:00:26. > :00:28.attacks on two houses in the Waterside area of Londonderry early

:00:29. > :00:31.this morning as hate crimes. One device exploded outside a house in

:00:32. > :00:35.Lapwing Way, another at Lincoln Court, where damage was caused to

:00:36. > :00:38.the front door. Both houses were occupied at the time, but no-one was

:00:39. > :00:46.injured. Detectives say they believe the two incidents are linked. It is

:00:47. > :00:52.a worrying factor for those living in the areas. People are concerned

:00:53. > :00:56.that this is the beginning of something between the two areas. I

:00:57. > :01:01.do not think that is the case but we're not 100% sure. Police are

:01:02. > :01:11.following different lines of inquiry is to see if they can ascertain what

:01:12. > :01:14.the situation is about. The former head of the Catholic

:01:15. > :01:17.Church's child protection body is considering taking legal action

:01:18. > :01:20.against the Bishop of Down and Connor, Noel Treanor. Ian Elliott is

:01:21. > :01:23.said to be unhappy at the publication last December of a major

:01:24. > :01:26.review into safeguarding practice in the diocese, saying the report did

:01:27. > :01:30.not accurately reflect the child protection situation in Down and

:01:31. > :01:32.Connor. Mr Elliott left his role as chief Executive of the National

:01:33. > :01:36.Board for Safeguarding Children last July. In a statement last night,

:01:37. > :01:39.Bishop Treanor said the diocese was fully open and transparent and the

:01:40. > :01:41.report was undertaken and prepared by the National Board team,

:01:43. > :01:45.The Transport Minister, Danny Kennedy, says Northern Ireland will

:01:49. > :01:54.from a three-day fact-finding visit to Denmark and Sweden. Andy West

:01:55. > :01:57.reports. Danny Kennedy says Belfast needs to

:01:58. > :02:02.see more of this to help lower congestion and improve the health of

:02:03. > :02:05.the people. During his tour he witnessed the continental love

:02:06. > :02:11.affair with and respect for the bicycle. I have been inspired by the

:02:12. > :02:19.examples I have seen and Copenhagen and Malmo in Sudan. I think the

:02:20. > :02:24.creation of safe cycling will encourage people to use cycling as a

:02:25. > :02:31.way of life. -- Sweden. At the moment, there are a number of danger

:02:32. > :02:36.spots around the city of Belfast. The danger spots like this beside

:02:37. > :02:41.the Albert Bridge. A cycle lane next then with the bustling and during

:02:42. > :02:45.rush hour there is dense traffic. Good better provision make things

:02:46. > :02:51.better here for cyclists or is there a risk that it could make congestion

:02:52. > :02:57.worse? I think we can take steps to improve using the roads by both

:02:58. > :03:03.cyclists and motorists and to make cycling safer and so that there is

:03:04. > :03:09.no threat to cyclists or motorists. They are some safe and popular

:03:10. > :03:14.cycling routes already in the city. These rates are very good. You can

:03:15. > :03:18.go from this barn went to the Titanic Quarter and beyond. It is

:03:19. > :03:26.smooth and safe especially for a young child. It is really good and

:03:27. > :03:30.smooth. He could well be driving by the time the cycling revolution

:03:31. > :03:33.takes effect. The Department for regional development says it will

:03:34. > :03:37.take years not months to make the Hall of Belfast Trulli cycle

:03:38. > :03:41.friendly. Rugby, and as you may have seen,

:03:42. > :03:44.Ireland had a comprehensive 46-7 win over Italy. We'll have a full match

:03:45. > :03:46.report on tomorrow's programme. Now with the weather for the rest of

:03:47. > :03:59.the weekend, here's Angie Phillips. Good afternoon, technically it has

:04:00. > :04:03.been quite mild this afternoon but that has been offset by the strong

:04:04. > :04:07.southerly wind. The cloud will thicken up this evening and we have

:04:08. > :04:10.a weather front approaching which will bring persistent spells of rain

:04:11. > :04:16.into the Western counties. The rain will edge eastwards tonight and it

:04:17. > :04:21.will break up and become more patchy but nevertheless it will be a gap

:04:22. > :04:26.and wet night for many of us. Three of frost and noble or than five or

:04:27. > :04:32.six degrees. Not a lot of change tomorrow, we will hold onto those

:04:33. > :04:37.cloudy skies and spells of rain. Most of that rain will be patchy and

:04:38. > :04:40.the like. It is a pretty overcast and damp day across the Republic of

:04:41. > :04:46.Ireland as well as central and Southern Scotland and the North of

:04:47. > :04:50.England. For Wales and the centre of England it is a fine day.

:04:51. > :04:56.Temperatures in the 70s getting up to 17 or 18 degrees. For Northern

:04:57. > :05:02.Ireland, not quite as mild as it has been with temperatures close to

:05:03. > :05:05.average at around eight degrees. Some heavy spells of rain for

:05:06. > :05:10.Northern Ireland and the public a violent for the evening. Once that

:05:11. > :05:14.batch of rain moves out of the way, things are looking up for the

:05:15. > :05:18.beginning of the new geek with high-pressure moving over us and

:05:19. > :05:21.bringing settled conditions. Fine days with sunny spells but the

:05:22. > :05:23.Knights could be chubby with frost and fog.

:05:24. > :05:25.That's it for now. BBC Newsline will be back tomorrow evening at 6:20pm.

:05:26. > :05:33.Good evening.
