:00:16. > :00:22.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Sarah Travers and Donna

:00:22. > :00:25.Traynor. The headlines this Thursday evening: An inquiry begins

:00:25. > :00:30.into last night's collision between a cargo ship and a ferry in Belfast

:00:30. > :00:36.Lough. 2,500 jobs to go at AIB, but how

:00:36. > :00:44.many at their local subsidiary First Trust?

:00:45. > :00:48.Two men are shot within hours of an anti-violence rally in Londonderry.

:00:48. > :00:53.The the worst things and it happened in my life had been very

:00:53. > :00:59.my daughter and see my son get shot. A mystery over the discovery of two

:00:59. > :01:03.bodies in a burnt out car near the border. Echoes of the '80s with a

:01:03. > :01:06.dirty protest by dissident republican prisoners. Ulster Rugby

:01:06. > :01:09.spring a surprise by naming a little-known New Zealander as their

:01:09. > :01:19.new head coach. The temperature has been recovering

:01:19. > :01:23.

:01:23. > :01:27.since yesterday, but don't be counting on a lot of sunshine.

:01:27. > :01:30.Good evening. The captain of the cargo ship which was in a collision

:01:30. > :01:35.with a ferry on Belfast Lough has been charged with being over the

:01:35. > :01:37.alcohol limit. Last night's crash was a mile and a half off-shore

:01:37. > :01:39.between Helen's Bay and Carrickfergus. As Will Leitch

:01:39. > :01:44.reports, both skippers were breathalysed as a matter of course.

:01:44. > :01:50.Can damage in daylight. The cargo ship moored in Belfast Harbour

:01:50. > :01:55.before -- in front of the other ship involved. The ferry with 100

:01:55. > :02:02.passengers and crew was approaching Belfast at the end of the voyage

:02:02. > :02:08.from Birkenhead. The cargo ship had 2000 tonnes of stones and six crew.

:02:08. > :02:15.Somehow the ships crashed. Donaghadee and Bangor Lifeboat

:02:15. > :02:23.raced to the scene. You could see the damage in the darkness. We have

:02:23. > :02:27.to do a full emergency evacuation procedures. The group performed a

:02:27. > :02:31.life jacket demonstration so everybody was made to feel secure.

:02:31. > :02:38.Those on board last night were glad that dramatic episode was over

:02:38. > :02:44.quickly. There was a loud bang. You knew it was a collision of some

:02:44. > :02:48.description. The alarms went off. A bit dramatic. They said they might

:02:48. > :02:54.have to get into lifeboats. investigators are trying to find

:02:54. > :02:59.out how the collision happened. The skippers of the ships were

:02:59. > :03:06.breathalysed. The 55-year-old captain of the cargo vessel was

:03:06. > :03:13.arrested and charged with having consumed excess alcohol. The PSNI

:03:14. > :03:19.are involved in this. Also at the Marine Office will be investigating

:03:19. > :03:25.into looking to enforcement issues that may be applicable. A no more

:03:25. > :03:30.thorough investigation will be undertaken by the accident

:03:30. > :03:35.investigation branch. This chart shows the course the cargo ship

:03:35. > :03:43.took last night. By contrast, the root of the ferry in blue seems

:03:43. > :03:45.relatively undisturbed. The ferry is air charter vessel run by a

:03:45. > :03:50.northern marine management. It has been on this route for just over

:03:50. > :03:54.two weeks. The manager and company also provides the group, apart from

:03:54. > :04:00.the Stena Line employs the work in catering. The vessel is now a

:04:00. > :04:08.disservice. Stena Line has confirmed that it in northern

:04:08. > :04:15.marine management are investigating the concerns of that passenger DAX

:04:15. > :04:20.contacted us. He took pictures of emergency doors blocked by bags and

:04:20. > :04:27.trollies. His concern was the safe evacuation of the ship if it had

:04:27. > :04:31.been sinking last night. Although the ferry was checked last month

:04:31. > :04:37.and passed a safe, it was emerged that the vessel was held over

:04:38. > :04:41.safety issues by investigators in Sweden in January this year.

:04:41. > :04:45.It was confirmed today that 2,500 jobs are being cut at Allied Irish

:04:45. > :04:48.Bank, that is almost 20% of the workforce. So what does it mean for

:04:48. > :04:50.employees in its Northern Ireland subsidiary, First Trust? Our

:04:50. > :05:00.Business and Economics Editor, Jim Fitzpatrick, is outside its Belfast

:05:00. > :05:01.

