:00:13. > :00:16.Good evening, the headlines on BBC Newsline: The Arlene Arkinson

:00:17. > :00:19.inquest hears the INLA took someone hostage and questioned them

:00:20. > :00:28.Now the First Minister suggests the system should change to one

:00:29. > :00:34.I'm live at Belfast city hall where councillors are preparing

:00:35. > :00:37.to vote on whether or not to give planning permission for more

:00:38. > :00:47.A pigeon fancier gets ?60,000 in damages after hounds from a hunt

:00:48. > :00:50.veterans receive France's highest military honour.

:00:51. > :00:53.A dramatic night of local football at both ends of the league table.

:00:54. > :00:58.And as wind and rain clear tonight there is a risk of sleet and snow

:00:59. > :01:06.for some as we head towards the morning rush hour.

:01:07. > :01:10.First the Arlene Arkinson inquest, and police documents have revealed

:01:11. > :01:15.that a member of the INLA held someone hostage and questioned them

:01:16. > :01:20.at length about the teenager's disappearance 22 years ago.

:01:21. > :01:23.At the coroner's court today, lawyers for the Arkinson family

:01:24. > :01:27.objected to the fact that a lot of information in the police files

:01:28. > :01:33.The police have a Public Interest Immunity Certificate which allows

:01:34. > :01:43.Tell us more about their row between the family and the police.

:01:44. > :01:47.This row is about a lever-arch file full of police documents and how

:01:48. > :01:51.The Coroner has read it all but the legal team acting

:01:52. > :01:55.for Arlene Arkinson's family have a copy with lots of blacked out

:01:56. > :01:57.information which the police have asked to be kept secret.

:01:58. > :02:03.This afternoon the Coroner heard the arguments of the PSNI in private

:02:04. > :02:06.as he said there was a very serious risk to the administration

:02:07. > :02:09.of justice if the family, the public or the media saw

:02:10. > :02:13.But before we were all asked to leave the courtroom

:02:14. > :02:15.the Arkinsons' lawyer asked for more information behind some

:02:16. > :02:32.Arlene Arkinson disappeared from Castle Burke in 1994. Today the

:02:33. > :02:36.court heard about police document saying that someone was abducted by

:02:37. > :02:40.the INLA and questioned about her murder. The police have asked for

:02:41. > :02:45.the name of that person to be withheld. Another new revelation was

:02:46. > :02:48.that early in the investigation police thought there might be a link

:02:49. > :02:54.between Arlene 's disappearance and the murder of the teenager Sylvia

:02:55. > :02:59.Fleming for years later. She was 17 and pregnant when she was murdered

:03:00. > :03:03.and her body dismembered. Her former boyfriend was found guilty and sent

:03:04. > :03:08.to prison. The Arkansas family want to know why police eventually

:03:09. > :03:12.decided there was no credible link between the cases. In 1996 police

:03:13. > :03:17.and the media arrived at the same time to dig up the garden of her

:03:18. > :03:21.sister Cathy. The family's lawyers want to know why the person who made

:03:22. > :03:27.the call leading to the search isn't named anywhere in the documents.

:03:28. > :03:30.That will all remain a mystery. If the public interest immunity

:03:31. > :03:33.significant is upheld the judge will announce tomorrow how much if any of

:03:34. > :03:35.that file he is happy to reveal. The First Minister Arlene Foster

:03:36. > :03:38.says the Assembly should move to an expenses system

:03:39. > :03:40.similar to Westminster's. She was reacting to concerns

:03:41. > :03:44.from the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority about the way

:03:45. > :03:50.some MLAs have been overturning The body which runs Stormont,

:03:51. > :03:56.the Assembly Commission, will meet Here's our political

:03:57. > :04:12.correspondent Gareth Gordon. How should MLAs conduct themselves

:04:13. > :04:16.and the difficult issue of expenses? The first and Deputy First Ministers

:04:17. > :04:21.watch the Ulster Orchestra makes in harmony two is instalment today.

