:00:00. > :00:16.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline.
:00:17. > :00:26.Behind closed doors - emergency care nurses tell the Health Minster they
:00:27. > :00:29.want immediate action. Eating disorders minus one woman
:00:30. > :00:37.talks about her 30 year battle with bulimia. You never eat a piece, you
:00:38. > :00:46.eat the whole thing. And when it is done, anything else you can get down
:00:47. > :00:50.your stomach. Major repair work after thieves risked their lives
:00:51. > :00:53.chopping down poles to get copper. As housing prices show their biggest
:00:54. > :00:56.annual rise in six years, does that mean the economy is on the road to
:00:57. > :01:00.recovery? Great news for local golf fans as
:01:01. > :01:03.next year's Irish Open will be held at Royal County Down in Newcastle.
:01:04. > :01:06.And heavy rain makes a return visit tonight with the risk of some
:01:07. > :01:12.flooding - I'll have the detail where you are later in the
:01:13. > :01:15.programme. Nurses who work in emergency care
:01:16. > :01:18.have told the Health Minister that staffing levels are so low that
:01:19. > :01:24.they've been left feeling battered, bruised and deflated. Just weeks
:01:25. > :01:27.after a major incident was called at the Royal Victoria hospital, a
:01:28. > :01:31.special summit meeting heard that the standard of care is so low that
:01:32. > :01:36.nurses are at risk of being de-registered. In response, the
:01:37. > :01:39.minister said until recently their voices hadn't been heard. Our Health
:01:40. > :01:46.Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports.
:01:47. > :01:55.While the minister saw today's summit as an opportunity to
:01:56. > :01:59.listen... Whichever way you want at the end of it. Others, however, on
:02:00. > :02:02.the other side likened it to entering the lion's den. Now they'd
:02:03. > :02:08.got the Minister's attention, their message was loud and clear. The
:02:09. > :02:14.reality is, staffing levels are so dire that to release people is a
:02:15. > :02:18.religion logistical nightmare. The timing of this so-called emergency
:02:19. > :02:21.summit was perfect. Since January's major incident was called at the
:02:22. > :02:25.Royal Victoria Hospital's emergency department, once again the focus has
:02:26. > :02:30.been on staffing and quality of care. Again, about staff feeling
:02:31. > :02:35.that they are taking on more and more of other speciality duties, for
:02:36. > :02:40.example clerical duties, answering phones, entering Datta into
:02:41. > :02:43.computers. When we do that, it means we are being taken away from caring
:02:44. > :02:48.for our patients and that is why we came into nursing, to care. During a
:02:49. > :02:51.closed session, when the media was asked to leave, nurses told the
:02:52. > :02:54.minister that the quality of care was in such jeopardy they were at
:02:55. > :02:57.risk of being de-registered. Despite 18 months of crisis care headlines,
:02:58. > :03:07.Edwin Poots said until recently, this message hadn't been getting
:03:08. > :03:09.through. Do you acknowledge that perhaps this listening exercise
:03:10. > :03:15.should have been done a long time ago? I would say that messages, for
:03:16. > :03:17.whatever reason, having come through to ourselves and therefore the
:03:18. > :03:20.responses have not been as quick as they should have been. So what are
:03:21. > :03:23.the solutions? According to local nurses who are being trained in
:03:24. > :03:33.England, it's time NI recognises their potential. I am able to
:03:34. > :03:39.clinically assessed, trade and diagnose Abe patient, and I am an
:03:40. > :03:43.independent nurse prescriber who can prescribe drugs and other care for a
:03:44. > :03:46.patient as they leave the department. If the emergency system
:03:47. > :03:48.is to undergo massive change, according to the visitors, it's
:03:49. > :03:55.essential that alternative arrangements in the community are
:03:56. > :04:01.already in place. I think we have got to invest in those services
:04:02. > :04:04.before we start reconfiguring any emergency care services and
:04:05. > :04:08.crucially, they have got to be available seven days a week. While
:04:09. > :04:16.nurses are demanding action, what they don't want to see happening is
:04:17. > :04:19.a knee jerk reaction. Instead, the response should be measured to the
:04:20. > :04:21.system is sustainable not just in the short-term, but in the long-term
:04:22. > :04:24.as well. Last night, we brought you the story
:04:25. > :04:28.of the two families devastated by the loss of their children from
:04:29. > :04:31.eating disorders. One viewer got in touch to say she's been suffering
:04:32. > :04:35.from bulimia for more than 30 years, and echoes the calls for better
:04:36. > :04:46.medical intervention. BBC Newsline's Tara Mills went to meet her.
