:00:00. > :00:00.spells and it will get warmer -- sunny spells. A story with a happy

:00:00. > :00:16.ending. Now

:00:17. > :00:18.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline.

:00:19. > :00:20.No sign of a solution to the health budget crisis.

:00:21. > :00:35.We hear from those at the sharp end of medical care.

:00:36. > :00:36.And from inside this emergency department.

:00:37. > :00:39.I'm live with those working on the front line who say further

:00:40. > :00:52.20 years after the first IRA cease-fire, how much have things

:00:53. > :00:56.changed on the border? I've come to Newry to find out.

:00:57. > :00:58.Ahead of the weekend's All Ireland Gaelic Football semi-final we look

:00:59. > :01:03.And as we start the last weekend of summer 2014, it looks

:01:04. > :01:06.like we can expect a good deal of dry weather, but not all the time.

:01:07. > :01:11.Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:01:12. > :01:13.The crisis at the health service over budget

:01:14. > :01:19.Last night, we brought details of the services the Health Minister

:01:20. > :01:23.Edwin Poots believes he will have to sacrifice unless he gets more money

:01:24. > :01:28.from the Assembly, among them, cuts to care packages for the elderly,

:01:29. > :01:32.pay freezes for staff and fewer agency staff. Tonight,

:01:33. > :01:36.we'll bring you the views of those already under pressure.

:01:37. > :01:38.Our health correspondent Marie Louise Connolly is at

:01:39. > :01:55.It is an emergency Department, just like this one, which would feel the

:01:56. > :01:59.impact of those cuts first. If they do go ahead. The man who runs this

:02:00. > :02:04.department here is Sean McGovern, thank you for joining us. Today your

:02:05. > :02:09.colleagues have described those potential cuts as catastrophic. Is

:02:10. > :02:15.that how you see it? I wouldn't use those terms. I would say they are

:02:16. > :02:21.challenging. These cuts, reported to be around ?140 million, represents

:02:22. > :02:25.3.4% of the budget, so it is a significant amount of money. We have

:02:26. > :02:31.heard a lot of doom and gloom forecast this week, but let's look

:02:32. > :02:36.forward. If the cuts go ahead, how would the Department or hospital

:02:37. > :02:42.cope? We have a number of recommendations in relation to this

:02:43. > :02:48.scenario where you could consider the GPs working here, or recruiting

:02:49. > :02:53.staff from other areas coming into the emergency department as

:02:54. > :02:57.training, and the advancement of nurse practitioners. Will there be

:02:58. > :03:03.money to facilitate that? We have to look at this in the round. It is up

:03:04. > :03:06.to the politicians, the public and professionals to prioritise what

:03:07. > :03:11.they want from the health care service, and to keep focusing on

:03:12. > :03:14.patient outcomes. What can the public to do help themselves as the

:03:15. > :03:18.winter pressures loom? There's a number of patients that comment

:03:19. > :03:25.because of frustration with their GP. -- that come in. If they didn't

:03:26. > :03:32.come here, that would alleviate the pressure is on urgency departments.

:03:33. > :03:36.Thank you for that. At Lee, what happens in here impacts on those in

:03:37. > :03:43.the community. -- ultimately, what happens here. Our correspondent has

:03:44. > :03:50.been meeting some of those anti-receiving care but two are

:03:51. > :03:53.calling for speedy action. Type 1 diabetes requires constant

:03:54. > :03:58.monitoring. With most patients being seen by day but it nurse in the

:03:59. > :04:02.first year. But for some appointment delays mean an anxious wait. It's

:04:03. > :04:06.supposed to be reviewed every three months, but I saw her last in March

:04:07. > :04:12.this year and I was due another appointment in June or July. I

:04:13. > :04:20.didn't get an appointment. When I rang, they said they couldn't get an

:04:21. > :04:24.appointment until December. So, instead of having three monthly

:04:25. > :04:26.appointments, it is going to be and nine monthly appointment. In a

:04:27. > :04:49.statement, the trust said.... The patient inclined council here

:04:50. > :04:52.says that from April 2013, to August this year, it received 363

:04:53. > :04:59.complaints about general waiting times. It is feared this will get

:05:00. > :05:02.worse. This resource Centre in Londonderry provides a range of

:05:03. > :05:06.services to the elderly and they, too, could be under threat. One

