:00:12. > :00:16.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor and Sarah
:00:16. > :00:21.Travers. The headlines this Thursday evening. Students
:00:21. > :00:23.celebrate A level passes, but the number of top grades is down. With
:00:23. > :00:32.an uncertain economic outlook, we'll look at the options for the
:00:32. > :00:36.next step. I am live on the Gerona Armagh border were thieves have
:00:36. > :00:41.left dozens of homes and businesses without by the telephone or
:00:41. > :00:48.internet connections. A knife attack on a horse leaves its owners
:00:48. > :00:53.stunned. Any body that would have the notion to come out with the
:00:53. > :00:56.knife and abuse an animal? What is wrong with them? I'm live with
:00:56. > :01:04.friends and family of the Fermanagh Gaelic footballer who's beginning a
:01:04. > :01:07.long road to recovery in the US. isn't too late to catch some
:01:07. > :01:15.sunshine this evening. Make the most of it - I will tell you why
:01:15. > :01:18.later... The wait is finally over for thousands of young people and
:01:18. > :01:21.their families, with the publication of the A level results
:01:21. > :01:23.today. This year the statistics tell a changing story. We've become
:01:23. > :01:27.accustomed to seeing grades rise year after year and although the
:01:27. > :01:30.overall pass rate is the same, the performance in high grades is not
:01:30. > :01:33.as good as previous years. One principal has told us an end to
:01:33. > :01:43.inflated grades will make the results more respected. Our
:01:43. > :01:47.education correspondent, Maggie Taggart, reports. As students
:01:47. > :01:52.collect their results, statistics show that Northern Ireland pupils
:01:52. > :01:58.did better than the average across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
:01:58. > :02:03.84% of exams earned a good result compared to 76% across the regions.
:02:03. > :02:08.However, after years of improving performances, the higher grades are
:02:08. > :02:12.slipping. The Education Minister says it is too early to panic.
:02:12. > :02:17.there is any worrying trend, we have to see what action we can take
:02:17. > :02:22.but it is far too early to suggest that we are on a downward trend.
:02:22. > :02:24.the secondary school, all pupils got at least two passes with a
:02:24. > :02:29.healthy share of top marks but the principle isn't complaining about
:02:29. > :02:33.the overall slip in grades. I am not disappointed and it does add
:02:33. > :02:39.value, people then have more faith in the results if there isn't
:02:39. > :02:41.simply a great number of pupils getting nothing but a and B. A gap
:02:41. > :02:46.year between leaving school and starting university has been
:02:46. > :02:50.fashionable recently but with the increase in fees in universities
:02:50. > :02:53.outside Northern Ireland, 2012 means not many are not taking that
:02:53. > :02:58.action. This puts pressure on places and some courses are asking
:02:58. > :03:04.for better grades. The course I went for had a lower grades last
:03:04. > :03:10.year. I will have to do a lot more work than I had to do. Before I
:03:10. > :03:13.started a levels, it has moved up a lot. Those going into a level
:03:13. > :03:17.shortly can be assured the fees in Northern Ireland will not go up
:03:17. > :03:20.dramatically but it's a different story in England, Wales and
:03:20. > :03:24.Scotland and they will face higher bills if they go there. I might
:03:24. > :03:29.stay here because of the fees and the thought of lots of debt scares
:03:29. > :03:33.me because you have to pay it back. The recession brings another
:03:33. > :03:36.problem and it affects the choices of programmes. This year and last
:03:36. > :03:41.year, there have been more vocational courses were at the end
:03:41. > :03:44.of three or four years at university they will have a career.
:03:44. > :03:51.I would imagine, that is down to the issue around student fees and
:03:51. > :03:58.the expense. Good morning... the first time this year, the local
:03:58. > :04:01.at Sam's body published results online from 7am. 20,000 pupils were
:04:02. > :04:07.eligible to do that and there was a good response of a song called the
:04:07. > :04:11.helpline for advice on how to log on. Here, the girls could have gone
:04:11. > :04:15.online to get their results this morning but there is strength and
:04:16. > :04:19.comfort in numbers and many opted to come to school to get the news
:04:19. > :04:23.in the company of friends and teachers. I did not really like
:04:23. > :04:29.that, I wanted to have the envelope and be able to take it out and see.