:04:22. > :04:26.They know the issue of money is back in play because of claims made by

:04:27. > :04:32.the independent panel that sets MLAs pay. I'm sure there's not one MLA in

:04:33. > :04:38.the place you would object to having a fresh look at how we can remove

:04:39. > :04:43.from the public mind any suggestion whatsoever that there are people up

:04:44. > :04:50.here feathering their nests and that isn't happening. Certainly, where

:04:51. > :04:55.public money is concerned, to allay the concerns that the public may

:04:56. > :04:58.have let's look at how we can do things better. We have always said

:04:59. > :05:02.there is a need to be as open as possible. Indeed, we had suggested

:05:03. > :05:11.when this came up the last time that we should move to a model that they

:05:12. > :05:16.have in Westminster and they are happy to operate in that model and

:05:17. > :05:20.so are we. At that time, we didn't receive support in relation to that

:05:21. > :05:27.suggestion and perhaps the other parties might look at that

:05:28. > :05:30.suggestion again. It is so is the independent parliament to standards

:05:31. > :05:38.authority which sets MPs pay and expenses at Westminster. The body

:05:39. > :05:42.behind the report link to the BBC as new questions over how MLAs at

:05:43. > :05:46.Stormont punches challenge the authorities when expenses claims are

:05:47. > :05:52.refused. They said they were told of one or two cases in which MLAs

:05:53. > :05:56.having had a claim refused were approached a senior member of

:05:57. > :06:01.assembly staff. Often these approaches were successful. In one

:06:02. > :06:05.case, a Stormont staff member requested justification for high

:06:06. > :06:09.value bill incurred on the MLA was on holiday. The unnamed politician

:06:10. > :06:15.escalated the issue to the senior management of the assembly. They

:06:16. > :06:19.concluded this informal ad hoc approach is not a robust mechanism

:06:20. > :06:24.for reviewing refusals of claims. The body has now said that Stormont

:06:25. > :06:29.review system should be strengthened so it becomes entirely formal,

:06:30. > :06:34.documented and consistent. The idea seems to have struck a chord with

:06:35. > :06:36.the executive's leaders, will a change of tune now follow?

:06:37. > :06:39.Plenty to come before seven, including a tour of some

:06:40. > :06:43.of the new student flats for Belfast as city councillors decide

:06:44. > :06:51.on whether to give planning permission for more.

:06:52. > :06:55.Assembly members faced the anger of teachers today over a Department

:06:56. > :07:00.of Education scheme to replace 500 older staff

:07:01. > :07:05.Our Education Correspondent Robbie Meredith was listening as some

:07:06. > :07:08.experienced teachers voiced their concern

:07:09. > :07:25.After seven years of teaching on temporary contracts, Katrina wants a

:07:26. > :07:30.full-time teaching job but she has a fight on our hands. At half term,

:07:31. > :07:35.she's brought her plea to Stormont. Every year around this time I start

:07:36. > :07:41.to worry. Will I be working in September? Will I have a job next

:07:42. > :07:45.year? Can I pay my mortgage? From September, I don't get paid. I have

:07:46. > :07:52.do save throughout the year to create myself a wage over those

:07:53. > :07:55.months. The problem is that she has too much experience to apply for the

:07:56. > :07:59.new jobs. The department said they will only be open to those who have

:08:00. > :08:03.graduated within the past three years. Today she and some of the

:08:04. > :08:07.teachers who also affected are in the room behind me telling their

:08:08. > :08:12.stories to members of Stormont education committee. Give us more

:08:13. > :08:17.funding to support smaller class sizes, better education for children

:08:18. > :08:21.and abetted future for Northern Ireland. Many of the stories they

:08:22. > :08:29.heard were the same. I'm not entitled to sick pay. Not anything,

:08:30. > :08:32.my principal... I would love a full-time teaching job. It's my

:08:33. > :08:36.dream. At the end of the day, not asking anybody to give me a job but

:08:37. > :08:39.we just want the chance to be able to go for jobs. In the next two

:08:40. > :08:42.years there will be huge decisions for my family based on what goes

:08:43. > :08:47.ahead will stop what kind of decisions? To actually move to

:08:48. > :08:54.somewhere like Australia. That's how big it is. The final decision rests

:08:55. > :08:59.with the education minister. He says he is listening. What I'm doing is

:09:00. > :09:01.creating new jobs, new employment opportunities. One look at the

:09:02. > :09:04.employment statistics, it shows those teachers who are over five

:09:05. > :09:11.most recently within the last three years find it most difficult to

:09:12. > :09:14.obtain permanent employment. All options are being explored. Katrina

:09:15. > :09:17.went be alone in hoping John O'Dowd has room for manoeuvre.

