on settling down and turning warmer. That is all from the BBC News at | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Sectarian comments were wrong and regrettable, according to the | :00:00. | :00:37. | |
organisers. A school garden becomes the latest target for vandals. | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
Various destruction, most nights. We look at the best value ways to kit | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
out kids for the new school year. A new drive to market South Armagh as | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
a visitor destination. As the rugby problems is get ready for the new | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
season, we hear from the new Ulster captain. Full. More rain is | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
forecast. Sinn Fein has described comments | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
made onstage at The Ardoyne Fleadh in north Belfast as sectarian | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
and wrong. A member of Irish band The Druids | :01:17. | :01:17. | |
can be seen in a video telling the audience that British soldiers | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
in Ireland should go back to This is the band at the centre of | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
the controversy, the Druids. this statement. It was wrong, | :01:24. | :02:56. | |
regrettable and disappointing. The comments do not reflect the views of | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
the organisers. We will be reviewing our guidelines. I think intolerance | :03:02. | :03:13. | |
of any kind, whether it be Republican or a loyalist should be | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
rejected. The good people in Ardoyne would reject that type of | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
intolerance. One of the public bodies which funds the festival said | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
it was not in keeping with its values. It says some funding could | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
be held back depending on the outcome | :03:37. | :03:57. | |
An elderly woman has died after being knocked down by a lorry in | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Magherafelt. Eighty-one year old Rhoda Kearney was on Broad Street | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
when the accident happened shortly after midday. The police are | :04:05. | :04:05. | |
appealing for witnesses. The coroner said a horrific | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
combination of circumstances led to the death of a young girl. The | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
animal fell on top of her. Her family said they did not feel there | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
had family said they did not feel there | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
Here today we were hoping to get an accurate account of what happened to | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
our daughter. She deserved that. We want to learn from the mistakes is | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
still no other family has to go through the heartache we have | :04:40. | :04:40. | |
suffered. appealing for witnesses. | :04:41. | :04:59. | |
Derry say incidents of anti-social behaviour and intimidation there are | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
on the rise. In recent months vandals have burnt out vans | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
belonging to local companies and set fire to toys used by children at a | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
local nursery garden in the Creggan estate. Our North West Reporter, | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
Keiron Tourish, has more. In the latest incident a school was | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
targeted and a local shop was targeted by arsonists. A pizza | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
delivery van was hijacked and burnt out. There have also been a number | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
of fire started deliberately and school windows were broken. The | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
attacks had incensed local people. I think it is awful and a disgrace for | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
the area. They are letting themselves down. People think too | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
much of this place to see it go to the destruction like theirs. It is | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
awful the destruction that goes on. Most nights. It is a disgrace. And | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
going into a children's school, it is awful. I think it is terrible to | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
allow them to get away with it. It is mostly young people, winner of | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
the parents? -- where are the parents? Why are they not | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
accountable? Parents say they are concerned for the safety of their | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
children and want those responsible captured. One resident says elderly | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
residents are too afraid to walk to the shops because of young people. | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
It is just not on. People are intimidated. Something needs to be | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
done. The parents of these people, I want to know if they care. No one | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
from the police was available for interview but say they are | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
investigating and appeal for witnesses. The school authorities | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
and the wider community have called for an end to the anti-social | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
behaviour. They say it is having a detrimental effect on local people. | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
Staying in Derry. Keiron Tourish, has more. | :07:02. | :07:18. | |
A meeting is underway in Derry between the Deputy First Minister | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
and Northern Ireland's Chief Medical Officer. It follows last week's | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
controversial warning by the Health Minister, who said unless more money | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
is awarded to health the Executive could find someone else to do the | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
job. It's understood Martin McGuinness has asked Dr Michael | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
