Two 17-year-old boys are killed in a car accident | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
An absolute tragedy. We are very saddened and condolences go out to | :00:18. | :00:33. | |

Two teenagers have died in a car crash in County Armagh. | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
The boys, who were both seventeen, were on their way to college | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
in Armagh this morning when their car left | :01:32. | :01:33. | |
the Cladymilltown Road between Newtownhamilton and Markethill. | :01:34. | :01:34. | |
A third student who was with them was injured. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
It was competition time today and the chance to show off hard-won | :01:38. | :01:54. | |
skills and an opportunity to celebrate, but for two of the | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
teenage competitors the day was not to bring celebration but almost | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
unbearable tragedy. The two students were to participate in that skills | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
competition. They were studying fabrication and welding and it is an | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
absolute tragedy. We are deeply saddened by the news that broke this | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
morning and our severe condolences go out to both families and indeed | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
to the third student who thankfully survived the accident. Just what | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
happened will now be the subject of an exhaustive police investigation | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
but it is almost a carbon copy of a crash which claimed the lives of two | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
other college students last year. Back last September we lost two | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
other students from our Greenbank campus. This followed an incident. | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
It is a repeat of the tragedy that struck us then. He says counselling | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
will now be offered to the boys' fellow students well the college | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
will speak to the PSNI and look again to see if there's anything | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
they can do to protect the young drivers. This is unforgiving country | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
for any vehicle that leaves the road. The fact third student | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
apparently walked away seems like something of a medical on this | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
shocking tragedy and this afternoon has condition was described as | :03:25. | :03:25. | |
stable. Tributes have been paid | :03:26. | :03:26. | |
to the little boy knocked down The accident happened | :03:27. | :03:29. | |
on Scrabo Road, as children Joshua Kelly was just six years old. | :03:30. | :03:48. | |
He is survived by his mother cleared and his little sister. He dry at a | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
busy time on his street just as children from the nearby model | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
school were leaving to go home. The accident happened close to his home. | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
He had been trying to cross over to see goodbye to his grandmother. The | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
police have been appealing for witnesses to what happened. Further | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
house-to-house enquiries have been carried out by officers throughout | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
the day. Joshua had been off school with a slight temperature but | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
usually attended primary school in the town. Today his headmaster said | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
he was a beautiful, kind little boy who was very popular with his | :04:27. | :04:37. | |
classmates and staff. He was a source and wellspring of joy in the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
context of his class. I was asking many of the children today about | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
their memories of Joshua and everyone said he was happy, fun, | :04:47. | :04:53. | |
enjoyed chasing people around the playground, a bit of a rascal in the | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
best sense, so in his six years he certainly had a major concentration | :05:00. | :05:06. | |
of very good qualities which have undoubtedly left an imprint on | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
people's lives. The residents Association has sent sympathy to the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
family and added it has been arguing for traffic calming measures for | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
recent years. The family of a man shot dead | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
by a soldier in County Tyrone nearly 30 years ago has welcomed | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
a review of a decision not Aidan McAnespie, a 23-year-old | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
Catholic, was shot as he walked Our home affairs correspondent | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
Vincent Kearney has more. This army checkpoint was the scene | :05:29. | :05:44. | |
of one of the most controversial killings of the troubles. Aidan | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
McAnespie was shot dead as he what threw it on his way to a GA match. | :05:48. | :05:55. | |
He was hit by one of the bullets fired from an army machine gun. His | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
family claim he was deliberately targeted after sustained harassment. | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
The soldier who fired the shots claimed his fingers had been wet and | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
he fired the gun accidentally. He was initially charged with | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
manslaughter. The charges were dropped. He was later medically | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
discharged from the Army. Eight years ago the report by the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
historical enquiries team questioned the soldier's account of what | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
happened. It described his explanation as the least likely | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
version of events. The public prosecution service has now told the | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
family it is reviewing the decision not to prosecute the soldier. We | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
welcome that decision and fuel the original decision was wrong. They | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
