:00:19. > :00:24.Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Sarah Travers and Noel

:00:24. > :00:29.Thompson The headlines this Thursday evening:

:00:29. > :00:38.The police are to assess the BBC's This World documentary as pressure

:00:38. > :00:45.mounts on Cardinal Brady. We will take an evidence based

:00:45. > :00:48.assessment of the material in the programme.

:00:48. > :00:53.BMI baby is to be grounded from September with some routes stopped

:00:53. > :00:57.from next month. . Health officials say reforming

:00:57. > :01:00.the NHS will involve paying millions of pounds to management

:01:00. > :01:05.consultants. We have the cleanest bathing waters

:01:05. > :01:09.ever, but will it last. Join me live to find out more.

:01:09. > :01:15.Glentoran's financial troubles continue. Now the club's supporters

:01:15. > :01:19.want answers. I'll have the latest. It was warmer than average today

:01:19. > :01:23.because of the sunshine, but it's back to normal tomorrow! Find out

:01:23. > :01:27.why shortly. Good evening. More pressure on Cardinal Sean

:01:27. > :01:30.Brady today with the SDLP leader calling for him to resign as head

:01:30. > :01:37.of the Catholic Church in Ireland. Other senior politicians have also

:01:37. > :01:41.questioned his role. The controversy surrounds claims that

:01:41. > :01:45.in a BBC the cardinal failed to report abuse cases to the

:01:45. > :01:49.authorities or to the parents of the children involved. The police

:01:49. > :01:53.said they would be examining the programme as part of a wider

:01:53. > :01:58.inquiry. Cardinal Brady insists he did everything that was expected

:01:58. > :02:06.him of the time, but he at mitts it was part of a culture of silence.

:02:06. > :02:10.The headlines won make easy reading for Sean for Cardinal Brady, the

:02:10. > :02:14.1975 child abuse inquiry and the BBC documentary have created huge

:02:14. > :02:18.pressure on him to step down. As a cleric, he had been part of a

:02:18. > :02:28.church team that took evidence from a teenager abused by Procurator

:02:28. > :02:29.

:02:29. > :02:33.Fiscal priest Brendan -- -- paedophile paedophile priest,

:02:33. > :02:36.Brendan Smith. The child to gave evidence was

:02:36. > :02:42.sworn to secrecy. Cardinal Brady wrote up a report for his bishop,

:02:42. > :02:45.but it didn't stop Smith who was only arrested 16 years later. At

:02:45. > :02:51.Stormont's justice committee today, there was a call for the Chief

:02:51. > :02:59.Constable to investigate it all. At that stage, the 1967 criminal

:02:59. > :03:09.law, Northern Ireland Act was in force and that Act states a person

:03:09. > :03:10.

:03:10. > :03:17.commits an offence if he holds information that is is likely to

:03:17. > :03:20.secure. The tariff for the sentence for someone who deliberately

:03:21. > :03:26.withholds information as far as child sex abuse is a maximum jail

:03:26. > :03:36.sentence of ten years. Mr Wells was accused of political

:03:36. > :03:39.

:03:39. > :03:41.grand standing. We are not at the stage at having

:03:41. > :03:45.launched an investigation against Cardinal Brady. We wouldn't talk

:03:45. > :03:49.about individual cases. What we are doing is assessing the information

:03:49. > :03:52.that is available to us and we will do the right thing in terms of

:03:52. > :03:56.following through on what the evidence presents to us.

:03:56. > :04:02.Yesterday, the cardinal claimed the documentary had exaggerated his

:04:02. > :04:06.had done what he was asked by his bishop and the responsibility for

:04:06. > :04:12.reporting the abuse was not his, but the boy who gave the cardinal

:04:12. > :04:20.the names almost 40 years agok and ago, said that wasn't sufficient.

:04:20. > :04:30.I was angry because again he is failing to acknowledge his failings

:04:30. > :04:31.

:04:31. > :04:36.of what he should have done and he I don't know why he has taken that

:04:36. > :04:40.job as cardinal. He must have known it would haunt him some day.

