That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline... | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
A lightning strike on this house in Downpatrick - three generations | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Looking from the street and looking from the roof, I was sleeping there. | :00:25. | :00:37. | |
The man in charge of investigating the IRA agent called | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Stakeknife says he believes there will be prosecutions. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Price rises predicted, as a dispute continues | :00:43. | :00:46. | |

A victim of severe domestic abuse welcomes a Minister's promise | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
Thank you, and keep doing it, because the quicker you make this | :00:54. | :01:08. | |
happen, the more lives you are going to save. | :01:09. | :01:08. | |
Also on tonight's programme, our digital detox comes to an end | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
Day six, I get my smartphone back tomorrow. It feels like Christmas | :01:12. | :01:26. | |
Eve. Can Jonathan Rea be crowned World Superbikes champion with the | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
second year in a row? Join me for the latest in Spain. | :01:30. | :01:30. | |
And there's rain in the forecast this weekend, but sunshine too. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
I'll be back with more detail on those drier gaps. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
Three generations of a family fled their home early this morning | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
The strike caused a fire which badly damaged the house in Downpatrick. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
A grandfather, his son and two of his grandchildren were inside. | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
They spoke to our reporter Ita Dungan. | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
It was the thunder, really loud bang that will consult up. Grateful for | :02:01. | :02:10. | |
that. Somebody above has been giving us the message to get up. And the | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
Reilly family did get out. Joe, his son Paul and his 14-year-old son and | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
ten-year-old daughter. Six hours later Joe and Paul were back. The | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
morning still vivid. The next thing there was a cup of thunder and my | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
daughter came in. It will occur and she was quite frightened. We were | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
settling down again and the next think there was an almighty bang and | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
blast. Hard to describe. It felt very close. The electric went out | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
and the alarms went off and my daughter was screaming. My dad had | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
woken and he said there was something not right upstairs. It | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
turned out there was a little trap door in his room into the eaves of | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
the house and he opened it up and there was a fire. We had a fire | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
extinguisher in the kitchen that they thought they could use, but it | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
was pitch black and I couldn't find anything. I was going back to say we | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
can't get this sorted, let's get out. On the way past the living | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
room, we are standing in front of now, I went past the door and I saw | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
a large fire had just taken place in the corner of the television. How | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
did it start upstairs and then travelled down into the living room? | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
They reckon the lightning struck the aerial upstairs and faulty Cablelink | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
which went through the use of the house which was where the small fire | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
was in my father's room. They came down to the aerial socket behind the | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
TV in the living room. It is very sad to see this, it has been your | :03:43. | :03:52. | |
family home. Family home. It is terribly upsetting. A lot of memory. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
There are memories inside your head as well. Just things. I am not | :03:58. | :04:09. | |
worried about materials, don't get me wrong, I am not even worried | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
about the house. I am so glad that everybody is out and safe. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
A 23-year-old woman from County Tyrone has | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
died after a car crash between Londonderry and Strabane. | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
Caoimhe O'Brien was the only occupant of a blue Ford Focus car | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
which crashed just before midnight on the A5 Victoria Road. | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
Police officers investigating the incident have asked anyone | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
who noticed the car in the area to contact them. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
The dispute between the giant manufacturer, Unilever and some | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
of our local convenience stores is still unresolved. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
SuperValu, Mace and Centra have refused to accept a 10% price hike | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
in many big brand products, and so are no longer stocking them. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell asks | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
if it is the first sign of rising prices across the economy. | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
These popular brands could be disappearing | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Unilever say they've no choice but to increase prices. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
They blame the fall in the value of the pound, which puts up | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
the cost of importing ingredients and materials. | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
They want retailers, like these, to absorb some of that rising cost. | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
The retailers say that's asking too much, and so they won't | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
It is about ensuring that families don't pay any more for their grocery | :05:26. | :05:38. | |
bills, hard-working families are under enough pressure. That is what | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
it is all about. Stripped down all the talk about referendums and | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
multinationals, it is about ensuring working families get a fair deal for | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
the grocery bills. I hope that the negotiations will be successful. | :05:50. | :05:49. | |
Tesco have reached a deal with Unilever, although the details | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
However it's seems inevitable the price of a weekly shop | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
Just look at how much food the UK imports. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
More than a quarter comes from the EU, and the rest | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
