:00:23. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to BBC Newsline. The headlines this Tuesday evening.

:00:27. > :00:36.We hear the human cost as over �100 million is spent settling medical

:00:36. > :00:40.negligence claims. Jenny will never be back as the same person and

:00:40. > :00:45.there is no money in the world that can bring him back. A man accused

:00:45. > :00:48.of leading the Real IRA walks free from court for a second time. How

:00:48. > :00:56.the man charged with murdering baby Millie explained why her blood was

:00:56. > :01:02.on his clothes. Two fishermen are rescued after their boat sinks off

:01:02. > :01:11.the County Down coast. I'm live with the details. A win for

:01:11. > :01:15.Coleraine against Linfield leaves the title race wide open. It was a

:01:15. > :01:22.mild 15 degrees today but will temperatures be the same tomorrow?

:01:22. > :01:27.Find out shortly. �116 million of public money has been spent

:01:27. > :01:31.settling medical negligence cases here over the last five years. The

:01:31. > :01:35.figures have been revealed in a report by the spending watchdog.

:01:35. > :01:38.Dealing with all the cases which are going on at the moment could

:01:38. > :01:46.cost even more. And on top of that, there are the lasting human costs,

:01:46. > :01:51.as Chris Page reports. Four-and-a- half years ago, James Stewart went

:01:51. > :01:55.into hospital with chest infection. He suffered brain damage after a

:01:55. > :02:00.series of mistakes by staff and the Belfast Health Trust expressed

:02:00. > :02:05.regret. His family care for him in his home in west Belfast. They have

:02:05. > :02:10.taken legal action which is still not fully resolved. No money in the

:02:10. > :02:16.world will ever bring him back. All we want is for things to be right.

:02:16. > :02:22.There are mistakes in everyday life. But he will never be back the same

:02:22. > :02:27.person. There is no money in the world that can bring him back. This

:02:27. > :02:33.is the consequence. Now, the financial cost of negligence to the

:02:33. > :02:37.health service is clear. The spending watchdog has found that

:02:37. > :02:44.the bill for settling claims was �116 million over the last five

:02:44. > :02:49.years. Of that, �77 million was compensation, the rest was made

:02:49. > :02:54.above legal and administrative costs. The report estimates that

:02:54. > :02:59.case is currently in the system could cost the Department even more.

:02:59. > :03:05.Up to �136 million. The solicitor who is involved in a number of

:03:06. > :03:10.negligence cases says the sums are not surprising. It is because of

:03:10. > :03:14.the cost of care, in medical negligence cases and catastrophic

:03:14. > :03:21.cases is very high. If it goes over a long period of time, you find

:03:21. > :03:26.that makes up the bulk and you find that with birth defects and so on,

:03:26. > :03:30.that is over a young child and over the cost -- course of their life.

:03:30. > :03:33.The report says that Northern Ireland's Health trusts provide a

:03:33. > :03:38.high standard of care but it says that reducing the number of

:03:38. > :03:42.incidents where patients are put at risk is our responsibility for the

:03:42. > :03:46.trusts and the Department of Health. To do that, it says they should

:03:46. > :03:51.have a culture in which incidents can be reported easily, honestly

:03:51. > :03:55.and without fear of blame. The Health Minister says his department

:03:55. > :04:00.will consider the findings as part of ongoing work to ensure that

:04:00. > :04:04.services are safe, effective and Patient focused. But he says it

:04:04. > :04:07.would be inappropriate to comment further. Because the report is

:04:07. > :04:11.likely to be the subject of a hearing by the Assembly's Public

:04:11. > :04:16.Accounts Committee. Linda Stewart and her family are hoping their

:04:16. > :04:24.case will be settled next month. Whatever money is involved, the

:04:24. > :04:28.personal cost of what has happened is impossible to estimate for them.

