:05:02. > :05:07.correspondent what they had seen. We saw a white truck drive past,
:05:08. > :05:13.knocking people down. It was chaos. People were running left, right and
:05:14. > :05:21.centre, were running into cafes, just devastation. I turned and
:05:22. > :05:25.within 20 yards, the truck flew by. I said to my wife, that is

:08:49. > :08:54.been speaking about what a great time they had in Nice and it is such
:08:55. > :08:57.a beautiful city has had this inflicted upon it. One of my

:09:39. > :09:44.condolences to those affected -- we send our condolences, and to the
:09:45. > :09:48.city for such a tragedy to happen on the doorstep. For everyone who was

:10:29. > :10:31.of them adding this hospital -- are in this hospital, some are in
:10:32. > :10:35.another hospital on the other side of town. We have also learned more
:10:36. > :10:41.about the crime itself. There are three areas where the crowd were
:10:42. > :10:46.particularly packed including one area in front of a jazz band that
:10:47. > :10:52.stock up after the fireworks and in those three areas, those were the
:10:53. > :10:55.casualties were the highest. We have also learned about the criminal. The
:10:56. > :11:00.police are still not confirming the suspect they're looking at but the
:11:01. > :11:03.profile of the man whose house is searched today suggests that perhaps
:11:04. > :11:05.this crime is of a different mould to that of the parasite tax.
:11:06. > :11:13.What are your thoughts and the mood of others in Nice this evening?
:11:14. > :11:26.-- that of the Paris attacks. I got the chance to look around. At seven
:11:27. > :11:30.o'clock, you wouldn't know anything had happened. The street sweepers
:11:31. > :11:35.were out, people were laying out sunbeds, and it was almost like a
:11:36. > :11:37.denial, like the obscenity of what happened the night before was so big
:11:38. > :11:43.that people just could not accept it. People have been coming down to
:11:44. > :11:47.this enormous area, the Promenade des Anglais, just to bear witness
:11:48. > :11:51.and make sense of what has happened so the mood has slowly been changing
:11:52. > :11:54.from one of denial to moving into trying to make sense and understand
:11:55. > :11:57.what happened. The police are treating
:11:58. > :11:59.the death of a woman in Newtownards as suspicious,
:12:00. > :12:03.and are appealing for information. The body of 33-year-old
:12:04. > :12:05.Joanne Thompson, a mother of four was found at her home
:12:06. > :12:08.in Old Mill Court by a family member The police want to hear from anyone

:12:26. > :12:27.at least 14 years in prison Albert Armstrong admitted killing
:12:28. > :12:33.Colin Lindsay and Stanley Wightman Both men were found in the living
:12:34. > :12:40.room of Mr Lindsay's home They suffered severe wounds
:12:41. > :12:44.inflicted by a Samurai sword. The three men had been drinking

:12:47. > :12:49.sentence before Armstrong could be released, if ever,
:12:50. > :12:56.was a minimum of 14 years. On his first full day
:12:57. > :12:59.as the new Secretary of State, James Brokenshire has been speaking
:13:00. > :13:01.about his role and He says he plans to get the best
:13:02. > :13:06.deal possible for Northern Ireland in the Brexit negotiations
:13:07. > :13:09.and spoke about his hope not to have a new hard border
:13:10. > :13:11.with the Republic. Our political correspondent
:13:12. > :13:22.Enda McClafferty is with me. What did we learn today about this
:13:23. > :13:25.new Secretary of State? He is certainly up the challenge, that's
:13:26. > :13:28.for sure, and he started his first day on the job at Buckingham Palace
:13:29. > :13:32.picking up his seal of office from the Queen and come Monday, he will
:13:33. > :13:37.be picking up his keys from the castle at Hillsborough. In between,
:13:38. > :13:40.he will be getting briefed on the many challenges that lie ahead in
:13:41. > :13:45.his new role, not least the following from Brexit and what it
:13:46. > :13:51.will mean for Northern Ireland. Unlike his dataset, James
:13:52. > :13:55.Brokenshire footage to remain in the EU -- unlike his predecessor. But we
:13:56. > :14:00.now have to get on with the decision and make the best of it. The public
:14:01. > :14:03.have sent a clear message that they want to see the United Kingdom
:14:04. > :14:08.outside of the European Union. I think it is important that we get on
:14:09. > :14:10.with that task and I will be providing that clear voice for
:14:11. > :14:17.Northern Ireland within the Government to set out how we get the
