:00:23. > :00:29.the Sinn Fein president of letting his niece down. The Constable

:00:47. > :00:51.driving a bus lanes? I will have the answer. The South African rugby star
:00:51. > :00:54.Ruan Pienaar commits his future to Ulster - we have an exclusive
:00:54. > :00:56.interview. Join me live for the details. And if you thought it was
:00:56. > :00:59.fresher today, tomorrow could be a details. And if you thought it was
:00:59. > :01:03.real shock to the system. It'll be feeling even colder!
:01:03. > :01:08.We begin with the latest on the controversy surrounding Gerry Adams
:01:08. > :01:24.and the questions that continue to be asked about his role in the case
:01:24. > :01:27.of his brother, Liam. Last week, Liam Adams was convicted of raping
:01:27. > :01:30.and abusing his eldest daughter, Aine. Gerry Adams had testified that
:01:30. > :01:33.his brother confessed to him in the year 2000 but the Sinn Fein
:01:33. > :01:37.President didn't tell the police that for nine years. This afternoon,
:01:37. > :01:40.the Health Minister called for the police's handling of the case to be
:01:40. > :01:45.examined by the Ombudsman. Mark Devenport is at Stormont. The office
:01:45. > :01:52.has confirmed that it has received a complaint. Strong words from the
:01:52. > :01:56.Health Minister. What did he say? Yes, strong words, capturing
:01:57. > :02:01.Question Time this afternoon and first of all, when the issue of
:02:01. > :02:02.child abuse was raised in general he said the should be zero tolerance
:02:02. > :02:07.child abuse was raised in general he towards child abuse and he
:02:07. > :02:12.challenged Sinn Fein politicians and called upon a Catholic cardinal to
:02:12. > :02:16.consider his position to step up to the mark and then he got more
:02:16. > :02:23.specific about the case of Gerry Adams and his brother. On the Adams
:02:23. > :02:30.was let down by the RUC and was let down by her uncle, Gerry Adams. And
:02:30. > :02:33.she was let down by the PSNI. I welcome the fact that there was a
:02:33. > :02:37.she was let down by the PSNI. I conviction in that case and the good
:02:37. > :02:44.work that was carried out. And by the Public Prosecution Service. In
:02:44. > :02:46.bringing Liam Adams to justice. But I do think that when it comes to the
:02:46. > :02:52.bringing Liam Adams to justice. But other issue of the cover-up, the
:02:52. > :02:58.PSNI have got questions to answer. And they need to have those
:02:58. > :03:00.questions answered in a very public way and that is why I believe that
:03:00. > :03:06.the Police Ombudsman needs to look way and that is why I believe that
:03:06. > :03:10.at the work of the PSNI. Gerry Adams accuses his critics of having a
:03:10. > :03:14.political agenda? Yes, he was speaking in Dublin today and was at
:03:14. > :03:19.an event where Sinn Fein were lunching their alternative proposals
:03:19. > :03:23.for an Irish budget but he's faced questions and said that some
:03:23. > :03:26.reaction was contrived and said it was coming from the DUP and some
:03:26. > :03:31.elements in the enough oil and he again said that he had concern -- no
:03:31. > :03:35.elements in the enough oil and he concern about the decision to review
:03:35. > :03:38.this matter. I know that I committed no offence and I did would I
:03:38. > :03:44.consider to be the right thing and I cooperated fully with the PSNI, with
:03:44. > :03:46.the Public Prosecution Service and the court and I gave evidence to the
:03:46. > :03:53.court so I don't have any concerns. the court and I gave evidence to the
:03:53. > :03:56.What is the law on withholding information? Legal sources say that
:03:56. > :03:57.What is the law on withholding in some respects, the law in
:03:57. > :04:04.Northern Ireland is firmer and in some respects, the law in
:04:04. > :04:07.clearer than elsewhere in the UK. There is a 1967 act which says that
:04:07. > :04:11.if somebody has information about a serious offence, they need to pass
:04:11. > :04:14.that within a reasonable time to a serious offence, they need to pass
:04:14. > :04:19.constable and that they don't, they are committing an offence. It will
:04:19. > :04:23.be up to the Attorney General, who says he will take a fortnight to
:04:23. > :04:28.look at the papers and will decide whether whatever happened here falls
:04:28. > :04:34.within that act and whether this was a relevant offence now the weather
:04:34. > :04:35.the evidential decision made previously by the prosecution
:04:35. > :04:48.service was correct. Mark Devenport, previously by the prosecution
:04:48. > :04:52.thank you. Two men who were jailed for the murder of Constable Stephen
:04:52. > :04:53.Carroll in 2009 have begun an appeal against their convictions.
