:00:10. > :00:16.Good evening. A pub in the centre of Lurgan has

:00:17. > :00:21.been destroyed in an early morning fire. The blaze at The Manhattan bar

:00:22. > :00:25.in Church Place has now been put out by fire crews. Police are

:00:26. > :00:31.investigating how it started. Claire Savage reports.

:00:32. > :00:38.Smoke was seen coming from the bar called the Manhattan in church based

:00:39. > :00:42.at 5:20am. Fire crews arrived and found the building alight. The fire

:00:43. > :00:50.was so intense, the floors inside collapsed. There is still a stench

:00:51. > :00:53.of smoke in the air. The building was so badly damaged, the roads

:00:54. > :00:58.around it will have to be closed off until tomorrow. Fire crews cannot

:00:59. > :01:05.complete their surge of the property until it was safe. We took

:01:06. > :01:14.appropriate action to try and search for people inside the building. The

:01:15. > :01:17.fire crew we committed were forced back due to the intensity of the

:01:18. > :01:21.fire and the heat inside the building. The manager has told the

:01:22. > :01:27.Fire Service he was the last person in the building. We are assured as

:01:28. > :01:31.much as we can be that the premises are clear. The police are

:01:32. > :01:36.investigating the cause of the fire and want anyone with any information

:01:37. > :01:43.to contact them. More than 30 cars have been

:01:44. > :01:46.vandalised in north Belfast. It happened on a stretch of the

:01:47. > :01:49.Ballygomartin Road. Wing mirrors were broken from the cars. The

:01:50. > :01:52.police say they possibly had been kicked off. Some number plates were

:01:53. > :01:56.also ripped from vehicles. It's thought that it happened in the

:01:57. > :01:59.early hours of this morning. A 22-year-old man has been arrested.

:02:00. > :02:02.The Tourism Minister, Arlene Foster, has said she hopes direct flights

:02:03. > :02:05.between Belfast and Canada will resume in the near future. Speaking

:02:06. > :02:08.on the Sunday Politics programme, she said her department had been

:02:09. > :02:11.working on building up an events strategy but that more direct

:02:12. > :02:20.flights into Northern Ireland were needed.

:02:21. > :02:26.We have the circuit of Ireland rally happening next weekend, we have the

:02:27. > :02:28.North West 200 happening. We have been concentrating on bringing

:02:29. > :02:36.large-scale events to Northern Ireland. Delighted the Irish open is

:02:37. > :02:39.coming back next year with Royal County Down in 2015. We have been

:02:40. > :02:45.spending a lot of time holding up our event strategy over this time.

:02:46. > :02:52.But we need direct flights. That is why I spend a lot of time talking to

:02:53. > :02:57.the tourism sector and indeed, I will again be pushing the number one

:02:58. > :03:02.priority in that respect, and that is Canada. We believe there should

:03:03. > :03:08.be a Canadian link again and there hasn't been for some time. Rory

:03:09. > :03:11.McIlroy and Darren Clarke have teed off on the final day of golf's US

:03:12. > :03:14.Masters. Both are out of contention after finishing yesterday's third

:03:15. > :03:17.round well behind the leaders, Americans Bubba Watson and Jordan

:03:18. > :03:21.Speeth. A huge gallery followed McIlroy as he posted a one-under par

:03:22. > :03:24.round to equal his best of the week. The 24-year-old may be too far back

:03:25. > :03:29.to challenge, but is targeting as high a finish as possible at

:03:30. > :03:33.Augusta. If I can shoot something in the

:03:34. > :03:39.mid-60s and finish the tournament in red figures. I think a good goal for

:03:40. > :03:45.me is to have my best finish at the Masters, my best is 15th. If I can

:03:46. > :03:52.push a good score tomorrow, get myself into the top 15 or top ten.

:03:53. > :03:57.It would not be the week I wanted, but given how the last few days have

:03:58. > :04:10.unfolded, it would be a good way to finish. Michael Roy is one over par.

:04:11. > :04:13.Gaelic games now and Derry are through to the Division One final of

:04:14. > :04:16.the National Football League. They defeated Mayo by two points at Croke

:04:17. > :04:18.Park this afternoon. Eunan McConville reports.

:04:19. > :04:23.Now the weather. They made their return to the division this year.

:04:24. > :04:28.They have beaten the likes of Dublin in qualifying for this final. It was

:04:29. > :04:35.a hard fought victory today. There was never too much between them.

:04:36. > :04:43.This power and determination set up at Derry's first goal in the 15th

:04:44. > :04:46.minute. Then the equaliser ten minutes later turned out to be a

:04:47. > :04:53.double blow for Derry. Fergal Doherty picking up a red card for

:04:54. > :05:05.this challenge. He handed out the red card after the equaliser. The

:05:06. > :05:12.teams were level at half-time. Derry got a second goal. This effort

:05:13. > :05:18.finished by Kevin Johnson. Derry will play at Dublin in the final.

:05:19. > :05:33.Now the weather. Good evening. We have all had some

:05:34. > :05:39.lovely spring sunshine. In Port Stewart, before the cloud arrived,

:05:40. > :05:45.it was lovely and sunny. But you cannot see the wind. It was cool and

:05:46. > :05:48.it will be blustery for a time deceiving, especially around the

:05:49. > :05:53.coast. Tonight, the wind will ease and MacLeod will break up overnight

:05:54. > :06:00.so it will be clear and chilly as a result. The first couple of nights

:06:01. > :06:02.this week, will be called with frost around. Monday and Tuesday will be

:06:03. > :06:07.dry and bright with pleasant sunshine. The second half of the

:06:08. > :06:13.week will bring more cloud and a little bit of rain, but over all

:06:14. > :06:18.this week is looking dry. A dry start tomorrow, sunshine around as

:06:19. > :06:23.well. Cool first thing. It will feel pleasant and not as windy. The

:06:24. > :06:27.strong winds tomorrow are mainly across the North East of Scotland

:06:28. > :06:32.because high pressure is building across the UK and Ireland. A lot of

:06:33. > :06:35.sunshine but I will be cloudy spells over the Republic of Ireland and

:06:36. > :06:41.across parts of Northern Ireland tomorrow afternoon. But still quite

:06:42. > :06:47.bright. It will feel pleasant, top temperatures around 14 degrees. A

:06:48. > :06:52.chilly start on Tuesday, but Tuesday looks like it could be the warmest

:06:53. > :06:55.day of the week. A different wind direction coming in from the South

:06:56. > :07:02.East. Highest temperatures will be up to the south-west. Lots of dry

:07:03. > :07:07.weather and quite warm and sunny by the afternoon. Cloudier skies are

:07:08. > :07:11.expected on Wednesday and Thursday. Week whether funds may bring spots

:07:12. > :07:20.of rain, but not a lot and many places in the South will be dry. Our

:07:21. > :07:22.next bulletin is at 10:15pm. Until then, have a lovely evening.
