:00:40. > :00:51.A West Belfast councillor says it was a horrendous incident.
:00:52. > :01:01.People are obviously shocked about serious incident. It should be a
:01:02. > :01:07.safe place for young and old alike and this is obviously very traumatic
:01:08. > :01:09.for the individual concerned. I think people are in shock by it.
:01:10. > :01:12.Police have thanked members of the community for their help

:01:28. > :01:29.should be considered in discussions on Brexit.
:01:30. > :01:32.Nationalists have called for such a poll after a majority

:01:45. > :01:50.The discussions and negotiations that take place over the next period

:02:25. > :02:28.Security issues at home no longer dominate the in-trays

:03:02. > :03:07.possible. But the Prime Minister said last week she was willing to

:03:12. > :03:14.mean both Scotland and Northern Ireland could remain in while the
:03:15. > :03:17.rest of the country leaves? It is difficult to see how
:03:18. > :03:19.that could work. We need to focus on the best

:03:24. > :03:35.of the United Kingdom outside Those words were quickly dismissed
:03:36. > :03:45.by the man leading the fight to keep this part of the country as part of
:03:46. > :03:52.the EU? The last time he stood here... He got only 3000 votes. He
:03:53. > :04:05.does not represent anybody here. We see our future in Europe. Sinn Fein
:04:06. > :04:08.has welcomed comments by the Fianna Fail leader in that it could
:04:09. > :04:13.possibly bring about a new border poll. But the new man at the NIU
:04:14. > :04:16.ruled that I think there is a clear
:04:17. > :04:18.constitutional settlement It is also clear to me that opinion
:04:19. > :04:22.does not support a change. Clearly, we act on the basis
:04:23. > :04:25.of consent, but I strongly believe in the union,
:04:26. > :04:27.the strength of the countries Even though he wanted
:04:28. > :04:33.to remain in the EU, the message from the new Secretary
:04:34. > :04:36.of State is that it is time for everyone to get together
:04:37. > :04:38.and back decision to leave. Northern Ireland MPs have taken part
:04:39. > :04:47.in tonight's House of Commons debate on whether the Government should
:04:48. > :04:50.renew the UK's Trident nuclear A short time ago the House voted
:04:51. > :04:57.to approve the measure Unionist and nationalist MPs
:04:58. > :05:11.were on opposite sides Can I congratulate the Prime
:05:12. > :05:14.Minister on her sure-footedness in bringing the motion before the house
:05:15. > :05:18.and the blast allowing Parliament in this session to make a decision? We
:05:19. > :05:27.will proudly stand behind the Government -- and at last. Could I
:05:28. > :05:30.encourage the Scottish nationalists that if they don't want to lose jobs
:05:31. > :05:34.in Scotland they will be happily taken in Northern Ireland? I have
:05:35. > :05:40.yet to hear any reason why nuclear were make Britain safer than states
:05:41. > :05:45.like Germany, Canada or Japan who are not armed. There is no genuine
:05:46. > :05:48.security argument for the UK to spend these vast sums of money on
:05:49. > :05:51.weapons that can never be used. A priest in Londonderry has said no

:05:59. > :06:01.been playing when he ran out onto the road at his home
:06:02. > :06:03.in the Brandywell area. Fr Eamon Graham said the boy's
:06:04. > :06:09.family were heartbroken. They described him as somebody
:06:10. > :06:11.who had turned their lives round in the past two years,
:06:12. > :06:15.the amount of good that he had done, They said he was full of devilment
:06:16. > :06:21.and you couldn't get His mummy said, even if she
:06:22. > :06:25.chastised him, he just would turn around and say,
:06:26. > :06:28."I love you," you know, And he just seemed to be, I suppose,
:06:29. > :06:34.a typical two-year-old, full of life, full of goodness,
:06:35. > :06:38.full of joy. A man who was injured

