:00:15. > :00:22.A big job loss for the Belfast aerospace company Bombardier.

:00:23. > :00:26.MLAs meet behind closed doors to discuss a report on the conduct of

:00:27. > :00:33.How real are the fears of a Stormont collapse - another crisis or

:00:34. > :00:36.Plus, the ordeal of a woman taxi driver

:00:37. > :00:43.He thought he might never play in the new Ravenhill,

:00:44. > :00:47.but Ulster rugby's Stuart Olding is raring to go again.

:00:48. > :00:50.And there may be a few visibility issues in the morning, but it

:00:51. > :01:05.The aerospace company Bombardier is cutting almost 400 jobs.

:01:06. > :01:09.The job losses are part of a major reorganisation which will see the

:01:10. > :01:13.Canadian-owned firm shedding 1,800 staff across its global operations.

:01:14. > :01:19.Bombardier has been under pressure because of a series of delays

:01:20. > :01:24.The C-Series began flight tests again on Sunday after being grounded

:01:25. > :01:26.for more than three months following an engine failure.

:01:27. > :01:36.Our economics and business editor John Campbell reports.

:01:37. > :01:42.Bombardier is our biggest engineering employer. Around 6000

:01:43. > :01:47.people work across its four factories in greater Belfast. It

:01:48. > :01:51.supports many more jobs through the supply chain. But now it is getting

:01:52. > :01:56.a bit smaller as part of cost-cutting exercises. 390 jobs

:01:57. > :02:03.will be lost. The job losses are equivalent to about 6.5% of

:02:04. > :02:08.Bombardier's local workforce. 300 of the jobs lost and among temporary or

:02:09. > :02:13.contract staff. Over 90 will come from the permanent salvaged our. My

:02:14. > :02:15.understanding is those 90 jobs are maiming management roles and The

:02:16. > :02:20.company hopes to lose them through voluntary redundancy. The

:02:21. > :02:25.engineering union says there will be a knock-on effect. It is horrible

:02:26. > :02:29.for individuals who will lose jobs in the next couple of months. A

:02:30. > :02:35.devastating blow for them and their families. But for the economy, it is

:02:36. > :02:43.devastating also with the loss of so many good manufacturing jobs.

:02:44. > :02:48.Bombardier is shaking up operations. It is organising the Eagles make --

:02:49. > :02:53.aerospace business to become more focused and efficient. One local

:02:54. > :02:58.politician says The company still likes what it sees here. We met with

:02:59. > :03:05.senior management in the company and number of weeks ago. They indicated

:03:06. > :03:11.that it is an excellent plant and the type they want to open it out

:03:12. > :03:15.globally. But The company does have some big challenges, mainly to do

:03:16. > :03:19.with this, the C-Series. This jet is supposed to take on Boeing and

:03:20. > :03:23.Airbus but it has been hit with a series of expensive delays. The

:03:24. > :03:27.uncertainty around Bombardier will continue until this aeroplane gets

:03:28. > :03:28.into service and is ordered by more airlines.

:03:29. > :03:35.Joining me now from Westminster is the East Belfast MP Naomi Long.

:03:36. > :03:44.Deeply concerning news in your constituency this evening. Yes,

:03:45. > :03:47.absolutely. I am very concerned, particularly for the few hundred 90

:03:48. > :03:51.individuals facing redundancy. The first thing I did after speaking

:03:52. > :03:56.with Bombardier this morning was to contact my colleague, and he has

:03:57. > :04:04.spoken directly to senior management. -- 390 individuals.

:04:05. > :04:08.There will be 30 days of consultation to minimise the

:04:09. > :04:12.redundancies and find alternative employment for those facing

:04:13. > :04:16.redundancy. You say that you spoken to management. Did they give you

:04:17. > :04:22.reassurances of the future of the ten Mac to? They are very confident

:04:23. > :04:29.of the future, not just the C-Series but what they are working on it more

:04:30. > :04:35.generally. There were 1800 jobs in total that will be affected by this.

