Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: Four brothers go on trial | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
accused of murdering a couple at their home in County Armagh. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
Just how much pressure is Gerry Adams under? We've a special report. | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
It will be a long night for the head teachers and other educationalists | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
at Stormont who have gathered to make their views known on changes | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
for a budget for schools. Will the Dream Team lead to a | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
potential talent drain of players from Northern Ireland? | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Also in sport, we announce BBC Northern Ireland's unsung hero. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
And after a drizzly, grey day today, a bright and much more breezy | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
picture for tomorrow. Join me later for all the details. | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
The trial has got underway of four brothers accused of a double murder | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
in County Armagh seven years ago. They are accused of murdering a | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
couple at their cottage near Tassagh. Thomas O'Hare and Lisa | :01:12. | :01:23. | |
McClatchey did a horrific death. Both were overtaken by their | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
injuries in the days that followed an arson attack at this remote house | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
they shared. This morning we heard disturbing details of the attack, | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
the alleged motive for and a horrific moments that followed. The | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
prosecution say the massed men who burst into the house were the Smith | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Brothers, Martin, Christopher, Niall and Stephen. They brutally beat | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Thomas O'Hare with hammers and then deliberately doused almost every | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
room in the house with up to 15 gallons of petrol. The resultant | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
explosion dislodged roof timbers and blew the back door to pieces. Six | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
years earlier, Thomas O'Hare pleaded guilty to indecently assaulting | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
three young boys when he was 17. One of them was Stephen Smith, the | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
youngest of the Smith Brothers and other tenant in this trial. The | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
court then heard her for details of how a desperately injured Lisa had | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
run to neighbours seeking help. Both Lisa and Thomas O'Hare suffered 80% | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
burns. Half of these described as full thickness was up was too much | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
for their bodies to bear and within days both work bed, but in the words | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
of the proceeding QC, they were not the only ones under to hospital that | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
night with burns. The Smith Brothers also presented themselves at | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
hospital in Dundalk. Their ride in a silver Mercedes and a green forward | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Mondeo. The next day their father scrapped a green forward Mondeo. The | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
silver receives were screeds -- was seized and among items that was a | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
receipt for four balaclavas bought in Dublin. Clothing was also seized | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
which the prosecution say can be mapped to remnants of clothing found | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
at the scene of the fire. Mr Edwards said in doing what they did the | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
defendant must have intended to cause Thomas O'Hare and Lisa | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
McClatchey serious harm. They submit that the evidence suggests the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
intention was to kill. The case continues. | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
The shooting of a man in south Armagh last night has been | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
condemned. Several men entered a house in Cullyhanna and shot him in | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the legs. The man's injuries aren't thought to be life-threatening. No | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
one wants this type of activity. People have rejected it and my | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
message to those involved in it is simply stop it and allow people to | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
live their lives in peace. A security alert in Londonderry has | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
ended. Army bomb experts closed Coshquinn Road, Whitehouse Road and | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
Groarty Road after suspicious activity was reported. All roads | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
have been re-opened. The inquest into the UVF murder of | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
the Dungannon pensioner Roseann Mallon has been told that an area | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
around the scene was in a type of security forces' lockdown at the | :04:18. | :04:27. | |
time. The 76-year-old's death is one of 29 being examined amid claims of | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
collusion with loyalists. A particularly violent time, is how | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
the period leading up to the murder of Roseanne Mallon was described in | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
court. Eight people killed in two weeks. The inquest heard groups of | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
armed men were a regular feature in the district. Giving evidence, and | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
STS -- and SDLP councillor said he was getting complaints by local | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
farmers whose land was being used by the Army. He described it as | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
lockdown, where it was impossible to travel within a three-mile radius | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
without being stopped by patrols. He was asked if that had anything to do | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
with the murders and said it was murdered triangle where | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
noncombatants like Roseann Mallon were killed. He said all such | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
security force activity stopped after her murder. The day before the | :05:19. | :05:25. | |
murder, he said a Mr T on reported seeing a number of what he described | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
as a number of Army men in the area. Mr Hazelton was called the | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
questioning but said he could not remember anything related to that | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
period 20 years ago. In a statement, father James Crowley, who | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
administered last rites, spoke about the fear in the committee after the | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
killing. He was concerned about its impact on community relations. He | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
said police visited, since in the area morning they were under threat. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
He said he spent time visiting families to reassure them. The | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
inquest continues. Gerry Adams has seen off many a | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
political crisis in his 30 years as Sinn Fein president. But this time | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
it's personal, and political, with allegations about his role in his | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
brother's sex abuse case and the 1972 disappearance of Jean | :06:20. | :06:29. | |
