:00:16. > :00:22.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline. No peace centre at the

:00:22. > :00:24.Maze. So no economic development there, either. Martin McGuinness

:00:24. > :00:31.spells out Sinn Fein's bottom line there, either. Martin McGuinness

:00:31. > :00:35.on the former jail site. No change to GCSEs and A levels here after a

:00:35. > :00:40.review finds there's no case to replace them. A relative of an

:00:40. > :00:42.elderly man who had more than £100,000 stolen by his carer speaks

:00:42. > :00:50.elderly man who had more than out after her guilty plea. I would

:00:50. > :00:53.elderly man who had more than have been a regular visitor and I

:00:53. > :00:54.never had any reason to suspect this have been a regular visitor and I

:00:55. > :00:58.was going on. There's criticism of have been a regular visitor and I

:00:58. > :01:01.an Orange Order offer to talk to Ardoyne residents if it gets to

:01:01. > :01:06.complete its march there this weekend.

:01:06. > :01:14.at Ravenhill. But why did their mascot, Sparky, get so excited? We

:01:14. > :01:18.reveal who was inside the bear suit. And after a lovely weekend for many,

:01:18. > :01:26.we are more or less back to normal as we start the month of October,

:01:26. > :01:34.with rain on the way. First to the latest in the row over the future of

:01:34. > :01:37.the Maze Long Kesh site. The Deputy First Minister, Martin McGuinness,

:01:37. > :01:40.says there can be no further development there unless the deal

:01:40. > :01:43.that had been reached to build a peace centre is honoured. Mr

:01:43. > :01:46.McGuinness said that while the Balmoral Show can go ahead next

:01:47. > :01:51.year, any future plans will depend on the peace centre deal. Last

:01:51. > :01:55.month, the First Minister withdrew his party's support for the centre,

:01:55. > :02:06.saying it could not go ahead without consensus. Mark Devenport is at

:02:06. > :02:09.Stormont. Mr McGuinness, is he saying that nothing can happen

:02:09. > :02:14.unless everything is agreed? That is it. Martin McGuinness faced

:02:14. > :02:17.unless everything is agreed? That is questions in the Assembly this

:02:17. > :02:22.afternoon and he spelt out in public what Sinn Fein has been saying for

:02:22. > :02:26.quite some time, but development at the Maze site is frozen and Mr

:02:26. > :02:31.McGuinness described the campaign to stop this Peace Centre as deplorable

:02:31. > :02:32.and said he was deeply saddened that the agreement that Sinn Fein had

:02:32. > :02:37.and said he was deeply saddened that with the DUP was not being honoured.

:02:37. > :02:42.He did raise the agricultural Society for their work in hosting

:02:42. > :02:48.their show on the site earlier this year but he did add, these are

:02:48. > :02:55.important riders. The decision to withdraw support, it has now

:02:55. > :03:01.jeopardised the future of the site as a whole. And I am also content

:03:01. > :03:08.that the Balmoral show continues next year. However, the anticipated

:03:08. > :03:10.development of the site can only proceed on the basis of the

:03:10. > :03:12.honouring of the commitments that were made and the role of the

:03:12. > :03:21.honouring of the commitments that development corporation. And no

:03:21. > :03:28.further developments took place until this was satisfied. What are

:03:28. > :03:31.the applications? As Martin McGuinness said, being interrupted

:03:31. > :03:33.there, it does look like the show could still stay on the road for

:03:33. > :03:38.next year but we know that the Royal could still stay on the road for

:03:38. > :03:43.Ulster Agricultural Society is looking to sign a longer term

:03:43. > :03:45.agreement with the board and in a sense, they spent £2.5 million

:03:45. > :03:50.agreement with the board and in a already on that side, unsecured on

:03:50. > :03:56.till they do that, so that is a major headache for them. What is the

:03:56. > :03:58.position of the board? They had a meeting and released a statement

:03:59. > :04:01.saying it would be inappropriate for them to comment on a confidential

:04:01. > :04:03.discussions with the First and them to comment on a confidential

:04:03. > :04:09.Deputy First Ministers but that statement says that key decisions

:04:09. > :04:10.regarding this site are taken by the First and Deputy First Ministers and

:04:10. > :04:13.that the board will do its best to First and Deputy First Ministers and

:04:13. > :04:16.continue to secure regeneration for this site but it is hard to say how

:04:16. > :04:20.they can fulfil their basic function, given what Martin

:04:20. > :04:24.McGuinness has said. Thank you. Next to education and the future of A