:04:36. > :04:40.This is the part affecting Northern Ireland. However, Bombardier are

:04:41. > :04:44.taking on new apprentices later in the autumn and that is a good sign

:04:45. > :04:50.in terms of planning for the medium to future. It is not alleviate the

:04:51. > :04:53.pain for those facing redundancy today but for remaining staff,

:04:54. > :04:58.there's a degree of optimism around the stability of the company and its

:04:59. > :05:03.investment in Northern Ireland. A major employer. A dependent are we

:05:04. > :05:07.on companies like Bombardier? When you look at Bombardier, even shared

:05:08. > :05:13.the jobs they are talking about losing today, they will still employ

:05:14. > :05:17.5800 people. Not directly, but also through contracts and so on. That is

:05:18. > :05:22.the tip of the iceberg in terms of the economy and the supply chain and

:05:23. > :05:25.also in terms of those who benefit from the economic outcome of that in

:05:26. > :05:31.local communities and so on. It is a very significant employer and we are

:05:32. > :05:35.relying on them. They are important to the economy and it is important

:05:36. > :05:38.we work with them to minimise the impact but also to make sure The

:05:39. > :05:45.company is fit for this and is competitive. So that it offers the

:05:46. > :05:48.kind of high-end, advanced manufacturing jobs that Northern

:05:49. > :05:52.Ireland really needs. Thank you for joining us.

:05:53. > :05:54.The Stormont Standards and Privileges Committee met

:05:55. > :05:56.behind closed doors this afternoon to discuss a report into

:05:57. > :05:59.the conduct of the First Minister Peter Robinson and his wife, Iris.

:06:00. > :06:01.Our political editor Mark Devenport is at Stormont now.

:06:02. > :06:11.Well, the Standards Commissioner has been investigating the issues raised

:06:12. > :06:26.in the Spotlight programme you might remember from four years ago. Full

:06:27. > :06:35.of -- four years ago. The BBC's Spotlight revealed

:06:36. > :06:45.sensational details about Iris Robinson 's actions with her

:06:46. > :06:48.19-year-old lover. Shortly afterwards, the Standards Committee

:06:49. > :06:51.ordered an investigation into the conduct of both Iris Robinson and

:06:52. > :06:56.her husband Peter. The report was delayed whilst police investigated

:06:57. > :07:01.the matter before deciding not to press charges. Last November, the

:07:02. > :07:05.Assembly Standards Commissioner completed his report. Its

:07:06. > :07:08.publication was delayed after a lawyer acting for Iris Robinson

:07:09. > :07:14.raise concerns that publishing some material might damage her health. My

:07:15. > :07:18.investigation was actually finished last year, but publication of the

:07:19. > :07:24.report submission of the report to the committee been delayed because

:07:25. > :07:27.of legal issues. Earlier this week, Standards Committee members were

:07:28. > :07:30.given a chance to examine the report on condition they did not take

:07:31. > :07:36.copies away from the Reading room. Stormont sources indicated clears

:07:37. > :07:39.the DUP leader, Peter Robinson, of any breach of the MLA code of

:07:40. > :07:45.conduct. However, it is suggested by this Robinson is found to have

:07:46. > :07:48.broken a rule by not declaring receiving the cash from developers

:07:49. > :07:53.and therefore risking a perception of a conflict of interest. No

:07:54. > :08:00.further details will emerge to from behind the closed doors meeting

:08:01. > :08:03.today. It is my understanding MLAs are considering taking legal advice

:08:04. > :08:07.about the publication of the report and whether that material which Iris

:08:08. > :08:10.Robinson's lawyer things could damage your health will be excised

:08:11. > :08:15.from any edition of the report made public. It is not the only story

:08:16. > :08:22.involving a BBC Spotlight investigation today.

:08:23. > :08:25.Yes, the programme is looking at the whole issue of expenses. We expect

:08:26. > :08:30.that to go to ear in the coming weeks. It is significant that the

:08:31. > :08:35.speaker here has issued a statement just late this afternoon. In this

:08:36. > :08:42.statement, he says what he says is fraud in his constituency office. He

:08:43. > :08:45.says the regular trend of payments involving his office cost

:08:46. > :08:50.expenditure have been brought to his attention and that he has the

:08:51. > :08:53.police. He says he has suspended a member of his constituency office

:08:54. > :08:57.staff pending the outcome of investigations. He does not identify

:08:58. > :09:00.any individual, so no-one should jump to any conclusion about

:09:01. > :09:04.wrongdoing on the part of any particular individual. The Assembly

:09:05. > :09:10.say they had been notified and will not make further comment about this.

