Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: | :00:25. | :00:25. | |
Heavy snow causes treacherous driving conditions in many places. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
As pedestrians slip and slide, who should take responsibility | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
Almost 400 were arrested over Christmas, accused of trick driving, | :00:34. | :00:49. | |
including a police officer. -- drinking and driving. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |

First to that exclusive story about a prison | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
She has been arrested over an alleged sexual affair | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
The officer has been suspended from duty while it's understood | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
the prisoner has been moved to an isolation unit | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
This is the loyalist killer at the centre of an alleged sexual scandal, | :01:28. | :01:43. | |
in which a female officer has been suspended and arrested. Robert Young | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
is serving a life sentence for a brutal murder in 2003. Drug dealer | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
Jim Johnson was shot outside his home. Jailing for a minimum of 22 | :01:53. | :01:59. | |
years, the judge said he had shown Siew Prima indifference to the | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
murder and his conviction. He said he was guilty of a brutal, callous | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
murder. -- shown extreme indifference. There was a suspicion | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
of a relationship developing between the officer and young, while both | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
work in the prison kitchens. It is understood the officer was arrested | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
last week as she arrived for work. But the authorities had suspected | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
something was wrong much earlier. A decision was taken to launch a | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
covert intelligence gathering operation. This eventually led to | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
police being called in. The officer was arrested and questioned about a | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
suspected sexual relationship with the prisoner. She has been released | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
on police bail pending further investigations but potentially faces | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
a charge of gross misconduct in a public office. In a statement, the | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
Department of Justice said... Tonight, I understand Robert Young | :02:54. | :03:12. | |
is being held in an isolation unit as the authorities try and establish | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
if what was allegedly going on could have led to any breaches of prison | :03:19. | :03:19. | |
security. The first real cold snap | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
of the winter has caused problems on the roads and led | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
to the closure of two schools. Overnight snow falls and freezing | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
conditions meant people living on higher ground and in more | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
isolated areas were worst hit, particularly in county Tyrone | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
and across the north west. Road gritters had to be withdrawn | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
from service in Londonderry after they came under attack | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
from stone throwers. Even the critters found it difficult | :03:45. | :03:57. | |
in the winter conditions. This vehicle was not alone. Motorists on | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
high ground and on untreated roads struggled to cope. We had heavy snow | :04:03. | :04:13. | |
overnight. Ice on the roads this morning. It was not easy getting | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
about. They are very slippy. It is difficult here. I have only just | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
come out. But the road is very slippery now. Very bad. I have not | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
been on the main road yet. We started at nine o'clock this | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
morning. The main roads are fine. Some of these high roads and by | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
roads, there is a covering of snow and ice. They are treacherous. In | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Derry, these vehicles treating roads in the Creggan area had to be | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
withdrawn four hours overnight after they were attacked by stonethrowers. | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
Ten past ten last night a driver reported he came under attack in the | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Creggan estate by young people throwing snowballs and stones. The | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
policy is when that happens the driver is removed from that area for | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
his safety. Unfortunately a number of roads in that area were left | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
untreated. Life on the farm is were made harder by cold snaps and | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
keeping livestock fed and watered is a priority. It has come very quick. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
We were not expecting so much this morning when we came out. You cannot | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
get the tractors into sheds and start to get them out of the cold. | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
There is no water in the pipes and you have to carry water. Everything | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
takes a while longer and is a bit harder. The sheds are cold, cold | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
air, you are in the middle of the night Cowles, calves are born and | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
are a bit delicate and you can lose cards in the cold. Despite the | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
weather, just two schools had to close in Northern Ireland, one in | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
Tyrone and one in the Glens of Antrim. Alternative methods of | :05:59. | :06:06. | |
transport were being tried out! Elsewhere, the more conventional | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
travellers were taking it easy. Concentrating on the road ahead. | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
Others were taking the opportunity to grab some spectacular pictures | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
