Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Noel Thompson and Donna

:00:13.:00:21.

Traynor. The headlines: Number one in the world, Rory McIlroy achieves

:00:21.:00:27.

his childhood ambition. I am live at Holywood Golf Club

:00:27.:00:30.

which is celebrating another milestone in Rory McIlroy's golfing

:00:30.:00:37.

career. Also on the programme.

:00:37.:00:42.

Fears of hundreds of job cuts at one of the big banks.

:00:42.:00:46.

A human rights report condemns the treatment of all people in some

:00:46.:00:51.

nursing homes. She was not being washed. Her teeth were not been

:00:51.:00:53.

brushed under one deserves to be treated like that.

:00:53.:00:59.

I heroes welcome home for are two Oscar-winning film makers.

:00:59.:01:02.

And a dry and cold night coming up, it is looking more unsettled from

:01:02.:01:11.

tomorrow onwards. Northern Ireland has a new world

:01:11.:01:15.

champion, at the ripe old age of 22, Holywood golfer Rory McIlroy has

:01:16.:01:21.

made it to number one in the world rankings, as he won the weekend's

:01:21.:01:25.

Honda Classic. It is the fulfilment of an ambition that began in his

:01:25.:01:31.

home club in County Down. Stephen Watson is there for us.

:01:31.:01:35.

Here at Holywood Golf Club where it all started for young Rory McIlroy.

:01:35.:01:38.

As a kid, he always believed he could be the best golfer in the

:01:38.:01:44.

world. From that boyhood ambition, he has developed into a truly

:01:44.:01:48.

global sporting superstar. Nine months ago we were here to see him

:01:48.:01:52.

return home triumphantly with the US Open trophy. That was his first

:01:52.:01:57.

major championship success. Now the club is celebrating another magical

:01:57.:02:01.

milestone for Rory. He is the second youngest world number one

:02:01.:02:06.

ever, behind Tiger Woods. Last year was Rory's coming of age. Last

:02:06.:02:16.

night, was truly his coronation. Rory McIlroy has realised his dream.

:02:16.:02:21.

He has ascended to the top of the world. The prize money may have

:02:21.:02:26.

been $1 million, but the achievement was priceless. As Rory

:02:26.:02:30.

McIlroy fulfilled his lifetime's ambition. It was always a dream of

:02:30.:02:34.

mine to become world number one, the best player in the world or at

:02:34.:02:42.

everyone to college. -- or whatever you want to call it. Being able to

:02:42.:02:49.

go to the top of the world rankings, it meant a lot to go out there. I

:02:49.:02:53.

did what they needed to do to get the job done. He gave a golfing

:02:53.:02:58.

masterclass to prove why he has become the best at the sport. And

:02:58.:03:04.

he had to hold of the challenger, former world number one Tiger Woods.

:03:04.:03:10.

-- hold off. He was back to his best, but Rory McIlroy was

:03:10.:03:20.
:03:20.:03:23.

unflappable. I think Rory finished in the top 10 or so they let that.

:03:23.:03:26.

So, that is pretty impressive playing. That is what you have to

:03:26.:03:33.

do. You will not win every time, but you can be so insist -- be

:03:33.:03:41.

consistent and that what he has done. He may just be 22 years old,

:03:41.:03:47.

but Rory Mackle right intends to stay world number one for sometimes.

:03:47.:03:57.
:03:57.:03:57.

-- and Rory McIlroy. If I can do that, if guys can get me off the

:03:57.:04:01.

top spot. The by I am playing at the moment, the level of

:04:01.:04:05.

consistency, I could stay there for a while. It is good for the game

:04:05.:04:12.

and everyone is excited. I know I am. Looking forward to getting back

:04:12.:04:20.

and giving it another shot. another trophy for the collection.

:04:20.:04:25.

As the young man from Hollywood finds himself on top of the world.

:04:25.:04:31.

Last year he famous they had a meltdown at the British Masters

:04:31.:04:35.

tournament. Since then he has proved he is the comeback Kid and

:04:35.:04:38.

who would bet against him winning the tournament in just a few weeks'

:04:38.:04:42.

time? I will be back later when I will be talking to the man who has

:04:42.:04:46.

coached Rory McIlroy every step of the way.

:04:46.:04:50.

Or from Steven later for stock they are growing fears that a First

:04:50.:04:53.

Trust Bank is on the verge of announcing hundreds of job losses.

