St Patrick's Day in the university area of south Belfast, | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
residents are concerned at new proposals to tackle | :00:57. | :00:58. | |

I'm here to find out what's being done to promote attractions | :01:04. | :01:06. | |

The PSNI has smashed a South-east Asian organised crime | :01:19. | :01:32. | |
gang operating out of a luxury apartment block | :01:33. | :01:34. | |
Today three of the gang were jailed for a total of just over 11 years | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
for their part in the UK-wide drug smuggling and distribution network. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
In the dock were Hui Lin, who was jailed for five years, | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Juan Guan, who got a three-year sentence, and Yu Li, | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
who was jailed for three and a half years. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
this is one of the gang entering the apartment building carrying a | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
holdall with 15 kilograms of cannabis. He is just one part of | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
what the police call a major network. They operated out of this | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
apartment building. The police investigation began in October 2014 | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
when they became aware of suspect packages being posted to Northern | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Ireland from Spain. The inquiry codenamed operation car Holder | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
involved the PSNI, the South Yorkshire Police, the Metropolitan | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
Police and the National Crime Agency. The drugs and subsequent | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
money-laundering evolved mainly herbal cannabis. When detectives | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
swooped on the apartment in the oval tower they seized ?560,000 worth of | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
herbal cannabis, smaller quantities of other drugs, cash and equipment | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
using drug cultivation. There were sieges in other parts of Northern | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
Ireland including Carrickfergus and Portadown. Vehicles were all Kosovo | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
in pounded and bank accounts frozen following a dozen searches. Three | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
people were sentenced today. We waste other investigations with | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
money trail so we will identify quite quickly that cash deposit have | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
been made to a number of accounts in Great Britain. One of whom was a | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
young female student who had received over ?60,000 in a matter of | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
months deposit into her account. That is always good to focus our | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
interest. But clearly somebody that's been used to try and stay | :03:27. | :03:35. | |
under the radar in terms of laundering money from the illegal | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
drugs trafficking activities. Last week to age and women were given | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
suspended sentences from money-laundering offences. The | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
police say this multi-agency inquiry has succeeded in taking down a UK | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
wide drug smuggling and distribution network. | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
A veteran republican is to stand trial for involvement | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
She was kidnapped, killed and buried by the IRA in 1972. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Her remains were only found decades later. | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
79 year old Ivor Bell of Ramoan Gardens in Belfast | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
is charged with soliciting the murder of the west | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
It's a killing that continues to shock. Wrongly accused of being an | :04:10. | :04:22. | |
informer, Jean McConville was dragged from home, shot in the head | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
and secretly buried. Decades later, the IRA admitted murders the mother | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
of ten. In 2003, her remains were found on a beach in county Louth. To | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
date, no one has been convicted. Today, either Bell seen here on the | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
right was told he'll stand trial accused of involvement. The | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
veterinary public and faces two charges of soliciting the murder. | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
During the short hearing, either Bell stood alone in the dark as the | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
charges were read. As to the had any reply to the charges, he said no | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
massively wanted to call any witnesses at this stage, he again | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
said no. Watching on, six Jean McConville 's children. The judge | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
made reference to the Boston tapes, recordings of interviews with | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
loyalist and republican is carried out for an American oral history | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
project at Boston College. It's alleged that either Bell was one of | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
a number of interviewees, claim he denies. Some recordings were secured | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
following a transatlantic court battle and the judge said today they | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
could be admitted as evidence. The district judge says that following a | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
preliminary inquiry last week she was satisfied the standard of proof | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
had been met and there was sufficient evidence for the case to | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
proceed to trial. Either Bell was released on continuing bail, the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
date of his trial is yet to be said. The fallout continues | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
from yesterday's inquiry Politicians, former soldiers | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
and their families have given their reaction, | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
but what about Iraqi I've been talking to some | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
about the inquiry and about Your son and his wife are doctors | :06:01. | :06:17. | |
from Baghdad. Both were studying at university when the war began in | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
2003. The couple and their two-year-old son were forced to flee | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
the country last year. I asked them how Iraq had changed since the | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
