happened on Wednesday was a tragic scene of events. Traffic was backed

up due to roadworks but traffic in the near side lane was moving

:00:54.:00:57.

freely. The children crossed from the far side of the street. They

There had been prayers here since the accident that they'd both pull

The family of Corporal Channing Day, the 25-year-old Comber medic who was

:01:56.:01:58.

killed in Afghanistan, attended a special service in Comber this

:01:59.:02:01.

morning. A new memorial in the town's square was unveiled to

commemorate all those who had lost their lives in the armed forces

:02:05.:02:07.

since the Second World War. Channing's name was included on the

:02:08.:02:10.

monument, which was commissioned by Ards Borough Council. I don't Inc

:02:11.:02:19.

Channing will ever be forgotten in and around, . The number of people

:02:20.:02:27.

we have met that knew him when she was in the cadets and so on and just

:02:28.:02:32.

the tributes that were paid for her day and daily. A Russian sailor has

:02:33.:02:38.

appeared in court in Belfast, accused of being drunk in charge of

:02:39.:02:41.

a ship. Mikhail Irusglotov, who's 53, confirmed that he spoke some

:02:42.:02:44.

English. It's understood that the captain of the ship, which has a

:02:45.:02:47.

cargo of coal, alerted the harbour master that he believed his chief

:02:48.:02:51.

engineer was drunk. When he was breathalysed, it's alleged the

:02:52.:02:54.

sailor was more than three times the legal drink-drive limit. A police

:02:55.:02:57.

officer said they wouldn't be opposing bail because the vessel

:02:58.:03:00.

will be in Belfast harbour "for a period of time".

:03:01.:03:03.

Football now, and with just five more fixtures to go in the Danske

:03:04.:03:06.

Bank Premiership, Linfield hold a narrow two points' lead over

:03:07.:03:08.

champions Cliftonville. This afternoon, the top two meet at

:03:09.:03:11.

Windsor Park, in an encounter which will have a major bearing on the

:03:12.:03:19.

destination of the Gibson Cup. It could, if Linfield win they will

:03:20.:03:27.

go five clear with four games to go, but if we go over there and win, we

:03:28.:03:32.

will be at point clear, the situation is still retrievable, so

:03:33.:03:39.

it would only have a bearing on it. It will go down to the wire but it

:03:40.:03:45.

makes good viewing and for those who lump asked the Irish League, I'll

:03:46.:03:51.

tell you what, not bad for a leak from Northern Ireland. Now, there's

:03:52.:03:55.

just a week to go before Ulster's Heineken Cup quarterfinal against

:03:56.:03:57.

English side Saracens. But first, there's a Pro12 match today, away to

:03:58.:04:01.

Cardiff Blues, with coverage live on BBC Two from 6:20pm this evening.

:04:02.:04:05.

The match in Wales will offer a very different challenge to next week's

:04:06.:04:11.

big match. They are quite different teams. Saracens are a lot more pack

:04:12.:04:22.

orientated, whereas Cardiff today wider, so it will be a different

:04:23.:04:28.

style of game then we will face against Saracens. It is tough

:04:29.:04:35.

getting prepared for the Saracens game because they are such good

:04:36.:04:39.

teams. Now it's a miserable day outside, so what's the outlook for

:04:40.:04:46.

the rest of the day? Here's Cecilia. It is an little milder than

:04:47.:04:49.

yesterday and temperatures to borrow could hit the mid-teens. Still

:04:50.:04:57.

showers around today and tomorrow and that breeze will be especially

:04:58.:05:02.

no visible along the East Coast. We have rain and cloud in the Irish Sea

:05:03.:05:06.

which has been hanging over eastern counties today and will slide West,

:05:07.:05:11.

but it will be a slow process do the rest of the afternoon. The damp

:05:12.:05:14.

weather becomes confined to the West, drying up in the East,

:05:15.:05:19.

temperatures better than yesterday but it will feel jelly at times

:05:20.:05:24.

towards the east coast with a gusty easterly wind. You can see where all

:05:25.:05:30.

the fine warm and sunny weather is. Some sunshine for the North West of

:05:31.:05:34.

Scotland but downside, if anything it is slightly wetter than it is

:05:35.:05:39.

across us. That rain continues to move away West. A lot of places will

:05:40.:05:45.

be dry to begin with tonight, and of course the clocks spring board and

:05:46.:05:50.

are, and are less in bed so don't forget to reset your clocks. The

:05:51.:05:54.

rest of the night will be cloudy and damp so by morning it will be

:05:55.:05:58.

raining in places but it will stay relatively mild. Tomorrow slightly

:05:59.:06:02.

better than today. There will be some rain around and still a

:06:03.:06:07.

noticeable breed buzzed not as easy as today, and you will find many

:06:08.:06:12.

places will become drier tomorrow afternoon. 15 degrees is possible in

:06:13.:06:18.

the north-west so with a little sunshine it will be the better day

:06:19.:06:23.

this weekend. In the new week am a overall it is quite unsettled with