:05:07. > :05:11.manager says mixed messages about care in the community are not

:05:12. > :05:18.helping. The Department of Health and the Assembly are cutting

:05:19. > :05:22.services to older people. It is a massive contradiction, and a massive

:05:23. > :05:27.impact on older people in the next 10-15 years. And it will be a cut

:05:28. > :05:34.too far for many here. It's difficult, so it is. I would like to

:05:35. > :05:42.have seen more things for the older people, older pensioners. And to

:05:43. > :05:53.brighten up their lives. It is a message she hopes will be heard at

:05:54. > :05:59.Stormont. These cuts will affect those in hospital and out in the

:06:00. > :06:05.community. Linda Robinson is with me. Can you envisage the domiciliary

:06:06. > :06:11.care packages which could also be cut being pushed even further to the

:06:12. > :06:16.edge? Age and I are saying they are at the brink. People are waiting

:06:17. > :06:19.with complex needs and dementia at home for these care packages,

:06:20. > :06:24.individuals who are saying fair packages have been cut, and it is

:06:25. > :06:32.about cutting those individuals that are living at home. There isn't very

:06:33. > :06:38.much can do inside 15 minutes, is the? Very little, and you will know

:06:39. > :06:41.that there is very little you can do particularly with someone with

:06:42. > :06:49.dementia or physical needs, which means it isn't to get to the toilet,

:06:50. > :06:53.get breakfast or get to bed. The road map for care in Northern

:06:54. > :06:58.Ireland was about transforming your care. How viable, rarely, now is

:06:59. > :07:03.that road plan if these cuts no ahead? I think there are lots of us

:07:04. > :07:07.that will be challenging and saying that where is transforming your

:07:08. > :07:12.care? This road map doesn't look like it is transforming anyone's

:07:13. > :07:16.care. We wanted to keep people at home for longer with good quality

:07:17. > :07:21.care, and these cuts do not reflect that. Thank you. We've had the views

:07:22. > :07:24.this evening of those clinicians inside a hospital setting like this,

:07:25. > :07:30.and also the impact of those potential cuts out and about in the

:07:31. > :07:33.community. It is quite for a Friday evening but the extra staff are

:07:34. > :07:41.about to start their shift, and it will get it easier.

:07:42. > :07:43.Well, to put some of the spending debate in context,

:07:44. > :07:45.our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell is here.

:07:46. > :07:47.Let's start with the health department budget, wasn't

:07:48. > :07:56.It was protected. Thinking back to 2011, the Executive was facing a

:07:57. > :08:02.tough spending environment, all departments were going to face 8%

:08:03. > :08:06.cuts. The Executive decided health was too important, the budget would

:08:07. > :08:10.continue to rise by the rate of inflation every year, which is what

:08:11. > :08:15.has happened, and as a result of the departments have had faced up to 20%

:08:16. > :08:23.cuts. At health was protected in the 2011 budget. If that's the case, why

:08:24. > :08:29.has this current process, about? -- current crisis, about? Some would

:08:30. > :08:33.say the health executive hasn't been good with managing its budget. But

:08:34. > :08:36.there are other factors at play. There is limitless demand for health

:08:37. > :08:40.services and all health systems across the world face this problem

:08:41. > :08:44.of these demands. And there are issues about how the population is

:08:45. > :08:50.changing, it is growing with many more older people, which means there

:08:51. > :08:54.are more expensive conditions to treat and last longer. The rate of

:08:55. > :08:58.increase in spending tends to face greater pressures than other

:08:59. > :09:02.services, and it is also useful to look at the UK spending context for

:09:03. > :09:15.health. Some research carried out lately said that between 2000-20 --

:09:16. > :09:19.2009, the spending cuts were open. The -- they said we spent more on

:09:20. > :09:29.people. But spending started to fall

:09:30. > :09:30.2009-2011. They give you a good idea of the context of what is really

:09:31. > :09:39.happening to health spending. What's the picture over the coming

:09:40. > :09:46.months and years? There will be cuts to public services budgets up until

:09:47. > :09:49.2018 - 2019, and that is unavoidable. What is going to happen

:09:50. > :09:53.in the next couple of months is there is another spending round in

:09:54. > :10:04.Stormont. There will be another round of budget there. We will need

:10:05. > :10:08.a four year budget, and a lot of work will be completed by Christmas.

