There's an ongoing security alert in south Armagh.

:00:00.:00:20.

The alert was sparked when members of the public reported

:00:21.:00:23.

a suspicious object at the side of the Hall Road in Lislea.

:00:24.:00:26.

The road has been cordoned off and the police are asking

:00:27.:00:28.

Initially a police helicopter monitored the scene

:00:29.:00:31.

from above as it was feared it may have been a hoax to lure

:00:32.:00:34.

A local councillor said it was a big disruption for people in the area.

:00:35.:00:39.

It appears to be like a gas cylinder type item that has been located. I

:00:40.:00:44.

know the police helicopters have been up to try and get a closer look

:00:45.:00:50.

at that and hopefully back at a are concerned about personal safety,

:00:51.:00:53.

which I totally appreciate so until we get more word, we don't know what

:00:54.:00:59.

you're dealing with but hopefully it turns out to be nothing and we can

:01:00.:01:05.

all get back to having our last good Bank Holiday weekend. Detectives

:01:06.:01:09.

from the serious crime Branch have taken a number of items from a house

:01:10.:01:10.

in Larne. However, they say the searches

:01:11.:01:14.

are not linked to the arrest of Royal Marine Ciaran Maxwell

:01:15.:01:16.

in England earlier this week. Tributes have been paid to a young

:01:17.:01:19.

teenager killed in a motorbike 13-year-old Daniel Sheridan

:01:20.:01:21.

from Dublin was seriously injured at a motocross track in Magilligan

:01:22.:01:24.

yesterday afternoon and died later after being airlifted

:01:25.:01:27.

to Altnagelvin hospital. The scene of the tragedy

:01:28.:01:28.

from a distance. The track where the accident

:01:29.:01:31.

happened along the banks. Daniel Sheridan suffered serious

:01:32.:01:35.

injuries and he was airlifted Less than 24 hours

:01:36.:01:38.

later, he had died. The exact circumstances

:01:39.:01:45.

of what happened at the end of this very narrow lane

:01:46.:01:48.

way is still unclear. The police are only saying

:01:49.:01:52.

that they are investigating What is known is that this

:01:53.:01:54.

is a very popular place It is a brilliant

:01:55.:02:00.

facility for all ages. The young lad Daniel who has

:02:01.:02:09.

unfortunately passed away has been Myself, his brother and him

:02:10.:02:15.

have always done laps. Alongside the sadness,

:02:16.:02:22.

happy memories. He was quiet but he always had

:02:23.:02:24.

a smart word to say. He always liked to be

:02:25.:02:35.

involved doing training. He liked to be in the thick

:02:36.:02:43.

of things. The teenager was a pupil

:02:44.:02:49.

in Tallaght in Dublin. Today the Parents Association

:02:50.:02:53.

of the closure? The most immediate impact will be

:04:07.:04:09.

on the 60 people that work here. They will join others who work

:04:10.:04:14.

for BHS branches in Northern Ireland and thousands of people

:04:15.:04:18.

who worked for this company. There will be a retail unit

:04:19.:04:24.

in the centre of Belfast lying idle. This unit has not had lot of money

:04:25.:04:28.

spent on it. It'll take a significant investment

:04:29.:04:31.

to make it attractive. Remind us why we are seeing

:04:32.:04:35.

the demise of the UK retail BHS. A panel of MPs investigated

:04:36.:04:42.

the closure of BHS and they have laid the blame very firmly

:04:43.:04:50.

on the fault of Sir Philip Green They say Sir Philip Green took

:04:51.:04:53.

hundreds of millions of pounds out of the business over

:04:54.:04:57.

after being informed The First Minister Arlene Foster has

:05:47.:05:50.

made her first public comment on the affair which led

:05:51.:05:57.

to the resignation of the Sinn Fein Assembly member

:05:58.:06:00.

Daithi McKay and calls for the Finance Minister Mairtin O

:06:01.:06:02.

Muilleoir to step aside. The DUP leader says Mr O Muilleoir

:06:03.:06:05.

should have temporarily stood down when it was announced there'd be

:06:06.:06:08.

an investigation into the coaching Here's our political correspondent

:06:09.:06:11.