:04:53. > :04:56.41-year-old Brendan McConville from Glenholme Avenue in Craigavon and
:04:56. > :04:59.22-year-old John Paul Wootton from Colindale in Lurgan were found
:04:59. > :05:04.guilty of murder last year. Julie McCullough was in the High Court.
:05:04. > :05:07.These are the men trying to have their convictions overturned.
:05:07. > :05:11.Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton are currently both serving
:05:11. > :05:16.life sentences for the murder of Constable Stephen Carroll, who was
:05:16. > :05:21.shot dead as he responded to a call in this more as an effortless one
:05:21. > :05:26.man in Craigavon four years ago. During the trial, a key prosecution
:05:26. > :05:30.witness claimed he had seen one of the men, Brendan McConville, close
:05:30. > :05:36.to the murder scene on the night of the killing. In the Court of Appeal
:05:36. > :05:38.today, McConville's barrister described the witnesses account of
:05:38. > :05:44.what happened that night as farcical. He told the court that the
:05:44. > :05:48.witness was known within his own family as a Walter Mitty character
:05:48. > :05:52.who had a habit of making up stories. He said the court would
:05:52. > :05:59.hear fresh evidence from a new witness who claimed that witness --
:05:59. > :06:03.the witness claimed in a world that Michael lived in a world of his own.
:06:03. > :06:08.Barry MacDonald QC pointed out what he described as discrepancies in the
:06:08. > :06:13.accounts given only witness to the police almost one year after the
:06:13. > :06:17.murder. He said these should have alerted the police and the trial

:06:27. > :06:32.the appeals and the hearing is due to continue tomorrow. Bomb alerts
:06:32. > :06:35.have caused disruption in north and East Belfast. Several families were
:06:35. > :06:38.moved out of their homes overnight because of a hoax device in the
:06:38. > :06:43.Silverstream Avenue area of Ballysillan. In the east of the
:06:43. > :06:47.city, a controlled explosion was carried out on a suspect device near
:06:47. > :06:52.an Alliance Party office. An army bomb unit used a robot to examine a
:06:52. > :06:57.plastic bag on top of a bin on Grampian Avenue. A section of the
:06:57. > :07:00.Upper Newtownards Road was closed and traffic diverted during the
:07:00. > :07:04.security operation, which lasted more than three hours. Staff were
:07:04. > :07:07.moved out of the Alliance office and other nearby buildings. The package
:07:07. > :07:12.was later declared a hoax. Coleraine Council has been told it was
:07:12. > :07:15.inexcusable for it not to follow safety warnings which could have
:07:15. > :07:19.prevented the death of an employee. A court has been dealing with the
:07:19. > :07:22.case of Alan Devenney, who was crushed by a skip while he was
:07:22. > :07:32.working two years ago. David Maxwell was in Antrim Crown Court for BBC
:07:32. > :07:36.Newsline. The 39-year-old father of two worked for the council for 18
:07:36. > :07:40.years. In July 2011, Alan Devenney died while doing his job here -
:07:40. > :07:44.crushed by a skip which was incorrectly loaded. Last month,
:07:44. > :07:47.Coleraine Borough Council admitted it failed to ensure the safety of
:07:47. > :07:53.employees and the public at this site. In court today, Mr Devenney's
:07:53. > :08:00.wife and family came to hear details of what led to the death. A
