:00:52. > :00:55.started and one of the main topics discussed by the farmers is the EU

:00:56. > :01:04.referendum. Join me for more on that later. After a lengthy campaign,

:01:05. > :01:06.North West 200 ads and air ambulance to its medical support team. Join me

:01:07. > :01:10.live on the north coast. And it's been a warm day

:01:11. > :01:13.here and it's a warm day tomorrow, I will be back later

:01:14. > :01:16.in the programme. The Home Office has raised the level

:01:17. > :01:22.of threat dissident Republicans pose to Great Britain from

:01:23. > :01:25.moderate to substantial. Our Home Affairs Correspondent

:01:26. > :01:38.Vincent Kearney can tell us more. Why has the threat level increased?

:01:39. > :01:41.MI5 assesses the level of threat posed by dissidents within Northern

:01:42. > :01:46.Ireland and in Great Britain. The escalation of the threat they pose

:01:47. > :01:50.in England, Scotland and Wales means that MI5 believe the capacity and

:01:51. > :01:54.capability of dissidents has grown significantly join the past year.

:01:55. > :01:57.This move follows years briefings from the police and Security

:01:58. > :02:02.Services who said that while dissidents had a high level of

:02:03. > :02:05.intense, until recently, they do not have the capacity to do so, but

:02:06. > :02:10.that's clearly has changed and that is very clear from the briefing

:02:11. > :02:13.given to the North Antrim MP Ian Paisley in London this morning

:02:14. > :02:18.shortly before news of this was made public. We've known for some time at

:02:19. > :02:20.dissidents have wanted that to build their campaign to terrorise the

:02:21. > :02:24.British people and show they can take the war to the British mainland

:02:25. > :02:29.and they said as much in the recent barbaric murder of John Ismay. And

:02:30. > :02:33.that is clear what they are trying to do. What is worrying is that

:02:34. > :02:38.between the last briefing under this one, the dissidents did not appear

:02:39. > :02:42.to have capacity. Clearly they are building capacity and that means

:02:43. > :02:47.potentially, kicking ability here on the mainland, as well as personnel

:02:48. > :02:53.and there's been a willingness to track a ability. That's why this is

:02:54. > :02:57.increased. What is the assessment actually mean? To increase the

:02:58. > :03:01.threat level from moderate to substantial means a likelihood of an

:03:02. > :03:05.attack has gone up from possible but not likely, to a strong possibility.

:03:06. > :03:13.It does not mean MI5 have intelligence that dissidents are

:03:14. > :03:16.planning an attack some, it, it is indelibly on attack any time soon.

:03:17. > :03:19.If that was the case, the threat would have been raised to a severe

:03:20. > :03:25.and means an attack is highly likely. It has been characterised as

:03:26. > :03:30.severe for just over six years. A well-placed to source told me this

:03:31. > :03:34.does not mean the balloon has suddenly gone up. There's clearly a

:03:35. > :03:38.concern about increased capability and capacity and intent of

:03:39. > :03:41.dissidents to attack outside of Northern Ireland and in Great

:03:42. > :03:45.Britain, that does not mean there is intelligence to suggest at this

:03:46. > :03:46.stage they are in a position to do so. Thank you.

:03:47. > :03:49.The brother of a murdered policeman says one of the IRA weapons used

:03:50. > :03:52.in the attack is now being used by police in Germany

:03:53. > :03:56.The gun in question, a Browing pistol, was the one used

:03:57. > :03:59.corporals at a funeral in West Belfast in 1988.

:04:00. > :04:04.BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports.

