A father's charged with assaulting his baby daughter. The organisers of | :00:00. | :00:43. | |
the Giro d'Italia want to change the colours of our towns and cities to | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
pink. In a big weekend of sport, rugby, | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
football, hurling and at grassroots level, the hunt for the next | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
generation of Irish cricketers. And the rain is back, I'll have all | :00:56. | :01:07. | |
your weekend weather shortly. The problem of underage drinking and | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
drug taking is once again the focus of our news. 19 young people were so | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
ill they had to be treated in hospital last night. More than 100 | :01:16. | :01:25. | |
were treated by medics at a concert at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast. | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
10,000 tickets were sold for the over 16s dance event. The police say | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
about 300 teenagers turned up who were clearly intoxicated. Our | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
reporter Conor Macauley is outside the Odyssey for us this evening. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
It was around this time last night the authorities began to get a sense | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
of the scale of the problem they were about to face. Scores of | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
teenagers needed medical help. One witness said it was like being in a | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
disaster zone. This report contains some flashing images. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
The concert by a Dutch DJ was an over 16 event. It drew a crowd of | :02:05. | :02:14. | |
9500 many of whom were much younger. Some of them were clearly drunk or | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
high on drugs. Some were refused entry. 40 needed help outside. 19 | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
were taken to hospital. It was declared a major incident. What | :02:26. | :02:40. | |
happened was the SOS Bus had been dealing with a lot of people who | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
were unconscious and vomiting. We brought in resources from the | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
outlying areas. This lady's 16-year-old son was at the concert. | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
People were throwing up inside all over the floor. Many people were | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
passed out. There were fights left right and centre. I try to text him. | :02:58. | :03:05. | |
No reply. I then began to think, I was hearing people being taken to | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
hospital, is he one of those being taken to hospital? It was panic | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
stations. It physically made me feel sick. In a statement, the Odyssey | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
Arena said that a number of patrons required medical attention having | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
already been intoxicated on their arrival. They said they were not | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
granted entry and were treated by the ambulance service outside. As | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
this video shows, there was also trouble at the concert and we now | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
know more people were treated inside the event than outside. A further 68 | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
people were seen inside by a private medical firm hired by the Odyssey | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
Arena. Three went to hospital. The Odyssey Arena said the scale of | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
incidents inside the venue was at normal levels. We would not sell | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
alcohol to someone without ID, passport or driving licence. It was | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
not a heavy drinking crowd. We are pretty confident we policed it | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
thoroughly. You saying everyone turned up drunk? There are always | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
some people who will come through the checks and balances of the | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
system. There is a time lag between intoxicating showing. In all, 108 | :04:26. | :04:32. | |
people needed medical treatment, 19 in hospital. The Belfast trust | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
declared a major incident. We were told we might expect they could be | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
very ill and might need intensive care and monitoring and other care. | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
Happily, that was not the case. As things turned out, 19 patients | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
attended and they needed to be admitted so they were sick enough to | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
be admitted but happily most of them have now been discharged. Police say | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
300 people at the gig showed signs of intoxication. Some had travelled | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
by coach. There will be an investigation and work to process | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
three arrests. Including this 16-year-old girl held for assault. A | :05:16. | :05:24. | |
big part of the problem last night was that lots of the teenagers were | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
already drunk. They had been drinking for several hours, | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
"prinking", they call it. Last night was by no means a one-off. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
The haze of teenage drunkenness often begins at home. Known as | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
"prinking", slang for pre-drinking. It is popular among older and | :05:44. | :05:46. | |
younger teenagers who cannot afford far prices and go for cheaper | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
drink. Their choices sometimes on social media. It is not always just | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
alcohol they are boasting about. On this case last night, the | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
teenagers's father was told they took something else. I saw a post | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
that had been shared from Facebook by a young person that I knew. They | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
had put a photograph on Facebook and I informed his father of it. His | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
father then made contact with him and learn his father contacted me | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
again. -- and then his father. We went to the police station. Not all | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
