:00:15. > :00:18.could veto the outcome of the EU referendum.

:00:37. > :00:38.Here's our political correspondent, Gareth Gordon.
:00:39. > :00:43.As soon as Brits it was confirmed earlier on Friday, Sinn Fein called
:00:44. > :00:48.for a board up all, but today they said that was not their main
:00:49. > :00:53.priority. From my perspective, in the immediate future, although you
:00:54. > :00:58.up focused on the border poll, and we think they should be one in the
:00:59. > :01:05.future, the immediate task has to be how the democratically expressed
:01:06. > :01:08.wishes of the people here can be catered for in the context of the
:01:09. > :01:17.huge debate which is going to ensure in the next couple of months. But
:01:18. > :01:24.could be result be the -- be vetoed in the places that voted to remain,
:01:25. > :01:27.Northern Ireland and Scotland? We will be working with both the
:01:28. > :01:30.Scottish government and the Northern Ireland's Executive on all of these
:01:31. > :01:35.matters. Ultimately, it is Parliament was Micro decision
:01:36. > :01:43.whether the repeal the 1972 act or not. There are different questions
:01:44. > :01:47.from the different parties. I don't think the expected to win. Now they
:01:48. > :01:52.are in a situation where they don't have to deliver this. We believe
:01:53. > :01:54.that the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Scottish Parliament have the
:01:55. > :01:58.opportunity to say no. Parliamentarians who would
:01:59. > :02:01.disrespect the views of the clear instructions given to them by the
:02:02. > :02:06.British people will be making a huge mistake. There is no dispute that
:02:07. > :02:11.those of us who are on the Remain side on the referendum in Northern
:02:12. > :02:15.Ireland, but it was a UK referendum. The UK, still has primacy in these
:02:16. > :02:20.matters. The main Unionist leaders who are backed remaining in the UK
:02:21. > :02:24.said we were in an age of uncertainty. In recent years,
:02:25. > :02:32.nationalists have been relaxed about their aspiration for united Ireland
:02:33. > :02:35.have -- and a seen it some thing they want to make every two. They
:02:36. > :02:39.are very angry and we need to listen to those voices. What is clear that
:02:40. > :02:43.not much is clear, and that is unlikely to change any time soon.
:02:44. > :02:46.And on tomorrow's BBC Newsline, in the wake of the referendum,
:02:47. > :02:49.we'll be looking at the implications for people from Northern Ireland
:02:50. > :02:54.The Shadow Northern Ireland Secretary, Vernon Coaker,
:02:55. > :03:00.of Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow cabinet to resign today.
:03:01. > :03:02.It follows Mr Corbyn's decision to sack Hilary Benn.
:03:03. > :03:06.Mr Coaker held the post twice - firstly between 2011 and 2013
:03:07. > :03:12.and was again appointed to the role by Jeremy Corbyn last September.
:03:13. > :03:19.The Republic of Ireland are out of the European Championships -
:03:20. > :03:22.Robbie Brady's penalty in the second minute
:03:23. > :03:24.wasn't enough to hold off the tournament favourites.
:03:25. > :03:35.The European adventure ended for Martin O'Neill's side here in Lyon,
:03:36. > :03:38.despite a rate performance against the French. The quick turnaround
:03:39. > :03:42.following the famous victory over Italy proved to be crucial, as the
:03:43. > :03:47.hosts came from a goal down to make it through to the quarterfinals. It
:03:48. > :03:51.was a dream start for the Republic of Ireland, when Shane Long was
:03:52. > :03:57.fouled in the penalty area, and Robbie Brady made no mistake from
:03:58. > :04:01.the resulting spot kick. The boy chances to extend the lead, but as
:04:02. > :04:12.the game progressed, the French piled on the pressure. The Atletico
:04:13. > :04:18.Madrid staff gave the home side the advantage. Shane Duffy was dismissed
:04:19. > :04:21.soon after as the men pushed for an equaliser, but they were unable to
:04:22. > :04:29.find a second goal. Had we gone another six or seven or
:04:30. > :04:34.eight minutes without conceding a goal, we could have utilised that at
:04:35. > :04:38.the end of the game. I could not be more proud of the team. A fantastic
:04:39. > :04:42.effort. And throughout the ornament. I could not be more proud of the
:04:43. > :04:48.supporters. Disappointed at the minute. A great opportunity today,
:04:49. > :04:55.and we just let it out of our grasp. Disappointed, but very proud man to
:04:56. > :05:01.be able to come here and put on some great performances. What is being
:05:02. > :05:10.said in the dressing room? They are proud of us, and we gave one held of
:05:11. > :05:21.an -- one hell of an effort. At the end of the day, it was not to be
:05:22. > :05:29.today. I'm feeling it now. How much pride really not get the date, not
:05:30. > :05:32.now, but in the weeks to come? Probably, in a couple of weeks, when
:05:33. > :05:41.you look back, you'll realise what an achievement it was. Right now,
:05:42. > :05:45.it's tough. But, as you said, in the weeks to come we will look back and
:05:46. > :05:51.we can be extremely proud of ourselves and what we achieved. The
:05:52. > :05:53.squad will fly home from the team base tomorrow afternoon, following
:05:54. > :05:57.the Republic of Ireland's most successful ever European
:05:58. > :05:59.Championships. With plenty of positives, looking ahead to the
:06:00. > :06:02.World Cup qualifying campaign. Well, our reporter, Ita Dungan,
:06:03. > :06:04.was with the fans in Lyon, where hopes were high
:06:05. > :06:15.going into the match. The last French city on Ireland's
:06:16. > :06:20.Gerrit Woody 16 adventure. It has been a long, tough road, and today,
:06:21. > :06:26.for more than 50 minutes, many Irish fans thought that journey would just
:06:27. > :06:34.keep on going. The party was on, and the queues
:06:35. > :06:41.were very, very long. Inside, there was a definite air of optimism that
:06:42. > :06:47.an Irishman was on the cards. It's definite, 1-0. 1-0, and Robbie Keane
:06:48. > :06:51.off the bench to score. It will be a special day for the Irish. Just 1.5
:06:52. > :07:02.minutes in, it looked like it might be. The penalty, the perfect start.
