:02:04. > :02:07.sofa when he was attacked and somebody hit him on the head with a
:02:08. > :02:11.sharp incident -- and lament and police believe that could have been
:02:12. > :02:15.an axe but he was also stabbed and his house was ransacked with a
:02:16. > :02:21.number of items, including money being taken. The motive for Mr
:02:22. > :02:26.McAfee's murder is still unclear. This was a brutal attack and we are
:02:27. > :02:30.unclear at the minute and remain open-minded as to the motive but we
:02:31. > :02:36.know he was struck several times on the head with a heavy bladed emblem
:02:37. > :02:39.and consistent with an axe and stabbed repeatedly with an axe. This
:02:40. > :02:46.evening, police returned to Henderson Avenue to hand out fliers,
:02:47. > :02:50.appealing for information. Police say that, according to his family,
:02:51. > :02:54.Mr McAfee was a bit of a loner and police want to hear from anyone who
:02:55. > :03:01.might have known as McAfee, even as a friend or acquaintance, but
:03:02. > :03:04.particularly from anyone with any information about the movements of

:03:13. > :03:16.tonight pressing the case for Haass proposals dealing with flags,

:03:20. > :03:21.deal this evening. Unionists are still making up their minds.
:03:22. > :03:25.Alliance says all parties should implement what's already been

:03:34. > :03:42.up with New Year's resolutions. But on the last morning of 2013, there
:03:43. > :03:46.was no firm agreement. And no New Year cheers. But a rather sober end
:03:47. > :03:50.to months of talks and some advice from the diplomats, who say their 39
:03:51. > :03:54.page report is a good start to solving old problems in the New
:03:55. > :03:59.Year. If you are asking, do we have a foundation and a serious
:04:00. > :04:06.possibility for meaningful political progress? The answer is yes. Is
:04:07. > :04:09.there any guarantee? No. The document deals with three key areas
:04:10. > :04:13.- flags parading and the past. The flags issue proved the most
:04:14. > :04:16.difficult - there was no agreement. Instead, what emerged was a proposal
:04:17. > :04:21.for a commission on identities, culture and traditions. On parading
:04:22. > :04:24.there were a number of proposals, including the creation of two new
:04:25. > :04:27.bodies to deal with applications for parades, protests and commemorations
:04:28. > :04:35.and another to make decisions if there's no agreement. There's a
:04:36. > :04:41.proposal for a new code of conduct for those taking part in events and
:04:42. > :04:44.those opposing them. When it came to the past, there was no overall
:04:45. > :04:49.consensus, although the talks perhaps went further towards
:04:50. > :04:51.agreement than many expected. The main proposal involves a new
:04:52. > :04:58.historical investigations unit which could lead to prosecutions. A second
:04:59. > :05:00.strand would offer victims an information commission which, in
:05:01. > :05:07.turn, could provide some limited immunity from prosecutions. A
:05:08. > :05:10.proposal that could trip up some, but not, it seems, the sure-footed
:05:11. > :05:20.Sinn Fein leader, who says he is recommending the Haass paper to his
:05:21. > :05:26.party executive. This is the time to call it and Sinn Fein is calling it
:05:27. > :05:33.and we think that is what the people want. We think there is significant
:05:34. > :05:37.progress possible if these proposals are acted upon in good faith. This
:05:38. > :05:42.is not a matter of getting agreement, that is essential, but
:05:43. > :05:46.also implementing the agreement so I appeal to all of the parties,
:05:47. > :05:51.particularly the leaders, to be very clear about their position and not
:05:52. > :05:55.to fudge this opportunity. It was the row here at City Hall over the
:05:56. > :05:59.Union flag which led to the Haass talks process. A year on, there's
:06:00. > :06:04.still no agreement. Just a contribution to progress. How big is
:06:05. > :06:09.that contribution? That's for our politicians to decide. This evening,
:06:10. > :06:18.the SDLP Executive and Assembly team is gathering to formally endorse the
:06:19. > :06:23.package. A 27-year-old man who was stabbed in the neck is in a serious
:06:24. > :06:26.but stable condition in hospital. He was attacked by another man at
:06:27. > :06:31.Euston Parade in the Ballymacarret area of East Belfast just after 10pm
:06:32. > :06:37.last night. A police officer who was wounded in a knife attack has been
:06:38. > :06:41.released from hospital. He was cut in the face by what is thought to
:06:42. > :06:44.have been a Stanley knife when a patrol responded to a report of an
:06:45. > :06:48.assault at the loyalist protest camp on Twaddell Avenue. There had been a
:06:49. > :06:52.fight involving a teenager who had tried to damage a banner. The boy
:06:53. > :06:54.then ran off towards a nearby pub. A 16-year-old was arrested for
:06:55. > :07:01.wounding with intent and having an offensive weapon. Sinn Fein have
:07:02. > :07:05.condemned the latest street racing by car thieves in West Belfast as an
:07:06. > :07:10.orgy of destruction and intimidation of the community. On New Year's Eve
:07:11. > :07:13.a large group of young people gathered to watch stolen cars being
:07:14. > :07:19.driven at high speeds with handbrake turns on the Falls Road. Mervyn Jess
:07:20. > :07:24.reports. This is what the Lower Falls road
:07:25. > :07:33.looks like normally. This is what it was like late on New Year's Eve.
