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

:00:00.:00:00.

Good evening. A 23-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of

:00:00.:00:09.

attempted murder after a 28-year-old man was stabbed in North Belfast

:00:10.:00:14.

this morning. A local councillor says the incident has caused concern

:00:15.:00:18.

in the local community. Kevin Sharkey reports.

:00:19.:00:26.

Glenbryn Park this morning, and no sign of what happened earlier. Hours

:00:27.:00:32.

after an incident which left one man in hospital and another in police

:00:33.:00:37.

custody. The exact details are not clear but it happened early in the

:00:38.:00:41.

morning. The victim was stabbed in the chest and taken to hospital. The

:00:42.:00:45.

police say his life is not in danger. A city councillor who lives

:00:46.:00:48.

on the streets as the community is concerned. It is an area we want to

:00:49.:00:53.

regenerate. There is some new housing. Every time I is pulled,

:00:54.:01:00.

you're risking death. You are also risking very long prison sentences.

:01:01.:01:09.

It is both carrot and stick, the police have to be firm, but also,

:01:10.:01:13.

the dangers and education of people of what life culture will lead to.

:01:14.:01:19.

Detectives are still try to find out more about what led to the stabbing.

:01:20.:01:23.

They want to hear from anyone who was in the area at the time.

:01:24.:01:26.

A call for the Prime Minister to meet the Ballymurphy families has

:01:27.:01:29.

been backed by the Shadow Secretary of State. Eleven people were killed

:01:30.:01:32.

in Ballymurphy by soldiers from the Parachute Regiment in August 1971.

:01:33.:01:37.

Ivan Lewis told Sunday Politics he's due to meet the relatives himself in

:01:38.:01:46.

Belfast this week. There are questions to answer, I

:01:47.:01:50.

will certainly be meeting with them, engaging with them, and clarifying

:01:51.:01:53.

what our position is on the nature of any enquiry. But of course, if

:01:54.:01:57.

they have requested a meeting with the Prime Minister, of course he

:01:58.:02:02.

shuts down and meet them. -- he should.

:02:03.:02:04.

Gardai in Dublin have launched a murder investigation after the death

:02:05.:02:07.

of a man in his 60s. It's understood a group of people had gathered to

:02:08.:02:10.

watch the Ireland-Wales rugby match at a flat in Terenure, when the

:02:11.:02:14.

emergency services were called shortly before 6pm last night. The

:02:15.:02:17.

man had suffered head injuries and was pronounced dead in hospital. A

:02:18.:02:20.

man in his 30s is being questioned and a forensic examination of the

:02:21.:02:26.

flat is being carried out. Detectives are appealing for

:02:27.:02:28.

information after an aggravated burglary in Antrim. It happened

:02:29.:02:32.

yesterday morning in the Kilgreel Road area. Two masked men forced

:02:33.:02:36.

their way into the house and assaulted a man with what's believed

:02:37.:02:40.

to be a metal bar. His injuries aren't thought to be life

:02:41.:02:44.

threatening. A second man in the house wasn't injured.

:02:45.:02:48.

MPs in Westminster are to vote tomorrow on legislation to ban

:02:49.:02:53.

smoking in cars with children. The proposal has already been passed by

:02:54.:02:57.

the House of Lords. Any ban would only apply in England initially, but

:02:58.:03:00.

Northern Ireland Chest, Heart Stroke is calling on the Assembly to

:03:01.:03:10.

take action as well. There could be 18 months before we get on the

:03:11.:03:14.

starting block for legislation. So I would make a plea, if this does go

:03:15.:03:19.

through in Parliament, that our road Northern Ireland Assembly members

:03:20.:03:21.

put the shoulder to the wheel and make sure that every effort is made

:03:22.:03:24.

to have similar protection in Northern Ireland for Northern

:03:25.:03:27.

Ireland children. There was disappointment at the

:03:28.:03:30.

