News at Six, we will Good evening,

:00:00.:00:13.

the headlines on BBC Newsline: As the House of Commons debates

:00:14.:00:26.

bombing Syria, at least ten MPs from Northern Ireland are set to back

:00:27.:00:29.

military action in tonight's crucial vote.

:00:30.:00:30.

But there are mixed views on the issue among the

:00:31.:00:33.

No doubt we should hit them and hit them hard. Thousands of innocent

:00:34.:00:43.

people will be killed because of it. It is a disgrace.

:00:44.:00:44.

Police say they've made a significant breakthrough

:00:45.:00:46.

in their investigation of shootings carried out by a secret army unit.

:00:47.:00:49.

A warning about scam emails targeting young people - one girl is

:00:50.:00:53.

blackmailed after receiving a disturbing image online.

:00:54.:01:00.

Access to indecent images online is traumatising for children. As much

:01:01.:01:04.

as death and mutilation. The Catholic Church calls for

:01:05.:01:06.

Newry Council to remove a giant TV screen erected outside

:01:07.:01:09.

the city's cathedral. Rugby's recently crowned world

:01:10.:01:11.

champions, The All Blacks, are Dublin-bound to take on Ireland

:01:12.:01:13.

next year. And temperatures will be up and down

:01:14.:01:25.

will be the next few days. The rain will come and go. I will see you

:01:26.:01:27.

later in the programme. The majority of Northern Ireland's

:01:28.:01:29.

MPs are expected to vote in favour Since late this morning,

:01:30.:01:32.

the Commons has been debating the government's motion to bomb sites

:01:33.:01:39.

controlled by so-called Islamic The SDLP have criticised the

:01:40.:01:42.

Prime Minister for referring to opponents of air strikes

:01:43.:01:52.

as "terrorist sympathisers." BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has

:01:53.:01:55.

been listening to the debate. How have those comments from David

:01:56.:01:58.

Cameron affected todays's debate? I suppose the question being out

:01:59.:02:12.

here in Westminster tonight is will those comments mean David Cameron

:02:13.:02:17.

now loses the vote, no. Has he, though, lost some goodwill?

:02:18.:02:22.

Particularly on the Labour benches and may be the Northern Ireland

:02:23.:02:26.

benches in terms of the SDLP, the answer there is yes. As we can here

:02:27.:02:32.

now. David Cameron refused today to apologise. I feel it would have been

:02:33.:02:36.

better for him to do so because none of us are terrorists, who have been

:02:37.:02:42.

going through the no lobby tonight against mate air strikes. I am not a

:02:43.:02:47.

pacifist. I was one of the few people who called for bombing in

:02:48.:02:51.

Bosnia long before it is government policy and I am certainly not a

:02:52.:02:54.

supporter of terrorism from Northern Ireland. I hope the Prime Minister

:02:55.:02:59.

will apologise to me privately and publicly accused people like me

:03:00.:03:04.

tonight who might have been going against the motion, might have been

:03:05.:03:10.

supporting terrorism, I take it very personally. No sign of that

:03:11.:03:17.

apology. Not yet. Kate Hoe drawing on that experience in Belfast and so

:03:18.:03:21.

did the Belfast MP Nigel Dodds when he spoke this afternoon. You know on

:03:22.:03:28.

these benches all too well the consequences of terrorism being

:03:29.:03:32.

appeased and indulged. Terrorism must be faced up to. It is not a

:03:33.:03:37.

choice choice between political initiatives and fighting terrorism,

:03:38.:03:40.

both go hand-in-hand and that is way it is important. This motion talks

:03:41.:03:47.

about action now. Next, MPs are still talking in there and will be

:03:48.:03:50.

talking for the next 3.5 hours. We expect that vote at 10pm. David

:03:51.:03:56.

Cameron as things stand at the moment has a working majority of

:03:57.:04:00.

around 17. The smart thinking it is he will enhance the majority in

:04:01.:04:04.

terms of the overall vote with the help of those eight DUP MPs and two

:04:05.:04:10.

