Good evening. The headlines on BBC Newsline. | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
The First Minister hits back after Gerry Adams warns | :00:16. | :00:27. | |
Expansion plans are put on hold indefinitely. I will have the | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
latest. The First Minister hits back | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
after Gerry Adams warns the political process is facing | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
it's biggest challenge A Londonderry doctor appears | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
in court to deny charges he Rory McIlroy is on a roll | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
as he goes in search Torrential rain has affected some | :00:40. | :01:01. | |
areas it today again. What will the weekend have in store for us? I will | :01:02. | :01:03. | |
be back with the full forecast. A plan to expand the University | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
of Ulster's Magee campus has been shelved because | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
of a threatened funding shortfall. It follows warnings earlier this | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
week about budget cuts to It's all being blamed on a lack | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
of agreement The Employment and Learning | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Minister, Stephen Farry, said expansion at the Londonderry campus | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
has been postponed indefinitely. But as our Education Correspondent | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
Maggie Taggart reports, he's been For decades, there has been pressure | :01:32. | :01:46. | |
to expand university provision in dairy and recent promises of new | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
buildings and extra student places seemed to be satisfying local | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
demand. The target was an extra 1000 students by next year but Nat it | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
looks as though the expansion. At 650. The minister blames a shortage | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
of money because welfare reforms have not been implemented. When we | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
play fast and loosed, there are consequences. There are going to be | :02:12. | :02:24. | |
consequences. Sinn Fein reaction was swift with an impromptu protest | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
staged at the campus. Given the fact the business case hasn't even | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
reached his table yet, how can any minister suggest that this will be | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
pulled when he hasn't even looked at the finer detail? The people of this | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
city will not be found wanting. The university says it is you | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
mystified. Early last month, it won permission for a new building. It | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
was expecting budget cuts but the minister's revelation has come as a | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
shock. The University of Ulster is extremely disappointed by this | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
morning's announcement. We were aware that both universities would | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
suffer cuts this year but we have had no discussions with ministers | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
about impacts upon specific projects. The University is seeking | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
an urgent meeting. There have been... It has been described as | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
shabby politics. Some are wondering why he is appearing to cancel plans | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
which they say had never been formally agreed. Is he really | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
telling us that the expansion was ready to do? It is only because of | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
the consequences in relation to reform that he is not able to do it. | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
That is not true. The minister says he has agreed to meet the Minister - | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
the University of Ulster. Meanwhile, Gerry Adams has hit back | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
at those accusing Sinn Fein of stalling over welfare reform, | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
criticising unionists for failing to engage positively | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
in political negotiations. The DUP leader Peter Robinson said | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
the most damaging issue, that has the potential to end devolution, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
is what he described as Sinn Fein's shameless denial | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
of economic realities. Our Political Reporter Stephen | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
Walker has more. Store Monty is having a face-lift. | :04:10. | :04:24. | |
The roof is being repaired. - storm on. But Gerry Adams thinks it needs | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
more than cosmetic changes. He believes the political process needs | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
to be shaken from its foundations. Surely the biggest party in the | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
executive is not committed to what it signed up to when it moved into | :04:38. | :04:44. | |
government with Sinn Fein and the other parties. That confidence is | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
being eroded. Sinn Fein also insists that welfare reform changes must be | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
opposed and they wanted executive to appear united. But Unionists think | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Gerry Adams is all talk and no action. We can all bluster. It's | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
very easy to do but it doesn't get us anywhere, particularly when Sinn | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
Fein are sticking with this message. It is not the politics of the real | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
world. Gerry Adams says the political process is facing its | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
biggest political process is facing its | :05:18. | :05:24. | |
agreement. It's - his opponents say he is being hypocritical. It's rich | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
agreement. It's - his opponents say coming from Gerry Adams. Because of | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
the Republicans, politics didn't move on whilst they | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
the Republicans, politics didn't killed people and didn't | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