:10:09. > :10:11.Given the political difficulties we have at Stormont, it will be a big

:10:12. > :10:18.challenge for the Stormont to agree on the budget.

:10:19. > :10:20.We asked for an interview with Simon Hamilton but he was unavailable.

:10:21. > :10:23.So, what will it take at a political level to resolve this

:10:24. > :10:27.It's not the first time our politicians have been confronted

:10:28. > :10:31.Kevin Sharkey's been getting the views

:10:32. > :10:41.This is in the first time there's been a funding shortage but this

:10:42. > :10:44.time the impact is more serious. How can our politicians resolve their

:10:45. > :10:49.differences and provide the money needed to avert cutbacks? This

:10:50. > :10:56.former political adviser believes the problem must be addressed as a

:10:57. > :11:01.single issue. If the health funding crisis and other issues to do with

:11:02. > :11:05.budgets are drawn into a discussion around parades, flags, and he

:11:06. > :11:11.passed, then I think we could have a real problem because that intensity

:11:12. > :11:17.and complexity of the negotiation is very difficult to resolve, so they

:11:18. > :11:21.need to deal with these issues on health now, and they need to deal

:11:22. > :11:25.with them away from any other issues in order to get them resolved.

:11:26. > :11:28.Politicians don't always agree at Stormont but there have been times

:11:29. > :11:33.when the parties have managed to work out a way forward like the foot

:11:34. > :11:37.and mouth crisis during a previous administration. There was total

:11:38. > :11:42.corporation. I didn't experience any attempt at party political scoring.

:11:43. > :11:48.Everyone worked together and that is how you face a crisis. You face a

:11:49. > :11:52.crisis like I did, and this should be phased by all the parties working

:11:53. > :11:56.together. The public will watch to see of that kind of cross-party

:11:57. > :12:00.Corporation helps to resolve this health crisis. Many people,

:12:01. > :12:05.including politicians, will be returning to work in September. One

:12:06. > :12:07.thing is for sure. The politicians are returning to Stormont with a lot

:12:08. > :12:15.The Republic's Justice minister, Frances Fitzgerald,

:12:16. > :12:17.has said she's disturbed by a report that, within the last

:12:18. > :12:19.year, a member of the Gardai texted sensitive information to

:12:20. > :12:23.It's understood the information was about two dissident suspects

:12:24. > :12:29.For more, we're joined now by our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison.

:12:30. > :12:36.Details are still emerging on this story, what's the latest?

:12:37. > :12:46.Well, this is highly embarrassing for the Garda, coming less than 12

:12:47. > :12:51.months that an unnamed officer had passed on information to the IRA

:12:52. > :12:55.about the murders of two senior RUC officers in the 1980s pollution. In

:12:56. > :13:00.this latest incident of alleged collusion, it's reported that a

:13:01. > :13:05.rogue officer text did the IRA about two dissident republicans being held

:13:06. > :13:11.in custody within the past 12 months. The man at the centre of

:13:12. > :13:15.this has reportedly left the force. But it is understood from the

:13:16. > :13:19.Department of Justice that he is under criminal investigation at the

:13:20. > :13:22.moment in relation to this and in relation to another matter. No

:13:23. > :13:27.disciplinary action was taken against him whilst he was still a

:13:28. > :13:29.serving officer, and the Justice Minister has asked the acting

:13:30. > :13:30.commissioner for a full report on the matter.

:13:31. > :13:33.Thank you. The 20th anniversary of the first

:13:34. > :13:36.IRA ceasefire is on Sunday. This week on BBC Newsline,

:13:37. > :13:38.we've been looking back Tonight,

:13:39. > :13:41.we're looking at the impact. Mark Simpson has been to Newry to

:13:42. > :13:44.see how more peaceful times have changed life in the city

:13:45. > :14:07.on the border. The cease-fire has changed the

:14:08. > :14:13.landscape here. Within ten years, house prices have troubled. Some

:14:14. > :14:18.development land was selling for ?1 million an acre. Today there are

:14:19. > :14:22.still flags on lamp posts, but they are new flags, flying for pride

:14:23. > :14:28.weekend. So much has changed in the past 20 years. During the dark days

:14:29. > :14:33.of the Troubles, this was an all too familiar sight. Death and

:14:34. > :14:38.destruction in Newry. Hill Street was, and is, one of the main

:14:39. > :14:43.shopping streets. This man runs a shoe shop here. His son Gregory was