:04:28. > :04:30.A man accused of being one of the leaders of Real IRA has had

:04:30. > :04:34.terrorism charges against him dropped. It's the second time that

:04:34. > :04:40.Kevin Barry Murphy has walked free from court after facing serious

:04:41. > :04:44.charges. Niall Blaney reports. This is the man that police described as

:04:44. > :04:49.the leader of the Real IRA in East Tyrone and a member of its ruling

:04:49. > :04:51.army council. This afternoon, Kevin Barry Murphy walked free from a

:04:51. > :04:56.court in Armagh after the Public Prosecution Service withdrew the

:04:56. > :04:59.charges against him. He had been accused of involvement in an

:04:59. > :05:04.alleged bomb-making factory discovered in South Armagh in April

:05:04. > :05:12.last year. The 41-year-old was arrested after searches in Keady

:05:12. > :05:19.uncovered components used for home- made bombs. Mr Murphy from Altowen

:05:19. > :05:25.Park in Coalisland always denied his involvement. Consistently for

:05:25. > :05:28.14 months, we have denied this and asked one every hearing in front of

:05:28. > :05:33.this judged to produce this evidence, produce any evidence of

:05:33. > :05:37.any sort or release us on bail. We have been consistently denied all

:05:37. > :05:42.of this because the truth is, somebody said we were guilty of

:05:42. > :05:47.something without evidence and that that isn't tantamount to internment,

:05:47. > :05:49.nothing is. In 2004, Mr Murphy was one of four men acquitted of

:05:49. > :05:56.conspiracy to murder members of the security forces. They claimed they

:05:56. > :05:59.had been set up by an alleged informer, Gareth O'Connor. His body

:05:59. > :06:01.was discovered in a car in Newry canal in 2005. Today, charges

:06:02. > :06:04.relating to the bomb-making factory were also withdrawn against four of

:06:04. > :06:14.Mr Murphy's co-accused, three of whom remain in custody on separate

:06:14. > :06:17.

:06:17. > :06:20.alleged offences. Two fishermen were at the centre of a dramatic

:06:20. > :06:23.sea rescue this morning when their trawler sank 12 miles off the

:06:23. > :06:27.County Down coast. The Ardglass registered boat, the Snowdonia, was

:06:27. > :06:34.off Kilkeel when it got into trouble. Julie McCullough is in

:06:34. > :06:39.Kilkeel tonight. What more do you know about what happened? I can't

:06:39. > :06:45.tell you that the two men had been fishing for prongs this morning and

:06:45. > :06:50.their boat, Snowdonia, started taking on water. To save themselves,

:06:50. > :06:55.they actually jumped into the water and assured time later, the boat

:06:55. > :07:00.completely sank. Thankfully, another fishing boat was in the

:07:00. > :07:05.area and it was able to take both men are on board. As Andrew

:07:05. > :07:11.McConnell from Kilkeel lifebuoy explained, by that time, both men

:07:11. > :07:17.had been in the water for around him minutes. When we got there,

:07:17. > :07:21.they were on board, the crewman was in the Calais with a coat around

:07:21. > :07:31.him and the skipper was in the wheelhouse. He was in a bad shape

:07:31. > :07:35.with hypothermia, and he was freezing with the cold. Shaking.

:07:35. > :07:39.Because of concerns for their health, they decided to get the

:07:39. > :07:45.coastguard helicopter from Dublin to get the men to Daisy Hill

:07:45. > :07:48.hospital as quickly as possible. The good news to the story is that

:07:48. > :07:52.both men have since been discharged. Back to the studio. Thank you very

:07:52. > :07:55.much. Still to come on the programme. Is Derry on your list of

:07:55. > :08:05.dream destinations? We'll be finding out why it's the place to

:08:05. > :08:10.be. The man accused of murdering Millie Martin told police that he

:08:10. > :08:13.had blood on his clothes from his attempts to resuscitate the toddler.

:08:13. > :08:23.The trial also heard that when Barry McCarney was arrested he told

:08:23. > :08:24.