left a lot of evidence that could have been used at that time. All we | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
can do is just be hopeful that something is going to come out of | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
this. We are more hopeful now than 20 years ago. I think times have | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
changed. That confidence is shared by the family lawyers. We are very | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
confident that the families will get the correct decision that they have | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
been campaigning for for many years. The evidence we have submitted | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
simply makes it indisputable that Aidan McAnespie was killed | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
deliberately. One year after the report challenged the soldier's | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
version of events the government apologised to the family describing | :07:27. | :07:29. | |
the shooting as a matter of deep regret. The family wants more than | :07:30. | :07:38. | |
sympathy. The family would like to make it a point to the British Army | :07:39. | :07:46. | |
that no one is above the law. Nearly 30 years after the shooting, Aidan | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
McAnespie's family say they hope to have decision from the PPS within a | :07:51. | :07:51. | |
matter of weeks. A senior judge today warned | :07:52. | :08:05. | |
that it may not be possible for the coroner's court to deal | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
with a case where there are allegations that a loyalist gang | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
murdered more than 120 people. Lord Justice Weir said the claims | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
about the activities of the so-called Glenanne gang may | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
have to be dealt with in another way and that it would be up | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
to government to decide how. They came and the hope of getting | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
justice and believed their loved ones were amongst 120 people killed | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
by the Glennane gang, based in South Armagh in the 1970s. It is claimed | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
they not only recruited their members from the UVF but also the | :08:37. | :08:44. | |
RUC and the UDR. 30 years on an inquest review into the deaths of | :08:45. | :08:54. | |
two of their victims, who dry in August 1976 when a car bomb | :08:55. | :09:02. | |
exploded. Inside, Lord Justice we assess the progress of the case. The | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
main issue centred around what the scope of an inquest would be. Would | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
it be a simple inquest into the murders or take into account the | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
tens of other murders linked to the Glennane gang. The family would be | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
happy with an inquest into what happened that night but for the | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
family of Betty MacDonald, they would prefer a broader than quietly | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
taking into account the entire activities of the Glennane gang. For | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
Betty's husband and one of her sons, getting the truth should be an easy | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
matter. It should be just a matter of time and this is part of the | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
process but it is really important not just for us but then everybody | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
else that it comes out. To get the hierarchy to talk. What they are | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
hiding. And why they didn't act on the night my wife was murdered. Lord | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
Justice we are laid out in court was the scope of an enquiry would impact | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
on how long it would take. An inquest into what happened could be | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
heard within two years. However the wider enquiry could take an awful | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
lot longer, and the judge warned that this was a complex case that | :10:20. | :10:25. | |
may not be possible to be heard by a coroner. If that were so it would | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
have to be sent back to the British government to see what they decided | :10:30. | :10:30. | |
to do. A number of people have been | :10:31. | :10:33. | |
moved from their homes because of a security | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
alert in east Belfast. The alert at Medway Street has also | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
led to the closure of the Belfast Let's get more now from Julie | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
McCullough. That had a knock-on effect on the | :10:41. | :10:52. | |
traffic with long queues heading out of Belfast. Passengers on trains | :10:53. | :10:59. | |
should affect significant delays to journeys. | :11:00. | :11:00. | |
new leadership and an assembly election just weeks away we've been | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
Mick Nesbitt is doing a good job with the Ulster Unionist Party think | :11:07. | :11:18. | |
Eileen Foster will be a good First Minister. | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
The main parties at Stormont and the British Ambassador in Dublin | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
are to be invited to the Irish Government's official | :11:27. | :11:27. | |
ceremony to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising. | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
The DUP have already indicated they will not be attending | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
the event, which will be held in March. | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
The Irish government has already started remembering the 1916 rising | :11:35. | :11:51. | |
with this ceremony on New Year's Day. The next major event is the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
official commemoration in March and all the party leaders at Stormont | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
can expect to be invited. We will have the normal invitations going | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
out to the leaders of the different parties in Northern Ireland, so the | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
invitation we will issue and as far as heads of state are concerned | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
there was no plan to invite heads of state but there will be the usual | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
