:00:14. > :00:16.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline.

:00:17. > :00:20.Flawed, but not unlawful and not an amnesty - Lady Justice Hallett's

:00:21. > :00:27.At Stormont - both the DUP and Sinn Fein find reasons to take heart from

:00:28. > :00:34.But here at Westminster some doubt the Government's claim

:00:35. > :00:37.that it can now remove barriers to future prosecutions.

:00:38. > :01:02.Refunds begin for the Garth Brooks concert, but not everyone is happy.

:01:03. > :01:10.We have to wait 21 days to get our money back. Ridiculous.

:01:11. > :01:13.On the first day of the Open, Rory McIlroy goes to the top of

:01:14. > :01:17.And the warm weather continues tonight

:01:18. > :01:20.but we can expect some thundery showers over the next day or two.

:01:21. > :01:30.I'll have more weather for you later in the programme.

:01:31. > :01:35.Five months ago it emerged that letters had been sent to more than

:01:36. > :01:38.200 Republicans who were on the run - telling them they were

:01:39. > :01:44.It was news that almost brought down the Assembly when the First Minister

:01:45. > :01:51.Today a judge who was investigating why and how the scheme was run

:01:52. > :01:57.And this is what Lady Justice Hallett had to say in her report.

:01:58. > :02:01.She found that the letters did not amount to an amnesty.

:02:02. > :02:05.Her report however did say that the scheme was flawed but not unlawful.

:02:06. > :02:07.And Lady Justice Hallet also highlighted that

:02:08. > :02:10.the process operated below the radar - but was not secret.

:02:11. > :02:15.We?ll have political reaction from both Westminster and Stormont

:02:16. > :02:18.and we'll hear from a woman whose uncle was killed by IRA.

:02:19. > :02:21.But first our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney has

:02:22. > :02:40.The IRA brought carnage to the streets of London. Four soldiers

:02:41. > :02:43.from the household care were killed when a large bomb exploded as they

:02:44. > :02:50.passed Hyde Park. Seven horses also died. 20 Three Anthony Daly was one

:02:51. > :02:55.of the soldier is killed. His brother today recalled hearing the

:02:56. > :03:04.news. Complete disbelief and then shock and sadness. My mother was

:03:05. > :03:08.waiting for my brother at -- and when he did not arrive she knew

:03:09. > :03:13.something drastic had gone on. They were very eager to call me before I

:03:14. > :03:19.saw it on the news. I heard the news on the telephone. Last

:03:20. > :03:21.detectives hunting the killers arrested one

:03:22. > :03:24.detectives hunting the killers involved. John Downey produced a

:03:25. > :03:30.letter his lawyers say was a legally binding insurance that he was not

:03:31. > :03:35.wanted by police for any offence. A judge ruled that he could not stand

:03:36. > :03:38.trial. What started as a story about the collapse of the trial soon

:03:39. > :03:43.became a story about the possible collapse of the storm of Assembly. I

:03:44. > :03:47.am not prepared to be the head of the governments that was kept in the

:03:48. > :03:53.dark in this way. I was there to be full disclosure, for the people to

:03:54. > :03:57.know what has gone on. Lady Justice Hallett was appointed to conduct a

:03:58. > :04:02.review that involved Republicans being told they were not wanted by

:04:03. > :04:05.the police. In her report, she said the scheme is unprecedented and

:04:06. > :04:11.flawed but was not unlawful and did not give terrorist suspects an

:04:12. > :04:14.amnesty. That point was reinforced by the Secretary of State in the

:04:15. > :04:18.House of Commons. I repeat again today to the people

:04:19. > :04:22.holding these letters, they will not protect you from arrest or

:04:23. > :04:27.prosecution. Should the police succeed in gathering sufficient

:04:28. > :04:30.evidence, you will be subject to due process of law.

:04:31. > :04:35.The judge also rejects allegations that the scheme at a secret deal.

:04:36. > :04:38.Reports say the scheme was kept below the radar duty with little

:04:39. > :04:43.sensitivity, but it would be wrong to characterise it as secrets. The

:04:44. > :04:46.report says dozens of police officers, prison officers and

:04:47. > :04:51.politicians must have known that some kind of scheme was operating.

:04:52. > :04:56.It adds that an interested party had kept a close eye on developments in

:04:57. > :04:58.Westminster and the press, they may have appreciated that there was some

:04:59. > :05:02.kind of scheme is not the precise details.