:04:05. > :04:12.Pictured in the hand of Corporal Wood, this is the gun later used by

:04:13. > :04:19.the IRA to kill him and his colleague. It has now emerged the

:04:20. > :04:22.same gun may have been used by the IRA in three or shootings in the

:04:23. > :04:28.next two years before ending in Germany. One of the attacks was at

:04:29. > :04:33.this ice cream shop in South Belfast. Two customers were wounded

:04:34. > :04:37.and an off-duty policeman, John Larmour, was shot dead. His brother

:04:38. > :04:45.George is now written a book about the attack and one of the weapons

:04:46. > :04:51.are used by the IRA. It was taken off Corporal Wood bad day and it was

:04:52. > :04:54.used to kill him and then kept by the IRA because it fell into their

:04:55. > :04:58.hands and a few months later in October it was used in the murder of

:04:59. > :05:03.my brother and the shooting of the two customers. Then it somehow made

:05:04. > :05:09.its way to Europe and was recovered in 1992 and it is still in Germany

:05:10. > :05:15.and today as we are speaking, being used to train police offices. So why

:05:16. > :05:18.did the gunner gets from Belfast to mainland Europe? The book said that

:05:19. > :05:22.after being used in the ice cream shop attack on the Lisburn Road in

:05:23. > :05:29.October 1988, it was then smuggled by the IRA into Holland then used

:05:30. > :05:33.where the IRA killed two Australian tourists they thought were off duty

:05:34. > :05:38.British soldiers. The weapon was later recovered across the border in

:05:39. > :05:45.Germany. But rather than send it back to the UK, the Germans kept it

:05:46. > :05:48.and used it for training purposes. Adrian Doherty -- George Larmour

:05:49. > :05:52.says that was a mistake and needs to be rectified. I think the German

:05:53. > :05:56.police authority or the German Government should apologise in some

:05:57. > :06:01.way for destroying evidence and that God should be requested by the Chief

:06:02. > :06:06.Constable to be brought back here and even if it is destroyed, that

:06:07. > :06:10.would be something. The book about his brother will be published later

:06:11. > :06:12.this month. The police say they will study it and then decide what action

:06:13. > :06:13.to take. The Prime Minister David Cameron has

:06:14. > :06:16.intervened in the controversy about the ITV drama The Secret,

:06:17. > :06:19.which is based on a book about a double-murder

:06:20. > :06:21.in North Antrim in 1991. Colin Howell and Hazel Stewart

:06:22. > :06:25.were convicted of murdering their first spouses,

:06:26. > :06:27.Trevor Buchanan and Lesley Howell. Relatives of the victims have been

:06:28. > :06:45.angered by the decision A TV dramatisation of the murders.

:06:46. > :06:50.The four part drama began a fortnight ago. At the time, Lauren

:06:51. > :06:53.Bradford, a daughter of Lesley Howell all recorded her family's

:06:54. > :06:56.distress. She wrote in the Guardian that in the midst of trying to come

:06:57. > :07:01.to terms with the Internet release of the drama, her family endured the

:07:02. > :07:05.PR and social media build up with sleepless nights and tearful days.

:07:06. > :07:09.She said that they were left trembling in the wake of it. Today,

:07:10. > :07:15.on the floor of the House of Commons, support for Lauren Bradford

:07:16. > :07:18.and a question. Does the Prime Minister not agree that victims of

:07:19. > :07:22.and their voices should have a far greater role in any accounting of

:07:23. > :07:25.their tragedy? And will he meet with me and my constituent to discuss

:07:26. > :07:28.what more could have been done in this situation and how we can

:07:29. > :07:33.strengthen the regulation in a future to protect victims? I was not

:07:34. > :07:38.aware of the case that the honourable lady rightly raises. -- I

:07:39. > :07:42.was aware. I remember when I worked in television, there are occasions

:07:43. > :07:45.when these decisions are made by can cause a huge amount of hurt and

:07:46. > :07:49.upset to families. I will discuss this case with the culture Secretary

:07:50. > :07:52.and bring it to his attention and see if there's anything else other

:07:53. > :07:55.than the conversation she has already had with ITV and off, who

:07:56. > :08:00.are a powerful regulator, whether there is anything more that can be

:08:01. > :08:03.done. ITV said it can adopt the a broadcast of this series

:08:04. > :08:08.responsibly. Seeking to minimise distress to family members by doing

:08:09. > :08:12.so. The Prime Minister's intervention in this case appears to

:08:13. > :08:14.have come too late. The two of the four programmes have already been