:08:00. > :08:03.prosecution lawyer told the court that opportunities were missed and
:08:03. > :08:08.this incident always have the potential to happen. She said it was
:08:08. > :08:11.inexcusable that the risks involved were not identified. The failings
:08:11. > :08:12.included not imposing a safety distance from the skip and no
:08:12. > :08:15.barriers to prevent the public distance from the skip and no
:08:15. > :08:19.gaining access to the area. The court also heard that a circular
:08:19. > :08:22.about a safety adjustment to the skip issued in 2008 was not
:08:22. > :08:25.followed. After expressing sympathy to the family, a defence lawyer
:08:25. > :08:30.informed the court that the council had admitted responsibility at the
:08:30. > :08:33.earliest opportunity. The court was told the required adjustments have
:08:33. > :08:41.been made to all its skips and cameras fitted to improve safety
:08:41. > :08:44.when loading. The judge said it was important that lessons were learned
:08:44. > :08:48.from this case that no council employee meets the same fate. He
:08:48. > :09:00.reserved judgement until Thursday afternoon. Still to come... A new
:09:00. > :09:07.rugby stadium and a new contract for star player Ruan Pienaar. Join me
:09:07. > :09:11.live from Ravenhill to find out why the South African has decided to
:09:11. > :09:17.illegal drugs have been seized by the police over the past year. They
:09:17. > :09:20.say tackling the problem is a priority and that's why they have
:09:20. > :09:27.re-launched an initiative targeting the distribution of drugs on the
:09:27. > :09:29.streets. Operation Torus will have an advertising campaign aimed at
:09:29. > :09:36.encouraging people to report dealing coupled with police action against
:09:36. > :09:41.the dealers. Helen Jones has more. Acting on intelligence, this man is
:09:41. > :09:46.arrested. Substances believed to be cocaine, cannabis resin and herbal
:09:46. > :09:55.cannabis are seized. This is Operation Torus in action. A
:09:55. > :09:58.clamp-down on illegal drugs. Illegal drugs is a priority for the police
:09:58. > :10:01.clamp-down on illegal drugs. Illegal service and we are increasing
:10:01. > :10:05.activity. In the last year there has been £10 million worth of illegal
:10:05. > :10:10.drugs taken off the streets of Northern Ireland and over 2700
:10:10. > :10:15.arrests. They are supplementing that by relaunching Operation Torus,
:10:15. > :10:17.increasing activity in addition to searching, arresting and seizing
:10:17. > :10:20.drugs. It's thought drugs were behind a number of recent
:10:20. > :10:26.unexplained deaths. They're still being investigated by the PSNI, who
:10:26. > :10:30.say there's no link between them. This is intelligence received by the
:10:30. > :10:34.police and what we are doing is acting upon intelligence. This is a
:10:34. > :10:37.planned search of one of three addresses in the Antrim area. Just
:10:37. > :10:41.over 1000 such searches have been carried out across Northern Ireland.
:10:41. > :10:44.And so far they've had some success. The police were keen to put these
:10:44. > :10:53.drugs on public display - £200,000 worth. This is a sample of drugs
:10:53. > :10:59.taken from the streets. We have got Valium, legal highs, cannabis resin
:10:59. > :11:05.and also a particularly potent form of cannabis. Herbal cannabis. Skunk.