:14:18. > :14:19.best possible outcome and working with the Executive. I've spoken to
:14:20. > :14:25.the First Minister and Deputy First Minister already and they want to
:14:26. > :14:31.continue those discussions. Border controls and a very important issue
:14:32. > :14:34.here. What did he say about that? As a man who used to be in charge of
:14:35. > :14:41.the Home Office, he knows about borders and he our -- he is adamant
:14:42. > :14:47.they will be no hard border between here and the Republic of Ireland but
:14:48. > :14:54.we should not forget that Theresa-mac a was here not long ago
:14:55. > :14:57.telling us that in the event of a Brexit Ford, the hard border would
:14:58. > :15:03.return, so the new Secretary of State was already rolling back from
:15:04. > :15:10.that warning -- Brexit fought Government vote. I've already had
:15:11. > :15:16.conversations with Frances Fitzgerald, the Irish interior
:15:17. > :15:20.Minister, to really emphasise the need for good, close collaboration
:15:21. > :15:25.and working so that we can insure we are not seeing the return of borders
:15:26. > :15:29.coming into place. I believe that is a strong commitment for both
:15:30. > :15:33.Governments to achieve that and that is one of the priority items I will
:15:34. > :15:36.be taking forward. It is worth saying as well but Brussels will
:15:37. > :15:42.have a big say on what happens to the border, more so than perhaps
:15:43. > :15:45.London, Dublin Belfast because, come whatever happens after Brexit, the
:15:46. > :15:51.negotiations, that'll be the new EU with the UK. We also know that the
:15:52. > :15:55.other priority he highlighted today was dealing with the legacy of the
:15:56. > :15:58.past. He felt this was unfinished business in Northern Ireland and his
:15:59. > :16:01.win to make this a priority to ensure that something happens on
:16:02. > :16:07.this front and to that end, he is prepared to meet victims. Will he
:16:08. > :16:08.bring fresh ideas to the table? We don't nobody will be heard on Monday
:16:09. > :16:11.on his first official visit. Plenty to come before seven,
:16:12. > :16:14.including a look ahead to this weekend's Ulster final,
:16:15. > :16:16.when Tyrone and Donegal It's a huge weekend in Londonderry
:16:17. > :16:27.with the Clipper Round the World Yachts setting sail
:16:28. > :16:29.in two days' time. A big carnival will take place
:16:30. > :16:32.tomorrow ahead of the yachts Already negotiations have started
:16:33. > :16:38.to bring the race back. But is the existing burden
:16:39. > :16:41.on ratepayers a price worth paying. Here's our North West
:16:42. > :16:51.reporter, Keiron Tourish. The crews were in a buoyant mood as
:16:52. > :16:56.they attended the prize-giving after battling the Atlantic. They enjoyed
:16:57. > :17:00.a major maritime festival. It has joined huge crowds this week.
:17:01. > :17:08.Council estimates say it will be in the region of 140,000 people. We
:17:09. > :17:14.enjoy it a lot. There's plenty of great food, a lot of different cool
:17:15. > :17:20.shops. It's really cool that a lot of different cultures, they have
:17:21. > :17:24.little shops and boutiques. We don't have anything like this in
:17:25. > :17:27.Philadelphia. It's awesome. It's wonderful, it's great. It is not for
:17:28. > :17:33.the kids to do. They went on the Ferris wheel. We were really excited
:17:34. > :17:42.about it coming back. The ten day event costs ?1.7 million but
:17:43. > :17:45.councils believe it generates up to ?6 million for the economy. Taking
:17:46. > :17:54.part has cost ?1 million. The organ is using -- the organisation that
:17:55. > :17:59.organises it says it is good for the region. It is a huge economic impact
:18:00. > :18:01.and 411 months of the year it takes the name around the world, looking
:18:02. > :18:05.for business opportunities and how we can clear jobs the future,
:18:06. > :18:12.winning investment into the city, promoting tourism and spreading the
:18:13. > :18:17.word about a place that is changing. The array of events has been
:18:18. > :18:21.diverse, making the most of the natural environment, but is the cost
:18:22. > :18:31.justified? It makes sense to do it from a tourist who point --
:18:32. > :18:34.viewpoint. It is an assistance to the promotion of Derry. There is no
:18:35. > :18:40.doubting that the Clipper races have put the city on the map, both at
:18:41. > :18:49.home and abroad, and it is certainly underlying the huge natural
:18:50. > :18:51.potential of the Foyle itself. Has delivered in terms of investment and
:18:52. > :19:07.opportunities? That will become evident in the years ahead.