:05:03. > :05:07.John Downey's trial collapsed because he was wrongly told he was

:05:08. > :05:11.not wanted by the police. The report says the PSNI was to blame for that

:05:12. > :05:14.mistake and for not rectifying it when it later became aware that he

:05:15. > :05:18.was wanted in connection -- in connection with the Hyde Park

:05:19. > :05:22.bombing. The judge says nothing in law or logic explains these

:05:23. > :05:26.dealings. There is no logical explanation. It

:05:27. > :05:31.was a catastrophic error, that is how Justice Sweeney described it. It

:05:32. > :05:34.was unacceptable and we have put measures in place to ensure that the

:05:35. > :05:39.review mechanisms have the right degree of professionalism required

:05:40. > :05:44.to prevent this happening again. Report said that at least two other

:05:45. > :05:48.letters were sent by mistake. The PSNI is reviewing all other letters

:05:49. > :05:53.sent to check if there were other mistakes. That process is expected

:05:54. > :05:58.to take a number of years. While Lady Justice Hallett said clearly

:05:59. > :06:02.that the scheme was not unlawful, she does not offer a view on whether

:06:03. > :06:04.the letters sent should now be rescinded. She said that decision

:06:05. > :06:06.should be taken by the Secretary of State.

:06:07. > :06:08.Shelly Gilfillan's uncle Lexie Cummings was murdered

:06:09. > :06:13.A man suspected of involvement received one of the letters saying

:06:14. > :06:24.I spoke to her just before we came on air and asked her

:06:25. > :06:39.You said he welcomed the report earlier but had a change of heart.

:06:40. > :06:49.Can you hear me? We understand that you welcomed the report earlier but

:06:50. > :06:56.have had a change of heart. Yes. Why was that change of heart? We will

:06:57. > :07:03.try to come back to that interview later. It was the political

:07:04. > :07:06.institutions at Stormont as Peter Robinson threatened to bring down.

:07:07. > :07:11.Our political editor is there for us this evening. One Stormont

:07:12. > :07:18.politician describes the halogen reports to me as a curate 's egg. It

:07:19. > :07:21.was a lengthy reports with differing conclusions. That gave the different

:07:22. > :07:27.parties different aspects from which to take some satisfaction. Back in

:07:28. > :07:31.February, he threatened to resign if a judge was not appointed to get to

:07:32. > :07:34.the bottom of the on-the-runs scandal. Now the judge's report is

:07:35. > :07:40.complete, is Peter Robinson satisfied? There is a heavy

:07:41. > :07:46.criticism of the Northern Ireland office, for the systemic failures. I

:07:47. > :07:51.conclude, very readily, from my point of view, that this scheme was

:07:52. > :07:57.wrong in principle and shambolic in practice. Both unionist leaders

:07:58. > :08:00.claimed that the report confirms their review that the on-the-runs

:08:01. > :08:04.scheme was a grubby and clandestine manoeuvres by the government. Sinn

:08:05. > :08:11.Fein point out that the judge concluded the scheme was neither

:08:12. > :08:14.secret nor unlawful. Lady Justice Hallett said the scheme was very

:08:15. > :08:20.lawful, Donna through the process of the British Attorney General and the

:08:21. > :08:28.bps. Far from it being secrets, she also noted that Sinn Fein have

:08:29. > :08:32.pushed for a public manifestation of dealing with the issue of

:08:33. > :08:36.on-the-runs that was raised on a continual basis. Both main Unionist

:08:37. > :08:40.parties insisted that they would not negotiate about the legacy of the

:08:41. > :08:44.Troubles until after the report was published. Since then, they have

:08:45. > :08:48.both walked out of interparty talks over the parading issue. Even though

:08:49. > :08:50.we have this report, it's not clear by any means which way the political

:08:51. > :08:55.process will go in the coming by any means which way the political

:08:56. > :08:57.and months. Whatever happens from the select committee reports,

:08:58. > :09:01.and months. Whatever happens from is still a possibility --

:09:02. > :09:05.responsibility to deal with the three key outstanding issues. We

:09:06. > :09:08.cannot move forward unless we resolve issues dealing with flags

:09:09. > :09:10.and parades, and most particularly dealing with issues of the past.

:09:11. > :09:14.and parades, and most particularly Until we do that, we will not be in

:09:15. > :09:16.a position to take this society forward.

