:00:00. > :00:16.Good evening, the headlines on BBC goodbye from me

:00:17. > :00:32.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline. Liam Adams is sentenced to

:00:33. > :00:36.16 years in jail but will serve eight in jail. The health minister

:00:37. > :00:49.orders a year review into complaints about a County Antrim home. Private

:00:50. > :00:54.tutoring for the transfer test. I am in Larne this evening to discuss the

:00:55. > :00:58.pros and cons. The Hong Kong deal sees Germany,

:00:59. > :01:01.Belgium, Switzerald the USA sign up for the North West 200.

:01:02. > :01:04.Last week, parts of NI were shivering in the snow. Today,

:01:05. > :01:05.temperatures hit double figures - what could be next? I'll be

:01:06. > :01:15.temperatures hit double figures - with the latest forecast.

:01:16. > :01:18."Too little too late" - the words of Aine Adams today, as her father was

:01:19. > :01:24.sentenced to 16 years for raping and sexually abusing her more than 30

:01:25. > :01:27.years ago. 58-year-old Liam Adams of Bernagh Drive in West Belfast will

:01:28. > :01:41.most likely serve eight years, under 50% remission. Will Leitch was in

:01:42. > :01:45.court for BBC Newsline. Adams walked into a Belfast courtroom at many

:01:46. > :01:52.times this year but October the 1st saw his final moment of freedom.

:01:53. > :01:58.That he was convicted of sexually abusing his latest daughter when she

:01:59. > :02:01.was less than ten. The jury was and told he fought extradition and

:02:02. > :02:10.that's a first trial stopped in April this year for legal reasons.

:02:11. > :02:16.The judge listed the sentence for the offences. It amounts to 16 years

:02:17. > :02:21.in prison because his crimes were committed so long ago, he qualifies

:02:22. > :02:26.for permission and could serve eight years. The judge said that only a

:02:27. > :02:31.Adams simply wanted an acknowledgement from her father that

:02:32. > :02:35.40 had done was wrong. He has always denied this acknowledgement and

:02:36. > :02:39.continues to do so and she went on, however she at least knows that the

:02:40. > :02:43.jury must have found her evidence is compelling as they believed her.

:02:44. > :02:51.Because Liam Adams is the brother of Gerry Adams, this case has attracted

:02:52. > :02:56.great interest. There are now investigations into the Sinn Fein

:02:57. > :03:01.president's role but the police ombudsman and the Attorney General.

:03:02. > :03:04.In a statement this evening, on your Adams said she sought an

:03:05. > :03:09.acknowledgement of the wrongs done against. For coming the sentence she

:03:10. > :03:16.said it is still much too little, too late. For his part, Liam Adams

:03:17. > :03:21.shockers had and he left the dock and was seen to be laughing.

:03:22. > :03:26.A former Bessbrook scout leader has been jailed for 11 years for

:03:27. > :03:28.sexually abusing five children. 44-year-old Colin Finnegan from

:03:29. > :03:32.Sloan Hill Mews in Lurgan was convicted of a total of 59 charges,

:03:33. > :03:39.including indecent assault and gross indecency. Judge Gordon Kerr QC

:03:40. > :03:42.noted that Finnegan started to abuse when he was 12 years old and that he

:03:43. > :03:49.continued to abuse for a 16-year period, until he was 28. Mr Finnegan

:03:50. > :03:54.has been put on the Sex Offenders' Register for life.

:03:55. > :03:57.The prosecution has been giving its closing speech in the trial of four

:03:58. > :04:01.brothers accused of double murder and arson. Toby Hedworth QC told the

:04:02. > :04:05.jury that Martin, Niall, Christopher and Stephen Smith had "lied and lied

:04:06. > :04:12.to this court in an attempt to save their own skins". The brothers have

:04:13. > :04:15.accepted being at the house in Tassagh in County Armagh but deny

:04:16. > :04:21.murdering Thomas O'Hare and Lisa McClatchey in 2006. The defence

:04:22. > :04:26.teams will begin their closing speeches tomorrow.