:14:44. > :14:48.born just before the cease-fire. This family business has been here

:14:49. > :14:54.in good times and in bad. We were burnt down, collateral damage from

:14:55. > :14:57.bombs, in the 70s and 80s. They were dreadful days. You never knew

:14:58. > :15:02.whether you are going to be open, you never knew whether you are going

:15:03. > :15:05.to get a full day's trading. We experience things outside our door

:15:06. > :15:11.that no human should see at any stage of their lives, and I always

:15:12. > :15:17.aspired for Newry to be the same as London, to be the same as Brighton,

:15:18. > :15:21.Norwich, Liverpool. That they would have the selection of shops, that it

:15:22. > :15:25.would have the selection of people, that it would be an open and

:15:26. > :15:30.welcoming society. And I have to say I feel we have achieved that.

:15:31. > :15:35.Gregory, when you hear the stories of what Newry is to be like, what do

:15:36. > :15:39.you think? It's almost like this imaginary nightmare world that I

:15:40. > :15:43.have no experience of. So it is strange to have something is strange

:15:44. > :15:47.to have so foreign because I work in the shop here from time to time as

:15:48. > :15:52.well, so for me to imagine people from the army running past, or bombs

:15:53. > :15:57.going off, it's so strange so I don't know how to feel about it.

:15:58. > :16:01.I've heard it so many times, it has normalised it for me. This used to

:16:02. > :16:05.be a normal site around Newry, and 20 years ago, large military

:16:06. > :16:10.watchtowers surrounded the border roads. Not any more. The border, of

:16:11. > :16:15.course, is still here, it's just more difficult to see, and what the

:16:16. > :16:20.past 20 years have brought is more cross-border traffic, and with it

:16:21. > :16:25.more cross-border business. This Newry cafe opened the right time,

:16:26. > :16:30.just before the cease-fire. Run by five sisters back in 1994, there

:16:31. > :16:34.were very different negotiations going on here. Even from deciding

:16:35. > :16:42.what soup we would be making the next day, that would be discussed in

:16:43. > :16:47.depth. And it didn't matter. You are mindful of what was going on in the

:16:48. > :16:52.news, and we hoped for a solution, and hoping for peace. We knew that

:16:53. > :16:56.to some day we thought we were going to get married and have kids, and I

:16:57. > :16:59.wanted to think they would be brought up in a different

:17:00. > :17:04.environment that I grew up in. They started with one coffee shop. They

:17:05. > :17:09.now have six. Phenomenal business over the last decade. We have been

:17:10. > :17:16.through it all. Like everywhere else, it ebbs and flows, things have

:17:17. > :17:22.slowed down, but not that much. In the space of 20 years, Newry has

:17:23. > :17:23.gone from being a town to a city. It's more confident, more colourful,

:17:24. > :17:31.and more upbeat. Previously confidential files have

:17:32. > :17:33.revealed that the Northern Ireland Office had concerns

:17:34. > :17:35.about Margaret Thatcher's commitment Official papers from 1985, which

:17:36. > :17:41.have just been released, show that senior figures from the Secretary

:17:42. > :17:44.of State Tom King to the Head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service

:17:45. > :18:01.believed the deal offered more to Within days of the agreement,

:18:02. > :18:06.Margaret Thatcher outed her advisers by being uncertain as to whether or

:18:07. > :18:10.not she would defend the agreement. This is very disturbing. And with

:18:11. > :18:14.Tom King, who is trying to roll back on the negotiations which have been

:18:15. > :18:18.progressed by his predecessor, Douglas Hurd, he's not happy about

:18:19. > :18:23.an Irish presence in Belfast in terms of the secretary at, he

:18:24. > :18:26.doesn't want the Irish government involved in parades, and he believes

:18:27. > :18:33.much more has been given to the Irish than the British. And,

:18:34. > :18:41.finally, the long-standing top civil servant, he discovers what is in the

:18:42. > :18:44.agreement. He sees it as one-sided. And almost fell to destabilise

:18:45. > :18:46.rather than stabilise the political situation.

