:00:00. > :00:12.It's goodbye from me, and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:00:13. > :00:18.Good evening. On BBC Newsline this evening:

:00:19. > :00:23.A major reshuffle in the DUP's senior men at Stormont.

:00:24. > :00:25.Out goes Health Minister Edwin Poots.

:00:26. > :00:31.Also out is Nelson McCausland, the Social Development Minister.

:00:32. > :00:38.This is how the DUP team will look, a picture taken this afternoon.

:00:39. > :00:41.Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster and Finance Minister Simon Hamilton

:00:42. > :01:01.Let's blow to Stormont and Mark Devenport. It has been a dramatic

:01:02. > :01:07.few hours. -- let's go. When was the first hint of a reshuffle? About the

:01:08. > :01:11.middle of the afternoon when local reporters noticed some activity in

:01:12. > :01:19.the great Hall, some senior DUP figures were being summoned in the

:01:20. > :01:22.direction of the Minister's office. Civil servants had phones clamped to

:01:23. > :01:27.their ears and it was evident something was afoot. This being the

:01:28. > :01:31.new age of social media, it was on Twitter that the First Minister

:01:32. > :01:36.confirmed he was engaged in a major reshuffle, and it was via Twitter he

:01:37. > :01:41.started sending out photos of himself, his new ministers, Nelson

:01:42. > :01:46.McCausland being replaced by Mervyn Storey, and Edwin Poots giving way

:01:47. > :01:51.to Jim Wells. Then a series of other announcements in relation to

:01:52. > :01:56.committee chairs. What has Peter Robinson been saying? He came out to

:01:57. > :02:00.confirm these moves within the last hour. He said the moves were no

:02:01. > :02:04.criticism of any of the outgoing ministers, he would have happily

:02:05. > :02:08.reappointed them to senior jobs, but in the way of politics, he felt the

:02:09. > :02:13.time was right to refresh his team. I think one would see this as

:02:14. > :02:19.potentially stamping his authority on the party. We have heard that

:02:20. > :02:23.some of them have been questioning his leadership, instead Mr Robinson

:02:24. > :02:28.said when he talked to us when in the last hour that he is going

:02:29. > :02:38.nowhere. This is a party that is not about one person. When I started, I

:02:39. > :02:44.talked to my party officers and they had been aware I was going to make

:02:45. > :02:48.changes. I have spoken to date with the party Chairman Andy Deputy

:02:49. > :02:55.Leader. We act as a party, we have always had that of relationship.

:02:56. > :02:59.There was no bitterness in the people who were standing down, they

:03:00. > :03:03.recognised the need to continue to churn things around to get the best

:03:04. > :03:09.out of the team. So, I am here and I will continue to be here for as long

:03:10. > :03:12.as the party want me to be here. Later we will have more on the

:03:13. > :03:14.reshuffle and we will hear from Mervyn Storey, the new Social

:03:15. > :03:31.Development Minister. The health Department has also been

:03:32. > :03:37.the most controversial in recent months over its budget. This

:03:38. > :03:41.decision to replace Edwin Poots with Jim Wells will therefore be under

:03:42. > :03:43.close scrutiny. We look at the man taking the job and the man he is

:03:44. > :03:50.replacing. Edwin Poots has previously been

:03:51. > :03:53.Minister for culture and for the environment. But, the three years he

:03:54. > :03:57.has held arguably the biggest and most challenging of portfolios, as

:03:58. > :04:04.Health Minister, he presided over difficult times. It included a night

:04:05. > :04:09.last January when the Royal Victoria Hospital declared a major incident

:04:10. > :04:16.due to a backlog of patients. He has also crossed swords with Northern

:04:17. > :04:19.Ireland's most senior judge. Their public exchanges centring on the

:04:20. > :04:27.decision by Mr Coutts to continue a ban on gay men giving blood here.

