:00:00. > :00:20.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: The parents of a baby who
:00:21. > :00:28.needed to be flown to England for heart surgery say their journey was
:00:29. > :00:32.terrifying. Added that moment, I just thought
:00:33. > :00:36.that this plane is going to go down and I am going to die.
:00:37. > :00:39.The court begins hearing evidence in the trial of three men accused of a
:00:40. > :00:41.series of trial sex offences. The DUP again deny Ian Paisley was
:00:42. > :00:49.pushed out as party leader. The awards keep coming for Tony
:00:50. > :00:57.McCoy. We hear from our Champion Jockey.
:00:58. > :01:01.Northern Ireland is to get a new plane as an air ambulance. The
:01:02. > :01:04.aircraft, which will have a pressurised cabin, will be used to
:01:05. > :01:14.transfer patients to hospitals in Britain. The news comes after we
:01:15. > :01:20.were told here on BBC Newsnight about the journey of a sick Belfast
:01:21. > :01:24.baby. She said she feared for their lives when the plane transporting
:01:25. > :01:26.them to London made an unscheduled landing in Liverpool. Our Health
:01:27. > :01:31.Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has the story.
:01:32. > :01:35.Laochra McGinn was born on the September the September 27th last
:01:36. > :01:42.year. Within days, he was readmitted with problems, fever with jaundice.
:01:43. > :01:47.They were told their baby required life-saving surgery. Within an hour,
:01:48. > :01:50.they were on an air ambulance plane to London, but it never made it as
:01:51. > :01:53.the pilots had to make an unscheduled landing in Liverpool.
:01:54. > :02:00.His mother says she feared the worst. I just kept looking at my
:02:01. > :02:05.baby am going, "this is unreal". I was thinking of the other four kids
:02:06. > :02:09.that were going to be left behind. At that moment, I thought this plane
:02:10. > :02:12.is going to go down and we were going to die. According to Kate
:02:13. > :02:17.McGinn, conditions on board were not what she expected. When we arrived
:02:18. > :02:24.at the airport, there was a small group pain -- small blue plane
:02:25. > :02:27.waiting for us. Doctor Taylor was putting blankets around us, saying
:02:28. > :02:34.it was very cold and air was coming in the windows. There was a whole
:02:35. > :02:41.the size of a 10-pence piece in the door, you could see outside, into
:02:42. > :02:46.the clouds. I was standing on the left side, to stop the draft coming
:02:47. > :02:53.in. It is unacceptable, the way they expect people to travel. Since 2006,
:02:54. > :02:56.the Air Ambulance has made around 1,500 troops. According to the
:02:57. > :03:00.health board which commissions the present private company, there has
:03:01. > :03:04.been one other unscheduled landing. In a statement, they said it takes
:03:05. > :03:11.patient safety very seriously and continued...
:03:12. > :03:17.It said it was concerned to hear Mrs McGinn's description of what
:03:18. > :03:20.happened, which they will be raising with the provider. According to the
:03:21. > :03:26.local charity, their calls for better Air Ambulance transport have
:03:27. > :03:30.been ignored. Families and parents affected by congenital heart disease
:03:31. > :03:33.today are horrified by what has happened to the McGinns and feel
:03:34. > :03:39.that their concerns, which we have voiced the past 18 months, have been
:03:40. > :03:42.ignored. The McGinns' story raises another important question. What
:03:43. > :03:46.cross-border arrangements have been put in place by Belfast and Dublin?
:03:47. > :03:52.The Health Minister announced last year that before a review into
:03:53. > :03:56.cardiac services, Dublin clinicians would help their colleagues in
:03:57. > :04:00.Belfast. Six weeks later, nothing has changed. But a spokesman said
:04:01. > :04:03.that is it is suspected that surgeons from Crumlin, near Dublin,
:04:04. > :04:10.will provide children's hard surgery in Belfast in the coming weeks. --
:04:11. > :04:13.heart surgery. What we want to see is a network service between Belfast
:04:14. > :04:18.and Dublin and we want to see changes coming very soon. If, in
:04:19. > :04:23.fact, the surgery does not get sustained in Ireland, then we are
:04:24. > :04:28.looking at about 300 patients a year having to travel out of Ireland.
