:00:00. > :00:19.Hello and welcome. The governor of the Bank of England has said

:00:20. > :00:22.Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where house prices are not

:00:23. > :00:28.recovering. Mark Carney said house price recovery is a generalised

:00:29. > :00:30.phenomenon aside from here. He said the most recent statistics from

:00:31. > :00:37.Northern Ireland suggest a modest recovery has begun. In Northern

:00:38. > :00:42.Ireland, the property price index showed quarter on quarter and year

:00:43. > :00:49.on year rises in the third quarter of 2013. The Bank of England has

:00:50. > :00:55.stood by Mr Carney's comments. I will say, if you look at the UK as a

:00:56. > :01:01.whole, everywhere bar Northern Ireland, you are seeing house prices

:01:02. > :01:07.begin to recover. So it is a more generalised phenomenon. Northern

:01:08. > :01:13.Ireland's prices haven't seen the recovery everywhere else has seen,

:01:14. > :01:21.but they are probably going to be for 2013, they will be broadly flat.

:01:22. > :01:27.I expect to see growth of about 5% this year. On Wednesday, we will see

:01:28. > :01:30.the Department of Finance and personnel's Price index, I think

:01:31. > :01:35.they will show further evidence that tentative signs of a housing

:01:36. > :01:41.recovery are underway. The police are treating an attack on

:01:42. > :01:44.house in North bowl fast as a hate crime. A number of windows were

:01:45. > :01:50.smashed the front of the house in Deacon Street at around 2am. No one

:01:51. > :01:58.was injured. It is understood a young child was among those in the

:01:59. > :02:03.house at the time of the attack. Speaking on behalf of the whole

:02:04. > :02:06.community, speaking on behalf of everyone, actions like this aren't

:02:07. > :02:11.welcome here, for this community or any community. This community has

:02:12. > :02:13.come through a lot in the past and actions like this don't help because

:02:14. > :02:25.we are rebuilding ourselves a woman has been taken to hospital

:02:26. > :02:31.after inhaling fumes. Fire crews were called to the house at around

:02:32. > :02:35.1pm. The woman, her partner and a young child were living at the

:02:36. > :02:38.property. The fire officer in ties of the operation says it is

:02:39. > :02:45.important that oil burners are properly serviced. We sent crews in

:02:46. > :02:50.with gas monitors to investigate, they have ascertained it was due to

:02:51. > :02:55.a 40 burner at the rear of the promises, and oil fired burner which

:02:56. > :03:00.was in severe need of servicing. She has been taken in by the paramedics,

:03:01. > :03:06.she has suffered a mild condition from inhalation. A man has been

:03:07. > :03:13.arrested after police seized a mission in Belfast. He was detained

:03:14. > :03:19.after officers carried out a planned investigation. He has been charged

:03:20. > :03:23.with possessing munition under suspicious circumstances. In the

:03:31. > :03:33.bad weather. Electricity has been restored to thousands of customers

:03:34. > :03:37.last night but many others are without telephone or broadband

:04:28. > :04:35.minute goal but some Vincent ran out winners. They hit us again in the

:04:36. > :04:40.second half, with little down and came at them again, we headed down

:04:41. > :04:43.to a point but they just kicked on. They were just a bit more ruthless

:04:44. > :04:50.with the ball, and up front, they gutted their quicker. We were taking

:04:51. > :04:57.the ball to within their scoring zone, they were hitting us on the

:04:58. > :05:00.counterattack. The Belfast Giants are on the verge of securing the

:05:01. > :05:04.elite league crown after a victory over Nottingham. They could seal the

:05:05. > :05:09.title on Sunday if they beat Nottingham again and both Sheffield

:05:28. > :05:41.died. Time for the weather. We finally got to enjoy an afternoon

:05:42. > :05:47.without the threat of ring. Unfortunately it is going to become

:05:48. > :05:51.more unsettled. Eventually, as we go through the night, we will have rain

:05:52. > :05:55.coming in, but the good news is, because of the rain and cloud, there

:05:56. > :06:00.is no ice or frost in the forecast, temperatures stay in the mid-single

:06:01. > :06:07.figures. The Newsweek will get off to an unsettled start. A fair amount

:06:08. > :06:11.of rain out there, not for everyone, it will come and go through the day

:06:12. > :06:18.but there will also be good dry spells as well. The low pressure

:06:19. > :06:25.system will take hold across Britain and Ireland tomorrow, so a similar

:06:26. > :06:29.picture for us all. Outbreaks of rain and scattered showers and

:06:30. > :06:33.breezy at times as well. For Northern Ireland, we could see

:06:34. > :06:36.temperatures topping nine or 10 degrees, above average, but you will

:06:37. > :06:41.want to keep the umbrella handy. Most of the wet weather will clear

:06:42. > :06:49.tomorrow night into Tuesday, and Tuesday for the most part is looking

:06:50. > :07:00.dry. Later in the day we will start to see more unsettled weather coming

:07:01. > :07:03.in. Wednesday is shaping up to be a decent day, dry and bright weather,

:07:04. > :07:04.it won't be until Thursday that we begin to see another weather system