:09:18. > :09:20.A man has been airlifted to hospital after falling from his fishing boat

:09:21. > :09:23.after a large wave hit it when it was just over 20 miles off

:09:24. > :09:27.An Irish coastguard rescue helicopter was called and the man

:09:28. > :09:29.was airlifted to Daisyhill Hospital where he is being treated

:09:30. > :09:40.Northern Ireland is heading for some of the lowest home ownership rates

:09:41. > :09:47.New research shows the region is embracing what has become

:09:48. > :09:55.Here's our business correspondent Julian O'Neill.

:09:56. > :10:03.The housing market is gradually coming back to life. It's not just

:10:04. > :10:07.prices which have taken a tumble. I'm ownership is down and more and

:10:08. > :10:12.more people are renting. The reasons are many and partly confidence in

:10:13. > :10:16.the market has yet to return fully and is not enough new homes are

:10:17. > :10:24.being built. Supply equals demand equal splice. At the minute the

:10:25. > :10:27.demand is not feeding the supply. The alternative is to rent but it's

:10:28. > :10:33.not a bad alternative and there are good quality properties out there.

:10:34. > :10:38.New research by business organisations has tracked ownership

:10:39. > :10:41.in Northern Ireland. In 2000, 70 2% people here were classed as

:10:42. > :10:52.homeowners. Either outright with a mortgage. Two years ago, that had

:10:53. > :10:56.fallen to 65%. By 2025, it could have decreased to 59%. That would be

:10:57. > :11:01.one of the lowest rates of any of the UK's regions. In fact only

:11:02. > :11:06.really Scotland and London would have a smaller proportion of home

:11:07. > :11:12.owners. The drift towards the so-called generation rent appears to

:11:13. > :11:17.have taken hold. The private rental sector is forecast to keep growing.

:11:18. > :11:24.With the next generation of earners less inclined and less able to

:11:25. > :11:29.aspire to home ownership. These new graduates and they have this huge

:11:30. > :11:34.amount of debt and then they have to think about affording a mortgage,

:11:35. > :11:40.putting a deposit on a house which could be eight grand or ten grand or

:11:41. > :11:44.whatever you want to say. By 2025, one in five people here could be

:11:45. > :11:48.renting the roof over their heads. On the London will be

:11:49. > :11:50.proportionately higher. -- only in London.

:11:51. > :11:52.Another 1,000 student apartments have been given planning permission

:11:53. > :12:01.There are now around 2,500 student flats which either have planning

:12:02. > :12:05.permission or are under construction in the city.

:12:06. > :12:07.Our Economics and Business Editor John Campbell is at the City Hall

:12:08. > :12:11.where the planning committee has been meeting.

:12:12. > :12:19.Take us through the details of these latest 1,000 apartments.

:12:20. > :12:26.There's been a flurry of planning applications for student

:12:27. > :12:32.accommodation in recent months. The biggest reason for that is Ulster

:12:33. > :12:36.university's expansion. They are moving the campus into the centre of

:12:37. > :12:40.town and that has provoked developers to find places for seems

:12:41. > :12:43.to live. The first of the applications up tonight is very

:12:44. > :12:48.close to the campus, York street where there is an office block that

:12:49. > :12:53.they are going to pull down and put up more than 470 flats. That area of

:12:54. > :12:59.town actually campus will be a real harbour. Closer to the centre of

:13:00. > :13:04.Belfast around the back of the crown bar, we have a plan for 400 flats,

:13:05. > :13:11.they will be solely for Queens university students. Work has begun

:13:12. > :13:15.there and tearing down a building. The third development has been quite

:13:16. > :13:20.controversial. The smallest, hundred and 50 bedrooms on the Dublin road.

:13:21. > :13:24.Some people in that area are unhappy about this plan will stop they say

:13:25. > :13:27.it will overshadow their homes, noise anti-social behaviour, there

:13:28. > :13:32.has been a lengthy discussion about that scheme at the council tonight

:13:33. > :13:40.with some raising the issue of car parking, noise, how would you like

:13:41. > :13:45.150 students living on your doorstep? After this discussion, the

:13:46. > :13:48.decision was taken to defer the application so the councillors will

:13:49. > :13:53.come back and look at it again next month. You've taken a tour around a

:13:54. > :13:59.student accommodation scheme which has almost completed, where is it?

