Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: The mother of a teenager | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
shot five times in the legs describes his attackers as thugs. | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
NI21 will take no action against its leader Basil McCrea following | :00:23. | :00:32. | |
allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour. The Police Has this is | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
Ombudsman clears the first stage in a legal bid to force the Chief | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
Constable to hand over material. A senior scientist at a government | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
agency is leave his post after an by the Department of Justice. | :00:49. | :01:00. | |
There are proposals for new cameras to detect vehicles driving illegally | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
I'm live at Pinehurst, North Carolina as Rory McIlroy and Graeme | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
McDowell begin their second rounds at the US Open. | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
High pressure is in charge of our weather for the next few days. It | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
looks like a dry and mild, if rather cloudy, weekend ahead. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Gunmen who shot a teenager in the legs last night fired through a | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
plaster-cast that he was wearing because he'd earlier hurt himself in | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
an accident. The 18-year-old from Londonderry was shot five times in | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
total. Today, his mother said she didn't know why her son was targeted | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
and described his attackers as bullies and thugs. The family have | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
been speaking to our north west reporter Keiron Tourish. | :01:43. | :01:51. | |
18-year-old Gareth Fisher was shot three times in one like, and twice | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
in the other, just after 11pm last night. Two masked men arrived at his | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
home in Rathlin Drive in Creggan, and made his way into a shed, where | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
the teenager was watching a video with a friend. They shot through a | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
plaster cast that Gareth had on one like after a recent motorcycle | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
accident. These are boys. They will do as they want or nothing at all. | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
It is shocking. Disgusting. That is all they are. I can't even find a | :02:29. | :02:36. | |
word to describe them. Why do you think they did this? I don't have a | :02:37. | :02:42. | |
clue. I really don't have a clue. It is shocking that people can do that. | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
It is children shooting children. The 18-year-old was in hospital for | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
several hours, as his anxious relatives waited for news. We want | :02:56. | :03:09. | |
the -- we want peace, and we will fight for peace. It is heartbreaking | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
to watch that family falling apart. It is from the cradle to the grave. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
That is his mother, that is her baby. One former Maher said the | :03:20. | :03:30. | |
attack was horrendous. It is brutal. You are shot five times in both | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
legs. Absolutely brittle. It is barbaric to be honest. The police | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
have issued an appeal for witnesses. They have said they are still trying | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
to establish a motive for the attack, and are following a number | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
of lines of enquiry. They say there can be no justification for the | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
shooting. It's understood the political party | :03:50. | :03:59. | |
NI21 has decided no action should be taken against its leader Basil | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
McCrea after receiving a report into alleged inappropriate sexual | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
activity. A complaint was made by former employee, Ashleigh Murray. | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
Our political editor Mark Devenport This report was asked for by NI21 's | :04:07. | :04:18. | |
deputy leader John McCallister after receiving complaints from former | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
staff members or staff members of NI21. We know that around the time | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
of the election, when the story was breaking, Basil McCrea wrote an | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
e-mail to NI21 party leaders, where he said that he faced allegations of | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
sexual misconduct, but made it clear in that e-mail that he believed he | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
had done nothing wrong. We haven't heard anything officially from NI21 | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
or from Basil McCrea during the course of the day, but we do | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
understand from Ashleigh Murray, that she says she has been told that | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
no action will be taken, and that she is unhappy about this, and wants | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
to take the matter further by referring her complaints to the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
standards Commissioner. She believes other former staff members will take | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
action. We do you think this leaves the party, the leader, and its | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
deputy? Obviously, it is difficult, it depends on an official statement | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
from NI21, but I think it is pretty clear that this was a partnership | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
between John McCallister and Basil McCrea that was both a friendship as | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
well as a political partnership, and that it is now completely separated. | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
John McCallister was really only staying in the party to see out this | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
process, and if the investigation is not going to Leeds to anything, I | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
suspect that John McCallister probably want to be staying in a now | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
21 much longer. An unprecedented legal challenge by | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
the Police Ombudsman against the PSNI has cleared the first hurdle in | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
the courts. Michael Maguire says his requests for information have been | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
turned down on more than a hundred occasions. Our homes affairs | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
correspondent Vincent Kearney has 20 years ago, six Catholic men were | :05:54. | :06:08. | |
shot dead by the UVF, as they watched a World Cup match in a bar | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
in Northern Ireland. No one has ever been convicted. The police ombudsman | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
is investigating allegations that the police did not properly | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
investigate, because an informer was involved, and that there was | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
collusion between some police officers and the killers. Michael | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Maguire accused the police of obstructing the investigation. There | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
are allegations of serious criminal behaviour and misconduct by police | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
officers. The ombudsman announces attention to take the PSNI to | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
