The new Prime Minister, Theresa May, speaks | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
of the importance of the union with Northern Ireland. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
As David Cameron bids farewell to Downing Street, | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
we examine how history will judge his role here. | :00:25. | :00:32. | |
I believe Northern Ireland is stronger than it was six years ago, | :00:33. | :00:39. | |

today, tomorrow does at least look The new Prime Minister, Theresa May, | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
has referred to her party's roots She was speaking before entering | :01:13. | :01:23. | |
Downing Street within the last hour. Not everybody knows this at the full | :01:24. | :01:40. | |
title of my party is the Conservative and unionist party. And | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
that word unionist is very important to me. It means we believe in the | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
union, the precious bond between England, Scotland, Wales and | :01:52. | :01:57. | |
Northern Ireland. But it means something else that is just as | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
important. It means we believe in the union not just between the | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
nations of the UK but between all of our citizens, every one of us, | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
whoever we are and wherever we are from. | :02:13. | :02:13. | |
The outgoing Prime Minister David Cameron says Northern Ireland | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
is stronger now than when he came to power six years ago. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
But how will history judge David Cameron's role here? | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty begins his look | :02:22. | :02:22. | |
back with some of today's events in Parliament. | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
On his final appearance at the despatch box as Prime Minister, | :02:30. | :02:36. | |
David Cameron's first question came from the Northern Ireland bench. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
After thanking David Cameron for his commitment to Northern Ireland, | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
Danny Kinahan then suggested some new jobs. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
I'm told there are lots of leadership roles | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
There's even, across the big pond, a role that needs filling. | :02:53. | :03:10. | |
Fascinating suggestions for future jobs, most of which sound even | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
harder than this one so I think I will pass. I believe Northern | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Ireland is stronger than it was six years ago. 58 thousand more people | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
in work, devolution of justice and home affairs, the sample report | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
published and record inward investment in creating jobs. | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
This is how David Cameron would like to be remembered - | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
as the Prime Minister who put Northern Ireland | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
on the international stage, bringing in the world's most | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
powerful leaders to show them how far Northern Ireland had travelled. | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
A journey which began for him five weeks after he was | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. | :03:47. | :03:55. | |
Here was a Conservative Prime Minister being cheered and applauded | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
My brother William, we know he was innocent. We have always known. Now | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
the world knows. But some of the Bloody Sunday | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
families have since It was a fake apology and what the | :04:08. | :04:18. | |
Bloody Sunday inquiry did at that time, although it found my brother | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
and the other is innocent of any crime, it also found the British | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
government and the chain of command innocent and laid the blame at nine | :04:28. | :04:29. | |
lowly soldiers. Bloody Sunday was David Cameron's | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
first big test and he had many more, not least when he formed | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
an electoral pact with the Ulster Unionist Party | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
which went badly wrong. Had that delivered any seats in | :04:37. | :04:45. | |
2010, that would have changed the dynamics of his elation chip with | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Northern Ireland but it didn't, and at that time it dawned on him that | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Roy Noble votes for the Conservative Party in Northern Ireland. He took | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
an interest in Northern Ireland, maybe not as hands-on as his | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
predecessors but we all have different styles and it worked for | :05:04. | :05:04. | |
him. But that hands-off approach didn't | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
play well with Sinn Fein when the Conservatives pushed ahead | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
with their austerity cuts So how do those who may well be | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
affected by the cuts reflect I don't think he can actually claim | :05:11. | :05:23. | |
any credit for what has happened in Northern Ireland. I just feel the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
foundation was already there for change. His mistake was eager than | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
everyone else's, the consequences were to go, so if I feel some | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
sympathy for him, one Tory is the same as another. He called this | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
referendum, so maybe if he hadn't called it, we wouldn't be in this | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
position, but people are in the dark, none of us know what will | :05:51. | :05:52. | |
happen. Try as he may to talk up his legacy, | :05:53. | :05:53. | |
David Cameron knows he will always be remembered for one thing - | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
as being the Prime Minister in charge when the UK | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
voted to leave the EU. So his legacy here can only be | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
judged when we know the full implications of that vote - | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
in other words, what life will be like for Northern Ireland | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
outside the EU. And that will be for his successor | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
at Number 10, Theresa What can we expect from | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
