Good evening. This is BBC Newsline. The headlines: Stormont is to be | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
the field for a Orange parade to make the centenary -- mark the | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
centenary of the Ulster Covenant. A bypass divides opinion in a | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
County Antrim village. If the road scheme goes ahead, the farmers will | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
suffer. We are on board the ship following | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
in the wake of the Titanic to the North Atlantic. | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
The eight-year-old Irish dancer who has become an internet sensation. | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
I will be talking to the local fisherman who has landed the big | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
catch of the day. And I mean big. And keep the umbrella as and winter | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
coats handy as we are in for quite a chilly week. | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
For the first time, the grounds of Stormont will be hosting an Orange | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
Order event. The gathering will mark the centenary of the Ulster | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
Covenant. Permission was given by the Finance Minister whose | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
department oversees the use of the estate. Lodges operate from the | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
city centre to Stormont in September. -- lodges will travel. | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
It is a familiar sight every 12th July. Now the traditional field | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
gathering at the end of an Orange parade will be here in the grounds | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
of Stormont. It is up to mark the centenary associated with the | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
Unionist leader whose statue dominates at the approach to | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
parliament buildings. In 1912, he and 23,000 other men signed to be | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
Ulster Covenant at Belfast City Hall, a posing home rule in Ireland. | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
The statue is there and that is symbolic. It is symbolic to | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
identify with that. I would not put too much weight on any symbolism. | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
The venue was most important to be able to host of the crowds that we | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
imagine will be there. The Orange Order anticipates thousands of | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
people participating in what will begin as a parade from the centre | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
of Belfast and will finish in Stormont. The event will take place | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
on Saturday 29th September after approval was granted by Sammy | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Wilson. In a statement, his department said that the approval | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
was subject to the final arrangements being agreed. What is | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
controversial in it? If people do not want to be associated with it, | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
let them have their say and not be associated with it. But to go down | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
the extremes to disrupt it, do make any political capital out of it, I | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
do not think anybody wants that. Certainly the Orange institutions | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
intentions are to be honourable. We would like the community to be | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
involved. Most of what takes place in these grounds in September will | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
involve the speeches and the plan is to build a platform near the | :03:23. | :03:30. | |
statue. Farmers and business people in | :03:30. | :03:40. | |
:03:40. | :03:41. | ||
County Antrim say the road services wasting taxpayers' money. Danny | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
Kennedy has yet to make a final decision on the A8 road between | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
Belfast and Larne which includes a plan to bypass Qatar. A group from | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
the village say that it is a waste are to spend the �40 million going | :03:56. | :04:03. | |
around the village when the current road could be a upgraded instead. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
At the moment, this farmer can move his cattle freely around his land. | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
If the new proposed Ballynure bypass goes ahead, things will be | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
very different. My holding would be severed in two. Presently, I can | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
move animals freely from one field to another without any help or much | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
time involved. If the road scheme goes ahead, the farm is severed | :04:30. | :04:38. | |
into along with many other farms. The plan is to do all some of the | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
A8 road between Belfast and Larne at a cost of �120 million. An | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
estimated �40 million is also to be spent by passing Ballynure, | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
something critics say it is not needed and is a waste of public | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
money. I have not spoken to one person who has complained that the | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
traffic on this road is any more than would be acceptable. In fact, | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
there are many roads that I travel on where there is much more need | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
for improvement. You have only got to look at the intersection that is | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
required at the West Link connection with the current M2 | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
motorway. The Department of regional development argues that | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
the road is needed to open up the corridor between Belfast and Larne | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