:04:28. > :04:32.With Debbie a circling of the wagons? I would be concerned that

:04:33. > :04:38.this may not be the case. More recently, he said that heart

:04:39. > :04:41.apartment faces a shortfall of ?140 million despite being spared the

:04:42. > :04:46.worst of recent cuts, he said there would not be enough to maintain so

:04:47. > :04:51.-- safe health services. Coming into the job is the new Minister of

:04:52. > :04:58.health, Jim Wells. It is a job he had been tipped for in the past. I

:04:59. > :05:02.have been vice chair for five years so I know what is going on behind

:05:03. > :05:08.the scenes and I know it is a difficult task. I am under no

:05:09. > :05:12.illusion as to the problems. Tonight, Mr Wells has sent Mr puts

:05:13. > :05:15.his best wishes in what he calls a hugely challenging but rewarding

:05:16. > :05:19.job. The other Minister to lose his job

:05:20. > :05:26.in the reshuffle is Nelson McCausland, who is being replaced by

:05:27. > :05:31.Mervyn Storey. Mr McAusland has come under pressure over the awarding of

:05:32. > :05:34.Housing Executive contracts. He has repeatedly denied any suggestion

:05:35. > :05:41.that he had misled and Assembly committee.

:05:42. > :05:45.Nelson McCausland was appointed as Minister for social development in

:05:46. > :05:51.2011. He quickly became one of the most controversial ministers. Over

:05:52. > :05:57.the course of his three and a half years, he had numerous run-ins with

:05:58. > :06:01.other MLAs on social development. Committee members question him

:06:02. > :06:05.following a BBC Spotlight investigation into the allocation of

:06:06. > :06:11.Housing Executive maintenance contracts to specific -- to a

:06:12. > :06:16.specific company. Then came revelations he had met with an

:06:17. > :06:20.alleged DUP donor company. Mr McAusland had insisted he had met

:06:21. > :06:27.with the Glass and glazing Federation, but that meeting had

:06:28. > :06:33.been with a difficult company. In the light of recent documents

:06:34. > :06:36.discovered, I had knowledge I inadvertently misinformed the

:06:37. > :06:43.committee in this letter. But let me assure you that this was not in any

:06:44. > :06:46.way delivering. The committee concluded he had misled it.

:06:47. > :06:52.Something Mr McAusland strenuously denied. This is the man who is

:06:53. > :06:58.replacing him, Mervyn Storey, elected to the SM from North Antrim,

:06:59. > :07:04.he has been Chairman of the education committee since 2011. As

:07:05. > :07:11.well as sitting on the committee on standards and privileges. Among the

:07:12. > :07:14.responsibilities he will have our housing, social security benefits,

:07:15. > :07:19.patients, child support and urban regeneration.

:07:20. > :07:23.One of the issues Edwin Poots had to deal with during his three years as

:07:24. > :07:29.Health Minister was the future of children's cardiac surgery in

:07:30. > :07:34.Belfast. The latest on that is an international team has recommended

:07:35. > :07:39.the surgery should move to Dublin. Our health correspondent is at the

:07:40. > :07:42.Royal Victoria Hospital. Good evening. I am here at the Royal

:07:43. > :07:47.Victoria Hospital, where the children's cardiac service is based,

:07:48. > :07:52.and hundreds of families across Northern Ireland have been following

:07:53. > :07:58.this story extremely closely for almost three years. This afternoon,

:07:59. > :08:05.there was another development will stop -- development A star --

:08:06. > :08:10.development. . It seems the fight has been lost. Over two years, they

:08:11. > :08:12.took to the streets with one clear message, children's heart services

:08:13. > :08:21.should be retained the Royal Victoria Hospital. But during a

:08:22. > :08:29.semi-Mac questions, Edwin Poots delivered this blow. -- during

:08:30. > :08:37.Assembly questions. The overall model for delivering children and

:08:38. > :08:44.adult heart services in Ireland would not allow Belfast to sustain

:08:45. > :08:49.surgery at that site. Families and the surgical team have been in limbo

:08:50. > :08:54.ever since a review in 2012 concluded that while safe, the unit

:08:55. > :08:59.at Belfast is not sustainable, partly due to too few operations

:09:00. > :09:03.being performed. A separate local review and consultation recommended

:09:04. > :09:10.the service be moved to Dublin, and the surgical model was favoured by

:09:11. > :09:15.ministers. This is not the news that local families will have wanted to

:09:16. > :09:21.hear. It now means that three separate reviews have recommended

:09:22. > :09:24.that Belfast as a paediatric cardiac surgical centre is not realistic.

