The headlines on BBC Newsline: A new national minimum wage means | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
a pay rise for nearly 100,000 workers here but is it | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
We may need to shorten the working then lose staff. | :00:27. | :00:39. | |
We hear from the boy caught up in the CS spray incident | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
at an Orange Order march while an officer on duty | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
at the parade is forced to leave his home. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
A Dungannon woman jailed for drug smuggling in Peru | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
Also in the programme: Dopey Dick, the whale who made headlines | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
when he visited the River Foyle in the 1970s, is found | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Ulster face league leaders Connacht in the Pro12 and only a win will do. | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
And the weather this weekend is all about the movement | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
I'll be tracking its progress with a full forecast | :01:11. | :01:13. | |
Tens of thousands of low-paid workers in Northern Ireland | :01:14. | :01:25. | |
could see a bit more in their pay packets from today | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
with the introduction of a national living wage. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
It's a move that was announced in last year's budget. | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
The new ?7.20 an hour rate is for workers aged 25 | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
and above and represents a 50p uplift on the minimum wage. | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
Economists suggest it could boost the salaries of at least 95,000 full | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
Its impact will be felt most in the hospitality, | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
Our business correspondent, Julian O'Neill, has more. | :02:00. | :02:11. | |
The pace Weidner will be felt in this small bakery and in many other | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
businesses. Good news on the shop floor but there is concern and this | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
company is not alone in wondering how it will afford what is a | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
compulsory rise. We may have to shorten the working day and we may | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
need to lose staff. But it's very difficult. Where did we get extra | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
money from? Catherine is a cleaner and one of tens of thousands of | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
workers who will benefit from a rising wages. She has two jobs and | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
says this increase does not make up for years of poor pay. You are | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
already playing catch up anyway so it will not make a big impact and | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
anybody working 30 hours and getting ?15 a week, what does that get you? | :03:06. | :03:15. | |
Not much. The local hospitality sector will see the greatest impact, | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
one in three employees in this part of the labour force will move to the | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
new rate. This Belfast hotel is part of a larger operation with 600 staff | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
on its payroll. Costs are going up so it is only | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
further our staff are rewarded appropriately but it does have an | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
impact on our business. The financial impact on our sister in | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
hundred thousand pounds a year the union organised event demanding an | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
even higher hourly raise was barely noticeable. Pay levels here are | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
among the lowest in the UK and today will not alter that. Even with this | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
boost to so many wage packets. Our economics and business editor, | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
John Campbell, is with me. Julian was telling us | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
about hospitality. Let's consider the care sector | :04:08. | :04:08. | |
and the impact on it. Low pay is pervasive and the care | :04:09. | :04:22. | |
sector. Almost all workers who look after elderly people are on the | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
minimum wage so this policy will have a big effect on that sector. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
There are lots of different providers. But there is only one | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
customer, which is the state, the Department of Health. What providers | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
have been saying is, we will need more money from Hugh said that we | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
can pay our workers more. The residential homes are getting a 5% | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
uplift in what they're being paid and that should just about cover the | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
impact of this policy. However, there will be issues in terms of | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
domiciliary care, looking after people in their own homes, and a | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
representative in the industry told me about the issues. I have only had | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
one indication that they are the annual tariff by 5%. There is a need | :05:06. | :05:14. | |
to increase the reach by 7.5% to make the national living wage so | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
there will be a major shortfall. At the minute, I can see that services | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
will have to review the services, whether they are sustainable. Only | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
one health trust has decided what they would do in terms of the amount | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
they paid for this domiciliary care so the other trusts may have a more | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
generous settlement, the executive may decide they need to put more | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
money into the sector, but this is one area to watch. You could have | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
problems developing quickly in terms of the National boy living wage. | :05:48. | :05:49. | |
What's the potential overall impact on jobs? | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
When this policy was first announced, DOB said it could cost | :05:54. | :06:03. | |
60,000 jobs by 2020, either jobs not created or jobs lost. The PWC have | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
crunched the numbers and say could cost between 2000 and 4000 jobs say | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
by 2020. That's something to keep a close on. | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
More money in people's pockets - how does that affect living | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
It is good news for people who do the hardest work for the least | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
rewards but we need to look at the whole gamut of government policy | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
because although wages are going up, the people who are getting in work | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
benefits, it will become universal credits, that will get less generous | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
over the coming years. Some people may gain in wages but will lose more | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
in terms of those in work benefits so people could actually end up | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
feeling worse off over the next four or five years. | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
You're watching BBC Newsline and still to come on the programme: | :06:52. | :06:53. | |