:04:27. > :04:29.A review into complaints about a County Antrim nursing home

:04:30. > :04:34.stretching back almost a decade has been ordered by the Health Minister.

:04:35. > :04:36.The BBC has spoken to a whistle-blower

:04:37. > :04:38.The BBC has spoken to a home, and first raised allegations

:04:39. > :04:44.of poor practice and patient neglect in 2005. Our health correspondent

:04:45. > :04:57.Marie-Louise Connolly has this exclusive report. This is cherry

:04:58. > :05:01.tree nursing home in Carrickfergus. Eight years ago, a woman who worked

:05:02. > :05:06.there raised their concerns about the home and to all the relevant

:05:07. > :05:11.authorities including the home's owner. But the situation remained

:05:12. > :05:15.unchanged. The whistle-blower who wishes to remain anonymous said

:05:16. > :05:21.basics like ensuring residents were fired were sometimes ignored. It

:05:22. > :05:26.concerned me that patients's food was left and not enough staff to

:05:27. > :05:33.assess the patient's with their food so they were not in courage to eat.

:05:34. > :05:37.Among the whistle-blower 's allegations are that patients who

:05:38. > :05:41.couldn't feed themselves were left to go hungry. Patient's dignity was

:05:42. > :05:47.set aside and residents were forced to endure what was described as a

:05:48. > :05:52.horrible toileting regime. Patients had to wait for a long time and they

:05:53. > :05:59.were soaking wet. It was going on to the floor, over them and the pound

:06:00. > :06:06.could not hold more your own. Others were also concerned about standards.

:06:07. > :06:11.In 2009, it came to the attention of the regulatory authority. Since

:06:12. > :06:16.then, it's been the subject of 20 inspections. Normally it's only

:06:17. > :06:17.required to carry out two per year. But then the authority raised

:06:18. > :06:23.concerns over patients safety and But then the authority raised

:06:24. > :06:28.ordered the home owner to tackle protection of vulnerable adults and

:06:29. > :06:32.lack of leadership. The inspection reports also pointed to a concern

:06:33. > :06:56.over the care and treatment of residence. A lack of responsibility

:06:57. > :06:59.by staff, and staff levels and competency, and had to deal with the

:07:00. > :07:02.risk of fire. In 2012, the Northern health trust carried out a review of

:07:03. > :07:04.how they had handled complaints and said lessons had been learned. But

:07:05. > :07:07.last year, cherry tree owner Doctor Dean Haran, a pharmacist was

:07:08. > :07:09.summoned to a meeting at which a terrace -- raised the potential for

:07:10. > :07:11.prosecution. The regulatory body said urgent action was needed to

:07:12. > :07:13.keep patients safer. A year later, inspectors were back at the home and

:07:14. > :07:19.issued 14 requirements and recommendations relating to patient

:07:20. > :07:23.medication. In May, Doctor Haran was again summoned to the art to a eight

:07:24. > :07:28.to attend a serious concerns meeting about cherry tree. Details of that

:07:29. > :07:33.meeting have not been made public. The BBC asked the owner for a

:07:34. > :07:37.response but he didn't respond to the BBC. However, a manager

:07:38. > :07:42.contacted the BBC's Talkback programme and said things have

:07:43. > :07:47.improved. Things have come up and we are dealing with them. We put a new

:07:48. > :07:56.manager into position in July and she's fantastic. We are working

:07:57. > :08:01.closely with the RTI a. In the statements, the RQ IEA said in light

:08:02. > :08:05.of the ongoing review, it can't comment but it continues to monitor

:08:06. > :08:09.the quality of the service. 12 months ago, I was contacted by the

:08:10. > :08:13.whistle-blower. Several months later I began to question the

:08:14. > :08:18.authorities. Now the health minister has called for a review to provide

:08:19. > :08:26.an independent assessment but steps have been taken to address concerns

:08:27. > :08:29.raised back in 2005. And that any poor practices identified. That