:14:00. > :14:04.It's not just schemes in planning, some have been built. There is a

:14:05. > :14:07.small scheme in the centre of Belfast which has been running for a

:14:08. > :14:12.few months. Today I was looking at a much bigger scheme, the old Belfast

:14:13. > :14:16.Tech and when it's completed it will be home to more than 400 students.

:14:17. > :14:21.Construction crews have been working on this historic building for more

:14:22. > :14:28.than a year. The wraps will soon be coming. Inside the old tech, the

:14:29. > :14:31.result of a ?16 million conversion are already clear. The first

:14:32. > :14:38.residents are due to moving in September. Like all the big student

:14:39. > :14:42.schemes, it's described as managed accommodation but what is that

:14:43. > :14:45.actually mean? When we take on students, they have designed a

:14:46. > :14:53.tenancy agreements, they are detailed about standards of

:14:54. > :14:55.behaviour, and we are talking to this tune is about their

:14:56. > :14:59.responsibility and being a good neighbour and about how they treat

:15:00. > :15:03.each other so not only within the building but also outside the

:15:04. > :15:08.building. These rooms are certainly a step up from traditional digs.

:15:09. > :15:14.They start at ?120 a month right up to one had an ?80 a month for the

:15:15. > :15:17.bigger sweets. The developments are confident they can fill it and is

:15:18. > :15:21.other pop projects follow the centre of Belfast will be reshaped.

:15:22. > :15:34.I should say having listened to my piece is talking about the flats

:15:35. > :15:39.costing 120 a month, that'll be very cheap. It's actually 120 a week.

:15:40. > :15:44.Let's get that clear. There are lots more applications in the system.

:15:45. > :15:48.Queens has one scheme and College Avenue opposite that one which I was

:15:49. > :15:52.looking at which will provide accommodation for up to 900

:15:53. > :15:57.students. A couple more around York street, plans for the old athletic

:15:58. > :16:01.building in the centre of Belfast to be accommodation. By my reckoning

:16:02. > :16:07.that are half a dozen more schemes in the system but not all of them

:16:08. > :16:13.will get planning permission and even some of those that do get

:16:14. > :16:19.permission won't be built. How many schemes can the city actually take?

:16:20. > :16:24.There is a document the council have produced which the ladies out there

:16:25. > :16:28.policy around student of housing but they don't give a magic number. No

:16:29. > :16:35.number there which says this is the optimum amount. Really, what were

:16:36. > :16:41.looking at is somewhere between five and 6000 is the most that the market

:16:42. > :16:44.can bear. It's going to be down to a choice for developers. They were to

:16:45. > :16:48.look around and think how many students are they going to be here,

:16:49. > :16:53.how much do they want to pay, will it be viable for me to build this

:16:54. > :16:57.building? Make no mistake, there will be an awful lot of student

:16:58. > :17:00.flats built in the centre Belfast and that is going to change the

:17:01. > :17:07.complexion of the city quite radically. We heard earlier about

:17:08. > :17:13.falling home ownership. What impact could that have one student

:17:14. > :17:16.accommodation? I don't think there's any direct link but what we are

:17:17. > :17:21.saying is that being a student is much more expensive than it was a

:17:22. > :17:27.generation ago. Aside from those housing costs, we know we have

:17:28. > :17:30.tuition fees, whenever students are leaving university they already have

:17:31. > :17:34.a big bunch of debt, they had to pay back some of those debts and that

:17:35. > :17:39.makes it harder to save for a deposit so it is not the only factor

:17:40. > :17:43.at the cost of getting an education is one of the factors which means

:17:44. > :17:45.that fewer young people can afford to buy their own home.

:17:46. > :17:48.Still to come on BBC Newsline this evening: France's highest military

:17:49. > :18:04.honour is given to local veterans who took part in the D-Day landings.

:18:05. > :18:07.Thieves have tried to steal an ATM at Portadown railway station.

:18:08. > :18:10.Around 3:50 this morning, police received a report of a window

:18:11. > :18:13.It was then discovered that there were straps around

:18:14. > :18:22.the cash machine and a vehicle had been used to try and drag it away.

:18:23. > :18:24.More than 20 D-Day veterans from Northern Ireland were honoured

:18:25. > :18:32.At a special ceremony at Thiepval army barracks in Lisburn,

:18:33. > :18:35.the former servicemen came together to be awarded France's

:18:36. > :18:38.highest distinction, the Legion d'Honneur.

