A Belfast firm is forced to lay off staff as a direct result | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
A Day Centre in west Belfast is having to close tomorrow because of | :00:19. | :00:32. | |
a bonfire. Message to the frustration of the people who use | :00:33. | :00:33. | |
the centre. I could cry. A new initiative | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
from the loyal Orders in Londonderry on people taking part in parades | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
in the city is broadly welcomed. Why one of our most popular beaches | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
is closed to the public today. It's nearing tee-time for | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
Rory Mcilroy in Kentucky as golf's world number one | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
endeavours to win back to back And the thundery downpours | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
are back tomorrow. We have another heavy rain | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
warning in the forecast. This evening we begin with | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
the threat to jobs as a result One Minister is warning | :01:02. | :01:17. | |
his department faces a shortfall We'll hear from David Ford | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
in a moment. Yesterday the Roads Minister | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Danny Kennedy warned cuts would effect everything from pothole | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
repairs to fixing street lights. Today a firm with | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
the contract to empty roadside gullies across Northern Ireland, | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
said work was stopping and they're Our Political Reporter Stephen | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
Walker has the story. For 20 years, the Belfast company | :01:33. | :01:47. | |
and have as have been emptying girlies across Northern Ireland. Its | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
deal with government as part of a ?1 million contract and its | :01:54. | :01:55. | |
cancellation means 11 staff will lose their job. -- gullies. We will | :01:56. | :02:08. | |
have two lay them off temporarily until this is resolved. How many | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
staff does this affect? It is somewhere in the region of ten or 11 | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
guys. But there could be another 30 families affected by this. In total, | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
40 people will be affected. Absolutely. One of those who is to | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
lose his job is 29-year-old Paul. He has two children and is unsure where | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
he can find work. There is no work out there at the minute. Everywhere | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
is the same. How long have you got left doing this? It could be two | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
weeks of the most, I would say. And then you will be looking for a job. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
weeks of the most, I would say. And Yeah, that's me done. Today's news | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
comes after Danny Kennedy announced that services like streetlight | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
repair and roadworks were all being cut. MLS have government contracts | :03:03. | :03:11. | |
to cut grass and spray weeds. . Those who represent contractors say | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
they are not surprised by today's news. It is a sense of we told you | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
so. We have been warning for a long time that they would be further job | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
losses in the construction industry if these cuts went ahead. Just to | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
remind listeners, the construction industry in Northern Ireland has | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
lost some 26,000 jobs during this recession. At a time when we are | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
beginning to see the economy recovering, we are beginning to play | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
a very important part in that recovery. This is very bad news. | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Tonight, a spokesperson for the Department of regional developments | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
and unfortunately this serves to demonstrate what Danny Kennedy has | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
warned about. The spokesperson also said the impact of the shortfall | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
will haven't impact upon the lives of real people. Away from the talk | :03:59. | :04:08. | |
of budget cuts, this is the human face of departmental cuts. Just 24 | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
hours after Danny Kennedy's announcement, these workers are now | :04:13. | :04:21. | |
looking for a new job. Justice Minister, David Ford, claims | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
his department is also facing significant cuts. He is blaming Sinn | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
Fein and the DGP's deadlock over welfare reform. Court delays could | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
be among the area facing cutbacks although the final breakdown isn't | :04:37. | :04:37. | |
due until later this month. Is it not better to have health | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
and education protected? Sinn Fein had been obstructing us | :04:41. | :05:16. | |
over reform, being... World comes down to it, if you feel that it is | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
so dysfunctional that departments are being protected that don't need | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
to be, why don't walk away? What I'm doing at the moment is looking at | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
the exact effects on the of Justice. I had a meeting a fortnight | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
ago with various bodies looking at prisons, probation, youth Justice, | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
the courts and all the other bodies. People have been asked to report by | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
the end of the weekends to the effect of cuts this year and next | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
year. I made it clear that I would go back to the executive if I did | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
not believe we can properly protect the people of Northern Ireland, | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
whether it be supervision of offenders or police officers on the | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