:04:29. > :04:33.Meanwhile, baby Laochra recovers at the children's Hospital in Belfast.
:04:34. > :04:38.A gift from the medics in Liverpool may influence what football team he
:04:39. > :04:41.grows up supporting. And later in the programme, we will
:04:42. > :04:44.have details about some extra money for the health service.
:04:45. > :04:47.The trial has begun of three men charged with a catalogue of sex
:04:48. > :04:51.offences against children, including rape. The alleged victims are a
:04:52. > :04:56.brother and sister and those who stand accused are their father,
:04:57. > :05:00.uncle and family friend. The jury sitting in Coleraine were told by
:05:01. > :05:05.the brother that on one occasion, a card game was used to decide who
:05:06. > :05:09.would carry out the abuse first. There are details in this report
:05:10. > :05:14.which you may find upsetting. Here's our north-east reporter David
:05:15. > :05:18.Maxwell. The court heard the alleged victims
:05:19. > :05:24.are a brother and sister who reported abuse to police in 2012.
:05:25. > :05:28.They allege it was carried out by their father, uncle and a family
:05:29. > :05:31.friend over a prolonged period. The three defendants cannot be
:05:32. > :05:36.identified in order to protect their alleged victims. Outlining the case,
:05:37. > :05:38.the prosecution warned the jury does during this trial, they will hear
:05:39. > :05:43.harrowing details, including allegations from one of the victims
:05:44. > :05:48.that on one occasion, the men used a card game to decide who would carry
:05:49. > :05:52.out the abuse first. There are over 50 charges in this case, including
:05:53. > :05:56.rape, gross indecency, serious sexual assault and cruelty. The
:05:57. > :06:00.court also heard from one of the alleged victims. He graphically
:06:01. > :06:02.described a litany of serious sexual assaults which he alleges were
:06:03. > :06:08.carried out between the ages of seven and 11. He also described
:06:09. > :06:11.physical assaults, including having a cigarette stubbed out on the back
:06:12. > :06:16.of his hand and being forced to drink water until he couldn't
:06:17. > :06:23.breathe. The case is expected to last 4-6 weeks.
:06:24. > :06:26.Plenty coming up this evening, including:
:06:27. > :06:29.More young people are living longer with their parents in Northern
:06:30. > :06:39.Ireland than anywhere else in the UK. I will have a full report.
:06:40. > :06:43.The DUP have again rejected their former leader Ian Paisley's version
:06:44. > :06:47.of how he stepped down from the First Minister's position. No one
:06:48. > :06:51.from the party has appeared in front of cameras, but it has been a day
:06:52. > :06:59.windows on the hill at storm on and elsewhere have been assessing the
:07:00. > :07:02.impact of the programme last night. Eric Gordon reports -- on the hill
:07:03. > :07:08.at storm on. This was Ian Paisley as the DUP
:07:09. > :07:14.would like to remember him. A hard felt tribute from his then debited.
:07:15. > :07:19.Speaking it is because the foundation has been built under his
:07:20. > :07:23.leadership that it will not, as many of our opponents might hope, split
:07:24. > :07:28.and collapse. That was then. In the here and now,
:07:29. > :07:32.Ian Paisley's estrangement from the party he founded seems complete. I
:07:33. > :07:36.understand he may be in a far-away place. There are many members on the
:07:37. > :07:39.DUP benches last night and this morning who wish they too are in a
:07:40. > :07:44.far-away place. A reference to a programme in which Ian Paisley and
:07:45. > :07:47.Eileen Paisley made a number of incendiary allegations which have
:07:48. > :07:53.left the DUP and political observers almost lost for words. The DUP is
:07:54. > :07:58.still refusing to put a penny want to interview about the Paisley
:07:59. > :08:01.allegations, but following last night's programme, it did issue what
:08:02. > :08:04.it called a statement of fact about the events leading to Ian Paisley's
:08:05. > :08:13.departure. The programme's cheap claim is that in early 2008, Ian
:08:14. > :08:16.Paisley was resented with a survey of DUP claims, questioning his
:08:17. > :08:26.performance as leader and First Minister. I was told, "capnext macro
:08:27. > :08:34.we want you to be gone by Friday". I just more or less smirked and they
:08:35. > :08:38.said, you had to stay pro-government ones.
