week. Great, Peter, thanks very much. It | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
is Good evening. The headlines on BBC | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
Newsline. Details emerge of how budget cuts | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
could impact on our health service. A former US senator holds meetings | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
with the Executive parties in Belfast as another leading | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
American accuses politicians here The growing role social media is | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
playing in the hunt The loyalist reaction to the IRA | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
ceasefire - part two of our series on those | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
historic events twenty years ago. Find out what that is and why it led | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
to a local man's meltdown. Golf's Northern Ireland Open | :00:43. | :00:58. | |
is under way in Ballymena. Join me live for all the latest | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
at Galgorm castle. And be aware of heavy rain | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
and strong winds this evening. A warning's been issued by the | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
Met Office. The Health Minister has outlined | :01:06. | :01:07. | |
in black and white how the health service | :01:08. | :01:16. | |
will be impacted by potential cuts. Pay restraints | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
on health sector staff, cutting the number of agency medical staff | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
and further reducing expenditure on home care packages are | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
among the controversial measures. The paper, seen | :01:24. | :01:27. | |
by the BBC paints a stark picture. Our health correspondent | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Marie-Louise Connolly is We have been talking about | :01:31. | :01:46. | |
concerns, we have details. That's right. We have the details. This is | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
the health Minister's last-ditch attempt to keep the health service | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
as we know it in Northern Ireland. They are only proposals. As you | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
outlined there, the following cuts are included in the paper. Pay | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
restraint for health care staff with the warning saying that if these | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
cuts go through, it could cause industrial action. Cuts to agency | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
doctors and nurses which would of is the impact on wards. Major cuts to | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
care packages for the elderly. The domiciliary packages. And there | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
would be less money for drug therapy, like cancer, arthritis and | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
MS. And the round the clock labs would not be possible -- cardiac | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
centre would not be possible. The bigger picture that we have been | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
talking about is transforming our care, that is to transform Northern | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
Ireland's health service, taking services away from the hospital and | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
into the community. It is said that it would for -- cause a major | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
problem for that policy, I think it would be dead in the water if these | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
proposals go through. These proposals did not come about | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
overnight. After four years of keeping silence on the whole | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
controversy surrounding health at the moment, the former health | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
minister has folk -- broken his silence in an exclusive interview | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
with the BBC. He has been telling me about how he feels about the recent | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
controversy within the health service. | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
The health minister often found himself in the eye of the storm. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
Very little has changed since 2009 when talk of budget cuts brought | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
thousands of health workers out onto the streets. Five years later, | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
thousands of health workers out onto watching from the sidelines, he says | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
he can empathise with the man who took his place. I do have sympathy | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
for him. He is not getting the support he is entitled to from the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
wreckage of colleagues and I think we as the public expects to see that | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
happening now. It is very important that the Executive get behind the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
health minister and get behind the health service and find the money | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
that is required to keep the show on the road. Because if they don't, | :04:13. | :04:19. | |
lives will be lost. Responsibility for the budget in this Assembly is | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
responsibility for every party. Hardly a week went past without | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
someone criticising the management of the budget. I am extremely angry | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
about the way the health service has been treated. In 2011, the health | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
budget was slashed by ?300 million. Mr McGimpsey says that these | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
negative fails to grasp that the Executive -- that the budget must | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
reflect demand. The fact is, we know that demand is rising for health and | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
social care services in Northern Ireland. And you have to increase | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
the provision in order to meet that demand. How does party politics in | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
Northern Ireland damaged the running of a department, in particular | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
health? I constantly plead with other parties, let's not play | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
politics with the health service. We all need to work together to make | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
the health service work. And I have to say that those pleas fell on deaf | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
ears by and large. Next week, the health minister is expected before | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
the health committee. Explanations for previous actions will be | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
expected and indications as to how the service will be moved forward. | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
Of course he wants to make us look at the money which is ever ready | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
else's fold. But it is his plan and his fault and when it comes before | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
the committee next week, we will ask whether he has been interrogating | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
that plan and analysing its efficiency to work out why his plan | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
is causing problems. Both these ministers know what a poisoned | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
chalice running the health service can be and if no extra funding is | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