A weaker pound makes those imports more expensive. | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
We also import lots of clothes and footwear. | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
The boss of Next says we can expect price rises there too. | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
If the pound devalues by a lot, prices of imported goods will go up | :06:25. | :06:32. | |
and I don't think there is any way around that. I don't think they will | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
go up by as much as people think and they will certainly not go up by as | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
much as the pound has devalued, but precisely because retailers will | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
negotiate as hard as they can. The last two years have | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
seen abnormally low Many economists think that era | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
is drawing to a close. But we have been having is | :06:45. | :06:56. | |
deflation, falling prices and consumer goods, food, fuel, energy | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
bills. What they think we will see is the following food and fuel | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
prices will reverse and they are in the process of reversing, they will | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
increase in 2017. Overall I think the consumer price index will go | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
above 2%. A falling pound will also | :07:13. | :07:13. | |
provide real opportunity for our exporters to grow sales | :07:14. | :07:15. | |
and develop new markets. So, in the long term it | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
should be good news. But in the short term it | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
will squeeze many household budgets. The head of an investigation into | :07:21. | :07:43. | |
the activities of the alleged army agent, Stakeknife, says he believes | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
it will lead to criminal prosecutions. Jon Boutcher who has a | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
team of 48 detectives on the case says he's been given "very clear | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
assurances" by the police, army and MI5 that they will fully co-operate. | :07:51. | :07:52. | |
As our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney reports, Mr Boutcher | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
has also met relatives of some of the people the agent is thought to | :07:56. | :07:56. | |
have killed. This is the man alleged to have been | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
the Army agent codenamed Stakeknife. Freddie Scappaticci | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
from West Belfast. He is alleged to have been a member | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
of the IRA's internal security unit and who had been involved | :08:08. | :08:15. | |
in more than 50 murders. This is a man leading the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
investigation into his activities. Jon Boutcher was appointed in June | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
and was in Belfast this week to meet relatives of some of those said | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
to have been killed by the agent. Speaking today he says the fact | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
that the agent known as Stakeknife is in a witness protection scheme | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
would not protect him That scheme is there | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
for their physical welfare. It is to make sure they can't come | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
to harm because there may be But it does not afford that | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
individual any immunity from any acts they have | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
committed in the past. To be very clear, whenever | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
I want to speak to anybody in the investigation, | :08:56. | :08:57. | |
that scheme and the fact someone may be in a witness protection scheme | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
does not protect them What about those agencies who | :09:01. | :09:10. | |
handled Stakeknife, the army and the police? A key sort any assurances | :09:11. | :09:18. | |
that they want closed doors or give you the access you need? Before I | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
even took this investigation, I made some enquiries. I have written to | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
those agencies having taken this formerly. But before I formally | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
accepted the investigation and subsequently, they have given me a | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
very clear and absolute reassurance they would cooperate with the | :09:37. | :09:37. | |
investigation. The activities of current and former | :09:38. | :09:38. | |
police officers, members of the Army and Security Service MI5 who worked | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
with the agent are also So too are members of the IRA | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
who may also have been I will be investigating any state | :09:45. | :10:01. | |
actors, Security Service, military, all these who may have been | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
responsible for directing, tasking, receiving information about what | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
happened to those victims, to understand what they did or did not | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
do. And if there is any evidence of criminal offences, we will capture | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
that evidence and present it when it goes on to any prosecution that may | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
be required. On the other side of that coin, whose members of the | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
internal Security unit operated in a way that led to these murders, those | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
murders were sanctioned and authorised, they were directed by | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
senior members of the IRA, so we will follow that evidence. After | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
meeting relatives of some of the people alleged to have been killed | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
by Stakeknife this week, John Boettcher expressed surprise that | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
they hadn't been interviewed by police before, and said meetings had | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
provided potentially important information. We will listen to what | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
I would describe as very significant evidence with regards to the people | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
responsible for these murders, that probably has never been heard | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
before. Do you expect to that there will be credible that criminal | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
charges at the end of this investigation? | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
I wouldn't be doing this investigation if I didn't believe | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
I could get the evidence to present a case to a public prosecutor | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
to see a trial of those who are responsible for this. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
So, I am determined to do everything I can to achieve that. | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