:04:53.:04:57.

The company is controlled by Allied Irish Bank which was taken over by

:04:57.:05:02.

the Irish Government when it lost billions in the property crash.

:05:02.:05:10.

Kevin Magee is with me now. This has been a long time coming.

:05:10.:05:13.

The AIB Group announced in April last year that it could be looking

:05:13.:05:19.

for about 2,000 redundancies across all its operations, including the a

:05:19.:05:23.

and be back in the south, First Trust in Northern Ireland and

:05:23.:05:26.

interests in Great Britain. There was speculation in the media in

:05:26.:05:29.

Dublin at the weekend that an announcement would be made sometime

:05:29.:05:34.

this week. The bank is saying it is still a negotiations with the

:05:34.:05:40.

Department of Finance in Dublin. Since the bank was effectively

:05:40.:05:45.

nationalised, it owns the AIB. No decision will be made until those

:05:45.:05:50.

discussions have concluded. there are fears that First Trust

:05:50.:05:55.

will cut hundreds of jobs. Can you be specific? We do not know the

:05:55.:06:00.

specifics for the details yet, but if those job losses are

:06:00.:06:04.

proportionately made across all AIB's interests, that would mean

:06:04.:06:09.

that some were in the region of several hundred jobs at First Trust

:06:09.:06:13.

in Northern Ireland could be affected. That is a workforce of

:06:13.:06:21.

about 1,300. When will they know? The bankers union says that the

:06:21.:06:27.

expect an announcement soon. Some time this month. They expect the

:06:27.:06:31.

Bank to give more details on that, full details as to the extent and

:06:31.:06:35.

the scope of these lay-offs. As soon as that happens, I will give

:06:35.:06:40.

you the details. A 40-year-old man and a 35-year-old

:06:40.:06:44.

woman have been charged in connection with a murder of

:06:44.:06:48.

Christopher Mackin, was shot dead in Belfast on Thursday. They are

:06:48.:06:52.

expected to appear before Belfast magistrates court tomorrow. The 27-

:06:52.:06:55.

year-old man and the 24-year-old woman were arrested last night and

:06:56.:07:00.

are still in custody. An investigation into nursing homes

:07:00.:07:03.

has heard claims of appalling treatment of elderly residents,

:07:03.:07:07.

including allegations that some were hospitalised with dehydration

:07:07.:07:10.

and others were forced to wear incontinence pads. The Health

:07:10.:07:14.

Minister says many of the claims are old and have been addressed but

:07:14.:07:18.

the report by the Human Rights Commission will be studied. Here is

:07:18.:07:22.

Julian O'Neill. The elderly in nursing care are

:07:22.:07:27.

among society's most vulnerable and the Human Rights Commission says

:07:27.:07:31.

they are exposed to back practice. A report has detailed allegations

:07:31.:07:37.

of poor treatment. -- bad practice. It is giving cause for concern.

:07:37.:07:43.

are not saying that there is bad practice across the sector, we are

:07:43.:07:48.

talking about bad apples. follows a long investigation.

:07:48.:07:51.

Decommissioned did fieldwork research at for nursing homes, the

:07:51.:07:56.

most damning read it -- revelations came in submissions from members of

:07:56.:08:00.

the public who were answering an appeal for information. A number of

:08:00.:08:04.

disturbing cases were reported. 15 residents were hospitalised with

:08:04.:08:09.

dehydration because a home failed to give them enough to drink. A 17

:08:09.:08:15.

are gap without any food between dinner-time and breakfast. -- 17

:08:15.:08:20.

hour. And residents were told to using Continent pads instead of

:08:20.:08:26.

being taken to the toilet. -- incontinence pads. Suzanne says her

:08:26.:08:30.

late mother was treated badly in nursing care. She was not been

:08:30.:08:35.

lodged, her teeth were not been brushed. She was not receiving her

:08:35.:08:41.

medication. -- she was not being washed. You are paying an

:08:41.:08:43.

extortionate price and like everything else you pay for a

:08:43.:08:47.

standard of care and you expect to receive it. More importantly,

:08:47.:08:50.

whether you are paying or the Government are paying, it comes

:08:50.:08:54.

down to basic human rights and no one deserves to be treated like

:08:54.:08:59.

that. Or any of these people are being treated. A group representing

:08:59.:09:03.

many of Northern Ireland's nursing homes says more money is needed to

:09:03.:09:10.

improve standards. A prisoner costs society �5,000 per week, it really

:09:10.:09:14.

spend just over �500 per week for an older person. There is an issue

:09:14.:09:18.

there that needs to be addressed. They Health Minister says some of

:09:18.:09:21.

the worst allegations are old and have been dealt with. Having been

:09:21.:09:27.

picked up by health care inspectors. But he does accept there may be

:09:27.:09:32.

room for improvement. There is a strong regulation process. However,

:09:32.:09:37.

it is not perfect. The Human Rights Commission are identifying that

:09:37.:09:42.

there are areas that need work and we are happy to look at that.