Ulster Unionist MPs. The meeting we don't know in terms of Northern

:04:11.:04:15.

Ireland, of course SDLP will fought against, is what will happen with

:04:16.:04:18.

Lady Sylvia Hermon. She says she will make her mind up at the very

:04:19.:04:20.

last minute. While the politicians continue their

:04:21.:04:23.

debate on military action, we've Not Westminster, but still, here,

:04:24.:04:26.

debate over a drink. Should Britain take military action

:04:27.:04:32.

against so-called Islamic State Well, I am always a great one for

:04:33.:04:45.

talk before action. A trying time is all about talking. What are they

:04:46.:04:50.

going to do, let them rule the world? Go get them and take them

:04:51.:04:54.

out. No doubt we should hit them hard. Take it from me. Wherever you

:04:55.:05:00.

go, opinion is next. It will put London at risk, you never know, even

:05:01.:05:05.

Derry. I think we sometimes have to go in and say this is it. I would

:05:06.:05:10.

be... You never know what is going to come out of it later on if you do

:05:11.:05:12.

bomb Syria. A big threat, yes,

:05:13.:05:13.

but one made even bigger by military If we sent warplanes to Syria now

:05:14.:05:25.

and then one bomb astray and we see a child died on the street, then

:05:26.:05:33.

that is their opportunity, they are looking for. They will record

:05:34.:05:39.

themselves... So you believe by bombing the so-called Islamic State

:05:40.:05:42.

in Syria, they are playing into their hands? Young people are

:05:43.:05:46.

leaving from Europe. Why are they going there, because they are using

:05:47.:05:51.

this propaganda. I think the opponents of bombing have won the

:05:52.:05:54.

argument. I think David Cameron has to resort to calling them

:05:55.:06:02.

sympathisers of terrorism, that shows you how weak his cases. But

:06:03.:06:07.

those working in the media have witnessed a transformation in the

:06:08.:06:11.

way public opinion grows and ships with millions now sharing their

:06:12.:06:13.

experiences and thought on the internet. There is an awful lot more

:06:14.:06:19.

opinion out there, some of that informed and so on but not so much

:06:20.:06:22.

informed, and some of that outright propaganda but people have that

:06:23.:06:26.

large platform when they can get the information from so many different

:06:27.:06:31.

sources, and they can, make their own opinions and have their own

:06:32.:06:34.

debates and that is not happening at the minute. I think that we don't

:06:35.:06:39.

need another conflict that cost millions of taxpayers pounds. I

:06:40.:06:43.

think, obviously, France and America have asked for help, if we, as

:06:44.:06:50.

Labour help, we would expect it. However, -- ask for their help. One

:06:51.:06:55.

thing is for sure, opinion is divided.

:06:56.:06:57.

Other news in brief, and the man who died in yesterday's

:06:58.:06:59.

road crash on the A1 was Eugene McNally, who had recently retired

:07:00.:07:02.

Two other men were also injured in the two-vehicle collision close

:07:03.:07:07.

Their injuries were not life-threatening.

:07:08.:07:11.

A convicted Garda killer has been sentenced to 12 years

:07:12.:07:15.

for repeatedly stabbing his estranged wife in front of their

:07:16.:07:19.

Pearse McAuley also pleaded guilty to other charges, including falsely

:07:20.:07:24.

A man's been arrested over a hammer attack on a Bangor community worker.

:07:25.:07:31.

Aaron McMahon was assaulted in the Clandeboye Road area last week.

:07:32.:07:44.

Detectives have revealed that a witness has contacted them with

:07:45.:07:50.

significant new information in their investigation into a secret army

:07:51.:07:54.

unit. It is alleged the unit shot unarmed civilians in Belfast in the

:07:55.:07:59.

early 1970s. A member of the public phoned the police shortly after

:08:00.:08:03.

their appeal for witnesses to two killings and other shootings. Our

:08:04.:08:06.