the Republicans, politics didn't Gerry Adams and Sinn Fein created a | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
fair bit of it. The Alliance party have also criticised him, saying his | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
comments about welfare reform up nonsense. Denied, Peter Robinson | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
warned that Sinn Fein's failure is the problem most likely to bring | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
down the devolved institutions. His party colleagues think Gerry | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
Adams's comments are a smoke screen. Sinn Fein on well for | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
reform, cannot get agreement and as a result people are losing their | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
jobs, public services are being cut and this is a diversionary tactic, | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
to deflect from the fact Sinn Fein are not stepping into the mark when | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
it comes to responsible government. Sinn Fein say the political process | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
base at Stormont needs to be restored but today, this was the | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
only visible sign rebuilding. So, when the politicians return after | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
the recess, they may notice some changes but inside the chamber, it | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
is likely to be business as usual. Whether it is the parades and | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
welfare reform, today's news illustrates the fact that the | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
parties are as divided as ever. Our Reporter Mervyn Jess goes up | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
in the world. I am being turned upside down over | :06:51. | :07:10. | |
Newcastle Bay. That is something else! | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
The Belfast Health Trust is to re-advertise the post of | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
Chief Executive as the candidate offered the job | :07:19. | :07:20. | |
The BBC has learned that the applicant, a senior health official | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
in the Republic, turned down the job despite a potential increase | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly has the story. | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
Soon after the former chief executive announced his decision to | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
resign, the search began for his replacement. Six people applied to | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
run Northern Ireland's largest health trust but this man, chief | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
executive of the group in the Republic, offered the job last | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
month. Despite a more attractive salary, the BBC understands that at | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
the 11th hour, he turned it down. They now face horrendous problems | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
and some work, they have to have leadership in order to coordinate | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
what services they can keep going and how they save money. It is not a | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
job for the faint-hearted and to have an empty seat is worse. I | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
have... Northern Ireland is a very small | :08:24. | :08:32. | |
place. They will be a small number of people of the right calibre. It | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
is time to start doing something more creative, and looking outside | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
this region. There must be advantages to bringing someone in | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
from outside. There are many advantages. | :08:50. | :08:59. | |
According to the trust, until that person is found, it is business as | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
usual. The finance director will act as interim chief. With services and | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
staff continuing to operate under tremendous pressure, the appointment | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
of a new chief executive at the health trust cannot come soon | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
enough. The question is, who will rise to the challenge? | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
Police have arrested a 53-year-old man on suspicion of the murder of | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Caroline Graham was 19-years-old when she vanished in 1989. | :09:27. | :09:33. | |
New searches at a house in the town took place earlier this week. | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
A 51-year-old Londonderry doctor has appeared in court on charges | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
During the brief hearing he told the court that he was definitely | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Here's our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish. | :09:49. | :09:55. | |
Before the court was Doctor Casey, a GP who is 51 years old and from the | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
Before the court was Doctor Casey, a city. He is accused that on a date | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
unknown between the 1st of April and the 1st of May 2006, he indecently | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
assaulted a girl who was under 18 years of age. He also faces a second | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
charge of indecent assault against another girl and the age of 18. That | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
offence was alleged to have taken place on a date unknown between | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
October one 2005 and October the 31st 2006. Two of the charges were | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
withdrawn during the short hearing. The doctor stood quietly in the | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
courtroom while the charges were read out. Family and friends were in | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
the public gallery. He said he did not object to a preliminary enquiry | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
being held. When asked if he wanted to say anything in relation to the | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
charges, he replied, definitely not guilty. Barrister said he did not | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
wish to make any submissions at this stage. When the doctor was asked if | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
he wished to call witnesses, he responded, not at this stage. The | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
district judge said there was a prima fussy case based on the | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
