Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
A major public health crisis as the numbers hit by the e-coli rises to | :00:24. | :00:33. | |
more than 150. We are deeply sorry but truly we | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
have done nothing knowingly that could have caused this and we hope | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
we can find the source. How the price of what's our on | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
plates is set to soar next year. The latest in our hate crime series, | :00:43. | :00:51. | |
we hear from the people the law doesn't protect. | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
If no one from our community comes forward and is willing to be | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
visible, then we will always remain invisible. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
We'll be asking the health minister why no-one's been held to account | :01:02. | :01:08. | |
over huge failures at the top of the Fire Service. | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
And Ronaldo reaches 100 caps. Can ignore the island spoil his World | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Cup party in Portugal? And we swap the sunshine for rain | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
which will sweep in it later tonight. | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Health officials describe it as the largest food-borne outbreak of e- | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
coli ever in Northern Ireland. There have been 20 confirmed cases | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
and other 150 probable cases of food poisoning linked to Flicks | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
restaurant at Cityside Mall in north Belfast, which is now at the | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
centre of a major public health incident. Mervyn Jess has the | :01:44. | :01:50. | |
latest. This is what e-coli looks like | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
under the microscope. It's very infectious and can also | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
be very dangerous for those who contract it. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
The latest outbreak occurred here at Flicks restaurant at the City | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
Side shopping centre at Yorkgate. Management at the food outlet | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
closed the place down voluntarily when they were made aware there was | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
a problem. The premises are now at the centre of the e-coli | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
investigation involving city council environmental health | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
:02:22. | :02:23. | ||
officers and the Public Health Agency. Suspected cases have risen | :02:23. | :02:32. | |
by more than 30, up to 150 cases. We now have eight children aged | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
under 14 and the remainder of the probable cases are adults. So a | :02:42. | :02:49. | |
spread of ages as you would expect. Six of the people were in hospital | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
and most have now been discharged. We have a major public health | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
incident and we are responding appropriately to that. A customer | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
who fell ill after the initial cases of e-coli back in August | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
explained how he was affected. measures I took was to use a | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
different toilet in the house and use different towels and alcohol | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
gels. They kept on telling me in the public health agency that I | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
would be spreading the rectory of for a long time afterwards. So I | :03:25. | :03:34. | |
would not cook. The restaurant owner voluntarily | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
closed it down when he heard that two confirmed cases were linked to | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
the Ablett. He insists that over the years the restaurant followed | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
through on all health and hygiene recommendations. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
You think, am I making people's sake? Is there a problem with | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
cleanliness, where is this coming from? Everything is going through | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
your mind. You're thinking, will there be more people sick? It is | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
your worst nightmare. It is awful. All I can say to people who have | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
been injured in any way by this, we are deeply sorry but surely, we | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
have done nothing knowingly that could have caused this and we just | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
hope we can find the source. The concern is that the e-coli | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
bacterium could be passed on in the home. So anyone handling food is | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
advised to wash their hands especially after using the toilet. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
The rise in cost of living has slowed to its lowest level in three | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
years. Prices went up by around two percent in September. But there's a | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
warning there could be big increases in the cost of food next | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
year. Droughts in some parts of the world are forcing up the price of | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
grain which means our grocery bill will be hit. Gordon Adair reports | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
:05:04. | :05:05. | ||
from County Armagh. The half light of a misty autumn | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
dawn. On this dairy farm the working day is already in full | :05:10. | :05:15. | |
swing. Just a few years ago a drought in Eastern Europe or the | :05:15. | :05:22. | |
United States would have had little impact here or in the shops. But | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
now any increase in global commodity prices affects every | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
single one of us and in rural areas it is a double whammy. Prices are | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
going up in the shops while farmers and there for everyone else is | :05:34. | :05:41. | |
struggling. Let's start with the shopper. Linda is expecting her | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
third child. She also runs a mother and toddler group so she knows the | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
pressures that young families are under. I'm buying a lot more of a | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
