No return to old borders post Brexit - the new Prime Minister sets | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
out her aims on a flying visit to Belfast. | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
Two women are killed in an early morning | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
The funeral takes place of mother of three, Valerie Armstrong, | :00:26. | :00:34. | |
who died after she was hit by a motorbike scrambler. | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
Shock turned to anger because a terrible death could have been | :00:40. | :00:47. | |
avoided and should have been avoided. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
in a County Fermanagh river that then lay forgotten in a barn | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Motor cycling success for a host of local riders as Northern Ireland | :00:56. | :01:07. | |
dominates the British championship. Our summer of unsettled weather | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
continues. I will have all the details just before seven. | :01:12. | :01:11. | |
I will have all the details just before seven. | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
The Prime Minister says there will be no return | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
to the borders of the past, once the UK leaves the European Union. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Theresa May was speaking at Stormont Castle on her first | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
visit here since taking over at Number Ten. | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon. | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
Six weeks after she last visited Northern Ireland, hoping to persuade | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
people to remain in the EU, Teresa May was back. The political turmoil | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
which followed in London has been avoided here but the distance | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
between Stormont leaders could yet cause problems. The new Prime | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Minister amid them together and then separately before ending is -- | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
endings as it is a short statement and just one question was allowed. | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
Is it conceivable there would be no changes to that border in the event | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
of Brexit? How do you define the border and we are in your mind is | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
the border, between the border and the north or between the border and | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
the rest of the UK? When the UK reads the European Union, Northern | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Ireland will have a border with the Republic of Ireland which will | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
remain in the European union. We have had a common travel border with | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the Republic of Ireland years before either country was a member of the | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
European union. No one wants to return to the borders of the past. | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
We want to find a way through this switch is going to work and deliver | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
a practical solution for everybody as part of the work we're doing to | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
make sure we make a success of the United Kingdom leaving the unit -- | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the European union and come out with a solution which is the best | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
interests of the whole of native kingdom. This man took the | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
opportunity to raise the stakes in the local difficulties over Brexit. | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
On the issue of Brexit, Arlene Foster and I ironically done many | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
other things, we look forward and we continue to look at all of those | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
issues but on the issue of Brexit, I speak for the people of the North | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
and the people of the North who are unionist and nationalist and | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
Republicans have made it clear that BC their future in Europe. So why | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
would his partner in government take that? Not well. We all know there | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
was an election in May of this year and the Democratic Unionist Party | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
have 38 members and he has 28 members so I think we jointly think | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the people of Northern Ireland. I speak for the unionist majority and | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
he speaks her nationalist majority but together we should be looking to | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
achieve what is best for all of the people of Northern Ireland and not | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
trying to make political point scoring out of what has occurred. If | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
Teresa May did not know before, she will know that Northern Ireland's | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
two biggest parties are poles apart on the issue of Brexit and it is | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
difficult to seek out any amount of talking will change that. The Prime | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Minister has enough to worry about -- without worrying about new | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
problems at Stormont. Differences between Arlene Foster | :04:29. | :04:38. | |
and Martin McGuinness seem to have come into focus? Of course Brexit | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
has caused a political earthquake in Westminster. There is no disguising | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
the differences between the DUP in Sinn Fein on this issue. Today for | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the first time, those issues came to the surface a bit more with Martin | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
McGuinness saying, I speak for the people of North over Brexit. He | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
knows he will get a reaction. That is what he got. No one is talking | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
about a welfare reform stand-off Mark two but it is still worth | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
watching. It was a flying visit from Teresa May, just 80 minutes, what | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
does that tell us? Link and you Mr. She is a busy woman with a lot to | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
do. She had one thing in mind which was to speak to the leaders but just | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
as she did in Edinburgh and Cardiff, the Prime Minister came and held not | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
