to follow mean that it should be BBC Newsline has learned that | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
a woman was reported to police and charged in connection | :01:17. | :01:29. | |
with using abortion pills The purchase and use of the drugs | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
is illegal throughout the UK. about their availability | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
in Northern Ireland. And there are warnings that women | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
are putting their health at risk by taking abortion | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
pills bought online. Buying and using abortion pills is | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
illegal across both the UK and Ireland. But there is concern about | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
their availability online. We purchased drugs which arrived from | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
India to an address here. That is despite Northern Ireland's strict | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
abortion laws that prevent the termination of any pregnancy, unless | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
the mother's life or health is at serious risk. The drugs were | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
analysed for hours at Queens University. We can say with 100% as | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
surety, it is that pharmaceutical compound. They found the pills were | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
capable of causing an abortion. But they are not licensed for use in the | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
UK. As with all drugs, there are risks associated with this drug's | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
use. Of particular concern would be the heavy bleeding, which is a | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
relatively common adverse effect, and a number of women would require | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
a blood transfusion. If you're talking about heavy blood loss as a | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
result of using these, is that potentially life-threatening? | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
Completely, yes. That means someone in who use the drugs will require | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
treatment. We have learned that at least one woman charged with using | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
abortion pills was reported to police after she requested medical | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
help. The Department of Health did issue guidelines earlier this year | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
that stated that medical staff did have a duty to give information to | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
police to secure the apprehension, prosecution or conviction of anybody | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
involved in an illegal termination. However, the guidance is not clear | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
because it also says that they do not have to pass on that information | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
if they have a reasonable excuse not to. Whenever we want women to seek | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
medical advice, we have been telling them do not say that they have taken | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
the hills, because the medical professions are obliged to report | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
this to the police and it is very clear in the most recent Northern | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
Ireland guidelines that there is a don't ask, don't tell policy in | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
those guidelines. Campaigners have been pushing for a relaxation of the | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
abortion laws, but that remains a divisive and sensitive issues at | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
Stormont. We do not want that to happen and our politicians have been | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
holding against the tide of some people, like Amnesty International | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
and other groups, who are actively trying to quite possibly change a | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
lot. We made numerous requests to speak to the Justice Minister, and | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
she was due to give interviews at an NSPCC event. As the NSPCC invaded | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
you here today? When it became clear that we wanted to talk about | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
abortion, however, her press officer had thrown out. | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
While she not prepared to answer any questions about an abortion? I am | :04:32. | :04:40. | |
not answering any more questions while you film, please. The Health | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
Minister also refused requests for interviews. But in a statement, her | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
department said their primary concern for any woman was care. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
The DUP leader Arlene Foster has said her party will continue to | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
block attempts to introduce Same Sex Marriage Bill the Assembly. Mrs | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
Foster said in an interview that abuse from some activists had | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
convinced her to continue to use the blocking mechanism known as a | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
petition of concern. Our political editor has more details. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
Well, these latest comments came in one of a series of interviews that | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Arlene Foster is giving in the run-up to her party conference, | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
which is this weekend. In an interview with the press | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Association, she was asked about her party's position on same-sex | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
marriage, and whether they might in the future decide not to use a | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
petition of concern to block private member 's attempts to change the law | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
on that score. She indicated that the DUP remains committed to a | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
traditional definition of marriage and would use the tool, a petition | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
of concern, which allows it to be any attempt to change Hall. She also | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
said in that interview that she and her colleagues have subjected to | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
what she called vicious abuse online by LGBT activists, and she said that | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
abuse would not change your position. Indeed, she said it might | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
actually had any position of the DUP in ensuring that they would not opt | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
for any change on that score. And is this a surprise? | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
I do not think so, really. If you look at the detail of the DUP's | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
Assembly manifesto, there was one line were they said they remained | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
committed to the definition of marriage and resisting any attempt | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
