Concern for an Irish citizen caught up in last night's

Holiday-makers from Northern Ireland is great deterrent on the streets of

:00:25.:00:38.

the French city. We crossed the road and everybody started shouting and

running, people holding their children and crying. I just grabbed

Shock too from football fans who were in Nice for the Euros Also

on the programme: The new Secretary of State says he plans to get

:00:53.:00:55.

the best deal possible for Northern Ireland in the Brexit

:00:56.:00:58.

This week's Foyle Maritime festival has

:00:59.:01:01.

brought in record crowds - but what sort of money

:01:02.:01:04.

It's been a testing second round at the Open for Rory McIlroy -

:01:05.:01:10.

And it'll be a little bit fresher this weekend but there should be

:01:11.:01:16.

The promenade in a Nice is familiar to us because of the recent football

:01:17.:01:37.

championship and it will now be remembered as a scene of chaos. 84

:01:38.:01:43.

summer evening in Nice. Minutes later, Paddy Mullen

:02:09.:02:10.

from County Londonderry and his girlfriend Emma were running

:02:11.:02:13.

for their lives with thousands I looked up the street and I saw

:02:14.:02:31.

this lorry coming. The street was jam-packed, the streets were closed

:02:32.:02:38.

and this lorry just mounted the kerb and all you could hear was banging,

:02:39.:02:44.

shouting and screaming. I've never seen anything like it in all my life

:02:45.:02:47.

and I probably will never again. It was the softest of

:02:48.:02:52.

targets for an attack - families with children,

:02:53.:02:54.

locals and tourists packed tightly together on the Promenade as a man

:02:55.:02:56.

drove a 20-tonne lorry directly at the crowd, killing

indiscriminately. Belfast businessman

Sunil Sharma was eating People were jumping into the

terraces, there was pandemonium on the streets, people running up and

down. We did know what was going on until we were led to believe it was

:03:21.:03:22.

a terrorist attack. With direct flights from Belfast

:03:23.:03:24.

and Dublin, Nice is a popular destination for holiday-makers

sudden we heard bangs and everybody started running and shouting,

screaming, holding their children and crying. I just grabbed our

:03:49.:03:51.

children and we just started running, following the crowd. We

:03:52.:03:53.

were all terrified. The Irish Government says it's

concerned that an Irish man has been One British national

who was on the beach last night when the attack happened says

:04:07.:04:11.

the city is safe. It hasn't put me off staying here on

:04:12.:04:23.

holiday. We actually until dates and I'm not any plans to go home early.

:04:24.:04:28.

I can say for anyone coming out here, don't let it put you off.

:04:29.:04:31.

There is a strong police presence here and they're taking every

:04:32.:04:32.

precaution they can. France has declared three days

:04:33.:04:33.

of national mourning, as police and security services

:04:34.:04:35.

begin the task of establishing why - and how - this attack

:04:36.:04:38.

was able to take place. In the past hour, a fight from Nice

:04:39.:04:56.

has arrived in Dublin. Holiday-makers told our

:04:57.:05:01.

correspondent what they had seen. We saw a white truck drive past,

:05:02.:05:07.

knocking people down. It was chaos. People were running left, right and

:05:08.:05:13.

centre, were running into cafes, just devastation. I turned and

:05:14.:05:21.

within 20 yards, the truck flew by. I said to my wife, that is

:05:22.:05:25.

travelling at a terrible speed. There are thousands of people and

:05:26.:05:30.

then I looked and there were just bodies, a trail of bodies.

:05:31.:05:33.

French people here watched in horror as the reality of what happened

:05:34.:05:36.

The 14th of July, normally a night to celebrate

:05:37.:05:41.

France's national unity, turned into a night of mourning.

:05:42.:05:43.

It was hard to focus at work today for French chefs at la

:05:44.:05:50.

Bastille Restaurant in Belfast, thoughts were never far from home.

:05:51.:05:56.

Details of the Nice attack came after Emilien and Robin

:05:57.:05:59.

We were celebrating the national day here. We were all happy and after we

:06:00.:06:21.

went back home, we were really shocked. After Charlie Hebdo and

:06:22.:06:34.

Bataclan, I don't understand. These men say they feel safer

:06:35.:06:35.

in Northern Ireland and want It can happen everywhere. We don't

:06:36.:06:47.

know when. A lot of cities, so it could happen anywhere. We don't know

:06:48.:06:52.

when and where, that's scary. French chef Jean-Christophe Novelli,

:06:53.:06:56.

who was at the Foyle Maritime Festival in Londonderry,

:06:57.:06:59.

said he was shocked It's sad that we have two end up

:07:00.:07:11.

having so many people suffering and it has to be stopped very soon.

