:00:16. > :00:21.The killing of an IRA man by the RUC in Downpatrick

:00:22. > :00:23.is to be re-examined after a new eyewitness

:00:24. > :00:30.The abuse inquiry hears a former MI6 director deny

:00:31. > :00:32.the agency had any knowledge of a paedophile ring

:00:33. > :00:37.The police investigate how a woman suffered life-threatening head

:00:38. > :00:45.A Belfast court hears a man who brutally killed two others

:00:46. > :00:49.with a Samurai sword could not explain why he had attacked them.

:00:50. > :00:55.I'm at the Ulster Tower in northern France ahead of tomorrow's centenary

:00:56. > :00:59.commemorations for the Battle of the Somme.

:01:00. > :01:01.A former world champion at underage level.

:01:02. > :01:04.This summer, Belfast athlete Patrick Huston will take his place

:01:05. > :01:11.Shame there's no summer weather to go with it.

:01:12. > :01:20.A cool breeze and heavy showers on the cards.

:01:21. > :01:23.A new investigation is to be launched into the controversial

:01:24. > :01:29.killing of an IRA member by the RUC in Downpatrick 25 years ago.

:01:30. > :01:31.An eyewitness has come forward and supported claims by the family

:01:32. > :01:34.of Colum Marks that he was shot after being arrested.

:01:35. > :01:43.Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

:01:44. > :01:54.RUC officers were in weight when an irony were ordered to carry out an

:01:55. > :01:58.attack in April 19 91. One of the IRA members Colum Marks was shot

:01:59. > :02:02.dead. The police officer who fired the shot said he believed Colum

:02:03. > :02:07.Marks was armed and had refused to stop when an attempt was made to

:02:08. > :02:12.arrest him. No gun was ever found. His family claimed Colum Marks was

:02:13. > :02:16.shot after being arrested. The RUC insisted that was not the case.

:02:17. > :02:20.Lawyers for the family have been taking legal action in a bid to

:02:21. > :02:25.force the police to investigate the circumstances of the killing. They

:02:26. > :02:28.have said they couldn't do so because the RUC had already

:02:29. > :02:32.investigated the shooting. That all changed when an eye witness came

:02:33. > :02:36.forward two months ago. The eyewitness has said that during the

:02:37. > :02:40.shooting, he saw a man believed to be Colum Marks walking along the

:02:41. > :02:44.street under police guard. He said it was clear the man was under

:02:45. > :02:48.arrest and three RUC officers were with him. That contradicts police

:02:49. > :02:52.claims that Colum Marks be to arrest and was shot because it was feared

:02:53. > :02:57.he posed a threat. Lawyers for the Marx family haven't disclosed any

:02:58. > :03:03.information to the police. There legal action was finished today now

:03:04. > :03:08.that it's been decided that any investigation will be launched. The

:03:09. > :03:12.decision was welcomed by a lawyer well -- representing the family.

:03:13. > :03:19.This information disputes the previous statements are the RUC. It

:03:20. > :03:23.was a shoot to kill operation. And assessment of the case will may be

:03:24. > :03:27.carried out to establish when the investigation can begin. Two months

:03:28. > :03:31.ago, the Attorney General asked the prosecution service to review the

:03:32. > :03:34.decision not to prosecute any police officers involved in the incident.

:03:35. > :03:36.The inquiry into historic abuse at institutions has been shown

:03:37. > :03:40.an MI6 Intelligence document which claimed at least one agent

:03:41. > :03:45.was aware of sexual abuse at Kincora Boys Home.

:03:46. > :03:47.It's long been at the centre of allegations that a paedophile

:03:48. > :03:50.ring involving high-profile political and military figures

:03:51. > :03:57.Lisa McAlister was in Banbridge for us.

:03:58. > :04:01.The document emerged during evidence given via video link

:04:02. > :04:04.by Deputy Director of MI6 which operated here in

:04:05. > :04:25.Known as SIS officer A, he was asked about the 1989 note which stated:

:04:26. > :04:32.SIS officer A also said the service found no credible evidence

:04:33. > :04:35.to support the claims former M16 chief Sir Maurice Oldfield

:04:36. > :04:51.It was asked whether the author of the note had some personal knowledge

:04:52. > :04:56.but he hadn't recorded or F, for some reason, had the wrong end of

:04:57. > :05:02.the stick. Officer 38 replied he couldn't speculate as to what the

:05:03. > :05:09.author was thinking when he it. -- wrote it.