:08:39. > :08:42.The DUP statement denies that any of those named in the programme issued
:08:43. > :08:49.him with any ultimatum. It says a delegation met Doctor Paisley on the
:08:50. > :08:53.31st of January 2008. He requested a survey of MLAs and MPs to give a
:08:54. > :08:57.general view of his standing in the party, which was carried out within
:08:58. > :09:01.a few days. The survey was presented to him on the 6th of February, but
:09:02. > :09:05.it was strictly confidential. The statement said that on the 4th of
:09:06. > :09:11.March, Ian Paisley sought a meeting with Peter Robinson, who said he
:09:12. > :09:17.intended to announce his retirement. In the Paisley Heartland Palomino
:09:18. > :09:21.today, the views were mixed. -- of Ballymena. It may cause confusion
:09:22. > :09:26.but his neighbour Sylvia stalwart for Unionist supporters. I was
:09:27. > :09:31.surprised at him, I don't think he done right. He should have kept
:09:32. > :09:35.quiet. I'm not even a supporter, I can tell you, I see things from a
:09:36. > :09:38.totally different perspective and I have admiration for the man. But
:09:39. > :09:44.what about the future of the town's MP, Ian Paisley Jr? He has had an
:09:45. > :09:47.overwhelming victory in North Antrim, he is following in his
:09:48. > :09:52.father's footsteps they're coming he has a huge backing. And if we look
:09:53. > :09:57.at it from the political side, from the party's point of view, it would
:09:58. > :10:01.not look in any way good for them to dispose of a man who has carried
:10:02. > :10:04.them to such a huge victory in North Antrim. Ballymena will be watching
:10:05. > :10:12.with interest what, if anything, happens next.
:10:13. > :10:15.The Paisley documentary has laid bare tensions in the party formed
:10:16. > :10:19.more than 40 years ago, but how did the interview go down in Unionist
:10:20. > :10:27.heartlands and among the people who followed him through the decades?
:10:28. > :10:31.In the soggy shadow of Samson and Goliath, the people of East Belfast
:10:32. > :10:38.was still die jesting the Paisley documentary today. -- die jesting.
:10:39. > :10:43.The cafe on the Newtownards Road, the allegations of a party leave
:10:44. > :10:48.against the man who dominated a party landscape, was a big topic of
:10:49. > :10:52.conversation. I wouldn't say it is sour grapes in behalf of the family
:10:53. > :10:55.but he clearly had to go, I think. I really believe he was sincere in all
:10:56. > :11:04.he did, even if I didn't agree with him in his way of doing it. Big
:11:05. > :11:10.mistake. Because it can do no good, can't do any cause for the DUP and
:11:11. > :11:15.certainly I think it backfired on them. For his traditional
:11:16. > :11:17.electorate, it will have been a difficult watch. Irene Brown,
:11:18. > :11:22.speaking here in a personal capacity, has been a member of the
:11:23. > :11:29.DUP and the martyrs Memorial Church, for more than four decades. My first
:11:30. > :11:36.reaction was total sadness and then it was bewilderment. And today, it
:11:37. > :11:48.is disappointment. The church will go on, because it is Grenoble. The
:11:49. > :11:52.DUP will go on and I don't think the interview has diminished the
:11:53. > :11:58.popularity of the DUP in any way. I don't think the programme did
:11:59. > :12:05.Baroness Paisley and Lohan any favours. The Reverend Ian Paisley's
:12:06. > :12:14.public life span span the decades from protests to peace. But some
:12:15. > :12:16.commentators believe his refusal to accept some responsibility for what
:12:17. > :12:21.happened over those years has been counter-productive. There is still
:12:22. > :12:25.that sense that nothing had changed for him, and I think the people who
:12:26. > :12:29.had revised their opinion in 2007 have revised it again and his legacy
:12:30. > :12:33.now is like King Lear, ranting at a world he no longer controls. And in
:12:34. > :12:37.many ways doesn't understand anymore. When the history of this
:12:38. > :12:43.parade is written, Ian Paisley will have a huge part in it. A colourful
:12:44. > :12:46.and controversial character, and, after this latest intervention, one
:12:47. > :12:51.about which it is unlikely there will be much consensus.