:09:42.:09:45.

commission says the Stormont Executive man needs to act, and act

:09:45.:09:51.

urgently. You are watching BBC Newsline,

:09:51.:09:54.

still to come on the programme: More than 70 years after the

:09:55.:09:59.

Germans bombed Newtownards, the young servicemen killed are finally

:09:59.:10:03.

commemorated. And any other time we would take

:10:03.:10:11.

the draw, but for the players in Paris, it felt like defeat.

:10:11.:10:15.

The family of a former IRA prisoner shot dead by loyalists 22 years ago

:10:15.:10:19.

have rejected a report by the Historical Enquiries Team was says

:10:19.:10:26.

collusion in the murder. The HET says nine undercover soldiers were

:10:26.:10:29.

close to the scene when some martial was shot dead on leaving

:10:29.:10:32.

Lurgan police station. But it says there is no evidence that security

:10:32.:10:39.

forces knew there was going to be an attack. Vincent Kearney reports.

:10:39.:10:43.

This plaque marks the spot where Sam Marshall were shot dead 22

:10:43.:10:47.

years ago. His family say they believe members of the security

:10:47.:10:52.

forces helped the killers. The 31- year-old former prisoner was shot

:10:52.:10:57.

shortly after leaving Lurgan police station with two other men.

:10:57.:11:04.

Including high-profile Republican, seen here after leaving court. They

:11:04.:11:08.

were walking home after signing in, as part of bail conditions for

:11:09.:11:13.

charges of possession of ammunition. As they turned this corner, gunmen

:11:13.:11:18.

opened fire. Sam Marshall was shot three times in the head. Afterwards,

:11:18.:11:22.

the two survivors claimed they had been under surveillance by

:11:22.:11:25.

undercover soldiers in a car that had driven past them a number of

:11:26.:11:31.

times. The police said there was no surveillance operation. But a

:11:32.:11:36.

report by the Historical Enquiries Team has confirmed there was. It

:11:36.:11:40.

reveals that two undercover soldiers with cameras were in an

:11:40.:11:43.

observation post at Lurgan police station when the three Republicans

:11:44.:11:48.

arrived and left. The report says at least nine soldiers were

:11:49.:11:53.

involved in the surveillance operation. And that they used six

:11:53.:11:56.

different vehicles. Two of the soldiers were on fit and four less

:11:56.:12:03.

than 100 yards away when two gunmen fired shots. The soldiers said they

:12:03.:12:07.

did not intervene to try to stop shooting, because they did not see

:12:07.:12:11.

the attack taking place. Face of the gunmen leaving the scene, but

:12:11.:12:17.

said they did not challenge them because they were too far away. The

:12:17.:12:22.

HET does not make his report publicly available but sent a copy

:12:22.:12:26.

to some martial's family and they decided to release it. They reject

:12:26.:12:30.

the conclusion from the HET that there was no collusion in the

:12:30.:12:35.

shooting. These soldiers were so close to the gunmen. Trained

:12:35.:12:40.

soldiers and they did nothing about it. It just does not add up. Colin

:12:41.:12:44.

Duffy, who was with some marshal the night he was shot, supported

:12:44.:12:48.

that view, would he spoke at a press conference shortly after

:12:48.:12:54.

being acquitted of involvement in the murder of two soldiers.

:12:54.:13:02.

believe that all of these facts, you know, does in my opinion expose

:13:02.:13:10.

this case as being one of the cases which can truly shed light on the

:13:10.:13:14.

area of collusion. Some martial's family want a public inquiry into

:13:14.:13:22.

the circumstances of the shooting. A memorial has been unveiled to a

:13:22.:13:25.

group of young servicemen described by some as forgotten soldiers. The

:13:25.:13:28.