:05:10. > :05:14.operations in Northern Ireland had his clearance revoked in 1980

:05:15. > :05:20.At the time, the security services would not give clearance to gay men,

:05:21. > :05:23.amid fears that foreign spies would blackmail them.

:05:24. > :05:26.None of the former Kincora residents who have given evidence to the HIA

:05:27. > :05:30.have claimed Sir Maurice abused them though one claimed

:05:31. > :05:42.A woman is in a critical condition in hospital after being found

:05:43. > :05:44.The police are still investigating what happened

:05:45. > :05:51.Our reporter Dan Stanton has the details.

:05:52. > :05:57.Forensic teams searched the road and bushes if you hundreds yards from

:05:58. > :06:02.the house for the women in her 50s was found earlier this morning.

:06:03. > :06:07.Neighbours have told me an ambulance arrived the property just after 3am.

:06:08. > :06:10.It was followed soon afterwards by a number of police cars. Locals, who

:06:11. > :06:14.didn't want to appear on camera, said they were shocked something so

:06:15. > :06:19.serious should happen at this new development close to the town. A

:06:20. > :06:23.serious incident has occurred here and it's a shame about the fact that

:06:24. > :06:28.the road has been closed after a considerable time. Incidents like

:06:29. > :06:33.this do cause fear and distress in the team unity but our thoughts and

:06:34. > :06:37.prayers are with the lady who has been entered. We would hope that

:06:38. > :06:41.incidents like this would be few and far between. It is essentially a

:06:42. > :06:45.very, very peaceful committee but people get on very well together and

:06:46. > :06:50.we would hope that that would continue. Police were alerted to the

:06:51. > :06:54.area after a member of the public noticed a very intoxicated manual to

:06:55. > :06:58.the roundabout. The women was taking to the Daisy hill hospital that has

:06:59. > :07:01.now been transferred to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast.

:07:02. > :07:04.A court has heard how a double murderer admitted to his girlfriend

:07:05. > :07:07.that he had used a Samurai sword to kill two men he had

:07:08. > :07:15.47-year-old Colin Lindsay had been almost decapitated.

:07:16. > :07:19.Police found the two casualties in the living room of this

:07:20. > :07:22.Appearing for sentencing today was 47-year-old

:07:23. > :07:30.Armstrong initially denied carrying out the frenzied attack,

:07:31. > :07:33.claiming he had arrived at the house to discover

:07:34. > :07:43.Later, he admitted killing both Colin Lindsay and Stanley Wightman.

:07:44. > :07:46.All three men lived close to each other in the Belvoir Estate in south

:07:47. > :07:48.Belfast and were well known to each other.

:07:49. > :07:50.Mr Lindsay apparently telephoned Armstrong asking him to come

:07:51. > :07:58.All three men then spent most of the day drinking together.

:07:59. > :08:11.The attack happened later that evening.

:08:12. > :08:18.He returned home and his girlfriend noticed he would covered in blood on

:08:19. > :08:20.his face and hands. She noted there was a samurai sword in the passenger

:08:21. > :08:22.well of the car he was driving. to the victims' hands and arms point

:08:23. > :08:26.to the murdered men trying vainly Autopsy results record multiple

:08:27. > :08:29.sword blows to the neck Two incisions to Mr Lindsay's spinal

:08:30. > :08:34.cord would have Police arrived at the murder

:08:35. > :08:42.scene shortly after 8pm. They found two casualties

:08:43. > :08:45.in the living room. Colin Lindsay was

:08:46. > :08:47.slumped on the sofa. Mr Wightman was found

:08:48. > :08:56.lying in a doorway. He too had sustained multiple

:08:57. > :08:59.injuries to his head and neck. He died of his injuries

:09:00. > :09:11.though two days later. Bereaved family members and friends

:09:12. > :09:12.of the two murdered men were in the public gallery for today's hearing.

:09:13. > :09:23.He will learn next month the minimum tariff he will have to serve.

:09:24. > :09:33.Still to come. With the number of swifts declining, we find out how

:09:34. > :09:37.GPS technology is being used to track the noisy summer visitors.

:09:38. > :09:39.Preparations are being made for the centenary commemoration

:09:40. > :09:43.events in the UK and in France marking the start of the Battle

:09:44. > :09:50.Tonight, in County Down, there is an overnight

:09:51. > :09:52.vigil at the Somme Museum near Newtownards.