a news conference but she made a statement to the cameras. No | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
questions allowed. One journalist was allowed to ask one question. | :05:43. | :05:48. | |
Teresa May is in a hurry. News conferences and journalists just | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
hold you up. There are more high-level meetings planned for | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
tomorrow as well? She will be back in Downing Street but we'll be | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
discussing the Irish border from the other side. Edna Kenny will be in | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Downing Street and no doubt the border will be the main issue on the | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
agenda. He want to avoid problems with the border. We will leave it | :06:14. | :06:15. | |
there. As the political fallout | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
from the Brexit vote continues, more details emerged today | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
of a possible legal challenge. Four Assembly members | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
from four different parties are involved as well as number | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
of human-rights activists. BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
is with me and can tell us more. Firstly, who are the politicians | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
involved? Four politicians who are all pretty | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
well-known, three of them are party leaders. You have Colin Eastwood of | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
the SDLP, it David Ford of the Alliance and Steven Agnew of the | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
Greens and John O'Dowd of Sinn Fein. They have issued a PM to strike. You | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
cannot judicially review a decision which has not actually been taken. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
We know the Prime Minister has not triggered article 15 yet. They have | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
issued, they will not like this, they have issued a legal threat | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
saying to Downing Street, if you try and take us out of Europe, we met I | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
take you to court. What is the legal basis? Critics say that is no legal | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
basis. What could have more legal weight than a referendum results as | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
Mike the majority of people in the UK voted to get out of Europe, you | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
are sword losers. This is what the critics will say. But there are | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
three main things they say should happen before Brexit explains. First | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
there should be a Westminster vote to endorse Brexit. Secondly there | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
should be a vote in Northern Ireland, and Northern Ireland | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
Assembly vote. That could be tricky with the Nationalists against | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Brexit. The third thing they want is some sort of equality impact | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
assessment, reading in mind the equality legislation we have here | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
and the rest of the UK. You take the Good Friday Agreement, throw it into | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
the mix, North-South bodies wrapped up in the new legislation and you | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
conceive what the politicians are playing at, possibly taking this to | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
court at some stage. Has there been any reaction from Downing Street or | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
The Northern Ireland Office? They have said they cannot comment but | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
they make it clear the Prime Minister is going to consult all | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
parts of the UK before she makes up her mind. One final thought, today | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
taught us one big thing, if you look at what happened at Stormont, Teresa | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
May not wanting to answer any questions about the exit apart from | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
one. When it comes to Brexit, Northern Ireland is one of the big | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
Two women have died in a car crash in County Antrim. | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Two vehicles were involved in the collision | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
Our north east reporter Sara Girvin has been to the scene. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
The fatal crash took place outside Randalstown just before eight | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
It's believed the two women who lost their lives were care workers, | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
carrying out their morning calls, when they were killed. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
The two women who died were travelling in a grey coloured | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
Citroen C1 car when it was involved with a collision with a silver | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
Ford Focus that you may be able to see behind me. | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
A man and a woman travelling in that vehicle sustained | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Local people are said to be devastated. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
That is an outpouring of sadness and grief for the people who lost their | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
lives. Two women here this morning. If you look around, the sense of | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
If you look around, the sense of grief over the loss of two lives. | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
has been closed in all directions for much of today. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
Police are investigating the cause of the crash, | :09:58. | :09:59. | |
and have asked anyone who may have witnessed it, to come forward. | :10:00. | :10:01. | |
Sara Girvin, BBC Newsline, Randalstown. | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
The funeral has taken place of the west Belfast mother of three, | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
who died after she was struck by a scrambler motorbike. | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
35-year-old Valerie Armstrong was walking her dog | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
in Colin Glen Forest Park when the incident happened last Tuesday. | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
A 17-year-old boy has since appeared in court charged | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
Today the community of Poleglass came together to lay her to rest. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
