There's been widespread condemnation of a pipe bomb attack on a police | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
It happened close to a controversial bonfire in the Bogside. | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
Hundreds cheer watching on as the bonfire, standing over a 20 foot | :01:16. | :01:35. | |
high, is late. It has been a controversial issue in recent weeks, | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
with some residents fearing it would spark anti-social behaviour. Crowds | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
watch on and the mood seems celebratory. At odds with the | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
security alert the PSNI they began last night after a pipe bomb was | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
thrown at a police patrol. This morning, this is the scene. Small | :01:58. | :02:03. | |
grocers and debris litters the street. Wood and glass lay strewn | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
across the road. This bonfire still burns, much like the issues that | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
surround it. It is something that deeply divides this community and | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
there is some anger in the area. People feel threatened and | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
vulnerable. There is a lot of anger there, yes. People are seeing it is | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
a disgrace, the way the community has been left. There has been | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
widespread condemnation of the attack on police, which happened | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
near by. And against the burning of union flags and Sinn Fein election | :02:34. | :02:41. | |
posters. Some political representatives are blaming | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
dissident republicans for a leading young people astray. Without a | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
shadow of a doubt. The dogs in the street are aware of the connected | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
thread between farmer and a community, anti-social behaviour, | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
like this, and this kind of organisations. Sinn Fein posters | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
were on this bonfire. Is that perhaps an indication that you have | :02:59. | :03:05. | |
lost touch with people? Not at all. It is not the first time a Sinn Fein | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
bolster was on a bonfire. That incitement to hatred we need to deal | :03:10. | :03:15. | |
with that with that in that context. One local councillor, however, says | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
that younger people in the area have been forgotten about. By | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
nationalists and Republican politicians. This is not only a | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
mistrust of the police, this is of political representatives and | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
community representatives. There is a massive disconnect from the young | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
people of this area do what they would see of the establishment and | :03:37. | :03:38. | |
they have rebelled. A clean-up operation is now underway. It will | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
finish, no doubt, long before this debate has ended. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
It's been another day of high drama in the boxing ring in Rio | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
at the Olympic Games as Team Ireland's last hope | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
for a medal in the sport ended in controversy. | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
Stephen Watson joins us live from Brazil. | :03:53. | :04:07. | |
Donna, good evening. Michael Conlan from Belfast, an Olympic bronze | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
medallist at London 2012, was team Ireland's big gold medal hope here | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
in the ring in the Rio. He is a European and world champion and | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
seeded number one in his division. But today, his Olympics ended in | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
upset. He was visibly shaken and shocked after a tough quarterfinal | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
against a Russian opponent. His anger then turned to anger, because | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
he was very critical and outspoken about the judging. All three | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
officials, says Michael Conlan, lost the fight. He and his team | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
completely disagree. It was a result unpopular with most | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
people who watched the fight in the arena. Michael Conlan's Olympic | :04:53. | :05:01. | |
dream lay in tatters. He lost the bruising three round contest against | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
his Russian opponent on a unanimous decision. And then the Belfast man | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
vented his frustration at the judges afterwords. They stole my Olympic | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
dream. They have robbed me of something I have dreams of all my | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
life. I wanted to be a two-time Olympic medallist plus champion and | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Drury that was robbed of May. The final hurdle for me getting an | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Olympic medal. I have always said I was going to be Olympic champion, | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
today I feel it has been robbed of me. So I am distraught. So very | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
unhappy with the judging here today? Unhappy?! I have been unhappy with | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
the judging throughout the whole competition. So... It is what it is. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
I have been robbed of my dream. Michael's father is also his coach | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
and the decision left him very angry. I thought we won that fight | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
clearly. First round we destroyed the guy, middle to long-distance | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
love the plan. I don't know what the judges are looking at, what kind of | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
API looking at. I can't even speak. It is stinking. What are you going | :06:11. | :06:14. | |
to try to say to Michael to get him over this disappointment? You don't | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
need to be around these people. These people are no good. You know, | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
they have no shame there, standing there with no shame. How on God 's | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
name could you score that? Even one round, maybe, but 3-0 down? No | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
chance. I will probably lose my job over this but I don't care. I will | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
never box amateur again. Why should he? So, it team Ireland boxers | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
qualified for these games go home empty-handed. -- eight team Ireland | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
boxers. So, Michael Conlan's amateur career | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