:07:18. > :07:20.Hard-working, kept his head down. There is genuine sorrow in the local
:07:21. > :07:20.community. A 70-year-old disabled woman says
:07:21. > :07:24.she has no idea why shots were fired Vera Smyth has lived in the area
:07:25. > :07:28.for almost 50 years. It's thought up to five shots
:07:29. > :07:34.were fired at this house, shattering not just the double
:07:35. > :07:36.glazing but the 70-year-old One of her sons and his
:07:37. > :07:42.partner were with her All of a sudden, we heard
:07:43. > :07:46.a bang, bang, bang. I had heard shots before but not
:07:47. > :07:56.as close as they were last night. It frightened the life
:07:57. > :08:10.came out of me. You can see the television took one
:08:11. > :08:15.of the bullets and the wall too. It was just a warning shot
:08:16. > :08:17.because it is very I think it was a drive-by
:08:18. > :08:23.or something because if they had stood outside the door,
:08:24. > :08:45.they would have been more accurate. See says despite what has happened
:08:46. > :08:47.she won't be leaving from her home. Why should I move? We have got good
:08:48. > :08:50.neighbours in this district. The police also say they don't know
:08:51. > :08:53.why she was attacked. The owner of a dog seized by council
:08:54. > :08:59.wardens says he fears for its life. He believes his dog,
:09:00. > :09:02.called Hank, is a Labrador But Belfast City Council
:09:03. > :09:08.is assessing the dog to see if it could be partly pitbull -
:09:09. > :09:11.considered by law to be dangerous. Rick Faragher's report begins
:09:12. > :09:14.with the dog's owner. Hank is a Staffordshire
:09:15. > :09:15.Labrador cross. We have had time since he went he

:09:32. > :09:35.numerous times. He has seen public trainers

:09:41. > :09:46.warrants from Belfast City Council. A warden had entered his home
:09:47. > :09:50.and taken Hank away. He says Hank has never shown
:09:51. > :09:53.signs of aggression. He is very lazy, he sits
:09:54. > :09:59.on my bed 90% of the day. He wants to play tug-of-war
:10:00. > :10:06.and go out for walks. This is where Hank calls home
:10:07. > :10:09.and where he was taken from last week, on suspicion of being one
:10:10. > :10:12.of the four illegal dog breeds If the authorities decide
:10:13. > :10:17.he belongs on this list, In a statement, Belfast City Council
:10:18. > :10:24.say that Hank has been taken away for testing but no decision has been
:10:25. > :10:27.made in relation to this case. They also say that Hank
:10:28. > :10:32.is being well looked They add that a decision
:10:33. > :10:36.whether a dog is deemed illegal is based on the animal's
:10:37. > :10:41.physical and temperament. Hank has been taken from his home
:10:42. > :10:46.and put in kennels somewhere. He is also going to be put
:10:47. > :10:53.through a barrage of tests to ascertain if he is
:10:54. > :10:55.an aggressive type dog. He has been been put
:10:56. > :11:00.through stressful situations. To think he could die

:11:26. > :11:28.at Whiterock's beach. The RNLI has appealed to the public
:11:29. > :11:40.to take care on the coastline. It is fantastic to see people using
:11:41. > :11:44.the beaches with the weather but there are dangers around the ocean
:11:45. > :11:49.and we ask that people feel free to ask any questions they have about
:11:50. > :11:53.the ocean and beach do lifeguards who are experts. Any questions you
:11:54. > :11:54.have, if it keeps you safe, that is what we want.
:11:55. > :11:59.The weather forecast now, with Angie Philips.
:12:00. > :12:07.Good evening. We have some humid air and that he'd will be with us
:12:08. > :12:12.tomorrow. Warm sunshine once again. From mid week onwards it will
:12:13. > :12:16.change. A little bit fresher but also a bit showery. Mainly dry for
:12:17. > :12:23.tonight and a very muggy night to come. Could be uncomfortable for
:12:24. > :12:30.sleeping. We are also expecting some mist and sea fog in two parts of the
:12:31. > :12:33.down and Antrim coast. Tomorrow is some hot spells of sunshine,
:12:34. > :12:42.possibly even hotter than today. Some downpours like later. The East
:12:43. > :12:46.Coast could take a bit of the morning for the most and far too
:12:47. > :12:51.clear. Pretty much the same across the rest of Britain and Ireland.
:12:52. > :12:57.Sunshine around. Very hot in the south. Quite stifling. Temperatures
:12:58. > :13:02.into the high 20s as far north as southern Scotland. For Northern
:13:03. > :13:07.Ireland some hot sunshine, along the east coast, temperatures may be in
:13:08. > :13:11.the low 20s but mid to high 20s inland and towards the west we could
:13:12. > :13:16.see 27. Then we get those downpours into the West later in the afternoon
:13:17. > :13:19.and some will edge East through the evening. Not all parts catch them
:13:20. > :13:24.but you will certainly know when they do. A warning that rain is in
:13:25. > :13:30.place. Likely to be some torrential rain and maybe even some localised
:13:31. > :13:32.flash flooding. It turns pressure beyond the. That is all, good night.
