in the programme. First to Lisburn, and while | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
the police say the death of a local man is suspicious, | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
there are few details about how he died as they await the findings | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
of a post mortem examination. Gerry Mulligan's body was found | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
in a car close to his home A man was later arrested | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
on suspicion of murder. This is the street where | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
the man's body was found. The police were called | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
to Limehurst Way in Lisburn yesterday afternoon | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
following the discovery. The dead man has been named | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
locally as Gerry Mulligan. It is understood he was in his 60s. | :01:49. | :02:02. | |
Neighbours said he lived alone and had a small business selling cars | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
from his property. The police are currently awaiting | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
results of a postmortem, however it has been indicated that there is one | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
male being treated in hospital They do, however, | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
suggest that there is a Certainly, this area | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
and the community is a very settled area and one where everybody goes | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
about their business quietly. It is not yet clear | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
how the man died. But his death is being treated as | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
suspicious. The police investigation | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
appears to be focused on a backyard at the bottom | :02:35. | :02:35. | |
of this alleyway, where a forensics It is understood the yard | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
belonged to the man who Neighbours say he had lived | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
here since he was a child and was I've been thinking of | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
it all night and all He was such a quiet man and | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
everybody really liked him. He would take you down the road, or | :02:52. | :03:05. | |
anything. I can't quite take it in, liked. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
A 44-year-old man is still being questioned on suspicion of | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
The police do not believe there is any paramilitary | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
A jury has heard harrowing details of the death | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
of a man who'd been beaten, left to die and then | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
The trial into the murder of Owen Creaney in Craigavon two | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
years ago was told how one of the accused had allegedly | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
confessed to a friend that she'd gone mad and hit a man, | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
jumped on his stomach and jumped on his head. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
25-year-old Shaunean Boyle of Edenderry Park in Banbridge, | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
and 29-year-old Stephen Thomas Hughes | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
At the time of the deaf, the two accused, lived, along with two | :03:57. | :04:11. | |
children with -- at Moyraverty Court. This is where the remains of | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Owen Creaney were found in a green wheelie bin. At Belfast Crown Court | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
today, the jury in the trial heard the evidence of one young woman. Maa | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
raid McGuigan a friend Shaunean Boyle, recounted a telephone | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
conversation they had had. She told the court. | :04:33. | :04:49. | |
Shaunean Boyle then asked for a lend of a carpet cleaner as there was a | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
stain on the white cop in. She then told the court how her friend had | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
asked her to call around to the house where she and Stephen Hughes | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
lived after she finished work. When she arrived at the house she said | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
that Stephen Hughes, Shaunean Boyle and her young son were in the living | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
room. She was brought upstairs to see Owen Creaney, who was lying on a | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
sofa in the bedroom. She described the man's breathing as not to normal | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
and said there was yellow bruising to his face and then there was foam | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
coming out of his mouth. She said the smell in the room had nearly | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
made her sick. She then told the court that she left the house and | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
said that over the course of the evening she had told them several | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
time to call an ambulance. She said she was told that Stephen Hughes was | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
afraid of the police. The next morning, she called again and heard | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
that Owen Creaney was dead. She said Shaunean Boyle asked her if she had | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
any petrol. She said that her car was the easel. Shaunean Boyle then | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
asked if it burned -- was diesel. After the telephone call, she | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
contacted the police and her father. Shaunean Boyle's lawyer asked the | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
witness if she remembered getting a text on a Saturday morning in which | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
his client had denied the murder. She said she did not. The trial | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
continues. Four men have appeared in court | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
charged with terrorism offences. They were arrested last week | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
by detectives investigating alleged dissident republican activity | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
and following the discovery Amidst heavy security | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
here at Craigavon court, the four men | :06:30. | :06:40. | |
were lead into the dock, some of them | :06:41. | :06:41. | |
giving thumbs up signs to their One of the men, Luke O'Neill, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
22, from Silverwood Greene in Lurgan, faces a charge | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
of attempting to murder police officers sometime between the 31st | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
of August His other charge followed | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
the discovery of an armour piercing The other three men, | :06:53. | :07:01. | |
