:00:00. > :00:23.Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline: if Father accused of

:00:24. > :00:26.seriously sexually abusing his children tells a cold rain caught he

:00:27. > :00:31.is innocent. A mother's response to the guilty

:00:32. > :00:35.plea by the man that killed her son. Just get him out of court, I don't

:00:36. > :00:42.want to have to look at him. Teachers voice their dismay as they

:00:43. > :00:51.can Unity Project runs out of funds. And they are booming coal exports

:00:52. > :00:54.fuels the Belfast Harbour. And we will hear from the jackal. And

:00:55. > :00:57.weather warnings have been issued across Northern Ireland, starting

:00:58. > :01:02.with heavy rain tomorrow. I will be back with the details.

:01:03. > :01:05.A father accused of sexually abusing his own children and allowing other

:01:06. > :01:09.men to do the same says he was numb with shock when he first heard

:01:10. > :01:14.His son and daughter allege he raped them, and sexually abused

:01:15. > :01:25.Their uncle and another man, described as a family friend

:01:26. > :01:27.are also facing charges of abusing the girl.

:01:28. > :01:32.David Maxwell reports from Coleraine Crown Court.

:01:33. > :01:39.Nellie two weeks on, this trial has now heard from all of the accused.

:01:40. > :01:43.Today, the father of the two alleged victims, who faces around 40 charges

:01:44. > :01:47.of sexual abuse and cruelty, told the court he only ever had overnight

:01:48. > :01:52.access to the children for a brief period after he separated from his

:01:53. > :01:55.wife. He said they never stayed over after 1994 because he was a party

:01:56. > :02:01.animal who liked to go out with friends. A prosecution lawyer

:02:02. > :02:05.describe that as a pack of lies. It was put to him that for years he had

:02:06. > :02:10.used his daughter as a sexual plaything and allowed other men to

:02:11. > :02:13.rape her. He replied that was absolutely untrue. The father of the

:02:14. > :02:17.alleged victim said he was numb with shock when he first heard some of

:02:18. > :02:23.the allegations in 1998. He said he thought the whole matter would be

:02:24. > :02:27.cleared up in ten minutes. He says he didn't even ask for a solicitor.

:02:28. > :02:30.Asked why his daughter would make up such serious allegations of sexual

:02:31. > :02:34.abuse, he said he did not know and described her as having a good

:02:35. > :02:38.imagination. The uncle of the alleged victims also gave evidence

:02:39. > :02:44.today. He faces charges connected to his niece. He said she was either

:02:45. > :02:47.lying or mistaken because he has never attended parties where

:02:48. > :02:57.children were abused. He said, I never in my life touched that wee

:02:58. > :03:00.girl. I hardly knew her. Both men were asked about sexually abusing

:03:01. > :03:04.her sister when she was a child. Earlier this week it emerged that

:03:05. > :03:09.they had pleaded guilty to charges of abuse carried out in the 70s. One

:03:10. > :03:25.has admitted attempting to rape his sister. The DUP has made a formal

:03:26. > :03:28.complaint against a member of Parliament who claimed that they may

:03:29. > :03:32.have been responsible for a number of gay and lesbian people taking

:03:33. > :03:35.their lives. This came about this afternoon cheering and evidence

:03:36. > :03:38.session at Stormont by the Justice committee. That committee is

:03:39. > :03:42.examining the human trafficking bill. That would make it illegal to

:03:43. > :03:46.pay for sex in Northern Ireland. Today, Doctor Graham Allison, from

:03:47. > :03:50.Queens University, was giving evidence. He has concerns about

:03:51. > :03:54.large parts of the bill. It transpires that he wrote an e-mail

:03:55. > :03:58.to another witness who was supporting the bill. The DUP have

:03:59. > :04:09.obtained by e-mail and its contents have alarmed and angered them.

:04:10. > :04:14.Today, the contents were read out. In terms of gay and lesbian politics

:04:15. > :04:17.that I have an interest in, they are one of the most repressive and

:04:18. > :04:21.socially backwards parties you can imagine. The next word I use because

:04:22. > :04:24.it is deeply offensive, it is a swear word. Who knows how many gays

:04:25. > :04:27.and lesbians young people in Northern Ireland have committed

:04:28. > :04:33.suicide the cause of this bloody party? I can also remember not long

:04:34. > :04:37.ago, five or six years, that the party, the DUP, was claiming that

:04:38. > :04:40.rape within marriage was impossible. They are simply latching on to idea

:04:41. > :04:50.about sex that prescribes to biblical teaching. How did he

:04:51. > :04:53.respond? He accepts he wrote the e-mail, he said he wrote it out of

:04:54. > :04:58.frustration. He denied it was abusive and said he was trying to

:04:59. > :05:03.persuade a previous witness to change their position. I thought I

:05:04. > :05:08.was trying to reason with them. There are a number of issues I feel

:05:09. > :05:12.strongly about and I thought I could maybe pork her around or whatever.