:11:05. > :11:08.And the smell would let you out. Operation Torus is designed to
:11:08. > :11:11.tackle drug dealing at a street level. And that's where the campaign
:11:11. > :11:13.is focused - out on the streets. Images like this will be seen on
:11:13. > :11:16.billboards, in bus shelters and in Images like this will be seen on
:11:16. > :11:27.the washrooms of pubs and restaurants. The theft of five life
:11:27. > :11:30.belts from the Peace Bridge in Londonderry has been described as a
:11:30. > :11:34.reckless act which could have endangered lives. A man threw them
:11:34. > :11:40.into the Foyle river in the early hours of Sunday morning. Here's our
:11:40. > :11:43.North West reporter, Keiron Tourish. A patrol by members of foil search

:11:48. > :11:53.Peace Bridge early on Sunday morning that they noticed all five were
:11:53. > :11:57.removed. A man caught on CCTV who was with two other men and a woman
:11:57. > :12:02.had thrown them over the railings into the water. They were left
:12:02. > :12:07.dangling over the side of the bridge before being retrieved by the
:12:07. > :12:11.charity. It has become worrying for us because it seems to be somewhat
:12:11. > :12:18.on the increase. I know there have been several individuals taken
:12:18. > :12:22.through courts for summer acts. -- similar. And the judges have been
:12:22. > :12:28.quite severe. The public has been angered by this. It is hard to get
:12:28. > :12:32.into the mindset who would stoop to that level and I know that drink
:12:32. > :12:37.plays a big part in situations like that. It is crazy because that is
:12:37. > :12:43.life-saving equipment which is needed. Whoever did this is
:12:43. > :12:49.completely irresponsible. They save lives. They are not for taking off
:12:49. > :12:55.and playing with, to be honest. They are there to save lives. They should
:12:55. > :13:02.stay there. A former Mayor said lives were being put at risk. I saw
:13:02. > :13:03.the work that this charity do, fantastic work and their volunteers.
:13:03. > :13:08.the work that this charity do, But they give their time every
:13:08. > :13:12.night, protect thing the people of this city and here we have an
:13:12. > :13:17.individual thinking this is fun and throwing these into the water. This
:13:17. > :13:22.is life-saving equipment and is vital. The man police are trying to
:13:22. > :13:26.trace was tall, thin with cropped hair and wearing a black body
:13:26. > :13:31.warmer. Police will study CCTV footage in an effort to track down
:13:32. > :13:34.the individual. They want anyone who might have information which would
:13:34. > :13:49.help with the enquiry to get in touch. Still to come... Gordon Adair
:13:49. > :13:52.takes us on a trip down memory lane. You might have found one of these
:13:52. > :14:01.tucked away in a glovebox in the 1970s. And illegal CB radio. Copy?
:14:01. > :14:05.You may remember last week we highlighted a plan to crack down on
:14:05. > :14:08.motorists who block key routes such as bus lanes. This evening, BBC
:14:08. > :14:09.Newsline can reveal which Belfast roads are worst affected by drivers
:14:09. > :14:13.who park where they shouldn't. roads are worst affected by drivers
:14:13. > :14:17.Here's Kevin Sharkey. The message is clear. There are around 40 roads
:14:17. > :14:22.around Belfast with bus lanes and clearways like these. Some operate
:14:22. > :14:25.for most of the day, others at peak periods, in the mornings and
:14:25. > :14:30.evenings. But the time of day doesn't seem to matter. Thousands of
:14:30. > :14:35.drivers ignore the warnings. Almost 5,500 fines in the most recent
:14:35. > :14:39.period under review. And the roads where the worst offending takes
:14:39. > :14:41.place? At number five, the Grosvenor Road close to the Royal Victoria
:14:41. > :14:45.place? At number five, the Grosvenor Hospital, where a lot of people
:14:45. > :14:54.park, even at rush hours. The road with the fourth highest number of
:14:54. > :14:57.offenders is the Crumlin Road. Again, a road around a hospital,
:14:57. > :14:59.this time the Mater. At number three, - College Square East at the
:14:59. > :15:04.this time the Mater. At number heart of city centre traffic - not
:15:04. > :15:09.just at peak times but all day long. This is one of the roads where we
:15:09. > :15:13.had a lot of parking tickets and it could be areas with shops, people go
:15:13. > :15:17.into shops to get their paper and people drop of children to school.
:15:17. > :15:19.They might think they are only stopping for one minute but that
:15:19. > :15:22.does cause real safety and congestion issues. When motorists
:15:22. > :15:24.offend in designated lanes, it's not only other drivers who are affected.