allocated, it is possible that a new person will be at the helm within | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
weeks. Now, there is renewed US involvement | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
in the peace process here. Gary Hart has become involved. A senior aide | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
to former President Bill Clinton accused Northern Ireland politicians | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
of what she called an abysmal abdication of leadership. Nancy | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
Soderberg said that unionists and nationalists were too stuck in the | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
past. It has been an entire generation and we are still arguing | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
about the past instead of how to desegregate schools, get trade going | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
and get a prosperous Northern Ireland. I think it is time that the | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
next generation get that chance and it is up to the leadership, or the | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
next generation of leaders, to do that. I asked Nancy Soderberg | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
whether she could see a way for Northern Ireland to move forward? | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
The proposals put forward by Richard Haass Lady process out pretty | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
clearly. -- lay the process out. It lets the healing begin but does not | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
prevent a conversation about the future. The former US senator, Gary | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
Hart, has been asked to meet local politicians and prepare a report for | :07:28. | :07:30. | |
the US Secretary of State, John Kerry. He has been holding talks | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
with the parties in Belfast. Gary Hart was remaining tight-lipped | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
about his trip to Belfast. No comment. He was talking to | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
politicians and he sought the nomination for president twice in | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
the 1980s. On the second occasion he withdrew from the race after | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
negative buzz -- publicity over his relationship with a model. The | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Richard Haass talks ended months ago and there was no political | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
agreement. So once again we have a visiting American meeting local | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
politicians in a Belfast hotel. But this is not Richard Haass two. Gary | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Hart is here at the request of John Kerry, he is not here to negotiate, | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
but simply to listen and learn. Today, Gary Hart was told by some | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
that politics here is in crisis. The reality is is that we are in quite a | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
troubled situation in terms of the Executive and I think it is | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
important that this was it gives people an opportunity to bring the | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
US administration up to date and also from our perspective, to focus | :08:45. | :08:52. | |
minds on the need for a need to change focus. Others warned the US | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
senator that there was little time to solve outstanding issues. We have | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
got a problem. Three years of elections, then Westminster | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
elections and the Stormont elections. The danger is that we | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
will see no progress because of that political cycle. Gary Hart was also | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
told that some people here are losing faith in politics. People are | :09:16. | :09:22. | |
disillusioned, disheartened. The two big parties are perceived by the | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
vast majority of the public to just be looking after themselves. So, | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
will the former senator returned after today? Some suggest that this | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
visit has to be a one-off. I think it has to be internal forward -- | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
going forward, this has to be internal to Northern Ireland. There | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
will be no return of Richard Haass. By tonight, Gary Hart will have met | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
the five Executive parties. He will have talks in London before | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
returning to the United States. The woman who died in a crash | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
in Carrickfergus last night was 53-year-old Heather Steele | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
from the area. The crash happened on the | :10:07. | :10:07. | |
Belfast Road. Two men were taken to hospital for | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
treatment but their injuries are not The road was closed overnight | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
but has now reopened. This is BBC Newsline - plenty | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
to come before seven including: It looks good, | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
so why did this dessert lead to We brought you a story on Tuesday | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
about the cost of school uniforms and how parents are using swap shops | :10:23. | :10:35. | |
and charities to save money. Well, | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
that certainly touched a nerve! BBC Newsline's Facebook page was | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
inundated with messages from viewers complaining | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
about the price of uniforms.. Our education correspondent | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Maggie Taggart reports now on some This website was inspired by a | :10:54. | :11:07. | |
parent who wants to murder that want to make sure unwanted school | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
uniforms are reused. This one, in Newry, which was set up to give away | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
household goods has been overwhelmed by requests for branded uniforms. It | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
seems to be year-on-year, the price of uniforms is increasing or the | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
level of what the school requires is increasing. First it | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
level of what the school requires is fleeces, or the thing -- all the | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
other things. People are saying they can't afford it. Sarah used | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
other things. People are saying they website and now she helps run it. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Everybody is in this predicament. There is only so much | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Everybody is in this predicament. do. You have to prioritise food for | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
your family before a branded school jumper. You have to prioritise your | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
food. There must be many families where outgrown uniforms are just | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
lying around and families elsewhere are finding it tough to afford the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
clothes that the schools insist on. The website to match them up. This | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
site offers free adverts The website to match them up. This | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
