And the news that Theresa May, currently Home Secretary, will be

:00:00.3:59:59

here in Scores of 11th night

:00:00.:00:00.

bonfires are being lit across Northern Ireland

:00:07.:00:09.

as environmental concerns have been Hundreds have appeared

:00:10.:00:13.

at several locations. The Northern Ireland Environment

:00:14.:00:18.

Agency says they've issued five ?300 fines over dumping at bonfires

:00:19.:00:22.

within the past two months. The police say they're also

:00:23.:00:26.

investigating complaints about election posters of Sinn Fein

:00:27.:00:29.

candidates being placed on one Tara Mills visited several

:00:30.:00:34.

bonfires earlier today. The bonfire here is usually

:00:35.:00:40.

one of the biggest. It's hard to estimate how many tyres

:00:41.:00:43.

are on this bonfire. One resident said he reckons it

:00:44.:00:49.

could be as many as 2,000. Those who built it wouldn't appear

:00:50.:00:52.

on camera but said ministerial cars at Stormont cause more pollution

:00:53.:00:56.

to the atmosphere. But some people with children

:00:57.:01:00.

living on the estate say One mum with a six-year-old son

:01:01.:01:03.

with asthma says he will feel Another told me they won't be able

:01:04.:01:08.

to open their windows One resident who's lived

:01:09.:01:13.

in Ballycraigy for 40 years says And what about from

:01:14.:01:17.

an environmental point of view? It depends what way the wind

:01:18.:01:27.

is blowing down towards the house, you get smoke around the roof

:01:28.:01:29.

of the house and the front garden. You are one of the closest

:01:30.:01:38.

to the bonfire. The windows will get

:01:39.:01:41.

fairly hot if the wind is blowing down

:01:42.:01:46.

this way, but I bring a garden hose around

:01:47.:01:49.

to the I will bring in skips

:01:50.:01:51.

to make sure tyres What about some of the more

:01:52.:02:00.

unpleasant messages? Looking at the gunman on that sign,

:02:01.:02:06.

does that annoy you? If you say anything you will be

:02:07.:02:13.

the worst in the world, so you just have to let

:02:14.:02:19.

them get on with it. There appear to be more tyres

:02:20.:02:23.

on other bonfires this year too. Here in Drumtara, those who built it

:02:24.:02:27.

say it's not all made of tyres - But they weren't happy

:02:28.:02:31.

with us filming. We'd agreed to interview a DUP

:02:32.:02:35.

councillor but after she was told by a local resident to say nothing,

:02:36.:02:40.

she declined the opportunity. We condemn the use of tyres due

:02:41.:02:43.

to the environmental and health concerns which arise

:02:44.:02:48.

when they are burnt. We do not own the land

:02:49.:02:51.

on which the bonfire is placed, and we do not have legal

:02:52.:02:56.

remit to remove any We hope the organisers will see

:02:57.:02:58.

the need to remove the tyres to make it a safer and more environmentally

:02:59.:03:03.

responsible event for everyone. One resident told us if we gave

:03:04.:03:07.

the area bad publicity, the bonfire would be twice

:03:08.:03:10.

as big next year. The Environment Minister,

:03:11.:03:13.

Michelle McIlveen, wasn't available for interview but

:03:14.:03:16.

the department said: Lead responsibility

:03:17.:03:18.

for bonfire management rests with local councils

:03:19.:03:20.

and within district-council-led The Northern Ireland Environment

:03:21.:03:24.

Agency will concentrate on progressively reducing the number

:03:25.:03:28.

of tyres being burnt on bonfires. At this smaller

bonfire in Kellswater, And it's being built

:03:34.:03:35.

very close to the road. It'll be lunchtime tomorrow before

:03:36.:03:40.

any real assessment can be made Politicians here have been

:03:41.:03:43.

reacting to the news that the Home Secretary Theresa May

:03:44.:03:52.

is to become Prime It's less than three weeks

:03:53.:03:54.

since the Home Secretary paid a visit to Northern Ireland

:03:55.:03:59.

to support the Remain campaign But earlier today Mrs May said

:04:00.:04:02.

