:00:10. > :00:12.Four men from Belfast have been remanded in custody accused of an

:00:19. > :00:20.House, 26-year-old Joseph McDonnell from Cedar Avenue and 22-year-old

:00:21. > :00:23.Martin Ferguson from Henderson Avenue are all jointly charged with

:00:24. > :00:26.three burglaries at houses in Belfast, Newtownabbey and

:00:27. > :00:28.Jordanstown in a car they'd stolen earlier. Kevin Brady and Joseph

:00:29. > :00:31.McDonnell are also charged with being armed with knives while

:00:44. > :00:46.Thousands of people have gathered in Larne as part of a parade to

:00:47. > :00:47.commemorate the Ulster Volunteer Force gun- running a hundred years

:00:48. > :01:06.ago. Eunan McConville the and in history was secured in

:01:07. > :01:11.1914 when it was used to bring ammunition into Lauren and by the

:01:12. > :01:18.UVF. Those events are being marked with a huge parade. Raiders came

:01:19. > :01:27.from right across Northern Ireland, even a few from Scotland. Many of

:01:28. > :01:39.them came in period costume. 80 vans are taking part and is wet -- as

:01:40. > :01:45.many as 1000 people are taking part. Rightly or wrongly, whatever we

:01:46. > :01:54.think about the politics of it, it has shaped the province's future. It

:01:55. > :01:59.has been significant over the years. The Loyalist population has

:02:00. > :02:11.certainly been keen to remember their history.

:02:12. > :02:18.The UVF of 1914 was indeed a fully functioning army.

:02:19. > :02:23.The gun-running was a response to the third Home Rule Bill. The

:02:24. > :02:29.outbreak of World War I meant that many volunteers ended up in France.

:02:30. > :02:37.It really moves me. When you think back to how they got

:02:38. > :02:43.on 100 years ago. We are enjoying the day. It's very

:02:44. > :02:48.important for older people who lost their lives.

:02:49. > :02:52.This parade marked the end of the 100 year commemorations for the UVF

:02:53. > :02:55.gun-running. There are still plenty of

:02:56. > :03:04.significant centenary is to come. -- significant centenary is.

:03:05. > :03:07.The husband of a woman from Drogheda who was murdered in Australia has

:03:08. > :03:10.been speaking publicly for the first time about her killing. Jill Meagher

:03:11. > :03:14.was murdered in Melbourne where she had been working in 2012. Her killer

:03:15. > :03:17.Adrian Bayley was jailed last year for 35 years for her rape and

:03:18. > :03:23.murder. Speaking on RTE last night, Jill Marr's husband Tom spoke about

:03:24. > :03:29.his feelings towards the killer. I hate him, obviously. I still do. I

:03:30. > :03:36.think I would have to have some sort of religious six variants to get to

:03:37. > :03:42.the point where I don't. -- some sort of religious experience. I had

:03:43. > :03:46.lots of thoughts of revenge, lots of violent thoughts. But I came to a

:03:47. > :03:50.point where I realised how self-destructive that was. That was

:03:51. > :03:52.a long process. Football and Irish League champions

:03:53. > :03:55.Cliftonville have been presented with the Premiership trophy, the

:03:56. > :03:58.Gibson Cup, in front of their home fans at Solitude. The Reds finished

:04:02. > :04:04.Belfast rivals Crusaders. Manager Tommy Breslin praised his players

:04:05. > :04:13.for successfully defending their title.

:04:14. > :04:28.I think this is more enjoyable, more satisfying. When you have good

:04:29. > :04:31.players like that it's going to -- it's always going to end well.

:04:32. > :04:33.Meanwhile, after several weeks of speculation Linfield have confirmed

:04:34. > :04:36.that the former Northern Ireland International Warren Feeney is the

:04:37. > :04:39.club's new manager. Feeney, who's 33, succeeds David Jeffrey who

:04:40. > :04:40.stepped down today after seventeen years.

:04:41. > :04:43.Northern Ireland's Tony McCoy has been crowned champion jockey for the

:04:44. > :04:47.19th consecutive season. The County Antrim man, who is 40 next month,

:04:48. > :04:50.rode more than 200 winners this season despite missing the start

:04:51. > :04:54.through injury. He was hurt in a fall at Cheltenham a year ago which

:04:55. > :05:02.left him in intensive care. Now for the weather.

:05:03. > :05:08.Good evening. It has been a bright and breezy afternoon. That breeds

:05:09. > :05:13.should start to ease down this evening. Where showers have

:05:14. > :05:16.developed, they will also start to ease away. And increasingly dry

:05:17. > :05:21.evening with some brightness on offer. Tonight it will be dry with

:05:22. > :05:25.clear spells. A bit of low cloud and then missing is darting to forum.

:05:26. > :05:31.Temperatures should hold around five or six degrees. Tomorrow it looks as

:05:32. > :05:35.if it will end up another fairly bright day. Some of us will catch a

:05:36. > :05:44.few showers, but mainly dry first ring. -- dry first thing. It will

:05:45. > :05:50.brighten up across the Republic of Ireland and West of Scotland, as

:05:51. > :05:53.well. We could see some heavy showers developing and some of those

:05:54. > :06:00.could be mixed with hail and thunder. Also some heavy thundery

:06:01. > :06:03.downpours across centre and in -- central England. Mainly dry for the

:06:04. > :06:08.East Coast of England and down for the used coast of Scotland, where it

:06:09. > :06:11.will feel cool. Four at Northern Ireland, we have a bit of an

:06:12. > :06:15.easterly breeze tomorrow but lighter than today. It should be pleasant

:06:16. > :06:19.when the sun gets through. There could be one of two showers but many

:06:20. > :06:26.places will avoid it staying mainly dry. Temperatures will get up to

:06:27. > :06:31.around 15 degrees. Next week, writes spells with a few showers. From