:05:01. > :05:09.head office. Jim, tell us about the First Trust? First Trust employ

:05:09. > :05:13.1300 people here Northern Ireland. Of the two and a half 1000 jobs

:05:14. > :05:19.lost -- pitch and have 1000 job losses, if they are applied evenly

:05:19. > :05:26.across the group that would equate to 260 jobs going at First Trust.

:05:26. > :05:33.Ulster Bank, our biggest local bank and tax payer owns, it is cutting

:05:33. > :05:38.jobs to the tune of 350. Also Northern Bank has said that it will

:05:38. > :05:42.probably shed around 60 jobs in Northern Ireland in the coming year.

:05:42. > :05:47.Allied international banks has to save 170 million euro out of its

:05:47. > :05:53.annual spend. It says that equates to 2500 jobs, but we're not sure

:05:53. > :05:58.where they will be. We end will we get those staff and the numbers?

:05:59. > :06:05.is all down to the unions and the Irish government. The Ulster Bank

:06:05. > :06:09.is owned by UK taxpayers, First Trust is owned by Irish taxpayers.

:06:09. > :06:14.The Department of Finance in Dublin has to decide on the terms of

:06:14. > :06:20.redundancy. Those negotiations which will take place over the next

:06:20. > :06:25.couple of weeks may not progress things past things like statutory

:06:25. > :06:31.redundancy pay and a little bit more. The Stormont executive is

:06:31. > :06:34.being more ambitious with that strop -- job-creation targets.

:06:35. > :06:39.The executive has nectar like to agree the programme for government

:06:39. > :06:43.and one of the key targets in that was for foreign direct investment.

:06:43. > :06:48.They have increased the amount on that and put in a target for

:06:48. > :06:52.indigenous investment and extra funding for the jobs fund. They say

:06:52. > :06:58.they will invest �1 billion during the lifetime of this it -- during

:06:58. > :07:02.the lifetime of this executive. It is a target, let's see if they

:07:02. > :07:05.reach it. A father who watched as his son and

:07:05. > :07:08.nephew were shot in the legs by gunmen in Londonderry last night

:07:08. > :07:10.says those behind the attack are nothing more than bullies.

:07:10. > :07:15.Republican Action Against Drugs has admitted carrying out the shooting

:07:15. > :07:17.just hours after a protest was held against the organisation. Ciaran

:07:18. > :07:20.McFadden has been speaking to our reporter, Nicola Weir, about the

:07:20. > :07:30.moment his 20-year-old son, also called Ciaran, was targeted close

:07:30. > :07:31.

:07:31. > :07:36.to his home. It is very hard to explain. As a

:07:36. > :07:43.father, do try to it -- try to protect your children. For that to

:07:43. > :07:47.happen in a matter of minutes, it is unreal. Q and McFadden lost his

:07:47. > :07:51.only daughter to meningitis 12 years ago. Last night he said he

:07:51. > :07:55.got he was going to witness the murder of his only son. The two

:07:55. > :08:01.were things I have seen in my life is very my daughter and watch my

:08:01. > :08:07.son getting shot. It is not a nice sight. I hope nobody goes through

:08:07. > :08:13.what I go through. A pair me there is another threat out for two other

:08:13. > :08:18.people. They just have to stop it. Don't put those families through it.

:08:18. > :08:23.The attack happened here in Garden Square, yards from the family home.

:08:23. > :08:27.Those targeted are two other number of young men under threat by a

:08:27. > :08:31.Republican Action Against drugs. The shooting was carried out just

:08:31. > :08:36.hours after a protest against the group in it the Creggan. Amongst

:08:36. > :08:42.the crowd was the mother of Andrew Allen, who was murdered by the

:08:42. > :08:52.organisation last month. Cards, just complete Cal words. Breaking

:08:52. > :08:59.

:08:59. > :09:05.up families. Everybody has had They are not republicans, they are

:09:05. > :09:10.gangsters. People came out last night and told them to move on.