:12:52. > :12:54.The leaders of the five Executive parties have held another round of
:12:55. > :13:04.discussions this afternoon on the proposals put forward by the former
:13:05. > :13:08.US diplomat Richard Haass. Speaking after the meeting, the SDLP leader
:13:09. > :13:12.Alasdair McDonnell said he was positive about the prospects for
:13:13. > :13:18.progress. I didn't believe there was the will to do a deal, I wouldn't be
:13:19. > :13:23.here. I have trust and confidence in the political leaders and I believe
:13:24. > :13:27.we can do a deal. We are here, as the SDLP, looking quite simply to
:13:28. > :13:34.make progress on the stuff that was broadly agreed in the Richard house
:13:35. > :13:37.-- Richard Haass process and much was agreed.
:13:38. > :13:41.The mother of Phillip Strickland, who was shot dead near Comber two
:13:42. > :13:45.years ago, has told the trial of two men accused of his murder that she
:13:46. > :13:48.was aware of a UVF threat against her son. Elizabeth Dempster said her
:13:49. > :13:52.37-year old son had been threatened by the loyalist paramilitaries after
:13:53. > :13:55.a fight in a bar and was later told by police of another threat from
:13:56. > :13:59.them. She made the claim in a statement read to Belfast Crown
:14:00. > :14:02.Court. Two men deny his murder and the trial continues.
:14:03. > :14:05.17 men have been cleared of a charge of taking part in an un-notified
:14:06. > :14:08.protest. Ten of them are from Ardoyne, in Belfast, the others are
:14:09. > :14:13.from north Antrim. Eunan McConville was in the Belfast court.
:14:14. > :14:18.Acquitted and walking free from court, 17 men who had been charged
:14:19. > :14:24.with taking part in an un-notified protest against an Apprentice Boys
:14:25. > :14:29.parade in Belfast in December 2012. This footage was played during the
:14:30. > :14:32.proceedings. The prosecution's case was that this showed the men
:14:33. > :14:38.protesting against the parade as it passed, and that no application had
:14:39. > :14:40.been made for a protest by the Greater Ardoyne Residents
:14:41. > :14:44.Collective. The defence's case was that the men were simply observing
:14:45. > :14:48.the parade and that no protest application had been made because
:14:49. > :14:56.this was not a protest. All 17 were acquitted. This case, had it gone
:14:57. > :15:01.the way they wanted and secured a conviction, would have had
:15:02. > :15:04.consequences for people right across the six counties. Speaking of the
:15:05. > :15:08.fact it was even brought was a disgrace. The argument in this case
:15:09. > :15:12.really came down to what constitutes a protest, and the judge said a
:15:13. > :15:15.protest could be silent and that it didn't necessarily need to involve
:15:16. > :15:21.large numbers of people, but that in this case, the evidence did not show
:15:22. > :15:26.that there was a protest and he acquitted all 17 men. Some of those
:15:27. > :15:29.men may go on to take a case against the PPS and the PSNI.