papers. Granted his own bail of ?200. He must reside at his own | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
address. His arraignment ?200. He must reside at his own | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
charges is due to take place on September the 8th at Londonderry | :11:18. | :11:18. | |
Crown Court. The local food industry says | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
its concerned about the impact of Russia's embargo | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
on food imports from UK and Europe. Russia has taken the step | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
as retaliation after economic sanctions were imposed on it because | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
of its involvement in Ukraine. With the details our Economic | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
and Business Editor John Campbell. Food and drink is by far our biggest | :11:31. | :11:45. | |
export industry. Companies like this one is seldom more than ?1 billion | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
worth of produce in markets outside the UK every year. But only a tiny | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
size of that goes to Russia, about ?3 million worth of the past year. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
So it is the wider knock-on effects which really has producers worried. | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
You're concerned that the firm and the States who do currently export | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
to Russia... It comes to the market and ultimately, there is an | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
oversupply of product to the market which has the potential to devalue | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
what we produce in Northern Ireland. Most of the exports to Russia are | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
accounted for by one of our biggest companies, Dale farm. It has been | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
building a cheese business in Russia, exporting hundreds of tonnes | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
of the stuff over the last few years. So it can see a direct | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
effect. For others, the impacts are uncertain. Trying to be specific | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
about exactly what the effects are going to be at this stage is very | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
premature. It can take a period of time for this to work through the | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
system and for the ebbs and flows to work themselves out. So, nobody | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
really knows what impact this embargo will have on the volume of | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
exports flowing through Belfast Harbour. The embargo is only | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
supposed to last a year so it's impact may be quite limited. What it | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
does illustrate is just how globalised and connected the food | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
industry has become. That certainly brings | :13:12. | :13:18. | |
The Speaker of the Assembly Willie Hay is to be | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
When the announcement was made by Downing Street this morning, he | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
said he was delighted, but humbled. Order, order I would ask people to | :13:26. | :13:39. | |
be careful of their language in the house. | :13:40. | :13:41. | |
Willie Hay has been a DUP politician for 30 years. | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
Originally a councillor and later mayor of Londonderry, | :13:46. | :13:46. | |
the Foyle MLA has been speaker of the Assembly since 2007. | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
And in that time he's seen his fair share | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
You always seem to know who the culprits are going to be. | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
Now Mr Hay is one of 22 men and women whom the Queen has | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
It's not clear when he'll take his seat as Lord Hay and leave the | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
He was hard on everyone, never turned albind eye to DUP colleagues, | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
He never turned a blind eye, he knew that if the speaker did not have | :14:16. | :14:30. | |
authority respect, it wouldn't matter who was in the chair, whether | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
it was the Deputy Speaker, he was very, very insistent that this role | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
was never demeaned or belittled. It is never an easy job, you have to | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
face up to issues, I am a person that never runs away from dealing | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
with a difficult issue or dealing with a difficult decision. | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
He'll sit with his Democratic Unionist colleagues | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
in the Lords on the cross benches, even though in one of those quirks | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
of politics, Mr Hay is Donegal born and holds an Irish passport. | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
As part of the commemorations to mark the centenary of the start | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
of the First World War, a museum in County Cavan has created | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
the largest outdoor replica trench in the British Isles. | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
Historians hope that it will help people to rediscover the stories | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
of those who fought, stories that many families in the Republic have | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Here's our south west reporter Julian Fowler. | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
A representation of life on the front line. | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
The 350m long trench was built to the original specifications | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
and manuals used by Irish soldiers at the Battle of the Somme. | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
It provides an insight into trench warfare. | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
It was horrific how difficult it was, and in some ways, it enabled | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
them to learn about the experiences these soldiers had. | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
Those who survived and returned to Cavan did not | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
many of their stories were forgotten. | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
The First World War became something people did not want to speak about | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