looks like it has come to a close in a fairly unsatisfactory and | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
unsavoury manner. These games started with one side are failing a | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
drugs test and the other seven have all been beaten. Boxing is team | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
Ireland's most successful ever sport at the Olympics. No doubt the | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
microscope will now be turned on the sport to see what exactly has gone | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
wrong. Elsewhere for a team Ireland today there has been better news, | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
with a silver medal in there. I will be back later in the programme with | :07:14. | :07:22. | |
use of that, Donna. -- with a silver medal in sailing. | :07:23. | :07:23. | |
You're watching BBC Newsline, still to come on the programme: | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
Conflict at the castle - Stormont's accused of an act | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
of vandalism at one of Fermanagh's most historic buildings. | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
An investigator with the Police Ombudsman resigned | :07:34. | :07:34. | |
from his job days after an internal inquiry was launched | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
following the discovery of a gun and ammunition in his office. | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
The items had been examined as part of an investigation into a shooting | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
Our Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney reports. | :07:44. | :07:54. | |
An investigator working for the police ombudsman got quite a shock | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
when he opened a filing cabinet belonging to a colleague in June. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
Inside, he found a police handgun and ammunition. They had been seized | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
nine years ago as part of an investigation into a shooting | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
involving police officers in the Dundonald area of Belfast. The | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
procedures under which the ombudsman operates mean that after the gun and | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
bullets were examined, they should have been returned to an evidence | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
store. That obviously did not happen. The ombudsman has confirmed | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
to the BBC that after they were discovered in a member of staff's | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
filing cabinet, an investigation was launched immediately. It is | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
understood that member of staff had worked for the office since it | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
opened 16 years ago. In a statement, the police Mannesmann's office said | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
the gun and ammunition were among items were seized at the end | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
incident in January 2007, when police fired shots at this car, | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
which they believed to have been stolen. The gun found in the office | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
had not been fired during that incident. The ombudsman's statement | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
said the person being investigated no longer works for the office. It | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
is understood he resigned from his position shortly after being | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
informed that an internal investigation had been launched. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
When contacted by the BBC, Steve insisted that he had not breached | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
any procedures and that the handgun and ammunition had been stored in a | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
secure cabinet. He also insisted he had been planning to retire for some | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
time and that his decision to leave his job when he did was not | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
connected to the discovery of the items, or the fact that an | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
investigation had been launched. This incident is embarrassing for | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
the police ombudsman, who conduct investigation into complaints of | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
wrongdoing against police officers. Whatever the outcome of the police | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
investigation, the ombudsman cannot take any action against the employee | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
because he longer works for them. -- no longer. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
The 60-year-old man who died following a crash involving | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
a tractor on the Hilltown Road in County Down was | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
One other vehicle was involved in the collision yesterday evening. | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
Meanwhile, a teenage boy is still critically ill | :10:01. | :10:02. | |

A Stormont department responsible for the care and upkeep of historic | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
monuments has been accused of carrying out an act | :10:15. | :10:16. | |
of vandalism at a castle in County Fermanagh. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Tully Castle is a popular visitor attraction. | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
The hedge in the formal garden has been ripped up and the gate leading | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
Here's our South West reporter Julian Fowler. | :10:29. | :10:42. | |
The plantation castle was destroyed in the rebellion of 1641. A formal | :10:43. | :10:49. | |
garden with box hedges, herbs and flowers was restored about 30 years | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
ago, but now it all so in ruins. Tourists have also found the gate to | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
the interior of the castle locked. We brought some friends over for the | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
day to show off the lovely castle but unfortunately it is locked in | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
the gardens are gone bust of it is a bit of a shame, because it was | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
absolutely stunning the last time we were here. A little bit disappointed | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
to find it is not open until four that the gardens are not here any | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
more. The way we remember them. The castle appears on tourist brochures | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
and businesses are angry at what has happened. It looked very well for us | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
for marketing at this end of the manor, and, as I say, you can say we | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
are now left with nothing. If this history is lost, we will that end up | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
in trying to maintain our heritage in Northern Ireland? Part of that | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
