A leading member of Sinn Fein has said the Ulster Unionists

:00:00.:00:09.

and the SDLP should go into opposition if they're not

:00:10.:00:11.

prepared to go into the next Executive to govern.

:00:12.:00:15.

Ahead of negotiations set to begin at Stormont

:00:16.:00:17.

tomorrow the two parties say they will consider what's

:00:18.:00:19.

in the new programme for government before deciding.

:00:20.:00:23.

Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon.

:00:24.:00:30.

A new era is about to blossom. Stormont is ready to welcome its

:00:31.:00:38.

next intake. Tomorrow, these parties will be around a different

:00:39.:00:41.

next intake. Tomorrow, these parties trying to agree a programme for

:00:42.:00:42.

government. But who trying to agree a programme for

:00:43.:00:46.

enough to make it to the Executive table? The pollsters delivered

:00:47.:00:52.

disappointing results for the Ulster Unionists and Sinn Fein. So should

:00:53.:00:59.

they the opposition? I hope they went to the election to govern, not

:01:00.:01:01.

to be in opposition. If they went to the election to govern, not

:01:02.:01:07.

be in opposition, go outside and the in opposition. I don't fear them

:01:08.:01:11.

being in opposition. So will they? We

:01:12.:01:14.

being in opposition. So will they? tomorrow morning and talking to the

:01:15.:01:15.

other parties but we want to tomorrow morning and talking to the

:01:16.:01:19.

what the content of the programme for government is. If the content is

:01:20.:01:23.

strong and deliver some of our key policy

:01:24.:01:26.

strong and deliver some of our key government. If it does not, we will

:01:27.:01:28.

need government. If it does not, we will

:01:29.:01:32.

not going in to see government. If it does not, we will

:01:33.:01:38.

trust the people and if it is a forward-thinking programme and if we

:01:39.:01:42.

can trust the other parties. But after not making the

:01:43.:01:49.

can trust the other parties. But forecast, the Alliance wonder

:01:50.:01:51.

whether they will even be part of the negotiations? We will not be

:01:52.:01:57.

there as of right. We would want to be there being able to influence

:01:58.:02:01.

what happens in the room. But it depends whether other parties will

:02:02.:02:07.

want us to be there. It's not for me to dole out munificence to Naomi

:02:08.:02:12.

Long or anyone else. But a week ago you seem to suggest... They are

:02:13.:02:16.

presently an Executive party so I imagine it would be part of the

:02:17.:02:20.

discussions. 29 brand-new MLAs will be part of

:02:21.:02:24.

the next Assembly. Whether anything else will change, we will soon find

:02:25.:02:26.

out. Sinn Fein have condemned

:02:27.:02:28.

the DUP MP Gregory Campbell for comments he made on Facebook

:02:29.:02:30.

about the re-election of Sinn Fein Mr Campbell congratulated Mr

:02:31.:02:33.

McCartney on his excellent election

:02:34.:02:37.

results and said he was breaking the habit of a lifetime

:02:38.:02:39.

by sending him best wishes. He said Mr McCartney had been more

:02:40.:02:43.

successful at electioneering Sinn Fein have called on Mr

:02:44.:02:46.

Campbell to withdraw the comments. We are talking about going in with

:02:47.:03:01.

the DUP to discuss a programme for government and have mutual trust.

:03:02.:03:06.

But Gregory Campbell is a fool. And he is away now to Westminster to

:03:07.:03:09.

retire and I wish him well staying out of the way. There is a lot of

:03:10.:03:14.

contrived anger around this. I think it was a throwaway, joking remark. I

:03:15.:03:20.

think a lot of those who are expressing fury were a lot less low

:03:21.:03:26.

inexpressive inferior and outrage at some of the Twitter comments that

:03:27.:03:29.

have been made recently by the eccentric president of Sinn Fein.

:03:30.:03:32.

The RNLI has issued a warning about taking unsuitable boats

:03:33.:03:35.

to sea, after a father and son were rescued from Strangford Lough

:03:36.:03:38.

when their inflatable dinghy became swamped.

:03:39.:03:39.

The two men got into trouble more than three miles off the shore

:03:40.:03:42.

Their cries were heard on land, and the pair were brought to shore

:03:43.:03:47.

The RNLI say the men had a lucky escape and their inflatable dinghy

:03:48.:03:51.

was more suited to a swimming pool than the sea.

:03:52.:03:54.

Swimmer Bethany Firth has taken a second silver medal

:03:55.:03:57.

at the Paralympic European Championships, in Funchal

:03:58.:04:13.

Russia's Valeria Shabalina set a new world record in their 200

:04:14.:04:17.

metres individual medley final, but for Firth it was

:04:18.:04:19.

She also won silver in her 100 metres breaststroke

:04:20.:04:23.

A look ahead now to a story coming up on BBC Newsline this week -

:04:24.:04:27.

and with the details, here's our north-west

:04:28.:04:29.

I'm here at Old Trafford following the journey of one young lad from

:04:30.:04:39.

Strabane who had the talent to make it big at the Theatre of dreams. But

:04:40.:04:44.

injury halted his career and he lost his life at just 26. That is the

:04:45.:04:51.

agent of the story on BBC newsline. -- the Adrian Doherty story.

:04:52.:04:53.

See more of that special story from Keiron Tourish

:04:54.:04:55.

on the programme this week, starting at 6:30.

:04:56.:04:57.

Well, the sunshine is due to last into the new week.

:04:58.:04:59.

The warmer spell of the year is upon us. A very mild night. You would

:05:00.:05:17.

need the winter duvet. From tomorrow, we are expecting a dry

:05:18.:05:21.

week and it will be warmer. The highest temperature is likely during

:05:22.:05:25.

the first half because we have this warmer air mass coming over us.

:05:26.:05:30.

Tomorrow, in lad, way from the coast, we are likely to see highs

:05:31.:05:35.

and 22 degrees. Well above average for the time of year. The sun is

:05:36.:05:41.

strong at this time of year. We are expecting high UV levels. You will

:05:42.:05:46.

need the sun cream and the hat handy. From the beginning of the

:05:47.:05:51.

day, plenty of blue sky and an offshore breeze making it feel cool

:05:52.:05:55.

in coastal areas. Inland, it will feel quite pleasant. The further

:05:56.:06:01.

south you are, a little bit of cloud coming into parts of Munster and the

:06:02.:06:05.

south-west Wales and the south of England. That will bring some wet

:06:06.:06:12.

weather. North of that, blue skies. For us tomorrow, not a bad evening,

:06:13.:06:16.

probably the best one for the first barbecue of the year. As for

:06:17.:06:23.

Tuesday, not a bad picture at all. Maybe a little bit more cloudy for

:06:24.:06:27.

parts of the south-west coast. Possibly a bit damp but further

:06:28.:06:31.

north, a dry, bright picture with of sunshine. We hold onto the onshore

:06:32.:06:38.

breezes and it will feel a bit cooler in coastal areas. As for the

:06:39.:06:43.

rest of the week, it is set to stay dry. We hold onto temperatures above

:06:44.:06:48.

normal. A look ahead to the weekend suggests the cooler air will move in

:06:49.:06:52.

to bring temperatures back to what they should be for the time of you.

:06:53.:06:57.

Stay tuned to the forecast and listen online as well.

:06:58.:06:59.

Our next BBC Newsline bulletin is at 10:20pm.