:15:30. > :15:40.Still to come: we will be joined in the studio by the boxer Martin Rogan
:15:41. > :15:45.to talk about this fight and how he intends to make a comeback after
:15:46. > :15:49.that. The National Health Service is to
:15:50. > :15:53.get an extra ?30 million to help deal with winter pressures on
:15:54. > :15:56.services. The Finance Minister made the announcement in a re-allocation
:15:57. > :16:04.of funds. Our business and economics editor John Campbell has more on
:16:05. > :16:10.this. More money for health. How did that come about? Remember a couple
:16:11. > :16:13.of weeks ago that major incident declared at the Royal Victoria
:16:14. > :16:17.Hospital, a large backlog in the A department put down to the seasonal
:16:18. > :16:24.pressures, winter pressures we get. The executive has, with some money.
:16:25. > :16:28.-- come up with some money. It is not just going to A departments,
:16:29. > :16:32.it is also going towards looking after older people and social
:16:33. > :16:39.services. ?30 million will be split between those. This is how this much
:16:40. > :16:45.as the Health Minister wanted, he wanted 60 million, he is getting 30
:16:46. > :16:51.million. What else is benefiting from the re-allocation? Money will
:16:52. > :16:55.be spent on roads, our bus stations, the University of Ulster is going to
:16:56. > :17:00.get some money. That is a loan from the executive of ?35 million. You
:17:01. > :17:05.can see from these pictures, there is a big development project going
:17:06. > :17:09.in Belfast. A whole new campus is being built. Some of that money is
:17:10. > :17:13.going to help pay for that. The university is expected to get a very
:17:14. > :17:19.large loan from the European Investment Bank, to create this new
:17:20. > :17:26.campus in Belfast. Where did the money originate? The money has come
:17:27. > :17:30.from other departments. It has come out of the housing budget, the bulk
:17:31. > :17:33.of it, to do with continuing problems in the Housing executive
:17:34. > :17:38.over maintenance contracts. The money spent on maintenance has not
:17:39. > :17:43.been spent. ?18 million comes out of the Housing executive budget into
:17:44. > :17:48.the central part. Thank you for those details.
:17:49. > :17:51.From running public services to running a home and parents will
:17:52. > :17:54.notice a drop in their financial costs when the children leave the
:17:55. > :17:58.nest. But unlike other places in the UK, young people here stay put until
:17:59. > :18:01.well into adulthood. The Office for National Statistics says Northern
:18:02. > :18:06.Ireland talks the list with a third of them still at home when they're
:18:07. > :18:15.30. BBC Newsline's Tara Mills has more.
:18:16. > :18:18.The statistics will come to no surprise for many households across
:18:19. > :18:21.Northern Ireland. I have come to meet one family were the youngest
:18:22. > :18:27.son is still living at home, and with a house like this, why would he
:18:28. > :18:31.want to leave? This woman and her son catch up after the working day.
:18:32. > :18:37.James has a degree that cannot get work in that field. He works
:18:38. > :18:40.part-time and unpredictable hours. I can't afford to move out, but
:18:41. > :18:48.hopefully the meantime and situation improves, I will move out. Cooking
:18:49. > :18:54.and cleaning for James is a hard habit to break, but she enjoys his
:18:55. > :18:58.company and his crack. I wish he could get a permanent job and be
:18:59. > :19:02.able to make his own way and see the future. Working part-time is very
:19:03. > :19:08.difficult for him, and I feel that for him and for all young people who
:19:09. > :19:11.are in the same position. We encourage them to go to university,
:19:12. > :19:16.nurture their desire for learning and then there is nothing, no job
:19:17. > :19:21.for them at the end. I think that is hard for them. The impact on a young
:19:22. > :19:25.person's career is one thing if they cannot find a job, but is there a
:19:26. > :19:30.danger young adults will become overdependent on their appearance?
:19:31. > :19:34.Part of leaving home is developing the skills to learn on their own.
