:00:17. > :00:24.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline:

:00:25. > :00:30.20 years on, the victims of the Shankill bomb are remembered. I

:00:31. > :00:37.rushed down, looked up the Shankill and seen total carnage, total

:00:38. > :00:40.carnage. A man who drugged and raped women

:00:41. > :00:44.here is jailed again, this time for attacking women in Scotland.

:00:45. > :00:49.I'm live in Dublin with the latest on the controversy about Roma

:00:50. > :00:54.children. The future of Exploris aquarium may have been in doubt,

:00:55. > :00:59.today it attracted a new group of visitors, Stormont politicians. They

:01:00. > :01:03.received a noisy welcome. It's been a very bad day for

:01:04. > :01:06.Belfast's boxers as Paddy Barnes, Michael Conlon and Tommy McCarthy

:01:07. > :01:08.all miss out on medals at the World Championships.

:01:09. > :01:10.Chilly but mainly dry through the next 24 hours, but beyond that

:01:11. > :01:25.there's more rain on the way. 20 years ago today on the Shankill

:01:26. > :01:28.Road in Belfast they were still digging in rubble, that's all that

:01:29. > :01:36.was left of the fish shop where an IRA bomb exploded killing nine

:01:37. > :01:40.people. Today on the Shankill, hundreds

:01:41. > :01:42.gathered for a memorial service at West Kirk Church.

:01:43. > :01:45.The shutters on shops were closed as a mark of respect and school

:01:46. > :01:48.children laid flowers at both a memorial and the scene further up

:01:49. > :01:51.the road. The service coincided with the exact

:01:52. > :01:56.time of the explosion. This community has not forgotten those

:01:57. > :01:59.bombs that happened in a period of a number of years in a very short

:02:00. > :02:05.distance from this road, particularly the anniversary of the

:02:06. > :02:08.Shankil bomb where nine people lost their lives. Community has been

:02:09. > :02:10.drawing around together, supporting each other, supporting the families.

:02:11. > :02:19.That is a very important thing to do -- Shankill.

:02:20. > :02:22.It happened at 1.05pm in the afternoon.

:02:23. > :02:25.Along with the nine killed, one of the bombers, Thomas Begley, also

:02:26. > :02:28.died and more than 50 people were injured.

:02:29. > :02:30.The IRA claimed it was attacking a UDA meeting in an office above the

:02:31. > :02:34.shop. No meeting was taking place at the

:02:35. > :02:36.time. Instead men, women and children

:02:37. > :02:40.died. All of them Protestant.

:02:41. > :02:43.Within a week, more people were killed in loyalist reprisals

:02:44. > :02:47.including at Greysteel where some of the relatives of the Shankill

:02:48. > :02:50.bombing attended the funerals there. BBC Newsline's Mervyn Jess has been

:02:51. > :03:00.meeting a range of people affected by the bomb as they reflect on that

:03:01. > :03:06.day two decades ago. I seen total carnage. Total carnage. When you get

:03:07. > :03:09.attacked from outside as a community, it brings the community

:03:10. > :03:13.together even more tightly. There is not a day goes past when I don't

:03:14. > :03:18.think about it. There is not a day goes past when I don't think of

:03:19. > :03:23.Sharon. Nine men, women and children were killed in the bombing at number

:03:24. > :03:29.273 Shankill Road. They were ordinary people, out about their

:03:30. > :03:34.business, on a Saturday afternoon. IRA bomber Thomas Begley was also

:03:35. > :03:39.killed when the device exploded prematurely as he carried it into

:03:40. > :03:46.the fish shop. Charlottely Butler lost three family members in the

:03:47. > :03:49.bombing, his niece, his partner and their seven-year-old daughter. He

:03:50. > :03:56.went to the scene, not knowing his loved ones were among those under

:03:57. > :04:00.the rubble. It may be 20 years, whatever, it could be 20 minutes

:04:01. > :04:08.ago. I rushed down, looked up the Shankill and seen total carnage.