:09:53. > :09:54.Then, tomorrow, most of the attention will shift

:09:55. > :09:57.to the battlefields at Theipval in France.

:09:58. > :10:00.After the main joint British and French ceremony in the morning,

:10:01. > :10:04.a Northern Ireland event has been organised by the Somme Association.

:10:05. > :10:16.Tara Mills is there in France for BBC Newsline.

:10:17. > :10:18.This is the memorial to the thousands of men

:10:19. > :10:23.from the 36th Ulster Division who died at the Somme.

:10:24. > :10:25.The men fought and died alongside friends and neighbours

:10:26. > :10:32.Thousands perished in the most horrific circumstances.

:10:33. > :10:37.Tomorrow is about remembering the sacrifice they made.

:10:38. > :10:54.The Royal Irish regiment's and had to learn a new anthem in preparation

:10:55. > :10:59.for tomorrow Saum centenary service in France. The ground at the Ulster

:11:00. > :11:03.Tower in the Thiepval have been transformed this special

:11:04. > :11:06.commemorative event. The service needs to be dignified and showed

:11:07. > :11:11.respect to the soldiers that lost their lives here on the 1st of July.

:11:12. > :11:16.We have to put a lot of effort into it to make sure it's dignified and

:11:17. > :11:19.done respectfully. Several thousand people will join a range of

:11:20. > :11:22.dignitaries for what will be a solemn remembrance of the lives lost

:11:23. > :11:33.in one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. To Derry, to

:11:34. > :11:36.foil, to Belfast the arts are also involved in marking the special

:11:37. > :11:42.centenary. These players from the Abbey Theatre staged the moves of

:11:43. > :11:49.Ulster moving towards the Somme at the Somme. It is a remarkable

:11:50. > :11:53.privilege to put the right next to the reality and see how the top to

:11:54. > :11:58.each other. It's already very moving and very just in herself, surrounded

:11:59. > :12:03.by the noise of nail guns and practising bands. To commemorate

:12:04. > :12:08.these men and this event and how it has resonated down 100 years. Such

:12:09. > :12:14.was the sacrifice of the 36th Ulster Division that it led the French

:12:15. > :12:18.Government to making a rather unique gesture of gratitude. The site that

:12:19. > :12:22.we are standing on here was donated in perpetuity by the people of

:12:23. > :12:31.France to the people of Ulster after the war. This was for the sacrifice

:12:32. > :12:38.made by the men from home on this site. It is our piece of land as

:12:39. > :12:40.long as there is a memorial on it. Technically, when you come through

:12:41. > :12:48.every date, you are no longer in France. As French protocol, to this

:12:49. > :12:54.day, they don't walk into the site without an invitation. Over 2000

:12:55. > :12:58.Ulstermen were killed with 5500 killed, wounded and missing on the

:12:59. > :13:03.first day of the fighting. Tomorrow, the slaughter at the Somme will be

:13:04. > :13:10.remembered by tens of thousands of people 100 years after the battle.

:13:11. > :13:14.Everything is now in place for this special televised Saum centenary

:13:15. > :13:19.service. Probably the most important of all the centenary commemorations,

:13:20. > :13:20.particularly for those families who have connections with the 36th

:13:21. > :13:32.Ulster Division. With me now is the historian fill

:13:33. > :13:40.up. Pick the battle into some context. It is really probably the

:13:41. > :13:44.worst battle as far as the British Army is concerned in its entire

:13:45. > :13:48.history. It broke out on the 1st of July. Tomorrow, 100 years ago. If we

:13:49. > :13:52.had been here 100 years ago, there would have been an enormous

:13:53. > :13:57.artillery bombardment happening. We wouldn't have been able to hear our

:13:58. > :14:01.ears. In the Thiepval would, which is not far from us here, the Ulster

:14:02. > :14:05.division were waiting to go over the top into no man's land and they

:14:06. > :14:10.wanted to charge up the hell, which we have behind the Ulster Tower here

:14:11. > :14:15.and take the German position. It was the beginning of 141 days of

:14:16. > :14:19.enormous conflict and a terrible loss of life. You interviewed many

:14:20. > :14:25.of the veterans in the 1980s. How'd they reflect on the battle that they

:14:26. > :14:28.had managed to survive given that so few had survived? I was talking to

:14:29. > :14:32.old men who were coming towards the end of their lives and I have to say

:14:33. > :14:37.that none of them that I ever spoke to talk about the battle in terms of

