:04:07. > :04:14.As expected, George Galloway did criticise Israel. He also talked
:04:15. > :04:30.about his native Scotland and his opposition to independence. A member
:04:31. > :04:38.of the audience took issue with him. The 1000 strong audience paid for

:04:47. > :04:50.is happening in Palestine. He ships from the hip, doesn't hold back. We

:05:43. > :05:50.food, it is wonderful. Here's Angie Philips with
:05:51. > :06:00.the weather. Not a bad day for many parts of
:06:01. > :06:05.northern Ireland today. I wish I could see the same for bank holiday
:06:06. > :06:09.Monday, but for many of us, it looks like a wet and breezy start to the
:06:10. > :06:13.week. By the middle part of the week, things will improve, but more
:06:14. > :06:19.rain and showers on Wednesday night and Thursday. This evening, the
:06:20. > :06:25.cloud will continue to gather. Still mainly drive. Through the night,
:06:26. > :06:35.rain edging in, mainly light rain. Not amounting to two much. Many
:06:36. > :06:41.places will be largely drive. Tomorrow, it will eventually turn
:06:42. > :06:45.wetter across some parts. Perhaps a little bit of brightness first thing
:06:46. > :06:54.towards the far north, but generally cloudy and breezy. And then drain on
:06:55. > :06:57.its way, already pushing across into England and Wales. We have warnings
:06:58. > :07:04.in place for parts of England and Wales. The best of the bank holiday
:07:05. > :07:09.weather reserved for Scotland. Some decent spells of sunshine for
:07:10. > :07:15.western areas. In the afternoon, that rain in the South, that will
:07:16. > :07:19.start to push into Northern Ireland. The best of the drier spells likely
:07:20. > :07:23.towards the north and the West. Generally drier for many of us for
:07:24. > :07:25.Tuesday and Wednesday before the next batch of wet and windy weather
:07:26. > :07:29.arrives. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin is
:07:30. > :07:31.at a quarter past ten this evening.