:04:09. > :04:13.Total carnage. Seen people lying about, bleeding. I started lifting

:04:14. > :04:18.rubble, pulling rubble away. Within minutes he came across the body of

:04:19. > :04:26.sp-year-old Leanne Murray. I called for a stretcher. We lifted Leanne

:04:27. > :04:31.and put her on the stretcher and put a sheet over her and carried over to

:04:32. > :04:38.some ambulances. One of the crew opened the back of the ambulance and

:04:39. > :04:46.I seen other stretchers with other sheets over it. Then it started

:04:47. > :04:50.hitting home, you know, this is bad. Out of the rubble came

:04:51. > :04:54.peace-building inititives. Alan McBride, whose wife Sharon was

:04:55. > :04:58.killed in the bombing, say these have given his life purpose and

:04:59. > :05:02.meaning. Recent controversies over parades, flags and commemorations

:05:03. > :05:07.have left him questioning how much progress has really been made in the

:05:08. > :05:10.last 20 years. The hyprocisy shown by all of our politicians,

:05:11. > :05:15.particularly the DUP, Sinn Fein in terms of how they play games with

:05:16. > :05:19.these type of issues. I sometimes wonder, if we moved into a society

:05:20. > :05:24.that I and so many like me voted for back in 1998. Perhaps we are not

:05:25. > :05:29.there the yet and we are still on that journey. I would have liked to

:05:30. > :05:32.believe 20 years on after the Shankill bomb and the Good Friday

:05:33. > :05:38.Agreement we would have made more progress than we have. Economic

:05:39. > :05:45.progress was affected on the Shankill. It made us determined we

:05:46. > :05:50.would not let it beat us. Since 1993 we've had some of the best

:05:51. > :05:53.development work, I think, in the whole of Ireland or the UK happening

:05:54. > :05:58.on the Shankill with community groups that have been at the cutting

:05:59. > :06:04.edge of so much positive development. Clergyman David Clemens

:06:05. > :06:09.comforted relatives of those killed at the time, encountering sorrow,

:06:10. > :06:15.grieved and anger. The subject of support and care for victims has

:06:16. > :06:22.been an issue that has hung around the edges of political debate for

:06:23. > :06:27.years and years. It has been misused by people who want... They have

:06:28. > :06:33.their own political agendas. They have used the victims issue, on both

:06:34. > :06:40.sides, to advance their own political agendas. That has not, in

:06:41. > :06:43.most cases, been to the benefit for the good of the victims themselves.

:06:44. > :06:47.Every day life on the Shankill is much like anywhere else, that is

:06:48. > :06:56.until an anniversary like this comes around. I just hope that the people

:06:57. > :07:02.that done this, I hope they think of Michelle and what he done. I hope

:07:03. > :07:08.they think of Leanne Murray and what they've done. I hope every time they

:07:09. > :07:19.look at their own kids, they think about they done to the nine families

:07:20. > :07:23.on the Shankill that day. The first person to be convicted of drug rape

:07:24. > :07:26.here has been jailed for similar crimes in Scotland. William Fenton

:07:27. > :07:30.went to live in Ayr after he was released from prison in Northern

:07:31. > :07:33.Ireland. Chris Page reports. This is William Fenton at the time of his

:07:34. > :07:37.original conviction, 13 years ago. Fenton, who is 55 and from island

:07:38. > :07:41.Magee, was jailed for drugging women, then sexually assaulting them

:07:42. > :07:45.he was the first person in Northern Ireland to be convicted of drug

:07:46. > :07:50.rape. After he was released Fenton moved to Ayr in Scotland and

:07:51. > :07:54.attacked four more women. Today, at this court in Edinburgh he was sent

:07:55. > :07:57.to prison again. The court heard he laced alcohol with drugs and gave

:07:58. > :08:02.the mixture to the women. He raped one of them and sexually assaulted

:08:03. > :08:06.three others. The judge said the crimes were similar to Fenton's

:08:07. > :08:13.previous offences. He described Fenton as a real danger to women.

:08:14. > :08:18.Eileen Caulder speaks for a charity that works with rape victims. He was

:08:19. > :08:22.sentenced to 12 years and served half of that. He was put on the Sex

:08:23. > :08:25.Offenders Register for life. That does not seem to have helped the

:08:26. > :08:29.situation at all or protected anyone. It is incredible to think he

:08:30. > :08:36.was able to go and repeat his crimes in another part of the UK with,

:08:37. > :08:41.obviously, no monitoring on his behaviour at all. Was jailed for at

:08:42. > :08:44.least six years. When he will be released depends on what the Parole

:08:45. > :08:53.Board decides on the risk he poses to women. A number of people have

:08:54. > :08:57.been arrested in Scotland in an operation focused on dissident

:08:58. > :09:02.Republicans. They were detained in several locations. The PSNI was

