Good evening, this is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines this | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
Monday evening: MLAs are back at Stormont after Election | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
2017, but for how long - talks between the parties | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
We go into these negotiations wanting to promote unionism and the | :00:23. | :00:36. | |
union and wanting to see a very solid base for Northern Ireland | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
within the UK. The political landscape has shifted enormously. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
This is not Groundhog Day, this is not business as usual. | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
The votes leave unionists with a lot to think about - | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
no longer do they have a majority at Stormont. | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
We're out on the streets to find out what you the voters | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
make of the results, and what should happen next. | :01:01. | :01:09. | |
Worry about schools and hospitals and forget about all this other | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
rubbish. Northern Ireland football boss | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
Michael O'Neill says he would be tempted by the vacant manager's job | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
with the Premier League More rain on the way this week, I | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
will have the forecast. The DUP leader has denied newspaper | :01:19. | :01:27. | |
reports of a revolt in her party Arlene Foster was speaking after | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
meeting the Secretary of State - one in a series of talks | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
at Stormont today. There are three weeks to reach | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
an agreement to form an Executive. But the first crunch issue is over | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
the DUP's choice for First Minister. Sinn Fein have said | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
they cannot support Mrs Foster First a reminder of how the parties | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
ended up following the election. The DUP remain the biggest | :01:51. | :01:59. | |
party but only just. Sinn Fein finished just | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
below them with 27 seats. Their share of the vote | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
surged by almost 4%. The SDLP is now the third largest | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
party with 12 seats - The Ulster Unionist Party lost six | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
of their MLAs and finished on ten, prompting the party leader | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
Mike Nesbitt to announce Under their new leader, the Alliance | :02:26. | :02:27. | |
party still have eight seats. The Green party also | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
held their position with two seats. The TUV leader Jim Allister | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
retained his seat in north Antrim. The former justice minister | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Claire Sugden was returned as an independent unionist in east | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
Londonderry. Eamon McCann from People Before | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
Profit lost his seat leaving the party one member | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
in the new Assembly. He may be big news here | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
but Gerry Adams has Is he the mayor with Micah is he? He | :02:56. | :03:16. | |
is called Gerry Adams, he leads a party called Sinn Fein. | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
Selfies come with success and this was Sinn Fein's day as they paraded | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
their 27 MLAs including some well-known and new faces. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Elisha McCallion is one of Sinn Fein's | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Challenging and opportunity are words that come to mind but I have | :03:27. | :03:39. | |
been involved in Republican politics all my life so this is just a new | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
era. There were warm greetings | :03:42. | :03:41. | |
too for the SDLP's Pat Catney who begins a political career | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
at Stormont after years in the When they get rowdy in the bar, you | :03:44. | :03:57. | |
can turn them out. I'm not sure I can tell anybody out there! Lets | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
hope we don't have that but ring respect. | :04:01. | :04:01. | |
Another new arrival at Parliament Buildings was John Stewart | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
who bucked the trend and won a seat for the Ulster Unionists in | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
I'm giving up two jobs to do this. It's something I always wanted to | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
do. I take huge pride in working with the people of Northern Ireland. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
In his 20s, Jonathan Buckley is another new face on the | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
It is a daunting experience coming here as 25 years old. | :04:22. | :04:29. | |
As the new MLAs found their way around, just down the road at | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
Stormont House, meetings aimed at forming an executive began in | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
The DUP were first in meeting James Brokenshire. | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Afterwards Arlene Foster and Nigel Dodds said | :04:39. | :04:39. | |
there was no reason for a | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
I think this is the biggest boat ever cast for any party in an | :04:42. | :04:53. | |
assembly election. It would be a perverse thing to say as a result of | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
that, but someone should step aside. Arlene Foster is the leader of the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
DUP and the people will decide who leads the DUP. The people have given | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
a resounding mandate and endorsement to her as the leader of the DUP. | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
There is no revolt at all in the party? Now, there is no revolt, I | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
have had a very good meeting today with my party officers. I will meet | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
with my foot team tomorrow morning and I am looking forward to that. I | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
have talked to a lot of colleagues as well so there is no problem at | :05:26. | :05:26. | |
all. Sinn Fein also met | :05:27. | :05:27. | |
the Secretary of State and made it clear that times have | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
changed politically. The people have had their say, the | :05:30. | :05:41. | |
political land has shifted. This is not Groundhog Day, this is not | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
business as usual. If people want equality for all, they want respect | :05:47. | :05:47. | |
and institutions. The Alliance Party said | :05:48. | :05:48. | |
if there was a political will to find agreement | :05:49. | :05:51. | |