:04:47. > :04:50.Glenda Greg has lived with an eating disorder all of her adult life.
:04:51. > :04:55.Being overweight as a child called the attention of bullies at school.
:04:56. > :05:03.That impacts in your head. The fear of being fat is phenomenal, even
:05:04. > :05:11.now. It is just a phobia of being fat. Bully me is easier to hide than
:05:12. > :05:14.anorexia for Soc -- bulimia. But there is nothing easy to hide about
:05:15. > :05:22.the quantities of food involved. You do not eat a piece of something,
:05:23. > :05:27.either whole thing. And then, frozen food, anything you can get into your
:05:28. > :05:34.stomach. Help is available today in a way that it was not for people
:05:35. > :05:37.like blender. The Eating Disorders Association holds classes at schools
:05:38. > :05:41.in Belfast to prevent things starting before they begin. It is a
:05:42. > :05:46.bad thing to criticise each other about your shape. These students
:05:47. > :05:50.admit there is a lot of pressure to look a certain way. We get judged on
:05:51. > :05:56.our appearance and everybody just wants to look better. Reed girls
:05:57. > :06:00.that are very pretty, we would like to be like that, thinner, or taller,
:06:01. > :06:06.or a nicer face. You think there is a lot of pressure? Everywhere we
:06:07. > :06:10.look there is a lot of pressure. Just keeping a positive attitude
:06:11. > :06:17.about yourself, it is hard whenever there is so much influence and other
:06:18. > :06:20.pressures. Anorexia and bully me are complicated conditions that need
:06:21. > :06:31.intensive treatment. -- lamia. Despite medical intervention it has
:06:32. > :06:35.become a way of life for Glenda. As soon as you wake up, you do not know
:06:36. > :06:39.what will happen. It may go well and then you may be sent off. She would
:06:40. > :06:48.encourage others to get help and not live life the way she has.
:06:49. > :06:51.Plenty to come before seven... New figures on house sales suggest a
:06:52. > :06:56.gradual economic recovery is continuing.
:06:57. > :07:00.Two soldiers in the Irish Army have been arrested after a pipe bomb was
:07:01. > :07:03.found in an apartment in the County Donegal village of Burnfoot near
:07:04. > :07:06.Londonderry. The Defence Forces confirmed that the army bomb
:07:07. > :07:12.disposal team were called to the scene in Burnfoot on Monday and
:07:13. > :07:15.dealt with a viable device. The man and a woman, who are both serving
:07:16. > :07:18.soldiers, were arrested yesterday. The incident is believed to be
:07:19. > :07:23.connected to an ongoing row between two groups of soldiers.
:07:24. > :07:27.We've heard about the lucrative trade in stolen metal, but some
:07:28. > :07:33.thieves are now risking their lives by chopping down electricity poles
:07:34. > :07:36.to get cables which contain copper. It's happened 15 times in the last
:07:37. > :07:39.six months. Northern Ireland Electricity says it has left homes
:07:40. > :07:42.without power and put both the public and the criminals at risk.
:07:43. > :07:44.Here's our north east reporter, David Maxwell.
