Good evening. This is BBC Newsline with Donna Traynor. The headlines | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
this Tuesday evening: Three members of the Jordanian paralympic team | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
are arrested over allegations of sexual assault. Could Northern | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
Ireland end up with the toughest anti-prostitution laws in the UK. A | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
former world champion says boxing fans guilty of sectarian abuse | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:44. | ||
should be banned from the ringside. It is the people who are following | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
the fighters. They must be earmarked, pointed out and kicked | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
out of the boxing rings in the country. They are the ones bringing | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
the game into disrepute. How many local students could get free | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
university places in Scotland? Trust me, I'm a robot. The new | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
doctor doing the ward rounds in Newry. And it's been an exciting | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
day of weather. Thunderstorms, heavy downpours, lightning and | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
:01:17. | :01:18. | ||
hailstones. I'll be back with the Three members of the Paralympic | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
squad from Jordan having been arrested over allegations of sexual | :01:21. | :01:27. | |
assault. The squad were part of a pre-games training camp at the | :01:27. | :01:37. | |
:01:37. | :01:39. | ||
Antrim Forum. Our reporter Conor Macauley is there. What do we know? | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
Three men were arrested on Monday after three local women made | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
allegations including one of sexual assault. It was something that | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
happened here at the Antrim Forum. The squad and their support staff | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
have been here for a couple of weeks. The three men arrested are | :02:02. | :02:10. | |
aged 36, 35 and 23. They are still in police custody. There was some | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
delay in beginning the process of questioning the men today because | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
the police have to wait for interpreters to join them before | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
they can begin the process. What sort of official reaction has there | :02:23. | :02:33. | |
:02:33. | :02:33. | ||
been to this? The Sports Minister, champion of the Olympic teams who | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
came to use our facilities, we asked if they had anything to say. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
They said because there is alive investigation on going at the | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
moment they could not comment. The Jordanian team had been due to | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
leave Northern Ireland to travel to London for the Paralympic Games | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
quick start next Wednesday, the question now remains is how many of | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
that delegation will make it onto the flight tomorrow? Paying for sex | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
with prostitutes could be outlawed if Stormont passes a new bill, the | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
details of which were published today. The proposals, which are | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
being brought forward by the DUP's Lord Morrow, would give Northern | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Ireland tougher laws than in Britain. As Mervyn Jess reports, | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
the main aim of the proposed law is to tackle people trafficking. It | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
has been referred to as the oldest profession in the world but that | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
nevertheless does not make it any more palatable end they eyes of the | :03:40. | :03:48. | |
public. Today, Lord Morro launched his private member's bill which she | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
says goes further than the current legislation making its way through | :03:53. | :04:03. | |
:04:03. | :04:09. | ||
Stormont. -- Lord Morrow. person who purchases intercourse | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
will be the one who ends up in court. If you buy you are then be | :04:15. | :04:25. | |
:04:25. | :04:27. | ||
offender. Last year alone it was estimated men in Northern Ireland | :04:27. | :04:36. | |
were spending up to half a million pounds on prostitutes every week. | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
Police have been raiding brothels. They dealt with the 33 potential | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
victims of trafficking. 18 of those were females who had been brought | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
here specifically for its sexual exploitation. Two people have been | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
convicted of trafficking with a further two due in court on similar | :05:00. | :05:10. | |
charges. This is the only way to end this crime. It is growing year- | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
on-year across the so-called civilised world. It is there, it is | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
evident, it is very hard to nail the people behind it, the gangs. | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
All of us need to wake up. The then you are using these services need | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
to wake up and see what they are doing. It is not about personal | :05:29. | :05:37. | |
pleasure, it is about engaging in the slave trade. The use can be | :05:37. | :05:47. | |
:05:47. | :05:48. | ||
made known until the middle of the month, October sees anti-slavery | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
day and that is no coincidence. Earlier I spoke asked our Political | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
Editor Mark Devenport and asked him what the chances were of these | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
proposals becoming law? It is uncertain. You have got to remember | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
this is a private member's bill, a lot of these do not become law | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
because they do not have sufficient time to be debated in chamber. It | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
needs all parties to get on side with this proposal to give their | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
backing and get it through with bolts and cost will there be the | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
time to be debated. -- votes. The question will be whether the | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
consensus on the need for human trafficking can be extended among | :06:34. | :06:44. | |
the other parties for the consensus that all prostitution be banned. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
seems that a change in the lock in regards to prostitution to be | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
connected with something had that happened last week Down South? | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
There was a consultation last week by the Southern Irish Government | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
and there was a consultation in Scotland to make paying for | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
intercourse illegal. That did not get through as wanted. It was | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
proposed by Harry it Hammond in 2007 and it did not make it into | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
law but they did push through with the lot to say it is illegal to pay | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