:04:29. > :04:34.I did not want to look at a screen. I came with friends. To have the
:04:34. > :04:38.experience of meeting the teachers and saying thank you. The website
:04:38. > :04:44.which tells students if they have been accepted for the first-choice
:04:44. > :04:47.course was disrupted this morning but has now been repaired. Of
:04:47. > :04:49.course, not all students want to go to university. Further Education
:04:49. > :04:52.colleges also offer degree courses and training as the next step.
:04:52. > :04:55.Hundreds of students have been filing through the corridors of the
:04:55. > :05:01.Belfast Met to find out what's available there, as Natasha Sayee
:05:01. > :05:04.reports. The college opened its doors this morning for a special
:05:04. > :05:10.advice day and there was a steady stream of students who needed just
:05:10. > :05:15.that. I was disappointed with my results so I applied to get back to
:05:15. > :05:21.school. I am waiting on the court so I came here to enrol in a couple
:05:21. > :05:26.of courses to keep my options open. I wanted to see what was on offer
:05:26. > :05:29.because I am not sure what I want to do it at the moment. I am just
:05:29. > :05:36.here to find out what they have on offer and hopefully come here
:05:36. > :05:41.eventually. I want to do more A- levels but I was really nervous so
:05:41. > :05:47.I had Abbey in drama and a C in media studies, that's the best I
:05:47. > :05:53.could do. As well as a more stoic, there were plenty of red eyes and
:05:53. > :05:56.tears and worried parents. The message is that all isn't lost.
:05:56. > :06:02.have a massive range of vocational courses in the college and that
:06:02. > :06:07.will train someone for employment in terms of whenever the recession
:06:07. > :06:12.is over, we have people coming back into employment and in terms of
:06:12. > :06:15.volume of courses we have, we have courses in catering, hairdressing,
:06:15. > :06:20.so it's important that people remain in education and they get
:06:20. > :06:26.that level of support. University isn't always the answer, there are
:06:26. > :06:31.lots of other options. I underling horticulture part-time next year
:06:31. > :06:36.and hopefully will go on to do more of that. I just realised that
:06:36. > :06:39.university isn't the best option for me. The Belfast Met says it has
:06:39. > :06:45.all sorts of places available and will be holding another advice day
:06:45. > :06:51.next week. With me now is Michelle Markem, former principal of St
:06:51. > :06:54.Joseph's College in South Belfast, who's now an education commentator.
:06:54. > :07:00.Some young people have got want they want and know where they are
:07:00. > :07:04.heading. There is still the impression that university is the
:07:04. > :07:11.be all and end all? That is a legacy of our high quality
:07:11. > :07:14.education. And the approach to the value. But we have now established
:07:14. > :07:20.that there are many other ways to get a good education than simply
:07:20. > :07:23.going directly to university. The Belfast Met was offering a wide
:07:23. > :07:28.range of courses and other further- education colleges offer further
:07:28. > :07:31.and higher education courses which have great baggy and they are a
:07:31. > :07:36.stepping-stone to university for those people who just cannot go
:07:36. > :07:40.directly. Yesterday I spoke to graduates who had done mostly arts
:07:40. > :07:44.degrees and found they are now working in coffee shops and pubs,
:07:44. > :07:49.they have not got their chosen field. Should the choice of
:07:49. > :07:53.subjects and the course happen much earlier in school? There is debate
:07:53. > :07:57.about this because the American model is due to the primary degree
:07:57. > :08:03.and decide vocational attitudes afterwards but here, my argument is
:08:03. > :08:07.that any degree for its intrinsic worth and development of thinking
:08:07. > :08:11.skills, is incredibly valuable and after that you should see what you
:08:11. > :08:15.really want to do. I am not sure that apart from things in medicine
:08:15. > :08:20.and dentistry, the argument is about having to be vocational from
:08:20. > :08:24.the age of 18. I think that gap years are excellent ways of finding
:08:24. > :08:33.out what your attitude is and gaining life experience and putting
:08:33. > :08:39.that on your CV. The Bills have to be paid. It is very difficult for
:08:39. > :08:43.parents to finance their children? It is and this is about how society
:08:43. > :08:46.views education and its value and the issue of fees in Northern
:08:46. > :08:50.Ireland is going to indicate whether or not without the
:08:50. > :08:53.education highly enough. If we want to have a highly skilled workforce,
:08:53. > :08:58.and that will not be based on how we learnt livings through
:08:58. > :09:02.manufacturing any longer, it will be intellectual industries and we
:09:02. > :09:07.need an highly-skilled workforce and if we decide you want that, we
:09:07. > :09:12.have to encourage young people by working at the minimum fee for
:09:12. > :09:17.university. The argument about paying us back when they earn isn't
:09:17. > :09:24.for me a good enough argument. is a big argument that we could
:09:24. > :09:27.spend a lot of time on but thank you very much for life. Thank you.
