A former world champion at underage level. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
This summer, Belfast athlete Patrick Huston will take his place | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Shame there's no summer weather to go with it. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
A cool breeze and heavy showers on the cards. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
A new investigation is to be launched into the controversial | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
killing of an IRA member by the RUC in Downpatrick 25 years ago. | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
An eyewitness has come forward and supported claims by the family | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
of Colum Marks that he was shot after being arrested. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports. | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
RUC officers were in weight when an irony were ordered to carry out an | :01:44. | :01:54. | |
attack in April 19 91. One of the IRA members Colum Marks was shot | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
dead. The police officer who fired the shot said he believed Colum | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Marks was armed and had refused to stop when an attempt was made to | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
arrest him. No gun was ever found. His family claimed Colum Marks was | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
shot after being arrested. The RUC insisted that was not the case. | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
Lawyers for the family have been taking legal action in a bid to | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
force the police to investigate the circumstances of the killing. They | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
have said they couldn't do so because the RUC had already | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
investigated the shooting. That all changed when an eye witness came | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
forward two months ago. The eyewitness has said that during the | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
shooting, he saw a man believed to be Colum Marks walking along the | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
street under police guard. He said it was clear the man was under | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
arrest and three RUC officers were with him. That contradicts police | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
claims that Colum Marks be to arrest and was shot because it was feared | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
he posed a threat. Lawyers for the Marx family haven't disclosed any | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
information to the police. There legal action was finished today now | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
that it's been decided that any investigation will be launched. The | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
decision was welcomed by a lawyer well -- representing the family. | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
This information disputes the previous statements are the RUC. It | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
was a shoot to kill operation. And assessment of the case will may be | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
carried out to establish when the investigation can begin. Two months | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
ago, the Attorney General asked the prosecution service to review the | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
decision not to prosecute any police officers involved in the incident. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
The inquiry into historic abuse at institutions has been shown | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
an MI6 Intelligence document which claimed at least one agent | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
was aware of sexual abuse at Kincora Boys Home. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
It's long been at the centre of allegations that a paedophile | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
ring involving high-profile political and military figures | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
Lisa McAlister was in Banbridge for us. | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
The document emerged during evidence given via video link | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
by Deputy Director of MI6 which operated here in | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Known as SIS officer A, he was asked about the 1989 note which stated: | :04:05. | :04:25. | |
SIS officer A also said the service found no credible evidence | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
to support the claims former M16 chief Sir Maurice Oldfield | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
It was asked whether the author of the note had some personal knowledge | :04:36. | :04:51. | |
but he hadn't recorded or F, for some reason, had the wrong end of | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
the stick. Officer 38 replied he couldn't speculate as to what the | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
author was thinking when he it. -- wrote it. | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
operations in Northern Ireland had his clearance revoked in 1980 | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
At the time, the security services would not give clearance to gay men, | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
amid fears that foreign spies would blackmail them. | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
None of the former Kincora residents who have given evidence to the HIA | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
have claimed Sir Maurice abused them though one claimed | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
A woman is in a critical condition in hospital after being found | :05:31. | :05:42. | |
The police are still investigating what happened | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
Our reporter Dan Stanton has the details. | :05:45. | :05:51. | |
Forensic teams searched the road and bushes if you hundreds yards from | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
the house for the women in her 50s was found earlier this morning. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Neighbours have told me an ambulance arrived the property just after 3am. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
It was followed soon afterwards by a number of police cars. Locals, who | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
didn't want to appear on camera, said they were shocked something so | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
serious should happen at this new development close to the town. A | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
serious incident has occurred here and it's a shame about the fact that | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
the road has been closed after a considerable time. Incidents like | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
this do cause fear and distress in the team unity but our thoughts and | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
prayers are with the lady who has been entered. We would hope that | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
incidents like this would be few and far between. It is essentially a | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
very, very peaceful committee but people get on very well together and | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
we would hope that that would continue. Police were alerted to the | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
area after a member of the public noticed a very intoxicated manual to | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
the roundabout. The women was taking to the Daisy hill hospital that has | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
now been transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
A court has heard how a double murderer admitted to his girlfriend | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
that he had used a Samurai sword to kill two men he had | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
47-year-old Colin Lindsay had been almost decapitated. | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
Police found the two casualties in the living room of this | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
Appearing for sentencing today was 47-year-old | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Armstrong initially denied carrying out the frenzied attack, | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
claiming he had arrived at the house to discover | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
Later, he admitted killing both Colin Lindsay and Stanley Wightman. | :07:34. | :07:43. | |