port. It predicts traffic will rise. The current figures paint a | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
different picture. In 2007, almost 943,000 passengers including | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
freight sailed from Larne. Last year, that had dropped to normal -- | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
to almost a trend in that 46,000 -- at 846,000. Some in the village say | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
they need to look at the figures again. To much is at stake. | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
Ballynure bypass is going to cost the public �40 million and there is | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
no tangible benefit of bypassing the village. It has a detrimental | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
impact on the environment and will lead to the loss of jobs in the | :06:07. | :06:13. | |
village. A public inquiry into the bypass was held last summer. So far, | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
the only person to have been given the findings is Danny Kennedy. He | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
is expected to make a decision shortly. In the meantime, the | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
people of bull are waiting to see if works scheduled for later this | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
month will go ahead -- the people of Ballynure. | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
So six men arrested fault -- following a republican rally | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
yesterday have been released without charge. It took place in | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the city cemetery in Londonderry. The police are continuing to hold a | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
42-year-old man in connection with the murder of Coleraine pensioner | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
Norman Moffatt in 2001. The attack was captured on CCTV but | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
no one has ever been charged with the killing. | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
Still to come: remembering the residents of the County Mayo | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
village who were lost on the Titanic. | :07:03. | :07:13. | |
:07:13. | :07:14. | ||
And I have been chatting to these before they fight this weekend. | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
100 years ago, the Titanic was on its maiden voyage bound for New | :07:18. | :07:24. | |
York. Today at noon a minute's silence was observed in Southampton | :07:24. | :07:30. | |
marking the time when it left the port. Wreaths were thrown from the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
docks to remember the 1500 people who died including a fiver hundred | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
and 38 crew members, most of whom live in the town -- 538. | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
The ship raising the Titanic's Ridge has had to turn back because | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
of a medical emergency. The Balmoral left Cobh in County Cork | :07:48. | :07:57. | |
last night. The BBC is the only broadcaster on board. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Wind and waves are battering the Balmoral as it makes its weight to | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
the spot where the Titanic sank. If you want to know how rough the seas | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
are, watch the horizon. Some passengers are dressed not for the | :08:12. | :08:18. | |
weather but to mark a moment and remember the past. This outfit | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
belonged to my husband's great- grandmother. This couple have come | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
from County Down to follow Voyage made by others. From a short | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:38. | ||
distance... There was a man who left to go to Queenstown and he | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
joined the Titanic at Queenstown but he did not survive the disaster. | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
Queenstown was lined by thousands yesterday. A warm welcome for the | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
Balmoral's passengers as they follow the route of the Titanic. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Coming here on the boat and looking at all of the people was fantastic. | :09:00. | :09:07. | |
A brass band. You could not ask for anything more. People were keen to | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
share their own stories from the period of history. He put together | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
the pieces. Speaking to people like you to learn... In it is | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
fascinating. People boarded the Balmoral just as they did the | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
Titanic. Make no mistake, this is a very modern ship. For many people, | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
this is a holiday. But this is not typical cruise ship weather. It is | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
likely to get a lot more blustery out in the North Atlantic. That has | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
not stopped people from enjoying themselves, even outdoors. Believe | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
it or not, despite the conditions all around, the plural was meant to | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
be relatively warm. We are Norwegians summit it is OK! -- the | :09:51. | :09:58. | |
poll was meant to be relatively warm. We are Norwegians so it is OK. | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
Some grew emotional as the trip -- ship travelled ever closer to the | :10:03. | :10:10. | |
point in the Atlantic where 1500 drowned at sea. Balmoral is heading | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
back towards deep Irish coast because of what has been described | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
as a medical emergency. A passenger is expected to be airlifted off | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
this ship in a short amount of time. It has been emphasised that it is a | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
precautionary measure. We understand the ship is still | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
expected to end the site of the Titanic's sinking 100 years ago by | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
this weekend to hold the memorial service. Back on dry land, hundreds | :10:38. | :10:45. | |
of people have arrived far a commemorative festival in Ireland's | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