for intercourse with someone who has been trafficked. -- Harriet | :07:28. | :07:36. | |
Harman. I think there was some opposition to it from those who | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
thought the State was over-reaching itself by telling adults what they | :07:41. | :07:49. | |
could or could not do. It was felt this might drive the oldest | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
profession underground and make the situation more vulnerable for the | :07:53. | :08:01. | |
women involved. It might come down to whether the politicians believe | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
that the situation in Sweden has helped curb the problems associated | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
with human trafficking. The Irish boxing authorities have rejected | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
claims that they've failed to deal with sectarian abuse aimed at a | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
boxing club from Sandy Row in Belfast. The club say they've | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
suffered a decade of abuse without any action being taken. Julian | :08:19. | :08:29. | |
:08:29. | :08:31. | ||
O'Neill reports. Best man watches from outside the ring. He once | :08:31. | :08:38. | |
boxed at best club but quit the sport after receiving sectarian | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
abuse at a competition hosted in and nationalist area. I hate it. I | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
felt so scared in some places. Up on the Falls Road you were not made | :08:50. | :09:00. | |
:09:00. | :09:04. | ||
to feel comfortable at all. Witness the symbolism of these champions | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
during the Olympic torch relay but some say sectarianism is hidden | :09:12. | :09:20. | |
away. The club's bus has been stoned and bottles thrown at those | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
attending amateur bouts. Officials from several other boxing clubs in | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
nationalist area is said today they did not perceive any sectarian | :09:33. | :09:39. | |
problem in the sport or at least not one as bad as is pointed out in | :09:39. | :09:48. | |
this 27 page report which includes details of letters of complaints to | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
the sporting body. The Irish Amateur Boxing Association is | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
investigating and rejects the claims that this issue is a low | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
priority. We met with the association in February 2011, | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
nothing has happened in the last 18 months. We saw yesterday in the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
Irish Times it was stated that there is an investigation but I | :10:13. | :10:20. | |
think it must be bottom of the pile of things to do. Before turning pro | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
this man was on the amateur circuit like many of the Olympic medal | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
:10:35. | :10:36. | ||
winners. It taints the whole thing. I would love to see the Amateur | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
Boxing Association clamp down on this big style. The Department of | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
Culture, Ards and leisure is aware of the complaints and say officials | :10:46. | :10:56. | |
:10:56. | :10:57. | ||
are addressing the issue. -- Arts and Leisure. Earlier this year we | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
highlighted a loophole which would allow students with an Irish | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
passport to get free tuition in a Scottish university. It was a | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
tempting option for students in an east Belfast school where most have | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
British passports. The saving could be tens of thousands of pounds. Our | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
education correspondent, Maggie Taggart has returned to speak to | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
some of the students to find out if free tuition is now a reality for | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:26. | ||
them. We first met these students in the spring. Since then they have | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
been studying, doing exams and getting results in the hope of | :11:33. | :11:41. | |
getting three university tuition in Scotland. -- free. This girl now | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
has an offer of free tuition at Edinburgh University. It has been a | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
long process, I am so happy about it. I will save �9,000. She now has | :11:56. | :12:06. | |
:12:06. | :12:08. | ||
a letter assuring her she will not have to pay. Her status is EU so | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
her feet will be �1,820 and we have a letter from Scotland seeing it | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
will be paid on her behalf. -- say. She has nothing to pay this here be | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
wise, we are delighted. This boy has been accepted at Glasgow | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
university but he has not yet had a formal letter. He has had another | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
form to fill in. The form we would have to complete to answer all the | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
questions with regard to our fees that is is very lengthy, about four | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
pages long with 16 pages of accompanying notes which are a | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
minefield to wade through. I am still hopeful that we will be | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
successful. They have saved money for the university course but they | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
-- bet they do not get free fees they will be in disarray. I am | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
fairly confident, I have got on OK at several stages but is there is | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
still that little niggle of uncertainty because we do not have | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
a formal written paper saying that I am in for free. The Scottish | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
Government says it cannot yet tell how many Northern Irish students | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
will get free education but they are looking at ways to block the | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
loophole in the future. You're watching BBC Newsline and still to | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
come on the programme: We're live backstage at Tennents' Vital, | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
hearing from the up and coming Moira band who kicked the whole | :13:46. | :13:56. | |
:13:56. | :13:58. | ||
A family of five laughing at Glenarm in County Antrim say they | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
may have to move after an arson attack on their home. A door was | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
damaged at the property when a tyre filled with flammable liquid was | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
put against it and set on fire. In neighbour raised the alarm after | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
seeing flames. Villagers say they are shocked at the attack. I think | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
it is ridiculous. It is a poor reflection of Glenarm. The family | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
should not be moving from the village, it is the people who | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
perpetrated this crime. A 55-year- old man has been arrested in south | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
Belfast in connection with the a murder on the outskirts of the city | :14:34. | :14:41. | |
