Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Storm want flies in with a rescue deal to save the daily New York | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
flight from Belfast. They call for fair treatment for | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Armed Forces veterans. It could be the end of the road for | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
traffic here at the dark edges. I'm live at Belfast City Hall, as | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
thousands of fans turn out to welcome home our boxing hero. | :00:47. | :00:52. | |
Ireland's first Olympic medal in rowing boat disappointment for | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Coleraine's Alan Campbell. And will the rain stay away | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
for the Ulster Grand Prix? First to that deal to save | :00:57. | :00:58. | |
Northern Ireland's only direct daily flight service between Belfast | :00:59. | :01:12. | |
and New York operated The BBC can reveal that | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
financial assistance, believed to be in the region | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
of ?9 million over three years, is to be provided, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
most of it coming from Stormont. The New York route is highly prized. | :01:24. | :01:35. | |
The US is the local economy's biggest inward investor and the very | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
real prospect of losing United has required emergency action. An aid | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
package worth millions has been put together quickly after United | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
earmarked Belfast as one of its permanent UK departures. Newcastle | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
have lost their service and United were looking at the potential of | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
pulling of the routes. Essentially that was it. By Friday night, two | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
weeks ago, we'd lost it. It was a huge Northern Ireland team effort to | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
get it back. United had believed its jet could have been more profitable | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
on an internal US food but it's about turn comes having thought to | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
have secured assistance totalling ?9 million, most of it coming from the | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
executive. The importance of it, I made a recommendation and I'm | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
pleased the Deputy First Minister has signed off on that | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
recommendation. We've put a package in place that allows us to keep this | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
very important route in place. This is not the first time there has been | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
political intervention in order to secure the New York route. When | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
United's commitment wobbled in a few years back, the executive responded | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
by abolishing air passenger tax on long haul flights, a move which cost | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
it more than ?2 million a year. Money talks but so too did Unionist | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
MPs lobbying government and Congressman, telling them Northern | :03:07. | :03:13. | |
Ireland plc needed the connection. This is a great, news story from | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
Northern Ireland. This could have been lost and imagine the outcry if | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
this service had been lost. The finger-pointing and jabbing that | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
would have gone on. Once again, Northern Ireland struggles on the | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
long haul market have been highlighted. Other airlines are | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
being pursued. Keeping the only one we have now has an even bigger price | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
tag. A homecoming celebration | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
is being held in Belfast for the boxer Carl Frampton | :03:43. | :03:44. | |
following his latest He became the WBA Featherweight | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
champion in New York last week, two years after securing a world | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
super-bantamweight crown. That victory in Brooklyn turned Carl | :03:52. | :04:13. | |
Frampton into a global boxing superstar but he is very much | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
unashamedly a Belfast boy. In a moment, we will be speaking to the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
man himself but this occasion brings back memories of 31 years ago, when | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
his manager, Barry McGuigan, returned with a title. Mark Simpson | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
has been reflecting up on that occasion. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
He was the People's Champion, admired and adored in Belfast by | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
fans of all ages from all parts of the city. Even though he wasn't a | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Belfast boy himself, 31 years ago, Barry McGuigan brought the city to a | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
standstill. Thanks for coming down. It's great to be here. Fast forward | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
three decades and Carl Frampton is the new hero. With by McGuigan, his | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
manager, at his side. As he arrived inside Belfast City Hall ahead of | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
tonight's celebration, outside, his fans explained why they love him. He | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
is from Tigers Bay. Super-duper. And why not? What is it about Carl | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
Frampton? He's gorgeous. He is a man who has brought everything to | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
Belfast. His brought the best thing to Belfast that anybody has. Him and | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
George Best. He's up there with him. And a big crowd turned out in | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Belfast tonight to see their new, local hero. | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
A fantastic reception here from all of the funds. Many of the fans made | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
the trip to New York. How humbling is it to receive a reception like | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
that for you and your achievements? I cannot see many people here, | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
because I'm not that tall! But it seems like there is a lot. It's | :05:55. | :06:02. | |
amazing. When I was against Martinez, it's even better. What has | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