:05:13. > :05:19.There are a number of fundamental issues where she and the DUP do not

:05:20. > :05:22.agree -- talk her around. He may agree on the criminalisation of

:05:23. > :05:28.paying for sex, but there are other issues where you do not. What

:05:29. > :05:31.happens next? They continue to hear evidence, and the DUP say they have

:05:32. > :05:37.complained to Queens University, where he works. Enda Kenny has met

:05:38. > :05:42.the families of several people killed by soldiers in the ballot if

:05:43. > :05:46.the area of west Belfast in August 1971. After the discussion, they

:05:47. > :05:52.welcomed his support. Shane Harrison joins us now. What else can you tell

:05:53. > :05:56.us? The valley mercy killings were and remain very controversial. A

:05:57. > :06:00.priest and a mother of aid were shot dead by The Parachute Regiment over

:06:01. > :06:03.a three-day period. Today's meeting follows a proposal from the

:06:04. > :06:08.relatives of the victims to the UK and Irish governments that an

:06:09. > :06:12.independent panel be set up to investigate what happened. Relatives

:06:13. > :06:16.of the 11 people shot dead, accompanied by representatives of

:06:17. > :06:19.Sinn Fein, the SDLP and The Alliance party, emerged from government

:06:20. > :06:31.buildings this afternoon after a 90 minute meeting with BT -- Enda Kenny

:06:32. > :06:33.pleased. He has agreed to look at the documents surrounding the

:06:34. > :06:37.circumstances, the aftermath and context of the killings and he has

:06:38. > :06:41.also confirmed in a statement he has agreed to put their case before an

:06:42. > :06:48.independent panel to his British counterpart, David Cameron.

:06:49. > :06:51.Detectives investigating the deaths of 13 unarmed civilians by soldiers

:06:52. > :06:56.on Bloody Sunday are looking for statements from more than 1000

:06:57. > :06:59.witnesses to the saddle inquiry. The police say it is necessary to

:07:00. > :07:03.interview witnesses again because they cannot use testimony given to

:07:04. > :07:06.the inquiry in a criminal investigation.

:07:07. > :07:09.The mother of a teenager who died from carbon monoxide poisoning says

:07:10. > :07:11.she's relieved she didn't have to sit through a full trial

:07:12. > :07:14.of the gas fitter who was charged with causing his death.

:07:15. > :07:17.This week he pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of her son

:07:18. > :07:20.Aaron Davidson and his friend Neil McFerran in Castlerock in 2010.

:07:21. > :07:22.Their holiday apartment had a defective flue in a gas boiler.

:07:23. > :07:24.The boy's mothers have been instrumental

:07:25. > :07:26.in getting carbon monoxide detectors mandatory in newly built homes.

:07:27. > :07:46.An emotional moment for the families, just out of court where

:07:47. > :07:49.the man who had consistently denied responsibility for the deaths of

:07:50. > :07:54.their two sons pleaded guilty to the manslaughter. Aaron Davidson and

:07:55. > :07:58.Neil McFerran were overcome by carbon monoxide, the silent killer.

:07:59. > :08:02.The family is just thankful the agony of sitting through a lengthy

:08:03. > :08:06.trial which was set for next week had been averted. I don't know how I

:08:07. > :08:16.could cope, going in, day in and day out to the trial. It was a relief

:08:17. > :08:21.that he did plead guilty. But it was left until last minute. What was it

:08:22. > :08:25.like in the public gallery when you heard him plead guilty? Our heads

:08:26. > :08:33.were just down. You could hear the odd whimper. We went, though, my

:08:34. > :08:37.goodness, just get him out of court, I just don't want to have to look at

:08:38. > :08:42.him. It is so hard to look at somebody that is responsible for

:08:43. > :08:47.your child's death. The lifelong friends, along with another friend

:08:48. > :08:51.who survived, went to Castle Rock for time out before their A-level

:08:52. > :08:55.results. The day their bodies were found is one that his mother will

:08:56. > :08:59.never forget. Getting him on the floor, trying to get them outside

:09:00. > :09:06.the patio doors. The emergency services working at them. I can

:09:07. > :09:09.remember every single bit of it. Every mother is probably watching

:09:10. > :09:17.you now wondering where you get your stuff from. I honestly don't know.