streets. The police did issue a statement this afternoon saying | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
their immediate priority is to keep people safe. They seem confident | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
that any country - budget cuts will not impact on safety. The police | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
constable told the board at the beginning of July that cuts of 2.9% | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
would seriously impact on keeping the public safe and the recruitment | :06:13. | :06:20. | |
of new offices. We are currently facing 4.4% cuts by October, | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
possibly worse, if there is more protection for health and education. | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
What is the answer to all of this? We've had wrangling with Danny | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
Kennedy. What is the solution? Danny Kennedy is losing the 2% cut, the | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
same as other people, but is getting over ?30 million allocated in the | :06:39. | :06:40. | |
spending round. I'm getting the biggest cut of all and ?500,000 | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
extra. There are big differences. Sinn Fein should accept reality and | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
stop blocking welfare reform. That UUP should also stop pandering to | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
their whims. When there is no justification for this proposal and | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
then they vote for it, and we will then be looking closely | :07:03. | :07:40. | |
at over the next weeks in the Department of Justice. | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
A day centre for vulnerable adults in west Belfast is to close tomorrow | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
due to safety concerns over a nearby bonfire. | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
The anti-internment bonfire is in the Beechmount area. | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
At a separate bonfire, in the lower Falls, two teenagers | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
were arrested after a petrol bomb was thrown as contractors removed | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
This is how close the bonfire is to the day centre. And fears for the | :07:57. | :08:14. | |
safety of those using the building mean it is going to shut down | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
tomorrow for the day. We have a disabled facility here. It is being | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
used as a run through to being bonfire were dubbed the bonfire. It | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
has been going on all summer long. Now we are being forced to close. | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
I'm very angry. I'm angry because my daughter has to go through that | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
every day, along with all the other people who are there. They are not | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
able to do it. How does that make you feel personally? I am so | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
frustrated I could cry. The centre helps some of the most vulnerable | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
people living in this part of Belfast. Tomorrow's closure will | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
cause disruption but the letters are sent to parents this week makes it | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
clear. It will be for one day only. The MP for the area has been talking | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
to young people about the bonfire and its impact on the local | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
community. I would urge them to dismantle this. I would urge them to | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
allow the services to come and clear this would away. I would urge them | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
not to like this bonfire tomorrow night. Have a have been built in | :09:22. | :09:35. | |
West Belfast. Minor trouble broke out this morning when contractors | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
under police guard removed parts out this morning when contractors | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
a bonfire here. A petrol bomb was thrown. A 19-year-old and a | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
13-year-old were later arrested. They have since been released on | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
police bail. Back at the day centre, the gates are now closed. But the | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
bonfire is still there. It is due to be lit tomorrow night but the day | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
centre should reopen on Monday, as long | :10:02. | :10:01. | |
Why one of our most popular beaches was close to the public today. We | :10:02. | :10:19. | |
are helping the economy. There are people who are maybe on a holiday, | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
appear for a day and they cannot get onto the beach. | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
A set of guidelines have been proposed | :10:29. | :10:30. | |
The initiative from the loyal orders in Londonderry has been welcomed by | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
unionist and nationalist politicians and the Parades Commission. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Members of the loyal orders and bands are now being consulted | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
The August parades to mark the 17th century siege of dairy is one of the | :10:41. | :10:56. | |
most significant events of the season. -- Derry. The city is often | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
held up as a model of how disputes can be resolved. Now, series of | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
proposals have been published. They are calling it the maiden city | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
accords. The document states that organisers must contact | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
representatives from places of worship. It also says leaders should | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
actively discourage the consumption of alcohol and that marchers should | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
refrain from any swarm - form of antagonism. There are perceptions of | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
parading which are not accurate. This is laid bare. | :11:42. | :11:55. | |
So far, the marching season has passed off without any major | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
incidents but there is still no agreement among political parties on | :12:01. | :12:01. | |
