hear this news when they are coming A carpet store has been destroyed

in a major fire at a retail park in East Belfast.

Louise Cullen reports. The thick smoke rising

from the unit at Connswater Retail Up close, the flames tore through

the building as crowds looked on. It was a typically busy Saturday

afternoon here at Connswater Retail When the fire started,

the shop was filled with customers. We are dealing with a very severe

fire. All staff and members of the public in the shop when it was

biggest, there was great action by the staff to get people out and even

now we are dealing with damage but thankfully not any injuries or loss

of life. As the fire slowly came under

control, concern grew about It is a bad blow could a retail park

and hopefully they can get these businesses open again quickly. One

premise is very badly damaged, the ones next to which have fire and

smoke damage also. Investigations are underway

into the cause of the blaze. A man has died

after he was struck by a car The victim,

48-year-old Gordon Deery, who was from the area, was walking on the

Belfast Road just before midnight when the incident occurred.

A 21-year-old man has been arrested. Thousands of people have taken part

in an anti-racism march in Belfast. It was organised in response to

an upsurge in hate crime and With percussion in hand

and voices at the ready, anti-racism demonstrators drummed,

chanted and even sang their way Organisers said it was

the most ethnically diverse march The message today is quite simple,

say no to racism. It is a chance for people to stand with their

neighbours of all ethnic origins, religious groups, and a chance to

send a message to politicians that the lack of political action on this

issue is no longer acceptable. At Writers' Square,

speakers called for an end to racist attacks and for Stormont to publish

its racial equality strategy. This speaker, who's Polish,

said she'd found the events It's made me wonder why I'm here.

I've been here for ten years and this is my home, I don't want to go

anywhere else, but the last few weeks have been really difficult.

It's moving for me that so many people of all nationalities,

races and different beliefs came out here today.

In spite of bad weather, organisers say they are pleased with a good

turnout, they estimate between 6000 and 8000 people have taken to the

streets. Everyone who has taken part says it is spending out as strong a

message as they could have hoped. -- sending out as good a message.

David Humphreys today confirmed that he is to

He is joining English club Gloucester to take up

No one was more shocked than the chief executive, at Ravenhill today.

David of course wants to move his career on, the surprising part is

this bead at which it happened. How did David explain his reasons for

wanting to leave? Primarily career, he feels the need to test himself in

a different environment. Humphreys enjoyed a stellar career as a player

with Ulster, captaining the side to European cup success in 1989 before

becoming director of European cup success in 1989 before

ago. What did Ulster try and do to keep David Humphreys here? I don't

think we tried to do anything. He has been consistent in saying his --

he wants his career to an advanced so we wouldn't stand in his way. So

as David Humphreys ends a 20 year association with Ulster, the search

now begins to find his successor. It was a very wet day earlier for

us. Here is the rest of the weekend weather forecast. After a miserable

day it is brightening for the evening. This deck area of cloud is

at last moving north. The sun has come through across parts of the

South and west and it will continue to brighten this evening. Not

completely dry, there will be a few sharp showers across parts of the

West but otherwise a nice end to the day. Some showers in the early hours

and it stays mild. Tomorrow may start but we are looking at a drier

brighter day overall with sunshine breaking through the mist in the

morning. As temperatures start to rise, showers will brew up and drift

north towards North in the afternoon. There will be a handful

of travellers for parts of northern written but otherwise warm weather

with temperatures reaching in the mid-20s in parts of England, up to

18, possibly 20 degrees for us. There will be heavy showers,

especially in the West where there could be thunder, the best whether

further east. In the new week, we keep this mix of sunshine and

showers and with winds in the South, it will stay on the warm side with

temperatures up to possibly 20 degrees. We'll be back tomorrow

evening at 6:10pm. You can keep up to day with local news on BBC Radio

Ulster and our local news online service. Enjoy the rest of your

evening. MUSIC: "Hotel Room"