:09:25. > :09:31.The health minister says he remains hopeful that surgery will transfer

:09:32. > :09:35.to Dublin. I am optimistic that we retain the excellence of the

:09:36. > :09:43.cardiology service in Belfast, and that if we move, we will move it to

:09:44. > :09:48.the same landmass as ourselves. Dublin, essentially. A local charity

:09:49. > :09:51.says parents deserve more clarity. It is frustrating, we have been

:09:52. > :09:55.involved in this process for three years and it does feel that there

:09:56. > :10:00.are some more questions and answers. What is good to happen, how will it

:10:01. > :10:04.happen? Dublin did not have capacity to take children's heart services

:10:05. > :10:08.from Belfast. What kind of timeline are they planning? How will that

:10:09. > :10:14.impact on the service for our children and families? Parents will

:10:15. > :10:19.be disappointed but should be encouraged that two years ago, all

:10:20. > :10:23.surgery was moving to England. Edwin Poots has now been replaced by Jim

:10:24. > :10:32.Wells, how do you see that appointment? It is change, but

:10:33. > :10:36.change in name only. When you think of some of the most contentious and

:10:37. > :10:40.emotive issues that Edwin Poots has had to deal with, some of those

:10:41. > :10:44.decisions which ended up in the High Court, including blood been donated

:10:45. > :10:50.by men in the gay community and abortion, it must be said that Jim

:10:51. > :10:55.Wells has equally entrenched views. I have been in contact with the

:10:56. > :11:01.former Health Minister, who says some very big decision have now been

:11:02. > :11:03.taken from him and passed on to what he has described as his very good

:11:04. > :11:07.friend, Jim Wells. A man has been jailed for 18 years

:11:08. > :11:10.for raping a woman after beating Darius Porcikas, with an address at

:11:11. > :11:13.Upper Edward Street in Newry, was one of two men

:11:14. > :11:17.charged with a range of offences You may find some of the detail

:11:18. > :11:24.in our next report upsetting. It's from Gordon Adair at

:11:25. > :11:37.Craigavon Crown Court. It was in this Lurgan housing estate

:11:38. > :11:41.in the early hours of July the 13th of 11 that the victim's ordeal

:11:42. > :11:48.began. Her boyfriend was involved in an altercation with Porcikas and two

:11:49. > :11:53.other men. The trio smashed her door in and set about her boyfriend with

:11:54. > :11:57.a cricket bat. They beat him unconscious before turning their

:11:58. > :12:02.attention to her. She was also brutally beaten, but this was to be

:12:03. > :12:06.only the start. Over the next 12 hours, she was subjected to rape,

:12:07. > :12:10.violence and deliberate humiliation, the details of which

:12:11. > :12:15.are too horrifying to be broadcast. The trial here lasted three weeks

:12:16. > :12:20.and it took the jury just over two hours to find Porcikas guilty of a

:12:21. > :12:24.total of 12 offences. During the trial, they heard how he had

:12:25. > :12:30.committed the shocking crimes, and then gone on the run. After a series

:12:31. > :12:35.of appeals to the public, Porcikas was eventually found. He was living

:12:36. > :12:41.in this wooded area, a matter of yards away. Here -- he had built a

:12:42. > :12:47.temporary shelter. Incredibly, he had lived here for up to a month

:12:48. > :12:51.with his pregnant girlfriend. I am really pleased that the court have

:12:52. > :12:54.reflected on the severity of the sentences and I hope this sends a

:12:55. > :13:02.message that we will not tolerate this in our society. The judge said

:13:03. > :13:08.Porcikas would not even be considered for release until it was

:13:09. > :13:12.felt safe to do so. His co-accused was found guilty of a single charge

:13:13. > :13:16.of assault on the woman's boyfriend. There was a third man present that

:13:17. > :13:20.morning, he has never been named in court but it is believed he is back

:13:21. > :13:23.in Lithuania. The hunt for him will continue.

:13:24. > :13:25.The traditional Irish musician Francis McPeake has branded

:13:26. > :13:30.as "lies" allegations of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.

:13:31. > :13:33.The Belfastman has been giving evidence at his trial

:13:34. > :13:48.Francis McPeake arrives in court today to give evidence at his trial,

:13:49. > :13:52.seen here accompanied by his wife. He denies 12 counts of sexual

:13:53. > :13:58.activity with a girl who was 15 years old at the time. The alleged

:13:59. > :14:02.victim sat in the public gallery along with her friends and family,

:14:03. > :14:05.listening to the evidence. Every allegation of sexual activity put to

:14:06. > :14:10.the evidence. Every allegation of sexual activity Sunday morning in

:14:11. > :14:17.his school of music in Belfast, that is alive, said. That is where you

:14:18. > :14:23.first had sex with the alleged victim? That is a lie, he said. The

:14:24. > :14:27.prosecution outlined that the defendant turned up at the

:14:28. > :14:31.teenager's school to talk to her teachers. It was put to him he was

:14:32. > :14:38.getting cocky. I had an interest in her work, he said. The prosecution

:14:39. > :14:45.said, you had an interest for her, for sex. No, he said, that is alive.

