Condemnation of an arson attack on a Sinn Fein office which caused | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
An inquest hears that the drug caused the death of 20 people here | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
is principally in Northern Ireland problem. | :00:30. | :00:39. | |
A row has broken out here after the May or called on shops to consider | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
not selling any goods from Israel. The Belfast motor show rolled into | :00:46. | :00:48. | |
here this weekend, I will find out why some have branded the weekend a | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
disaster. Day 5 of the Commonwealth games, and | :00:52. | :00:52. | |
a second medal for Northern Ireland. And normal summer weather has | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
returned, I'll be looking ahead An inquest has been told that a drug | :00:56. | :01:20. | |
which caused the death of a man and 19 other people here is principally | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
a Northern Ireland problem. Deaths have been linked to bill is called | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Bean Rolex and speckled cherry. The drug and the mounting death | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
toll. 20 people have now died because of the drug like this. The | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
green Rolex. Connor was just one of them, just 20 years old. Today the | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
court heard more about the drug. The inquest was told that the drug | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
probably originated in the Netherlands and although it had been | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
seized in several other countries have had only caused deaths in | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
Northern Ireland and eight others in Hungary. A senior forensic scientist | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
said that the drugs are new and are often mistaken for ecstasy. She said | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
that potency of the drug can cause the body to overheat, organ failure | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
and death. Asked about the investigation into detective | :02:16. | :02:17. | |
inspector told the court that officers need help from the public | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
in catching those responsible for pushing these drugs. The coroner | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
said he hoped that the family would find comfort that this issue is now | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
on the mains of the Attorney General and other government departments. He | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
adds that the rising death toll was a matter of grave concern to him, | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
Northern Ireland society and the police. Mr Cochran's family were in | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
the court to hear the coroner recorded his death as poisoning by | :02:47. | :02:46. | |
drugs. A senior DUP politician has strongly | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
condemned the arson attack on Sinn Fein's main constituency office | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
in Londonderry. Gregory Campbell said it was | :02:53. | :02:53. | |
an attack on democracy and he linked Other political parties said there | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
can be no justification Sinn Fein said | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
the repair bill would run into thousands of pound but it would | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
not be deflected from its work. Here's our North-West reporter, | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
Keiron Tourish. The police say a window was broken | :03:09. | :03:22. | |
at the state of Sinn Fein's mean constituency office around half past | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
11 last night. Flammable liquid was poured inside before it was set | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
alight. The attack was captured on CCTV and appears to show at least | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
one headed man carrying out the attack. Damage to the press office | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
inside was expensive, although it was largely confined to one part of | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
the building. People came here with the general intention of doing | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
damage to our constituency office, people with an anti-Sinn Fein | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
agenda. Our message is very clear and simple, our constituency service | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
will continue. This is not the first time Sinn Fein offices have been | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
targeted like this, other political parties strongly condemned the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
attack. The mayor of the city said there could be no justification. I | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
totally condemn the attack, it has caused an awful lot of damage to the | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
buildings. Around ?10,000 worth of damage to computers, and it does not | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
matter who or what it was or what you represent in this city, violence | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
and intimidation have no place here. I would condemn it. Given that it | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
has happened to other parties, our party, the Alliance party, not just | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
Sinn Fein, it could if it is not eliminated and people do not give | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
the police to secure convictions, it could end up in a worrying cycle of | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
violence. The police had issued an appeal for information, we want to | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
hear from anyone who noticed any suspicious activity in or around the | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
Sinn Fein offices at 11:30pm last night to get in touch. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Unionists have called on the Sinn Fein Mayor of Newry and Mourne | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
Council to resign after he wrote to traders asking them to consider not | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
He also asked them to provide a list of produce they stocked from Israel. | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports from Newry. | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
Toys, nappies and clothes are being collected in the centre of new data | :05:28. | :05:34. | |
be sent to Gaza. This was once a Chinese restaurant, now it is a | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
collection point run by volunteers. The mere of newly is also active on | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
the issue, he has written to be tailored in the district -- in the | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
district including Marks Spencer. He wrote, I would request a list of | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