:09:10. > :09:13.There is no room for this carry on in this community. The police

:09:13. > :09:19.refuted any suggestion they were not doing enough to tackle drugs in

:09:19. > :09:25.the city. They said republicans against drugs or acting like

:09:25. > :09:28.nothing more than common criminals. The Gardai are appealing for help

:09:28. > :09:31.in identifying two people whose bodies were found in a burnt out

:09:31. > :09:40.car in County Louth late last night. The discovery was made in

:09:40. > :09:47.Ravensdale Forest between Dundalk and the border. It is believed the

:09:47. > :09:53.pair are from Dublin and there -- police are investigating links to a

:09:53. > :09:57.gangland drug feud. The blue tanned hides the remains of the two bodies

:09:57. > :10:01.and the burnt-out vehicle. The fire was so intense that Gardai could

:10:01. > :10:06.not even read the number plates. The state pathologist was here with

:10:06. > :10:11.others to carry out a forensic examination. Gardai have appealed

:10:11. > :10:17.for information. We're at the early stages of the investigation. I am

:10:17. > :10:24.appealing for witnesses, for anybody that was in the Ripon steel

:10:24. > :10:28.areas -- Ravensdale area. Especially between 10 o'clock and

:10:28. > :10:33.11 o'clock last night. If anybody saw anything suspicious, or knows

:10:33. > :10:39.anything about this incident, or is aware of any body that is missing

:10:39. > :10:42.at the moment. Hearses arrived to collect the remains. Post mortem

:10:42. > :10:52.examinations are expected to be carried out later. An incident room

:10:52. > :10:55.has been set up at Dundalk police station.

:10:55. > :10:59.You're watching BBC Newsline, still to come on the programme: New

:10:59. > :11:03.comfort for the terminally ill at a specialist centre in Antrim.

:11:03. > :11:09.husband and I had fun graced for this unit and little did we think

:11:09. > :11:11.of here just a few weeks after it opened.

:11:11. > :11:17.In the wake of Rory McIlroy's success, another hot sporting

:11:17. > :11:20.prospect to come out of Holywood in Sinn Fein has said dissident

:11:20. > :11:23.republicans on a so-called dirty protest at Maghaberry Prison should

:11:23. > :11:25.be treated as political prisoners and called on the Justice Minister

:11:25. > :11:28.to end strip-searching. David Ford has rejected claims that he reneged

:11:28. > :11:31.on an agreement to end routine strip searches, and says there is

:11:31. > :11:41.no justification for the protest that has been going on since last

:11:41. > :11:47.

:11:47. > :11:53.May. Our home affairs correspondent, The dirty protest, a tactic used by

:11:54. > :11:56.the IRA 30 years ago. Excrement on walls. Today, a similar protest on

:11:56. > :12:05.a smaller scale. It is being carried out by dissident

:12:05. > :12:09.republicans. Until recently, Damien McLaughlin was one of them. He was

:12:09. > :12:15.caught with guns and ammunition and served a couple of years in

:12:15. > :12:23.Maghaberry Prison. Theses have been thrown under the landings. The

:12:23. > :12:27.wings in the mornings, there is pleading going on all day. The

:12:27. > :12:31.stairs are erect, they are rotten. Working conditions are extremely

:12:31. > :12:40.difficult for prison officers. They have to wear protective suits, face

:12:40. > :12:44.masks -- face masks and latex gloves. The BOSS chair is at the

:12:44. > :12:47.heart of this dispute. The prisoners claimed the Department of

:12:47. > :12:52.trust has reneged on an agreement to end routine strip searching and

:12:52. > :12:56.use technology instead. They say they agreed to fall body searches

:12:56. > :13:00.if the scanner detected any hidden items. There was going to be no

:13:00. > :13:04.more stripping, as far as we were concerned, within the prison. All

:13:04. > :13:14.the routine strip searches were going to be dismissed due to this

:13:14. > :13:19.

:13:19. > :13:24.BOSS chair fools but that is not correct. It removed the need for

:13:24. > :13:28.the body searches. But all of those prisoners can be subjected to them.

:13:28. > :13:34.Me D8 is involved in talks also believe the protest wouldn't be

:13:34. > :13:37.taking place if the spirit of my grip -- agreement had been entered

:13:37. > :13:44.into. The minister says his department is examining the

:13:44. > :13:47.possibility of technological alternatives. The spirit of the

:13:47. > :13:51.agreement has been breached by those prisoners that have not

:13:51. > :13:56.appeared to the agreement, and have made threats against prison

:13:56. > :14:03.officers. Those threats have been posted on websites. The spirit of

:14:03. > :14:07.the agreement has been added to by the Department of Justice.

