:00:15. > :00:19.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor and Noel
:00:19. > :00:21.Thompson. The headlines this Tuesday evening:
:00:21. > :00:27.Big security for the opening of Northern Ireland first "supergrass"
:00:27. > :00:34.trial in over quarter of a century. The police claim in court this man
:00:34. > :00:36.is on the Real IRA Army Council. The incredible story of the
:00:36. > :00:46.customers who ignored this woman as she suffered a seizure in a
:00:46. > :00:46.
:00:46. > :00:50.hospital shop. I was cradling her head and I could
:00:50. > :00:52.feel people nudging as they were squeezing past.
:00:52. > :00:55.Drilling for gas in the rock beneath the Fermanagh countryside -
:00:55. > :01:05.the answer to our energy needs or a threat to the environment? Join me
:01:05. > :01:09.live in Enniskillen. And the Republic's 2012 hopes are
:01:09. > :01:17.still alive but the fate of their they are island could be decided
:01:17. > :01:21.For the first time in a quarter of a century, a supergrass trial has
:01:21. > :01:25.begun in Northern Ireland. The word was shorthand in the Eighties for
:01:25. > :01:28.paramilitaries who gave evidence against fellow terrorists. Today, a
:01:28. > :01:32.former UVF member took the stand to testify against 14 men in at
:01:32. > :01:35.Belfast Crown Court. Robert Stewart was flanked by two
:01:35. > :01:40.police officers as he gave evidence against the people he says were in
:01:40. > :01:44.the same UVF gang. He told the court that a senior UVF man, Mark
:01:44. > :01:47.Haddock, ordered the murder of a UDA rival.
:01:47. > :01:51.It's the opening day of the largest trial in Northern Ireland for
:01:51. > :01:54.decades. Mark Haddock and his 13 co-accused face a litany of
:01:54. > :01:58.terrorist charges. 97 in total, including nine charges of the
:01:58. > :02:01.murder of the UDA man, Tommy English. 17 of causing grievous
:02:01. > :02:11.bodily harm, 14 of possessing a firearm with intent, and five of
:02:11. > :02:15.
:02:15. > :02:25.kidnapping. With more details is our Home
:02:25. > :02:27.
:02:27. > :02:32.Affairs Correspondent. Supporters of some of the 14 defendants stage
:02:32. > :02:38.a protest. Inside the meant set side-by-side flanked by prison
:02:38. > :02:43.officers. Mark Haddock sat out site of the dock. A security measure to
:02:43. > :02:46.protect him as the team of his co- accused were once charged with
:02:46. > :02:53.trying to murder him. Mark Haddock and eight others are charged with
:02:53. > :02:58.the murder of Tommy English. He was shot dead at his home in
:02:58. > :03:03.Newtonabbey on Hallowe'en night 11 years ago. His widow, seen here on
:03:03. > :03:08.the left, was in court as prosecution lawyers outlined the
:03:08. > :03:11.evidence she will give about what happened that night. They said that
:03:11. > :03:16.Tommy English had been lighting fireworks outside their home with
:03:16. > :03:20.his wife and children Shrigley after 6 o'clock and had gone inside
:03:21. > :03:25.for a cup of coffee. They said that Mrs English will tell the court
:03:25. > :03:29.that a short time later she heard a knock at the back door and when she
:03:30. > :03:35.opened it up it was forced open and she was confronted by a masked man
:03:35. > :03:40.holding a gun. There were three other mast men behind him. She
:03:40. > :03:44.tried to stop the men coming in but she was forced aside. She then
:03:44. > :03:50.heard shots and saw her husband lying on the floor and three of the
:03:50. > :03:55.attackers leaving. At that stage the 4th man shouted at them to come
:03:55. > :03:59.back and make sure they finished him off. A gunman then fired again
:03:59. > :04:03.at Tommy English as he laid on the floor. It took cord and care just
:04:03. > :04:07.over an hour to outline the prosecution case against the nine
:04:07. > :04:12.men charged with the murder. The five others are charged with the
:04:12. > :04:15.range of offences but not murder. This afternoon the limit UVF member
:04:15. > :04:20.Robert Stewart gave evidence. He is one of two brothers who admitted
:04:20. > :04:24.hijacking a car used by the killers and agree to give evidence against
:04:24. > :04:29.others they said were involved in the murder. Flanked by two armed
:04:29. > :04:35.police officers, he told the judge that he had known Mark Haddock
:04:35. > :04:39.since he joined the UVF 17 years ago. He said that Mark Haddock was
:04:39. > :04:43.the UVF commander in the area. Looking at the men in the document
:04:43. > :04:48.outlined how he knew them. The witness told the court that on the
:04:48. > :04:52.afternoon of the day Tommy English was killed, he was in a flat in
:04:52. > :04:56.Newtonabbey with most of the accused. There was a loyalist feud
:04:56. > :05:00.at the time and he said word came through that a UVF member had been
:05:00. > :05:05.shot dead. He said those in the flat reacted with anger and decided
:05:05. > :05:09.to kill a member of the UDA in a revenge attack. He said Mark
:05:09. > :05:14.Haddock and others decided that the victim would become the English who
:05:14. > :05:17.lived about a mile away. Robert Stewart told the court that Mark
:05:17. > :05:26.Haddock ASBOs in the flat who wanted to carry out the shooting.