:14:38. > :14:42.glory in terms of personal achievements they had. They talked

:14:43. > :14:46.in terms of, first of all, lost comrades young men that had gone to

:14:47. > :14:50.be worn with them and weren't there any more. They had vanished on the

:14:51. > :14:57.slopes we are standing on here today 100 years ago. One man told me that

:14:58. > :15:00.when he came back here in 1866 on the 50th anniversary, when he was on

:15:01. > :15:04.the way back to Belfast by plane, he turned round the person beside him

:15:05. > :15:08.and said, I don't care if that plane goes down now because I have seen

:15:09. > :15:14.the place for all those young fellows who went off with us to the

:15:15. > :15:18.battle and proudly perished. That somehow got some kind of closure of

:15:19. > :15:23.him and managed to close the issue. Many of the men I talk to refer to

:15:24. > :15:25.horrible circumstances. One man called Tommy talked about being in

:15:26. > :15:29.the German trenches in the 1st of July and he came round the corner of

:15:30. > :15:33.the Trent and there was a German soldier and it was kill the killed.

:15:34. > :15:37.He had to shoot the German soldier. He told me that all those years

:15:38. > :15:43.later, when he tried to think back to the battle of the Somme and the

:15:44. > :15:46.various people that he knew and the incidence, the one thing that stayed

:15:47. > :15:51.in his mind alongside the sound of the guns, all those decades later,

:15:52. > :15:56.was the face of the man that he'd had to. We are talking about an

:15:57. > :16:01.enormously important battle, full of courage and we have to acknowledge

:16:02. > :16:05.and respect that but also a time of terrible suffering on all sides.

:16:06. > :16:10.Thank you very much. We will be broadcasting the service life here

:16:11. > :16:12.on BBC One. In a BBC newsline special starting at 1:15pm tomorrow.

:16:13. > :16:14.An overnight vigil will be held at the Somme

:16:15. > :16:18.It's open to the public and is one of several similar events

:16:19. > :16:28.The vigil here at the Somme Museum will start at 7pm this evening, it's

:16:29. > :16:32.one of several being held around the UK, Cardiff and Edinburgh over the

:16:33. > :16:36.Queen will be attending a service at Westminster Abbey around the grave

:16:37. > :16:40.of the unknown Warrior. This is a particularly iconic location to have

:16:41. > :16:44.the vigil in Northern Ireland because the soldiers of the 36th

:16:45. > :16:48.Ulster Division trained in the grounds not far from here before

:16:49. > :16:52.they headed to the battlefields of France. The vigil will go on

:16:53. > :16:57.overnight. It is open to the public and will end with a service at 7pm

:16:58. > :17:02.tomorrow -- 7am tomorrow morning. That will last 45 minutes and

:17:03. > :17:06.exactly 728, Wessels will be blown in marking the moment soldiers of

:17:07. > :17:09.the 36th Ulster Division left their trenches to take part in one of the

:17:10. > :17:12.bloodiest battles in human history. Some of the other stories making

:17:13. > :17:15.the news this evening: A doctor who falsified drug

:17:16. > :17:17.trials has won his appeal Senior judges in Belfast ruled

:17:18. > :17:21.that the nine-month jail term imposed on Dr Hugh McGoldrick

:17:22. > :17:28.of Crossgar Road East in Crossgar should instead be

:17:29. > :17:30.suspended for two years. The Downpatrick based GP admitted

:17:31. > :17:32.falsifying clinical trials A teenager from west Belfast has

:17:33. > :17:39.been jailed for killing his best friend and seriously injuring a nun

:17:40. > :17:43.in a car crash. The driver, who cannot be

:17:44. > :17:46.named for legal reasons, was travelling at speeds of up

:17:47. > :17:49.to 100mph when he hit a car being driven by Sister Josephine

:17:50. > :17:51.McAteer on the Saintfield Conal Daly died in the crash,

:17:52. > :18:00.which happened in October 2014. A major housing association says it

:18:01. > :18:06.has secured loans worth ?135 million to help build

:18:07. > :18:08.2,500 new homes. Clanmil Housing Group says three

:18:09. > :18:10.local banks are providing the loans, which will go into an eight-year