shop's own-brand products and I find they are just as good. Lots of | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
parents I have spoken to say they find that shopping is more | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
expensive every week and they cut down on luxuries. And even for | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
Christmas everyone is cutting down. But Ian Marshall insists that the | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
higher food prices are not making it into the pockets of farmers, | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
quite the opposite as a rate of increase in feed costs out strips | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
any increase that farmers are seeing advocate. People used to | :06:28. | :06:35. | |
spend 50% of their income on food but the reality now is that that is | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
10% of the household income. But prices will have to go up to cover | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
costs of production. As a farm or it has to go up because frankly | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
producing food at low cost production is not sustainable. Our | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
businesses would not be here, we cannot continue to produce it on a | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
low-cost production. Processors also have had a difficult year and | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
Angus Wilson says he has noticed big changes in how we all shop. | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Those who perhaps eat out once a fortnight are now buying prepared | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
meals in the supermarket and those who bought some regular food in | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
supermarkets are perhaps buying more of the value items. Everyone | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
has taken it one step down in terms of their purchasing Pattin. Climate | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
change and population pressures seem inevitable realities for the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
future but the real test is how we deal with it. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
The Justice Minister David Ford has promised a review of how hate crime | :07:37. | :07:38. | |
laws are implemented, following a report which questioned their | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
effectiveness. This week here on BBC Newsline we are focussing on | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
hate crime and this evening we can reveal that one section of the | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
community is not protected by the legislation. Tara Mills is here | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
with more on that. The transgender community in | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
Northern Ireland is small, but growing. Just to clarify, | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
transgender means people who feel their visible gender doesn't match | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
how they feel inside. Some but not all go through surgery to change | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
that. The police have been recording incidents against them | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
since 2007, but there is currently no legislation to include the | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
transgender community under hate crime. We're behind England, | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
Scotland and Wales who have all changed their legislation to | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
include them. Two women from the transgender community have taken | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the brave step of speaking out about their experiences. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
It's a picture from the 1980s that could be of any little boy, proudly | :08:35. | :08:42. | |
dressed up for a Christmas picture for the family album. Fast forward | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
30 years, and that little boy is now a woman. Vicky Garrett is one | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
of a small community of transgender people living in Northern Ireland. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
When I was at primary school and growing up I it always felt myself | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
being one of the girls. My closest group of friends were predominantly | :09:02. | :09:09. | |
female. Everyone who goes through their transition is individual. | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
Mine was a little more strange than most. Because about 18 years ago I | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
e first of all came out as gay, as I was at the time, again man. Not | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
realising that in my own head I had confuse the issues of sexual | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
orientation and gender identity. I then continued on that path because | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
at that stage I did not know there was such a thing as Trans gender. | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
Although supported by friends and family, not everyone has accepted | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
her transition. She was the victim of a hate crime two years ago in | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
Belfast City Centre, when a group of men tried to break into her car. | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
One of them exposed himself. It was a very harrowing experience. | :09:54. | :10:00. | |
I think it is about time that such hate crimes are recognised as a | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
very real thing. They may not be recorded and they may not be the | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
paperwork there to say they have been so many, such a percentage, | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
but that does not mean it is any less real. Frances Shiels has | :10:14. | :10:16. | |
destroyed the photographs of her past. She lived almost 60 years as | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
a man, suppressing a feeling she felt was madness. I have always | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
been a woman inside. But hopefully confirmation, surgery, will make it | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
easier to cope with looking in the mirror. Because of until now every | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
time I look in the mirror, it looks back at me. It is not the person | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
you really are that you see in the mirror. And over time it becomes | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
more and more difficult to live with. Frances is careful where and | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
when she goes out. And like many within the transgender community, | :10:51. | :11:01. | |
