:00:28. > :00:30.table talks with the political parties Dr Richard Haass says he is

:00:30. > :00:35.encouraged agreement can be reached. parties Dr Richard Haass says he is

:00:35. > :00:42.I believe there is a real chance to succeed. That is a step. A real

:00:42. > :00:48.chance is not a guarantee. A woman appears in court in Lisburn

:00:48. > :00:50.charged with the murder of her three-year-old son.

:00:50. > :00:56.Ticket prices for the Nomadic could be reduced in a bid to improve

:00:56. > :01:02.visitor numbers. How interesting is that? Is it a pounds interesting? I

:01:02. > :01:07.do not think so. It is a big night in Belfast. It is

:01:07. > :01:14.all singing, all dancing and guess what, it is not raining!

:01:31. > :01:40.King ahead to the weekend. -- looking ahead.

:01:40. > :01:43.Everyone agrees he has a difficult job but the man who's been asked to

:01:44. > :01:47.help solve some of Northern Ireland's most divisive issues now

:01:47. > :01:50.says he has a real chance of success. Dr Richard Haass was

:01:50. > :01:53.speaking at a news conference which marked the end of his team's first

:01:53. > :01:59.week of talks in Northern Ireland. Gareth Gordon reports. After 30

:01:59. > :02:02.separate meetings with 100 different people in four days it was time to

:02:02. > :02:07.separate meetings with 100 different bring the politicians together. The

:02:07. > :02:11.first signs look positive. Until now, the parties have rich -- met Dr

:02:11. > :02:16.first signs look positive. Until Richard Haass separately today is

:02:16. > :02:18.the day they get down to business. Robbins operates, planks and the

:02:18. > :02:22.the day they get down to business. past have so far proved impossible

:02:22. > :02:26.to solve. With these experienced maths said they were going away with

:02:26. > :02:33.a strong sense of possibility that that could change. What we have both

:02:34. > :02:39.been in any number of political processes. We have been in Europe in

:02:39. > :02:45.the Middle East, and in Asia and in Latin America and here. Based upon

:02:45. > :02:49.the experience, based upon the quality of the conversations we have

:02:49. > :02:54.had, and also our familiarity with the issues, both of us were involved

:02:54. > :03:01.here a decade ago, I believe there is a real chance to succeed. I would

:03:01. > :03:07.like to stress just how positive the town of every meeting was. You might

:03:07. > :03:11.imagine that some parties came in to stake out a prone position, lay down

:03:11. > :03:16.the goblet. In the cases did that happen. We found everywhere and came

:03:16. > :03:20.in in a spirit of cooperation and well-prepared and as a result we had

:03:20. > :03:26.in in a spirit of cooperation and a fruitful discussion. -- them

:03:26. > :03:31.gauntlet. He ruled out taking the talks into next year. We have made

:03:31. > :03:36.it clear that as we are operating under a deadline, we will finish our

:03:36. > :03:41.work before the end of December. Let me just say that nothing I have

:03:41. > :03:45.heard or read leads me to think that more time will result in more

:03:45. > :03:47.progress. Some of the parties agree with that more than others. I think

:03:47. > :03:53.it would be wrong if we were to with that more than others. I think

:03:53. > :03:59.build public expectations. We need to be realistic where we can go. I

:03:59. > :04:03.build public expectations. We need do not think the issue is that we

:04:03. > :04:08.need more time to discuss the issues or understand positions. Those are

:04:08. > :04:13.well-known. The issues I did we want to resolve them? The public demands

:04:13. > :04:17.we should. We need to test the will in the room as to whether or not we

:04:17. > :04:23.are going to do that in the time frame set aside. If we go into 2014

:04:23. > :04:26.with the shadow of doubt and disputes and a failure to resolve

:04:26. > :04:35.the issues which have haunted us for far too long, then that will sever

:04:35. > :04:44.politics into next year. What about the two largest parties? We are at a

:04:44. > :04:49.crucial point. I want to come out of this that we have made substantial

:04:49. > :04:53.progress and are moving ahead. The politicians alone do not have the

:04:53. > :04:57.answers. We want to hear from people across the community, their views on

:04:57. > :05:00.answers. We want to hear from people the issues so we can take those bees

:05:00. > :05:04.on board as we prepare our submissions and seek to reach

:05:04. > :05:08.agreements on what are very complex and challenging matters. When he

:05:08. > :05:13.returns in late October, Doctor Haas will hold meetings in London, Dublin

:05:13. > :05:14.and parts of Northern Ireland. The talks website has received 100

:05:14. > :05:18.submissions so far and adverts will talks website has received 100

:05:18. > :05:23.be placed on 55 different outlets asking for more submissions and

:05:23. > :05:32.groups to be seen. Expectations are high.