:18:47. > :18:49.Thieves have tried to steal an ATM in Castlerock in the early hours

:18:50. > :18:52.It's thought that the tractor of a lorry was stolen

:18:53. > :18:55.from the Newmills Road in Coleraine and then driven to a petrol station

:18:56. > :18:59.It was reversed into the building a number of times

:19:00. > :19:04.The lorry was found at premises at the Garvagh Road this morning and

:19:05. > :19:07.We heard this week how scientists have used state

:19:08. > :19:10.of the art technology to try to discover just why sheepdogs are

:19:11. > :19:16.But next month we'll find out just which of them, the animals that is,

:19:17. > :19:18.not the scientists, is literally top dog at the world

:19:19. > :19:31.Our reporter Gordon Adair has been to the Mournes to meet one entrant.

:19:32. > :19:38.Sheep. They can be an unruly lot. They have to be watched closely,

:19:39. > :19:43.like this. But these particular sheep don't realise that they are

:19:44. > :19:51.under the gaze of a potentially world beating team in Jim and his

:19:52. > :19:57.dog. There is only a few of them that have that extra ability, it is

:19:58. > :20:04.just think they have got or haven't got. A good dog has that extra

:20:05. > :20:08.ability of doing things better. Has a good way with sheep. A cautious

:20:09. > :20:12.approach and that type of thing. When you're walking the dog, you

:20:13. > :20:17.find out which ones have it and which ones don't. The pair will

:20:18. > :20:23.travel to the world sheepdog trials next week. This year, they are being

:20:24. > :20:26.held in Scotland as part of the year-long homecoming event. There's

:20:27. > :20:30.people all over the world, people from all over the world that go to

:20:31. > :20:34.the World Championship. And it is anybody's guess. Dogs are used

:20:35. > :20:39.everywhere and they are becoming more popular in different

:20:40. > :20:43.countries. The trialling is getting more popular and there is more

:20:44. > :20:47.often. What about these robots we have heard mentioned on the news?

:20:48. > :20:52.They seem to think that they can work out the patterns that sheepdogs

:20:53. > :20:55.can use. What do you think about them? I'd love to see them in the

:20:56. > :21:01.mountains! Now, it's a big weekend of sport,

:21:02. > :21:05.not least in Gaelic football, with former all Ireland winner with me to

:21:06. > :21:15.look ahead. Sunday sees the winners

:21:16. > :21:18.of the last two All Ireland Donegal, who won the title two years

:21:19. > :21:22.ago, face current holders Dublin at To look forward to the game,

:21:23. > :21:31.joining us is Oisin McConvill, Everybody says that this is a

:21:32. > :21:36.straightforward Dublin win. Can the Ulster champions spring a surprise?

:21:37. > :21:39.It's going to be tough for them to spring a surprise. Dublin have been

:21:40. > :21:46.hugely impressive all year, Donegal not so. I think the intriguing thing

:21:47. > :21:49.is what Donegal are going to bring to the table and the thing that

:21:50. > :21:55.people are looking forward to. As games go, this is the one everybody

:21:56. > :22:01.wants to see. What Donegal going to do? Are they going to play with 15

:22:02. > :22:07.defenders? Their style of play is often deemed by many to be negative.

:22:08. > :22:11.Can you see them being more adventurous? No, I can't. If

:22:12. > :22:19.anything, they're going to be even more defensive. Chances like this,

:22:20. > :22:23.they are going to be key. Any chance Donegal get, they are going to take

:22:24. > :22:32.it. That is the chance they have now. Dublin, people have built up to

:22:33. > :22:40.be unbeatable, but I don't know if that is the case. Donegal is the one

:22:41. > :22:47.team that can test them. If Donegal are going to win, who were the key

:22:48. > :22:51.players? If Donegal want to win, they need to get Michael Murphy on

:22:52. > :22:57.the ball a lot. He is a player that turns games. There are very few

:22:58. > :23:01.people that can grab a game by the scruff of the neck, and he is one of

:23:02. > :23:06.those that can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and get his team

:23:07. > :23:09.over the line. They will be very low reliant on him. Thank you.

:23:10. > :23:12.World number one Rory McIlroy has continued his hot streak of form.

:23:13. > :23:14.He's playing in the opening round of the Deutsche Bank Championship

:23:15. > :23:17.And today got off to a flyer, with birdies on three

:23:18. > :23:23.After this incredible approach on the first, he then holed

:23:24. > :23:37.He is currently on two under par which leaves him four shots off the

:23:38. > :23:40.lead going into the weekend. Another great effort thereby Rory McIlroy.