the new Prime Minister, Theresa May? I think we got our first clue in the | :06:15. | :06:27. | |
past are when she made that speech outside Downing Street and talk | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
about the importance of the union, when she reminded us she is a member | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
of the Conservative and unionist party and she plans to build up bond | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We don't know how | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
that will work in practice but I'm sure it will comfort the unionist | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
parties here to hear that speech because it struck all the right | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
notes for them. In terms of her wider approach, we note the reason | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
may didn't you devolved politics, she took a hands-off approach to | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
Northern Ireland, so we know that bar if you are exceptions she was at | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
arms length when it came to Northern Ireland Baltics, except when she | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
brought him the National Crime Agency here and refused to extend | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
the Westminster abuse inquiry to include Kincora. She was here | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
campaigning in the referendum, fighting for the remaining camp and | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
making the importance of the border and what might happen to the border | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
with the Republic in the event of a Brexit vote. If the UK pulled out of | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
the EU, this with the aid is an border with a country still in the | :07:42. | :07:46. | |
EU. I think it's inconceivable there wouldn't be changes to the border as | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
a result of pulling out of the EU. If work out of the European Union, | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
with tariffs and exporting goods to the EU, they would have to be | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
something to recognise that between Northern Ireland and the Republic of | :08:02. | :08:02. | |
Ireland. Do we know yet if Theresa | :08:03. | :08:03. | |
Villiers will keep her job No, we are still waiting to find | :08:04. | :08:13. | |
that out. Some of the senior Conservatives have started to arrive | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
at number ten, Philip Hammond went through and we are awaiting to see | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
if he gets a job. We expect to make some appointments to her Cabinet | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
this evening but the Secretary of State will be expecting that | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
sometime tomorrow. Theresa Villiers told us she would love to stay on as | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
Secretary of State for an arrogant, but against that she backed Andrea | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
Leadsom in the leadership race so willed to Theresa May now remove her | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
from the Cabinet? In her favour, she was very much in the Brexit corner | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
and to Theresa May would like to keep some of those around that | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Cabinet table and make negotiation easier for her. We will find out | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
tomorrow. Still to come on the programme: | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
Brendan Rodgers' first game in charge as Celtic manager ends | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
in Champions League The Seagate factory in Londonderry | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
will not be affected by a new round of global job cuts, | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
the company has said. The disc drive manufacturer said | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
on Monday that it intends to cut 14% of its global workforce | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
by the end of 2017. That raised fears of more | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
cuts at the Derry plant, where 70 workers were made redundant | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
earlier this year. A spokeswoman said today | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
that Seagate, one of the North-West's biggest employers, | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
will not be affected. It's been described as one | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
of the quietest Twelfths in many years, with not a single police | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
officer injured There was also a hugely significant | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
development in the ongoing parade dispute in the Ardoyne area | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
of North Belfast, with two of the three lodges involved not | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
taking part in a protest That's raised hopes of a deal | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
to end the dispute. Our home affairs correspondent | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
Vincent Kearney reports. One man leading a single large. In | :10:04. | :10:16. | |
recent years the re-lodges and supporters have watched you leased | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
lines on the Woodvale Road. Last night he worked than 20 members of | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
Alex Allan Lodge are right. Then they waited for two other North and | :10:28. | :10:36. | |
fast Lodges who didn't show up. There's not enough time for them to | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
get up here. A proposed parade deal between the rich order and in | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Ardoyne residents group collapsed earlier this month, unravelling | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
after Ballysillan said it wouldn't I could, even though the other two | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Lodges said they would. Ballysillan have rejected any suggestion it was | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
deliberately left out on a limb for opposing the deal, but it is been | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
confirmed that the other two Lodges did not endorse a letter of protest | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
given to police. That letter is handed in on behalf of Ballysillan | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
Lodge only. Yes. How you feel about the fact the other two Lodges will | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
not be in the protest? These can speak for themselves, but because of | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
the order of the demonstration they could not come to that police lines, | :11:30. | :11:35. | |
so the determination said 8:30pm and they were unable to come up here. We | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