:18:39. > :18:41.Our reporter Mervyn Jess has this report and we must warn

:18:42. > :18:56.They may not be just as able as they once were but there is no denying

:18:57. > :19:01.the strength of bond that still unites these D-Day veterans. More

:19:02. > :19:04.than 20 former servicemen from Northern Ireland gathered at the

:19:05. > :19:14.barracks in Lisburn this morning. They receive the highest distinction

:19:15. > :19:18.France can the stove. -- the stove. The honorary Consul from France

:19:19. > :19:22.pinned the award and regimental blazers already straining with World

:19:23. > :19:26.War II medals. The decision to give the highest distinction the country

:19:27. > :19:30.can offer to all those involved in D-Day and the liberation of France

:19:31. > :19:37.was announced in 2014 and the 70th anniversary of the landings. It took

:19:38. > :19:49.along time. Eventually we got it. Sky-high. They got a list of medals

:19:50. > :19:53.below that! Up there. Highways wondered, it must been terrible to

:19:54. > :19:58.arrive that they and never thought I would have spoken and met some of

:19:59. > :20:04.the soldiers who came there. It's incredible. Former commando George

:20:05. > :20:11.landed in France before the main assault began. I landed before the

:20:12. > :20:15.assault group and guided them in. There was 100 odd of ours and only

:20:16. > :20:19.four of us came back. There were only for the came back. Their

:20:20. > :20:23.numbers may be dwindling but today the people of France officially

:20:24. > :20:27.recognised what they did more than 70 years ago.

:20:28. > :20:34.Now sport, and one of Ulster rugby's young stars has signed a new deal.

:20:35. > :20:37.At just 23 years old, Stuart Olding is one

:20:38. > :20:40.of the brightest prospects in Irish rugby.

:20:41. > :20:44.Ulster today announced a contract extension that will keep him

:20:45. > :20:47.at Kingspan Stadium until the summer of 2019.

:20:48. > :20:51.Olding, who can operate in several positions across the backline,

:20:52. > :20:56.has already overcome two serious knee injuries in his career.

:20:57. > :20:58.He announced his return after a year out by clinching a bonus point

:20:59. > :21:01.with a late try in the win over Treviso last month.

:21:02. > :21:07.And he also started in the recent triumphs over Dragons and Glasgow.

:21:08. > :21:10.Glenavon had the opportunity to close the gap on the three teams

:21:11. > :21:13.above them in local football's Irish Premiership.

:21:14. > :21:17.But their eight-match unbeaten run came to an end at the hands

:21:18. > :21:20.of Glentoran, as they were beaten 3-1 at home.

:21:21. > :21:34.Curtis Allen opened the scoring for the visitors with a neat finish. The

:21:35. > :21:38.equaliser for the home side came in the second half when Kevin Bell

:21:39. > :21:44.hooked the ball in from close range from a jolt to the corner. Alan was

:21:45. > :21:51.on target midway through the second half when he cut inside and has shot

:21:52. > :21:55.on the bottom corner. Glentoran sealed the 3-pointer with a third

:21:56. > :22:01.goal as Jonathan Smith beat the offside trap and the goalkeeper to

:22:02. > :22:06.make it 31. There was still time for Glentoran to have a penalty when

:22:07. > :22:10.Andy fouled Smith. Allen missed the opportunity of a hat-trick as

:22:11. > :22:15.Eclipse the crossbar. I want to score goals, doesn't matter how

:22:16. > :22:20.many. I want to scorch every chance I have disappointed. Be thinking

:22:21. > :22:23.about it tonight and tomorrow but that's football and over the moon we

:22:24. > :22:30.have three points. We're disappointed. Was an opportunity to

:22:31. > :22:39.gain three points and come within three points of Linfield and we

:22:40. > :22:45.haven't done it. Warren points good run came to an end against Dungannon

:22:46. > :22:51.swifts. They claimed three vital points. Colin Allard also moved four

:22:52. > :22:56.points clear of Warrenpoint at the bottom with a one nil home win over

:22:57. > :22:57.Portadown. James McKenna with a second-half strike as he slotted in

:22:58. > :22:59.the rebound. Belfast has won the right

:23:00. > :23:02.to host the World 24-Hour It will be held in Victoria Park

:23:03. > :23:07.in the east of the city The event is a test of endurance

:23:08. > :23:11.with the winner being the athlete who runs the furthest distance