:14:46. > :14:47.Mr McPeak said he had problems having sex with his wife after

:14:48. > :14:51.receiving treatment for cancer. The trial continues.

:14:52. > :14:53.Some have predicted that changes to the welfare system

:14:54. > :14:58.Here on BBC Newsline we're taking another

:14:59. > :15:01.closer look at what's proposed and we'll be speaking to people who

:15:02. > :15:07.In the first in a series of reports over the next few weeks,

:15:08. > :15:19.Tara Mills talks to young mothers in East and West Belfast.

:15:20. > :15:24.On the outskirts of West Belfast, almost half the children are cost of

:15:25. > :15:30.living in poverty. The Centre provides a crash and drop-in centre

:15:31. > :15:32.for mums like Leanne, who has four children and receives multiple

:15:33. > :15:40.benefits. Her youngest is eight months old. You try to find money if

:15:41. > :15:45.they need new shoes or clothes, but by the time you get the money, you

:15:46. > :15:52.spend it on food and bills, you have nothing left. So, I just hope that

:15:53. > :15:55.the change does not affect us. Cutting the total made of money one

:15:56. > :16:02.family can receive on benefits is one of the changes. It is ?26,000 a

:16:03. > :16:06.year. In England it applies mostly to people living in homes with high

:16:07. > :16:10.rents, but here it is different. Those on more than ?26,000 are

:16:11. > :16:16.mostly lone parents with four children or more. The average family

:16:17. > :16:21.stands to lose ?50 a week. Those with very large families will lose

:16:22. > :16:27.?135 a week. Staff at this centre believe that will leave some

:16:28. > :16:31.families desperately poor. There will be kids not getting a decent

:16:32. > :16:37.meal, but if they come here they will get through, they will get

:16:38. > :16:41.something decent during the day. You cannot go into a home where there

:16:42. > :16:47.are a lot of children and just cut the money away. People have

:16:48. > :16:54.devastating impact on the children. Across time, mums at this centre are

:16:55. > :16:57.in the same boat. This woman had a job until she had her children and

:16:58. > :17:01.hopes to get back to work eventually. These mothers have been

:17:02. > :17:09.accused of having children to get benefits. This 22-year-old says life

:17:10. > :17:13.has not to notice she expected. I would have to burrow money some

:17:14. > :17:22.weeks. It depends how the week is going. What about people who think

:17:23. > :17:27.that people on benefits are lazy? There is no choice. If I had a

:17:28. > :17:33.choice, I would not be on them. It is not like it is great money, you

:17:34. > :17:38.struggle on benefits. Why do that if you could have a full-time job? So

:17:39. > :17:43.that is ultimately what you are aiming for? Yes. You get to that

:17:44. > :17:49.point and you cannot manage and you want to get stuff but you can't. How

:17:50. > :17:53.do you manage? It is really stressful. None of the mothers we

:17:54. > :17:58.spoke to was aware that the welfare system could be changing. The

:17:59. > :18:03.political row at Stormont seems far removed from the reality of life on

:18:04. > :18:07.benefits. And if you will be affected by the

:18:08. > :18:21.changes, would we would like to hear your views.

:18:22. > :18:28.Welfare reform remains at the eye of the political storm and another

:18:29. > :18:30.issue is parading. This evening, the Northern Ireland office says it has

:18:31. > :18:34.no comment on speculation that draft proposals have been sent to any

:18:35. > :18:40.political party in relation to parading in North Belfast. Mark

:18:41. > :18:46.Devenport is at Stormont. Have you heard anything about this? Here, one

:18:47. > :18:49.senior Orange man was telling me he got there could be an announcement

:18:50. > :18:53.before the end of the week on the parade enquiry for North Belfast.