representation in terms of ambassadors. Minister Humphreys got | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
to an invitation today to address a Presbyterian Church confidence in | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Belfast which explored the legacy of the rising and also the Battle of | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
the Somme. She herself is the Presbyterians. She said she wanted | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
the 1916 events to be inclusive but the new DUP leader has already said | :12:40. | :12:46. | |
she will not be at the main commemoration, so if the minister | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
disappointed? I am pleased she has said she will come to some events at | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
some stage and perhaps maybe something like a confidence around | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
1916 and they are different events happening right across the year so I | :13:04. | :13:06. | |
am sure there will be something she is able to attend. And here is one | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
idea that the new First Minister might consider. There is a special | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
event unveiling a wall in which everyone who died, not just those | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
involved in the uprising but members of the British Armed Forces and | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
civilians, everyone is remembered, and listed in alphabetical order. | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
That in itself is significant, and there will be a special | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
commemorative event of which I will be representing the Presbyterian | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Church. 2016 is turning into the year not just of commemorations but | :13:43. | :13:43. | |
invitations. Official figures suggest the local | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
economy slowed down sharply The news comes against the backdrop | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
of fears about the state Our economics and business editor | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
John Campbell is with me. What are these figures? It is | :13:52. | :14:07. | |
something called the composite economic index and it is a look at | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
everything happening in our economy right across the private and public | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
sectors, and if we look at the figures we can see during the summer | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
months it looks like a pretty sharp slowdown with output down by nearly | :14:19. | :14:24. | |
1% and that seems to be driven more by the manufacturing sector slowing | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
down. Looking at the longer view across the whole year bearers growth | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
at just over 1%. We shouldn't be too much into just one set of figures | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
because they can be volatile and subject to revision but we do have | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
information to say that again our economy has recovered much more | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
slowly than the rest of the UK and that trend seems to be continuing | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
and the forecasts predict today says we will be the slowest growing | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
region of any part of the UK for the coming year. And what about this | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
turmoil on the growing economy? Some of the markets were back up again | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
today and I think one important thing for people to keep in mind is | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
that the stock markets are not the economy. They are not the whole | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
economy and even if they go down, it doesn't necessarily follow there | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
will be a recession. There are some things we need to be concerned | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
about. China, which has been driving so much over the past decade, is | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
definitely slowing down as the economy is changing, and the oil | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
prices, good for us as an oil importing country. For those | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
countries exporting oil, and the banks which have led to those | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
countries, clearly that is worrying. There are things to be concerned | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
about and certainly a great deal of instability but I don't think we | :15:40. | :15:40. | |
need to be panicking just yet. In 15 weeks' time, polling | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
stations will be open The leaders of the DUP | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
and the Ulster Unionists are both leading their parties | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
into a Stormont poll Our political correspondent | :15:49. | :15:50. | |
Chris Page has been hearing what voters make of them | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
and assessing the new battleground He begins his report | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
by the sea in Carrickfergus. In the last three assembly elections | :15:56. | :16:10. | |
the electoral tide has flowed towards the DUP. They have 38 seats, | :16:11. | :16:20. | |
the 18. The word bastion could have been invented for Carrickfergus or | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
what to voters think of the Unionist standard-bearers? I quite like | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
Foster. The things I have heard her say, she has got it through and made | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
a lot of sense. Would you choose one over the other? I think both are | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
very good. I like Foster and I think Mike Nesbitt is very sensible. He is | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
doing a good job with the Ulster Unionist Party think Foster will be | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
a good First Minister. Arlene Foster has been the DUP leader since last | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
month. Mike Nesbitt has been in charge of the Ulster Unionists for | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
longer. This is also his first Stormont election as party leader. | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
The spotlight will be on the piano in coming months like never before. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
The DUP belief Foster is a big electoral asset. This is one of the | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