:08:15. > :08:18.screened. The focus will not return to his upcoming meeting of the

:08:19. > :08:20.culture secretary to see what can be done in similar cases in the future

:08:21. > :08:23.to give victims a stronger voice. One of the most difficult decisions

:08:24. > :08:26.facing the new Executive It's a divisive issue for both

:08:27. > :08:30.people and politicians. But the recent news stories

:08:31. > :08:34.including the abortion pill court case has sparked a fresh debate

:08:35. > :08:37.with more people willing In the first of two reports,

:08:38. > :08:41.we'll be hearing from to make very difficult choices

:08:42. > :08:45.during their pregnancies. First, after 15 years

:08:46. > :08:47.of keeping her abortion a secret, a surgeon working in

:08:48. > :08:50.Northern Ireland has She's been telling our

:08:51. > :08:54.Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly women should not be made

:08:55. > :09:11.to feel they're hiding some kind By day, a general surgeon. But you

:09:12. > :09:15.this menace that can also be found writing about health matters, after

:09:16. > :09:18.today, that will include a blog about having an abortion. Despite a

:09:19. > :09:21.very public role in the health service, she said the recent

:09:22. > :09:28.controversy surrounding abortion left with no choice but to speak

:09:29. > :09:32.out. No longer can I sit silently and be a bystander and watch this

:09:33. > :09:38.blatant discrimination and abuse of women. Because it is an abuse of

:09:39. > :09:45.women, it is an abuse to force a woman to have a child that she does

:09:46. > :09:48.not want, it is an abuse of her to abuse -- to force of the travel to

:09:49. > :09:51.England to have a health care service that should be provided

:09:52. > :09:55.here. The doctor discovered she was pregnant while studying for her

:09:56. > :10:01.final surgical exams in England. At 35 she said it was the worst nine

:10:02. > :10:04.country. You were very harsh on yourself and we can read that in the

:10:05. > :10:10.blog. Why? I beat myself up by judging myself and even more so,

:10:11. > :10:14.because I'm a doctor. Doctors are supposed to know better. We are not

:10:15. > :10:21.supposed to make mistakes. This became something that many women

:10:22. > :10:26.would have it as their dirty little secrets, that they can't feel they

:10:27. > :10:30.can tell people. And I did not tell people either. The recent bubbly

:10:31. > :10:34.today surrounding abortion finally made the doctor break her silence.

:10:35. > :10:37.In 15 years, only two others have known about the termination. She

:10:38. > :10:42.says Northern Ireland must change with the times. We do not have to be

:10:43. > :10:48.deemed mentally ill in order to make that decision. This is part of the

:10:49. > :10:54.patriarchal supremacy and the domination of women. We have tended

:10:55. > :10:58.to submit to that and to be submissive and to accept that. And

:10:59. > :11:03.it is only by others standing up and saying no, this is not acceptable,

:11:04. > :11:10.we know our own minds and bodies, we are capable of making that choice

:11:11. > :11:16.without needing those assessments or being deemed to be mentally unwell.

:11:17. > :11:20.By going public with something so private, she hopes to shed some

:11:21. > :11:24.light on the issue and even broaden the debate, expecting but the right

:11:25. > :11:28.to life and choice, she says the plight of the girl should not be

:11:29. > :11:32.forgotten. I don't believe any younger girl or woman grows up

:11:33. > :11:35.thinking, oh, when I grow up I'll have an abortion, I want to have an

:11:36. > :11:40.abortion. It is not something we desire or as by two or even a plan.