:15:24. > :15:26.offend in designated lanes, it's not So the fines keep coming. The road
:15:26. > :15:29.offend in designated lanes, it's not where the second highest number of
:15:29. > :15:36.fines are issued in Belfast is Stranmillis, always with college
:15:36. > :15:40.life and close to the Ulster Museum. And the number one hotspot for fines
:15:40. > :15:48.- maybe it's no surprise - is the Lisburn Road, where almost 1,500
:15:48. > :15:55.fines have been issued. This area is one of the busiest hearts of
:15:55. > :15:58.Belfast. Perhaps surprisingly, while thousands of fines have been issued
:15:58. > :16:02.to motorists, there are four roads in the city where not a single fine
:16:02. > :16:05.has been issued for bus lane and clearway contraventions in 2012 and
:16:05. > :16:15.2013. York Road, York Street, the Glen Road and here on the busy

:16:19. > :16:22.its workforce in a £2 million expansion. Etain is creating 34 jobs
:16:23. > :16:28.and wants to win more business in the Republic and Britain. More than
:16:28. > :16:33.900 officers have left the police in the past four years. Another 112
:16:33. > :16:38.officers are expected to go by April next year. The figures were released
:16:38. > :16:41.in a Freedom of Information request by the Ulster Herald newspaper. The
:16:41. > :16:43.police recently launched a recruitment drive for 100 officers.
:16:43. > :16:46.Planning permission has been approved for a multi-million pound
:16:46. > :16:50.development in West Belfast. It includes a plan to build 450 houses
:16:50. > :16:58.and a hotel at the Glenmona site just off the Glen Road. It had been
:16:58. > :17:05.reported that the rugby star Ruan Pienaar was leaving Ulster to join
:17:05. > :17:09.Toulon, but he is going nowhere. Stephen Watson is at Ravenhill for
:17:09. > :17:17.us. Many fans thought they were losing a great talisman. Most fans
:17:17. > :17:19.feared the worst. Losing Ruan Pienaar would have been a massive
:17:19. > :17:23.load for Ulster. Since he arrived he Pienaar would have been a massive
:17:24. > :17:29.has been an unbelievable success story. He is a truly world-class
:17:29. > :17:33.player. And I can reveal that he turned down a much more lucrative
:17:33. > :17:37.contract with the reigning European chappies, Toulon, to stay in
:17:37. > :17:42.Northern Ireland. He has extended his contract to keep him at
:17:42. > :17:48.Ravenhill until 2017. Why is he staying? He told me in a special
:17:48. > :17:54.interview. It is a tough decision but I think I family is settled here
:17:54. > :17:59.and I have enjoyed my time with Ulster and the way we tried to play
:17:59. > :18:02.and still to be a part of this process of trying to become one of
:18:02. > :18:06.the top teams in Europe. But especially for me and I think that
:18:06. > :18:11.is the biggest reason that I have enjoyed this so much. We are looking
:18:11. > :18:16.forward to the next couple of years. We can see the building work going
:18:16. > :18:19.on at Ravenhill, was that part of it? Ulster trying to build this
:18:19. > :18:23.world-class facility? I cant believe I have been here for a couple of
:18:23. > :18:30.months and to see this change is amazing. The facilities will be some
:18:30. > :18:34.of the best in the world. Andrew part of something special is amazing
:18:34. > :18:40.for me. Did you have to turn down better offers? That is difficult to
:18:40. > :18:46.say. I am just happy to stay here longer. Hopefully I can continue to
:18:46. > :18:50.play as well as possible here and add something to the team and I'm
:18:50. > :18:58.just delighted to make that decision. And to be certain of what
:18:58. > :19:02.my future holds. It was not all about money? Much more than that?
:19:02. > :19:11.For sure. You have to enjoy your job. I only have a couple of years
:19:11. > :19:17.left and to play with a side as good as this is very special for me. Like
:19:17. > :19:19.I said, I have made the decision and hopefully
:19:19. > :19:26.memories on this pitch in the next couple of years. It is a massive
:19:26. > :19:30.boost for Ulster rugby. The man who convinced him to stay was Ulster's
:19:30. > :19:36.Director of Rugby, David Humphreys. He's also been speaking to BBC
:19:36. > :19:40.Newsline. At this time of year in every contract cycle, there are lots
:19:40. > :19:45.of players looking at options and we were delighted that Ruan Pienaar has
:19:45. > :19:50.decided to stay with Belfast. Any player will find someone willing to
:19:50. > :19:54.pay more. You have to offer an opportunity to maximise your career
:19:54. > :20:00.and the potential that every player has and slowly but surely, Ulster
:20:00. > :20:07.have done that. The fans thought he was gone. Did you think that? If you
:20:07. > :20:11.ask him, he would have told me if you weeks ago when we started with
:20:11. > :20:17.these rumours, he told me that he was going to stay. It is easy to get
:20:17. > :20:22.caught up in speculation and for us, he was central to what we are doing.