across the parties, it could be found but insisted | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
that they would not join an The depth of the bitterness between | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
the lead parties is as extreme as it has been for some time. The issues | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
before us our context. Careers have ended and | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
some have just begun. There are issues of personalities | :06:09. | :06:15. | |
and the leadership of the DUP and the UUP and theis election poses | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
a whole series of questions about power-sharing and the future | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
of unionism and nationalism. For the first time, there is no | :06:23. | :06:32. | |
unionist majority at Stormont. The DUP and the Ulster Unionists | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
were the parties worst There is some flash photography at | :06:35. | :06:52. | |
the start. It was the story of the election. Sinn Fein with a nod to | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
celebrate. Unionists with much to contemplate. The loss of seats, the | :07:00. | :07:06. | |
loss of the big names and in Mike Nesbitt's case, the last of the | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Ulster Unionist Party leadership. When all the boats had finally be | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
counted, the numbers were not what Unionists onto the sea. Here is the | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
state of the parties in the new chamber. The DUP, the largest party, | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
with 28 seats but there are only one ahead of Sinn Fein who have 27 | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
seats. In the last assembly, they were tempted to head but the gap has | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
now closed. Here is what has happened. This assembly is smaller | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
than the last one. 90 seats and 3108. Let's see where there 18 seats | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
went. Sinn Fein lost one, people before profit lost one but the SDLP | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
didn't lose any and neither did the Alliance Party. Unionists lost 16 | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
seats in total. Ten DUP seats and six Ulster Unionist seats. It means | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
for the first time in the history of Stormont, there is no overall | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
unionist majority in the chamber. They have 40 seats out of 90, that | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
is less than 50%. It has never happened before. So what are the | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
implications of the election result? I think the 3rd of March was a bad | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
day for unionism. We have no majority in Stormont for the first | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
time. But I think we need to look at it as a wake-up call as to the | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
future, how unionism positions itself and its fit for purpose. So, | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
is unionism is difficulty Sinn Fein 's opportunity? It certainly has | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
given a boost to nationalists and republicans and I dare say that | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
pressure for a border poll will increase in the foreseeable future | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
although I don't think one should overreact in the sense that our | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
constitutional status here in Northern Ireland is going to change | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
in the very short run. In the old Stormont parliament, a chamber | :09:04. | :09:05. | |
without a unionist majority was unthinkable. John Taylor, seen here | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
on the left, is still involved in unionist politics. Today he said he | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
was not concerned about last week 's election result. He said Sinn Fein | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
and the SDLP still have a lot of work to do. United islanders only | :09:20. | :09:26. | |
got 42%. They were beaten. Are you really telling me you're not worried | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
about the state of the union? Not in the least, not in the least. The | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
election may be over but the analysis of what it all means is | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
only just beginning. So how do people in mainly unionist | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
and nationalist communities view BBC Newsline's Tara Mills has | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
been talking to people Westbound fast and lichen Valley, | :09:45. | :09:59. | |
geographically close but at different ends of the political | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
spectrum. It was an election like no other in our history. Nationalists | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
are celebrity a surge no vote while Unionists are looking at a changed | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
the political landscape. Last year lichen Valley didn't have any | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
nationalist representation. This time round, there is one SDLP MLA. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Shoppers in the spring this morning were still digesting the outcome of | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
the election. We've still got the biggest boat, we are only one up but | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
at the same time, things are going to change. Dramatically. In what | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
way? Everybody knows where Sinn Fein is heading for, they want a united | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
Ireland. The SDLP want a united Ireland. I'm 73 and I don't want to | :10:41. | :10:48. | |
see it in my day. But does annoy me is that they are saying they won't | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
have an assembly unless Arlene Foster resigns. That is just | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
ridiculous. What about the Sinn Fein vote, what did you think of that? | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
Shocked but they are better at getting their people out. For | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
others, the result is a good thing. It is nice to see a change in this | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
burn. Now it is slipped down the middle, it is nice to see. How the | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
campaign was run is something many observers believe the parties need | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
to reflect upon. I think they will be a lot of soul-searching done | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
within the two parties, the DUP and Ulster Unionist with questions to | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
answer about how they run the campaign and more importantly, with | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
the DUP, how we got here. Unionists are null and in the majority at | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