:09:17. > :09:19.a position to take this society Alliance and the Nationalists want

:09:20. > :09:23.interparty talks to resume as soon as possible, but Peter Robinson says

:09:24. > :09:26.that if negotiations ever recommence,

:09:27. > :09:30.attempt to browbeat unit into accepting the Haass proposals they

:09:31. > :09:32.have already rejected. Did Peter Robinson get all that he

:09:33. > :09:37.wanted? Not quite. When he called for this

:09:38. > :09:42.enquiry, he talks about the names being made public. We do have a list

:09:43. > :09:46.at the back of this report, but it is a list of acronyms and numbers,

:09:47. > :09:50.not names. The reason the government is giving for that is that it's

:09:51. > :09:54.could potentially prejudice future proceedings, if they were to be

:09:55. > :09:59.taken against any of those people. He has not got that but he has got a

:10:00. > :10:02.report which, I suppose, helped to assuage some of the immediate anger

:10:03. > :10:05.on the part of the Unionist community and on the part of victims

:10:06. > :10:11.at the time that the Downey case broke. That gave a sense that

:10:12. > :10:13.something was being done and took us past the European and local

:10:14. > :10:19.elections now into a situation in which things have calmed. Where do

:10:20. > :10:23.we go from here? I think the focus will be on what the Secretary of

:10:24. > :10:26.State does in terms of her promise that she will ensure that the

:10:27. > :10:30.barrier to prosecution, which was obviously what created the problem

:10:31. > :10:34.in the Downey case, because he lived in Devon at N error, that any

:10:35. > :10:38.barriers to prosecution will be taken down. Does that mean she

:10:39. > :10:42.formally presented these latter is? She will not say that because she

:10:43. > :10:46.says she is taking legal bias. Unionists will still want some

:10:47. > :10:50.assurance on that score. What progress has served? I think at

:10:51. > :10:54.least it has shown that there has been a response the system. Some

:10:55. > :10:58.victims that we have heard from, for instance, the relatives of some of

:10:59. > :11:02.those killed on my part, say they believe that victims concerns are

:11:03. > :11:06.now being taken more seriously than they were at the time that this

:11:07. > :11:12.scheme is operating. On a political level, at least it's helped us have

:11:13. > :11:15.those elections and put the Unionist leadership little bit more in the

:11:16. > :11:20.driving seat. Now they're asking for a different enquiry, this time the

:11:21. > :11:25.parading issue. Thank you. Let's get political reaction from London. The

:11:26. > :11:30.Secretary of State admitted that this is a difficult day for hire?

:11:31. > :11:33.No politician likes saying sorry, but it is a word that trees are

:11:34. > :11:37.bilious found herself using a lot today. She says she was profoundly

:11:38. > :11:39.sorry to the victims of terrorism for the hurt that she said this

:11:40. > :11:46.whole on-the-runs episode has caused Bam. She was also sorry to Peter

:11:47. > :11:49.Robinson and the Justice Minister David Ford for not informing him

:11:50. > :11:55.about the scheme beforehand. As Mark was saying, perhaps to offset some

:11:56. > :11:59.of this, she was promising that the government will do all it can to

:12:00. > :12:03.remove any barriers to future prosecutions, but not everyone at

:12:04. > :12:06.Westminster is convinced. Here is the conservative Lawrence Robson,

:12:07. > :12:10.who chairs the Northern Ireland affairs committee, which is carrying

:12:11. > :12:13.out its own enquiry into what happens.

:12:14. > :12:17.If we go into the reports, below the headlines, if you look at the

:12:18. > :12:22.detail, Lady Justice Hallett did say that she does not know what that

:12:23. > :12:27.means, the new evidence. She also said that whether it would bring

:12:28. > :12:31.about new circumstances. Literally quite worrying, and that is the

:12:32. > :12:36.point I raised this afternoon. Where do we go from here? It is a legal

:12:37. > :12:39.matter. Another member of that Northern

:12:40. > :12:45.Ireland affairs committee is the Northern Ireland 's born Labour MP,

:12:46. > :12:48.Kate Howie. She says that far from the plane being put on the police

:12:49. > :12:52.what happened in the John Downey case, the real blame lies with the

:12:53. > :12:57.former prime minister and her former party leader, Tony Blair.

:12:58. > :13:00.The real blame have to lie at the hands of the Northern Ireland

:13:01. > :13:05.office. They seem to have been almost inconstant in what they have

:13:06. > :13:09.done. And, of course, write to the top in terms of the former prime

:13:10. > :13:14.Minister, Tony Blair. He is the one that the evidence we are seeing, he

:13:15. > :13:17.is the one that is actually, was writing letters, telling the police

:13:18. > :13:21.and the Northern Ireland office to speed things up.

