only the money we put in. There seems no disagreement that

:00:00.:00:00.

communities like these need help. Those

:00:00.:00:00.

The Secretary of State has dismissed a claim

:00:00.:00:11.

by the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

:00:12.:00:13.

that Stormont or the Scottish Parliament

:00:14.:00:14.

could veto the outcome of the EU referendum.

:00:15.:00:18.

The Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness,

:00:19.:00:20.

says he's requested an urgent meeting with the Taoiseach

:00:21.:00:22.

Enda Kenny in turn has said he will outline

:00:23.:00:32.

the Republic's concerns about Brexit to his counterparts

:00:33.:00:34.

at the meeting of EU leaders in Brussels this week.

:00:35.:00:36.

Here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon.

:00:37.:00:38.

As soon as Brits it was confirmed earlier on Friday, Sinn Fein called

:00:39.:00:43.

for a board up all, but today they said that was not their main

:00:44.:00:48.

priority. From my perspective, in the immediate future, although you

:00:49.:00:53.

up focused on the border poll, and we think they should be one in the

:00:54.:00:58.

future, the immediate task has to be how the democratically expressed

:00:59.:01:05.

wishes of the people here can be catered for in the context of the

:01:06.:01:08.

huge debate which is going to ensure in the next couple of months. But

:01:09.:01:17.

could be result be the -- be vetoed in the places that voted to remain,

:01:18.:01:24.

Northern Ireland and Scotland? We will be working with both the

:01:25.:01:27.

Scottish government and the Northern Ireland's Executive on all of these

:01:28.:01:30.

matters. Ultimately, it is Parliament was Micro decision

:01:31.:01:35.

whether the repeal the 1972 act or not. There are different questions

:01:36.:01:43.

from the different parties. I don't think the expected to win. Now they

:01:44.:01:47.

are in a situation where they don't have to deliver this. We believe

:01:48.:01:52.

that the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Scottish Parliament have the

:01:53.:01:54.

opportunity to say no. Parliamentarians who would

:01:55.:01:58.

disrespect the views of the clear instructions given to them by the

:01:59.:02:01.

British people will be making a huge mistake. There is no dispute that

:02:02.:02:06.

those of us who are on the Remain side on the referendum in Northern

:02:07.:02:11.

Ireland, but it was a UK referendum. The UK, still has primacy in these

:02:12.:02:15.

matters. The main Unionist leaders who are backed remaining in the UK

:02:16.:02:20.

said we were in an age of uncertainty. In recent years,

:02:21.:02:24.

nationalists have been relaxed about their aspiration for united Ireland

:02:25.:02:32.

have -- and a seen it some thing they want to make every two. They

:02:33.:02:35.

are very angry and we need to listen to those voices. What is clear that

:02:36.:02:39.

not much is clear, and that is unlikely to change any time soon.

:02:40.:02:43.

And on tomorrow's BBC Newsline, in the wake of the referendum,

:02:44.:02:46.

we'll be looking at the implications for people from Northern Ireland

:02:47.:02:49.

The Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary, Vernon Coaker,

:02:50.:02:54.

of Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow cabinet to resign today.

:02:55.:03:00.

It follows Mr Corbyn's decision to sack Hilary Benn.

:03:01.:03:02.

Mr Coaker held the post twice - firstly between 2011 and 2013

:03:03.:03:06.

and was again appointed to the role by Jeremy Corbyn last September.

:03:07.:03:12.

The Republic of Ireland are out of the European Championships -

:03:13.:03:19.

Robbie Brady's penalty in the second minute

:03:20.:03:22.

wasn't enough to hold off the tournament favourites.

:03:23.:03:24.

The European adventure ended for Martin O'Neill's side here in Lyon,

:03:25.:03:35.

despite a rate performance against the French. The quick turnaround

:03:36.:03:38.

following the famous victory over Italy proved to be crucial, as the

:03:39.:03:42.

hosts came from a goal down to make it through to the quarterfinals. It

:03:43.:03:47.

was a dream start for the Republic of Ireland, when Shane Long was

:03:48.:03:51.

fouled in the penalty area, and Robbie Brady made no mistake from

:03:52.:03:57.

the resulting spot kick. The boy chances to extend the lead, but as

:03:58.:04:01.

the game progressed, the French piled on the pressure. The Atletico

:04:02.:04:12.

Madrid staff gave the home side the advantage. Shane Duffy was dismissed

:04:13.:04:18.

soon after as the men pushed for an equaliser, but they were unable to

:04:19.:04:21.

find a second goal. Had we gone another six or seven or

:04:22.:04:29.

eight minutes without conceding a goal, we could have utilised that at

:04:30.:04:34.

the end of the game. I could not be more proud of the team. A fantastic

:04:35.:04:38.

effort. And throughout the ornament. I could not be more proud of the

:04:39.:04:42.

supporters. Disappointed at the minute. A great opportunity today,

:04:43.:04:48.

and we just let it out of our grasp. Disappointed, but very proud man to

:04:49.:04:55.

be able to come here and put on some great performances. What is being

:04:56.:05:01.

said in the dressing room? They are proud of us, and we gave one held of

:05:02.:05:10.

an -- one hell of an effort. At the end of the day, it was not to be

:05:11.:05:21.

today. I'm feeling it now. How much pride really not get the date, not

:05:22.:05:29.

now, but in the weeks to come? Probably, in a couple of weeks, when

:05:30.:05:32.

you look back, you'll realise what an achievement it was. Right now,

:05:33.:05:41.

it's tough. But, as you said, in the weeks to come we will look back and

:05:42.:05:45.

we can be extremely proud of ourselves and what we achieved. The

:05:46.:05:51.

squad will fly home from the team base tomorrow afternoon, following

:05:52.:05:53.

the Republic of Ireland's most successful ever European

:05:54.:05:57.