:08:30. > :08:33.review is being carried out by the RQ IEA and is expected to be

:08:34. > :08:38.published in the New Year. According to the whistle-blower, a majority of

:08:39. > :08:42.staff or date dictated to helping residents and any of the current

:08:43. > :08:51.staff are the subject of any complaints. The First Minister

:08:52. > :08:54.hearts called on the ministers of a loyalist parade in Belfast on

:08:55. > :08:57.Saturday to put out a clear message they want a peaceful and dignified

:08:58. > :09:00.demonstration. A group calling itself Loyal Peaceful Protesters has

:09:01. > :09:03.permission for 10,000 people to take part in what the demonstrators

:09:04. > :09:13.describe as a human rights march. Chris Page has the story. This city

:09:14. > :09:17.centre parade in September was organised by a group using the name

:09:18. > :09:21.loyal pot peaceful at us is. It passed off without incident. They

:09:22. > :09:24.haven't said to their leaders are all made official public statements

:09:25. > :09:28.but now the First Minister has said they should put out a message that

:09:29. > :09:32.they want the demonstration on Saturday to be dignified and

:09:33. > :09:36.non-violent. Whether they make their views known by coming forward

:09:37. > :09:39.themselves or they do it by statement to speak on behalf of

:09:40. > :09:43.their behalf doesn't matter. I just want a clear message coming out from

:09:44. > :09:48.the organisers as to how they want Saturday to go. And in the House of

:09:49. > :09:53.Commons, the Secretary of State asked the protesters to consider how

:09:54. > :09:57.the mass would affect traders. I would urge everyone to make sure

:09:58. > :10:00.that their protest is not only peaceful but entirely lawful and

:10:01. > :10:04.complies with the decision of the parades commission. And they should

:10:05. > :10:09.call again as to whether this is a wise thing to do. It will be

:10:10. > :10:13.disruptive but despite that, Belfast is open for business and I know

:10:14. > :10:16.there will be many people out in the city centre during their Christmas

:10:17. > :10:25.shopping despite the protest destruction. So would shop is going

:10:26. > :10:32.to the city centre on Saturday? Everybody must do their own thing. I

:10:33. > :10:42.will stay away from the town, to be honest. It's ruining businesses in

:10:43. > :10:47.the town. Yes, I will be here. The bonfire will be more scary than the

:10:48. > :10:51.parades. The last Saturday in November is usually the most busy in

:10:52. > :10:57.the year here. The parades commission has ruled the parade must

:10:58. > :11:01.leave the City Hall at noon and must minimise the impact on businesses.

:11:02. > :11:04.We asked 12 Unionist politicians in Belfast if they would go to the

:11:05. > :11:10.protest. Only two said they thought they would. We tried to contact

:11:11. > :11:16.several more Unionist councillors in the city of didn't return calls. The

:11:17. > :11:19.organisers have permissions for 5000 marchers on 5000 supporters to go

:11:20. > :11:24.from the City Hall here down Royal Avenue to the Shankill Road but it

:11:25. > :11:32.isn't clear if the crowd will be that big. Father Alec Reed,

:11:33. > :11:38.described as pivotal in the in the days of the peace process has been

:11:39. > :11:42.buried out of a funeral mass. A broad swathe of political opinion

:11:43. > :11:46.was represented at the service. It was said that whatever your adapter

:11:47. > :11:54.list priest knew about peacemaking was learned over four decades on the

:11:55. > :11:58.streets of West Belfast. John Hume of the former STL P leader and Sinn

:11:59. > :12:04.Fein president Gerry Adams came to Canada today to pay their respects

:12:05. > :12:06.to the man who helped to bring them together politically. This woman and

:12:07. > :12:09.Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams came to Canada today to pay their

:12:10. > :12:17.respects to the man who helped to bring them together politically. The

:12:18. > :12:22.final amount to hundreds of. The Deputy First Minister was also there

:12:23. > :12:28.with colleagues as was the Ulster Unionist minister Mike Nesbitt.