Brexit meant Brexit, and she was determined

:04:03.:04:08.

that her government would She will want to work hard to ensure

:04:09.:04:10.

the UK goes forward together as one, so we will be working very closely

:04:11.:04:18.

with the government under Theresa May to ensure that the union is

:04:19.:04:22.

protected and that the UK develops the opportunities that will now

:04:23.:04:28.

arise from new trading relationships with many countries across the globe

:04:29.:04:32.

as well as ensuring we continue to have a strong relationship

:04:33.:04:38.

with the European Union. I would urge Theresa May to do

:04:39.:04:41.

all she can to protect human rights, protect the people

:04:42.:04:44.

here who voted to remain in Europe and the most vulnerable people

:04:45.:04:47.

in society because the previous government under David Cameron

:04:48.:04:51.

has failed miserably. The Secretary of State,

:04:52.:04:56.

Theresa Villiers, backed Mrs May's rival in the Conservative leadership

:04:57.:04:59.

contest, Andrea Leadsom. I asked Ms Villiers for her reaction

:05:00.:05:03.

to today's developments. In many ways I am sad

:05:04.:05:07.

that Andrea felt she had to withdraw from

:05:08.:05:10.

the campaign but I understand and

:05:11.:05:11.

respect that decision, and I think it is very welcome that we can move

:05:12.:05:14.

straightaway to select our new Prime Minister, Theresa May, I am sure,

:05:15.:05:22.

would do a great job. She has my full support

:05:23.:05:25.

and I think dispensing with the need for two

:05:26.:05:29.

months of age difficult leadership election

:05:30.:05:33.

is You say she has your full

:05:34.:05:34.

support but she wasn't What was it about Theresa

:05:35.:05:38.

May that you didn't think she could become

:05:39.:05:43.

Prime Minister? I was always clear the two

:05:44.:05:46.

candidates I thought were the best ones were the ones

:05:47.:05:49.

on the ballot paper, either Andrea or Teresa

:05:50.:05:51.

could My reason for backing

:05:52.:05:54.

Andrea was because we were on the same side in the referendum

:05:55.:05:59.

but I am confident that the reason may respect the decision

:06:00.:06:03.

made in the referendum. I think she will conduct

:06:04.:06:07.

the negotiation with a European neighbours with skill and respect

:06:08.:06:15.

thing the decision made the people Do you trust Theresa

:06:16.:06:17.

May to deliver on the referendum, because as you say

:06:18.:06:22.

she was in the remaining camp? I do, she has been very clear

:06:23.:06:27.

from the moment the result was announced that she

:06:28.:06:30.

respect that it, that Brexit means Brexit and I think

:06:31.:06:36.

the country is in safe Prime Minister and the negotiation

:06:37.:06:39.

of our exit from the European Union Do you think you will remain

:06:40.:06:45.

as Secretary of State for these things

:06:46.:06:54.

are never predictable, I would love to stay on but whether I

:06:55.:06:57.

am not I will come back to visit And her big task is uniting

:06:58.:07:01.

the Conservatives. How difficult do you

:07:02.:07:10.

think that will be? I think it is important all my

:07:11.:07:14.

conservative colleagues get behind We all need to make

:07:15.:07:17.

a success of Brexit so whether we leave or remain, it is in

:07:18.:07:24.

all our interests to be a united party strongly supporting

:07:25.:07:29.

our new Prime Minister and it is a matter of pride to make

:07:30.:07:33.

that the Conservatives have given this country its second

:07:34.:07:36.

woman Prime Minister. Dissident Republican paramilitaries

:07:37.:07:40.

are being blamed for a bomb It was discovered by

:07:41.:07:47.

police over the weekend. Nationalist politicians in Derry

:07:48.:07:53.

have condemned those responsible. Work was continuing as normal

:07:54.:08:01.

today on this development Around 200 new homes are being built

:08:02.:08:03.

as part of a social housing estate. It is here the PSNI found a viable

:08:04.:08:08.

bomb at other component parts The police say the bomb discovered

:08:09.:08:13.

was an improvised explosive device. This is a development with

:08:14.:08:28.

approximately 200 houses that are badly needed in this area.

:08:29.:08:33.

the actions of these people are not welcome.

:08:34.:08:35.

God knows what the aftermath could have been if this

:08:36.:08:37.

Brian Tierney contracted the actions behind this device with other

:08:38.:08:41.

One local councillor described those responsible as reckless thugs

:08:42.:08:52.

He said the major festivals currently attracting thousands

:08:53.:08:54.

of visitors underlie the positive side of a city determined to move

:08:55.:08:57.

These people who support that should be brought on the media to explain

:08:58.:09:02.

why they are still carrying out this type of activity.

:09:03.:09:04.