:14:07. > :14:14.investigation that -- visited the protesters yesterday. In 1980, this

:14:14. > :14:20.man was interviewed whilst on hunger strike. He was a political

:14:20. > :14:24.prisoner. Or we are prepared to die a, we are special prisoners. A 32

:14:24. > :14:30.years on, does Sinn Fein regard the dissident protesters as political

:14:30. > :14:36.prisoners? Well, there is no doubt they are prisoners as a result of a

:14:36. > :14:40.political legacy. I think what they have to do, and we will speak to

:14:40. > :14:46.them today, and we will say they should embrace the political

:14:46. > :14:51.process, and we feel their presence in prison is not necessary. So, of

:14:51. > :14:56.a political prisoners? Absolutely. The prison authorities have refused

:14:56. > :14:59.their request to lead BBC Newsline in to Maghaberry Prison to see the

:14:59. > :15:04.conditions. This protest does not enjoy any degree of popular support.

:15:04. > :15:09.In fact, most people are not even aware it is taking place. The

:15:09. > :15:13.prisoners and their families say it will continue until the policy of

:15:13. > :15:21.routine for body searches and. The Prison Authority says that will

:15:21. > :15:23.only happen if they find a secular alternative. -- a secure

:15:23. > :15:26.alternative. More details have emerged about a

:15:26. > :15:29.failed housing scheme which never delivered any of the promised 200

:15:29. > :15:32.homes. �8 million of taxpayer money was sunk into the project. Emails

:15:32. > :15:39.obtained by the BBC reveal concerns about the land purchase and what

:15:39. > :15:43.should happen next. Julian O'Neill reports.

:15:43. > :15:47.Five years ago, Helm Housing bought this side at Great George's Street

:15:48. > :15:55.and since 2010, it has been making money by renting it to a car park

:15:55. > :16:00.operator. But it was meant to build 200 much-needed homes. And �8

:16:00. > :16:05.million from the public purse was used to buy the land. Emails

:16:05. > :16:10.obtained by the BBC reveal unease with in Government circles. One

:16:10. > :16:16.official wrote, it is untenable that we have expended �8 million on

:16:16. > :16:20.this land. We want to avoid any criticism of inaction. Since 2010,

:16:20. > :16:26.the Government could have got the money back with interest but,

:16:26. > :16:30.instead, it is deliberating over a land swap. Helm Housing would get

:16:30. > :16:34.private land at Corporation Street in return for its site being used

:16:34. > :16:40.for rule -- road works. There are reservations about this potential

:16:40. > :16:44.solution. Another of the emails we obtained under freedom of

:16:44. > :16:50.information state of the land swap may not be the best idea, given the

:16:50. > :16:55.site here is still in an area of road congestion. This has become an

:16:55. > :16:59.�8 million problem, but what has also emerged is that before a

:16:59. > :17:04.single penny of taxpayers' money was spent, questions were raised

:17:04. > :17:09.about this project. The Housing Executive and Department of Finance

:17:09. > :17:13.both raised initial doubts in 2007, questioning the location of the

:17:13. > :17:18.site and its suitability for housing. But they went along with

:17:18. > :17:25.the purchase. As one civil servant wrote, it had ministerial

:17:25. > :17:28.endorsement and there was little risk attached to the acquisition.

:17:28. > :17:31.A specialist unit to care for people with serious and fatal

:17:31. > :17:33.illnesses has been unveiled in Antrim. The �5 million unit at

:17:33. > :17:37.Antrim Area Hospital is jointly funded by the Northern Trust and

:17:37. > :17:42.Macmillan Cancer Support. It has 12 ensuite rooms and additional

:17:42. > :17:48.facilities for relatives. Our district journalist Ciara Riddell

:17:48. > :17:53.reports on the difference it's making.

:17:53. > :17:56.Private rooms, en suite bathrooms and secluded patios. This is the

:17:56. > :18:00.new state of the art palliative care unit officially opened by the

:18:00. > :18:04.Health Minister today. It is the first specialist care facility like

:18:04. > :18:08.this to be built with money from a local trust and a charity. This is

:18:08. > :18:13.a result of a partnership between the Northern Trust and the Action

:18:13. > :18:18.on Smoking and Health, going back 13 years. There was a gap

:18:18. > :18:23.identified then in palliative care beds. So, discussion started about

:18:23. > :18:28.10 years ago. And over the years, we have been developing the idea

:18:28. > :18:33.and raising the money. The unit, on the Antrim area hospital site, has

:18:33. > :18:36.been used by numerous patients since opening in June. My husband

:18:36. > :18:42.and I punt raised for this unit and little did we think we would be

:18:42. > :18:47.requiring the services, just a few weeks after it opened. His last

