to you. There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel. I'm | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
back with Good evening. A man in his 40s has | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
died in a road accident outside Portadown. He was hit by a car after | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
getting out of a taxi on the Gilford Road. It happened at around 2pm this | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
morning. The Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
accident to contact them. And reports are coming in of a | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
serious accident in County Down - It's believed two vehicles have | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
crashed on the Banbridge road in Dromore. The road has been closed to | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
traffic. There are no other details at the moment. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Hundreds of people have taken part in a protest at Belfast City Hall | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
about animal abuse. There were calls for councils and politicians here to | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
put animal rights higher on the agenda. Eunan McConville reports. | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
Plenty of protesters turned up for this demonstration. There have | :00:55. | :01:02. | |
certainly been plenty of protest here at City Hall over the recent | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
past, but this one is very different. Hundreds of people behind | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
me want more to be done to safeguard animal rights. | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
Hi could you abandon this animal? To think that someone could do that | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
to my pads is unthinkable. Until they start taking these people | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
to court and making a big thing of its, why are people going to be | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
afraid to abuse animals? The crowd was told that Northern Ireland has | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
good animal protection legislation but that more can be done to | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
implement it. The welfare of animals in Northern | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Ireland act was passed in 2011 and according to the USPCA early | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
expectations have not been fulfilled. This legislation is the | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
best kept secret you could ever come across. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Out of 26 council websites, only one mentions this legislation. There is | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
total confusion out there. Able do not know when to reign, who to ring | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
or what to do. Northern Ireland is broken up into | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
five areas and it is up to councils to get a point animal welfare | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
officers for those areas. The Department of Agriculture is | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
responsible for farm animals. Whether these protesters will be | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
listened to dash only time will tell. | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
The Taoiseach Enda Kenny has invited Pope Francis to visit Ireland. He | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
made the request when he met the Pontiff in Rome at today's double | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
canonisation of Pope John Paul II and John XXIII. Mr Kenny said that | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
if the invitation was accepted he would hope Pope Francis would also | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
travel to Northern Ireland during his visit. | :02:54. | :03:04. | |
While it is not an official responsibility of the government, | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
the authorities extend an invitation. We will do everything to | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
make that visit a real success. Gaelic Games and Derry have been | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
well beaten by Dublin in their National Football League final at | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
Croke Park. Earlier Monaghan beat Donegal in the Division Two decider. | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
Michael Markey reports. Derry fans young and old travel to | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Croke Park with more hope than expectation. After four minutes, or | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
boiling gave them an early lead. However their enthusiasm was short | :03:39. | :03:50. | |
lived. We knew there would be a massive | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
test against us. We don't want to give Dublin a lead like that. The | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
all-Ireland champions picked up where they left off in the second | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
half and started to score. They gave Dublin a 12 point lead. | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
We know we can play a lot better than that. With so many young lads, | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
you have to occasionally get a bad one out of the way. I hope we will | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
learn a lot from today and perform a lot better when we come back to | :04:26. | :04:33. | |
Croke Park. In every piece of last year's Ulster | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
championship final, Monaghan won by six points to secure the division | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
two title. Now this week, BBC Newsline will be | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
reporting from Scotland ahead of September's vote on independence. | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
Our reporter Kevin Magee is in Glasgow. | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
We will be testing the appetite for Scottish independence, both here in | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
Ibrox and across the city. At Celtic Park, both sets of supporters have | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
traditional links with Northern Ireland. Will that influence how | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
they vote? It is the right time for Scotland to | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
be Independent and do everything for ourselves. | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
We are voting no. I am British through and through. | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
Coverage begins on radio Ulster in the morning. | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
And Donna Traynor will be reporting live from Glasgow on tomorrow's | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
programme and from Edinburgh on Tuesday. Now the weather forecast. | :05:36. | :05:46. | |
Good evening. It has been a pretty great day across many parts of | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
Northern Ireland. This will probably be the last day that we see decent | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
spells of sunshine. As the week goes on, we are looking at increasing | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
amount of cloud with rain and showers. It will also be turning | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
noticeably colder. Today has been very nice with just one or two | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
showers close to the south-west. They are fading away and many of us | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
will experience a dry end to the day. Cloud will be bringing spells | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
of light and patchy rain from the East. As a result, it is a fairly | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
mild nights lower than six or seven degrees. Tomorrow will be a cloudy | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
day with some rain around fourth top almost anywhere it could be quite a | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
damp and murky start. Writer skies over the northern half of Scotland | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
and for West Wales and the south-west, but these areas are | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
still prone to a few showers. Generally cloudy elsewhere across | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
the country. In the forest south of England they are still prone to some | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
have read -- heavy, thundery downpours. In Northern Ireland is | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
not a great deal has changed. We still have cloudy skies with patches | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
of rain and drizzle raking out almost anywhere. Particularly for | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
Northern areas. Not amounting to a great deal and temperatures are not | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
bad at 13 or 14 degrees. Through the week, cloud and showers and after | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
Wednesday the temperatures will fall. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
Our next BBC Newsline bulletin is at 22.15pm. Until then you can keep up | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
to date with local news on BBC Radio Ulster or on the local news online | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
service. From everyone on the BBC Newsline team, goodbye. | :07:30. | :07:34. |