:08:24. > :08:27.the child's mother, Rachael Martin, to trust him. Barry McCarney said

:08:27. > :08:31.he returned to the house after taking Millie Martin to the Erne

:08:31. > :08:38.Hospital. He wanted to pick up close for Rachael Martin and

:08:38. > :08:42.collect her teddy bears to bring to Belfast. He said he had put on

:08:42. > :08:45.trainers as he had left the house in his socks and that he changed

:08:45. > :08:48.his top as there was blood on the sleeve. He said he had nicked

:08:48. > :08:52.Millie's lip when he was breathing into Millie's mouth to resuscitate

:08:52. > :08:55.her and that he had wiped his mouth on his sleeve. The previous day he

:08:55. > :08:58.said Millie wasn't eating and that Rachael was completely stressed. At

:08:58. > :09:01.home he said Rachael burst into tears and he comforted her. He said

:09:01. > :09:04.he had a very good relationship with Rachael and that they were

:09:04. > :09:09.also very good friends. He said Rachael would use his nickname when

:09:09. > :09:19.putting Millie to bed, asking if she had a kiss for Barry Budgie.

:09:19. > :09:20.

:09:20. > :09:23.She always does, he said. Even though he had two children of his

:09:23. > :09:26.own, he told police he had never once in his life changed a baby's

:09:26. > :09:29.nappy. He said he sometimes looked after Millie while Rachael was at

:09:30. > :09:35.the shop but he was never left alone with the toddler for more

:09:35. > :09:38.than an hour. When he was arrested by a policeman on suspicion of

:09:38. > :09:46.raping Millie, Barry McCarney said he told Rachael, don't listen to

:09:46. > :09:50.what he says, trust me. The School of Dentistry at Queen's University

:09:50. > :09:54.has been severely criticised by the UK body which regulates dental

:09:54. > :09:57.professionals. Following a re- inspection of the school, the

:09:57. > :10:05.General Dental Council said only limited progress had been made and

:10:05. > :10:07.the programme remains in a fragile state. The head of the medical

:10:07. > :10:16.school says the teaching accreditation for dentistry is not

:10:16. > :10:20.at risk. Marie-Louise Connolly reports. For students enrolled, it

:10:20. > :10:24.is a tough five-year programme where medical knowledge is mixed

:10:24. > :10:28.with clinical experience. Part of Queen's University, Northern

:10:28. > :10:31.Ireland's only dental training school, is based in the Royal

:10:31. > :10:37.Victoria site in Belfast but after members of staff faced concerns

:10:37. > :10:40.last year, the standard of teaching and the level of funding was

:10:40. > :10:45.inspected by the General Dental Council, the UK body which

:10:45. > :10:49.regulates the profession. Following a reinspection in 20th March 12,

:10:49. > :10:54.the inspectors' report talks about the slow pace of progress in an

:10:54. > :10:58.environment where staff morale is low. It highlights lack of

:10:58. > :11:02.leadership and that many senior academic posts remain unfilled.

:11:02. > :11:05.Queen's University says improvements have been made,

:11:05. > :11:10.including attempts to find staff and improving the overall student

:11:10. > :11:15.experience. And they insist they are not at risk of losing their

:11:15. > :11:22.teaching accreditation. I actually believe that but all the activity

:11:22. > :11:26.going on a the moment, led by the University, the course is sound and

:11:26. > :11:32.that is a comment that came from the chief executive of the General

:11:32. > :11:36.Dental Council. Four years ago, the school was full to the best in the

:11:36. > :11:42.UK and those in the field say it's paramount that standards are

:11:42. > :11:45.maintained to attract the best to combat teach and work in Belfast.