:18:11. > :18:12.building programme Tiny trackers are being fitted

:18:13. > :18:24.to one of our noisiest summer visitors in an attempt to reverse

:18:25. > :18:29.a decline in their numbers. For the first time, GPS technology

:18:30. > :18:32.is being used to map precise movements of our swifts,

:18:33. > :18:35.birds which are known The idea is to work out

:18:36. > :18:42.where they're feeding so we can help But as our agriculture

:18:43. > :18:45.and environment correspondent finds out,

:18:46. > :18:54.swifts aren't stupid. Catching swifts is not

:18:55. > :18:57.work you do quickly. We'd put up our net at this nest

:18:58. > :19:01.site and sat back to wait for one Two hours later, and aware

:19:02. > :19:05.of our presence, they still hadn't When one finally did,

:19:06. > :19:24.it was a mad dash to get to it This is what the residents of those

:19:25. > :19:29.boxes are after. This is the ground up remains of three to 500 bugs

:19:30. > :19:33.properly from the nearby towns. To find a exactly where those birds go

:19:34. > :19:37.to get this stuff, that this project is about.

:19:38. > :19:39.To do that we need to take our captive

:19:40. > :19:41.swift indoors and fit in with a tiny tracker.

:19:42. > :19:44.It's an intricate ten minute job to tie this GPS logger

:19:45. > :19:55.Scientists are hoping it'll provide them important new information.

:19:56. > :20:00.We are trying to understand how five-year going to forage, what

:20:01. > :20:05.habitats they are foraging over and so on and all of this is designed to

:20:06. > :20:05.inform us about the habitats that they need.

:20:06. > :20:08.Swifts travel up to 12,000 miles from Africa to

:20:09. > :20:11.They're mainly urban birds nesting in old buildings,

:20:12. > :20:13.many of which are being knocked down or restored.

:20:14. > :20:19.They're known for aeriel acrobatics so the backpack won't affect

:20:20. > :20:30.We have to put on loosely and else but tightly enough so that when the

:20:31. > :20:34.bird is moving around at very high speeds subjecting itself to four

:20:35. > :20:36.times the force of normal gravity, it stays in the bird and doesn't

:20:37. > :20:37.interfere with it. And if a little reluctant at first,

:20:38. > :20:40.our swift is ready to fly again. His daily hunt for food now, part

:20:41. > :20:44.of a scientific effort to help him Now, for the past month it's been

:20:45. > :20:55.the footballers action in France. Today, it's some

:20:56. > :20:57.of our local golfers. Thomas Nilblock is with

:20:58. > :21:02.us this evening. It's just 93 days until

:21:03. > :21:04.the Ryder Cup begins. Rory McIlroy and Graeme

:21:05. > :21:07.McDowell helped Europe Today, they are playing

:21:08. > :21:11.in the French Open and, this year, the competition carries double

:21:12. > :21:14.Ryder Cup qualification points. However, it's been a very bad day

:21:15. > :21:18.at the office for McDowell who struggled on his way to a nine

:21:19. > :21:22.over par round of 80. McIlroy, who's assured a place

:21:23. > :21:25.on the Ryder Cup team, Starting on the 10th tee,

:21:26. > :21:30.he birdied three of his first six But the world number four admitted

:21:31. > :21:36.he's struggling with his swing as he fell back to even for the day

:21:37. > :21:39.- five shots behind leader Meanwhile, the European team captain

:21:40. > :21:44.Darren Clarke finished McIlroy, though, is still well

:21:45. > :21:49.in contention in his final event before the Open championship

:21:50. > :21:54.in two weeks time. Now he's just 20-years old,

:21:55. > :21:57.and at junior level he's a three time world champion

:21:58. > :21:59.but this summer comes the biggest challenge of them all -

:22:00. > :22:03.the Olympic Games in Brazil. Huston qualified as a member

:22:04. > :22:06.of the Great Britain team and he believes he is good enough

:22:07. > :22:21.to win an Olympic medal. This is what qualifying for the

:22:22. > :22:25.Olympics looks like 420 old Patrick Huston, the fulfilment of the dream.

:22:26. > :22:30.I've been working on it for years and it's brilliant to finally the

:22:31. > :22:35.T-shirt today. I've put an awful lot into it and people have helped me

:22:36. > :22:43.and it'll be great to reserve -- represent them on the best stage

:22:44. > :22:46.possible. I know when I qualified my spot, my coach is the double bronze

:22:47. > :22:50.medallist and three-time Olympian and he shook my hand and said

:22:51. > :22:55.welcome to the club. That meant a lot. With the Olympics just over a

:22:56. > :22:59.month away, Houston is finalising his preparation and determined to

:23:00. > :23:04.make an impact on the games begin. The realistic ambition of me is the

:23:05. > :23:07.medal. I want to be a limit champion so does everybody but I've won a

:23:08. > :23:11.host of Betway World Cup of Darts career up until now and I plan on

:23:12. > :23:15.winning a host via as well. As much as I want to win, the fact of

:23:16. > :23:21.getting to the Olympic Games when they are so many British archers, to

:23:22. > :23:24.be able to be that person selected to represent Great Britain at the

:23:25. > :23:29.Olympic Games is just a surreal and incredible experience. If hosting

:23:30. > :23:32.can be on target in real, you might just bring home the ultimate prize.