Home Affairs Correspondent, Vincent Kearney supports.

:08:07.:08:10.

43 years ago, members of a secret army unit used unmarked cars to

:08:11.:08:14.

There were 40 members of what was called the Military Reaction Force.

:08:15.:08:19.

Two years ago, a BBC Panorama programme broadcast claims

:08:20.:08:21.

by former members who said the unit had shot unarmed civilians as part

:08:22.:08:24.

They spoke on condition that their identities were disguised.

:08:25.:08:33.

We were not there to act like an army unit.

:08:34.:08:36.

We were there to act like a terror group.

:08:37.:08:42.

We were not a death squad. We were there to do a job, to eliminate an

:08:43.:08:48.

enemy that was worthless. After the programme was broadcast,

:08:49.:08:49.

the Director of Public Prosecutions instructed

:08:50.:08:52.

the PSNI to investigate the claims. This morning, the police issued

:08:53.:08:53.

an appeal for anyone with information about the army unit's

:08:54.:08:56.

alleged activities to come forward. They also released maps showing

:08:57.:08:59.

the locations, dates and times of 18 shooting incidents, including

:09:00.:09:04.

the killings of 44-year-old Patrick McVeigh in May 1972, and 18-year-old

:09:05.:09:09.

Daniel Rooney four months later. Hours after making the appeal,

:09:10.:09:14.

the detective leading the investigation said there'd been

:09:15.:09:17.

a potential breakthrough. Today, I have had significant new

:09:18.:09:29.

information into my investigation. A member of the public, a witness, as

:09:30.:09:34.

phoned in 43 years later and that gives me great encouragement and I

:09:35.:09:38.

would appeal to anyone, 43 years later, whatever information you

:09:39.:09:42.

have, it may not significant to you but it could be highly significant

:09:43.:09:44.

domain investigation, please come forward. What can you say about that

:09:45.:09:50.

witness? It has provided me with significant new information, a new

:09:51.:09:51.

line of enquiry. That news has been welcomed

:09:52.:09:56.

by the daughter of one of the men I am delighted to hear it. The more

:09:57.:10:05.

the merrier. It is very good. I am glad to hear it. It could be a vital

:10:06.:10:09.

piece of information that could lead to a prosecution.

:10:10.:10:10.

The MRF operated in West Belfast for 18 months

:10:11.:10:12.

All records of its activities were destroyed.

:10:13.:10:30.

A 15-year-old boy has been hit by a car and is in a critical condition

:10:31.:10:37.

in hospital. He was on his way home from school when he was knocked down

:10:38.:10:41.

on by a car and is in a critical condition in hospital. He was on his

:10:42.:10:44.

way home from school when he was knocked

:10:45.:10:50.

Next, another warning about staying safe on the internet, and the danger

:10:51.:10:53.

of sinister individuals or groups who prey on young people online.

:10:54.:10:56.

Our reporter Ita Dungan has been looking at the case

:10:57.:10:58.

a tablet like this will be on many Christmas list this year. It will

:10:59.:11:06.

provide many hours of fun, entertainment and education but it

:11:07.:11:10.

can also be used to scam or blackmail a child and their parents

:11:11.:11:14.

and that is what happened to 113-year-old girl from North Down

:11:15.:11:19.

yesterday. When she -- 113-year-old girl. She clicked on an e-mail and

:11:20.:11:24.

an indecent image came up her tablet shut down and this message

:11:25.:11:29.

appeared. Complete with police force logos, it says you are accused of

:11:30.:11:34.

viewing banned pornography including child pornography and rape. It goes

:11:35.:11:38.

on to say that now you have viewed it, you could face prison for up to

:11:39.:11:45.

five to 11 years. In thick legal language it then says this find.

:11:46.:11:54.