:09:11. > :09:13.We know that he is cooperating with police and the investigation into

:09:14. > :09:16.these matters are at an early stage. The speaker says the system here

:09:17. > :09:21.will have to be examined in the future and that he takes

:09:22. > :09:24.responsibility for the fact that in his management of the affairs of his

:09:25. > :09:26.constituency office, he did not uncover what was happening at an

:09:27. > :09:30.earlier point. In spite of

:09:31. > :09:32.the political wrangling at Stormont, The First Minister Peter Robinson

:09:33. > :09:36.said yesterday it's "not fit for purpose"

:09:37. > :09:38.but his ministers remain in office. So just how fragile is

:09:39. > :09:58.power-sharing at the moment? Agreement at Stormont is rare these

:09:59. > :10:07.days. All those in favour, say yes. Now the Mac no... -- no... It has

:10:08. > :10:16.become a political pantomime, say some. After yesterday when the First

:10:17. > :10:19.Minister said Stormont was not fit for purpose, he was side-by-side

:10:20. > :10:23.with Martin McGuinness in the jobs announcement. Even though all talks

:10:24. > :10:27.on parades and flags have failed, this summer was the quietest

:10:28. > :10:30.marching season in years. The parties might be split on several

:10:31. > :10:36.issues but they managed agreement yesterday on a new education

:10:37. > :10:40.authority. Crisis, what crisis? This academic says Stormont was back

:10:41. > :10:46.troubles need to be put into context. The dysfunctional politics

:10:47. > :10:51.we have now might be seen as a good result. 20 years ago, F we had said

:10:52. > :10:55.we are where we are now, most have the Mac people would think it is a

:10:56. > :11:03.tremendous advance. The question is whether the kind of power-sharing

:11:04. > :11:09.arrangement we have is as good as it gets. That is a discussion for

:11:10. > :11:13.political unity is itself. What a talent as an available? The party

:11:14. > :11:17.could go straight into negotiations or call an election and then have

:11:18. > :11:22.negotiations. Other could admit defeat and go back to direct rule.

:11:23. > :11:28.There is no shortage of options and no shortage of advice on the street.

:11:29. > :11:36.Find agreement, work. If you're in business, you work with people you

:11:37. > :11:41.do not like. That is a fact of life. I did not think they are performing

:11:42. > :11:48.at all. None of them. It is just party politics every time. Stop

:11:49. > :11:56.fighting, get on with things. I feel that the politicians are not

:11:57. > :12:03.listening to the people. It is a joke there, all the pills are

:12:04. > :12:07.politicians. -- all the politicians. The rest of the UK succeeded with

:12:08. > :12:13.what is happening in Scotland. Over there, the question is, how much

:12:14. > :12:15.power to Scotland want? Over here, the issue is whether Stormont can't

:12:16. > :12:19.successfully function with the powers it has already. -- can

:12:20. > :12:21.successfully function. The Historical Institutional Abuse

:12:22. > :12:23.Inquiry has heard that the fallout from a

:12:24. > :12:25.Child Migrant Scheme from Northern Ireland to Australia in the last

:12:26. > :12:28.century could have repercussions for In the final testimony to the

:12:29. > :12:34.inquiry, a woman made an emotional plea for help to trace her family's

:12:35. > :12:38.medical records in Northern Ireland. She said she has lost two

:12:39. > :12:54.of her children to unexplained The woman told the enquiry that

:12:55. > :12:58.heart quest to find her past continues although she has

:12:59. > :13:02.discovered some information. She was born in the 1950s under the age of

:13:03. > :13:07.eight months was taken into care. At four and a half years of age, she

:13:08. > :13:10.was put on a board to Australia. The women, no 60s, was eventually given

:13:11. > :13:16.her mother 's identity but has never been able to trace her father. Her

:13:17. > :13:22.relatives alter he was a positive -- Protestant landowner. One of four

:13:23. > :13:29.daughters died as a baby and a 26 and son died suddenly in 2005. --

:13:30. > :13:33.one of her daughters. The women said the scheme defined her past and has

:13:34. > :13:39.potential to threaten the future of her family. After losing two

:13:40. > :13:41.children, she said, it is still important to find the medical

:13:42. > :13:45.records for her children and grandchildren. The enquiry heard

:13:46. > :13:51.more about what the state knew about the Child Migrant Scheme. The senior

:13:52. > :13:55.consul to the enquiry presented details of the letter from 1955 from

:13:56. > :13:59.the Stormont Department of home affairs. It was written after

:14:00. > :14:04.departmental inspector visited Nazareth house in Belfast. The

:14:05. > :14:08.inspector was called that another children's home could not cope with

:14:09. > :14:11.numbers sent there from Belfast. The alternative, according to the

:14:12. > :14:19.letter, was to send children to Australia. Referring to children,

:14:20. > :14:28.she wrote, this is how they will be disposed of.