:13:22. > :13:25.Does the committee intend to speak to Tony Blair?

:13:26. > :13:28.It certainly does. It has been in touch with him on a number of

:13:29. > :13:34.occasions. So far they have been unable to arrange a date. That

:13:35. > :13:38.appearance by Tony Blair in front of the committee, they say, will

:13:39. > :13:43.happen. Before that, Jonathan Powell, the prime Minister's former

:13:44. > :13:46.chief of staff, will appear before the committee in September.

:13:47. > :13:55.Thank you. We return to Shelly Gilfillan, whose

:13:56. > :14:01.relatives was murdered by the IRA in Strabane.

:14:02. > :14:07.We were wanting to know your reaction to today's report?

:14:08. > :14:11.I'm very disappointed. I'm disappointed that the victims have

:14:12. > :14:19.not been given something, to give a little hope to perhaps put some

:14:20. > :14:26.closure into these murders. What do you hope happens next?

:14:27. > :14:34.I do not know. No one seems to know what will happen next. Would you

:14:35. > :14:39.like to see the latter rescinded? Absolutely, the letters should be

:14:40. > :14:41.rescinded. Absolutely. What about your feelings when the

:14:42. > :14:46.on-the-runs letters first came to light? What effect that having your

:14:47. > :14:52.family? On all the victims, in and around

:14:53. > :14:58.castle dirt, we were all totally devastated. I found it very hard to

:14:59. > :15:03.take in that Tony Blair had actually done this dirty deeds behind backs

:15:04. > :15:09.and under tables. We were all very devastated.

:15:10. > :15:19.Thank you. Apologies for the sound problems earlier.

:15:20. > :15:22.Coming up, diet and breakfast owners are being targeted in what they

:15:23. > :15:27.believe is an international down. It's wretches all the way from here

:15:28. > :15:33.in the grounds of Antrim to Nigeria in West Africa.

:15:34. > :15:36.A leading MP says the Kincora case should be included in a UK

:15:37. > :15:39.government inquiry into child abuse - and an expert from Northern

:15:40. > :15:42.Keith Vaz, chair of Westminster's Home Affairs Committee,

:15:43. > :15:45.said allegations of a cover-up at the Belfast children's home were

:15:46. > :15:59.I think it needs settling. It has been around for so long, caused so

:16:00. > :16:02.much concern to individual MPs from Northern Ireland that we need to,

:16:03. > :16:08.once and for all, deal with this problem. We need a big enquiry such

:16:09. > :16:11.as the one that Theresa May has been -- has suggested, it is important

:16:12. > :16:14.that someone from Northern Ireland sits on the panel of experts.

:16:15. > :16:16.People running tourist accommodation are being targeted in what they

:16:17. > :16:19.believe is an international scam that stretches from here to Nigeria

:16:20. > :16:22.They're being warned not to send money abroad.

:16:23. > :16:30.Our investigations reporter Kevin Magee has more.

:16:31. > :16:37.The owners of this B in County Antrim are used to receiving

:16:38. > :16:42.bookings by e-mail. But not like the one that recently arrived from a

:16:43. > :16:45.couple calling themselves Mr and Mrs Anderson. Because of the way it was

:16:46. > :16:48.written, the owner became suspicious.

:16:49. > :16:55.I told them I had no availability for that week, so they asked if they

:16:56. > :16:58.could have a different dates. I thought when they started to do

:16:59. > :17:02.that, there was something odd about it. I thought the e-mail was a lot

:17:03. > :17:06.anyway. TA Mel also contains what resembled

:17:07. > :17:09.a local phone number. The number given me look like a UK phone

:17:10. > :17:25.number, but here is what happens when I call it. The numbers you

:17:26. > :17:27.called is not responding. That recording mentions the currency in

:17:28. > :17:33.Nigeria. It actually links through to a Nigerian answering service. It

:17:34. > :17:39.the BNP was part of what is known as an overpayment down. B owner is

:17:40. > :17:41.asked to accept a Eurocheque for more than the cost of the building

:17:42. > :17:48.and sent back the difference from their own bank accounts.

:17:49. > :17:54.These checks unfortunately take more than 21 days to clear. It shows as a

:17:55. > :17:56.credit on your account but it is uncleared funds. You withdraw the

:17:57. > :18:01.money that is over and above your rental fee and you follow their

:18:02. > :18:05.instructions and send it back to wherever it is to go.

:18:06. > :18:08.The B partnership is urging caution.