:07:34. > :07:37.These images of stolen cars roaring up and down the carriageway near the
:07:38. > :07:40.Falls swimming pool were captured by one of the dozens of onlookers who
:07:41. > :07:45.had gathered there for the spectacle. At least two vehicles are
:07:46. > :07:48.seen speeding up and down the road, doing handbrake turns and their
:07:49. > :07:54.engines screaming as smoke pours from them. People on the footpaths
:07:55. > :07:59.and standing on the road seem oblivious to the dangers of the cars
:08:00. > :08:05.spinning out of control. What happened with the other night was
:08:06. > :08:12.orchestrated by people who live in this area and who used social media
:08:13. > :08:14.to organise this and you have these people who care nothing about the
:08:15. > :08:18.residents who live here. And they put their lives at risk. This is
:08:19. > :08:23.another appalling example of that but the community, as families
:08:24. > :08:28.breathed through car crime demonstrates, they stand resolutely
:08:29. > :08:33.against those involved in this order threat local people. At one point a
:08:34. > :08:39.police vehicle drives through the scene. Some missiles are thrown and
:08:40. > :08:43.it drives on. However, more police arrive later and one of the stolen
:08:44. > :08:46.cars is abandoned before being hemmed in by the PSNI. The police
:08:47. > :08:50.say no arrests were made during the incident. In a statement, the PSNI
:08:51. > :08:53.says over the past year an operation targeting crime and anti-social
:08:54. > :08:56.behaviour in the Lower Falls has led to 400 people being arrested or
:08:57. > :09:02.reported to the Public Prosecution Service. The police also say levels
:09:03. > :09:15.of car crime have reduced in West Belfast as a result of their
:09:16. > :09:18.operations. This sort of thing went on throughout the years of the
:09:19. > :09:22.Troubles. However, it does show that despite the best efforts of people
:09:23. > :09:25.to steer young people away from this type of behavior, it's been passed
:09:26. > :09:31.on to a new generation of so called joyriders. Plenty still to come,
:09:32. > :09:45.including: Rory McIlroy on his plans for the year ahead. Good news if
:09:46. > :09:50.you're expecting a rise in interest rates this year. Any increase could
:09:51. > :09:55.be delayed, according to one of our main hikes. Rates are being kept
:09:56. > :10:00.rock button for four years as part of the response to the economic
:10:01. > :10:04.crisis. Here's Julian O'Neill. This man, Mark Carney, is important to
:10:05. > :10:08.anyone paying a mortgage. As governor of the Bank of England, he
:10:09. > :10:11.has a big say in what happens to interest rates. The bank will
:10:12. > :10:14.consider raising them from their historic low when UK unemployment
:10:15. > :10:23.falls to 7% - a target which is approaching on the horizon. Is a 40
:10:24. > :10:28.present chance we could see on implement falling by the end of 2014
:10:29. > :10:32.but he is only going to look at it then and will only consider that
:10:33. > :10:36.then. He will look at is this investment and confidence, so our
:10:37. > :10:40.prediction would be the middle of 2015. Holding off an interest hike
:10:41. > :10:45.would be welcome news in households with squeezed spending. Let's say
:10:46. > :10:48.you have a tracker mortgage with a lender charging interest at 2% above
:10:49. > :10:52.the Bank of England base rate. If your mortgage is for ?90,000 and
:10:53. > :11:00.there's 20 years left on the term, at the moment you'll pay around ?480
:11:01. > :11:06.a month. But when it eventually comes, a rise of 1% will increase
:11:07. > :11:10.that payment to around ?500. This mortgage expert is worried that some
:11:11. > :11:17.people have a shock in store. He says too many home buyers have not
:11:18. > :11:22.thought ahead. You do not care what it will cost in the future, you just
:11:23. > :11:27.wanted. I would be the same in that situation so I find that a lot of
:11:28. > :11:32.people, even with the best tuition, will not pay much attention to what
:11:33. > :11:35.future rates will be. Rates will eventually rise, even if the general