history has a dark side. When Protestant settlers for refugee in | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
1641, 16 men and more than 60 women and children were massacred on | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Christmas Day. They are not mentioned anywhere. There is no | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
plaque or memorial to them. I sort of figured that the castle in the | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
state that it was in was a fitting reminder and memorial to them. And | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
how would you describe what has now been done? It is... Vandalism. The | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
castle is cared for by the Department fought and it is. A | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
spokesperson said the garden had become over mature and the | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
vegetation needed to be removed. This was not done, they said, to | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
save costs and it would be replaced by lawns of it was decided this was | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
more authentic. They added that the inside of the castle is open for | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
four hours on Sundays, during the summer. Local people say that | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
locking the castle and digging up the garden has created a negative | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
image for visitors to this part of four manner. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
New government figures on the Northern Ireland housing | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
market show a big drop in the number of sales in the run-up | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Transactions hit a three-year low - but at the same time prices rose, | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
as our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports. | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
The data covers April, May and June and shows upward price movement | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
compared to the previous three months of the growth. The average | :13:13. | :13:20. | |
property rose by around ?3000, largely in keeping with the pattern | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
of the last three years of modest rises. They, we have still got a | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
huge gap to close from where the peak of the market was in 2007, | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
could be generations before that is reached. But we are slowly but | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
surely coming up the kerb. But there is no point lead in terms of house | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
price rises, just a small pockets. Overall, between the first and | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
second quarters of this year, prices increased by almost 4%. The average | :13:47. | :13:51. | |
property in Northern Ireland is worth ?123,000, by far the cheapest | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
in the UK. But sales volumes are down, just over 4000 transactions in | :13:58. | :14:05. | |
quarter two, that is a drop of 28% on the previous quarter. So, a less | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
busy market but one in which deals are still being done. We had about | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
four viewings in one week, which was unbelievable! We then had a couple | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
of people interested and they placed bids, and we finally have accepted | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
an offer last week. An Ulster University report last week pointed | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
to a volatile housing market caught up in the economic uncertainty | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
surrounding Brexit. And that could explain fewer sales. | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
Today's statistics only go up as far as the end of June, so they tell us | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
nothing about the outcome of the referendum did to house prices. That | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
will not become clear until quarter to three's data is released, and | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
that will not be until November. Still to come before | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
7pm: How a local bakery is supplying a taste of home | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
for the Polish community here. There's been a big fall | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
in blood donations. The Northern Ireland Blood | :15:13. | :15:14. | |
Transfusion Service says the number of new donors has dropped by 36% | :15:15. | :15:16. | |
over the last ten years. Catherine Morrison's | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
been finding out why. That a drop of 36% in the new donors | :15:20. | :15:33. | |
coming forward is pretty worrying, and here are some other statistics. | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
The blood transfusion statistics and needs a thousand new donors to come | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
through every year. That equates to 150 per week. And here is why. The | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
people in Northern Ireland received blood transfusions every hour. That | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
is a lot of lives saved thanks to the generosity of blood donors. -- | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
three people. Some of them have been year-to-date giving blood. Such as | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
temples of your recovering with a cup of tea and biscuits. With a | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
pimple? It was not painful at all. It was absolutely fine, very | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
straightforward. You're very well looked after and all of the blood | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
transfusions centres in the north, the staff are very professional and | :16:13. | :16:16. | |
caring and it is very simple and straightforward and very worthwhile. | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
You have been doing this for 30 or 40 years now, why did you start | :16:19. | :16:23. | |
donating blood in the first place? I used to drive home of the road and | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
CD signs for the transfusion servers at the Methodist Hall and just | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
wanted to give something back and I just wanted to play a small part in | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
the whole procedure things. Well, Tim is in all hand at donating blood | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
but really, Paul, it is new donors that you now need to appeal to? It | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
is indeed. We have to future proof the service by getting more new | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
donors to come forward. Anyone aged between 17 and 65 years of age, if | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
they are reasonably healthy, should be able to roll to give blood. Now, | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
there is only 6% of the eligible population in Northern Ireland | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
actually does give blood, so there is a lot of people out there who | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
