:00:15. > :00:27.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: the police stepped up
:00:28. > :00:34.patrols after a wave of attacks on foreign nationals in Belfast.
:00:35. > :00:40.Martin Corey is released after four years in prison without trial.
:00:41. > :00:45.There is a helping hand for families struggling to pay for first holy
:00:46. > :00:50.Communion days. Find out what a new report says
:00:51. > :00:54.about the people who make us laugh. Ulster prepare for their biggest
:00:55. > :00:56.test so far this season, away to the Leicester Tigers.
:00:57. > :00:58.And there's still a rain warning in place for parts of the north and
:00:59. > :01:13.east tonight. The police say the latest spate of
:01:14. > :01:16.attacks on the homes of foreign nationals living in East Belfast is
:01:17. > :01:18.orchestrated and designed to strike fear into the hearts of minority
:01:19. > :01:27.communities. BBC Newsline's Mervyn Jess is at the Community Relations
:01:28. > :01:30.Council office in Belfast. Last night, there were three attacks
:01:31. > :01:34.on houses in the Sydenham area of the city. Earlier today, I spoke to
:01:35. > :01:39.one of the victims, a polish woman, and she told me how she was going to
:01:40. > :01:47.bed when the bricks came through her windows.
:01:48. > :01:50.A brick, broken glass and boarded up windows, evidence of another home
:01:51. > :01:54.targeted by those involved in hate crime. Three houses of foreign
:01:55. > :02:01.nationals were damaged overnight in East Belfast. The front window of
:02:02. > :02:07.one property was shattered by a brick. In another incident, two
:02:08. > :02:15.windows were smashed. The young Polish mother who lives there says
:02:16. > :02:23.that she was shocked by the attack. I went to bed at midnight. The voice
:02:24. > :02:29.woke me up, somebody smashed the window. My mum and her husband woke
:02:30. > :02:37.up. We phoned the police. My stepfather, he saw two guys run
:02:38. > :02:44.away. Has there been trouble like this before? Never. My mum has lived
:02:45. > :02:51.here two years. She has lived in the area six years. The police say the
:02:52. > :02:54.attacks are being orchestrated by relatively small number of people
:02:55. > :02:58.with seven homes targeted in the last few days. These attacks have
:02:59. > :03:05.the intent of causing damage, fear and injury. Total disregard for whom
:03:06. > :03:11.may be in those homes, including young children. Support groups are
:03:12. > :03:17.offering CCTV. These attacks, although deliberate and targeted, we
:03:18. > :03:21.believe they are the work of a small group of people. It is not a
:03:22. > :03:28.reflection of the overall way in which communities have integrated.
:03:29. > :03:33.Community groups are involved in reaching out to the visitors who
:03:34. > :03:36.come to stay with us. Many of them contribute positively to our
:03:37. > :03:41.economy. They work full time, they contribute to the health services,
:03:42. > :03:47.schools. They do, in many places, the superb job. It stands in stark
:03:48. > :03:54.contrast to those who would engage in this type of activity. Some sake
:03:55. > :03:59.-- this lady says that the attack has forced her family to consider
:04:00. > :04:05.the position. I will be staying but my mum is thinking about going.
:04:06. > :04:08.Police patrols are being stepped up in an effort to deter those involved
:04:09. > :04:14.in the recent spike in hate crime in this part of East Belfast. With me
:04:15. > :04:22.at the Community Relations Council as the chairman. First of all, what
:04:23. > :04:27.do you think can be done to help combat this behaviour? First of all,
:04:28. > :04:31.the attacks that have taken place, I think they are appalling. From what
:04:32. > :04:35.I know of the area, they are not representative of the vast majority
:04:36. > :04:39.of people there. Cabaret appeal to the people in the area that any of
:04:40. > :04:48.the nation may have should be passed to the police? -- can I appeal. It
:04:49. > :04:53.does not represent the community. What can the council do? Along with
:04:54. > :04:59.many other issues, we have been working on it. We are happy to go
:05:00. > :05:02.out and meet with groups there and local people to talk about what the
:05:03. > :05:09.community response should be. It is very important to understand the
:05:10. > :05:12.community response should be. It is misapprehensions and miss that are
:05:13. > :05:17.around -- and myths that are around. What is the motivation of people who
:05:18. > :05:23.get involved in this type of activity? There are potentially a
:05:24. > :05:28.lot of different motivations. I do not know the specifics. But there is
:05:29. > :05:32.no motivation that justifies this sort of liberty and violence visited
:05:33. > :05:39.on families. It is not the sort of thing we want to see # row this sort
:05:40. > :05:44.of violence visited on families. Godfrey, it you are in a
:05:45. > :05:50.neighbourhood watch area. What can you do to help people? All we can do
:05:51. > :05:57.is support the families, let them know that their neighbours are 100%
:05:58. > :06:06.behind them. If there is anything anybody else wants to know, all they
:06:07. > :06:12.need to do is ask the police or us and we will be there. Nobody was
:06:13. > :06:21.seriously injured but it does not make it any less terrifying for the
:06:22. > :06:29.victims. We apologise for the break-up in the picture earlier.