:07:12.:07:14.

At St Ann's cathedral in Belfast, 84 candles were lit

:07:15.:07:17.

To come into this space and know that there are other people praying

:07:18.:07:27.

and that they are being supported and encouraged and helped in that

:07:28.:07:40.

way. I think that is what we can do here, we are praying with them and

:07:41.:07:45.

for them. 84 candles were lit for the 84th lives lost.

:07:46.:07:49.

This time last month, more than 10,000 Northern Ireland

:07:50.:07:52.

football fans were in Nice for the Euros.

:07:53.:07:56.

Today, many of those fans - and the players - have been

:07:57.:07:58.

sending their condolences to the people of Nice.

:07:59.:08:00.

There were security fears during the Euros but of all the cities that

:08:01.:08:13.

Northern Ireland visited, Nice was by far the most relaxed. 400 mails

:08:14.:08:19.

south of Paris beside a Mediterranean, the fans loved it --

:08:20.:08:24.

miles. Every evening, they gathered on the seafront promenade. They were

:08:25.:08:31.

terror struck last night. 84 people have been killed and scores injured

:08:32.:08:35.

including a small number of British people after a lorry was driven at

:08:36.:08:40.

speed through Nice. Gary McAllister is one of the many fans who was in

:08:41.:08:46.

the city last month. Since we returned from France, everybody has

:08:47.:08:48.

been speaking about what a great time they had in Nice and it is such

:08:49.:08:54.

a beautiful city has had this inflicted upon it. One of my

:08:55.:08:57.

colleagues told me he was due to attend a social event tomorrow and

:08:58.:09:01.

he has decided not to go because he just feels so gutted by what he is

:09:02.:09:08.

saying on his television because you contrast the happy memories we have

:09:09.:09:12.

of the city with what has happened there in the last 24 hours. Social

:09:13.:09:16.

media, fans have been leaving tributes. One said, hard to believe

:09:17.:09:21.

this was a month ago. Pray for Nice. Northern Ireland players send their

:09:22.:09:27.

condolences and captain Stephen Davis tweeted this picture. On

:09:28.:09:34.

behalf of the Irish football Association, we spend our

:09:35.:09:38.

condolences to those affected -- we send our condolences, and to the

:09:39.:09:44.

city for such a tragedy to happen on the doorstep. For everyone who was

:09:45.:09:48.

in Nice last month, the enormity of the tragedy is still hard to take

in. BBC Northern Ireland journalist

Andy Pag is in Nice and witnessed What's new details have emerged

:09:53.:10:07.

during the day about the attack? Last night was a confused picture

:10:08.:10:11.

but the fog of confusion has been clearing today so new details have

:10:12.:10:15.

emerged. We have then there are 50 people still very badly injured.

:10:16.:10:21.

Francois Hollande spoke about them hanging between life and death. Some

:10:22.:10:28.

of them adding this hospital -- are in this hospital, some are in

:10:29.:10:31.

another hospital on the other side of town. We have also learned more

:10:32.:10:35.

about the crime itself. There are three areas where the crowd were

:10:36.:10:41.

particularly packed including one area in front of a jazz band that

:10:42.:10:46.

stock up after the fireworks and in those three areas, those were the

:10:47.:10:52.

casualties were the highest. We have also learned about the criminal. The

:10:53.:10:55.

police are still not confirming the suspect they're looking at but the

:10:56.:11:00.

profile of the man whose house is searched today suggests that perhaps

:11:01.:11:03.

this crime is of a different mould to that of the parasite tax.

:11:04.:11:05.

What are your thoughts and the mood of others in Nice this evening?

:11:06.:11:13.

-- that of the Paris attacks. I got the chance to look around. At seven

:11:14.:11:26.

o'clock, you wouldn't know anything had happened. The street sweepers

:11:27.:11:30.

were out, people were laying out sunbeds, and it was almost like a

:11:31.:11:35.

denial, like the obscenity of what happened the night before was so big

:11:36.:11:37.

that people just could not accept it. People have been coming down to

:11:38.:11:43.

this enormous area, the Promenade des Anglais, just to bear witness

:11:44.:11:47.

and make sense of what has happened so the mood has slowly been changing

:11:48.:11:51.

from one of denial to moving into trying to make sense and understand

:11:52.:11:54.

what happened. The police are treating

:11:55.:11:57.

the death of a woman in Newtownards as suspicious,

:11:58.:11:59.

and are appealing for information. The body of 33-year-old

as the new Secretary of State, James Brokenshire has been speaking

:12:57.:12:59.

about his role and He says he plans to get the best

deal possible for Northern Ireland in the Brexit negotiations

:13:02.:13:06.

and spoke about his hope not to have a new hard border

with the Republic. Our political correspondent

:13:10.:13:11.