all product you stop from Israel or the occupied territories. He said it | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
was to provide customers with the ability to boycott Israeli products. | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
But he added that the letter is in no way intended to reduce trade in | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
your store. Unionist Sadie Meer had no right to send the letter. He must | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
come out and give a wholesome apology to the people of the | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
district and recognise that there is more than one opinion in this | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
district on the Middle East crisis. The fact that he has written to | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
significant employers in the district with this letter demanding | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
information on that kind of thing was a big mistake. I hope that the | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
retailers had it in the bin where it belongs. As for the man who wrote | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
the letter he said he has no regrets. None whatsoever. I | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
understand that some councillors believe that the letter was sent on | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
behalf of the Council, I thought it was clear that it was not. Some | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
councillors have expressed anger at the fact that they were associated | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
with that, if that is the case I apologise but I meant in no way to | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
associate any council about myself. But will you know is in no way to | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
associate any council about myself. But will you now rescind this | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
letter? Never, never, never. I have no intentions to rescind the letter. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
The letter was sent out last week. So far the Meer has received one | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
reply. Still to come on the programme, all | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
aboard for a tour of the billion pound warship which has been twinned | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
with Belfast. It was supposed to be | :07:21. | :07:29. | |
the dream event for car-lovers, but the Belfast Motor Show over | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
the weekend has led many people to brand the event a 'disaster' and now | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
some are demanding a refund. The Belfast motor show, and has been | :07:36. | :07:52. | |
advertised for months and at the weekend thousands of motor | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
enthusiasts turned up to see ranks of muscle cars, sports cars and | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
vintage cars. According to a reasonable number of people who | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
attended that is not what they found. Pictures taken by visitors on | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Saturday. There are cars but for some motor fans perhaps not enough | :08:06. | :08:14. | |
of them. And camera footage inside, a robot and lots and | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
of them. And camera footage inside, blue carpet. But for some, not many | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
actual cars. Andrew Smith took this Austin Allegro to the shore. If you | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
went to a regular classic car show that they run in village fete and | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
things like that you would see 200 cars. There was half that year. | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
There were some supercars but you could not get anywhere near them. We | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
made contact with the organisers of the Belfast motor show, they did not | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
want to appear on camera but they gave a statement saying that around | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
5000 people attended the event over the weekend and most of the people | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
who turned up seemed to be happy and think that the event was value for | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
money. The organisers also added that a small number of people were | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
unhappy and made comments on social media, the organisers say some of | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
those comments were abusive and threatening and that they were | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
reported to the police. Nearly 900 people have now liked | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
this Facebook page. The comments make difficult reading for the | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
organisers. One woman took her car to be sure. There were nails and | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
screws and pieces of metal and glass on the tarmac, evil are parking | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
their cars on top of it. It was ridiculous. She thinks people should | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
get refunds but not everyone felt cheated. I think it is unfair on the | :09:40. | :09:46. | |
organisers because there was a good range of displays, there was a good | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
range of activities there was a good range of activities therefore the | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
children. It was not a car show per se, but it was a new event, a | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
returning event, new organisers behind it. I think Belfast needs to | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
encourage and promote new event is coming to the area. Organisers say | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
they will take legal advice on giving out refunds, and they are | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
planning another, better motor show next year. | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
Anti-fracking protesters in Fermanagh have been reacting to | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
the government's announcement to open bidding for new shale gas | :10:17. | :10:18. | |
Companies applying to frack near National Parks, Areas of Outstanding | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
Natural Beauty and World Heritage Sites face tightened restrictions. | :10:23. | :10:39. | |
The government says I'm locking shale gas has the potential to | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
provide greater energy security, jobs and growth. One week ago this | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
man moved on the disc -- disused quarry and they want to drill to | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
take rock sandals. They say people have the right to know if the gas is | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