:11:41. > :11:45.I can't speak for anyone else other than myself. I don't feel it is an

:11:46. > :11:50.easy decision or timer and it was not for me. The doctor says these

:11:51. > :11:51.are her personal views and are not related to her role in the health

:11:52. > :11:52.service. And on tomorrow night's programme,

:11:53. > :11:55.we'll hear a different story from a woman who decided to carry

:11:56. > :11:57.on with her pregnancy after hearing the baby had severe

:11:58. > :11:59.health complications. She's calling for better services

:12:00. > :12:14.for couples who find Before she was born, I thought I had

:12:15. > :12:20.the weight of the world on my shoulders. But then when she was

:12:21. > :12:29.born and I saw her, it was just amazing. It's really, really helped

:12:30. > :12:33.me. And David, too. It's really helped him to, because at the start,

:12:34. > :12:39.when we found out, you was swaying towards having an abortion. And that

:12:40. > :12:40.was just a point-blank know with me. That is tomorrow night.

:12:41. > :12:43.The Balmoral Agricultural Show attracts tens of thousands of people

:12:44. > :12:46.It's probably one of the best places to gauge the views

:12:47. > :12:49.of the farming community on the forthcoming eu referendum.

:12:50. > :12:56.Donna Traynor has been at the show all day.

:12:57. > :13:03.Tough decisions have had to be made by the here at the Balmoral Show in

:13:04. > :13:06.the livestock competitions, but perhaps the biggest decision to be

:13:07. > :13:11.made by farmers in recent years is next month when they vote in the EU

:13:12. > :13:15.referendum. Will they vote to stay in the European Union or leave? I

:13:16. > :13:19.will be talking to the Ulster farmers union in a moment, but

:13:20. > :13:25.first, how agriculture correspondent talks to people on both sides of the

:13:26. > :13:29.debate. The good weather has given a boost to farmers and 14 to Balmoral,

:13:30. > :13:35.but these families have a big decision ahead and it is one they

:13:36. > :13:41.are divided on. Like this family, who form a dude and 70 acres of

:13:42. > :13:46.wheat, barley and oilseed. Tim is voting to Leave the European Union,

:13:47. > :13:52.and his mother who is his business partner and does the books is for

:13:53. > :13:56.staying in. My sons, my grandchildren potentially, they may

:13:57. > :14:01.not be a business there for them if we don't stop subsidies and if we do

:14:02. > :14:06.not become more responsive, because that is what is important, more

:14:07. > :14:11.responsive to the market that we produce what the market wants, what

:14:12. > :14:16.they consider once. Rather than basically farming for the sake of

:14:17. > :14:20.electing an annual subsidy cheque. As the old saying goes, better the

:14:21. > :14:28.devil you know than the devil you don't. And I know that the farmers

:14:29. > :14:34.have all the trouble with form filling and regulations and things

:14:35. > :14:40.like that, but I also know that they -- be single farm payment cheque is

:14:41. > :14:43.never set back -- centre back. Whether or not continue with EU

:14:44. > :14:46.membership is a difficult call for farmers, they said the trouble is

:14:47. > :14:49.the just and voices telling them totally different things and do a

:14:50. > :14:54.degree, they feel stuck the middle. It's hard to know which way to go at

:14:55. > :14:57.the minute. Knowing which way subsidies will go, coming back to

:14:58. > :15:03.whether we will be better off worse. The majority public will be guided

:15:04. > :15:07.by what they are in headlines, but how correct is that? My heart tells

:15:08. > :15:12.me we should go, but business sense tells me we should stay in, but

:15:13. > :15:19.other than that...? Conservative MP Alan Patterson hopes to persuade

:15:20. > :15:24.people to stay in. We are the fifth largest economy in the world, there

:15:25. > :15:28.are only two countries that do not have trade agreements with the EU,

:15:29. > :15:33.that is Somalia and North Korea. As you really think we are logging to

:15:34. > :15:37.come to an agreement? It will be a colourful fortnight, expect Brexit

:15:38. > :15:40.to remain on the agenda as farmers try to work out whether they should

:15:41. > :15:46.stick with Brussels or leave and find another way. Before the winner

:15:47. > :15:50.of the EU referendum is announced in a few weeks, farmers are seeking

:15:51. > :15:55.guidance from the Ulster farmers union and earlier I spoke to the

:15:56. > :15:59.current presidents. In the absence of any compelling arguments to