:05:32. > :05:41.So what's the verdict on week one of the Haass talks? Mark Devenport

:05:41. > :05:49.joins me. Some acknowledgement that the past is going to be difficult.

:05:49. > :05:52.Yes, it is the first time that the talks team said while there are so

:05:52. > :05:58.many ways that you can talk about the issues, there are more definite

:05:58. > :05:59.issues in the past because of its very complexity and the number of

:05:59. > :06:04.issues in the past because of its issues involved. They may be more

:06:04. > :06:10.difficult. That might be pointing us towards the notion that they may

:06:10. > :06:11.have more of a pointing recommendation in relation to the

:06:11. > :06:16.past rather than trying to tie all recommendation in relation to the

:06:16. > :06:21.the ends down. As you sow in the report, the talk of deadlines

:06:21. > :06:25.again. In that report, Dr Richard Haass sounded definite about at the

:06:26. > :06:30.end of the year he was out of here. It has to be said that later in the

:06:30. > :06:33.news conference he said if he could be persuaded that an extra month

:06:33. > :06:37.would make a difference he might consider it, even though at this

:06:37. > :06:41.stage she was not persuaded. He may end up ruining that because the

:06:41. > :06:46.history of our politicians is that if they are given a chink of light

:06:46. > :06:54.about a deadline they will take it. Thank you.

:06:54. > :06:56.A mother has appeared in court in Lisburn charged with the murder of

:06:56. > :06:58.A mother has appeared in court in her three-year-old son in July. The

:06:58. > :07:06.27-year-old was remanded in custody. Mervyn Jess reports.

:07:06. > :07:09.The charge relates to the discovery of the body of three-year-old

:07:09. > :07:11.Brendan Owens in the house in Trinity Terrace in July. A

:07:11. > :07:14.Brendan Owens in the house in postmortem was carried out in July

:07:14. > :07:17.and the results are believed to have been inconclusive. This morning, the

:07:17. > :07:19.child's mother, Michelle Owens, aged 27, was charged with his murder. A

:07:19. > :07:22.child's mother, Michelle Owens, aged 51-year-old man who was also

:07:22. > :07:25.arrested in connection with the killing and was released on bail

:07:25. > :07:32.pending further enquiries. Michelle Owens was flanked by a female

:07:32. > :07:37.custody officer in court. She did not speak. She is accused of the

:07:38. > :07:39.murder of three-year-old Brendan Owens. A detective constable said he

:07:39. > :07:42.believed he could connect her with Owens. A detective constable said he

:07:42. > :08:02.the crime. She was remanded in custody and will appear in court via

:08:02. > :08:05.video link next month. Open for almost four months, the SS

:08:05. > :08:10.Nomadic is thinking of reducing ticket prices over the coming months

:08:10. > :08:12.to help boost visitor numbers. It also hopes to capitalise on the

:08:12. > :08:15.success of Titanic Belfast with a also hopes to capitalise on the

:08:15. > :08:20.joint admission package next year. Our business correspondent Julian

:08:20. > :08:25.O'Neill has more details. The SS Nomadic which once served the great

:08:25. > :08:30.Titanic is still in its shadow, 100 years later. Or at least in terms of

:08:30. > :08:35.visitor numbers. Today was a good day, busier than usual. It has been

:08:35. > :08:37.open since June and the man in charge says he is pleased. But

:08:38. > :08:43.already the project is thinking of cutting admission -- admission

:08:43. > :08:48.prices for the months ahead. For the first three months we have had

:08:48. > :08:52.13,000 visitors. What is your thinking behind possibly reducing

:08:52. > :08:56.the visitor prices for the winter? Is that an attempt to boost numbers?