could come forward to give. What is putting people off? What are you | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
putting this down to? Life has got busier and it has got more digital. | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
Also, even the likes of tattoos. That have become very, very popular | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
in Northern Ireland over the last number of years. And if you have a | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
tattoo, you cannot give God, but for a period of time, up to a year. -- | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
you cannot give blood for a period of time. That is why people don't | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
come forward. Also there is a bit of complacency as well. People will be | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
listening to this and saying it is a good idea to give blood and will do | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
a lot of good and "I must do it next week, next month, next year." We ask | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
them to please do it now. Thank you very much for joining us today. If | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
you have been inspired by what you're bearing, you can find out | :17:53. | :17:54. | |
much more as I does online and the blood transfusion website. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
The Secretary of State James Brokenshire says he acknowledges | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
there are special circumstances for Northern Ireland which will have | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
to be taken into account during the government's negotiations | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
He was speaking during a visit to Bushmills as he started a two | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
week tour canvassing public opinion on Brexit. | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
I think that there are particular factors here in Northern Ireland. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Busy with the land border that is a very relevant issue on why we have | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
had that focus, why am sure we will continue to see those discussions | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
with the Irish Government, about the Common travel area. Ensuring that we | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
do not return to the borders of the past. But I know there are other | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
factors here, the importance of agriculture, the single electricity | :18:43. | :18:44. | |
market, and there will be other cases as well. But it is also | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
important how we project Northern Ireland. The opportunities that we | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
have. The growing number of Polish people | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
in Northern Ireland has encouraged businesses to cater to the needs. | :19:02. | :19:09. | |
One bakery here is importing raw materials into Northern Ireland | :19:10. | :19:11. | |
And its finding that there's an even wider market. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
It is hard physical work producing bread and there's bakery operates | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
six 60 a week. They work out what their customers need and deliver the | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
next morning. For the Polish market we can deliver around 700 loaves per | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
night. It all depends. Monday is the most busy day because it is after | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
the weekend. And steady Freddie is not busy day, because people order | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
44 Saturday and Sunday. -- Freddie is another busiest day. Sector | :19:41. | :19:48. | |
employs 14, mostly other Polish nationals, to bake the bread. I had | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
to work really hard to get into the market, to get into the shops. And | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
basically get that chance from shop owners to get my bread on the shelf. | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
He says Polish bread is different because it is stone baked, users | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
Polish ingredients and a sourdough. That is what brings the taste of | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
home to people living here. That mixing, baking, slicing and | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
packaging went on until three o'clock this morning, and then | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
Victor got in his van and delivered that bread to shops across Northern | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Ireland, like this Polish supermarket in Belfast. This chain | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
of five shops believes using a local supplier makes good business sense. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
Having a local supplier shortens the time of delivery, so we can have | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
fresh bread coming. And also from other breads that might not be from | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
a local supplier, is something was to go wrong, for it to spoil or a | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
loss, we can always rely on local suppliers to provide the product for | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
us in a very short notice. But local produce is not good enough when it | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
comes to spuds. They are imported from Poland. Victor left school at | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
15 and worked in Italy and Germany before ending up in Northern | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
Ireland. In his spare time, he is also a Tyler. School was not a good | :21:05. | :21:10. | |
thing for me. I choose work. Hard work. | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
We've heard about the drama in the Olympic boxing | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
but there was better news from the sailing in the past hour. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
Yes, four years ago Annaliese Murphy was left in tears | :21:22. | :21:31. | |
when she finished fourth in the Laser Radial sailing, | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
having led the class for most of the Games. | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
In the past hour she's clinched a silver medal for Team Ireland. | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
And there could yet be more medals to come in the sailing | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
from another crew battling in the Men's 49er class. | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
She began today both Mac medal race knowing that just as in London four | :21:55. | :22:08. | |
years ago she had a matter within her grasp. She started in bronze, | :22:09. | :22:11. | |
with only sailors from the Netherlands and Denmark ahead of. | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
She also had a strong start, and the battles and developed alongside | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Danish rival. Finishing ahead guaranteed her a silver medal, a | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
fitting way to erase the memory of her London 2012 disappointment. This | :22:26. | :22:27. | |
time four years ago I had just finished fourth and it was the | :22:28. | :22:30. | |
hardest day of my life but I said that I was going to come back and | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