to redefine it. So I think it has always been pretty clear on that | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
score that they will continue to be to this. There has been talk about | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
limiting the use of a petition of concern but Arlene Foster says this | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
is a matter about which are party feels very strongly, so why would | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
they not use that petition if they can? | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
And are likely to see petition of concern used in relation to reform | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
of abortion laws? It is another of those moral issues | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
which causes quite a lot of debate here, and controversy at Stormont. I | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
cannot see any change in relation to the kind of issues that Chris has | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
been reporting on, they use of my North Pole faulty and that we, but | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
what we are waiting to see if the outcome of a working group which has | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
reported to the Executive. We still do not know what the recommendations | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
are on the sensitive issue of fizzle fizzle abnormality. Sinn Fein is up | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
for a change in the law of the working group recommends that, as is | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
the Justice Minister. But we are waiting to see whether Arlene Foster | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
decides to get her DUP party a free vote on this issue. | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
Mark, at Stormont, thank you. The job losses announced | :07:32. | :07:33. | |
by the bike retailer Chain Reaction have provoked | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
a furious political reaction. The company is to cut | :07:36. | :07:37. | |
around 300 positions It was locally owned | :07:38. | :07:39. | |
until earlier this year when English firm Wiggle bought it | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
for more than ?70 million. The former Finance Minister | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
Sammy Wilson has accused the new owners of blatant | :07:47. | :07:48. | |
and cynical asset stripping. Our economics and business editor | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
John Campbell reports. It is this sort of work which will | :07:52. | :08:06. | |
no longer be done locally. Waigel has spent millions on a huge new | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
warehouse in the centre of England. So it makes commercial sense to have | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
all of those logistics in one place. But that does not cut much ice with | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
this MP. This is not because the company is uncompetitive. This is | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
simply because a bigger company bought out a competitor, wanted to | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
strip its assets, has a spare capacity in other parts of its | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
organisation and intends to move to that spare capacity. The South | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Antrim MP met the company today. He says he can understand some of their | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
explanations for the cuts, but he believes misleading language was | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
used at the time of the takeover. The one worry when we heard about | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
the merger was that there might be job lay-offs and things might get | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
moved to another location. So I raised it at the time and we got | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
nearly cast iron assurance that no, they were here forever and today, | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
this was their home and this was where they would be employing people | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
the future. But you always that with a doubt and now the worst has | :09:11. | :09:12. | |
happened and we have got to fight, and tried really hard, to make sure | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
that jobs stay here, that we build the business year and we hold it in | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
South Antrim, and Andrew. Their main warehouse sits on the edge of this | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
small village, where there is less focus on the political rhetoric and | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
more concern about the wider economic impact. Some of the | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
warehouse workers live nearby, and staff coming to and from work are | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
killer customers at the village shop. Nobody here wanted to talk | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
today, but they are worried about what it will mean for trade. Nobody | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
from Chain Reaction was available to speak to the media today, although | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
they have again emphasised they will be retaining around 300 jobs in | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Northern Ireland, and the company have again said they need to | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
centralise warehousing in Wolverhampton if they are going to | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
keep this business competitive in a very tough field. | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
Meanwhile, one of Northern Ireland's biggest employers, Bombardier, | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
is to bring forward a wave of redundancies | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
which had been announced for next year. | :10:10. | :10:10. | |
The company says the move will help reduce costs | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
and improve its competitiveness. | :10:19. | :10:19. | |
Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill joins us | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
from outside its main Belfast factory. | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
It is worth re-emphasising at the outset that this is not a new round | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
of job losses being announced, but rather the exhilaration of a | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
previously announced redundancy programme. Back in February, they | :10:38. | :10:44. | |
announced that 1008 -- 1080 jobs would be going as it responded to | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
financial problems caused by cost overruns with its passenger jet. The | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
initial plan was to break those redundancies out over two years, | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
roughly half this year, roughly half next. But today is the third | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
occasion on which Bombard has adjusted that split and the upshot | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
is all 1080 jobs will now go all for one year as opposed to two. So, a | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
process which began in February will conclude in the coming months. | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
Who has this come down -- gone down? Two things. Firstly, the company | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