:09:27. > :09:30.We've pulled together a list of some websites that might be useful
:09:30. > :09:34.in relation to A levels and what comes next. You'll find them on our
:09:34. > :09:40.Facebook page. You can also get in touch with us on Twitter or by
:09:40. > :09:43.email. Next to County Tyrone, where there has been serious but unusual
:09:43. > :09:53.disruption to the telephone service. To explain why, let's join our
:09:53. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :09:57.district journalist, Gordon Adair. So what's happened, Gordon?
:09:57. > :10:03.isn't unusual for disruption to the phone service, it does happen but
:10:03. > :10:09.what is unusual about this is the reason why. Sometime early
:10:09. > :10:13.yesterday morning it seems that I go the thieves climbed this poll
:10:13. > :10:18.and everyone like it along the road, cut the cables and made off with it.
:10:18. > :10:24.It has caused inconvenience with phones and businesses and a minute
:10:24. > :10:31.or so before we went to air, people said we want Facebook back! And
:10:31. > :10:35.that's not the only problem. Yesterday, this 300 metre stretch
:10:35. > :10:40.of quiet rural road on the Tyrone Armagh border became a very
:10:40. > :10:44.unlikely crime scene. Some time in the early hours, thieves somehow
:10:44. > :10:49.cut down and made off with the telephone cable that ran alongside
:10:49. > :10:56.the road. The result has been a busy today is for BT. And a
:10:57. > :11:01.nightmare for homes and companies. Companies like Muldoon ensuring who
:11:01. > :11:08.depend on phones and the intranet to keep the business ticking over.
:11:08. > :11:11.It isn't just the phones, it is the internet for e-mail and faxes. Even
:11:11. > :11:16.both of our factories, the computer system is linked to the internet
:11:16. > :11:26.and that has been put to bed. We had to move staff to the other yard
:11:26. > :11:38.
:11:38. > :11:43.in order to carry out their tasks. Well, you are wondering... Why
:11:43. > :11:48.would someone steal telephone cables? Copper fetches a very high
:11:48. > :11:53.price at the moment, and one man I spoke to locally told me that
:11:53. > :11:57.earlier this week someone had driven into his yard with a trailer
:11:57. > :12:01.and filled with scrap copper and he wanted the trailer repaired at he
:12:01. > :12:06.said he would repair that but he said he would come back after
:12:06. > :12:11.selling the copper and he came back, 6 ft by 4 ft, and he came back with
:12:11. > :12:15.a cheque for �4,200. So the high price is temptation enough for
:12:15. > :12:21.thieves to be ever more vigilant. Apologies, I don't know if the
:12:21. > :12:24.thieves stole part of that report! Sorry about that. You're watching
:12:24. > :12:27.BBC Newsline, still to come on the programme. 60 jobs go as another
:12:27. > :12:37.big-name store closes its doors. The Aussies are coming. Northern
:12:37. > :12:40.Ireland secures its first Olympic team base. There's been another
:12:40. > :12:43.blow to the local economy with the news that the TJ Hughes department
:12:43. > :12:48.store in North Belfast is to close its doors this weekend with the
:12:48. > :12:56.loss of more than 60 jobs. It's the latest big-name casualty on the
:12:56. > :13:00.High Street, as our business correspondent, Kevin Magee, reports.
:13:00. > :13:03.This is the latest casualty of the downturn, the TJ Hughes discount
:13:03. > :13:07.store in North Belfast. It joins a long line of well-known names that
:13:07. > :13:11.are disappearing from the High Street. The locally owned
:13:11. > :13:15.electrical goods chain Lisa went under under stiff competition and
:13:15. > :13:21.the music retailer is Abbey also crashed as consumers and online.
:13:21. > :13:25.And will Wednesfield as the product range lost focus. 54 TJ Hughes
:13:25. > :13:32.stores across the UK will close. For have been sold but a reprieve
:13:32. > :13:37.for the Belfast shop is unlikely. At the 11th hour, we do not know.