:04:40. > :04:45.The Gardai said they have no comment on the programme, but the

:04:45. > :04:52.political establishment in the Republic has more to say. The

:04:52. > :04:59.Deputy Prime Minister told the Dahl the Dail that he thought Cardinal

:04:59. > :05:03.Brady was not fit to hold authority. The SDLP leader Alasdair McDonnell

:05:03. > :05:08.will be live on Hearts and Minds at 7.30pm on BBC Two where he'll be

:05:08. > :05:10.A public sector watchdog has recommended that the planning

:05:11. > :05:13.service should pay �33,000 in compensation to three County Tyrone

:05:13. > :05:16.residents for failing to enforce planning regulations at the

:05:16. > :05:20.Cavenacaw gold mine near Omagh. Campaigners say the ruling could

:05:20. > :05:26.set a precedent allowing others to claim damages. Kevin Magee has this

:05:26. > :05:32.This congestion was a common scene on the small country roads around

:05:32. > :05:36.the Omagh gold mine in 2008. A seemingly endless cavalcade of

:05:36. > :05:41.lorries hauling thousands of tonnes from the rock to the mine to a road

:05:41. > :05:46.building scheme at Ballygawley. Back then a resident expressed her

:05:46. > :05:50.anger. My driveway is now a lay-by for the

:05:50. > :05:56.public and for lorries. I don't care about the roads. The roads are

:05:56. > :06:01.not my main main concern, it is the death of one of my children.

:06:01. > :06:06.convoy of lorries went on for eight months. When the mile started up,

:06:06. > :06:11.residents expected normal traffic levels. The reality was different.

:06:11. > :06:15.Up to 145 truck loads of rock was removed from the mine along these

:06:15. > :06:19.narrow roads on a daily basis. Planners were told, but it took

:06:19. > :06:25.them a year to issue enforcement action and tell the mine operators

:06:25. > :06:30.to stop removing the rock. These residents complained to the om bus

:06:30. > :06:35.to the ombudsman over over the delay and won their case.

:06:35. > :06:39.With had schoolchildren jumping up on to ditches out of the road of

:06:39. > :06:42.the of the trucks and no one seemed to care. The planning service let

:06:42. > :06:46.us down. The ombudsman recommended that the

:06:46. > :06:49.planning should give the three residents who complained �10,000

:06:49. > :06:53.each in compensation. It was never about the money or the

:06:53. > :06:58.compensation. The money will probably go to our legal advisers.

:06:58. > :07:02.It is a victory for people like myself up and down the country who

:07:02. > :07:06.feel they have been let down by the planning service, who feel they

:07:06. > :07:12.have been let down by the, what is their set-up by Government to

:07:12. > :07:17.protect them. But not stopping the unauthorised removal of the rock,

:07:17. > :07:20.the ombudsman said there was maladministration. Environmental

:07:20. > :07:24.campaigners say his findings will encourage others.

:07:24. > :07:28.Today should mark a sea change. It should open the floodgates to give

:07:28. > :07:33.remedies to local people and if the planners don't listen, what today

:07:33. > :07:38.signals is that the ombudsman will. The Chief Executive of the

:07:38. > :07:48.corporation which owns the mine said he he has not seen the report,

:07:48. > :07:50.

:07:50. > :07:55.The planning minister said the fine will be paid in what he said was

:07:55. > :07:58.the highest come compensation payment recommended by the

:07:58. > :08:05.ombudsman. Kevin is with me now with another

:08:05. > :08:10.story. The breaking news on BMI Baby. The airline is ending all

:08:10. > :08:15.flights. What destinations are affect snd. 11 destinations are

:08:15. > :08:19.affected by this. The three regional routes, that's Belfast

:08:19. > :08:26.City to East Midlands and Birmingham and London Stansted will

:08:26. > :08:34.go. The eight European destinations will seize. The holiday routes of

:08:34. > :08:41.Alicante, Malaga, Palm and Ibiza and Minorca will end. The 10th June

:08:41. > :08:47.is the last day that there will be flights from BMI Bayy leaving --

:08:47. > :08:51.baby leaving Belfast City Airport. The BMI flight from Belfast to

:08:51. > :08:58.Heathrow will not be affected. There was Attempts being made to

:08:58. > :09:01.find a buyer for BMI Baby and that hasn't happened and the airline

:09:01. > :09:03.will be grounded from September, but all the impact at the City

:09:03. > :09:08.Airport takes effect after the 10th June.

:09:08. > :09:12.It is worrying news for those who have who have booked. What do they

:09:12. > :09:19.do? The airline said they should do one of two things. Anybody who has

:09:19. > :09:22.booked should get in touch with BMI Baby and they will be offered a

:09:22. > :09:26.refund. Staff will attempt to find alternative travel arrangements for

:09:26. > :09:34.people and help them out by trying to find them routes on other

:09:34. > :09:37.airlines. The brother of the disabled

:09:37. > :09:40.teenager Rebecca McKeown, who was once arrested on suspicion of

:09:40. > :09:43.murdering her, has been testifying at the trial of his grandparents.