invasion. The situation became more before Saddam in 2003 and because of | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
the art of the American who decided to begin the war in Iraq. Chemical | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
weapons and nuclear weapons but until now there is no clue that the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
American Britain found that any of these weapons in Iraq. His wife says | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
she can't forget the terror and devastation caused by the invasion. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
The sounds of the bombs was very terrible and all of ours live in | :07:06. | :07:13. | |
terror. We are afraid from everything and we don't know what | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
will happen. Are you angry about what happened during the war? | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
Actually, yes, because after the war everything is destroyed in Iraq. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Before that, we are also not living well but we aren't safe. Most people | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
say. No wanting kill another one. See you think the war made the | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
situation in Iraq much worse. Yes, because every day is 50 people | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
killed because of their everyday because of the bombs and the terror | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
groups that can easily come up and captured the people. Fellow Iraqi | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
Rapide has lived here for much longer but he too feels anger about | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
the consequences of the war. If you compare it to what's going on today, | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
it steadily better this current since 2003 there is not a single | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
hospital built. Not a single school was built. Not a single road was | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
built. Definitely under Saddam Hussein life was better for Henri | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
people. Today we are losing a hundred people every day, car bombs, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
killings, definitely we are better off without this war. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
A visit to Northern Ireland by a group of potential US | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
investors has been postponed following the UK's | :08:30. | :08:30. | |
The news was broken to politicians by the country's special | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
representative here Senator Gary Hart. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
The Sinn Fein deputy first minister Martin McGuinness says | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
This report from our political correspondent Gareth Gordon. | :08:40. | :08:47. | |
He once had his eye on the White House but these days Senator Gary | :08:48. | :08:56. | |
Hart is the State Department special representative in Northern Ireland. | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
With an interest in attracting new investment from the US. A number of | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
potential US were due in Belfast that and Londonderry not sober but | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
when Senator Hartmut the Deputy First Minister here yesterday he had | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
bad news. It was to be an economic investment mission. The size and | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
scale of it was always something that would manifest itself over time | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
and the fact that it's not happening whether it's low-key or high key, | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
large or small, it has been postponed directly as a result of | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
the breaks that vote and it has the serious concern. US sources refused | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
to confirm the postponement was because the referendum but listening | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
to what President Obama said in a brief visit last month before the | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
vote. Our focus is negotiating with a big block, the European Union, | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
together trade agreement done. The UK is going to be in the back of the | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
queue. Senator Hartmut other politicians during his brief visit. | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
They too are concerned. I would have thought this was a particularly | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
significant blow because it's one that I understand has been worked on | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
by various people in Northern Ireland, the make on this | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
administration released a year now so it's a bad blow because we were | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
at the point where they are about the money when amounts were. We | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
warned that there would be disinvestment or a lack of new | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
investment and that is becoming the case. That's why we have to work as | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
an island to protect the interests of the people of the island because | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
London won't. The only large party in Northern Ireland to back the | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
decision to leave the EU, the DUP, declined to comment. It is of course | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
too early to know how Northern Ireland will be affected by Brexit | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
good or bad, but stories like this are bound to increase any | :10:57. | :10:57. | |
nervousness. A boy who travelled halfway around | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
the world for treatment for epilepsy eight years ago is facing | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
a new health threat. BBC Newsline followed Billy Caldwell | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
and his mum Charlotte After several years of stability, | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
his seizures have started again and his family has been told | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
he will have to wait up to nine months to access specialist care | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
in the UK. Julian Fowler has been | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
speaking to them. After Billy Caldwell was born, | :11:22. | :11:34. | |
doctors at the royal sent him home to die. This month he will celebrate | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
as 11 birthday. He can now walk, slim and ride horses and goes to a | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
special school. These are the good times, but in recent weeks is a | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
collective sieges have returned and I getting worse. We're watching them | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
praying and hoping, it's heartbreaking because I know that | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