:07:03. > :07:08.CHEERING Silenced in the second-half, the
:07:09. > :07:13.French now had all the to celebrate. Two French goals, the Irish odyssey
:07:14. > :07:18.was over. Disappointed, yes, but not utterly dejected. The hospitality
:07:19. > :07:27.has been brilliant. They are fantastic fans. Winner! Brilliant,
:07:28. > :07:33.fantastic. Disappointed, but that's how it goes. The French really
:07:34. > :07:37.deserved it. They put up a decent enough fight in the first half. The
:07:38. > :07:39.first off was good, but France could about four or five in the second
:07:40. > :07:50.half. Nothing else they could have done. Time to go home? Yes, it is.
:07:51. > :07:58.Flew in yesterday, to join the main man, and we did our bit. We tried
:07:59. > :08:03.the best. We got this far, and we've had a great time. What do you think
:08:04. > :08:08.of Ireland? CHEERING
:08:09. > :08:17.We are proud of France, and very proud of Ireland because they have
:08:18. > :08:26.had fun. Everyone saw videos of Irish people online. They are
:08:27. > :08:30.welcome. We love you, Irish people. Thank you, Ireland, thank you. But
:08:31. > :08:35.it is time to go home now. The memories of Paris, Bordeaux, Lille
:08:36. > :08:37.and Lyon will live on for a long time to come.
:08:38. > :08:40.Fans here turned out in force to support Martin O'Neill's team
:08:41. > :08:42.and, despite the defeat, have big expectations for the future.
:08:43. > :08:57.A damp day at the fan zone. But these fans did not seem to notice
:08:58. > :09:02.the weather when that early penalty hit the back of the net. Others took
:09:03. > :09:10.refuge in the warm surroundings of pubs and clubs. They will to the
:09:11. > :09:17.team to victory. -- they were welling the team to victory. But it
:09:18. > :09:24.was not their day. They did well. They done us proud. Everyone was
:09:25. > :09:29.going to France at the weekend, they have saved their money! Ireland are
:09:30. > :09:33.still the best. We have got a great tournament from them, that is the
:09:34. > :09:38.furthest they have got. Next time, they will go farther. It is
:09:39. > :09:44.heartbreaking, it really is. We have done well. Proud of them
:09:45. > :09:48.nonetheless. Slightly deflated, but they were amazing. Really enjoyed
:09:49. > :09:53.the whole thing. There is nothing like the Irish fans come they are
:09:54. > :09:59.wonderful. Heartbroken, but the fans have done themselves a lot of
:10:00. > :10:07.credit. It's the furthest we have been ever. Heartbroken, but proud.
:10:08. > :10:13.In the end, a standing ovation for the boys in Green. And all eyes now
:10:14. > :10:17.on Russia 2018. Northern Ireland's footballers
:10:18. > :10:19.will fly home from France tomorrow for an evening civic reception
:10:20. > :10:21.at the fanzone Last night, they were
:10:22. > :10:37.knocked out of Euro 2016 The end of an amazing journey, long
:10:38. > :10:42.after the game that Northern Ireland players were still on the pitch in
:10:43. > :10:47.Paris, banking app fans. It had been a heartbreaking way to exit the
:10:48. > :10:51.tournament, with the cruel own goal. One of your team-mates said to you?