:18:09. > :18:09.Please do not give out your credit card details to any of these

:18:10. > :18:14.e-mails, details.

:18:15. > :18:18.It is understood that the same scam was tried in another -- in a number

:18:19. > :18:20.of other countries before trying here.

:18:21. > :18:22.Final confirmation that the five Garth Brooks concerts

:18:23. > :18:25.in Dublin will not take place came today as ticket refunds began.

:18:26. > :18:27.400,000 people bought tickets but as Mark Simpson reports,

:18:28. > :18:36.it could take three weeks for everyone to get their money back.

:18:37. > :18:42.One by one, they came to give back their tickets and claimed refunds.

:18:43. > :18:47.For all Garth Brooks fans, it was a painful process. Including this

:18:48. > :18:52.family from North Belfast. We camped outside here for two days.

:18:53. > :18:58.family from North Belfast. You have to wait 21 days to get your

:18:59. > :19:02.money back, ridiculous. We have lost our coach fares for coming down

:19:03. > :19:05.here. I just think it's outrageous. One of the most successful music

:19:06. > :19:14.stars in the world, and not letting him play? Unbelievable. Bring him to

:19:15. > :19:16.Belfast. I would go up and have a singsong!

:19:17. > :19:21.Ticketmaster are giving full refunds including the service charge. After

:19:22. > :19:25.all five concerts quickly sold out, some fans got tickets on the black

:19:26. > :19:31.market or from an official website. For them, getting their money back

:19:32. > :19:33.may not be so straightforward. For some ticket holders, the Croke Park

:19:34. > :19:44.fiasco is not over yet. Coming up: We have an exclusive

:19:45. > :19:45.interview with bronze medal winner Alan Campbell. He has been dropped

:19:46. > :19:48.from the Great Britain squad. It's been a good opening day

:19:49. > :19:51.for Rory McIlroy at the Open at Hoylake - Stephen Watson is at

:19:52. > :20:06.Royal Liverpool for BBC Newsline. A lovely evening here, tarot.

:20:07. > :20:12.Earlier this week, Rory McIlroy told us that he hoped his preparation at

:20:13. > :20:18.home should set him up for a big challenge here this week. He has

:20:19. > :20:20.certainly delivered on his promise because he leads the Open

:20:21. > :20:25.Championship after a fabulous opening round of the six under par.

:20:26. > :20:33.His challenge tomorrow is to try and end a string of disappointing

:20:34. > :20:38.performances on the Friday -- delighted with his day's works, Rory

:20:39. > :20:43.McIlroy headed to the clubhouse after a memorable opening round. He

:20:44. > :20:46.had produced a near flawless exhibition of golf. Showing some of

:20:47. > :20:55.the forum that has already helped him captured two major

:20:56. > :21:00.championships. The Hollywood man has his eyes firmly fixed on another. He

:21:01. > :21:08.rolled in six effortless birdie -- birdie. Even when he found trouble,

:21:09. > :21:15.his magical touch did not let him down.

:21:16. > :21:19.Any time you can shoot a bogey free round in The Open, you have to take

:21:20. > :21:23.it. I'm really happy with that and it sets me up for a great week. You

:21:24. > :21:30.looked as if you are enjoying yourself?

:21:31. > :21:36.Yes. What is not to enjoy? Great weather, great golf course,

:21:37. > :21:39.fantastic crowd. You have to... I'm not going to play in this

:21:40. > :21:44.championship forever. You have to enjoy it while it lasts. Whenever

:21:45. > :21:48.you aren't shooting scores like that, it makes it even easier to

:21:49. > :21:51.enjoy. Second rounds this year have not

:21:52. > :21:54.been kind to you. I'm trying to approach tomorrow like

:21:55. > :22:00.I approach tomorrow like I approached. I'm just trying to take

:22:01. > :22:04.it one shot at a time. If I can do that, hopefully, that ends up adding

:22:05. > :22:07.up to a good number at the end of the day.

:22:08. > :22:15.Aaron Clark is six shots behind Rory McIlroy. -- Darren Clarke. Brain the

:22:16. > :22:22.door has work to do tomorrow after a disappointing brand of two over par.