:11:01. | :11:03. | ||
she's concerned about speaking out. It does worry me, yes. But I think | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
the comeback will only be short term. And if no one from our | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
community actually comes forward and is willing to be visible, then | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
:11:25. | :11:25. | ||
we will always remain invisible. You've been contacting us about our | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
hate crime series. You can join the debate. The details of how to do | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
that are on the screen now. A disabled couple who didn't want to | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
give their names told us they've been living in fear for more than | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
eight years from people in their area tormenting them. And Sarah | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
Travers will be here tomorrow talking to another victim of | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
disabled hate crime. The Health Minister has called for | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
urgent changes in how the Fire and Rescue Service is run. Edwin Poots | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
was speaking after the publication of a damning report into its | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
management and governance. A recent BBC Newsline investigation exposed | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
a dysfunctional leadership culture, a failure to deal with staff | :11:53. | :11:55. | |
grievances, conflicts of interest and bonuses approved by the board | :11:55. | :12:03. | |
but not the department. Earlier I asked Mr Poots how his department | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
had allowed matters to get so bad. Clearly these issues have been | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
going on for over a decade and the problems that existed within the | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
fire service are problems which are not prepared to stand over. So we | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
are taking actions to ensure we move forward on a much better | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
places. And that we deal with the issues of the past but looked to | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
the future in terms of the management and corporate governance | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
of the fire service. Because the server's been carried out by people | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
on the ground is an excellent service and has not been diminished. | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
That is a given, the service given. But many of these problems relate | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
to the last couple of years. You're looking for change at all levels. | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
What about the board, and its chairman? Where are they in all of | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
this? Where was the corporate governance? In terms of the current | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
chairman of the board, a lot of the work that has been done to get to | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
the stage that we're at today has been led by that chairman. And in | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
terms of getting a new chief Executive in, in terms of how they | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
have set up the structures now, a loss of that improvement came under | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
his a authority. So the current board is blameless in all of this? | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
Will I will be watching Bob the current board is doing and how they | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
respond to the report. There's a clear drive from the Assembly today | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
that people should be disciplined and there should not be people | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
being based agreed shovelled out of position but discipline being | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
applied to people who actually undermined the servers. In regard | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
to discipline, you will agree that not all managers or members of the | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
management were at fault in relation to the grievances for | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
example. But the last Chief Fire Officer Peter Craig retired early | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
and the report deals with an allegation made against him which | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
was largely substantiated. Was he disciplined and? Did he have to | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
retire early? I think Peter Craig was probably encouraged to retire | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
early and I think the issues around him that he took many of the fire | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
service, there is no lost to the public body in that respect. It was | :14:28. | :14:34. | |
more issues around the governance. And you can read all the background | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
to those fire service investigations on offer website. | :14:39. | :14:41. | |
There are strong indications that the first and deputy first | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
ministers will make not one but two visits to China in the coming | :14:43. | :14:51. | |
months. Mark Devenport is at Stormont with more on this. Flights | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
are they going not once, but twice? Peter Robinson and Martin | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
McGuinness are booked to go in the middle of next month together with | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
business and university representatives. They have run into | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
a diary clash in terms of what they were hoping to do on the political | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
side in Beijing with a major meeting of Chinese party leaders | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
which will take place in the Chinese capital. This is a once in | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
a decade affair. It had been expected to take place earlier in | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
the year but it was put off and all readers will be there in Beijing in | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
blocked down mode and will not be able to have meetings of the kind | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
that the first and deputy First Minister had been hoping for. So it | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
looks like they will have to leave that in terms of this trip next | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
