:00:59. > :01:02.I heroes welcome home for are two Oscar-winning film makers.
:01:02. > :01:11.And a dry and cold night coming up, it is looking more unsettled from
:01:11. > :01:15.tomorrow onwards. Northern Ireland has a new world
:01:16. > :01:21.champion, at the ripe old age of 22, Holywood golfer Rory McIlroy has
:01:21. > :01:25.made it to number one in the world rankings, as he won the weekend's
:01:25. > :01:31.Honda Classic. It is the fulfilment of an ambition that began in his
:01:31. > :01:35.home club in County Down. Stephen Watson is there for us.
:01:35. > :01:38.Here at Holywood Golf Club where it all started for young Rory McIlroy.
:01:38. > :01:44.As a kid, he always believed he could be the best golfer in the
:01:44. > :01:48.world. From that boyhood ambition, he has developed into a truly
:01:48. > :01:52.global sporting superstar. Nine months ago we were here to see him
:01:52. > :01:57.return home triumphantly with the US Open trophy. That was his first
:01:57. > :02:01.major championship success. Now the club is celebrating another magical
:02:01. > :02:06.milestone for Rory. He is the second youngest world number one
:02:06. > :02:16.ever, behind Tiger Woods. Last year was Rory's coming of age. Last
:02:16. > :02:21.night, was truly his coronation. Rory McIlroy has realised his dream.
:02:21. > :02:26.He has ascended to the top of the world. The prize money may have
:02:26. > :02:30.been $1 million, but the achievement was priceless. As Rory
:02:30. > :02:34.McIlroy fulfilled his lifetime's ambition. It was always a dream of
:02:34. > :02:42.mine to become world number one, the best player in the world or at
:02:42. > :02:49.everyone to college. -- or whatever you want to call it. Being able to
:02:49. > :02:53.go to the top of the world rankings, it meant a lot to go out there. I
:02:53. > :02:58.did what they needed to do to get the job done. He gave a golfing
:02:58. > :03:04.masterclass to prove why he has become the best at the sport. And
:03:04. > :03:10.he had to hold of the challenger, former world number one Tiger Woods.
:03:10. > :03:20.-- hold off. He was back to his best, but Rory McIlroy was
:03:20. > :03:23.
:03:23. > :03:26.unflappable. I think Rory finished in the top 10 or so they let that.
:03:26. > :03:33.So, that is pretty impressive playing. That is what you have to
:03:33. > :03:41.do. You will not win every time, but you can be so insist -- be
:03:41. > :03:47.consistent and that what he has done. He may just be 22 years old,
:03:47. > :03:57.but Rory Mackle right intends to stay world number one for sometimes.
:03:57. > :03:57.
:03:57. > :04:01.-- and Rory McIlroy. If I can do that, if guys can get me off the
:04:01. > :04:05.top spot. The by I am playing at the moment, the level of
:04:05. > :04:12.consistency, I could stay there for a while. It is good for the game
:04:12. > :04:20.and everyone is excited. I know I am. Looking forward to getting back
:04:20. > :04:25.and giving it another shot. another trophy for the collection.
:04:25. > :04:31.As the young man from Hollywood finds himself on top of the world.
:04:31. > :04:35.Last year he famous they had a meltdown at the British Masters
:04:35. > :04:38.tournament. Since then he has proved he is the comeback Kid and
:04:38. > :04:42.who would bet against him winning the tournament in just a few weeks'
:04:42. > :04:46.time? I will be back later when I will be talking to the man who has
:04:46. > :04:50.coached Rory McIlroy every step of the way.
:04:50. > :04:53.Or from Steven later for stock they are growing fears that a First
:04:53. > :04:57.Trust Bank is on the verge of announcing hundreds of job losses.
:04:57. > :05:02.The company is controlled by Allied Irish Bank which was taken over by
:05:02. > :05:10.the Irish Government when it lost billions in the property crash.
:05:10. > :05:13.Kevin Magee is with me now. This has been a long time coming.