:07:45. > :07:47.A large engineering operation swung into gear yesterday after thieves
:07:48. > :07:52.brought down these electricity poles in the early hours. They cut them
:07:53. > :07:57.with bow saws and then removed the cable they carry, which contains
:07:58. > :08:01.valuable copper. NIE say the thieves responsible for this kind of crime
:08:02. > :08:09.are playing a risky game, because they have no way of knowing if the
:08:10. > :08:13.cables are still live. It is going to be only a matter of time before
:08:14. > :08:16.there is a serious injury to either a member of the public or the
:08:17. > :08:21.thieves themselves. That could be from electrocution or something
:08:22. > :08:25.falling on them, namely a poll or conductor. The thieves seem to be
:08:26. > :08:28.targeting rural areas. This incident took place on the Antrim Road in
:08:29. > :08:30.Newtownabbey, but there's been a spate of similar thefts in
:08:31. > :08:38.Broughshane, Glenarm and some areas of mid Ulster. It can leave those
:08:39. > :08:44.living nearby vulnerable. I have to be very careful. Having MS, I would
:08:45. > :08:49.fall easily. I was on my own at that stage, my wife was out, and I had to
:08:50. > :08:54.struggle in darkness. I could have had an accident. Of course in order
:08:55. > :08:57.to make money, the thieves will have to sell the cable to scrap metal
:08:58. > :09:05.dealers. Some believe there needs to be greater controls on that
:09:06. > :09:10.industry. If we had a scrap metal dealers Bill in Northern Ireland,
:09:11. > :09:13.legally, they would be obliged to record all their purchases, who it
:09:14. > :09:18.came from, registration numbers, and by doing that, it would make it
:09:19. > :09:24.easier for the police to perhaps track down those responsible. I
:09:25. > :09:26.believe it will lessen the likelihood of the theft occurring in
:09:27. > :09:31.the first place, because that would be more difficult to sell the stolen
:09:32. > :09:34.battle. -- metal. NIE has backed calls for legislation. It says if
:09:35. > :09:38.thieves continue this reckless activity, lives could be lost.
:09:39. > :09:41.The mobile phone company EE says it will create 250 jobs in Northern
:09:42. > :09:46.Ireland as it returns customer service roles from overseas call
:09:47. > :09:49.centres. In all, the firm is planning to bring back 1,000
:09:50. > :09:53.customer service jobs to the UK. The company says it will be operating
:09:54. > :09:56.here within the next few months. However it's not yet clear where the
:09:57. > :10:04.firm will be operating from, or if the jobs will be with an existing
:10:05. > :10:07.call centre operator. The latest figures on the economy
:10:08. > :10:11.suggest that a gradual recovery is continuing. They showed another fall
:10:12. > :10:19.in the number of people claiming unemployment benefit and an annual
:10:20. > :10:22.rise in house prices. It was the biggest annual rise in six years.
:10:23. > :10:28.But as our economics and business editor John Campbell explains, it's
:10:29. > :10:32.not completely straightforward. This woman is among those driving
:10:33. > :10:36.the housing market. Of the number of years, she has bought houses in
:10:37. > :10:45.Belfast to rent out. After the property disasters of the last two
:10:46. > :10:50.years, why is she doing it now? I believe that the market can only be
:10:51. > :10:55.going up. For me, it is a long-term opportunity. I am looking at a
:10:56. > :11:01.10-year as as opposed to two or three years. More buyers are coming
:11:02. > :11:05.into the market and that is moving prices. The latest figures show that
:11:06. > :11:11.compare to the end of 2012, prices were 4% higher at the end of 2013.
:11:12. > :11:15.However, between September and December, prices were not doing
:11:16. > :11:19.much. They stayed static. But even that is not the whole story. If we
:11:20. > :11:23.break the figures down, we see prices were rising in Belfast during
:11:24. > :11:28.that he reared. This agency has recently opened a new office in the
:11:29. > :11:34.south of the city and after years of a buyer's market, they see a change.