are a lawful organisation. We support the Lodges up there, they | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
will make a decision by the resolution, so Alex Allan were not | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
left out on their own. There was no difficulty between the Lodges and | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
any aspect of the Orange Order. The Orange Order it denies there was an | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
attempt to isolate Ballysillan but there was a deliberate decision to | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
keep the three Lodges apart in yesterday's parade. They each belong | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
to different districts and traditionally all Lodges within a | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
district parade to get, but that has not happened in North Belfast in | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
recent years, when the three Lodges were given special permission to | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
walk together. That changed this year. How we do would differ is most | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
years but the Lodges decided to march with their own districts. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Yesterday the Lodges in the dispute did not march as a group. After the | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
parade dispersed there was some minor problem and a brief stand-off | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
between loyalists and Republicans. To union flags were set on fire at | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
the police intervened. If you'd said to me if you use go we would be in a | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
situation like this with no serious rioting, I would have grabbed this | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
with both hands. At other flash points no Catholic churches, there | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
were some breaches of Parades Commission determinations but no | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
organised protests at the Nicole Street or the Short Strand, and the | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
parades passed off peacefully. While talks to resolve the Ardoyne dispute | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
failed, those who backed it remain hope will. I could only describe it | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
as an atmosphere that there is a possibility of resolution and I know | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
myself and from the local area, people do not want to hand this | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
problem onto another generation, so there is an atmosphere on to get | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
this sorted. Both sides of Ardoyne expect to get this -- to meet to get | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
this sorted shortly, and there is hope of a resolution before next | :13:55. | :13:55. | |
year. A great-grandmother whose house | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
was set alight by sparks from a nearby bonfire says | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
she doesn't blame the Lily Turtle's home in the Shankill | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
was destroyed in the fire Three days later, the bonfire | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
in Hopewell Square is still burning. Sparks and debris from this fire, | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
carried by the wind, set alight three neighbouring houses | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
in the middle of the night. No-one was injured but | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
the damage is extensive. Lily Turtle's home | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
was the worst hit. Furniture, beds, even family | :14:21. | :14:23. | |
photographs and ornaments. She's been left with just | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
a few bags of clothes. I don't think it's really sunk in. | :14:29. | :14:44. | |
The house I loved, the best neighbours out over their, they are | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
all brilliant. The 72-year-old and her two-year-old | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
great-granddaughter were led I rang up, grabbed the child, my | :14:51. | :15:06. | |
granny followed me up and you could see bits of flames, I just got the | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
child out in time. Despite what she's been through, | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
Lily says she doesn't blame those I would watch it and I enjoyed it, | :15:11. | :15:26. | |
the wee lad didn't know what way the wind would blow, he didn't do would | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
on purpose. He did it for us. This isn't the first time homes have | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
been set alight by bonfires Two years ago a number | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
of properties were damaged on the other side of the square | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
in similar circumstances. Residents were out for six months | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
while their homes were repaired. But the bonfire stayed | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
in the same place. The Housing Executive, | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
which owns the land on which the bonfire is built, | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
says it's too early to comment The annual Sham Fight at Scarva | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
in County Down has seen the traditional win for King William | :15:51. | :16:00. | |
over the forces of King James. The re-enactment of the Battle | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
of the Boyne takes place every year on the day after | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
the Twelfth Parades. This year, tens of thousands | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
of visitors, along with the First Minister, Arlene Foster, | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
watched the actors after a parade The Orange Order says its campaign | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
to reduce the amount of alcohol consumed at Twelfth of July parades | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
is slowly starting to work. There was still widespread street | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
drinking in Belfast yesterday, but as BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
reports, the Order claims Clearing up after the Twelfth | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
of July parade in Belfast. As usual, rubbish lined | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
most of the route. And much of it was empty beer | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
bottles and cans. This year, the Order tried to reduce | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
the amount of alcohol. There were bottles of water handed | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
out and an online campaign, We all have to remember it really is | :16:54. | :17:12. | |