The police say the operation was part of an investigation

:09:05.:09:07.

As part of that investigation, a 48-year-old man was arrested

:09:08.:09:13.

after a house search in the Creggan area.

:09:14.:09:15.

A man was arrested and subsequently released unconditionally.

:09:16.:09:22.

Bus services have been suspended in a district on the outskirts

:09:23.:09:26.

of west Belfast because of a petrol bomb attack on a bus at the weekend.

:09:27.:09:30.

The union Unite says drivers are not prepared to return

:09:31.:09:33.

to the Lagmore View area until there are safety guarantees.

:09:34.:09:37.

It says it appears that a petrol bomb was deliberately targeted

:09:38.:09:40.

at one of its drivers, also putting the lives

:09:41.:09:43.

The death of a Tyrone man at the weekend has led to fresh

:09:44.:09:48.

calls for greater safety when riding quad bikes.

:09:49.:09:51.

24-year-old Keith Robinson was fatally injured when his quad

:09:52.:09:55.

Flowers at the roadside mark the spot where

:09:56.:10:02.

Keith Robinson from Fivemiletown was riding his quad bike along

:10:03.:10:09.

the Aghintain Road in the early hours of Sunday morning

:10:10.:10:12.

A local councillor said the community has been devastated

:10:13.:10:18.

by the tragedy, and his thoughts are with his parents and sister.

:10:19.:10:22.

He was well known socially, great local mechanics and cars and

:10:23.:10:27.

anything with an engine, and had worked in the garage in Clogher.

:10:28.:10:33.

The accident was reported to the police at about 5am.

:10:34.:10:36.

They said no other vehicle was involved in the collision.

:10:37.:10:40.

The accident here is just the latest involving quad bikes that have

:10:41.:10:44.

resulted in death or serious injury and it has led to renewed appeals to

:10:45.:10:49.

those who use them to take extra care.

:10:50.:10:53.

The safety features on them are not great, there's no protection

:10:54.:10:56.

as such and most of the time when they are used by farmers they don't

:10:57.:11:00.

wear helmets, so they certainly would have to have extreme caution

:11:01.:11:07.

with them because they are easily tipped over.

:11:08.:11:10.

The police have appealed for anyone who may have been travelling

:11:11.:11:13.

on the Aghintain Road yesterday morning to contact them.

:11:14.:11:21.

The Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, has rejected calls for him

:11:22.:11:24.

Some Fine Gael TDs have said the party needs to begin choosing

:11:25.:11:29.

a replacement and he should set a date for his departure.

:11:30.:11:33.

But today Mr Kenny said he had no intention of being diverted

:11:34.:11:37.

from the task of leading the country and delivering

:11:38.:11:40.

The weather is next. We did see some improvement in the

:11:41.:11:57.

weather today. Temperatures up to 20 degrees across parts of the south

:11:58.:12:00.

east. It was fresher towards the north coast and generally over the

:12:01.:12:05.

next few days it will feel fresher. Still some showery bursts in the

:12:06.:12:08.

forecast but some bright or sunny intervals as well. If anything

:12:09.:12:13.

through tonight, the showers ease back towards the north coast. Many

:12:14.:12:18.

inland areas in the dryer with clear spells. These figures are in the

:12:19.:12:23.

towns. Some rural spots could be getting a little bit lower. Tomorrow

:12:24.:12:29.

if you are heading to the parades, it is busy the sunshine and showers

:12:30.:12:34.

so you may want to pack something waterproof. Not too many of the

:12:35.:12:37.

showers are first thing. Many places will get a dry and bright start. The

:12:38.:12:44.

showers became Ms morning onwards. Sunshine and showers across many

:12:45.:12:47.

parts of Britain and Ireland tomorrow. Showers more frequent for

:12:48.:12:50.

Scotland and Ireland. To begin with across Wales, the showers will drift

:12:51.:12:55.

into words England and some may get heavy and sharp wit and which is

:12:56.:13:05.

rising to 20 Celsius. For Northern Ireland, in the afternoon there will

:13:06.:13:08.

be a few showers knocking about, just drifting in from the West and

:13:09.:13:12.

the odd one could be on the sharp side but we will have dry gaps in

:13:13.:13:17.

between and feeling fresh enough at about 16 degrees. On Wednesday,

:13:18.:13:20.

still some showers which will ease off before a ridge of high pressure

:13:21.:13:25.

before another weather system comes in for thirsty and Friday.