:11:45. > :11:49.The school is really important in the lives of dentists in Northern

:11:50. > :11:54.Ireland from the point of view of teaching, postgraduate teaching to

:11:54. > :11:58.those dentists, the research the school provides and the service to

:11:58. > :12:02.patients that is consultant lead and that's very important. Why the

:12:02. > :12:07.report describes as good as being fragile, the inspectors also said

:12:07. > :12:11.that the programme should continue it to be deemed sufficient. However,

:12:11. > :12:14.if that is to continue, they want to see evidence that certain

:12:14. > :12:20.requirements have been met when they return it next year to carry

:12:20. > :12:23.out another inspection. San Francisco and Amsterdam are at the

:12:23. > :12:26.top of many people's dream holiday destinations but what about

:12:26. > :12:32.Londonderry? It has joined those two tourism powerhouses as one of

:12:32. > :12:38.the world's top cities to visit in 2013. The recommendation is made by

:12:38. > :12:43.a leading travel guide. Keiron Tourish has more. It's the type of

:12:43. > :12:47.publicity you could not buy. Being placed on a list of one of the best

:12:47. > :12:50.places to visit next year. According to the Lonely Planet's

:12:50. > :12:55.Best In Travel 2013 guide, Derry is ranked in fourth position, behind

:12:55. > :13:02.places like San Francisco and Amsterdam. Naturally enough,

:13:02. > :13:08.there's a great sense of pride on the banks of the Foyle. It is

:13:08. > :13:13.fantastic because the city has come on so well in recent years.

:13:13. > :13:21.Hopefully, it will bring a huge influx of tourists. I just cannot

:13:21. > :13:28.believe it. I have had a smile on my face all morning. The travel

:13:28. > :13:33.guide says that Derry is the UK City of Culture in 2013 and it is a

:13:33. > :13:37.vibrant, historic city undergoing a renaissance. The Lonely Planet

:13:37. > :13:41.travel guide says it is a brilliant example of a city that has bounced

:13:41. > :13:45.back from difficult times. A city with heart which shines through in

:13:45. > :13:49.its exciting arts and music scene. It is described as a place

:13:49. > :13:52.undergoing a renaissance in the book and we stand by that, this is

:13:52. > :13:58.a place that people have maybe looked at in the past and thought,

:13:58. > :14:03.I will not go there now. Go, you'll enjoy it. But can the city cope

:14:03. > :14:08.with the visitors expected next year? There are challenges but I

:14:08. > :14:11.feel that we can maximise the opportunities that we have here. It

:14:11. > :14:16.has been a difficult investment environment for the past couple of

:14:16. > :14:20.years and whilst we would like more new builds, we have new rooms

:14:20. > :14:23.coming on board within the next few months and we see that as an

:14:23. > :14:26.opportunity for the region. During the Troubles, Derry and Northern

:14:26. > :14:36.Ireland generated the type of images which put people off coming

:14:36. > :14:36.

:14:36. > :14:43.here. But now it seems there is a different perception of the place.

:14:43. > :14:46.It is very nice. The people are very nice. I love Derry. It is a

:14:46. > :14:52.very friendly place. Locals say that friendly attitude and a very

:14:52. > :14:58.parochial greeting always makes visitors welcome. Here is a flavour.

:14:58. > :15:02.What about you? What is the crack? There is no doubt that the

:15:02. > :15:06.publicity generated by the ranking will be seen as a huge marketing

:15:06. > :15:11.opportunity by those promoting the City. The challenge now, of course,

:15:11. > :15:21.is to be in a position to cater for all those tourists intent on coming

:15:21. > :15:21.

:15:21. > :15:24.here next year. Just a couple of weeks ago we told you about this

:15:24. > :15:27.year's disastrous apple crop in County Armagh, with yields

:15:27. > :15:30.decimated by the poor weather. But there is a silver lining to the

:15:30. > :15:33.Orchard County's cloud. Cider. A decade ago there wasn't a single

:15:33. > :15:36.artisan producer in the county. Now, there are seven and all seem to be

:15:36. > :15:45.on the up with demand growing relentlessly. Gordon Adair has been

:15:45. > :15:49.to meet some of those at the core of this boom. A bright cider apple

:15:49. > :15:54.is a thing of beauty and it is something that is increasingly

:15:54. > :15:59.inspiring passion. What makes good cider? By good apples. You can make

:15:59. > :16:06.cider in 10 days, fermenting apple juice. But making it palatable,

:16:06. > :16:10.with people coming back for, that is the art. This is from Keady,

:16:10. > :16:16.this is very sweet. David up Richard is one of those practising

:16:16. > :16:21.that art. We have got to the stage where people want quality product.

