President Putin calls for the West to condemn it. Now it is | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline. Two men are arrested in a | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
major police operation in County Tyrone. Three brothers with hundreds | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
of criminal convictions are jailed for car crime. Electricity bills | :00:28. | :00:36. | |

Memories of the Belfast bill of health. I am at Newcastle. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
those who survived it 75 years ago. We were taken out from under the | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
stairs. We went out and we were only in the house across the road when | :00:57. | :01:02. | |
another bombshell. And sadly, the glorious sunshine has been for one | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
day, and one day only. Clouds are looming. Two men have been arrested | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
in a major security operation in County Tyrone. Police say as | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
substantial quantity of what they believe is fertiliser was founded a | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
transit van stopped in an early-morning operation. The men | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
aged 33 and 45 are being questioned. Homes were evacuated in the alert at | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
Corbally Road in Fintona. The white transit van that | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
Corbally Road in Fintona. The white security operation. It was stopped | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
by police two miles from Fintona at 2am. Army bomb experts use robots to | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
take a look inside. They removed a fertiliser spreader and other | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
objects. Five homes along the Corbally Road were evacuated. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
Witnesses said they saw a large number of police officers, dressed | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
in black and carrying machine guns. Flares we use to light up | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
surrounding fields. The police helicopter flew over. The army left | :02:13. | :02:19. | |
at lunchtime. The main road between Fintona and the next town was | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
reopened. Forensics officers examined the van and a number of | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
items were taken and away. Two men have been arrested and are in police | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
custody. Three brothers with over 200 criminal convictions between | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
them have been jailed for car crime. It related to a stolen car chase | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
that began on the M2 motorway and continued with the vehicle being | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
driven through Belfast jumping seven red lights and nearly knocking down | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
a pensioner. At one point, a police vehicle in pursuit was rammed by the | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
car thieves. A mother of two children charged along with the | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
brothers was given probation. Mervyn Jess has more. The brothers and | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
young woman pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicle taking. The | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
Chrysler Voyager was stolen in east Belfast in the early hours of | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
February last year. It was spotted by a mobile police patrol on the M2 | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
motorway but sped off towards the city centre with the PSNI | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
motorway but sped off towards the pursuit. It drove through a red | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
light before going around Carlisle Circus the wrong way. Its bed under | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
the shank Hill Road, turning into Lanark Way and almost striking an | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
elderly woman. The stolen car jumped a further six red lights as it | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
continued up the Antrim Road and then travelling on to Dundrod and | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
Templepatrick. They got to Twinbrook, where the occupants were | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
observed running away. The brothers were arrested in the field and the | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
young woman founded an alleyway. The police say during the chase, at one | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
point, the front seat passenger climbed over and changed places with | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
the driver. None of those arrested would say who was driving. Jonathan | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
Gordon, aged 27, was jailed for 20 months. Peter Gordon, 30, was | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
sentenced to 15 months. The third brother, 20-year-old Anthony Gordon | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
was jailed for one year. Mother of two Shauneen Thompson, aged 23, was | :04:39. | :04:45. | |
put on probation for 18 months. The judge rebuked the brothers that | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
their behaviour in court, saying it reflected their blatant disregard | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
for the court and proceedings of the Justice system. Jonathan Gordon | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
replied, so what? A man has been arrested in connection with the | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
discovery of 16 cars in the police searching County Down. It's believed | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
some of the cars in the premises on Crossan Road in Mayobridge had been | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
stolen. A lorry, tools, engine parts and documents were also seized by | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
the police. The company which runs the local | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
power grid has been prevented from putting up charges. Northern Ireland | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
Electricity had wanted to bill customers more in order to pay for | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
upgrading its network. But instead it's been told to reduce charges, as | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports. | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
NIE operates the grid. Its pylons and cables link homes to the big | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
power stations. The company had planned a major overhaul of the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