:11:35. > :11:39.If property is well priced and is well presented there is activity,
:11:40. > :11:44.and it is common that there will be two or three people at it. It is not
:11:45. > :11:50.like it used to be. Certainly, it is becoming more common. Do not take
:11:51. > :11:54.his word for it. This business is seeing an upturn, too. It has been
:11:55. > :11:59.very positive. In the three months in the run-up to Christmas we have
:12:00. > :12:04.had a 9% increase in local moving. To put that in perspective, last
:12:05. > :12:09.week we had 26 enquiries from local moves against the same week last
:12:10. > :12:14.year, we had five enquiries. The housing market is recovering. That
:12:15. > :12:18.recovery is slow and uneven and four people stuck in negative equity,
:12:19. > :12:25.there is still a very long way to go. Prices are still more than 50%
:12:26. > :12:31.below their 2007 peak. You're watching BBC Newsline. Still
:12:32. > :12:36.to come on the programme... Next year's Irish Open is set to
:12:37. > :12:41.return to Northern Ireland, this time to Royal County Down.
:12:42. > :12:44.The Alliance Party MLA Anna Lo says people who racially abused her
:12:45. > :12:49.online are bullies and won't silence her. She was sent racist messages
:12:50. > :12:51.after she said flags and paramilitary murals should be
:12:52. > :12:56.removed from the route of an international cycling race. Three
:12:57. > :13:04.stages of the Giro d'Italia will be held here in May. Chris Page has
:13:05. > :13:09.more. It is set to be a dramatic,
:13:10. > :13:14.thrilling, spectacular event. The Giro d'Italia is regarded as the
:13:15. > :13:17.second most prestigious cycling race in the world after the Tour de
:13:18. > :13:21.France. Three stages will be held here in May, but what picture of
:13:22. > :13:27.Northern Ireland will the global TV audience get? This is one small
:13:28. > :13:30.section of the route, the Newton had to Road in East Belfast. There are a
:13:31. > :13:34.number of neurons along the route which don't focus on paramilitary
:13:35. > :13:37.violence. They are about reconciliation and some parts of
:13:38. > :13:44.Belfast's history which might help to attract tourists. But others tell
:13:45. > :13:47.a different story. The glorification of gunmen. The Alliance party has
:13:48. > :13:53.argued that murals like this one, and flags, should be removed from
:13:54. > :13:56.the route. And consequently, this MLA has become the target of racist
:13:57. > :14:01.abuse on social media sites. She says it will not stop speaking out.
:14:02. > :14:08.They are not going to silence me, absolutely not. I have received
:14:09. > :14:14.threats on many occasions, and they are police. -- Belize. They do not
:14:15. > :14:19.want anyone to say anything sensible against them. It is important that
:14:20. > :14:23.we start a debate about how we deal with those murals. All parties have
:14:24. > :14:28.condemned the online racist attacks. The DUP say they should
:14:29. > :14:34.stop. It is wrong. It should not be tolerated. Those who engage in it
:14:35. > :14:38.should not be engaging in it. The party says it wants all paramilitary
:14:39. > :14:42.murals removed, but it has criticised the Alliance Party for
:14:43. > :14:48.bringing up the issue of flags and bureaus in those contacts. Have you
:14:49. > :14:53.ever seen the graffiti in Italian cities? We sometimes think that
:14:54. > :15:01.everybody else lives in towns and villages and cities that looked like
:15:02. > :15:03.something out of Stepford Wives. All cities have their culture, their
:15:04. > :15:10.murals, there are graffiti, everybody else is no different.
:15:11. > :15:15.Flags admirals are some of the most complex matters in all, cute
:15:16. > :15:18.politics. The debate is start to -- set to continue in the run-up to the
:15:19. > :15:22.Giro d'Italia and in the meantime, the police are investigating the
:15:23. > :15:25.racist abuse towards Anna Lo. Assembly members are facing cuts to
:15:26. > :15:28.their pensions which could save the public purse millions. Under the
:15:29. > :15:31.proposals, MLAs will have to contribute more of their salary
:15:32. > :15:33.towards their pensions which will not be as generous in future. Our
:15:34. > :15:41.political correspondent Martina Purdy has the details.