:23:33. > :23:34.Roy Carroll could make his debut for Linfield in tonight's

:23:35. > :23:36.Europa League qualifying round first leg tie against Cork

:23:37. > :23:40.The 38-year-old goalkeeper was part of Northern Ireland's squad for Euro

:23:41. > :23:43.2016 in France but comes straight into contention for the game.

:23:44. > :23:49.Cliftonville are away to FC Differ-dange of Luxembourg.

:23:50. > :23:57.At half-time, Cliftonville trailed 1-0.

:23:58. > :24:00.Half time and it's? Irish Cup champions Glenavon are also away

:24:01. > :24:03.in the first leg this evening against Iceland's KR Reykjavik.

:24:04. > :24:06.Northern Ireland and the Republic may be out of the Euros

:24:07. > :24:08.but their fans have been hailed as the best in the tournament.

:24:09. > :24:11.Both sets of supporters are to be given the prestigious Medal

:24:12. > :24:13.of the city of Paris, which marks international cultural,

:24:14. > :24:28.Different sets of supporters but both in green and both winners.

:24:29. > :24:31.Announcing a special award from the city of Paris,

:24:32. > :24:49.There was no shortage of joyful moments.

:24:50. > :24:55.Northern Ireland supporters won over the Germans.

:24:56. > :25:11.And the Republic's fans had a sing-song with the French police.

:25:12. > :25:16.And what really impressed their hosts was when they made

:25:17. > :25:32.Now let's have a look at the weather forecast here's Geoff Maskell.

:25:33. > :25:38.Tomorrow is the first day of July and the schools are breaking up and

:25:39. > :25:42.I would like to be able to give you a tale of glorious summer sunshine

:25:43. > :25:46.but unfortunately it's going to look a bit like this. This is the rain we

:25:47. > :25:53.have had through this evening causing problems for drivers. It

:25:54. > :25:58.will ease off overnight. Those showers are not away for a very

:25:59. > :26:03.long. We go through tomorrow, it's going to be a pretty breezy, showery

:26:04. > :26:08.sort of day and some of that breeze will really hold the temperatures

:26:09. > :26:12.back. We start of drive but it won't take very long before the showers

:26:13. > :26:17.started coming. The farm up into bands and could be quite heavy.

:26:18. > :26:23.There will be the odd break here and there but the area is very unstable.

:26:24. > :26:27.Always the chance of some thunder and maybe the odd flash of

:26:28. > :26:30.lightning. Consider that this time last year we were having

:26:31. > :26:34.temperatures of around the 30 degrees mark. Tomorrow is the very

:26:35. > :26:42.different story. As we go through the evening, the showers will

:26:43. > :26:46.continue off and on. Heading into the weekend with some pretty

:26:47. > :26:50.unstable weather. It is being caused by this area of low pressure which

:26:51. > :26:54.has become firmly established in northern Scotland. These are tightly

:26:55. > :26:58.packed ice of eyes which are a sign of a strong westerly breeze. It will

:26:59. > :27:02.be in evidence to the weekend. Well things become drier, it will still

:27:03. > :27:06.feel cool because of that breeze. The shower is never terribly far

:27:07. > :27:11.away. This is what you will wake up to on Saturday morning. If you

:27:12. > :27:15.showers. They will ease as we go through the day with the impact on

:27:16. > :27:19.the temperatures. A little warmer by the time we get to Sunday. Things

:27:20. > :27:23.can definitely see the daytime but it's not long before that next

:27:24. > :27:27.weather system starts to approach bringing the morning. If this is

:27:28. > :27:29.what summer is going to look like, I think we should all ask for a refund

:27:30. > :27:31.Our refund late summary is at 10.30pm.You can also

:27:32. > :27:33.keep in contact with us via Facebook and twitter.

:27:34. > :27:55.On the 30th of June, we'll be coming together

:27:56. > :27:59.to commemorate the centenery of the Battle of the Somme.