:16:21. > :16:28.They are prepared to pay more for that. Over the next cheers, we

:16:28. > :16:35.would like to see people coming round and changing to a product

:16:36. > :16:41.that has a feel that is closer to the Apple itself. Philip was one of

:16:41. > :16:45.the first artisan producers to set up here. The out, he is the biggest.

:16:46. > :16:50.They say it's a long-term project and that is an understatement.

:16:50. > :16:53.patted his first cider orchard in the mid- 1990s but it was one

:16:53. > :16:57.decade and a have before he could produce commercially on his farm.

:16:57. > :17:04.Just three years ago, he was producing less than 7000 litres,

:17:04. > :17:10.and this year? Probably about 120,000 pictures. Because they make

:17:10. > :17:14.cider from apples and not from concentrate, we have to put down

:17:14. > :17:21.all of the cider in this next month. We cannot buy apples after that.

:17:21. > :17:25.They are only available at harvest time. In 2000, he helped form an

:17:25. > :17:30.association of Mecca's, an association which are still growing.

:17:30. > :17:38.It is a craft industry, it is very widely available in the West of

:17:38. > :17:44.England and in France. That is to recreate that value added craft to

:17:44. > :17:49.the farms. Everybody would prefer to have locally produced food, no

:17:49. > :17:54.miles, keeping it simple but still having a very high quality and that

:17:54. > :17:58.is what will decide the success of the project. Providing the cider is

:17:58. > :18:04.a high-quality and remains a high quality and they will be a huge

:18:04. > :18:13.market for it. Producers like David and Philip are determined to take

:18:13. > :18:19.advantage of that market. You're watching BBC Newsline. Later in the

:18:19. > :18:29.programme. The end of an era as the digital switchover is marked by the

:18:29. > :18:29.

:18:29. > :18:32.first-ever joint BBC UTV project. Sport and Linfield, usually so

:18:32. > :18:35.dominant in local football, aren't having it their own way so far this

:18:35. > :18:38.season. Coleraine are starting to have a real say in the Premiership

:18:38. > :18:42.season. A five-goal thriller at the Showgrounds saw the Bannsiders

:18:42. > :18:45.snatch a dramatic 3-2 win over champions Linfield. So, David

:18:45. > :18:54.Jeffrey's side remain in the lower half of the table, 11 points behind

:18:54. > :19:02.the leaders. Mark Sidebottom reports. Tough times for David

:19:02. > :19:05.Jeffrey. 30 trophies in 15 years. Linfield are beset by pretenders to

:19:05. > :19:11.their throne. Coleraine show the champions little respect with an

:19:11. > :19:20.early two-goal salvo. Darren boys's clinical opening blow was followed

:19:20. > :19:26.by a this second thrust from Curtis Allen. When did, the champions

:19:26. > :19:30.responded. Just like that! before half-time, they had a very

:19:30. > :19:34.strong claim for a penalty, denied by the officials. They might have

:19:34. > :19:40.something to say about that. men it looked to have snatched a

:19:40. > :19:44.point in the dying moments through the foot of Brian Henderson. Only

:19:44. > :19:52.for her artistry at the other end to secure the win and three points

:19:52. > :19:58.for the home side. Right at the death! The champions stay in 8th

:19:59. > :20:01.place, Coleraine are in second. Celtic face arguably the ultimate

:20:01. > :20:04.challenge in club football tonight away to Barcelona in the Champions

:20:05. > :20:08.League. Manager Neil Lennon admits that it will be a real test taking

:20:08. > :20:14.on one of the best sides in Europe, with Lionel Messi, the best player

