And the news that Theresa May, currently Home Secretary, will be | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
here in Scores of 11th night | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
bonfires are being lit across Northern Ireland | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
as environmental concerns have been Hundreds have appeared | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
at several locations. The Northern Ireland Environment | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
Agency says they've issued five ?300 fines over dumping at bonfires | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
within the past two months. The police say they're also | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
investigating complaints about election posters of Sinn Fein | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
candidates being placed on one Tara Mills visited several | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
bonfires earlier today. The bonfire here is usually | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
one of the biggest. It's hard to estimate how many tyres | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
are on this bonfire. One resident said he reckons it | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
could be as many as 2,000. Those who built it wouldn't appear | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
on camera but said ministerial cars at Stormont cause more pollution | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
to the atmosphere. But some people with children | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
living on the estate say One mum with a six-year-old son | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
with asthma says he will feel Another told me they won't be able | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
to open their windows One resident who's lived | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
in Ballycraigy for 40 years says And what about from | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
an environmental point of view? It depends what way the wind | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
is blowing down towards the house, you get smoke around the roof | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
of the house and the front garden. You are one of the closest | :01:30. | :01:38. | |
to the bonfire. The windows will get | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
fairly hot if the wind is blowing down | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
this way, but I bring a garden hose around | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
to the I will bring in skips | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
to make sure tyres What about some of the more | :01:52. | :02:00. | |
unpleasant messages? Looking at the gunman on that sign, | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
does that annoy you? If you say anything you will be | :02:07. | :02:13. | |
the worst in the world, so you just have to let | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
them get on with it. There appear to be more tyres | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
on other bonfires this year too. Here in Drumtara, those who built it | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
say it's not all made of tyres - But they weren't happy | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
with us filming. We'd agreed to interview a DUP | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
councillor but after she was told by a local resident to say nothing, | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
she declined the opportunity. We condemn the use of tyres due | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
to the environmental and health concerns which arise | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
when they are burnt. We do not own the land | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
on which the bonfire is placed, and we do not have legal | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
remit to remove any We hope the organisers will see | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
the need to remove the tyres to make it a safer and more environmentally | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
responsible event for everyone. One resident told us if we gave | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
the area bad publicity, the bonfire would be twice | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
as big next year. The Environment Minister, | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
Michelle McIlveen, wasn't available for interview but | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
the department said: Lead responsibility | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
for bonfire management rests with local councils | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
and within district-council-led The Northern Ireland Environment | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Agency will concentrate on progressively reducing the number | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
of tyres being burnt on bonfires. At this smaller | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
bonfire in Kellswater, And it's being built | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
very close to the road. It'll be lunchtime tomorrow before | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
any real assessment can be made Politicians here have been | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
reacting to the news that the Home Secretary Theresa May | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
is to become Prime It's less than three weeks | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
since the Home Secretary paid a visit to Northern Ireland | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
to support the Remain campaign But earlier today Mrs May said | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
Brexit meant Brexit, and she was determined | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
that her government would She will want to work hard to ensure | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
the UK goes forward together as one, so we will be working very closely | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
with the government under Theresa May to ensure that the union is | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
protected and that the UK develops the opportunities that will now | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
arise from new trading relationships with many countries across the globe | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
as well as ensuring we continue to have a strong relationship | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
with the European Union. I would urge Theresa May to do | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
all she can to protect human rights, protect the people | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
here who voted to remain in Europe and the most vulnerable people | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
in society because the previous government under David Cameron | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
has failed miserably. The Secretary of State, | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Theresa Villiers, backed Mrs May's rival in the Conservative leadership | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
contest, Andrea Leadsom. I asked Ms Villiers for her reaction | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
to today's developments. In many ways I am sad | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
that Andrea felt she had to withdraw from | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
the campaign but I understand and | :05:11. | :05:11. | |
respect that decision, and I think it is very welcome that we can move | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
straightaway to select our new Prime Minister, Theresa May, I am sure, | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
would do a great job. She has my full support | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
and I think dispensing with the need for two | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
months of age difficult leadership election | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
is You say she has your full | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
support but she wasn't What was it about Theresa | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
May that you didn't think she could become | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Prime Minister? I was always clear the two | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
candidates I thought were the best ones were the ones | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
on the ballot paper, either Andrea or Teresa | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
could My reason for backing | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
Andrea was because we were on the same side in the referendum | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
but I am confident that the reason may respect the decision | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
made in the referendum. I think she will conduct | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
the negotiation with a European neighbours with skill and respect | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
thing the decision made the people Do you trust Theresa | :06:16. | :06:17. | |
May to deliver on the referendum, because as you say | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
she was in the remaining camp? I do, she has been very clear | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