:19:08. > :19:17.It has been a challenging day at the Open in Scotland. It looks like
:19:18. > :19:20.three of them will be going home early. Rory McIlroy made a promising
:19:21. > :19:28.start but his challenge is fading. It was the wet and windy start for
:19:29. > :19:34.Rory McIlroy who walked confidently to the first tee to get under way.
:19:35. > :19:45.The stands were full to see the popular Ulsterman. In the blustery
:19:46. > :19:58.conditions, he got off to a flying start. This putt was for a birdie at
:19:59. > :20:04.the second hole and he rolled and another at the sixth. When he got a
:20:05. > :20:09.birdie on the next hole, he was on a roll and found himself in share of
:20:10. > :20:15.fifth place. When he did find trouble, he's only solution. This
:20:16. > :20:21.excellent short at the iconic eighth hole. Late yesterday, his parting
:20:22. > :20:29.started to let him down, not once, but twice -- putting. He dropped
:20:30. > :20:35.three shots in four holes. Despite four birdies in the first half,
:20:36. > :20:41.Graeme McDowell looked set to miss out on the weekend. But 2011
:20:42. > :20:46.champion Darren Clarke got a birdie on his last hole to make the halfway
:20:47. > :20:53.cut thanks to this brilliant shot, encouraging form for the Ryder Cup
:20:54. > :20:59.captain. It has been a struggle lately and there are reasons for
:21:00. > :21:02.that, because of my Ryder Cup game and my priority, but there is still
:21:03. > :21:06.a golfer inside me somewhere and I want play decently. I have achieved
:21:07. > :21:10.that so far this week and I will hopefully have a good weekend.
:21:11. > :21:14.Darren Clarke is still 11 shots behind the man they have to catch.
:21:15. > :21:20.American Phil Nicholson. This Sunday sees Tyrone and Donegal
:21:21. > :21:22.renew hostilities as they meet It will be Donegal's sixth
:21:23. > :21:28.consecutive final appearance but, in contrast, Tyrone have been absent
:21:29. > :21:42.from the provincial When Tyrone and Donegal squared up
:21:43. > :21:51.to one another, we're usually guaranteed a little bit of this and
:21:52. > :21:54.a little bit of this. But for all the fine football, perhaps the
:21:55. > :21:58.injuring image from last year's encounter was both teams massing
:21:59. > :22:03.around the exit tunnel at half-time and refusing to give ground. These
:22:04. > :22:08.two are very familiar foes. It's a spacey rivalry over a number of
:22:09. > :22:12.years but in the last five years, we have met four times in the
:22:13. > :22:18.championship and eight few times in the league so it is unique. I
:22:19. > :22:21.describe it as intense because Donegal have been very good in the
:22:22. > :22:25.last number of years. We have been very good before that and I suppose
:22:26. > :22:29.they stopped our run in 2011 and ever since that, we have had
:22:30. > :22:36.difficulty beating them. That could be a concern. The results say we
:22:37. > :22:39.haven't beaten them since but I do feel that every time they beat us,
:22:40. > :22:44.we are within touching distance of them. If we get everything right, we
:22:45. > :22:49.can be. If the attribute to beat Donegal, it might very well come
:22:50. > :23:00.down to three taking. This year, Tyrone have been inconsistent at
:23:01. > :23:05.best. Donegal played Monaghan on Saturday. Not many people said
:23:06. > :23:10.anything about it but our game will be documented. Sometimes you miss
:23:11. > :23:15.free kicks and I'm happy enough with what I've scored so far this year.