:23:12. > :23:25.within a 24-hour time-span. One of the key things was to get a

:23:26. > :23:28.venue for it. The development here at Victoria Park helped enormously

:23:29. > :23:35.because we had a mile long circuit that we could use so once we had the

:23:36. > :23:39.venue then the last six years we had a track, sorry to have to move from

:23:40. > :23:41.there because we enjoyed being there so we been building up the

:23:42. > :23:45.organisation and the support for it and we decided to go for it last

:23:46. > :23:49.November and were lucky enough to get it. I think there's something

:23:50. > :23:53.that's captures the imagination about the 24 hour event. They gives

:23:54. > :23:57.an opportunity to push yourself, see how far you can go. What you're made

:23:58. > :24:05.of, really. The other thing that draws me to earn it 24-hour event is

:24:06. > :24:09.the people who support it, the camaraderie with the competitors and

:24:10. > :24:13.you get the opportunity to spend 24 hours with the best of human nature.

:24:14. > :24:15.There is something very exciting about that.

:24:16. > :24:18.The Belfast Giants are back in Elite League action at home

:24:19. > :24:20.tonight against the Dundee Stars and are looking to end a four-game

:24:21. > :24:25.losing streak that has severely dented their championship chances.

:24:26. > :24:29.But they still have two other trophies to chase.

:24:30. > :24:40.For Dundee, it's a game where both teams have had trouble winning and

:24:41. > :24:44.over the next ten games we have, when we hit the challenge cup and

:24:45. > :24:48.play-offs, we are filing on all cylinders on the lead gets back in

:24:49. > :24:53.the picture and we will go for it but at the moment are looking for

:24:54. > :24:56.play-offs and a challenge cup to find a game and make sure we are one

:24:57. > :25:02.of the percent nailed down and everything. Finally, Joe Swale is

:25:03. > :25:03.out after losing four frames the three in the second round to doing

:25:04. > :25:07.jungle we in the snooker. The forecast is next

:25:08. > :25:20.with Angie Phillips. What a horrible day! After a

:25:21. > :25:24.promising start. It was downhill once again today. That is because we

:25:25. > :25:28.had a weather front moving in the Atlantic, not only has it brought

:25:29. > :25:34.persistence spells of rain, we've had quite a gusty wind through the

:25:35. > :25:39.day. Those isobars are opening out a little bit. Nevertheless, still

:25:40. > :25:42.breezy for this evening. Still pretty wet. Assistant and heavy

:25:43. > :25:48.burst of rain are around. Unpleasant. That is this end of the

:25:49. > :25:52.night and on the other end we have another problem because as that's

:25:53. > :25:56.rain clears we have colder air tucking in behind. It could be as

:25:57. > :26:02.temperatures dipped to freezing, the back edge of the rain and showers

:26:03. > :26:10.could be sleet and snow. Especially but not exclusively over high ground

:26:11. > :26:13.in Antrim. That's no warning will linger into rush-hour. Could be

:26:14. > :26:20.slushy but Italy and higher roads and some icy patches. Bear that in

:26:21. > :26:24.mind. It's a great start. We have wintry showers around tomorrow

:26:25. > :26:29.morning and still I see through the rush hour. Things will improve, it

:26:30. > :26:33.will cheer up through the day. Sunshine will return and we will see

:26:34. > :26:37.dry weather. Could take until late morning before the clouds clear away

:26:38. > :26:42.from eastern areas but it will brighten up here and we'll see

:26:43. > :26:46.plenty of sunshine. By the winds tomorrow and with the sunshine lower

:26:47. > :26:51.temperatures of five or 6 degrees shouldn't feel too bad. We may get

:26:52. > :26:55.wintry showers in the North and West later in the day. They could come

:26:56. > :27:00.inland as we head to tomorrow night and as a temperatures fall away to

:27:01. > :27:07.freezing or below we are looking at widespread frost and some icy

:27:08. > :27:10.patches. On Thursday, they could be if you wintry showers around in the

:27:11. > :27:15.hills in the north and west but still dry and bright weather, still

:27:16. > :27:18.on the chilly side but towards the weekend the temperatures are coming

:27:19. > :27:20.up again but it is also turning more and settle.