:12:29. > :12:32.Others also attended. Among the senior clergy were Bishop Alan

:12:33. > :12:42.Abernethy of the Church of Ireland and the president of the Methodist

:12:43. > :12:49.church. Former peace leaders from an earlier era aimed at ending the

:12:50. > :12:56.balance but it was Father Reid's that was brought into focus. He

:12:57. > :13:00.sought too soft on hearts and find words to persuade the estranged to

:13:01. > :13:07.talk to one another and take chance on one another, to common ground. He

:13:08. > :13:16.believed that the work better than we had become. The records that

:13:17. > :13:20.father reads invitation to come to Dublin to meet the Queen. You're

:13:21. > :13:25.invited Father Allen to Dublin to meet the Queen. You're

:13:26. > :13:30.dinner. One of my fondest memories of Father Alec will be of Father

:13:31. > :13:37.Alec giving Queen Elizabeth the thumbs up. With the church bell

:13:38. > :13:45.tolling, Father Reid was born away from Hezbollah led town for the last

:13:46. > :13:53.time. Next week we will see the last of this years and regulated transfer

:13:54. > :13:57.tests for primary school children. More than 7000 children have been

:13:58. > :13:59.involved. The arguments for and against academic selection have been

:14:00. > :14:03.highlighted before on this programme but today we are concentrating on

:14:04. > :14:08.private tutoring. Donna was at a private class in Larne this

:14:09. > :14:12.afternoon. I am in a class in Larne. Those

:14:13. > :14:17.preparing for the academic I am in a class in Larne. Those

:14:18. > :14:21.tests get extra help here. You are the teacher, why do those children

:14:22. > :14:26.need that extra tuition? Sometimes, no matter what goes on in school,

:14:27. > :14:30.and I work with schools a lot. I work with teachers and I think they

:14:31. > :14:34.do a great job, but sometimes there are some kids that get left behind a

:14:35. > :14:39.bit. Sometimes the parent themselves wants do the best I can they can for

:14:40. > :14:42.their youngster, we provide a range of English and maths learning

:14:43. > :14:48.programmes geared for the individual, and what we are about is

:14:49. > :14:53.the development of competence, and confidence, where the kid can, you

:14:54. > :15:00.know reach their potential. So it is not about the academic test as such,

:15:01. > :15:03.it is it is about a solid grounding in mathematics principles. For many

:15:04. > :15:05.it is about the tests and getting it. You are a secondary school

:15:06. > :15:09.teacher, yet your daughter it. You are a secondary school

:15:10. > :15:15.one of the academic selection tests. She also was privately tutored. Why

:15:16. > :15:20.did you go down that route? I suppose I represent the parents who

:15:21. > :15:26.are against academic selection but when faces the option of getting

:15:27. > :15:32.their child into their local school, I need to prepare child for that. I

:15:33. > :15:39.feel the academic selection is fundamentally and woe roly wrong,

:15:40. > :15:42.again tutors does skew the system. It is weighted against the less

:15:43. > :15:48.well-off children, however, I fell that my daughter needed to go in,

:15:49. > :15:53.and be prepared for an exam. It doesn't occur in classes any more,

:15:54. > :15:57.in schools, since the abolition apparently of the transfer test in

:15:58. > :16:00.2008, so she needed to be prepared in the same way I would prefer

:16:01. > :16:03.2008, so she needed to be prepared pupils for an exam. I felt that

:16:04. > :16:09.tutoring was the only way, but it does, you know, sit, I suppose

:16:10. > :16:14.awkwardly with me, I feel I have compromised my principles in doing

:16:15. > :16:17.so. Dorothy, your young son is going do the academic test next year.