13-year-old did not pay but it has affected her deeply. Access to these

:11:55.:11:59.

images online is very traumatising, every bit as colonising as death or

:12:00.:12:04.

mutilation. The first step is not to be frightened to talk to someone

:12:05.:12:07.

about it. Talk to a parent, talk to a teacher. If you don't feel you can

:12:08.:12:11.

do that, talk to our ChildLine service on the first step is not to

:12:12.:12:14.

be frightened to talk to someone about it. Talk to a parent, talk to

:12:15.:12:18.

a teacher. If you don't feel you can do that, talk to our ChildLine

:12:19.:12:22.

service on oh you can prevent something like this by educating

:12:23.:12:26.

about what is a weird looking e-mail? What should you click on? If

:12:27.:12:33.

you don't know who a person is, pay close attention to it. Never trust

:12:34.:12:38.

links in an e-mail. Type in the address of a site before you visited

:12:39.:12:42.

rather than relying on the ink in the e-mail and clicking on it. The

:12:43.:12:46.

message is, if you are buying a tablet for your child, put

:12:47.:12:51.

restrictions in place and sit down and explain to them what a dodgy

:12:52.:12:53.

e-mail could look like. The young entrepreneurs who are

:12:54.:13:02.

talking their products straight to market.

:13:03.:13:04.

There's controversy in Newry over a new big TV screen TV

:13:05.:13:08.

The local council says it will help create a social hub.

:13:09.:13:12.

The church says it wasn't consulted about the plan,

:13:13.:13:14.

Newry Cathedral is one of the city's most iconic buildings and its

:13:15.:13:26.

newest neighbour is at the heart of a holy row. We just want it moved.

:13:27.:13:33.

It has to be moot. There is an absolute outcry by the parishioners

:13:34.:13:41.

here in Newry. -- moved. As residents on Hill Street, there was

:13:42.:13:46.

absolutely no consultation. As part of the planning application, the

:13:47.:13:51.

planners have the responsibility to publicly advertise the applications.

:13:52.:13:55.

It was in all of the local press. It is obviously in the shadow of the

:13:56.:13:59.

cathedral. People aren't happy with that, what is your answer to that?

:14:00.:14:04.

My view is that this is the event space for the city centre. The

:14:05.:14:07.

council intended using this for a large number of events. We think the

:14:08.:14:12.

location is perfect for all of the events that we will be organising.

:14:13.:14:17.

Work is ongoing but the big screen will be up and running from the

:14:18.:14:23.

start of next week. It's cost around ?110,000 and the council says it

:14:24.:14:27.

will show a range of things from Christmas films to football at next

:14:28.:14:30.

summer as European Championships. Public opinion remains divided. I

:14:31.:14:36.

think is a bit of an eyesore to be honest with you. It's blocking the

:14:37.:14:41.

view of our beautiful cathedral and a ticket should. I think it is a

:14:42.:14:45.

billion payday. Social media is giving it a hard time at the minute.

:14:46.:14:50.

If it improves the town centre or city centre it has to be good. Try

:14:51.:14:54.

something different. I don't like the position. People on Hill Street,

:14:55.:15:06.

as you see, very little shops around, more people back on Hill

:15:07.:15:11.

Street the better. Times Square, perhaps not, but people in Newry

:15:12.:15:15.

could be glued to a TV of a different kind this Christmas.

:15:16.:15:17.

The BBC programme the Apprentice should have been in Belfast today,

:15:18.:15:19.

because hundreds of young business people were

:15:20.:15:22.

School pupils were selling products they'd designed, produced and

:15:23.:15:27.

marketed themselves in a scheme run by the Young Enterprise charity.

:15:28.:15:30.

Our Education Correspondent, Robbie Meredith, was there.

:15:31.:15:38.