official Titanic village. That is Lahardane where the parish of | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Addergoole lost more people on the liner than any other place in | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Ireland. Re-enact does relive the parts of | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
local residents who left to the village of Lahardane 100 years ago. | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
They are known as the Addergoole 14. 11 women and three men. They were | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
on their way to America on the Titanic. Only three of them got | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
:11:22. | :11:24. | ||
there. It would have been a large number from any one area to leave. | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
The fact that 14 from one village left where there already was a very | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
small community and the fact that only 11 of that 14... Only three | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
survive. That was a massive loss to the village at the times. Hundreds | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
of people including the former president have come to the village | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
for a Titanic festival week. It is a chance for some to re-enact | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
experience of their ancestors. It is a chance too for some | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
transatlantic family reunions. goodness! I saw you when you work a | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
little boy. A long time ago. years. This is the man his family | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
are remembering. I am his niece. He perished on the Titanic. He was the | :12:15. | :12:21. | |
younger brother of my father, Tom. He left here with my mother who | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
came from nearby. I had two older sisters who have now passed away. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
This is the new permanent memorial to the Addergoole 14. Nothing is | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
known about millions of Irish immigrants but those who left this | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
village for the Titanic will not be forgotten. | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
The tragedy that has touched so many. More on the Titanic including | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
a host of BBC archive clips explaining why Belfast was at the | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
hub of shipbuilding at the turn of the 20th century... Check out our | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
special website. We are also on Twitter. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
We will have full coverage of all of the memorial services across the | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
weekend on a our outlets. Narrow Water Castle is to feature | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
on a new set of Royal Mail stance. The Elizabethan tower house was | :13:22. | :13:29. | |
built as a military lookout in the 15th 60s. It is one of a number of | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
significant buildings chosen for the new stamp collection -- in the | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
15th 60s. If you have ever heard an angler | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
saying that he caught a fish this big, chances are he is exaggerating. | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
That is not the case when it comes to Andy Logan was dubbed a giant of | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
a fish! -- that is not the case when it comes to Andy Logan! A | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
giant of a fish. This fish was caught but just off | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
Rathlin Island Vostok to give you an idea of how big it is. I am five | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
at nine inches in height. This is the fish in question. It is a state | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
and measures eight ft high by 6 ft wide. -- it is a state. It took | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
three men to lift it onto the boat. The man who caught it is local | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
fishermen here in Carrickfergus, Andy Logan. Described the moment | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
when you felt the noble? A it was unbelievable. I have caught plenty | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
before but this time I thought I had caught a submarine. A monster. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
How long did it take you to real it in? I an hour and 10 minutes with | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
health. When it came on board, what was your reaction? I could not | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
believe it. I still cannot get over the size of it. I am glad I have | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
got photographs. A monster. have you ever caught anything like | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
that before? I thought I had but now my eyes have been opened. | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
released it back into the sea? definitely. That fish is 65 years | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
old so there are another few years in him yet. You are king of the | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
fish and then in these parts yet? So they say! And you have caught | :15:12. | :15:18. | |
sharks before? I have caught the sharks are easier. I would like to | :15:18. | :15:25. | |
see any other guys beat this record. It is something you won't forget. | :15:25. | :15:31. | |
Definitely. Never forget it. Congratulations. Happy sailing. We | :15:31. | :15:41. | |
:15:41. | :15:42. | ||
might go for fish and chips after At 16 stone, that record-breaking | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
fish is the same weight as Belfast boxer Martin Rogan and he squared | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
up to his opponent Tyson Fury today in Belfast ahead of their Irish | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
heavyweight title showdown on Saturday night at the Odyssey Arena. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
Here is the deal. They do not like one another and today it was | :16:05. | :16:14. | |
abundantly evident. He kept saying to me, treen well a! Drain well! I | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
hope you trained well! Because I certainly have. He has not got a | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