:08:56. > :08:58.Any place that is asked to consider what is appropriate to try and

:08:58. > :09:04.Any place that is asked to consider improve that file. That met the

:09:04. > :09:11.number of people coming in. We have considered that. The adult ticket

:09:11. > :09:14.prices a pounds 50 and that is £6 cheaper than the signature project

:09:14. > :09:19.and build an 850,000 visitors in cheaper than the signature project

:09:19. > :09:26.first year. Is the Nomadic doomed to struggle? Did think it's value for

:09:26. > :09:31.money? Yes, I would say so. It depends on your interest. If you

:09:32. > :09:36.have an interest for Heritage, definitely. I suppose it is

:09:36. > :09:43.interesting. But how interesting is that? A pounds interesting? I do not

:09:43. > :09:47.think so. Perhaps I mean. Was it a case of deciding to go for one

:09:47. > :09:54.project or the other? Yes, you have to prioritise. There is so much to

:09:54. > :09:57.see. I think if you could get a maritime ticket for all of Belfast

:09:58. > :10:02.and have the experience it would be a great idea. The Nomadic needs

:10:02. > :10:05.40,000 visitors every year to break even and is pushing the idea of a

:10:05. > :10:10.joint ticket strategy with its big neighbour. Titanic Belfast said in a

:10:10. > :10:15.statement that the joint ticketing ID is on the agenda for discussions.

:10:16. > :10:20.It may even be introduced sometime next year but for now, the Nomadic,

:10:20. > :10:30.the last of the White Star line, remains on its own. You are watching

:10:30. > :10:33.BBC Newsline. Still to come, more human remains are no why

:10:33. > :10:41.archaeologists during a dig in Londonderry.

:10:41. > :10:44.A social worker has told BBC Newsline that staff regularly go to

:10:44. > :10:47.extraordinary lengths to protect young people. Earlier this week it

:10:47. > :10:49.emerged that 30 people have been arrested as part of the

:10:49. > :10:52.investigation into the sexual exploitation of at least 22

:10:52. > :10:55.teenagers. Maeve Duffin, who's a senior social worker, said staff

:10:55. > :10:58.have followed young people and have tried to stop them travelling. Our

:10:58. > :11:01.Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly began by asking her to

:11:01. > :11:15.describe her attempts to protect one particular child. For the young

:11:15. > :11:20.describe her attempts to protect one person who left, I was alerted and I

:11:20. > :11:25.was able to watch the situation. I watched them getting into a car, I

:11:25. > :11:29.took the registration number and followed the car. I passed it on to

:11:29. > :11:34.the police. That young person was missing for a period of time. When I

:11:34. > :11:39.came back we were concerned about -- when they came back I was concerned

:11:39. > :11:44.about what had happened. We talked to them about their sexual health,

:11:44. > :11:51.if they needed to go to hospital, if they needed to talk to the police.

:11:51. > :11:54.What are you and your staff doing to try and protect these children? I

:11:54. > :11:58.think there has been a perception that social workers are not doing

:11:58. > :12:04.enough. It is frustrating to listen to that and hear that. Staff and

:12:04. > :12:10.myself and my team are going above and beyond I think what the public

:12:10. > :12:17.would expect us to do. We are following young people, we are

:12:17. > :12:22.following buses, we are following cars. We are going to train

:12:22. > :12:29.stations. We stop young people getting on trains, yes. What is the

:12:29. > :12:35.reaction? They are quite frustrated sometimes because they feel that we

:12:35. > :12:39.are being overprotective. They think they can handle situations they are

:12:39. > :12:44.in, but that is not always the case. How do you see the situation

:12:44. > :12:50.moving forward? What progress can be made? I think we need to continue

:12:50. > :12:54.doing what we are doing. We need to gather information that can be

:12:54. > :13:03.passed to the police and we need to bring these people to justice.

:13:03. > :13:06.A Rector based in St Augustine's in Londonderry has been appointed as

:13:06. > :13:09.the Anglican Church's first woman bishop in the UK and Ireland. The

:13:09. > :13:13.Reverend Pat Storey was elected by the Church of Ireland as Bishop of

:13:13. > :13:20.Meath and Kildare, in the Republic. I think it is very inclusive stop it

:13:20. > :13:25.is another place for women's are equal -- women are equal and I have

:13:25. > :13:29.always been treated equally. This message is saying that if you have

:13:29. > :13:36.the guts to step up but sometimes things can happen that you never

:13:36. > :13:39.expect. A dispute over locked classrooms at

:13:39. > :13:42.a school in north Belfast has been settled. 14 classrooms at Hazelwood

:13:42. > :13:45.Integrated College, were padlocked in a row over the school's lease for

:13:45. > :13:48.the land. But after negotiations with the Belfast Education Board and

:13:48. > :13:52.the Department of Education today the rooms are being unlocked. In a

:13:52. > :13:54.statement, the school said the matter had been brought to a

:13:54. > :13:58."satisfactory conclusion". A couple of things need to be done before

:13:58. > :14:01.classes start in the units on the 30th of September.