They walked before their mum into the church of the Nativity | :10:27. | :10:35. | |
Dylan, Lucy and Sophie Armstrong had painted pictures of angels | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
to accompany Valerie on her last journey. | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
Now their wider family, and the community in | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
When I think Valley Armstrong, I think of a cheerful positive person. | :10:45. | :11:00. | |
A person of faith and hope. I'm sure you think about in the same way too. | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
We're proud to have known that Valerie. As her colleagues described | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
her she was a wonderful person, wife and mother. | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
Valerie Armstrong had grown up in County Westmeath, | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
in a family of four daughters and two sons - she'd carried | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
an organ donation card and after the incident | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
in Colin Glen Forest Park, the mourners heard, her death had | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
For her family, some consolation, in the loss of a young | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
As we heard the circumstances of her death, our shock turned to anger | :11:39. | :11:50. | |
because it was a terrible death which could have been avoided and | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
should have been avoided. I know as you know that death was not intended | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
but it happened. It happened because others made bad choices. | :12:06. | :12:06. | |
It happened because others made bad choices. | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Afterwards Dylan once more led his Mum from from church - | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
his little sisters carried by their Dad Seamus. | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
Valerie Armstrong was laid to rest in Blaris Cemetery in Lisburn. | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
Will Leitch, BBC Newsline, Poleglass. | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
A man in his sixties has died at a clay pigeon shooting | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
The incident happened near Downpatrick yesterday afternoon. | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
The police say the man died after after a firearm was discharged | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
and it appears to have been a tragic accident. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
There's been condemnation of a shooting on the outskirts | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
of west Belfast last night in which a man was wounded | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
He was approached by four masked men in an entry | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
They forced the man to lie down before shooting him. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
Sinn Fein MLA Jennifer McCann and SDLP councillor Brian Heading | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
said such attacks have no place our society. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
A 49-year-old woman has pleaded guilty to wasting police time | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
after falsely accusing former health minister Jim Wells of making | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
It followed a complaint made to the PSNI after a hustings event | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
Controversy surrounded remarks about same sex marriage attributed | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
Dorothy Elaine Gardner of Killycanavan Road in Dungannon | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
admitted falsely reporting a crime at a court hearing this morning. | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
Still to come, it has been a century long wait but there is less than two | :13:36. | :13:53. | |
weeks to go now for Ireland's hockey players at the Olympics. | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
A family run business which hires bikes for a popular mountain trail | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
in County Down says its future is in doubt after it was targeted | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
by thieves for the second time in four weeks. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
East Coast Adventure, which operates out of Kilbroney Park in Rostrevor, | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
has had to put its hire business on hold after 14 bikes | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
Extreme speed in challenging terrain. | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
This kind of mountain biking is not for the faint hearted. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
World class trails like this one are putting Northern Ireland on the map. | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
But many of those who want to try it won't have the right sort of bike. | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
And that's where this business has carved out a niche. | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Since 2013 its been hiring high performance bikes. | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
But it's future could be in doubt after 14 bikes with an estimated | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
cost of ?20,000 were stolen in the early hours | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
I didn't know what to do. I find all the bikes were gone. Absolute | :14:52. | :15:07. | |
What makes matters worse is it's happened before. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
Especially after four weeks ago the same thing happened again except | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
this time it was brand-new bikes and high-end bikes, to lose them again | :15:22. | :15:23. | |
Just four weeks ago 22 bikes were taken. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
The business owners think the same thieves are involved. | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
After the last break-in steps were taken to reinforce the stores, | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
including welding these steel panels. That did not stop the | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
thieves. They use large wooden poles to open the doors and slid the bikes | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
It hasn't been a good time for mountain biking in this area - | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
earlier this month the trails in Kilbroney Park were | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
The council say a vital part of the areas tourism offering | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
It's a family run business and they are bringing good tourism to our | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
area, they are bringing sports which get people outside and active and we | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
want them to continue their business. This might be the straw | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