Dopey Dick, the whale who made headlines when he visited | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
the River Foyle in the 1970s, and he's still entertaining | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
A senior police officer has said those who put the details | :06:59. | :07:08. | |
of a serving officer on social media were reckless and dangerous | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
The officer was on duty on the Ormeau Road in South Belfast | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
on Easter Tuesday when CS spray was used at a junior Orange parade. | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
Today, a 12-year-old boy affected by the spray described | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
Sitting beside his dad, this is the child who says he was told he was | :07:27. | :07:40. | |
lucky not to have lost his eyesight after an incident involving the use | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
of CS spray. He was appearing at a news conference organised by the | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Progressive Unionist party. He was with his grandad taking part in the | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
junior Orange parade. Scuffles broke out during the return leg of the | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
parade, involving bandsmen and police officers. That is when CS | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
spray was used. I felt in my face and eyes, it started stinging and | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
burning. It hurt me. We rang the hospital and they told me to go to | :08:11. | :08:17. | |
the doctor. They said I was lucky I did not lose my site. The PS and I | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
say this stage they did not accept the offers made a mistake. We regret | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
that young people have been caught up with the effect of CS spray. That | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
would never have been our intention. But officers believed they needed to | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
defend themselves, CS spray was used, and it is now for the police | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
ombudsman to determine whether the use of that spray was appropriate. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
The 12-year-old's dad would like to continue with the band despite what | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
happened. I am concerned. It has never happened before. I'm in the | :08:54. | :09:00. | |
band 23 years. I wouldn't want it to happen again, no matter where they | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
come from. As for the police man, he has had to move house after his | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
photograph, name and address appeared on social media. I have | :09:11. | :09:20. | |
been calling people to take action. Putting police officers's personal | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
details on social media is irresponsible in the extreme. It's | :09:24. | :09:29. | |
unforgivable. On the day, 47 recruits graduated, the police say | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
their job is to protect everyone entry everyone the same. Not | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
everyone agrees. A Dungannon woman serving time | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
in a Peruvian jail for drug smuggling has been | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
released on parole. Michaela McCollum was arrested | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
with another woman at Lima Airport A court will now determine | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
when she will be eligible to return Michaela McCollum was arrested | :09:47. | :10:09. | |
trying to leave the room with cocaine worth ?1.5 million. With | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
her, Melissa Reid from Glasgow. They both initially said they had been | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
coerced but later pleaded guilty to drug smuggling. In December 2013, | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
they were jailed for six years and a month is that yesterday evening, two | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
years into the sentence, Michaela McCollum was released from prison. | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
It followed a successful application for parole. Her solicitor previously | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
described conditions in the Peruvian jail is horrendous. Attempts will be | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
made to transfer her to a prison in Northern Ireland. This will no | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
longer be necessary. Her incarceration is now over but it | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
will still be up to a Peruvian court to decide the conditions of her | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
release, including when she can return home. | :10:58. | :10:59. | |
The Sports Minister has written to staff at Sport NI, | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
assuring them their complaints about bullying and discrimination | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
It's believed more than 30 members of staff have complained | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
As BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports, it's the latest in a series | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
of problems to hit the organisation which is the leading public body | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
What is going on inside Sport NI which-macro to try to find out, the | :11:20. | :11:35. | |
Sports Minister said in a team of officials to try to talk to staff. | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
80% agreed to talk. What they had to say was sent back to the Minister. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
Today she admitted the findings were shocking. A third of staff have | :11:46. | :11:53. | |
alleged bullying, discrimination, harassment and they have felt | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
humiliated. That is damning on anyone's doorstep. What I have done | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
is I have appointed a new interim chair and vice-chair. I have asked | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
the head of the civil service to bring in additional civil servants | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
to give support to board members on the board. The board keeps changing. | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Nine members resigned last summer. More than half of the board. At the | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
time, the chair and vice-chair decided to stay. Now they have | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
stepped down. In a statement, Brian Henning said he had given Sport NI | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
total commitment, integrity and passion. He was not available for | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
interview today. As well as changes in the board, the chief executive | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
was suspended last year in spite of her insistence she had done nothing | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
wrong. It's still not known when her situation will be resolved. For the | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
staff at Sport NI, these are uncertain times. Yesterday the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
minister wrote to them. This is a copy of the internal letter. In it | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
she insisted all the problems within the organisation are being | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
addressed. She also pledged to meet and talk to staff. That meeting is | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
expected to take pay cuts on Monday. Action is taken but the problems run | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
deeper and they won't be solved overnight. | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
Still to come on the programme: Motorcycle legend Giacomo Agostini | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