13 men died during the Second World War when Newtownards airfield was

:13:28.:13:31.

bombed. Our district journalist Claire Savage was at today's

:13:31.:13:39.

dedication. Before the Second World War, the

:13:39.:13:46.

German foreign minister landed at Newtonards airfield to meet the

:13:46.:13:52.

Mayor of London three. -- Londonderry. The love our cause

:13:52.:13:56.

back three years ago killing hundreds in the Belfast pits. They

:13:56.:14:00.

also bombed Newtonards airfield killing 13 soldiers, most of them

:14:00.:14:06.

teenagers. It is possible they mistook it for Belfast. Belfast has

:14:06.:14:15.

got a lock. It was a well lit up. They could have been mistaken.

:14:15.:14:19.

Others will tell you the planes came in Thurleigh low. And they

:14:19.:14:24.

knew what they were doing. Emma Maura has been unveiled to the

:14:24.:14:30.

victims. George's father was killed. I was five unsold when he was

:14:30.:14:36.

killed. I never knew him, but I have great pride. I feel very

:14:36.:14:40.

honoured to be here today to represent him and my mother.

:14:40.:14:44.

relative flowing from Texas and says the memorial means a lot.

:14:44.:14:51.

is important for me personally because I never met my uncle, but...

:14:51.:14:59.

It is a chance to do so. Among the 13, there were to 18 year-olds, and

:14:59.:15:05.

16 year-olds. So I thought, these guys are not mentioned on the local

:15:05.:15:10.

war memorial, something has to be done. Some of these have been known

:15:10.:15:13.

as the forgotten soldiers but now there will be a permanent reminder

:15:13.:15:19.

to those who lost their lives. The film director Terry George says

:15:19.:15:22.

his Academy Award is Northern Ireland's Oscar. He won last week

:15:22.:15:26.

for his film The Shore which was produced by his daughter Oorlagh.

:15:26.:15:30.

Most of the cast were local and it was set in County Down. Our

:15:30.:15:33.

reporter Chris Page met the Oscar winners when they arrived back from

:15:33.:15:43.
:15:43.:15:43.

the United States this morning. A homecoming for an Oscar-winning

:15:43.:15:48.

hero. There was great sense of anticipation as Terry George's

:15:48.:15:55.

plane touched down at Belfast International. And then a great

:15:55.:15:58.

sense of pride, achievement and history as the director and

:15:58.:16:08.

producer appeared with their golden statues. What a tremendous moment

:16:08.:16:14.

this is. Terry George and Oorlagh have brought the biggest award in

:16:14.:16:18.

movie business back to Northern Ireland. There were hugs forever --

:16:18.:16:24.

relatives. What everyone wanted was to hold a real life Oscar. It is

:16:24.:16:31.

really heavy, isn't it? After another walked down the red carpet,

:16:31.:16:36.

Terry George said he wanted his homeland to share his success.

:16:36.:16:40.

film industry particularly in the North, I think, is a vital industry

:16:40.:16:44.

and it is important for me to support it, and because of the

:16:45.:16:51.

support they gave to The Shore and my next film, it is great to come

:16:51.:16:54.

home and this is Northern Ireland's asked. I am excited to share it

:16:54.:16:58.

with my family who were all in the film. And also with everyone who

:16:58.:17:03.

made it possible, so we are looking forward to celebrating we them.

:17:03.:17:07.

celebrations may happen in South Down are where most of the film was

:17:07.:17:13.

shot. I will go and get him. No, I want to surprised him. Was the

:17:13.:17:18.

Academy Award a surprise for the director? I knew from the cast and

:17:18.:17:22.

crew, from the acting we had, from the location, from the spirit of

:17:22.:17:25.

the thing that we had made something special and I am really

:17:25.:17:30.

proud of it and proud of where we shot and proud of what of the elms

:17:30.:17:34.

says. They have plenty of plans to make more movies here but, for now,

:17:34.:17:39.

the father and daughter are taking a break with the Oscar, literally,

:17:39.:17:47.

in the bag. Many of us have been asking why

:17:47.:17:52.

Oorlagh got one and wine Terry George? Why do they both get it? We

:17:52.:17:57.

have been doing some research. While the Oscar celebrations will

:17:57.:18:00.

continue into the night in Killough in County Down, further up the

:18:00.:18:03.

coast in Holywood, the golf club is getting pretty used to global

:18:03.:18:07.

success. Let's go back there to Stephen.

