:07:12. > :07:14.to be shut between Stewart's Place and Priory Park because of
:07:15. > :07:20.the threat posed by this building. The Health Minister says

:07:25. > :07:29.after receiving the finished report on the modernisation of the system
:07:30. > :07:38.from an expert panel. Well we've had a good amount
:07:39. > :07:41.of sunshine this week, but of course that's not
:07:42. > :07:43.always the case. Today we were told that everyone
:07:44. > :07:46.should consider taking vitamin D supplements
:07:47. > :07:47.in the autumn and winter. As David Maxwell reports,
:07:48. > :07:49.health officials are concerned that we aren't getting enough of it
:07:50. > :07:54.in our diet. When it appears, we
:07:55. > :07:56.make the most of it. The sunshine doesn't only feel good
:07:57. > :08:00.- it actually has health benefits because it's how we get most
:08:01. > :08:04.of our vitamin D, the vitamin that helps us maintain healthy
:08:05. > :08:08.bones, teeth and muscles. Today we got a vitamin D boost,
:08:09. > :08:14.but it isn't always like this. If you are exposed on a sunny day
:08:15. > :08:18.during the summer in Northern Ireland to sunlight for about ten
:08:19. > :08:21.minutes, that should be enough vitamins the to see
:08:22. > :08:25.you through for two or three months, so the problem
:08:26. > :08:29.is during the winter months when we don't get enough sunshine
:08:30. > :08:32.here, those stockpiles We can get some vitamin D
:08:33. > :08:37.through eating foods But not nearly as much
:08:38. > :08:45.as we get from the sun. We're always being told
:08:46. > :08:47.to apply this stuff but putting suncream
:08:48. > :08:49.on actually prevents us We do need limited exposure
:08:50. > :08:53.to the sun but that can be Some experts suggest you should go
:08:54. > :09:00.into the sunlight for ten or 15 minutes before
:09:01. > :09:04.you apply sun protection. It is important you apply enough
:09:05. > :09:07.to make sure you don't get burnt and increase your
:09:08. > :09:24.risk of skin cancer. The Government says another way to
:09:25. > :09:31.get the recommended amount is through supplements. What about
:09:32. > :09:36.advice be heeded? It is a tricky, especially with fussy eaters. I
:09:37. > :09:41.think keeping them out all year round without sun block is probably
:09:42. > :09:44.the way I would go. These two would take vitamins every day, and as I'm
:09:45. > :09:52.pregnant, I will take vitamins as well. I think it is needed. There is
:09:53. > :09:55.not enough sunshine here. Supplements are rarely recommended
:09:56. > :10:00.for pregnant women and children, the big change today though is that we
:10:01. > :10:01.all need to consider taking them, bar interrupts it changed our
:10:02. > :10:11.climate. -- bar age at exchange. A woman from Belfast has been
:10:12. > :10:13.reunited with a family heirloom Medical student Katie Patterson lost
:10:14. > :10:17.a ?10,000 ring handed down from her grandmother
:10:18. > :10:19.while swimming in Majorca. A diver using a specialist metal
:10:20. > :10:29.detector managed to pick the ring It sounds ridiculous, but I
:10:30. > :10:33.genuinely felt at piece of my heart had gone missing. I appreciated that
:10:34. > :10:39.ring everyday and are reminded me of the wonderful memories I have all
:10:40. > :10:43.grandmother. I saw this flash, this sparkle. I cleared the sand away and
:10:44. > :10:49.there it was. It was flashing away from the sunlight. Then he said,

:12:02. > :12:05.through the afternoon, they are continuing for a time this evening,
:12:06. > :12:08.some could be thundery and lead to localised surface water and
:12:09. > :12:14.flooding. There is a warning in place. We'll get some showers
:12:15. > :12:18.pushing east. They will be lighter and more scattered. The West
:12:19. > :12:26.gradually gets drier through the night. It will be mild and muggy
:12:27. > :12:30.with temperatures between 12-14d. Tomorrow, a better day. Lots of dry
:12:31. > :12:36.weather. One or two showers in the east, but will move away. It should
:12:37. > :12:41.brighten through the morning. Those showers head east to parts of

:12:47. > :12:54.south-east of England, it will be warm and humid still, 25-26d.
:12:55. > :12:57.Fresher towards the north and west. But for Ireland and Northern
:12:58. > :13:05.Ireland, it is a mainly dry afternoon. One or two rogue showers,
:13:06. > :13:09.but the emphasis is on dry weather. There will be cloud, but thin enough
:13:10. > :13:15.to allow brightness through. There should be highs of 19-20d, fairly
:13:16. > :13:20.pleasant but with light won. Into the weekend, a couple of weather
