European election results after the news where

Good evening. The count in the local government elections ended this

morning with the DUP winning the lion's share of seats in the 11 new

super councils. The fallout from the elections continued with the

Alliance MP, Naomi Long, in a row with the DUP over East Belfast.

Speaking on BBC's Sunday Politics programme, Naomi Long accused the

DUP of not fighting fairly. He didn't say the DUP would take the

seat. In fact, Gavin Robinson is the person they have appointed to be my

successor. He was pleading with other Unionists, including those who

have beat them up physically and metaphorically in the last 18

months, begging them to form a pact. They know, in a fair fact, they

could not beat me. You have to look at the number of votes in any party.

In any of the DEAs that make up Belfast. It crystal crick clear.

What you said about Gavin Robinson was graceful and incorrect.

And there'll be live coverage of the European election count from the

King's Hall on BBC One tomorrow from quarter past two.

Police have charged two men after a racist attack on a man in Lisburn

yesterday afternoon. The 35-year-old victim managed to escape and get

help at a nearby pub. Andy West reports.

A secluded towpath. This is where the 35 euros man was walking at

around half past three yesterday afternoon when he was attacked --

35-year-old man. The 18-year-old, 22 your old man and 24 euros man

allegedly hurled foul-mouthed rebukes before hitting him around

the head. He ran up the towpath still being punched and kicked by

the gang. This is where he found safety. Bruised and bloody, he ran

inside as part and was taken to a table upstairs by staff. They

watched to the window the alleged attackers waited outside. I would

appeal to people. There is absolutely no explanation. I don't

know what was between the ears of the people who do this kind of

thing. He was racially abused and then set on. He was given a hiding

for no reason whatsoever. Police looked on by CCTV and then swooped

on the men and teenage as they will back down the towpath. Today and 18

and 22 your old were charged with a number of offensive including

assault, possessing an offensive weapon, and threats to kill. A

16-year-old boy was released. The victim's injuries were not

life-threatening but he was left badly shaken.

The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church has criticised remarks made

by an evangelical preacher who described Islam as "heathen" and

"Satanic". The comments by Pastor McConnell of the Whitewell

Tabernacle in North Belfast, to his congregation, are being investigated

by police. I would be deeply offended if

somebody were to brand press materials or Christians --

would want be treated myself. Golf and Northern Ireland's Rory

McIlroy has won the PGA championship at Wentworth. It's his first

European Tour win since 2012. The 25-year-old, who announced last week

he had split with fiancee Caroline Wozniacki, carded a six-under-par 66

to beat Ireland's Shane Lowry. It has been a difficult week in some

ways but it's been a great week in others. I have played really good

golf throughout the four days. It just seemed like today was, it was

meant to be. The guys ahead of me were making the stakes and I took

advantage of that. Even on the back nine, I work as a shrug I was able

to birdie the last two. It was meant to be.

Finally, here's Barra Best with the weather for the week ahead.

There is no real end in sight to the unsettled weather. A little bit of a

Temperatures in the mid-teens. Some scattering of showers during the

day. Some sunshine will be enjoyable, it will be on and off. It

will be a much cloudier picture by the afternoon. There will be a lot

of cloud around, the first time we have seen some sunshine across some

areas of Britain. Even here, the cloud moves in and will be scattered

showers, some thundery. Showers for Scotland and Ireland. Still rainy

and some rumbles of thunder. To visualise, a bit of -- temperature