network, paid for by increasing charges. Now it has been stopped | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
will stop in a ruling from the competition and markets authority. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
The winner is the consumer because we are seeing investment in the | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
network at no additional cost. That is a good result for consumers and | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
it confirms the value of regulation in protecting the interests of | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
consumers. NIE's initial plan would have increased domestic bills by an | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
average ?57 over the period until September 2017. But the ruling will | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
turn that on its head and instead customers will actually see charges | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
reduce over the same period by about ?10. It could be seen as a victory | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
for the regulator who ask the authority to intervene. NIE had | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
looking -- been looking for more money to make improvements. This | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
ruling means they will have to make improvements, but not by charging | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
customers more. It provides reassurance, to provide enough | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
investment to strengthen the grade and ensure they are paying as little | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
as possible, which is what consumers want. The charges only account for a | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
fraction of what we pay. Most of the bill goes to the big suppliers. It | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
is those costs the business community in particular want | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
targeted next. This is good news, the regulator has been proven right. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
We would hope they would take confidence from that and move on to | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
other areas of the bills that will have a bigger impact in terms of | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
final cost the customers. NIE said little in response to the ruling. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Really see it raised the possibility of a legal challenge. Today it | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
accepted the outcome. Five members of the Royal Black | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Institution have been found guilty of failing to comply with conditions | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
imposed by the Parades Commission. The charges relate to a parade past | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
St Patrick's Catholic Church in Donegall Street in Belfast in August | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
2012. A district judge fined the men ?150. Still to come this evening: | :08:03. | :08:14. | |
Find out why some business owners say the Causeway Coastal Route is | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
not an attraction for them. 50 posts are being created in the Titanic | :08:18. | :08:28. | |
Quarter by the IT firm Novosco. The jobs are part of a ?4 million | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
investment by the company, which provides IT infrastructure to | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
clients across the UK and Ireland. Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
says the new posts, in software and engineering, will contribute almost | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
?2 million year to the economy. -- will pay salaries around ?40,000. | :08:43. | :08:49. | |
But 15 jobs are to go after the US software company Vello Systems. The | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
company only officially opened its office in Belfast in February and | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
Invest NI said that although it had been offered financial support, none | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
has yet been handed over. Fears are growing over the survival of the | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
Lough Swilly bus company and the jobs of its 80 employees. The firm | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
has been operating for 160 years. But a trade union has told BBC | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
Newsline that time is running out to save it following the appointment of | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
a liquidator and debts of around ?1 million. Our north-west reporter | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
Keiron Tourish has more. Amen has been a driver with the bus | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
company for 23-year 's. -- this man. He was told he will have no job when | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
he ends his shift this Friday. 60 of the employees | :09:38. | :09:37. | |
he ends his shift this Friday. 60 of with the remainder in Derry. 153 | :09:38. | :09:47. | |
years old, set up by an act of Parliament in London. It is sad, | :09:48. | :09:56. | |
really. The trade union Unite has met workers following the | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
appointment of a liquidator and said the future of the workforce looks | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
neat, although the company has ongoing contracts. It has always | :10:05. | :10:11. | |
been part and parcel of Derry. The bosses are unique. You will | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
recognise them from a mile away. The company has been in severe trading | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
difficulties as long as I have known it but they have always managed to | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
survive. This is an end of an era. So far, nobody has made an official | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
comment from the company. Generations of families have used | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
the bus company to ferry them to and from Donnie Gall. It now appears the | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
transport link is coming to an end -- Donegal. The Causeway Coastal | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
Route has been hailed a tourism success. That we have been talking | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
to bed and breakfast owners on the north coast to say they are paying | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
the price for its popularity. They claim Brown signs are taking | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
sightseers through Portrush and decimating their trade on the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
Coleraine Road. A good deal on rooms, but no takers. Businesses | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