:16:00. > :16:04.Leave, we would have to stay -- say at the minute to Remain, but what we

:16:05. > :16:07.do want to know is how would it really look outside the EU? And I

:16:08. > :16:15.suppose we are throwing down the challenge to the Out campaign. Bring

:16:16. > :16:18.the facts forward, let us hear them. We want to inform our members both

:16:19. > :16:24.ways and will be telling them which way to vote, but we do want to know

:16:25. > :16:29.exactly what their vision of farming would look like outside Europe. No

:16:30. > :16:37.country has ever left the EU and we just want to try and capture what is

:16:38. > :16:40.a political and economic reality. We've heard over the past year the

:16:41. > :16:43.difficulties that local farmers have faced, so how would you sum up the

:16:44. > :16:49.state of agriculture in Northern Ireland at the moment? Today is a

:16:50. > :16:53.great day to come to Balmoral. Maybe show your troubles, maybe share and

:16:54. > :16:57.forget them for a day but when you drill bit deeper, there is a lot of

:16:58. > :17:03.concern at in some form of businesses that maybe they will not

:17:04. > :17:07.be here this time next year. It is concerning and we need some sort of

:17:08. > :17:13.glimmer of hope that across all sectors, is not just one sector,

:17:14. > :17:17.this is cross sector. It is a crisis that has lasted much longer than we

:17:18. > :17:21.ever thought. Commissioner Hogan was here the other day and he was

:17:22. > :17:24.suggesting there might be a glimmer of hope towards the end of the year

:17:25. > :17:30.as far as opening up the Chinese market again, a lot of issues

:17:31. > :17:39.involved and certainly they need something to offer them a. Well, not

:17:40. > :17:43.only of the machine is big at the Balmoral Show, so as well is food as

:17:44. > :17:48.we celebrate Northern Ireland's Year of Food and Drink. My colleague will

:17:49. > :17:53.be here tomorrow to tell you more about that and Connor will be back

:17:54. > :17:58.with more on what is on offer. Later on BBC Newsline this evening, we

:17:59. > :17:59.will have the weather forecast. That is coming up shortly.

:18:00. > :18:02.This week, we're bringing you exclusive coverage of a young

:18:03. > :18:06.Strabane footballer once tipped for stardom with Manchester United.

:18:07. > :18:08.But Adrian Doherty's potential was never realised as he suffered

:18:09. > :18:11.He later tragically died in an accident in the Hague

:18:12. > :18:15.This evening, we're looking at the links with Manchester United

:18:16. > :18:18.on this side of the Irish channel through the eyes of fans

:18:19. > :18:21.And we also focus on Adrian Doherty's time at Old Trafford

:18:22. > :18:25.where he was seemingly on the edge of a glittering career.

:18:26. > :18:31.Old Trafford, the Theatre of dreams for the red Army who follow United.

:18:32. > :18:40.Match days, you always hear familiar accents. Just United, my club. The

:18:41. > :18:47.best team. Lovely to watch. Not doing too well of issue, but we'll

:18:48. > :18:55.get there. For former Manchester United greats, this is the place to

:18:56. > :19:02.play football. Every Friday, home or away and at a home game in the

:19:03. > :19:06.dressing room, Sir Matt Busby was a bad speaker. Two fingers on the

:19:07. > :19:10.treatment table, labs, if you are not good enough, you would not be

:19:11. > :19:13.here. When Adrian Doherty sign professionally for Manchester United

:19:14. > :19:16.in the summer of 1989, use of the common problem affecting many young

:19:17. > :19:23.footballers, you was homesick. I admitted many times that I would cry

:19:24. > :19:25.myself to sleep many times. We didn't have two-minute

:19:26. > :19:29.communications like we have now or the social media, there was no

:19:30. > :19:42.mobile phones and was no fun in our house at that time! -- no further in

:19:43. > :19:45.our house. As it Adrian Doherty return to strip Historical Enquiries

:19:46. > :19:53.Team briefly before deciding to go back to Manchester. There, he began