:09:03. > :09:05.involved. It's believed dissident Republicans were behind a pipebomb

:09:06. > :09:08.attack on the police in Londonderry last night. A device was thrown at

:09:09. > :09:12.two neighbourhood officers who were in a patrol car at Charlotte Street

:09:13. > :09:16.near Long Tower Chapel in the Bogside. It just missed the vehicle

:09:17. > :09:27.and failed to explode. Four families were moved out of their homes

:09:28. > :09:31.overnight. Schools, including a nursery and a mass, were disrupted

:09:32. > :09:34.this morning. They don't care who else gets dragged into that. Who

:09:35. > :09:38.else might have been injured. Had this detonated and the chaos and

:09:39. > :09:56.disruption it caused to families and people going around their normal

:09:57. > :09:59.business today. The Public Prosecution Service has launched a

:10:00. > :10:01.High Court bid to reinstate criminal proceedings against three people in

:10:02. > :10:05.connection with Robert Hamill's murder. Mr Hamill was beaten by a

:10:06. > :10:08.loyalist gang in Portadown in April 1997. He died 12 days later. The

:10:09. > :10:11.challenge follows the decision to halt conspiracy to pervert the

:10:12. > :10:15.course of justice charges faced by the two men and a woman including a

:10:16. > :10:18.former RUC officer and his wife. Proceedings were stopped earlier

:10:19. > :10:22.this year because a key witness was deemed unreliable. Now the PPS wants

:10:23. > :10:56.that decision to be reviewed. Is what is the latest in Dublin?

:10:57. > :11:01.Around this time yesterday evening took into their care and put into

:11:02. > :11:11.the care of the health service here a two-and-a-half-year-old boy after

:11:12. > :11:16.a member of the public contacted the gardai saying they suspected the boy

:11:17. > :11:21.did not belong to the parents. The child was returned to his family

:11:22. > :11:28.this morning satisfied he did belong to them. DNA tests were carried out

:11:29. > :11:33.weren't proceeded with, such was the confidence that the child did belong

:11:34. > :11:37.to the parents. Campaigners for Roma rights both here and abroad have

:11:38. > :11:43.expressed concerns and fears about hysteria and witch-hunt and racial

:11:44. > :11:54.profiling where Roma children are concerned. There are an increasing

:11:55. > :12:03.number of reports from usually reliable sources but not confirmed

:12:04. > :12:07.by Gardai that test results of the blonde haired blue-eyed girl showed

:12:08. > :12:11.that she does belong to her parents. She has been in care since Monday

:12:12. > :12:17.evening after a member of public contacted a journalist who contacted

:12:18. > :12:20.Gardai to say she looked different from her parents and her other

:12:21. > :12:26.siblings. The parents insisted that she is their daughter, as have their

:12:27. > :12:29.siblings. It also looks very much like that the parents will be

:12:30. > :12:33.reunited with their daughter very soon. They have also insisted she is

:12:34. > :12:44.their daughter. They have co-operated with the authorities. A

:12:45. > :12:47.43-year-old pch olish -- Polishdivorcee has collapsed in the

:12:48. > :12:56.dock after being found guilty of taking part in a sham wedding in

:12:57. > :13:01.County Tyrone. Mother of three Agnieszka Kobus fainted as the

:13:02. > :13:13.guilty verdict was announced in Dungannon Crown Court.

:13:14. > :13:20.28-year-old Zafron had been here on a three year student advice ya which

:13:21. > :13:26.was due to run out. In May he pleaded guilty to his part in the

:13:27. > :13:30.conspiracy. He was sentenced to 16 months in jail with the

:13:31. > :13:37.recommendation he be deported on his release. Kobus insists -- accepts

:13:38. > :13:41.now that the wedding was a sham. She said she didn't realise it at the

:13:42. > :13:46.time. She had entered into the agreement to marry him because she

:13:47. > :13:50.loved him and wanted to bhary him. This was despite the fact she had

:13:51. > :13:56.only met im him on a handful occasions. Today she was found

:13:57. > :14:01.guilty. Paramedics were called to the court after Kobus appeared to

:14:02. > :14:06.faint. The court was cleared and she was treated in the dock before the

:14:07. > :14:11.case resumed. She was released on bail and will be sentenced at later

:14:12. > :14:16.date. Stormont committee Chairman has said it would be "madness" to

:14:17. > :14:24.shut down Exploris aquarium in port ferry. The Chair of the Enterprise

:14:25. > :14:28.Trade and Investment Committee, Patsy McGlone, was speaking after

:14:29. > :14:33.visiting the aquarium today with his committee colleagues. The facility

:14:34. > :14:38.will close next year unless extra funding can be found. Thousands of

:14:39. > :14:45.school children visit Exploris every year. Today they came to see

:14:46. > :14:50.politicians rather than fish. The politicians came to see the fish and

:14:51. > :14:54.also to hear the arguments in favour of keeping open the aquarium.