recognises that this is a difficult time for workers and their families. | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Consider that hundreds of workers got news today that work they | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
thought they were going to have for another year and I will not exist | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
for them. The union, Unite, is naturally disappointed but | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
recognises that the global business is trying to get itself back into | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
shape after a couple of pretty catastrophic years financially. The | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
worry, however, is that more job losses could be on the horizon. | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
Remember, last week they announced a further 7500 jobs would have to go | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
across its global operation. Now, there are no indications yet that | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
some of those jobs will go at Belfast but there is of course | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
anxiety that workers who are having to deal with one round of | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
redundancies could very soon be dealing with another. | :12:14. | :12:14. | |
Plenty to come before seven, including... | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
Hollywood's Andrew Smith may have lost in the final of Bake Off, but | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
he is still a baking hero in his hometown. | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
Inspectors say there've been significant improvements | :12:34. | :12:34. | |
at Hydebank Wood, the prison for women and young male | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
about the level of drugs in the jail. | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney has more. | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
It was rebranded from a prison to a college last year. Inmates are now | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
called students instead of prisoners. Inspectors today said | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
there has been a change of ethos, as well as name. The Prison Service is | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
there to deliver a secure, decent environment. There is no doubt about | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
that. But we also want them to rehabilitate offenders. Here, I | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
found a staff actively engaging with prisoners, being firm but at the | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
same time showing compassion when it was required. The landscape of the | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
site has also been transformed. Courts are part of the new | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
environment. They were introduced to help teach new skills, and provide | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
therapeutic care for vulnerable prisoners. I have noticed a big | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
change in some of the young lads when they start working with the | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
goats. It gives them peace of mind and self-esteem to know that they | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
can benefit from working with animals. There are also ceramics | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
workshops with products sold to members of the public. Inmates are | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
now taking Christmas orders. A lot of them get self-worth and self | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
esteem. I can't paint, I can't do that or this. But when they call | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
from baseline beamed into more detailed stuff, they can see that | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
they can achieve it. It is bringing out their inner self-esteem. Inmates | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
also help recycle most of the waste produced on the site. We used to put | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
everything into landfill. When we changed to call College, one of our | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
new workshops, a successful one, the recycling centre. Even leftover food | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
is turned into fuel for fires. It has brought down the recycling | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
centre and push through the composting machine. We then | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
introduced the compost to shredded paper and we turn it into an equal | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
shell, which is sold in the staff shop. But today's reports are not a | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
completely clean bill of health. The inspectors expressed concern about | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
the level of care for prisoners with serious mental health problems, and | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
the widespread availability of drugs. The governor accepts that | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
more needs to be done about the drugs problem. Bars and rolls will | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
not stop people from carrying goods back internally inside them, and | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
that is something we have found fairly challenging to deal with. New | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
substances being brought in are basically order free, so very hard | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
for dogs to detect? Yes, that is right. The systems we have in place | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
are continually being updated in terms of testing. But for those new | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
psychoactive substances, it is extremely difficult for us to keep | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
on top of it. Inspectors also criticised the fact that the woman's | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
prison and young male offenders centre occupied the same site. They | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
say this is inappropriate and repeat calls made in previous reports for a | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
separate woman's prison to be built. The sister of the late Gerry Conlon | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
- one of the Guildford Four - has called for hundreds | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
of secret papers on his after a small number of them | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
were released to the BBC. Gerry Conlon, Paddy Armstrong, | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
Paul Hill and Carole Richardson one of Britain's worst | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
miscarriages of justice. IRA bombs ripped through pubs in | :15:55. | :16:12. | |
Woolwich and Guildford. Four people were wrongly convicted of the | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
murders. They were released in 1989. I've been present 15 years for | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
something I didn't do, something I didn't know anything about. | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
An inquiry was set up and based its findings on hundreds of secret files | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
kept at the National Archives. Back in Belfast, there is anger only a | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
few have been made public. Campaigners want all of files used | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