:09:18. > :09:20.He would have wanted me to go on. He would have said, we have to do

:09:21. > :09:25.something so this doesn't happen again. Along with Neal's mother, she

:09:26. > :09:31.set up a charity to raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide.

:09:32. > :09:35.If you can start this charity up, tell people what happened with

:09:36. > :09:39.carbon monoxide, how to protect themselves against it, have to check

:09:40. > :09:42.their boiler, if they can get a detector up, you're going to save a

:09:43. > :09:46.life and then we will not have died in vain. I think that is what the

:09:47. > :09:51.boys would have wanted. Aaron would have been 22 next week. His A-level

:09:52. > :09:54.results were good enough to get him into Queens University to study

:09:55. > :09:56.engineering. He should have been finishing his degree this year.

:09:57. > :10:04.George Brown will be sentenced next month.

:10:05. > :10:07.The Stormont Executive met today with the row over the recruitment

:10:08. > :10:09.of the next Chief Constable up for discussion.

:10:10. > :10:12.The Justice Minister had said he was changing the recruitment criteria to

:10:13. > :10:14.allow applications from officers who had not worked

:10:15. > :10:19.The DUP and Sinn Fein accused the Alliance minister of usurping

:10:20. > :10:22.Mark Devenport is at Stormont for us.

:10:23. > :10:33.Well, just to explain this, on Monday, when David Ford announced he

:10:34. > :10:37.was dropping this minimum criteria, he said that this would give the

:10:38. > :10:44.Policing Board more flexibility in going about the business of choosing

:10:45. > :10:48.a successor for Matt Baggott, who has confirmed he is stepping down.

:10:49. > :10:52.The Policing Board members were taken by surprise. They disagreed

:10:53. > :10:55.with this and felt that the justice minister was invading their patch.

:10:56. > :11:03.One the DUP Policing Board member talked about him behaving as a

:11:04. > :11:06.little Nero. They took the unusual step of stepping in and saying they

:11:07. > :11:12.were calling the matter into investigation. After the meeting,

:11:13. > :11:15.David Ford said that what he was now turning a draft determination,

:11:16. > :11:18.rather than a decision already done and dusted, would be subjected to

:11:19. > :11:22.consultation with Policing Board members and senior police

:11:23. > :11:26.representatives. They would look, over the course of the next two

:11:27. > :11:32.weeks, at his plan. I trust that we will ensure that no action which is

:11:33. > :11:35.taken, nothing that is done by the executive, will be seen to damage

:11:36. > :11:39.the integrity of the policing and justice system in Northern Ireland.

:11:40. > :11:41.We are aware of the sensitivities of that and it is something I am

:11:42. > :11:49.concerned to protect. What do you see happening next? Obviously he

:11:50. > :11:52.will now write to those consultees. This will presumably come back to

:11:53. > :11:54.the next executive meeting in a fortnight. Both sides to this

:11:55. > :11:59.argument have brought themselves a bit of breathing space, but there is

:12:00. > :12:02.still a disagreement inasmuch as the justice minister feels this was a

:12:03. > :12:08.decision that he can properly take on his own, and a spokesperson for

:12:09. > :12:11.the first and deputy first ministers emphasised that the substance and

:12:12. > :12:15.timing of the final decision on this matter rests with the executive.

:12:16. > :12:19.This will lower over, if ultimately they agree on the substance of David

:12:20. > :12:22.Ford's suggested change. If they still disagree in a fortnight, we

:12:23. > :12:33.could still have a difficult decision for the ministers. David

:12:34. > :12:37.Ford will be on The View tonight after BBC Newsline.

:12:38. > :12:41.The end of funding means the end of a scheme that employed teachers to

:12:42. > :12:45.be shared by Kubla Khan controlled primary school schools.

:12:46. > :12:47.The project had been judged a big success in getting schools,

:12:48. > :12:49.pupils and parents of different religions to mingle.

:12:50. > :12:51.As our education correspondent Maggie Taggart reports,

:12:52. > :12:57.there's a worry the good effects will quickly fade away.

