and on BBC One, we now join the BBC's news teams where you are. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Good evening, this is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines this | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
The GP who's in jail after he admitted illegally | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Two primaries are set to make history by becoming the first | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
Michael O'Neill gambles by dropping Kyle Laffterty in Lyon but, | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
with 15 minutes remaining, it's Northern Ireland 1-0 Ukraine. | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
around 20,000 Northern Ireland supporters are here in Lyon but just | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
how much is it costing them to be at the Euros? | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
Also to come on this evening's programme: | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
by soldiers from the South of Ireland at the | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
Goodness, it has been a damp and drizzly day today but getting drier | :00:58. | :01:17. | |
and brighter for tomorrow. First to the football and Northern Ireland | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
are 1-0 up in their second game at the European champions. They need to | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
win this game against Ukraine to keep in contention. There are | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
thunderstorms in France and in the second half, teams were taken off | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
the pitch for a time because of bad weather. Stephen Watson is in Lyon | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
the latest. What a naked as been so far and off the page. Northern | :01:41. | :01:50. | |
Ireland leading by one - zero. Of the pitch we have had dreadful | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
conditions. Thunder and lightning and hail storms. It is more like a | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
night in Belfast! It should be lovely Lyon. Northern Ireland walked | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
out in front of the biggest crowds they have played in front of in a | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
major finals. More than 30 day -- 54,000 word here. What an | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
atmosphere, they were the better side in the first-half. Creating | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
chances from the start. In the 38th minute, the best opportunity fell to | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
Craig Cathcart but his header was agonisingly wide. At the start of | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
the second have, Gareth McAuley scored the goal that all Northern | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Ireland fans hope will be a winner against you claim. -- Ukraine. They | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
will be guaranteed a place in the third place in the group, that will | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
not guarantee them. They will have to draw with Germany next week to | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
make that possible. This is been a brilliant performance by Northern | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
Ireland. What a response to the defeat against Poland. They are | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
beating Ukraine 1-0. Not much left in the game. Nervous times. | :02:59. | :03:08. | |
Thousands of Northern Ireland supporters have travelled over | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
for the game with many of them at the fan zone | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson is there. | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
There are 20,000 fans Northern Ireland year in Lyon and the good | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
news for all the families watching back home is it seems virtually | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
every fan got into the match. If we take a look at the fan zone here in | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
the centre of Lyon game, it is hard to spot a green shirt. Mostly locals | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
or fans supporting other supporters are in there. The reason is the | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
stadium in Lyon hold around 60,000 spectators and it seems the Northern | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
Ireland fans got in. The only problem was paying for the tickets. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
They were around 100 euros each of an expensive trip for the fans but | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
as you can see, some people are able to do it slightly more cheaply. In | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
order to save money, thousands of supporters are camping. Part of the | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
normally tranquil French countryside have been transformed. | :04:02. | :04:20. | |
These five fans are from Palomino. They have for tense between them and | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
they are making themselves at home. It is a two-man tent but you can fit | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
five. It looks cosy in there. There is room for one more! Another more! | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
And much to do tent cost? A total sum of ?10. You are doing that on | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
the cheap. Sweeping on the ground is sleeping on the ground. ?10, ?70, | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
all the same to me. You work out how much the trip is costing you? I have | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
done it all for under ?300, tickets included. Another way to save its a | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
camper van and if you get a big one you can bring the family. Who did | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
you bring with you? This is my dad, my son, my daughter, my husband and | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
my mum. And here they are in their home from home. With the kids safely | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
strapped in the back, we're Northern Ireland go, they go. Katie and | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
George even have their own tickets for the games at a cost of around | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
100 euros each. But grandad says it is worth it just to be together. | :05:32. | :05:40. | |
Debbie has been going to live matches since she was knee height, | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
my other daughter also went. I have never wanted to go to any football | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
games about my family. We are a football family. I was going to cry | :05:49. | :05:57. | |
their! Win or lose, it is a holiday the fans will never forget. And what | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
would really make the holiday for all those fans, all 20,000 of them | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