:20:14. > :20:20.in the world, within their ranks. don't think I could come up with

:20:20. > :20:29.any superlatives that will do the Manchester us. But we cannot just

:20:29. > :20:34.concentrate on him. Pedro, Fabregas, the list is endless. The players

:20:34. > :20:38.that could be a potential threat but a Lionel Messi it is that bit

:20:38. > :20:43.special. But we're not here for a holiday. We're here to play

:20:43. > :20:47.football. And we are going to be in for a very tough 90 minutes but we

:20:47. > :20:50.want Barcelona to be in for a very tough 90 minutes as well.

:20:50. > :20:53.organisers of motorcycling's North West 200 say that the success this

:20:53. > :20:55.year of Thursday night racing means further changes will be made to the

:20:55. > :21:03.race programme next year. An enthusiastic response from both

:21:03. > :21:08.fans and riders has led to changes to the festival. The race format

:21:08. > :21:14.will change, three races on Thursday night, Superstock,

:21:14. > :21:18.Supersport and the supertwin. Last year, we had racing on the evening

:21:18. > :21:23.and this year we introduced three races and on the Saturday race day,

:21:23. > :21:27.five races, including a new race on Saturday. We have taken a lot of

:21:31. > :21:39.break in the afternoon. Because they have five races. Supertwins,

:21:39. > :21:42.that should help. They may have lost their injured captain for

:21:42. > :21:44.eight weeks but Ulster are able to recall another key player, Roger

:21:44. > :21:47.Wilson, to the squad for Friday's Pro12 game against Newport Gwent

:21:47. > :21:50.Dragons. Wilson, who began his career at Ravenhill, is set for his

:21:50. > :21:57.first competitive match of the season since rejoining Ulster from

:21:57. > :22:02.Northampton. His return is a big boost for his team-mates. It is

:22:02. > :22:07.going to massive, Berkeley is a great player and he had 100 caps

:22:07. > :22:11.for Ulster. 100 for Northampton. That speaks of his quality and how

:22:11. > :22:15.well he can do it. It has been unfortunate with injury but you can

:22:15. > :22:17.see a real impact from him. That will be live on the BBC on Friday.

:22:17. > :22:20.Finally, congratulations the Northern Ireland women's under 19

:22:20. > :22:22.side who have beaten Hungary 3-2 to guarantee qualification for the

:22:23. > :22:25.Elite stage of UEFA European Championships in the spring, one

:22:26. > :22:35.stage away from the finals. The Republic of Ireland and Scotland

:22:36. > :22:36.

:22:36. > :22:38.women's teams have also made it through. It really is the end of an

:22:38. > :22:41.era as Northern Ireland completes the digital switchover. The

:22:41. > :22:47.analogue signal will be turned off later tonight. That means no more

:22:47. > :22:50.BBC One, BBC Two or the commercial channels unless you have digital TV.

:22:50. > :22:52.And to mark what really is a technological milestone, the first

:22:52. > :22:58.ever joint BBC-UTV programme will be broadcast tonight as Natasha

:22:58. > :23:03.Sayee reports. The BBC's Blackstaff studio is buzzing as the camera

:23:03. > :23:08.crews get ready for tonight's special programme. While we say

:23:08. > :23:12.goodbye to the old analogue channels. Yes, there's a touch of

:23:12. > :23:20.nostalgia. But it is a celebration, too, looking back at best of local

:23:20. > :23:23.television over the past 60 years. It does not matter if you are 18 or

:23:23. > :23:28.20, there is something there for you that you will remember from

:23:28. > :23:33.your past and the music and the clips and those personalities

:23:33. > :23:38.involved. It is a real trip down memory lane and visually, it will

:23:38. > :23:43.not happen again, and we are looking at the past but with this

:23:43. > :23:46.switchover, we'd move seamlessly into the future. Plus there's a

:23:46. > :23:54.chance for you to get involved we want to know your most memorable TV

:23:54. > :24:00.moment. Here's what you can choose from. I had to go to the Minister

:24:00. > :24:10.at Stormont to fight for fair play. Don't you argue with me. I'm the

:24:10. > :24:14.