court. We cannot have the situation where those who are the subject of | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
an investigation will determine what information is given to those who | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
are undertaking the investigation. The investigation started today. The | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
High Court was told their request for information was turned down by | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
the police. A lawyer for the ombudsman said the decision to begin | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
proceedings had not been taken lightly. He said the police were | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
obliged to hand over their sensitive material requested. He described the | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
refusal to do so as the rational, misconceived, and mistaken. The | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
police reject any suggestion that they are obstructing the work of the | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
ombudsman, and to date, criticised his work to do -- his decision to | :07:22. | :07:28. | |
take legal action. They have said he acted with unseemly haste. He said | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
that he rushed to court on a acted with unseemly haste. He said | :07:33. | :07:38. | |
of utmost sensitivity. He described dialogue between the two sides, | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
before the matter was brought to court. The judge granted leave for | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
judicial review, but adjourned the issue for two weeks, saying he will | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
the two sides can come to an agreement that will avoid the need | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
for a court hearing. Coming up later in the programme: | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
What the country music star Nathan Carter has to do with rugby this | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
weekend. A man who has lived here for over | :08:03. | :08:24. | |
20 years has had his arm broken in a racist attack in front of | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
Belfast city centre shoppers. The assault was earlier this week. The | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
police have told us that in the past six weeks they have charged five | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
people in connection with racist hate crime in Belfast and made | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
fifteen arrests. Claire Savage In broad daylight, around 5:30pm in | :08:38. | :08:48. | |

This street trader struggles with two other men. The father of one, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
originally from Turkey, is knocked to the ground. He manages to get to | :09:03. | :09:10. | |
his feet again. Before another scuffle and shoppers come to his | :09:11. | :09:14. | |

mortgage. I have two paper everyone. If I am not working, I won't get | :10:22. | :10:27. | |

enquiries. Two women who admitted assaulting a | :10:30. | :10:37. | |
seriously ill patient and medical staff in a hospital intensive care | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
unit have been given suspended jail sentences. 24-year-old Biddy Mongan | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
of Stanley's Walk in Londonderry and 30-year-old Eileen Stokes from | :10:47. | :10:48. | |

scientist at a government agency is to leave his post after an | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
investigation by the Department of Justice. It found that it was | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
inappropriate for him to be the co-owner of a laboratory business | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
while employed as a civil servant. Here's our business correspondent | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
Julian O'Neill. The scientist is soon to leave an | :11:13. | :11:25. | |
organisation within this facility. Forensic science Northern Ireland. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
Last year, he was the subject of a complaint to David Ford from a | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
commercial company and an investigation followed. I understand | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
that a report by the Department of Justice concluded that it was not | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
appropriate for this scientist to continue as part owner of a private, | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
outside laboratory business, while at the same time, employed by a | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
PSNI. One of the suggestions was that he retired. It was found that | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
there was potential conflict of interest. This is because his firm | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
was a competitor of companies seeking work from this company. He | :12:03. | :12:12. | |
had been involved with the company for years, but it was not disclosed | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
on the F S NI conflict register until 2012. This is despite a | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
whistle-blower having common forward at an earlier point in time. I think | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
they do have questions to answer about how the management dealt with | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
this at the time, and why it was not properly registered in the first | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
instance, and how conclusive was the declaration when it was first | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
registered. The most important thing is that we have in place something | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
that is fair, and is part of a government system. So that everyone | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
understands exactly what they have got to do, and then you have to have | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
a really thorough system that actually enforces them. David Ford | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
said they investigated to contracts awarded by the forensic science | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
Northern Ireland. And said that they had not been awarded properly. The | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
report will now be passed to the audit office. | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
The SDLP Leader Alasdair McDonnell has called on the police to extend | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
their policy on the erection of flags in south Belfast to | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
Yesterday, the police said they'd treat loyalist flags in a mixed area | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
of the Ormeau Road in south Belfast as a breach of the peace. | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
But as Mark Simpson reports, the police move has led to confusion | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
The police have made it clear, any more flights put up in this part of | :13:37. | :13:51. | |
south Belfast will be treated as a breach of the police. But the SDLP | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
says that what the police do on the road they should also do elsewhere. | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
The point is, that the action should not become find -- should not be | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
confined to contentious areas of south Belfast, it has to extend | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
right across the country. People should not be allowed to cause | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
aggravation and to use the flag as a tribal elements and an element of | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
provocation. The move led to a number of questions. Was it a | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
wholesale change in policy, and what would it mean on the ground? The | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
progressive Unionist party wants answers. I want clarification on how | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
they are going to implement this. Every time we think someone is going | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
to put a fight up, how do we do this? In a statement this afternoon, | :14:50. | :14:50. | |