here in France, is if Northern Ireland can hold onto that 1-0 lead | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
against Ukraine. There are 11 minutes to go, they missed last | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
words, it is looking good. We will have more on the football is in the | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
programme. Now other news. First to that case of a County Down | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
GP who falsified a clinical trial on patients suffering | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
from sleeping disorders. Dr Hugh McGoldrick, | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
who is 59 and from Crossgar, pleaded guilty to two charges | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
involving ten patients. Our South-East reporter Gordon Adair | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
was at today's court hearing. All the offences took place at Dr | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
Hugh McGoldrick was my GP practice in Downpatrick. Ten patients were | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
unlit in the -- unwittingly enrolled in a clinical trial to treat | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
insomnia. Most of them were deemed unsuitable for the trial. It has | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
been insisted he did not do this for financial gain but for the benefit | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
of the patients. He stood to make ?20,000, money he has undertaken to | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
repay. Previously the court had hired Dr Hugh McGoldrick had | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
submitted sleep records on behalf of patients. He said this is because | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
they were elderly and would have been uncomfortable using the | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
dedicated phone system. Today has lawyer accepted he had made up the | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
information on these sleep records. The lawyer said this was the lowest | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
point of the Doctor's life. The doctor apologised to a right range | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
of people, including the patients and the drug companies involved. He | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
will be sentenced on Friday. Next Friday. | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
Two primary schools are to set to make history by becoming | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
the first school in Northern Ireland to be run by | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
A jointly-managed faith school is distinctive from an integrated | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
school, as our education correspondent, | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
Two small schools, one hugely significant step. | :08:00. | :08:08. | |
Desertmartin Primary is a Church of Ireland | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Knocknagin, also in the County Londonderry village, is a | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
They've been sharing classes and trips for a | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
Now staff and governors want them to go one step further, | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
merging to become Northern Ireland's first joint Protestant and | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
Parents are now being consulted about the plans | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
The Council for Catholic maintained schools says they are very | :08:34. | :08:40. | |
As is the body which represents the education | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
interests of the main Protestant churches. | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
I think the churches want to preserve high-quality education and | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
they can see that can be done very well in a faith ethos and on bases | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
where Christian values are being maintained. We have had integrated | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
schools here for a long time. How does a jointly skilled ever? It will | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
be clear this is a Christian faith -based ethos. If you walk into the | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
school, you will know you are in a Christian school. There will be | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
other differences. The governance will be different from an integrated | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
school but there will be a faith -based committee within the school | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
to monitor faith. There will be a religious education provision, that | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
will be looked at closely. That is the key differences, it will be very | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
much the Christian faith that is central to the running of the | :09:35. | :09:35. | |
school. This | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
is a ground-breaking move. Ultimately, the parents and then | :09:39. | :09:39. | |
the education minister will decide | :09:40. | :09:41. | |
if the schools reach their goal. But if they're successful, | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
others are sure to This is BBC Newsline, | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
and still ahead: We are at the races to check out the | :09:46. | :09:59. | |
odds on a UK exit from the European Union. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
The police have apologised to the family of a man | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
who was beaten to death for failing to keep them informed | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Three teenagers have been charged with murdering Christopher Meli | :10:08. | :10:15. | |
in Twinbrook near West Belfast last December. | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
His parents say they found out on social media that one | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
of the accused had bail restrictions changed so that he | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
Lisa McAlister has spoken to the bereaved family. | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
It has been over six months since Christopher Meli was murdered but | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
time has not helped his parents' heartbreak. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
The slightest thing brings it all back. It is the hardest thing I have | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
ever had to go through in my life. Earlier this week, one | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
of the three people accused killing the father-of-one had his | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
bail conditions varied so he could The family were not told and find | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
out via social media. It is disgusting. To have to be told | :10:51. | :11:01. | |
and to find out through the media, through the spit, the Internet. It | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