in drying up that government report released, because they say they will | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
show how four innocent people ended up going to prison for something | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
they did not do. There are 750 files in total, and following a Freedom of | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
Information request, the content of six of them have been made available | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
to the public for the very first time. They show that some of those | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
who influenced the inquiry still refuse to accept that Gerry Conlon | :17:00. | :17:05. | |
and Paul Hill were not in the IRA. Proof one lawyer says of a campaign | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
within sections of the establishment to reconnect them. May give us an | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
indication that some of the problems that we had in the course of the | :17:14. | :17:19. | |
keys, or many years, the persistent attempt to try to reconnect the | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
Guildford four was still going on after the acquittal. Gerry Conlon | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
and Paul Hill, who married into the Kennedy family in America, | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
consistently denied they were in the IRA. Did I write? Yes, of course, | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
that is what you did in west Belfast. What I involved in civil | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
disobedience? Yes. Was I ended IRA? Never in my life. Weibring six files | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
out? Bring all of the other files I and put it out to the public and | :17:55. | :17:58. | |
stand and see who is guilty. Both doing this. The government is guilty | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
of hiding evidence. Gerry Conlon died to make years ago | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
and Carole Richardson has also passed away. The solicitor who | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
represented the two surviving members of the four says they still | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
firmly asserted their innocence and wanted the whole truth to be told. | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
Even now, for decades on. -- four decades on. | :18:24. | :18:24. | |
The Health Minister has responded to critics | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
who say she should have bid for extra money | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
in the October Monitoring round, to help cut waiting lists. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
Appearing before the the Health Committee this morning, | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
Michelle O'Neill said the way the money is allocated has changed. | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
There is no longer a formal bidding process. Monitoring is absolutely | :18:41. | :18:47. | |
changed, what there is no it is an ongoing deadlock with the Finance | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
Minister and Executive colleagues and I have had that discussion with | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
him on many occasions. The October monitor and I was successful in | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
achieving capital funding for ambulance, one example. | :18:58. | :18:59. | |
It wasn't to be for County Down's Andrew Smyth in the final | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
of the Great British Bake Off last night. | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
The 25-year-old engineer from Holywood was pipped | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
by schoolteacher Candice Brown in the final. | :19:07. | :19:07. | |
But as BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports, | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
our Andrew enjoyed his slice of the action. | :19:10. | :19:24. | |
OK, that's it, time is up. To win, Andrew Smyth knew he could not | :19:25. | :19:34. | |
afford to make any mistakes. Oh, dear. There are two sides of the | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
baking paper and I have put it on the wrong one, as you can see. Oh! | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
And then there was the dreaded soggy bottom. The winner is... Candice! | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
CHEERING Disappointment again for Andrew and | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
his family. But he is now very much a man in | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
demand. He lives in Derby, and currently works as an aerospace | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
engineer, and he has got even bigger plans for the future. Everybody has | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
been lovely, especially the people in Derby and Northern Ireland. | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Everybody has been getting behind me. Short-term, do all of the Bake | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Off stuff but long term I would love to get into some form of science and | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
engineering presenting or broadcasting because that is another | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
passion, besides baking. Back in his the Bake Off was a talking point. | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
Everyone in Hollywood is very proud of him and he did well to get | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
through to the final. I think he was robbed. What did you think of the | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
Bake Off last? I do not know. It was on the same time as the football. | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
Man United beat Man City! But there's hair dresser was watching. | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
She has no mandate for more than 20 years. He comes across as a nice | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
guy. He is fabulous. What you see on television is exactly what you get. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
He may be a hero here in Hollywood, his hometown, but Andrew's immediate | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
future lies over in England. He wants to continue being an engineer | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
and a baker. Fair play to him! It seems he wants to have his cake and | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
eat it. He gets all the good jobs! | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
Now sport and with a truly remarkable tale, | :21:23. | :21:23. | |
One of those epic and life affirming stories, Tara. | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
Such was the extent of brain trauma sustained in a road traffic accident | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
that medics feared Odhran McKenna might not survive, | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
the efforts of a Northern Ireland ambulance rapid response trauma | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Bear in mind he had to learn to walk and talk again. | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
as Odhran and his twin brother CJ jointly captained St Marys Christian | :21:47. | :21:55. | |
Brothers Grammar to the Ulster schools title, | :21:56. | :21:58. | |
beating St Killians Garron Tower under lights | :21:59. | :21:59. | |
Good evening. When you look at that, can you quote believes the journey | :22:00. | :22:15. | |
that you have come on? Yes, it has been great. I always had belief in | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
myself and everybody else has believed in me, so it has been | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