a parading framework, agreement among political parties on | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
last winter failed to produce a deal. The Orange | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
last winter failed to produce a body says the accord isn't | :12:11. | :12:11. | |
necessarily a blueprint for other body says the accord isn't | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
areas but the grand Lodge says it will study the effects of the | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
initiative and take on board any lessons. The DGP says there should | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
not be a one size fits all approach. I think it is a good solution for | :12:24. | :12:35. | |
the local area. I don't think it is necessarily a template that should | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
simply be lifted and then rubber-stamped elsewhere. The | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
Nationalist party say they hope the initiative will help to open up | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
others. I particularly welcome the respectful way in which the accord | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
says that Mannesmann and lodges should be respectful of church and | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
chip properties and church services. I think that is a very | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
important step forward. It is not a panacea. Everybody understands that | :13:04. | :13:10. | |
this is about local agreements and this is an example of what a local | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
agreement can do. I hope that we can expand that conversation. The | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
parades commission has also welcomed the accord. In a statement, the | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
commission has described it as an imaginative initiative. The former | :13:25. | :13:36. | |
chief constable was taking part in a west Belfast Festival event and | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
spoke about the ATT. It was my idea. I set it up because it was important | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
to try and create an organisation that gave families some hope that we | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
were determined to give them for more information than they had had | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
before. What I learnt today, of course, was it would work for some | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
people. It clearly wasn't the overall solution to deal with | :14:04. | :14:04. | |
Northern Ireland's troubled history. Holiday makers in Portstewart have | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
had more than ice cream and rock They have had | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
the unique opportunity to spy on the making of the worldwide hit | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
series, the Game of Thrones. On the downside, | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
no one has been able to get onto Our arts correspondent, | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
Maggie Taggart has been to see It is peak time for tourism here | :14:22. | :14:30. | |
that if you have come to sample the sea and the sand, there is no | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
chance. The National Trust has rented it out to the makers of the | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
programme. They will not say how much they were paid, only that it | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
will go into the budget for running the properties. The beach was closed | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
yesterday and today. This path is normally the access to the beach but | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
as you can see, they have put up a new fence which is blocking people | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
from getting at it. You can quite clearly see through it. You can see | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
the trucks, the generators and the horses. Pads nearby have been | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
thronged with dog what girls and sightseers curious for a glimpse of | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
the action. The bad side is that there are people on holiday pay for | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
today you cannot get onto the beach. I suppose it is only for two days. | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
If it had have been for longer, that would be different. Personally, I | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
feel that people are paying for it. It is The National Trust and people | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
are paying for it. They should have a chance to walk on it. Two years | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
ago in the same Coleraine Council area, the beach was hired to fill | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
these scenes in Game Of Thrones. The area is reaping the benefit now. It | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
is now a far more renowned beach. And so the exposure we have got | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
through the filming in the area has a significant tourism benefit which | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
is beneficial locally. Tourism officials are delighted at the | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
interest. This is the first time we have seen people coming to the | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
ground is looking to do Game Of Thrones tools. We have more people | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
on the website looking for it, we have a map which we have actively | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
print because it is so popular. This is the first season we have had an | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
idea of how impact full Game Of Thrones is. It is not quite possible | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
to see exactly what is going on in the sand dunes. All will become | :16:40. | :16:46. | |
clear when CDs five is screened. -- series five. | :16:47. | :16:48. | |
Once they've filmed it, we need something to watch it on, and | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Modern tablet computers are everywhere, | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
even though just a few years ago you'd hardly have seen one. | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
Almost half of households in Northern Ireland now own one. | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
Along with Wales, we have the highest levels | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
The figures come in an annual report by the media regulator Ofcom, | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
