The Ambulance Service says it will have to call in help

:00:07.:00:10.

from the voluntary and private sectors again tonight

:00:11.:00:12.

Last night, the service was down 12 crews,

:00:13.:00:19.

Tonight, the Ambulance Service is five crews short.

:00:20.:00:22.

It says part of the problem is a high level of staff sickness

:00:23.:00:25.

and it's warned that again there could be delays getting

:00:26.:00:28.

The performance of the Ambulance Service is based on the

:00:29.:00:39.

administrative 's response and Renault coming close to that the

:00:40.:00:44.

moment. We are seeking to get our crews and paramedics to those who

:00:45.:00:51.

need us as quickly as possible. It will mean that those who are less

:00:52.:00:55.

seriously ill may have to wait longer for their needs to be

:00:56.:01:00.

fulfilled. It is our job to prioritise the most seriously ill

:01:01.:01:01.

and we will continue to do that. The organisers of a cycling race

:01:02.:01:03.

in a County Down forest say those who attempted to sabotage it

:01:04.:01:06.

could have caused Marshals found rocks and logs had

:01:07.:01:08.

been placed to block the route and wool had been tied

:01:09.:01:12.

between trees at head height. A safe ride today but only thanks

:01:13.:01:14.

to observant marshals. Checking the route yesterday,

:01:15.:01:22.

they discovered it had been deliberately blocked with rocks

:01:23.:01:25.

and dangerous logs with spiky branches,

:01:26.:01:27.

fallen trees and blue wool At these speeds it's not hard

:01:28.:01:29.

to imagine the kind of damage

:01:30.:01:37.

a hidden obstacle could do, much less a piece of wool stretched

:01:38.:01:39.

across the route at head height. There's a good chance somebody

:01:40.:01:42.

could have been decapitated Our riders, when they're racing

:01:43.:01:44.

those stages, could be going at speeds of over

:01:45.:01:48.

30mph, up to 40mph. And you can imagine hitting a taut

:01:49.:01:50.

wire at head height at that speed then perhaps landing on a spike,

wasn't going to end up The person's obviously put

:01:54.:01:56.

a lot of thought into it because they've actually taken

:01:57.:02:05.

up the wire with them. a person carries with them

:02:06.:02:07.

and they've spent the time dragging out the logs and the rocks

:02:08.:02:12.

onto the trail and they're quite heavy as well and not

:02:13.:02:14.

an easy thing to move. So they have spent the time

:02:15.:02:17.

thinking about doing this. It's a worrying development

:02:18.:02:19.

for a sport that's growing We have kids from all ages,

:02:20.:02:21.

really from very young right up to people of

at the minute with our cycling and we'd like to see that encouraged

and keep it going forward. The police have said

:02:34.:02:36.

it was an "unbelievably dangerous" thing to do in an area

:02:52.:02:53.

to mark the sacrifice of the 36th Ulster Division

:02:54.:02:57.

and the 16th Irish Division. Lasting 141 days and costing

:02:58.:03:01.

thousands of lives, the Battle of the Somme is etched forever

:03:02.:03:06.

in the memory. The 36th Ulster Division suffered

over 5,000 casualties at Thiepval and were awarded four Victoria

Crosses for acts of gallantry. It will bring together our

remembrance of the men who went over the top on first July with the

Ulster division. We also remember the Irish division who went over the

:03:36.:03:38.

top later in the battle and lost as many men.

:03:39.:03:39.

The Somme, said Dean John Mann, represented an appalling

We are doing it in two or three ways. We are trying to bring focus

:04:00.:04:05.

Many people live in anxiety and fear. How do we deal with conflicts

:04:06.:04:07.

and how we work for peace. In the first day of battle,

:04:08.:04:11.

17 sets of brothers were killed. Their names were remembered,

:04:12.:04:14.

so too the gallantry of four local Northern Ireland's First Minister