:14:55. > :14:59.Campaigners said that Northern Ireland couldn't afford to lose a

:15:00. > :15:02.vital visitor attraction. They are coming here because it's special.

:15:03. > :15:06.They are coming here because it's different. . They can see a Sea Life

:15:07. > :15:11.Centre anywhere across the world. There only is one Exploris. The

:15:12. > :15:16.problem is the aquarium is costing Ardz Council more than ?500,000 to

:15:17. > :15:21.run every year. It's not just an aquarium, but a seal sanctuary,

:15:22. > :15:26.helping those injured recover in safe surroundings. Exploris has been

:15:27. > :15:31.here for 26 years. At the moment, it is home to 12 different seals and

:15:32. > :15:37.more than 3,000 fish. What happens to them if this place closes? In the

:15:38. > :15:42.past the council has taken turtles washed up on the shore to the bee

:15:43. > :15:45.Hamas and whatever. I wouldn't say that it has to be specifically

:15:46. > :15:49.somewhere. It may be difficult for us to get them rehomed. That is what

:15:50. > :15:55.we would have to do. Is there any chance of a last-minute reprieve for

:15:56. > :15:59.Exploris? I hope that it will be saved, great facility. Essentially,

:16:00. > :16:05.it must be saved. For anyone to allow this to go down the drain, it

:16:06. > :16:10.will be madness. Exploris has no shortage of supporters. The what it

:16:11. > :16:12.really needs is more money. There is no sign yet that it's going to get

:16:13. > :16:23.it. Work has begun on the site of

:16:24. > :16:29.Northern Ireland's first shared education campus. It's being built

:16:30. > :16:33.at a former army base in Omagh and will accommodate six schools with a

:16:34. > :16:38.total of nearly 4,000 pupils. Julian Fowler reports.

:16:39. > :16:42.It has taken six years of planning, but at last work is underway. The

:16:43. > :16:49.Education Minister what is the first building was demolished, along with

:16:50. > :16:55.pupils from the six schools will eventually relocate here. The

:16:56. > :16:59.project has raised ?130 million. This is the biggest investment in

:17:00. > :17:05.any educational project in the history of the North. This has sound

:17:06. > :17:10.educational reasons for coming here. It has sound reasons for her society

:17:11. > :17:16.coming year. These pupils will have left school by the time the project

:17:17. > :17:20.is finished. But they are excited. There are more chances for people to

:17:21. > :17:28.get together. It is a really good idea. We will get to work together

:17:29. > :17:32.rather than separately. This is what the new campus will look like. Well

:17:33. > :17:38.each school will retain its own identity, there will be shared areas

:17:39. > :17:42.and state-of-the-art supports -- sports facilities including 19

:17:43. > :17:45.playing fields. The site is so vast it will take a year for all the old

:17:46. > :17:48.army buildings to be demolished. Work will then begin on a new

:17:49. > :17:56.special school but will take seven years.

:17:57. > :18:00.Still to come: The latest from Kazakhstan where it has been a bad

:18:01. > :18:14.day, I'm afraid, for our local boxers.

:18:15. > :18:18.The Turner Prize exhibition opened to the public in Londonderry today.

:18:19. > :18:21.It's the first time its been held outside England and is here as part

:18:22. > :18:24.of Derry's UK City of Culture celebrations. Since 1984 the prize

:18:25. > :18:27.has been presented to an artist under 50 who has been living,

:18:28. > :18:31.working or born in Britain. So what's the public going to make of

:18:32. > :18:32.it all? Here's our North-West reporter Keiron Tourish.

:18:33. > :18:35.it all? Here's our North-West Indeed, after all the anticipation,

:18:36. > :18:39.the Turner prize is finally here and open to the public. It has been

:18:40. > :18:42.described as one of the greatest arts competitions in the world.