:19:54. > :19:59.to make progress. This two levels of player. This guy is a dead cert, no

:20:00. > :20:06.problem at all, he will make it. The likes of Norman Whiteside or Ryan

:20:07. > :20:10.Giggs, I think Adrian was kind of honour that cusp and we watched him

:20:11. > :20:19.as a youth player and everyone would say if he doesn't make it, then

:20:20. > :20:23.nobody can. This man shared the same United youth team dressing room. He

:20:24. > :20:28.was quiet and shy, sat in the corner. Not much to say, but would

:20:29. > :20:33.sneakily have a laugh in the corner at things going on around him and

:20:34. > :20:38.then he would obviously show his stuff on the pitch. He was quick,

:20:39. > :20:44.brave, dynamic, very similar to Ryan Giggs who we had playing on the

:20:45. > :20:52.left-hand side. In 1990, aged just 16, Adrian Doherty's ability was

:20:53. > :20:55.urging him to a team debut. And he had won a memorable conversation on

:20:56. > :21:00.the first team boss with the legend at the club. Bobby Charlton sat

:21:01. > :21:07.beside him in the coach and said look, Adrian, we thought we would

:21:08. > :21:11.never see another George Best, but I think you could be him. But Adrian

:21:12. > :21:16.Doherty never made the first team after he suffered a bad knee injury.

:21:17. > :21:18.Ultimately, fate took a tragic and fatal twist in his young life which

:21:19. > :21:22.we will hear tomorrow night. When it comes to motorbikes,

:21:23. > :21:25.our focus is usually on the roads, but this evening on the North

:21:26. > :21:27.Coast, Stephen Watson With high speeds comes high risk,

:21:28. > :21:39.and the need for a local airborne Ambulance Service

:21:40. > :21:42.at a major event like this has been a major discussion point

:21:43. > :21:54.for some time now. For the first time one is in

:21:55. > :21:57.operation here this week. It is a similar helicopter that is expected

:21:58. > :22:00.to go into full-time service later this year after the Chancellor

:22:01. > :22:05.committed millions of pounds of funding earlier this year.

:22:06. > :22:11.Rapid response at an event like this is critical and the air ambulance

:22:12. > :22:16.with its crew are paramedics will help save lives. We were successful

:22:17. > :22:22.at getting a grant from the Chancellor for some 4.5 million of

:22:23. > :22:27.which 3.5 million is upfront funding which will keep us going for a few

:22:28. > :22:32.months. It was a challenge for us, we have a helicopter company

:22:33. > :22:37.earmarked for it and through the generosity of several individuals,

:22:38. > :22:41.we have managed to finance it. It isn't cheap to bring the air

:22:42. > :22:46.ambulance here. It is expect ambulance will be based in

:22:47. > :22:51.Enniskillen, where the helicopter made a flying visit today. It has

:22:52. > :22:55.ever the approval of two of Northern Ireland's best ever riders who have

:22:56. > :22:59.raced all over the world. I didn't think it could happen as quickly,

:23:00. > :23:02.but it shows how strong the motorcycle racing community is once

:23:03. > :23:06.we grouped together. We can make some day like this happen quickly.

:23:07. > :23:12.It's lovely they've got it across the line. The trustees of the

:23:13. > :23:15.charity have worked so very, very hard from 2013, and now it has come

:23:16. > :23:20.to fruition. It is here for the future. Everyone associated with the

:23:21. > :23:24.North West 200 is hoping that over the coming day's racing, this

:23:25. > :23:31.ambulance remains firmly on the ground. Joining me is the Northwest

:23:32. > :23:37.events director, Mervyn Whyte. How much so does it give you knowing

:23:38. > :23:40.there's an air ambulance this week? Is great news altogether. Something

:23:41. > :23:44.we been wanting for a number of years. We've had a number of fairly

:23:45. > :23:49.serious incidents in the last few years and have that ambulance is

:23:50. > :23:53.absolutely brilliant. We really appreciate the work done

:23:54. > :23:56.behind-the-scenes to make it happen. And a legacy to the motorcycle