:14:01. > :14:04.The search for a missing Polish man who fell off the rocks in Portush

:14:04. > :14:07.last Saturday has resumed this morning. Jaroslaw Andrykiewicz had

:14:07. > :14:10.been fishing with friends at Ramore Head when he fell into the sea. The

:14:10. > :14:14.search for his body was suspended last weekend due to the weather. His

:14:14. > :14:24.mother and brother have arrived in Northern Ireland.

:14:24. > :14:27.The Lord Mayor of Belfast Mairtin O'Muilleoir is supporting a request

:14:27. > :14:31.by the Royal British Legion to light up the City Hall in red. It will

:14:32. > :14:35.happen on the 24th of October to mark the launch of the annual Poppy

:14:35. > :14:40.Appeal. The Sinn Fein Mayor says it is all about respecting people's

:14:40. > :14:45.right to remembrance. I was pleased to support but an Sinn Fein was

:14:45. > :14:51.pleased to support it. It will happen. It is a small gesture of

:14:51. > :14:56.reconciliation during a tough time for the city. We can hopefully unite

:14:56. > :15:02.around remembering the dead from the First World War.

:15:02. > :15:07.You are watching BBC Newsline and Mark Simpson is out and about in

:15:07. > :15:12.Belfast. It is culture night in Belfast tonight. It is in full

:15:13. > :15:20.swing. It is Belfast, but not as we know what. I will have much more

:15:20. > :15:23.later in the programme. More human remains have been

:15:23. > :15:26.unearthed by archaeologists during a dig in Londonderry. 13 skeletons

:15:26. > :15:29.have now been uncovered by a team excavating Bishop Street car park

:15:29. > :15:33.near St Augustine's Church. The remains are thought to date back to

:15:33. > :15:42.time of the siege of of the city. Our North-West reporter, Keiron

:15:42. > :15:46.Tourish, has the latest details. It has been an exciting week for the

:15:46. > :15:49.team involved here at the dig. Doctor Emily Marie from Queens

:15:49. > :15:56.University has seen significant developments. Yes, we have uncovered

:15:56. > :16:04.13 burials and we have excavated seven. What have you found? Mostly

:16:04. > :16:07.adults, we have one that is laid out the way with its head facing east,

:16:07. > :16:13.so we think that is a clergyman, possibly a bishop. We have a male

:16:13. > :16:18.and female in a double burial, that is possibly a man and wife. All of

:16:18. > :16:23.the skeletons will be taken away for further examination and reinforces

:16:23. > :16:28.the view that this area should be protected some more excavations can

:16:28. > :16:31.be carried out. It's Mayo against Dublin in the

:16:31. > :16:37.All-Ireland final, but there is still an Ulster team involved on

:16:37. > :16:44.Sunday. Mark is here with more. This talented Tyrone minor squad follow

:16:44. > :16:52.-- carry the hopes of the province. They will -- no side bar to has won

:16:52. > :17:02.more than one All-Ireland minor title. The red hands are chasing

:17:02. > :17:06.their first trophy since 2001. The first team ever from County Tyrone

:17:06. > :17:11.to become All-Ireland champions. It can then holds the trophy. Bay

:17:11. > :17:16.Bridge the pinnacle of their sport. But many believed that the basis for

:17:16. > :17:22.that first ever All-Ireland crown was a minor title five years

:17:22. > :17:26.earlier. The 1998 winning side was managed by Mickey Harte and included

:17:26. > :17:34.future starters like Stephen O'Neill, Dominic Mulligan and

:17:34. > :17:40.quiet-mac and Alan. Tyrone have gone on to lift another former title

:17:40. > :17:44.since then. We tried to do a number of things which -- with sports

:17:44. > :17:48.psychologists and work through a number of scenarios. Dealing with

:17:48. > :17:55.the crowd is one thing we try to relate to. 17 and 18-year-old boys

:17:55. > :17:58.get a lot of hassle about the way they carry on but these boys have

:17:58. > :18:06.shown themselves and carried themselves very well. Children have

:18:06. > :18:10.not had it all their own way. They lost in the Ulster final two

:18:10. > :18:14.Monaghan, aside that was knocked out of the competition by this

:18:14. > :18:19.weekend's opponents. It is a massive challenge. We watched them against

:18:19. > :18:24.Monaghan and they annihilated them. It was brilliant. We are confident

:18:24. > :18:30.we can put it up to them, definitely. It is a big part of the

:18:30. > :18:34.calendar and it is unreal. It has not sunk in yet. These players are

:18:34. > :18:41.determined to make a name for themselves on the big stage this

:18:41. > :18:53.Sunday. The game will be live on BBC Radio Ulster.

