:00:00. > :00:00.That's all for now. I will be back with

:00:00. > :00:09.Good evening. A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of

:00:10. > :00:14.attempted murder after a 28-year-old man was stabbed in North Belfast

:00:15. > :00:18.this morning. A local councillor says the incident has caused concern

:00:19. > :00:26.in the local community. Kevin Sharkey reports.

:00:27. > :00:32.Glenbryn Park this morning, and no sign of what happened earlier. Hours

:00:33. > :00:37.after an incident which left one man in hospital and another in police

:00:38. > :00:41.custody. The exact details are not clear but it happened early in the

:00:42. > :00:45.morning. The victim was stabbed in the chest and taken to hospital. The

:00:46. > :00:48.police say his life is not in danger. A city councillor who lives

:00:49. > :00:53.on the streets as the community is concerned. It is an area we want to

:00:54. > :01:00.regenerate. There is some new housing. Every time I is pulled,

:01:01. > :01:09.you're risking death. You are also risking very long prison sentences.

:01:10. > :01:13.It is both carrot and stick, the police have to be firm, but also,

:01:14. > :01:19.the dangers and education of people of what life culture will lead to.

:01:20. > :01:23.Detectives are still try to find out more about what led to the stabbing.

:01:24. > :01:26.They want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time.

:01:27. > :01:29.A call for the Prime Minister to meet the Ballymurphy families has

:01:30. > :01:32.been backed by the Shadow Secretary of State. Eleven people were killed

:01:33. > :01:37.in Ballymurphy by soldiers from the Parachute Regiment in August 1971.

:01:38. > :01:46.Ivan Lewis told Sunday Politics he's due to meet the relatives himself in

:01:47. > :01:50.Belfast this week. There are questions to answer, I

:01:51. > :01:53.will certainly be meeting with them, engaging with them, and clarifying

:01:54. > :01:57.what our position is on the nature of any enquiry. But of course, if

:01:58. > :02:02.they have requested a meeting with the Prime Minister, of course he

:02:03. > :02:04.shuts down and meet them. -- he should.

:02:05. > :02:07.Gardai in Dublin have launched a murder investigation after the death

:02:08. > :02:10.of a man in his 60s. It's understood a group of people had gathered to

:02:11. > :02:14.watch the Ireland-Wales rugby match at a flat in Terenure, when the

:02:15. > :02:17.emergency services were called shortly before 6pm last night. The

:02:18. > :02:20.man had suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead in hospital. A

:02:21. > :02:26.man in his 30s is being questioned and a forensic examination of the

:02:27. > :02:28.flat is being carried out. Detectives are appealing for

:02:29. > :02:32.information after an aggravated burglary in Antrim. It happened

:02:33. > :02:36.yesterday morning in the Kilgreel Road area. Two masked men forced

:02:37. > :02:40.their way into the house and assaulted a man with what's believed

:02:41. > :02:44.to be a metal bar. His injuries aren't thought to be life

:02:45. > :02:48.threatening. A second man in the house wasn't injured.

:02:49. > :02:53.MPs in Westminster are to vote tomorrow on legislation to ban

:02:54. > :02:57.smoking in cars with children. The proposal has already been passed by

:02:58. > :03:00.the House of Lords. Any ban would only apply in England initially, but

:03:01. > :03:10.Northern Ireland Chest, Heart Stroke is calling on the Assembly to

:03:11. > :03:14.take action as well. There could be 18 months before we get on the

:03:15. > :03:19.starting block for legislation. So I would make a plea, if this does go

:03:20. > :03:21.through in Parliament, that our road Northern Ireland Assembly members

:03:22. > :03:24.put the shoulder to the wheel and make sure that every effort is made

:03:25. > :03:27.to have similar protection in Northern Ireland for Northern

:03:28. > :03:30.Ireland children. There was disappointment at the

:03:31. > :03:35.Winter Olympics on the slopes in Sochi this morning, for local

:03:36. > :03:38.snowboarder Aimee Fuller. The 21-year-old from Bangor was

:03:39. > :03:42.competing for a place in the Slopestyle finals. But despite high

:03:43. > :03:51.hopes, she failed to land her double backflip for the second time and

:03:52. > :03:54.missed out. I am smiling, unfortunately I didn't land. Like I

:03:55. > :03:58.said in the first run, I thought I might as well put all my cards on

:03:59. > :04:03.the table and go for it. If I had gone down we would have been on the

:04:04. > :04:06.money. But it is a great experience, the first time I have competed in

:04:07. > :04:08.the Olympics. A building block for the next one.