:23:30. > :23:32.Cliftonville were 2-0 up in the first leg of their second
:23:33. > :23:34.round Europa League qualifying tie at Solitude last night.
:23:35. > :23:36.But their opponents, AEK Larnaca of Cyprus,
:23:37. > :23:42.came back to snatch a dramatic 3-2 win.
:23:43. > :23:48.The first hour of this tie couldn't have gone better for Cliftonville.
:23:49. > :23:51.An early lead courtesy of captain Jason McGuinness and the home
:23:52. > :23:54.side were well on top and they doubled their advantage
:23:55. > :24:05.early in the second half with this superb finish by Jay Donnelly.
:24:06. > :24:07.But all that good work was undone in a ten-minute spell
:24:08. > :24:12.where the professional Cypriot outfit took control.
:24:13. > :24:14.Larnaca's first was a simple long ball move finished by Trickovski.
:24:15. > :24:21.This time, Trickovski was the provider of a smart assist.
:24:22. > :24:25.And the Cypriot comeback was complete when Joan Thomas
:24:26. > :24:28.profited from another long ball into the box, leaving the home
:24:29. > :24:46.I'm very proud of the players. For 60 minutes we were superb. We watch
:24:47. > :24:56.on everything we talked about before the game and then it was a spell of
:24:57. > :24:57.ten minutes. We switched off which you don't do against great teams and
:24:58. > :24:59.professional outfits. The second leg in a sweltering
:25:00. > :25:19.Cyprus is next Thursday. It is not going to be as humid as it
:25:20. > :25:23.was today. We had that wet spell this morning. Behind it was a warm
:25:24. > :25:31.front with rising humidity. Quite a few places saw the low 20s. It won't
:25:32. > :25:36.be as high as that of the weekend. Through the course of the weekend,
:25:37. > :25:39.it will turn a little bit fresher. There will be some rain around but
:25:40. > :25:42.not all the time and not everywhere and most of it is going to be
:25:43. > :25:46.patchy, so the emphasis is still going to be on a lot of dry weather.
:25:47. > :25:51.If we come back to this morning, this is how we started the day, we
:25:52. > :25:59.had heavy rain and it really brought the close and misting is on to the
:26:00. > :26:03.hills -- misty conditions. We now have a cold front approaching from
:26:04. > :26:08.the northwest so it is already affecting parts of Northern Ireland.
:26:09. > :26:12.We are finishing today on a similar note how we started it, except it is
:26:13. > :26:16.warmer and more humid. The rain then clears away through the course of
:26:17. > :26:19.the night. At least the second half of the night promises some drier
:26:20. > :26:25.weather and by that stage, the committee will be following away, so
:26:26. > :26:30.temperatures in places around 910 Celsius, probably quite comfortable
:26:31. > :26:33.for sleeping. Tomorrow, we could see some rain, not everywhere and
:26:34. > :26:38.probably later in the day saw many of us will get away from dry weather
:26:39. > :26:43.-- getaway with dry weather. If element of cloud but I think we will
:26:44. > :26:51.see it thinning as we go through the day, more likely into accounts...
:26:52. > :26:55.County Antrim. Temperatures are not bad for the time of year, average,
:26:56. > :26:58.but it will feel fresher towards the north where there is a breeze and we
:26:59. > :27:03.are rightly to see patchy rain hedging in later in the day. Once it
:27:04. > :27:09.sets in, we could see it hanging about northern areas. Similar
:27:10. > :27:14.temperatures to tonight, around nine or 10 Celsius and then as we go into
:27:15. > :27:18.Sunday, it looked as though it will get into a damp start in the north
:27:19. > :27:23.but it will dry up from the south so good news if you're heading to the
:27:24. > :27:25.Tyrone, Donegal match, it looks mainly dry and should brighten up
:27:26. > :27:26.with temperatures rising into next week.
:27:27. > :27:36.We will have news updates tomorrow and on Sunday as well.