:09:43. > :09:46.David and Sarah Johnston are accused of Rebecca's manslaughter

:09:46. > :09:49.11 years ago. Belfast Crown Court heard that Stewart McKeown has a

:09:49. > :09:53.number of criminal convictions. Chris Page was in the court. David

:09:53. > :09:57.and Sarah Johnson are on trial for manslaughter and child cruelty. The

:09:57. > :10:01.prosecution claim that one or both of them sexually assaulted their

:10:01. > :10:05.granddaughter and that the attack led to Rebecca's death from

:10:05. > :10:11.pneumonia in March 2001. There was another suspect,

:10:11. > :10:17.Rebecca's brother, who was in the witness box today, he was 16 at the

:10:17. > :10:22.time his 14-year-old sister died. The family lived in this street.

:10:22. > :10:27.Stewart MacKeown told the court that on the day Rebecca was

:10:27. > :10:31.allegedly sexually assaulted, he was only alone with her in the

:10:31. > :10:35.house for a minute or two. He said the only physical contact he had

:10:35. > :10:40.with her was to brush away hair from her eye. The court heard that

:10:40. > :10:44.Stewart MacKeown had been convicted of a number of crimes. In 2002 he

:10:44. > :10:47.broke into an elderly woman's bedroom through a window. He

:10:47. > :10:51.admitted he subjected the woman to a terrifying experience, but he

:10:51. > :10:56.said, he couldn't remember the incident because he was on drink

:10:56. > :11:01.and drugs. A defence lawyer questioned Mr MacKeown about his

:11:01. > :11:11.arrest four years ago. Mr MacKeown's fingerprints were found

:11:11. > :11:25.

:11:25. > :11:30.on Rebecca's nappy. The lawyer David and Sarah Johnson in their

:11:30. > :11:40.late 80s, deny the charges. Their trial will resume on Tuesday when

:11:40. > :11:41.

:11:41. > :11:44.Stewart Mc Keown is expected to Still to come on the programme:

:11:44. > :11:47.Why the regeneration of this part of Belfast will take longer than

:11:47. > :11:50.expected. We will hear what Glentoran

:11:50. > :11:57.supporters make of the football club's latest financial

:11:57. > :12:01.difficulties. Some good news if you're planning

:12:01. > :12:08.to holiday at home this year. Our bathing waters are better quality

:12:08. > :12:11.than ever. We are now on a par with the rest of the UK when it comes to

:12:11. > :12:14.good beaches, but will it last? Our environment correspondent, Mike

:12:15. > :12:22.McKimm is on Ballywalter Beach on the County Down coast. Mike, its

:12:22. > :12:26.had the stamp of approval. Indeed. shining, but a sea fog has rolled

:12:26. > :12:29.in, but it doesn't take away from this beach because it is one of the

:12:29. > :12:33.16 recommended across Northern Ireland. Now this is not about a

:12:33. > :12:37.Blue Flag beach. It is not about the beach itself. It is about the

:12:37. > :12:41.water, the quality of the bathing water. That's a decision taken by

:12:41. > :12:46.the Marine Conservation Society. They have been strict, but Northern

:12:46. > :12:49.Ireland has done well. All the beaches along the north coast have

:12:49. > :12:54.been recommended for their bathing quality. That means that pollution,

:12:54. > :12:58.sewage, was low or non-existent. Most of the beaches are regular

:12:58. > :13:03.winners which suggested there are no problems in the area. But it is

:13:03. > :13:06.a different story along the East Coast of Antrim and Down. This

:13:06. > :13:11.beach was recommended last year, but this year, it only scraped

:13:11. > :13:16.through because it met the basic standards. But just a few miles up

:13:16. > :13:20.the coast, the beach at Waterfoot tells the opposite story. It

:13:20. > :13:23.scraped a guideline pass last year, but this year it comes highly

:13:23. > :13:26.recommended. All of that suggests that quite a

:13:26. > :13:32.few of our beaches are still prone to pollution especially after

:13:32. > :13:39.storms and heavy rain. This overwhelms some of our sewage

:13:39. > :13:45.systems and flushes untreated material on to our beaches. You can

:13:45. > :13:48.find a full list of the recommended beaches on the BBC News website.