been the reaction since your stunning victory? Great. On social | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
media, there's been a lot of positivity but I've not done a lot | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
since I come back home. I've kept my head down. This is the first time | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
I've got out amongst the people to see the support I have. It's | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
absolutely fantastic. He spent a few days in New York with your family | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
afterwards. I'm nice was it to have downtime? Everybody wanted a piece | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
of you. You became a global superstar in boxing. That was great. | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
I hadn't seen the family for five weeks. Christine couldn't make it | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
tonight, she's got flu. How are you doing, Christine? I hope she's | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
watching. And the kids, obviously. I was glad to get home. It got a bit | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
hectic in New York and I was glad to get home. Everybody wants to know, | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
what next for Carl Frampton? There is a Santa Cruz rematch potentially | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
happening. Will that be your next fight? It could be. There will be | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
discussions with his team pretty soon. I'm ready to fight big names. | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Santa Cruz would be another great fight. Selby is a potential | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
opponent. Whoever it is, I want a big fight. We've always said you | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
would love to fight at home and how achievable is that? It depends who | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
it is. I want to fight before the end of the year. I want to Christmas | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
of with Christine and the kids. Summer next year, we could do... The | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
next fight could be here. Maybe bring it to England somewhere, a | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
bigger stadium. Now I am the champion again. We can bring the big | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
boys to Belfast. I'm going to let you go because you are going to | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
become up on stage. Thanks for joining us live on the BBC. We will | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
be life back year little bit later in the programme and will hear from | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
his manager, Barry McGuigan, and his trainer. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
The Ulster Unionist Doug Beattie says the First and Deputy First | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
Ministers are letting down current and former service personnel by not | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
fully implementing the Armed Forces Covenant. | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
The UK government describes the Covenant as a promise | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
from the nation to treat serving personnel, veterans | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
Doug was awarded the military Cross for his service in Afghanistan. As a | :08:20. | :08:35. | |
soldier in the Royal Regiment. Now, as a member of the assembly, he's | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
fighting the corner of his former comrades and those currently | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
serving. He says the first and Deputy First Ministers are not doing | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
enough to fully implement the UK Armed Forces government. This aims | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
to make sure service personnel past and present are treated fairly, be | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
it commercially, medically or within their community. I am laying the | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
blame purely on the doorstep of our first ministers. It's up to them to | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
make sure this is fermented. What are we talking about here? Getting | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
an individual who can sit on the Armed Forces government reference | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
group and fight for the case for our veterans community in Northern | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
Ireland. That's all we are asking for. If they don't want to do it, I | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
will do it. We've seen somebody who can sit there and say this is a | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
problems we face and this is what we want to do to rectify that issue. We | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
are not looking for advantage. We don't want to be disadvantaged. The | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
War memorial is placed in times cities but across Northern Ireland | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
are public symbols of acknowledgement of those who have | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
served. But this covenant cuts right to the day-to-day lives of past and | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
present members of the Armed Forces. The covenant has not been adopted | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
here and the Stormont executive office says there has been no joint | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
agreement to appoint a representative to the group. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
However, this does not preclude charities and community groups from | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
accessing the fund and liaison arrangements are in place in areas | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
such as health care, education and housing. The problem is, to get full | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
implementation, we have to amend section 75 of the Northern Ireland | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
act because that at the moment is a barrier to full implementation. The | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
irony is, it was the Ulster Unionist party who introduced section 70 | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
five. Jeffrey Donaldson is hopeful the law can be changed at | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
Westminster to allow full mentation of the covenant before the end of | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
the year. A black Audi A four car belonging to | :10:33. | :11:02. | |
Stephen Martin was found parked near Donegal. He has been missing three | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
weeks. It's in the last couple of days that it was discovered that | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Stevie was missing and the searchers have started here. There have been | :11:13. | :11:21. | |
