:05:13. > :05:19.was happening, it was complete confusion. We are Alex's -- our son
:05:20. > :05:26.is severely autistic and doesn't understand situations like this. We
:05:27. > :05:32.were asked if we could take his wheelchair. We were told -- we asked

:05:34. > :05:44.absolutely not. We have been wheelchair and we were told
:05:45. > :05:48.the police that the suspicious object was found by a car not far
:05:49. > :05:52.from here. The family were at home at the time and were asked to leave
:05:53. > :05:58.at about 7am. Army bomb experts were called to the scene and a controlled
:05:59. > :06:01.explosion was carried out. The police described the device as
:06:02. > :06:07.viable and say it could have caused serious injury or worse. Clearly the
:06:08. > :06:09.family are in shock, they are traumatised. The rest of the
:06:10. > :06:12.community were disrupted this morning and they are also
:06:13. > :06:17.traumatised and fearful. The device was viable. The Army technical
:06:18. > :06:23.officer confirmed that it could have functioned. Any device like that is
:06:24. > :06:27.capable of causing serious injury. To put a device outside someone's
:06:28. > :06:32.door and disrupt their whole family, scaring the children, there is no
:06:33. > :06:36.necessity whatsoever. The police say there is no clear motivation for the

:07:30. > :07:35.row. Importantly, it suggests experts have been a key part of that
:07:36. > :07:38.growth. One of the risks associated with the current economic recovery
:07:39. > :07:43.has been that it has been very consumer oriented. In that nature it
:07:44. > :07:47.has been unbalanced. We need to balance that recovery with an
:07:48. > :07:50.increase in trade and export. That is one of the very encouraging
:07:51. > :07:55.aspect that has come out of this survey. We suffered a longer lasting
:07:56. > :08:01.recession than other parts of the UK. These good growth figures
:08:02. > :08:04.contain an element of catching up. Some more new research out today
:08:05. > :08:10.reminds us just how much catching up we still have to do. The report from
:08:11. > :08:16.the Institute for fiscal studies says that by one measure, the
:08:17. > :08:20.typical UK households saw its income fall by 4% during the recession.
:08:21. > :08:27.East Midlands did best with a fall of just 2%. But we came off worst
:08:28. > :08:32.with a drop of 8%. The report found that contributed to a rise in
:08:33. > :08:51.poverty. There are more charges to come on bad fronts. Approximately
:08:52. > :08:56.740 million will be -- will feel an impact. Whenever Stormont decides on
:08:57. > :08:59.welfare reform, it is likely to have less to spend on public services in
:09:00. > :09:02.the next few years. That is going to be a major economic challenge.
:09:03. > :09:06.Returning to that report on incomes and living standards what are
:09:07. > :09:17.The big thing is that it shows he was hardest hit in the recession. It
:09:18. > :09:21.is young people, people in their 20s were the biggest economic losers.
:09:22. > :09:27.The older you were, the less likely you were to lose out. Gave us an
:09:28. > :09:32.example of that. Employment has been a big problem but this report also
:09:33. > :09:34.looked at earnings. It shows that during a recession people in their
:09:35. > :09:40.20s than we saw their incomes falling by 13%. That is a really big
:09:41. > :09:49.drop. Eagle in the 30s and 40s also saw a drop in incomes, but not quite
:09:50. > :10:00.so dramatic. -- people in their 20s -- 30s and 40s. A big part of this
:10:01. > :10:04.is a political choice. When the coalition government came in, in
:10:05. > :10:08.Westminster, they decided to protect pension benefits. The state pension
:10:09. > :10:13.has risen in line with inflation and that has protected those
:10:14. > :10:17.pensioners. There is a lesson in this, older people are more likely
:10:18. > :10:18.to vote is that politicians are unlikely to look after their

:19:15. > :19:19.at home, he is confident of mounting another major challenge. Despite a
:19:20. > :19:24.recent trend of being a little inconsistent. Honestly, I feel like
:19:25. > :19:29.my game is in good shape. If I can string for rounds together it would
:19:30. > :19:34.be helpful. I feel like I'm playing well for three or three and half
:19:35. > :19:39.rounds these days. Having the ability to shoot these numbers is
:19:40. > :19:45.great. It's just a matter of limiting the damage if I get on
:19:46. > :19:49.these bad runs. Honing your skills back home in Northern Ireland must
:19:50. > :19:54.help? It has been great to spend some time back home. Working with
:19:55. > :19:59.Michael and going back down to anger like I did when I was 12 years old.
:20:00. > :20:05.Getting back to that has been fantastic. It's great to go home and
:20:06. > :20:12.I'm looking forward to spending more time there. Has been getting back to