Stormont and across Belfast, they now only hold six of the 20 seats. | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
Changing times across the city. In this west Belfast shopping centre, | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
many were pleased with the outcome but they also want to see Stormont | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
up and running again. They need to sit down and get agreements, worry | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
about the cost of living, schools, hospitals and forget about all this | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
other rubbish. Do the job they are supposed to do. She should step down | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
because she has made an horrific mistake but she want knowledge it. | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
She is trying to do a Margaret Thatcher. Stiff upper lip. I hope | :12:15. | :12:23. | |
everybody goes well from it. I don't mean any disrespect. Ardoyne shops | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
has been a flash point of the years. Here there was a mixture of hope and | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
pessimism. It's going to be the same old story but hopefully they will | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
show a bit of respect to nationalists people. I believe it is | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
Arlene Foster's fault from the start. Had she stepped aside for a | :12:44. | :12:51. | |
few weeks, over the heating scheme, but it never happened. What now for | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
Republicans? When the surge in support bring renewed | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
self-confidence? I think this vote coming within ten months of the | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
lowest return the nationalist parties have received in an assembly | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
election since 1998, will give the nationalists ablest and certainly, a | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
renewed energy and feel that their overall objective of trying to | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
secure Irish unity in the longer term is certainly still on track. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
It's over to the parties negotiating teams now to see what they can | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
deliver the voters. Our political editor | :13:26. | :13:27. | |
Mark Devenport is at Stormont. A change in the make-up of the | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
assembly but the same problems that collapsed it. Any sign of a | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
compromise or agreement? Not really but I suppose it is just day one. If | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
you want to look on the upside, the parties are at least talking to each | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
other. Sinn Fein and the DUP met this afternoon which was described | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
as businesslike. They have agreed to meet tomorrow. On the essential | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
sticking point that we are facing, this problem that Sinn Fein say they | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
want share power with Arlene Foster if she is First Minister, she did | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
not roll out completely putting forward a summary else as they | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
nominee for that job but neither did she say she would do it. Says, that | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
is a matter for negotiations. Standing aside temporarily, what is | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
the sense of the mood within the DUP? She is not going to stand aside | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
as DUP leader, there is a possibility she may stand aside as | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
First Minister but she is adamant she will not stand aside as DUP | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
leader, adamant there is no revolt within the party. Things may be | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
clearer after a full meeting of the party's assembly group tomorrow. I | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
do think there are some senior members of the party who were shaken | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
by this result, not just the results of the DUP at the result for | :14:44. | :14:47. | |
unionism in general and they're beginning to ask questions both | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
about Arlene Foster and some of her backroom staff. The new MLAs will | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
have their first formal session next Monday, what will be involved in | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
that and how does that fit in with the talks tangible? That will be a | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
session at which they will find the role, as Unionists or nationalists | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
or others which is what they tend to do, it has been set for very late on | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Monday next, 4pm in the afternoon and that is to give them the maximum | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
amount of time because once they have that session, it sets a clock | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
running for a fortnight which gives as a deadline of Monday, March 27 | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
for the appointment of a first and Debbie First Minister. If they don't | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
achieve that, it is over to the Secretary of State once again. On | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
the issue of MLAs pay, you have news on that? Is, there was a letter | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
written by the three former members of the panel which oversaw MLAs | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
wages and allowances and occasionally made some quite reports | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
about it. Critical Neither of those three people are still in the job | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
because they were replaced and that has been left the air but they have | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
written a letter to the Secretary of State saying the three-month | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
deadline should be set to any payments to the new MLAs if they are | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
not carrying out their jobs. They also see any restoration of | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
devolution should involve setting up a panel with strong powers to ensure | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
there is no further abuses of the allowances system at Stormont. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
A police officer who was injured in a shooting in North Belfast | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
in January has spoken publicly for the first time. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
The man was wounded in the arm when a filling station | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
For tonight's BBC Crimewatch programme he described | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
what happened saying he thought he was going to die. | :16:32. | :16:40. | |