:18:07.:18:10.

And one of the sport's all-time greats on Rory McIlroy's

:18:10.:18:16.

achievement of reaching that world number one ranking.

:18:16.:18:20.

Earlier, we heard from the former world number one Tiger Woods who

:18:20.:18:24.

admits that Rory McIlroy is the best in the business now. How will

:18:24.:18:29.

he handle the pressure had been at the very top? Who better to ask

:18:30.:18:33.

than the man with more Major wins than anyone else, Jack Nicklaus.

:18:33.:18:39.

This is what he told me. He has got a big responsibility to the game of

:18:39.:18:47.

golf and to the world. He is the top player in the world. So if you

:18:47.:18:52.

take that responsibility, you have got youth, you have got the rest of

:18:52.:18:56.

the players looking up to you, the public looking at you. You have got

:18:56.:19:01.

to figure out who you Oregon, and how you handle that, and how you go

:19:01.:19:06.

about being the player you are, the person you are, and been the role

:19:06.:19:11.

model for young kids. I am sure he will handle that very well. There

:19:11.:19:15.

is pressure with everything, but that is what we live off. Drilling

:19:15.:19:23.

Me Live is Rory McIlroy's code. -- joining the live. We heard from

:19:23.:19:26.

Jack Nicklaus saying that Rory McIlroy can handle the pressure and

:19:26.:19:32.

he did so last night and were you proud? Yes, very proud. Coming down

:19:32.:19:38.

the last few holes, he used a bit of strategy. On the 17th, he could

:19:38.:19:43.

lose the tournament, but he held it on. He went on to play the last

:19:43.:19:51.

hole sensibly. Do you think, has he been listening to Jack Nicklaus?

:19:51.:19:55.

Well, you have to listen to him, because he has done a lot and Rory

:19:55.:19:59.

McIlroy will respect that. He was listening intently to him and he

:19:59.:20:05.

got good advice. Paul, you have had some great days here. What

:20:06.:20:09.

differences have you noticed at the club with Rory McIlroy's success

:20:09.:20:19.

has made the main difference has been the amount of tourists. People

:20:19.:20:26.

just want to come here, see where he came from, see where he grew up,

:20:26.:20:30.

see the memorabilia. So it is the increase in people coming to

:20:30.:20:36.

Northern Ireland. We will have to wait for a while for another party,

:20:36.:20:42.

wind we? Yes, he is in America for a while. It is a great coup for the

:20:42.:20:47.

Irish opening having the world number one playing here. What can

:20:47.:20:52.

Michael -- what can Rory achieve? Can you be the best ever? If you

:20:52.:20:56.

look at his last nine starts, and what he have done, he has come out

:20:56.:21:02.

of the traps very quickly, finishing 5th, second, 5th, and on

:21:02.:21:08.

top of the world now, and he will keep going. Thank you both. Stay on,

:21:08.:21:12.

you can give me a lesson! His success has overshadowed the fact

:21:12.:21:20.

that we had another sporting triumph. Snooker player Mark Allen

:21:20.:21:23.

winning the World Open final in China. Allen strolled to victory,

:21:23.:21:26.

10-1, over Stephen Lee, picking up a cheque for �75,000 for his first

:21:26.:21:31.

ranking tournament triumph. Ireland came so close to a first

:21:31.:21:35.

win in Paris in 12 years yesterday but they had to settle for a 17-17

:21:35.:21:38.

draw after a strong second-half from the French in the rearranged

:21:38.:21:41.

Six Nations clash. Thomas Kane reports.

:21:41.:21:45.

Both teams left the pitch feeling this was a game they should have

:21:45.:21:54.

won. If Ireland had had a better chance of victory in the capital.

:21:54.:21:58.

We enjoyed the draw. Very disappointed in the Changing Room

:21:58.:22:01.

because we gave ourselves the best possible start going in at half-

:22:02.:22:06.

time. Those huge positivity, and to come all the -- come away with no

:22:06.:22:15.

points, a massive Downer. And I think we are disappointed. It was

:22:15.:22:19.

an opportunity we needed to take. And we gathered a bit of experience

:22:19.:22:24.

from it. But it is the experience you don't want. That is invaluable.

:22:24.:22:29.