22-year-old from Lurgan, a 24-year-old from Lurgan | :07:02. | :07:15. | |
and a 46-year-old from Dungannon, were charged | :07:16. | :07:16. | |
with targeting a former member | :07:17. | :07:17. | |
of the security forces. A detective Sergeant said he could | :07:18. | :07:28. | |
link all the men with the charges linked to them. | :07:29. | :07:30. | |
It was said that police observed the car | :07:31. | :07:32. | |
doing loops around the home of a former member of the security | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
One of the defendants' fingerprints was found on a camera | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
During a bail application, it was said that Shane Reynolds had a long | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
criminal record but it was revealed in court that they had the wrong | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
details because he had never been arrested before. Police also | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
revealed that so far they have not been able to find the camera. All | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
four men were remanded in custody. As they were led from the dock and | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
when they left the courthouse in a prison van and their supporters | :08:02. | :08:02. | |
clapped and cheered. Some specialists in retail say | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Belfast needs to attract more Their report also claims that | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
a John Lewis department store would be a major catalyst | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
in rejuvenating shopping Here's our business correspondent | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
Julian O'Neill. According to the experts, Belfast | :08:16. | :08:29. | |
ranks a pretty lowly 16th in comparison to other UK cities in the | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
quality shops. Retail needs a new lease of life, and here, on Royal | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
Avenue, is a prime example where change is needed. A report to the | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
council says Belfast falls well below other cities in terms of | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
luxury or high-end retail. There are gaps in the high Street which | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
visitors can notice. In Manchester we have Selfridge's and then in | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
Newcastle various clinics and they are the big department stores. -- | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
varies Fenwicks. In Belfast I wouldn't say we have that. I like it | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
here in Belfast, it is very compact and there is a lot of different | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
range, and it has been good. Analysts believe Belfast is playing | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
catch up. The report says over 200 brands are missing from Belfast. | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
John Lewis would be a major catalyst in uplifting retail fortunes. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
Potentially driving up city shops spending by 17%. Should John Lewis | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
prefer spruce field reports suggest that the Belfast retail income would | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
drop by an initial 9%, the equivalent of about ?47 million per | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
year. It is a scenario that city retailers want avoided. John Lewis, | :09:48. | :09:55. | |
Brian Thomas, we don't mind, we want to be supporting on the business | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
community to develop and making it a great place for people to come in | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
and spend time. John Lewis has always been seen as favouring of | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Belfast although no planning application is presently on the | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
table, but from this report Belfast is signalling it is not giving up on | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
a new department store. John Lewis is being actively courted. There is | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
a retail element to a major plan called Royal exchange, a ?400 | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
million regeneration scheme between the Royal Avenue and Cathedral | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Quarter. Its owners, as well as the Council, would dearly love a big | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
name anchor tenant. There's plenty still to come on | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
the programme. We've | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
details of a new plan to increase Long awaited plans to relax alcohol | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
licensing laws moved a step closer today, | :10:40. | :10:52. | |
with the proposals being The changes will mean some extra | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
drinking time but they don't go as far as many in the hospitality | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
industry would like. Our Economics and Business Editor | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
John Campbell is here. What are the main proposals? I | :11:02. | :11:12. | |
should say they are fairly minor proposals and they will not be a big | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
radical change with us having all-night continental style | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
drinking. Looking at the graphics, the main changes are that we will be | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
able to serve until 2am on 12 occasions per year basically meaning | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
that there is a late licence once a month. The latest is currently one | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
a.m., so it is an extension until two a.m.. The second part is that | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
drinking uptime is extended from half an hour to an hour. Those are | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
the changes, but they are not huge. They had been proposed quite a while | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
now and many people might ask why it is so modest. This has been floating | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
around for four years, and even a decade to get this stage. I think | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
the answer is to do with an age of alcohol. Yes, it allows lots of | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
people do have a good time but also brings with it social problems so it | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
means that such -- progress has been cautious and slow. Also as the | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
minister responsible for licensing laws were saying today, there are | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
religious matters to be considered around some areas of licensing. The | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
Republic of Ireland doesn't allow any opening on Good Friday and | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
that's not the approach we have in Northern Ireland so there have been | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