:05:13. > :05:19.The AIB Group announced in April last year that it could be looking
:05:19. > :05:23.for about 2,000 redundancies across all its operations, including the a
:05:23. > :05:26.and be back in the south, First Trust in Northern Ireland and
:05:26. > :05:29.interests in Great Britain. There was speculation in the media in
:05:29. > :05:34.Dublin at the weekend that an announcement would be made sometime
:05:34. > :05:40.this week. The bank is saying it is still a negotiations with the
:05:40. > :05:45.Department of Finance in Dublin. Since the bank was effectively
:05:45. > :05:50.nationalised, it owns the AIB. No decision will be made until those
:05:50. > :05:55.discussions have concluded. there are fears that First Trust
:05:55. > :06:00.will cut hundreds of jobs. Can you be specific? We do not know the
:06:00. > :06:04.specifics for the details yet, but if those job losses are
:06:04. > :06:09.proportionately made across all AIB's interests, that would mean
:06:09. > :06:13.that some were in the region of several hundred jobs at First Trust
:06:13. > :06:21.in Northern Ireland could be affected. That is a workforce of
:06:21. > :06:27.about 1,300. When will they know? The bankers union says that the
:06:27. > :06:31.expect an announcement soon. Some time this month. They expect the
:06:31. > :06:35.Bank to give more details on that, full details as to the extent and
:06:35. > :06:40.the scope of these lay-offs. As soon as that happens, I will give
:06:40. > :06:44.you the details. A 40-year-old man and a 35-year-old
:06:44. > :06:48.woman have been charged in connection with a murder of
:06:48. > :06:52.Christopher Mackin, was shot dead in Belfast on Thursday. They are
:06:52. > :06:55.expected to appear before Belfast magistrates court tomorrow. The 27-
:06:56. > :07:00.year-old man and the 24-year-old woman were arrested last night and
:07:00. > :07:03.are still in custody. An investigation into nursing homes
:07:03. > :07:07.has heard claims of appalling treatment of elderly residents,
:07:07. > :07:10.including allegations that some were hospitalised with dehydration
:07:10. > :07:14.and others were forced to wear incontinence pads. The Health
:07:14. > :07:18.Minister says many of the claims are old and have been addressed but
:07:18. > :07:22.the report by the Human Rights Commission will be studied. Here is
:07:22. > :07:27.Julian O'Neill. The elderly in nursing care are
:07:27. > :07:31.among society's most vulnerable and the Human Rights Commission says
:07:31. > :07:37.they are exposed to back practice. A report has detailed allegations
:07:37. > :07:43.of poor treatment. -- bad practice. It is giving cause for concern.
:07:43. > :07:48.are not saying that there is bad practice across the sector, we are
:07:48. > :07:51.talking about bad apples. follows a long investigation.
:07:51. > :07:56.Decommissioned did fieldwork research at for nursing homes, the
:07:56. > :08:00.most damning read it -- revelations came in submissions from members of
:08:00. > :08:04.the public who were answering an appeal for information. A number of
:08:04. > :08:09.disturbing cases were reported. 15 residents were hospitalised with
:08:09. > :08:15.dehydration because a home failed to give them enough to drink. A 17
:08:15. > :08:20.are gap without any food between dinner-time and breakfast. -- 17
:08:20. > :08:26.hour. And residents were told to using Continent pads instead of
:08:26. > :08:30.being taken to the toilet. -- incontinence pads. Suzanne says her
:08:30. > :08:35.late mother was treated badly in nursing care. She was not been
:08:35. > :08:41.lodged, her teeth were not been brushed. She was not receiving her
:08:41. > :08:43.medication. -- she was not being washed. You are paying an
:08:43. > :08:47.extortionate price and like everything else you pay for a
:08:47. > :08:50.standard of care and you expect to receive it. More importantly,
:08:50. > :08:54.whether you are paying or the Government are paying, it comes
:08:54. > :08:59.down to basic human rights and no one deserves to be treated like
:08:59. > :09:03.that. Or any of these people are being treated. A group representing
:09:03. > :09:10.many of Northern Ireland's nursing homes says more money is needed to
:09:10. > :09:14.improve standards. A prisoner costs society �5,000 per week, it really
:09:14. > :09:18.spend just over �500 per week for an older person. There is an issue
:09:18. > :09:21.there that needs to be addressed. They Health Minister says some of
:09:21. > :09:27.the worst allegations are old and have been dealt with. Having been
:09:27. > :09:32.picked up by health care inspectors. But he does accept there may be
:09:32. > :09:37.room for improvement. There is a strong regulation process. However,
:09:37. > :09:42.it is not perfect. The Human Rights Commission are identifying that
:09:42. > :09:45.there are areas that need work and we are happy to look at that.