Championships. With plenty of positives, looking ahead to the

:05:58.:05:59.

World Cup qualifying campaign. Well, our reporter, Ita Dungan,

:06:00.:06:02.

was with the fans in Lyon, where hopes were high

:06:03.:06:04.

going into the match. The last French city on Ireland's

:06:05.:06:15.

Gerrit Woody 16 adventure. It has been a long, tough road, and today,

:06:16.:06:20.

for more than 50 minutes, many Irish fans thought that journey would just

:06:21.:06:26.

keep on going. The party was on, and the queues

:06:27.:06:34.

were very, very long. Inside, there was a definite air of optimism that

:06:35.:06:41.

an Irishman was on the cards. It's definite, 1-0. 1-0, and Robbie Keane

:06:42.:06:47.

off the bench to score. It will be a special day for the Irish. Just 1.5

:06:48.:06:51.

minutes in, it looked like it might be. The penalty, the perfect start.

:06:52.:07:02.

CHEERING Silenced in the second-half, the

:07:03.:07:08.

French now had all the to celebrate. Two French goals, the Irish odyssey

:07:09.:07:13.

was over. Disappointed, yes, but not utterly dejected. The hospitality

:07:14.:07:18.

has been brilliant. They are fantastic fans. Winner! Brilliant,

:07:19.:07:27.

fantastic. Disappointed, but that's how it goes. The French really

:07:28.:07:33.

deserved it. They put up a decent enough fight in the first half. The

:07:34.:07:37.

first off was good, but France could about four or five in the second

:07:38.:07:39.

half. Nothing else they could have done. Time to go home? Yes, it is.

:07:40.:07:50.

Flew in yesterday, to join the main man, and we did our bit. We tried

:07:51.:07:58.

the best. We got this far, and we've had a great time. What do you think

:07:59.:08:03.

of Ireland? CHEERING

:08:04.:08:08.

We are proud of France, and very proud of Ireland because they have

:08:09.:08:17.

had fun. Everyone saw videos of Irish people online. They are

:08:18.:08:26.

welcome. We love you, Irish people. Thank you, Ireland, thank you. But

:08:27.:08:30.

it is time to go home now. The memories of Paris, Bordeaux, Lille

:08:31.:08:35.

and Lyon will live on for a long time to come.

:08:36.:08:37.

Fans here turned out in force to support Martin O'Neill's team

:08:38.:08:40.

and, despite the defeat, have big expectations for the future.

:08:41.:08:42.

A damp day at the fan zone. But these fans did not seem to notice

:08:43.:08:57.

the weather when that early penalty hit the back of the net. Others took

:08:58.:09:02.

refuge in the warm surroundings of pubs and clubs. They will to the

:09:03.:09:10.

team to victory. -- they were welling the team to victory. But it

:09:11.:09:17.

was not their day. They did well. They done us proud. Everyone was

:09:18.:09:24.

going to France at the weekend, they have saved their money! Ireland are

:09:25.:09:29.

still the best. We have got a great tournament from them, that is the

:09:30.:09:33.

furthest they have got. Next time, they will go farther. It is

:09:34.:09:38.

heartbreaking, it really is. We have done well. Proud of them

:09:39.:09:44.

nonetheless. Slightly deflated, but they were amazing. Really enjoyed

:09:45.:09:48.

the whole thing. There is nothing like the Irish fans come they are

:09:49.:09:53.

wonderful. Heartbroken, but the fans have done themselves a lot of

:09:54.:09:59.

credit. It's the furthest we have been ever. Heartbroken, but proud.

:10:00.:10:07.

In the end, a standing ovation for the boys in Green. And all eyes now

:10:08.:10:13.

on Russia 2018. Northern Ireland's footballers

:10:14.:10:17.

will fly home from France tomorrow for an evening civic reception

:10:18.:10:19.

at the fanzone Last night, they were

:10:20.:10:21.

knocked out of Euro 2016 The end of an amazing journey, long

:10:22.:10:37.

after the game that Northern Ireland players were still on the pitch in

:10:38.:10:42.

Paris, banking app fans. It had been a heartbreaking way to exit the

:10:43.:10:47.

tournament, with the cruel own goal. One of your team-mates said to you?

:10:48.:10:51.