:13:37. > :13:40.There is a possibility of discussions and decisions, I am not
:13:40. > :13:45.aware of those at this moment. Today's retail spending figures
:13:45. > :13:48.give further evidence that consumers remain under pressure.
:13:48. > :13:54.When prices and costs rise, shoppers do not have as much money
:13:54. > :14:00.to spend. The much more careful about how they spend that and when
:14:00. > :14:02.confidence is low, the retail sector is the first to suffer. The
:14:02. > :14:08.chain failed in its aim to dominate the discount end of the market.
:14:09. > :14:12.Some say it had passed its sell-by date. They were reaching the 100
:14:12. > :14:17.your point in their life cycle and some retailers these days are able
:14:17. > :14:21.to risk -- exist that long. Marks and Spencers and Sainsbury's have
:14:21. > :14:25.exceeded that but like humans, retailers have a life expectancy,
:14:25. > :14:30.and very few reach 100. 64 people will be let go in the shutters come
:14:30. > :14:39.down this weekend. It'll be a jobs blow that North Belfast cannot
:14:39. > :14:43.A 24-year-old man has appeared in court charged with raping a man. It
:14:43. > :14:48.used to cannot be identified for legal reasons was arrested in
:14:48. > :14:54.England on Tuesday. The charges relate to incident so that took
:14:54. > :14:59.place in hotels, private addresses and secure locations. The judge
:14:59. > :15:02.reported restricted reporting for genuine concerns of the accused.
:15:02. > :15:06.Bail was refused and he was remanded in custody.
:15:06. > :15:09.The owner of a horse which suffered serious knife wounds says he was
:15:10. > :15:14.threatened by the teenage gang who carried out the attack in
:15:14. > :15:17.Londonderry. The vet he treated the horse says he is appalled at what
:15:17. > :15:25.happened but says cruelty to animals is becoming more and more
:15:25. > :15:28.common. Patches a five-year-old mare is now
:15:28. > :15:32.recovering from her horrendous injuries. She was graining on her
:15:32. > :15:37.owner's land when a dozen young people with hooded tops called her
:15:37. > :15:46.over to a fence and cut her with a knife. The owner says the youths
:15:46. > :15:51.also be threatened him. challenged them. One had a knife on
:15:51. > :15:58.him. God knows what they would have done to May. If they can do that to
:15:58. > :16:02.an animal, what would they do to a human. The vet was unable to stitch
:16:02. > :16:09.the card. He is currently treating the horse with iodine to cleanse
:16:09. > :16:16.the area infected. The course will also receive regular injections.
:16:16. > :16:22.is becoming more common. I cannot understand why young people have
:16:22. > :16:28.nothing better to do. Cruelty to animals is becoming more common. I
:16:28. > :16:33.have not seen that many horses, but we have seen a few dogs mistreated.
:16:33. > :16:39.In my experience, almost 40 years in practice, cruelty is becoming
:16:39. > :16:45.more common. The owner's mother says patches is popular with local
:16:45. > :16:52.children who regularly feed her through the fence. Anybody would
:16:52. > :17:01.have the notion to come out with a knife and abuse and animal, what is
:17:01. > :17:04.wrong with them? What is wrong with them? Residents of this area say
:17:04. > :17:09.there is an ongoing problem with anti-social behaviour. They say
:17:09. > :17:12.every weekend, groups of young people gather here to drink and
:17:12. > :17:19.cause a general nuisance. They want something done about the situation
:17:19. > :17:23.urgently. Now to the story we have been
:17:23. > :17:28.following of the young Fermanagh footballer who was in a coma for
:17:28. > :17:32.more than a month one injured in a match in San Francisco. An incident
:17:32. > :17:36.left Mark McGovern with serious head injuries. This evening,
:17:36. > :17:46.friends and family in his home village are holding an event as he
:17:46. > :17:50.continues his recovery in the US. Thomas Niblock is live in Blacklion.
:17:50. > :18:00.I am here where there is a fund raising event taking place here to
:18:00. > :18:04.nine. A couple of Gentleman would bite to speak to. Sean, you are
:18:04. > :18:11.organising the fund raising. Mark was a very -- very close to death.