searchers on going every day. And also, not only the official | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
searchers but family and friends have been as well. It's very sad for | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
everybody. Originally from the thud, Stephen | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
Martin's stage name is rainy boy sleep. He was viewed as many by a | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
rising star who had made several appearances at Glastonbury. Since he | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
has gone missing, the police have urged members of the public that if | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
they see someone fitting Stephen Martin's description to get in | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
touch. Friends and colleagues throughout the music industry have | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
also been sharing those appeals across social media. He's 6-foot | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
tall, of slim build with brown hair and facial stubble. We are following | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
up a number of unconfirmed sightings of the moment. As you can | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
appreciate, we are keeping all options open. It's important for the | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
family because it's a trying time for them. We've worked with our | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
partners at the coastguard and mountain rescue. The authorities | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
want to hear from anyone who can help with their enquiries. | :12:33. | :12:33. | |
It is very difficult for any of us to understand what it's like to be | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
one of the thousands of people here with dementia. | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
To help get a better understanding of the condition, | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
staff at a care home in Belfast have taken part in a training exercise | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
and our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly was also | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
there as they tried to mimic life with dementia. | :12:48. | :12:59. | |
A training session which allows staff to be transported into a world | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
that can be confusing and difficult. For some, that means living with | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
dementia. By using equipment that impairs the senses, attempting to do | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
everyday tasks becomes more difficult. But this is clever. The | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
aim is to encourage staff to look beyond the diagnosis and instead to | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
see the person. I cant even button my cardigan with these gloves on. Is | :13:28. | :13:32. | |
that what it is like to have dementia? People with dementia will | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
have difficulty with some sensations and touches one of them sensations | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
they will have difficulty with. The gloves simulate that and it's about | :13:40. | :13:42. | |
reinforcing those messages with the staff. They need to go that extra | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
yard to engage with people. As you have said to me before, it's all | :13:49. | :13:50. | |
about looking at the person. Absolutely. This is about putting | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
ourselves in their shoes, to experience what they are | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
experiencing. According to staff, demand for services is growing, as | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
is their knowledge for what they can do to help. I couldn't see or hear | :14:07. | :14:14. | |
at all so I could understand why you would get frustrated with the | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
simplest things. Do you think you might be more patient? Definitely. | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
Over 20,000 people here are living with dementia. For families, it's | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
all about coping. Three years ago, Doreen moved into care. Last week, | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
the couple celebrated 57 years of marriage. It gradually comes to your | :14:32. | :14:42. | |
notice that getting dressed, simple things, getting confused between | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
night and day and doing silly things, trying to communicate is | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
very difficult at times. Having spent several hours apart -- at Park | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
view, I was struck by how dementia can strike semi-different lives. | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
Everyone faces things in different ways. There is guilt involved for | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
people. We have to try and make sure the time they have with their | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
families is quality time. We want our residents to have a quality of | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
life. We want their well-being to increase and for them to live with | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
dementia, not suffer from it. Just like cancer, the stigma around | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
dementia is slowly being broken down. The conversation has started. | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
The challenge is to keep it going. Officials have announced a plan | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
to close to traffic - The tree-lined road near Armoy | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
in County Antrim has become a popular tourist attraction | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
and film set. Our north east reporter | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
Sara Girvin is there. Good evening. Talk of banning | :15:38. | :15:51. | |
traffic on this road has been ongoing for about the past year. | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
Ever since traffic started increasing and if you bushy trees | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
have been damaged. Back in January, two of the trees were felled by | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
storm Gertrude and the road had to close for a while. Two weeks ago, | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
another tree fell down because of high winds. The dark hedges has | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
become a huge draw for tourists, ever since it featured in game | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
thrones. It's very busy tonight with lots of tourists. There are lots of | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
big tour buses, navigating what is essentially a very narrow, rural | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
