A man's been injured in the face in an attack

:00:11.:00:13.

Shortly after five o'clock this morning

:00:14.:00:17.

the 24-year-old was found in an entry off Glencairn Way

:00:18.:00:20.

It's understood his injuries aren't life-threatening.

:00:21.:00:25.

on Northern Ireland's roads last year.

:00:26.:00:31.

According to police figures that's five fewer than in 2014.

:00:32.:00:33.

Almost half of those who were killed were drivers.

:00:34.:00:35.

19 pedestrians and four motorcyclists died.

:00:36.:00:41.

Hundred of people have braved icy waters today for a New Year's dip.

:00:42.:00:47.

There were organised swims in Newscastle,

:00:48.:00:50.

and Helen's Bay, but Colletta Smith was in Islandmagee.

:00:51.:00:56.

Between the rain clouds, lots of people got out for a bracing walk at

:00:57.:01:05.

the seaside today. For some, it was very bracing indeed. This was the

:01:06.:01:12.

ninth annual New Year's Day dip. Around 100 people of all ages braved

:01:13.:01:19.

the Irish Sea to raise money for charity. This is a day when most

:01:20.:01:25.

others are glad to be warm and dry. Plenty of people today are mad

:01:26.:01:34.

enough or man enough to brave it in. It has cleared the head from last

night. Don't think I will make it an annual thing but thoroughly

:01:39.:01:44.

enjoyable. It was freezing but it was good fun. It has been really

:01:45.:01:51.

good. We are going to get warmed up now. A hot toddy, possibly. It was

:01:52.:01:58.

absolutely freezing. Did you enjoy it? No. It was too cold. We're going

:01:59.:02:08.

to go home and have a nice relaxing bath, like we deserve. Hundreds

:02:09.:02:14.

stayed watching on the sidelines, holding the warm clothes for those

:02:15.:02:21.

mad enough to take a dip. But I'm told, it gets easier the longer you

:02:22.:02:27.

spend in. That certainly seemed to be the case for some. It was

:02:28.:02:33.

actually really nice. Good to see so many people here today. Very nice.

:02:34.:02:39.

The water is lovely. Ayew coming in? No thanks. Stay right here. With a

:02:40.:02:49.

big splash here, one or two little seals did get a taste for the water.

:02:50.:02:54.

A wet suit is just right. In football Linfield

all the New Year's Day action. Crusaders haven't been beaten in 20

:03:06.:03:16.

league games. Linfield were determined to change that.

:03:17.:03:22.

Persistence from Andy Water Works secured the opening goal. Then

:03:23.:03:29.

keeper Sean O'Neill turned the ball into his own net from a corner. A 11

:03:46.:03:51.

this game. Paul Michael Roy scored the first goal of the season after

:03:52.:03:58.

seven minutes against Glentoran. A 31 win. The game of the day was a

:03:59.:04:04.

seven goal thriller at Shamrock Park. Portadown had a 3-2 advantage

:04:05.:04:16.

but Ballymena battled back to equalise. In the last minute of the

:04:17.:04:22.

game, they produced a winner by Alan Jenkins. His second. 4-3 and a happy

:04:23.:04:26.

start to the New Year for Ballymena. The weather forecast on this

:04:27.:04:29.

New Year's Day is next 2016 proving to be a damp squib so

:04:30.:04:45.

far with more rain on the way. The weather warnings continue. We will

:04:46.:04:48.

also see the south-easterly breeze picking up. Night-time temperatures

:04:49.:04:55.

are similar to today. Into the weekend, it is going to be Chile on

:04:56.:05:01.

Saturday. We have a rain warning in place. Particularly across the

:05:02.:05:04.

eastern half of Northern Ireland where the rain will be heaviest and

most persistent. We have an area of low pressure which is stalled over

coast. Well the north-east of Northern Ireland gets the rain, for

:05:22.:05:30.

the rest of Ireland it is a drier picture for daylight hours. After

:05:31.:05:37.

the old system moves away, a new one takes its place so Sunday will be

:05:38.:05:43.

another wet day. It will bring the risk of some flooding. On Sunday,

:05:44.:05:49.

rain is much more widespread. East and west seeing plenty of rain

:05:50.:05:54.

through the day. We need a couple of weeks of dry weather but there is no

:05:55.:05:57.

sign of that arriving soon. The late news is at

:05:58.:06:01.

11.30 here on BBC One. In 2015, we laughed.

:06:02.:06:03.

THEY CACKLE We cried.

:06:04.:06:39.

You just fall in love with them. We surprised.

:06:40.:06:44.