McBride to clarify which services could suffer if extra money can't be | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
found. Our Health Correspondent, Marie-Louise Connolly, can tell us | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
more. Doctor McBride will deliver a | :07:39. | :07:50. | |
description of the health service which will contain no political | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
bias. Derry is the location which is about to get to beg major health | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
services. Perhaps on his own home turf, it makes a difficult news for | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Martin McGuinness to hear that there could be a threat to these services. | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
He will also question whether the budget is being properly managed. | :08:16. | :08:25. | |
The DUP raise this question earlier. Health ministers are looking at | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
making savings. Is there any fact left in the system? You would think | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
not. We have paused the use of their private sector carrying out hip and | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
knee operations. I'm told they are looking at cutting the use of the | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
Balkans and agency staff. If they are being serious here, we are | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
talking about closing buildings. This includes emergency departments | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
as well. Has this issue been hijacked by politics? There is a lot | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
of jostling going on within the DUP but sources close to the DUP have | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
told me that the reaction of Edwin Poots was a reaction to getting | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
publicly chastised by Simon Hamilton. The question was not | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
caused overnight and will not be solved overnight either. Still to | :09:28. | :09:36. | |
come. Cutting the cost of school uniforms. We catch up with clever | :09:37. | :09:49. | |
shoppers. County Tyrone teenager who suffered head injuries in a quad | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
bike accident is hoping that others will learn from her experience. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
Rebekah Glass from Chile has told her story in a DVD that will be used | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
by the police to bring home the road safety message. Moments when | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
Rebekah's life changed forever. She was 14 when she went out with | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
friend. We were having so much finer and so we both had a serious | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
accident. She was in, for a month and had part of her brain and | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
moods. For years on, she has told her story in a DVD. I had an | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
accident and thought what if I could help people. I can maybe save lives. | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
No one knows how much that would mean to me if I could | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
No one knows how much that would of someone. I could prevent them | :10:43. | :10:43. | |
getting a head injury. Prevent what of someone. I could prevent them | :10:44. | :10:51. | |
happened to me happening to them. The police will use the DVD to | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
highlight the dangers of quad bikes. To come forward and tell your story | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
about how your foolishness and that moment of madness has had | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
repercussions for a lifetime for her. We're so grateful to | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
repercussions for a lifetime for and is people like her who are | :11:12. | :11:11. | |
prepared to help us to and is people like her who are | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
message of safety. It is not compulsory to wear a helmet when | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
raiding a quad bike. To use a public road, you must have a driving | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
raiding a quad bike. To use a public licence and insurance. Rebekah has | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
plans for the future but she will always have regrets. There are many | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
regrets from that night. I did not we're a. I have literally ruined my | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
life. Everything is different. I cannot explain how much I want my | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
life back to normal. As children get ready for | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
the start of the new school year, a leading charity says parents are | :11:54. | :11:56. | |
spending so much on new uniforms, But a shortage of money, | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
and the fashion for recycling, means second-hand clothes are more | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
popular than ever. It is just the jacket this mother | :12:04. | :12:13. | |
wanted in the school uniform swap shop. Social media alerts patient -- | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
parents to see what is on offer. They bring clothes children have | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
grown out of and can barter. They can get vouchers to use later. I am | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
a big believer in recycling and also the cost of school uniforms can be | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
quite high. I have two children going to school this year which | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
could have cost me ?200 to get them both outfitted. Ruby's mum did a | :12:43. | :12:56. | |
deal for her new school. I have a central nursery school jumper. We | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
got the primary one jumper. Do you mind doing swaps with other clothes? | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
Not as old, it is a good idea. Uniforms do not always get worn out | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
completely so I think it is good to swap things and make sure other | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
people can get the uniforms. The price of kitting out one child can | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
be ?200. The grants for needy families is a maximum of... The | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