:11:36. > :11:39.consensus at the moment is that that will not be anytime soon. First, the
:11:40. > :11:43.Bank of England wants to see a sustained period of strong economic
:11:44. > :11:47.growth. In theory, household budgets should be in better shape to cope
:11:48. > :11:48.with a higher rate, but that is unlikely to ease many people's
:11:49. > :12:04.anxiety. We're stepping back in time. The
:12:05. > :12:08.Glasnevin Cemetery Museum in Dublin has opened an exhibition to mark the
:12:09. > :12:13.founding of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army. It is part
:12:14. > :12:16.of a series of commemorations marking the centenaries of events
:12:17. > :12:23.that shaped Ireland, North and South. Here's Shane Harrison.
:12:24. > :12:27.Glasnevin Cemetery from afar. It's here that many of those who gave
:12:28. > :12:30.their lives for the cause of Irish freedom are buried. And the museum
:12:31. > :12:33.is currently showing an exhibition to mark the founding of the Irish
:12:34. > :12:38.Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army. The loaned items on show were
:12:39. > :12:41.gathered after the museum asked people to bring in for evaluation
:12:42. > :12:46.things that they were told were of historic importance. They included
:12:47. > :12:50.uniforms, Irish Volunteer membership cards and a sawn-off shot gun that
:12:51. > :12:53.would have been carried around Dublin hidden under skirts by
:12:54. > :13:00.members of the women's organisation, Cumann na mBan. There's also a lot
:13:01. > :13:03.of interest in something Roger Casement, who grew up in County
:13:04. > :13:07.Antrim and who's buried here, once owned. The British diplomat turned
:13:08. > :13:13.Irish rebel was executed for treason after landing off Kerry from a
:13:14. > :13:18.German U-boat in 1916. He had been in Germany trying to get guns. His
:13:19. > :13:25.bible, which few knew of and was only recently confirmed as his, is
:13:26. > :13:29.also on display. He had this Bible in Germany and how it got back to
:13:30. > :13:37.Ireland is a mystery. It was either on his body when he landed in 1916
:13:38. > :13:41.or he left it in Germany and somebody sent it over afterwards. It
:13:42. > :13:44.would have in after the war by the time they sent it so it is a mystery
:13:45. > :13:52.of how it got acted Ireland. This exhibition will run until Easter
:13:53. > :13:59.2014. Still to come this evening, we will hear an updated weather
:14:00. > :14:11.forecast and we will also remember whether moments like this from 2013.
:14:12. > :14:16.For many people this is a time to start afresh - out with the old and
:14:17. > :14:20.in with the new. But perhaps like me you rarely stick to your New Year
:14:21. > :14:26.resolution. Helen Jones asks if the pledges we make now are a waste of
:14:27. > :14:32.time. Hitting the treadmill, giving up smoking and taking up something
:14:33. > :14:39.you'd like and gliding are among the top ten resolutions. What about you
:14:40. > :14:47.site? Mine is to keep going at slimming and stay there. Giving up
:14:48. > :14:51.cheese. Clear at the attic. That is always nice to do with the beginning
:14:52. > :14:57.of the year but I never get around to it. This is me at my happiest but
:14:58. > :15:03.it is the New Year so I'm thinking about cleansing and removing
:15:04. > :15:07.temptations. How difficult is it to stick to the resolutions? I am
:15:08. > :15:17.always saying I will go to the gym but I never do it. I got my
:15:18. > :15:22.membership but I never went. Giving up alcohol even for the month of
:15:23. > :15:25.January is also on the list. There are some people who have all the
:15:26. > :15:31.best intentions in the world after Christmas. They go off it for a few
:15:32. > :15:35.weeks and then by the middle of January they are ready to go out
:15:36. > :15:39.again! If that is something that is really important to you and you feel
:15:40. > :15:43.you have failed and you will never achieve it, it can leave you feeling
:15:44. > :15:47.hopeless and helpless and you should avoid that. You can do it, it just
:15:48. > :15:56.takes planning and some help. Get that Adam cleaned! You will be fine!