:05:26. > :05:30.He said three of the men in the dock volunteered. He claimed that
:05:30. > :05:37.Darren Moore, seen here wearing a scarf, said that he would drive
:05:37. > :05:40.them. A short time later he said Mark Haddock left and told them to
:05:40. > :05:45.try a 2 missed the children when they shot Tommy English. He said
:05:45. > :05:49.another of the accused wish them good luck. Robert Stewart then
:05:49. > :05:54.provided more details of his involvement with the UVF. He
:05:54. > :05:59.admitted his role in a serious assaults in 1996 and to beating up
:05:59. > :06:03.victims with a baseball bat. He claimed Mark Haddock and others
:06:03. > :06:11.have been involved in those attacks. The 37 year-old will continue
:06:11. > :06:13.giving evidence tomorrow morning. The supergrass system was used to
:06:13. > :06:15.convict dozens of paramilitaries in the 1980s. Most were freed on
:06:15. > :06:19.appeal because judges ruled the convictions were flawed and unsafe.
:06:19. > :06:23.So will it be any more successful this time round? BBC Newsline's
:06:23. > :06:26.Will Leitch is with me. Will, what's different this time
:06:26. > :06:31.round? The really big difference is a
:06:31. > :06:33.change in the law. In the 1980s, the trials took place under the
:06:33. > :06:38.common law which really meant there was no specific, written legal
:06:38. > :06:41.guidance about what was allowed and what wasn't. That meant there was a
:06:41. > :06:46.real lack of transparency about what witnesses had been offered in
:06:46. > :06:50.return for their evidence. But that changed in 2005 with a new law, the
:06:50. > :06:56.Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, which set out clear guidelines.
:06:56. > :06:58.What are those guidelines? Let's take a look at them. Well, for one
:06:58. > :07:02.thing, the supergrass or co- operating witness has first to
:07:02. > :07:05.admit to all their past crimes and plead guilty before the court. They
:07:05. > :07:08.don't get immunity, but they do a get a big reduction in their
:07:08. > :07:11.sentence. In the case of the Stewart brothers, who are the
:07:11. > :07:15.witnesses in this case, their sentences were cut from 22 years to
:07:15. > :07:19.three years. There is also a written contract between the
:07:19. > :07:22.witness and the prosecutor. If the witness breaks the contract by
:07:22. > :07:26.withdrawing their evidence, then they are back on the hook for the
:07:26. > :07:30.full sentence. In the past that wouldn't have happened. Are there
:07:30. > :07:35.any other differences? Well, in terms of the police investigation,
:07:35. > :07:38.there is a difference. They have two separate teams - one which
:07:38. > :07:45.deals with interrogating the co- operating witness and another which
:07:45. > :07:48.carries out the investigation into specific crimes. The reason for
:07:48. > :07:50.this separation is to avoid the perception that a single team would
:07:50. > :08:00.lead the witness to tailor their story to allow a particular crime
:08:00. > :08:01.
:08:01. > :08:06.to be cleared. And the prosecution has no other evidence other than
:08:06. > :08:11.the work of the Supergrass? Under that legislation this might be all
:08:11. > :08:19.that they had. And they carry out the trial this way because they
:08:19. > :08:23.have to. There is a certain degree of distaste in the legal community
:08:23. > :08:29.for this but the feeling is that it more serious criminals can be put
:08:29. > :08:32.behind bars then that is the price to pay.