or acknowledge, but there seems to be a change, there is more | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
acceptance of the fact that there are many stories from the period | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
that have not been told and that deserve to be told. | :16:20. | :16:21. | |
It's thought 10,000 men from Cavan served in the war. | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
One of them was Lance Corporal Hugh Murphy. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
For 90 years, his descendants were unaware of his | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
grave in France, but they are now discovering more about their uncle. | :16:30. | :16:42. | |
It was difficult at that time, that is why he went. It was at a blue | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
subject for a long time. In fact we spoke very little about it. | :16:52. | :16:53. | |
Now there is peace, the stories can be told again. | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
This football trophy, the Peace Cup, was contested once in 1914 | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
When the war kicked in, the com petition was cancelled and after | :16:59. | :17:15. | |
that, there was the foundation of the Irish state, the border, and | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
then the Second World War, the troubles and so on. | :17:22. | :17:22. | |
Times have changed and the lives and sacrifice of these men are no | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
One of the North-West's most diverse music and arts festivals | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
The Stendhal Festival near Limavady is now in its fourth year. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Set in over 30 acres of farmland, it's not just a traditional summer | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
music festival, there are secret gardens for the children | :17:44. | :17:45. | |
Voted best Irish small festival last year, the annual gathering | :17:46. | :17:52. | |
We did not want it to just be a music festival, we wanted to | :17:53. | :18:07. | |
highlight art and poetry and comedy. We wanted to take anything that took | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
a little bit of creativity and put it all in the one place. | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
Tens of thousands of people are expected to flock to | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
Newcastle in Co Down tomorrow for the annual airshow. | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
Once again the RAF's Red Arrows are the star attraction however a range | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
of other aircraft will also be performing displays as well. | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
Our reporter Mervyn Jess joined one of the teams on a practice flight | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
In the case of rejection, pull your legs back and keep them there until | :18:30. | :18:55. | |
you become released from the seat after the ejections. There is | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
nothing Mickey Mouse about this aircraft, now was the moment of | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
truth, I now have to get strapped into the ejector seat. This is very | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
tight. Tighter than my normal mode of transport. | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
The Vampire was the last aircraft flown by the RAF | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
squadron at Aldergrove when it was disbanded in 1957. | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
Now, the jets are part of the Norweigan | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
Yesterday they flew me down to Newcastle to practice | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
their "loop the loops" on what they described as a dry run. | :19:22. | :19:30. | |
It is like the world is on my shoulders! We are upside down over | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
Newcastle Bay! That is something else! I have never seen the Strand | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
in Newcastle from that angle! After all the G forces | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
my stomach could handle, it was a low level, hedge hopper | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
of a ride back to Aldergrove... Thank you for that, I'm so glad we | :19:55. | :20:08. | |
did not have to use the ejector seat! | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Rory McIlroy is trying to win his second major championship in | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
a row and it's looking pretty good. Here's Stephen with the latest. | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
Rory McIlroy is in the form of his life. | :20:19. | :20:20. | |
The world number one, who lifted the famous Claret Jug | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
for clinching the Open Championship a couple of weeks ago is very much | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
He currently leads the last major championship of | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
the season the USPGA in Kentucky. Gavin Andrews reports. | :20:32. | :20:44. | |
We have not seen this in recent weeks from Rory McIlroy. He made a | :20:45. | :20:52. | |
shaky start in the rain in Kentucky's but it wasn't long until | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
normal service resumed as he poured in birdie putts. On a saturated golf | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
course, his long game came to the fore. And midway through the round, | :21:05. | :21:22. | |
he took advantage, cruising clear. A 2-stroke lead! And when it looked | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
like he would leave the field on his wake, there were some minor mishaps. | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
But there is no question, the world number one is the man to beat. | :21:33. | :21:33. | |
And he is Former Linfield manager | :21:34. | :21:49. | |
David Jeffrey is not involved in the big season kick off | :21:50. | :21:49. | |
for the first time in 17 years. Does it feel strange aura | :21:50. | :22:03. | |
freshening, looking from the outside? A bit of a dichotomy, it is | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
strange to be not involved, we were not planning preseason, looking at | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
Europe, plotting and planning about being successful during the season, | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
and the other side is quite nice to take a break from the game and go | :22:20. | :22:28. | |
and watch games, support my own team Linfield and also support other | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
clubs in their European ventures. As we look at some of the great goals | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