gets the chance to watch some rare footage of his victory | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
at the Ulster Grand Prix almost 50 years ago. | :13:30. | :13:43. | |
A former DUP councillor who fraudulently claimed almost | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
?9,000 for heating oil from the Assembly has been given | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
Bill Irwin from Newbuildings outside Londonderry admitted more | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
Our North West reporter, Keiron Tourish, was in the court. | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
55-year-old Bill Irwin admitted 23 charges of making a full Saqlain to | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
the Assembly for heating of expenditure between March 2009 and | :14:13. | :14:18. | |
February 20 14. The fraud involved having heating or delivered to his | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
home but it was invoiced by the DUP constituency office. A prosecution | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
lawyer said it was paid for out of the public purse to the Assembly. | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
The total involved was ?8,939. The fraud came to light after BBC | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
Spotlight made Freedom of information requests about expenses | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
and heating costs. Former DUP MLA and assembly Speaker became | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
suspicious about oil claims and contacted the Assembly. He informed | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
the PSN is who launched an investigation. A defence barrister | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
said Bill Irwin took the heating oil because he believed he was owed | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
expenses from the DUP for working from home and travelling. He | :15:04. | :15:10. | |
accepted that his actions were wholly wrong and in complete | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
contrast to his previous good character. The judge said he was | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
guilty of a gross breach of trust and sentencing to six months in jail | :15:19. | :15:20. | |
suspended for years. If you're of a certain age, | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
you may remember this killer whale that took up residence in | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
the River Foyle for a week in 1977. You can imagine Dopey Dick, | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
as he was named, attracted Well, believe it or not, | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
he's alive and well and scientists BBC Scotland's environment | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
correspondent, David Scotland's West Coast. These waters | :15:38. | :15:52. | |
off into an extraordinary population of killer whales known as the West | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
Coast community. They are bigger than the killer whales and they are | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
something of a mystery. For anyone who wants to discover more about | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
Scotland's unique population of killer whales, the best place to | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
start is right here on the Isle of war. The killer whales which make up | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
the West Coast community can be individually identified. Their | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
dorsal fins of the giveaway. Floppy and is the most distinctive and | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
lives up to his name. Then there is Moneypenny with the tallest dorsal | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
fin of all the females and John Coe with an obvious Nick and his fin. | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
The River Commissioners set up to date to direct Dopey Dick to the | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
sea. That explains how scientists have managed to identify this animal | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
which achieved celebrity status in Northern Ireland in 1977. This is | :16:53. | :16:59. | |
Comet, node to you as Comet as Dopey Dick. That is the nickname given at | :17:00. | :17:09. | |
the time. There are photographs and footage taken which have allowed us | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
to match the pictures of this individual who is well known from | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
the catalogue. You can tell he was an adult male back then. He is still | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
going so we reckon he's at least 50 years old. These animals may be | :17:27. | :17:34. | |
unique but they are also in trouble. Only eight remain. No one knows for | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
sure what they have stopped breeding. Pollution may be a factor. | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
The killer whales of the West Coast are facing the threat of extinction | :17:42. | :17:43. | |
in our lifetime. I wonder why you got the name of | :17:44. | :17:53. | |
Dopey Dick? Sport and Ulster's rugby players | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
are facing a very important match Thomas Niblock is here | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
and the opponents are Connacht! Really big game. They don't come | :18:01. | :18:14. | |
much bigger. November 1960, John F. Kennedy was elected as US President. | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
November 1960 - John Kennedy was elected as US President, | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
Diego Maradonna was born and it was the last time Connacht | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
But the class of 2016 is a different Connacht side. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
They're top of the Pro12 and confident of success. | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
It's a massive game for both sides and Gavin Andrews is at | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Conditions could well be a factor as Ulster aim to keep their play-off | :18:32. | :18:42. | |
hopes alive. Alongside me, Tony. Not exactly an eye for free-flowing | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
rugby. It's pretty atrocious, it's raining heavily but the pitch looks | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
in good condition. Some big players back for Ulster tonight. It's | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
massive. Rory Best will hopefully lead from the front. The conditions. | :19:00. | :19:08. | |
A lot of injuries and a young player for Connor. We have lost big | :19:09. | :19:18. | |
players. If you back up, we have questions to be asked of Connacht. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
Plenty of experience. A long time since they had been up here, the | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
last time they won was the 1960s. Hasta favours? I would. Connacht | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
Denton to do all that well here. Positivity is needed not negativity. | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
Thanks for your time. Kick-off here is 7:35pm and live coverage is on | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
BBC Two from 7:30pm. It's Irish Cup semifinal weekend | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
with Crusaders taking on Glenavon The North Belfast side | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
are still on for the league and cup double and we have live radio | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
commentary on BBC Radio Tomorrow's second semifinal sees | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Linfield take on this year's giant But the Minnows have a fundamental | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
problem going into the biggest game in their club history - | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
they don't have a goalkeeper! They have been this year's surprise | :20:12. | :20:27. | |
package and Irish Cup. But Lurgan Celtic headed towards a semifinal | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
without a recognised goalkeeper. The club had rearranged league game this | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