:08:32. > :08:35.The police claim a man who appeared in court this morning on terrorism
:08:35. > :08:40.charges is a senior member of the Real IRA. The man was arrested in
:08:40. > :08:47.County Tyrone on Sunday. Here's our district journalist, Gordon Adair.
:08:47. > :08:49.This is Kevin Barry Murphy. Police say he leads the Real IRA in East
:08:49. > :08:55.Tyrone and is part of that organisation's so-called army
:08:55. > :08:58.council. The fingerprints of the Coalisland man where allegedly
:08:58. > :09:03.discovered on a coffee grinder found during a police operation in
:09:03. > :09:08.South Armagh in April. Detectives believe that the coffee grinder was
:09:08. > :09:13.linked to bomb-making material including Semtex which was found in
:09:13. > :09:16.a pilot was stopped. The detective said that the accused had a
:09:16. > :09:20.previous Terrorism belated conviction as the objected to bail
:09:20. > :09:23.and that he was well known through Ireland. In Spain three of his
:09:23. > :09:31.fingerprints had been found on the coffee grinder and they believed it
:09:31. > :09:35.was linked to the bomb-making materials which according to the
:09:35. > :09:39.detective had been found in the car. A defence solicitor said his client
:09:39. > :09:43.would deny the claim that he was a member of the Real IRA and pointed
:09:43. > :09:47.out that he was not charged with membership of any illegal
:09:48. > :09:51.organisation. He said the coffee grinder in question was an everyday
:09:51. > :09:58.household item which could be bought almost anywhere. Bail was
:09:58. > :10:02.granted with took sureties of �20,000 each. But the accused
:10:02. > :10:06.remains in custody tonight after the prosecution launched an
:10:06. > :10:09.immediate appeal. He is due to appear in the High Court in Belfast
:10:09. > :10:11.tomorrow. The father of a teenager with
:10:11. > :10:16.epilepsy has told of his disappointment about how members of
:10:16. > :10:19.the public reacted when his daughter took a seizure. Danielle
:10:19. > :10:21.Burns was treated by paramedics when she became ill in the shop in
:10:21. > :10:27.the Royal Victoria Hospital. But some people were not at all
:10:27. > :10:31.considerate. Chris Page has the story.
:10:31. > :10:35.18 year-old Daniel Burns loves her pets and wants to work as an animal
:10:35. > :10:41.care. But for the past two years sea has been almost housebound
:10:41. > :10:43.because of a severe form of epilepsy. Last Wednesday she was
:10:43. > :10:48.treated in the Royal Victoria Hospital and then took a seizure in
:10:48. > :10:52.the hospital shop. Danielle was on the floor. It looks quite
:10:52. > :10:57.frightening it you have not seen a seizure before. She stopped
:10:57. > :11:02.breathing, she convulses and she bit her tongue badly in this
:11:02. > :11:06.particular instance so there was blood. Despite the distressing
:11:06. > :11:11.scene the behaviour of some members of the public is very disappointing.
:11:11. > :11:15.I was cradling her head to stop her injuring herself and I could kill
:11:15. > :11:22.people nudging my back, squeezing past me. They were more interested
:11:22. > :11:26.in buying sandwiches and bars of chocolate. The paramedic was there
:11:26. > :11:31.and this gentleman leant over and tapped him on the shoulder and said,
:11:31. > :11:37.could you pass me that the manner milkshake? The whole shop just went
:11:37. > :11:41.quiet. They all exchanged looks of discussed. David is full of praise
:11:41. > :11:46.for the paramedics and for the shop staff we did all they could. But he
:11:46. > :11:50.was surprised by the reactions of other people. You would not like to
:11:50. > :11:55.think that that was the way that society has changed. I would like
:11:55. > :11:59.to think there is still compassion out there and a bit of
:11:59. > :12:04.understanding. It back home Danielle is recovering. The family
:12:04. > :12:11.hoped that by telling the story it will encourage people to think
:12:11. > :12:13.twice won the seat someone suddenly taken ill. -- when they see someone
:12:13. > :12:16.suddenly taken ill. Still to come on the programme:
:12:16. > :12:21.This former army chaplain tells us why he accepted Martin McGuiness's
:12:21. > :12:28.invite to speak at the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis. And the new hope for
:12:28. > :12:31.stroke patients - local scientists reveal the super scanner.