This might be the straw which broke the camels back. | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
The business says CCTV pictures suggest half a dozen | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
The local council is to meet the business | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
owners in an effort to make sure the family run business | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
What looks like a rusty old dagger discovered in a river | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
in County Fermanagh and left lying in a barn for more than 50 years has | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
been revealed to be an important historical artefact. | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
Experts believe it may have belonged to a Bronze Age | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Our south west reporter Julian Fowler has been | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
to Arney to find out more about this amazing discovery. | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
The Arney River may look peaceful today but locals know | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
In 1594 this was the site of the Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits. | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
So when this sword was pulled from the water - | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
it was thought it might have been lost by a soldier. | :17:05. | :17:11. | |
My brother Ambrose was fishing year and he found an old swords at the | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
edge of the forge. At the time somebody told us it did not have | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
anything to do with the Battle of the Ford suit was left to the side | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
A few weeks ago Maurice was clearing out an old barn | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
and found the sword lying on the floor, and passed it | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
I said to him, do you want the good news or the bad news? The bad news | :17:35. | :17:44. | |
was it wasn't from the battle but the good news was it was from the | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
bronze age. Unbelievable, it is 2600 years old. Unbelievable. | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
Now missing its wooden handle it was deliberately broken in two | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
Who the sword belonged to and why it ended up in the river are likely to | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
that this once belonged to a Bronze Age warrior. | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
They say there is a tradition at that time when a warrior died his | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
sword was broken and left in the river which was done to clear away | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
any past sins he had in his life. I love his version, that is a nice | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
story but we're really not sure. We think definitely this did not belong | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
to your normal person. This has come from a high level in society. | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
This has come from a high level in society. | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
The discovery has confirmed what those | :18:44. | :18:44. | |
living here know already - that this is a special place - | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
In motorcycling Northern Ireland's riders impressed in the latest | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
Thank you very much. It was a successful Saturday and Sunday. | :18:57. | :19:11. | |
There were three victories at the race circuit. | :19:12. | :19:12. | |
Jordanstown's Andy Reid won both Supersport races and Michael Laverty | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
from Toomebridge picked up a double podium in the premier | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
The winner is number seven, Michael Laverty. A successful weekend, one | :19:18. | :19:31. | |
win and a second-place finish in the fastest circuit in the British | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Superbike calendar which moves Michael Laverty into the top five. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
He managed his tiresome purple and reap the rewards. All credit has to | :19:41. | :19:46. | |
go to the team, I have a clever bunch and they worked smartly to | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
make sure we had shelf life on the tire. I ran a patient race, I had to | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
sit there at the front and not use my tyres and it worked a treat. | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Glenn Irwin joined him on the podium. He finished in third place | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
after some exciting reason. The local success continued as Andy Reid | :20:09. | :20:19. | |
was a double super sport winner. My dad died four years ago today and I | :20:20. | :20:26. | |
dug deeper to get that win. It is pretty emotional if I am honest. It | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
feels good to be on top. Divine inspiration for Andy Reid and a | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
remarkable weekend for a Northern Ireland's writers. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
In Gaelic football - Derry's dream of reaching the first | :20:43. | :20:44. | |
All-Ireland quarter final in a decade ended in dramatic | :20:45. | :20:46. | |
Despite a late comeback Damian Barton's men lost by a single | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
point to Tipperary in an an epic encounter at Kingspan Breffni Park. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
The first meeting of these two teams in championship football produced | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
the game of the summer. Mark Lynch fired home the only goal of the | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
first half to give Derry a 1-point lead in the break. But back came to | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
believe. An unfortunate slip from the Derry keeper gave Kevin | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
O'Halloran the simplest of scorers and all them the maintenance. But | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
with just a few minutes to call, Derry pushed forward and crept in | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
front. The school looks like taking his team through. Deep into injury | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
time another twist, Conor Sweeney landed too late points before | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Brendan Rodgers who had started the day with the wedding had this click | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
to bring the match to extra time. Not everybody gets a fairy tale. I | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
do not think I had much choice. I was in the right place when the shot | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
needed to be taken. It just didn't pay offer me today. Given the season | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
we have had, if you look back at that season last year, we've got -- | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