There are hundreds of students at St George's Market this morning, from

:15:39.:15:45.

around 70 school run companies all of whom have set up and are running

:15:46.:15:50.

their own business. Here is something high-tech. Adam, tell me

:15:51.:15:54.

what you are selling. This is called the carb. It is a Bluetooth tracking

:15:55.:15:58.

device which you would use quite often. So if you have keys? Even

:15:59.:16:06.

pets that run around the house a lot. So he had taken this idea to

:16:07.:16:10.

set up a company, what have you learnt from that? How to perform

:16:11.:16:15.

professionally in front of business people. Like someone from the

:16:16.:16:19.

apprentice, Adam, thanks. We have gone from something high-tech to

:16:20.:16:23.

something traditional. Some gifts will comment particularly handy this

:16:24.:16:27.

year. Tell us what your son. Christmas logs for anyone who wants

:16:28.:16:31.

to buy them and they can be personalised. You have also set up

:16:32.:16:36.

as a school to design and market them but there have been some speed

:16:37.:16:41.

bumps. Tell about that. Some of our equipment didn't come in time, so we

:16:42.:16:45.

had to drive up to Belfast one night to get the stock because we couldn't

:16:46.:16:49.

do it without it. We left it a wee bit to the last minute so we need to

:16:50.:16:53.

organise our time better. Lisa, thank you very much. Good luck. I am

:16:54.:16:57.

also here with Carol that Simon is the CEO of the Young Enterprise. You

:16:58.:17:04.

organise this. -- Carol that Simon. This is about giving young people

:17:05.:17:08.

the opportunity to build skills for life and work. Give exposure to

:17:09.:17:12.

business. We want to create a business economy and more

:17:13.:17:15.

entrepreneurs but we also need young people who are skilled. We

:17:16.:17:18.

constantly hear from the CBI and other organisations for the need for

:17:19.:17:22.

young people to come work ready for them and that is what it is about.

:17:23.:17:27.

Thank you. St George's Market today, lots for sale, lots of interest, I

:17:28.:17:31.

might even start my Christmas shopping before Christmas Eve this

:17:32.:17:32.

year. A unique world record is being

:17:33.:17:35.

remembered in Scotland this year - the achievement of this group

:17:36.:17:38.

of Irish miners. 60 years ago,

:17:39.:17:42.

the Tunnel Tigers as they were known worked deep underground cutting out

:17:43.:17:46.

rock for hydro-electricity schemes As Kevin Sharkey reports, their work

:17:47.:17:48.

was part of a long tradition Immigration is part of Irish history

:17:49.:18:06.

and tradition. Work and wages from abroad needed to sustain these

:18:07.:18:09.

communities. High stakes and sometimes even higher risks

:18:10.:18:16.

underground. In Scotland in 1955, this dangerous work give one group

:18:17.:18:19.

of dollars a chance to set a world record. Among them, Colin

:18:20.:18:30.

Gallagher, then and now. The dangers, and there was no safety.

:18:31.:18:40.

You could wear a helmet or go without a helmet. Now you can't.

:18:41.:18:45.

Other immigrants who also worked in tunnels across the UK are still in

:18:46.:18:49.

all of the world record. They drilled through solid rock for 567

:18:50.:18:57.

feet and seven days. They never, ever in the history of mankind would

:18:58.:19:03.

ever be done again. It was a superhuman effort. They worked for

:19:04.:19:09.

me, supermen. -- were to me. This landscape of Donegal is not unlike

:19:10.:19:15.

Scotland, rugged and imparts difficult to make a living from. But

:19:16.:19:19.

in the middle of the last century, change came to Scotland, the advent

:19:20.:19:24.

of hydroelectric systems that changed the life of Scotland and the

:19:25.:19:28.

lives of communities here in Ireland. The people that worked in

:19:29.:19:34.

Scotland, especially the people from Donegal, they sent the money home

:19:35.:19:39.

through wires. They loaded the financial foundation of this country

:19:40.:19:43.

even. But the benefits to some communities came at a cost for

:19:44.:19:49.

other. Danger and death sometimes never far apart, in a poignant case,

:19:50.:19:56.

two friends, one lived, one died. He was driving it out from the tunnel.

:19:57.:20:06.