:12:31. > :12:33.With the price of imported oil and gas going up again, there's a big
:12:34. > :12:38.appetite to find local sources of energy that can ease the pressure
:12:38. > :12:43.on our purse strings. Tapping into underground gas is an option being
:12:43. > :12:46.considered in County Fermanagh. It's called "fracking" and in a
:12:46. > :12:51.moment we'll hear from its opponents and supporters. But first
:12:51. > :13:00.of all this is how it works. The first step involves drilling down
:13:00. > :13:02.and shattering hard shale rock with small explosions. Then water, sand
:13:02. > :13:06.and chemicals are injected into the rock at high pressure, releasing
:13:06. > :13:08.the gas. It's then sucked up into the well. Fracking has come in for
:13:08. > :13:12.negative criticism recently in England when it was linked to two
:13:12. > :13:15.small earthquakes near Blackpool. So what sort of a reaction will
:13:15. > :13:25.people in County Fermanagh have if it's used there? Julian Fowler is
:13:25. > :13:33.
:13:33. > :13:36.Well, not too many people here me know a lot about fracking. Or if
:13:36. > :13:38.they do, they've seen and heard some pretty scary stories. For
:13:38. > :13:41.example, a film called Gaslands was recently screened here which
:13:41. > :13:44.appears to show residents in America setting fire to their tap
:13:44. > :13:53.water after shale gas leak into their water supplies. So, it's not
:13:53. > :14:01.surprising that some people are very concerned. This area behind me
:14:01. > :14:04.will be polluted by the extraction of gas. That will they from noise
:14:04. > :14:09.pollution from lorries drilling right through to the injection of
:14:09. > :14:14.chemical fluids into the Earth. They will surface themselves in
:14:14. > :14:22.five or 10 years' time and we do not know the consequences of that.
:14:22. > :14:27.We should carry out a proper risk assessment. Tamboran is the company
:14:27. > :14:29.which has been given a licence to explore for shale gas in this area.
:14:29. > :14:39.Richard Moormon, are these just scare stories, or can you guarantee
:14:39. > :14:40.
:14:40. > :14:49.that fracking is 100% safe? We will guarantee that fracking is 100%
:14:49. > :14:55.safe. What about the visual and noise impacts on the environment?
:14:55. > :15:02.Accidents can happen. In the United States won in 1,000 wells are
:15:02. > :15:06.failing. Things like that do happen with industrial activity. There are
:15:06. > :15:15.no strict regulations around how much we can work and how much noise
:15:15. > :15:21.we can make. What benefits will thus bring? We are probably talking
:15:21. > :15:27.about 800 local jobs across the areas. Good jobs. People having to
:15:27. > :15:37.look after expensive equipment so it does not feel on us. These jobs
:15:37. > :15:41.will last for 30 to 50 years, there is the option of a career there.
:15:41. > :15:51.Many in the audience will still take some convincing that fracking
:15:51. > :15:54.
:15:54. > :15:57.is safe. A Londonderry Presbyterian minister has defended his decision
:15:57. > :15:59.to address this weekend's Sinn Fein Ard Fheis as an opportunity to
:15:59. > :16:01.build friendships across the political and religious divide. The
:16:01. > :16:04.Reverend David Latimer will make history when he addresses
:16:04. > :16:14.republicans at the Waterfront Hall in Belfast on Friday evening.
:16:14. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:19.Here's our political editor. It is an unlikely friendship. David
:16:19. > :16:25.Latimer her first got in touch with Martin McGuinness to ask for his
:16:25. > :16:31.help in stopping vandals targeting his charge. Their relationship
:16:31. > :16:38.blossomed and now the minister is set to address Sinn Fein's first
:16:38. > :16:44.Ardeche north of the border. would be naive of me to imagine
:16:44. > :16:48.everybody is going to be over the moon with what I am doing but I
:16:48. > :16:53.think the approach to moving our country forward has to be multi-
:16:53. > :17:00.dimensional. Politicians have a particular role, community leaders
:17:00. > :17:05.are doing wonderful work, but the charge by its very message and
:17:05. > :17:09.mission are in the business of transformation. Every year
:17:09. > :17:16.Republicans give a rousing reception to their own president,
:17:16. > :17:20.but what will the make of the Unionist clergy man? It is an
:17:20. > :17:27.opportunity for people of you may not agree with us but still to come
:17:27. > :17:33.and talk with us. There may be some discord among Presbyterians about
:17:33. > :17:37.the minister's acceptance of the invitation but the minister insists
:17:37. > :17:39.he is in tune with changing times. Looking ahead to tomorrow's BBC
:17:39. > :17:49.Newsline and we focus on a controversial move in the health
:17:49. > :17:50.