:13:48. > :13:53.Every beach in Northern Ireland met the basic criteria and passed this

:13:53. > :13:58.year. There were no failures. But with standards about to get tougher,

:13:58. > :14:03.it may not be such a good news story in the next few years.

:14:03. > :14:06.Mike, clearly tougher regulations will make it harder to win a

:14:06. > :14:10.recommendation? Well, it will. That's why we have got to be

:14:11. > :14:13.careful about what we do in the future. We have got to patrol and

:14:13. > :14:18.police the amount of sewage more tightly and the Environment

:14:18. > :14:23.Minister has set-up special quality beach summits to make sure that the

:14:23. > :14:26.various people like the Water Service and Northern Ireland Water

:14:26. > :14:29.and the councils are getting involved in trying to make things

:14:29. > :14:33.better and that's going to be important because if we don't, by

:14:33. > :14:36.2015 we maybe forced to put signs up saying, "This beach is not

:14:36. > :14:43.suitable for bathing." That's not good for tourism. What about now?

:14:43. > :14:53.Well, it is a lovely evening here. It is warm. The beach is empty and

:14:53. > :14:58.

:14:58. > :15:03.think I might go in for a paddle! Mike, thank you very much indeed.

:15:03. > :15:05.A major plan to reform the Health Service here is going to involve

:15:05. > :15:10.paying millions of pounds to management consultants. Health

:15:10. > :15:14.Service leaders say the spending is Plan. But the unions have described

:15:14. > :15:17.the move as scandalous and have an ulterior motive. Marie-Louise

:15:17. > :15:24.Connolly has the story. It delivers healthcare to almost 1.8 million

:15:24. > :15:29.people, employs 70,000 staff and spends over 40% of the budget. It

:15:29. > :15:33.is a mammoth organisation, undergoing huge change led by this

:15:33. > :15:38.man, John Compton. What is your direction? What is your strategy?

:15:38. > :15:43.There has been much hype about what he can deliver. Six months into the

:15:43. > :15:48.review, management consultants Ernst & Young are being employed to

:15:48. > :15:51.draw up population plans outlining who needs what and where. It will

:15:51. > :15:56.cost millions. Remember back to the transforming

:15:56. > :16:01.your care, the minister said tell me what you are doing in every

:16:01. > :16:06.hospital. I took the view that it would be better to have that debate

:16:06. > :16:09.locally with the local population. When health trusts are asked to

:16:09. > :16:12.save millions, it is hardly surprising the health unions give

:16:12. > :16:16.this reaction. What is the function then of the

:16:16. > :16:20.Department of Health? The health and social care board and the

:16:20. > :16:28.public health agency? We have to bring these external accountancy

:16:28. > :16:33.firms in in order to draw up plans? What's the ulterior motive? The 99

:16:33. > :16:37.recommendations are spread across all agencies, the minister insists

:16:37. > :16:42.he is responsible. Well, the buck stops with me. I

:16:42. > :16:48.commissioned this. I asked John Compton to lead the team.

:16:48. > :16:53.Transforming your care is something that I commissioned and it will be

:16:53. > :16:57.up to myself and the department, the HSE, and the Trusts and the

:16:57. > :17:04.comirging bodies -- -- commissioning bodies to implement.

:17:05. > :17:09.It is right that the minister said it is his responsibility. For

:17:09. > :17:13.example, who is going to determine how many acute hospitals we need in

:17:13. > :17:21.this country? But that could be determined by what the accountants

:17:21. > :17:29.produce. They could say that the population doesn't justification

:17:29. > :17:36.A&E units at the Causeway and Daisy Hill Hospitals.

:17:36. > :17:40.The use of external consultants is to provide cover for changes that

:17:40. > :17:42.the system wanted to make. I am not sure what the outcome will be, but

:17:42. > :17:45.we thought this work would have been done before.