:09:45. > :09:51.commission says the Stormont Executive man needs to act, and act
:09:51. > :09:54.urgently. You are watching BBC Newsline,
:09:55. > :09:59.still to come on the programme: More than 70 years after the
:09:59. > :10:03.Germans bombed Newtownards, the young servicemen killed are finally
:10:03. > :10:11.commemorated. And any other time we would take
:10:11. > :10:15.the draw, but for the players in Paris, it felt like defeat.
:10:15. > :10:19.The family of a former IRA prisoner shot dead by loyalists 22 years ago
:10:19. > :10:26.have rejected a report by the Historical Enquiries Team was says
:10:26. > :10:29.collusion in the murder. The HET says nine undercover soldiers were
:10:29. > :10:32.close to the scene when some martial was shot dead on leaving
:10:32. > :10:39.Lurgan police station. But it says there is no evidence that security
:10:39. > :10:43.forces knew there was going to be an attack. Vincent Kearney reports.
:10:43. > :10:47.This plaque marks the spot where Sam Marshall were shot dead 22
:10:47. > :10:52.years ago. His family say they believe members of the security
:10:52. > :10:57.forces helped the killers. The 31- year-old former prisoner was shot
:10:57. > :11:04.shortly after leaving Lurgan police station with two other men.
:11:04. > :11:08.Including high-profile Republican, seen here after leaving court. They
:11:09. > :11:13.were walking home after signing in, as part of bail conditions for
:11:13. > :11:18.charges of possession of ammunition. As they turned this corner, gunmen
:11:18. > :11:22.opened fire. Sam Marshall was shot three times in the head. Afterwards,
:11:22. > :11:25.the two survivors claimed they had been under surveillance by
:11:26. > :11:31.undercover soldiers in a car that had driven past them a number of
:11:32. > :11:36.times. The police said there was no surveillance operation. But a
:11:36. > :11:40.report by the Historical Enquiries Team has confirmed there was. It
:11:40. > :11:43.reveals that two undercover soldiers with cameras were in an
:11:44. > :11:48.observation post at Lurgan police station when the three Republicans
:11:49. > :11:53.arrived and left. The report says at least nine soldiers were
:11:53. > :11:56.involved in the surveillance operation. And that they used six
:11:56. > :12:03.different vehicles. Two of the soldiers were on fit and four less
:12:03. > :12:07.than 100 yards away when two gunmen fired shots. The soldiers said they
:12:07. > :12:11.did not intervene to try to stop shooting, because they did not see
:12:11. > :12:17.the attack taking place. Face of the gunmen leaving the scene, but
:12:17. > :12:22.said they did not challenge them because they were too far away. The
:12:22. > :12:26.HET does not make his report publicly available but sent a copy
:12:26. > :12:30.to some martial's family and they decided to release it. They reject
:12:30. > :12:35.the conclusion from the HET that there was no collusion in the
:12:35. > :12:40.shooting. These soldiers were so close to the gunmen. Trained
:12:41. > :12:44.soldiers and they did nothing about it. It just does not add up. Colin
:12:44. > :12:48.Duffy, who was with some marshal the night he was shot, supported
:12:48. > :12:54.that view, would he spoke at a press conference shortly after
:12:54. > :13:02.being acquitted of involvement in the murder of two soldiers.
:13:02. > :13:10.believe that all of these facts, you know, does in my opinion expose
:13:10. > :13:14.this case as being one of the cases which can truly shed light on the
:13:14. > :13:22.area of collusion. Some martial's family want a public inquiry into
:13:22. > :13:25.the circumstances of the shooting. A memorial has been unveiled to a
:13:25. > :13:28.group of young servicemen described by some as forgotten soldiers. The
:13:28. > :13:31.13 men died during the Second World War when Newtownards airfield was
:13:31. > :13:39.bombed. Our district journalist Claire Savage was at today's
:13:39. > :13:46.dedication. Before the Second World War, the
:13:46. > :13:52.German foreign minister landed at Newtonards airfield to meet the
:13:52. > :13:56.Mayor of London three. -- Londonderry. The love our cause
:13:56. > :14:00.back three years ago killing hundreds in the Belfast pits. They
:14:00. > :14:06.also bombed Newtonards airfield killing 13 soldiers, most of them
:14:06. > :14:15.teenagers. It is possible they mistook it for Belfast. Belfast has
:14:15. > :14:19.got a lock. It was a well lit up. They could have been mistaken.