John Bouchier has assembled a team of 48 detectives to work in the | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
investigation. He says it is impossible to say how long it might | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
take and he has appealed to anyone with any information they may | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
believe to be useful to contact them. | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
Within the next year, Northern Ireland is to get a new law | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
to tackle psychological and emotional abuse. | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
Confirmation of the move by the Justice Minister Claire Sugden | :11:53. | :11:54. | |
has been welcomed by victims of domestic abuse, including | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
a mother who suffered for years at the hands of her violent partner. | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Our Political Correspondent Enda McClafferty has more. | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
Terri-Louise Graham knows all about the brutal | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
This is how she was left after being beaten by her ex-partner | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
He is now behind bars, and though her physical wounds have | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
gone, the mental scars are still there. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
The mental torture never ends. He is not here any more, he is in jail. He | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
is not getting it out until 2020 but I still hear noises, job, people | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
move their arms quickly beside me, I am startled. I can't walk anywhere | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
on my own because I have to have somebody with me because I can hear | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
footsteps and all sorts of things because I was attacked in so many | :12:34. | :12:35. | |
different ways. Incidents of domestic | :12:36. | :12:35. | |
abuse in Northern Ireland In the last 12 months, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
more than 28,000 cases That's an average of 78 every day, | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
which means police here respond to a domestic abuse incident | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
every 18 minutes. The majority of cases | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
don't make it to court, but that may a change when a new law | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
dealing with psychological abuse That news was confirmed | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
by the Justice Minister on the BBC's We have already begun the process in | :12:57. | :13:10. | |
terms of legislating with this. I will have to go to other areas in | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
terms of the Justice committee on how this will look, but I am | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
committed to bringing this forward. Laws of control will be outlawed in | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Northern Ireland within the next year. | :13:24. | :13:23. | |
But passing the law will be the easy part. | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
Enforcing it will much more difficult. | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
The experience from England and Wales shows that | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
although the law has been in place there for more than a year, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
only a small number of people have been prosecuted. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Brilliance that the Minister has been so clear and concise and that | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
he is going to deliver this, and it is going to have a far reaching | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
difference victims of domestic violence. | :13:48. | :13:48. | |
Marie Brown from Foyle Women's Aid welcomed the news, but she knows | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
getting cases to court will be the big challenge. | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
Training the police will be one of the challenges and getting an | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
understanding of just what the abuses and the damage it causes and | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
addressing it. I think this is a major step to truly addressing | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
domestic violence, to break that link in the future. | :14:13. | :14:13. | |
Terri Louise Graham found out this week her abuser | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
was turned down for parole, and won't be released until 2020. | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
She is hoping by then there will be greater legal protection | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
All this week, we've had reports looking at the impact of mobile | :14:21. | :14:32. | |
technology on our work and family lives. | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
Many people are now so dependent on their smartphones and wi-fi. | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
One of them is BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
I took away his smartphone last Friday. | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
But could he manage a digital detox week? | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Four out of five adults now use a smartphone. So, what impact is this | :14:51. | :15:16. | |
having on our lives? I know this is going to be very difficult for | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
you... Day one. To be honest it hasn't been as bad as I thought it | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
was going to be. Switch off your Wi-Fi, all internet for the next 48 | :15:28. | :15:35. | |
hours. Is using a smartphone too much bad for your health? I have | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
been to see a doctor. Try and set times where you do start leaving it, | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
leave it down at night and don't keep checking it. People don't | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
communicate any more. They don't talk any more. Would you not like to | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
have some apps? No, I don't even know what that is! It seems | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
inevitable that mobile technology will feature more and more in all | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
our working lives and it will take careful management to make sure it | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
doesn't become overwhelming. Last night we actually sat down here and | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
watch TV and had a cup of tea together and chatted. It was just | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
unusual. Day six, I get my smartphone back tomorrow. It feels | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
the Christmas Eve. Turn it back on again, three, two, one. Get your | :16:27. | :16:36. | |
devices back out. Now the moment Mark has been waiting for. Here is | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
your smartphone. What was the most difficult part of your detox week? | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Everything, I am not exaggerating. I looked at this thing about 100 | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
things a day if not more. If I had been at home watching BBC Newsline | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
