:02:00. > :02:10.First, BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson is in Paris for us.
:02:11. > :02:17.Yes, good evening. I am in the centre of Paris and this has become
:02:18. > :02:21.the focus for today's day of mourning but it is not where the
:02:22. > :02:25.shootings took place, they were a short distance from where I am
:02:26. > :02:31.standing, towards the east of the city. There were other attacks, one
:02:32. > :02:37.in the north at a sports stadium many people at home would know well,
:02:38. > :02:41.the Stade de France, but here close to the centre of Paris has been the
:02:42. > :02:47.focus of attention. Tens of thousands of messages, thousands of
:02:48. > :02:54.people, and among those messages was one which perhaps sums up the mood
:02:55. > :03:00.and the message, it says don't pray for Paris, pray for the world.

:04:15. > :04:21.was a scene of carnage. Across Paris people came together for a minute's
:04:22. > :04:24.silence, and then applause. It is a cosmopolitan city with people from
:04:25. > :04:29.all over the world, but you don't have to stray too far to see a
:04:30. > :04:37.familiar accent. My name is Julie MacDonald. I'm from East Belfast and
:04:38. > :04:43.I have lived in Paris for 21 years. When the news broke, my family from
:04:44. > :04:49.Belfast were saying, are you all right? My first feeling was relieved
:04:50. > :04:54.that my son Sam was out of town and my daughter was safe on the sofa
:04:55. > :05:00.beside me. I am feeling pretty dreadful, to be honest. There is a
:05:01. > :05:09.notion of sadness, of dismay, a notion of helplessness, but there is
:05:10. > :05:15.also a kind of throwback to a way I felt many years ago in my own
:05:16. > :05:19.society in Belfast. Also living in Belfast is Father Aidan Troy, who
:05:20. > :05:24.used to be based in North Belfast. Giving his parishioners hope that
:05:25. > :05:29.this time isn't easy. I have never found it is difficult to get away at
:05:30. > :05:35.the end of mass. People just wanted to talk because a lot of them were
:05:36. > :05:39.going back to lock the door inside and I think that is sad.
:05:40. > :05:44.going back to lock the door inside on but normality here is still some
:05:45. > :05:51.going back to lock the door inside way. -- some way off. Those troops
:05:52. > :05:56.you just saw our not a one-off, they are all over the place and the
:05:57. > :06:04.French government is thinking of extending the state of emergency of

:06:23. > :06:27.but where they were killed, a sports stadium, a restaurant, a bar, and
:06:28. > :06:30.one Frenchman said the only way the rest of us who don't live in France
:06:31. > :06:36.can't get our heads around this is to think, what happened if this was
:06:37. > :06:42.our city, if the bar we do to, the concert hall we go to work all
:06:43. > :06:47.attacks on the same night and more than 100 people were killed? It is
:06:48. > :06:49.only in that sort of context that you can grasp the enormity of what
:06:50. > :06:52.happened here on Friday. The daughters of Declan McCavana,
:06:53. > :06:55.who you saw in Mark's report, have been telling us about the terrible
:06:56. > :06:58.uncertainty they felt as they waited for news about family in Paris. BBC
:06:59. > :07:02.Newsline's Tara Mills has been talking to some French people living
:07:03. > :07:05.here. One man lost a friend Olivier D'uzes is from Paris but has
:07:06. > :07:13.been working at this French restaurant in Belfast since the
:07:14. > :07:15.beginning of the year. He didn't know until Saturday that a
:07:16. > :07:19.group of his friends were at the Bataclan for the concert on
:07:20. > :07:32.Friday night. There were ten of my friends there
:07:33. > :07:37.and three of them were shot. One was missing, so the day after, they
:07:38. > :07:44.recognised the body so we knew it was that. One of your friend has
:07:45. > :07:50.died and others have been injured. Do you know their condition? We know
:07:51. > :07:56.they are in hospital, they have to have an operation, so I am sad for
:07:57. > :08:02.that but people here in Belfast are really nice, the customers of the
:08:03. > :08:05.restaurant came to shake my hand, to tell me support, so I feel not alone
:08:06. > :08:07.here. Traders at Belfast's continental
:08:08. > :08:12.Christmas market were only setting up their stalls as the scale of what
:08:13. > :08:15.had happened became clearer on for friends and family hundreds of
:08:16. > :08:34.miles away. Very terrible about France, it is
:08:35. > :08:45.strange, I don't know quite, I have my other in Paris, he is all right,
:08:46. > :08:52.so... Some people I know in Paris, something happened to them. I have
:08:53. > :08:56.people working on a Christmas market, everything is closed, all
:08:57. > :09:00.the events in Paris. We feel very sad. It's a difficult time for
:09:01. > :09:02.France. These French sisters watched events
:09:03. > :09:14.unfold on the news, feeling very far We were panicking because we have
:09:15. > :09:20.relatives there and might that friend, so we kept trying to contact
:09:21. > :09:25.them and it was difficult. One of the streets is familiar to me
:09:26. > :09:28.because my mum and dad used to live on one of those streets where the
:09:29. > :09:30.attacks were, and it is just terrifying.
