:21:24. > :21:27.medal prospect for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow -- a couple of days
:21:27. > :21:34.ago. But his world has come tumbling down. A broken leg saw him miss out
:21:34. > :21:39.on the London Olympics and after a long rehabilitation process, he was
:21:39. > :21:46.back performing when this happened. I felt an horrific snap of my tibia
:21:46. > :21:53.and I knew straightaway my leg had broken. The pain, I never saw
:21:54. > :21:58.anything like it in my life. Where are you regarding your future? A

:22:56. > :23:00.Tourish. It is certainly not lacking in
:23:00. > :23:03.ambition. A multinational cast has taken over this square for an
:23:03. > :23:07.open-air performance which will examine conflicts like the Vietnam

:23:19. > :23:29.lost his life in 1972 is dramatically re-enacted. But there

:23:41. > :23:46.beautiful bride. As a family, at certain times of the year,

:23:51. > :23:59.lived? Would he have married? What would he be doing? It is a question
:23:59. > :24:06.we ask ourselves and this play, they are answering a question for us. The
:24:06. > :24:12.Conquest of Happiness draws its inspiration from world renowned
:24:12. > :24:19.pacifist Bertrand Russell who wrote the book in 1930. The Bosnian

:24:33. > :24:40.ethical voice that he had and still has and I think without ship --

:24:56. > :25:02.production. I have never done anything on this kind of scale, of
:25:02. > :25:08.this size, outdoors. The chorus that we have, three choirs from Derry,
:25:08. > :25:12.ten actors, it is a massive scale, massive undertaking. Unusually in
:25:12. > :25:16.this the epochal performance, the audience is in the Open air and
:25:16. > :25:20.amongst the actors. The intention is you become immersed in the drama
:25:20. > :25:29.around you. Let's hope the weather improves.
:25:29. > :25:30.Let's find out now. It just might. What a difference a
:25:30. > :25:39.day makes. After the rain last night, it is a
:25:39. > :25:44.clearer picture this evening. The chance of a shower here or there but
:25:44. > :25:47.much better than last night. Temperatures tonight down to around
:25:47. > :25:54.seven degrees. This is what we had last night, rain coming in over. At
:25:54. > :25:59.4am, wide awake, could not get back to sleep as that rain hammered down.
:25:59. > :26:06.As we head into tomorrow, it is a much better day. Dry and right. Just
:26:06. > :26:11.about everywhere. This is the picture tomorrow morning. -- dry and
:26:11. > :26:16.right. Occasional showers, but a dry picture everywhere. And some breaks
:26:16. > :26:23.in the cloud. That will help temperatures. Highs of 15, 16,
:26:23. > :26:31.through the day on Friday. Not a bad day. And into the evening, it is a
:26:31. > :26:36.quiet Friday night weather-wise. Temperatures will be a bit warmer,
:26:36. > :26:43.ten, 11 degrees. We have more cloud on the way wrote in by the tail end
:26:44. > :26:49.of this tropical storm -- brought in. The chance of some rain for
:26:49. > :26:57.Saturday. But the upside is we have this warmer air. Temperatures of
:26:57. > :27:04.around 17 degrees. That is not bad for the middle of September. As we
:27:04. > :27:10.head into the weekend, the trend of temperatures being on the rise will
:27:10. > :27:13.continue. Into Sunday, you can see plenty of cloud around. But where we
:27:13. > :27:20.get wakes in that cloud, temperatures could be on the rise --
:27:20. > :27:21.breaks. Up to 20 on Sunday, very pleasant for the middle of