:17:50. > :17:55.service. Here's our correspondent. After months of speculation,
:17:55. > :18:00.tomorrow the Belfast Health Trust will reveal its plans as to when
:18:00. > :18:05.the doors of the city Hospital's accident and emergency department
:18:05. > :18:09.will close. I will bring you the information on that temporary
:18:09. > :18:15.closure and what impact the move will have on the hundreds of staff
:18:16. > :18:19.who work here, and on you, the patient. Still to come on tonight's
:18:19. > :18:22.BBC Newsline, we look at a new treatment that could help some of
:18:22. > :18:25.the thousands damaged by stroke or head injury. Now, sport, and often
:18:25. > :18:27.we hear the words crucial, vital and 'must win' when it comes to
:18:28. > :18:30.international football games. You could certainly say that about the
:18:31. > :18:39.Northern Ireland and the Republic matches today. Gavin Andrews has
:18:39. > :18:46.the latest on those qualifiers for next year's European Championship.
:18:46. > :18:55.In less than an hour the match against Estonia kicks off. The
:18:55. > :18:59.beautiful city of talent provides a spectacular backdrop. It is win or
:18:59. > :19:05.bust here in Estonia if Northern Ireland are to remain in with a
:19:05. > :19:14.chance of making it to their first major finals in 25 years. They will
:19:14. > :19:18.start with two up front, Chris Brunt and David Healy. He netted
:19:18. > :19:23.the winner of the last time Northern Ireland were here.
:19:23. > :19:31.Qualification is an uphill struggle but the captain is positive. No one
:19:31. > :19:37.is really running away with it. We are still hanging on in there. We
:19:37. > :19:44.also understand that now there is not much room for error, we need to
:19:44. > :19:49.pick up maximum points from these last few games. Over 1,200 Northern
:19:49. > :19:55.Ireland fans are expected here for this evening's game. Many of them
:19:55. > :20:01.have paid a special visit to a memorial for one of Northern
:20:01. > :20:06.Ireland's greatest ever sports men. He lost his life while racing in
:20:06. > :20:12.Estonia in the year 2000. Supporters have left scars, flowers
:20:12. > :20:17.and special plaques to honour the five times world champion. I gamma
:20:17. > :20:23.cricket man really but I go to the matches as well. I came to see this
:20:23. > :20:29.memorial. I remember him racing when I was young. When you see a
:20:29. > :20:34.loss of life of someone from Northern Ireland out here it is
:20:34. > :20:39.important to pay your respects. Those fans are now making their way
:20:39. > :20:42.to the stadium for a tonight's game which has a late kick-off time of
:20:42. > :20:45.half past nine. And there's live coverage of the game on Radio
:20:45. > :20:48.Ulster just after seven. Well, in the last hour, the Republic have
:20:48. > :20:55.managed to secure an 0-0 draw in Moscow that keeps alive their
:20:55. > :21:05.qualification hopes. But it was not pretty. This was always going to be
:21:05. > :21:06.
:21:06. > :21:16.a make or break fixture. Right from the word go, the Russians dominated.
:21:16. > :21:20.
:21:20. > :21:28.The Aston Villa man was the busiest player on the pitch! The Republic
:21:29. > :21:36.were saved again with this core mine-clearance. -- goal line
:21:36. > :21:43.clearance. Keenan went closest for the Republic, but as Russia pushed
:21:43. > :21:50.for a winner the Irish defence held firm to clinch a hard fought. Which
:21:50. > :21:54.could be vital in their qualification bed. Ulster Rugby's
:21:54. > :22:01.latest signing has arrived in Northern Ireland. He is a former
:22:01. > :22:07.New Zealand international. Bleary eyed after almost 30 hours of
:22:07. > :22:13.travelling, he touches down in Belfast ready for a fresh challenge.