Enda McClafferty is with me. What did we learn today about this

:13:12.:13:22.

new Secretary of State? He is certainly up the challenge, that's

:13:23.:13:25.

for sure, and he started his first day on the job at Buckingham Palace

:13:26.:13:28.

picking up his seal of office from the Queen and come Monday, he will

:13:29.:13:32.

be picking up his keys from the castle at Hillsborough. In between,

:13:33.:13:37.

he will be getting briefed on the many challenges that lie ahead in

:13:38.:13:40.

his new role, not least the following from Brexit and what it

:13:41.:13:45.

will mean for Northern Ireland. Unlike his dataset, James

:13:46.:13:51.

Brokenshire footage to remain in the EU -- unlike his predecessor. But we

:13:52.:13:55.

now have to get on with the decision and make the best of it. The public

:13:56.:14:00.

have sent a clear message that they want to see the United Kingdom

:14:01.:14:03.

outside of the European Union. I think it is important that we get on

:14:04.:14:08.

with that task and I will be providing that clear voice for

:14:09.:14:10.

Northern Ireland within the Government to set out how we get the

:14:11.:14:17.

best possible outcome and working with the Executive. I've spoken to

:14:18.:14:19.

the First Minister and Deputy First Minister already and they want to

:14:20.:14:25.

continue those discussions. Border controls and a very important issue

:14:26.:14:31.

here. What did he say about that? As a man who used to be in charge of

:14:32.:14:34.

the Home Office, he knows about borders and he our -- he is adamant

:14:35.:14:41.

they will be no hard border between here and the Republic of Ireland but

:14:42.:14:47.

we should not forget that Theresa-mac a was here not long ago

:14:48.:14:54.

telling us that in the event of a Brexit Ford, the hard border would

:14:55.:14:57.

return, so the new Secretary of State was already rolling back from

:14:58.:15:03.

that warning -- Brexit fought Government vote. I've already had

:15:04.:15:10.

conversations with Frances Fitzgerald, the Irish interior

:15:11.:15:16.

Minister, to really emphasise the need for good, close collaboration

:15:17.:15:20.

and working so that we can insure we are not seeing the return of borders

:15:21.:15:25.

coming into place. I believe that is a strong commitment for both

:15:26.:15:29.

Governments to achieve that and that is one of the priority items I will

:15:30.:15:33.

be taking forward. It is worth saying as well but Brussels will

:15:34.:15:36.

have a big say on what happens to the border, more so than perhaps

:15:37.:15:42.

London, Dublin Belfast because, come whatever happens after Brexit, the

:15:43.:15:45.

negotiations, that'll be the new EU with the UK. We also know that the

:15:46.:15:51.

other priority he highlighted today was dealing with the legacy of the

:15:52.:15:55.

past. He felt this was unfinished business in Northern Ireland and his

:15:56.:15:58.

win to make this a priority to ensure that something happens on

:15:59.:16:01.

this front and to that end, he is prepared to meet victims. Will he

:16:02.:16:07.

bring fresh ideas to the table? We don't nobody will be heard on Monday

:16:08.:16:08.

on his first official visit. Plenty to come before seven,

:16:09.:16:11.

including a look ahead to this weekend's Ulster final,

:16:12.:16:14.

when Tyrone and Donegal It's a huge weekend in Londonderry

with the Clipper Round the World Yachts setting sail

:16:17.:16:27.

in two days' time. A big carnival will take place

:16:28.:16:29.

tomorrow ahead of the yachts Already negotiations have started

:16:30.:16:32.

to bring the race back. But is the existing burden

:16:33.:16:38.

on ratepayers a price worth paying. Here's our North West

:16:39.:16:41.

reporter, Keiron Tourish. The crews were in a buoyant mood as

:16:42.:16:51.

they attended the prize-giving after battling the Atlantic. They enjoyed

:16:52.:16:56.

a major maritime festival. It has joined huge crowds this week.

:16:57.:17:00.

