:00:07. > :00:10.A woman's body has been found after a house fire in South Belfast.
:00:11. > :00:13.The fire was reported in the Archdale Drive area
:00:14. > :00:16.of the Belvoir estate at around two o'clock this afternoon.
:00:17. > :00:20.The body of the victim, believed to be in her 50's,
:00:21. > :00:24.An investigation has begun into the cause of the fire
:00:25. > :00:26.and a post mortem examination is due to take place.
:00:27. > :00:29.There are no further details at this stage.
:00:30. > :00:33.A man has escaped injury after a petrol bomb was thrown
:00:34. > :00:38.The occupant had only recently moved into the house.
:00:39. > :00:49.This was the damage caused by last night's attack in this small,
:00:50. > :00:52.close-knit family area. It is understood the occupant is in his
:00:53. > :01:00.30s and has lived here for just eight weeks with. This is about the
:01:01. > :01:05.third attack in the last two months, in Banbridge. What we have seen last
:01:06. > :01:10.night, thankfully, the fire was able to be put out quite quickly, but you
:01:11. > :01:13.know these types of attacks could lead to somebody being really
:01:14. > :01:16.seriously injured, or even worse. The attack happened at around half
:01:17. > :01:20.past ten last night, and the neighbour, who contacted the fire
:01:21. > :01:23.Brigade, said the back wall of the body was ablaze. The flames were
:01:24. > :01:26.confined just to this house, but in a row of terraced housing, the
:01:27. > :01:31.consequences could have been far worse. Just a few feet from where
:01:32. > :01:38.the petrol bomb exploded, lies a neighbour 's oil tank. This is going
:01:39. > :01:42.to lead to someone being killed. Deserve a petrol bomb someone's
:01:43. > :01:47.home, to set someone's car on fire, shows a total disregard for anyone
:01:48. > :01:53.in the vicinity, for families in the vicinity, regardless of who the
:01:54. > :01:57.intended target is or what the reasons behind attacks are. Police
:01:58. > :01:59.say they are working to establish a motive for the attack and are
:02:00. > :02:01.appealing for information. Emergency departments in hospitals
:02:02. > :02:03.across Northern Ireland are currently experiencing
:02:04. > :02:04.a high level of pressure. The Health and Social care board
:02:05. > :02:07.and the Public Health Agency are warning that some patients
:02:08. > :02:10.are having to wait longer In a joint statement they say
:02:11. > :02:13.they're working closely with all five Health Trusts to try
:02:14. > :02:19.and alleviate the pressure. A 29-year-old man is expected
:02:20. > :02:22.to appear in court in Belfast tomorrow charged
:02:23. > :02:24.with attempted murder. It's after a man was found
:02:25. > :02:26.unconscious with severe head injuries at a flat in the mount
:02:27. > :02:32.Vernon area in the north of the city In the Republic the army has been
:02:33. > :02:37.deployed in some areas to rescue Around 130 families
:02:38. > :02:54.have been stranded Almost 300 homes flooded in recent
:02:55. > :03:00.weeks, now another 230 are under threat, and more than 100 cut off.

:03:13. > :03:20.home, I am homeless, I have no home at the moment, I cannot get down, I
:03:21. > :03:24.have been down there on the 21st. I have had a cup of water and a bit to

:03:51. > :03:55.monitored, hovering as they are just below the four metre mark, with more
:03:56. > :04:00.rain expected. Residents have since been allowed to return home. Many

:04:04. > :04:07.people are being warned to take care on flooded roads, Czech Republic
:04:08. > :04:08.transport, and ensure roads are open before setting off.
:04:09. > :04:11.Well let's get a look at the forecast, now,
:04:12. > :04:19.It was nice to see a bit of sunshine the softening. It is still dry in
:04:20. > :04:24.many places at the moment but there is more rain on the way. It is
:04:25. > :04:28.likely to become slow moving across parts of east in particular. Do
:04:29. > :04:34.tomorrow. That could lead to over one inch of rain by the end of
:04:35. > :04:37.Morrow. -- on Monday. The week will be unsettled, with this low-pressure
:04:38. > :04:43.looking after our weather. The rain is so saturated, the ground is
:04:44. > :04:47.risking flooding. There is a drop of temperatures, tempered as in single
:04:48. > :04:54.figures this week. More where they rush expected for this type of year.
:04:55. > :05:00.Rain warnings are still in place over Antrim, down and armour. It is
:05:01. > :05:05.a wet start on the east, on your first day back to work or school,
:05:06. > :05:09.expect areas of water, big puddles, possibly some localised flooding in
:05:10. > :05:14.process, and unsettle generally across the UK and Ireland, with rain
:05:15. > :05:18.never far away, although parts of East Anglia will have a decent chunk
:05:19. > :05:23.of dry weather, but eastern Scotland however there is an amber rain
:05:24. > :05:26.warning, for the next couple of days, so this could see some severe
:05:27. > :05:30.flooding. The east we are concerned about tomorrow, by the end of the
:05:31. > :05:35.day there will be one inch of rain in places, normally not a problem,
:05:36. > :05:41.but because the ground so when it did lead to some localised flooding.
:05:42. > :05:44.Area of low pressure moves away, bringing a area of dryness, before
:05:45. > :05:49.another area of low pressure comes in for the end of the week, bring me
:05:50. > :05:53.more rain. Not a cheery week, areas of rain never far away, and
:05:54. > :05:57.temperatures are going to generally be in single figures. When's they
:05:58. > :06:00.bring some dry weather for a while but more rain comes in from the
:06:01. > :06:07.Atlantic on Wednesday night. That will heavily drop and then slowly
:06:08. > :06:10.move north through Thursday, and becoming more heavy over eastern
:06:11. > :06:14.Scotland and falling snow over high ground. Sunshine though comes in
:06:15. > :06:17.behind it, so some dry weather perhaps later this week.