:15:57. > :16:07.Well I might have to now. As women, this what I'm giving up. Chocolate!
:16:08. > :16:20.I know uses to buy another new tie! Sought my golf swing out and stop a
:16:21. > :16:23.lifelong ambition, I think. It seems England's cricket team are
:16:24. > :16:26.about to call on a former Irish international to try to to avoid an
:16:27. > :16:29.Ashes series whitewash. Stephen Watson is here.
:16:30. > :16:33.Boyd Rankin from Bready in County Tyrone is on the cusp of making his
:16:34. > :16:36.Test debut for England. He's a six foot eight fast bowler who has
:16:37. > :16:39.formerly played World Cup cricket for Ireland. Rankin agonised over
:16:40. > :16:42.quitting his home country in 2012 but it seems the decision is about
:16:43. > :16:46.to pay off. England captain Alastair Cook has confirmed Rankin is very

:17:05. > :17:10.a big occasion for the golfer Rory McIlroy? He revealed he is to marry
:17:11. > :17:13.Danish tennis player Caroline Wozniacki. Rory proposed to her in
:17:14. > :17:17.Sydney where she is preparing for the Australian Open. They sent this
:17:18. > :17:34.tweet on social media on New Years Eve. But Rory is also planning a big
:17:35. > :17:38.year on the golf course? So he told us when we caught up with him on a
:17:39. > :17:41.flying visit home. That of course was just before news of his
:17:42. > :17:47.engagement broke. Rory says he's planning a major winning 2014. Never
:17:48. > :17:51.mind popping the question over the festive period. Rory McIlroy had
:17:52. > :17:59.lots of questions to answer himself. He was visiting children and their
:18:00. > :18:04.families at a local charity Lodge in Newcastle, a new facility for cancer
:18:05. > :18:08.care. It would be quite a while before he is back on again as he is
:18:09. > :18:18.about to start another global golfing season. It starts with hard
:18:19. > :18:22.practice in Dubai. This year I have no equipment changes so it would be
:18:23. > :18:26.a stable start to the year. I will concentrate on getting ready to
:18:27. > :18:30.play. I would not say the start of this year was a distraction but
:18:31. > :18:33.there were more things to think about whereas this year it would be
:18:34. > :18:40.more settled and I am really looking forward to. And the 24-year-old is
:18:41. > :18:48.determined to add to his successes so far. I won a major championship
:18:49. > :18:54.for two years running but I think another championship would be nice
:18:55. > :18:59.and I will try and make up for what they didn't achieve. I will put
:19:00. > :19:06.myself in contention and that is the main thing. I am so much better
:19:07. > :19:12.under pressure than I once was. I know that I will have a great
:19:13. > :19:17.chance. I am confident with my game, confident of where it is at and
:19:18. > :19:22.where it is going. I did not have the greatest of seasons and 2013 but
:19:23. > :19:28.I feel like I will make up at this year. It is going to be busy as

:22:00. > :22:10.spot. Ballymena and Ards played out a goalless draw. Portadown scored a
:22:11. > :22:15.run-1 draw with Crusaders. I wonder if many of the waterlogged pitches
:22:16. > :22:19.will be any better by the weekend. They seem pretty soggy. We will have
:22:20. > :22:23.a weather update shortly which includes a warning. But first we
:22:24. > :22:33.look back at some of the big whether moments from 20 13.
:22:34. > :22:36.Because of where we live, in the north Atlantic, we normally have a
:22:37. > :22:39.temperate climate and not the extreme weather that others
:22:40. > :22:42.experience at a similar latitude. But 2013 brought some of those
:22:43. > :22:44.intense weather elements to our doorstep. Barra Best has been
:22:45. > :22:47.looking back. It's been a remarkable year for
:22:48. > :22:50.weather. We endured the coldest spring for more than three decades,
:22:51. > :22:53.we finally enjoyed a bbq summer, and winter storms battered the coast.