-- what have your team-mates said EU? All sorts. It is difficult. I

:10:52.:11:00.

don't need this ever be. I don't want it either. -- the sympathy. I

:11:01.:11:11.

want people to abrasive element for what it was, enjoy it and get home

:11:12.:11:15.

safely. Hopefully one day we'll be back. It remains to be seen whether

:11:16.:11:21.

or not Macauley has made his final Northern Ireland appearance, but one

:11:22.:11:26.

another better things is staying on. -- one other veteran thinks he is

:11:27.:11:34.

staying on. I have a lot to sort out first. I have got to get back and

:11:35.:11:40.

get sorted out. As for the manager, he has boasted a build on for the

:11:41.:11:45.

future. We have shown we can compete on the stage, we're a small group of

:11:46.:11:53.

players. We have shown that we more than held our own, we are a better

:11:54.:12:00.

team. We need to take that forward and go for convocation for Russia.

:12:01.:12:05.

That'll start in September. For now, Northern Ireland have a big

:12:06.:12:09.

homecoming celebration to look forward to.

:12:10.:12:12.

Well, many Northern Ireland fans are on their way home

:12:13.:12:14.

after their team was knocked out of the tournament

:12:15.:12:16.

Mark Simpson has been on their journey in France,

:12:17.:12:19.

and watched the match with them in the fanzone in Paris.

:12:20.:12:28.

Hopes were high before the game. 7000 fans spent hundreds of pounds

:12:29.:12:35.

and travels hundreds of miles just to be here. We will see very soon

:12:36.:12:42.

whether it has been worth it. CHEERING

:12:43.:12:51.

Come on! After the match, it was the Welsh fans who were making the most

:12:52.:12:57.

noise. We are in better team, absolutely distraught. They had

:12:58.:13:02.

nothing. Even Gareth Bale was woeful. The fans were woeful, they

:13:03.:13:10.

only had two songs. In the end, it was not enough. But we'll be back

:13:11.:13:14.

even stronger. We other Green and white army. We have really

:13:15.:13:24.

disappointed. It has been fantastic, I have been at all of the matches.

:13:25.:13:28.

The fans have been wonderful, the French people have been appreciative

:13:29.:13:32.

and welcoming. They lived the dream. Just being here, but Micro hectic

:13:33.:13:42.

and expensive! The passion and the camaraderie. Everyone together, no

:13:43.:13:46.

hassle, if you beers. It has been brilliant. If there that fans in

:13:47.:13:52.

this I would like to see them. They are still singing, the game is over

:13:53.:13:56.

but we are still singing. SINGING. For many fans, it is the

:13:57.:14:00.

end of a very long journey. It has been fantastic. Most Northern

:14:01.:14:19.

Ireland fans have now gone home. Here in France, they won't be

:14:20.:14:20.

forgotten. Now at look at the weather

:14:21.:14:25.

for the week ahead. Good evening. We are at the start of

:14:26.:14:38.

what will be an unsettled week of weather. Rain and showers coming

:14:39.:14:43.

along on most days. With the exposure to the breeze, it will feel

:14:44.:14:49.

quite fresh. It has been a dull and stabbed day-to-day. The breeze picks

:14:50.:14:51.

up to night, and the cloud that the break-up as well. We will end up

:14:52.:14:54.

with clear spells, just the few light showers. Many places turning

:14:55.:15:03.

dry overnight, with lows of around ten or 11 degrees. Bright and

:15:04.:15:06.

breezy, and some showers to content with as well. Not too many of those

:15:07.:15:10.

showers during the morning. That is when we could see some decent stars

:15:11.:15:13.

of sunshine before the show was get going. More in the afternoon. Across

:15:14.:15:17.

much of the country, it is a brighter day tomorrow. Once the rain

:15:18.:15:22.

we have had close to the south-east, a lot of dry and bright weather

:15:23.:15:26.

across England and Wales. Warm sunshine when it comes through as

:15:27.:15:29.

well. Plenty of showers coming in across Scotland. Some of those

:15:30.:15:34.

heavy. Showers across Ireland, especially the northern half. One or

:15:35.:15:38.

two short ones running through the afternoon before the ease wait was

:15:39.:15:42.

the evening again. A breezy day, with the sun coming out later on. If

:15:43.:15:45.

you're exposed to the breeze on the north coast in particular, it could

:15:46.:15:49.

feel fresh. In the sunshine, with some shelter, 60 or 17, not too bad.

:15:50.:15:54.

Through the rest of the week, with high pressure to the south, we have

:15:55.:15:58.

got the westerly continuing to bring weather fronts, one after the other.

:15:59.:16:04.

Areas of low pressure. On Jews day, the first of those comes along which

:16:05.:16:08.

will bring spells of rain. Particular for central and southern

:16:09.:16:11.

areas. This is where you see the heaviest bursts of rain, not

:16:12.:16:15.

reaching the south-east until later in the day. Temperatures starting to

:16:16.:16:19.

creep down a bit as well. That quiz out of the way, then the have yet

:16:20.:16:24.

another one to come in on Wednesday. This one could bring some fairly

:16:25.:16:26.

strong winds across southern parts, maybe Gail stores sell. Again,

:16:27.:16:30.

central and southern areas catchily heaviest worst of rain by the look

:16:31.:16:34.

of things. By Thursday, a picture of Bryce Belsen showers.