modest changes proposed in the bill, but what I would say is there would | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
not be an Easter holiday in Northern Ireland unless it was grounded upon | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
the religious aspect, so that has to be respected by the people involved | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
in the hospitality trade. As we said earlier, not everyone is happy about | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
this. What has been the reaction? The hospitality trade have waited | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
for a long time to get here so they are happy that something is | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
happening but they would prefer those late licences rather than | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
being monthly, they would be available every weekend. The main | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
opposition parties have also said that the measures do not go far | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
enough. On a separate matter, the possible fallout from Brexit and the | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
news that some money might be logjam. Yes, there was a big | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
question over lots of European funding due over the next five years | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
so the Chancellor of the Exchequer said it was OK, as long as you have | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
your application sorted by the 23rd of November the Treasury will | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
underwrite it, even after Brexit, we will pay. There has been a rush to | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
get applications in by that deadline but today the finance minister said | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
that there were ?120 million worth of grants logjam in the system. He | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
said he did not want to start a blame game about why it is but I | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
understand the issue is to do with the cross-border nature of the money | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
and the UK Government will say they will underwrite it, but the Irish | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
government position is a bit more uncertain. They would be may be | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
reluctant to commit to the schemes because it's not clear if they will | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
get money from the EU to pay for them after Brexit, and at the same | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
time the EU would be reluctant to get involved in funding matters | :13:54. | :13:56. | |
because that is the part of the negotiations still to come when the | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
Prime Minister triggers article 15, so lots of convocations in the | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
story. -- article 15. The DUP has denied it blocked | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
the publication of a report commissioned last year which listed | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
20 ways Brexit could The report was compiled by officials | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
in the Office of the First and Deputy First Minister but not | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
published before the referendum. It has been obtained through | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
a Freedom of Information request. Here's our political correspondent | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Gareth Gordon. Leave all remained was the biggest | :14:27. | :14:38. | |
question posed to voters in a generation and it divided our two | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
biggest executive parties, the DUP and Sinn Fein. But it has emerged | :14:43. | :14:45. | |
that they had information which was never shown to the public, until | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
now. A report on the possible effects on Brexit in Northern | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Ireland was compiled by Stormont officials in May of last year. The | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
report said the immediate financial impact was likely to be negative | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
with the loss of billions of euros in funding. It claimed Northern | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
Ireland might be less attractive for foreign investment from companies | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
wanting to do business within the European Union. A lack of subsidies | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
would put farmers and agriculture related industries at a severe | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
disadvantage, and it warned the cost of cross-border trade and economic | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
cooperation would increase. The report never saw the light of day, | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
but does that really matter? From my perspective the arguments had been | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
made anyway by leaders of political parties in favour of remain, | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
including ourselves and Sinn Fein through the course of the campaign. | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
The other executive parties at the time say they never even saw the | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
document. We had a missed opportunity in terms of having a | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
proper discussion. We needed to have a better public debate on Northern | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Ireland. The DUP denies the chance. We did not block it, and the fact is | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
that some of the predictions made in the document saying that Northern | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
Ireland would suffer an immediate economic id have been proven to be | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
false as that is not the case. There was not a single positive thing in | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
that report, which is why it was discounted. But the journalist who | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
obtained the report through a Freedom of information request has a | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
different view. The negotiations have yet to take place several of | :16:20. | :16:22. | |
the potential locations identified by this group of experts may yet be | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
barriers that we are yet to cross. The opposition raised the issue in | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
the assembly today. Mr Speaker, you might perhaps further consider | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
whether the non-publication of this document represented a breach of the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
ministerial code with regard to openness. The speaker said it was | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
not a matter for him. Of course, a majority of people in Northern | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
Ireland voted to remain in the EU in any case. Whether this document | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
would have made any difference we will never know. | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