youngest MLEs. She has been a minister for many years and has | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
demonstrated the talent she has. She has a very clear message of where | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
she wants Northern Ireland to be and the kind of society we want to 11, | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
and that message is coming across very clearly and resonating with the | :17:37. | :17:41. | |
voters. But the Ulster Unionists are in buoyant mood after capturing a | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
neighbouring seat from the DUP in the Westminster election. They are | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
hoping for games in the assembly poll including a constituency across | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
the Loc. He thinks as party leaders making a big difference. I think | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
people are getting very fed up with this dynamic of failure and we want | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
something that makes a success of Northern Ireland. Mike has got us to | :18:07. | :18:09. | |
a point we are we are completely united. You will hear that people | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
are fed up, feel undersold and let down and want change but they want a | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
credible alternative. The other parties and in the hunt for Unionist | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
votes as well. The smaller parties will claim they are better choice | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
than the Bectu. We will not back down on the issues of opposition at | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
Stormont. The Sinn Fein-DUP coalition has not worked. The | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
product is still the same. This commentator thinks the recent fresh | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
start agreement will be an important debating point. The DUP and to a | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
certain extent Sinn Fein will use their fresh start deal almost as a | :18:51. | :18:53. | |
rebranding exercise and they have to say although we have been in power | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
for nine years, and we know you're not terribly happy with Stormont, | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
we're not terribly happy ourselves. Give us a chance for another mandate | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
and make a fresh start with us as the lead parties rather than Mike | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
Nesbitt who will be saying make a fresh start with ourselves. The | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
scene is set for an intense contest in Unionist battle grounds. This is | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
a place where Hess that he never feels far away but this year there's | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
a sense that politics is looking to the future. The assembly election | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
will be a key test for Arlene Foster and Mike Nesbitt, two leaders who | :19:31. | :19:33. | |
want to defy the direction of unionism. | :19:34. | :19:34. | |
It's a year of significant centenaries - including the Battle | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
of Jutland - the only major naval battle in the First World War. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
Among the battleships was HMS Caroline - | :19:41. | :19:41. | |
which was starting to decay in its resting place in Belfast. | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
Now though it's being transformed into a museum and opened | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
Donna has been to the docks to see how the refurbishment is getting on. | :19:50. | :20:02. | |
When Irish soldiers were preparing to fight in Flanders Irish sailors | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
were taking part in one of the biggest naval battles of world War I | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
off the coast of Denmark. This is the last surviving ship of the | :20:14. | :20:16. | |
Battle of Jutland. It is having a multi-million pound makeover and I | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
am going on board to see what is going on. It is a construction site | :20:22. | :20:22. | |
and they have to be prepared. The UDA you're standing in was the | :20:23. | :20:40. | |
mess from when the ship was first constructed back in 1914, so what he | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
would have had is all the lads on board the ship. They would have | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
eaten many years and also slept in here so the yearly would've been | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
laid out with bench tables and that make the benches would have been | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
folded down and hammocks slung from the ceiling so there would have been | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
quite a few men occupying this space. How important is this to keep | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
the authenticity of a ship that was part of that great naval battle of | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
Jutland? Any project of this nature we have a balance between | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
conservation and the work we actually undertake to the ship, so | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
we have used historians and archaeologists to make sure we have | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
recorded everything we are doing and we are not impinging on any | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
significant areas of the ship, so anything that has been removed is of | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
no deal historic significance, and what you will see is the stuff that | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
is very important. How much of an undertaking has this been? It is a | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
multi-million pound project will stop it is incredibly difficult | :21:48. | :21:49. | |
because every time we remove something we find something new. We | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
have two reappraise what we are doing and how we are doing it but | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
what we have found as anyone who has come on board to work on this ship | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
has fallen in love with it and taken a huge personal interest in making | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
sure it is the best that can be. As we have lifted up the old surfaces | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
we have been able to find the outlines of existing cabins and | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