:06:30. > :06:33.The man who died after he was knocked down by a bus yesterday
:06:34. > :06:36.evening was a 64-year-old from the Kilkeel area of County Down. Robert
:06:37. > :06:38.Morris was hit on Killowen Road in Rostrevor shortly after 5pm and the
:06:39. > :06:43.police have appealed for any witnesses to contact to them. Seven
:06:44. > :06:45.people have now died on the roads in Northern Ireland since the start of
:06:46. > :06:48.the year. The prison authorities have been
:06:49. > :06:51.accused of trying to prevent media coverage of last night's release of
:06:52. > :06:54.the Lurgan republican Martin Corey. He had been held for nearly four
:06:55. > :06:58.years without charge after being deemed a risk to the public, but was
:06:59. > :07:02.never told why. Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney
:07:03. > :07:06.reports. Martin Corey was released from
:07:07. > :07:10.prison in 1992 after serving 19 years for the IRA murder of two
:07:11. > :07:14.police officers. Nearly four years ago, police arrested him at his
:07:15. > :07:18.home. He was sent back to prison on the basis that he was deemed a risk
:07:19. > :07:22.to the public because of secret intelligence information. Martin
:07:23. > :07:25.Corey was not charged with any offences or told about the nature of
:07:26. > :07:30.any evidence against him. His lawyers argued that his detention
:07:31. > :07:35.amounted to determine without trial -- internment without trial. An
:07:36. > :07:41.independent panel yesterday said he should be released. The plans are
:07:42. > :07:48.how that would be done was changed after a BBC camera crew arrived. I
:07:49. > :07:50.received a phone call from one of the prison officials when I was on
:07:51. > :07:56.my way to collect him. They indicated there were press at side
:07:57. > :08:01.the gate and they offered me the alternative to collect him at the
:08:02. > :08:06.train station. Martin Corey was driven to the train station in an
:08:07. > :08:10.unmarked van and handed over to his solicitor. Members of a campaign
:08:11. > :08:14.group have accused the prison authorities of trying to minimise
:08:15. > :08:18.publicity around his release because his detention had become a political
:08:19. > :08:24.embarrassment. His solicitor said his concern is that his client still
:08:25. > :08:29.does not know why he was imprisoned. He was the only individual I am
:08:30. > :08:36.aware of held under such concerns. He never knew the reason for his
:08:37. > :08:41.detention. The 63-year-old could be returned to prison if he breaches
:08:42. > :08:44.the conditions of his release. It is understood those conditions include
:08:45. > :08:48.a ban on speaking to the media, a step relation he cannot live in his
:08:49. > :08:51.hometown of a set period of time and that he will wear an electronic tag
:08:52. > :09:02.to allow his movements to be monitored -- a stipulation that he
:09:03. > :09:04.cannot live in his hometown. The Deputy First Minister Martin
:09:05. > :09:07.McGuinness says he believes discussions on the Haass proposals
:09:08. > :09:11.need to be completed by St Patrick's Day. Earlier this week, the five
:09:12. > :09:14.main party leaders met to discuss a way forward on the draft agreement
:09:15. > :09:18.on flags, parades and the past. They are due to meet again next week. In
:09:19. > :09:22.an interview for tonight's The View programme on BBC One, Mr McGuinness
:09:23. > :09:25.said he believed the Americans have an end date in mind. I tell you what
:09:26. > :09:33.I think. This needs to be done before St Patrick's Day. The 17th of
:09:34. > :09:36.March? As far as the Americans are concerned, every year, we are
:09:37. > :09:43.invited to the White House to meet with the president. I do not have
:09:44. > :09:53.any doubts that the focus is very much on what is happening here at
:09:54. > :09:56.the moment. Martin McGuinness. Community workers in part of
:09:57. > :09:59.Londonderry have set up a first communion shop for Catholic families
:10:00. > :10:02.finding it difficult to pay for their child's big day. The
:10:03. > :10:05.organisers say some parents feel under pressure to spend. Here's our