He asked me for a cigarette and they gave him a cigarette. He came out,

:20:07.:20:15.

the next load came out, he was dead. Many tunnel workers are now living

:20:16.:20:22.

retired in their homeland, but their contribution to Scotland will be

:20:23.:20:25.

showcased at the new visitor centre being opened by southern and

:20:26.:20:31.

Scottish energy and they have decided to acknowledge their work.

:20:32.:20:35.

Back in Ireland, these communities still face challenges but they find

:20:36.:20:40.

inspiration to front the sacrifices of immigrant workers on the road

:20:41.:20:44.

less travelled in search of a better future. And a rainbow in the middle

:20:45.:20:50.

of it all. Stephen Watson is here with the this

:20:51.:20:51.

evening's sport - and Stephen, The World Cup is not long over,

:20:52.:20:54.

and today came confirmation that reigning champions New Zealand are

:20:55.:20:58.

Dublin-bound. Ireland will play both the

:20:59.:21:00.

All Blacks and beaten World Cup finalists Australia in Novemeber

:21:01.:21:02.

of next year. Meanwhile, Ulster's Franco Van der

:21:03.:21:06.

Merwe has told BBC Newsline he's confident the team can halt

:21:07.:21:08.

its recent run of poor form. Ulster lie seventh in the Pro12

:21:09.:21:12.

table after eight rounds of fixtures, level on points with

:21:13.:21:14.

Edinburgh, their opponents at I think it happens to any sportsman.

:21:15.:21:29.

You go through a sticky patch, but looking back at the Leinster game,

:21:30.:21:33.

there was something that the guys showed, a lots of passion that the

:21:34.:21:36.

guys showed. A lot of enthusiasm they showed on the day. If we can

:21:37.:21:44.

show some of this week, we've had three games really going well for us

:21:45.:21:48.

winning with bonus points, hopefully we can take the confidence into the

:21:49.:21:51.

game, but it is important for us to play well. Friday's game is live on

:21:52.:21:55.

BBC Two. Just a little over two years ago,

:21:56.:21:57.

as a teenager, a freak accident on the rugby field

:21:58.:22:00.

left David Ross wheelchair-bound. But

:22:01.:22:02.

despite sustaining serious spinal injuries, the Moira man refused to

:22:03.:22:03.

give up on the sport he loved. David now has his sights set on

:22:04.:22:06.

the Paralympic Games, and has called on one of Ulster's most capped

:22:07.:22:09.

players to help get him there. Just a week and a half after a

:22:10.:22:21.

lengthy rehabilitation period in Musgrave Marcos Buttle, David Ross

:22:22.:22:28.

was back in action. The first time I would've seen it was in 2012,

:22:29.:22:32.

watching the TV, flicking it on. I would never have thought I would be

:22:33.:22:37.

playing it, but eight months after that I had an accident playing rugby

:22:38.:22:42.

which left me in a wheelchair. It was a freak accident. I don't blame

:22:43.:22:47.

it. These things happen. You take it and adapt so that is what I'm doing

:22:48.:22:52.

playing this board has definitely been a huge help to my physical and

:22:53.:22:56.

mental well-being. And just how competitive does it get? Who better

:22:57.:23:00.

to ask them a former Irish international? It has been great

:23:01.:23:04.

crack. I didn't know what to expect but it is usually competitive and

:23:05.:23:10.

physical which is great. That is what rugby is all about and taking

:23:11.:23:15.

hits and shaking hands afterwards, no different here. The pinnacle in

:23:16.:23:19.

the sport and the dream for David is to become a Paralympic in. I think

:23:20.:23:24.

that is the ultimate goal for anyone with a disability. Just to get to

:23:25.:23:32.

that level, I can't put it into words what I mean. Just thinking

:23:33.:23:41.

about it is crazy. Rio come too soon to him but he will be pushing hard

:23:42.:23:43.

to make the games. Ballymena United are through to

:23:44.:23:46.

the first final It took a dramatic extra time winner

:23:47.:23:48.

to overcome neighbours Larne 3-2. Linfield or Carrick await

:23:49.:23:54.

in the County Antrim Shield final. This game came to life with just 14

:23:55.:24:09.

minutes of the 90 remaining. Stewart McMullen's superb strike looked to

:24:10.:24:13.

have sealed victory for the championship side and a place in the

:24:14.:24:19.