:18:11. > :18:16.How is the recovering? Mark lay motionless for five weeks in the
:18:16. > :18:20.hospital in San Francisco and is now out of the coma. He is starting
:18:20. > :18:27.to talk slowly and starting to learn to walk again, but it is a
:18:27. > :18:36.long way off, a full recovery is a long way off. Brain injuries, the
:18:36. > :18:42.best of care is a century -- essential. It is a fund-raising
:18:42. > :18:48.event tonight. I have heard the figure of $1.2 million to help mark.
:18:48. > :18:53.How difficult is it to raise that? It is a big amount but the amount
:18:53. > :19:01.of good will we have had from all sections of the community, the fact
:19:01. > :19:05.that Mark has got this far based on the support of the community is a
:19:05. > :19:13.plus. But we need everybody support in order to garner as much money as
:19:13. > :19:18.possible. Tim, you are the chairman of the club. Everyone has been
:19:18. > :19:26.trying to chair this fund-raising effort. It is the occasions like
:19:26. > :19:31.this that we have really come into our own. There could well has been
:19:31. > :19:35.unbelievable. Also the local clubs have been very good to us. And
:19:35. > :19:41.clubs outside the county have been brilliant also. We appreciate their
:19:41. > :19:44.support. All the best for tonight's fund-raising efforts. Now on to
:19:44. > :19:50.athletics and it has been a long time coming but the Australian
:19:50. > :19:55.boxing team will use Belfast as their base for London 2012. As the
:19:55. > :19:59.sports minister revealed, there may be more to follow.
:19:59. > :20:03.Over the past 20 years, the Australian Olympic team have
:20:03. > :20:06.consistently been in the top 10 medal count at the Games. They take
:20:06. > :20:13.their sport very seriously and today, it was announced that their
:20:13. > :20:18.boxing team from Down Under for the use Belfast as their base before
:20:18. > :20:24.London 2012. Australia have said they intend to be here next summer,
:20:24. > :20:32.which is really good news. Sports Northern Ireland, in conjunction
:20:32. > :20:36.with others, had tried so insecure pre-Games training for here. I am
:20:36. > :20:40.confident they have done well so far and I am confident they will do
:20:40. > :20:46.a good job. Are there any other nations that make use of Northern
:20:46. > :20:50.Ireland as a base? There will be others but you'll appreciate that
:20:50. > :20:57.this is a competitive arena and we do not want to reveal our cars. We
:20:58. > :21:02.will play them close to our chest and try to secured games here.
:21:02. > :21:06.Perhaps more to come. The Chinese gymnastics team have already stated
:21:06. > :21:13.that they are very interested in basing themselves in Lisburn,
:21:13. > :21:18.although they have to confirm that indefinite. But the coach has no
:21:18. > :21:23.doubt why the Australian boxers want to come here. The they are the
:21:23. > :21:30.number one boxing team in the Commonwealth. They are certainly
:21:30. > :21:36.higher up their. Additive that respect factor as well as
:21:36. > :21:41.facilities that has Lord the Australians to Belfast. Three A's
:21:41. > :21:45.in your AS-levels? That is what Ian Sloan received this morning in
:21:45. > :21:48.Germany. The reason why he is there is because he is the youngest
:21:48. > :21:53.member of the men's hockey squad taking part in the European
:21:53. > :21:59.Championships which start this weekend.
:21:59. > :22:03.England, France, Holland - bring them on. Ian Sloan is ready. He is
:22:03. > :22:08.the Cookstown High School pupil who led his team to victory in several
:22:08. > :22:12.prestigious competitions, including the McCullagh Cup this year. But he
:22:12. > :22:21.has made the transition from minor to major league and is focusing on
:22:21. > :22:26.his performance in the green jersey for the Europeans. They had made me
:22:26. > :22:32.feel very welcome. It will be a tough challenge but the defeated
:22:32. > :22:36.Argentina and South Korea. We have the belief we can go and do it.
:22:36. > :22:41.European Championships have fallen at a fortunate time for Ian because
:22:41. > :22:47.he is still a schoolboy but it will not be a conflict between the pitch
:22:47. > :22:53.and the books. Because he gets time off. The principle of his school is
:22:53. > :22:57.his mother also. Possibly some might have raised an eyebrow when
:22:57. > :23:03.he was called into the squad to play the matches against Australia
:23:03. > :23:09.and Korea, but after five minutes of playing, he slotted in perfectly.