All three men lived close to each other in the Belvoir Estate in south | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
Belfast and were well known to each other. | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
Mr Lindsay apparently telephoned Armstrong asking him to come | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
All three men then spent most of the day drinking together. | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
The attack happened later that evening. | :07:59. | :08:11. | |
He returned home and his girlfriend noticed he would covered in blood on | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
his face and hands. She noted there was a samurai sword in the passenger | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
well of the car he was driving. to the victims' hands and arms point | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
to the murdered men trying vainly Autopsy results record multiple | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
sword blows to the neck Two incisions to Mr Lindsay's spinal | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
cord would have Police arrived at the murder | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
scene shortly after 8pm. They found two casualties | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
in the living room. Colin Lindsay was | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
slumped on the sofa. Mr Wightman was found | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
lying in a doorway. He too had sustained multiple | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
injuries to his head and neck. He died of his injuries | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
though two days later. Bereaved family members and friends | :09:00. | :09:11. | |
of the two murdered men were in the public gallery for today's hearing. | :09:12. | :09:12. | |
He will learn next month the minimum tariff he will have to serve. | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
Still to come. With the number of swifts declining, we find out how | :09:24. | :09:33. | |
GPS technology is being used to track the noisy summer visitors. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
Preparations are being made for the centenary commemoration | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
events in the UK and in France marking the start of the Battle | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
Tonight, in County Down, there is an overnight | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
vigil at the Somme Museum near Newtownards. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
Then, tomorrow, most of the attention will shift | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
to the battlefields at Theipval in France. | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
After the main joint British and French ceremony in the morning, | :09:58. | :10:00. | |
a Northern Ireland event has been organised by the Somme Association. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
Tara Mills is there in France for BBC Newsline. | :10:05. | :10:16. | |
This is the memorial to the thousands of men | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
from the 36th Ulster Division who died at the Somme. | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
The men fought and died alongside friends and neighbours | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
Thousands perished in the most horrific circumstances. | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
Tomorrow is about remembering the sacrifice they made. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
The Royal Irish regiment's and had to learn a new anthem in preparation | :10:38. | :10:54. | |
for tomorrow Saum centenary service in France. The ground at the Ulster | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
Tower in the Thiepval have been transformed this special | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
commemorative event. The service needs to be dignified and showed | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
respect to the soldiers that lost their lives here on the 1st of July. | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
We have to put a lot of effort into it to make sure it's dignified and | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
done respectfully. Several thousand people will join a range of | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
dignitaries for what will be a solemn remembrance of the lives lost | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
in one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. To Derry, to | :11:23. | :11:33. | |
foil, to Belfast the arts are also involved in marking the special | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
centenary. These players from the Abbey Theatre staged the moves of | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
Ulster moving towards the Somme at the Somme. It is a remarkable | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
privilege to put the right next to the reality and see how the top to | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
each other. It's already very moving and very just in herself, surrounded | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
by the noise of nail guns and practising bands. To commemorate | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
these men and this event and how it has resonated down 100 years. Such | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
was the sacrifice of the 36th Ulster Division that it led the French | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
Government to making a rather unique gesture of gratitude. The site that | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
we are standing on here was donated in perpetuity by the people of | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
France to the people of Ulster after the war. This was for the sacrifice | :12:23. | :12:31. | |
made by the men from home on this site. It is our piece of land as | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
long as there is a memorial on it. Technically, when you come through | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
every date, you are no longer in France. As French protocol, to this | :12:41. | :12:48. | |
day, they don't walk into the site without an invitation. Over 2000 | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
Ulstermen were killed with 5500 killed, wounded and missing on the | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
first day of the fighting. Tomorrow, the slaughter at the Somme will be | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
remembered by tens of thousands of people 100 years after the battle. | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
Everything is now in place for this special televised Saum centenary | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
service. Probably the most important of all the centenary commemorations, | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
particularly for those families who have connections with the 36th | :13:20. | :13:20. | |
Ulster Division. With me now is the historian fill | :13:21. | :13:32. | |
up. Pick the battle into some context. It is really probably the | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
worst battle as far as the British Army is concerned in its entire | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
history. It broke out on the 1st of July. Tomorrow, 100 years ago. If we | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
had been here 100 years ago, there would have been an enormous | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
artillery bombardment happening. We wouldn't have been able to hear our | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
ears. In the Thiepval would, which is not far from us here, the Ulster | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
division were waiting to go over the top into no man's land and they | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
wanted to charge up the hell, which we have behind the Ulster Tower here | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
and take the German position. It was the beginning of 141 days of | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
enormous conflict and a terrible loss of life. You interviewed many | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
of the veterans in the 1980s. How'd they reflect on the battle that they | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
had managed to survive given that so few had survived? I was talking to | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
old men who were coming towards the end of their lives and I have to say | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
that none of them that I ever spoke to talk about the battle in terms of | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
glory in terms of personal achievements they had. They talked | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