:18:53. > :18:56.Ulster Head Coach, Mark Anscombe, has made three changes to the team

:18:56. > :18:59.that lost narrowly to Glasgow Warriors for tomorrow provincial

:18:59. > :19:02.derby away to Connacht. Tom Court, Iain Henderson and Chris Henry are

:19:03. > :19:06.the men stepping up in the pack. And, after two defeats in two, the

:19:06. > :19:09.pressure's on, just a little. The smash and grab victory one week ago

:19:09. > :19:11.left a sour taste in the mouth. A series of missed chances gave the

:19:11. > :19:14.coaching staff plenty to ponder about going into this match this

:19:14. > :19:18.weekend, it is a clean slate. The players know that they work

:19:18. > :19:19.incredibly hard and they are great bunch of players. You cannot

:19:19. > :19:24.incredibly hard and they are great underestimate how difficult that is

:19:24. > :19:31.against a side like as gold to manufacture chances. It is done now.

:19:31. > :19:35.We look back and we did not think we created a lot of chances. The

:19:35. > :19:39.performance against Glasgow was better. The boys were disappointed

:19:39. > :19:43.but they have been hugely positive this week and they know they have

:19:43. > :19:51.got to get the fine details right. If we do that this weekend, we will

:19:51. > :19:55.win. It came together a way to convert last season. Ulster ran in

:19:55. > :20:03.five tries and a comprehensive bonus point, but the game tomorrow is set

:20:03. > :20:08.in a different context. They are never a nice team to play. It makes

:20:08. > :20:14.things more horrible. They will smell blood. But it will make for a

:20:14. > :20:23.great game. It would be a tough game. If they do not win, things

:20:23. > :20:32.will begin to creep just a little. The game is live on BBC Two

:20:32. > :20:37.television. This season has seen one of the most competitive starts to

:20:37. > :20:40.the Irish league. The Navan are now one point adrift of the leaders and

:20:40. > :20:44.the Irish league. The Navan are now champions Cliftonville. Here is Nile

:20:44. > :20:51.Foster on the revival of the Lurgan blues. Dear Navan have been making

:20:51. > :20:58.strides up the Irish Premiership table. There is something a little

:20:58. > :21:01.different about this group of players. The one thing we need to

:21:01. > :21:07.different about this group of improve on, the back four, a great

:21:07. > :21:09.game. We conceded a lot of chances. The work we do now gets is focused.

:21:09. > :21:11.game. We conceded a lot of chances. They have lost just one game and

:21:11. > :21:14.next month there will be an They have lost just one game and

:21:14. > :21:19.indication of how well much progress They have lost just one game and

:21:19. > :21:26.has been defined. We will evaluate ourselves over the next four games

:21:26. > :21:30.and see what happens. We take no point out of the eight games. At

:21:30. > :21:38.home against Cliftonville we would be in. Against Crusaders we were

:21:38. > :21:42.beaten. Both games away to Linfield and Portadown we were beaten. We are

:21:42. > :21:53.looking for improvements of any sort. The relationship between the

:21:53. > :22:00.coach and the only player manager in the league seems to be working. Gary

:22:00. > :22:05.believes in as a backroom team and he keeps a blank canvas. It took a

:22:05. > :22:11.period of time to get a manner of working. But we are in a good place.

:22:11. > :22:20.Straightaway, yes, one, two, start, we have to build. We are on track

:22:20. > :22:25.now and we know the characters and strength and weaknesses of everyone.

:22:25. > :22:31.Next up to face the tactics of the opposition or Lenten Pool tomorrow.

:22:31. > :22:37.We will bring you the goals and action tomorrow.

:22:37. > :22:40.Finally, the Belfast Giants have their first big test of the season

:22:40. > :22:43.tonight at the Odyssey. They're up against the unbeaten League leaders,

:22:43. > :22:47.the Dundee Stars. Fees office at 7pm.