County Antrim decider. But Ballymena had other ideas. Willie Faulkner

:24:20.:24:25.

equalising in the final minute to force extra time. Soon after, the

:24:26.:24:35.

visitors took the lead. Lively substitute Darren Henderson putting

:24:36.:24:40.

Glenn Ferguson's side ahead. The quickest to react when Faulkner's

:24:41.:24:45.

shot was parried. But within five minutes, Lauren were level. Conall

:24:46.:24:49.

McGrandless capitalising on some poor Ballymena defending to bundle

:24:50.:24:57.

it into the net. Just when it look like the game would be settled on

:24:58.:25:05.

penalties, Ballymena found a winner. Sealing a place in the final where

:25:06.:25:10.

they will play either Linfield or Carrick Rangers when their semi was

:25:11.:25:13.

postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.

:25:14.:25:14.

Wladimir Klitschko has confirmed he wants to fight

:25:15.:25:16.

Fury became world heavyweight champion.

:25:17.:25:20.

The contract for the fight included a clause for a rematch.

:25:21.:25:27.

He will be in training. The weather is next with Cecelia Daly. Thank

:25:28.:25:34.

you. Some nice weather today. It will be chilly tonight but for a

:25:35.:25:37.

while it was quite pleasant this afternoon. One of our original

:25:38.:25:41.

weather watchers captured this shot on the north coast earlier today,

:25:42.:25:45.

even the seagulls are happy that it has finally stopped raining. Chilly

:25:46.:25:50.

tonight but not as cold as it was five years ago during the big freeze

:25:51.:25:53.

when the River Foyle had slabs of ice on top of it. Temperatures

:25:54.:25:58.

tonight quite warm in comparison but it will get close to freezing

:25:59.:26:02.

especially across parts of the west towards the north coast where there

:26:03.:26:07.

will be some frost. The frost won't necessarily be everywhere, mourning.

:26:08.:26:09.

That is due to the weather front that will throw cloud up across

:26:10.:26:13.

Belfast, County Down and Armagh tomorrow. Dry weather for tomorrow

:26:14.:26:21.

night. Frost to begin with, especially in the West and up

:26:22.:26:23.

towards the north coast. Everywhere will see some dry weather at some

:26:24.:26:27.

stage of the day but it won't necessarily lust. To begin with

:26:28.:26:31.

tomorrow morning, you might need to scrape your car windscreen in the

:26:32.:26:37.

West. Apache frost and temperatures by the time we get to 9am might be

:26:38.:26:43.

frost free. Cloudier skies creeping up over County Down and Armagh and

:26:44.:26:47.

up towards Belfast, the threat of some rain. Hopefully nothing too

:26:48.:26:52.

much, it will move away later in the day. Cooler everywhere,.

:26:53.:26:56.

Temperatures into single figures, six or seven Celsius, about the time

:26:57.:27:00.

of year. Still very light winds which is good and tomorrow night

:27:01.:27:04.

will turn chilly again with one or two showers in the breeze.

:27:05.:27:08.

Temperatures could get close to freezing in between, the risk of

:27:09.:27:13.

frost and icy patches. Moving on to Friday, a reasonable amount of dry

:27:14.:27:16.

weather through the day. The breeze picking up again and with that

:27:17.:27:22.

milder air, rain returns later in the day and through Friday night, so

:27:23.:27:26.

it is unsettled this weekend. The better of the two days looks Sunday.

:27:27.:27:34.

Enjoy your evening. Thank you. Tonight's news is at a later time of

:27:35.:27:38.

10:55pm because of the extended vote in the House of Commons. From us,

:27:39.:27:40.

good night.