:22:13. > :22:20.The 25-year-old New Zealander comes to Northern Ireland with a big
:22:20. > :22:24.reputation from the southern hemisphere. I was looking to make a
:22:24. > :22:29.move and do something, I took a look at the team and the place and
:22:29. > :22:33.decided to do it. I have been in New Zealand all my life, I am
:22:33. > :22:40.looking forward to getting a look around and experiencing something
:22:40. > :22:45.different. He is available to play from next week at a time when key
:22:45. > :22:49.players are in his homeland at the World Cup. After a winning start
:22:49. > :22:54.against Glasgow last weekend his team-mates are excited about what
:22:54. > :22:58.he can bring. He should do really well here, he is the kind of player
:22:58. > :23:04.we need right now. Plenty of experience and knowledge that the
:23:04. > :23:08.young guys can learn from. Friday he will travel to Italy to
:23:08. > :23:10.watch Ulster take on their opponents. Finally, Ireland's
:23:10. > :23:20.cricket team started their four day Intercontinental Cup match against
:23:20. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:30.Namibia today at Stormont. Rain stopped play. Not a good day for
:23:30. > :23:34.cricket today! Ground-breaking research at Queen's University
:23:35. > :23:37.could help the process of recovery for some stroke patients. Using a
:23:37. > :23:41.new machine, scientists are reawakening parts of the brain
:23:41. > :23:51.damaged through stroke. Our reporter has seen the new
:23:51. > :23:58.
:23:58. > :24:06.This 72-year-old suffered a stroke four years ago. He lost the power
:24:06. > :24:12.in his right hand. Now he is volunteering to try out a
:24:13. > :24:17.revolutionary new treatment. Using the only machine of its kind in
:24:17. > :24:23.Ireland D machine can pinpoint the exact location of the damaged brain
:24:23. > :24:29.tissue. They stimulate the area affected by the stroke and after
:24:29. > :24:39.just three sessions it appears to be working. The first time I came I
:24:39. > :24:42.
:24:42. > :24:47.could not make a fist. That is a wonder, a medical! -- a miracle. My
:24:47. > :24:53.hand was useless. The treatment helps the brain recover and could
:24:53. > :24:58.also be used to combat dementia and Alzheimer's. When will it be
:24:58. > :25:05.available in hospitals? It would typically be used in conjunction
:25:05. > :25:08.with an movement therapy. It is a way of enhancing the therapeutic
:25:08. > :25:13.interventions that are there already. In principle, if we
:25:13. > :25:18.continue to show it works, there is no reason it could not be
:25:18. > :25:27.implemented within a couple of years. Until then, the scientists
:25:27. > :25:34.need more volunteers for trials. Fantastic research work going on
:25:34. > :25:44.all over the place. Now let us get the latest on the weather forecast.
:25:44. > :25:45.
:25:45. > :25:50.I like to a, I love windy weather. -- I like today. It really has been
:25:50. > :25:55.about the wind did a. Winds have been gusting in excess of 50 miles
:25:55. > :26:01.an hour a long parts of the north coast. It is all down to the big
:26:01. > :26:06.autumn storm that came our way in the last 24 hours. There have also
:26:06. > :26:12.been fingers of rain moving southwards across Northern Ireland.
:26:12. > :26:16.Things will dry up later on this evening. The winds have caused some
:26:16. > :26:21.disruption to some of the fast ferries across the Channel. There
:26:21. > :26:26.are still some cancellations this evening. This area of rain to the
:26:26. > :26:32.south of Belfast will continue to move southwards in the next couple
:26:32. > :26:41.of hours. Wins will gradually eased away tonight. There will still be a
:26:41. > :26:46.few scattered showers around though rain will east tonight. -- the rain
:26:46. > :26:52.will ease. Tomorrow is another cool and showery day. The wind will not
:26:52. > :26:57.be as strong as today. There will be some showers around in the
:26:57. > :27:04.morning, mostly in the West. There will be a longer spell of rain
:27:04. > :27:14.towards the end of the afternoon. Temperatures will be similar to
:27:14. > :27:18.today. Towards the end of the day we will see this longer spell of
:27:18. > :27:24.been so wet weather returning to most places late in the day and
:27:24. > :27:30.through the evening tomorrow. Still quite breezy. Fortunately, things
:27:30. > :27:35.are looking a bit dry air on Tuesday, the recent sunshine -- on
:27:35. > :27:41.Thursday, the next weather system will move up from the south-west.
:27:41. > :27:48.There will be more rain and windy weather for the end of the week.
:27:49. > :27:53.Temperatures sneaking up into the high teens. We are spoiled! A