:12:58. > :13:02.Protestant and Catholic pupils can sometimes go to their whole time in

:13:03. > :13:06.school without making friends with children from the other

:13:07. > :13:11.denomination. To change that, hundreds of thousands of pounds paid

:13:12. > :13:15.for ten teachers, shared between 23 schools in rural County Antrim. The

:13:16. > :13:22.children were working together on numeracy and then doing things like

:13:23. > :13:25.PE together. 40 miles away, three schools joined forces to give

:13:26. > :13:29.children a cross community experience which they now miss. I

:13:30. > :13:33.sometimes see them if I go to the pool, the leisure centre or German.

:13:34. > :13:38.Otherwise we are not really together any more. I liked it. It was

:13:39. > :13:44.different for us. We never mixed the religions before. The shared teacher

:13:45. > :13:49.scheme cost almost ?400,000, paid for by charities. Once that year was

:13:50. > :13:53.up, the ten shared teachers had to go. I think it's very

:13:54. > :13:57.disappointing. I realise there are priorities on finances and budgets

:13:58. > :14:05.from every quarter. What we would dearly have loved to have been able

:14:06. > :14:09.to do is continue this. How are we going to solve this problem? This is

:14:10. > :14:12.the sort of mixed class made possible by special funding. Now the

:14:13. > :14:17.money has dried up, the schools are having to dig into their own budgets

:14:18. > :14:26.to pay for a much smaller. It is money that has been cut back to keep

:14:27. > :14:29.the scheme going in other schools. The children have been much more

:14:30. > :14:32.comfortable with each other. A little girl came in and she had not

:14:33. > :14:36.played with the next-door neighbour on the farm next door. And now they

:14:37. > :14:45.are great friends. Parents have also become closer. We have met as two

:14:46. > :14:51.PTAs. I think the board of governors have also met each other. PTAs have

:14:52. > :14:54.gone a bit further. We left just before Christmas and we have come

:14:55. > :14:59.off with an activity for next week, the two families of both schools to

:15:00. > :15:02.get together on a beetle drive. The organisers of the scheme hope the

:15:03. > :15:08.foundations have been laid for good relations, but there is a question

:15:09. > :15:15.of that. It has quickly been eroded away, because the children no longer

:15:16. > :15:19.work together closely. Although we have a professional relationship,

:15:20. > :15:26.the process is not there any more. The bottom line is that the money

:15:27. > :15:28.from the International Fund For Ireland has ended, that the

:15:29. > :15:38.Department for Education says it is looking at ideas for shared

:15:39. > :15:42.education in future. Trade at Belfast Harbour has been

:15:43. > :15:48.boosted by imports of coal from North America.

:15:49. > :15:55.Cargo loads like this grain shipment have helped make Belfast Harbour in

:15:56. > :16:01.?40 million business. 2013 is a strong year for trading. Coal was

:16:02. > :16:06.the star performer. Imports rocketed, made possible by the

:16:07. > :16:10.harbour spending millions to make it capable of taking larger shipments.

:16:11. > :16:17.For the coal project we spent just under ?10 million. We made this

:16:18. > :16:24.wharf, we deepened our main channel so the larger vessels can come in.

:16:25. > :16:28.Finally we have bought the largest crane in Northern Ireland. Shipments

:16:29. > :16:34.rose to 2.7 million tonnes. That is an increase of 150% in one year.

:16:35. > :16:42.Taking all types of goods together, the port handled 23 million tonnes,

:16:43. > :16:46.a new record. This is what is helping to fuel the harbour's

:16:47. > :16:53.economic growth. Hill route power station burns coal to supply our

:16:54. > :16:56.power. We got that business from the port in the West of Scotland.

:16:57. > :17:01.Previously it was shipped in and then shipped over. That coal now

:17:02. > :17:07.goes into Belfast because we have the capability to get those

:17:08. > :17:14.shipments. The harbour as invested around ?100 million and facilities.

:17:15. > :17:19.One of its latest projects, a new facility at Alexander Dock, is now

:17:20. > :17:25.facing a delay after test uncovered potential land contamination. It is

:17:26. > :17:32.a setback, but a minor one in terms of the overall business. The port

:17:33. > :17:40.now handles three quarters of the seaborne trade. It begins, coming

:17:41. > :17:47.off a year in which the economy has improved.

:17:48. > :17:52.On Monday, we showed you country music fans in Dungannon queuing for

:17:53. > :17:56.Garth Brooks tickets, ahead of his comeback concerts in Dublin. Well,

:17:57. > :17:59.today, the waiting finally ended. And as Mark Simpson reports, 200,000

:18:00. > :18:05.tickets were snapped up in just two hours.