is wrong. It shouldn't be. hearings like this one | :11:04. | :11:10. | |
Lisburn Magistrates' Court last year. | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
And the new Victims Charter states those bereaved through | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
homicide should have priority and must be kept informed | :11:17. | :11:18. | |
of progress and development in their case. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
I just want to know when it changes, so I know when there are | :11:24. | :11:35. | |
progressions. That is it. Did they get bail? Did they not get better? | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
That is all. Then we know who is still in, who is out, who has been | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
arrested. It gives you that little bit of peace of mind. Information is | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
a key part of the healing process, so without that the process is being | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
delayed. People often talk about not feeling in control, so having | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
up-to-date information and feeling that you are receiving that | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
information before the rest of the public does helps people feel they | :12:05. | :12:05. | |
are part of it. the Meli family and | :12:06. | :12:06. | |
said that the delay in providing information | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
was The investigating officer | :12:11. | :12:11. | |

say their faith and trust A study of suicides among young | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
people in Northern Ireland highlights how student life can be | :12:24. | :12:35. | |
fraught with loneliness and anxiety. It's the first time such research | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
has been carried out among people Our health correspondent, | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Marie-Louise Connolly, A difficult but important read - | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
this report raises the issue A time that is normally | :12:45. | :12:55. | |
associated with good memories, instead it highlights the potential | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
effects of self-harm, The study by the University | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
of Ulster examined 355 suicides 64% of men who died | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
had consumed alcohol, 50% of men and women had | :13:10. | :13:21. | |
attempted suicide before 33% The increase in tuition fees, the | :13:22. | :13:33. | |
fact that people are going away from home for the first time. There were | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
the difficulties of deadlines and the academic demands. I was not able | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
to engage, like my other students, I couldn't focus, I could not | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
concentrate. I felt unable to get up out of bed Sundays. !, days. | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
The findings painted quite a bleak picture. | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
In fact, according to mental-health experts, the competitive academic | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
environment along with life changes such as living away from home, | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
mean that for some student life can be fraught with too few | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
Almost half of people who die by suicide in this age group were never | :14:03. | :14:11. | |
known to have mental-health problems. That was quite a surprise | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
for us and shows there is an awful lot of unmet need and stigma around | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
suicidal thoughts and mental health in this age group. | :14:21. | :14:22. | |
With Northern Ireland's suicide rate the highest in the UK, | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
mental health charities say that funding must match the growing | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
A controversial drilling operation in County Antrim has finished, | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
The oil company Infrastrata said it was | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
disappointed only to have found water at the site at Woodburn Forest | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
It's drilled 2000 metres deep in two separate | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
areas but they'll now be plugged and abandoned. | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
The drill operation was strongly opposed by protesters who claimed it | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
could have an effect on the water supply to nearby reservoirs. | :15:00. | :15:03. | |
The bill for policing the site came to | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
Downpatrick is twinned with eight towns across the continent. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
Going by that, it could be difficult to find a more | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
As we countdown to the EU referendum this day next week, Julian Fowler | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
went to race day in Downpatrick to see how punters would be betting | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
Studying the form on race day at Downpatrick. By now most of the | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
arguments for staying in or leaving the EU have been debated by the | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
politicians and it is nearly time for the voters to place their bets. | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
It may be a two horse race but it still neck and neck to see who will | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
be first past the post. Leave. Why is that? Britain doesn't need those | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
guys telling them what to do. Everyone forgets that Britain is a | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
great country. They need Britain more than Britain needs them. We | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
should definitely stay in. I do not understand the Brexit campaign at | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
all. We are isolated as it is and I can't understand why he would want | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
to separate from the rest of Europe. The NHS is already strapped for | :16:20. | :16:27. | |
cash, were schools as well, our economy is stressed, we cannot | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
afford to have more people. Sadly. I can see numerous practical | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
difficulties if Northern Ireland and Ireland are in different camps. I | :16:38. | :16:46. | |
most emphatically want us to stay. In a race this tight, the bookies | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
are offering short odds on the result. 6-4 on stay, leave the money | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
leave. Following the vote on Thursday, there will have to be a | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
winner and loser. To leave to remain? As we enter the final | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