with aerial drones. It does not matter what Curry -- colour your | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
will is. It is same in this area and it looks set to continue. There is a | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
warning of sub zero temperatures, freezing fog and more ice on the way | :06:32. | :06:32. | |
tonight. The weather forecast is for more sub | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
zero temperatures along We'll have more on that later | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
in the programme. The freezing conditions have also | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
been causing major problems for pedestrians and now there's | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
a row over who is responsible Many people in Belfast city centre | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
faced a treacherous walk to work this morning, as Rick Faragher | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
has been finding out. Treading carefully. People struggle | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
on pavements covered in highs. Temperature dropped to freezing. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
People are working to find little treatment on the footways. I watched | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
and people are slippery -- slipping on the pavement and walking | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
awkwardly into work. It slowed people down, slowed into use down in | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
terms of getting to work places this morning. I walked to work the other | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
day and fell ten times. Residential areas are worse than they are. But I | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
have not had problems myself. Children come here and all people | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
and it is very slippy. Even in the afternoon people carried on with | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
caution as the temperature again fell. Who is responsible for making | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
icy pavement safe? It is not a statutory responsibility. It is the | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
people working on the road service. If they want to transfer that power, | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
I think no stone should be turned till I get it sorted out. I do not | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
want people falling like they did this morning and putting pressure on | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
emergency units. In response, transport and I said that... | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
More freezing weather is expected to night and this weekend. It means | :08:16. | :08:27. | |
another treacherous the days for pedestrians. -- tonight and this | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
weekend. The police arrested a man they'd | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
been searching for in connection with a serious assault | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
on a woman in Newtownabbey. Officers had appealed | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
for the 33-year-old man to contact them after a woman was critically | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
injured in the attack in Glengormley The police had released a photo | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
of him and details of his car on Thursday and warned the public | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
not to approach him. The man was arrested | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
on the Newtownards Road in Belfast Almost 400 motorists were arrested | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
over Christmas accused The number of arrests | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
amounted to a 40% increase Every drink increases your risk of | :09:03. | :09:23. | |
crashing. In spite of all the television advert campaigns, police | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
warnings, the number of people drinking and driving is not going | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
down. In fact it is going up. Over Christmas and the New Year, 396 | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
people were arrested. 71 women and 325 men. Including one driver | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
arrested twice in a few days. Both on suspicion of drink and driving. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
The total number of arrests is higher than last year. It is a 40% | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
increase. One of those arrested by the police was one of their own | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
officers. What happens to police officers if they are found guilty of | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
drinking and driving? A number of police officers have lost their jobs | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
recently. They can certainly expect to find themselves in front of a | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
panel when action -- and one action available is the loss of a job. This | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
is the latest TV ad. Police hope drivers get the message. Anybody | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
caught in the campaign of Christmas can be expected to be charged and | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
put before a court, they can expect to convocation from driving and had | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
to pass the test before coming back road and big insurance bills when | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
they do try to come back after at least 12 months. In addition to the | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
significant social embarrassment for being caught. Who are the people | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
being arrested? Police statistics show they are right across Northern | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
Ireland and of all different ages, from teenagers to one driver | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
arrested this Christmas, aged 83. The holiday period might now be over | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
but the warnings and testing will continue. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
There's been a verdict of accidental death recorded at the inquest | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
His foreman had two pilots were killed in 2014 when the helicopter | :11:12. | :11:28. | |
in which they travelled came down in dense fog in Norfolk. The founder of | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Norbrook Laboratories was one of the richest men in Highland. The inquest | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
held that there were no mechanical faults with the helicopter but it | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
