:00:14. > :00:26.The headlines on BBC Newsline: The head of

:00:27. > :00:28.the Irish Olympic Council is arrested in Rio over

:00:29. > :00:31.A sexual harassment case against a KFC restaurant -

:00:32. > :00:34.two sisters are awarded tens of thousands of pounds.

:00:35. > :00:36.Back on track - the long-awaited dualling scheme for this

:00:37. > :00:44.The local business that's refusing to slice its spending plans.

:00:45. > :00:49.We're out on a shout with a lifeboat crew on the coast.

:00:50. > :00:52.And we've got rain in the forecast tonight but we should see the sun

:00:53. > :00:55.make a return appearance before the end of play tomorrow.

:00:56. > :01:05.First to that arrest in Brazil of Pat Hickey.

:01:06. > :01:08.He is not only President of the Irish Olympic Council

:01:09. > :01:13.but an International Olympic Committee executive.

:01:14. > :01:15.He was detained by the police in Rio De Janeiro

:01:16. > :01:20.over the alleged illegal sale of Olympic Games tickets.

:01:21. > :01:36.at a hotel at six o'clock this morning - local time.

:01:37. > :01:40.at a hotel at six o'clock this morning - local time.

:01:41. > :01:43.Detectives went to his hotel room, where he was seen by a doctor

:01:44. > :01:45.before being taken into custody for questioning.

:01:46. > :01:50.attending a number of Olympic events.

:01:51. > :01:53.Last week, the trip was overshadowed by the arrest of another Irishman

:01:54. > :01:59.in the same police investigation into alleged ticket touting.

:02:00. > :02:01.Let's go live to Rio and to Stephen Watson,

:02:02. > :02:12.who's been covering the games for us.

:02:13. > :02:21.Stephen, he has temporarily stepped aside from his Olympic position. But

:02:22. > :02:27.explain to us how this has come about. 'S here is the most powerful

:02:28. > :02:30.man in Irish sport. He has stood down temporarily Webbers police

:02:31. > :02:35.investigation is underway. This morning, at around 7am, and

:02:36. > :02:38.laboratories in the dramatic pictures, police came to his room in

:02:39. > :02:42.the Olympic family Hotel and arrested him in his bathrobe. It is

:02:43. > :02:47.all part of a Brazilian police investigation into illegal Olympic

:02:48. > :02:51.ticketing sales. He is suspected of being involved in a scheme to sell

:02:52. > :02:56.the tickets or higher than their face value. Police also confirmed

:02:57. > :02:59.that they took the 71-year-old to hospital as a precaution, and that

:03:00. > :03:03.is where we believe he remains at the moment. The police have also

:03:04. > :03:08.seized his passport, his airline ticket and credentials and will

:03:09. > :03:12.retain them until this investigation is complete. This morning, when the

:03:13. > :03:18.police came to the rim, at first they found his wife in the room and

:03:19. > :03:21.she is believed to have told them that Pat Hicky had already left and

:03:22. > :03:25.gone home to Ireland. For the police began a search of the hotel early in

:03:26. > :03:30.the morning, in the gym and restaurant, and eventually they

:03:31. > :03:35.located Pat Hicky in the room next door, believed to have belonged to

:03:36. > :03:38.his sun. A short time ago, I spoke to a journalist who was an

:03:39. > :03:43.eyewitness this morning and this is what he had to say.

:03:44. > :03:48.Not only him, but the entire IOC, because so many of them, the lobby,

:03:49. > :03:55.they were very surprised first of all but very embarrassed. That was,

:03:56. > :04:07.I think, they main Mold that they were this morning. A lot of people

:04:08. > :04:10.asking questions. They had a lot of trouble finding him at first because

:04:11. > :04:14.he was not in his rain. In part, you have to recognise that this is a bit

:04:15. > :04:16.of a show by the police in order to prove locally and internationally

:04:17. > :04:28.that it has a role. You mentioned that you believe he is

:04:29. > :04:32.in hospital. Any more details about that and his medical condition?

:04:33. > :04:34.We have no further updates but we do know that he cited a heart problem

:04:35. > :04:47.that has been taken there as a precaution because of his age and we

:04:48. > :04:50.expect him to sit overnight. The Executive committee for the Olympic

:04:51. > :04:53.games held a press conference and they said they would make no further

:04:54. > :04:56.comment about it. There are others are concerned about the arrest of

:04:57. > :04:59.one of their members but until the police investigation is complete,

:05:00. > :05:05.they would say nothing more. They declined to comment on the specifics

:05:06. > :05:06.of that arrest but say they have every confidence in the police

:05:07. > :05:14.investigation. The Republic's sports minister

:05:15. > :05:16.has been in Brazil and has issued a statement -

:05:17. > :05:27.what does it say? He has already had a meeting with

:05:28. > :05:30.Pat Hicky about his alleged things he is alleged to have done and Pat

:05:31. > :05:34.Hicky said under no circumstances was there any impropriety from him

:05:35. > :05:38.or anybody associated with the Olympic Council of Ireland. Mist or

:05:39. > :05:41.Ross has today said that we will fly home to Ireland immediately, or as

:05:42. > :05:43.soon as possible, because of the seriousness of what has happened.