here claim these signs are taking businesses down the wrong road. One | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
of them has written to the Borough Council and Department of regional | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
development for two years. In that time, trade has been hit hard. | :11:27. | :11:33. | |
Unfortunately, we have our property 100 yards off the route. Our | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
business has dropped by 62.3%. If you stand at the corner for 20 | :11:40. | :11:46. | |
minutes any morning, you will see at least 68 Southern registered cars, | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
obviously tourists, following the coastal route. They turn left and | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
then right at the road. They used to be 14th bed and breakfasts along | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
this road but that has gone down to four. Business owners say that is | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
because tourists are directed away from this location. We got a lot of | :12:06. | :12:12. | |
tourist business, at the door, especially in the early part of the | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
season, with especially in the early part of the | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Canadians. They use the coastal route and the more successful it | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
is, the less the pure tourists are travelling this road. The council | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
said it is the department that puts up the signs and needs to resolve | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
it. But the department claims the council will have to take the lead. | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
It looks like this is an issue that will not be put to bed any time | :12:37. | :12:47. | |
soon. Not only does the Giants Causeway attract visitors to that | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
part of the world, so do the beaches. Today the water quality on | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
those beaches and right along the coast got a clean bill of health. | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
The latest scientific tests show all were found to be of an acceptable | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
quality with almost two thirds of them marked as excellent. Our | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
reporter is in Newcastle to tell us more. | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
It is not even Easter yet, but it feels like today could be the first | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
day of the summer. People come to be just like this for a good walk. But | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
the weather is not the only reason why today has been a good day to | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
visit the beach. A beach guide has been published that said that all of | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
Northern Ireland's beaches have acceptable water quality and two | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
thirds of them have excellent water quality, and that is based on work | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
done by scientists from the department of the environment. I am | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
joined by one of them now. Northern Ireland has done pretty well, hasn't | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
it? 2013 saw the best year on record since he began this. We had a 100% | :13:55. | :13:56. | |
pass rate against since he began this. We had a 100% | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
quality standards. They all passed, and of the 23, 20 of them met | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
excellent water quality. Good news for Northern Ireland. We are here in | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
Newcastle. They have not picked -- got good results in recent years. | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
Excellent water quality in 2013. Previously the -- previously it was | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
not as good. It is because of the good weather and the summer we had | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
last year, but we had some wet weather later on in the summer and | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
we had some new infrastructure, a new sewage plant put in here, so it | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
is no coincidence. What does it take to maintain the beaches across | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Northern Ireland? The infrastructure will help going forward, but we are | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
not going to get complacent about this. We | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
not going to get complacent about colleagues across government to | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
ensure that more improvements are made right across Northern Ireland. | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
We are out there every week during the meeting season and we are | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
testing the water on and we act very quickly if we see something wrong. | :15:08. | :15:16. | |
It is a big exercise, gathering this information. Yes, we go out 20 times | :15:17. | :15:25. | |
during the meeting season to test the water samples, so it is a huge | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
operation. They keep very much indeed for joining us. The news is | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
that the water is clean and perfectly safe to bathe. Some people | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
have been suggesting that tonight might be a good night for the first | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
dip of the year. It is a bit blustery out there in a bit cold. | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
dip of the year. It is a bit I've think I've will leave it for a | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
month or two before I'd dive in. I've think you are very wise. We | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
will have the weather forecast later. You're watching BBC Newsline | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
and still to come before seven: Not the normal bedside manner you'd | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
expect at the children's hospital. Find out what's going on later. As | :16:06. | :16:18. | |
some schools continue lessons and others are off enjoying their Easter | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
break, parents are asking why the holidays are not the same across all | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
schools. Around half of all pupils finished last Friday, the other half | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
will finish later this week. As our education correspondent reports, an | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
attempt to harmonise holidays has had only limited effect. | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