:19:35. > :19:38.Developing skills like cooking and finance. If you live at home too
:19:39. > :19:44.long, perhaps you will not get the chance to develop those skills. That
:19:45. > :19:48.could affect the relationship. Empty nest syndrome seems some way off for
:19:49. > :19:50.now in this family unless there is a big change in house prices in the
:19:51. > :19:56.job market. This could be what the future looks like for many families
:19:57. > :19:58.in Northern Ireland. The comforts of home a big
:19:59. > :20:01.attraction there. A few months ago one of our top
:20:02. > :20:04.boxers was delivered a knock out blow. But is now considering a
:20:05. > :20:09.comeback. Stephen is joined by Martin Rogan.
:20:10. > :20:14.Thanks very much. He joins me here in the studio. Many thought that his
:20:15. > :20:17.most recent fight in Germany back in November would be his last. But the
:20:18. > :20:21.Belfast heavyweight is considering a comeback. Before we hear from him
:20:22. > :20:23.take a a look at the savage first round knock out. It left the former
:20:24. > :20:25.Commonwealth champion hospitalised and requiring extensive surgery to
:20:26. > :20:33.his jaw which was broken in two places. Martin, that is pretty
:20:34. > :20:41.painful viewing. How do you feel watching that? It is just part of
:20:42. > :20:52.the sport. You have to take the rough with the smooth. I have got
:20:53. > :20:56.over that hurdle. Being injured is only for a short time, it's all
:20:57. > :21:02.about the way you comeback. Making sure the mistakes that were made are
:21:03. > :21:07.not made again. We can take a look at some of the before and after
:21:08. > :21:15.pictures of your operation. Serious injuries. Why would you want to
:21:16. > :21:23.contemplate a comeback after that? I have asked them, it got me down a
:21:24. > :21:30.lot and myself. I love boxing, boxing is great. I asked the doctor,
:21:31. > :21:38.will be be a weakness in the job? Thankfully, he says, no, your job
:21:39. > :21:44.will be strong as it ever was. I have gone to get the plates removed
:21:45. > :21:55.from my job. I will go in tomorrow to get them removed. Are you worried
:21:56. > :22:05.about the long-term effects? No, I have made a lot of mistakes, I have
:22:06. > :22:08.looked back over a lot of my fights. A lot of my opponents would not
:22:09. > :22:14.fight me again, but one of them would. I would love to get it on
:22:15. > :22:18.with him again, settle the score. The damage was done, I made a lot of
:22:19. > :22:23.mistakes, I should never have dropped my hand, I did. They
:22:24. > :22:28.should've been there I had them at the start. I should not have fixed
:22:29. > :22:38.what was not broken. I have a job to do. That's what I have to do, full
:22:39. > :22:41.steam ahead. What and who is next? I have been speaking to my wife and
:22:42. > :22:47.family, they have been on edge about it. It has not been too good. I have
:22:48. > :22:52.been offered Australia and New Zealand, a couple of fights there. I
:22:53. > :23:00.am on the verge of firing something in. We're going to do that. Thank
:23:01. > :23:01.you very much indeed. No doubt we will see plenty of you in the
:23:02. > :23:04.future. In Irish Cup football Lisburn
:23:05. > :23:08.Distillery beat PSNI 2-0 today to set up a last 16 meeting with Queens
:23:09. > :23:11.University. There's coverage of all tonight's games on BBC Radio Ulster
:23:12. > :23:14.including Coleraine's fifth round replay at home to Cliftonville.