Any spare moment and the screens are out and focus of our attention. In | :17:08. | :17:21. | |
any waiting room, you can see how the generations divide. It is the | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
younger ones more likely to embrace a mobile lifestyle. Now Ofcom's | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
report suggests we could be taking our love of tablet computers to | :17:31. | :17:36. | |
extremes. Adults in the UK spend an average of over eight hours on media | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
devices, longer than a night's sleep. Almost half of homes in | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
Northern Ireland have a tablet computer. They are everywhere. I | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
might have memorised that or I could have been reading it from my iPad of | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
the camera there. One into households have some form of tablet | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
computer. That is amazing because a couple of years ago that did not | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
happen. Smartphones were not around until the last three or four years. | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
55% of consumers have a smartphone and they are using it more and more | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
to go online win on the move. People do not sit on a desk -- at a desk in | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
the way they once did. Some youngsters have been at this camp, | :18:23. | :18:25. | |
learning how to write programmes and learning to write a career -- to | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
begin a career using this technology. We'll have gadgets, | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
mobile phones and tablets. What this is about is to encourage young | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
people to become creators of content and apps. That is well the jobs are | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
in the industry. We have plans to employ another 20,000 in the next | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
ten years. It is pretty exciting to put it on a tablet and see it and | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
have to debug it and go through the whole programme and see he's an app | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
is developed. This is the future and this is where the jobs are. It is | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
helpful and good for socialising, medicine, everything. This is the | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
future. For all that, we spend less time online in the UK average. About | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
three hours a week less, but it has not stopped our love of gadgets. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
More mobile devices, more pay-TV, more internet connectivity. Whether | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
it is simply part of our or a potential career opportunity, | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
digital technology is playing an ever bigger part in the way we live. | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
Ulster Bank is selling the loans attached to Belfast's high | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
It doesn't mean the hotel is being sold but it will put its future | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
It's part of a wider move by Ulster Bank to reduce its involvement | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
With the details, here's our economics and | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
The 5-star merchant plays an important part of Ireland's | :19:56. | :20:07. | |
hospitality industry. It was key to the regeneration of the Cathedral | :20:08. | :20:09. | |
Quarter and attracts high spending tourists. It was developed using | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
Ulster Bank loans. As part of the bank's restructuring, it is | :20:16. | :20:16. | |
retreating bank's restructuring, it is | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
commercial property business, mainly by selling loans to other lenders. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
That is what is happening with him in action. It creates uncertainty | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
but it is basically business as usual. It is important to be clear | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
that the Merchant Hotel is not up for sale. What is happening is part | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
of a much wider exercise by our banks to Die Welt which -- to remove | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
themselves from the loans sector which we had during the bone -- boom | :20:45. | :20:56. | |
period. Not all of the loans are being sold as there are borrowings | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
with other banks. Once upon a time, Ulster Bank's headquarters were in | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
this building, which is now the merchant. Ulster Bank's parent | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
company, RBS, has said that challenging targets to get rid of | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
all is boom time property lending is important. It has made good progress | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
but is now beginning to pick up the pace. | :21:23. | :21:24. | |

He will play alongside the two other major winners of 2014, | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
The 25-year-old looked very relaxed as he practiced ahead of his round. | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
This outstanding tee-shot from Padraig Harrington was | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
He played alongside Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
He finished two over par. Graeme McDowell is too over late in his | :22:08. | :22:19. | |
round. Darren Clarke tees off in about half an hour. | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
Ulster's former Directory of Rugby David Humphreys has today broken | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
his silence for the first time since his shock depature from Ravenhill | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
A constant at Ravenhill for over two decades as | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
a player and administrator, as Gavin Andrews reports, Humphreys felt the | :22:33. | :22:34. | |
As a player, David Humphreys delivered when it mattered. To the | :22:35. | :22:47. | |
new side of the field. Humphreys... delivered when it mattered. To the | :22:48. | :22:54. | |
The European cup when our dedicated 22 years of his life to Ulster. His | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
exit from Ravenhill, though, should not, as such a surprise. I was not | :22:59. | :23:07. | |