:22:23. > :22:29.-- Graeme McDowell. He is eight shots behind Rory McIlroy. Michael

:22:30. > :22:32.Hoey is one shot further back. The Coleraine rower Alan Campbell

:22:33. > :22:36.will not compete in next month's world championship. The Olympic

:22:37. > :22:41.bronze medallist was devastated to learn that he had been dropped from

:22:42. > :22:44.the GB rowing team, for the first time in a decade. Now? Hang over his

:22:45. > :22:53.participation in the next Olympics in Rio. He has been speaking

:22:54. > :22:57.exclusively to us. Two years ago, the tears flowed when

:22:58. > :23:01.Alan Campbell clinched Olympic bronze medal in London. But his

:23:02. > :23:06.hopes of going to a fourth games in Rio have been dealt a serious blow

:23:07. > :23:12.when he was told, this week, that he had been dropped from the GB squad.

:23:13. > :23:19.I'm pretty devastated. The chief coach took me aside and said that my

:23:20. > :23:23.performance was not, did not meet criteria, was not good enough to be

:23:24. > :23:27.selected and, therefore, I would not be going to the world Championships.

:23:28. > :23:31.That sends a message to me that you have to do well at this race in

:23:32. > :23:36.order to be able to do that race. The races I want to do other

:23:37. > :23:45.Championships. Trying to qualify to go to the Olympic Games -- I'm

:23:46. > :23:49.trying. And then ultimately Rio. He knows his recent results have not

:23:50. > :23:54.been good enough, including failing to make the semifinals of last

:23:55. > :23:59.week's Lucerne World Cup. Now he has -- now faces the risk of having his

:24:00. > :24:04.funding cuts. It was just me, I would probably choose to live here

:24:05. > :24:10.at the club. I still have that ambition, that desire. But I have to

:24:11. > :24:13.consider other people in my decision-making. That would make it

:24:14. > :24:18.tough is funding was to be cut. It would make it incredibly tough for

:24:19. > :24:26.me to actually go, I will just keep going.

:24:27. > :24:32.But despite this setback, the dream of competing at another Olympics is

:24:33. > :24:35.not dead. I can come back from this -- if I can come back from this, I

:24:36. > :24:45.will give myself a really good chance of going forward to Rio. This

:24:46. > :24:47.decision shows the ruthlessness of sport at the highest level, but if

:24:48. > :24:58.they challenged he seems ready to accept.

:24:59. > :25:00.In tonight's Europa League football, Crusaders are 2-0 away to

:25:01. > :25:04.We'll have the fulltimes from that and Linfield's and Derry's

:25:05. > :25:22.That it's from The Open golf championship where Rory McIlroy

:25:23. > :25:26.bleeds. -- is in the lead. Here is the

:25:27. > :25:33.More warm weather over the next few days but more unsettled, with the

:25:34. > :25:38.risk of showers and underlining. It has been a warm day. Some people

:25:39. > :25:41.took advantage of the warm weather, this is Portstewart this lunch time.

:25:42. > :25:48.Not quite so busy outside, today, but I'm sure it was a beautiful art

:25:49. > :25:52.for a picnic. This evening, there is still some sunshine around. The best

:25:53. > :25:55.of it across the East. More cloud of the West but hopefully that should

:25:56. > :26:00.break up. Staying dry tonight and also fairly warm. Savage in Belfast

:26:01. > :26:06.tonight may not struck much lower than 15 degrees. We are expecting

:26:07. > :26:13.things to feel more human. More of a breeze picking up. There will be

:26:14. > :26:17.some showers. Not to begin with, some sunshine to start with. Showers

:26:18. > :26:22.moving up from the eve. Some will be on the heavy side and is the risk of

:26:23. > :26:25.undermining. It will not be raining all the time and will be sent dry

:26:26. > :26:29.gaps and sunshine at times. Because the air is warm, it means when the

:26:30. > :26:32.sun comes out territories will easily reach the low 20s,

:26:33. > :26:39.particularly across parts of the West. It was all humans despite

:26:40. > :26:45.breeze. Eventually, showers start to edge away. There should be some fine

:26:46. > :26:50.weather around tomorrow evening. A lot of places will become fairly dry

:26:51. > :26:52.tomorrow night. Very warm and misty with the risk of extensive sea fog

:26:53. > :26:57.across parts of the East Coast. with the risk of extensive sea fog

:26:58. > :27:03.Saturday, we are expecting intense thundery downpours. It could mean

:27:04. > :27:08.that there is some disruption to play, for instance, at the Open

:27:09. > :27:11.Championship. Things across Northern Ireland this weekend, not quite so

:27:12. > :27:22.bad with dry weather, warm weather but also some showers. Sunday will

:27:23. > :27:26.also bring some sharp showers, but a much smaller risk of thunder.

:27:27. > :27:30.Eventually things are settling down again on Monday.