:23:10. > :23:14.He stands out now. And Ireland will need stand-up performances at these
:23:14. > :23:22.championships. The top three Finnis and an automatic place in the
:23:22. > :23:27.London Olympics a massive incentive. Good luck to Ian and the boys.
:23:27. > :23:33.Ireland's rugby team are currently taking place. They're playing their
:23:33. > :23:37.third warm-up game against Connacht. They are leading. Back to the
:23:37. > :23:42.studio. Now to the search to discover more
:23:42. > :23:45.about the huge asteroid behind us called Vesta, which is deep in
:23:45. > :23:50.space. Scientists are spending millions of dollars trying to find
:23:50. > :23:56.out more about it but you do not have to go that far to see what it
:23:56. > :24:01.is made of. These are some of the latest NASA
:24:01. > :24:07.pictures of Vesta. They were sent by the spacecraft dawned that is
:24:07. > :24:11.now in orbit around the asteroid. Vesta is a huge asteroid, more than
:24:11. > :24:17.300 miles across but over the millions of years, it has been
:24:17. > :24:27.repeatedly hit by space debris. It is that debris that fell to earth,
:24:27. > :24:31.including this that is in the Ulster -- Ulster Museum. This fell
:24:31. > :24:34.in October 1960 and two ranch hands saw it come down. Subsequently,
:24:35. > :24:38.people went to retrieve it. latest photo showed there is a huge
:24:38. > :24:43.crater at the top of Vesta, the result of a massive collision with
:24:43. > :24:47.another asteroid a billion years ago. What happened is that greater
:24:47. > :24:52.spat out vast chunks, some kilometres across, and there is a
:24:52. > :24:59.whole chain of small asteroids spreading along from Vesta, which
:24:59. > :25:05.recalled the best rates. This is probably a chip of one of those.
:25:05. > :25:10.the spacecraft closes in on Vesta, the pictures get better. But you do
:25:10. > :25:15.not need a computer or a spacecraft to see a bit of the action. It cost
:25:15. > :25:19.half-a- billion dollars to send the space shuttle to Vesta and it took
:25:19. > :25:26.about three years to get there. To come to the Ulster Museum and see a
:25:26. > :25:32.piece of Vesta is free except for the cost of a bus fare. However, it
:25:32. > :25:40.is a bit smaller than Connacht -- Vesta itself.
:25:40. > :25:44.Right on our doorstep. Let's see if the weather is fascinating.
:25:44. > :25:49.I should mention that it is not a bad night for stargazers as they
:25:49. > :25:54.should be some clear skies. A few showers around today, some
:25:54. > :25:58.showers around today, some lingering tonight. Scenes such as
:25:58. > :26:07.this one were commonplace today. The battle between sunny skies and
:26:07. > :26:11.cloudier conditions. A bit of sunshine to enjoy this evening and
:26:11. > :26:18.the showers will tend to fade away. The clouds melt away during the
:26:18. > :26:21.course of tonight. Another chilly night, barely a puff of wind.
:26:21. > :26:27.Temperatures of four or five Celsius and the chance of the odd
:26:27. > :26:35.pocket of mist. Tomorrow, a very different day in store. Cloudy,
:26:35. > :26:43.damp and breezy. We will say goodbye to their sunny skies.
:26:43. > :26:48.Difficult conditions tomorrow for holidaymakers and farmers. No let
:26:48. > :26:53.up for tomorrow. First thing, a bit of mist lingering in places. A bit
:26:53. > :26:58.of sunshine to begin, especially towards the east, but you can not
:26:58. > :27:05.depend on it. The sunshine will not last. The breeze will bring in
:27:05. > :27:09.plenty of cloud and outbreaks of rain. Raining across parts of
:27:09. > :27:14.Londonderry, Fermanagh and Tyrone and this band of rain will work its
:27:14. > :27:20.way eastwards. Turning cloudy and damp across most parts by lunchtime
:27:20. > :27:27.tomorrow. It will not be raining all day long, we are not expecting
:27:27. > :27:31.heavy pulses of rain, at worst, we are talking of the odd, moderate
:27:31. > :27:37.burst. A damp and drizzly day. Breezy as well and as a result, it
:27:37. > :27:41.will feel rather fresh - temperatures around 17 Celsius. A
:27:41. > :27:47.different feel tomorrow. Generally sunshine and showers for the
