:00:10. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome to the programme.
:00:12. > :00:14.Northern Ireland has been offering its thoughts, prayers and sympathies
:00:15. > :00:16.to the people of Paris after last night's attacks in the city.
:00:17. > :00:19.The First Minister and Deputy First Minister have described them
:00:20. > :00:25.Meanwhile, many people with friends and relatives in Paris
:00:26. > :00:27.spent last night trying to make sure their loved ones were safe,
:00:28. > :00:43.Panic and terror in Paris. Close to the scene of one of the shootings,
:00:44. > :00:54.Professor Paddy Gray from Ulster University. This car stopped and
:00:55. > :00:59.abandoned, so I ran down this road and ended up being pulled into an
:01:00. > :01:05.entry and we sat there for quite a while in the dark. There were police
:01:06. > :01:11.marching up and down, all armed. Former BBC Northern Ireland that
:01:12. > :01:16.this editor James care was in the stadium when the first of three
:01:17. > :01:21.explosions went off. A few minutes into the game we heard a time, which
:01:22. > :01:25.we thought at that time was just a firework or some sort of
:01:26. > :01:29.firecracker. People started to get calls and text messages, this city
:01:30. > :01:36.and country have been deeply shocked. In Belfast, sisters Lucy
:01:37. > :01:42.and Juliet watched the horror unfold, suddenly feeling a long way
:01:43. > :01:46.from home. We were panicking because we have some relatives there and my
:01:47. > :01:52.best friends, so we kept trying to contact them and sometimes it was
:01:53. > :01:56.difficult. One of the street is familiar to me because my mum and
:01:57. > :02:02.dad used to live on one of those streets where the attacks were last
:02:03. > :02:05.night and it's just terrifying. The last few hours have been nightmarish
:02:06. > :02:12.for the French consul in Northern Ireland. I got a lot of e-mails from
:02:13. > :02:19.people from here just passing on their condolences to France, to the
:02:20. > :02:25.people of Paris, and obviously to all these families who lost loved
:02:26. > :02:28.ones. Today the Irish Foreign Office confirmed it was giving assistance
:02:29. > :02:32.to one are citizens who was injured in the attacks. There has been no
:02:33. > :02:39.word on how serious their condition is. Tonight Al Farr City Hall,
:02:40. > :02:44.expecting to switch on its Christmas lights, instead mourned with Paris,
:02:45. > :02:50.dressing itself in the coloureds of the French national flag, and at St
:02:51. > :02:55.Andrews Cathedral, a special prayer, another way to tell the people of
:02:56. > :02:59.Paris we are here for you. May they be held in love with the unity of
:03:00. > :03:05.the spirit and with Europe peace that passes understanding, through
:03:06. > :03:07.Christ our Lord we pray, are men. -- amen.
:03:08. > :03:09.Colum Eastwood is the new leader of the SDLP.
:03:10. > :03:11.He defeated Alasdair McDonnell in a vote at the party's
:03:12. > :03:14.There's also a new deputy leader, with Fearghal McKinney
:03:15. > :03:22.Our political correspondent Stephen Walker is there.
:03:23. > :03:31.In the end, the margin of victory may surprise some observers, with
:03:32. > :03:35.Colum Eastwood securing 172 votes and Alasdair McDonnell securing 133.
:03:36. > :03:40.In his victory speech, Colum Eastwood praised his predecessor and
:03:41. > :03:47.said this result brings new life into the SDLP. From this moment on,
:03:48. > :03:51.our major conversation will be with the people. Our principal
:03:52. > :03:58.conversation will be about shaping this region, this country for the
:03:59. > :04:03.next 30 and more years. This result went to one end Alasdair
:04:04. > :04:08.McDonnell's four-year leadership of the SDLP but the South Belfast MP
:04:09. > :04:15.made it clear he was not leaving politics. So I'm gone, I won't be
:04:16. > :04:25.going very far away, but I'm gone and it's over to others to keep
:04:26. > :04:30.going. Thank you. Colum Eastwood may have won this fight but there are
:04:31. > :04:35.many key battles ahead. People have to make strategic decisions about
:04:36. > :04:41.the talks process and the Assembly elections loom large.
:04:42. > :04:44.A 49-year-old man has been arrested following a shooting at a house
:04:45. > :04:47.The incident happened at Cranbrook Gardens just after 9pm
:04:48. > :04:51.last night when a man in his 30s was shot in the upper body.
:04:52. > :04:56.He's in a stable condition in hospital.
:04:57. > :05:12.It's been a nasty old day, cold and wet. It will get a little milder
:05:13. > :05:16.tonight but no drier. Rainfall warnings are in force and some
:05:17. > :05:21.flooding is possible as by the end of Sunday there could be up to three
:05:22. > :05:28.inches of rain over the West, so a nasty night to be out, lots of water
:05:29. > :05:33.and spray around, not very nice if you are out although it will get a
:05:34. > :05:38.little milder as the night goes on, the breeze will also pick up and we
:05:39. > :05:42.are looking at a breezy day on Sunday but also a milder day and the
:05:43. > :05:46.rain should not be as heavy. One or two drier moments tomorrow,
:05:47. > :05:52.especially in the morning in eastern counties. The breeze has moved the
:05:53. > :05:56.rain into the north of Scotland. Rainfall warnings across many parts
:05:57. > :06:01.of Britain and Ireland but especially in North Wales, with an
:06:02. > :06:05.amber warning which could lead to serious flooding in the Cumbria
:06:06. > :06:10.Mountains. A risk of flooding for Northern Ireland but not everywhere,
:06:11. > :06:15.rainfall amounts will vary and the West will see the rest of it. By the
:06:16. > :06:19.end of the day it is drier and the wind picks up, dragging in colder
:06:20. > :06:24.air across Northern Ireland so a chilly day on Monday but a little
:06:25. > :06:25.bit drier. More rain for Tuesday and Wednesday.
:06:26. > :06:31.BBC Newsline will be back tomorrow at 6:10pm.
:06:32. > :06:39.Until then, take care on the roads. Goodbye.
:06:40. > :06:41.'As we head for the weekend, Angie, what have you got for us?'
:06:42. > :06:44.'Well, a lot of dry weather, so that's the good news.
:06:45. > :06:47.'There's plenty of scope for getting things done outdoors this weekend,
:06:48. > :06:51.Well, I've been based here as a weather forecaster at
:06:52. > :06:55.BBC Northern Ireland since January 1996, would you believe?
:06:56. > :06:58.Quite a long time and it has flown in, basically