grand scheme has been extended this year to get more help for a post | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
primarily pupils. The cost of uniforms shoots up when baddies are | :13:38. | :13:43. | |
on blazers and there are special design features, not to speak of | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
branding for the sports equipment. This means parents cannot go to the | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
local supermarket to buy the cheapest version. Because they have | :13:53. | :13:58. | |
not got the money to buy the uniforms that the full price in the | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
uniform shops in the town. If you have three children and you are | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
spending ?200 on a uniform, people do not have that money. This shop | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
says families have to spend so much on the uniforms, they are relying on | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
the charity to help out with food and fuel. It plans to set up a | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
recycling scheme across North Ireland. Recycling bins will be put | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
in the schools and pupils and parents will be encouraged to bring | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
in school uniforms or other items of clothing. We will sort them out and | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
recycle those that can be sold. The unicycle swap shop offers to teach | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
people how to repair uniforms as well. | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
For years it was known as 'Bandit Country' and that notoriety put many | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
But now the Heritage Lottery Fund has given just under | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
a million pounds to open up areas that were once the sites | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
of military installations and protect the unique landscape there. | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
Across the countryside of South Armagh, use the mementos of the | :15:05. | :15:20. | |
past. This is a place of outstanding natural beauty. The place is just | :15:21. | :15:41. | |
bursting with myths and legends. But it was also bursting with notoriety. | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
The IRA were active here throughout the trouble Troubles, giving it the | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
nickname of bandit country. In response the British army set up | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
many watchtowers which dominated the landscape. They are all gone now but | :15:59. | :16:12. | |
memories remain. Claymore mines would have been year. This man is a | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
Church of Ireland minister but he was a soldier in the 1990s and was | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
posted to Armagh. We are in a stunning part of the world. Terrible | :16:25. | :16:33. | |
things were done by all sides. A good soldier friend of mine in 1992 | :16:34. | :16:42. | |
was killed. It was only two months ago that I have been to his grave. | :16:43. | :16:51. | |
This is an area trying to build a new reputation. The Heritage lottery | :16:52. | :17:31. | |
began. Traces of past centuries can be found everywhere. | :17:32. | :17:32. | |
began. Traces of past centuries From Vancouver, Canada, 100 years old. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
They are blown away whenever you tell them, the foreign tourists love | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
this, the names on the graves, all about geology. | :17:52. | :18:12. | |
20 years ago this month the IRA declared a ceasefire, announcing an | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
end to its campaign of violence. In a series of special reports this | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
week, BBC Newsline looks back at the | :18:20. | :18:20. | |
the first report tomorrow night, our Home Affairs Correspondent, Vincent | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Kearney, traces the secret talks and contacts that laid the foundations | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
The countdown is on for the start of the pro 12 season. | :18:28. | :18:45. | |
Representatives of the four Irish provinces went head-to-head today. | :18:46. | :19:00. | |
Thomas was at today's official kick-off of the pro 12. It might | :19:01. | :19:12. | |
have been some of change at all start but if anyone represents | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
consistency within the setup it is Best. Players are always the first | :19:17. | :19:17. | |
to complain when something is not right but you have to give credit to | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
the Ulster Branch. They acted in surprising circumstances to put | :19:22. | :19:35. | |
something in praise. Best now has two balances captain as well as | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
being a key leader in international setup. It was difficult being away | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
for so long and then having to come back in and straightaway comeback in | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
a tackle the reins at Ulster, you don't get the same lag time into | :19:52. | :20:01. | |
it. You want to enjoy having the build-up to games. When | :20:02. | :20:12. | |
internationals are away and you need leaders, plenty of boys in that | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
squad will step up. Leinster have been a dominant force in recent | :20:18. | :20:25. | |
seasons and the back-to-back winners of this trophy could be set to | :20:26. | :20:33. | |
improve their star-studded squad yet further with the news that Jonny | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
Sexton could be returning to the Irish province. The fly half still | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
has a year to run on his contract with racing Metro but will become a | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
free agent next summer. Talks are ongoing, Johnny is in contact with | :20:44. | :20:44. | |
people in the environment very regularly. We would be quietly | :20:45. | :20:45. | |
confident that he regularly. We would be quietly | :20:46. | :20:48. | |
Leinster again. Hopefully that will not be too far away. Following the | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
retirement of Brian O'Driscoll, Leinster fans will be hoping that | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
the return come sooner rather than later. In football, Northern Ireland | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