:15:42. > :15:46.What is being recommended? Independent financial advisers have
:15:47. > :15:53.decided taxpayers are paying too much for politicians' pensions. They
:15:54. > :15:57.want it to come down to 24% and they are estimating it could save up to
:15:58. > :16:01.?10 million off the bill by 2020. They want MLAs to put in more
:16:02. > :16:07.money. They want to move on a final salary scheme to make it career
:16:08. > :16:12.average. That has hampered with public sector workers and the panel
:16:13. > :16:17.says the MLAs cannot escape reality. It is the general trend in
:16:18. > :16:23.public service. They have voted this for all public servants in Northern
:16:24. > :16:29.Ireland. The government has done this already in relation to other
:16:30. > :16:33.legislature, particularly MPs. It is natural and normal that we should
:16:34. > :16:38.look at this as a form of saving to the public purse. What has been the
:16:39. > :16:43.response? I have not heard much from the MLAs so far. Most parties did
:16:44. > :16:47.not come back to me. I think MLAs will grin and bare it. One trade
:16:48. > :16:55.unionists seem to be relishing the prospect of MLAs sharing the pain.
:16:56. > :16:58.Public servants will watch this with great interest. It was only a couple
:16:59. > :17:05.of weeks ago that the Assembly shredded public worker's pensions.
:17:06. > :17:12.At the end of the day, I suppose it is a question of equalisation of
:17:13. > :17:15.misery all round. The panel was keen that the public had their say and
:17:16. > :17:18.you can have your say by logging onto the independent financial
:17:19. > :17:24.review panel's website. The consultation runs until 5pm on 8th
:17:25. > :17:30.April. There were terse exchanges at the
:17:31. > :17:37.OFM DFM committee this afternoon. Mike Nesbitt read out a list of
:17:38. > :17:40.complaints about ministers and officials either cancelling meetings
:17:41. > :17:44.or failing to produce relevant papers. He was criticised by the DUP
:17:45. > :17:50.MLA, Jimmy Spratt. I have one issue. You can take this
:17:51. > :17:55.as a criticism if you like, I do not care what way you take it. At the
:17:56. > :18:00.start of the meeting, in relation to the discussion with the head of the
:18:01. > :18:11.civil service, you read out a long list of four pages, I think it is,
:18:12. > :18:15.and we have these papers and we are capable of reading. We do not need
:18:16. > :18:22.the headmaster to read them out to us. I read out two pages. As far as
:18:23. > :18:26.I'm concerned you read out most of them. It is not done in other
:18:27. > :18:31.committees. You were obviously on your soapbox. I was reading it into
:18:32. > :18:38.the record for the avoidance of doubt. On your soapbox. I make no
:18:39. > :18:44.apology for so doing. We are not children round the table.
:18:45. > :18:48.Ice cream sales or opera singer? Well, music fans across the world
:18:49. > :18:52.are grateful that Bruno Caproni from Bangor chose opera! He has taken a
:18:53. > :18:55.break from La Scala in Milan and the Metropolitan Opera in New York to
:18:56. > :18:59.appear at the Grand Opera House in Belfast. It being Macbeth, some of
:19:00. > :19:02.the make-up in the production isn't for the faint-hearted. Our arts
:19:03. > :19:07.correspondent, Maggie Taggart went to see Bruno prepare and perform.
:19:08. > :19:09.Bruno Caproni left Bangor in 1983 to study singing and he's now a
:19:10. > :19:15.respected baritone who specialises in Italian opera. The central role
:19:16. > :19:22.in Verdi's Macbeth suits him down to the ground.
