Good afternoon. A three-month-old baby girl who died in hospital last

:00:24.:00:24.

night after being admitted with injuries earlier this week was

:00:25.:00:27.

Caragh Walsh. Yesterday, the baby's father, 23-year-old Christopher

:00:28.:00:29.

O'Neill from Glasvey Park in Twinbrook, in west Belfast, appeared

:00:30.:00:32.

in court charged with grievous bodily harm against the child. A

:00:33.:00:34.

postmortem examination will take place in the next few days.

:00:35.:00:38.

A teacher who left the Boys' Model School in north Belfast after she

:00:39.:00:41.

was the target of sectarian intimidation has addressed delegates

:00:42.:00:44.

at the Sinn Fein Ard Fheis in County Wexford. Catherine Seeley, who is

:00:45.:00:47.

also a Sinn Fein councillor in Craigavon, said she wanted to thank

:00:48.:00:50.

the pupils for their support. Yesterday, a statement released by

:00:51.:00:53.

the school and Belfast Education and Library Board said Ms Seeley would

:00:54.:00:57.

be redeployed to a teaching post in another board area after requesting

:00:58.:01:01.

a move. In the past few weeks in my role as a teacher, I have been

:01:02.:01:06.

subjected to a campaign of sectarian intimidation. I have already

:01:07.:01:10.

expressed my warm thanks to all who have offered me support, family,

:01:11.:01:16.

friends, colleagues, trade unionists, educationalists and

:01:17.:01:19.

politicians from various parties. But I want to take this up at Unity

:01:20.:01:23.

publicly send a message of gratitude to those pupils of that school in

:01:24.:01:31.

north Belfast who have courageously offered me their full support.

:01:32.:01:35.

There has been a shooting incident at a house in north Belfast. Two

:01:36.:01:38.

shots were fired into the window of the house in Glenbank Parade shortly

:01:39.:01:42.

before 7.30 last night. No-one was in the house at the time.

:01:43.:01:46.

The first ever trade mission involving Britain, the Republic and

:01:47.:01:49.

Northern Ireland gets under way in Asia next week. It's being billed as

:01:50.:01:53.

part of a programme of cooperation to strengthen Anglo-Irish relations.

:01:54.:01:57.

Nine companies from here will join the Enterprise Minister Arlene

:01:58.:02:01.

Foster at the Singapore Air Show. The delegation is being led by UK

:02:02.:02:04.

transport minister Stephen Hammond and Irish jobs minister Richard

:02:05.:02:09.

Bruton. Mrs Foster says that while she hopes the trade mission will

:02:10.:02:12.

bring economic benefit, it's also politically significant. It is a

:02:13.:02:23.

strong message that came out after her Majesty the Queen visited the

:02:24.:02:29.

Republic of Ireland for the first time. Our minister want to send a

:02:30.:02:34.

strong message about how both countries are moving on. If we can

:02:35.:02:38.

do business in Singapore together, that is very positive. But my focus

:02:39.:02:42.

is on bringing business back to Northern Ireland.

:02:43.:02:45.

Rugby, and Ulster beat The Ospreys 10-7 at Ravenhill last night in the

:02:46.:02:49.

Pro 12 to move up to second place in the table. The Ospreys began the

:02:50.:02:53.

scoring with a try from Sam Lewis after ten minutes. Ruan Pienaar got

:02:54.:03:00.

the first points for the home side with this penalty after 23 minutes.

:03:01.:03:04.

Ulster's only try in the match came early in the second half from Darren

:03:05.:03:07.

Cave. It was converted by Pienaar. In Gaelic football, a late goal from

:03:08.:03:11.

Down captain Mark Poland earned his side a two-point win over 14-man

:03:12.:03:14.

Armagh in last night's League Division Two game at the Athletic

:03:15.:03:18.

Grounds. The final score, Armagh two goals and five points, Down two

:03:19.:03:21.

goals and seven points. It's never too late to take up a new

:03:22.:03:24.

challenge, especially if it improves your quality of life. That's the

:03:25.:03:28.

message from one 93-year-old who has begun yoga lessons after moving into

:03:29.:03:38.

a care home. She says the yoga classes are great exercise and a

:03:39.:03:45.

good social outlet. Touching your toes is a struggle for

:03:46.:03:50.

most of us. But this group of elderly pensioners would put many

:03:51.:03:54.

people to shame. They are part of a group of 80 and 19-year-olds who

:03:55.:03:57.

attend an hour-long yoga session every week. -- 80 and 90-year-olds.

:03:58.:04:04.

Among them was 93-year-old Beatrice Harper, who moved into this nursing

:04:05.:04:08.

home recently and decided to take up yoga a fortnight ago. I thought I

:04:09.:04:13.

needed exercise. I think to be just sitting all day and just eating,

:04:14.:04:23.

with no exercise... Instructor says yoga brings a lot of important

:04:24.:04:26.

mental, as well as the obvious physical benefits. It is also a lot

:04:27.:04:36.

to do with the spine. So we do a lot of work to keep the spine healthy

:04:37.:04:39.

and supple. Then there was the mental aspect I'm going into

:04:40.:04:43.

breeding and using techniques of relics Asian. The pensioners say it

:04:44.:04:48.

is a tough work-out, but worth the effort.

:04:49.:04:56.

Low pressure is in control, meaning we are in for an unsettled weekend.

:04:57.:05:02.

We have a scattering of showers today. There will be some decent dry

:05:03.:05:10.

spells as well. If you are heading to Dublin for the Six Nations game,

:05:11.:05:15.

you will want to keep water proves handy in case there are one or two

:05:16.:05:22.

showers. Swear, it is an unsettled day the board. Best dry weather will

:05:23.:05:28.

be towards the eastern areas of England. The emphasis is on strong

:05:29.:05:37.

winds, up to maybe 80 miles an hour. Further north, it will still be

:05:38.:05:40.

blustery, with scattered showers and spells of rain. There will be a lull

:05:41.:05:46.

in the wind in the afternoon, but in the evening, the winds will pick up

:05:47.:05:49.

again. Not especially chilly tonight. Tomorrow, there will be a

:05:50.:05:57.

scattering of showers, but not as many as today. And between the

:05:58.:06:01.

showers, it will lighten up. By the afternoon, we should see good spells

:06:02.:06:13.

of sunshine developing. Scattered showers coming in and spilling into

:06:14.:06:16.

Monday. A few of them could be wintry over the high ground, but we

:06:17.:06:21.

expect some decent weather as well. By Tuesday, another system will come

:06:22.:06:25.

in from the Atlantic, meaning it will be wet and windy again.