from the moment the result was announced that she | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
respect that it, that Brexit means Brexit and I think | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
the country is in safe Prime Minister and the negotiation | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
of our exit from the European Union Do you think you will remain | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
as Secretary of State for these things | :06:46. | :06:54. | |
are never predictable, I would love to stay on but whether I | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
am not I will come back to visit And her big task is uniting | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
the Conservatives. How difficult do you | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
think that will be? I think it is important all my | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
conservative colleagues get behind We all need to make | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
a success of Brexit so whether we leave or remain, it is in | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
all our interests to be a united party strongly supporting | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
our new Prime Minister and it is a matter of pride to make | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
that the Conservatives have given this country its second | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
woman Prime Minister. Dissident Republican paramilitaries | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
are being blamed for a bomb It was discovered by | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
police over the weekend. Nationalist politicians in Derry | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
have condemned those responsible. Work was continuing as normal | :07:54. | :08:01. | |
today on this development Around 200 new homes are being built | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
as part of a social housing estate. It is here the PSNI found a viable | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
bomb at other component parts The police say the bomb discovered | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
was an improvised explosive device. This is a development with | :08:14. | :08:28. | |
approximately 200 houses that are badly needed in this area. | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
the actions of these people are not welcome. | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
God knows what the aftermath could have been if this | :08:36. | :08:37. | |
Brian Tierney contracted the actions behind this device with other | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
One local councillor described those responsible as reckless thugs | :08:42. | :08:52. | |
He said the major festivals currently attracting thousands | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
of visitors underlie the positive side of a city determined to move | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
These people who support that should be brought on the media to explain | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
why they are still carrying out this type of activity. | :09:03. | :09:04. | |
The police say the operation was part of an investigation | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
As part of that investigation, a 48-year-old man was arrested | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
after a house search in the Creggan area. | :09:14. | :09:15. | |
A man was arrested and subsequently released unconditionally. | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
Bus services have been suspended in a district on the outskirts | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
of west Belfast because of a petrol bomb attack on a bus at the weekend. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
The union Unite says drivers are not prepared to return | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
to the Lagmore View area until there are safety guarantees. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
It says it appears that a petrol bomb was deliberately targeted | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
at one of its drivers, also putting the lives | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
The death of a Tyrone man at the weekend has led to fresh | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
calls for greater safety when riding quad bikes. | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
24-year-old Keith Robinson was fatally injured when his quad | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Flowers at the roadside mark the spot where | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
Keith Robinson from Fivemiletown was riding his quad bike along | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
the Aghintain Road in the early hours of Sunday morning | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
A local councillor said the community has been devastated | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
by the tragedy, and his thoughts are with his parents and sister. | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
He was well known socially, great local mechanics and cars and | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
anything with an engine, and had worked in the garage in Clogher. | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
The accident was reported to the police at about 5am. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
They said no other vehicle was involved in the collision. | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
The accident here is just the latest involving quad bikes that have | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
resulted in death or serious injury and it has led to renewed appeals to | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
those who use them to take extra care. | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
The safety features on them are not great, there's no protection | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
as such and most of the time when they are used by farmers they don't | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
wear helmets, so they certainly would have to have extreme caution | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
with them because they are easily tipped over. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
The police have appealed for anyone who may have been travelling | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
on the Aghintain Road yesterday morning to contact them. | :11:14. | :11:21. | |
The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, has rejected calls for him | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Some Fine Gael TDs have said the party needs to begin choosing | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
a replacement and he should set a date for his departure. | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
But today Mr Kenny said he had no intention of being diverted | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
from the task of leading the country and delivering | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
The weather is next. We did see some improvement in the | :11:41. | :11:57. | |
weather today. Temperatures up to 20 degrees across parts of the south | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
east. It was fresher towards the north coast and generally over the | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
next few days it will feel fresher. Still some showery bursts in the | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
forecast but some bright or sunny intervals as well. If anything | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
through tonight, the showers ease back towards the north coast. Many | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
inland areas in the dryer with clear spells. These figures are in the | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
towns. Some rural spots could be getting a little bit lower. Tomorrow | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
if you are heading to the parades, it is busy the sunshine and showers | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
so you may want to pack something waterproof. Not too many of the | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
showers are first thing. Many places will get a dry and bright start. The | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
showers became Ms morning onwards. Sunshine and showers across many | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
parts of Britain and Ireland tomorrow. Showers more frequent for | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
Scotland and Ireland. To begin with across Wales, the showers will drift | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
into words England and some may get heavy and sharp wit and which is | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
rising to 20 Celsius. For Northern Ireland, in the afternoon there will | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
be a few showers knocking about, just drifting in from the West and | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
the odd one could be on the sharp side but we will have dry gaps in | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
between and feeling fresh enough at about 16 degrees. On Wednesday, | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
still some showers which will ease off before a ridge of high pressure | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
before another weather system comes in for thirsty and Friday. | :13:26. | :13:28. |