in terms of, first of all, lost comrades young men that had gone to | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
be worn with them and weren't there any more. They had vanished on the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
slopes we are standing on here today 100 years ago. One man told me that | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
when he came back here in 1866 on the 50th anniversary, when he was on | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
the way back to Belfast by plane, he turned round the person beside him | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
and said, I don't care if that plane goes down now because I have seen | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
the place for all those young fellows who went off with us to the | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
battle and proudly perished. That somehow got some kind of closure of | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
him and managed to close the issue. Many of the men I talk to refer to | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
horrible circumstances. One man called Tommy talked about being in | :15:24. | :15:25. | |
the German trenches in the 1st of July and he came round the corner of | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
the Trent and there was a German soldier and it was kill the killed. | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
He had to shoot the German soldier. He told me that all those years | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
later, when he tried to think back to the battle of the Somme and the | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
various people that he knew and the incidence, the one thing that stayed | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
in his mind alongside the sound of the guns, all those decades later, | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
was the face of the man that he'd had to. We are talking about an | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
enormously important battle, full of courage and we have to acknowledge | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
and respect that but also a time of terrible suffering on all sides. | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
Thank you very much. We will be broadcasting the service life here | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
on BBC One. In a BBC newsline special starting at 1:15pm tomorrow. | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
An overnight vigil will be held at the Somme | :16:13. | :16:14. | |
It's open to the public and is one of several similar events | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
The vigil here at the Somme Museum will start at 7pm this evening, it's | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
one of several being held around the UK, Cardiff and Edinburgh over the | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Queen will be attending a service at Westminster Abbey around the grave | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
of the unknown Warrior. This is a particularly iconic location to have | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
the vigil in Northern Ireland because the soldiers of the 36th | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Ulster Division trained in the grounds not far from here before | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
they headed to the battlefields of France. The vigil will go on | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
overnight. It is open to the public and will end with a service at 7pm | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
tomorrow -- 7am tomorrow morning. That will last 45 minutes and | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
exactly 728, Wessels will be blown in marking the moment soldiers of | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
the 36th Ulster Division left their trenches to take part in one of the | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
bloodiest battles in human history. Some of the other stories making | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
the news this evening: A doctor who falsified drug | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
trials has won his appeal Senior judges in Belfast ruled | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
that the nine-month jail term imposed on Dr Hugh McGoldrick | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
of Crossgar Road East in Crossgar should instead be | :17:22. | :17:28. | |
suspended for two years. The Downpatrick based GP admitted | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
falsifying clinical trials A teenager from west Belfast has | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
been jailed for killing his best friend and seriously injuring a nun | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
in a car crash. The driver, who cannot be | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
named for legal reasons, was travelling at speeds of up | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
to 100mph when he hit a car being driven by Sister Josephine | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
McAteer on the Saintfield Conal Daly died in the crash, | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
which happened in October 2014. A major housing association says it | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
has secured loans worth ?135 million to help build | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
2,500 new homes. Clanmil Housing Group says three | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
local banks are providing the loans, which will go into an eight-year | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
building programme Tiny trackers are being fitted | :18:11. | :18:12. | |
to one of our noisiest summer visitors in an attempt to reverse | :18:13. | :18:24. | |
a decline in their numbers. For the first time, GPS technology | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
is being used to map precise movements of our swifts, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
birds which are known The idea is to work out | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
where they're feeding so we can help But as our agriculture | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
and environment correspondent finds out, | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
swifts aren't stupid. Catching swifts is not | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
work you do quickly. We'd put up our net at this nest | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
site and sat back to wait for one Two hours later, and aware | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
of our presence, they still hadn't When one finally did, | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
it was a mad dash to get to it This is what the residents of those | :19:06. | :19:24. | |
boxes are after. This is the ground up remains of three to 500 bugs | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
properly from the nearby towns. To find a exactly where those birds go | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
to get this stuff, that this project is about. | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
To do that we need to take our captive | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
swift indoors and fit in with a tiny tracker. | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
It's an intricate ten minute job to tie this GPS logger | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Scientists are hoping it'll provide them important new information. | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
We are trying to understand how five-year going to forage, what | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
habitats they are foraging over and so on and all of this is designed to | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
inform us about the habitats that they need. | :20:06. | :20:05. | |
Swifts travel up to 12,000 miles from Africa to | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
They're mainly urban birds nesting in old buildings, | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
many of which are being knocked down or restored. | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
They're known for aeriel acrobatics so the backpack won't affect | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
We have to put on loosely and else but tightly enough so that when the | :20:20. | :20:30. | |
bird is moving around at very high speeds subjecting itself to four | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
times the force of normal gravity, it stays in the bird and doesn't | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
interfere with it. And if a little reluctant at first, | :20:37. | :20:37. | |