Gareth Gordon. Arlene Foster's first reaction

:06:12.:06:16.

to a story which broke when she was on holiday was the same

:06:17.:06:18.

as most other people's. This Sinn Fein chair of a Stormont

:06:19.:06:21.

committee really had helped to coach the loyalist Jamie Bryson

:06:22.:06:29.

on how to give evidence - a move the First Minister claimed

:06:30.:06:32.

was designed to destabilise her party

:06:33.:06:35.

and the administration generally. And does she agree with

:06:36.:06:38.

those who say the now Sinn Fein Finance Minister

:06:39.:06:43.

should step aside? Mairtin O Muilleoir took a very

:06:44.:06:45.

high-profile role on that committee and a very particular line

:06:46.:06:48.

of questioning as well, so I have said he should think

:06:49.:06:53.

about stepping aside even if he is stepping

:06:54.:06:56.

aside temporarily. But it is a matter for him

:06:57.:07:00.

and his party It is a matter for him as to

:07:01.:07:03.

whether he takes But Mr O Muilleoir says he's done

:07:04.:07:08.

nothing wrong and his party Arlene Foster's the first public

:07:09.:07:12.

comment on this messy affair won't have widened the rift

:07:13.:07:22.

between her party and Sinn Fein. The issue is far from over

:07:23.:07:24.

but unless something else emerges it doesn't

:07:25.:07:26.

look quite threatening the uneasy compromise

:07:27.:07:28.

at Stormont. And that has led this

:07:29.:07:29.

party leader to question First of all it is clear she'd

:07:30.:07:31.

is not even going to try and lift a finger against Mairtin O Muilleoir

:07:32.:07:37.

and it gives the lie to the promise in the manifesto they had fixed

:07:38.:07:43.

everything at St Andrews and there would be no more solo runs

:07:44.:07:46.

by Minister and no more party interests above the good

:07:47.:07:49.

of the Executive. That is clearly what Mairtin O

:07:50.:07:55.

Muilleoir is doing. He can do what is right

:07:56.:07:57.

for the institutions, the party, or they can do

:07:58.:08:03.

what is right for himself. He is choosing the me,

:08:04.:08:06.

me, me option. Sinn Fein haven't commented

:08:07.:08:07.

on Arlene Foster's call, believing nothing more needs

:08:08.:08:09.

to be said. Football and Glenavon are joint top

:08:10.:08:11.

of the Irish Premiership while Carrick Rangers were defeated

:08:12.:08:20.

4-1 by Ballymena United. It looks like a pretty quiet one

:08:21.:08:42.

tonight, no thunder and lightning expected. There will be some showers

:08:43.:08:45.

over the weekend but a lot of the time in most places, it will be dry

:08:46.:08:51.

and it looks like any heavy showers will be restricted to Saturday

:08:52.:08:55.

night, especially in the east. Temperatures typically in the high

:08:56.:08:59.

teens but a few spots will get up to 20 degrees. Tonight it is going to

:09:00.:09:04.

cool off quite quickly, fairly clear skies, temperatures dropping to

:09:05.:09:07.

seven or 8 degrees in the countryside, so a bit of mist and

:09:08.:09:11.

fog for a short time on Saturday morning. A few showers to come

:09:12.:09:15.

through the day but most places dry and pretty bright. Some sunshine at

:09:16.:09:19.

times but also areas of high cloud drifting up from the south and in

:09:20.:09:24.

from the west. Some showers across the west and South west of Ireland,

:09:25.:09:28.

a few moving into the south-west of Scotland. Most of the heavy showers

:09:29.:09:32.

will be across central and eastern areas of England at this stage.

:09:33.:09:36.

Otherwise, a lot of places in UK and Ireland will have a dry Saturday.

:09:37.:09:40.

Temperatures in Northern Ireland will be up to 18 or 19 degrees, it

:09:41.:09:44.

will feel warmer at the north coast compared to today. Maybe a few heavy

:09:45.:09:49.

showers later on on Saturday night but hopefully it will stay dry for

:09:50.:09:56.

Fatboy Slim at Belsonic. On Sunday, one or two showers around but mostly

:09:57.:10:02.

dry with some sunshine. If you are heading to the Belfast Mela botanic,

:10:03.:10:05.

hopefully the showers will stay away. If you are for the Bank

:10:06.:10:09.

Holiday on Monday, it looks like a dry day two.

:10:10.:10:10.

Enjoy that sunshine. Our next BBC Newsline is at seven