:18:06. > :18:09.No wonder they are so happy. It has been a very cold week to be camping

:18:10. > :18:14.outside. And these Garth Brooks fans have not just been queueing for

:18:15. > :18:34.tickets for themselves, but for friends. GARTH BROOKS MUSIC PLAYS.

:18:35. > :18:41.Thousands of people were waiting when the tickets went on sale. Why?

:18:42. > :18:50.Because the music is fantastic. And maybe for his looks as well for some

:18:51. > :19:01.of the women? He is just brilliant. So it is his music, not his looks?

:19:02. > :19:09.Yes, his music. This shop has been open for nearly two hours but people

:19:10. > :19:13.are still queueing. I finally got the tickets that I wanted so I could

:19:14. > :19:24.not be more happy. But some other fans were left is appointed. All the

:19:25. > :19:29.tickets are sold out. No joy. What happens next? I think he should put

:19:30. > :19:37.on another show, maybe come to the North. That seems unlikely, but then

:19:38. > :19:41.again this is a man who said 12 years ago he was never performing

:19:42. > :19:45.again. Gavin Andrews is next with the sport

:19:46. > :19:49.and he has news of a world title eliminator in April for the Belfast

:19:50. > :19:51.boxer Carl Frampton in front of his home crowd.

:19:52. > :19:55.Friday April the 4th is the date for your diary on a big weekend of

:19:56. > :20:04.sport. The night before the Ulster rugby play their European Cup

:20:05. > :20:15.Signed, sealed and delivered, Carl Frampton's go at a title shot is now

:20:16. > :20:21.on the cards. First though, a double world champion stands in his way. He

:20:22. > :20:27.is coming here to win. He knows how to win ugly as well if he wants to.

:20:28. > :20:32.He has gone into the opponents backyard a few times as well, so it

:20:33. > :20:39.will be my hardest fight to date but I believe I am improving all the

:20:40. > :20:44.time. Get rid of this guy, and we can start thinking about Santa Cruz.

:20:45. > :20:53.Barry McGuigan knows about managing a boxer and he believes he can take

:20:54. > :21:00.Carl Frampton to real heights. We know that the WBC champion at his

:21:01. > :21:06.weight is a phenomenal fighter, and we feel Carl could fight that --

:21:07. > :21:13.could win that fight. First though, he must beat Hugo Cazares. It is not

:21:14. > :21:21.just about winning, it is about how you win. The WBA champion is another

:21:22. > :21:29.possible fight, but not seen. I would rather fight Santa Cruz van

:21:30. > :21:35.quick. I have been trying to make that fight for a long time. If I win

:21:36. > :21:41.the WBC title, I promise I will fight the WBA champion. For now

:21:42. > :21:50.though, he will turn his attention to Hugo Cazares and no one else.

:21:51. > :21:54.It might be early in 2014, but it looks like it could be an exciting

:21:55. > :21:57.season ahead for Rory McIlroy. The 24-year-old shot an opening round of

:21:58. > :22:01.63 in the Dubai Desert classic to leave him two ahead at the top of

:22:02. > :22:02.the leaderboard. Thomas Kane reports.

:22:03. > :22:06.After his round, Rory McIlroy said this was close to his best and when

:22:07. > :22:11.a two-time major winner is that the top of his game, he is simply

:22:12. > :22:19.unstoppable. This stunning shot setup is only eagle of the day. It

:22:20. > :22:25.was his lowest round in over three years, hitting seven birdies along

:22:26. > :22:29.the way. It is a combination of everything, of building momentum at

:22:30. > :22:33.the end of last year. It has been a good off-season, great start to the

:22:34. > :22:37.season, and hopefully I can keep it going. I played very well from tee

:22:38. > :22:42.to green and got the party going as well. All in all, it was a low score

:22:43. > :22:46.and I know the scores have been no out there, so I will need something

:22:47. > :22:53.similar the next few days to keep myself out there. The world number

:22:54. > :23:00.one had a front row seat for the round of 63, playing alongside Rory.

:23:01. > :23:05.Rory and I have become close friends over the last year or so because we

:23:06. > :23:12.have played together in the FedEx cup quite a bit and our friendship

:23:13. > :23:16.has taken off from there. That French it will be pushed to one side

:23:17. > :23:21.for the next few days as the rest of the field try to catch the

:23:22. > :23:25.magnificent Rory McIlroy. Ireland are raring to go for the Six

:23:26. > :23:28.Nations. Joe Schmidt will name his line up for Sunday's opener against

:23:29. > :23:31.Scotland tomorrow. And judging by their current form at club level,

:23:32. > :23:39.these players will be full of confidence.