present. Outside the gates, people who fear this will lead to fracking. | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
After several demonstrations forced open a security fence, organisers | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
issued a code of conduct to try and ensure peaceful protest. The company | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
have been granted an injunction preventing protesters from accessing | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
the site and disrupting their own work. | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
the site and disrupting their own government will restrict fracking in | :11:29. | :11:28. | |
beauty spot, were taken restrictions near national parks. Local residents | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
say these rules should apply to Fermanagh. If you live in the Lake | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
District for Surrey and you want at any protective, but what about us | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
here? This is much more beautiful than some parts in England and yet | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
we have not protected that. Maybe our MLAs should be on the ball here. | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
Plans for a national park were rejected two years ago. The area is | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
designated as a global dual park. A dual part is a scheme supported by | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
UNESCO to promote geological areas of international significance. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
However, unlike a national park it has no legal status and offers no | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
protection under UK or Irish environmental legislation. The | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
Department of the environment says it is carrying out an environmental | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
impact and habitat assessment to determine if the tests drill can go | :12:26. | :12:26. | |
ahead. People here have been expressing | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
their sympathies for the families and victims | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
of three recent airline disasters. A Book of Condolence was opened this | :12:31. | :12:32. | |
morning at Belfast City Hall for people to pay their respects to | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
those who lost their lives The book will be available to sign | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
for the next few weeks, after which it will be passed | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
on to the Dutch Consul. I think people are moved by | :12:43. | :12:57. | |
situations and want to have the ability to sign a book to cancel and | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
to leave a comment for those people whose loved ones lost their lives. I | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
thought it was important to give the people of Belfast the opportunity to | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
sign a book of condolence and show sympathy and share condolences with | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
the families of those who lost their lives in the air disasters. | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
Engineers are still working to repair one | :13:24. | :13:24. | |
The Ravenhill Road was shut to traffic last week | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
after large holes or voids were discovered beneath the surface. | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
It's still not clear how long it will take to fix. | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
Louise Cullen has been watching the repair operation. | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
On the surface, drivers deal with the destruction of a closed road. | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
Underneath, this. Engineers captured these images after 1000 cubic feet | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
gap was discovered during sewer replacement works. About 65 metres | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
of type, Voight have formed. -- Voight have formed. The must all be | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
filled in, hence the road closure. The actual road we are standing on | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
is actually a reinforced concrete slab, so even if a ovoid or hall | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
opens underneath it this slab is holding the integrity of the road | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
together. We are fortunate we have a competent contractor and group | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
designer here we have come up with a solution to repair this. That | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
solution is pumping form concrete into the halls. The city's geology | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
means that this is not uncommon. I would describe the Belfast geology | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
as being like having a nice cross on top but it is soft underneath. If | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
you break the crust the spin sinks in. We have soft sands and when you | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
break the crust of that the material underneath is soft. The Victorian | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
paper is nearing the end of its life, so whatever turns up along the | :14:59. | :15:04. | |
way the server placement project is in everyone's interests. Commuters | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
will be hoping all of this is filled in before the schools go back in one | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
months time. Join me in Glasgow to see how | :15:09. | :15:10. | |
Northern Irelands athletes fared on The Royal Navy has a strong | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
recruiting tradition here, a third of the sailors in Nelson's fleet | :15:16. | :15:28. | |
at Trafalgar came from Ireland. And the latest warship, HMS Duncan, | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
has been attracting hundreds of visitors | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
on its first visit to Belfast, Our reporter Martin Cassidy was | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
aboard as she sailed into Belfast This is the new shape of Royal Navy | :15:36. | :15:55. | |
power, built in Glasgow and costing ?1 billion, the HMS Duncan is at the | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
cutting ?1 billion, the HMS Duncan is at the | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
one of six type ?1 billion, the HMS Duncan is at the | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
service. And this latest addition to the fleet has been twinned with | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
Belfast. Powered by Rolls-Royce engines, the Duncan has a battle | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
speed of 30 knots, and carries an array of missiles and guns. We are a | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
power station at sea, we produce enough power here to probably power | :16:23. | :16:29. | |