week to free up the suspended first choice. After being given permission | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
to play him, that was then withdrawn. Also the back-up keeper | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
has a broken wrist so that left us in difficulties. We are aggrieved. | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
But we're still looking forward to the Irish Cup. We are still | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
positive, we still go there, we do not want to feel sorry for | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
ourselves. Less than 24 hours before kick-off, the manager is still | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
reviewing his options. Tactically, he also has little choice. There's | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
no point in time to keep the scoreline. The boys are not in a | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
frame of mind. Let's have a go and see what they are made of. We're | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
proud of what we have achieved so far are getting past the | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
quarterfinals and into the semis. Whatever comes our way, they will | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
just have to take it. If Lurgan Celtic without a recognised | :21:39. | :21:42. | |
goalkeeper can't beat Linfield, that really would be a cup fairy tale. | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
PJ O'Mullan has decided to step down from his post | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
The former Loughgiel coach managed Antrim for just five competitive | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
games in the National League - a disappointing campaign | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
in which they failed to gain promotion back up to Division 1. | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
A big weekend ahead also in Gaelic Football. | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
In tomorrow's Hogan Cup Final, St Patrick's Maghera from Derry | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
will take on St Brendan's Killarney from Kerry at Croke Park | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
while Sunday will see the final round of matches | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
in Gaelic Football's Allianz National League with plenty | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
still to be decided across all four divisions. | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
In Division 1, Donegal will look to secure a semifinal place | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
but they face a Monaghan side currently battling to avoid | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
relegation from the top tier while in Division 2, | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
a similar fate could await Armagh, who face Derry, or perhaps | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
There's plenty of permutations and full live coverage | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
on BBC Radio Ulster on Sunday from 1:30pm. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Now, back in the 1960s and 70s, he was one of the world's most | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
Italian Giacamo Agostini created quite a stir when he came to compete | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
He won the World Championship an incredible 15 times. | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
Recently, Agostini was back in Northern Ireland, | :22:54. | :22:54. | |
and we gave him on a trip down memory lane. | :22:55. | :23:06. | |
With the famous motorsport commentator ringing in his ears, | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
Giacomo Agostini relived his Ulster Grand Prix victory for the first | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
time in almost 50 years. You have just been watching some of the | :23:20. | :23:26. | |
footage from 1968. What are your memories from back then? Fantastic. | :23:27. | :23:36. | |
It's very dangerous track but when you win, it's different than the | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
other one because when you win here, it's because everything is perfect, | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
the bike, the writers. It is a long circuit. Our super Stardust bought | :23:51. | :24:00. | |
back then, he says he lost the passion for bikes in Northern | :24:01. | :24:12. | |
Ireland. Many years I don't come to Ireland, so there are a lot of | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
people who love motorcycling. I remember there were many fans, many | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
people who love motorcycling. I also always had a good time here. As he | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
did on this occasion with a DVD of his archive to take home from BBC | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
newsline. Some fabulous old archive | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
there of Giacamo Agostini Probably fair to say | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
he's a bit of a legend. Good evening. What a difference 24 | :24:38. | :25:02. | |
hours makes. Yesterday I was a year younger and today, Rodney Harris was | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
out taking beautiful pictures of the sunset and banker. Elsewhere, | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
horrible! That rain coming down and it has all been driven by an area of | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
low pressure sitting out in the Atlantic and this front has been | :25:21. | :25:22. | |
sacked over is pretty much throughout the daylight hours. It | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
syncs away this evening but it is only saying farewell not goodbye. It | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
will be back. Let's look at some of the detail. That rain moves at south | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
and east but it does not go far. Behind it, colder air and that will | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
help temperatures get down to two or three degrees. That rain has not | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
moved of too far. Overnight, it sits out over the Irish Sea, ready to | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
make a return tomorrow morning. We start the day on a reasonably dry | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
note. It will not take long for that rain to return and take the day down | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
hill. The chance of mist and fog to begin the day but the skies will | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
cloud over and done that rain moves in, pushing north and west as we go | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
through the day. Temperatures will feel chilly too so single figures. | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Eight or 9 degrees and the rainbow moving to take the edge of the day. | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
It goes downhill as we had to Saturday. Very little chance of | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
seeing a beautiful sunset like this. The good news is that through the | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
day on Sunday, things will start to improve. A few remnants of that | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
front around so showers to begin. They push off to the north and | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
finally, we are into some of that warmer air. Tom temperatures on | :26:46. | :26:48. | |
Sunday of 11 or 12 degrees and decent spells of dry and bright | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
weather. That improving picture is one that continues as we head into | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
the start of next week as well. It gets warmer. It stays reasonably | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
cloudy. All I want for my birthday is in Ulster win tonight. Fingers | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
crossed for that. We haven't had one in Belfast since 1960. Happy | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
birthday! You can also keep in contact with us | :27:15. | :27:15. | |
via Facebook and Twitter. Grabbing a lot of attention are | :27:16. | :27:31. | |