try to get a medal, so to actually go and do it is just incredible! I | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
am really happy. I don't know whether I am laughing or crying! But | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
it is just... I was just so happy with how Isil does become that last | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
race I just put everything together really well and I am over the moon. | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
Meanwhile, in the 49er class, team Ireland could add to their whole. | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
The men began six overall today in a tight contest that could see them | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
contesting Thursday both Mac medal race. | :23:04. | :23:12. | |
They have currently slipped to 12, but little pig at the success that | :23:13. | :23:15. | |
they deserve. The new Pro 12 season gets underway | :23:16. | :23:16. | |
next month and Ulster Rugby have been parading their new bigname | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
signings, including two international stars | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
from the Southern Hemisphere. No matter what short years on, | :23:22. | :23:34. | |
Ulster's new marquee player is quickly adapting to life is the | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
centre of attention and northern Ireland. 50 months after signing, | :23:40. | :23:43. | |
the kiwi is finally an Ulster man. It feels like it has been a long | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
time coming but to be here right now is good. The welcome has been very, | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
very warm and, I guess, the people here, the club, the players have | :23:54. | :24:01. | |
made my transition very easy. A man in demand, the 24-year-old spent | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
last season at English premiership side wasps and was asked to prolong | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
his stay in London. It was tempting but I guess, you know, the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
commitment I made earlier was always to come to this club and I felt like | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
it was a huge character test for me and it was one that I was happy to | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
commit and be a man of my word to come here. Joining Charles is | :24:27. | :24:29. | |
another southern hemisphere star, but after knee ligament in April, | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
the South African's debut will not be until the New Year. I must | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
commend Ulster. Through the tough period of that time, they said no | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
worries. They will come here and we have me and fix me. It has given me | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
a lot of confidence. If all goes well, we are aiming a January. It | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
was very disappointing, but I am not want to make my debut earlier, but I | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
would rather be 100% fit than 70%. Big names with big reputations. | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
Ulster's season kicks off in just over two weeks. | :25:03. | :25:09. | |
And the Welsh dragons are Ulster's first opposition. Just before I | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
leave you in Rio tonight, some breaking news surrounding that story | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
about Michael Conlan's controversial defeat. In the boxing ring. The | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
sport's governing body have issued a statement saying that there will be | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
absolutely no chance of that decision being overturned. They know | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
there are concerns about the judging and they will review the footage to | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
assess the performance of their judges, but as for now, no decision | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
will be overturned and Michael Conlan's Olympic dream of winning | :25:39. | :25:39. | |
goal here in Rio is sadly over. Angie Phillips has | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
the latest weather forecast. Yes, hello, good evening. Changes | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
are underway but we are still enjoying the sunshine after what was | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
a glorious day. Some fairly decent and because of. If we take a look at | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
the satellite picture, apart from some cloud over eastern parts of | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
England, sunny skies across many parts of the country. We are casting | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
an eye towards the west, this weather front that is going to be | :26:05. | :26:07. | |
edging its way into waters, bringing that to change as we head into | :26:08. | :26:17. | |
tomorrow. I hope you enjoy that that sunshine, we did get off to a misty | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
start over some hilly areas but once the SunGard higher commonly mist | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
burned off, leaving plenty of navy blue skies in many places, such as | :26:25. | :26:26. | |
here. Plenty of people out there enjoying that sunshine. But this | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
actually was not the warmest spot. They had a bit of an onshore breeze | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
along the east coast, with the highest ever drifting towards the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
north and west, getting up to 23, 20 4 degrees. After that one day, a | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
fine, balmy evening to come. Still a lot of dry weather at this point. | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
Through the night, a bit more acquired starting to edging on that | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
breeze and it made bridges the odd shower and rumble of thunder. We are | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
still looking at more dry and wet weather through tonight. -- it made | :26:53. | :26:55. | |
bridges. Maybe 12 or 13 in the countryside. Tomorrow, it is going | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
to be a different day. That weather front moves on to bring spells of | :27:00. | :27:02. | |
rain. After what will be a dry start first thing, maybe even a bit of | :27:03. | :27:05. | |
brightness towards the east, but it will not be long before the cloud | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
gathers. Persistent rain pushing them towards the West with a risk of | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
some thunder mixed in. Some heavy bursts. That rain just edges of sway | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
towards the eastern counties in the afternoon. Lunch such a great end to | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
the day and tempter is not as high with a lack of sunshine. -- not such | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
a great end. That rain continues into tomorrow night, before starting | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
to ease away. Ended Thursday, at least above Maguire, is not rather | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
cloudy. It looks as though we have more wet and windy weather heading | :27:36. | :27:36. | |
on Friday. | :27:37. | :27:40. |