:17:45. > :17:49.It is not unusual for large organisations such as the Health

:17:49. > :17:54.Service to employ management consultants to help deliver radical

:17:54. > :17:59.plans. But the scale of this financial outlay compared to to

:17:59. > :18:03.complaints from hfs staff about -- NHS staff about resources they have

:18:03. > :18:09.to work in is likely to provoke debate about whether or not

:18:09. > :18:12.contracts like this are value for A �21 million construction contract

:18:12. > :18:16.aimed at regenerating parts of East Belfast has been terminated meaning

:18:16. > :18:20.a big delay in getting the work done. The contract funded by

:18:20. > :18:24.Department for Social Development and the Big Lottery Fund was to

:18:24. > :18:31.build a community greenway and alleviate flooding. So what's

:18:31. > :18:39.happened? Here's Stephen Walker. This project would revitalise

:18:39. > :18:44.rivers like this in East Belfast, create new walkways and cycle paths

:18:44. > :18:49.and alleviate flooding. Construction work stopped last year

:18:49. > :18:52.when the contractors in Belfast City Council became embroiled in a

:18:52. > :18:56.dispute over how the work was delivered. The council has written

:18:56. > :19:01.to the two contractors and ended the agreement.

:19:01. > :19:05.There has been too much delay in this process to date. There have

:19:05. > :19:08.been numerous reasons for that, I want to see the process kick start

:19:08. > :19:12.now. The scheme is still going ahead,

:19:12. > :19:18.but it is now a year behind schedule. It is always unfortunate

:19:18. > :19:25.if a contract has to be terminateks but sometimes that's -- terminated

:19:25. > :19:28.but sometimes that's the best place who can deliver the rest of

:19:28. > :19:31.the scheme. . Today, there was another twist.

:19:31. > :19:34.After the two contractors were informed by the council that the

:19:34. > :19:36.contract was being ended, they contacted the council and asked for

:19:37. > :19:42.a mutual termination. Talks are now underway.

:19:42. > :19:46.The council will have to find new contractors despite all the the

:19:46. > :19:55.difficulties they remain optimistic that the greenway will be built by

:19:55. > :19:58.Last night, we revealed that Glentoran players and staff haven't

:19:58. > :20:04.bee paid their wages for April. Tonight, the club is holding its

:20:04. > :20:09.AGM in east Belfast. Austin O'Callaghan is there. Do we know if

:20:09. > :20:19.anyone has been paid yet? They, haven't, Noel. This is starting to

:20:19. > :20:24.

:20:24. > :20:29.affect a wider range of players, the club's secretary and Glentoran

:20:29. > :20:32.might be in a position to pay some of those people tomorrow. The

:20:32. > :20:37.ongoing financial problems have dogged this football club. Fans

:20:37. > :20:43.attending the AGM in half an hour's time in the hotel behind me will be

:20:43. > :20:49.looking for answers. Michael Magee, what questions will you be asking?

:20:49. > :20:54.We really need to know why. Every few months we are going from one

:20:54. > :20:59.crisis to another. No money to pay or Joe. People need to know, are

:20:59. > :21:04.they going to get their wages? If not, the players can walk. The last

:21:04. > :21:08.five months we have been fined from the IFA by not paying our players

:21:08. > :21:11.on time. You received two substantial cash

:21:11. > :21:17.injections in the last 18 months, why isn't there money to pay the

:21:17. > :21:21.wages? People would like to know. We got �480,000 from a benefactor

:21:21. > :21:26.and another �500,000 in February. Where has it gone? People would

:21:26. > :21:32.like to know the answers. Do you worry for the club? I do. I

:21:32. > :21:35.am a long life supporter, all my my life and I would hate to see them

:21:35. > :21:38.go to the wall. What message do you have for the

:21:38. > :21:43.officials? Get your act together, please and soon.

:21:43. > :21:47.Michael, thank you. We hope you get your questions answered in

:21:47. > :21:54.Tonight's meeting. We will stay for the rest of the sport.

:21:54. > :21:58.Last month we brought you the story of how the men's hockey team

:21:58. > :22:02.narrowly missed out on qualification. The Great Britain

:22:02. > :22:12.team will be competing and there are two Ulster men who hope to be

:22:12. > :22:21.

:22:21. > :22:24.part of that squad. The gold medal ceremony. Two Ulster

:22:24. > :22:29.men were part of the Great Britain team, Stephen Martin won gold as

:22:29. > :22:39.well as a bronze four years earlier in Los Angeles. Leaning forward to

:22:39. > :22:42.

:22:42. > :22:52.receive his medal, Jimmy Kirkwood. Martin has put his medals on

:22:52. > :22:57.

:22:57. > :23:01.display in Jordan stown. It is great to see some Ulster

:23:01. > :23:06.players again. It is disappointing the Irish team didn't qualify. We

:23:06. > :23:10.could have had 14 or 15 Ulster players playing for different teams.