:20:22. > :20:26.We have to keep that quality. And Ruan Pienaar told me he has arrived
:20:26. > :20:29.back from South Africa and cannot wait to get into the team for the
:20:29. > :20:33.European match on Friday night against Leicester. Four of Belfast's
:20:33. > :20:36.top boxers have arrived in Kazakhstan ahead of the World
:20:37. > :20:40.Amateur Championships. Among the quartet is double Olympic medalist
:20:40. > :20:42.Paddy Barnes, who has yet to win a medal of any colour at the elite
:20:42. > :20:45.Paddy Barnes, who has yet to win a event, but is determined to do so
:20:45. > :20:49.this time round. Nikki Gregg reports. He's written his name into
:20:49. > :20:52.the history books in recent years as one of Ireland's most decorated
:20:52. > :20:54.boxers. Winning medals at Olympic, European and Commonwealth level,
:20:54. > :21:05.Paddy Barnes has found success at the World Championships harder to
:21:05. > :21:11.come by. I am always train to go the full mile. Anything else, you are
:21:11. > :21:17.second best. Or a loser. I will be very happy with a medal because that
:21:17. > :21:22.is the only medal I have never got. I got to the quarterfinals in 2007
:21:22. > :21:25.but this is my year for a medal and please God, Gold. If the tournament
:21:25. > :21:28.in Kazakhstan gives Barnes the opportunity to fill a long-standing
:21:28. > :21:32.gap on his CV, it also marks the arrival of a rising star on the
:21:32. > :21:36.world stage. Holy Trinity's Sean McComb joined the senior team
:21:36. > :21:38.earlier this year. The lightweight is regarded as one of the most
:21:38. > :21:42.earlier this year. The lightweight exciting prospects on these shores.
:21:42. > :21:48.You have to do with the pressure in the ring and that comes with being a
:21:48. > :21:52.good boxer. You can have all the talent in the world and not juice
:21:52. > :21:56.the goods in the ring. It is just natural. I can handle the pressure.
:21:56. > :22:02.It helps being part of a tight-knit team. There is a great bond between
:22:02. > :22:10.all of us because we have come through
:22:11. > :22:18.of teasing to be had. I am afraid of flying so I wish the championship
:22:18. > :22:22.was in Belfast. Paddy is a bit of a hypochondriac. If there is anything
:22:22. > :22:26.to the plane about, he will. He complains about waiting to long in
:22:26. > :22:31.the airport and about the heating. Always complaining. But it is worth
:22:31. > :22:35.it. But as part of his routine - complaining. There's no doubt that
:22:35. > :22:39.return flight will be much more bearable with a few medals on board.
