back with the late news. Now on BBC One it's time for the news where you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
are. One it's time for the news where you | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Now on BBC One, it's time Good evening. There's been an arson | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
attack on a church in County Antrim. Intruders broke into Whiteabbey | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
Methodist Church and managed to start a fire around eleven o'clock | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
last night. Claire Savage reports. According to members of the | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
congregation, arsonist smashed glass in the front door of the church and | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
climbed through. They made their way into a new part of the building and | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
tried to start three fires. The kitchen in the extension was gutted, | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
but Fire crews were able to stop the blaze from spreading. The front door | :00:39. | :00:45. | |
was smashed. I would say it is young people. They were out for a night | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
trying to cause some excitement. The whole church could have caught | :00:54. | :00:57. | |
fire. It is old. There are wooden pews. If it had not been caught, it | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
could have burned to the ground. A special service for children could | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
not take place because of the fire and instead, the Presbyterian Church | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
allowed the congregation to use their calls. Police say the exact | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
cause of the fire has still to be established and want anyone who may | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
have witnessed something to contact them. Two motorbike racers remain | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
critically ill in hospital after crashing during the North West 200. | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
English rider Simon Andrews, who is 29, came off close to the Metropole | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
section of the circuit yesterday. He's being treated at the Royal | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
Victoria Hospital in Belfast, along with French rider Franck Petricola, | :01:36. | :01:42. | |
who was hurt in a crash on Tuesday. The Church of Ireland Bishop of Cork | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
has backed calls for civil marriage for same-sex couples. Dr Paul | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Colton, also said he hoped the church would eventually recognise | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
same-sex marriages in religious ceremonies. His intervention was | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
welcomed by a church group which held a service this afternoon to | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
mark 'International Day against Homophobia'. We agree with what he | :01:57. | :02:10. | |
said and we are delighted to hear it said so publicly and openly. He has | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
a track record of having being sympathetic to gays in the church | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
and he has come out of very strongly in favour of the church having some | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
input into gay partnerships and gay marriages, equal marriage who prefer | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
to call it. Every year around 9,000 schoolchildren here take their | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
Cycling Proficiency Tests. This year 15 per cent more pupils than usual | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
have signed up - a legacy of the Giro perhaps? Catherine Morrison has | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
been finding out. It was a thrilling spectacle, a blur of speed and | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
colour. It is a long way from the pellet on to the playground. These | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
pupils are among thousands taking their Cycling Proficiency Test, | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
learning the skills they need to keep themselves safe. I can cycle on | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
the roads safely and I can go out with my dad cycling. I feel more | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
confident when I am out on the road. It is 40 years since the tests | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
started, but those were different times, quieter roads and no helmets. | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
Nowadays, it is not just the gear that has changed, the test has been | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
updated. This scheme it teaches children how to react to situations. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
Statistics show that less than one third of primary school pupils take | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
the test. We promote the scheme across Northern Ireland to all | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
primary schools. It tends to be the majority of schools that do it. | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
There are pockets where we would like to see it increased. With the | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
increasing popularity of cycling and the recent success of the Giro | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
D'Italia, the number of cyclists on our roads is only going to rise, so | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
it is essential that these young cyclists get the training they need | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
to be safe on our roads. The first game of this year's GAA Ulster | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
Championship has gone to a replay. Tyrone had to rely on captain Sean | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Cavanagh to save them with a last gasp free. A strong second half | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
performance from Down saw them overturn a seven point deficit with | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
goals from Donal O'Hare and Conor McGinn to go into the closing | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
minutes two points ahead. Tyrone dominated the game for a | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
considerable period, but had to call on Sean Cavanagh to save it with two | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
frees, the second coming at the end of added time. Staying with sport | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
and in rugby there was disappointment for Ulster last night | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
as they lost their Rabo Direct Pro12 semifinal against Leinster in | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Dublin. Ulster started well and led by nine points to nil thanks to | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
three penalties from Paddy Jackson. But Leinster stormed back and sealed | :04:57. | :04:59. | |
their victory with this try from Ian Madigan with eight minutes left. Now | :05:00. | :05:08. | |
a look ahead to a series of special reports on BBC Newsline this week. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Have you ever considered what it would be like to be homeless? Our | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
reporter Andy West has spent four nights living on the streets of | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Belfast to find out what life's like when you've hit rock bottom. What | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
help is there and how do people react to you? The girl got very | :05:24. | :05:35. | |
aggressive and was asking me whether I was a foreigner and then started | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
trying to kick me in the face with her stiletto. You can see the first | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
of Andy's reports on Tuesday here on BBC Newsline. And now here's Angie | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
with a look ahead at the weather forecast. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
It has been pretty dismal, particularly in the EEC. Through the | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
rest of the week it will hopefully not be as wet, but it is not | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
straightforward. There will be showers, but also some dry and | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
bright spells and a little bit of sunshine and it will feel warm. For | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
this evening, rain in Easter and parts, it will ease for a time but | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
will return as we head through the night and pushing its way back | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
towards the west, but it is not cold. Into tomorrow, hopefully it | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
will be slightly better, things gradually improving, but it looks | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
like it will be a damp start, particularly in the West and once | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
that moves away, through the morning there will be further rain. Similar | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
across the Republic, cloud with showery bits of fraying, but for the | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
rest of Britain, a fine day, dry with some sunshine -- rain. It will | :06:48. | :06:59. | |
be warm. For Northern Ireland, in the afternoon, temperatures are | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
little bit better, it gets a little bit drier, possibly a few bright | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
intervals, especially in the East. A few showers as we head into the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
evening. On Tuesday, it may be the best day of the week, try bright and | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
warm, but there will be dry and bright spells, through the rest of | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
the week. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin is at 10:20pm this evening. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
Until then you can keep up to date with local news on BBC Radio | :07:31. | :07:31. |