would not be allowed to take off from a licensed aerodrome in severe | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
weather conditions. Private helipads are not subject to the same | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
regulations. We believe after this evidence that it was a preventable | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
accident. We urge the aviation authority to expedite the | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
application of long overdue regulations. They are expected to | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
come into force later this year, August 2000 16. It is essential to | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
stop the loss of more innocent lives. -- 2016. | :12:11. | :12:26. | |
A 21-year-old, whose name cannot be given appeared in a court in Belfast | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
earlier this week when she was ordered to stand trial at a date yet | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
to be set. A protest was organised by a Lions for choice saying that | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
she was the first to be charged with procuring her own abortion in at | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
least 40 years. Two English exam boards announced | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
yesterday that they would no longer That affects about a quarter | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
of exams taken by pupils Come September all English boards | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
will operate under a numerical results system with | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
nine to one grade. The results here will | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
continue to be A to G. After repeated calls | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
for the Education Minister to change in line with England I | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
asked him this afternoon how much he thought local | :13:10. | :13:11. | |
students would lose out. I do not think they will lose out | :13:12. | :13:22. | |
and if I did I would not have made the decision, made in November 2000 | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
15. As part of the planning I did not hesitate at a number of the | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
awarding body saying they may remove the services. I have plans in place | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
and I will be giving two schools Mapping the way ahead for those | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
students currently studying on what is known as the current system and | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
in future years to come. What do you say to parents fearful their | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
children will not have the same education standard they now have at | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
the moment? And in particular the choice of different exams, subjects | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
and courses? They will have access to the same courses and access to | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
the same subjects. The question is who will be the provider? That is | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
the question to be answered. I am confident that we will be able to | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
provide robust transferable exams this year and into the future. I | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
have prepared for this announcement from what is known as the awarding | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
bodies for several weeks and I will put forward more information to | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
schools in weeks to come. Plans are at an advanced stage. It has not | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
come as a shock. It is disappointing this decision has been made but it | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
has not been a surprise or shock. They have not caught us on the hop. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Plans are in place and they will be communicated to schools and students | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
and parents. You can guarantee children are not being put out on a | :14:52. | :14:56. | |
limb, so to speak? It must you remembered that they went on their | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
own in regards to the GCSE model. England alone has decided to award | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
9-1. Wales remained with the same system I'm advocating. Scotland has | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
a totally different education exam system, as does the south of | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Ireland. All these systems can move forward. John O'Dowd. | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
We have a story of enduring love between this man | :15:28. | :15:29. | |
and woman who've been married for nearly 70 years. | :15:30. | :15:31. | |
When Aileen Steele had to go into a care home in Ballynahinch, | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
her husband Herbie, who is 91, moved house so he be close to her. | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Would you Move mountains to be close to a loved one? Herbie has done the | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
next test thing, moving house from his old family home 20 miles down | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
the road to be beside his wife. She is being cared for in a nursing home | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
for elderly people with dementia. I met her on VE night. May, 1945. He | :16:00. | :16:11. | |
was then only 17 and a half. I was 20. They were married three years | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
later. Herbie lives opposite the care home despite being blind, he | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
visits his wife every day. I wanted to be with her. Always very close | :16:23. | :16:32. | |
together. Very much so. All right, Herbie? He can only make the short | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
trip if somebody is with him. This is his neighbour. Sometimes I say, I | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
do not think we will go today because it is a very bad day. He | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
says, if you're willing to go, I am, he says. She does not know much | :16:48. | :17:02. | |
about it. She knows very little. Knows very little, the memory has | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
completely gone. Very often there is no talk out of her at all. I am | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
happy to be very close to her, even though I cannot be with her all the | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
time. It makes me very happy to see her happy and contented. He has | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
moved heaven and earth to be with her, a good old-fashioned love | :17:26. | :17:26. | |