:10:06. > :10:08.North West reporter Keiron Tourish. The report begins with a community
:10:09. > :10:17.service. Father, we ask you to less these gifts of red wine. The
:10:18. > :10:20.catholic children, it is one of the biggest days in their lives. Some
:10:21. > :10:24.parents have used the occasion to splash out and spend hundreds, even
:10:25. > :10:32.thousands of pounds, do make sure it is done in style. This is the other
:10:33. > :10:36.side of the story. This community Centre is now learning dresses and
:10:37. > :10:43.suits which have been donated to struggling families. We lend the
:10:44. > :10:53.dresses out and we ask them to bring the dress back. If you can afford
:10:54. > :10:57.to, contributed the dry cleaning. If you can't, no problem. Talking to
:10:58. > :11:06.the mothers, I am getting prices from ?500 up to ?1000. That is what
:11:07. > :11:13.some of them have to spend. One day for the first communion. I think it
:11:14. > :11:17.is a disgrace. I took last year this centre said it provided 50 outfits,
:11:18. > :11:22.around 40 dresses and ten suits, for children making their first holy
:11:23. > :11:28.Communion. Judging by the demand so far this year, it expects that
:11:29. > :11:32.figure will be more than double. This family run business has been
:11:33. > :11:36.operating for 60 years and says like many big social occasions spending
:11:37. > :11:42.can vary among families. Ella Makro we try and help people by letting
:11:43. > :11:47.them pay a deposit and then there is no time limit for them to pay it off
:11:48. > :11:52.-- we try and help people. Tough times at Ayr.
:11:53. > :11:56.A priest says there were attempts to try and change the system and
:11:57. > :12:02.promote school uniforms or a small sash. Some parents strongly
:12:03. > :12:07.objected. People have spent over ?1000 on a dress and also people
:12:08. > :12:14.have been seen getting limousines. And of course, fake tans. A lot of
:12:15. > :12:20.people seem to have the focus but there are a significant number of
:12:21. > :12:23.people focusing on the wrong thing. The church says it wants the focus
:12:24. > :12:32.to be where it should be the sacrament of first holy Communion.
:12:33. > :12:34.It's estimated that around 1.8 million tourists visited Northern
:12:35. > :12:37.Ireland in the past year. While there's enormous interest in the
:12:38. > :12:40.maritime and industrial heritage, many people still want to find out
:12:41. > :12:43.about the Troubles and its legacy. Our reporter Kevin Magee has been on
:12:44. > :12:48.the tourist trail. These are the images tourist chiefs
:12:49. > :12:52.want the world to see. Titanic Belfast and the town's Causeway or
:12:53. > :12:56.amongst the town's flagship attractions drawing more and more
:12:57. > :13:01.tourists to shores. There is an ambitious target of more than 2
:13:02. > :13:04.million visitors by 2016. Many will come to the gleaming new tourist
:13:05. > :13:07.centres. And while not heavily promoted on the tourist board
:13:08. > :13:12.website, there is still an enormous appetite for what is described as
:13:13. > :13:16.troubles tourism. Norman has been taking visitors around elf asked for
:13:17. > :13:24.the last 14 years. Today, he has two Australians at the back of his cab.
:13:25. > :13:28.-- around Belfast. They think the political side of things... They
:13:29. > :13:33.came here as part of a European tour and are keen to find out more about
:13:34. > :13:41.our troubled past. Hold on, let me get the focus. It is very
:13:42. > :13:46.educational. I didn't realise there was still such a divide between the
:13:47. > :13:50.Catholics and Protestants. It was really interesting. Certainly,
:13:51. > :13:54.coming here, we been told by a lot of friends from a tourist
:13:55. > :13:57.perspective, it is quite safe. It certainly felt that we're travelling
:13:58. > :14:01.around. In a statement, the tourist boards
:14:02. > :14:05.is that while it supports positive aspects of cultural tourism product,
:14:06. > :14:09.and while some tourists may have an interest in our recent past,
:14:10. > :14:13.political tourism is not a key motivator for visitors to come here.