:04:24. > :04:27.levels and GCSEs. The Education Minister at Stormont, John O'Dowd,

:04:27. > :04:29.had commissioned a major review of the exams after changes were

:04:29. > :04:40.announced by his equivalent in England, Michael Gove. Today, the

:04:40. > :04:44.findings of that review were unveiled and it says there is no

:04:44. > :04:47.case for changing exams here in the near future. David Maxwell has this

:04:47. > :04:50.report. The review published today recommended evolution rather than

:04:50. > :04:54.revolution when it comes to our exams system. It was prompted by

:04:54. > :05:02.changes in England which will be phased in from autumn 2015. There,

:05:02. > :05:06.GCSE and A-level students will sit all examinations at the end of the

:05:06. > :05:08.two year course. But the local exams board, CCEA, who conducted the

:05:08. > :05:13.review, don't believe we should follow Michael Gove's direction and

:05:13. > :05:19.the Education Minister here agrees. We have consulted in preparation of

:05:19. > :05:24.this report and people say, letters examined the change but letters

:05:24. > :05:28.examined that carefully and make sure it is based on research and

:05:28. > :05:31.that we end up with a system we can be proud of and can transport across

:05:31. > :05:35.the world. So what does the review recommend? It says GCSEs and

:05:35. > :05:37.A-levels should be retained but there'll be discussions about

:05:37. > :05:42.possible name changes. It proposes a mixture of testing both during and

:05:42. > :05:45.at the end of courses. But the review says students should only

:05:45. > :05:52.have one opportunity to re-sit exams Internal assessments such as

:05:52. > :05:54.coursework will also stay. So while the overall structure remains the

:05:54. > :05:57.coursework will also stay. So while same, what could change? The review

:05:57. > :06:02.says consideration should be given to combining GCSE English and

:06:02. > :06:05.English language. A new GCSE mathematics exam should be

:06:05. > :06:10.considered and a more specialised IT qualification. At A-level, students

:06:10. > :06:15.will only be able to do re-sits in June. The review also recommends

:06:15. > :06:17.developing a new exams system in the longer term and potentially

:06:17. > :06:24.scrapping GCSEs further down the line. But reforms elsewhere mean the

:06:24. > :06:33.exams system is going to become much more fragmented within the UK and

:06:33. > :06:39.that's raised some concerns. We need to be absolutely sure that nothing

:06:39. > :06:43.is done that damages or limits the portability and transfer potential

:06:43. > :06:46.of exams in Northern Ireland when young people sick access to

:06:46. > :06:49.universities in other jurisdictions. But John O'Dowd says qualifications

:06:49. > :06:52.here will still carry equal weight. The review now goes out to

:06:52. > :06:58.consultation but it's already been broadly welcomed by schools. I

:06:58. > :07:02.welcome the fact that he believes that one size does not fit all. I

:07:03. > :07:09.strongly believe that Northern Ireland is very separate and should

:07:09. > :07:12.remain so and therefore, our pupils are good and our examination results

:07:12. > :07:16.are the best in the UK. What the Minister has put forward is

:07:16. > :07:20.something that allows the system to be adjusted rather than the radical

:07:20. > :07:25.change that Michael Gove has proposed. The idea of coursework is

:07:25. > :07:29.important and that allows students to develop a range of skills they

:07:29. > :07:32.don't learn from exams. The review published today has been described

:07:32. > :07:35.as cautious. It requires no immediate upheaval but it does call

:07:35. > :07:38.for a longer term review of GCSEs and A-levels and points to more

:07:38. > :07:48.substantial changes in five to yen years. -- ten years. A woman who was

:07:48. > :07:53.supposed to be caring for an elderly man was in fact stealing from him. A

:07:53. > :07:56.Bangor woman has pleaded guilty to taking more than £100,000 from Cecil

:07:56. > :08:03.McAllister, who was also known as Jock. He was 91 years old when the

:08:03. > :08:12.theft began. He has now passed away. Barra Best was at Downpatrick Crown

:08:12. > :08:17.Court. This is 56-year-old Leslie Dorothy Helen Boyd. She was charged

:08:17. > :08:22.with six points of fraud and one of theft. The fraud charges relate to

:08:22. > :08:28.the writing of six bank cheques worth more than £61,000. They were

:08:28. > :08:33.drawn from the dagger account of Cecil McAllister in 2009 and 2010.