:18:47. > :18:52.weeks, he spent here. He did it -- he needed an awful lot of pain

:18:52. > :18:57.relief, not available at home. I knew he was having 24 hour care,

:18:57. > :19:02.what he needed, when he needed, from the most wonderful stuff in

:19:02. > :19:05.the world. That was a great comfort to know. To care for people in an

:19:05. > :19:10.environment like this really is lovely. It is lovely for patients

:19:10. > :19:16.and families. The rooms are amazing. Somebody can slipover and stay with

:19:16. > :19:21.their relatives as well. But the main thing is most patients would

:19:21. > :19:25.say this is on a hospital site, but it doesn't feel like a main

:19:25. > :19:29.hospital, it is a home-from-home environment. Action on Smoking and

:19:29. > :19:33.Health fundraisers raised �2 million for the �5 million needed

:19:33. > :19:37.to build this unit with the Northern Trust providing the rest.

:19:37. > :19:40.It is hoped partnerships like this can be replicated elsewhere.

:19:40. > :19:48.The new Ulster rugby coach was revealed today. And it's not a name

:19:48. > :19:51.fans were expecting. We broke the story earlier today.

:19:51. > :19:54.It's not a name fans will probably even have heard before. But New

:19:54. > :19:56.Zealander Mark Anscombe comes with a formidable reputation. He's

:19:56. > :19:59.coached in world rugby's most competitive environment for the

:19:59. > :20:03.last 15 years. The Kiwi will replace current head coach Brian

:20:03. > :20:11.McLaughlin at the end of the season and take up his two year post on

:20:11. > :20:15.June 1st. Gavin Andrews reports. This is the coach Ulster are

:20:15. > :20:19.pinning their future ambitions on. Even the man but appointed him only

:20:19. > :20:25.recently discovered his pedigree. At the start of this process, it

:20:25. > :20:29.wasn't a name I was familiar with. I was aware he had coached some

:20:29. > :20:33.teams, and their successors. We interviewed him, he hit a lot of

:20:33. > :20:39.what we were looking for, and he spent last weekend in Belfast. We

:20:39. > :20:42.got a chance to talk to him further. And, really, confirm the fact that

:20:42. > :20:47.he was the right man for All Star. The Kiwi comes with an impressive

:20:47. > :20:51.CV. The 54-year-old has finished a three-year term as head coach of

:20:51. > :20:57.Auckland, combining that role as a member of the coaching staff of the

:20:57. > :21:01.New Zealand Under 20 team, which will have -- has won the Wall

:21:01. > :21:08.Championship for the past four years. He has also coached an Irish

:21:08. > :21:13.team in the early 80s. He had worked with two New Zealand players,

:21:13. > :21:19.and Humphreys believes he can take a world-class squad to the next 11.

:21:19. > :21:26.We believe we have got the person with the right requirements. The

:21:26. > :21:30.rest of the coaching team, it is about moving forward. We will look

:21:30. > :21:36.back in three years' time and see how we have moved forward.

:21:36. > :21:39.current coach, Brian McLaughlin, has guided Ulster in -- to a second

:21:39. > :21:46.consecutive quarter-final. So Mark Anscombe will have to bring a

:21:46. > :21:49.winning formula. Then his new -- in his first

:21:49. > :21:57.interview, Mark Anscombe has been speaking from Auckland about the

:21:57. > :22:02.challenge awaiting him. It is an exciting challenge. And Ulster,

:22:02. > :22:07.they have been developing. Who they have got a few new players coming

:22:07. > :22:11.in. They have been strengthening the squad. The foundation is there.

:22:11. > :22:16.There is a lot of work that needs to be done to go to the next step.

:22:16. > :22:19.Or with me is the former Ulster captain. As a New Zealander

:22:19. > :22:25.yourself, what would your fellow- countryman bring to the job? First

:22:25. > :22:29.and foremost, they are looking to bring him in because he has got a

:22:29. > :22:34.lot of technical ability, and that is a key thing they are looking to

:22:34. > :22:37.bring on the youngsters in. They need that strong technical support

:22:37. > :22:43.to enhance their careers and also to enhance the performance of

:22:43. > :22:47.Ulster. He is coming in and the goals have been set high. Is he

:22:47. > :22:51.under a serious amount of pressure from the off? Yes, Brian McLaughlin

:22:51. > :22:56.has done a cracking job for the last couple of seasons, taking the

:22:56. > :23:01.team into some quarter-finals in Europe. Opposite, he is trying to

:23:01. > :23:06.take them on this year as well. He has got a big pair of boots to fill.