:23:10. > :23:16.Hopefully Ian and Mark will make it for the Games.

:23:16. > :23:21.I know the two guys have worked hard. Ian is playing well. You know,

:23:21. > :23:27.it would be a big surprise if he doesn't make it. Mark has been

:23:27. > :23:34.plagued by injuries. He has done tremendously well to get in there

:23:34. > :23:38.as a contender. I wish him all the best and we wish them both the best.

:23:38. > :23:44.Mark was not picked for the test event, but Ian played a full part

:23:44. > :23:50.in last night's opening match against Germany. A match GB lost in

:23:50. > :23:54.bizarre fashion. Their players were coming back on to the field of play

:23:54. > :23:59.as the second half began. Germany scored from the restart and went on

:23:59. > :24:06.to win 3-1. Let's hope timing is better when the main event starts

:24:06. > :24:10.in July. The Ireland rugby international

:24:10. > :24:17.David Wallace will retire from the game at the end of this season. The

:24:17. > :24:23.illustrious career because of an him to miss last year's World Cup

:24:23. > :24:26.in New Zealand. He won 72 Irish caps. Today Ulster coach Brian

:24:26. > :24:32.McLaughlin, who worked with Wallace at both under-20 and senior level

:24:32. > :24:41.for Ireland paid this tribute. is a fantastic rugby player. A

:24:41. > :24:46.natural seven. He became a true legend. He was a brilliant player,

:24:46. > :24:49.but most importantly, he is a lovely, lovely guy.

:24:49. > :24:53.He's currently Gaelic football's longest serving senior intercounty

:24:53. > :24:58.manager. Now Tyrone have confirmed that Mickey Harte will remain

:24:58. > :25:08.charge of the team for three more years up to 2015. Harte's led

:25:08. > :25:15.Tyrone to three All-Ireland titles during his nine years in charge.

:25:15. > :25:21.Armagh in the Ulster Championship. That's it from East Belfast where

:25:21. > :25:26.the Glentoran AGM starts shortly. The fans want answers, whether they

:25:26. > :25:31.will get them, who knows? will get them, who knows?

:25:31. > :25:35.Now the weather. Today, the sunshine was out in

:25:35. > :25:38.force as you saw there in East Belfast and for parts of the West

:25:38. > :25:42.and Tyrone and Fermanagh, temperatures of 18 Celsius. Well

:25:42. > :25:48.Well above average for the time of year.

:25:48. > :25:52.Tonight, this evening, we have some more sunshine to come. As we go

:25:52. > :25:57.tonight, you will notice it clouding over because we have a

:25:57. > :26:01.cold front. It will signal a change. It will drive away the milder air.

:26:01. > :26:05.Behind that, we drag in the cold air and the cooler winds from the

:26:05. > :26:10.north. Tomorrow, you will notice a big difference in temperatures in

:26:10. > :26:14.some places. It is a cooler day and it won't be as bright or sunny

:26:14. > :26:17.unfortunately. There will be light rain for many of us. It will be a

:26:17. > :26:22.grey start and cloudy and it will be noticeably cooler. Temperatures

:26:22. > :26:27.anywhere between around about 10 Celsius to 13 Celsius. 18 Celsius

:26:27. > :26:33.in Fermanagh today. Further West, further east rather in Belfast,

:26:33. > :26:37.perhaps 13 Celsius. Now although it will get off to a grey and damp

:26:37. > :26:42.start, the good news is that sinks southwards bringing in brighter

:26:42. > :26:46.spells and sunshine for the evening. But it is going to bring with it a

:26:46. > :26:49.cooler night with temperatures between 3 and 5 Celsius. We may see

:26:49. > :26:54.a touch of grass frost forming. A chilly start to the weekend, but

:26:54. > :26:58.the good news is Saturday will be a descent day. It will feel colder,

:26:58. > :27:03.especially along the north coast, but further south, temperatures

:27:03. > :27:06.will manage to get up into the double figures and there will be

:27:06. > :27:10.some good spells of sunshine. It won't be until the secretary part

:27:10. > :27:15.of the -- second part of the weekend that we have a cloudier

:27:15. > :27:19.picture for Sunday. For Bank Holiday Monday, we hold on to the

:27:19. > :27:28.cooler temperatures. The important thing for the marathon runners on

:27:28. > :27:37.Monday, it will be a cool day. The winds will be light.