:19:23. > :19:27.His Italian family ran ice cream shops and Caproni's Dance Hall, so
:19:28. > :19:37.he could have chosen a career in business. Instead his mother taught
:19:38. > :19:42.him to love music. She put me on her knee and put on our brow, and she
:19:43. > :19:51.would then translate and tell me what was happening and explain
:19:52. > :19:55.things. -- put me on her neat and put up a wrap. Following in Bruno's
:19:56. > :19:58.footsteps is this young man who we spotted being transformed for a gory
:19:59. > :20:04.role in Macbeth. He's hoping to start a career as distinguished as
:20:05. > :20:08.Bruno's. To have a company at home is a relatively new thing for us
:20:09. > :20:13.all. It goes to show that there are Northern Irish opera singers who
:20:14. > :20:19.want to work at home. It is nice to sing to a home crowd. This is one of
:20:20. > :20:23.the final rehearsals before the first performance. They use this
:20:24. > :20:26.time forgiving comments to the singers and also for tweaking the
:20:27. > :20:32.sound and the lighting. Most of the main characters are in costume, but
:20:33. > :20:35.the chorus is not as yet. There's a cast of 40, plus the orchestra. It's
:20:36. > :20:44.an impressive experience for boys who normally sing hymns in St
:20:45. > :20:47.Peter's Cathedral. I do not know what my future is going to be like
:20:48. > :20:51.but I hope it will be something to do with MUSIC.
:20:52. > :20:54.Is production or singing or something like that. This has
:20:55. > :21:01.encouraged me to take a career in music because it has been such good
:21:02. > :21:11.fun. All this effort for three performances in the Grand Opera
:21:12. > :21:15.House. Some of you may have spotted Noel
:21:16. > :21:20.Thompson in the chorus. You can see an extended version of the interview
:21:21. > :21:23.on the Facebook page. The Irish Open golf tournament is
:21:24. > :21:34.set to return to Northern Ireland in 2015. Thomas Niblock is here. Big
:21:35. > :21:39.news, Thomas? This is yet to be confirmed, we must
:21:40. > :21:44.stress, but the event will be staged at Royal County Down next year. It
:21:45. > :21:53.is fantastic news. And two of the world's best have welcomed it?
:21:54. > :21:56.Yes, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell have played the world
:21:57. > :21:58.famous course many times before. They're currently contesting the
:21:59. > :22:01.World Matchplay Championship. Stephen Watson has this exclusive
:22:02. > :22:04.report from the United States. When the Irish open was played at
:22:05. > :22:08.Royal Portrush in 2012, it was the first time the event had been staged
:22:09. > :22:12.in Northern Ireland in almost 60 years. The tournament broke
:22:13. > :22:17.attendance records, becoming the first ever sold out event in the
:22:18. > :22:20.history of the European tour. That outstanding success prompted
:22:21. > :22:23.organisers to strike a deal to bring the Irish Open back north, and it is
:22:24. > :22:29.my understanding agreement has been reached for Royal County Down to be
:22:30. > :22:33.the host club in 2015. Two of Northern Ireland's major winners,
:22:34. > :22:38.who were preparing for the World Matchplay Championship, are thrilled
:22:39. > :22:43.the Irish Open is set to come to Newcastle. It was a huge success at
:22:44. > :22:47.Portrush a couple of years ago and going to County Down can only be
:22:48. > :22:53.great for the Irish Open and for golf in Ireland in general. And
:22:54. > :22:56.Northern Ireland, obviously. It's a great golf course. Royal County Down
:22:57. > :23:01.is one of my favourites in Ireland. There is always the internal debate,
:23:02. > :23:04.which is the best? They are very different. County Down is an
:23:05. > :23:09.acquired taste. You have got to play it a few times to find your way
:23:10. > :23:13.around the blind tee shots. The more you play at the more you recognise
:23:14. > :23:17.it for the class place it is. Royal County Down is one of the world's
:23:18. > :23:23.top courses and has experience of hosting big events. The British
:23:24. > :23:33.Senior Open, Mike Opened The Likes Of Jack Nicklaus And Gary Player.
