The Ambulance Service says it's having to call in help

:00:00.:00:09.

from the voluntary and private sectors again tonight

:00:10.:00:11.

Last night the service was down twelve crews.

:00:12.:00:16.

It says part of the problem is a high level of staff sickness.

:00:17.:00:21.

It has warned there could be delays getting to non-urgent patients.

:00:22.:00:29.

The performance of the Ambulance Service is based on an eight minute

:00:30.:00:35.

response and we are not coming anywhere close to at the minute. We

:00:36.:00:39.

can assure the public we can seek to get our crews and our paramedics to

:00:40.:00:43.

the people who need it most as quickly as we can.

:00:44.:00:46.

The animal welfare charity, the USPCA, has dismissed

:00:47.:00:48.

its Chief Executive on the grounds of gross misconduct.

:00:49.:00:50.

The charity says Stephen Philpott's dismissal relates to his management

:00:51.:00:52.

The organisers of a cycling race in a forest in County Down say those

:00:53.:01:00.

who attempted to sabotage it could have caused

:01:01.:01:02.

Rocks and logs had been placed on the route and wool had been tied

:01:03.:01:07.

A safe ride today, but only thanks to observant marshals. Checking the

:01:08.:01:24.

route yesterday they discovered it was blocked with rocks and dangerous

:01:25.:01:28.

logs with spiky branches and blue wool tied between the trees. At

:01:29.:01:33.

these speeds it is not hard to imagine the kind of damage a hidden

:01:34.:01:37.

obstacle could do, much less a piece of wool stretched across the route

:01:38.:01:41.

at head height. There is a good chance somebody could have been

:01:42.:01:47.

decapitated. Our riders could be going at speeds up to 40mph. It is

:01:48.:01:56.

not the sort of thing that a person carries with them and they've spent

:01:57.:01:59.

the time dragging out the logs and the rocks under the trail. The

:02:00.:02:06.

police have said it was an unbelievably dangerous thing to do.

:02:07.:02:10.

They have appealed for anyone who saw anything suspicious to contact

:02:11.:02:11.

them. A service to mark the centenary

:02:12.:02:14.

of the Battle of the Somme has been held at St Anne's Cathedral in

:02:15.:02:18.

Belfast. Almost 1,000 people attended

:02:19.:02:19.

as Martin Cassidy reports. The Battle of the Somme is etched

:02:20.:02:24.

forever in the memory. Costing so many lives, the Battle of

:02:25.:02:33.

the Somme is etched forever in the memory. The 36th Ulster division

:02:34.:02:39.

suffered over 5,000 casualties and were awarded four Victoria Crosses

:02:40.:02:44.

for acts of gallantry. It will bring together our remembrance of the men

:02:45.:02:49.

who went over the top on 1st July with the 36th Ulster division, but

:02:50.:02:53.

we also remember the men of the 16th Irish Division who went over the top

:02:54.:02:57.

later in the battle and lost as many men. The Somme said Dean John Mann

:02:58.:03:03.

represented an appalling human catastrophe. In the first day of

:03:04.:03:08.

battle, 17 sets of brothers were killed, their names were remembered.

:03:09.:03:14.

So too, the gallantry of four local men awarded the Victoria Cross.

:03:15.:03:18.

Northern Ireland's First Minister gave one of the readings and there

points to 2-seventeen1 face Two first-half goals from Peter

:03:48.:03:58.

Harte set the tone. The first a fantastic finish from the club man

:03:59.:04:03.

and the second from close range. Their dominance continued after the

:04:04.:04:08.

break. Rory Brennan panned it into the net

:04:09.:04:12.

seconds after being introduced as a substitute. Order was resumed when

:04:13.:04:19.

another substitute Mark Bradley fired in Tyrone's fifth of the game.

:04:20.:04:26.

While Jack Brady scored a consolidation goal for Cavan, it was

two weeks time. Let's get the weather

:04:34.:04:35.

forecast now with Cecilia. It looks as if things will warm up.

:04:36.:04:48.

Tonight dry and chilly. Temperatures in low single figures. The next

:04:49.:04:52.

raria of rain arrives in the south-west and will push north and

:04:53.:04:56.

east through the rush hour tomorrow. Not a great start to the week. Quite

:04:57.:05:00.

wet, quite chilly as well, but warming up against onwards.

:05:01.:05:03.

Temperatures in the high teens. There will be some drier weather at

:05:04.:05:07.

times as well. At least you'll get out in the garden some days this

:05:08.:05:11.

week. Not tomorrow, perhaps, though because although it will start dry,

:05:12.:05:17.

the rain arrives quickly and it will become heavy and persistent across

:05:18.:05:19.

parts of the south and south-east, more patchy towards the north coast.

:05:20.:05:23.

The rain is across us for most of the day. It edges further north into

:05:24.:05:27.

the south of Scotland and north-west England. Behind it, quite warm,

:05:28.:05:31.

muggy air pushes in across the Republic, but many parts of England

:05:32.:05:35.

and Wales avoid k the rain and staying dry with increasing cloud.

:05:36.:05:39.

The north of Scotland cool, but drier here with a few showers. Under

:05:40.:05:43.

that rain, temperatures are going to struggle, 15 Celsius at best. Not a

:05:44.:05:50.

day for the open toes. Trying up late in the day. We have drier

:05:51.:05:55.

weather on Tuesday across Northern Ireland, across the Republic and

:05:56.:05:58.

across western areas of England and Wales. Showery bits of pieces of

:05:59.:06:03.

rain continuing further north and east. The next weather front brings

:06:04.:06:07.

cloud. Some patchy rain for western Ireland and Western Scotland, but

:06:08.:06:11.

further east, it should stay dry with sunshine breaking through. On

:06:12.:06:14.

Thursday, warming up. Temperatures in the high teens or the low 20s.

:06:15.:06:19.

Still some rain at times, particularly across Scotland. There

:06:20.:06:21.

will be patchy rain across us too. So not a great start to the week.

:06:22.:06:26.

Warming up as the week goes on. Still some rain around at times.

:06:27.:06:29.

That's it. Good night.