36 years ago. William Palmer was 55 and died after he was shot in his | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
home. The man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and membership | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
of the IRA. As we reported yesterday, the | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
police have made a fulsome apology to the mayor of Derry after | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
mistakenly raided his house during an anti-terrorist operation last | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
month. But the Sinn Fein councillor says that words do not go far | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
enough. Kevin Campbell is in our foil. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
You have got an apology, what more do you want? And all but the case | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
is going to the ombudsman and I am prepared to wait for the outcome. - | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
- I am told that the case. Do you not accept that mistakes can | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
happen? Yes, they can. In this instance, the reality is that when | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
the police came to my home, it was at 10:30pm and the officers | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
recognise who I was and were not prepared to enter the home. What | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
happened was that it was a to-ing and fro-ing between Derry and | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
Belfast. Someone at 4:30am decided to go ahead and searched the | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
property. There was no one in the house. This indicates everything I | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
said at the time. Earlier, you said that he wanted the officer who made | :15:57. | :16:03. | |
the author -- who made the order to be sacked. Is that they're? -- is | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
that fair. I am prepared to sit down with them. I know it has been | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
put to the ombudsman's office. Let's wait and see the outcome of | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
this process. At the end of the day, this was wrong and it should never | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
have happened. When I was made the mayor of this city, I said I would | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
work for all the people of the city. This left a cloud hanging over me, | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
within the Unionist and Protestant community. The police have admitted | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
it was a mistake and they have made a fulsome apology. Gregory Campbell | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
the DUP said that it is time now to focus on the weapons that were | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
seized by police earlier in that operation. NEWLINE deflecting away | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
from the battle against dissident republicans. -- You are deflecting. | :16:53. | :17:02. | |
The police are dealing with that issue. The issue would mean, do was | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
a wrong done and the police have admitted. -- the issue with me, | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
there was a wrong done. I'm prepared to see the outcome before | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
I take anything further. There is a new addition to the medical team at | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
Daisy Hill Hospital. He does not wear the usual attire, he does not | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
take temperatures or give injections, but he is still | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
regarded as an important part of the team. | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
It is not a Ballack, it is a doctor. Doctor Who? The man on the screen | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
is Charles McAllister, one of 18 of intensive care specialists based | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
not in Newry but 20 miles away in Craigavon. Can you hear me OK? | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
is Charlie. Do you mind talking to me through the robot? What is the | :18:01. | :18:07. | |
story. Unlike Craigavon Hospital, Daisy Hill does not have an | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
intensive care unit. But now intensive care staff at Craigavon | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
can monitor patients in Newry remotely, thanks to the robot. | :18:18. | :18:27. | |
you comfortable? It has been great so far. The number of patients we | :18:27. | :18:35. | |
have been transferring has reduced and we are able to take patients -- | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
keep patients up-to-date with out there doing. We have a better | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
understanding of the natures of the problems when they do arrive. | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
staff were initially suspicious of a robot on the ward. Having seen it | :18:48. | :18:57. | |
in action, it is a real benefit to the care that patients receive. | :18:57. | :19:03. | |
Sometimes we require the assistance of experts, and to have won at the | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
bedside is a bonus. The trust says that so far the robot has gone down | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
well with patients. It is brilliant. He is easy to get on with and talk | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
to. He is over in Craigavon, and we're here and he can talk to us. | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
These investments will greatly assist us in providing the best | :19:24. | :19:32. | |
possible care. And doing it in an efficient manner as well. It may be | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
the height of technical sophistication, but the result was | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
:19:46. | :19:48. | ||
a downside. Like a Telek, the robot cannot go upstairs. -- Ballack. | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
the left! Joanna Mills has yet to decide if she will switch | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
allegiance from Ireland to Great Britain. After a long process of | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
appeals, she controversially missed out on a place in the Irish 4x4 or | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
-- for by 400 metre relay for the Olympics. She ran faster times than | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
Catriona Cuddihy, who was included in the squad. | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
I was struggling watching the Olympics because I thought that the | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
opportunity would have been unbelievable, but I still enjoyed | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
watching it. It was difficult because it was a home Olympics and | :20:25. | :20:32. | |
it was more in our face. But I learned so much. The highs and lows, | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
but I experienced. Are you still considering competing for Ireland? | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
Are will have to think about it. I will have to sit down and chat | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
about next year, and how everything will fall. I do not want to make | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
any decisions just yet. The way the situation was handled has | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
highlighted a lot of things to me. Ireland have been very good to me. | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
I cannot forget about that. Have you spoken to the girls? I have not | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
heard from that. I heard a lot on Twitter before the race and then | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