tonight I would have had my rumour control in one hand and this in the | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
other hand so I needed a break and I got a break. Although I didn't enjoy | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
it very much I ended up sleeping a lot better. I don't know that was a | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
coincidence. The question everyone has been asking me, would I do it | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
again? Never. I would never do it again. They think in this | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
interconnected world, somebody may be even doing the job I am doing a | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
lot of people it is not practical. You need instant contact with other | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
people and the nude with you. I will never do a digital detox again if I | :17:24. | :17:32. | |
need to look less at this. Rather than a detox, I think I need a | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
digital diet. Well done. Yesterday we had the story | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
of Olivia the baby gorilla Now it seems the adorable infant has | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
a link with the fully-grown gorilla who made worldwide headlines | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
after smashing his way out To coin a phrase more familiar | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
to a Northern Ireland audience, this on-the-run gorilla caused quite | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
a stir when he legged Visitors said they were locked | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
inside a cafe until the It's since emerged that Kumbuka | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
was born in Belfast Zoo in 1997. The zoo has a very successful | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
breeding programme for these endangered western lowland gorillas, | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
as we saw yesterday with the latest Despite sharing the same birth place | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
on the slopes of Cavehill, Once confined to the sunny beaches | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
of California or Hawaii, surfing is now a sport that's | :18:24. | :18:36. | |
literally on the crest This weekend the Irish Surfing | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
Association is celebrating its 50th birthday, and as Gordon Adair | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
discovered at Rossnowlagh in County Donegal, it's been quite | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
a journey from the early days when a handful of surfers | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
used homemade boards. It is not exactly barmy, but for the | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
hardier surfers around the globe, Ireland's wild Atlantic coast is | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
still a huge draw. Irish surfing officially turns 50 this weekend. | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
Middle age maybe but that this still looking good. The mid 60s and a very | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
young Alan and his sister braved the chill of Donegal Bay. Half a century | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
on, Rocky and other pioneers of surfing. We gather at Rossnowlagh | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
Beach to celebrate 50 years of a sport that has grown beyond | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
imagining. In the early days we would travel around Ireland, if you | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
saw a car with a surfboard you knew what it was. The first surf contest | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
in 1985. They would hardly recognise surfing at all. The Davis ?200 to | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
the European Championships. Now you go there and it has taken over the | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
whole area. We used to drive from the north, Enniskillen, Omagh, | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
fingers crossed it would be Surf, now you can predict in a few hours | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
whether it will arrive. No people come all over the world with their | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
surf boards. James spends his days coaching kids whose parents were | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
even born in 1966. Him and others like him, those intrepid early | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
surfers are heroes. Definitely. They started it all. Fair play to them. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Thank God they did because they made what is today the most amazing sport | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
out there. Surfing is going from strength to strength down here. It | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
has taken off in the past ten years. Surf schools down here, we have been | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
getting so busy even in the past year, it is really lifted off, since | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
the wild Atlantic and everything like that. | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
Ballyclare's Jonathan Rea is on his own wave of success, | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
and this weekend in Spain he's chasing motorcycling history. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
Mark Sidebottom is here with this evening's sport. | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
29 and on top of the world, Donna. | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
Jonathan Rea is on the cusp of becoming the first person | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
from Northern Ireland to retain the World Superbikes title. | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
The Ballyclare man goes into this weekend's penultimate | :21:09. | :21:10. | |
round of the championship with a 48-point cushion. | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Incidentally the last man to win back-to-back titles | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
From Jerez, here's BBC Newsline's Stephen Watson. | :21:20. | :21:30. | |
Preparing for practice ahead of what could be another momentous weekend | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
for Jonathan Rea. At the same venue last year he clinched his first | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
world title, no he is ready to do it again. -- now he is ready. You think | :21:43. | :21:50. | |
like a champion and you act like a champion, you want to be a champion | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
and after achieving what they did last year, it is all a little bit | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
more real, so I have got less stress to be honest, because they wanted so | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
last year, I only had to score six points. This year I am a lot more | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
reserved. What is going to be going to be. I will do my best. Jonathan | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
Rea has been in scintillating form again this season with 19 podiums | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
and nine wins. And with his family alongside him in Spain, he is | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
feeling relaxed and confident of fulfilling another lifelong | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
ambition. I dreamt of just being world champion. I achieved that and | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