Winter Olympics on the slopes in Sochi this morning, for local

:03:31.:03:35.

snowboarder Aimee Fuller. The 21-year-old from Bangor was

:03:36.:03:38.

competing for a place in the Slopestyle finals. But despite high

:03:39.:03:42.

hopes, she failed to land her double backflip for the second time and

:03:43.:03:51.

missed out. I am smiling, unfortunately I didn't land. Like I

:03:52.:03:54.

said in the first run, I thought I might as well put all my cards on

:03:55.:03:58.

the table and go for it. If I had gone down we would have been on the

:03:59.:04:03.

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

:04:04.:04:06.

the Olympics. A building block for the next one.

:04:07.:04:08.

GAA now and in today's national league matches, there were wins for

:04:09.:04:11.

Derry over Kerry, Tyrone over Mayo, Donegal defeated Galway, Monaghan

:04:12.:04:14.

beat Meath, Cavan beat Offaly and Wicklow defeated Antrim.

:04:15.:04:21.

In ice hockey, the Belfast Giants have moved 22 points clear at the

:04:22.:04:25.

top of the Elite League. The Giants defeated the Fife Flyers at the

:04:26.:04:29.

Odyssey Arena last night. The 6-4 victory over the visitors was their

:04:30.:04:32.

second win of the weekend after Friday night's 3-0 win at home to

:04:33.:04:43.

the Hull Stingrays. If we would have thought we would

:04:44.:04:46.

have this could lead, 12 games into the season, I think to be in this

:04:47.:04:56.

position is exceptional. It just shows our consistency this year. It

:04:57.:05:00.

shows the level of commitment from our players. The play hard every

:05:01.:05:04.

night and do whatever it ticks to win.

:05:05.:05:06.

Fans of Irish traditional music flocked to Londonderry this weekend

:05:07.:05:09.

as the first legacy event from the All-Ireland Fleadh got underway

:05:10.:05:12.

yesterday. More than 400,000 people attended the Fleadh when it was

:05:13.:05:15.

staged in Derry during the summer. This weekend, a number of sessions

:05:16.:05:18.

and special workshops were hosted in various venues across the city to

:05:19.:05:31.

build on its success. It is all about bringing people who have gone

:05:32.:05:35.

to the level in their careers, aspiring musicians, I think it is

:05:36.:05:41.

really important that we let people know there is a process to get

:05:42.:05:47.

there. It is a journey between getting there and where you are now.

:05:48.:05:51.

Also the wonderful directions and opportunities.

:05:52.:05:53.

Now, time for a look at the weather, here's Barra Best.

:05:54.:05:59.

It is going to be a chilly night, because of those clear skies. The

:06:00.:06:05.

Met Office has issued a weather warning for ice forming on untreated

:06:06.:06:09.

surfaces. If you're out and about tonight, or tomorrow morning, there

:06:10.:06:15.

that are mine. A widespread frost. Most towns and cities should manage

:06:16.:06:20.

to stay above freezing. In the countryside, it will be colder than

:06:21.:06:22.

that with temperatures falling below zero. Some wet weather over the high

:06:23.:06:28.

ground, especially in the West. Monday will not be a bad start.

:06:29.:06:32.

Tomorrow morning there will be some rain but by the afternoon, edible

:06:33.:06:36.

brighten up again. -- it will brighten up. We have this band of

:06:37.:06:42.

wet weather pushing East. Some of it will be wintry over the high

:06:43.:06:44.

ground. Most should clear by lunchtime. Then it will be a pretty

:06:45.:06:50.

good day. Plenty of dry, bright and sunny weather. Elsewhere, some

:06:51.:06:55.

showery rain for Scotland into the North West of England. And for Wales

:06:56.:06:58.

and maybe into parts of the South West. Showers for the East of

:06:59.:07:02.

England. In between, body of dry and sunny weather. Tomorrow afternoon,

:07:03.:07:07.

you will not need an umbrella, it is going to be dry with plenty of

:07:08.:07:12.

sunshine. Tomorrow evening, we had of a band of rain pushing him.

:07:13.:07:17.

Behind it, it will turn quite cold. Some of the weather we see on

:07:18.:07:22.

Tuesday will be falling as sleet or snow man with temperatures of just

:07:23.:07:27.

three or four degrees, wrap up warm. That's all for now, we're back at

:07:28.:07:29.

10:15pm. Goodbye for now.