parents can use it to sell uniforms they don't need. I have had quite a | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
number of things on site and I have passed them on to a number of | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
number of things on site and I have families. That makes me feel good. | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
It is read positive. We have included the database of all schools | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
so anybody who wants to put items on the website can simply choose their | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
school, list what they have, and it is as simple as that. Guidance from | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
the Department for Education says that schools should eliminate | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
exclusive deals with the uniforms of pliers and make sure that uniforms | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
are available from high Street or Internet retailers. I have always | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
said that I will consider bringing in legislation to make sure that | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
schools allow a free market in provision of uniforms and equality | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
of access to that is maintained. And that cost is not prevent people | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
having access. Rather than complying with the guidelines, some schools | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
are accused of adding even more expensive items to their list. | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
20 years ago this week, the IRA announced that | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
Six weeks later, loyalist paramilitaries also declared | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
a ceasefire and offered abject and true remorse to the families of | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
In the second of our special reports on those historic events in 1994, | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
our home affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney looks | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
back at the unionist and loyalist reaction to the IRA announcement. | :13:39. | :13:48. | |
This was one of the founding members of the UVF. In 1994, he was chosen | :13:49. | :13:58. | |
to announce the loyalist paramilitary cease-fires. The main | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
loyalist military commanders will cease all hostilities as of 12 | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
midnight on Thursday 30th of October 1994. The announcement came six | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
weeks after the IRA had declared a cease-fire. But the loyalists insist | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
that they were not reacting to that move. There has always been an | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
argument that loyalist reacted. Loyalist has already decided that | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
they were going to call a cease-fire, it was a question of | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
when. Their difficulty was that it was not one, jewellers group, there | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
were a number of groups that had to be brought together. -- one | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
homogenous group. There were arguments about whether there should | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
be cease-fires or not. Not all loyalist agreed at the time. Jackie | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
McDonald is seen here attending an opening of a memorial garden last | :14:55. | :15:01. | |
month. It took place on the 20th anniversary of the IRA killings of | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
senior UDA members. They were shot just weeks after another senior UDA | :15:07. | :15:13. | |
members was killed in Lisburn. And just weeks before the IRA announced | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
its the fire -- cease-fire. Jackie McDonald believes that the IRA was | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
settling old scores before announcing a cease-fire and that the | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
loyalist should have retaliated first. I disagreed with it. And the | :15:28. | :15:34. | |
reason is exactly what I said, I think the IRA have decided to tie up | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
the loose ends. I don't agree with it. With hindsight, he says the | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
cease-fire declaration was the right move. The cease-fires, when they | :15:52. | :16:00. | |
were called and what has been done since means many lives have been | :16:01. | :16:03. | |
saved. That is something we all have to consider. Unionist political | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
leaders were deeply suspicious of the IRA statement and demanded that | :16:10. | :16:12. | |
its vast army of weapons had to be decommissioned. The only way that | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
you can prove that there would be a permanent cessation of violence is | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
by the SIS -- the surrender of their killing machine, their Semtex soars, | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
their guns, their mortars and their equipment. We were determined that | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
we would not be taken in by a false dawn. We needed to see the guns | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
going away in an organised way and they have to be support for the | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
police and the rule of law. Sinn Fein and the republican movement | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
only did that late in the day, 2006, 2007, at our resistance. When others | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
lead them into government while Sinn Fein -- while murders were being | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
carried out on the street. Some believe that a permanent IRA | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
cease-fire was inevitable. I hope that some who have influence with | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
the IRA will persuade them to make the next decisive step and maybe | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
hold permanent. I think they were an organisation that was an | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
organisation that was in floor -- was in flux. They weren't prepared | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
to face up to the truth of the situation, that they were not going | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
to get what they wanted. The 1994 IRA cease-fire collapsed 18 months | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
later when a huge bomb devastated Canary Wharf in London. A new | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
permanent cease-fire was declared in 1997 and decommissioning eventually | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
took place. The provisional IRA structures have been dismantled and | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
Republicans say it will never re-emerged. I cannot say that the -- | :17:52. | :18:03. | |
I can say that the war is over, that the -- they are never coming back. | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Paramilitary groups have also decommissioned but remain intact. | :18:08. | :18:17. | |
News just coming in. Two families from north Sudan have been targeted | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
in racist attacks in North Saddam. Children were sleeping at the time. | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
There were no injuries. The two homes each had a window | :18:26. | :18:33. | |
smashed around 2:30am today. The families are occupied by families | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
fleeing the conflict inside arm. The window that was broken still has not | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
been replaced. Elsewhere, the balloons are up because there is a | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