McConville. Does he now believe that it is time for his party president | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
to resign? The kind of questions Sinn Fein is facing in a week which | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
has seen Gerry Adams's and ability questioned. Martin McGuinness had to | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
defend his leader's role in the sex abuse case against Liam Adams. | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Critics continue to claim Gerry Adams was too slow to act. Clearly | :06:51. | :06:57. | |
the party opposite me who brought this forward, are more interested in | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
covering up for their paedophile protecting President. Sinn Fein | :07:02. | :07:09. | |
demanded a retraction but accusations are flying as Gerry | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Adams defends himself over allegations he was an IRA leader at | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
the time of the murder of Jean McConville. I have learned from a | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
top Republican source that you were a Belfast brigade commander when | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
Jean McConville was taken and executed. That you, in fact, were | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
ultimately responsible for her fate. That is not true. What ever the | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
truth, these problems are taking their toll. He is damaged, it is | :07:39. | :07:49. | |
career will not go any further. Gerry Adams's pitch for power in the | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
Dail, where he became TD for a loud, has brought new pressures. You could | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
argue that south of the border he is a liability. Sinn Fein is in a | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
position to make real gains in the Republic and become a major party | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
but a flaw in that plan is its leader. The reason is that Gerry | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
Adams has baggage. Whether Gerry Adams climbs to ministerial position | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
or not, it is claimed his TD post remains solid. He is a popular TD in | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
this area and I think while he might be under pressure at a national | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
level, we saw last night Enda Kenny and Brendan Smith delivered a strong | :08:36. | :08:42. | |
speech, so he is under pressure political -- politically but a | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
national level, that has not come through here. In Dundalk, opinion | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
was mixed. It is despicable. He needs to own up to the reality | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
everybody else is living in. I like Gerry Adams but he admitted to being | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
a terrorist. He should not be add representative because the truth was | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
shown the other night in the documentary. After 30 years at the | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
helm of Sinn Fein, the party insists his position is secure. He is one of | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
the greatest political leaders in this island, a man of the highest | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
integrity, and a thoroughly decent human being. He has widespread | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
support within nationalist Ireland and within our party. But critics | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
aren't going away and at Stormont this month, the UUP will lead a | :09:42. | :09:50. | |
debate on the disappeared. The former Northern Ireland football | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
captain Martin O'Neill says he is looking forward to his new job, | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
managing the Republic's football team. Roy Keane will be his | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
assistant. Mark Simpson has been following the story. Is it all | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
smells so far? No walk-out today, but can they really work together? | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
And if they are successful what implications would that have or the | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
Northern Ireland team? I have been trying to answer some questions. My | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
report contained some flash photography. They used to work in | :10:24. | :10:31. | |
different dugouts, now together. The partnership between Roy Keane and | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
Martin O'Neill is the talk of the ball, and last night they talked | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
about it for the first time. Fantastic news, honoured that Martin | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
has asked me to help with the team. I might not look excited but I am, I | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
look forward to working with the players and trying to get to the | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
Euros. I'd know who is yen and who was Yang, but a marriage made in | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
heaven? I think I am the bad cop and he is the bad, bad cop. It is a | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
remarkable turnaround 13. In 2002, a bust up in the Republic squad led to | :11:11. | :11:19. | |
him flying home early. Can Northern Ireland prepare for the World Cup | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
game without their captain? But Keane spoke to Stephen Watson before | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
he left. I feel good, the conscious and I am happy to be going home to | :11:31. | :11:42. | |
see my family. Any regrets? No. But his relationship with Irish triple | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
authorities has been rebuilt. We agreed to put the past in the past | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
and that is all that the future now. That future is in good hands | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
according to former Northern Ireland player Neil Lennon. Two guys with | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
vast knowledge of the game, whether as players or managers, and | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
interesting to see how that steelworks. In Martin O'Neill you | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
have one of the best fish managers of the last 30 years and in Roy, you | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
have one of the best players of his generation. These are difficult | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
times for Northern Ireland fans. The glory days of the 1980s are a long | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
time ago and now with two big games in charge of the Republic's team, | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
will more young players from Northern Ireland decide to head | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
south? There was something similar in the Jack Charlton era when the | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
Republic became a big player and some young players started looking | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
towards them and it became easier to declare, but I don't see it changing | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
hugely overnight. The Republic's new partnership could all end in tears. | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
One thing is for sure, there is unlikely to be a dull moment. | :12:58. | :13:04. | |
Stephen, looking back at that old village, it is hard to believe Roy | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
Keane is back in the fold. You pinching yourself today? It was | :13:09. | :13:16. | |
definitely my shortest interview, definitely most intimidating, but | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
the storm that cause in footballing, it is hard to believe. Martin | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
O'Neill will speak at the weekend and then we will hear from Roy Keane | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
next week. Plain selling unlikely, entertaining yes. | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
Rejigging funding for schools has caused a lot of controversy. The | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