:08:33. > :08:39.The largest was worth £50,000. The smallest £100. Boyd, from

:08:39. > :08:44.Chippendale Avenue in Bangor, was also charged with stealing a further

:08:44. > :08:47.£44,000 belonging to Mr McAllister. This morning, a jury was sworn in

:08:47. > :08:51.for the start of the trial but before the case that under way, Boyd

:08:51. > :08:55.was made legal team indicated there would be a change of plea. Leslie

:08:55. > :09:00.Boyd was originally set to contest the charges but cheaply the guilty

:09:00. > :09:03.when all seven were put to her during a brief appearance in court.

:09:03. > :09:07.She is due back here in December for sentencing. Before she left the

:09:07. > :09:11.court, the judge told her she should think hard about the kind and

:09:11. > :09:16.details she gives about what happened because that might

:09:16. > :09:19.influence her sentence. I would urge people listening to this or

:09:19. > :09:24.following the story to sit down as a family with vulnerable members and

:09:24. > :09:29.have this discussion, could this happen? I firmly believe that if it

:09:29. > :09:34.happened here, it could happen to anybody. There's the boy decide on

:09:34. > :09:42.bail until she has to appear for sentencing in December. -- Leslie

:09:42. > :09:45.Boyd. Stay with us. Coming up: Could a Government-backed scheme give the

:09:45. > :09:51.housing market the extra boost it needs? A nationalist residents group

:09:51. > :09:54.in North Belfast says it would be insane for the Parades Commission to

:09:54. > :09:57.allow the Orange Order to march past Ardoyne shops this Saturday. The

:09:57. > :09:59.proposal by the Order is to complete the contentious march that was

:09:59. > :10:13.proposal by the Order is to complete restricted by the Commission on 12th

:10:13. > :10:16.of July. Vincent Kearney reports. 44 police officers were injured during

:10:16. > :10:18.three nights of rioting after an Orange Order parade was stopped in

:10:18. > :10:21.three nights of rioting after an North Belfast on the 12th of July.

:10:21. > :10:25.Since then, a protest camp has operated at Twaddell Avenue - just

:10:25. > :10:36.yards from the section of road the parade was banned from. The Orange

:10:36. > :10:39.Order today invited the media to a press conference to announce its

:10:39. > :10:43.proposal for a parade this Saturday morning, and then talks about next

:10:43. > :10:46.year. News crews turned up - but the Order didn't. Reporters and camera

:10:46. > :10:49.crews were told that various partner groups associated with what's

:10:49. > :10:52.described as the civil rights camp would be be available for interview

:10:52. > :10:55.on the latest move by the Order. Those present included political

:10:55. > :10:58.parties linked to the UVF and the UDA, along with city councillors

:10:58. > :11:06.from the Ulster unionists and the DUP. It was left to them to spell

:11:06. > :11:11.out the Order's position. We will apply to complete our parade at 9am

:11:11. > :11:15.on Saturday the 5th of October, and the parade will consist of the three

:11:15. > :11:20.lodges and to bands that were banned from the club and road by the

:11:20. > :11:25.Parades Commission. -- Crumlin Road. We are open to dialogue with the

:11:25. > :11:31.residents for the 2014 parades that can commence immediately after our

:11:31. > :11:33.return to the Orange Hall. No one is here from the Orange Order to answer

:11:33. > :11:37.return to the Orange Hall. No one is questions about what the Orange

:11:37. > :11:43.Order itself says. Is that acceptable? I am glad you asked me

:11:43. > :11:48.that. Mervyn Gibson sent the text minutes before he arrived to say he

:11:48. > :11:53.had an urgent family member -- family matter to attend to. He would

:11:53. > :11:56.have a very reasonable reason. A spokesman for a nationalist

:11:56. > :12:00.residents' group in Ardoyne said there must be talking before

:12:00. > :12:04.walking. I think it would be insane for the Parades Commission to

:12:04. > :12:07.overturn their original determination and that would

:12:07. > :12:13.constitute a rational decision-making and I would say, do

:12:13. > :12:16.not capitulate to loyalist violence. Intimidation and lawbreaking.

:12:16. > :12:19.not capitulate to loyalist violence. Because that is what happens here on

:12:19. > :12:23.a nightly basis. But the Orange Order says its offer of a morning

:12:23. > :12:28.parade is a significant. -- is significant. Sources say that many

:12:28. > :12:34.in their community oppose this move. They want return parade to take less

:12:34. > :12:39.at the traditional time of 7pm. Not at 9am. The Parades Commission will

:12:39. > :12:42.meet tomorrow to discuss the application for a parade this

:12:42. > :12:47.Saturday. The Reverend Mervyn Gibson from the Orange Order joins me. I

:12:47. > :12:52.Saturday. The Reverend Mervyn Gibson was no one from the Orange Order

:12:52. > :12:57.represented at that news conference? Several people were or injure men.