:20:24. > :20:28.been great, I really enjoy it. It's good to catch up with all my friends
:20:29. > :20:35.and family. Definitely trying to get back more often. What would it mean
:20:36. > :20:41.to win? It would mean a lot. It would be my third major, obviously,
:20:42. > :20:48.and is it has felt like a big time since I won the last. I suppose it
:20:49. > :20:52.would be three likes of the Grand Slam which is very important to me.
:20:53. > :20:57.A lot of players in this game have won the four major championship. If
:20:58. > :21:05.I could get closer to that this week it would be huge. Is a big week here
:21:06. > :21:09.for Michael Hoey. He is playing his third Open Championship and is
:21:10. > :21:14.enjoying rubbing shoulders with some of the sport's biggest stars. It's a
:21:15. > :21:19.big turn and as I'm really looking forward to it. It's a great
:21:20. > :21:23.atmosphere. Taggart was in front of me when I was practising this
:21:24. > :21:32.morning. I'm right in the middle of some good players. It's a great

:21:41. > :21:45.ceremony of the Commonwealth games is just eight days away. As we
:21:46. > :21:49.continue our countdown to Glasgow 2014, tonight we go poolside to
:21:50. > :21:54.assess the hopes and aspirations of Northern Ireland's swimming team. A
:21:55. > :22:05.young line-up led by a rising star in the sport. She later debut as a
:22:06. > :22:08.15 old. Since then she has one medals in the championships and
:22:09. > :22:12.competed at the London Olympics. I'm really lucky to have all that
:22:13. > :22:15.experience under my belt. I have been to the Commonwealth Games in
:22:16. > :22:20.Delhi and that was a huge learning curve. London even more so. I feel
:22:21. > :22:26.like I have come a long way since four years ago. So much has happened
:22:27. > :22:30.since. I feel like this is the time to really break through and I have
:22:31. > :22:35.done a lot of work. I'm feeling very confident. Hopefully things will go
:22:36. > :22:40.my way. Northern Ireland will send ten swimmers to Glasgow. It is a
:22:41. > :22:44.young, developing squad. I feel like I know what they're feeling and how
:22:45. > :22:48.they are looking forward the games. It is an exciting time for everyone.
:22:49. > :22:49.There are ten of us going for swimming. It's really exciting and
:22:50. > :22:54.I'm sure the younger ones will have swimming. It's really exciting and
:22:55. > :22:59.a great time. One of those younger ones is 14 euros Rachel from Les
:23:00. > :23:07.Burn. She is the youngest member of the Northern Ireland team. That will
:23:08. > :23:10.set me up well for hopefully a long swimming career. I love swimming

:24:20. > :24:26.That it from me. I will be back tomorrow. Nice and sunny there in
:24:27. > :24:32.Liverpool. Let's look at the weather.
:24:33. > :24:41.If it rains today, it's supposed to rain for the next 40 days and 40
:24:42. > :24:46.night. There is no real meteorological facts based on that
:24:47. > :24:51.but what often happens this time of year is that the weather gets into a
:24:52. > :24:55.pattern. If it is unsettled around this time, it is likely to remain
:24:56. > :24:59.that way. The rain had stayed away so far. It is coming into night,
:25:00. > :25:04.with rain bearing clouds sitting in the West. That is hitting the west
:25:05. > :25:09.coast of Ireland as we speak. Dry weather to come this evening and the
:25:10. > :25:15.cloud breaking out. It will be nice at the City Hall if you are heading
:25:16. > :25:18.to an event. We had cloudy skies today with temperatures hitting the
:25:19. > :25:23.low 20s. Some warm weather around initially this evening. The cloud
:25:24. > :25:27.and rain will sicken and slowly extend across to the east. Because
:25:28. > :25:34.of that cloud, the increased winds, some heavy bursts of rain around me
:25:35. > :25:38.a warm night. It will feel more she made over the next few days with
:25:39. > :25:42.temperatures gradually rising. Tomorrow we'll have sent down and
:25:43. > :25:48.dull weather to begin with, but that should move away through the
:25:49. > :25:51.morning. There will be dry weather for a time. Eventually we will see
:25:52. > :25:56.some showers develop tomorrow afternoon, but they may take their
:25:57. > :26:02.time. Few and far between with a lot of places dry and warm. Temperatures
:26:03. > :26:05.around 19 or 20. Perhaps higher across the south-east. More of a
:26:06. > :26:11.breeze to come compare today. There will be slightly -- it will be
:26:12. > :26:14.slightly more timid. We will see some sharp showers develop through
:26:15. > :26:18.the second half of the afternoon and into tomorrow evening. There will be
:26:19. > :26:21.sunshine in between and tomorrow night a lot of those showers will
:26:22. > :26:26.gradually either way. Wings are looking pretty good for Thursday, a
:26:27. > :26:30.warm day to come. More or less shower free for most of us. Sunshine
:26:31. > :26:36.in many places with light winds. It will feel very warm. I think we will
:26:37. > :26:41.see 23 or even 24 degrees before the end the day. . Thursday is looking
:26:42. > :26:45.like the sunscreen day. Friday is still warm but there is a laundry
:26:46. > :26:49.rain coming up in the south. There will be some wet weather, especially
:26:50. > :26:53.through Friday afternoon. That is all down to this area of low
:26:54. > :26:58.pressure. It should move away from us, so improving for the weekend. If
:26:59. > :27:02.you are heading across the water, there is a rain warning out and will
:27:03. > :27:07.be heavy rain across some areas. Some warm sunshine to come Thursday.
:27:08. > :27:10.Some understory is possible on Friday, and more subtle on Saturday.