:23:20. > :23:23.The 18 times champion jockey last night won the Belfast Telegraph
:23:24. > :23:26.Sports Star of the Year Award. It was an event attended by dozens of
:23:27. > :23:33.Northern Irelands sporting heroes past and present. Thomas Kane
:23:34. > :23:38.reports. Usually, on the other side of the
:23:39. > :23:42.camera, David Healy was on hand to snap his dad alongside the main
:23:43. > :23:48.award winner. On a night when local sporting royalty mingled, but it was
:23:49. > :23:57.another former footballing great who had McCoist are struck. --
:23:58. > :24:01.starstruck. He was one of my heroes growing up as an Arsenal fan. It is
:24:02. > :24:08.a great honour to come back home and get an award like this. I am very
:24:09. > :24:12.grateful. The records of continued to tumble over the last 12 months,
:24:13. > :24:17.but AP McCoy is as determined as ever. I think I will get to achieve
:24:18. > :24:22.a little bit more. No matter how much you win, there is always going
:24:23. > :24:28.to be someone who will win more than you, you have got to keep going as
:24:29. > :24:34.long as possible. His man management skills, everything about them. It
:24:35. > :24:41.was also a special night for the Hall of Fame inductee. It is an
:24:42. > :24:45.absolute honour, particularly for the sport I represent. It is not
:24:46. > :24:48.just about our own sport, it is across all the sports in this part
:24:49. > :24:59.of the world. I am delighted and chuffed for everybody. Just
:25:00. > :25:04.brilliant, Mickey. Well done. AP McCoy was delighted that it was Pat
:25:05. > :25:09.Jennings who presented. Even those at the top of the game have their
:25:10. > :25:15.own sporting idols. It was a great night. That's it from
:25:16. > :25:18.Martin and me. Great to see Martin Rogan in the
:25:19. > :25:26.studio. It was not a great day to have a puncture. A terrible day for
:25:27. > :25:29.most of us. It was rotten, it is looking a
:25:30. > :25:33.little bit better over the next couple of days. I am going to start
:25:34. > :25:39.with a picture of Derry. They are enjoying the rainbow laser
:25:40. > :25:42.Festival. Last night, conditions were perfect. Tonight it is not so
:25:43. > :25:46.good at the moment. There are showers over the Northwest, they are
:25:47. > :25:51.moving away so we should see clear skies moving in from the west later.
:25:52. > :25:56.Most of us have a dry night compared to today. There will still be
:25:57. > :25:59.showers, particularly in the West. Temperatures get quite low in parts
:26:00. > :26:05.of the South East, there could be a bit of ice and fog around. Overall,
:26:06. > :26:10.it is going to be a better day tomorrow. There will still be some
:26:11. > :26:13.rain, rain drops clinging to the bushes through the morning. Most of
:26:14. > :26:18.the showers are going to be tomorrow morning. When you leave the house
:26:19. > :26:22.over County Antrim, it should be fairly dry, temperatures of about
:26:23. > :26:30.five degrees. Calderdale towards County Down and Armagh. -- colder
:26:31. > :26:37.down towards County Down and Armagh. The showers will come eastwards into
:26:38. > :26:39.the early afternoon. Turning drier and brighter again later in the day
:26:40. > :26:43.in most places. You will need the umbrella in the morning. It will not
:26:44. > :26:49.be as windy as it was this morning. Tomorrow night, wintry nest will be
:26:50. > :26:55.in the showers. It could be a little bit icy. On Thursday, cold but
:26:56. > :26:59.bright in many places. A few snow showers around, but most places will
:27:00. > :27:03.avoid them. Over to the other side of the Atlantic, this is where our
:27:04. > :27:09.weather is coming from on Friday, another snow area of low pressure.
:27:10. > :27:12.It winds its way over towards us, through the Atlantic in the next
:27:13. > :27:15.couple of days. It will not be as cold when it gets to us, but there
:27:16. > :27:19.will be plenty of rain around through Friday and fairly strong
:27:20. > :27:23.winds as well. We might get a little bit of snow briefly over the hills.
:27:24. > :27:28.Once that moves through, a wet end to the week. Brightening up again
:27:29. > :27:32.for the weekend. Very mixed, you will always need that umbrella. And
:27:33. > :27:36.that raincoat. Hopefully no punctures tomorrow.