:14:14. > :14:16.People on the ground say it is the big draw, with nine out of ten
:14:17. > :14:22.visitors asking to see places associated with the troubles. That
:14:23. > :14:28.fascination with Northern Ireland's past has led to one company taking a
:14:29. > :14:32.more controversial approach. They bring visitors to some of the most
:14:33. > :14:36.horrific scenes of the troubles, including the Abercorn bar and the
:14:37. > :14:41.bomb site of bloody Friday. Criticised by some as a territory,
:14:42. > :14:47.those who run it say it is important not to rush out the -- brush out the
:14:48. > :14:52.atrocities. Part of the picture of this place is not being displayed.
:14:53. > :14:55.If you doesn't Belfast, people come for shopping. You can go to
:14:56. > :15:00.Edinburgh or Dublin. There is a story which has she and influence
:15:01. > :15:05.this city and society and the people in it. So, while more foreign
:15:06. > :15:09.tourists than ever are coming to see the gleaming new buildings that
:15:10. > :15:13.represent Northern Ireland's future, there is still a fascination
:15:14. > :15:16.with our troubled past. Stepping back further in time now
:15:17. > :15:19.and archive material relating to the Easter Rising and the War of
:15:20. > :15:22.Independence is being put on the internet for all to see this
:15:23. > :15:26.evening. It's an opportunity to find out from Irish government documents
:15:27. > :15:33.if any of your ancestors took part. Our reporter Julie McCullough has
:15:34. > :15:41.been having a look. It was one of the most turbulent
:15:42. > :15:45.times in Irish history. 1916-1923, the years before and after Ireland
:15:46. > :15:49.gained independence. Although well documented in the past, nearly
:15:50. > :15:52.300,000 new files are to be made available to the public on the
:15:53. > :15:57.Republic of Ireland's military archives website. The collection
:15:58. > :16:02.being released this evening forms part of the Government's centenary
:16:03. > :16:05.of commemorations. The material being released sheds light on I's
:16:06. > :16:11.political and military history from the early 20th century. The material
:16:12. > :16:15.will be viewed for the first time by members of the public and shows his
:16:16. > :16:20.true from the ground up. -- Ireland's political history.
:16:21. > :16:27.There is plenty online to interest people here. This collection covers
:16:28. > :16:32.1922 and 1923 which are very important years in Northern Ireland.
:16:33. > :16:37.It is the years when the Northern Irish state was defending itself
:16:38. > :16:42.against an offensive led by the IRA in the south. I am hoping we get a
:16:43. > :16:46.lot more information on bold type of activities.
:16:47. > :16:49.Although this archive is called the Military Service Pensions
:16:50. > :16:53.Collection, it contains so much more than just details on who did or did
:16:54. > :17:02.not get a pension. For example, if I type the word Belfast into the
:17:03. > :17:10.search engine... And I go into organisations and membership files,
:17:11. > :17:17.I can access a document that shows me who from Belfast was in the IRA
:17:18. > :17:20.in the 1920s. The site officially goes live at 7:30pm this evening.
:17:21. > :17:35.Not all documents will be available right away. More will be added over
:17:36. > :17:38.the next few years. The short list for this year's
:17:39. > :17:41.Oscars has been revealed and a movie partly filmed in County Down has
:17:42. > :17:45.received four nominations. Philomena tells the true story of an Irish
:17:46. > :17:49.woman's search for her son who was forcibly removed from her when he
:17:50. > :17:51.was a baby. The crew spent four days filming in Killyleagh, Bryansford
:17:52. > :17:54.and Rostrevor, where the lead actress, Dame Judy Dench, met some
:17:55. > :17:57.real-life long lost relatives. She has been nominated for the best
:17:58. > :18:01.actress award. The movie is up for Best Picture and two more awards. It
:18:02. > :18:04.has already been nominated for a number of BAFTA awards.
:18:05. > :18:08.Mental health is a serious matter and not something to be laughed at.
:18:09. > :18:11.So it's a bit ironic to discover that a survey of comedians has found
:18:12. > :18:16.they have high levels of psychotic personality traits. The research by
:18:17. > :18:20.Oxford University was carried out across the world. Here at home, Mark
:18:21. > :18:30.Simpson has been talking to some comics to see if the findings should
:18:31. > :18:34.be taken seriously. Everywhere they go, they try to make
:18:35. > :18:42.people smile. It is likely to be here in the UK City of Culture.