birthday party happening this evening this by the fact that the | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
house was attacked in the early hours. In the kitchen, the families | :18:49. | :18:53. | |
are busy cooking the meal. Here is Mohammed and his wife and here are | :18:54. | :19:00. | |
the chips. So tell me, the party is going on despite what happened, you | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
are not frightened? We don't know what to do exactly, but we don't | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
have any choice. We came from an unsafe country to live a normal life | :19:10. | :19:18. | |
like everyone else. This is my first year to celebrate with | :19:19. | :19:19. | |
you has elevated his birthday with you has elevated his birthday with | :19:20. | :19:28. | |
him? Yes, I left him in my country and he joined me in December and | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
this is my first celebration with him. | :19:35. | :19:35. | |
this is my first celebration with ourselves with this danger. Apart | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
from that, you have been living here ourselves with this danger. Apart | :19:41. | :19:53. | |
nice. They stay with my son, they are nice people. It has been a | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
little -- a big day for the Sun, a birthday party with his son -- with | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
his friends and a brick through the window. | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen - that's exactly what | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Saintfield man Iain Watters did after his baked Alaska flopped | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
Social media reaction was quick to follow. | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
Viewers were crying foul play and sabotage until the 31-year-old | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
contestant took to Twitter to concede he'd had a meltdown. | :20:21. | :20:22. | |
Ian isn't happy. It has all melted. The blame kicks in. Why does the | :20:23. | :20:46. | |
eyes can out of the freezer? Don't you just hate it when that happens? | :20:47. | :20:57. | |
That is not cooking. -- why does the ice come out of the freezer. | :20:58. | :21:10. | |
That is not cooking. -- why does the baked Alaska flopped. Oh, no! People | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
are saying it sabotage. The Assembly might even look into it. I won't | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
comment on that. The cameras pick up every single mistake you make. They | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
swoop in on every single minute that you are doing anything. So I feel | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
for him. It is a bit of a fashion right now. But it is technical so | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
you don't see many restaurants doing it. You have to have an | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
understanding of basic pastry before you attempt something like this. Do | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
you do melba toast? Yes. I am going to try it. Yummy! Do you want a wee | :21:47. | :21:59. | |
bit? Very nice. The Women's Institute know a thing or two about | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
baking. What would they do with their baked Alaska flopped? I think | :22:04. | :22:11. | |
in the wartime, they didn't throw anything out, so it is kind of the | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
way that we have been educated, we would just in custard on it and | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
smile! You are pushing the boat out with the old Swan, aren't you? | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
Baking is serious business. Diana doesn't appear in the rest of the | :22:29. | :22:36. | |
series because of ill health. The removal of ice cream from the | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
freezer was in no way responsible for Ian's departure. | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
And yes, there was a hungry cameraman! Now let's get the sport. | :22:46. | :22:56. | |
We are at the Northern Ireland open. Storm clouds gathering? | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Yes, but let's hope the rain doesn't come here soon. | :23:04. | :23:25. | |
This is a breeding ground for stars of the future. Somebody you should | :23:26. | :23:34. | |
keep an eye on. Sweden's player who produced an amazing performance. He | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
shot a course record of nine under par to lead the magician. A | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
fantastic -- to lead the competition. If fantastic | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
performance. Chris, why has the club decided to | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
bring this prestigious tournament back to Northern Ireland? We held in | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
last year for the first time and it attracted thousands of visitors. So | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
together with our sponsors, we decided to hold it again this year. | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
This tour is fantastic. It has exposure to 440 million people | :24:13. | :24:15. | |
internationally. It protects and develops the brand of Northern | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
Ireland golfer which is very important. We have some great | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
players playing at the moment and some very important people want to | :24:24. | :24:30. | |
keep it going. One of the established stars of Northern | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
Ireland is playing. It is fantastic to have Michael involved right from | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
the beginning. As I said last night, the lovely thing is that you get the | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
whole family as well. So it is a real clue for us. And not just golf | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
here this weekend, you are hoping to attract 45,000 people? Yes, many | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
have registered so far for the food fest at the castle. That opens at 12 | :25:04. | :25:11. | |
tomorrow. We have eight mini breweries doing beer and cider. | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
There were 18 brands. We have 15 food suppliers there. We have five | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
food stalls. We have lots of activities for children and the | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
whole family. And we have the garden centre has well. So when the | :25:26. | :25:28. | |
children get fed up with watching golf, they can go up there! Sounds | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
great! . Tickets are free. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's Gareth | :25:33. | :25:46. | |
Maybin is joint leader The Ballyclare man shot a five under | :25:47. | :25:48. | |
par round of 67 to sit joint top of the leader board at the end of | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
the first round in Turin alongside Let's find out about the weather. | :25:54. | :26:18. | |
Now news about storms. It has been confirmed by climatologists that | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
last year was the stormiest four 140 years. You may remember winds | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
battering the coast, bringing down power lines. Scientists carried out | :26:27. | :26:38. | |
the research. Back to the storms that are heading our way tonight. We | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
have some strong winds and heavy rain. The Met office has issued a | :26:44. | :26:48. | |
weather warning. So be prepared for some possible disruption caused by | :26:49. | :26:52. | |
that. The rain will sweep eastwards. Some of it will be quite heavy. It | :26:53. | :26:57. | |
was clear away through the early hours of Friday but it will be not | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
be completely dry afterwards. There will be showers and spells of rain. | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
Temperatures for some of us will not fall very low. That brings us to | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