machinery possessions and gun supports. There has been so much we | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
have exposed and it has shown what the ship was originally liked. How | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
many are actually on board is doing the repairers? Currently there are | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
about 50 on board from all different rates, mechanical and electrical and | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
we have painters, flowing installers and labourers. Soon we will be up to | :22:43. | :22:48. | |
24 hours a day working. Are you going to be ready on time? Of course | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
we will! Of course we will! It is a tight project but we will be on | :22:55. | :22:55. | |
time. So the clock is ticking to make sure | :22:56. | :23:06. | |
that Carolinas shipshape for the grand opening of June one. If you | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
have a relative who was part of our maritime history on HMS Caroline or | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
some other ship, you could be invited to the special ceremony, | :23:18. | :23:18. | |
details on our Facebook page. Now sport - and Rory McIlroy has had | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
a great start to his season. The Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship | :23:22. | :23:24. | |
is the first tournament of the season for Rory McIlroy - | :23:25. | :23:27. | |
and he's picked up where he left A round of 66, six under par, | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
left the World Number three in third place on the early leaderboard - | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
even impressing his main World number one golfer and playing | :23:37. | :23:55. | |
partner Jordan Spieth described Rory McIlroy's opening round of 2016 as a | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
golfing masterclass, and it was easy to see why. In his first competitive | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
round full eight weeks the superstar pitched and patted his way around | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
the course with relative ease. Two bogeys blotted the scorecard but | :24:12. | :24:14. | |
eight birdies moved him towards the top of the leaderboard. It was a | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
really nice way to start and I played really well and didn't mess | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
many fairways. Around this golf course that's what you need to do | :24:29. | :24:31. | |
because as you have seen even today, if you hit it in the rough, it is | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
hard enough to get to the green. If I keep driving it like that, over | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
the next three days, I am set very good week. Two shots behind the | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
clubhouse leader, an American amateur, Rory McIlroy has certainly | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
started 2016 as he needs to go on. The Belfast Giants ended a four-game | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
losing streak in emphatic They beat the Manchester Storm | :24:55. | :24:56. | |
five-two in the away leg in the first period, | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
through goals by Brandon Benedict and Craig Peacock, and then never | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
relinquished their lead. The second leg of the tie is next | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
Tuesday, but before that the Giants are in action in the Elite League | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
this Friday when Coventry Blaze Finally, Stuart Olding | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
will make his comeback He will play for Ulster A in | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
the British Irish Cup match Olding hasn't played for 10 months | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
after suffering a cruciate ligament Let's get the weather and not too | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
many blue skies today? I have had to wear my bright tie | :25:30. | :25:49. | |
because it is the only bright thing about the weather with a great feel | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
to the day and overnight we have weather warning in place across | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
County Down and parts of County Armagh. The rain comes in through | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
the second half of the night. We could see 20-30 millimetres | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
everywhere and maybe 40 millimetres. The cloud cover keeps the | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
temperature on the mild side with many places staying in double | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
figures. Once the rain clears out of the way it is not going to be a bad | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
day. A day of sunshine and showers so that rain clears out to the east | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
by daybreak and behind that some decent bright sunny spells but we | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
are into a mass of a year so that means temperature is better during | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
the day, up to 12 or 13. The secret to enjoying it is going to be | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
finding a little bit of shelter from this south-westerly breeze and if | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
you manage that it will feel like quite a nice day. Because we have | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
got less in the way of cloud cover it means the temperature will drop | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
away and it will be a cooler nights tomorrow than tonight but the breeze | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
is enough to mean we should see a frost. The breeze is going to be a | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
factor over the next few days with these isobars tightly packed and | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
that is a sign of just from the winds are going to get. It is | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
certainly going to be a factor on Saturday what starts off in quite | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
promising fashion but it doesn't last. Decent bright spells to begin | :27:12. | :27:18. | |
the day but don't wait too long to go out for the walk because it is | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
not long until the rain arrives. We are unlikely I am afraid to see some | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
beautiful skies over the weekend, but for compensation some very mild | :27:29. | :27:29. | |
temperatures. You can also keep in contact with us | :27:30. | :27:30. | |