:18:43. > :18:47.CHEERING We've found the Protestants, there
:18:48. > :18:51.you go in! New research suggests most comedians
:18:52. > :19:02.have an abnormal personality. First question is the next answer! Those
:19:03. > :19:05.needed for humour are similar to traits seen in people with
:19:06. > :19:09.psychosis. Is it true? You cannot just ask a comedian if they are
:19:10. > :19:16.psychotic. Or can you? Are you psychotic? Not today. I am feeling
:19:17. > :19:20.quite good today, Mark. There is something to this. Most comedians I
:19:21. > :19:24.know are a bit strange. Colin Murphy is not a normal person and comedians
:19:25. > :19:29.can be narcissistic, masochistic and also, if you fail at comedy, you
:19:30. > :19:34.die, that's what they say. You go well at comedy, you kill. You have a
:19:35. > :19:37.few major issues involved to stop you have to be a little bit
:19:38. > :19:40.strange? Disposal but at some others are
:19:41. > :19:47.normal. Some others. Luckily, we are not all mad. Only
:19:48. > :19:53.most others. She is taking the research and issue of mental health
:19:54. > :19:57.seriously. She believes that humour can be a form of therapy. I think it
:19:58. > :20:01.is a way of dealing with the absurdity of life. Because if you
:20:02. > :20:06.want to be about Paul faced about it, it feels about like a ladder out
:20:07. > :20:10.of the darkness, comedy. Because if you just sit in the, " how awful
:20:11. > :20:20.everything is and how we everything is." It could be slightly
:20:21. > :20:26.depressing. It is not a sport, it is just that he has lost! Behind the
:20:27. > :20:31.jokes, some comedians may not always be as confident as they look. It is
:20:32. > :20:34.just the way they tell them. Mad, sad but also funny.
:20:35. > :20:37.Sport now with Gavin Andrews and it's less than 48 hours until
:20:38. > :20:40.Ulster's crunch Heineken cup tie. Yes, in any other pool in the
:20:41. > :20:43.competition Mark Anscombe's side would already be assured of
:20:44. > :20:49.finishing top and so would have secured a home quarterfinal. But
:20:50. > :20:52.Pool Five is going to go to the last game. Ulster must now avoid defeat
:20:53. > :20:56.at Welford Road against Leicester Tigers. It's time to front up in
:20:57. > :21:04.what will be an almighty physical struggle.
:21:05. > :21:09.If Ulster are going to break down Leicester this weekend, they are
:21:10. > :21:14.going to have to do it here. The scrum sorts out the man from the
:21:15. > :21:18.boys. The big names now they need to deliver. The scrum line-up is going
:21:19. > :21:25.to be big for other big for them so it is important to do the job. We
:21:26. > :21:29.are brought here to do a job and we have been thereabouts the last 23
:21:30. > :21:31.years and it is just important you put some hard-working and want
:21:32. > :21:37.something, the end of the day, you want something to lift up and silver
:21:38. > :21:43.medals don't quite cut it in the end. We are looking to go first
:21:44. > :21:45.place and that starts on Saturday. A home quarterfinal in this
:21:46. > :21:49.competition could be the difference. We need to make sure that words

:22:03. > :22:07.ourselves by getting that home quarterfinal. -- three of the four
:22:08. > :22:11.teams. We feel that there are not many teams that will come here and
:22:12. > :22:15.beat us. As I was saying earlier in the week, 14,000 here is pretty
:22:16. > :22:19.impressive. What a team would do would club with Coppermine. It is
:22:20. > :22:26.something that we would love to do and it was an objective at the start
:22:27. > :22:32.of the year. -- would blow minds. They will have to do it at Welford
:22:33. > :22:36.Road. The last time Mr lost a pool game in Europe at home was 2006. The
:22:37. > :22:38.challenge could hardly be bigger. And tomorrow night, Thomas Niblock

:22:46. > :22:48.Championship in Abu Dhabi. He's three under par, a shot behind the
:22:49. > :22:51.Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley. Before he started his bogey free
:22:52. > :22:55.round of 70, Rory McIlroy received a gift of a traditional Emirate Bisht,
:22:56. > :23:00.a gown given to men who have recently become engaged. He then
:23:01. > :23:04.made a solid start in his first event of 2014 to finish two under
:23:05. > :23:08.par. It was a round that included two birdies but might have been even
:23:09. > :23:16.better if this approach had found the hole. It's got a little bit
:23:17. > :23:19.close. Here we go, it runs and runs. But the Hollywood man is well
:23:20. > :23:21.placed, three shots off the early lead.