story. Two peas in a pod. This is one of the world's most | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
famous paintings by the Dutch artist It goes on display at | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
the Ulster Museum in Belfast this weekend and is part of a tour | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
of masterpieces which allows more You've heard of people taking | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
a selfie with their mobile phones. Well, as Francis Gorman reports, | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
this is a 400 year version. It is called self portrait, at the | :17:49. | :18:03. | |
age of 63. It was painted in the last year of the artist's live, | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
1669. It has been in the National Gallery in London since 1851 and has | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
now come to the Ulster Museum. I could not be more pleased. Never in | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
my career have I ever had anything as excited as hanging a Rembrandt in | :18:18. | :18:28. | |
the museum. It is the quality, excitedly the beauty of the work. It | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
does everything. It is a magnificent painting. Children from a school in | :18:32. | :18:37. | |
County Armagh were among the first to see the painting today. It makes | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
him look really strong and powerful and shows how great he was in the | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
17th century and how important he may have been. It is great showing | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
them the work on the Internet, but the first preference is to show them | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
art in its natural state. Standing in the gallery, feet on the ground, | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
looking at it, enjoying it and appreciating it in the real sense, | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
that is when you get the full emotional work. It is part of an | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
exhibition showcasing the Ulster Museum's collection of old Dutch | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
masters and runs until March the 13th. | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
There's an important weekend ahead for Ulster's rugby players | :19:19. | :19:20. | |
Payne is back just in time for the European game | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
It is the first game for Ulster this season after he sustained a foot | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
He's one of seven changes to the team which narrowly | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
defeated Oyannax last week, with key players Ryan Pienaar, | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
Paddy Jackson and Andrew Trimble all included. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
As Nial Foster reports Ulster haven't got a good track record | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
Earlier this season, humbled at home by the English champions. It has | :19:48. | :20:01. | |
been a recurrent theme. They have played this side three times in | :20:02. | :20:04. | |
three years and lost on each occasion. They are roaring into the | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
lead here in Belfast! At the time it hurt. We try not to make it a case | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
of, we go there... It is more taking confidence and momentum from the | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
weekend and carrying it forward and getting the details right this week, | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
and going there with confidence and putting in a big performance. | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
Despite losing for the first time this season last week against | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
harlequins in the industry and a ship, Saracens are widely regarded | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
as the best team in the northern hemisphere. -- in the premiership. | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
They are quite pragmatic and the nature allows them to be as good as | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
they are. They understand exactly what they need to do. Were they need | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
to be. In preparing for them, it is not difficult but dealing with them | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
is difficult. Like the opposition last week in France, they also play | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
on an artificial surface. Ulster are prepared. We have played on this | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
before. We are very happy to play on that hard surface and throw the ball | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
around. And they are as well, it seems. It is the home feel. It is a | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
big game of physicality, it is what they pride themselves on. We have | :21:22. | :21:30. | |
got to be better and harder, on the Woolpack and try and take it away | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
from them. If they retain the Wulf Pack, they will be one step closer | :21:34. | :21:35. | |
to the quarterfinals. -- Wulf Pack. In local football tonight's | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
Premiership game between Ballinamallard and Portadown is off | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
because of the weather. The decision to call off | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
the league encounter was made following a lunchtime | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
pitch inspection. Five Premiership games are scheduled | :21:49. | :21:49. | |
for tomorrow including leaders Crusaders hosting Glentoran, | :21:50. | :21:57. | |
and Cliftonville will have a new striker | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
for their match against Glenavon. Today they signed Darren Murray | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
from Portadown on a three-and-a-half He's eligible as the move | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
was completed before the midday This week's County Antrim shield | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
winners Ballymena meet Carrick, while Linfield who lost | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
the final are at home The findings of a recent report | :22:16. | :22:17. | |
by Derry City football club has revealed there is no appetite | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
from fans to return to the Irish | :22:23. | :22:24. | |
League. Derry left the league over 40 years | :22:25. | :22:25. | |
ago before joining the Republic's But as Kieron Tourish reports | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
not everyone is happy. When they return to senior soccer in | :22:29. | :22:41. | |