teenagers are caught or punished before leaving their home on the way | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
to a night out. Once the "prinking" is over, transport to the dance | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
venue, often on buses. There is a ban on drinking on | :06:41. | :06:54. | |
buses, but it does not always work. So there is more "prinking". As this | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
CCTV footage on a bus shows, it can lead to trouble. It is time the | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
departments responsible grip the aggregate together. We need new | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
regulation to ban the carriage of alcohol. It is a confusing set of | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
regulations. You can walk onto the vehicle with it but don't drink it. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
There is nothing new about some teenagers getting very drunk and it | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
is not unique to the Odyssey Arena. Every weekend all across Northern | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Ireland in different towns and cities, you will find some very | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
drunk and very sick young teenagers. Often these volunteers | :07:30. | :07:36. | |
are the first people to help. Weekend in and weekend out. We find | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
people who have had far too much to drink. They do not know their | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
limits. They are throwing up, unconscious. We do our best and we | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
talked security staff and ambulance staff as well. And there is another | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
weekend beckoning, street volunteers are ready once again to help young | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
drinkers who no longer fit to look after themselves. -- who are no | :08:00. | :08:15. | |
longer fit. People who are perhaps intoxicated. | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
With me is Joe Hyland from the SOS Bus whose volunteers are here at | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
night to help party-goers. We worked very hard and we are a small | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
charity. 23 mums and adds volunteered last night. It was | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
tough. We had well over 100 people who needed help. At one point, we | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
had over 19 young boys and girls who were really drunk. Some of them very | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
very ill. Was it that which prompted you to tell the emergency services? | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
We recognised it was beyond our capacity. As the paramedics arrived | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
and recognised it was beyond the capacity with the crews they had | :08:58. | :09:00. | |
available, their senior staff came in and very rightly pressed the | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
button. I truly believe that if we had not in here, certainly if they | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
had not been that with the wonderful plan may have in place, we could | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
have lost lives last night. Did you think you perhaps helped to save | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
lives last night? It is hard to say after the event. But last night if | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
you had asked me, if you are a parent, you would have pressed the | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
button too. It was scary. Just to say, tonight there is an ice hockey | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
game playing tonight so everybody down here is hoping for a much | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
quieter evening this evening. And you can see more on that | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
interview with Jim Donnelly about how a father took his son to the | :09:42. | :09:54. | |
police station on our news website. This is BBC Newsline and still ahead | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
on the programme: What Sinn Fein think the vote on Scottish | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
independence means for the union. It is quite clear the so-called United | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
Kingdom is held together by a thread. | :10:06. | :10:12. | |
A 23-year-old man from West Belfast has appeared in court charged with | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
grievous bodily harm against his three-month old daughter. His name | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
cannot be given, to protect the child's identity. From Craigavon | :10:19. | :10:29. | |
Court, Gordon Adair reports. A lawyer told the court that | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
relatives on both sides of the family had made clear their support. | :10:34. | :10:36. | |
He said his client had been left alone with the baby girl on | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
Wednesday morning and that a short time after his partner left the flat | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
they shared together he had found the little girl in some kind of | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
medical distress. He took actions in an effort to help her. He later | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
admitted to hospital staff that one of those actions was to shake the | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
baby and it was after this admission that the police were called and he | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
was arrested. Granting bail despite police objections, the judge pointed | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
out that the man had already been given compassionate bail to visit | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
his daughter in hospital and that the original charge of Weaver 's | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
bodily harm with intent had been reduced to grievous bodily harm -- | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
grievous She remains critically ill in | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
hospital and the father's lawyer said he would not put it any | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
stronger than her future looks uncertain. | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
A woman has been charged in connection with the murder of prison | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
officer David Black. Mr Black was killed by dissident republicans on | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
the M1 as he went to work at Maghaberry Prison in 2012. A | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
29-year-old woman arrested in Lurgan earlier this week has been charged | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