:23:22. > :23:24.It's early in the season, but Tyrone's Gaelic Footballers sent out
:23:25. > :23:27.a statement for the Championship with an emphatic 24 point victory in
:23:28. > :23:31.the Power NI McKenna Cup over Armagh. Mickey Harte's side hit five

:24:28. > :24:32.delight. His team seemed capable of scoring at will. They were very
:24:33. > :24:35.good. The space was there. He ran into the space and played with
:24:36. > :24:39.control and finishing was good. That happened and sometimes you have
:24:40. > :24:41.nights like that and I am sure our competitors will learn a lot from it
:24:42. > :24:46.as well and they will have better days. You know they have not got
:24:47. > :24:49.their full side out by any means either so when they get all their
:24:50. > :24:57.players back, they will be back on the road again also.
:24:58. > :24:59.It may be back to the drawing board for Armagh but every other county
:25:00. > :25:03.will be worried. Kris Meeke is in second place after
:25:04. > :25:06.the first day of racing at the Monte Carlo Rally, the opening event of
:25:07. > :25:09.this year's World Championship. The Dungannon man is 38.8 seconds behind
:25:10. > :25:18.Frenchman Bryan Bouffier, and one second ahead of former formula one

:25:26. > :25:30.The weather with Angie. Hello. We have some heavy showers in
:25:31. > :25:34.the forecast and some fog, icy patches in the forecast but not all
:25:35. > :25:38.in the same place at the same time. Rain has been the main issue for
:25:39. > :25:41.some parts today. It will continue to be the case tonight. We still
:25:42. > :25:46.have low pressure with us. It is sitting over the top bus with quite
:25:47. > :25:50.a flag flow. Any heavy showers that come along are likely to be quite
:25:51. > :25:56.slow moving and prolonged. -- quite a flag flow. We have that weather
:25:57. > :25:59.warning in place. There is the risk of localised flooding tonight and
:26:00. > :26:03.into tomorrow morning. Not everywhere. Most of the showers have
:26:04. > :26:06.been across County Durham and County Antrim. It is still going to be
:26:07. > :26:16.eastern areas which are going to be most prone. Down and Antrim again
:26:17. > :26:20.but maybe parts of County Armagh and extending into County Londonderry
:26:21. > :26:22.also. Some of those showers will be heavy and prolonged. Further west,
:26:23. > :26:27.it is that bit drier but these areas could be prone to fog patches
:26:28. > :26:31.forming as temperatures drop. That means we could have some frost and
:26:32. > :26:36.icy patches also. For these parts, but could be a bit of a problem for
:26:37. > :26:40.the morning rush-hour. We could have one or two visibility issues and it
:26:41. > :26:43.could be a bit slippery on some untreated roads and pavements also.
:26:44. > :26:48.At least it is mainly dry. The further north you go and even parts
:26:49. > :26:50.of the east, we still have some of those showers lingering into
:26:51. > :26:54.tomorrow morning and some could still be quite heavy. They will
:26:55. > :26:58.eventually start to ease away as we head into the afternoon. By that
:26:59. > :27:01.stage, apart from some light showers around, it is generally drier. A
:27:02. > :27:06.little bit brighter but not particularly warm. For tomorrow
:27:07. > :27:12.night, it is going to be another cold one as those showers fade away.
:27:13. > :27:14.In the towns, two Celsius. In the countryside, possibly below
:27:15. > :27:19.freezing. We are looking at quite a bit of frost possibly and some icy
:27:20. > :27:24.patches and fog. That is how we start Saturday but, by the look of
:27:25. > :27:29.things. Once again, it looks as though there is some rain swinging
:27:30. > :27:30.in from the south and east. Still uncertainties about the movement of
:27:31. > :27:34.that rain. Our late summary is at 10:25pm. You
:27:35. > :27:38.can also keep in contact with us via Facebook and Twitter. From BBC
:27:39. > :27:44.Newsline, goodnight. There is a lot of discussion about hate crimes.