:23:57. > :24:01.doctor who tragically lost his life last year. He was a big advocate of

:24:02. > :24:05.the air ambulance of course. Yes, Doctor John, we have talked about it

:24:06. > :24:10.for a number of years and it is good to see it come to fruition. Rate

:24:11. > :24:14.news for that and more to buy rating and for the whole country itself, it

:24:15. > :24:17.can be used in the future. I'm sure you delighted the sun is shining

:24:18. > :24:21.this week after some pretty awful weather in the last few years. What

:24:22. > :24:26.can we expect tomorrow, it is a bit of a practice and racing? Yes, the

:24:27. > :24:30.biggest day tomorrow, the roads close at 9:15am until 3pm for

:24:31. > :24:36.practice sessions for four different classes. They reopen at 3pm and

:24:37. > :24:39.close again 5pm for three races tomorrow night so we ask everyone to

:24:40. > :24:42.get in position as early as possible tomorrow morning and if you're

:24:43. > :24:45.planning to come for the evening racing, then get in position as

:24:46. > :24:49.early as possible, don't leave it to the last minute, because the area

:24:50. > :24:55.will be chock-a-block. Work with us on those things and it will be made

:24:56. > :25:01.as easy as possible. Thank you very much, Mervyn. In football,

:25:02. > :25:08.Cliftonville it Glentoran last night by three goals to two. The game was

:25:09. > :25:16.marred by a mass brawl. The clash at the final whistle sounded a

:25:17. > :25:22.half-time free., was eventually restored and the Cliftonville

:25:23. > :25:26.goalkeeper was shown a red card. On the night, the late goal was the

:25:27. > :25:31.difference, guaranteeing Cliftonville about European football

:25:32. > :25:38.next year and a 106 ?2000 windfall. Well done to them. All of tomorrow's

:25:39. > :25:41.practice and racing you can see live on the BBC sport website. That is of

:25:42. > :25:55.the sun continues to shine. Here at the Balmoral Show is the

:25:56. > :25:58.North West 200 and we have a fantastic weather. 19 degrees in

:25:59. > :26:03.some places and we are likely to see that again tomorrow. As for the rest

:26:04. > :26:07.of this evening, it is fine with plenty of blue skies before

:26:08. > :26:10.nightfall. It will largely stayed dry overnight apart from the odd

:26:11. > :26:16.isolated shower coming in from the Irish Sea in the early hours. Not

:26:17. > :26:19.cold, temperatures at 10-11d generally. Tomorrow, we are

:26:20. > :26:24.expecting a largely dry day once we get rid of any early showers. Plenty

:26:25. > :26:28.of sunshine and it will be hot once more with temperatures reaching the

:26:29. > :26:33.low 20s. Tomorrow morning, there may be one or two isolated showers. They

:26:34. > :26:38.won't last, very well spaced, so lots for everyone and by afternoon,

:26:39. > :26:46.plenty of dry and sunny weather. One of the coast, cool, because of the

:26:47. > :26:51.onshore wind, 16-17d, but in 21, maybe 22 degrees in a few places. As

:26:52. > :27:01.for the rest of the day, we are likely to hold onto good amounts of

:27:02. > :27:03.sunshine, cloud from time to time, but still a fine evening if you

:27:04. > :27:06.fancy getting your job barbecue. Into tomorrow night, it's wilted

:27:07. > :27:10.chilly van lately. Temperatures may fall to 7- a degrees. On the cool

:27:11. > :27:16.side, but that is normal for this time of year. For Friday, a bit of

:27:17. > :27:20.wet weather. Especially in a western counties and maybe in Derry. Drier

:27:21. > :27:25.further eased and cooler towards the Easter with temperatures of 12-13d,

:27:26. > :27:30.mild to the west under the cloud and wet weather. As for the weekend,

:27:31. > :27:34.plenty of dry weather, so not bad for the North West 200, but the

:27:35. > :27:36.temperatures will make it feel much cooler than the last few days.