road. Parking is available at the bottom of the road but if people can | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
park here, that's what they are going to do. The trees behind the | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
200 years old and originally, they were 150 off. 19 remain and that's a | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
huge concern. Today, the infrastructure department said they | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
are at in the stages of consultation on banning cars here. Next year, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
cars on this road could be a thing of the past. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
Local museums threw open their doors today for what's called a 'teen | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
Our education correspondent Robbie Meredith found out | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
A familiar face but some people have never seen this famous money until | :17:07. | :17:18. | |
today. I've never been to a museum before. It's my first time and I | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
enjoyed it. Skip to be with the group. Its social. Farrell and his | :17:24. | :17:28. | |
friends have been sharing what they'd been interested in on the | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
museum's social media accounts. We've been tweeting about the museum | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
and stuff like that. We are having a good day. The Ulster Museum is one | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
of hundreds across the UK taking part in this scheme today. It is the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
first time many of the young people have come here as it has proved | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
incredibly popular. But not all museums are always so welcoming. | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
That's according to the scheme's founder. Museums often have a sign | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
at the door saying turn off your mobile phones, don't make noise, and | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
have to stand up everywhere you go. There are no seats. Teenagers love | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
to be on the phones, to chat and slouched and said. If museums allow | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
teenagers to do that, they will welcome more teenagers in. Like and | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
how Neo, making his first visit since primary school. -- Antonio. I | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
was always the last one round. I was always looking at the stuff. It was | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
always -- it is also a good place to catch a few poor command. | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
For the first time in Olympic history, Ireland have won | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
Stephen Watson is in Rio for BBC Newsline. | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
Thank you. What an occasion it has been for team Ireland. Their first | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
medal of the games, brothers Gary and Paul O'Donovan from Cork struck | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
silver and it's so could easily have been gold in the double sculls | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
class. It has been a disappointing day for one of Northern Ireland's | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
medallists from London 2012. There was an emotional end to Alan | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
Campbell's distinguished Olympic career. | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Heartbreak for Alan Campbell, the only athlete from Northern Ireland | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
to have a computer for Olympics. The row drained of signing off on a | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
high. But despite a valiant effort, he could only manage fourth. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Not the way he wanted it all to finish. I hold my head high, | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
definitely, without a doubt. Unfortunately, the fairy tale ending | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
is not to be this time. I didn't come here to make it places. I came | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
here to do a job. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be and I did | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
everything within my power to try and make it happen. There has been a | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
lot of sacrifice, not just on my behalf. I've had normal people that | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
have helped me along the way. Bobby Platt was one of my very first | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
coaches. Yeah, just incredible. Yeah, it's really tell but I have to | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
say, I been so, so lucky and I'm really thankful to those people, my | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
parents. I put it all out there. I did what I could do given the | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
circumstances. I'm very proud. Two brothers were entering the rowing | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
the time. The O'Donovan is one island's first medal in the sport. | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
We were disappointed we didn't come away with a gold medal. We did as | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
best we could. We were going all over the lane. | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
Celebrations for team Ireland on an historic day. | :21:09. | :21:20. | |
Two great personalities. Michael Coleman gets into action on Sunday. | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
In motorcycling, Michael Dunlop warmed up for Saturday's Ulster | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
Grand Prix by taken short of victory in the Superbike race last night. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
The race had to be red flagged after two laps but Dunlop was later | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
declared the winner ahead of others. Earlier, Dunlop had set the fastest | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
time for... Racing continues tomorrow and varies a programme | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
available of yesterday's highlights later tonight. In local football,... | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
Crusaders take on Linfield in the first heavyweight clash | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
of the new Danskebank Premiership tomorrow at Seaview. | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
The champions have won both of their opening games, | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
scoring ten goals, while Linfield are looking for a lift | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
after a disappointing draw at home to Coleraine on Wednesday. | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
Turn up against Crusaders, we will get well beaten so have to make sure | :22:17. | :22:24. | |