For years money has been pumped into the conservation | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
But the numbers still appear to be falling. | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
So under a new plan up to 50 farmers will be asked to manage their land | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
for the good of the waders like curlew and lapwing, | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
and in doing so they will get an income. | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
Here's our Agriculture and Environment Correspondent | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
Simon Bolelli is a -- Donna Lee is a beef farmer. Half of his holding has | :17:18. | :17:33. | |
its feet in Loch na -- Lough Neagh. It's hard to make a living here. But | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
it is great around for the breeding waders that live along the shore. | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
That is why Simon has been asked to sign up to a new scheme to improve | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
their habitat. It's as much about what you don't do as it is what you | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
do. So the grazing at particular times of year, like the nesting | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
period, that is very much a no-no. It has long had a protection as a | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
place that is special for birds but with millions pumped in to | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
compensate -- conservation, the numbers are still continue to fall. | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
The word has sometimes been piecemeal. The strategy will attempt | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
to pay farmers to manage the land for the good sniper, lapwing and | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
Pirlo. The previous scatter-gun approach was clearly not working, so | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
the new ways to actually focus the investment into these priority | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
natural areas where we know that varies good quality habitat there | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
and reasonable numbers of waders there, and to try and preserve them. | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
What is the financial incentive to get involved in this kind of scheme? | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
Depending on the ground you have, it could be worth up to ?1000 per | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
hectare per year. Jerry Darby's job is to get more refiners like Simon | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
-- farmers like Simon signed up so when the new consultation opens in | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
the spring they are ready to take advantage of it. | :19:05. | :19:07. | |

broadcaster Paddy O'Flaherty, who has died after a | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
His career spanned news and arts programmes and he was a talented | :19:12. | :19:23. | |
musician, as Robbie Meredith reports. | :19:24. | :19:24. | |
He was one of the most distinctive and most respected | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
In a career spanning decades, Paddy O'Flaherty | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
was often on the frontline as a news reporter. | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
A few seconds later he had to be restrained again. As he struggled, | :19:44. | :19:55. | |
the bomb outside exploded. The people were starting to scream, and | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
I stood up and looked around and it was pretty dark but I could see | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
people huddled together in corners and people were on the ground. The | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
screaming just went on and on. His job was to be the eyes and ears of | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
the audience, and he did that through some of the most difficult | :20:14. | :20:15. | |
days in the history of Northern Ireland. His friend and former BBC | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
producer Charlie Warmington first worked with him in the mid-70s. He | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
had that beautiful honey tinted voice, yet very base and musical. | :20:27. | :20:36. | |
And Paddy was a highly accomplished musician presenting many programmes | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
about his beloved country music. The first meeting I would have had | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
with Paddy would have been as a He played the country fiddle, | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
sang the country song, and he was one of the real | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
authentic country singers. Tributes have come from people | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
from all walks of life. First Minister Arlene Foster called | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
him a gentle person, while his former BBC colleague Wendy Austin | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
said he was a great reporter. And he knew how to combine work with | :21:06. | :21:17. | |
pleasure. Paddy O'Flaherty, living in hope. Paddy O'Flaherty, who will | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
be fondly remembered here at the BBC. | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
Here's Gavin Andrews, and the teams have now assembled | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
at Hazelteen for this week's Ryder Cup. | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
Yes, fresh from his 11 and a half million dollar Fed Ex Cup | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
win Rory McIlroy has joined up with European team in Minnesota. | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
Tonight, the players will be given a motivational talk by former | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Ireland rugby captain Paul O'Connell who has invited | :21:47. | :21:48. | |
Today, practice got underway ahead for the contest | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
against America at Hazeltine, Stephen Watson is there. | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
When the European team's star player is in red-hot form no wonder his | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
captain looks so happy. Darren Clarke first met a ten-year-old Rory | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
McIlroy 17 years ago. Now the two are side-by-side on the biggest | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
stage in goal. He's been fantastic. There's a lot of motivational quotes | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
upon the wall, and they have been special for him but also special to | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
Europe as well. Years of iconic sporting stars and I've been in | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
constant touch with him and that is the thing I've liked so far. He's | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
definitely very organised and he bounces things off make every now | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
and again and I'm glad to have that relationship, that he trusts me | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
another one thinks highly of me that I can make a difference. And that | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
