The Prime Minister says there will be no return

:00:07.:00:09.

to the borders of the past once the UK leaves the European Union.

:00:10.:00:12.

Theresa May was speaking after meeting the first and deputy

:00:13.:00:15.

first ministers at Stormont Castle during her first visit here

:00:16.:00:17.

Our political correspondent Gareth Gordon has more.

:00:18.:00:30.

Six weeks after she last visited Northern Ireland hoping to persuade

:00:31.:00:37.

people to remain in the EU Theresa May was back because her aside last.

:00:38.:00:42.

The political turmoil that followed has been avoided here but the

:00:43.:00:47.

distance between the leaders at Stormont could yet lead to problems.

:00:48.:00:52.

The new Prime Minister met them together and then separately before

:00:53.:00:56.

ending the visit with a short statement of which one journalist

:00:57.:01:00.

and one question was allowed. During the campaign you said it would be

:01:01.:01:04.

inconceivable that there would be no changes to the border in event of

:01:05.:01:08.

Brexit what do you now see the changes as being, where in your mind

:01:09.:01:13.

is the border, is it between the Republic and the north of the North

:01:14.:01:17.

and the rest of the UK? What is calling to happen when the UK leads

:01:18.:01:22.

the European Union is that he Northern Ireland will have a border

:01:23.:01:26.

with the Republic of Ireland which will remember -- remain a member of

:01:27.:01:33.

the week. We have had a common travel area before either country

:01:34.:01:36.

was a member of the European Union and no one wants to return to the

:01:37.:01:39.

borders of the past, what we do want to do is find a way through this

:01:40.:01:44.

that will work develop a practical solution as part of the work that we

:01:45.:01:52.

are doing to make a success of the UK leaving the EU and that we come

:01:53.:01:55.

out of this with the deal in the best interests of the whole of the

:01:56.:02:00.

UK. This man took the opportunity to raise the stakes in the local

:02:01.:02:05.

difficulty over Brexit. We made it clear on the issue of Brexit, Arlene

:02:06.:02:14.

Foster and I are agreed on things related to Fresh Tart and we will

:02:15.:02:20.

continue to do it but on the issue of Brexit, I speak for the people of

:02:21.:02:24.

the North and the people of the North who are Unionist and we have

:02:25.:02:31.

made it clear that they see their future in Europe. How would his

:02:32.:02:35.

partner in government take that, not well. We know that there was an

:02:36.:02:41.

election in May and the DUP as a result of that had 38 members and he

:02:42.:02:47.

has 28 members and I think we jointly speak for the people of

:02:48.:02:51.

Northern Ireland and they speak for the Unionist majority and he speaks

:02:52.:02:56.

for the nationalist majority but together we should be looking to

:02:57.:02:59.

achieve what is best for the people of Northern Ireland and not try to

:03:00.:03:03.

make political point scoring. The Prime Minister has enough to occupy

:03:04.:03:08.

her without worrying about fresh problems at Stormont, but still...

:03:09.:03:12.

If Theresa May did not know before she will now, that the two biggest

:03:13.:03:18.

parties in Northern Ireland are posed to the issue of Brexit and

:03:19.:03:20.

normative talking can change that. The police have released the names

:03:21.:03:24.

of the two women who died in this A man and woman in the other

:03:25.:03:27.

car were injured. It was here on the busy church road

:03:28.:03:40.

in Randall 's town that 35-year-old Michelle McStravick died alongside

:03:41.:03:45.

her colleague Lorraine Clyde who was 56 and from Antrim. The pair are

:03:46.:03:49.

believed to be care workers were carrying out their morning calls

:03:50.:03:52.

when the car they were travelling in was involved in a crash with a Ford

:03:53.:04:05.

focus. A man and a woman in that car suffered nonlife threatening

:04:06.:04:07.

injuries. There is sadness and grief for the people who have lost their

:04:08.:04:10.

lives, two women this morning. On social media, the sense of loss was

:04:11.:04:15.

evident. The road was closed for most of the day while investigators

:04:16.:04:20.

try to establish them up because of the crash. Police are appealing for

:04:21.:04:29.

witnesses to contact them. Three police officers. Trial accused of

:04:30.:04:33.

perverting the course of justice by giving false statements. Two of the

:04:34.:04:38.

officers are accused of assault. The charges are connected to an incident

:04:39.:04:43.

outside a bar on the 16th of March in 2013.

