Stephen Watson was there for BBC Newsline.

The Northern Ireland football team has two more stops before it finally

reaches France. Today the squad flew to Austria or a private chilling

camp and then it's off to Slovakia for a final warm up friendly this

Saturday and the following day they go to France and their European

Championship race. The players checked into the airport this

morning before boarding their chartered flight. It is the first

time in 30 years in Northern Ireland team has jetted off to a northern

Ireland finals and the manager and captain are excited about what lies

ahead. I think it's great. Since the players came in, there is an edge to

their training and everything. We had a nice meal together last night

and it is exciting times for all the players but the focus is there as

well. How real it this feel? It's starting to feel a lot more real.

Delighted to make that first step and there is a real excitement about

this one. What is the final message to the thousands of fans as they

wish you and Welsh today? Discontinue to give us fantastic

support. I have given the team a great belief today and to continue

with that. The nerves were set in as well? Is only natural when the stage

were playing on that be have a great belief and we want to go there and

show everybody what we are about and enjoy the challenge. A special green

and white spray of the aircraft completed a colourful spray as the

team made their way and it is now under two weeks until the opening

game. The Republic of Ireland squad have

moved to Cork for a training camp ahead of their first game

in the Euros a fortnight today. The manager Martin O'Neill has fresh

injury concerns over Robbie Keane and Harry Arter who limped out

of training this afternoon. The team play Belarus tomorrow

in their final home friendly Police are treating an attack

on the Republican plot in Milltown Graffiti was daubed on the plot

and the 1916 Irish proclamation Damage was also caused to flower

arrangements and tiles. This is incomprehensible, why this

was done at this stage. Just mindless idiots who have come in and

Borders was a good idea to spray paint video over memorials and I

think it's a sad reflection on those people. There is no time to do that

and I don't think it's a good idea. It's a disgraceful act.

A court has been told that a 17-year-old boy accused

The teenager is charged with breaking into a house

in north Belfast on Friday, two weeks after he was the victim

A defence solicitor told Belfast Magistrates Court

that the accused only went into the house after seeing the men

The PSNI's dog trainers have been celebrating after one of their dogs

picked up an award for the best in the UK.

Our North East reporter Sara Girvin went to the police dog training unit

in Antrim to find out more about what they do.

This is Sam. His police career gave him a second chance at life. He was

in a pound before being rescued and ended up with the PSNI where he is

now a search dog. He flips out drugs, cash and firearms. But does

it take to go from pet to police dog? A police dog needs to be very,

very agile and very confident in himself, willing to please its

owner. Sometimes he needs to be a bit nuts! Then we are able to train

them into what we want to do. One. With all those skills is Mike who

has been named the best police dog the UK. While he and the other dogs

training here have it right to be reckoned with, their day-to-day work

involves much more. Our police dogs are available 24, seven. Most of the

times they would be used for searching for missing persons.

People who maybe have mental health issues, and if we don't get them

soon, they are open to exposure and things like that. We have found

missing persons like that and save their lives. This dog is just 11

months old and in training but by the time the timber comes, he will

be a fully operational police dog. Police dogs and their handlers

continue to serve on the front line on a daily basis. As the training of

new recruits continues, they will be hoping that one day, they can be top

dog. On a day like today a lot of people

would have headed to the seaside. This scene could have been anywhere

on the coast. But in fact this crowd enjoying

the sun and sand were in Belfast. They pitched up with buckets,

spades and deckchairs on the banks of the River Lagan in front

of the SSE Arena. The fake seaside was set up as part

of the Maritime Festival. The weather is next.

It's been a stunning and holiday. There is more dry weather to camp

this week, quite funny at times so it will continue to feel warm inland

there will be a cooling breeze at the coast. Slightly lower

temperatures but plenty of strong sunshine. A small chance of shower

this evening, otherwise it is dry night. Temperatures may drop in

price of the countryside and that will allow some mist and no fog for

a time on Tuesday morning but that will go quickly. If this is your

first day back to school or work, this is where they will hopefully

ease the pain. The cloud taking a little while to clear but it will go

eventually. Different story if you're heading over to the east

coast of England, quite a chilly wind and also heavy, potentially

thundery downpours for a while. Chilly to towards the north-east of

Scotland but one of the south coast of Ireland with temperatures easily

reaching the low 20s. Our highest temperatures tomorrow will be in the

south away from the north coast because of the breeze keeping it

that little bit colour but there is still lots of lovely warm sunshine

everywhere. Tomorrow night it is dry. It will get chilly in the

countryside. Wednesday will be another fine day. In the sunshine

and temperatures again possibly up to 20 degrees. Probably a little bit

fresher and thirsty but still a very nice day with temperatures still

pitching the high teens in a lot of places and cooler towards the north

Coast. A week and it will stay dry into next weekend by the looks of

things. Just a member, keep the suncream handy.

BBC Newsline will be back at 10:15pm.
