Tributes have been paid to the Northern Ireland football | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
supporter who died in an accident in France last night. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Darren Rodgers from Ballymena was in Nice to watch | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
the team play their first game at the Euro finals. | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
Just a few hours later he fell from a height | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson is in Nice for us. | :00:32. | :00:42. | |
The beach is just at the end of the promenade that you can see behind me | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
and obviously, since last night's tragic event, the mood has changed | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
completely. There is a sense of devastation and disbelief that | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
somewhere can look so beautiful, something awful should happen. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
Friends of Darren Rodgers gathered at the place where he died. They | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
left their tributes but in truth, they still couldn't believe he was | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
gone. The young man from Ballymena came to France to follow Northern | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Ireland. In the early hours of this morning, he fell from the promenade | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
in Nice. Darren Rodgers was not just a football fan, he played football | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
and many of his team-mates are also in France. He was enjoying the trip, | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
loving it. We all stuck together and met up as a local team, all local | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
boys. How will you remember him? Everyone knows him, his cheeky rim. | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
-- his cheeky smile. French police are investigating what happened with | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
the help of some officers from the PSNI. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
It does appear that this was an accident. | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
It happened in the early hours of the morning, somewhere around | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
2am, and it would appear that this fan has fallen from the quay wall | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
here on the promenade, down onto what is a rocky and stony | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
beach, probably died from the injuries from that fall. | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
This morning, Word quickly spread about what had happened. It puts | :02:17. | :02:31. | |
things in perspective, it really does, our hearts go out to his | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
family. It is horrendous news for them. We are out here to have the | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
time of our lives and now we have lost one of our own. Sadly, life has | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
been lost. Everyone who knew him is devastated. Struggling to understand | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
how the trip of a lifetime could end in such a tragedy. It is not just | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
Northern Ireland fans who have been paying tribute, Republic of Ireland | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
fans have been paying tribute as well. | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
This is during the Republic's match against Sweden this evening. | :03:06. | :03:12. | |
Fans stood up and sang 'Stand up for the Ulsterman' after 24 minutes. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
It was mark of respect for the fact that he was 24 years of age. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
And Northern Ireland fans will pay their own tribute | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
at their next match, against Ukraine on Thursday. | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
As you heard from Mark, the Republic's team were playing | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
Their opener in tournament ended in a 1-0 draw. | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
Their opener in tournament ended in a 1-1 draw. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
Thomas Kane is at the Stade de France. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
The last few supporters are just leaving the stadium. It was almost | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
the perfect start to the European Championships for the Republic of | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
Ireland. Martin O'Neill's side completely dominated the first half, | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
creating a number of chances. Tapped in John O'Shea going so close to | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
latching onto Kieran Clark's header. After that, Jeff Hendrick | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
threatened, his long-range shot can any of the crossbar. The | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
breakthrough came in style, early in the second half, Seamus Coleman's | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
good work finished brilliantly by Wes Hoolahan to send the supporters | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
into dreamland. Their manager pretty happy on the sideline as well. But | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
it was not to be, Sweden equalised with their superstar striker, Zlatan | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
Ibrahimovic, finding space and heading into his own net. Both sides | :04:41. | :04:49. | |
have to make do with a point at the Stade de France. Next up will be the | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
trip to Bordeaux to take on Belgium before the Republic's final fixture | :04:55. | :04:55. | |
against Italy. Supporters who weren't at the match | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
but made the trip to France - were gathered in the big fan zone | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
in central Paris. Our reporter Ita Dungan | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
is there for us. As you can see, I am here in the | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
shadow of the Eiffel Tower. It couldn't be any more picturesque but | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
that result, 1-1 draw, not the result many Republic of Ireland fans | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
had hoped for. The French have put on a fantastic fan zone experience | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
in the centre of Paris. People from all European nationalities watching | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
the game, drinking beer, playing football, watching football. It has | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
to be said, when the first Republic of Ireland goal went in, this place | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
erupted. Most of the neutrals I think were watching the game, were | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
supporting Martin O'Neill's men. Then their heads went down a little | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
bit when that equaliser went in. For the fans I spoke to after, they | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
said, all is not lost. I am disappointed with the result, or to | :05:57. | :06:02. | |
get off the mark. Sweden were there for the taking. Disappointment but | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
at least it is better than the last euros anyway. We did OK, scored a | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