:04:44.:04:47.

Mourners at the funeral of a mother of three killed by a scrambler last

:04:48.:04:50.

week have been told her death could and should have been avoided.

:04:51.:04:53.

Thirty five year old Valerie Armstrong was walking her dog

:04:54.:04:55.

in Colin Glen Forest Park when the incident happened.

:04:56.:04:57.

A seventeen year old boy is charged in connection with her death.

:04:58.:05:00.

They walked before their mother into the church as a nativity where she

:05:01.:05:13.

worshipped every week. The children had painted pictures of angels to

:05:14.:05:17.

accompany Valerie on her last journey. Now there are wider family

:05:18.:05:24.

and the community mourned with them. When I think of Valerie Armstrong I

:05:25.:05:28.

think of a cheerful, and positive person. A person of faith and hope

:05:29.:05:34.

and I am sure that you think about in that same way as well. We are

:05:35.:05:45.

proud to have known Valerie who was as our colleagues described, a

:05:46.:05:47.

wonderful person, wife and mother. Valerie Armstrong had grown up in

:05:48.:06:01.

West made in a family of four daughters and two sons. She had an

:06:02.:06:06.

organ donation card and following the accident, her death had given

:06:07.:06:12.

new life to others. For her family, some consolation after the loss of a

:06:13.:06:19.

young woman in her prime. As we have heard, the circumstances of her

:06:20.:06:24.

death, shock turned to anger, because it was a terrible death that

:06:25.:06:27.

could have been avoided and should have been avoided. I know as you

:06:28.:06:37.

know that a death was not intended but it happened. And it happened

:06:38.:06:45.

because others made bad choices. Afterwards, ten-year-old Dylan once

:06:46.:06:50.

more at lead his mother from church. His little sisters were Karen --

:06:51.:06:56.

carried by their father and Valerie Armstrong was laid to rest in a

:06:57.:06:58.

cemetery in Lisburn. The owners of a bike hire business

:06:59.:07:00.

have warned its future could be in doubt following another theft

:07:01.:07:03.

at the weekend. It's the second time in four weeks

:07:04.:07:05.

that East Coast Adventure which is based at Kilbroney Park

:07:06.:07:08.

in Rostrevor has been targetted. Extreme speed in challenging

:07:09.:07:23.

terrain, this type of mountain biking is not for the faint-hearted.

:07:24.:07:28.

World-class trails like this are putting Northern Ireland on the map

:07:29.:07:32.

but many of those who want to try it will not have the right sort of

:07:33.:07:37.

like. That is where this business has carved out a niche, since 2013

:07:38.:07:42.

it has been harrying high-performance bikes but its

:07:43.:07:47.

future could be in doubt after 14 of them within estimated value of

:07:48.:07:51.

?20,000 were stolen in the early hours of Saturday morning. I did not

:07:52.:07:56.

know what to do. I looked into the container and found that the bikes

:07:57.:08:01.

were gone. Absolute devastation. What makes matters worse is that it

:08:02.:08:07.

has happened before. Especially after it happening less than four

:08:08.:08:14.

weeks ago. This time, with brand-new products. High-end bikes, to lose

:08:15.:08:19.

them again is devastation. The business owner thinks the same

:08:20.:08:23.

thieves are involved. After the last break-in steps were taken to

:08:24.:08:28.

reinforce the doors including welding on steel panels but it did

:08:29.:08:32.

not stop the thieves, they used wooden poles to prise open the

:08:33.:08:38.

doors. Then they slid the bikes out underneath. It has not

:08:39.:08:54.

been a good time for mountain biking. This month the trails in

:08:55.:08:58.

this park were targeted by vandals and the council say a vital part of

:08:59.:09:00.

the tourism offering is being jeopardised. It is a family run

:09:01.:09:03.

business. They are bringing extreme sports. Getting people active and we

:09:04.:09:05.

want them to continue and this might prove the straw that broke the

:09:06.:09:08.

camel's back. Half a dozen ewes were involved in the latest incident

:09:09.:09:12.

according to CCTV. The council will meet the business owners to make

:09:13.:09:16.

sure that the family run business can keep operating. -- youths.