prayer. I will hit him with that many left jabs he will be begging | :16:24. | :16:33. | |
for me to knock him out. Rogan said that Fury was out of shape. That | :16:33. | :16:42. | |
prompted an impromptu strep. only six lackey has is still in the | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
fridge! Suddenly, this room was creaking under the dust off 100 | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
years of history and it was alive with a new kind of 20 first-century | :16:53. | :17:00. | |
electricity. Do you see this as a last chance saloon? Know. There are | :17:00. | :17:07. | |
no miles on my tank. It is a great opportunity to fight. There are not | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
too many people out there who get the opportunity to do it at my age. | :17:11. | :17:20. | |
He will go toe to toe on Saturday. It is never dull with that Martin | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
Rogan. Elsewhere, the Ulster Rugby prop John Afoa has been cited for a | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
dangerous tackle during last Sunday's Heineken Cup quarter-final | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
win over Munster. He will find out on Thursday if he will be available | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
for the semi-final. In a moment, we will hear from the man who scored | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
that magical try a. They have confirmed that there will not be | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
the same pressure on tickets for the Edinburgh show down in Dublin. | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
We had a limited allocation, which was 6,400, as the home team. At the | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
Aviva Stadium, we have been given a bigger allocation. We have taken | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
20,000 tickets which are ring- fenced for our season-ticket | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
holders. We have put a large number of tickets on general sale this | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
morning. It will not affect our season-ticket holders. We're hoping | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
that the majority of the stadium will be filled with Ulster fans. | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
have had a few days to reflect and this was a great day. I will keep | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
the memory for a long time. As will the rest of the team. You have to | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
look on from that to the semi- finals and hopefully the finals. | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
were two matters in football's Carling Premiership this afternoon. | :18:35. | :18:45. | |
:18:45. | :18:46. | ||
Ballymena Utd 14-2 at Dungannon Swifts. After a goal drought in the | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
first have, two minutes into the second, Gary Hamilton open the | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
floodgates in a phenomenal relegation battle at Seaview. With | :18:55. | :19:04. | |
two further goals in a seven-minute spell, they were Two-nil up. | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Despite an earlier penalty miss from Shane Dolan, with 11 minutes | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
remaining, Anto Lagan make no mistake with his. Four minutes | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
later, Brian McCaul grabbed the fourth of the day. Then, with just | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
five minutes of normal time remaining, Marcus Kane gave Carrick | :19:22. | :19:28. | |
Rangers some hope. Thomas Hyland fired in the third of the day for | :19:28. | :19:33. | |
Carrick Rangers. In the third minute of additional time, Paul | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
Heatley scored the all-important equaliser to ensure that the amber | :19:37. | :19:44. | |
army for live to fight another day in the relegation battle. | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
Goals galore or at Seaview. Elsewhere, Irish hobbies bid to | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
qualify for the Olympics may have ended in tears recently, but a team | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
from Northern Ireland is celebrating by European victory. | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
Pegasus Ladies won in Belfast. This is the fourth time the Pegasus | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
Ladies have won the Eurohockey tournament, but it is the first | :20:06. | :20:13. | |
time they have won it as hosts. They won four gains in four days | :20:13. | :20:19. | |
against international opposition, culminating in a 4-3 victory over | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
by Ukrainian team. Here you are playing on your home turf and in | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
front of your home crowd. They have been fantastic. The organisation in | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
this club, an amateur club, has been top drawer. It is the third | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
piece of silverware for the team this season and they are still in | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
contention to win two more trophies in the coming weeks. | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
That is it from sport for now. Four more matches tonight, including | :20:49. | :20:59. | |
:20:59. | :21:00. | ||
Linfield against Cliftonville. Now, last week we had thousands of | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
international visitors in Belfast for the World Irish Dancing | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
Championships. Today, a local Dancer is a global sensation on the | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
internet and has been watched by tens of thousands of people. Eight | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
year-old Kate McCafferty was Ireland in a shopping centre in | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Derry, dancing a way through a string of Michael Jackson hits. | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
Within one day, a tribute to the King of Pop had gone barrel. This | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
young girl is a rising star on the internet. Tens of thousands of | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
people have already tuned in it to see her dance her way through | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
Michael Jackson hits. It is fun and exciting. I have heard of people | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
watching me in Germany, America... Some people are watching me in | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