with perverting the course of justice. She's to appear before | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
Craigavon Magistrates Court next month. | :11:48. | :11:48. | |
A Sinn Fein councillor Catherine Seeley who has been the target of | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
online abuse from loyalists will not return to the Boys' Model School in | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
Belfast. She was working as a substitute teacher at the school | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
until the threats and online abuse began. The Belfast Education Board | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
says it will try to find her another post in a different board area. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
A window of a house was smashed and a disability car set on fire during | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
an attack on a house in Larne last night. It happened around 11pm in | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
Knockdhu Park in the town. The police are investigating the | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
possibility that it was a hate crime. | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
Organisers of the Giro d'Italia say the cycle race will generate two and | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
a half million pounds for the local economy in May. It's predicted that | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
more than 40,000 visitors will come here for the three days of racing. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
And as Mark Simpson reports, the organisers want us all to 'go pink'. | :12:42. | :12:55. | |
Stand by for some thrills! And some spills! And plenty of colour, | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
including one in particular, pink. The traditional colour of the Giro | :13:02. | :13:08. | |
d'Italia. If people have not had experience like in other countries, | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
the Giro d'Italia, expect to see people embracing pink. People can | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
dress their houses, their businesses, the gardens, I know from | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
the government point of view, there will be a lot of pink around the | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
race route. The pink jersey is the leader 's jersey. Everybody should | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
embrace the pink in the month of May. Day one of the races and team | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
time trial from the Titanic Quarter to Stormont. It covers more than 100 | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
miles from Belfast and the Giants Causeway. Day is from County Armagh | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
to Dublin. Local cycling fans can hardly leave their luck. 200 of the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
best cyclists in the world right here on their doorstep in three | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
week's time, and to watch that, that will be free. -- in three years | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
time. Even those in charge of crowd control are looking forward to it. I | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
cannot wait for them to get here, I ensure that everyone is excited | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
about the party that we will have for this event in Belfast. Everyone | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
is being encouraged to go pink, does that include the police? Planning is | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
in the early stages, so watch this space! It looks like it would be a | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
colourful occasion! And we will cover the build-up and | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
the event itself here on the programme. | :14:36. | :14:37. | |
Plenty to come on the programme before 7:00pm. We look forward to | :14:38. | :14:44. | |
the six Nations clash as Ireland face Wales in Dublin. | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
The Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams has claimed that the United Kingdom | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
as a Union of four countries is hanging by a thread. The Prime | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Minister David Cameron today again urged the people of Scotland to vote | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
against independence in the referendum. Here's our Political | :15:00. | :15:10. | |
Reporter Stephen Walker. The referendum may be seven months | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
away, but it is clear that the campaign is beginning to warm up. In | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
September, Scotland will be asked if they want to leave the United | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
Kingdom and make Scotland a dependent? Today, David Cameron | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
urged the Scottish people to stay in the union. I am saying a particular | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
thing today to people that live in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
who do not have a vote in this, but care passionately about the outcome. | :15:40. | :15:41. | |
I want people in Scotland to know that the rest of us in the UK, we | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
not sort of looking the other way, walking on by, just thinking, it | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
would be interesting what decision you make, we care passionately and | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
we want you to stay. Politicians in Dublin and Belfast are watching | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
events with understandable interest. Sinn Fein says the issue is a matter | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
for the people of Scotland. It is now quite clear that the so-called | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
United Kingdom is held together by a thread, and that that thread can be | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
unravelled as a result of the referendum in Scotland or elsewhere, | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
or indeed in Ireland. Some unionists say they are prepared to go to | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
Scotland to campaign for the union and they find the prospect of a yes | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
vote concerning. The unsettling and unnerving effect that a division in | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
this wonderful union would have, that it would get the tales of of | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
Irish republicans on my part of the kingdom and which drive another | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
wedge into the hearts and souls of people in Ulster. What do people | :16:41. | :16:48. | |
here think? I think it would be a loss to the rest of the UK of | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