month. But they are considering a return trip to? They are. They have | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
been advised it would be good diplomacy for them to take up an | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
invitation from the senior Chinese stateswoman who visited Northern | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
Ireland earlier on in spring of this year. She has asked to see | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
both leaders again and would be available for a visit perhaps in | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
the spring next year after the break transition of the leadership | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
happening in Beijing is finally finished. So it may well be that | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
they will have the business element of their mission next month but | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
return for a short but high-level political meeting in the course of | :16:19. | :16:29. | |
the spring of next year. Still to come, as Northern Ireland | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
prepared to face the might of Portugal, Trapattoni faces a battle | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
:16:44. | :16:45. | ||
to keep his job in the republic. Families of IRA murder victims are | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
in Dublin looking for an acknowledgement of what they | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
describe as a failure by Irish governments to stop paramilitaries | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
using the Republic as a safe haven. The delegation which includes the | :16:52. | :17:01. | |
DUP's Arlene Foster is meeting the Taoiseach. It comes after a | :17:01. | :17:03. | |
unionist motion at Stormont called on the Republic's government to | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
apologise for the state's alleged role in the creation of the | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
Provisional IRA in the late 1969. Jennifer O'Leary has been looking | :17:07. | :17:15. | |
at the issues. August 1969. The Battle of the | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:28. | ||
Bogside is raging. Many catholic families fled as refugees from | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
Northern Ireland are teeming across the border. It is clear now that | :17:31. | :17:33. | |
the present situation cannot be allowed to continue, it is clear | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
also that the Irish government can no longer stand by and see innocent | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
people injured and perhaps worse. Field hospitals were set up along | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
the border. A year later the Arms Crisis | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
unfolded, a plot to illegally import arms for nationalists in | :17:47. | :17:57. | |
:17:57. | :17:57. | ||
Northern Ireland. This was not an across the board | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
co-ordinated concerted effort on the part of the Irish state to arm | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
nationalists and republicans in the North, quite the opposite. What | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
clearly comes out of all the files that are available now is that this | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
really was about a small minority within the Fianna Fail party within | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
the government at that time. Neil Blaney was expelled from | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
Fianna Fail. Did you help create the provisional IRA? | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
If that is helping to create them, I will not say no. But we would | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
certainly have accelerated by what assistance we could have given, | :18:35. | :18:41. | |
their emergence as a force. The minister leading the victims' | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
delegation to Dublin today has direct experience of the actions of | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
IRA. She was a passenger in a school bus targeted because the | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
driver was a UDR soldier who was also meeting with enders Kenny. | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
do not think anyone knew what happened. I closed my eyes. I did | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
not know what was going on. There was a second of silence and then | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
everyone started to scream. The DUP has called on the | :19:15. | :19:25. | |
:19:25. | :19:30. | ||
government to apologise. If you want a meaningful apology it has to | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
be for something you are addicted, or your predecessors had some | :19:35. | :19:45. | |
:19:45. | :19:47. | ||
responsibility for. I'm very strong about this, the | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
apology has to come from Sinn Fein and the provisional IRA, has to | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
come from Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. The idea that somebody | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
else should shoulder the blame for their actions as something that | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
appals me. How to deal with the legacy of the conflict is an issue | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
not yet resolved. And for the victims of IRA violence meeting the | :20:00. | :20:06. | |
Taoiseach this evening, the past has not been left behind. | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
And in our late news we have a reaction from some of those | :20:11. | :20:21. | |
:20:21. | :20:22. | ||
campaigners from meeting the Taoiseach this evening. | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
There are two important games against two teams at either end of | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
the world football and scale. Nor are there are island face one of | :20:33. | :20:42. | |
:20:43. | :20:44. | ||
the very best teams, Portugal. -- Northern Ireland. The odds are | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
clearly stacked heavily against Northern Ireland. | :20:48. | :20:53. | |
It is still a couple of a hours away from kick-off. The Portuguese | :20:53. | :21:01. | |
team will shortly leave the hotel to get on this bus. It is a special | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
right for one player in particular. For Cristiano Ronaldo, because he | :21:08. | :21:15. | |
is the first Portuguese player to have 100 international caps. So it | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
is a special might for him. Some Northern Ireland fans and players | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
are going to be wondering if he will give his shirt away this | :21:24. | :21:31. | |
evening. I think he will keep her shirt. Because today is a very | :21:31. | :21:38. | |
