Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline. The police are | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
investigating the circumstances surrounding the sudden death of a | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
man outside Dungannon. The body of the man, believed to be in his 30s, | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
was found in the garden of a house in the Millview Manor area of the | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
town this morning. A postmortem examination is to be carried out to | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
determine the cause of death. The police haven't released any more | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
details at this stage as they continue their inquiries. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
There has been a petrol bomb attack on a house in Coalisland. A device | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
was thrown at the property at Inishmore Park around half past ten | :00:38. | :00:40. | |
last night, causing scorch damage to a window. Nobody was in the house at | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
the time. The police say three men believed to have been involved in | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
the incident made off in a white coloured car along the Washingbay | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
Road. The Sinn Fein MP for the area has condemned the attack. | :00:52. | :01:00. | |
I was speaking to the family this morning and they were devastated | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
completely. They do not know an actual reason for it and our concern | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
is why this attack would happen. I don't believe it would happen by | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
anyone within the call Island area, but we have no knowledge of that at | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
the present time. The situation if there had not been someone sitting | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
on the sofa in this situation we would be talking about death this | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
morning, and that is the sad situation. | :01:25. | :01:25. | |
Police searching for missing Ballymena woman Elizabeth Greer are | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
investigating the discovery of a body at Randalstown, close to Lough | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Neagh this morning. The 46-year-old was last seen in | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
Ballymena on Wednesday. The body has not yet been formally identified and | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
a postmortem is to be held. The chairman of the Ulster Unionist | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Party, Lord Empey, has tabled an amendment at Westminster which, if | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
passed, would pave the way for an opposition to be set up in the | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Assembly. His party leader Mike Nesbitt has said there is no need | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
for an official opposition at Stormont and speaking on the Sunday | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
Politics show, the Ulster Unionist peer insisted that the party were | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
not making a U-turn on policy. If you look at our 2010 manifesto, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
it had provision for an opposition in the manifesto. In our Assembly | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
election manifesto 2011 it is included in it, and in Mike Nesbitt | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
was Michael maiden speech in 2011 he raised the question of opposition. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
-- Mike Nesbitt's maiden speech. Whether we would seek to be in | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
opposition is whether -- a totally different issue to whether we have | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
an opposition or not. We think it would strengthen stomach, move us | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
one stage towards more normal politics and I cannot see any reason | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
why anyone would be opposed to it. And you can see The Politics Show | :02:44. | :02:52. | |
again tonight at 11pm on BBC Two. -- it would strengthen Stormont. | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
The body of Simon Chase, who died in a suicide bomb attack in Afghanistan | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
nine days ago, has arrived back in Northern Ireland. Mr Chase, who was | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
originally from Chester but had been living in Limavady with his partner | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
and two sons, had been working with an EU mission in Kabul when he was | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
killed. His funeral will take place on Tuesday in the town. | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
A leading charity in Northern Ireland is calling on the Assembly | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to children under 18. It | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
follows the decision by the Public Health Minister in England to | :03:20. | :03:21. | |
prohibit children buying E-cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
deliver a hit of nicotine and emit water vapour which mimics the | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
feeling and look of smoking. Chest, Heart and Stroke believes Stormont | :03:30. | :03:31. | |
should introduce similar legislation. | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
The quickest way to do that is to use the children and families bill | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
that is now progressing through Westminster, and if it is tagged | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
onto that we in Northern Ireland can use that built to deliver this band | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
much more speedily so that we can stop young people buying these. | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
In a statement, the Department of Health said that the minister, Edwin | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
Poots, strongly supported any measure that discouraged people of | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
any age from taking up smoking and would be watching developments in | :04:02. | :04:03. | |
England closely. Turning to football now, | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
Cliftonville defeated their North Belfast rivals Crusaders to retain | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
the League Cup last night. But it took extra time and penalties to | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
separate the two teams. Here's Sharon Hall. | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
Both sides had their chances. Liam Boyce went close with this header | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
and the Crusaders responded when this volley forced Conor Devon into | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
a good save. At the end of normal time, Martin Burnley almost broke | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
the deadlock for the Reds in injury time with a deft chip. When extra | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
time ended scoreless Devlin was the hero. Cliftonville's or Carol and | :04:43. | :04:56. | |
Connell put their kicks away. There was a feel-good -- feel-good | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
factor for North Belfast. OK, it was not the best affair, but there will | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
be better matches in time to come. It just shows you that the hunger | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
and appetite for football around here and the following Cliftonville | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
have, the supporters were magnificent, I would like to thank | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
them, as well. And now with a look at what the | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
weather has in store, here's Barra Best. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
It stays in control in the next few days. White windy at the moment, we | :05:25. | :05:32. | |
have a weather warning in force for strong winds towards the north coast | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
but the main area of concern is for ice, especially during the first | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
half of the night. The Met Office has issued a weather warning. Where | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
we have clear skies we could see ice on untreated surfaces. Scattered | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
showers will continue tonight and during the first part of the night | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
we are likely to see sleet and snow and especially for the hills and | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
mountains. By tomorrow morning there will be milder air and most of what | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
is following will fall as rain. Tomorrow morning will be fairly | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
unsettled, scattered showers throughout the day and windy at | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
times. To begin with, a lot of us waking up | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
to damp weather but like today it will not rain all day, bright | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
weather and spills of sunshine throughout the day. Low pressure is | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
in control across Britain and Ireland bringing scattered showers, | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
wintry conditions and spells of rain, snow for some higher areas of | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
northern England and Scotland. The best of any drier weather will' | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
England and towards the east coast. For Northern Ireland it will feel | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
quite called with westerly winds and any scattered showers will continue | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
to fade across, some wintry across high ground but most of us will see | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
showers as rain. Low pressure in control for Tuesday, bringing spells | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
of rain and scattered showers, but also some dry weather, at the moment | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
looking most likely for western and southern areas. For the rest of the | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
week low pressure remained in control on Wednesday, scattered | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
showers throughout the day in between brighter weather and spills | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
of sunshine, eventually the low-pressure slipping away by | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
Thursday and we are expecting a much better day then. We will keep an eye | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
on things over the next few days, we will keep you up-to-date on BBC | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