:09:31. > :09:34.announced the country would remain in a state of emergency for three
:09:35. > :09:37.months. Tough new counterterrorism measures will also follow, along
:09:38. > :09:42.with further military strikes against Syria. For one French
:09:43. > :09:44.academic at Queen's it's the mood within France
:09:45. > :09:56.It is worrying for the social cohesion of France. It is the
:09:57. > :10:01.European country with the highest Muslim population and these are
:10:02. > :10:07.people who were French, so when they talk about immigration they are
:10:08. > :10:10.talking about people who are already French, so that would stigmatise
:10:11. > :10:12.people who are not migrants but our French.
:10:13. > :10:17.time to heal, as well as the terrible injuries
:10:18. > :10:23.There was a great sense of relief among those who were in Paris
:10:24. > :10:27.They recalled their experiences as people in town centres,
:10:28. > :10:30.factories and government buildings observed a minute's silence to
:10:31. > :10:46.For us people today were reflecting, one man, a university professor from
:10:47. > :10:55.Northern Ireland, was caught up in the harbour of that night.
:10:56. > :10:57.You don't know what you're running to or
:10:58. > :11:00.running from, and then these two ladies beckoned me into this gated
:11:01. > :11:07.There were about six or seven of us there.
:11:08. > :11:11.Workers lay down their tools at the stroke of 11, lost in thought.
:11:12. > :11:14.Across Northern Ireland, people paying their respects
:11:15. > :11:26.And in Belfast, they came from all over, signing books of condolence.
:11:27. > :11:35.Even if no one reads it, at least you have said the message. It could
:11:36. > :11:39.happen to anybody anywhere. My husband and I attend rock concerts
:11:40. > :11:45.so we felt an affinity with those are affected. There has been a
:11:46. > :11:50.stream of people coming into City Hall to join a cube and sign one of
:11:51. > :11:52.three books of condolence. Some of the messages are simple, praying for
:11:53. > :11:54.Paris to stay strong. Hands across the divide, all
:11:55. > :12:01.in support of the people in Paris. Relieved to be home, these
:12:02. > :12:04.passengers were among the first I was out with my girlfriend, who
:12:05. > :12:10.lives out there. Me and a few other friends were out
:12:11. > :12:14.for a few drinks and we had one person message saying something
:12:15. > :12:16.had happened and we didn't think anything of it, we thought
:12:17. > :12:23.it was a few fights at the football. Then the next event happened.
:12:24. > :12:28.Luckily we had a few friends so could go into the house.
:12:29. > :12:33.Our taxi driver was a lady driver and she cried the whole way round.