China. It is so exciting. In the three days, there have been well | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
over 100,000 hits and counting on YouTube and this is what people | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
:22:09. | :22:11. | ||
have been clamouring to see. Take it away Kate. She was full and last | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
week as part of a pineapple Dance Studio Showcase, after been chosen | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
to take part in workshops and it would seem that dancing is in the | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
blood. She is a brilliant dancer. When I saw her doing a Michael | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
Jackson steps it was brilliant to watch. I am so proud and shocked | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
and overwhelmed. I cannot believe it. We did not think that much of a | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
bit, it was just a little demonstration. It has just exploded. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Kate now wants to follow in the footsteps of her idol, Michael | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
Jackson, with a career in music and she has a message for all of her | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
fans on the World Wide Web. Thank you for coming. They have just came | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
to watch me dance. It is very kind of them. Now, this high-kicking | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
eight year-old has had her first taste of fame, she is hoping to | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
dance away straight to the top. She is at ground we dancer. At 6pm | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
this evening, she had just over 180,000 hits on the internet. She | :23:20. | :23:30. | |

Well, we had some really interesting showers today and it | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
all kicked off earlier around lunchtime onwards relief. Hale, | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
thunder and there was even some snow on some of the mountains of | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
County Fermanagh and in County Down over the Mournes. I will show you | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
the radar. That indicates the heavy showers. And there was some thunder | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
around Craigavon and Banbridge. Are they are easing off now and as the | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
temperatures continue to fall this evening, they will gradually ease | :24:03. | :24:11. | |
in intensity and frequency. This is this morning, that is no. The big | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
shower in the background. It shows you how chilly the air is. It is no | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
great surprise, though showers eased back and temperatures will | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
drop away. Frost is likely in some rural areas. It will be a chilly | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
start tomorrow, cooler and showery. There will be some sunshine, but | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
also some pretty spectacular clouds. These pictures were sent in today | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
from Warrenpoint. Some sunshine tomorrow morning, particularly in | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
the east, and showers may take a while to get going and they may not | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
be as vicious as they were today. There will be some heavy ones | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
around, particularly from lunchtime onwards into the afternoon and hail | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
and thunder is a possibility tomorrow as well, but perhaps not | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
as much as today. Temperatures around 10 or 11 degrees, close to | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
the average for this time of year. That is when the sun is shining, so | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
if you are in a shower, the temperature can drop as low as five | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
degrees. Tomorrow night, but clearing skies, there is likely to | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
be a touch of frost in some areas again. We still have quite a chilly | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
wind on Thursday and there will still be some showers around. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Temperatures will fall at it, but they will be less frequent and | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
mostly light and that is the theme as we head towards the weekend. | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
Although it is cool, with winds in the north, there is a lot of dry | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
weather and there will be some decent sunny gaps. A warning to | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
gardeners, that it will be cold enough for some frost at night time. | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Definitely a day for the umbrella as tomorrow, some heavy showers, | :25:55. | :26:00. | |
but sunglasses for the end of the week. | :26:00. | :26:07. | |
I had a vision on Easter Monday of going for a picnic. We ended up | :26:07. | :26:17. | |
:26:17. | :26:19. | ||
eating the sandwiches and having tea in the car as it lashed down. | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
Before we go, a reminder of the stories making the headlines. | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
The grounds of the Stormont estate are to be the field for a big | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
Orange Order commemoration of the signing of the Ulster Covenant, 100 | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
years ago this September. For almost and business people in | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
County Antrim are claiming that a planned bypass in the village of | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
Ballynure will waste millions of pounds and destroy the countryside. | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
The ship retracing the route of the Titanic has had to turn back | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
because of an and -- a medical emergency. If the European Court | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
has given the go-ahead for the extradition of five terror suspects | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
from Britain to the United States, despite their claims that they will | :26:59. | :27:04. |