about the battle and not the bottle. So did the campaign make any | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
difference? We were these we got the message out there. We believe many | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
people add here to that message. It was not a perfect day but other | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
people have to address the problem, we believe we have made a start and | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
we are happy with the response. We are not against drinking, just | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
excessive drinking and drinking in public. Whatever the mess left | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
behind yesterday, and here there was a thought of it, most has now gone. | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
The clean-up operation, as always, was swift and efficient. What | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
rubbish? But according to one side past MLA, just having a good clearer | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
system is not had enough. We need a solution, whether more bins, more | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
staff, I don't think solutions are hard to find that the campaign about | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
It's about the battle, not the bottle this year I think has shown | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
some success but I think that's more on marching day itself than tackling | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
the bonfire Council. -- bonfire culture. That's another big talking | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
point at this time of year. And like the alcohol issue, | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
there's more and more pressure building for those in authority | :18:29. | :18:30. | |
to do more to tackle the problems. The Arts Council has had its budget | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
from the Executive reduced by It's the latest cut they've | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
faced in recent years. But the Arts Minister Paul Givan has | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
found money to restart a scheme to buy musical | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
instruments for marching bands, as our arts correspondent | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
Robbie Meredith explains. A busy time of year for marching | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
bands, but many aren't cheap to run. Silver bands, and instrument might | :18:52. | :19:06. | |
cost up to two or three those in pounds. Flute bands aren't as bad as | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
that. Communities Minister Paul Givan | :19:10. | :19:10. | |
is helping them out by restoring a scheme suspended by former | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
Culture Minister Caral Ni Chuilin. He's giving the Arts Council | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
?200,000 this year so they can give grants to bands to buy | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
new instruments or replace old ones. But it's not such good news | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
for the arts, as the council's main budget is being cut by almost half | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
a million pounds. Last year they got just under | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
?11 million from DCAL. This year that's down to under | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
?10.5 million from the new Most of that money goes to arts | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
organisations to pay They have protested about cuts | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
at Stormont before and they have questions for the minister, | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
who wasn't available What message are we sending to | :19:51. | :20:03. | |
people that we don't care, not only do we not care but were going to cut | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
you? The fat has been trimmed from the arts time and again. It's | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
unfortunate timing coming immediately after money was donated | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
to bands, although it's good to see money coming from somewhere, where | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
was that money before? Could it have gone to other arts organisations who | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
are struggling? If there is any good news, | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
it's that this reduction in its budget is slightly less | :20:29. | :20:31. | |
than the Arts Council had forecast. But it's only the latest of a number | :20:32. | :20:33. | |
of cuts in recent years. Following the demise of DCAL, | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
the arts have a new government department and a new minister - | :20:38. | :20:39. | |
but they face many of the same Brendan Rodgers' first | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
competitive game in charge of Celtic was memorable, | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
but for all the wrong reasons. The Carnlough man has called | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
for calm after a shock defeat to a team of part-timers | :20:51. | :21:00. | |
in his first match in charge. The Scottish champions were beaten | :21:01. | :21:03. | |
1-0 in Gibraltar by Lincoln Red Imps in the first leg of their Champions | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
League qualifying-round tie. Not quite the butcher, | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
the baker and the candlestick-maker, but in no particular order, | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Lincoln Red Imps numbered among their ranks a policeman, | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
a taxi driver and a customs officer. It was the policeman, Lee Casciaro, | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
who struck for the game's only goal, leaving Brendan Rodgers and Celtic | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
between a rock and a hard place. You let the local team have their | :21:26. | :21:40. | |
night, for us, were expected to press on next week and be better for | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
it. There's obviously disappointed, we know where we want to get to and | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
what we want to achieve, but there's no password. It was a tough game in | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
tough conditions and we never took our chances and they took their | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
chance, but second leg will be different. | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
On the night, the Red Imps' president revealed that before | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
the match, a local clergyman had blessed their goalposts. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
Whether relevant or not, their keeper was unbeatable. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
But he might very well need that man of the cloth for next Wednesday's | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