:12:34. > :12:40.It was reported on the news here quite quickly so before we knew
:12:41. > :12:42.anything about it we were getting calls from family at home, worried
:12:43. > :12:43.for our safety. The Islamic Centre in Belfast was
:12:44. > :12:54.quick to respond with a statement We share
:12:55. > :12:55.people, so we wanted to tell them our message is that we are against
:12:56. > :13:06.what happened, those those criminals, are not
:13:07. > :13:07.representing us, none of us would condone or would agree with such
:13:08. > :13:08.terrorism. Once the books of condolence
:13:09. > :13:12.are completed, they'll be handed A simple gesture

:14:48. > :14:50.a place where people of all different creeds and colours and

:15:03. > :15:06.McDonnell has said he will give his full support to the new leader
:15:07. > :15:10.of the SDLP, Colum Eastwood. After losing the leadership of
:15:11. > :15:13.the party at its annual conference at the weekend, Mr McDonnell
:15:14. > :15:17.thanked those who had supported him during his four years in charge and
:15:18. > :15:33.said he would continue to work for I have been very proud to lead this
:15:34. > :15:40.party for the past four years. The project was never about me or indeed
:15:41. > :15:47.any other individual. It's about the SDLP and the project that began 45
:15:48. > :15:49.years ago. To create his, prosperity and a new future for this whole
:15:50. > :15:52.island. -- peace. The party's new leader has been
:15:53. > :15:55.speaking to our political editor, Mark Devenport, who asked
:15:56. > :16:04.Mr Eastwood if he had been surprised We were very confident all along
:16:05. > :16:10.that people were responding to a was it of message for the future of the
:16:11. > :16:14.party. I was happy with the responses I got from members across
:16:15. > :16:19.the North and I think it worked out in the end. You paid tribute to
:16:20. > :16:25.Alasdair McDonnell, you said he had given his all for the party. What
:16:26. > :16:31.does your leadership mean? Is it a fresh face on the same policies or
:16:32. > :16:36.will there be a complete overhaul? The SDLP's values are things we all
:16:37. > :16:42.believe in, Alasdair McDonnell has been a fantastic stall Ward and will
:16:43. > :16:48.continue in his role as MP for South Belfast. Talks are pure to be
:16:49. > :16:54.reaching the conclusion, we might have a deal soon at Stormont. From
:16:55. > :16:59.what you have seen of these talks, argue in Klein to back it ought to
:17:00. > :17:04.go against it? We will look at the detail when it arrives. We have a
:17:05. > :17:09.high standard for a deal, we don't want to see negotiations happening
:17:10. > :17:17.next week or in a month's time, issues have to be resolved properly.
:17:18. > :17:21.Welfare was the issue on which the last deal fell so what is your
:17:22. > :17:26.bottom line on welfare? What would it take for the SDLP not to veto any
:17:27. > :17:30.welfare changes? Our bottom line will be discussed during the talks
:17:31. > :17:37.process but we do not think we should sign up to a half its deal.
:17:38. > :17:40.We want to see a deal but can deliver the best outcome for the
:17:41. > :17:46.public so we do not have to keep going back to the table. At the next
:17:47. > :17:51.election Sinn Fein is likely to argue that with Unionism fragmenting
:17:52. > :17:56.there is a big chance they could be the biggest single party, every vote
:17:57. > :18:03.for them is a vote for Martin McGuinness as First Minister. How do
:18:04. > :18:06.you counter that? He has been First Minister for the past eight years
:18:07. > :18:10.and there has not been much delivery. People want to see an end
:18:11. > :18:16.to bickering, they want delivery and I don't think anyone would tell you
:18:17. > :18:17.that the DUP and Sinn Fein have delivered for the public.
:18:18. > :18:19.Tomorrow night's Spotlight programme will be assessing
:18:20. > :18:21.the challenges facing Colum Eastwood as new leader of the SDLP.
:18:22. > :18:24.That's here on BBC One, after our late news.
:18:25. > :18:27.A man and a woman in their 50s were rescued by firefighters
:18:28. > :18:29.after their car became trapped in water near Castlederg yesterday.
:18:30. > :18:33.Large areas of the West were affected by flooding as half
:18:34. > :18:38.of the average monthly rainfall for November fell in just 24 hours.