:22:39. > :22:47.Gaelic football and Kieren McGeeney has rejoined Armagh as part of the
:22:47. > :22:52.county's management team. And the League Cup tonight as Glentoran
:22:52. > :22:56.against Linfield at the Oval. We will have all of the results on the
:22:56. > :23:00.late bulletin. There was a surprise new DVD released this week - a
:23:00. > :23:06.reworked version of the 1970s hit Convoy. It was first made when the
:23:06. > :23:09.CB radio craze was at its height. The radio sets were hugely popular
:23:09. > :23:15.here, even though they were illegal at the time. Our good buddy, Gordon
:23:15. > :23:23.Adair, has been taking an affectionate look back at a time
:23:23. > :23:28.when CB ruled the waves. 1978, haircuts were a criminal and the
:23:28. > :23:48.clothes were desperate and car as... They were actually quite cool. In
:23:48. > :23:56.many of these motor car as you might have find in the glovebox one of
:23:56. > :23:59.these. And illegal CB radio. Copy? You always had them selling
:23:59. > :24:06.accessories but never CB radios. That was always bought under the
:24:06. > :24:10.counter. You always had to look around for anybody watching. Get
:24:10. > :24:15.that into a bag quickly. Always great fun. I know if you people that
:24:15. > :24:21.brought them into the country at that time and were brought in by any
:24:21. > :24:28.means. You could have brought them in on a card trailer or by
:24:28. > :24:34.aeroplane. Boats and lorries. CB was the forerunner of social media, and
:24:34. > :24:36.we are so addicted to that night. I used to sit and do my homework and
:24:36. > :24:41.listen to these American truckers and it was fantastic. You heard that
:24:41. > :24:45.slang and then the movies came along. And you related to that slang
:24:45. > :24:49.slang and then the movies came they were using in the movies
:24:49. > :24:51.because I had heard that on my CV. Did you find yourself slipping into
:24:51. > :24:58.an American accent? Sure! Time to Did you find yourself slipping into
:24:58. > :25:11.see if there are any good buddies left at their... -- out there. Copy?
:25:11. > :25:15.One, four, copy? Hello? Hello! You need the American accent! What was
:25:15. > :25:19.your handle? Your wrapper? Your 20? CB radio had a lingo all of its own.
:25:19. > :25:22.We're sharing memories on our Facebook page. Join the conversation
:25:22. > :25:30.if you like. The weather forecast is next with Angie. Some suggestions
:25:30. > :25:37.for your handle? The weather woman. Ray of sunshine? That will do!
:25:37. > :25:45.I am not into that lingo. There will be a transition today. We have lost
:25:45. > :25:47.the southerly winds the problem winds brought those reasonable
:25:47. > :25:53.temperatures over the last few days but we still reached 16 today. That
:25:53. > :25:57.is above average. Still clinging on to that mild air. This cold air is
:25:57. > :26:01.to the north and over the next couple of days brisk northerly wind
:26:01. > :26:05.will bring that cold air across many parts of Britain and Ireland and
:26:05. > :26:09.also some showers as well. Before this even, the wind is not too
:26:09. > :26:14.strong and apart from the odd shower it is mainly dry and cloudy for the
:26:14. > :26:17.end of the day. We might get one to light showers feeding in as a breeze
:26:17. > :26:21.picks up from the north-west through the night but most places stay dry
:26:21. > :26:25.and it's a cooler night then recently with temperatures around
:26:25. > :26:30.nine or ten but some rural spots good tip to eight degrees. Tomorrow,
:26:30. > :26:36.that brisk north-westerly wind has to be a feature. It will make it
:26:36. > :26:44.feel quite a good bet colder and will bring showers. Project eagerly
:26:44. > :26:46.for the morning. Especially across mid-Ulster and Fermanagh but more
:26:46. > :26:51.frequent showers across Londonderry, County Antrim and towards Belfast
:26:52. > :26:57.and particularly North Down. There could be the odd sharp one. Even
:26:57. > :27:00.once they clear away, we are not out of the woods. We could get some
:27:00. > :27:06.trickling into the northern counties. But some places will avoid
:27:06. > :27:09.them for the afternoon and there will be gaps in between.
:27:09. > :27:12.them for the afternoon and there Particularly for parts of Fermanagh,
:27:12. > :27:17.County Down and armour, mainly dry with sunshine and look at those
:27:17. > :27:22.temperatures. 11 or 12 degrees. If you are planning any walk tomorrow,
:27:22. > :27:25.you will need layers of clothes and those leaves on this Lagan took part
:27:25. > :27:28.were be blowing around. And that stays with us tomorrow night, it
:27:29. > :27:32.will be colder still, perhaps five degrees in rural spots. Thursday,
:27:33. > :27:37.windy and dry with sunshine but the degrees in rural spots. Thursday,
:27:37. > :27:48.chilly weather continues into the weekend. You can keep in contact on
:27:48. > :27:48.Facebook. Do you copy, good Audi? !
