investigate getting that back. The First and Deputy Ministers have

been talking in upbeat terms about Peter Robinson said the DUP and

Sinn Fein had reached agreement on the "substance" of a deal and he

:04:14.:04:19.

was hopeful of agreement this week. Martin McGuinness said while there

:04:20.:04:24.

was more work to be done, However, the Secretary of State,

:04:25.:04:27.

Theresa Villiers, There are a number of areas where we

:04:28.:04:32.

have closed the gap, but it is still very difficult to get a solution on

:04:33.:04:40.

implementation of Welfare Reform. That is absolutely crucial

:04:41.:04:46.

if the Executive will have I don't think we have got

:04:47.:04:49.

a resolution on that. Also, on the legacy bodies,

:04:50.:04:55.

in relation to national security matters, and onward disclosure

:04:56.:05:02.

of documentation continues to be sensitive and we are working

:05:03.:05:05.

on those matters, too. The First Minister said he agreed

:05:06.:05:09.

that a deal could not be guaranteed, I believe that things are going in

:05:10.:05:21.

the right direction. Obviously, when you are dealing with an agreement

:05:22.:05:26.

that the one to get the widest possible support for, the fact that

:05:27.:05:29.

the core of that agreement, the substance of it has been already

:05:30.:05:35.

agreed in dialogue terms between Sinn Fein and the DUP means that we

:05:36.:05:40.

then have to put it into text form. We want to do that in a way that can

:05:41.:05:45.

get the support of the other participating parties. I certainly

:05:46.:05:49.

believe at the beginning of the week, given what I think was great

:05:50.:05:54.

work done by some of the parties over the last couple of weeks were

:05:55.:05:58.

great progress was made, that a deal was achievable by the end of this

:05:59.:06:04.

week. I think of both governments applied the same urgency to the

:06:05.:06:07.

challenges that remain, the same urgency is as the parties have

:06:08.:06:13.

applied, then there would have been an agreement by the end of this

:06:14.:06:14.

week. A deer has been shot dead

:06:15.:06:17.

by police marksmen in the grounds As Maggie Taggart reports,

:06:18.:06:20.

the animal was said to be agitated It is the rutting season for deer,

:06:21.:06:29.

when males fight with each other in competition for females. Today at

:06:30.:06:34.

large stag with antlers were spotted in the grounds of Antrim Grammar

:06:35.:06:38.

School. Stafford told to keep the pupils endorse. I am no expert on

:06:39.:06:44.

dealing with a wild animal like this, but I have to say it was a

:06:45.:06:49.

huge animal. Knowing that and knowing how close are pupils were,

:06:50.:06:54.

it actually ran past some of the pupils when they were outside, that

:06:55.:06:58.

it could have caused damage and that would've been far worse for me as a

:06:59.:07:02.

principle to deal with if a child or a member of the public had been

injured. It been hoped the tranquillised the deer in school

grounds, but the animal was killed by a police marksman. The police

:07:11.:07:13.

said that regrettably after consultation with that were required

:07:14.:07:19.

to shoot the stag. They said was agitated and a threat to the public.

:07:20.:07:23.

The office of the police ombudsman has been informed.

:07:24.:07:28.

We were aware that shots had to be fired. As far as I can gather, there

:07:29.:07:36.

was no alternative. As you might expect, the 700 pupils here were

:07:37.:07:40.

fascinated by the whole operation even though they were locked inside

:07:41.:07:44.

the school. Some younger pupils were upset at the outcome and the death

:07:45.:07:48.

of the deer, but they understand some police liaison officers will be

:07:49.:07:52.

Looking ahead to BBC Newsline tomorrow, many parents take

:07:53.:07:55.

for granted getting a school place for their child, but what

:07:56.:07:58.

if they can't get a place because the child has not been baptised?

:07:59.:08:01.

Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison's been speaking to

:08:02.:08:03.

families who are struggling to get school places for their children.

:08:04.:08:07.

That's on BBC Newsline tomorrow evening at 6.30pm.

:08:08.:08:09.

The weather outlook now with Angie Philips.

:08:10.:08:22.

After last night, Murdoch holds the record for the warmest November

:08:23.:08:34.

night. We are in this warm swathe that is across the country. This

:08:35.:08:37.

warm front is bringing spells of rain throughout the day. In the hand

:08:38.:08:41.

that the error is not quite as mild. We still have the remnants of the

:08:42.:08:45.

front across the south-east through the night. It could be quite damp,

:08:46.:08:50.

particularly for County Down. Temperatures are into single

:08:51.:08:53.

figures, if degrees are still well above average for the time of year.

:08:54.:08:58.

Into tomorrow, we are not quite as optimistic as we have been over the

:08:59.:09:02.

last couple of days. There are showers in the forecast. The rain

:09:03.:09:05.

clears the County Down coast quite quickly than it is mainly dry and

:09:06.:09:10.

bright. The rain will clear the way from the south-east of the Republic

:09:11.:09:13.

of Ireland but lingering across northern England, northern parts of

:09:14.:09:17.

Wales. Scattered showers to the south of that, but mainly dry

:09:18.:09:21.

towards the east of thing in and it is still mild to the south of that,

:09:22.:09:25.

but mainly dry towards the east of thing in and it is still mad the

:09:26.:09:31.

Republic of Ireland. After a brighter start in Northern Ireland

:09:32.:09:35.

for many, this band of showers were moving and could be the risk of

:09:36.:09:38.

thunder before clearing away later on. The breeze will pick up with

:09:39.:09:42.

temperatures just like the above average of 12 degrees. Into

:09:43.:09:47.

Thursday, this deepening low, the first named storm of the season,

:09:48.:09:51.

Abigail, could cause disruption to the north and west of Scotland,

:09:52.:09:56.

certainly bringing us the rain and wind as well.