Council estimates say it will be in the region of 140,000 people. We

:17:01.:17:08.

enjoy it a lot. There's plenty of great food, a lot of different cool

:17:09.:17:14.

shops. It's really cool that a lot of different cultures, they have

:17:15.:17:20.

little shops and boutiques. We don't have anything like this in

:17:21.:17:24.

Philadelphia. It's awesome. It's wonderful, it's great. It is not for

:17:25.:17:27.

the kids to do. They went on the Ferris wheel. We were really excited

:17:28.:17:33.

about it coming back. The ten day event costs ?1.7 million but

:17:34.:17:42.

councils believe it generates up to ?6 million for the economy. Taking

:17:43.:17:45.

part has cost ?1 million. The organ is using -- the organisation that

:17:46.:17:54.

organises it says it is good for the region. It is a huge economic impact

:17:55.:17:59.

and 411 months of the year it takes the name around the world, looking

:18:00.:18:01.

for business opportunities and how we can clear jobs the future,

:18:02.:18:05.

winning investment into the city, promoting tourism and spreading the

:18:06.:18:12.

word about a place that is changing. The array of events has been

:18:13.:18:17.

diverse, making the most of the natural environment, but is the cost

:18:18.:18:21.

justified? It makes sense to do it from a tourist who point --

:18:22.:18:31.

viewpoint. It is an assistance to the promotion of Derry. There is no

:18:32.:18:34.

doubting that the Clipper races have put the city on the map, both at

:18:35.:18:40.

home and abroad, and it is certainly underlying the huge natural

:18:41.:18:49.

potential of the Foyle itself. Has delivered in terms of investment and

:18:50.:18:51.

opportunities? That will become evident in the years ahead.

:18:52.:19:07.

It has been a challenging day at the Open in Scotland. It looks like

:19:08.:19:17.

three of them will be going home early. Rory McIlroy made a promising

:19:18.:19:20.

start but his challenge is fading. It was the wet and windy start for

:19:21.:19:28.

Rory McIlroy who walked confidently to the first tee to get under way.

:19:29.:19:34.

The stands were full to see the popular Ulsterman. In the blustery

:19:35.:19:45.

conditions, he got off to a flying start. This putt was for a birdie at

:19:46.:19:58.

the second hole and he rolled and another at the sixth. When he got a

:19:59.:20:04.

birdie on the next hole, he was on a roll and found himself in share of

:20:05.:20:09.

fifth place. When he did find trouble, he's only solution. This

:20:10.:20:15.

excellent short at the iconic eighth hole. Late yesterday, his parting

:20:16.:20:21.

started to let him down, not once, but twice -- putting. He dropped

:20:22.:20:29.

three shots in four holes. Despite four birdies in the first half,

:20:30.:20:35.

Graeme McDowell looked set to miss out on the weekend. But 2011

:20:36.:20:41.

champion Darren Clarke got a birdie on his last hole to make the halfway

:20:42.:20:46.

cut thanks to this brilliant shot, encouraging form for the Ryder Cup

:20:47.:20:53.

captain. It has been a struggle lately and there are reasons for

:20:54.:20:59.

that, because of my Ryder Cup game and my priority, but there is still

:21:00.:21:02.

a golfer inside me somewhere and I want play decently. I have achieved

:21:03.:21:06.

that so far this week and I will hopefully have a good weekend.

:21:07.:21:10.

Darren Clarke is still 11 shots behind the man they have to catch.

American Phil Nicholson. This Sunday sees Tyrone and Donegal

:21:15.:21:20.

renew hostilities as they meet It will be Donegal's sixth

:21:21.:21:22.

consecutive final appearance but, in contrast, Tyrone have been absent

:21:23.:21:28.

from the provincial When Tyrone and Donegal squared up

:21:29.:21:42.

to one another, we're usually guaranteed a little bit of this and

:21:43.:21:51.

a little bit of this. But for all the fine football, perhaps the

:21:52.:21:54.

injuring image from last year's encounter was both teams massing

:21:55.:21:58.

around the exit tunnel at half-time and refusing to give ground. These

:21:59.:22:03.

two are very familiar foes. It's a spacey rivalry over a number of

:22:04.:22:08.

years but in the last five years, we have met four times in the

:22:09.:22:12.

championship and eight few times in the league so it is unique. I

:22:13.:22:18.

describe it as intense because Donegal have been very good in the

:22:19.:22:21.

last number of years. We have been very good before that and I suppose

:22:22.:22:25.

