:00:00. > :00:00.First look at the morning papers on the BBC News Channel in just is a
:00:00. > :00:11.few minutes too. The police have described
:00:12. > :00:15.a gun attack on one of their patrols in Londonderry
:00:16. > :00:17.as a completely reckless act. Two shots were fired
:00:18. > :00:19.at the driver's side The attack happened in the Bogside
:00:20. > :00:23.in the early hours of yesterday morning, but details
:00:24. > :00:25.only emerged this afternoon. Dissident republicans
:00:26. > :00:26.are being blamed. Here's our North-West reporter,
:00:27. > :00:29.Keiron Tourish. The police say the three officers
:00:30. > :00:33.targeted were in a four-by-four vehicle and on a routine patrol
:00:34. > :00:37.when two shots were fired at them. The shots hit the driver's window
:00:38. > :00:41.as they were passing this junction The officers suspected something had
:00:42. > :00:48.struck the silver-coloured vehicle, similiar to this one
:00:49. > :00:50.which was filmed during a recent security alert,
:00:51. > :00:55.and immediately returned to base. Firing shots in any built-up area is
:00:56. > :01:08.a mindless and reckless act, The accuracy of anyone using a gun
:01:09. > :01:16.is simply in the lap of the gods. If they missed, we could have had
:01:17. > :01:20.anyone hit, a passing vehicle or a pedestrian or a house hit, and I
:01:21. > :01:22.would condemn the mindless actions Politicians were scathing
:01:23. > :01:25.in their condemnation. The people who carried out this
:01:26. > :01:28.attack have no regard for their community, or for
:01:29. > :01:37.the future we are trying to build. They have no place in today's
:01:38. > :01:41.society. I think the people of Londonderry are sick and tired of
:01:42. > :01:45.these types of incidents and putting people 's lives at risk, especially
:01:46. > :01:47.those who are out trying to protect communities.
:01:48. > :01:50.The police suspect dissident republicans are behind this attack
:01:51. > :01:53.but say they will not be deflected from providing the type of service

:01:57. > :02:05.A 32-year-old woman's been charged with terrorism offences
:02:06. > :02:07.for allegedly trying to identify people currently under the

:02:19. > :02:20.for the Housing Executive. She'll appear in court tomorrow.

:02:33. > :02:42.The BBC has learned there's been a further delay into the review
:02:43. > :02:44.of children's heart services in Belfast.

:03:01. > :03:03.on the County Kerry coast today. Scenes for the new Stars Wars movie
:03:04. > :03:06.are being filmed on Skerrig Michael Island amidst tight security.
:03:07. > :03:08.We sent our reporter Andy West to the nearby
:03:09. > :03:13.fishing village of Portmagee to see what he could find out.
:03:14. > :03:18.Straining to get a view of a set far, far away, but an Irish Navy
:03:19. > :03:27.ship patrolling Skellig Michael is making sure no-one can get closer.
:03:28. > :03:34.In 1977 I was six years old, so I had the pyjamas
:03:35. > :03:37.and a lunchbox and everything Star Wars, so it is a big thing.
:03:38. > :03:43.It is misty today, although it looks good, but I see
:03:44. > :03:57.--, you can't look really good. No, I cannot see any people.
:03:58. > :04:00.On the right? Why didn't you tell me?
:04:01. > :04:02.Down at the harbour in Portmagee on the mainland,
:04:03. > :04:05.the crew have been shifting mysterious boxes and gadgets onto
:04:06. > :04:07.boats to be taken to the set. Security is tight.
:04:08. > :04:10.I'm from the BBC, we want a sneaky peak at the film.
:04:11. > :04:13.Any chance I can get on one of the boats?
:04:14. > :04:24.Word in Portmagee is that Mark Hamill, the original Luke Skywalker,
:04:25. > :04:29.Everything was kept tight-lipped but the cat is out of the bag,
:04:30. > :04:33.and it is good for South Kerry, good for Ireland.
:04:34. > :04:39.No-one knew about it until it came around, so we are
:04:40. > :04:46.Star Wars touching down on Skellig Michael.
:04:47. > :04:50.Conservationists say the filming poses a risk to the island's puffin
:04:51. > :04:54.population, who are in the middle of their mating season, but the
:04:55. > :04:58.Irish Film Board say they timed the filming of the scene specifically
:04:59. > :05:06.the scene they are shooting is one minute long.
:05:07. > :05:10.to find out what is really going on over there.
:05:11. > :05:18.Star Wars Episode VII is not out until next year.
:05:19. > :05:30.Let's go to Stephen Watson with the latest on the local