:23:34. > :23:38.Rory McIlroy was one of the amateur stars who played in the Walker cup.
:23:39. > :23:42.It is the first time in 75 years that the Irish Open will be played
:23:43. > :23:50.at the County Down venue. It is a good idea to alternate its each
:23:51. > :23:53.year, in a public one year and North the next. It spreads it around and
:23:54. > :23:58.gives people in Northern Ireland chance to see some of the best
:23:59. > :24:01.players in the world. Irish Olsen is strong both sides of the border and
:24:02. > :24:10.it is important that the fans get to see their favourite players north
:24:11. > :24:14.and south. -- Irish golf is strong. Portrush in County Down is very
:24:15. > :24:21.special. -- Portrush and County Down. The Stormont Executive founded
:24:22. > :24:24.over ?1 million investment for Portrush. Similar investment will be
:24:25. > :24:31.required again for a Newcastle return next year.
:24:32. > :24:36.We featured her preparations and training in the Winter Olympics in
:24:37. > :24:40.Sochi last night. Tonight, Jenna McCorkell faces a very anxious wait.
:24:41. > :24:46.She has skated a clean programme today in the women's individual
:24:47. > :24:49.competition. She is currently in 19th place with six competitors
:24:50. > :24:52.still to go. She needs to finish in the top 24 to qualify for the final
:24:53. > :24:54.day of competition, which is tomorrow.
:24:55. > :25:03.We wish her well. Now, to our very own ice queen! Have
:25:04. > :25:14.we got good weather coming? No ice tonight. We have got some wet
:25:15. > :25:18.stuff. It has started raining in many places. Hard to believe earlier
:25:19. > :25:22.today we had blue sky and sunshine, particularly towards the north
:25:23. > :25:26.coast. I have the picture to prove it. It is out in the Atlantic where
:25:27. > :25:31.the Clyde has been thickening and moving in. The swirl you see in the
:25:32. > :25:37.corner of your screen, that is the centre of the low pressure. The rain
:25:38. > :25:40.has been moving in in the last couple of hours. Most of it is light
:25:41. > :25:46.at the moment, but it will get heavier with time, particularly
:25:47. > :25:50.across the West. The heavy rain warning will come into effect later

:25:59. > :26:02.there could be up to 30 millimetres. -- and across Fermanagh. We are not
:26:03. > :26:06.expecting big rainfall totals in the south-west. It will be windy at
:26:07. > :26:10.times tonight, particularly towards the east coast. The rain is still
:26:11. > :26:14.their first thing tomorrow morning, especially across the West, where
:26:15. > :26:16.there will be a lot of surface water and may be localised flooding
:26:17. > :26:22.through Fermanagh, Tyrone and the North Coast. As we come further
:26:23. > :26:26.south, these temperatures are at eight o'clock, so do not worry about
:26:27. > :26:30.scraping the car windscreen, but it will be damp and wet on the roads.
:26:31. > :26:34.During the second half of the morning the rain moves away. Showers
:26:35. > :26:39.in behind, but it will brighten up with honey gaps in between. Cold
:26:40. > :26:42.tomorrow afternoon compared to recent days and the showers will
:26:43. > :26:46.turn increasingly wintry with sleet and snow on the hills. They called a
:26:47. > :26:52.field tomorrow. That will continue tomorrow night. -- a cooler field

:27:07. > :27:10.coming through us tonight. There is another area of low pressure coming
:27:11. > :27:14.from the US. That comes across the Atlantic and for this coming
:27:15. > :27:18.weekend, there will be more wet and windy weather coming our way. Both
:27:19. > :27:20.Saturday and Sunday will bring some rain. Hopefully it will not be
:27:21. > :27:26.raining all the time the September to creep up a little.