:22:47. > :22:50.It's Culture Night tonight in towns 7pm.

:22:50. > :22:53.and cities across Northern Ireland. Armagh, Londonderry, Strabane and

:22:53. > :22:56.Holywood are among the places staging open-air cultural events.

:22:56. > :23:01.But the largest will be in Belfast, with organisers expecting more than

:23:01. > :23:08.30,000 people. Mark Simpson is in the city centre. I think there are

:23:08. > :23:12.about 10,000 people here already. How fast is buzzing this evening and

:23:12. > :23:16.let's be honest, it has been a difficult year. The city needs a

:23:16. > :23:19.good evening and they are getting at. People from all over are coming

:23:19. > :23:26.into the city centre but what are they going to get? We can speak to

:23:26. > :23:36.one of the organisers Adam. What have you got planned? There is over

:23:36. > :23:46.263 events in six hours. There is probably more than 303 events. It is

:23:46. > :23:51.a big street party. We are trying to get the ball to engage with arts and

:23:51. > :23:56.culture, but we are doing it in a nice, friendly, successful way. We

:23:56. > :24:00.culture, but we are doing it in a are having different levels of

:24:00. > :24:04.culture. People are here from all different backgrounds and religion

:24:04. > :24:08.and ethnicity. That is why it is one of the best nights in the city

:24:08. > :24:16.because everyone enjoys having this really great mix. Belfast must learn

:24:16. > :24:21.to love itself a little. Belfast learns to love itself and love food

:24:21. > :24:30.as well. There is free food on offer. We have 65 suppliers giving

:24:30. > :24:34.ranges of food and it is free to everyone that comes into the city.

:24:34. > :24:39.We have a pet farm for children and we have brought climbing or the

:24:39. > :24:45.slightly older children. We have lots of music and arts and

:24:45. > :24:46.entertainment. I will jiggle and downs. Another question to you Adam.

:24:46. > :24:52.Will it really help the city? Will downs. Another question to you Adam.

:24:52. > :24:59.it make a difference? Use it at home and turn on the radio. You hear all

:24:59. > :25:03.the bad stuff happening in your city. This is where people come out.

:25:03. > :25:11.They are going to come around and see what the city has to offer.

:25:11. > :25:18.Adam, I will let you have a dance, but I will not dance with you. It is

:25:18. > :25:23.a big night all across Northern Ireland and I am assured it will

:25:23. > :25:30.stay dry. Thank you. Time for a weather

:25:30. > :25:37.update. Are we going to get a nice weekend?

:25:37. > :25:44.I think we might. I feel like I should have my running shoes with

:25:44. > :25:49.me. The marathon will get underway on Sunday and I will have the race

:25:49. > :25:53.details but first of all, we have a lovely weekend to look forward to.

:25:53. > :25:58.Today it has been lovely. That continues into this evening. Later

:25:58. > :26:03.on tonight there is some cloud coming in and that means overnight,

:26:03. > :26:07.temperatures will be slightly warmer than we have experienced recently.

:26:07. > :26:12.Tomorrow promises to be another nice day. At least it promises to be a

:26:12. > :26:18.nice afternoon because in the morning, there is the chance of some

:26:18. > :26:22.drizzly rain. The showers are not going to amount to very much I

:26:22. > :26:25.think, but there will be some mist throughout the early part of the

:26:25. > :26:31.day. As the mist clears away, the temperatures start to rise and they

:26:31. > :26:38.will head around 19 degrees. But this time of year that is great. --

:26:38. > :26:42.hit around. Saturday will be a very nice day and what is driving our

:26:42. > :26:49.weather is this system, which sucks in the warm and moist air. Sunday

:26:49. > :26:55.will be another good day. I will just be a little bit of drizzle

:26:55. > :27:03.around early on -- there will just be. When the marathon gets underway

:27:03. > :27:12.at nine o'clock it may be rather warm for distance running. The high

:27:12. > :27:15.pressure is in charge over the next few days across the United Kingdom

:27:15. > :27:22.and Ireland. That will give a settled quality to the weather.

:27:22. > :27:30.Whether you are getting out there or whether you are just relaxing have a

:27:30. > :27:34.lovely weekend. Some decent temperatures to look forward to. Go

:27:34. > :27:36.and enjoy it. Thanks for watching BBC Newsline.