It is a tough place. We're getting close every time. Ireland may have

:22:29.:22:34.

outscored France 2-1 tries, but the power of the boot and the home side

:22:34.:22:39.

a draw. A lot of penalties for friends, not a lot for Ireland. Was

:22:39.:22:48.

it justified? We hope to God that they will make some mistakes. We

:22:48.:22:52.

have a six-day turnaround to play our next game, so we are looking

:22:52.:22:57.

forward to another chance. Many Irish fans didn't make the return

:22:57.:23:03.

trip after the game was postponed. Those who did were not disappointed.

:23:03.:23:08.

We didn't lose, so what a great game. We could have won this match.

:23:08.:23:13.

At the end of the day, coming away with a draw, it is much better than

:23:14.:23:19.

a loss. This may have been just the third time in 60 years that Ireland

:23:19.:23:22.

have left the French capital undefeated, but this was an

:23:23.:23:27.

opportunity missed. And bad news for Ireland tonight.

:23:27.:23:30.

The IRFU has confirmed this evening that captain Paul O'Connell, who we

:23:30.:23:34.

heard from there, has been ruled out of the remainder of the Six

:23:34.:23:36.

Nations with a knee injury and scrum-half Conor Murray will also

:23:36.:23:40.

miss the Scotland and England games. Ulster remain in the hunt for the

:23:40.:23:42.

play-offs in the RaboDirect Pro 12, following their thrilling victory

:23:42.:23:46.

over Edinburgh at Ravenhill on Friday night. The impressive 38-16

:23:46.:23:49.

demolition of the Scottish side, running in six tries and gaining a

:23:49.:23:52.

bonus point in the process, means Ulster are fifth in the table just

:23:52.:23:58.

one point off fourth place and the play-off spots.

:23:58.:24:01.

And this afternoon Ballyclare have made the School's Cup final for the

:24:01.:24:07.

first time in 39 years, beating Wallace High 26-12 at Ravenhill.

:24:07.:24:10.

They will now face either Methodist College or Campbell College in the

:24:10.:24:16.

final. The two Belfast schools meet on Wednesday.

:24:16.:24:19.

Ballymena United face being ejected from the Irish Cup for fielding an

:24:19.:24:23.

ineligible player, new signing Alan Davidson. Their manager has told

:24:23.:24:26.

Newsline he is furious because he had checked with the IFA that the

:24:26.:24:36.
:24:36.:24:37.

striker could play in the game. Nikki Gregg reports.

:24:37.:24:43.

It seemed like good rates - man daydream when Ballymena United

:24:43.:24:47.

scored this winner. He shouldn't have been on the pitch a tall, this

:24:47.:24:51.

player, which has, as a surprise to his manager. I was on the phone

:24:51.:24:59.

with the girl from the IFA. They told me he was registered under

:24:59.:25:03.

available for selection. So I thought he is fine, he can play

:25:03.:25:08.

Saturday. But he wasn't available for the Irish Cup games. Davidson

:25:08.:25:12.

signed last week, missing the deadline to play in the cup

competition. Ballymena 2-1 victory seems to have been erased from the

:25:16.:25:21.

record books. The players have worked so hard to turn it around

:25:21.:25:28.

and now we have one of four games tomorrow. We have now a drop now to

:25:28.:25:32.

do better in the season. Linfield are likely to phase Newry City in

:25:32.:25:37.

the semi-finals with this hat-trick helping the holders to a

:25:37.:25:44.

comfortable win. Crusaders kept up their bit for the cup double. The,

:25:44.:25:50.

Faulkner's late equaliser meant to win over their opponents. There is

:25:50.:26:00.
:26:00.:26:04.

a few loose ends to be tied up. Now, the weather.

:26:04.:26:08.

It is going to go through some changes through the next 24 hours

:26:08.:26:12.

after what has been a fine start to the week. There were some showers

:26:12.:26:16.

running through, but in between them, some decent spells of

:26:16.:26:23.

sunshine. I hope you made the most of it because the rest of the week

:26:23.:26:29.

is going to be rain or showers. Some of those threatened to turn

:26:29.:26:36.

wintery. Later in the week, it will be fairly unsettled, too. The

:26:36.:26:41.

weather is more-or-less with us, the sunshine. A dry evening tonight,

:26:41.:26:44.

and we will hold on to clear spells for quite a few hours tonight so

:26:44.:26:48.

temperatures will be falling away and for most of us close to

:26:48.:26:54.

freezing, a few rural spots dipping below freezing. Given the showers

we had, they could be some icy patches. They will go very quickly,