The roads are definitely quieter, and you get the feeling that | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
The roads are definitely quieter, Northern Ireland is already on | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
holiday, but many people are still working, and a large number of | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
schools are still open. At this primary school, parents say it is an | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
inconvenience. It is quite frustrating, to be honest with you, | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
especially if they have friends from other schools. Obviously for work | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
colonies as well. Feedback from parents indicates they prefer their | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
children do have the same holidays. What is the picture across Northern | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
Ireland? 71 days off are allowed, and a calendar of days have been | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
agreed on and which buses will not run. The holiday dates only apply to | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
schools in the state sector. The range of sectors, Catholic, | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
voluntary, grammar and grants maintained do not stick | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
voluntary, grammar and grants plan. Summer school like this one | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
give different holidays to defend your group to allow for exam | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
revision, and secondary schools say they like to stay open close to exam | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
times, when primary schools might prefer to close for longer. All of | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
my friends are off at the same time. They get two days off for half term | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
and we get a week. We have three days because of the week we had in | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
February. The principle here is content with the holiday | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
flexibility. If I have complete control of holidays I would like to | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
have a shorter summer holiday. That may not go down very well with | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
teaching colleagues, but educationally it would be a better | :18:18. | :18:19. | |
idea. School holidays educationally it would be a better | :18:20. | :18:25. | |
almost completely synchronised since 2004, and apart from two days at the | :18:26. | :18:27. | |
start and end of the summer holidays, are identical. | :18:28. | :18:38. | |
The GAA has defended its decision to give Sky exclusive access to 14 | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
televised matches this summer. Appearing before a parliamentary | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
committee in Dublin this afternoon, senior figures said they'd done it | :18:44. | :18:47. | |
to ensure emigrants had access to Gaelic games. But some politicians | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
questioned the deal, saying it would exclude fans at home. | :18:51. | :19:04. | |
It is a quarterback goal! It is two weeks since the GAA announced that | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
some of the games would be available on Lough Swilly. That has sparked a | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
vigorous debate. Under the three year deal, they will have exclusive | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
rights, including to the ball quarterfinals. The GAA once the | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
table always keep its games on free to air full cup but before a | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
committee in Dublin, the man who led the organisation said things had | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
changed. In 2010, we said we would keep our games open, but we could | :19:33. | :19:38. | |
not deal with things this time, because Ireland is different. There | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
are far more people abroad than ever before. We could not ignore those | :19:42. | :19:52. | |
people. The GAA prides itself on its amateur status. Many of the | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
politicians questioning the two officials were members themselves. | :19:57. | :19:58. | |
Some back to the deal, but others worried about the consequences. What | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
do you say to the family, the husband and wife and three kids, you | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
do you say to the family, the cannot afford the Sky package | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
because of economic circumstances they find themselves with? They are | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
left with the trade-off. Go to the pub and watch the game, or stay at | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
home and not watch the game. Dublin has made just one change. The GAA | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
said there was no big cash incentives for going with Sky. The | :20:28. | :20:34. | |
income was only marginally higher than a previous broadcast deal. The | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
company 's involvement with held to broaden the appeal of the Gaelic | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
games, according to a spokesperson from the GAA. | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
73 years ago today, the Luftwaffe bombed Belfast. In just five hours, | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
thousands of incendiaries, bombs and landmines fell on the city. It was | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
the highest death toll in any single air raid outside of London. There's | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
no accurate figure for the number of dead. It's estimated at more than a | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
thousand Today, one family remembered the sister they lost. | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
Back in their native city, today these sisters returned to where | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
tragedy came to their family. In April of 1941, they were split up. | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Somewhere in Dublin for Easter holidays while others were on Easter | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
holidays -- where elsewhere when the bombs began to fall. The house was | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
on fire. I went hysterical. We ran out and die Gotze... -- we ran out. | :21:39. | :21:49. | |
One sister had travelled back to work on Tuesday and she never saw | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
her 16th birthday. It was two days before we realised that Susie and my | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