half of Belfast. The Fulton 's war underlined the importance of | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
tracking incoming aircraft, and Duncan is equipped with a radar | :16:33. | :16:34. | |
system Duncan is equipped with a radar | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
hundreds of miles. The Duncan Duncan is equipped with a radar | :16:40. | :16:44. | |
also be used to locate pilots and drug runners and submarines. And to | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
provide shamanic area aid after natural disasters. It is an | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
opportunity for the city of Belfast to meet its ship and for my sale of | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the meat Belfast. We are doing a number of events including opening | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
the ship to visitors at a demonstration to show some members | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
of the city what HMS Duncan does and what its capabilities are. Birthing | :17:08. | :17:08. | |
here for the first time, what its capabilities are. Birthing | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
Belfast sent out a pilot boat what its capabilities are. Birthing | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
help guide the Duncan to watch her moving. And as she births, there is | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
a warm welcome for the Duncan. To have this state-of-the-art destroyer | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
affiliated with Belfast is the and it means that we will have diplomats | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
around the world as this vessel to as the world and hit great | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
opportunities for Belfast from a is a point of view and for our | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
industries to show how we are up there with the high-tech industries | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
that are developing. There has been a big demand for tours of the ship, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
tickets were quickly snapped up. Local Sea cadets have had the chance | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
to ball board. The crew, meanwhile, have been getting to know the city. | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
Playing golf and soccer with football clubs as well as helping | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
with refurbishment work for the children's Hospice in Newtownabbey. | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
The Duncan seals again tomorrow morning around 11 a.m., and look at | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
the distinctive figure as she glides out of | :18:13. | :18:12. | |
It is Day 5 of the Commonwealth and with news of another medal | :18:13. | :18:19. | |
for Northern Ireland we can join Stephen Watson live in Glasgow. | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
It is now a silver and a bronze for Team NI. | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
There was success for the Lawn Bowling team today. | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
The men were playing in the final of the Triples against South Africa. | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
They put up a valiant effort but eventually lost out. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
Still delivered a super silver medal for Team NI led by the experienced | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Neil Booth, it is a 4th medal in 5 Commonwealth Games for him. | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
And a first for Neil Mullholland and for Paul Daly. | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
They all have another chance of going for gold in | :18:53. | :18:54. | |
I spoke to our silver medallists at Kelvingrove after their match. | :18:55. | :19:09. | |
From a 7-0 deficit in the last few games and we nearly doubled that | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
this morning but we dug in and had a chance to play up to three or four. | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
We narrowly missed it and that killed the game off but I am proud | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
of the guys, have a silver medal. You have done OK. I know you have | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
the full set of medals but for due to it is the first Commonwealth | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
Games medal. And elated. I am disappointed not to have the cold. | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
It has been a great performance from the guys. First games for you. First | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
medal. Fantastic! Couldn't ask for any better. The goals would be nice | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
but we are very proud. Not many people have this and I have one now. | :19:55. | :20:04. | |
It was too much at the end there. Balls now is Northern Ireland second | :20:05. | :20:07. | |
most successful sport in the history of the games with this 19th medal. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
The big money has brought most of them backed! Hopefully keep going in | :20:15. | :20:20. | |
the same vein. Just saying to the boys, this will be the last time | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
playing the game on a Monday morning. Well done to them. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
Our boxers delivered 5 medals at the last Commonwealth Games | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
and could be on course to better that tally here in Glasgow. | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
10 of the 11 strong squad are still in the competition with 7 | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
of them currently just fight away from securing a medal. | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
Walking out to represent your country. Representing Northern | :20:41. | :20:54. | |
Ireland! APPLAUSE | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
: Pick bronze medallist Conor knows what it takes to reach the podium. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
Today the Belfast bantamweight ranks number two in the world defeated his | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
Indian opponent to reach the last eight. I knew it was tough and he | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
showed today it was that kind of thing. I nearly got cut in my last | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
fight so I was worried about that. What is the buzz like among the | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Northern Irish boys? We are a tight-knit grip and staying | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
together. It is great. When someone wins the other one has the ring, it | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
is that pressure. One famous supporter knows all about tension, | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
and has been ringside throughout. We are good at boxing and always have | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
been. I know we have Paddy Byrne and he will cause a sensation. Last | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
night for Northern Ireland boxers moved one step closer to their | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