from last season, is this the most open lead of the last few years? | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Absolutely, Glenavon Lane to Portadown have strengthened, | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
Linfield with their new team, Crusaders are rejuvenated, and when | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
you see the quality of some of these goals, the Irish league is not | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
appreciated at times, people can be ambivalent and they are not | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
overenthusiastic, some people are highly critical. Look at that from | :22:57. | :23:04. | |
young Jordan Stewart! That is a smasher! If a Brazilian had stunned | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
that, that would be everywhere! We have got some great players. | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
Cliftonville will be difficult to beat, who do you fancy this year? | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
There is life after Liam Boyce, they would be very determined to go out | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
and to retain the trophy, but other teams will be very, very tight, and | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
one of 56 teams could push the title, but I'm on the spot, I would | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
say Cliftonville could make it three in a row. What about Linfield, they | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
say it is difficult to follow in the footsteps of a big manager Mike Alex | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
Ferguson, what is a dislike for Warren Feeney having to follow what | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
you have done, nine league titles? No my time is over, it is time for | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
Warren, he wants to stamp his authority on the team. He is blue | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
through and through, I just hope he's given the time and the support | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
to bring the successful days back to Windsor Park. And you will be | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
keeping a close eye in case the call comes at some time to get back into | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
the game? I've no aspirations at the moment, I am not actively looking | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
for any thing, but when I said I was stepping down from Linfield, I was | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
not stepping down from football. Thank you. | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
82,000 people will squeeze into Croke Park tomorrow to watch | :24:27. | :24:28. | |
three Ulster counties in the quarter finals of the | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
Monaghan take on reigning champions Dublin while Armagh take on Donegal. | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
And one former Armagh player knows it's going to be a difficult day | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
We had some great battles, some stuff, difficult encounters. We had | :24:38. | :24:51. | |
some great battles in Croke park, some tough battles, we thought, they | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
were going to beat us and we somehow came out on top. This week, Co | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
Donegal are favourites, I think they are sweating at home, thinking, how | :25:01. | :25:03. | |
this game turn out we do not know what this County Armagh will be | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
like. They would be up to the challenge. | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
Both tomorrow's matches are live on BBC Radio Ulster from 4:00pm. | :25:13. | :25:14. | |
Finally this evening, congratulations to County Armagh's | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
Colleen Mallon who has become the first woman from Nothern Ireland | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
Her time of just under ten hours is the third fastest on record. | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
That cannot have been pleasant! A fantastic achievement. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
Now, let's get a look at the all important weekend weather | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
Thankfully, the bad weather is clearing up, it is looking nice now. | :25:36. | :25:49. | |
This is how it was looking today on the River band. It was quite | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
horrible front while. You can see on the rainfall radar, these clusters | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
of heavy downpour is bringing over one inch of rain in a short space of | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
time, but at the moment, some lovely sunshine from the West. If you're | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
heading to Limavady for the festival tonight, it should be mostly dry and | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
fine. The weather, nothing to do with the Harry Kane, that comes on | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
Sunday when Harry Kane birth are well track across. -- that has | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
nothing to do with the Harry Kane storm. It looks like Northern | :26:22. | :26:27. | |
Ireland will not do too badly, but it could be a lot worse. Tonight, it | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
would be dry in places, cool in the countryside, some mist and fog about | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
tomorrow morning. We start the weekend off pretty decent with a | :26:39. | :26:41. | |
nice, bright warning, some lovely sunshine. Both places would be dry | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
during the morning, it would be restricted to parts of Co Donegal. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
You can put the washing every little while. If you're heading for the | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
Festival of flight at Newcastle, it looks like starting off decent. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Temperatures around 1920 degrees in the sunshine in the East. Further | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
west, the code will build up. 19, 20 degrees, the cloud will build up. | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Showers moving to the east as the afternoon goes on. No guarantee you | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
will see a shower, but one or two will hit the coast by the afternoon. | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
Continuing into the evening before moving away tomorrow night and on | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
Sunday, some more brain up from the site. On Sunday, some rain in the | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
east which will be related to hurricane Bertha. Whatever you're | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
doing, have great weekend. You can also keep in contact with | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
