of Michael McGibbon in North Belfast on Friday night.

:00:10.:00:12.

The father of four died after being shot in the legs

:00:13.:00:14.

The police have said his killing bore all the hallmarks

:00:15.:00:19.

A local priest says people in the area are upset

:00:20.:00:24.

There's a sense, first of all, of shock, but also a sense of anger

:00:25.:00:40.

that this would happen right in the heart of the parish. It is not just

:00:41.:00:46.

now, because when the headlines disappear and we disappear, to a

:00:47.:00:49.

certain extent, they will be left with the pain for the rest of their

:00:50.:00:51.

lives. A family robbed at gunpoint

:00:52.:00:51.

at their home in West Belfast say Three women were in the house

:00:52.:00:54.

at Glenfearna Gardens in Lagmore when men forced their way

:00:55.:00:58.

in demanding money. They tied up one woman before

:00:59.:01:01.

stealing her 81-year-old Claire Graham has been

:01:02.:01:03.

speaking to the family. A mother, a daughter and a night

:01:04.:01:07.

they will never forget. They were having an early night when

:01:08.:01:19.

the men came into the house and at the stairs. The next thing you know,

:01:20.:01:25.

they come in. I could see two masked gunman, well, I didn't know they had

:01:26.:01:29.

guns at this point, I reaction was to jump onto the window and fling

:01:30.:01:35.

the window open and shouted help. He got me down and pulled out the gun

:01:36.:01:38.

and held it to my head. I couldn't believe it. At this point I was

:01:39.:01:43.

shouting, what do you want, what are you here for? And then that is when

:01:44.:01:51.

my mummy came in. There was a guy standing over near Saoirse 's room,

:01:52.:01:56.

and he was pointing a room. I said, look, will you come to me and leave

:01:57.:02:00.

my daughter alone? I thought they were into attack her, rape her or

:02:01.:02:05.

something. He came over, stuck the gun in my neck, went behind me, put

:02:06.:02:09.

my hands behind my back and tied me up tightly.

:02:10.:02:11.

Josephine was tied up on the floor when her 81-year-old mother

:02:12.:02:14.

was in bed and her daughter being held at gunpoint

:02:15.:02:16.

The robbers then made their way into the attic, where they stole

:02:17.:02:20.

I just think, how dare they, who do they think they are? To have the

:02:21.:02:30.

right to walk into any one 's home and do what they done?

:02:31.:02:32.

Police say what happened inside this home was a despicable act against

:02:33.:02:34.

The police are no longer treating the death of a 36-year-old woman

:02:35.:02:43.

in Claudy as suspicious following a postmortem examination.

:02:44.:02:46.

Her body was found at a house on the Glenshane Road in the early

:02:47.:02:50.

A man who was arrested in connection with her death has now been

:02:51.:02:54.

A service has been held in St Anne's Cathedral in Belfast

:02:55.:02:59.

to remember those killed and injured in the Blitz 75 years ago.

:03:00.:03:03.

Some of those who survived were there, as well as those who had

:03:04.:03:06.

Each of these candles represents a life lost in the Belfast Blitz. The

:03:07.:03:26.

15th of April 1941, 200 Luftwaffe planes bombed the city in the worst

:03:27.:03:31.

wartime raid in the UK outside of London.

:03:32.:03:37.

Hundreds of people, including survivors, gathered at Saint

:03:38.:03:42.

Cathedral to remember those who were killed. When you pulled out of bed,

:03:43.:03:47.

you do not have time to put your shoes on, you go up the road

:03:48.:03:50.

you do not have time to put your bare feet, it is total

:03:51.:03:52.

you do not have time to put your creaking your toes against the

:03:53.:03:59.

ground. The place was lit up like their real and, because they work

:04:00.:04:07.

dropping flares. You could distinguish between the British and

:04:08.:04:10.

German planes. They had a different sound. The sounds were terrible to

:04:11.:04:16.

hear, that was the worst part. Some survivors brought --

:04:17.:04:20.

hear, that was the worst part. Some from the time. That

:04:21.:04:22.

hear, that was the worst part. Some before, we are in the shelter.

:04:23.:04:26.

hear, that was the worst part. Some led up to the street. We went to

:04:27.:04:31.

hear, that was the worst part. Some country because our house, the bomb

:04:32.:04:32.

had knocked in the working kitchen and the windows and all were

:04:33.:04:41.

smashed, we had nowhere to stay. These two fire engines travelled

:04:42.:04:44.

from the Republic to help deal with the blaze in Belfast. Today, 75

:04:45.:04:49.

years on, they have made the same journey again.

:04:50.:04:50.

A look ahead now to the latest in our constituency profiles

:04:51.:04:53.

and this week our south west reporter Julian Fowler goes

:04:54.:04:55.

on the election trail in Fermanagh and South Tyrone.

:04:56.:05:03.

This is about as far away as you can get from the corridors of power at

:05:04.:05:10.

Stormont. You can see all the way across the Loc. The elections here

:05:11.:05:15.

are often as dramatic as the view, and with a history of close results,

:05:16.:05:20.

Fermanagh and South Tyrone is said to be under the cliffhanger. --

:05:21.:05:24.

another cliffhanger. You can see that report -

:05:25.:05:25.

part of our continuing coverage in the run up to the Assembly

:05:26.:05:28.

election - this week Well, it was lovely

:05:29.:05:31.

to see the sunshine. Good evening. But self clouds are

:05:32.:05:41.

made, meaning a milder night. Quite breezy and places. Drizzle, not

:05:42.:05:48.

amounting to much. No frost on the car windscreens tomorrow morning. As

:05:49.:05:53.

far as the week ahead goes, milder generally, it should feel more

:05:54.:05:56.

springlike, lots of dry weather due to high pressure but cloud will vary

:05:57.:06:01.

from day to day. Tomorrow, for instance, starting off pretty cloudy

:06:02.:06:07.

and breezy. Thicker cloud will mean dampness here and there but a very,

:06:08.:06:09.

very small amount of rain. We should improve as the day goes on

:06:10.:06:14.

because the sunny skies over Scotland will edge south into

:06:15.:06:18.

northern England and parts of Northern Ireland. Staying cloudy

:06:19.:06:21.

across southern Britain and the Republic, with one or two spots of

:06:22.:06:24.

rain. And improving date tomorrow with

:06:25.:06:29.

brightness and sunshine coming through the afternoon, especially in

:06:30.:06:32.

the north. Most places ending up try, 12 degrees average for this

:06:33.:06:38.

time of year. High pressure dominates the weather

:06:39.:06:42.

for most of the week, but by the end of the week we have low pressure

:06:43.:06:47.

moving from the south and cold air coming back down from the north. It

:06:48.:06:51.

looks as though, although most of this week will be milder and more

:06:52.:06:55.

springlike, by the end of the bigot could get quite chilly.

:06:56.:06:58.

Light winds and sunshine at times on Tuesday, most places dry with

:06:59.:07:03.

temperatures close to bridge. Another pretty decent data, and

:07:04.:07:05.

Wednesday. Winds gradually moving into the

:07:06.:07:09.

Northeast on Thursday, expecting a drop in by Friday.

:07:10.:07:12.