:14:19. > :14:24.Others will tell you the planes came in Thurleigh low. And they
:14:24. > :14:30.knew what they were doing. Emma Maura has been unveiled to the
:14:30. > :14:36.victims. George's father was killed. I was five unsold when he was
:14:36. > :14:40.killed. I never knew him, but I have great pride. I feel very
:14:40. > :14:44.honoured to be here today to represent him and my mother.
:14:44. > :14:51.relative flowing from Texas and says the memorial means a lot.
:14:51. > :14:59.is important for me personally because I never met my uncle, but...
:14:59. > :15:05.It is a chance to do so. Among the 13, there were to 18 year-olds, and
:15:05. > :15:10.16 year-olds. So I thought, these guys are not mentioned on the local
:15:10. > :15:13.war memorial, something has to be done. Some of these have been known
:15:13. > :15:19.as the forgotten soldiers but now there will be a permanent reminder
:15:19. > :15:22.to those who lost their lives. The film director Terry George says
:15:22. > :15:26.his Academy Award is Northern Ireland's Oscar. He won last week
:15:26. > :15:30.for his film The Shore which was produced by his daughter Oorlagh.
:15:30. > :15:33.Most of the cast were local and it was set in County Down. Our
:15:33. > :15:43.reporter Chris Page met the Oscar winners when they arrived back from
:15:43. > :15:43.
:15:43. > :15:48.the United States this morning. A homecoming for an Oscar-winning
:15:48. > :15:55.hero. There was great sense of anticipation as Terry George's
:15:55. > :15:58.plane touched down at Belfast International. And then a great
:15:58. > :16:08.sense of pride, achievement and history as the director and
:16:08. > :16:14.producer appeared with their golden statues. What a tremendous moment
:16:14. > :16:18.this is. Terry George and Oorlagh have brought the biggest award in
:16:18. > :16:24.movie business back to Northern Ireland. There were hugs forever --
:16:24. > :16:31.relatives. What everyone wanted was to hold a real life Oscar. It is
:16:31. > :16:36.really heavy, isn't it? After another walked down the red carpet,
:16:36. > :16:40.Terry George said he wanted his homeland to share his success.
:16:40. > :16:44.film industry particularly in the North, I think, is a vital industry
:16:45. > :16:51.and it is important for me to support it, and because of the
:16:51. > :16:54.support they gave to The Shore and my next film, it is great to come
:16:54. > :16:58.home and this is Northern Ireland's asked. I am excited to share it
:16:58. > :17:03.with my family who were all in the film. And also with everyone who
:17:03. > :17:07.made it possible, so we are looking forward to celebrating we them.
:17:07. > :17:13.celebrations may happen in South Down are where most of the film was
:17:13. > :17:18.shot. I will go and get him. No, I want to surprised him. Was the
:17:18. > :17:22.Academy Award a surprise for the director? I knew from the cast and
:17:22. > :17:25.crew, from the acting we had, from the location, from the spirit of
:17:25. > :17:30.the thing that we had made something special and I am really
:17:30. > :17:34.proud of it and proud of where we shot and proud of what of the elms
:17:34. > :17:39.says. They have plenty of plans to make more movies here but, for now,
:17:39. > :17:47.the father and daughter are taking a break with the Oscar, literally,
:17:47. > :17:52.in the bag. Many of us have been asking why
:17:52. > :17:57.Oorlagh got one and wine Terry George? Why do they both get it? We
:17:57. > :18:00.have been doing some research. While the Oscar celebrations will
:18:00. > :18:03.continue into the night in Killough in County Down, further up the
:18:03. > :18:07.coast in Holywood, the golf club is getting pretty used to global
:18:07. > :18:10.success. Let's go back there to Stephen.
:18:10. > :18:16.And one of the sport's all-time greats on Rory McIlroy's
:18:16. > :18:20.achievement of reaching that world number one ranking.
:18:20. > :18:24.Earlier, we heard from the former world number one Tiger Woods who
:18:24. > :18:29.admits that Rory McIlroy is the best in the business now. How will
:18:30. > :18:33.he handle the pressure had been at the very top? Who better to ask
:18:33. > :18:39.than the man with more Major wins than anyone else, Jack Nicklaus.