after the race there was support for them, which was good to see. I | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
have not seen any of them since. You mention your family, and your | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
fellow athletes. How much support did you receive from people outside | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
of that group? Will loads. I cannot get over it. -- loads. 500 | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
different people following me, at telling me that I was hard done by. | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
I could not get over it. I was surprised that people knew about it. | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
Every comment was red and appreciated. There was a lot of | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
support from down south, which was surprising, because I think a lot | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
of people thought it was political and they do not think it was. At | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
the same time, it meant a lot to me to get support from such a variety | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
of different people. You spoke about making a decision. When do | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
you expect to make that decision and what will you weigh up? I have | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
my last competition this weekend. After that I will sit down and talk | :22:07. | :22:15. | |
about my plans. We will look at how the season is looking. Obviously, | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
international opportunities, or are they fall, there are different | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
regulations that come into it. I do not want to accept and rush into | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
anything because Ireland have been good to me. At the same time, I | :22:28. | :22:34. | |
need to think about where I go from here. | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
Thousands of rock fans are gathering in south Belfast for one | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
of this year's biggest music events, the tennis vital Festival. -- | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
Tennants Vital Festival. We're backstage at Tennants Vital. This | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
is where the bands come to chill out. No sign of the Foo Fighters, | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
they are away on the other side of this backstage area. And there is a | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
special cordoned off tent. Of course, this is their first gig in | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
Northern Ireland. Some of you might remember at the early Nineties Mac | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
when Dave Grohl was here in Belfast with Nirvana. He has not been back | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
since but in two hours he will take to the stage with the Foo Fighters. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
Earlier today, it was a local band based in Craigavon who opened the | :23:30. | :23:40. | |
:23:40. | :24:08. | ||
entire event. They are Trucker Tom from Trucker tableau is with me. | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
How did you get involved? entered a competition about two | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
months ago. We were whittled down to the last 16. We went down and | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
play it, and we got the news about a month ago. It was unbelievable. | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
How did it feel? Unbelievable. Being on stage, supporting the Foo | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
Fighters, and remembering learning those songs years ago, it is a | :24:35. | :24:44. | |
dream come true. Fantastic. Stephen Rainey is with us. It is a great | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
news story for that band. What does it mean for other bands up and | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
coming in Northern Ireland? It is a rare opportunity to play in front | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
of a crowd like that. There are a lot of people out there. We have a | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
unique situation where local bands who are used to playing in pubs and | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
bars can get on a stage like that and bring their music to a huge | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
audience. If only a quarter of the people out there by 80 should, that | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
is an incredible success for a local band. -- buy a Taoiseach. | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
Opportunities like this are essential for them. It is great for | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
local bands but tonight is all about the Foo Fighters. I am a huge | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
fan, and I am really excited. I have come prepared. I have got my | :25:30. | :25:40. | |
:25:40. | :25:42. | ||
wellies the and I am ready to rock. Maybe her guests have seen a | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
Maybe her guests have seen a different forecast. | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
We have had a bit of everything today, to be fair. Heavy rain, | :25:48. | :25:56. | |
thunder, sunshine, lightning. What else could we have thrown at us? | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
Very good for those chasing storms. Our Twitter feed was really busier | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
:26:13. | :26:14. | ||
earlier. Thank you for you're pictures and tweets. Only a brief | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
respite from thunder and lightning before the next area of heavy | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
showers moved in. Storms in Belfast. Sharp showers kicking around at the | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
moment, but they are easing away. Many of us of these black clouds | :26:26. | :26:36. | |
:26:36. | :26:39. | ||
looming. -- sort these black clouds. There was flooding briefly. That is | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
how the showers looked up a short time ago. They will be drying up | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
this evening. Most of the shares will become confined to the north | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
and west. They will be back tomorrow but not as ferocious as | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
they were. Because of the breeze, it will grow through swiftly. -- | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
blow through. A few of them will get to eastern areas by lunchtime | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
but in the east, the best of the temperatures because of the | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
westerly breeze. We're looking at 18 or 19 when the sun is out. | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
Further west, the showers will probably be more frequent. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Temperatures will be around 17 or 18. It may feel fresher compared to | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
recent days because of that breeze. The showers continuing to the end | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
of the afternoon. There will be a dry spell for a while tomorrow | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
night. The weather pattern is very unsettled at the moment. The next | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
area of low pressure is moving in from the Atlantic to bring wet and | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
windy weather through Thursday and Friday. Prepare yourself so for | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
more rain for the end of the week. more rain for the end of the week. | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
-- yourselves. Well our late summary is at 10:25pm | :27:52. | :27:57. |