The officer who was wounded in the shooting on the Crumlin Road is | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
fortunate to have escaped with his life, as are others who were using | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
the busy station at the time. The morning after the attack, a strike | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
marks of the bullets that sprayed the forecourt were clear to see and | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
there was widespread condemnation of those who carried it out. We had a | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
number of high velocity rounds fired across the Crumlin Road, a main | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
arterial route out of Belfast, into a filling station that had members | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
of the public going about their business. Is just very fortunate | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
that we are not standing here today making an appeal around a murder | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
investigation. He attended murder will feature in an appeal for | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
information on the BBC Crimewatch programme this evening. But the | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
first time, the wounded officer has been talking publicly about being | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
shot. His words are being spoken by an actor. I felt something hit me, | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
everything slowed down. Blood was pouring out and I thought that was | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
me. I thought I was going to die in that forecourt. He is a recovering | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
from his injuries. The republican dissident group calling itself the | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
IRA had admitted carrying out the shooting. | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
There's a concern that other energy companies will follow SSE Airtricity | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
It was announced on Friday that its 140,000 gas customers | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
in the greater Belfast area will see their bills rise by more | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
Our economics and Business Editor John Campbell is here. | :18:04. | :18:13. | |
Why is it happening? Is all about the price of gas on the wholesale | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
global markets. We have had a few years where energy prices have been | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
very low but in the last 12 months, those prices have started to | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
increase. If we look at some figures, back in the summer it cost | :18:27. | :18:36. | |
gas 30 for PR unit in the UK wholesale market. By November, it | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
was up to 48p. That is a rise of 40% and prices have continued to rise | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
since then. It is the atrocity are reacting to that rise in the | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
wholesale prices. What about other energy prices, what is the prospect | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
of those rising as well? Anybody who uses heating oil will now prices | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
have already been rising and firmness energy to provide gas to | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
towns outside Belfast are likely to announce a rise as early as this | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
week and this is all against an overall backdrop of rising prices | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
generally across the economy. We know that commodity prices are | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
rising in global markets and the fact that the pound has weak and | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
against other currencies since Brexit aims the cost of goods were | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
importing are also going up so I afraid a big story through the whole | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
of this year is going to be rising prices in many areas of the economy. | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
Northern Ireland Manager Michael O'Neill has admitted that the vacant | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
post at Leicester City would be tempting and he has been flattered | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
to be linked to the Premier League champions but he is not actively | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
looking for a move from his present role. | :19:43. | :19:45. | |
He joined goalkeeping legend Pat Jennings at the opening today | :19:46. | :19:47. | |
of a new education and heritage centre at the National | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
I asked O'Neill about the recent speculation linking him | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
It's always nice to be linked with jobs come about is the nature of | :19:56. | :20:08. | |
football and the media that surrounds football but I suppose the | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
reason I am meant with a job like that is because of the work we've | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
done here and the success we've had here with Northern Ireland. I | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
focuses purely on the game against Norway and then going on to the game | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
against Azerbaijan and meeting sure as a team, we do the country proud | :20:22. | :20:24. | |
and give ourselves the opportunity of going to Russia. Would a job like | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
that tempt you? You're always tempted, you have to consider these | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
things if the opportunity is presented to you. If so, the | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
sensation and myself will sit down and look at it and see where we go | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
from there. The draw for the Irish cup | :20:41. | :20:41. | |
semi-finals sees Glenavon face Coleraine while Linfield | :20:42. | :20:44. | |
will take on Dungannon. David Healy's side won two-nil | :20:45. | :20:45. | |
at Seaview to sweep past Crusaders on Saturday, | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
Nial Quinn's late header clinching victory while Dungannon progressed, | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
winning 2-1 after extra-time against Warrenpoint - | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Douglas Wilson with the winner It was a bit easier for Glenavon | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
as they cruised to a 5-0 win over Portadown at Shamrock Park | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
while Coleraine beat rivals Ballymena 4-0 at the Showgrounds, | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
including this cool Slaughtneil's Camogie team won | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
the All-Ireland club title for the first time ever | :21:11. | :21:19. | |
at Croke Park yesterday. That sets up the potential | :21:20. | :21:21. | |
of an historic double for the County Derry club if the men | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
can win the football But, as Nigel Ringland | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
