:00:11. > :00:13.A man's been injured in the face in an attack
:00:14. > :00:17.Shortly after five o'clock this morning
:00:18. > :00:20.the 24-year-old was found in an entry off Glencairn Way
:00:21. > :00:25.It's understood his injuries aren't life-threatening.
:00:26. > :00:31.on Northern Ireland's roads last year.
:00:32. > :00:33.According to police figures that's five fewer than in 2014.
:00:34. > :00:35.Almost half of those who were killed were drivers.
:00:36. > :00:41.19 pedestrians and four motorcyclists died.
:00:42. > :00:47.Hundred of people have braved icy waters today for a New Year's dip.
:00:48. > :00:50.There were organised swims in Newscastle,
:00:51. > :00:56.and Helen's Bay, but Colletta Smith was in Islandmagee.
:00:57. > :01:05.Between the rain clouds, lots of people got out for a bracing walk at
:01:06. > :01:12.the seaside today. For some, it was very bracing indeed. This was the
:01:13. > :01:19.ninth annual New Year's Day dip. Around 100 people of all ages braved
:01:20. > :01:25.the Irish Sea to raise money for charity. This is a day when most
:01:26. > :01:34.others are glad to be warm and dry. Plenty of people today are mad
:01:35. > :01:38.enough or man enough to brave it in. It has cleared the head from last
:01:39. > :01:44.night. Don't think I will make it an annual thing but thoroughly
:01:45. > :01:51.enjoyable. It was freezing but it was good fun. It has been really
:01:52. > :01:58.good. We are going to get warmed up now. A hot toddy, possibly. It was
:01:59. > :02:08.absolutely freezing. Did you enjoy it? No. It was too cold. We're going
:02:09. > :02:14.to go home and have a nice relaxing bath, like we deserve. Hundreds
:02:15. > :02:21.stayed watching on the sidelines, holding the warm clothes for those
:02:22. > :02:27.mad enough to take a dip. But I'm told, it gets easier the longer you
:02:28. > :02:33.spend in. That certainly seemed to be the case for some. It was
:02:34. > :02:39.actually really nice. Good to see so many people here today. Very nice.
:02:40. > :02:49.The water is lovely. Ayew coming in? No thanks. Stay right here. With a
:02:50. > :02:54.big splash here, one or two little seals did get a taste for the water.
:02:55. > :02:57.A wet suit is just right. In football Linfield
:02:58. > :03:01.moved into second place They beat Crusaders 2-0
:03:02. > :03:05.at Windsor Park to cut Stephen Watson rounds up
:03:06. > :03:16.all the New Year's Day action. Crusaders haven't been beaten in 20
:03:17. > :03:22.league games. Linfield were determined to change that.
:03:23. > :03:29.Persistence from Andy Water Works secured the opening goal. Then
:03:30. > :03:45.keeper Sean O'Neill turned the ball into his own net from a corner. A 11
:03:46. > :03:51.draw at Murray point town. Rodney Brown scored a tapping winner in
:03:52. > :03:58.this game. Paul Michael Roy scored the first goal of the season after
:03:59. > :04:04.seven minutes against Glentoran. A 31 win. The game of the day was a
:04:05. > :04:16.seven goal thriller at Shamrock Park. Portadown had a 3-2 advantage
:04:17. > :04:22.but Ballymena battled back to equalise. In the last minute of the
:04:23. > :04:26.game, they produced a winner by Alan Jenkins. His second. 4-3 and a happy
:04:27. > :04:29.start to the New Year for Ballymena. The weather forecast on this
:04:30. > :04:45.New Year's Day is next 2016 proving to be a damp squib so
:04:46. > :04:48.far with more rain on the way. The weather warnings continue. We will
:04:49. > :04:55.also see the south-easterly breeze picking up. Night-time temperatures
:04:56. > :05:01.are similar to today. Into the weekend, it is going to be Chile on
:05:02. > :05:04.Saturday. We have a rain warning in place. Particularly across the
:05:05. > :05:09.eastern half of Northern Ireland where the rain will be heaviest and
:05:10. > :05:17.most persistent. We have an area of low pressure which is stalled over
:05:18. > :05:21.south-west England. It is feeding in the showers across the Irish Sea
:05:22. > :05:30.coast. Well the north-east of Northern Ireland gets the rain, for
:05:31. > :05:37.the rest of Ireland it is a drier picture for daylight hours. After
:05:38. > :05:43.the old system moves away, a new one takes its place so Sunday will be
:05:44. > :05:49.another wet day. It will bring the risk of some flooding. On Sunday,
:05:50. > :05:54.rain is much more widespread. East and west seeing plenty of rain
:05:55. > :05:57.through the day. We need a couple of weeks of dry weather but there is no
:05:58. > :06:01.sign of that arriving soon. The late news is at
:06:02. > :06:03.11.30 here on BBC One. In 2015, we laughed.
:06:04. > :06:39.THEY CACKLE We cried.
:06:40. > :06:44.You just fall in love with them. We surprised.
:06:45. > :06:48.Which one of yous was it?! Ireland's haunting beauty
:06:49. > :06:52.is legendary.