:10:52. > :11:00.-- what have your team-mates said EU? All sorts. It is difficult. I
:11:01. > :11:11.don't need this ever be. I don't want it either. -- the sympathy. I
:11:12. > :11:15.want people to abrasive element for what it was, enjoy it and get home
:11:16. > :11:21.safely. Hopefully one day we'll be back. It remains to be seen whether
:11:22. > :11:26.or not Macauley has made his final Northern Ireland appearance, but one
:11:27. > :11:34.another better things is staying on. -- one other veteran thinks he is
:11:35. > :11:40.staying on. I have a lot to sort out first. I have got to get back and
:11:41. > :11:45.get sorted out. As for the manager, he has boasted a build on for the
:11:46. > :11:53.future. We have shown we can compete on the stage, we're a small group of
:11:54. > :12:00.players. We have shown that we more than held our own, we are a better
:12:01. > :12:05.team. We need to take that forward and go for convocation for Russia.
:12:06. > :12:09.That'll start in September. For now, Northern Ireland have a big
:12:10. > :12:12.homecoming celebration to look forward to.
:12:13. > :12:14.Well, many Northern Ireland fans are on their way home
:12:15. > :12:16.after their team was knocked out of the tournament
:12:17. > :12:19.Mark Simpson has been on their journey in France,
:12:20. > :12:28.and watched the match with them in the fanzone in Paris.
:12:29. > :12:35.Hopes were high before the game. 7000 fans spent hundreds of pounds
:12:36. > :12:42.and travels hundreds of miles just to be here. We will see very soon
:12:43. > :12:51.whether it has been worth it. CHEERING
:12:52. > :12:57.Come on! After the match, it was the Welsh fans who were making the most
:12:58. > :13:02.noise. We are in better team, absolutely distraught. They had
:13:03. > :13:10.nothing. Even Gareth Bale was woeful. The fans were woeful, they
:13:11. > :13:14.only had two songs. In the end, it was not enough. But we'll be back
:13:15. > :13:24.even stronger. We other Green and white army. We have really
:13:25. > :13:28.disappointed. It has been fantastic, I have been at all of the matches.
:13:29. > :13:32.The fans have been wonderful, the French people have been appreciative
:13:33. > :13:42.and welcoming. They lived the dream. Just being here, but Micro hectic
:13:43. > :13:46.and expensive! The passion and the camaraderie. Everyone together, no
:13:47. > :13:52.hassle, if you beers. It has been brilliant. If there that fans in
:13:53. > :13:56.this I would like to see them. They are still singing, the game is over
:13:57. > :14:00.but we are still singing. SINGING. For many fans, it is the
:14:01. > :14:19.end of a very long journey. It has been fantastic. Most Northern
:14:20. > :14:20.Ireland fans have now gone home. Here in France, they won't be
:14:21. > :14:25.forgotten. Now at look at the weather
:14:26. > :14:38.for the week ahead. Good evening. We are at the start of
:14:39. > :14:43.what will be an unsettled week of weather. Rain and showers coming
:14:44. > :14:49.along on most days. With the exposure to the breeze, it will feel
:14:50. > :14:51.quite fresh. It has been a dull and stabbed day-to-day. The breeze picks
:14:52. > :14:54.up to night, and the cloud that the break-up as well. We will end up
:14:55. > :15:03.with clear spells, just the few light showers. Many places turning
:15:04. > :15:06.dry overnight, with lows of around ten or 11 degrees. Bright and
:15:07. > :15:10.breezy, and some showers to content with as well. Not too many of those
:15:11. > :15:13.showers during the morning. That is when we could see some decent stars
:15:14. > :15:17.of sunshine before the show was get going. More in the afternoon. Across
:15:18. > :15:22.much of the country, it is a brighter day tomorrow. Once the rain
:15:23. > :15:26.we have had close to the south-east, a lot of dry and bright weather
:15:27. > :15:29.across England and Wales. Warm sunshine when it comes through as
:15:30. > :15:34.well. Plenty of showers coming in across Scotland. Some of those
:15:35. > :15:38.heavy. Showers across Ireland, especially the northern half. One or
:15:39. > :15:42.two short ones running through the afternoon before the ease wait was
:15:43. > :15:45.the evening again. A breezy day, with the sun coming out later on. If
:15:46. > :15:49.you're exposed to the breeze on the north coast in particular, it could
:15:50. > :15:54.feel fresh. In the sunshine, with some shelter, 60 or 17, not too bad.
:15:55. > :15:58.Through the rest of the week, with high pressure to the south, we have
:15:59. > :16:04.got the westerly continuing to bring weather fronts, one after the other.
:16:05. > :16:08.Areas of low pressure. On Jews day, the first of those comes along which
:16:09. > :16:11.will bring spells of rain. Particular for central and southern
:16:12. > :16:15.areas. This is where you see the heaviest bursts of rain, not
:16:16. > :16:19.reaching the south-east until later in the day. Temperatures starting to
:16:20. > :16:24.creep down a bit as well. That quiz out of the way, then the have yet
:16:25. > :16:26.another one to come in on Wednesday. This one could bring some fairly
:16:27. > :16:30.strong winds across southern parts, maybe Gail stores sell. Again,
:16:31. > :16:34.central and southern areas catchily heaviest worst of rain by the look
:16:35. > :16:37.of things. By Thursday, a picture of Bryce Belsen showers.
