A woman's body has been found after a house fire in South Belfast. | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
The fire was reported in the Archdale Drive area | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
of the Belvoir estate at around two o'clock this afternoon. | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
The body of the victim, believed to be in her 50's, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
An investigation has begun into the cause of the fire | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
and a post mortem examination is due to take place. | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
There are no further details at this stage. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
A man has escaped injury after a petrol bomb was thrown | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
The occupant had only recently moved into the house. | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
This was the damage caused by last night's attack in this small, | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
close-knit family area. It is understood the occupant is in his | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
30s and has lived here for just eight weeks with. This is about the | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
third attack in the last two months, in Banbridge. What we have seen last | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
night, thankfully, the fire was able to be put out quite quickly, but you | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
know these types of attacks could lead to somebody being really | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
seriously injured, or even worse. The attack happened at around half | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
past ten last night, and the neighbour, who contacted the fire | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Brigade, said the back wall of the body was ablaze. The flames were | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
confined just to this house, but in a row of terraced housing, the | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
consequences could have been far worse. Just a few feet from where | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
the petrol bomb exploded, lies a neighbour 's oil tank. This is going | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
to lead to someone being killed. Deserve a petrol bomb someone's | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
home, to set someone's car on fire, shows a total disregard for anyone | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
in the vicinity, for families in the vicinity, regardless of who the | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
intended target is or what the reasons behind attacks are. Police | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
say they are working to establish a motive for the attack and are | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
appealing for information. Emergency departments in hospitals | :02:00. | :02:01. | |
across Northern Ireland are currently experiencing | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
a high level of pressure. The Health and Social care board | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
and the Public Health Agency are warning that some patients | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
are having to wait longer In a joint statement they say | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
they're working closely with all five Health Trusts to try | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
and alleviate the pressure. A 29-year-old man is expected | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
to appear in court in Belfast tomorrow charged | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
with attempted murder. It's after a man was found | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
unconscious with severe head injuries at a flat in the mount | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
Vernon area in the north of the city In the Republic the army has been | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
deployed in some areas to rescue Around 130 families | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
have been stranded Almost 300 homes flooded in recent | :02:38. | :02:54. | |
weeks, now another 230 are under threat, and more than 100 cut off. | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
With the water in County Clare swamping houses, the agriculture and | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
defence Minister Simon Colby joined rescue workers in the spring filled | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
area. My house was the first to go on the 12th of December, it is my | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
home, I am homeless, I have no home at the moment, I cannot get down, I | :03:13. | :03:20. | |
have been down there on the 21st. I have had a cup of water and a bit to | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
aid in my house, and here we get again. It has gone on for years, and | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
you reckon it when we sorted till next year again. I want to stay in | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
my home, live in my home, I do not want to leave it and I want | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
something done. The minister said more Army personnel are being | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
deployed to help operate pumps for people who can't or won't lean their | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
homes. In County Prairie, the level of the rivers are being closely | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
monitored, hovering as they are just below the four metre mark, with more | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
rain expected. Residents have since been allowed to return home. Many | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
respected to return to work tomorrow, and schools reopening, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
people are being warned to take care on flooded roads, Czech Republic | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
transport, and ensure roads are open before setting off. | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
Well let's get a look at the forecast, now, | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
It was nice to see a bit of sunshine the softening. It is still dry in | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
many places at the moment but there is more rain on the way. It is | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
likely to become slow moving across parts of east in particular. Do | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
tomorrow. That could lead to over one inch of rain by the end of | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
Morrow. -- on Monday. The week will be unsettled, with this low-pressure | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
looking after our weather. The rain is so saturated, the ground is | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
risking flooding. There is a drop of temperatures, tempered as in single | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
figures this week. More where they rush expected for this type of year. | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
Rain warnings are still in place over Antrim, down and armour. It is | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
a wet start on the east, on your first day back to work or school, | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
expect areas of water, big puddles, possibly some localised flooding in | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
process, and unsettle generally across the UK and Ireland, with rain | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
never far away, although parts of East Anglia will have a decent chunk | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
of dry weather, but eastern Scotland however there is an amber rain | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
warning, for the next couple of days, so this could see some severe | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
flooding. The east we are concerned about tomorrow, by the end of the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
day there will be one inch of rain in places, normally not a problem, | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
but because the ground so when it did lead to some localised flooding. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
Area of low pressure moves away, bringing a area of dryness, before | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
another area of low pressure comes in for the end of the week, bring me | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
more rain. Not a cheery week, areas of rain never far away, and | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
temperatures are going to generally be in single figures. When's they | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
bring some dry weather for a while but more rain comes in from the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
Atlantic on Wednesday night. That will heavily drop and then slowly | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
move north through Thursday, and becoming more heavy over eastern | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Scotland and falling snow over high ground. Sunshine though comes in | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
behind it, so some dry weather perhaps later this week. | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