:14:29. > :14:31.The move to reduce the number of education boards here has wasted

:14:32. > :14:33.millions of pounds, according to trade unions.

:14:34. > :14:35.Attempts to create the Education and Skills Authority failed.

:14:36. > :14:37.Instead, a single board will replace the five current boards

:14:38. > :14:46.Our education correspondent Maggie Taggart explains.

:14:47. > :14:51.The grand plan was to bring education under one umbrella to

:14:52. > :14:55.offer equal treatment to pupils across Northern Ireland and also to

:14:56. > :14:59.streamline the bureaucracy which duplicated key services in five

:15:00. > :15:02.different boards. The original idea of the meat of the range of

:15:03. > :15:08.education authorities, including the five boards, the Council for

:15:09. > :15:15.Catholic education, and particularly the exams body. They would form one

:15:16. > :15:19.body. Now instead, only some boards will be merged and they will be

:15:20. > :15:26.absorbed into one giant education board. This follows years of

:15:27. > :15:28.political wrangling over a perceived threat to some schools and

:15:29. > :15:34.representation for the controlled schools sector. Board staffs have

:15:35. > :15:38.suffered a freeze on recruitment during the stalemate and no unions

:15:39. > :15:44.are worried about job security. They will be issues about moving from a 1

:15:45. > :15:51.board to five boards in annual. At senior levels, they will be issues.

:15:52. > :15:58.For other staff, it is the location of the jobs in relation to

:15:59. > :16:03.particular services. Teachers point to the millions spent on preparation

:16:04. > :16:09.for BSE, money which could have paid for many jobs and equipment. I get

:16:10. > :16:14.very frustrated about it. Unfortunately, the unions have taken

:16:15. > :16:18.the brunt of it. There is not the support they are in the boards for

:16:19. > :16:23.the schools because the money is not there for that. Now the Executive

:16:24. > :16:26.has agreed a single board, senior department officials will have to

:16:27. > :16:27.construct legislation which can be approved in time for the launch of a

:16:28. > :16:33.single board within six months. A female taxi driver in Londonderry

:16:34. > :16:36.says she was left terrified after a youth put a knife to her throat

:16:37. > :16:39.during an attempting hijacking During the ordeal,

:16:40. > :16:45.he also put his hand over her mouth She refused to hand over her car

:16:46. > :16:50.and the youth ran off. Here's our Northwest reporter,

:16:51. > :17:00.Keiron Tourish. Linda Brady has been driving a taxi

:17:01. > :17:03.for around seven years. But now she is having second thoughts as to

:17:04. > :17:07.whether she should continue in the job. She was doing a night shift

:17:08. > :17:13.when she got a booking on screen. She picked up a young man at the

:17:14. > :17:17.junction of this road around 2am. He asked her to drive to Abercorn Road

:17:18. > :17:23.when he entered a house and then came out before going on to a

:17:24. > :17:27.different location. He put his hand... I felt his hand coming

:17:28. > :17:35.around me with a knife. He said, keep driving straightforward. I

:17:36. > :17:39.said, right, no problem. He shouted, keep driving straight. I thought,

:17:40. > :17:44.what is going on here? I can't go on and try to talk to him. I said, calm

:17:45. > :17:50.down. Can you please take your hand away from my mouth? I cannot

:17:51. > :17:55.breathe. Linda believes the gift wanted her car for joyriding but she

:17:56. > :17:58.did not know that at the time. Her family are de Boer upset at what

:17:59. > :18:03.happened to her and want other drivers, especially women, to be

:18:04. > :18:11.vigilant. -- her family are very upset. It is terrible that people

:18:12. > :18:15.are doing things like this. All women taxi drivers should be

:18:16. > :18:20.careful. I honestly did not know what he would do. I was not sure at

:18:21. > :18:24.the time why he was doing it. Then I thought, this young man is going to

:18:25. > :18:28.take me somewhere. When he asks me to pull over and get out of the car

:18:29. > :18:35.and given him the keys, I realised he must be a joyrider. Frightening,

:18:36. > :18:39.though? Very frightening. The police have issued a description. They

:18:40. > :18:43.believe the man could be around 17 years of age, five foot five and

:18:44. > :18:45.height, with short black hair. He was said to have been wearing a dark

:18:46. > :19:03.Anglers in County Tyrone say they're not satisfied with

:19:04. > :19:05.the official explanation of what caused a huge fish-kill

:19:06. > :19:10.The incident happened at Brantry Lough at the end of June,

:19:11. > :19:12.but as our reporter in the area has been finding out,

:19:13. > :19:15.the fishermen believe the lough is not recovering as it should.