could be key as there are six debut players in the European side, and | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
the skipper is determined to enjoy this unique experience. The Ryder | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
Cup is a very, very special event to be part of, let alone to be picked | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
to be captain, and to be able to lead out that team and be captain of | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
hopefully a winning Ryder Cup team is a huge honour. Two years on I'm | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
one of the most experienced on the team and I think it's up to a few of | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
us who have played a few Ryder cups to be the leaders and be a voice in | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
the room or just lead by example on the course. I feel it is that time | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
for me to step up and take that on my shoulders and tried to be one of | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
the leaders of the team and I'm ready for that responsibility. And | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
ready, he says, to help Darren Clarke deliver what would be a | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
record-breaking fourth win in a row for Europe. | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
Rugby, and Ulster centres Stuart McCloskey, Stuart Olding | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
and Luke Marshall will miss Saturday's Pro12 game | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
against the Ospreys in Belfast through injury. | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
But the league leaders have plenty of cover according to Darren Cave, | :23:56. | :23:57. | |
who scored in last Friday night's win away to Glasgow. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
I think we have had a backline is as good before but maybe not so much | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
depth. That is the one thing. Every game we play we look at the players | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
not playing and that is the most staggering thing, particularly in | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
the backs. You look at the injured back line and it's always pretty | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
spectacular as well. At the end of the day, no one player wins the | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
league and you contribute when you can and you could play every week, | :24:26. | :24:28. | |
but we try and push each other to make each other better and when you | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
get the opportunity to play you help the team win. | :24:33. | :24:33. | |
Ireland's cricket team were well beaten by Australia in today's | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
one-day international in South Africa. | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
The Aussies are currently ranked number one in the limited overs | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
It all started so well. A super shot. Captain William Porterfield | :24:40. | :24:54. | |
won the toss, elected to bat and he and Paul Stirling got island off to | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
a steady start. But once they were removed the rest of the Ireland | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
innings creaked. The steady loss of wickets and a non-competitive final | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
total of 198 all out. The Australians replied and Tim Murtagh | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
put a stop to the aggressive David Warner but the run chase was always | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
a comfortable one with a second century wicket partnership from | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Khawaja and Smith. It was not island's day in the field, but a | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
comfortable Australian victory by nine wickets -- it was not island's. | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
Finally, Derry City play Shamrock Rovers tonight | :25:30. | :25:30. | |
at the Brandywell as they look to secure European | :25:31. | :25:32. | |
We'll have the result on our later bulletin. | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
Now the weather forecast, and I thought it was unlucky to open up an | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
umbrella indoors. It is, but it's part of public art | :25:39. | :25:45. | |
in a well-known alleyway, but thankfully we didn't leave the | :25:46. | :25:48. | |
umbrellas and people were tweeting as impression -- pictures of their | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
washing drying on the line. Some sunshine tonight, and overnight it | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
will be largely dry and quite windy so some people are looking to go | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
towards the north coast to spot the Northern lights, and if you're | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
headed that way, do wrap up warm because it will be dusty. Most other | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
places are 12 or 13 degrees and that sets us up a warmer day tomorrow, | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
unseasonably warm to the time of year. But it's going to stay quite | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
windy and to begin with although it will be a dry start we will have | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
patchy and drizzle moving across in the morning. -- patchy rain. There | :26:22. | :26:28. | |
will be brighter weather developing, and 20, maybe 21 degrees well above | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
average for the time of year. If you're travelling tomorrow, the more | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
unsettled conditions will be across Scotland, quite windy, and heavy | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
rain as well. South of that, some rain for the north-west of England | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
and Wales with the best of the sunshine in London with highs of 22 | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
degrees. Across Ireland, a lot of cloud, but quite warm, 22 degrees, | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
but look out of the rain in the Atlantic heading our way late | :26:58. | :26:59. | |
tomorrow afternoon and into the evening. Some of the rain will be | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
heavy and it will come with stronger winds. Tomorrow night we are likely | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
to see gales along the north coast, 50 or 60 mph, and also quite gusty | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
inland so we might see tree branches reaching the roads. Nine or 10 | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
degrees is the low tomorrow night, so slightly cooler. As we go into | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Thursday, stronger winds coming across and it will be a cooler day | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
with 13 or 14 degrees. Some of the showers will also come with thunder | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
and lightning but there will be sunshine in between. As we make our | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
way towards Friday the weekend, noticeably cooler but it won't be | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
dried as you might need the umbrella. Goodbye. | :27:43. | :27:44. |