Experts believe a rusty old dagger discovered in a Fermanagh river may

:09:23.:09:25.

have belonged to a Bronze Age warrior two and a half

:09:26.:09:28.

The dagger was left in a barn for more than fifty years.

:09:29.:09:32.

Our south west reporter Julian Fowler has been to Arney

:09:33.:09:34.

This river may look peaceful today but locals know that the bloody

:09:35.:09:46.

history of this part. In 1594 this was the sight of the battle of the

:09:47.:09:50.

Ford of the biscuits. When this sort was pulled from the water 400 years

:09:51.:09:54.

later, it was thought it might have been lost by a soldier. My brother

:09:55.:10:01.

was fishing here and he found an old sword at the edge. At the time,

:10:02.:10:09.

someone told us that it did not have anything to do with the battle. It

:10:10.:10:13.

was left to one side. It was forgotten about. A few weeks ago he

:10:14.:10:19.

was cleaning out a barn and found the sword lying on the floor and

:10:20.:10:23.

passed it onto an archaeologist. I said, do you want the good news or

:10:24.:10:27.

the bad news. The bad news was it was not from the battle but it was

:10:28.:10:33.

from the Bronze Age. Word came back it was 2600 old, unbelievable. Now

:10:34.:10:40.

missing its wooden handle it was deliberately broken in four before

:10:41.:10:46.

being left on the river. Who it belongs to and how it ended up in

:10:47.:10:51.

the river are likely to remain a mystery. There are theories that

:10:52.:10:57.

this once belonged to a Bronze Age warrior. It was the tradition at

:10:58.:11:01.

that time when the warrior died, his sword was taken, broken and left in

:11:02.:11:09.

the river. It was done to clear away any sense that he had in his past

:11:10.:11:13.

life. I love his version, for all we know that could be spot on. It is a

:11:14.:11:20.

really nice story. We are unsure, we think definitely this did not belong

:11:21.:11:25.

to your normal lady or bloke, this has come from a high level in

:11:26.:11:29.

society. The discovery has confirmed what those living here know, but

:11:30.:11:36.

this is a special place and has been for thousands of years.

:11:37.:11:38.

Geoff is here with the weather forecast.

:11:39.:11:47.

Good evening. Are some of unsettled weather is set to continue through

:11:48.:11:56.

this week as well. We have a whole mess of whether fans heading in our

:11:57.:12:01.

direction. Every day we will see rain and some days will see more

:12:02.:12:07.

than others. As they go through this evening and overnight, temperatures

:12:08.:12:11.

dropping away that should be enough to see showers in rural areas, lows

:12:12.:12:16.

into single figures. A bit cooler and fresher, easier to sleep

:12:17.:12:21.

tonight. Heading into Tuesday, it is another cloudy day, a reasonably dry

:12:22.:12:27.

start, we will not see the worst of showers, the heaviest will be in

:12:28.:12:30.

parts of Wales, warmer in the south-east of England, but for asked

:12:31.:12:39.

16 or 17 degrees. A dry note, the odd shower, but particularly across

:12:40.:12:43.

the East of Northern Ireland we will see some decent dry spells through

:12:44.:12:47.

the early part of the day, temperatures 1617 degrees, by the

:12:48.:12:51.

afternoon more showers working their way in from the West and gradually

:12:52.:12:54.

starting to spread their way into all parts as we go through the

:12:55.:13:00.

evening on Ritz. Wednesday, a similar pattern, starting off with a

:13:01.:13:04.

reasonably dry morning on Wednesday, a few bright spells here and there

:13:05.:13:09.

are, by the think-tank, rain approaching. There is anything a bit

:13:10.:13:17.

warmer on Wednesday, I need to master card for Thursday, the rain

:13:18.:13:18.

will be at its heaviest. Our next BBC Newsline is at six