great goal but it was a sloppy goal to concede. But we drew today, we go | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
out and we get two good results after this. Can you see you beating | :06:19. | :06:25. | |
Belgium? Absolutely, no doubt. Watch this space. Shane Long the leading | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
goal-scorer. Martin O'Neill's men need to step it up a gear in | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Bordeaux and Belgium to make those fans happy. We will be following the | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
team through the tournament. The Northern Ireland players | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
are back in their base north of Lyon, following last night's 1-0 | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
defeat by Poland. Stephen Watson looks back | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
at their disappointing start Northern Ireland's players had never | :06:51. | :06:51. | |
experienced an occasion like this before, but they had | :06:52. | :07:02. | |
full awareness of the They struggled to compete | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
with their Polish opponents But Polish pressure paid off | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
at the start of the second half. They had the chance | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
to secure a draw but captain We will take notice of what we have | :07:15. | :07:29. | |
done, and we are sure to have a more determined | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
game on Thursday. Tough games, and it was very | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
hot out there today, We have worked very hard | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
to get the ball back, and maybe we weren't good enough | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
in possession, to maybe cut them open. | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
We maybe wasted a few opportunities. They have to win their next game | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
in Lyon this Thursday. The police say they believe a man | :07:58. | :08:08. | |
who was found dead in County Armagh this morning may have died | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
as a result of a hit and run. The man's body was found | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
on Shillinghill Road near Markethill The area has been cordoned | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
off by the police. Two women have been arrested | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
following an assault on a 19-year-old woman in | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
Londonderry. The attack was on Saturday night | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
in the Lecky Road area and is being treated | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
as a sectarian hate crime. The police say the victim | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
suffered cuts to her head The women being questioned | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
are aged 19 and 21. The former political talks chairman | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
Richard Haass has claimed a vote by the UK to leave | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
the European Union could trigger violence or political deadlock | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
in Northern Ireland. During a visit to Belfast, | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
the Taoiseach has repeated his concerns about the potential | :08:58. | :08:59. | |
consequences of a Brexit. Here's Our Political | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
Editor Mark Devenport. Richard Haass may have tried to stay | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
neutral when he was chairing interparty talks but on the European | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
referendum, that is not his approach. On Twitter, the former US | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
envoy suggested Brexit could trigger political gridlock, violence or | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
calls for partition. His message did not improve the First Minister on | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
her way home from France. In respect of the frantic could cause violence, | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
I think that is disgraceful for anyone to suggest violence could be | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
a consequence of us leaving the European Union, it is just nonsense. | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
The Taoiseach believes the peace process will continue but thinks the | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
EU support Fred has often been underestimated and forgotten. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Visiting Belfast, he warned in the event of a Brexit, there would be | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
changes on the border. We would certainly try to do what we could to | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
preserve the common travel area but believe me, it is difficult to | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
imagine the situation where there would be no controls or no checks on | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
the movement of goods, if the United Kingdom left the European Union. | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
Enda Kenny meets David Cameron later this week to make a joint pitch for | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
the Remain case, whether you find the Taoiseach or First Minister's | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
cases more persuasive, you only have ten days now to make up your minds. | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
The local weather forecast is next with Barra Best. | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
Hello there, we do have one or two scattered showers this evening | :10:37. | :10:39. | |
The showers though will pep up as we make our way through the night | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
but it won't be too cold, with temperatures typically | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
Tomorrow morning, we will have the scattering of showers still out | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
there, but it will improve slowly through the day. | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
It will begin to brighten up towards the north-east and that | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
brighter weather heading westwards through the afternoon, | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
helping quite a few of us to enjoy some more in the way of sunshine. | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
But it will take a while before sunshine comes out in parts | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
Temperatures tomorrow about 16, maybe 17 degrees, | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
at best in that sunshine, but still a little bit cooler around | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
the coast when you factor in the onshore winds. | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
Into tomorrow evening, not a bad end to the day, | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
quite a few of us will enjoy some sunshine, although we are likely | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
to see a few scattered showers lingering in parts of the west. | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
Into tomorrow night, it will be largely dry, | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
temperatures may be down a little bit into the single | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
As we get into Wednesday, scattered showers will make a return | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
but drier weather will push in by the end of the week. | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