:23:40. > :23:43.Another six Nations and another year of optimism within the island camp.

:23:44. > :23:46.With free provincial sides in the top eight in Europe, there is no

:23:47. > :23:52.reason why this group of players should not content -- content. You

:23:53. > :23:58.get confidence when you are playing well for a very good club side. That

:23:59. > :24:04.is nothing new for an island point of view. It is important we bring

:24:05. > :24:09.that consistency and that we produce on the international level what we

:24:10. > :24:13.do at club level. We have talked about -- talked a lot about it over

:24:14. > :24:21.the years and not produced. Now is the time for that. If the winter

:24:22. > :24:27.internationals are anything to go by, it is good signs. The all Blacks

:24:28. > :24:35.came back against Ireland, leaving them the King for answers. Those

:24:36. > :24:39.last couple of minutes was definitely the talking point for us

:24:40. > :24:43.and we are going to look at ways we could have closed out the game

:24:44. > :24:48.better. We will never play a perfect game, but we are taking the

:24:49. > :24:52.positives out of that so that we can drive on into this campaign. We

:24:53. > :24:56.learned a lot from that. It was heartbreaking but it served a

:24:57. > :25:01.purpose as well, of building our game and taking steps forward. And

:25:02. > :25:04.that first step comes this Sunday against Scotland.

:25:05. > :25:07.And I'll be reporting from Dublin with the team news tomorrow.

:25:08. > :25:10.Finally, Paralympic skier Kelly Gallagher has been adding to her

:25:11. > :25:13.medal collection again. She and guide Charlotte Evans won silver

:25:14. > :25:17.today in the IPC Alpine Sking World Cup in France. That bodes well for

:25:18. > :25:20.Sochi and the Winter Olympics. And that's the sport tonight.

:25:21. > :25:23.We've been told by the Roads Service that the salting trucks will be out

:25:24. > :25:28.tonight. Freezing temperatures are expected in some places. Let's get

:25:29. > :25:34.the forecast from Cecilia. It has not been the warmest of days,

:25:35. > :25:36.that is for sure. Temperatures around two or three degrees in most

:25:37. > :25:49.places. That could lead to pockets of ice in

:25:50. > :25:54.some places as the night goes on. Rain will move in overnight as

:25:55. > :25:57.well, meaning that by tomorrow morning ice should not be a problem,

:25:58. > :26:04.but there will be plenty of the wet stuff. 20 to 30 millimetres could

:26:05. > :26:09.fall in some counties overnight. It is a very wet start at 8am. Heavy

:26:10. > :26:13.rain across the West with the wind picking up as well. Temperatures up

:26:14. > :26:20.to four or five degrees by then. The rain really pulling itself up by

:26:21. > :26:26.that time of day. As that heavy rain arrives towards the East Coast, the

:26:27. > :26:34.weighing -- the winds will increase. Combined with a high tide,

:26:35. > :26:40.we could have overtopping of waves onto roads close to the coast. Heavy

:26:41. > :26:44.rain and the onshore breeze bringing the sea onto shore could mean

:26:45. > :26:48.another flooding problem. Potentially awful conditions on the

:26:49. > :26:53.roads tomorrow morning. In the afternoon, the showers are moving

:26:54. > :27:00.away and the winds are easing as well. Sunset tomorrow at 5pm. The

:27:01. > :27:05.days are gradually stretching out. For Saturday, we are looking at our

:27:06. > :27:12.next morning, four winds. There could be peaks of 60 or 70 mph. That

:27:13. > :27:16.is in the West, close to the intense area of low pressure on our

:27:17. > :27:21.doorstep. Bringing in wintry showers on Saturday as well. Quite cold this

:27:22. > :27:25.weekend, especially on Saturday with lots of showers around, but it does

:27:26. > :27:30.get better on Sunday. If you have something to do this weekend, Sunday

:27:31. > :27:33.is the better of the two days. That is when the men get on the green

:27:34. > :27:37.shirt again as well at the Aviva. Our late summary is at 10.25pm. You

:27:38. > :27:41.can also keep in contact with us via Facebook and Twitter. From BBC

:27:42. > :27:54.Newsline, goodnight. Last year, True North brought you

:27:55. > :27:57.the personal stories Turns out it was a wee, small,

:27:58. > :28:02.piddly petrol bomb. I would like to see the wall

:28:03. > :28:06.coming down for good. Lots of people believe that

:28:07. > :28:11.there's a heaven and hell, and other people says

:28:12. > :28:14.there's neither.
