:01:08.:01:11.

of the car which brought in that clip to be. Becoming an ambassador

:01:12.:01:17.

for Belfast is remarkable. Who would've thought 50 years ago that

:01:18.:01:20.

would have happened? I am genuinely flattered. Thank you. I thought you

:01:21.:01:28.

were going to do the Italian job down the steps.

:01:29.:01:41.

My dog and I idea because my husband belonged to East Coast minis. They

:01:42.:01:49.

are up there at the top of Stormont. It is very noisy. The dog does not

:01:50.:01:55.

like it. He likes the microphone. Yes, he would have a chew of that,

:01:56.:02:02.

given half a chance. Off to the City Hall, where Paddy Hop curve will be

made in numbers had -- an ambassador for Belfast.

:02:38.:02:42.

Niblock reports from Twickenham. The full sunshine were welcome Irish

:02:43.:02:47.

supporters to Twickenham this afternoon. Relatively quiet life --

:02:48.:02:54.

right now. But that will change over the next couple of hours. Ireland

:02:55.:02:57.

hoping to maintain their perfect start to this Championship. Ireland

:02:58.:03:11.

are concentrating on England today. There is no stepping stone about it.

:03:12.:03:15.

There is a trophy on the line, it is very difficult to win triple crowns

:03:16.:03:20.

these days. The teams are so good. Those games away from home are very

:03:21.:03:24.

difficult to win. It has been a while since this team has won some

:03:25.:03:29.

silverware. We have not audibly fulfilled our potential over the

:03:30.:03:33.

last few years. We have put a couple of good games together. If we were

:03:34.:03:38.

to win, it would be a good step in the right direction for this team.

:03:39.:03:42.

:04:05.:04:07.

the pick of Ireland's bowlers, taking four wickets for just 11 runs

:04:08.:04:10.

- restricting the West Indies to 96 for nine. But Ireland also struggled

:04:11.:04:14.

with the bat. The top scorer was Gary Wilson who was caught and

:04:15.:04:17.

bowled for 35. But Ireland could only reach 85 runs.

:04:18.:04:21.

Football and last night's big clash between Linfield and Glentoran ended

:04:22.:04:24.

in a 1-0 victory for the Blues at the Oval. Sean Ward was brought down

:04:25.:04:28.

:04:40.:04:42.

Glenavon finished 2-2 and Ballinamallard were 1-0 winners over

:04:43.:04:44.

Ards. I'm afraid that the best part of the

:04:45.:05:00.

day has gone. The weather system in the Atlantic, look at all that

:05:01.:05:03.

cloud. It has been racing in from the West. We now have some rain

:05:09.:05:11.

Lots of cloud around. Not as cold as yesterday. The rain will get heavier

:05:12.:05:17.

as we head to the evening. This weather system is not going anywhere

:05:18.:05:21.

fast. A lot of rain going into Scotland. And also heavy rain down

:05:22.:05:28.

the western side of Ireland. But temperatures, a pleasant 12 degrees

:05:29.:05:33.

towards London. It is cloudy, wet and increasingly windy by the end of

:05:34.:05:37.

today. Heavy rain warnings in force for some areas. This is what we

:05:38.:05:46.

expect from the rain. 40 millimetres could fall tonight, leading to some

:05:47.:05:52.

flooding. And also some very gusty winds up times. Especially towards

:05:53.:05:58.

the East Coast. The worst of the wind and rain will move to the East

:05:59.:06:03.

by morning. And improving picture by the afternoon. Quite mild for the

:06:04.:06:09.

time of year. Temperatures in double figures. Tomorrow will be colder.

:06:10.:06:16.

And then on Monday, not a bad day at all. Some sunshine, mostly dry. But