they said... The sequence of events this week has | :14:51. | :15:14. | |
led to a lot of confusion around what is already a complex issue. | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
Disagreements over flags are nothing new, but there is one thing which | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
all sides agree on, the police can solve the problem on their own. -- | :15:24. | :15:40. | |
cannot solve the problem. We will be hearing from two of Northern | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
Ireland's major champions. Join me live in Pinehurst. | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
Many motorists, I'm sure, would admit to driving | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
along bus lanes in Belfast when they are not supposed to. | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
Well, avoiding a penalty could be more difficult in the future. | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
Under new proposals, cameras may be put up | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
and it could become a civil offence so motorists could be punished with | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
a ?60 fine instead of the current ?30 fine. | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
Bus lanes. Love them or loathe them they are here to stay. Many more | :16:07. | :16:23. | |
have appeared on Belfast's roads in the past three years. At the | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
moment, the police have responsibility for detecting the | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
goals driving in bus lanes illegally, and now the Department of | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
regional development is considering taking on that role, with plans to | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
make it a civil offence. It has to be kept clear of those obstructions. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
At the moment, the resources are not there to do that effectively. This | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
will hopefully make it much more rigorous. This bus lane is currently | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
in operation, but in the past few minutes, I have witnessed a number | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
of cars using it when they should not have been. A survey by the | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
Department for regional development found that a | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
Department for regional development vehicles are using bus lanes | :17:08. | :17:08. | |
illegally, and that is something illegally, and that is something | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
they want to crack down on. Promoters of sustainable transport | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
are welcoming any moves to make travelling by bus a March octave | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
option. Most people do comply with the legislation and stay in the | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
lanes and don't go in the bus lanes. Their frustration is that people are | :17:28. | :17:30. | |
doing it and getting away with it were appearing to get away with it. | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
I think these new measures will certainly rectify that, which is | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
probably the biggest problem. Thus Lane cameras have been operating in | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
Scotland since 2012, detecting more than 400 drivers a day. Would they | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
be a good thing for the roads in Northern Ireland? On totally agree | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
with it. It is hard enough driving through this town without having | :17:54. | :18:00. | |
them. Car drivers are driving in the bus lanes and causing accidents. The | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
motorist always suffers. Whether it is car tax or other fees, we will | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
never win. It is not clear when we are likely to see bus Lane cameras | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
here, but it is expected they will be in place before the induction of | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
a rapid transportation system in 2017. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
We're used to hearing about thousands | :18:26. | :18:26. | |
of people descending on outdoor music festivals in the summer. | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
But this weekend, the hottest tickets are for a big | :18:30. | :18:31. | |
outdoor gig that's marrying the worlds of rugby and country music. | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
I don't think Nathan Carter has ever played the game, | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
but he's performing at the City of Derry club for the first time, | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
A big-name visitor to the club to help the next generation. And now | :18:40. | :18:57. | |
A big-name visitor to the club to another big name to help secure the | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
club for the next generation. Commercial sponsors were queuing up | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
to ensure their wares around sports grounds, but sponsors went... This | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
club has lost more than half its sponsorship. During the downturn we | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
lost 6% of our sponsorship from local businesses over the last five | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
years. It is imperative to our survival and to the project that we | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
are interested in. But all is not lost. One helping hand leaves the | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
stage and another enters. There is something different to me about the | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
atmosphere of an outdoor gig, especially if the weather is good. | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
The people really want to get into it. The rugby club and its partner | :19:48. | :19:54. | |
in this promotion will hope for a financial windfall, went up to 5,000 | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
fans come to these grounds tomorrow. On a day when sports and country | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
singing will play in harmony. Next to North Carolina and | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
the second round of the US Open. Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
were well placed up Stephen Watson is watching | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
today's play. Thank you. Like the entire US Open, | :20:18. | :20:30. | |
they have lots of work to do if they are to catch the runaway leader from | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
Germany. He now leads this tournament by seven shots. Graeme | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
McDowell is in second place. He has just teed off alongside Rory McIlroy | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
was up they are hoping for big performances today. He has obviously | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
gone out there in the afternoon and played incredibly well and continued | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
that this morning. Just have to ignore what he is doing. I'd have to | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
focus on my game plan this afternoon and try to play well. Hopefully take | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
a few opportunities and stay hanging around for the weekend. There is a | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
lot of golf to play. This course is going to get harder and harder. You | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
cannot go pushing. I have to go on and play as well as they can. The | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
temperature is starting to get really hot again this afternoon, so | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
it is a case of trying to be patient. There was a little bit of | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
overnight rain again. The heat is getting up there. The green will | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
start to dry out. You have just got to be smart. There are some chances | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