:05:41. > :05:43.The success in the ring takes the overall tally of medals for Team NI
:05:44. > :05:56.to 11 after all six of the fighters in action today won their bouts.
:05:57. > :06:01.The captain of the Northern Ireland's boxing room looked as if
:06:02. > :06:07.he meant business when he entered the ring tonight. And Paddy Barnes
:06:08. > :06:14.did not disappoint. What a right hand. The Belfast light flyweight
:06:15. > :06:22.was an emphatic winner, almost stopping his opponent in round two.
:06:23. > :06:33.Before finishing the job of in the next. -- finishing the job off. He
:06:34. > :06:42.is in Glasgow for just one thing. Bronze medals are only a token of
:06:43. > :06:49.appreciation, but you look back at a bronze medal and say, I got a bronze
:06:50. > :06:57.medal, a gold is what we are talking about. Welterweight Stephen Donnelly
:06:58. > :07:01.is also on the hunt for gold and produced a gutsy performance to win
:07:02. > :07:11.a semifinal spot after a brilliant win over his highly right Canadian
:07:12. > :07:12.opponent. -- highly ranked. He is small and stocky and he's been to
:07:13. > :07:18.the Olympic games, he was small and stocky and he's been to
:07:19. > :07:24.favourite for gold here, so I always knew I had the talent to beat him.
:07:25. > :07:29.At middleweight, Conor Coyle rounded off a memorable night, making it
:07:30. > :07:39.medal number nine for the boxing team. Earlier today, Michael Conlan
:07:40. > :07:46.celebrated a comfortable victory. Before Michaela Walsh created by bit
:07:47. > :07:58.of boxing history. As a medallist, the first one. I believe I can go
:07:59. > :08:06.all the way. I perform to the best of my ability and just listen to my
:08:07. > :08:09.coaches. Alana Audley became -- Alanna Audley-Murphy became Northern
:08:10. > :08:14.Ireland's 50th medallist at the games. Now it has finally come, I
:08:15. > :08:20.just need to keep up the work and perform well. I have the first one

:08:47. > :08:54.for team NI. Northern Ireland's netballers said a trail for the rest
:08:55. > :09:00.of the games. It was intense. We always knew it would be a tough
:09:01. > :09:05.game. Scotland were at the world qualifier so we knew it would be a
:09:06. > :09:12.tough one. In gymnastics, Nicole Moore Winnie was competing in the
:09:13. > :09:17.all-round individual final. She acquitted herself admirably in

:09:34. > :09:37.for the future, I will go away, train hard and try to come back. And
:09:38. > :09:39.on the track, TD Kirk was second in her heat to reach tomorrow's

:09:47. > :09:59.at the Coleraine Showgrounds between Northern Ireland and Mexico,
:10:00. > :10:01.there were ugly scenes which resulted in three players,
:10:02. > :10:04.two from Mexico and Robbie McDaid The game was stopped for over five
:10:05. > :10:09.minutes after a brawl in the penalty Both countries can probably
:10:10. > :10:12.expect further repercussions. Meanwhile, in the Brandywell,
:10:13. > :10:27.Manchester United and CSKA Moscow Northern Ireland's youth manager
:10:28. > :10:34.Stephen Creggan said tonight he was disgusted by those scenes at the

:10:36. > :10:42.Coleraine Showground. Thank you, now here is the weather. We are
:10:43. > :10:45.expecting some lively showers during Thursday. There are not too many
:10:46. > :10:50.showers at the moment but they will become frequent from the west,
:10:51. > :10:53.especially towards DN of the night, and there could be thundery
:10:54. > :10:59.downpours across the west and north coast. Lewis temperatures across
:11:00. > :11:04.Southdown with clear spells and temperatures dropping to 12 degrees.
:11:05. > :11:09.Tomorrow expect heavy showers, not through the day and all the time but
:11:10. > :11:12.there will be a risk of a downpour anywhere, especially through the
:11:13. > :11:17.morning and into the early afternoon, but there will still be
:11:18. > :11:21.gaps and the south-east should still catch a little bit of sunshine. That
:11:22. > :11:26.risk of thundery showers spread south across the Republic of Ireland
:11:27. > :11:29.and there will be a line of intense thunderstorms over Northern England,
:11:30. > :11:34.Wales and the Midlands, which will slowly edge south but not arrive in
:11:35. > :11:39.south-east England until late in the day. In Scotland, the north is
:11:40. > :11:45.cooler and fresher, some showers but not as heavy. The heaviest downpours
:11:46. > :11:48.will edge away from our east coast around the middle of the afternoon,
:11:49. > :11:54.so an improvement towards evening with sunshine and temperatures
:11:55. > :11:58.recovering. Friday will see showers but also some decent sunny breaks,
:11:59. > :12:02.especially in the morning and across eastern areas. The showers