international Jonny Evans will captain Manchester United tonight in | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
their capital cup game against MK dons. Evans sat out the opening | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
Premier League fixture against Swansea and Sunderland due to a leg | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
injury. He also missed the end of last season with a foot problem. | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
Northern Ireland's Commonwealth Games team has been honoured this | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
afternoon with a special reception at Belfast City Hall. Their tally of | :21:25. | :21:27. | |
two old, three silver and seven bronze medals in Glasgow was the | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
best haul since 1986 in Edinburgh. The boxes starred with nine of the | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
12 medals and for one of the youngest members of the team, the | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
achievement has just started to sink in. Unbelievable, even when I was | :21:43. | :21:44. | |
back home, people coming up to me in the street and in the town, | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
everywhere, saying I should have won. Everywhere I go now I am | :21:52. | :22:02. | |
recognised, I am starting to get used to it, this is only the start | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
of my career. I've got a big future ahead of me. Certainly does. A | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
successful bank holiday for some of our local motorcyclists. Erwin took | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
his second British super sport victory of the season by winning the | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
beach race yesterday. He was one of three local riders on the top step | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
of the podium. What a ride from this man, taking his | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
of the podium. What a ride from this year. Last year, Glenn Erwin didn't | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
think he would be able to race again this season because of a lack of | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
funding, but he repaid the friends who helped him in the best possible | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
way. His team can stop smiling and nor could he. -- can't stop. I was | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
trying to go slower at the end but my lap times were getting faster. | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
Massive thanks to the whole team. Irwin, now fourth in the | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
Championship, wasn't the only local rider celebrating in the difficult | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
conditions. This rider from Castle Rock lost the lead but he came | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
straight back to take a memorable victory. Head down, I was pushing | :23:07. | :23:20. | |
hard, not knowing if I was going to slow. I am made up with that. Andy | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
Reid does it. And two sixes -- to complete a successful day, Andy Reid | :23:24. | :23:39. | |
won the successful super stock race. Rory McIlroy's success might help | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
breed the next generation of golfers. Some of the most talented | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
young players have been competing at the very first Irish Junior open. | :23:48. | :23:54. | |
Nile Foster was at a golf club today. It might not be a major | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
Championship setting but for the next generation of Rory McIlroys it | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
felt like the real thing. Definitely an easier sell now that the players | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
are performing on one stage and getting the coverage they are. | :24:08. | :24:08. | |
an easier sell now that the players are performing on one stage Irish | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
golf is definitely the leading lights in world golf and long may it | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
continue. Hopefully some players in this Junior open will go on and do | :24:20. | :24:29. | |
big things. Much has been made of this battle. He has moved from the | :24:30. | :24:38. | |
glitz and glamour at the top of the hurling world to the Serena life of | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
being a caddie. When I see professionals, I don't like it when | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
they give out. -- the Serena life. I'm here, pushing a bag, I don't get | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
involved. He hits the ball himself, he reads the Greens, I just carry | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
the bag because I am here. I much prefer to be playing. I do give out | :25:04. | :25:17. | |
sometimes when it is not his fault but he takes it well, he knows his | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
stuff. He gives great advice and it really helps me. It is great to see | :25:24. | :25:24. | |
what kind of standard you need to get up to and what standard you had | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
to be. And one of these kids could be our next major star. Lee Johnson | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
won the be our next major star. Lee Johnson | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
won classic TT on the Isle of Man this afternoon. It has been a good | :25:36. | :25:48. | |
day outside, apparently. Let us hear from Barra Best about the weather. | :25:49. | :26:04. | |
Plenty of dry weather overnight with the skies clearing and in some | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
countries and areas, Cougar still. Tomorrow, a bright start with | :26:11. | :26:15. | |

pick up, especially for coastal areas. Cooler than today in quite a | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
few places, 16 degrees, but largely dry and if you are travelling | :26:40. | :26:42. | |
elsewhere, not a bad picture across much of Britain, decent sunshine for | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Northern areas, cloudier towards the south because of this area of low | :26:48. | :26:51. | |

and conduct during the day. Nudging towards us tomorrow evening. Before | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
then, plenty of dry weather out and about but then we have that cloud | :27:02. | :27:04. | |

Tomorrow evening and overnight, into Thursday morning. It'll be very mild | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