consultation period is over, but that has not stopped the education | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
committee from seeking views on what changes will mean for budgets. About | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
80 representatives from primary and secondary schools are at storm onto | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
this evening, and our education correspondent is there too. These | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
pupils will have to do some more work. They are here at the | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
invitation of the education committee, and they have answered | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
very as questions about this controversial change to the funding | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
in schools. They were invited by the chair of the education committee. | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
Mervyn, the consultation period is over, so what do you hope to | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
achieve? Grave concern has been expressed by the 80% of primary | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
schools who stand to lose a considerable part of their budget. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
The education committee will be using this evening as a means of | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
collating information from the schools, the concerned parents and | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
teachers as to how these proposals will affect them. On the basis of | :14:41. | :14:46. | |
the information here tonight, the education committee will respond to | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
this process. As far as I can see from those I have talked to, these | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
are people who are losing money. Nobody likes that. Not many schools | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
have gained money, so are you preaching to the converted? But is | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
not the case. We have schools who are gaining money, and it has been | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
interesting to see how many schools are gaining money and have still | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
said this is not a fair way to distribute money. That is why the | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
education Department and the Minister need to listen to the real | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
concerns concerning the way these proposals are currently framed. We | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
will talk to one of the principles now. What are you losing and how are | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
you going to pay for that? We are losing over ?20,000, 1.9% of our | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
school budget. To say that sort of money requires losing staff. And | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
ultimately, losing staff means less support for children who need it. If | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
you find yourself at one of these tables speaking to a teacher who is | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
gaining a lot of money, how will you talk them out of wanting that money? | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
I would not want to talk them out of the money, simply the method of | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
dispersing the money is not right. You can't take money from schools | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
that are already under pressure and give it to other schools. People I | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
have talked to don't want to take money from other schools. Like | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
ourselves, they want to raise achievement in every child, not just | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
the children in their school. The results of this meeting will be fed | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
back to the education committee, and no doubt they will then make | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
representations to the Education Minister. | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
UTV, the Belfast -based media company, has announced plans for a | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
major expansion in the Republic of Ireland. It is to set up a new | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
Dublin -based TV station which is expected to go on air in early 2015. | :16:43. | :16:52. | |
Audiences here know it as the place to watch soaps, News, X Factor and | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
the Champions League. The past ten years, UTV has been busily expanding | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
and diversifying, building up a group of radio stations across | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
Ireland and the UK. Now the attention is swinging back to TV. | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
They are setting up UTV Ireland, which will employ 100 people in the | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
Republic. That will have a major impact on Dublin's TV market. On | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
air, it will be known simply as UTV. It is a simple concept, to | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
provide the ITV network schedule, customised to meet the needs of | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
Irish viewers. It will broadcast nightly news programme, with | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
journalists based in all the main cities. But these will be the real | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
ratings grabbers and money spinners, the two big soaps. They are | :17:43. | :17:48. | |
currently screened by TV three, which will face a hole in its | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
schedules. Since TV three came along in the Republic, and they took the | :17:53. | :17:59. | |
ITV programmes like accommodation street -- Coronation Street and | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
Emmerdale, advertising fell away. If you like, they are moving back to | :18:05. | :18:14. | |
restore that to UTV. They know it works. The new station is a very big | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
investment. But it comes at a time when cuts are still being made at | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
UTV's Belfast operation. UTV are given a vote of confidence in the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Republic's economy. They believe it will deliver advertising revenues. | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
They say this venture should break even in its first year of operation | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
and deliver a profit in 2016. Now, have you ever heard of cyber | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
Monday? I had not until today, but this year's cyber Monday is December | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
the 2nd, the biggest day for online shopping. But more and more local | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
firms are exploiting e-commerce opportunities all year round. | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
Retail was a big casualty in the downturn. Shops went bust, and | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
others, like HMV, could only be rescued by reducing branches and | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
axing jobs. The recession has changed the high street, but so has | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
the rise of Internet shopping, and with earnings being squeezed, | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
consumers are more cost-conscious than ever. Just clothes and shoes, | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
mostly. It is handier going online and then it comes to your door. My | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
electronic stuff and clothes, I buy on the Internet. Pro but it does | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
average the high street. -- it does damage the high street. I try and do | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
my fair share. I come into town on a Wednesday to spread it around a wee | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
bit. Royal Mail and others have seen Internet shopping drive up parcel | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
volumes as more companies turn to e-commerce. This pharmacy branched | :20:00. | :20:04. | |