reports, for now it's Heroin is returning with the spoils, | :21:30. | :21:50. | |
Slaughtneil's, please with a rousing reception with their silverware. All | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
of our supporters and family and friends here to welcome us, as all | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
Ireland Champions, we have to keep saying it to believe it. It is | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
crazy. One goal and ten point 211 points was the final score. Mary | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
Kelly with the only goal early in the second half. I think we started | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
well at the start of the match. We got a bit of control and maybe | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
didn't get enough scorers but we felt it at half time. We were in a | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
good place. Somehow we always seem to find that bit extra and create | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
the scorers. It was fitting that there was a wonder points scored | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
near the end. Playing at Croke Park would be the highlight of any body | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
's career. I didn't know how near we were two injury time so I just hit | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
it and hoped and platelet between the two posts. You get the | :22:42. | :22:44. | |
impression that the celebration is this victory will go on for some | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
time yet. In the National Football League | :22:47. | :22:47. | |
action there were two all-ulster ties in Division One at the weekend, | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
Tyrone lie second in the table after their win over Monaghan | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
by 14-10 at Healy Park while Donegal are just a place behind | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
after their eight-point Down and Derry were the other Ulster | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
counties to win at the weekend but Fermanagh's woes continued | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
with a heavy defeat to Kildare. VJared Payne is unlikely to be | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
drafted into Joe Schmidt's Ireland team for this Fridays Six Nations | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
game with Wales. He missed squad | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
training this morning. Fellow Ulsterman Tommy Bowe | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
was recalled to the squad to replace He picked up a hand injury | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
during Ulster's win against Treviso. Payne played the full 80 minutes | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
of that match and was feeling It felt pretty good on the weekend | :23:31. | :23:45. | |
and pretty sharp but he has been a long time out of the game so for | :23:46. | :23:49. | |
him, the bruising is nothing more than that. He has been out for a | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
long time and some players will take a little bit more to recover from | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
games, especially when they have been out for so long. He is hopeful | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
that he will train on Wednesday. On his return to competition | :24:04. | :24:05. | |
after injury, Rory McIlroy finished in a tie for seventh place | :24:06. | :24:07. | |
at the WGC championship in Mexico. He ended up four strokes behind | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
eventual winner Dustin Johnson, The weather is next. | :24:11. | :24:28. | |
We had good weather today but some of us ending on a wet note as rain | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
makes its way out towards the Irish Sea. Eventually it will clear away | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
as we make our way through this evening. A very chilly night in | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
store as temperatures for many of us fall to freezing and perhaps below | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
in the countryside. With wind light enough, we could see the odd pocket | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
of rest and folk early in the morning. After a chilly start | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
tomorrow, it will be a dry one but we have really ready to come in | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
again from the Atlantic. To begin with, a frost which will burn away | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
in the early morning sunshine. I didn't have sunshine to come right | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
through until the middle of the afternoon. The further west, the | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
cloud is going to creep in and it is eventually going to bring in rain to | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
Fermanagh, Tyrone and Donegal. Some of that will be happy by the middle | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
of the afternoon. Widespread rain by the middle of the day and that is | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
going to gradually push its weakest words, affecting us all. By 22 in | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
the East Coast. Temperatures about eight or 9 degrees. Further south, | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
up to about 12. By tomorrow evening rush-hour, it will be very wet out | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
there some surface spray columns on the roads would eventually the rain | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
clears tomorrow evening and the good news is, behind the rain, milder air | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
so tomorrow night will not be quite as chilly temperatures at 67 | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
degrees. After Wednesday, a wet start but that will clear away and a | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
fair amount of dry weather following. Temperatures up to 11 or | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
12 degrees. The threat of a few showers later on in the day. By | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
night, right through to the end of the week. | :26:06. | :26:06. | |
Finally as the political parties start talks | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
on the future of the Assembly - we leave you with a reminder of some | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
of the moments captured by our cameras as the election | :26:13. | :26:14. | |
Be warned there is some flash photography at the start. | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
We had the winners, the losers, the delighted, the disappointed. | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
The election was in many, many ways, a watershed election. | :26:21. | :27:11. | |
This is a poor day for unionism. A day that needn't have had to happen. | :27:12. | :27:24. | |
It means that there is a life beyond politics. The buck stops here. Does | :27:25. | :27:38. | |
Arlene Foster, as leader of the DUP, enjoy your full confidence tonight? | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
Yes. Let us move forward with hope and with hope that common good will | :27:46. | :27:54. | |
be able to prevail. When he was defeated he said he was too tired to | :27:55. | :27:56. | |
laugh and too old to cry. | :27:57. | :27:59. |