they stopped our run in 2011 and ever since that, we have had

:22:26.:22:29.

difficulty beating them. That could be a concern. The results say we

:22:30.:22:36.

haven't beaten them since but I do feel that every time they beat us,

:22:37.:22:39.

we are within touching distance of them. If we get everything right, we

:22:40.:22:44.

can be. If the attribute to beat Donegal, it might very well come

:22:45.:22:49.

down to three taking. This year, Tyrone have been inconsistent at

:22:50.:23:00.

best. Donegal played Monaghan on Saturday. Not many people said

:23:01.:23:05.

anything about it but our game will be documented. Sometimes you miss

:23:06.:23:10.

free kicks and I'm happy enough with what I've scored so far this year.

Cliftonville were 2-0 up in the first leg of their second

:23:30.:23:32.

round Europa League qualifying tie at Solitude last night.

:23:33.:23:34.

But their opponents, AEK Larnaca of Cyprus,

:23:35.:23:36.

came back to snatch a dramatic 3-2 win.

:23:37.:23:42.

The first hour of this tie couldn't have gone better for Cliftonville.

:23:43.:23:48.

side were well on top and they doubled their advantage

:23:52.:23:54.

early in the second half with this superb finish by Jay Donnelly.

:23:55.:24:05.

But all that good work was undone in a ten-minute spell

:24:06.:24:07.

where the professional Cypriot outfit took control.

:24:08.:24:12.

Larnaca's first was a simple long ball move finished by Trickovski.

:24:13.:24:14.

This time, Trickovski was the provider of a smart assist.

:24:15.:24:21.

And the Cypriot comeback was complete when Joan Thomas

:24:22.:24:25.

profited from another long ball into the box, leaving the home

:24:26.:24:28.

I'm very proud of the players. For 60 minutes we were superb. We watch

:24:29.:24:46.

on everything we talked about before the game and then it was a spell of

:24:47.:24:56.

ten minutes. We switched off which you don't do against great teams and

:24:57.:24:57.

professional outfits. The second leg in a sweltering

:24:58.:24:59.

Cyprus is next Thursday. It is not going to be as humid as it

:25:00.:25:19.

was today. We had that wet spell this morning. Behind it was a warm

:25:20.:25:23.

front with rising humidity. Quite a few places saw the low 20s. It won't

:25:24.:25:31.

be as high as that of the weekend. Through the course of the weekend,

:25:32.:25:36.

it will turn a little bit fresher. There will be some rain around but

:25:37.:25:39.

not all the time and not everywhere and most of it is going to be

:25:40.:25:42.

patchy, so the emphasis is still going to be on a lot of dry weather.

:25:43.:25:46.

If we come back to this morning, this is how we started the day, we

:25:47.:25:51.

had heavy rain and it really brought the close and misting is on to the

:25:52.:25:59.

hills -- misty conditions. We now have a cold front approaching from

:26:00.:26:03.

the northwest so it is already affecting parts of Northern Ireland.

:26:04.:26:08.

We are finishing today on a similar note how we started it, except it is

:26:09.:26:12.

warmer and more humid. The rain then clears away through the course of

:26:13.:26:16.

the night. At least the second half of the night promises some drier

:26:17.:26:19.

weather and by that stage, the committee will be following away, so

:26:20.:26:25.

temperatures in places around 910 Celsius, probably quite comfortable

:26:26.:26:30.

for sleeping. Tomorrow, we could see some rain, not everywhere and

:26:31.:26:33.

probably later in the day saw many of us will get away from dry weather

:26:34.:26:38.

-- getaway with dry weather. If element of cloud but I think we will

:26:39.:26:43.

see it thinning as we go through the day, more likely into accounts...

:26:44.:26:51.

County Antrim. Temperatures are not bad for the time of year, average,

:26:52.:26:55.

but it will feel fresher towards the north where there is a breeze and we

:26:56.:26:58.

are rightly to see patchy rain hedging in later in the day. Once it

:26:59.:27:03.

sets in, we could see it hanging about northern areas. Similar

:27:04.:27:09.

temperatures to tonight, around nine or 10 Celsius and then as we go into

:27:10.:27:14.

Sunday, it looked as though it will get into a damp start in the north

:27:15.:27:18.

but it will dry up from the south so good news if you're heading to the

:27:19.:27:23.

Tyrone, Donegal match, it looks mainly dry and should brighten up

:27:24.:27:25.

with temperatures rising into next week.

:27:26.:27:26.

We will have news updates tomorrow and on Sunday as well.