out there but you have to be smart the rest of the time. Even though I | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
am going to start behind the lead, even though you are trying to get | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
closer, you have to stay patient, because if you start being too | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
aggressive on this course you could lose your way very quickly, and pars | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
are good around here, the odd birdie here and there, and it will be right | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
there for the weekend. It is a case of looking at the second place man. | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
Exactly. Martin seems to be playing really well for the just continued | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
from what he did yesterday. I'm it what it is like to be in that | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
position. It is a good place to be. He is playing really solid and | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
handling it well. There is still a lot of golf left in a lot of things | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
can happen. Unfortunately, it looks like Darren Clarke will miss the | :22:24. | :22:24. | |
halfway cut. Just a few weeks ago | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
a serious leg injury threatened to end Conor McManus's season, | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
but Monaghan's Gaelic Football captain has gone to extraordinary | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
lengths to get back to fitness for this Sundays Ulster championship | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
quarter final against Tyrone. It has been sporting life in the | :22:37. | :22:49. | |
shadows. Conventional medicine, lotions, potions and prayer. He has | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
tried the lot and all for the love of his County. As I understand it, | :22:54. | :23:02. | |
Faith healer, herbalist, cryogenic chamber, ice baths, what else? | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
Whenever you get an injury and you are given a deadline you try | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
anything. Did the herbalist give you a cocktail of potions? Yes. It is no | :23:15. | :23:26. | |
secret. A lot of people have good faith in it so I'd thought it was | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
worth a shot. What did it his flock -- like? Not very good. What is a | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
faith healer do? It is a pair and a charm and all of that. It is hard to | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
gauge what these things will do for you. It certainly does no harm. It | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
is some length to go to just to grapple with Tyrone again. This is | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
McManus! But the torn ligament is healing ahead of schedule, and that | :23:57. | :23:57. | |
is all that matters. There was a surprise announcement | :23:58. | :24:09. | |
today from the Belfast Giants with the news that General Manager | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
Todd Kelman is leaving. He has been with the team since | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
its creation but is now part of a consortium taking over another Elite | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
League side, the Cardiff Devils. For the last 14 years as a player | :24:19. | :24:32. | |
and then general manager, Todd Kalman established himself as a | :24:33. | :24:39. | |
Mister Belfast Giants. But today, he announced a giant step in a | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
different direction. I'd love Belfast. No bones about it. I love | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
this place, I have in the general manager for seven years. It is my | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
home, it is where my child was born. It is my own choice. It is for the | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
opportunity icy. Champagne on ice has been a recurring theme here. He | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
leads former team-mate Steve Thornton the new Giants coach the | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
leads former team-mate Steve task of continuing the success and | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
leads former team-mate Steve proudest thing is what we did for | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
leads former team-mate Steve the city. We came in at | :25:14. | :25:15. | |
leads former team-mate Steve around him and I feel that we are | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
leads former team-mate Steve ingrained in the culture here and it | :25:21. | :25:21. | |
is a consistent ingrained in the culture here and it | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
organisation has been a success. The Giants retired shirt number 44 last | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
season and rep -- recognition of his clergy | :25:34. | :25:33. | |
always have a part in the history of the Giants. | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
Finally as Ireland prepare for tomorrow's Second Test | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
against Argentina, there was sad news in the sport of rugby today | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
with the announcement that Jimmy Nelson has died at the age of 92. | :25:45. | :25:47. | |
Jimmy played in the legendary 1948 Grand Slam-winning Ireland side. | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
He also served as IRFU president as well as giving years | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
Let's get the latest on the weather. We have had rain around through the | :25:54. | :26:05. | |
day today, but as we go into this evening, any remaining showers will | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
fizzle out. What we are left with is a warm and muggy night. All of that | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
cloud cover means that temperatures tonight will stay around 13 or 14 | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
degrees at their lowest. It might be a bit difficult to get off to sleep | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
tonight with all of this mild conditions. Heading into the | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
weekend, cloudy and mild is the story, and staying mostly dry. Have | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
a few showers in the forecast as we go through the morning tomorrow, but | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
they are very few and far between and will fizzle out quite quickly. | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
For most people most of the time, Saturday is going to be dry. What | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
the are not quite to see is a lots of sunshine. We have some high cloud | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
sitting above us and that will mean that it is a slightly more told beta | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
and we would have hoped for, with temperatures like 18 or 19 degrees | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
the highest on Saturday. A perfectly usable day. It is all down to this | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
high pressure system which has become established in the west of | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
Ireland, giving us a lots of protection over the next few days, | :27:10. | :27:12. | |
really settles down our weather, and as we head into the weekend, | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
cloudy, mild conditions, but pretty good, actually. By Sunday, we will | :27:18. | :27:22. | |
see a bit more in the way of brightness. That is going to be | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
reflected in the temperatures. 18, 19 degrees on and if anything, | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
Monday is going to be even better, just look at this. Those | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
temperatures up to 20, 20 1 degrees. Thanks to the high-pressure, we have | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
some very settled conditions to look out for the next few days. What ever | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
you are planning with your weekend, have a great one. | :27:45. | :27:50. |
