:00:00. > :00:13.Good evening. The DUP has won the lion's share of seats in the 11 new
:00:14. > :00:16.supercouncils. Voting was completed in the early hours of this morning.
:00:17. > :00:19.The fallout from the elections continued with the Alliance MP,
:00:20. > :00:21.Naomi Long, in a row with the DUP over East Belfast. Our political
:00:22. > :00:31.correspondent, Martina Purdy, reports. The count in the council
:00:32. > :00:37.elections is barely over but already parted at getting up what it might
:00:38. > :00:41.mean for next year's General Election, particularly in east
:00:42. > :00:47.Belfast. The DUP is determined to win back the seat it lost to
:00:48. > :00:53.Alliance four years ago. The DUP has suggested talks with the Ulster
:00:54. > :00:57.Unionist do deals. A brief that does not sit well with this MP. They
:00:58. > :01:01.didn't say the DUP would take the seat. In that the person that they
:01:02. > :01:08.have in order to be Misys yes was pleaded with our -- pleading with
:01:09. > :01:12.other Unionist and beaten up for pleaded -- physically and
:01:13. > :01:18.metaphorically for them to fall apart. In a fair fight, they could
:01:19. > :01:22.not win. Also speaking on Sunday politics, the DUP hit back. What you
:01:23. > :01:26.have to do is look at the number of votes each party in each of the DA
:01:27. > :01:33.'s that make up East Belfast. You do not come up with the Alliance party
:01:34. > :01:35.being top. That is actually crystal clear. What she said about Gavin
:01:36. > :01:39.Robinson was disgraceful and incorrect. Tensions are unlikely to
:01:40. > :01:44.ease as the count up begins tomorrow.
:01:45. > :01:47.Police have charged two men after a racist attack on a man in Lisburn
:01:48. > :01:50.yesterday afternoon. The 35-year-old victim managed to escape and get
:01:51. > :02:04.help at a nearby pub. Andy West reports. A secluded toe past. This
:02:05. > :02:06.is where the 35 your odd man was walking at around half past three
:02:07. > :02:14.yes the afternoon when he was attacked. The teenager aged 16 and
:02:15. > :02:18.two men aged 18 and 22 allegedly held foul mouth rated rebuke the
:02:19. > :02:24.shrug abuse before beating him around the head. The victim escaped
:02:25. > :02:29.and ran up the! Still being punched and kicked by the gang. Here is
:02:30. > :02:34.where he found safety, bruised and bloodied he ran inside the pub and
:02:35. > :02:37.was taken to a table upstairs by staff. They watched to the window
:02:38. > :02:51.while his alleged attackers awaited outside. I would appeal to people,
:02:52. > :02:54.there is no explanation. I don't understand what is between the ears
:02:55. > :02:59.of the people who do this kind of thing. It's madness. He was racially
:03:00. > :03:07.abused and then set on, given a headache for nothing no reason
:03:08. > :03:12.absolutely. Police looked on CCTV and swooped on a teenager as he
:03:13. > :03:16.walked back down the tow path. Today an 18 and 22-year-old were charged
:03:17. > :03:21.with a number of offences including assault, possessive and effective
:03:22. > :03:25.weapon and threats to kill. A 16 old boy was released. The victim's
:03:26. > :03:29.injuries were not life-threatening but he has been left badly shaken.
:03:30. > :03:32.The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church has criticised remarks made
:03:33. > :03:37.by an evangelical preacher who described Islam as "heathen" and
:03:38. > :03:40."Satanic". But members of Pastor James McConnell's church in north
:03:41. > :03:47.Belfast, today said, they supported his comments. Martin Cassidy
:03:48. > :03:52.reports. It was business as usual at Pastor
:03:53. > :03:56.McConnell was in the Church in North fast as members of the congregation
:03:57. > :04:02.arrived for a morning service. The evangelical coming's about Islam
:04:03. > :04:10.last Sunday provoked criticism but not within his own church, it seems.
:04:11. > :04:16.He said whatever body is thinking. They are. We been dominated by the
:04:17. > :04:20.Muslims. There is a lot of things said that I would not be happy
:04:21. > :04:24.about. I am kind of balance, you know.
:04:25. > :04:30.At last Sunday public service he described Muslims as heathen and
:04:31. > :04:34.Satanic. He taught aggregation that, a new evil has arisen. These
:04:35. > :04:40.comments have been described as irresponsible by the Belfast Islamic
:04:41. > :04:46.centre. Now one of the main churches has condemned his attack. Speaking
:04:47. > :04:52.on BBC radio Oster, the moderator of the church said the Pastor's words
:04:53. > :04:56.were unacceptable. I would be deeply offended if
:04:57. > :05:02.someone were to brand or Presbytarians or Christians with
:05:03. > :05:06.some extreme act, by someone who claim to do it in the name of
:05:07. > :05:11.Christ. I want to treat my neighbour as I would want to be treated
:05:12. > :05:13.myself. Pastor McConnell doesn't grow comments have resulted in a
:05:14. > :05:17.piece investigation church attendance does not appear to have
:05:18. > :05:23.been affected. Sunday service from this church is usually streamed live
:05:24. > :05:29.on the Internet making it available to the wider world. Not today. The
:05:30. > :05:31.reason is not clear. So far, Pastor McConnell's comment this week are
:05:32. > :05:38.being shared only with those inside the church.
:05:39. > :05:41.Golf and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy has won the PGA championship
:05:42. > :05:45.at Wentworth. It's his first European Tour win since 2012. The
:05:46. > :05:48.25-year-old, who announced last week he had split with fiancee, Caroline
:05:49. > :05:57.Wozniacki, carded a six-under-par 66 to beat Ireland's Shane Lowry.
:05:58. > :06:02.In Gaelic football, Donegal have beaten Derry by one goal and 11
:06:03. > :06:06.points to 11 points. Leo McLoone scored the decisive goal at Celtic
:06:07. > :06:12.Park just before half time. With Derry replacement James Kielt sent
:06:13. > :06:16.off late in the game. Now with the weather forecast for
:06:17. > :06:19.the next few days, here's Barra Best.
:06:20. > :06:30.Hello. Very little will change as he moved to the evening. We hold onto
:06:31. > :06:33.scattered showers. Some will be heavy and slow moving, possibly with