:18:39. > :18:43.Here's our South West reporter, Julian Fowler.
:18:44. > :18:46.Driving through flood water can be risky.
:18:47. > :18:50.But Fermanaagh care worker Patricia Maguire had little choice
:18:51. > :18:58.in order to reach the homes of five people she helps in Boho.
:18:59. > :19:06.I just looked at it and thought, no way, can't do it in the car, so I
:19:07. > :19:11.went home and asked daddy if he would bring me to work. Daddy being
:19:12. > :19:14.daddy, he just went on. Some people weren't so lucky and
:19:15. > :19:17.had to be towed out of the water. These country roads are prone to
:19:18. > :19:21.flooding and when the floods arrive It wasn't just rural parts
:19:22. > :19:27.of the west that were affected. In Omagh two bridges in the town had
:19:28. > :19:31.to be closed when the Strule rose The flood defences had done
:19:32. > :19:42.their job in protecting large areas In Drumquin the GAA pitch and club
:19:43. > :19:49.house had been submerged, but here But people are still having to cope
:19:50. > :19:56.with floods, although it was an opportunity
:19:57. > :20:09.for fun some couldn't resist. There's been sunshine today as well
:20:10. > :20:18.as a fuel heavy showers and with more rain to come, people will be
:20:19. > :20:22.keeping a close eye on the forecast. I thought Julian was going to jump
:20:23. > :20:23.up and down like the little lad before him!
:20:24. > :20:25.A big night of international football again
:20:26. > :20:28.tonight but before that, a big win for one of our golfers.
:20:29. > :20:32.Yes, we'll be heading to Dublin shortly ahead of tonight's Euro 2016
:20:33. > :20:35.play-off, but first, Graeme McDowell has won the OHL Classic in Mexico
:20:36. > :20:39.The Portrush man hadn't finished in the top ten in any tournament
:20:40. > :20:48.in over a year, but held his nerve to clinch the victory.
:20:49. > :20:58.This part on the 16th green looked like ending Graeme McDowell's hopes.
:20:59. > :21:02.He walked off the 18th, leaving the leader to falter, and he did.
:21:03. > :21:07.Russell Knox dropped a shot on the last, with Mick there will watching
:21:08. > :21:15.on. The tournament went to a three-man play-off. On the first
:21:16. > :21:26.extra hole, he seized his chance. With this stunning approach. It was
:21:27. > :21:33.enough to secure the win. What a golf shot! It gives me something to
:21:34. > :21:38.grab onto. You go through a deer like this, you think I finished, am
:21:39. > :21:43.I not good enough, you ask yourself all the questions. This is the game
:21:44. > :21:50.of golf, it is very difficult but I have been dreaming of this day and I
:21:51. > :21:54.said I would appreciate it when it came, and I will appreciate this
:21:55. > :21:58.because the year has been a growing and this is a step back to where I
:21:59. > :22:01.want to be, I want to win more championships, so this is special.
:22:02. > :22:04.Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland face Bosnia tonight in the second
:22:05. > :22:07.leg of their Euro 2016 play-off tie. It's 1-1 after Friday's first leg.
:22:08. > :22:09.A tense night in prospect as the Republic seek to join
:22:10. > :22:11.Northern Ireland in the finals in France next summer.
:22:12. > :22:26.Yes, there is a nervous energy among supporters around the ground. It is
:22:27. > :22:32.expected to be a full house for this encounter. Martin O'Neill's meant no
:22:33. > :22:38.a victory would send them through to the European finals. We will have
:22:39. > :22:43.views of his team selection for a moment but earlier I spoke to Mark
:22:44. > :22:50.Lawrenson, who said it is a difficult position for the Republic
:22:51. > :22:55.to be in. Do you set back and try and get a goalless game or do you
:22:56. > :23:02.attack? Bosnia know they have to score at least, I think it is
:23:03. > :23:07.difficult and it is a mental thing. If you get a draw, how would you go
:23:08. > :23:11.about it, you have to cause the opposition a problem, you have to