Scotland split off and be came independent. I think they should | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
stay with the UK. Coming from the north-east of England, I think the | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
Romans were right in building the wall, the wall in keeping them out. | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
Others like Tony Blair's former adviser Jonathan Powell believes | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
that a yes vote would open up the constitutional question here at a | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
very delicate time, and there is also the issue about how the economy | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
would be affected, particularly plans to devolve corporation tax. | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
The month of September will bring some answers. | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
Now sport, and a big weekend of rugby, hurling and football. And | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
something a bit different, Thomas Niblock is in Antrim. | :17:39. | :17:48. | |
Good evening. It is nice and warm in here at the moment at the grammar | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
school, and we'll be talking in a moment about why we're here. | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
Yes, in a moment, we'll be looking at how the net is being cast wide | :17:59. | :18:02. | |
here in Antrim to find the next generation of cricketers. But first, | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
it's only the second weekend of the Six Nations and already there's a | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
potential championship decider as Ireland face Wales in Dublin, where | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
recent history shows fortune favours the visitors. | :18:12. | :18:22. | |
Still with the momentum. It is described as the only game where | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
home advantage cancer and nothing. When Ireland plays Wales, it is | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
usually very away team that wins. Just like last year in Cardiff, just | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
like the before in Dublin. I had to the mix, the growing rivalry between | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
the countries, the grit and the needle are firing at Grand Slam | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
when. -- are inspiring a Grand Slam when. Plenty to talk about, not | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
least the decision by Warren Gatland to drop Brian O'Driscoll from the | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
lines during the summer. -- the Lions to drink the summer. Are you | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
annoyed because your selection was vindicated by your successor? I | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
would rather not talk about Brian O'Driscoll, I want to talk about the | :19:13. | :19:21. | |
match. When players know each other, they associate pretty well with each | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
other. Paul O'Connell was talking about always feeling that Mike | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
Phillips was difficult to play against and getting angry with him | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
on occasions, but he is a great fella, and they kicked around | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
together on the Lions tour. It is like when you compete with your | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
brother, you are much more competitive, because the last thing | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
you want to do is lose to your brother. Celtic brothers? For 80 | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
minutes tomorrow, it will be anything but. | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
And that takes place tomorrow in Dublin. | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
Now, early in the New Year, BBC Newsline we brought you the story of | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
Ryan O'Hagan, the teenage rugby player who broke his back playing | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
the sport. He's now fully recovered, he's back playing and tonight he's | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
meeting his heroes as Ulster play Ospreys at Ravenhill. Mark | :20:12. | :20:20. | |
Sidebottom has more. Ryan O'Hagan's remarkable story | :20:21. | :20:29. | |
continues, this is the walk you have always wanted to take, but a few | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
months ago, you thought you might never take it. The recovery | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
continues. Yes, thankfully it has. But it has been difficult. Paddy | :20:40. | :20:51. | |
O'Connell is the one you want to meet, are you looking forward to it? | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
I hope they can do it, they have the power, let's go. A few months ago, | :20:57. | :21:08. | |
you're told you could never play again, how is recovery going? I am | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
very grateful about it. I have to put it down to luck. Ireland to | :21:17. | :21:34. | |
win, Ulster to win, it is a double? Yes, absolutely! | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
To local football and this weekend it's the sixth round of the Irish | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
Cup. Linfield host Ballymena United who last won the trophy 25 years | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
ago, but former Linfield star, Glenn Fergusson, is hoping to lead the Sky | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
Blues to victory. It doesn't matter who we beat, at this moment in time, | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
I am the manager of Ballymena United, irrespective of who we play, | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
we have to try and win games. If we were playing any of the other teams | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
this weekend, my objection is to go and win the game. -- my objective. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
It is time we won this again. In Gaelic football, there's a game | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
tonight in the national league as Armagh take on Down at the Athletics | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Grounds, already a vital match as both sides drew their first game in | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
the competition last weekend. Throw-in is at 8:00, and we'll have | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
the result on our later bulletin. Meanwhile, Loughgiel Shamrocks hope | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
to book a place in the All Ireland club hurling final for the second | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
time in three years - they take on Mount Leinster Shamrocks in their | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