1985 there was a scramble to secure tickets to see matches here, but | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
more recently after they almost went out of business the board wants to | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
revitalise the club and plan for the future. One legend favours a return | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
to the Irish league. Personally I would love to see it down in | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
Coleraine, matches that means something. There are a lot of games | :23:01. | :23:09. | |
were no fans are coming. They has to be something done about that. Denis | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
Bradley is a lifelong city fan who co-authored a new report on how to | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
move forward and said the club needs to connect with young people, build | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
community links and appoint a general manager to raise finance and | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
profiles. What about returning to the Irish league? Tensions are still | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
around with the old hostilities that exist. Derry city fans are | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
comfortable in the league, even though it is a long journey. They | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
are comfortable coming here. At the moment they say, whatever the | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
future, just for the moment, we will stay where we are. It has been | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
confirmed work on a major upgrade is starting in July. With a new look | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
stadium and playing surface there are new challenges as well. Dennis | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
thinks the situation is so series of the future of clubs north and south | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
of the border is at stake. To do nothing is not an option. In order | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
for clubs to make sure they survive, they must introduce a new generation | :24:11. | :24:11. | |
of fans through the turnstiles. This weekend it's the semi-finals | :24:12. | :24:23. | |
of Gaelic football's Bank Derry take on Cavan, | :24:24. | :24:25. | |
and holders Tyrone will play Fermanagh, who are hoping | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
their meteoric rise in 2015 Promotion and a place in the | :24:29. | :24:41. | |
quarterfinal. 2016 is the year when they hope to continue that | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
improvement. Starting with a place in the cup final. It has shown that | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
in recent times, they had a readily successful season and it was always | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
followed by a dip. We are determined not to let that happen this year. | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
Expectations are higher than last year. We have had expectations for | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
ourselves. We look forward to the challenges ahead. That's next | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
challenge, Tyrone. He has scored more than any team in the contest | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
this season. The manager expects a battle. I know the manner of | :25:14. | :25:27. | |
competitive. -- the team. We like neighbours, we have so many | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
neighbours it is unbelievable in every game we play, it is almost a | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
derby match every time. We have got to get used that. The game will take | :25:34. | :25:36. | |
place here on Sunday. Whatever team, whatever sport you | :25:37. | :25:47. | |
are watching, I think it would be a good idea to wrap up warm, unless it | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
is a game indoors. Now the weather. Wrap up at the moment. It is a very, | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
very cold night. Last night the issue was snow and tonight it is | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
ice. This was the scene last night. When we woke up at dawn it was a | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
winter wonderland for everyone. Overnight, because we have had clear | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
spells to end the day, temperatures are really dropping. Severe weather | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
warnings for ice. We could see some temperatures Imro areas as low as | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
minus seven degrees. -- in rural areas. It could be a problem in the | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
Valley tomorrow morning. Then a race against time. We are waiting for the | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
fog to burn back, but to give us some brightness before the clouds | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
are thickening up and this reign over my shoulder is working its way. | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
If you see some bright spells, make the most of it. Sunshine will be in | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
short supply. Even when it is out for a fewer hours, it will not get | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
much above four, 5 degrees. The rain will fall largely as rain, maybe | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
sleet and slow on the very highest ground. -- sleet and snow. Into | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
Sunday, the extra cloud cover means temperatures will not be as cold. | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
Offering around freezing. A little bit more miles than they will be | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
tonight. At the moment, we have high pressure sitting over Ireland. On | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Sunday it will trap a blanket cloud before this next front arrives. Will | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
be a cold day, a cloudy day, very light wind and mostly drive for most | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
people. Again we are waiting for some that fog to burn back. | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
Temperatures might be topping out at six, 7 degrees. Still quite cold. We | :27:41. | :27:47. | |
have said good buy in Maine to the snow. No more in the forecast for | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
the next few days. -- in the main. Do not put your hot bottle away any | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
time soon. It will be a bit raw. Winter wind and still a bit of bite | :27:59. | :28:06. | |
to it. Have a good weekend. The late summary is at half past ten. From | :28:07. | :28:10. | |
all of us here, take care this weekend. We will see next week. | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
Goodbye. | :28:16. | :28:16. |