:16:18. > :16:24.Already you are I thinking he is not going to go down the extra private

:16:25. > :16:28.tuition route. Give me your reasons for that? My son will be doing the

:16:29. > :16:33.test. I have confidence in him. I feel that if I wasn't happy with him

:16:34. > :16:37.passing the test, or his ability, it is academic ability, he shouldn't do

:16:38. > :16:42.it. He shouldn't be put under the pressure that children are put under

:16:43. > :16:48.at 11. Do you think he would be at a disadvantage if he dud get that

:16:49. > :16:50.extra help? Not at all. I have full confidence in him at school and

:16:51. > :16:54.teachers to prepare him for that. confidence in him at school and

:16:55. > :16:58.Different opinion, different parents with different choice, you can add

:16:59. > :17:04.your opinion and thoughts on the topic of private tuition on our

:17:05. > :17:09.Facebook page. Still to come on the programme. Before seven. A treasure

:17:10. > :17:19.hunt in County Antrim. Find out what this man found in a field.

:17:20. > :17:22.Organiser of motor cycling's north-west 200 have been on a hunt

:17:23. > :17:26.of their own to secure some big napes for next year's race. Mark is

:17:27. > :17:30.here. Yes, that hunt has taken them all

:17:31. > :17:35.the way to Hong Kong, believe it or not. Not that we ever doubted the

:17:36. > :17:39.north coast east global appeal but the deal delivered in Hong Kong

:17:40. > :17:48.Hazard cemented its reputation. Following a recent visit to the

:17:49. > :17:55.Macau Grand Prix some top riders have been signed up for next year.

:17:56. > :18:00.The Macau Grand Prix attracts the top ridesers. It is the most famous

:18:01. > :18:04.street circuit an hour from long con. Now some of the riders want to

:18:05. > :18:08.try the roads of Northern Ireland. If you see the teams here, the

:18:09. > :18:12.presentation, if you see the set up they have, there is no better road

:18:13. > :18:16.racers here in the world. You talk to numerous riders and they have

:18:17. > :18:22.heard of the north-west 2 hundred. They have seen the DVD. It is good

:18:23. > :18:25.from our point of view. And BBC Northern Ireland's television

:18:26. > :18:31.coverage, which is streamed round the world, helped lure European

:18:32. > :18:35.champion Didier Grams to the north Antrim coast for the first time It

:18:36. > :18:39.is on German television, they show it from the north-west 200.

:18:40. > :18:44.is on German television, they show to them, look at this, it is close,

:18:45. > :18:48.it is like the international road racing, and he was looking at it and

:18:49. > :18:56.he said, yeah, yeah, let's go, we want to go there. And I looked to

:18:57. > :19:00.you too. And that is 200 miles an hour. And the riders are autumn

:19:01. > :19:07.coming next May for different reasons.

:19:08. > :19:14.I enjoy the speed. Speed is all I am up for, because everybody in Europe,

:19:15. > :19:19.or in my area knows what is the north-west 200. Coming from

:19:20. > :19:22.California, history is like not in our repertoire, going there and

:19:23. > :19:25.seeing castles next to a place you are racing and it is good

:19:26. > :19:29.experience. We are away. Great start. So after come pee Peting in

:19:30. > :19:31.experience. We are away. Great the Far East. The north-west is up

:19:32. > :19:39.next. -- competing. Hope they bring some Californian

:19:40. > :19:45.weather. A disappointing Olympics and a series of injuries had seen

:19:46. > :19:48.our top judo player drop out of the top 50 but now Lisa Kearney is

:19:49. > :19:53.climbing up thing rankings and targeting a medal at the

:19:54. > :19:57.Commonwealth Games in Scotland. This has been a year interrupted by

:19:58. > :20:03.injury for Lisa Kearney but on her return to action she won gold and

:20:04. > :20:10.silver at two World Cup events. I was delighted to come back and

:20:11. > :20:15.perform bell. It I hadn't been on long, so to come in and be

:20:16. > :20:19.performing well and to win gold, it was good, it was good performance,

:20:20. > :20:24.it was good Commonwealth preparation I fought a few of the girls who I

:20:25. > :20:29.know at the Commonwealth and I beat them, so that was really good.