:19:16. > :19:19.If I put that camera in, these fish, which normally would go away like a

:19:20. > :19:26.rocket, they are very refined chick. -- Lafarge it. In all my years of

:19:27. > :19:32.fishing, I have never seen the likes of that. Never. Something has gone

:19:33. > :19:37.wrong here, and these anglers want to know exactly what. The trouble

:19:38. > :19:42.began in June when huge numbers of trout and perch suddenly died. I

:19:43. > :19:54.could not believe the amount. Eight men and a bolt the Mac boat -- boat

:19:55. > :19:59.picked up a massive amount of fish. Many angles are not convinced about

:20:00. > :20:02.what happened here. They want for their investigations into an

:20:03. > :20:08.incident they say has devastated one of Northern Ireland's premier

:20:09. > :20:18.fisheries. Two months later, we appear two -- we see other fish

:20:19. > :20:24.affected. What killed these fish? Signs have cautioned against eating

:20:25. > :20:33.any fish when certain algae has been found. People want to know, is this

:20:34. > :20:37.lake safer mod? There is a health warning to say not to consume

:20:38. > :20:41.anything in the lake. It is a place when people are frequently walking

:20:42. > :20:46.here. If that is a health warning, those people should not be in the

:20:47. > :20:52.vicinity of the loss. Someone has to address the problem and the sooner

:20:53. > :20:58.the better. The signs are put up anywhere there is a suspicion of

:20:59. > :21:02.algae being present. But tests have so far proved negative.

:21:03. > :21:06.We will keep you up-to-date on that. Now, a pile of bricks has caused

:21:07. > :21:09.some excitement in County Fermanagh. The bricks in question are the first

:21:10. > :21:12.to be hand-made in the fields near Our Southwest reporter Julian Fowler

:21:13. > :21:16.has been following the project to rediscover

:21:17. > :21:27.a once thriving rural industry. And all but forgotten tradition.

:21:28. > :21:33.Brickmaking would once have been a common sight in the fields around

:21:34. > :21:36.Fermanagh. Arney brick was used to build many old buildings in

:21:37. > :21:42.Enniskillen. It was backbreaking work, supplementing the family

:21:43. > :21:49.income. You were looking at 3000 bricks being made every day. These

:21:50. > :21:55.were big structures in the fields, taking a lot of effort for very

:21:56. > :21:59.little income. But it was part of that cash income they could not have

:22:00. > :22:03.got anywhere else. Back then, they did not have washing machines, but

:22:04. > :22:11.getting covered in play these days is all part of the fun. Islamist

:22:12. > :22:17.down -- you put it down and it comes out there. What do you like about

:22:18. > :22:25.it? Getting dirty! Although much of the local brickmaking knowledge has

:22:26. > :22:35.been loll -- lost, some have been continuing a family tradition. Of

:22:36. > :22:42.course, it was hard work. In the 1920s, each firm would produce about

:22:43. > :22:47.25,000 bricks a year. A man remembers seeing the last kiln here

:22:58. > :23:05.what he said he thought would be the last of this information at. -- in

:23:06. > :23:12.County Fermanagh. And he was right. It has not happened since then.

:23:13. > :23:19.Having been paid for three days and then cooled down, it was time to see

:23:20. > :23:23.if the bricks would fire. And this is the finished brick. They might

:23:24. > :23:26.not be good enough to build houses with, but the community here have

:23:27. > :23:26.heard a lot of fun reconnecting with their past.