:18:54. > :18:58.Clearly this was a demand from the joint Unionist parties, they wanted

:18:59. > :19:03.it to look specifically into the Ardoyne issue. But if the Government

:19:04. > :19:06.presses ahead with that, it risks incurring the wrath of nationalists,

:19:07. > :19:10.who are concerned that such an enquiry would do the Parades

:19:11. > :19:14.Commission out of business and might undermine that. So it will look at

:19:15. > :19:18.that space during the course of the next few days. In relation to

:19:19. > :19:22.welfare reform, it is not just the young mothers we have been hearing

:19:23. > :19:27.from, who are concerned about that, it has been a point of contention at

:19:28. > :19:30.Stormont today. I am joined by one of our new ministers who will have

:19:31. > :19:35.responsibility for welfare reform. It is really a hot topic, do you

:19:36. > :19:39.think it could end up that the Executive is brought down in

:19:40. > :19:42.relation to this? I think the First Minister has made it clear that

:19:43. > :19:45.there are choices that have to be made. We empathise with those

:19:46. > :19:50.parents who have genuine concerns about changes to the current

:19:51. > :19:53.system. However, let us be under no illusion that if there is no

:19:54. > :19:57.agreement on this particular issue in relation to welfare reform, what

:19:58. > :20:02.is coming down the road in terms of the lost to the Northern Ireland

:20:03. > :20:07.budget is greater than what the changes would be in relation to the

:20:08. > :20:11.package that was negotiated by my predecessor. I would pay tribute to

:20:12. > :20:16.Nelson for the way in which he dealt with this issue during her very

:20:17. > :20:20.difficult and challenging time. Letters be under no illusion, I am

:20:21. > :20:24.under no illusion as to the enormity of this challenge and I believe that

:20:25. > :20:27.if people want to see progress, they have to face up to reality that

:20:28. > :20:32.there is an agreement that has to be reached on this issue so the

:20:33. > :20:35.Northern Ireland ensures we can move forward and continue to be

:20:36. > :20:39.prosperous in the way that we have been to date. Could you end up being

:20:40. > :20:45.a very short lived Minister? There is no sign of any common ground

:20:46. > :20:50.between the major parties. History will be the judge of that, it is not

:20:51. > :20:55.my intention to be the shortest lived Minister. The DUP want to get

:20:56. > :20:59.a resolution for the benefit of the people of Northern Ireland and

:21:00. > :21:03.those, Sinn Fein, the SDLP and those who have opposed this process need

:21:04. > :21:07.to realise they are going to bring about a situation which will bring

:21:08. > :21:11.greater burden and distress to the people of Northern Ireland, and that

:21:12. > :21:17.is not what I want to see happen. Is this Peter Robinson stabbing his

:21:18. > :21:20.authority on the party? This is my party leader making decisions. He

:21:21. > :21:29.will make those decisions because he is party leader. I am honoured by

:21:30. > :21:32.the responsibility that he has placed on my shoulders and I trust

:21:33. > :21:41.by the grace of God that I will be able to do the job. Mervyn Storey on

:21:42. > :21:46.the first evening of his new job. To Scotland, and practice started

:21:47. > :21:48.today for the Ryder Cup, the match between Europe and America. Steven

:21:49. > :21:56.Watson has been reporting from Gleneagles.

:21:57. > :22:02.Northern Ireland's two players, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy,

:22:03. > :22:05.have partnered each other six times in the last couple of Ryder cups,

:22:06. > :22:10.but this year it appears they will be slipped up. Today, Graeme

:22:11. > :22:16.McDowell stressed that things may have changed, but there are not only

:22:17. > :22:20.problems between the two men. It is hello to a fourth consecutive Ryder

:22:21. > :22:25.Cup for Graeme McDowell. A player who excels when he steps into the

:22:26. > :22:29.world's golfing player. His relationship with Rory McIlroy is

:22:30. > :22:34.the focus for many this week. The issue is Rory McIlroy's legal battle

:22:35. > :22:41.with his former management company. But he is adamant that all is well

:22:42. > :22:45.on and off the course. Our personal issues have been well documented. We

:22:46. > :22:48.both have come through that and that of the other side better friends

:22:49. > :22:55.than we ever were. From a golf point of view, the dynamic has changed

:22:56. > :23:00.from the Big Brother role I had in 2009, 2010, when Rory was green

:23:01. > :23:04.behind the ears and needed someone like myself to have that protective

:23:05. > :23:08.influence on the golf course. Now he is the number one player in the

:23:09. > :23:12.world. We are not writing of the fact we might play together this

:23:13. > :23:16.weekend, but I think we will not play every match together like we

:23:17. > :23:20.have in the past. That will be done to personal reasons but the fact

:23:21. > :23:31.that captain believes we are better used elsewhere. Four years ago,

:23:32. > :23:37.Graeme McDowell was the hero. He wants a repeat performance in

:23:38. > :23:44.Scotland. I couldn't imagine sitting at home watching it on TV. I want to

