:00:00. > :00:00.the evening on the BBC News Channel. And I'll be back with
:00:00. > :00:12.Good evening. Martin McGuinness has said his decision to take part in
:00:13. > :00:15.the UK State visit of the Irish President was bold but important.
:00:16. > :00:18.The deputy first minister will attend a series of events, including
:00:19. > :00:31.a banquet hosted by the Queen on Tuesday. Helen Jones reports. He
:00:32. > :00:38.shook hands with the Queen both in private and in public two years ago
:00:39. > :00:50.during her visit to Belfast. He has confirmed he will attend events this
:00:51. > :00:56.weekend including a state banquet. We are stepping forward, it is bold
:00:57. > :01:02.but it is very important. From our perspective we could find all sorts
:01:03. > :01:08.of reasons why we should decline an invitation from Queen Elizabeth to
:01:09. > :01:13.her house and no doubt she has many number of reasons why she should not
:01:14. > :01:17.invite us to her house but we have agreed this is an important thing to
:01:18. > :01:25.do. Earlier the Prime Minister said he believed this weekend's tour
:01:26. > :01:32.could pave the way for royal input into the Easter rising celebrations
:01:33. > :01:38.in two years time. The centenary commemoration ceremonies in 2016
:01:39. > :01:41.will be another event in the continuing closeness and closer
:01:42. > :01:46.relationships between both our countries.
:01:47. > :01:52.relationships between both our President Higgins will also address
:01:53. > :01:55.both houses of parliament. And tomorrow evening on BBC Newsline,
:01:56. > :01:58.ahead of the State visit. Our reporter Andy West has a special
:01:59. > :02:01.report on the history of Irish emigration to England and he
:02:02. > :02:14.examines the role the Irish community now plays in the life of
:02:15. > :02:22.its neighbour. When we look for flats there was no Irish, no
:02:23. > :02:26.Blacks, no dogs. I am intelligent. Later we found there was that
:02:27. > :02:31.stereotyped imagery of Ulster being drunk and all the rest of it. A man
:02:32. > :02:35.in his 30s has escaped injury after a shot was fired through the window
:02:36. > :02:37.of a house at Elver Avenue in Toome. The police are appealing for
:02:38. > :02:39.information. A councillor says The police are appealing for
:02:40. > :02:43.the people of Portadown are rallying round the families of two anglers
:02:44. > :02:46.who lost their lives on Lough Ree. A body recovered yesterday has been
:02:47. > :02:56.identified as Darryl Burke, who went missing a fortnight ago. Barra Best
:02:57. > :03:01.reports. The memorial to two friends, or fathers to young
:03:02. > :03:08.children. It is a reminder of the impact their deaths have had of the
:03:09. > :03:13.community. This man with three sons was expecting his first daughter
:03:14. > :03:18.next month. Searches have been going on since the 27 Europe went missing
:03:19. > :03:25.while out fishing with two friends last month. They were members of the
:03:26. > :03:29.Portadown pikers angling club. Their boat sank. One man was rescued but
:03:30. > :03:36.died in hospital. A third man is boat sank. One man was rescued but
:03:37. > :03:42.recovering. There must be an unimaginable pain to sit at the
:03:43. > :03:50.sides of the Loch for three weeks trying to recover the body of your
:03:51. > :03:58.loved one. There is a huge effort now. There are five children who
:03:59. > :04:04.will be left hind having lost to fathers. Plans will now be made for
:04:05. > :04:07.the funeral. Doctor Donal McKeown has been installed as the new
:04:08. > :04:11.Catholic Bishop of Derry. He was ordained at a ceremony in St
:04:12. > :04:14.Eugene's Cathedral which was led by Cardinal Sean Brady. In his homily
:04:15. > :04:17.Bishop McKeown said the chuches should speak on behalf of the many
:04:18. > :04:20.who feel that human needs are being neglected in the service of
:04:21. > :04:22.political priorities. Well, it was heartbreak last night for Ulster
:04:23. > :04:26.rugby fans and, as Gavin Andrews reports, their Heineken Cup quarter
:04:27. > :04:41.final hinged on a controversial refereeing decision. A split second
:04:42. > :04:46.that spun Ulster's European season. When there was this collision
:04:47. > :04:54.Ravenhill held its breath. What followed stand the stadium. The red
:04:55. > :05:01.card. His eyes were on the ball, how is that the red card? It is the
:05:02. > :05:06.motion of the injury. It definitely wasn't intentional but it was
:05:07. > :05:13.reckless. It is the big call to make five minutes into the match, it
:05:14. > :05:15.changes the match. Saracens went on to score three tries. There was
:05:16. > :05:23.nothing flashy to score three tries. There was
:05:24. > :05:34.side's comeback. The battle yawned 80 minutes but fell just short. The
:05:35. > :05:39.story of this night was pain. At the end, you could see it in their eyes.
:05:40. > :05:42.There was disappointment too for Tyrone gaelic footballers in the
:05:43. > :05:45.National League. They lost to Dublin by a single point this afternoon.
:05:46. > :05:49.The winning score came in injury-time - Dublin winning by 3-10
:05:50. > :05:52.to 1-15. Derry are through to the semi-finals despite losing to Mayo
:05:53. > :06:01.in Castlebar. And now with the weather here's Geoff Maskell. Good
:06:02. > :06:07.evening. It has been a lovely end to the day. 17 degrees was our top
:06:08. > :06:12.temperature as we went through this afternoon.
:06:13. > :06:19.temperature as we went through this rain will start to move in during
:06:20. > :06:24.the early hours of tomorrow morning. This is the picture overnight
:06:25. > :06:29.tonight. Clear skies to begin with. A good few degrees colder tonight
:06:30. > :06:38.than last night. As we got into tomorrow morning we will see rain
:06:39. > :06:42.moving in. A different feel to the weather tomorrow. It starts with
:06:43. > :06:47.this low pressure system working its way into the North Sea. Then some
:06:48. > :06:53.brighter spells before showers move them later. That weather front has
:06:54. > :07:01.an impact. Here we can see where they will pressure system winds up.
:07:02. > :07:05.There will be some wet and warm year coming in around it. Into the
:07:06. > :07:14.afternoon there is a show at the picture, some of those showers heavy
:07:15. > :07:17.with rain and thunder in the mix. Showers will continue as we go
:07:18. > :07:23.through the night, another chilly night with temperatures around three
:07:24. > :07:26.Celcius the wall. Into Tuesday it should get a bit brighter if not
:07:27. > :07:31.warmer.