:18:43. > :18:49.Every year, it provokes controversy, debate, joy, elation, and leave some

:18:50. > :19:02.people scratching their heads. We will go inside and take a look. This

:19:03. > :19:06.woman runs and cake making company. Will the Turner prize be a sweet

:19:07. > :19:10.tasting as one of her cupcakes? This man is well-known for his green

:19:11. > :19:15.fingers, he is lecturer in horticulture. Will the Turner prize

:19:16. > :19:21.blossom for him? And from Londonderry College, to students and

:19:22. > :19:29.their teacher who will be checking out the exhibition for BBC newsline.

:19:30. > :19:38.It is a bit overhyped, that I enjoy and one of the exhibitions. I liked

:19:39. > :19:45.the Gandhian ladies but I'll so think I have some an aim friends and

:19:46. > :19:54.their message is way beyond the paintings. -- their personalities.

:19:55. > :20:00.It's mad. There is a room with nothing in it. I don't know what to

:20:01. > :20:03.make of it. I'm not sure what my overall thoughts are. I need to

:20:04. > :20:07.think about what I have just seen. It is interesting. It is very

:20:08. > :20:13.interactive, which I was not expecting. There has been a lot of

:20:14. > :20:21.controversy about the nude man. What do make of that? It is art. Exposing

:20:22. > :20:28.the human body. It is art. That is a good answer. There you have it, some

:20:29. > :20:30.first impressions of the Turner prize 2013. If you want to check it

:20:31. > :20:38.out, you have plenty of time. It runs until early January.

:20:39. > :20:42.Certainly worth a visit. From the Turner prize to the art of boxing,

:20:43. > :20:46.and it has been a disappointing day for our local men at the World

:20:47. > :20:54.Amateur Championships in Kazakhstan. Not a good day? No. They have been

:20:55. > :20:58.routinely successful at the Olympics, but they cannot crack

:20:59. > :21:02.Kazakhstan. Paddy Barnes, Michael Conlan and Tommy McCarthy have

:21:03. > :21:06.failed to secure a medal at the World Amateur Championships. After

:21:07. > :21:09.his debate, Paddy Barnes tweeted that he fought on with blurred

:21:10. > :21:15.vision for three rounds. Fighting without headgear is good, but to do

:21:16. > :21:21.it six times in ten days, is impossible, he said.

:21:22. > :21:24.Belfast's trio of boxers leave Central Asia thinking about what

:21:25. > :21:28.could have been. Three medals were up for grabs today, none of which

:21:29. > :21:33.will be en route to Northern Ireland. Olympic bronze medallist

:21:34. > :21:38.Michael Conlan started proceedings against Russia's Vladimir Nikitin

:21:39. > :21:44.with a sturdy bantamweight defeating the 22-year-old Conlan. That seemed

:21:45. > :21:48.to be the theme of the day, as heavyweight Tommy McCarthy also

:21:49. > :21:53.failed to a unanimous decision against Argentinian Yamil Peralta.

:21:54. > :21:59.If you want to know what disappointments is like, here's

:22:00. > :22:04.Tommy. I can change it now, no point crying about it. I am gutted I

:22:05. > :22:12.didn't get it. Can you take any positives? Not right now. I just got

:22:13. > :22:16.beaten. There was better news just before the interval with Donegal's

:22:17. > :22:23.European gold medallist defeating his son gay and opponent to

:22:24. > :22:30.guarantee at least a bronze medal -- has Hungarian Grand Prix and.

:22:31. > :22:35.In the afternoon session, Paddy Barnes was cut as early as the first

:22:36. > :22:41.round. The Olympic bronze medallist had impaired vision. Both fighters

:22:42. > :22:46.were deducted a point each in round two. Paddy Barnes has just been

:22:47. > :22:54.issued a warning for the use of his head. His opponent boxed Barnes out

:22:55. > :23:00.of the competition, ending any hope of a Northern Ireland medal in

:23:01. > :23:05.Kazakhstan. Tommy McCarthy's face sums the mood

:23:06. > :23:11.up there. To rugby, the threat over the future of the Heineken Cup is

:23:12. > :23:14.growing. Clubs in England and France are keen to form a breakaway

:23:15. > :23:20.European competition, and as of last night, Wales is also on board.

:23:21. > :23:31.Secret discussions are taking place in Ireland as we speak.

