Good evening. Around 4,000 people have attended an anti-racism rally | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
outside Belfast City Hall. It follows recent racist attacks in the | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
city and a row over controversial | :00:15. | :00:15. | |
comments about Muslims made by a Belfast | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
pastor and the First Minister, Peter Robinson. A smaller rally was also | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
held in Londonderry. Dan Stanton reports. | :00:24. | :00:34. | |
Their was massive support for Anna Lo, the MLA who herself has been the | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
victim of racist abuse. It is not about me, it is about all of us. We | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
must stand up against sectarianism and racism. Islamic leaders and | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
members of other ethnic groups were among the crowd which spilled onto | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
the road outside Belfast City Hall. I'm disappointed that we need to | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
organise a rally to see no to racism. I do not remember such a | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
drastic increase in hate crime incidents in recent years. Today's | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
rallies were organised after the First Minister, Peter Robinson, | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
defended Pastor James McConnell who described Islam as Satanic and | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
heathen. Mr Robinson also said he would not trust Muslims involved in | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
violence or devote ease of Sharia law. He also said he would trust | :01:35. | :01:41. | |
Muslims to go to the shops for him. The First Minister claims he was | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
misinterpreted. Many are today's demonstration did not think he had | :01:48. | :01:55. | |
goal -- many ad today's demonstration did not think that he | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
had went far enough. I would like to see changes made in the government. | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
Respect for ethnic minorities. It was shameful. I would like to think | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
he would have the decency to stand down. The police have closed the | :02:11. | :02:18. | |
road here because of the number of people who have turned up. There is | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
due to be another antiracism rally next weekend. | :02:22. | :02:54. | |
A 49-year-old man has been killed in a road accident in Cushendun. He was | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
riding a motorcycle which was involved in a collision with a car | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
on the Loughareema Road just after | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
half-past ten this morning. A Londonderry hotel which was badly | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
damaged in a fire bomb attack in the early hours of Friday morning has | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
re-opened. The owners of the Everglades | :03:10. | :03:10. | |
Hotel, which is the starting point for tomorrow's Walled City Marathon, | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
said they were determined to get back to business as soon as | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
possible. Peter Coulter reports. | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
Fire damaged. What a difference a day makes. The final touches, a | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
quick hoover. The hotel is ready for its guest. The Everglades Hotel is | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
part of the Hastings group. The owner paid tribute to the staff. | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
Yesterday, I was shocked. I thought it was a difficult situation. To | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
date, the amount of work and the achievement and the support that | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
everybody has given has been enormous. The Deputy First Minister | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
also came along to show his support. It was an opportunity to express my | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
support and solidarity for the fantastic people who work in this | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
hotel. Around 1500 people are Jews here tomorrow for the start of the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
Walled City Marathon. Everyone I have been speaking to says they are | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
determined not to be drawn back to the past. The message is that | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Londonderry and the Everglades are open for business. Families came out | :04:04. | :04:09. | |
to soak up the sun at this carnival. Organisers say that they hope the | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
carnival and to moral's marathon show the city in the way that it | :04:14. | :04:14. | |
wants to be seen. In international football, Northern | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
Ireland were narrowly defeated by Uruguay in a friendly match in | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
Montevideo. This close-range strike by | :04:23. | :04:24. | |
Christian Suani in the 62nd minute was enough to win the game for the | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
home side, who will face England in the | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
group stages at next month's World Cup | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
finals in Brazil. And the Republic of Ireland are due | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
to kick off their international friendly in Italy within the next | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
hour. A glorious day today. What does the | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
rest of the weekend have in store for | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
us? Here's Angie Philips. It has been glorious today. I hope | :04:44. | :04:58. | |
you are making the most of it, because by tomorrow, it will not be | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
as cheery. It will be a nice evening. There will be brightness to | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
end the day. Overnight, cloud will be increasing. There will be some | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
rain and drizzle, especially in the Northwest. Not amounting to much. | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
Generally, it will be dry. Low temperatures of 11 degrees. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
Tomorrow, more cloud around. We will see more rain moving in. It will be | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
a dry start for the Walled City Marathon. As we head towards the | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
afternoon, there will be an increasing threat of rain. Tomorrow, | :05:35. | :05:43. | |
some spots of rain in places. Elsewhere, some fine weather on | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
offer, especially across the East of Scotland. Two words Wales and the | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
south-west, it will be clouding over. Thicker cloud moving into the | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
north and west of Scotland, and Ireland as well. Some of the rain | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
could be thundery. Some of that will affect parts of Northern Ireland in | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
the afternoon. Not all parts, there will be gaps. Temperatures down on | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
today and it will be more of a breeze. Tomorrow evening, most of | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
those will see the heavy, Shelley rain for a time. It sets us up for | :06:21. | :06:22. | |
the week ahead. | :06:23. | :06:36. |