:24:14. > :24:20.Pope! Thank you very much! sorry, this is my traditional route.

:24:20. > :24:30.I would just pass on, here. Traffic wardens are hardly a Belfast

:24:30. > :24:38.

:24:38. > :24:42.phenomenon. Ph.. Phe... Phenomenon! A this is a Dublin train. I'm going

:24:42. > :24:47.to take part in a protest in Ballymena. You can vote for your

:24:47. > :24:54.magic moment online. Of course, there's an important message coming

:24:54. > :25:04.out of all of this. The fact that at 11.30pm tonight, all analogue

:25:04. > :25:04.

:25:04. > :25:07.channels will be gone. People will have more choice, things like high-

:25:08. > :25:12.definition broadcasting and other ways to incorrect but the same

:25:12. > :25:15.great programmes we have all this produced. Today, the talent, the

:25:15. > :25:18.producers, we have come together to make one programme for the audience,

:25:18. > :25:24.current affairs and light entertainment, things that made

:25:24. > :25:28.television great over the last 60 years. The Magic Box will be shown

:25:28. > :25:31.on BBC One NI and on UTV tonight at 10:35pm and if you are still stuck

:25:31. > :25:33.in the switchover process and need some help, there are advice points

:25:33. > :25:43.across Northern Ireland, including outside Belfast City Hall and

:25:43. > :25:43.

:25:43. > :25:51.outside the Guildhall in Londonderry tomorrow and Thursday.

:25:51. > :25:58.Giant haystacks gets my vote! Now We say goodbye to the old graphics

:25:58. > :26:02.on Ceefax but we shall keep you up- to-date. Today, we reached

:26:02. > :26:06.temperatures of 15 degrees, above average for this time of year so

:26:06. > :26:10.not too bad. We have a lot of cloud around at the moment and as a

:26:10. > :26:15.result, that will act like a blanket. Many areas will not fall

:26:15. > :26:20.below double figures. It's a mad night. Some countryside areas, in

:26:20. > :26:25.the West, could run and that. That brings us into tomorrow and it will

:26:25. > :26:29.be a rather cloudy day as that cloud sticks around, perhaps not as

:26:29. > :26:35.sunny as in some places but it shall be mainly dry. To begin with,

:26:35. > :26:39.lots of cloud, easily wind feeling cooler on the Antrim coast but in

:26:39. > :26:42.the West, not bad. The cloud breaking up eventually for the

:26:42. > :26:47.afternoon and a lulling hazy sunshine to come through.

:26:47. > :26:52.Especially in the West but even in parts of Antrim and County Down and

:26:52. > :26:57.County Armagh, one or two bricks. Temperatures, 13 or 14 degrees and

:26:57. > :27:00.in any sunshine it will fade better than that. We end on a pretty

:27:00. > :27:05.decent note with the chance of damp weather towards the south-east but

:27:05. > :27:11.for most people, it's a dry end to the day. Tomorrow night will be

:27:11. > :27:16.colder. 10 or 11 degrees, tomorrow, seven or eight degrees. They will

:27:16. > :27:23.be a chill in the air. Thursday will be colder. 10 or 11 degrees

:27:23. > :27:27.for most of us. The easterly wind keeping it feel cooler. It's a dry

:27:27. > :27:32.day with the best chance of damp weather across the east over Antrim

:27:32. > :27:39.and down and perhaps parts of Armagh. It will be colder overnight

:27:39. > :27:44.into Friday and that is when we begin to taste the first Arctic. It

:27:44. > :27:47.will feel cold from Friday and into the weekend. Temperatures barely

:27:47. > :27:51.getting up into seven or eight degrees. As you can imagine, it

:27:51. > :28:00.will be pretty chilly at night. We will keep you up-to-date, follow us