:23:45. > :23:49.be here in Scotland, trying to make it eight from ten. We are the

:23:50. > :23:53.favourites. It is not a label the European team are used to. We are

:23:54. > :23:58.trying to realise that this is going to be a tough week, it will be

:23:59. > :24:04.close, and we have to knuckle down and play hard. Graeme McDowell will

:24:05. > :24:08.have huge home backing this week, but two of his biggest supporters

:24:09. > :24:14.are missing. I am feeling very fresh. I have had sleepless nights

:24:15. > :24:18.with the baby, but I have got to grips with that. Disappointed my

:24:19. > :24:22.wife and baby couldn't make it this week, but they will be watching from

:24:23. > :24:29.afar and they will be supporting the team from Florida. As he tries to

:24:30. > :24:35.help Europe successfully defend the title. Now to another international

:24:36. > :24:37.competition, this time in darts. Northern Ireland has sent men and

:24:38. > :24:43.women's teams to the Europe cup, which gets underway tomorrow.

:24:44. > :24:51.Northern Ireland will be stepping up to the hockey and aiming high in

:24:52. > :24:59.international dollars. -- International darts. It is played

:25:00. > :25:08.along the lines of the European cup. You go into groups, you qualify

:25:09. > :25:13.first or second in the group. The -- you accumulate points per win. There

:25:14. > :25:16.are also appears and individuals. The women's team includes a veteran

:25:17. > :25:22.who has seen off plenty of competition for her place on the

:25:23. > :25:28.aeroplane to Romania. It is hard work every year trying to get into

:25:29. > :25:32.the top three. Everybody fights all year round to get a place. And there

:25:33. > :25:37.is a quiet confidence that Northern Ireland will emerge from the group

:25:38. > :25:43.stages and do well. A good bunch of lads and girls going over, we have a

:25:44. > :25:47.good chance, we are all play -- all playing well at the moment and it is

:25:48. > :25:51.a privilege to be here. We just have a feeling that the team is going to

:25:52. > :25:57.gel, they will play well. They are all good players. This team, there

:25:58. > :26:03.is just something special. The competition starts tomorrow with the

:26:04. > :26:08.finals on Saturday. Good luck to both the teams. That's

:26:09. > :26:10.it from Gleneagles, I will be back with more from the Ryder Cup

:26:11. > :26:18.tomorrow. The weather forecast is next.

:26:19. > :26:21.Good evening. The autumn equinox has brought some autumn rain, good news

:26:22. > :26:27.for the gardens. That rain came along in a couple of bands. One last

:26:28. > :26:31.night which moved away. We now have the next band, that weather front

:26:32. > :26:36.sitting over us at the moment. Fragmenting a little bit, still damp

:26:37. > :26:41.evening for many. But it moves away East, and in behind, we will get a

:26:42. > :26:45.few showers following. Some of those to be quite heavy for the first part

:26:46. > :26:49.of the night but they will start to ease away later, tapering off. So we

:26:50. > :26:54.are looking at more in a whiff of dry weather and clear spells,

:26:55. > :27:00.temperatures settling around 80 to ten. Tomorrow, are much more cheery

:27:01. > :27:09.day. A brighter and drier day. One or two showers around first thing.

:27:10. > :27:15.Maybe done towards parts of County Down as well. But they will be light

:27:16. > :27:20.and fairly isolated. By the afternoon, generally, all parts are

:27:21. > :27:23.dry. Some cloud coming and going, but some bright and sunny spells

:27:24. > :27:27.coming through as well. It will still feel quite fresh, but the

:27:28. > :27:36.breeze coming in from the North to Northwest. Temperatures from 14 to

:27:37. > :27:39.16. It could be quite a cool evening tomorrow. Probably a bright enough

:27:40. > :27:44.end to the day. Through tomorrow night, things start to change

:27:45. > :27:48.again, more cloud starting to roll in off the Atlantic. With that

:27:49. > :27:52.cloud, quite damp weather. Rain and drizzle in parts of the North and

:27:53. > :27:57.West, but a mild night with temperatures no lower than ten or

:27:58. > :28:01.11. Thursday looks as though we will hold onto the grey skies, but it

:28:02. > :28:06.will be mild, with temperatures up to around 18.

:28:07. > :28:09.We will have the latest on the big reshuffle at Stormont on our latest

:28:10. > :28:12.news at 10.25. Goodbye for now.