:23:32. > :23:35.Could the visit of Welsh teams be something we never see again after

:23:36. > :23:41.this season? Perhaps. Last night for Welsh clubs decided to back a new

:23:42. > :23:43.breakaway European competition with French and English clubs, putting

:23:44. > :23:50.the Heineken Cup into jeopardy and the future of the Pro 12. If you

:23:51. > :23:54.take these teams out of the competition, I don't know where we

:23:55. > :24:05.would go or what would happen. The factors, we can't control it, it is

:24:06. > :24:09.out of our hands. Today, a meeting took place between European club

:24:10. > :24:14.stakeholders at a secret location in Dublin city centre. It was mediated

:24:15. > :24:18.and toxic expected to continue into tomorrow. Essentially the dispute

:24:19. > :24:24.comes down to power and money. Ulster's coach is hoping a

:24:25. > :24:31.resolution can be reached securing both the Heineken Cup and the Pro

:24:32. > :24:33.12. I think it will because it is a good competition. Look at the teams

:24:34. > :24:41.in the Pro 12 having success in Europe over the weekend. It is one

:24:42. > :24:45.that is challenged week in week out, and if you do not perform you will

:24:46. > :24:50.get beaten. It is uncertain times for club rugby if a resolution is

:24:51. > :24:53.not found. More Irish players may feel their professional careers

:24:54. > :25:03.along a broad, not home. Very cloak and dagger. We will keep

:25:04. > :25:07.you abreast of that one. We conclude with rugby. Joe Schmidt has revealed

:25:08. > :25:11.his squad for the Autumn Internationals. There has been

:25:12. > :25:16.surprise that Andrew Trimble has missed out. It Ulster men do make

:25:17. > :25:19.the cut for the games against Australia, Samoa and world champions

:25:20. > :25:25.New Zealand. Thank you very much. Time now for

:25:26. > :25:32.the weather. I did not get wet which makes a change. You are lucky

:25:33. > :25:37.because some people did. That rain was associated with a weather front

:25:38. > :25:41.pulling away to the east. We have had cool air sweeping across

:25:42. > :25:45.Northern Ireland from the West on brisk westerly winds. Those winds

:25:46. > :25:49.did bring quite a few showers particularly across the north and

:25:50. > :25:53.west. The wind managed to bring a few showers further east as well.

:25:54. > :25:59.Sunshine in between, so there were a few rainbows around. This one was

:26:00. > :26:05.spotted. Another further east in County Antrim. The showers are

:26:06. > :26:11.easing. Still 12 in the North and West this evening. -- still one or

:26:12. > :26:16.two. Cool conditions, temperatures dropping to three or four degrees.

:26:17. > :26:22.There could be ground frost around and patchy mist as well. That goes

:26:23. > :26:26.quite quickly in the morning, it is a mainly dry day coming up. Not huge

:26:27. > :26:30.amounts of sunshine because after an initially bright start cloud will

:26:31. > :26:33.spill its way in from the south. It may even threaten the odd spot of

:26:34. > :26:42.rain, maybe for parts of the County Down coast. For most of us, it will

:26:43. > :26:45.stay dry. There will be a few bright glances coming through from time to

:26:46. > :26:49.time. The winds are lighter tomorrow but it is still cool, temperatures

:26:50. > :26:53.between 11 and 13 degrees. Into tomorrow evening, at this point it

:26:54. > :26:57.is mainly dry, but the changes on the way. The breeze starts to pick

:26:58. > :27:01.up through tomorrow night and by the end of the night spells of rain are

:27:02. > :27:06.moving into the south, but at least it is milder, with lows of nine or

:27:07. > :27:09.10 degrees. This batch of rain is associated with another area of low

:27:10. > :27:15.pressure bringing heavy spells of rain and brisk winds through Friday

:27:16. > :27:18.morning. An early warning has been issued again for this event on

:27:19. > :27:26.Friday. Eastern areas could be prone to localised fronting -- localised

:27:27. > :27:29.flooding. The weekend, quite blustery and cool, another batch of

:27:30. > :27:34.rain on Saturday followed by bright spells and showers.

:27:35. > :27:38.Finally a brief update on that story of the Roma couple in Dublin. A

:27:39. > :27:43.seven-year-old girl, removed from their care, is their daughter. It is

:27:44. > :27:46.understood that the NHS have proved that she is their child. -- BNA

:27:47. > :27:50.tests.