our swift is ready to fly again. His daily hunt for food now, part | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
of a scientific effort to help him Now, for the past month it's been | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
the footballers action in France. Today, it's some | :20:45. | :20:55. | |
of our local golfers. Thomas Nilblock is with | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
us this evening. It's just 93 days until | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
the Ryder Cup begins. Rory McIlroy and Graeme | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
McDowell helped Europe Today, they are playing | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
in the French Open and, this year, the competition carries double | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Ryder Cup qualification points. However, it's been a very bad day | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
at the office for McDowell who struggled on his way to a nine | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
over par round of 80. McIlroy, who's assured a place | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
on the Ryder Cup team, Starting on the 10th tee, | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
he birdied three of his first six But the world number four admitted | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
he's struggling with his swing as he fell back to even for the day | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
- five shots behind leader Meanwhile, the European team captain | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
Darren Clarke finished McIlroy, though, is still well | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
in contention in his final event before the Open championship | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
in two weeks time. Now he's just 20-years old, | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
and at junior level he's a three time world champion | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
but this summer comes the biggest challenge of them all - | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
the Olympic Games in Brazil. Huston qualified as a member | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
of the Great Britain team and he believes he is good enough | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
to win an Olympic medal. This is what qualifying for the | :22:07. | :22:21. | |
Olympics looks like 420 old Patrick Huston, the fulfilment of the dream. | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
I've been working on it for years and it's brilliant to finally the | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
T-shirt today. I've put an awful lot into it and people have helped me | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
and it'll be great to reserve -- represent them on the best stage | :22:36. | :22:43. | |
possible. I know when I qualified my spot, my coach is the double bronze | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
medallist and three-time Olympian and he shook my hand and said | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
welcome to the club. That meant a lot. With the Olympics just over a | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
month away, Houston is finalising his preparation and determined to | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
make an impact on the games begin. The realistic ambition of me is the | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
medal. I want to be a limit champion so does everybody but I've won a | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
host of Betway World Cup of Darts career up until now and I plan on | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
winning a host via as well. As much as I want to win, the fact of | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
getting to the Olympic Games when they are so many British archers, to | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
be able to be that person selected to represent Great Britain at the | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
Olympic Games is just a surreal and incredible experience. If hosting | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
can be on target in real, you might just bring home the ultimate prize. | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Roy Carroll could make his debut for Linfield in tonight's | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
Europa League qualifying round first leg tie against Cork | :23:35. | :23:36. | |

in the first leg this evening against Iceland's KR Reykjavik. | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
Northern Ireland and the Republic may be out of the Euros | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
but their fans have been hailed as the best in the tournament. | :24:07. | :24:08. | |
Both sets of supporters are to be given the prestigious Medal | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
of the city of Paris, which marks international cultural, | :24:12. | :24:13. | |
Different sets of supporters but both in green and both winners. | :24:14. | :24:28. | |
Announcing a special award from the city of Paris, | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
There was no shortage of joyful moments. | :24:32. | :24:49. | |
Northern Ireland supporters won over the Germans. | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
And the Republic's fans had a sing-song with the French police. | :24:56. | :25:11. | |
And what really impressed their hosts was when they made | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
Now let's have a look at the weather forecast here's Geoff Maskell. | :25:17. | :25:32. | |
Tomorrow is the first day of July and the schools are breaking up and | :25:33. | :25:38. | |
I would like to be able to give you a tale of glorious summer sunshine | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
but unfortunately it's going to look a bit like this. This is the rain we | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
have had through this evening causing problems for drivers. It | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
will ease off overnight. Those showers are not away for a very | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
long. We go through tomorrow, it's going to be a pretty breezy, showery | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
sort of day and some of that breeze will really hold the temperatures | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
back. We start of drive but it won't take very long before the showers | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
started coming. The farm up into bands and could be quite heavy. | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
There will be the odd break here and there but the area is very unstable. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
Always the chance of some thunder and maybe the odd flash of | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
lightning. Consider that this time last year we were having | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
temperatures of around the 30 degrees mark. Tomorrow is the very | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
different story. As we go through the evening, the showers will | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
continue off and on. Heading into the weekend with some pretty | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
unstable weather. It is being caused by this area of low pressure which | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
has become firmly established in northern Scotland. These are tightly | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
packed ice of eyes which are a sign of a strong westerly breeze. It will | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
be in evidence to the weekend. Well things become drier, it will still | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
feel cool because of that breeze. The shower is never terribly far | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
away. This is what you will wake up to on Saturday morning. If you | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
showers. They will ease as we go through the day with the impact on | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
the temperatures. A little warmer by the time we get to Sunday. Things | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
can definitely see the daytime but it's not long before that next | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
weather system starts to approach bringing the morning. If this is | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
what summer is going to look like, I think we should all ask for a refund | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
Our refund late summary is at 10.30pm.You can also | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
keep in contact with us via Facebook and twitter. | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