:23:27. > :23:31.Great to see that revival. We all love story in which someone

:23:32. > :23:34.battles back from the brink. Stephen Watson is here with

:23:35. > :23:36.this evening's sport. Less than a year ago, Stuart Olding,

:23:37. > :23:38.one of our brightest rugby prospects,

:23:39. > :23:41.feared his career might be over. Capped once for Ireland,

:23:42. > :23:44.his cruciate ligament snapped while representing Ulster Ravens

:23:45. > :23:47.last November. But as Nikki Gregg reports,

:23:48. > :23:49.he's back with a bang and pushing to hold on to his shirt

:23:50. > :24:05.for this Friday's opening home match He spent ten months on the sidelines

:24:06. > :24:09.but the elusive running skills, composure on the ball and strength

:24:10. > :24:12.shown little sign of rustiness. Stuart Olding is eager to make up

:24:13. > :24:17.for lost time. His return has demanded patients. The main thing

:24:18. > :24:22.was to make sure I kicked all the boxes with the staff under Sergeant.

:24:23. > :24:27.I did that and everything went smoothly through rehab. I am really

:24:28. > :24:33.happy physically how I am performing at the minute. He needs to be at the

:24:34. > :24:37.top of his game. The midfielder is one of Ulster's strongest areas in

:24:38. > :24:39.terms of options, with internationals Luke Marshall and

:24:40. > :24:46.Darren Cave competing for selection, along with another player

:24:47. > :24:52.who is qualified for Irish duty. They started in the game against

:24:53. > :24:57.Leinster. This could be a partnership that pays for club and

:24:58. > :25:04.country. Amtrak to pick his brain as much so camelid as much as I can. --

:25:05. > :25:08.I am trying to. He is a great talent and it is great to play with him.

:25:09. > :25:14.One thing he has yet to experiences playing at the redeveloped stadium.

:25:15. > :25:17.I have been a couple of times and it has been packed. The atmosphere is

:25:18. > :25:23.brilliant. It will be even better when I am on the pitch. Back doing

:25:24. > :25:24.what he does best. He is playing well.

:25:25. > :25:27.After a second stint in charge, Liam Bradley has today stepped

:25:28. > :25:29.down as Antrim County senior football manager.

:25:30. > :25:32.It's understood Bradley, who has previously steered the county to an

:25:33. > :25:35.Ulster provincial final in 2009, was open to staying on in the post but

:25:36. > :25:39.was reluctant to be reinterviewed for the job and opted to walk away.

:25:40. > :25:42.Under-21 manager Frank Fitzsimmons is to succeed him.

:25:43. > :25:44.Rory McIlroy tees off tomorrow in the Tour Players Championship

:25:45. > :25:48.If he wins the tournament, he will pocket a $1.5 million first

:25:49. > :25:51.prize, and gets a bonus of an amazing $10 million for

:25:52. > :26:06.Angie is here with the weather forecast.

:26:07. > :26:10.Another glorious day of course and although the figures are not in yet,

:26:11. > :26:13.we have seen temperatures of around 20 Celsius in some spots. Once we

:26:14. > :26:16.get the final figures, some spots will be even higher than that. It

:26:17. > :26:20.has been a glorious day. 20 of sunshine in Ireland and Britain.

:26:21. > :26:25.Patchy cloud in the Eastern counties at times, hill fog clinging onto the

:26:26. > :26:30.top of some spots there. That will clear away and we will have a fine

:26:31. > :26:33.evening. Plenty of sunshine to end the day. We will hold onto the clear

:26:34. > :26:37.spills through the night. Temperatures generally between 7-9

:26:38. > :26:46.Celsius although we could get the odd approval spot that gets close to

:26:47. > :26:54.freezing with some ground frost. In some areas, maybe around Fermanagh,

:26:55. > :26:56.we could see some missed. The dryness continues into tomorrow.

:26:57. > :27:02.Perhaps more variable cloud than today. A murky starred in some

:27:03. > :27:07.places with the mist and fog in low-lying areas. But could cause

:27:08. > :27:12.some visibility issues early on. Eventually it will break up and we

:27:13. > :27:17.will see sunny spells coming through. If you're on the Antrim

:27:18. > :27:22.coast, it is a bit fresh with that onshore easterly breeze. They do not

:27:23. > :27:26.have to come far inland to feel the warmth, particularly in the west and

:27:27. > :27:31.north-west. That is where we will see the highest temperatures at

:27:32. > :27:35.around 21 Celsius. As for Freddie, misty and murky in places,

:27:36. > :27:40.particularly in the East. But another fine day with spells of

:27:41. > :27:44.sunshine. Into the weekend, still try, with some bright spells.
