The Agriculture and Environment Minister has defended her

the DUP's Michelle McIlveen said that even if the UK stays

in the European Union, farming grants may not be sustainable.

She said not all farmers here want to stay in the EU.

There is a mixed message, but to say that all farmers are looking to

remain within the EU is not accurate. Certainly not from

speaking the farmers out and about. There are a fast number feel they

are caught up in bureaucracy and while there is a certain benefit

with regards to the ground, whether or not that is sustainable is also a

concern. So there are risks either way.

A road in County Fermanagh remains closed because of a security alert.

It's after a member of the public found a suspicious object

on the Wattlebridge Road in Newtownbutler.

Northern Ireland foootball manager Michael O'Neill today

confirmed his squad for next month's Euro 2016 tournament.

He announced the 23 players in front of an audience of 500

The Northern Ireland manager, Michael O'Neill, said he only had a

couple of tough decisions as he finalised his European Championship

squad. The inclusion of the Wigan striker at the expense of another

was the one he agonised over the most. The 23 Northern Ireland

players were revealed in impressive style as images were projected onto

the famous giant 's Causeway. After that, their qualifying group and the

manager thinks his team can spring a surprise or two in France. Stephen

Davis. There's obviously speculation and we had to disappoint some

players this week and let them know they weren't going to be part of it.

It was a relief to get that out of the way, it is never nice to do

that. I set that to the players, we will have to hit new levels again,

it is a challenge, but I think we are capable. Confidence is high,

meant is behind us and we performed well last night. We will have a

very, very difficult group, but we go there with our expectation and we

will be doing everything to make sure we make it memorable. In

Northern Ireland's first game is in just over a fortnight against Poland

in France. A Lurgan primary school has

introduced a "daily mile" into its school day,

getting its pupils to walk It's aimed at improving pupils

fitness. And as our Education Correspondent

Robbie Meredith found out, At this school in Lurgan, the phrase

school run has taken on an entirely new meaning. It has become one of

the first in Northern Ireland to get its children to walk or run a mile

every day. And the teachers joining, too. Lots of children take part in

competitive sport and the thing about this is, it is all inclusive.

Every child can participate. It is non-competitive. They cannot run the

mile or lots of children are building up to it and walking a bit

and jogging a bit. It takes around 15 minutes and takes place as well

as normal physical education lessons and it gets him tick tick from

pupils. I feel it is fun, so I do. And it's easy to do for a primary

child. My mum things is a good idea. It's a beautiful day, but even when

it is raining all of the school's 700 pupils come out and run and it

helps the get figure. The printable says he's noticed the benefit in the

classroom as well. It does reflect on their work in the day and we have

seen a big improvement in the childrens' behaviour and discipline

are generally in class and around school. It's good for us, for our

class. We do it after lunch and there we go back in and get started

bike into our work after getting fresh air and doing a mile. The idea

began in Scotland and has spread to hundreds of schools there. Only a

feud here have adopted it, but pupils here said they are going to

keep on running. Now onto the weather forecast

for the rest of the weekend, Here's Angie Philips

with all the details. Hello there. For specifying and to

the day, for those not quite. It's quite wet in some places and those

downpours will continue this evening, particularly across the

Western counties and we have a weather warning in place. A rain

warning, there could be localised flooding and hail and thunder as

well. They will ease off throughout the night, it will turn dry with

clear spells. Mist and low cloud forming a temperature settled,

between 7-10d. That takes us into tomorrow, for many, a good day. Dry

weather, if you show us around though, we will see a few may be

developing as the morning wears on. The low cloud lifting, bright spot

was coming through and those shower starts to break out. A lots of

bright weather to begin with, except perhaps the North Sea coast which

could remain quite grey and cloudy with some mist in this, and feeling

cool. Not bad in the south-east, 20-21d, but as the breeze picks up,

it will take the edge of those values. Through the afternoon, the

afternoon, the showers developing in central England, Wales, Cross

Ireland into the North West of Scotland. Some could locally be

quite heavy, turning into prolonged downpours. That is more likely to be

the case across the Southern counties tomorrow, again, the risk

of thunder, but not quite as many showers are today, temperatures

getting up to 90 degrees. Bank Holiday Monday, well, no showers in

the day, a dry day with highs of 19 degrees inland. It is cloudy and

breezy through the middle part of next week, maybe rainy on Wednesday.