:04:09. > :04:11.GAA now and in today's national league matches, there were wins for

:04:12. > :04:14.Derry over Kerry, Tyrone over Mayo, Donegal defeated Galway, Monaghan

:04:15. > :04:21.beat Meath, Cavan beat Offaly and Wicklow defeated Antrim.

:04:22. > :04:25.In ice hockey, the Belfast Giants have moved 22 points clear at the

:04:26. > :04:29.top of the Elite League. The Giants defeated the Fife Flyers at the

:04:30. > :04:32.Odyssey Arena last night. The 6-4 victory over the visitors was their

:04:33. > :04:43.second win of the weekend after Friday night's 3-0 win at home to

:04:44. > :04:46.the Hull Stingrays. If we would have thought we would

:04:47. > :04:56.have this could lead, 12 games into the season, I think to be in this

:04:57. > :05:00.position is exceptional. It just shows our consistency this year. It

:05:01. > :05:04.shows the level of commitment from our players. The play hard every

:05:05. > :05:06.night and do whatever it ticks to win.

:05:07. > :05:09.Fans of Irish traditional music flocked to Londonderry this weekend

:05:10. > :05:12.as the first legacy event from the All-Ireland Fleadh got underway

:05:13. > :05:15.yesterday. More than 400,000 people attended the Fleadh when it was

:05:16. > :05:18.staged in Derry during the summer. This weekend, a number of sessions

:05:19. > :05:31.and special workshops were hosted in various venues across the city to

:05:32. > :05:35.build on its success. It is all about bringing people who have gone

:05:36. > :05:41.to the level in their careers, aspiring musicians, I think it is

:05:42. > :05:47.really important that we let people know there is a process to get

:05:48. > :05:51.there. It is a journey between getting there and where you are now.

:05:52. > :05:53.Also the wonderful directions and opportunities.

:05:54. > :05:59.Now, time for a look at the weather, here's Barra Best.

:06:00. > :06:05.It is going to be a chilly night, because of those clear skies. The

:06:06. > :06:09.Met Office has issued a weather warning for ice forming on untreated

:06:10. > :06:15.surfaces. If you're out and about tonight, or tomorrow morning, there

:06:16. > :06:20.that are mine. A widespread frost. Most towns and cities should manage

:06:21. > :06:22.to stay above freezing. In the countryside, it will be colder than

:06:23. > :06:28.that with temperatures falling below zero. Some wet weather over the high

:06:29. > :06:32.ground, especially in the West. Monday will not be a bad start.

:06:33. > :06:36.Tomorrow morning there will be some rain but by the afternoon, edible

:06:37. > :06:42.brighten up again. -- it will brighten up. We have this band of

:06:43. > :06:44.wet weather pushing East. Some of it will be wintry over the high

:06:45. > :06:50.ground. Most should clear by lunchtime. Then it will be a pretty

:06:51. > :06:55.good day. Plenty of dry, bright and sunny weather. Elsewhere, some

:06:56. > :06:58.showery rain for Scotland into the North West of England. And for Wales

:06:59. > :07:02.and maybe into parts of the South West. Showers for the East of

:07:03. > :07:07.England. In between, body of dry and sunny weather. Tomorrow afternoon,

:07:08. > :07:12.you will not need an umbrella, it is going to be dry with plenty of

:07:13. > :07:17.sunshine. Tomorrow evening, we had of a band of rain pushing him.

:07:18. > :07:22.Behind it, it will turn quite cold. Some of the weather we see on

:07:23. > :07:27.Tuesday will be falling as sleet or snow man with temperatures of just

:07:28. > :07:29.three or four degrees, wrap up warm. That's all for now, we're back at

:07:30. > :07:31.10:15pm. Goodbye for now.