:12:57. > :13:01.They did not represent the Orange Order to ring the news conference? I

:13:01. > :13:08.had a personal commitment but I am here now. Does that mean you are on

:13:08. > :13:11.your own in this? Not at all. The camp showed that everybody from

:13:11. > :13:18.Orange family was there. From all of camp showed that everybody from

:13:18. > :13:21.those community group. You see this proposal for Saturday is a step

:13:21. > :13:25.forward, something very positive? What would you say to residents that

:13:25. > :13:30.say that giving permission would be giving in to intimidation and

:13:30. > :13:36.violence? I do not know where that has come from. You have not seen the

:13:36. > :13:41.pictures? ! Has not in any violence. I would challenge you to

:13:41. > :13:45.show us any photographs after the 12th of July. There has been

:13:45. > :13:48.peaceful protest and I have seen no violence. You don't think this will

:13:48. > :13:53.given to the violence that happened? All of those people

:13:53. > :13:59.injured, including many police? What happened then was because of the

:13:59. > :14:04.Parades Commission giving in to the violence of republicans last year.

:14:04. > :14:08.It showed that violence paid. Many in the unionist family did not think

:14:08. > :14:12.that and we can't dine and we had a very peaceful protest. You say that

:14:12. > :14:15.if this parade goes ahead on Saturday, you will engage in talks?

:14:15. > :14:19.You were engaged in talks before the Saturday, you will engage in talks?

:14:19. > :14:24.12th of July. The residents association told us they are ready

:14:24. > :14:28.to start tomorrow. Why such a delay? We are also ready to start but we

:14:28. > :14:34.want to get this matter sorted out. We want this impasse broken. We want

:14:34. > :14:36.to deal with what happened and finish that parade and we have

:14:36. > :14:40.applied for permission at 9am on Saturday morning and we believe that

:14:40. > :14:45.is economise and once that takes place, we will enter into talks for

:14:45. > :14:48.next. If that is not granted, would you accept that? We might not like

:14:48. > :14:51.next. If that is not granted, would it but we will protest against that

:14:51. > :14:57.but we have to accept the decision. Andy talks will start, regardless?

:14:57. > :15:00.No, the talks will start if the parade goes home and if the brethren

:15:00. > :15:03.No, the talks will start if the we turn home, then the talks will

:15:03. > :15:09.start on Monday. 40 weeks of talks on the table. Pity. -- thank you.

:15:09. > :15:13.start on Monday. 40 weeks of talks The trial of a brother of the former

:15:13. > :15:16.west Belfast MP Gerry Adams has been listening to the closing statements

:15:16. > :15:18.of both the prosecution and defence. 58-year-old Liam Adams from Bernagh

:15:19. > :15:22.Drive in Belfast denies ten charges of raping and indecently assaulting

:15:22. > :15:32.his daughter more than 30 years ago. Will Leitch reports.

:15:32. > :15:37.Liam Adams was in court to hear prosecution and defence counsel some

:15:37. > :15:42.of the evidence against him. Speaking to the jury, a prosecution

:15:42. > :15:48.barrister said Aine detailed evidence against her father. We

:15:48. > :15:52.suggest, he said, the detail is king in this case and when you look at

:15:52. > :16:06.the detail, you could not make it up. He told the jury:

:16:06. > :16:13.But in making her closing speech, a defence barrister said it was one

:16:13. > :16:16.person's word against another and she questioned the truthfulness of

:16:16. > :16:34.Aine Adams. She said: The jury of nine men and three women

:16:34. > :16:36.have been hearing evidence in this case for over two weeks. This

:16:36. > :16:39.afternoon they took direction from case for over two weeks. This

:16:39. > :16:47.the judge in how properly to deal with it. Tomorrow they retired to

:16:47. > :16:50.consider their verdicts. The local banks say they need more

:16:51. > :16:53.information before deciding if they'll take part in a Westminster

:16:53. > :16:57.backed scheme for house-hunters, which could allow for 95% mortgages.

:16:57. > :17:00.The Help to Buy scheme is supposed to start next week. Our Economics

:17:00. > :17:08.and Business Editor John Campbell has more details.