:18:39. > :18:47.This is what he told me. He has got a big responsibility to the game of
:18:47. > :18:52.golf and to the world. He is the top player in the world. So if you
:18:52. > :18:56.take that responsibility, you have got youth, you have got the rest of
:18:56. > :19:01.the players looking up to you, the public looking at you. You have got
:19:01. > :19:06.to figure out who you Oregon, and how you handle that, and how you go
:19:06. > :19:11.about being the player you are, the person you are, and been the role
:19:11. > :19:15.model for young kids. I am sure he will handle that very well. There
:19:15. > :19:23.is pressure with everything, but that is what we live off. Drilling
:19:23. > :19:26.Me Live is Rory McIlroy's code. -- joining the live. We heard from
:19:26. > :19:32.Jack Nicklaus saying that Rory McIlroy can handle the pressure and
:19:32. > :19:38.he did so last night and were you proud? Yes, very proud. Coming down
:19:38. > :19:43.the last few holes, he used a bit of strategy. On the 17th, he could
:19:43. > :19:51.lose the tournament, but he held it on. He went on to play the last
:19:51. > :19:55.hole sensibly. Do you think, has he been listening to Jack Nicklaus?
:19:55. > :19:59.Well, you have to listen to him, because he has done a lot and Rory
:19:59. > :20:05.McIlroy will respect that. He was listening intently to him and he
:20:06. > :20:09.got good advice. Paul, you have had some great days here. What
:20:09. > :20:19.differences have you noticed at the club with Rory McIlroy's success
:20:19. > :20:26.has made the main difference has been the amount of tourists. People
:20:26. > :20:30.just want to come here, see where he came from, see where he grew up,
:20:30. > :20:36.see the memorabilia. So it is the increase in people coming to
:20:36. > :20:42.Northern Ireland. We will have to wait for a while for another party,
:20:42. > :20:47.wind we? Yes, he is in America for a while. It is a great coup for the
:20:47. > :20:52.Irish opening having the world number one playing here. What can
:20:52. > :20:56.Michael -- what can Rory achieve? Can you be the best ever? If you
:20:56. > :21:02.look at his last nine starts, and what he have done, he has come out
:21:02. > :21:08.of the traps very quickly, finishing 5th, second, 5th, and on
:21:08. > :21:12.top of the world now, and he will keep going. Thank you both. Stay on,
:21:12. > :21:20.you can give me a lesson! His success has overshadowed the fact
:21:20. > :21:23.that we had another sporting triumph. Snooker player Mark Allen
:21:23. > :21:26.winning the World Open final in China. Allen strolled to victory,
:21:26. > :21:31.10-1, over Stephen Lee, picking up a cheque for �75,000 for his first
:21:31. > :21:35.ranking tournament triumph. Ireland came so close to a first
:21:35. > :21:38.win in Paris in 12 years yesterday but they had to settle for a 17-17
:21:38. > :21:41.draw after a strong second-half from the French in the rearranged
:21:41. > :21:45.Six Nations clash. Thomas Kane reports.
:21:45. > :21:54.Both teams left the pitch feeling this was a game they should have
:21:54. > :21:58.won. If Ireland had had a better chance of victory in the capital.
:21:58. > :22:01.We enjoyed the draw. Very disappointed in the Changing Room
:22:02. > :22:06.because we gave ourselves the best possible start going in at half-
:22:06. > :22:15.time. Those huge positivity, and to come all the -- come away with no
:22:15. > :22:19.points, a massive Downer. And I think we are disappointed. It was
:22:19. > :22:24.an opportunity we needed to take. And we gathered a bit of experience
:22:24. > :22:29.from it. But it is the experience you don't want. That is invaluable.
:22:29. > :22:34.It is a tough place. We're getting close every time. Ireland may have
:22:34. > :22:39.outscored France 2-1 tries, but the power of the boot and the home side
:22:39. > :22:48.a draw. A lot of penalties for friends, not a lot for Ireland. Was
:22:48. > :22:52.it justified? We hope to God that they will make some mistakes. We
:22:52. > :22:57.have a six-day turnaround to play our next game, so we are looking
:22:57. > :23:03.forward to another chance. Many Irish fans didn't make the return
:23:03. > :23:08.trip after the game was postponed. Those who did were not disappointed.
:23:08. > :23:13.We didn't lose, so what a great game. We could have won this match.
:23:14. > :23:19.At the end of the day, coming away with a draw, it is much better than
:23:19. > :23:22.a loss. This may have been just the third time in 60 years that Ireland
:23:23. > :23:27.have left the French capital undefeated, but this was an
:23:27. > :23:30.opportunity missed. And bad news for Ireland tonight.