then it was this fear of getting beaten. You are on the top right | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
now. You can't better that. Especially last season. The only way | :22:38. | :22:40. | |
to maintain that is keep winning so it is that fear of getting beaten | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
that motivates you. I am not being robotic right now but I am trying to | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
put it out of my brain and enjoy riding my bike and I know if that | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
happens I will be in with a shout. Jonathan Rea may have a comfortable | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
championship lead, but the temptation is still there to seal | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
the series in style. It is more important to get it over the line | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
than trying to do something really special, I am putting all my focus | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
in it. It is like the angel and the devil, the devil is saying let's go | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
and do it but the angel says you still have four races. It is fun but | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
you have to manage at the best way possible. It is exactly 30 years | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
since Northern Ireland had two riders, multiple world champions. | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
Can Jonathan Rea follow the likes of Joey Dunlop into the history books? | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
Rugby, Ulster's European campaign gets underway | :23:39. | :23:39. | |
Andrew Trimble, Luke Marshall, Stuart Olding and Ruan Pienaar | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
all return for the match away to Bordeaux. | :23:44. | :23:45. | |
But Les Kiss can't play all his big names. | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
It's the biggest game of the season so far, | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
but it's come too soon for Ulster's star signing Charles Piutau. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
He has not completed return-to-play injury protocols in time. | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
But Andrew Trimble is back, in a side that wants | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
to take good Pro12 form into the European campaign. | :23:59. | :24:07. | |
There is not a lot we will change tactically. We have got calls an | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
hour gameplay and patterns. Certainly it will bring a bit of | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
excitement to that. It is a different competition, different | :24:22. | :24:24. | |
teams. Maybe you haven't played them before. The Pro12, you play a lot of | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
these teams week in week out and you get to know them, but certainly | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
there is a bit of an added buzz when you come here. | :24:35. | :24:35. | |
This game also sees two Irish number tens, Paddy Jackson | :24:36. | :24:37. | |
I think there are a few people who are pretty keen to see the | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
combination and those two boys going at one another and they are both | :24:49. | :24:57. | |
really good footballers. They give you Number ten a bit more to go | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
forward and with the ball he will make that ten standout on big stage. | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
And inside Jackson, Ulster as ever will look to their star number nine. | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
It's going to be a big test, a test of character and depth and the way | :25:09. | :25:16. | |
that we want to perform. Looking forward to it. Think you want to | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
test yourself against the best and we are all UCC against that in the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
next couple of weeks. Everyone is excited to get back into Europe and | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
hopefully we can carry a bit of momentum into those games. | :25:29. | :25:30. | |
And with eight wins in their last ten games against French sides, | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
Ulster have travelled to Bordeaux confident of a good result. | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
Gaelic football - the draw for next year's Championship | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
Defending champions Tyrone will renew hostilities with Derry. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
Cavan await the winners of the preliminary round match | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
In the other two quarter-finals, it's Donegal against Antrim | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
That is the sport. Now the weather with Cecelia Daly. We had some | :26:00. | :26:17. | |
dramatic weather across parts of Northern Ireland earlier today. | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
Lines of intense showers brought thunder and lightening and also | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
significant health showers in Antrim and County Down. This weather | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
station had over 70 millimetres, well over two inches of rain over | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
the last 12-18 hours. More rain this weekend but also sunshine, so not a | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
complete wash-out. Dry to make the most of the dry gaps. A few showers | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
tonight but it will be mainly dry. Gaps in the cloud and temperatures | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
in the north-west could be as low as five or six. We expect things to | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
turn increasingly wet tomorrow morning from the south. They you are | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
up a leader might be some dry weather for a while and even some | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
sunshine up towards the north coast. The rain moves northwards and | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
reaches the north coast around lunchtime and in any one place we | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
are looking at three or four hours of rain. It gradually clears from | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
the South again but it is still wet as you can see on the north coast at | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
lunchtime. It starts to dry up further south. Improving through the | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
afternoon. That is the time for your sport and outdoor activities and | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
most places will end up dry and probably quite sunny. Showers return | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
to a Saturday night into Sunday morning. Some of those could be | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
heavy again with thunder and lightning possible. Blustery winds. | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
Some dry and bright weather on Sunday especially around lunchtime | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
and early afternoon. Picture times this weekend and hopefully don't get | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
too wet. That was BBC Newsline. Have a great weekend. | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
When you're young, you hear about people dying | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
and you basically think, "That's for somebody else." | :27:59. | :28:02. |