the players are lifted and ready. Complicating to go and get a result. | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
Two teams are fighting tooth and nail over the last few years at the | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
top end of the table. They are difficult games against the big | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
teams so you never call it. It is sometimes who turns up on the day. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
We go into the game with confidence. We will try and assert ourselves on | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
the game as best we can. We've got a good home record so we will get on | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
with it. That is it from a Sony radio this | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
evening. It's been a dream day for team Ireland's is. The disappointing | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
end for Alan Campbell but he can look back on his career with a great | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
deal of pride. He's been a great ambassador for Northern Ireland | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
sport. Back to Belfast City Hall and the | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
homecoming event for Carl Frampton. Thomas Kane is there. This is what | :23:18. | :23:24. | |
it's all about, the WBA featherweight title of the world | :23:25. | :23:34. | |
belt. The big news is that Carl Frampton has stolen the show on the | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
stage. Barry and Shane McGuigan are here as well. Barry, does it bring | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
back memories of 31 years ago? Without a doubt. An amazing turnout | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
for him. It's what he deserves. He such a great kid. He's a great moral | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
role model and has put his life into boxing. When you put your efforts | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
into it and you make the sort of efforts he makes, you deserve the | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
rewards when they can. Shane, thousands have turned up today. Tell | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
us about the hard work. He has been boxing 21 years, since he was seven. | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
Actually 22 years now. The sacrifice, being away from his | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
family, going to London and train, is a long road but it's incredible | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
when you look back at nights like this. He has created history and | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
become Northern Ireland's first-ever world champion. He will go down in | :24:33. | :24:41. | |
the history books. He would be hard to beat. What's next, Barry? He has | :24:42. | :24:51. | |
come out with it great point about getting there. There are important | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
opportunities for us but we have to make the right decisions. I don't | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
make these decisions without their help and support. We couldn't have | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
done it without the team that being so very close together and working | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
hard together. It's great we've achieved a bit of history and I | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
think he's an incredible talent and I think he is going to church even | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
an awful lot more. There is a rematch with Santa Cruz. Then, he | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
can jump up to superfeatherweight. The sky is the limit. Thanks for | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
joining us. I have a feeling that party is only getting started here. | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
I am sure you are right. The weekend is upon us and we're | :25:31. | :25:31. | |
in for some better weather. Angie Phillips is here | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
with her latest forecast. Yes, it looks as though it would be | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
fairly reasonable after some wet weather today. The reason for that | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
is we have a ridge of high pressure that is toppling in of the Atlantic | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
as we go into the weekend. It will not bring bundles of sunshine. I | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
think there is going to be a lot of cloud around. Those brisk winds | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
we've had today will use down a little bit. We are looking at a fair | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
amount of dry weather. We started out dry this morning. We even had | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
some sunshine in places, particularly towards the south-east. | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
22 degrees nearby. The day isn't ending on quite the same note. Some | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
damp patches around this evening. Still quite windy but the wind will | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
ease. Nevertheless, quite breezy through the course of the night and | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
that will continue to feed on. Temperature is not too bad. Fairly | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
mild generally. We have some dry gaps in between the showers and we | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
may get the odd clear interval but I don't think they're going to be | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
anything like last night. Quite a few people got a view of the meteor | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
showers. Look at all that. A fabulous picture of the Milky Way. | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
There is going to be more cloud around than that tonight and indeed | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
into tomorrow. We will still have the remnants of those showers moving | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
through, particularly through the first part of the day but they will | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
ease away sick in the afternoon, fewer of them. We may see a few | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
bright spells coming in here and there. It should brighten up and | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
temperatures should reach the mid-to high teens, maybe getting to 18 in | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
places. Not looking too bad for Ulster Grand Prix. Generally dry. | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
Very similar to tomorrow night, we hold onto a fair amount of dry | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
weather. Summer temperatures to tonight, maybe just a degree or so | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
lower. Sunday, a fair amount of pride but a better chance of bright | :27:37. | :27:37. | |
spells. | :27:38. | :27:39. |