straight, it will soon be time to decide which forced to back. -- | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
horse to back. The 1st of July will be | :17:13. | :17:14. | |
the centenary of the start of the Battle of the Somme | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
in the First World War. Most of the attention locally | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
will be on the loss of over 2000 men from the 36th | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
Ulster Division in the first few Thousands more soldiers from right | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
across Ireland lost their lives over the course of the battle, | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
making up half of the deaths. Our Dublin correspondent | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
Shane Harrison looks back. The First World War saw killing on | :17:33. | :17:44. | |
an industrial scale. 420,000 casualties alone in the battle of | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
the Somme. The price paid for moving the front line just 4500 miles. -- | :17:49. | :17:59. | |
4.5 miles. Looking at these files from the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. An | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
engined Sergeant is sitting to the right of the nurse with his cap on | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
his lap. He survived the Somme and a scene in our autograph with his son | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
and grandson. He was wounded in the first day of the Battle of the | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
Somme. He was subsequently discharged there. That the ewe the | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
fact that he lost an arm on the first day of the Somme may have made | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
him very lucky. Thomas Kettle, a scholar, Dublin and former | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Nationalist MP was not so lucky. The author of the book published to | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
coincide with the Somme's centenary, says Tom Kettle's life reflects | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
higher Ireland was changing at the time because of the Easter rising. | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
He was in Belgium at the start of the war to raise guns for the Irish | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
volunteers. He sought the trusty carried out by the Germans in | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
Belgium in August 1914 and that persuaded him to join the British | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
Army. He was killed on the night of September 1916 and he said before he | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
died, pathetically, that if he died he would die as a bloody British | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
officer while those who fought and died in the Easter rising would be | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
remember as heroes. Proof of that prophecy is the length of time. 21 | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
years his supporters to get this bust erected in Saint Stephen 's | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Green in the centre of Dublin. I feel he made a huge contribution to | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
Irish history, not just politically but educationally, being the first | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
professor of economic that the National University. He achieved so | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
much for stopping you would have been a huge contributor had he | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
lived. This memorial and gardens are dedicated to almost 50,000 Irish men | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
who died fighting in the First World War, including the Somme. Until | :19:55. | :19:57. | |
relatively recently, they were largely written out of history here | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
but no longer and in the coming weeks, the French President, | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Francois Hollande, is expected to come here to pay his country's | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
tribute to them. For more about the | :20:07. | :20:09. | |

of the Somme and its impact you can check out our dedicated | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
BBC web page. The address is Ireland | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
and the Somme. Let's return to the football | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
in France where Northern Ireland have been playing their second group | :20:24. | :20:25. | |
game against Ukraine. Deep into injury time, Michael | :20:26. | :20:39. | |
O'Neill gambled making no fewer than five changes. | :20:40. | :20:39. | |
Northern Ireland leading Slovakia 1-0. This is the moment Gareth | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
McAuley treating history, the first ever goal for Northern Ireland at | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
the Euros. Just one minute and a half remaining to clinch that | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
historic win. My, how they celebrated! | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
In the 24th minute Northern Ireland supporters broke into applause | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
as a mark of respect for Darren Rodgers, the 24-year-old | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
fan who died following an accidental fall in Nice at the weekend. | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
Fitting it was as well. We have 60 seconds remaining and it is Northern | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Ireland 1-0 Ukraine. Next up for Northern Ireland, | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
it's world champions Germany Lets go live to the fan zone | :21:23. | :21:24. | |
in Belfast's Titanic quarter were BBC Newsline's Kevin Sharkey | :21:25. | :21:29. | |

It is a long way from Lyon to the Titanic border here in Belfast. Two | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
cities but this evening among Northern Ireland fans, one. -- one | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
reaction, euphoria. This is the Titanic Quarter fan zone | :21:52. | :22:05. | |
in Belfast this evening for stock almost over. Not quite. There are | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
thousands of fans. There you have the reaction. | :22:12. | :22:11. | |
CHEERING Well, there you have it. Life on | :22:12. | :22:28. | |
Newsline, the Van's reaction here at the fan zone in the Titanic Quarter | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
in Belfast. -- fans'. Amidst all that that the and mayhem, Northern | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
Ireland have gone 2-0 up, narrowed the game, we are 6.5 minutes into | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
injury time. History made here live on Newsline by Northern Ireland and | :22:46. | :22:46. | |
France at the Euros. Republic of Ireland assistant boss | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Roy Keane held another of those entertaining press conferences today | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