great. I thought I would do it and I have. We had hoped to reunite you | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
this evening was part of that trauma team. We spoke with Doctor Jonathan | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
Dawson earlier today and he is in Devon and said to pass on his | :22:35. | :22:37. | |
delight that you are here and played last night. I know that you publicly | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
what to think that medical team. Yes, the trauma team, the paramedics | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
with them were great. The ICU staff as well. I would also like to thank | :22:47. | :22:54. | |
all the staff that were so great to me. CJ, it was bleaker, they thought | :22:55. | :23:02. | |
he might not recover. They all had belief in me and I had belief in | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
myself. You can do whatever you want to do if you put your mind to it. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
CJ, last night at the match your referred to this man as a warrior. | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
There was a beautiful moment at the final whistle. Your brother is | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
wearing 25 and into shot comes in CJ. He went straight for him. What | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
is going through your mind? It was phenomenal. Just from February, | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
eight months tomorrow I think it is, you just dream about this. You | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
wonder if he was going to be playing, if he was going to be | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
alive. You were dreaming about it all your life but since we joined | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
seven years ago, it was all about this cup and hopefully lifting it as | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
joint captain. Can you go to when in all of Ireland? With the background | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
team we have, like most cunning ham, Mr Johnson and Mr McDonald, anything | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
is possible. With the team we have as well. That was not exhaustion, | :23:57. | :24:03. | |
was it? I was just reflecting. I hope it was not exhaustion, I was | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
only on a few minutes! Icon not legible without asking you this. | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
Eight days after your injury, sustained eight months to D-Day | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
tomorrow, you wake up in the hospital and you think you are | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
aware? I thought I was on a skiing holiday in the Alps, which I have | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
never been to! And you asked for some toast and said let's get on | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
with the this? Yes, let's learn to walk again. We really appreciate | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
both of you joining us tonight and continued success on the field. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
Ahead of tomorrow night's big inter-provincial derby with Munster, | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
to the team that defeated Exeter last weekend. | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
Dan Tuohy and Wiehahn Herbst return from long-term injuries | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
And although they're included in the Ireland squad | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
Paddy Jackson, Luke Marshall and Craig Gilroy all start for Ulster. | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
Boxer Katie Teller has decided to turn professional. She has joined | :24:54. | :25:15. | |
promoter Eddie Hern's Maxim team and will make a professional debut at | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
the SSC arena in Wembley on November 26. -- match team. | :25:20. | :25:33. | |
Let's have a look at the weather. No birds today, back to landscape. We | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
had a great start to the day. Plenty of cloud around right the way | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
through this morning. Some of that delivers quite a bit of drizzle and | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
one of our weather watchers managed to cap that sense of grey, a breath | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
of skies sitting over us. Thanks to Tony for sending that picture in. | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
Now, as we go through towards this weekend, we are going to keep that a | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
team of grey and cloudy skies. There will always be a bit of brightness | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
but mostly dry and males for the next few days. But with the threat | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
of rain always present. Tonight, that threat becomes more of a | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
reality. We will see that band of rain sinking slowly south. Behind | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
did, that has the effect of bringing out the clouds of it. That gives us | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
some clearer skies tonight. Through the second half of this evening, the | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
temperatures will really drop away. It does mean that tomorrow morning | :26:23. | :26:23. | |
is going to be quite a bright start. The chance of | :26:24. | :26:42. | |
a little bit of rest and file but for most people, rather a nice | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
morning. It is not going to last, because that men would thank South | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
through this evening is on its way back tomorrow. Skies quoting from | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
the south and then a little bit of rain is. That has a bit of impact on | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
the temperature. That rain starts to push on, never ending too terribly | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
much because the front is fragmenting all the while but it | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
would introduce a bit of moisture and that means there will also be a | :26:59. | :27:01. | |
bit of fog forming through the night on Friday into Saturday morning. | :27:02. | :27:03. | |
Temperatures relatively mild. Not a bad night for the rugby. Through the | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
weekend, we have got this area of high pressure being established. | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
That gives us a good deal of protection, certainly through the | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
first half of the weekend. The rain is always threatening. Well we get | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
away with that on Saturday, for most places, through most of the daylight | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
hours staying dry, and those temperatures in the low teens, the | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
threat of rain increases a little bit on Sunday. I know a lot of | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
people will be thinking about going out for Halloween events. Lots of | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
events through Northern Ireland through the next four or so and if | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
you're out to recruiting, I do not think that if a bad line-up staying | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
mostly dry, with those temperatures reasonably mild. | :27:44. | :27:44. | |
Our late summary is at half past ten. | :27:45. | :27:46. | |