special night for him. And who is the better player, messy or | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
Ronaldo? It is difficult to say! I think Ronaldo is the best player in | :21:46. | :21:56. | |
:21:56. | :21:59. | ||
the world. Now it was initially a dream appointment. | :21:59. | :22:09. | |
:22:09. | :22:10. | ||
Messi is from another world! It could be a very long night for | :22:10. | :22:19. | |
Northern Ireland's lone striker. This will be a massive asks for the | :22:19. | :22:28. | |
team this evening. While the Republic of Ireland's | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
opposition tonight may be a footballing minnow but they will | :22:32. | :22:41. | |
try to pile pressure on the Republic of Ireland management. But | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
in the wake of E0uro 2012 and a 6-1 thrashing by Germany at the weekend, | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
the pressure is on the Irish manager to win against the Faroes | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
tonight. Anything less and he could be out of a job. Thomas Niblock | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
reports. It all started so well in 2008. | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
Giovanni Trapattoni, the new Irish manager, was and is one of the most | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
successful managers in world football and only for the famous | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
hand-of-Henri, the Republic of Ireland could have been at the 2010 | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
World Cup. Euro 2012 qualification was secured. Since then, it's all | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
gone wrong for the Republic of Ireland. Statistically the worse | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
team at the Euros, played three, lost three. Thrashed 6-1 in Dublin | :23:16. | :23:22. | |
against Germany on Friday. And Kevin Doyle's last minute winner | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
against Kazakhstan ranked 147th in the world, sparing Irish blushes. | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
So, could tonight's game against the Faroes be Trapatonni's final | :23:27. | :23:37. | |
:23:37. | :23:42. | ||
game in charge? Absolutely not. White a we starting | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
the qualifying now and lost only one game. There is no reason. | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
in the wake of player and management discontent, are the | :23:50. | :23:59. | |
players 100% behind their manager? Of course we are. There will always | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
be refs in the camp. Every week there is one. This happens every | :24:04. | :24:11. | |
week. Last week it happened. Two weeks before that it happened. It | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
happens all the time. We have got one of the best | :24:16. | :24:24. | |
managers in the world. We should have qualified for the World Cup. | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
Trapattoni has alleged tonight's game a "must win" for Irish hopes | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
of making it to the World Cup, but a victory may not be enough for him | :24:29. | :24:39. | |
:24:39. | :24:40. | ||
to finish 2012 as Irish manager. Injured Ulster rugby duo Stephen | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
Ferris and Nick Williams are still in contention to face Glasgow | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
Warriors this Friday after being named in Mark Anscombe's | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
provisional 28 man squad today. The Ulster coach also has a decision to | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
make on his starting number nine. With Paul Marshall's superb form at | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
scrum-half in Ruan Pienaar's absence, could the South African | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
start at number ten? At the end of the date we have to | :24:57. | :25:04. | |
look at the game. It is how you use all the players you have. It does | :25:04. | :25:10. | |
not mean that one has been dropped. It is about how you use them in | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
each game we go into. We are lucky that we have got first-class | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
players. Wilde Joanna Mills the County | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
Antrim runner has decided to switch allegiance from Ireland to Great | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
Britain. She controversially missed out on a place in the Irish 4 x 400 | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
metres relay team in the London Olympics. She had faster times than | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
another athlete who was included in the squad. That is all the sport | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
for now. Now the weather forecast with | :25:50. | :26:00. | |
:26:00. | :26:03. | ||
Now the weather forecast with Cecilia. | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
I actually received a picture from Portugal today, it was probably | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
about 10 degrees warmer there! We had some lovely sunshine today and | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
yesterday on the north coast, where this picture was taken. But it is | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
all starting to change. The cloud will continue its journey north | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
later at this evening and tonight. And unfortunately it is their | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
hanging around over the next couple of days so the range will never be | :26:39. | :26:45. | |
too far away. Some showers around at the moment but for most, the | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
first half of the might is quite dry. And we have a wet ends tonight | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
with a warning out during the course of tomorrow when we could | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
see up to 30 mm of rain especially in eastern counties. That is | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
accompanied by quite strong wind meaning that there is likely to be | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
loss of spray and surface water on the roads. The rain tomorrow | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
morning, the heaviest will be around breakfast time. But it will | :27:22. | :27:29. | |
generally be pretty wet. The wind is strengthening as well and | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
temperatures around eight degrees, not a very pleasant start to the | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
day at all. The west of the rain does tend to ease the way north. | :27:39. | :27:43. | |
Some sunshine flickering through but much more cloudy compared to | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
today. It may technically be milder but it will not feel as pleasant as | :27:49. | :27:56. |