:23:30. > :23:34.The IRFU has confirmed this evening that captain Paul O'Connell, who we
:23:34. > :23:36.heard from there, has been ruled out of the remainder of the Six
:23:36. > :23:40.Nations with a knee injury and scrum-half Conor Murray will also
:23:40. > :23:42.miss the Scotland and England games. Ulster remain in the hunt for the
:23:42. > :23:46.play-offs in the RaboDirect Pro 12, following their thrilling victory
:23:46. > :23:49.over Edinburgh at Ravenhill on Friday night. The impressive 38-16
:23:49. > :23:52.demolition of the Scottish side, running in six tries and gaining a
:23:52. > :23:58.bonus point in the process, means Ulster are fifth in the table just
:23:58. > :24:01.one point off fourth place and the play-off spots.
:24:01. > :24:07.And this afternoon Ballyclare have made the School's Cup final for the
:24:07. > :24:10.first time in 39 years, beating Wallace High 26-12 at Ravenhill.
:24:10. > :24:16.They will now face either Methodist College or Campbell College in the
:24:16. > :24:19.final. The two Belfast schools meet on Wednesday.
:24:19. > :24:23.Ballymena United face being ejected from the Irish Cup for fielding an
:24:23. > :24:26.ineligible player, new signing Alan Davidson. Their manager has told
:24:26. > :24:36.Newsline he is furious because he had checked with the IFA that the
:24:36. > :24:37.
:24:37. > :24:43.striker could play in the game. Nikki Gregg reports.
:24:43. > :24:47.It seemed like good rates - man daydream when Ballymena United
:24:47. > :24:51.scored this winner. He shouldn't have been on the pitch a tall, this
:24:51. > :24:59.player, which has, as a surprise to his manager. I was on the phone
:24:59. > :25:03.with the girl from the IFA. They told me he was registered under
:25:03. > :25:08.available for selection. So I thought he is fine, he can play
:25:08. > :25:12.Saturday. But he wasn't available for the Irish Cup games. Davidson
:25:12. > :25:16.signed last week, missing the deadline to play in the cup
:25:16. > :25:21.competition. Ballymena 2-1 victory seems to have been erased from the
:25:21. > :25:28.record books. The players have worked so hard to turn it around
:25:28. > :25:32.and now we have one of four games tomorrow. We have now a drop now to
:25:32. > :25:37.do better in the season. Linfield are likely to phase Newry City in
:25:37. > :25:44.the semi-finals with this hat-trick helping the holders to a
:25:44. > :25:50.comfortable win. Crusaders kept up their bit for the cup double. The,
:25:50. > :26:00.Faulkner's late equaliser meant to win over their opponents. There is
:26:00. > :26:04.
:26:04. > :26:08.a few loose ends to be tied up. Now, the weather.
:26:08. > :26:12.It is going to go through some changes through the next 24 hours
:26:12. > :26:16.after what has been a fine start to the week. There were some showers
:26:16. > :26:23.running through, but in between them, some decent spells of
:26:23. > :26:29.sunshine. I hope you made the most of it because the rest of the week
:26:29. > :26:36.is going to be rain or showers. Some of those threatened to turn
:26:36. > :26:41.wintery. Later in the week, it will be fairly unsettled, too. The
:26:41. > :26:44.weather is more-or-less with us, the sunshine. A dry evening tonight,
:26:44. > :26:48.and we will hold on to clear spells for quite a few hours tonight so
:26:48. > :26:54.temperatures will be falling away and for most of us close to
:26:54. > :27:01.freezing, a few rural spots dipping below freezing. Given the showers
:27:01. > :27:07.we had, they could be some icy patches. They will go very quickly,
:27:07. > :27:12.the cloud, but the wind will pick up reading some damp weather. First
:27:12. > :27:17.thing, most places stay dry. The cloud will increase, the breeze
:27:17. > :27:22.will pick up, and probably by around a 9am, we will see
:27:22. > :27:27.persistent rain moving in from Fermanagh into Londonderry. That
:27:27. > :27:31.rain edges East would. It is not particularly heavy by the afternoon,
:27:31. > :27:40.but it is spreading across Antrim and Belfast. Not a pleasant and to
:27:40. > :27:46.the day. -- end to the day. Showers will follow tomorrow night. This
:27:46. > :27:50.photograph was taken yesterday. One of those huge clouds bringing
:27:50. > :27:54.showers, and we might see some more of those on Wednesday.