one of them can kill them and it can happen just at that moment in front | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
of me. His condition had been under control following two years of | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
treatment in America, Charlotte says Billy needs a full review of his | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
condition but he can't get the medical help the new terror home. We | :12:15. | :12:22. | |
tried accessing for centres set up with in England to treat children | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
with epilepsy and their is a 69 month waiting list to get him in. | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
Charlotte says Billy and other children like him can't afford to | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
wait. The intuitive and 22 250 that have condition and epilepsy, they're | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
basically just left to die. Because the waiting lists, there is no | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
access and if they don't die the seizure is actually regressing them | :12:53. | :12:55. | |
and depleting them and their quality life is affected. Charlotte once the | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
health service to treat epilepsy with the same urgency as other | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
life-threatening illnesses. She believes the specialist care | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
available in America should be available here. | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
Still to come before seven: Former world champion boxer | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
Wayne McCullough on the challenge Carl Frampton faces | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
I'm behind in the win the fight but it tough he's got be ready for it. | :13:19. | :13:37. | |
Fluctuations in the sterling rate because of Brexit could benefit | :13:38. | :13:39. | |
A trip north will cost less for people in the Republic | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
Yesterday we looked at some places in the west that | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
are trying to compete with the better known attractions. | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
This evening Donna Traynor is in Downpatrick. | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
Visitor numbers from the Republic dropped again last year, a decrease | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
of 18% on the previous year. You would think a place like this would | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
be attractive for people throughout Ireland, as Downpatrick is the home | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
of the patron saint Patrick although this Centre is not in Northern | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
Ireland 's top ten. In a moment be speaking to the man whose job is to | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
develop and market tourism in Northern Ireland but first we | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
visited the breed the full range of galleon in county Armagh. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
Richie and legend, steeped in history and views to die for, to | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
some the ring of galleon has it all. What you see around South Armagh is | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
the ring, it's formed by a volcano all those years ago. It's the most | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
unique and Western Europe, we have the Irish warrior and we have Finn | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
McCool who formed the giant cool cause weight, both who lived here | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
for the short lifetime and we have more archaeological sites and any | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
other county in Ireland. You trip over any stone and you will find | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
archaeology. The Neath this leaping mountain is where the fairy folk | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
live. These little tiny doors have helped bring in more than 150,000 | :15:16. | :15:22. | |
families to this place. So much success that it needs additional | :15:23. | :15:28. | |
investment. We will be doing more investment in the region about the | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
700,000 with the clamping parts, visitor amenity facilities, the | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
parking. But it's word-of-mouth rather than official promotion that | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
some say is behind its success. It should be promoted more and you see | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
a lot of the people here are tourists coming in from abroad and | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
the locals turned not to value it is much as people coming over to | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
appreciate it more. Whatever the reasons behind those coming, a fairy | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
impact is spreading. Deftly not on the tourist map. People didn't come | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
to it at all, people come and see the ring, they what are the mountain | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
and see there's more to the place and then they come here for the eat | :16:15. | :16:20. | |
which helps us. And as this place looms, so Judas of surrounding area. | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
The ring of galleon, a beauty spot in the world. With me is a man from | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
tourism Northern Ireland. Many people you spoken to work in tourism | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
say too much attention is given to the Giants Causeway, Titanic | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Belfast, they have an promotion and others on losing out. How you | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
addressing that? We need to deal with the facts as opposed to | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
perception. The tourism industry is worth ?750 million. ?500 million of | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
that is spent outside a Belfast. About ?450 million of that is spelt | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
outside of Belfast or the Giants Causeway so every part of Northern | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
Ireland is benefiting from that and we promote Northern Ireland across a | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
range of platforms. We do that through Discover NI, our website, | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
social media, through advertising and marketing, and we work closely | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
with tour operators to bring people to places such as theirs and we do | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
not concentrate in any way in terms of Belfast or the Giants Causeway, | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
everybody gets their opportunity. Storm and strategy talks are | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
promoting and preserving Northern Ireland 's unique tourism product | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
but their larger difficulty with people from the Republic, it's a | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