:22:54. > :22:56.Winter hit hard in mid-January when snow led to power cuts for
:22:57. > :23:04.thousands, it delayed and cancelled flights and provided the first big
:23:05. > :23:10.test of winter for gritters. We have been gritting throughout this
:23:11. > :23:16.morning and we expect to be doing so this evening and tonight.
:23:17. > :23:19.The bigger snow event hit two months later in March. It provided postcard
:23:20. > :23:22.scenery and lots of fun, but also devastation for sheep farmers in
:23:23. > :23:24.particular who lost thousands of animals to the elements. Army
:23:25. > :23:26.helicopters delivered food to livestock, while emergency services
:23:27. > :23:34.delivered supplies to people stranded. We have had people who
:23:35. > :23:38.have not been able to get dedications so we have arranged to
:23:39. > :23:42.deliver that and we have also used the helicopters and inaccessible
:23:43. > :23:50.areas to try and get supplies to those hands. It was in July that the
:23:51. > :23:53.weather went from one extreme to the next. The summer heatwave sent
:23:54. > :23:59.temperatures soaring to 30 degrees. We come from the sap of Italy so it
:24:00. > :24:02.is usually very warm. The warm spell lasted for more than two weeks
:24:03. > :24:04.putting many European hotspots in the shade. But, the heat sparked
:24:05. > :24:13.thunderstorms which caused flooding for some. It got deeper and deeper.
:24:14. > :24:16.It was incredible. In the space of a few minutes, there was flooding all
:24:17. > :24:19.over the house. Several months passed before the winter storms
:24:20. > :24:22.struck in December. Winds with gusts more than 80 miles an hour battered
:24:23. > :24:29.the coast. They brought down power lines and trees. They even caused
:24:30. > :24:33.part of this shop to collapse. It sounded like a car going into the
:24:34. > :24:41.world. I am still in shock. I have not stop shaking. I can't believe
:24:42. > :24:44.it. Questions now surround the weather of 2014 and what it'll
:24:45. > :24:54.bring. Unfortunately it is quite simple impossible to predict. It
:24:55. > :24:56.might be impossible to predict the weather in the long term but we can
:24:57. > :25:00.in the short term. And it's not looking good in the
:25:01. > :25:03.next few days. These pictures show some of the sandbags put in place in
:25:04. > :25:08.the Sydenham area of East Belfast in advance of a tidal surge tomorrow
:25:09. > :25:10.and over the weekend. The police say they will be issuing further advice
:25:11. > :25:19.in the coming hours and we will keep you up to date. Angie, the immediate
:25:20. > :25:25.outlook isn't good? Al lot of whether coming up in the
:25:26. > :25:30.next few days. I hope you made the most of today because there is more
:25:31. > :25:34.on the way. This is the reason. This is the area of low pressure sitting
:25:35. > :25:38.in the Atlantic and it will deepen rapidly as it moves towards the
:25:39. > :25:45.North West. The winds will strengthen considerably. It will
:25:46. > :25:49.bring heavy rain. Rain is heading in this evening and it is likely to be
:25:50. > :25:54.quite heavy. The rooms are picking up from the south. The rain will
:25:55. > :25:58.clear away overnight but there is more to come tomorrow. There is
:25:59. > :26:03.another weather warning in place. That warns of localised flooding but
:26:04. > :26:08.that is only part of the problem. The is also a warning for strong
:26:09. > :26:12.winds. They will pick up tonight. It turns try tonight and it will be
:26:13. > :26:18.chilly in place, low enough for some ground frost. Tomorrow there is no
:26:19. > :26:30.rain to come, some heavy and blustery showers. -- more rain. The
:26:31. > :26:33.winds will pick up late morning. The rainbow move eastwards and some of
:26:34. > :26:40.that will be quite heavy. As it crosses the hills, do not surprised
:26:41. > :26:46.that turns wintry. Winds will be in excess of 60 miles an hour. That
:26:47. > :26:55.combines with high spring tides giving cause for concern. The rain
:26:56. > :27:02.starts to move eastwards by afternoon. The winds will still cost
:27:03. > :27:08.around Gail Force and they will bring heavy and blustery showers. It
:27:09. > :27:13.will feel cold during the day. We get some respite for Saturday and it
:27:14. > :27:22.looks as if it will be a fine day. But there is another weather system
:27:23. > :27:27.moving in. We have an early warning for heavy rain and again there is a
:27:28. > :27:36.risk of localised flooding. That's the situation for the next few days.