:20:30. > :20:35.Especially just being back from injury. Lisa will step up to compete

:20:36. > :20:40.at bigger competitions in Japan and Korea. My world ranking was 58

:20:41. > :20:43.before the tournament because I have been injured. I have not been

:20:44. > :20:48.competing. It went from 58 to 35 in the last two weeks. So it is a good

:20:49. > :20:51.jump and that will help me get seeded at the other tournaments I

:20:52. > :20:56.will be doing. It is a good Saturday but I would like to up my ranking

:20:57. > :20:59.again. The Commonwealth Games is a major target and she will look to

:21:00. > :21:03.emlate her former training partner Lisa Bradley who won a medal for

:21:04. > :21:07.Northern Ireland 12 years ago The Commonwealthings are massive. They

:21:08. > :21:11.are so prestigious. It will be a tough event. Judo is going to be

:21:12. > :21:15.very strong in these Commonwealth Games. I certainly would like to be

:21:16. > :21:20.taking a medal. Who knows what is going to happen in sport, but I

:21:21. > :21:25.certainly will be aiming for a medal, and just to enjoy the whole

:21:26. > :21:30.experience, it is going to be such a big thing, and I am happy to be part

:21:31. > :21:36.of it. So Rio and a second Olympics can weight for wait for now. Glasgow

:21:37. > :21:41.2014 is the focus. She is off to south-east air sha shortly where we

:21:42. > :21:48.wish her well. It would seem there is no bottom to this man's reservoir

:21:49. > :21:52.of talents. Enough has captained advertise -- captained his team to

:21:53. > :22:01.victory and in a few days time he will attempt to go where no Donegal

:22:02. > :22:04.man has gone before. No matter what age you are Gaelic

:22:05. > :22:08.football is central to life No matter what age you are Gaelic

:22:09. > :22:12.Glenswilly. The club might only have backbench established in the early

:22:13. > :22:17.1980s, but since then it has become the cornerstone of the parish.

:22:18. > :22:24.People probably outside of Donegal wouldn't be sure where it is. It it

:22:25. > :22:29.is nestled in the hills. We don't even have a town, we have a tiny

:22:30. > :22:33.village, and there is three pubs in the village and we have two petrol

:22:34. > :22:37.stations and the club is perfect location, in the heart of the glen.

:22:38. > :22:43.It is a real focal point of the community. The club is also home to

:22:44. > :22:49.Neil Gallacher and Michael Murphy, one of the best Gaelic footballers

:22:50. > :22:55.in the country. What a start Donegal! What a start!

:22:56. > :22:59.Just one of your friends, and you don't think, when you go walking

:23:00. > :22:59.down the street, people turn their heads,

:23:00. > :23:04.down the street, people turn their it is different for people who see

:23:05. > :23:08.him every day, he is a genuine fellow. Giving you good advice

:23:09. > :23:14.throughout the year, and young players, you know, as you say, who,

:23:15. > :23:19.like myself, never play County, and to play alongside them, it is just,

:23:20. > :23:25.lifetime moment so it is. Behind every County star is a club where it

:23:26. > :23:32.all began. And nothing beats winning with the people you grew up with.

:23:33. > :23:37.And we have been there and bring you that report later in the week.

:23:38. > :23:42.Finally, snooker Belfast Joe Swail twice a world semifinalist has

:23:43. > :23:46.suffered a whitewash at the hands of Michael White in the first round of

:23:47. > :23:50.the UK Championship in York. You might say snookered by his sport of

:23:51. > :23:52.choice. He will bounce back. They are tiny, hardly the same size

:23:53. > :23:56.choice. He will bounce back. They one pence piece, but a lot more

:23:57. > :24:01.valuable. Two items of silver dating back to the Vikings have been

:24:02. > :24:05.unearthed in County Antrim. More than one thousand years old, they

:24:06. > :24:10.were found in a field and today a coroner in Belfast declared them

:24:11. > :24:14.treasure trove. They may not look like treasure, but

:24:15. > :24:24.these little chunks of silver date back more than 1,000 years. It was

:24:25. > :24:29.this man who found them. Having got the permission of the landowner of

:24:30. > :24:32.the field, here on the soldier's town road, he went about with his

:24:33. > :24:36.metal detector until he struck silver. He returned about a month

:24:37. > :24:41.later and found another piece. Although only the size of a large

:24:42. > :24:48.sugar cube, what he had unearthed was a rare chunk of Viking history.