beautiful scenery down south, the same ancient heritage, what is our | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
uniqueness and how do you promote that? That is right and we need to | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
do is reflect upon what it is that do is reflect upon what it is that | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
the customer once the experience. You mentioned Titanic Belfast, the | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
Giants Causeway, they are unique, there's only one Giants Causeway in | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
the world, only one city can claim to be the home of Titanic, the trick | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
for ours is when we get people to come to visit those stay little | :18:08. | :18:11. | |
longer and visit the other attractions. One of the simplest and | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
successful marketing tools down south have been the wild Atlantic | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
way. Was the possibility that that will continue across the border and | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
along our north coast? I do think when you look at what we have, if | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
you look at what we have from the mourns, Strangford, Belfast, | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
Causeway Coast, Derry, you're up in Omagh last night and Armagh, when we | :18:37. | :18:42. | |
can package that together, we have RM proposition and... You wouldn't | :18:43. | :18:49. | |
consider considering the walk away. I'd not saying that but we need to | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
link into it. It would be an opportunity in Derry. There's an old | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
adage, out of sight, out of mind, people in the tourist trade are | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
hoping places like this that are more light will be shared and what | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
they have on offer and if you days of sunshine will benefit as well. | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Residents in Belfast's Holyland have called for tougher action | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
against students partying in the area, especially | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
New proposals have been put forward for tackling the problems, | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
as our education correspondent Robbie Meredith reports. | :19:18. | :19:26. | |
This is one side of life in Belfast holy land. This is Wildflower Ali, | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
it was started a year ago. And this is another. On St Patrick's Day this | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
year. A new action plan is being drawn up by groups like Belfast City | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Council, the PSNI and the universities with input from people | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
who live there. The draft includes proposals like preventing bus-loads | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
of people coming into the area on St Patrick's Day, monitoring social | :19:53. | :19:55. | |
media in the run-up to it and more powers to confiscate alcohol. | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
Belfast City Council say that plans and finalised but residents | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
representatives say existing laws need to be enforced first. If you go | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
back to St Patrick's Day, there were 40 people given street drinking | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
tickets, then spent thousands of people with beer drinking the | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
street. Although we have a plan, it needs to be carried through and the | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
laws are there to be acted upon. For whatever reason they are not. Back | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
at Wildflower Ali, this woman thinks the clock is ticking. We have tried | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
to get the police to tell as if they were blocked the area often block | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
access to the 8000 people who are drunk and here last year. We have no | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
response. We need the police to tell as they will block of the area and | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
stop the incursion in bus-loads of drunk people from all over the | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
place. A landlord who manages hundreds of properties in the area | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
says the year-round problems are exaggerated. The students only lived | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
here forced 26 weeks the year, like travel up and down so they are here | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
for three or four nights so when you do still that down, with about 25% | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
of the nights that pop properties occupied in this area. It's not | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
seven nights a week. There is an element of Groundhog Day about all | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
this. That the many proposals put forward over the past decade trying | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
tackle some of the problems in the area. Quiet at the minute, it's | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
summer, but the test of any action plan will come when these houses are | :21:23. | :21:25. | |
full and the holy land is teeming with people. | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
On day one of golf's Scottish Open, Graeme McDowell is in contention. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
Stephen Watson has this evening's sport. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
It's the perfect time for Graeme McDowell to find some | :21:40. | :21:41. | |
form, with the Open next week and trying to push his way | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
McDowell shot an opening round of 70 in testing conditions leaving | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
the former champion just one shot off the clubhouse lead. | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
The Portrush man, who has slipped to 78th in the world rankings, | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
carded four birdies in his -2 round at a blustery Castle Stuart | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
and declared himself very happy with his day's work. | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
McDowell, who won the event in 2008 at Loch Lomond, | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
has struggled this season and missed the cut at the recent French Open. | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
He spent last weekend playing two practice rounds at Royal Troon, | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
where he will compete next week at the Open. | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
Local athlete Ciara Mageean's whirlwind summer continues apace | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
at the European Championships in Amsterdam tomorrow where | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