:17:08. > :17:13.The local housing market is just about getting off the floor after a

:17:13. > :17:19.huge and ruinous crash. The Help To Buy scheme could give it a further

:17:19. > :17:22.boost. The scheme is being run by the Westminster government and

:17:22. > :17:30.applies across the UK. It will mean you can buy a house costing up to

:17:30. > :17:35.£600,000 with a deposit of as little as 5%. The deposit is so low because

:17:35. > :17:42.of the loan goes bad, the government will cover the first 15% of the

:17:42. > :17:48.bank's losses. Unsurprisingly, estate agents are enthusiastic.

:17:48. > :17:54.Prices are hopefully turning so if there is an opportunity like this,

:17:54. > :17:58.there will be more sales. This buyer said the scheme would have made

:17:58. > :18:01.things easier for him. We had to start saving which meant we would

:18:01. > :18:12.things easier for him. We had to not have spent more money. It was

:18:12. > :18:16.tough. But there is still a big unanswered question over which

:18:16. > :18:24.lenders will take part in the scheme. Ulster bank's parent company

:18:24. > :18:28.RBS is on board. But like all local banks, it wants more information

:18:29. > :18:33.before committing. At a stroke this scheme with increased demand in the

:18:33. > :18:38.market. People who thought they would have to wait years for a

:18:38. > :18:44.deposit will be able to buy straightaway. But supply will take

:18:44. > :18:50.time to catch up which sounds like a recipe for rising prices. It will

:18:50. > :18:55.probably lead to a bit of a rise in house prices. The local economy is

:18:55. > :18:59.still scarred by a housing market that got out of control. The

:18:59. > :19:01.government insists this scheme will be regulated to prevent a new bubble

:19:01. > :19:07.emerging. be regulated to prevent a new bubble

:19:07. > :19:10.Joey Dunlop was our last motorcycling World Champion, but

:19:10. > :19:13.could we be celebrating another one soon? Stephen Watson can tell us.

:19:13. > :19:17.The late Joey Dunlop was World Champion an incredible five times in

:19:17. > :19:21.the 1980's. More than 25 years on, Eugene Laverty could be following in

:19:21. > :19:24.his footsteps. With just two more rounds left, the Toomebridge rider

:19:24. > :19:25.has put himself right into contention to win the World

:19:25. > :19:29.Superbike championship. He had two contention to win the World

:19:29. > :19:33.podiums finishes, including victory in Race Two, at Laguna Seca in

:19:33. > :19:44.America last night. Thomas Niblock reports.

:19:44. > :19:55.When Eugene Laverty hit the front in the Californian heat, he was made to

:19:55. > :19:58.work hard all the way to the finish line but held on to a precious lead

:19:58. > :20:04.and vital points in the championship title race. With his earlier third

:20:04. > :20:19.place in race one, he is now a title contender. It was one of the best

:20:19. > :20:26.races in my life. I had to work so hard in the last few laps but thanks

:20:26. > :20:30.to my team, we made a step today. With two more rounds and another 100

:20:30. > :20:38.points still available, Eugene Laverty is up to second place, only

:20:38. > :20:43.23 points behind the leader. I really was not sure if I could do

:20:43. > :20:45.that today. The package wasn't quite there. We did not have the grip

:20:45. > :20:53.that today. The package wasn't quite today but it shows the power of the

:20:53. > :20:56.will to win. The championship now moves to France next weekend before

:20:56. > :21:02.the final round in Spain a fortnight later.

:21:02. > :21:05.Ulster's rugby players moved up to fifth in the Pro12 table after a

:21:05. > :21:09.fine win over Italian side Treviso at the weekend. Ulster scored five

:21:09. > :21:11.tries at Ravenhill to secure an excellent bonus point victory. Lion

:21:11. > :21:15.Tommy Bowe celebrated his return from injury with this try. Watch

:21:15. > :21:18.Sparky the mascot closely. You may wonder why, in particular, his

:21:18. > :21:21.celebrations were quite so exuberant. That's because it wasn't

:21:21. > :21:26.celebrations were quite so Sparky in the bear suit. It was the

:21:26. > :21:39.man who's joined me in the studio tonight - winger Andrew Trimble.

:21:39. > :21:44.Why? I have no idea. It was a childish ambition of mine so I

:21:44. > :21:49.thought it was a great opportunity. I assume as we take a look at your

:21:49. > :21:56.celebration, you are now fully fit from injury and back for a return? I

:21:56. > :22:03.did a bit of homework and watched Sparky in the first half and thought

:22:03. > :22:08.I could do this. I lost all composure when Tommy scored the try.