:23:06. > :23:12.But from what we gather, he has got all the pedigree there. And a spade

:23:12. > :23:15.a spade, and they could be a shake- up. Do you expect him to be a

:23:15. > :23:20.different character from Brian McLaughlin, as the Kiwi? He will

:23:20. > :23:25.tell you how it is exactly and he will not mince his words. He will

:23:25. > :23:27.tell you what he thinks. It might hurt somebody's feelings, but he is

:23:27. > :23:31.here to do his job, at the end of a Dave.

:23:31. > :23:33.Thank you. Rory McIlroy is playing his first

:23:33. > :23:39.competitive round of golf since becoming world number one today at

:23:39. > :23:46.the World Golf Championship Event in Miami in Florida. No fireworks

:23:46. > :23:49.so far. He is going along steadily. He is four shots off the lead.

:23:49. > :23:51.Rory McIlroy isn't the only young sportsman from Holywood making the

:23:51. > :23:54.news this week. Ireland is sending just three athletes to this

:23:54. > :23:58.weekend's World Indoor Athletics Championships in Istanbul. And one

:23:58. > :24:01.of them is Ben Reynolds, from North Down, who runs in the heats of the

:24:01. > :24:09.men's 60 metres on Saturday. The 21-year-old, a full-time athlete

:24:09. > :24:14.based in Bath, has been talking to Austin O'Callaghan.

:24:14. > :24:19.Ben Reynolds, all wearing green in lane four, grew up in Holywood,

:24:19. > :24:24.County Down. He was a year behind Rory McIlroy at school and came to

:24:24. > :24:28.prominence at this year's Irish Indoor Championships. He followed

:24:28. > :24:34.up this victory a week later by running the qualifying time for the

:24:34. > :24:40.world indoors. I've always had that as an aim. I left it until the last

:24:40. > :24:47.week to qualify, which is typical for me. But I tend to do well in

:24:47. > :24:50.those situations. You just can't yourself. -- you just can't

:24:50. > :24:54.yourself. He will be representing Ireland for the first time at a

:24:54. > :24:58.major international event, having previously won for Great Britain.

:24:58. > :25:03.He has his own reasons for making the switch. People will say it is

:25:03. > :25:13.because I did not get picked. For me, it was the support and funding.

:25:13. > :25:18.Great Britain, it is a big pond. And, unless you are gunning for

:25:18. > :25:23.medals, you are not going to get great support. Whereas Ireland take

:25:23. > :25:33.better care of the talent they had. The other Irish athletes in Turkey

:25:33. > :25:35.

:25:35. > :25:39.this weekend are the former indoor Championship hurdler. Ben Reynolds

:25:39. > :25:45.believes that if his current rate of improvement continues, he could

:25:45. > :25:55.be their team-mate in London. It's the oldest silverware in local

:25:55. > :26:05.

:26:05. > :26:09.Now, the weather. Temperatures have been recovering today. Temperatures

:26:09. > :26:13.will be higher still. Compared to yesterday, many of us were

:26:13. > :26:21.struggling to reach eight. Unfortunately, what we didn't get a

:26:21. > :26:26.day was the sunshine we had between yesterday balls showers. That cloud

:26:26. > :26:30.rolling through the Atlantic. It could be disappointing if you are

:26:30. > :26:38.stuck -- wanting to spot the Arab borealis. Having said that, some

:26:38. > :26:43.clear spells. The breeze will fill in the cloud and it will be pretty

:26:43. > :26:47.overcast and misty with hill fog, with dampness in the air. Pockets

:26:47. > :26:54.of drizzle running through in the breeze, particularly in the North

:26:54. > :26:59.and West. It is mild, temperatures 8 or 9. The mild weather continues

:26:59. > :27:05.tomorrow and it is a rather cloudy and breezy day. For southern areas,

:27:05. > :27:10.a mainly dry day, getting rid of barely patches of resolve. Towards

:27:10. > :27:19.the North and North West, it is staying pretty damp. It could turn

:27:19. > :27:29.a little wetter still a cross from a man to Rome. -- Fermanagh and

:27:29. > :27:31.

:27:31. > :27:37.Tyrone. It will be dry in the East. Another hot day. Through tomorrow

:27:37. > :27:43.night, that Banda rain edges South, and fizzles out. It is another mild