medal. The cite their way past African opposition. John McGlinchey | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
from Derry progressed past his Jamaican opponent, counting on the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
support around him, Sean Duffy made sure that the boxers are just one | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
win away from a medal. The support is amazing. I do not know when it | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
came from today honest. Scottish, English, Welsh, everyone is behind | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
us. There were even Malaysians behind us. It has been special. Some | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
medals would top it off. Paddy Barnes is currently | :22:36. | :22:38. | |
in the ring. Shooting has been a rich source | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
of medals at the Games. Veteran David Calvert is trying to | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
win a 9th medal in his 10th games. He's currently 7th in the | :22:51. | :22:53. | |
Individual Full Bore. But no success for yet for any of | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
his team mates on Day 5 for Team NI. A dramatic shoot out for a shot at a | :22:56. | :23:16. | |
medal. Sadly, Kirsty missed in the women's trap. And Gary Duffy about | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
out of the 15 metres prone rifle contest. But David Beattie is still | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
in the hunt for a place in the men's cup final. In the pool, 14-year-old | :23:29. | :23:37. | |
Daniel Hill's fine games continue, as she made it into her second | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
semifinal. I have not been well, so I am happy. To come forth it Lizzie | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
Simmonds, it is an amazing experience and I cant wait to race | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
again. Indy 200 metres women's experience and I cant wait to race | :23:52. | :24:05. | |
hopeful. I came here with high expectations but I will just get | :24:06. | :24:10. | |
back into training and look at how things will go from here. Things | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
have not gone to plan for our gymnasts. He has lost the rhythm! | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
But better in the athletics, her hammer thrower qualified for the | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
final. I can tell you that the netball | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
players have just beaten Saint Leger. | :24:32. | :24:32. | |
Michael Dunlop won the feature Race of Legends event at the Armoy road | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
races while Guy Martin was a double winner in North Antrim. | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
Martin finished ahead of William Dunlop and Keith Amor | :24:39. | :24:40. | |
in the Supersport race to secure his first-ever Armoy victory. | :24:41. | :24:42. | |
The Tyco TAS Suzuki rider then edged out Michael Dunlop by 0.8 seconds to | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
seal a start-to-finish success in the Open class. | :24:47. | :24:47. | |
Michael took the win in the final race of the day, finishing three | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
An ideal preparation for the Ulster Grand Prix in a couple of weeks. | :24:52. | :25:05. | |
The first time it was geeky and we were trying to a set, and I was | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
still a bit nervous there. But it is good for Ulster. It is all good. If | :25:13. | :25:23. | |
only road racing was a Commonwealth sports! Michael Dunlop would | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
undoubtedly be a gold medallist. That is all from Glasgow where I can | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
tell you that Paddy Barnes has won the first round. It is looking good. | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
Thank you. It is time for the weather. | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
It will not be a repeat of last week, unfortunately. Today has not | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
been too bad, it is quite warm especially across parts of the East. | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
The weather divides more or less into two. There will be drier | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
weather until about Wednesday, then we are likely to see it more | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
unsettled with heavy showers towards the end of the week. Temperatures | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
will be around average, which is 19 or 20 degrees. Certainly not a | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
repeat or a return to the mid or high 20s. We have had some sunshine, | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
with temperatures in the 20s across parts of the East. The rain is | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
making its presence felt across parts of the drivel and Fermanagh. | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
There will not be a lot of rain but there will be a sprinkle in the | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
garden is innate. Temperatures will be no lower than 13 or 14 degrees. | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
Tomorrow will be damp and dull, and most of the rain will be confined to | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
the far west as the morning goes on. We will not see as much sunshine as | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
we saw today but there could be some brightness from time to time, more | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
likely across Armagh. In the western model, fairly dry with spots of | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
rain, quite cloudy with temperatures and 17 or 18 degrees. More of a | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
breeze and so it will not feel as close as it did at times today. | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
Generally, a little bit cooler fuelling convert to today. A | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
reasonably dry day if you like, and then things turn more unsettled | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
tomorrow evening across the North and West. There will be showers | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
moving in on that list please. Wednesday is where the showers will | :27:21. | :27:24. | |
be, I weather initially in the south and then it will become more surely | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
in the north as the day goes on. That will mean heavy showers turning | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
up on Thursday and Friday. In the sunshine we should still see some of | :27:34. | :27:39. | |
it, and at least you will get out at some point during the week. | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
That is all for now. Enjoy your evening. | :27:43. | :27:55. | |
I leave the ashram, travel halfway across the world to find my father, | :27:56. | :27:59. | |
Oh, well. As Vashrati says, gotta keep smiling! | :28:00. | :28:07. | |
We don't tend to use the bathroom together here. | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
All right, well, I'll catch you later. | :28:11. | :28:13. |