:22:08. > :22:14.Tommy knew it was me but he must have forgotten because he gave me

:22:14. > :22:20.the cold shoulder. An excellent Ulster performance. The young guns

:22:20. > :22:26.are going really well. There is great competition for places at the

:22:26. > :22:31.moment. It is great to see. Ulster is going from strength to strength.

:22:31. > :22:36.moment. It is great to see. Ulster Young guys playing well, it is a

:22:36. > :22:41.great place to be at the minute. The last couple of weeks have not been

:22:41. > :22:47.so much fun for myself, but I am looking forward to getting back

:22:47. > :22:56.involved. A disappointing start to the season. Worthy players worried

:22:56. > :23:01.at all? It does not take long, two losses and it is all doom and gloom

:23:01. > :23:07.but now a couple of wins, we are fifth in the table. You are fit for

:23:07. > :23:16.selection so hopefully might see you this week? I am not sure exactly but

:23:16. > :23:20.hopefully in the next week or two. When Sir Alex Ferguson retired as

:23:20. > :23:23.Manchester United boss at the end of last season, that left Ronnie McFall

:23:23. > :23:27.of Portadown as arguably the longest serving football manager in the

:23:27. > :23:30.world. McFall has been in charge at Shamrock Park for almost 27 years.

:23:30. > :23:34.And while Man United may be struggling, Portadown are flying

:23:34. > :23:39.high. Thomas Kane reports. It might be early in the season but

:23:39. > :23:45.Portadown are looking like title challengers. They went 1-0 down

:23:45. > :23:52.against Lenthall at the league's top scorers. Gary Twigg is already in

:23:52. > :23:59.double figures for the campaign. While Peter McMahon popped up with a

:23:59. > :24:05.winner. We are not getting carried away in any shape or form. It is all

:24:05. > :24:10.topsy-turvy and we just have to refocus and keep our feet on the

:24:10. > :24:15.ground. After a stuttering start, Linfield are the league's inform

:24:15. > :24:23.ground. After a stuttering start, team. Peter Thompson's goal made it

:24:23. > :24:26.six wins in a row. We did not make too much of it and being Linfield,

:24:26. > :24:38.things not going to well, too much of it and being Linfield,

:24:38. > :25:00.have stuck together, we have a lot of work to do but we have worked

:25:00. > :25:12.hard. A second victory of the season. Brian Henderson with one of

:25:12. > :25:18.the best goals of the weekend. That is it from me. When children in need

:25:18. > :25:23.the best goals of the weekend. That comes around, we know where to find

:25:23. > :25:33.Pudsey! A friend of mine was planting grassy this weekend and was

:25:33. > :25:37.glad to get some rain. It really has been disappointing

:25:37. > :25:48.today especially given the glorious conditions we But backed down to

:25:48. > :25:52.earth with a bump today. It is looking pretty unsettled. Spells of

:25:52. > :26:00.rain, often windy as well, at least temperatures are close to or above

:26:00. > :26:06.average. We did start off with brightness in the West before that

:26:06. > :26:14.low cloud came piling in. That is shifting the leaves quite quickly

:26:14. > :26:20.off the leaves. An overcast evening, one or two bits and pieces of rain

:26:20. > :26:25.macro. Mainly dry towards the west and the north by through the night,

:26:25. > :26:29.the wind will be picking up, we will have more persistent spells of rain

:26:29. > :26:38.and the potential for it to be heavy. Lows of 11 or 12 degrees.

:26:38. > :26:42.Tomorrow is a cloudy and dull and damp one and still quite windy. The

:26:42. > :26:45.more persistent rain will be during the morning and the risk of Hugh

:26:45. > :26:51.more persistent rain will be during heavy burstss. Could the unpleasant

:26:51. > :26:56.more persistent rain will be during on the roads during rush hour. But

:26:56. > :27:08.the rain should ease off in the afternoon. There will be troops and

:27:08. > :27:13.trips and drives in the afternoon. Temperatures not too bad given the

:27:13. > :27:18.southeasterly breeze, 15 or 16 degrees. Even though the rain eases

:27:18. > :27:23.tomorrow during the afternoon, we could see heavier showers returning

:27:23. > :27:29.through the night. Wednesday is quite windy and quite damp places.

:27:29. > :27:34.As we head into Thursday, for all of us, a weather front moving in to

:27:34. > :27:43.bring heavy and persistent spells of rain. We are back at 10:25pm. You

:27:43. > :27:43.can keep in contact on Facebook and Twitter.