:24:49. > :24:53.You never know what you might find. 99.9% of the time I dig it is

:24:54. > :24:58.rubbish. But the 0.1% it is something of historical interest for

:24:59. > :25:03.me. That is what it is about. Trying to uncover some history, and instead

:25:04. > :25:06.of those items lying on the ground, rotting away, it would be better for

:25:07. > :25:13.them to be visible for people, on a display in a museum. A local expert

:25:14. > :25:19.helped identify them One looks like a sugar cube, it was cut from a bar

:25:20. > :25:24.of silver. But the other came from an arm ring or we might think in

:25:25. > :25:28.terms of a bracelet. Although it is tiny, it is decorated, so we are

:25:29. > :25:32.sure that is what it came from. Today the objects were declared

:25:33. > :25:36.treasure and will be sent to the British Museum for valuation, but

:25:37. > :25:42.the long-term hope is that they will be back here on display. So while

:25:43. > :25:46.finders may not be keeper there's is such a thing as buried treasure.

:25:47. > :25:50.Great story, the man that found them is a baker. Normally used to dealing

:25:51. > :25:54.with hundreds and thousand, that is what he will be hoping those are

:25:55. > :25:58.worth, I have to say. Time for the weather.

:25:59. > :26:03.It is warmer today? Yes, milder today. Temperatures hit double

:26:04. > :26:07.figures. Ten and 11 degrees in a few places. It will stay mild tonight.

:26:08. > :26:13.You might be able to turn the central heating down a nudge. Lots

:26:14. > :26:19.of cloud round so no good for star-gazing. Will be thicker cloud.

:26:20. > :26:22.But further south it should stay dry. Now the mild weather continues

:26:23. > :26:28.into tomorrow, again, there will be a lot of cloud and drizzle. A change

:26:29. > :26:29.on the way for Friday, colder winds arriving but that will mean brighter

:26:30. > :26:32.skies and sunshine. arriving but that will mean brighter

:26:33. > :26:36.So high pressure has been looking after the weather for ages now, it

:26:37. > :26:40.slips away tomorrow, and this weather front will bring rain,

:26:41. > :26:44.following that cold, gusty winds for Friday. But only for a while. The

:26:45. > :26:48.cold air lasts into Saturday, and then during Sunday, the second half

:26:49. > :26:51.of the weekend, that high is back in place, and the dry weather will

:26:52. > :26:55.continue into the beginning of December. So tomorrow it is cloudy,

:26:56. > :27:00.drizzly in places and it will be grey, but one or two spots will see

:27:01. > :27:04.a blink or two of blue sky. Maybe sunshine, the damp drizzly weather

:27:05. > :27:08.more likely up to the north coast for parts of Londonderry and the

:27:09. > :27:11.Antrim hills. Temperatures in most places once again hitting double

:27:12. > :27:15.figures and the winds will be light. Most of that drizzly weather will

:27:16. > :27:20.tend to edge away from the north coast later in the day. So tomorrow,

:27:21. > :27:27.evening, the Lumiere festival gets off in Londonderry. Hopefully it

:27:28. > :27:31.will be dry by then. The winds mild. Storm night, after midnight, there

:27:32. > :27:34.will be rain coming south and the wind will pick up, and that is when

:27:35. > :27:38.we get into the colder, brighter weather for Friday. Much colder in

:27:39. > :27:42.the winds, strong winds, gales in places and even a few wintry showers

:27:43. > :27:50.for the hills but then it settles down again. Thank you. Our late

:27:51. > :27:52.summary is at 10.25 but for now from even on the team, it is good night.