It will be an opportunity for the Portaferry middle-distance | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
runner to continue her build-up to next month's | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
It's a month between Europeans and Olympics and that's plenty of time | :22:32. | :22:43. | |
to race and get ready for the next race and it's been a long time since | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
I've had a big championship race so Europeans is a good race and a good | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
Championships themselves safely that will be a run out for me and a bit | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
of practice at racing before the games. Definitely my aim is to go | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
out of the games and do as best as I can. I'm going to treat every race | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
as my race so get through the first round, aim to get through the | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
semifinals and be in that final and championship racing, it's anybody's | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
game so you've got to go out there and do my best. | :23:14. | :23:15. | |
Former world boxing champion Wayne McCullough is backing | :23:16. | :23:17. | |
Carl Frampton to upset the odds and beat Mexican Leo Santa Cruz | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
in their world title fight later this month in New York. | :23:21. | :23:22. | |
McCullough, who lives in Las Vegas, was back home this week | :23:23. | :23:25. | |
and he told me that he's pleased Frampton has already | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
travelled to America to train because he believes his fellow | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
Belfast man could have prepared better for his last fight stateside. | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
He's been training for a big fight and he got to do steps, training | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
camp and then travelling abroad means doing well in advance | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
otherwise you think we forward and easily to acclimatise. You figure | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
out and acclimatise and ready. They're doing the right preparation | :23:55. | :24:02. | |
this time. Santa Cruz a tough guy, he's close to where I'm from in | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
California, he can fight. Is good to do with confidence and I'm behind | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
Frampton to win the fight and hopefully does it but it's a tough | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
fight. If I staff and yes we were ready for it. But the support the | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
key for Karl? Santa Cruz has a big following two. Carl will have the | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
bigger support, if an Irish guy fights in New York, he should fill | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
the arena. I've fought in New York and at Artic city and it was filled. | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Carl goes in as the underdog but he can do it? Always good to be the | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
underdog, I went to Japan as the underdog and came back with a belt | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
so that other pressure on the and you've got to perform, that's it. | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
Reduce the goods and get your hand raised. | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
Three Irish League clubs are in Europa League second leg | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
Linfield travel to Turners Cross trailing Cork City 1-0, | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
KR Reykjavik of Iceland take a 2-1 lead to Glenavon and Cliftonville | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
welcome Differdange of Luxembourg to Solitude. | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
Ross Lavery's crucial late away goal earned the Reds a 1-1 | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
draw in the first leg, leaving Gerard Lyttle's men | :25:06. | :25:07. | |
We'll have the results of tonight's European football | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
Let's get the weather now. In the next 48 hours, there is a very real | :25:15. | :25:33. | |
risk of a bad hair day. Not a proper for Steven myself but if your hair | :25:34. | :25:39. | |
curls in the humidity than you will want to keep the straighteners close | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
by. Over the next 48 hours we are drawing in this warm moist air from | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
the south-west. They'll be a wet night tonight but because it is from | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
the warm air it will seat and Bridges stay in double figures and | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
set of ready Sunday to end the week. A cloudy and mild day. A chance of | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
rain later on but actually not a bad picture. This is tomorrow morning, | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
always the risk of an odd shower as we go through the day but those | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
showers will be light, transitory and because we are drawing in the | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
warm air, the temperatures despite the cloud cover will still get up to | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
18 or 19. A decent enough data and the working week. Overnight Friday | :26:19. | :26:23. | |
into Saturday, we have another weather fronts coming through so it | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
will be another wet night but keep an eye on the overnight temperatures | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
as that band of rain comes through. We will see night-time lows staying | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
in the middle teens so a very mucky night. As we get into the weekend | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
proper, there is a change in the way, we are going to see rain coming | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
on, it could be heavy, things will get a bit fresher. It's all driven | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
by this area of low pressure which is developing in the Atlantic. Is | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
getting towards us and there is some good news on that because we thought | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
it would be Withers on Saturday morning, the current thinking is it | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
will be here later so we steal another day of decent weather. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
Temperatures up to 21 degrees on Saturday before the rain arrives | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
later. Sunday is not such a pretty picture, the rain will be Withers | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
throughout the day and you will be persistent. That will not | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
temperatures down. It will be warm and humid through until the weekend | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
and then by Monday the weather comes round as the north-west finally | :27:26. | :27:26. | |
things. To fill fresher. You can also keep in contact with us | :27:27. | :27:29. | |