out five years ago, and has watched sales climb for make-up and | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
skincare. This year, we have seen good growth and we are running at | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
80% of last year's, so we are excited about what that means and | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
becomes the opportunities to grow further. The shop door never shuts | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
with online retail. This business makes websites and its clients sell | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
everything from golf clubs to tractor parts. Online allows you to | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
operate 24/7. You can sell lots of different products to countries | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
around the world. We have customers at the moment in China, Japan and | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
Australia. There is most of the new with e-commerce. There are about 50 | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
days until Christmas, the time of year retailers love. If last | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
December is anything to go by, when the UK spent more than ?800 million | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
online, a price could be paid on our high streets. | :21:06. | :21:15. | |
Sport comes from Ravenhill rugby ground tonight. What is happening? | :21:16. | :21:23. | |
Tonight, we are going to reveal BBC Northern Ireland's unsung hero for | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
this year. As you would expect, he comes from the world of rugby, and | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
an impromptu training session has begun. But from our unsung hero tour | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
racing hero. AP McCoy moved one step closer to that landmark 4000th | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
victory earlier today. The 18 time champion jockey moved on to number | :21:45. | :21:57. | |
399 win -- 3999 win, thanks to a late spare ride at Chepstow. | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
Now to a sportsman who is just as tough in the saddle. It is our top | :22:02. | :22:08. | |
cyclist Martyn Irvine. This year, he has been breaking records and | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
breaking bones. A first world title, a career | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
threatening leg break, and a miraculous comeback. 2013 has been a | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
dry matter give the golden boy of Irish cycling, and he has done it | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
all against the odds. If I was a world champion swimmer or track and | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
field, I would be way better off than a cyclist. The British system | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
is so well funded. It gives me a kick beating them, knowing what I | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
have done. Not beating them all the time, but just fighting. There is a | :22:46. | :22:53. | |
bit of satisfaction in that. Can Martyn Irvine do it 's my word, he | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
can! It is a brilliant run. World champion. The jersey will be on the | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
wall now for the rest of my days. That was awesome. Personally, I just | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
like the way I come back. It was proving that I am worthy. He has | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
done the business on the track, and now he is doing the Giro d'Italia in | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
front of a home crowd. It is massive. It is going to take over | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
the country for a few days. Cycling is booming in Ireland, but when that | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
comes in, it will shut the place down. That could be the motivation | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
for a tough winter's training ahead. While the likes of Martyn Irvine or | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
AP McCoy grabbed the headlines on a daily basis, BBC's unsung hero is | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
all about recognising volunteers in sports in different regions. This | :24:00. | :24:06. | |
year, our winner is Sam McBurney, the coach here. One of his players | :24:07. | :24:12. | |
is going to give Sam the award now. Congratulations. Tell us more about | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
this rugby team? It is a rugby club for those with learning | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
difficulties. They mainly come from a Down syndrome or autistic | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
background. We started seven years ago. First club of its type in | :24:31. | :24:38. | |
Ireland. We started as a six-week pilot project, as we told our wives. | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
And seven years on, we are going from strength to strength. There are | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
five other clubs in Ulster. Even the English schools followed our model. | :24:50. | :25:02. | |
James, tell us about this man. He is an amazing guy to work with and to | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
play with. He knows what he is doing. It is a family as well. We | :25:11. | :25:25. | |
are very happy for Sam to get the award. This is not just for | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
yourself, it is for the club as well. Exactly. I am just the guy who | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
does a lot of shouting on a Sunday morning. We are and credible team, | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
from committee members and fundraisers through to our young | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
volunteers who are signed up with our scheme which is a legacy from | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
the London 2012 Olympics. Incredible bunch of people. I am privileged to | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
receive this award. Thank you for joining us. More on AP McCoy's race | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
for 4000 victories tomorrow. It is a bit of a great picture | :26:04. | :26:15. | |
today. As we go into this evening, those skies start to clear. Tonight, | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
it could be quite chilly, particularly across the eastern side | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
of Northern Ireland. By the time we get to dawn, we could see a grass | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
frost across rural areas. Thursday will be a brighter day than today, | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
but it will also be blustery. The real feature is these strong winds. | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
That is being driven by the low-pressure system heading our | :26:51. | :27:00. | |
way. Tomorrow, we have showery conditions across the north and | :27:01. | :27:02. | |
west. The best of any brightness will be in the East. Temperature is | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
a little disappointing. Through the evening, the winds dropped off a | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
fraction. That means temperatures drop into single figures, but not as | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
cold as we have seen tonight. All of our recent weather has been driven | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
by that low-pressure heading towards us. Even as it moves away, there is | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
no major change in the setup to our weather. It is still coming from the | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
West, with another area of low-pressure following behind. It is | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
delivering a similar picture. Unsettled conditions continue on | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
Friday, another chilly day. It is that same setup all the way through | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
the weekend. The wind is coming out of the West. You will never be far | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
from a shower, so make the most of it. | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
That is it fair now. You can keep in contact with us via Facebook and | :28:03. | :28:06. | |
Twitter. Our late summary is at 10:25pm. Good night. | :28:07. | :28:11. |