Amid all the hysteria, the softly-spoken manager | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
from the North Antrim coast remains confident Celtic will win next week | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
and advance to the third round of qualifying. | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
The 145th Open Golf Championship gets under way at Royal Troon | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
Stephen Watson is there for BBC Newsline. | :22:31. | :22:39. | |
Rory McIlroy has grabbed much of the pre-tournament attention here | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
because of his controversial comments about the Olympics | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
yesterday. He suggested golf in the games in Rio doesn't matter that he | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
was also outspoken about drug testing in court, saying it should | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
be much more stringent. I could use a banned substance and get away with | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
it, you cannot really pick it up in a year and test so I think blood | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
testing needs to happen to make sure it is a clean sport going forward, | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
but I think if golf is in the Olympics and wants to be seen as a | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
mainstream sport, it has to get in line with the other sports that test | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
more rigorous way. He starts as one of the tournament favourites but | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
their are a host of other Irish players in the field, including | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
major champions Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke. Everywhere at Royal | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
Troon, there is trouble, but after more than 20 opens, Darren Clarke | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
has to do it all before and at 2011 winner has played well here, | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
including second place in 1997. The forecast is not great but not too | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
bad, so we shall see. I enjoyed links and this is the truest form of | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
the game, so we'll have a good look. As a rider cat -- Ryder Cup captain, | :24:07. | :24:15. | |
he will also keep an eye on Graeme McDowell's performance. I would love | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
to be in Darren's European team, but I cannot really let that affect what | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
I'm trying to accomplish here, I want to compete and do the best I | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
can and the Ryder Cup will take care of itself. And Shane Lowry, who | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
almost won the US Open last month, says this is the tournament he | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
really wants. This is the major we really want, I had a putt to win the | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
open, so it would be nice to have a chance to do that. And an open | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
triumph would be an amazing ten major went by an Irish player in the | :24:57. | :24:58. | |
last ten years. Irish Premiership champions | :24:59. | :24:59. | |
Crusaders are in Champions League They're playing FC | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
Copenhagen at Seaview. The latest score is that the | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
visitors were 1-0 up. We'll bring you the result | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
on our late bulletin. Let's get the weather now, and only | :25:11. | :25:20. | |
one word to describe it, Shari. Tomorrow looks much better, probably | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
the best of the next few because it still looks settled. There was a | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
breezy airstream and that what showers across Northern Ireland | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
anti-sleep bright spots for her weird importers and some were mixed | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
with thunder, but we did have sunny gaps in between the showers moved | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
along, perfect conditions for spotting the odd rainbow. This | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
evening we still have one or two downpours across southern counties, | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
they will shift away South, the breeze starts to ease down and we | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
get lighter winds through the night, then comes mainly dry with clear | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
spells and quite cool off though the towns hold at around nine or 10 | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
degrees, and we are likely to see parts of the countryside in the | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
South dipping to five or six. A much better date tomorrow, lots of dry | :26:14. | :26:18. | |
weather and a fair amount of sunshine. You may get one or two | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
light showers towards the North Coast but you will be quite unlucky | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
to cut those, so a fair amount of sunshine through the morning and the | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
East will be the sunniest spot through the day. We will hold onto | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
that sunshine, feeling quite strong -- quite warm. Further west we might | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
see more cloud edging in through the afternoon but still fine and dry and | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
here around 16 or 17 degrees, but it only lasts for tomorrow. I've | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
towards the Atlantic we have a weather front coming in tomorrow | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
night, another to follow in behind that, so for tomorrow night we get | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
cloudy conditions, spells of rain edging in but I'm much milder night | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
across the board with temperatures for most places in double figures, | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
then on Friday a drier slot but still cloudy, warm and mighty, then | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
another batch of rain later in the day, that moves on and into the | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
weekend it turns fresher with bright spells and scattered showers. News | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
just in, and Philip Hammond has been appointed as Chancellor, replacing | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
George Osborne, who has resigned from the government, and to me has | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
talked about the importance of the union. Join me for our late news at | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
