A teenager has been wounded in the second shooting to be carried

The 17-year-old was found in Carlisle Square in the New Lodge

It's understood his injuries are not life-threatening.

Early this morning, a man in his twenties suffered

several wounds to his body when he was shot in an alleyway

between Sheridan Street and Donore Court in the New Lodge area.

Political negotiations on a programme for Government for

the new Northern Ireland Executive are to begin tomorrow morning.

With the expected re-appointment of the First and Deputy First Ministers

this week, the rest of the Executive's line-up has yet

to be announced, with eight departmental posts to be filled.

BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson looks at the state of the parties

The first meeting of the new Assembly is not until

The first meeting of the new inside here, we can get a really

good idea of what it is going to look like. The largest party, the

DUP, 38 seats again. As for Sinn Fein, 28 seats this time, that is

one down on five years ago. As for the other parties, the Ulster

Unionist stay on 16. The FDL PR down a two on 12. The Alliance Party stay

at eight seats and the Green Party have doubled their representation to

two, people before profit, the new kids on the block, they have two

seats and the TUV leader Jim Allister is back as is the

Independent, Claire Sugden. This is the state of the parties in the new

Stormont 2016. But the -- but how would all be seats translate into

seats at the Executive table? Let us have a look. As you can see, there

are now fewer seats around the Executive table because there are

fewer departments. But Arlene Foster is back and Mark -- Martin

McGuinness is back as Deputy first Mr. The DUP will have three other

ministries, Sinn Fein will have two. The Ulster Unionists will be

entitled to one and the SDLP will be entitled to one. Will they take

them? If they decide not to and go into opposition, their seats will go

to other parties. We have won a spare seat and it is unlikely to go

to the Alliance Party, that is the justice ministry, it was handed to

the Alliance Party last time in a cross community vote and we think

that is likely to happen a cross community vote and we think

Here is the possible shape of the new Executive table. Of course we

An environmental protestor climbed on top of a drill being transported

to an exploratory oil well earlier today and stayed there

The site is at Woodburn forrest near Carrickfergus.

Our North East reporter Sara Girvin was there for BBC Newsline.

The police were expecting a protest today, but they weren't expecting

this. Just after 10am this man climbed a drill part headed forward

burn forest and said he had bought enough supplies to stay there for

two days. This is the first protest that would burn. Crowds had been

gathering cases of February, worried that drilling may pollute drinking

water in thousands of homes in the area. But Northern Ireland Water who

leased the site said they are confident there is no threats.

Speaking to the BBC from behind a police barricade, Mark Chapman

described his decision to climb the drill as a spur of the moment and

said he had a bicycle lock with him on the police attempted to remove

him from the drill, he would chain himself to it. But just before 3pm

after negotiating with the PSNI, the 57-year-old changed his mind and let

the drill of his own accord. He was arrested on... And released on bail.

He said he had no regrets. Committing a small crime like this

to prevent the larger crime of environmental damage will stop

slowly but surely, behind a group of protesters and amid a heavy police

presence, the drill midis drill -- its way to the forest. This

particular part of the campaign may not have lasted as long as Chapman

would have liked, but as you can see, the protest here at Woodburn

continues. A man has been remanded in custody

qualified for a major The current squad are preparing for

the European Championships in June. The tournament in '86 held special

memories for one man in particular, playing against Brazil in his last

match and on his 41st birthday. All the games leading up to the

qualifier, so, just to qualify together in the first place was an

unbelievable achievement for us and then of course to finish up playing

against Brazil on my 41st birthday, I mean, I couldn't have dreamt up

about. Is nice to see them all again and it will give our players a sense

of achievement for what they've managed to achieve so far. But I

thin the important thing for us is to focus on the tournament and we

want to write our own legacy. They've been very successful in

qualification and the key now is to continue with that and make sure

we're not just going out to participate, but to raise some more

memories. A look ahead now to a story on BBC

Newsline tomorrow. With the details, here's our

the journey of one young lad from Strabane he who certainly had all

A good day for a bit of harvesting on this farm in Carrickfergus.

Hello, good evening. What a glorious start to the week. The warmest day

of the year so far and temperatures into the mid-20s out towards the

West. It will probably be the warmest day of the week as well,

because the temperatures are trending downwards. By the end of

the week they will be close at average. There are showers tells

midweek, but a lot of dry weather in the forecast and occasional spells

of sunshine. Tonight, dry with clear spells, not to chilly, 8-9 in the

countryside, most police are sitting in double figures and tomorrow,

another fine day, maybe a bit more high cloud around, making the

sunshine a bit hazy. The most part strike, the exception being parts of

the South and south-east which could get the odd shower. Generally

speaking, it is cloudy across the public of Ireland, sharp showers

here and pretty wet across England and Wales, heavy, thundery rain

likely which could lead to localised flooding, the best weather will be

in the northern half of the country, lots of sunshine for Scotland, but

feeling cool along those North Sea coasts with that easterly breeze, so

the warmest averages will be towards the West. That includes Northern

Ireland, 60 had 17 on the east coast, but that is still above

average. Inland Debord is not as high, but should still reach a

respectable 21-22d. If you're in the sun for any length of time, UV

levels are high. Keep the sun cream handy. Wednesday, cloudy and breezy,

then showery, then turns a dryer on Thursday and Friday.