looking to leave. But when I look back as a player, there were a | :23:08. | :23:10. | |
number of opportunities to play elsewhere. It is not that I ever | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
regret not leaving, but at this stage, I knew when I decided to | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
remain a professional sport, that at some point in my future and my | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
family and I would have to move away. This is a fast opportunity | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
that has come along that I felt was a good fit for me and my family. It | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
is a club I am excited to be part of. And our venue in King 's home | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
that is not far out of his comfort zone. So much in Gloucester is the | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
same as what I have come from. It is a club rooted in the community with | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
a huge identity in the area. Those are things that are | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
a huge identity in the area. Those quantify. The question Ulster fans | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
will be asking, can the team he left behind do the same? David Humphreys | :23:57. | :24:06. | |
breaks his silence. On a similar theme, all is quiet in County | :24:07. | :24:07. | |
Armagh. The build up to | :24:08. | :24:08. | |
Saturday?s All-Ireland football quarterfinal double header in | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
Croke Park, which sees Armagh meet Donegal and Monaghan take on Dublin, | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
has been low key. So low key in fact that no-one in | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
the Armagh camp is saying anything. Thomas Niblock is live in the | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
cathedral city with a lone voice. There has been a little bit of talk. | :24:19. | :24:32. | |
Not from the Armagh manager or players. The media ban has been in | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
place following that role in the Ulster Championship. There has been | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
some chatting to local newspapers but very little, and that media ban | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
remains in place. They have already won the league. Their manager is | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
here and formerly played for Armagh. We're watching the team warm up | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
before their match. Congratulations, they have won the league. But for | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
Armagh, media ban, farcical situation when a press conference | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
was called at Croke Park and then cancelled this week. As it almost | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
become a distraction? May be. It served a purpose to begin with. | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
There... The punishment maybe didn't fit the crime after the cover my | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
game. -- the punishment. The situation we had in the week was | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
farcical. Maybe now it is a bigger distraction that has ever been. It | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
is almost take on -- taken on a life of its own. In some respects, could | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
it be the classic smoke screen? I suppose it is. I don't think it was | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
an accident. I think it was a smoke screen as far as Donegal were | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
concerned. Taking the focus away from the game. Nobody is actually | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
talking about the game. Donegal to win? Armagh to win? Donegal to edge | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
it, but this Armagh team have progressed game by game. The big | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
thing about Armagh is that they will not fair Donegal. If only I were a | :26:11. | :26:20. | |
two trick pony! Time for the weather. | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
More rain in the forecast but a lot of us had reasonably dry weather | :26:27. | :26:28. | |
today. It was not perfect, some showers kicking about. One or two | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
porky ones about at the moment. Not a bad evening, but it will stay dry | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
for the first half of the night. In the early hours, rain moves up from | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
the south and that is a thing start tomorrow morning. Initially, most of | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
the rain in the east but we expect heavy showers just about anywhere | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
tomorrow. A weather warning has been issued. That is from six o'clock | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
tomorrow morning. It is in a number of areas. Plenty of rain in the rush | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
hour tomorrow morning. Some of that torrential and fund only. It could | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
lead to destruction with local flooding in places. If you're | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
travelling tomorrow morning, it would be wise to give yourself extra | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
time. The rain is probably more patchy and try across parts of the | :27:17. | :27:19. | |
West and it is from the west we will see drier weather eventually moving | :27:20. | :27:28. | |
in. It improves in the afternoon. Still some showers, but upright and | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
try end to the day in many places. Friday night should be try. One to | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
feel a sharp showers, but hopefully not too bad for the Festival of | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
light, which is on this weekend in Newcastle. -- Festival of Flight. | :27:42. | :27:51. | |
The most likely areas to be affected will be Southern and eastern areas | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
of England. That is where heavy rain and unusually windy weather will be | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
on Sunday. Northern Ireland, yes, sharp showers over the weekend but | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
at least it will not be as bad as parts of southern Britain and will | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
be dry and sunny gaps as well. Thank you. Join me for the late summary at | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
10:25 p.m.. Enjoy your evening. Goodbye. | :28:12. | :28:13. |