semifinal at Pairc Esler in Newry tomorrow. And we have full live | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
commentary online on the BBC Sport NI website tomorrow from three. | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
Now it's a busy weekend of sport at both the top end and here at | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
grassroots level where Muckamore cricket club are hoping to develop | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
the next generation of Irish cricketers. We have some critic -- | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
cricketers who would like to introduce you to, why are we here, | :22:54. | :23:00. | |
why is it important? On a Friday night, here in County Antrim, it is | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
great to see so many young children from all backgrounds here playing | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
cricket. One of our up and coming bowlers is from this area, so it is | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
great to see such a wide spectrum of people here at this time of the | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
year. You are representing the Northern Cricket union, there is a | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
theory that cricket is for posh children only, is that correct? That | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
might be the perception, but that is not the case, it is open to all | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
backgrounds, and at the moment we have got numerous children around | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
the problems in areas that were not traditionally seen as a cricket | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
playing, and that will continue to build. Cricket is a growing sport | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
and there are fantastic opportunities here. Will that be | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
different skills, Catholic schools, non-grammar schools? Yes, that is | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
happening all across the season and that will continue to grow as the | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
development officers go into the schools, so it is a great | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
opportunity for all walks of life. You're keen for the winning streaks | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
to continue? Yes, children from all backgrounds can make it in a sport | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
that traditionally was not for them, so we are looking for future players | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
for Mike Moore, Ulster and for Ireland. Thank you. Whe Michigan and | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
luck with that, a noisy, enthusiastic bunch, but it is a very | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
good sporting weekend and now back to the warm studio. | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
Now, the weather. I noticed a lot of flooded fields when I was out and | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
about today, very difficult for all of the animals. | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
Yes, very difficult, there is some rain around this weekend, so it is | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
difficult not just for the farmers, but for sporting occasions, because | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
of the wet pictures also. It is hard to believe it was sunny earlier | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
today, because it has changed so quickly in the last few hours. Some | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
people had their washing out and it drives today, so that is the sign of | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
spring to come. At the moment, we have some rain, if it is not raining | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
where you are the moment, it will be very soon. Some heavy rain in the | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
next three, four hours until about 1am. The wind is strengthening, | :25:26. | :25:34. | |
especially during the East Coast, and because the ground is so wet, | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
there could be some localised flooding. The rain will not last all | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
night, by the morning, some dry places again. It could get quite | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
chilly in some rural spots, but as it starts to dry up, it will not be | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
for long. The main emphasis tomorrow will be lots of showers and some of | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
the wind will be quite gusty. Only if you are very early will you see | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
some guaranteed dry weather, otherwise, showers will be frequent | :26:01. | :26:04. | |
and prolonged across many parts of Northern Ireland during the morning. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
Some of them heavy with rail thunder. -- hale and thunder. By | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
lunchtime, bring your umbrella, because the rain is never too far | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
away. Not enough a lot of brightness to Marikana said feeling cool, | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
especially after today with the lovely sunshine. From TPM Allred, | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
all eyes will be focused on the Republic of Ireland further will be | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
lots of showers and of course, at the Aviva Stadium, some tricky | :26:35. | :26:47. | |
weather and the Welsh -- for the Irish and the Welsh. Temperatures of | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
one, two degrees. A little bit of a gap in the showers on Sunday, some | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
sunshine in the east, most of the showers in the West. I cannot | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
guarantee it will stay dry, but there should be more in the way of | :27:01. | :27:05. | |
sunshine. Monday, it will quite down as we come back to work and to | :27:06. | :27:10. | |
school, but look what is coming on Tuesday. Yes, someone low-pressure | :27:11. | :27:13. | |
just waiting to pounce and that will mean more wet and windy weather for | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
the next week. Be prepared for some frost and stay up-to-date with the | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
programme this weekend. That is that from us, the late | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
summary is 10:25pm, check the Facebook page, there is a lot of | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
talk thereabouts last night's underage drinking at the Odyssey | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
Arena in Belfast. BBC Newsline is also on Twitter, whatever you are | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
doing this weekend, have | :27:45. | :27:45. |