we have haemorrhaged a lot of good players. People have come then, | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
we've got a lot of good young guys who came in on the last few weeks. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
We had a great atmosphere out there, you cannot beat the intensity of | :22:21. | :22:27. | |
that great -- game. Typically the progress for the first time and | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
Derry had the rest of the summer to ponder what might have been. -- | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
In less than a fortnight's time Ireland's Men's Hockey team | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
will play their opening game at the Rio Olympics. | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
It will be the first time in over a century that | :22:41. | :22:42. | |
Ireland has had a side in the Olympic hockey competition. | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
Nigel Ringland reports, as we continue our countdown | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
The moment 108 years in the making for Irish hockey as they became the | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
first Irish team to make an Olympics in any sport since 1948. The | :22:56. | :23:04. | |
qualification is just the first step. The squad is not going to Rio | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
to make up the numbers. We have all played in big tournaments, obviously | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
not the Olympics which will bring extra media coverage and more | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
interest home but we have played against these teams before. We have | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
played against these teams on the big occasions in the qualifiers for | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
instance the Europeans. It would be the same job for us. We'll have to | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
get used to back games experience. We saw how the Northern Ireland and | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
the Republic of Ireland fans got behind the football teams and it was | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
amazing for the teams. If we get the country is behind the team, the | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
first team for 68 years is pretty special. McGee scorers this time. | :23:51. | :24:03. | |
Ireland take the lead. When in the bronze medal in the European | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
Championships has raised the level of expectation for the squad but to | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
make the quarterfinals in real they will have to beat teams higher | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
ranked in the world. We have the toughest group but we're going to | :24:13. | :24:20. | |
really tart -- target the Indian games. Canada are ranked below was | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
so we hope to get three points. Germany and Holland, we have beaten | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
Germany in recent years but the look sharper the moment. We will try and | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
get a point or two against those two teams. That is no lack of self | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
belief in the squad, they are one of the fittest teams. Medal is not out | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
the question. To go to the Olympics are not in friend medal would be | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
unwise. We have to go there and try and relive that dream. If everybody | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
performs to the best of their ability, I have no doubt this group | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
can get a medal. That would be the best way to raise the profile of | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
hockey in Ireland. 100 years has been a long wait. It will be an | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
exciting couple of weeks for the Irish hockey team. Lots of Olympic | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
coverage for years to come in the next month. It is the talk -- return | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
of our raw Alan Campbell in the news report tomorrow. | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
Good evening. That calm summer weather has been in short supply | :25:24. | :25:38. | |
this year. Not much improvement this week. We have some really sharp | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
showers as we went through this afternoon. Tonight as the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
temperatures drop away, that should switch the shower is often a time. A | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
largely dry night. Cooler and fresher than of late. Temperatures | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
in rural spots will dip down to single figures. Tomorrow start of | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
cloudy but dry but that is rain later on. Lovely Weatherford ducks. | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
This is the picture you will be waking up to tomorrow. Was the | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
drive, the odd shower first thing, especially in the east of Northern | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
Ireland. A reasonably dry day. By the afternoon talk temperatures of | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
16 or 17 degrees. In those temperatures we will start to say a | :26:23. | :26:26. | |
few more showers fishing in across the North and west during the late | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
afternoon and early evening. -- pushing in. The rain becomes heavier | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
overnight, spreading into all parts. It will move out of the way during | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
the night-time hours. Another reasonable and cool night. We have a | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
real mess of weather systems heading in a rare -- in our direction of the | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
next few days. Every day will have a bit of rain and some days will have | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
more than others. Thursday is the one to watch out for in this | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
unsettled week of weather with those showers continuing. Thursday the | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
rain will be pretty heavy. Wednesday not too bad, at least during the | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
day, largely dry. Temperatures around 18 degrees. Rain again in the | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
evening. That rain will continue on Thursday. A very different feel to | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
the day then. Things start to brighten up by the time we get to | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
the end of the week, still cooler than we would like for this time of | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
the year. Not too bad. Our late summary is at half past | :27:30. | :27:32. | |