which had the assembled From Bordeaux heres BBC | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
Newsline's Thomas Kane. Thousands of Republic of Ireland | :22:54. | :23:09. | |
supporters have already descended on beautiful Bordeaux, the squad will | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
arrive here tomorrow. Ahead of Saturday's game, assistant manager | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
Roy Keane has started a war of words with their opponents. The Cork man | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
criticising the Belgian star. Don't get me the wrong way, I think he is | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
an outstanding player but if you asked me if I was playing with | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
anybody, and they were constantly talking and it was truly wanted to | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
leave and the pure attitude to training, then I would kick him in | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
training. -- poor attitude. I have done that with most players, even | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
those who didn't want to leave. Is it an advantage for Ireland? More | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
confident after the draw? It is a dangerous game for us. You trying to | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
suggest we are the favourites for the game? I think you have been | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
drinking. LAUGHTER | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
Waist Roy Keane controversial and entertaining as always. The teams | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
will train here at the Stadium tomorrow afternoon. There was a | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
session for the team this afternoon Jonathan Walters sat out and it | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
looks highly unlikely he will play any part on Saturday. Belgium went | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
in as one of the favourites but after their opening-round loss, they | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
cannot afford another defeat. Martin O'Neill will know that a victory | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
would all but secured the Republic of Ireland's place in the opening | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
stages. Victory has been secured, they | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
have one too- zero. No fewer than seven Ulster men will line up for | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
Ireland and South Africa. Paddy Jackson at out half. He continues to | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
impress. The main thing in my mind, I wanted to manage the team and | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
run the game. Obviously Jonny has been doing that so well for a number | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
of years and I felt I had to air the trust and respect of the guys around | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
me. I will be looking to do that again. I will try to manage the | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
game. On day one of golf's US Open, | :25:03. | :25:03. | |
a wave of rainstorms swept across the Oakmont Country club | :25:04. | :25:06. | |
forcing play to be suspended twice. Rory Mcilroy's form | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
has been indifferent, with perhaps the Euros on his mind | :25:11. | :25:12. | |
he had this bogey at the seventh. The world number three then steadied | :25:13. | :25:19. | |
the ship to hole this putt and, with Northern Ireland on the TV | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
playing Ukraine in Lyon, Rory broke into a sprint | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
as he scarperred for Let's hope that I work Rory got to | :25:31. | :25:42. | |
witness history. That is the sport. A win for Northern Ireland today, a | :25:43. | :25:44. | |
win for England. You can imagine Jeff Maskell is a happy | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
weather forecaster. I have been keeping it quiet. Great | :25:47. | :25:55. | |
scenes at the Titanic Quarter. People getting soaked. I do not | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
think they will mind. It has been a grey and dull and miserable day. We | :26:00. | :26:02. | |
haven't had the worst of the weather here by a long shot. The weather | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
over England was warmer and that set off some sharp showers and thunder | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
and lightning as well. The rain in Scotland has been persistent. For us | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
it has been great and damp and drizzly. That rain continuing on and | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
this evening and overnight, we keep the blanket of cloud over us and the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
showers continue off and on. We have that cloud cover, so temperatures | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
tonight will remain on the mild side. Overnight lows staying pretty | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
much in double figures just about everywhere. Tomorrow it is an | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
improving picture. We start off with that little blanket of cloud but it | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
won't take long for these guys do start to clear and bright and that | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
will help the temperatures on the rise. We will see highs tomorrow of | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
16 Celsius. There is still that northerly breeze. That may be enough | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
to take the edge of the feel of the day. Overnight on Friday into | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Saturday, a little more on the way of broken cloud. The temperatures | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
should normally drop away but the nights are so short that it won't | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
had a huge impact. High pressure building in to settle our weather | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
gallop before this mess of fronts stuck to come in and dampen the | :27:14. | :27:16. | |
party for the end of the weekend. What can we say about the weekend? | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
It starts off reasonably dry and brake on Saturday. The wind will | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
ease down for the rain arriving. Saturday is self is looking like | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
quite a decent day. The best of any brightness across the East, half of | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
Northern Ireland through the morning. Temperatures up to 70 | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Celsius before things go downhill just a little. Unsettled by Sunday | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
but the temperatures are going up. And that was Newsline. On the day | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
that Northern Ireland beat Ukraine at the Euro Championships. From art | :27:49. | :27:52. |