:23:41. > :23:42.Stuart Olding will play his first game for Ulster

:23:43. > :23:45.in ten months after being selected in the starting 15 to face Leinster

:23:46. > :23:48.He's been out since November after rupturing a cruciate ligament.

:23:49. > :23:51.The inter-provincial clash tomorrow is Ulster's last pre-season match

:23:52. > :23:53.before the start of the new Guinness Pro12 season, when they will face

:23:54. > :24:08.It is a rivalry is so fierce that even Kermit has been forced to

:24:09. > :24:12.choose sides. Along with that star backing, the bragging rights have

:24:13. > :24:16.belonged to Leinster. Time after time, they have blocked Ulster's

:24:17. > :24:21.path to silverware but Ulster are desperate to reverse this trend, and

:24:22. > :24:25.in Interprovincial is the perfect way to lead into the campaign. You

:24:26. > :24:30.are playing the current champions. The most successful club in Europe

:24:31. > :24:34.over the last five or six years, so you are playing top opposition. If

:24:35. > :24:38.you can go away from home and put in a performance and beat a team like

:24:39. > :24:43.that, it leaves you in good stead. They say it is a preseason friendly,

:24:44. > :24:48.but I've have never known an Ulster-Leinster game that was a

:24:49. > :24:52.friendly! There will be a lot of collisions, a lot of opportunity for

:24:53. > :25:03.people on different sides. Ulster's up-and-coming talent has caught the

:25:04. > :25:11.eye drink preseason. -- caught the eye cheering preseason. You couldn't

:25:12. > :25:17.fault the work ethic of the younger eyes. Sometimes you have to

:25:18. > :25:20.structure and is outside of rugby and that is going to be the big

:25:21. > :25:27.challenge for them. Rugby, nothing else. For the newcomers and seasoned

:25:28. > :25:30.pros, total focus will be required at the Stadium tomorrow afternoon.

:25:31. > :25:34.The Coleraine brothers Richard and Peter Chambers have reached

:25:35. > :25:36.the World Championship rowing final on Sunday as part of the

:25:37. > :25:39.GB Lightweight Four crew. You can see them go for gold live

:25:40. > :25:42.on BBC Two this Sunday. Finally, we'll have results and

:25:43. > :25:46.goals from tonight's local football matches on our later bulletin.

:25:47. > :25:57.Now the weekend weather. Some of us got more wet weather than others.

:25:58. > :26:02.Many of us will enjoy dry spells during the evening. Some rain

:26:03. > :26:08.threatening the north coast. Most of us stay dry. It will be a mild

:26:09. > :26:13.night. A little bit breezy and the winds stay with us until Saturday

:26:14. > :26:18.but it isn't a bad day. Largely dry with some sunny spells coming and

:26:19. > :26:21.going. The best of the sunshine tomorrow morning. Brisk winds

:26:22. > :26:25.towards the north coast. By the time we move into the afternoon, there is

:26:26. > :26:29.a thin band of showers coming in from the West, pushing eastwards,

:26:30. > :26:34.and some of us might avoid them altogether. If you get one, a

:26:35. > :26:46.shouldn't be too heavy. It will brighten up getting into the middle

:26:47. > :26:48.of the afternoon. If you're travelling, it would have unsettled

:26:49. > :26:50.weather across Scotland, Wales and the central areas of England.

:26:51. > :26:53.Elsewhere, dry and bright. For much of Ireland, looking at a dry

:26:54. > :26:56.picture, one for the outdoors. Northern Ireland tomorrow evening,

:26:57. > :27:00.some showers, eventually they will clear and a few of us will enjoy

:27:01. > :27:05.some evening sunshine. Overnight into Sunday, the cloud comes in with

:27:06. > :27:11.scattered showers. The temperature hold up to about 11 or 12, so not

:27:12. > :27:16.too bad at promising start with a fair amount of cloud. Through the

:27:17. > :27:21.day, we have this weak front coming in, bringing some stronger winds

:27:22. > :27:24.during the day and some patchy light rain and drizzle, so prepare

:27:25. > :27:28.yourself. By the evening, trying up in the West, with some sunshine is

:27:29. > :27:33.developing. Once the wet weather clears away, for Monday, choose day

:27:34. > :27:40.on Wednesday, we have little or no rain, and then we expect

:27:41. > :27:42.temperatures to climb up to the mid-20s.

:27:43. > :27:47.Our late summary is at 10:25pm. You can also keep in contact with