aunt were killed. We did not know anything like that. My mother was | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
terrible because she was leaving her husband. You never think these | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
things will happen. The sisters had been living just off a road that was | :22:13. | :22:19. | |
peppered with bombs because of the strategic location of the barracks. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
The names of some of those who died are inscribed behind me post up | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
some, like Susie, were never found. Today, for the first time, they were | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
able to pay a public tribute. They were just lost and that was it. At | :22:38. | :22:50. | |
least we can commemorate her. My mother went through so much. At the | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
same time, excuse me for being... But it just is wonderful being here. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
The family never returned to live in Belfast, although the memory of a | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
much loved sister lives on. A little bit of magic came to the | :23:09. | :23:25. | |
Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children this morning as the English | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
Youth Ballet performed The Sleeping Beauty. There were lots of happy | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
faces especially when a member of staff swapped her thermometer for a | :23:32. | :23:33. | |
pair of ballet pumps. staff swapped her thermometer for a | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
The English Youth Ballet jobs in for a dance this morning. They perform | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
scenes from The Sleeping Beauty, a tale of romance and baggage -- | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
magic. I'd like to when they were on one leg. It was really good. It | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
cheers them up. It gives them something to say, what was that | :23:59. | :24:02. | |
Mister Mark something they don't normally see. -- what was that? | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Something they don't normally see. Fundraising while performance | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
disrupted during their performance will have by -- fundraising will | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
help by new agreement for the hospital. They would not normally | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
see us in costume. It is a love tale, really, about aprons finding a | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
Princess, and she was going to sleep for 100 years and wakes up and finds | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
true love. One lucky nurse also found her prince. A few hours of | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
pure fantasy was a tonic for everyone involved. Some of them are | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
amazed at how the dancers can actually stand on their toes. That | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
was a very nice experience. The male dancer was able to lift the | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
ballerina. 112 local children are joining the cast, with or lasting | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
six hours each day. It is a grueling agile but one with a happy ending. | :25:06. | :25:14. | |
The ballet was a tonic for everybody at the hospital today. They will | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
tell you what was my tonic, the sunshine. I had my lunch sitting | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
outside today. A great day for sunshine. I had my lunch sitting | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
outside today. A great day Wonderful day on a date for the sunglasses in | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
the sun cream of stop the UV levels are rising -- sun cream. The UV | :25:28. | :25:35. | |
levels are rising. This satellite picture, you do not see that very | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
often, virtually cloudless skies across much of Britain and Northern | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
Ireland. There was a bit of an onshore breeze which pegs | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
temperatures back a little bit, but lovely scenes. It is a lovely | :25:50. | :25:56. | |
evening, dry and sunny, and I am sure there will be some lovely | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
sunset scenes. Maybe just a little bit of cloud aging and later on. A | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
bit more of a southerly breeze tonight, so it will not be quite as | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
cold as last night. Just one or two role spots, perhaps in the South, | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
dipping to around three or four. A weather front is approaching from | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
the North West, which will bring increasing amounts of cloud. It | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
certainly does not look like it will be the sunshine that we head this | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
morning, but probably a bright and breezy start, particularly for | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
eastern areas, but later in the morning, the rain starts to edge its | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
way in and we could get the odd moderate burst moving into parts of | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
County Durham. It will not be quite as persistent here. The temperatures | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
will go down with the lack of sunshine. Tomorrow evening, very | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
different from this evening, cloudy skies and shall read bits of pieces | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
of rain going through. As a result, it will be a pretty mild night. Into | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
Thursday, there will still be a few showers just trickling into parts of | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
the North and West. Southern areas enjoying the best of any drier | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
spells, but a good deal of crowd -- cloud and feeling quite cool. The | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
start of the Easter weekend is looking nearly dry, if not on the | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
cloudy and cool side. A reminder of our main stories this evening. Two | :27:25. | :27:30. | |
men have been arrested after a major security operation in County Tyrone. | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
And three brothers who have several hundred or mental connections | :27:36. | :27:37. | |
between them have been jailed for car crime. -- several hundred | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
criminal connections. We will be back at 10:25pm. Goodbye. | :27:45. | :27:46. |