:05:44. > :05:47.move following some controversial results in the boxing -

:05:48. > :05:48.including that of Belfast's Michael Conlan -

:05:49. > :06:06.Well, we remember yesterday that Michael Conlan was very outspoken

:06:07. > :06:10.about the judging of his site when he was knocked out of the

:06:11. > :06:13.competition at the quarterfinal stage. He said the judges should

:06:14. > :06:18.have awarded the fight to him and not as Russian opponent. The

:06:19. > :06:22.governing body of boxing promised an investigation ride across the board

:06:23. > :06:27.of all 239 sites that have taken place here so far. They said today

:06:28. > :06:31.that after that reviewed have been a handful of results that they are

:06:32. > :06:34.perhaps unhappy with and the judges involved in those contests will no

:06:35. > :06:40.longer be officiating at these games. What we do know is Michael

:06:41. > :06:44.Conlan's fight, weather it is one of those 239 contests that they

:06:45. > :06:50.believed to have been a wrong decision.

:06:51. > :06:51.We will return to Stephen later with news of some of the action of

:06:52. > :06:54.today's games. Two sisters from Belfast have

:06:55. > :06:56.settled sexual harassment claims Kirstie and Courtney McKeever

:06:57. > :06:59.complained about the behaviour They agreed settlements

:07:00. > :07:19.of ?14,000 and ?16,000. Courtney and Kirstie were both

:07:20. > :07:22.teenagers when they started working at the KFC restaurant but they

:07:23. > :07:29.resigned, saying a male colleague had sexually harassed them and made

:07:30. > :07:34.working there impossible. Courtney spoke to Good Morning Ulster about

:07:35. > :07:37.what they had to endure. On a few occasions, both of us would come

:07:38. > :07:40.home crying because of what he said to us and it made me feel like he

:07:41. > :07:45.had power over me because they get licking my cheeks and whenever we

:07:46. > :07:49.were on shifts together, split shifts, every opportunity he got. I

:07:50. > :07:52.just got fed up of it and said it was too much and I just walked up

:07:53. > :07:57.and didn't ever go back. And then I made a complaint and went and got

:07:58. > :08:00.legal advice of a solicitor. KFC say that after they heard about the

:08:01. > :08:05.allegations, the investigated or so and then took action. As a result,

:08:06. > :08:11.the employee at the centre of the complaints was dismissed. The branch

:08:12. > :08:16.of KFC at the centre of the case is run by Belfast- based Herbal

:08:17. > :08:27.Restaurants. In a statement, they said...

:08:28. > :08:33.The equality commission praised the two sisters for speaking out about

:08:34. > :08:38.what happened to them. I think it is completely unacceptable, that sexual

:08:39. > :08:45.harassment still, regrettably, forms part of many working women's legs.

:08:46. > :08:48.These are any teenagers working a part-time job getting a bit of money

:08:49. > :08:51.together and they had to leave their jobs and we would encourage more

:08:52. > :08:54.woman to complain if they are made to feel uncomfortable or threatened

:08:55. > :08:56.in any way and the workplace. The case was settled out of court at a

:08:57. > :09:02.total cost of ?30,000. A stretch of road between Belfast

:09:03. > :09:04.and Londonderry is to be upgraded

:09:05. > :09:05.to dual carriageway. Work is due to begin in October

:09:06. > :09:09.on nine miles of the A6 between As Will Leitch reports,

:09:10. > :09:12.the construction will be on two sections of road either side

:09:13. > :09:32.of the bypass at Toomebridge. For 18,000 crowd users taking this

:09:33. > :09:36.route every day, a shorter journey is in sight. The mock-up shows the

:09:37. > :09:41.driving experience after work starting this October, and taking

:09:42. > :09:47.four years and ?160 million. There is a real need to tackle and address

:09:48. > :09:52.the infrastructure over the last number of years. This is a priority

:09:53. > :09:55.for me, the Afive and Asix. When you're looking to rebalance the

:09:56. > :10:00.economy any regional way, in Derry, this is the way to do it. It is

:10:01. > :10:03.vitally important that we invest in on the structure projects such as

:10:04. > :10:08.this and I am delighted to be doing so. Plans for this scheme date back

:10:09. > :10:10.30 years and for some a definite construction schedule is good news.

:10:11. > :10:14.There was a bit of ambiguity during the summer months that it may fall

:10:15. > :10:17.off the table, so I think that removes any uncertainty. We do now

:10:18. > :10:21.know something is going to start with this year. Of course, we still

:10:22. > :10:25.have to be sure that the contract is in mind the concerns of some of the

:10:26. > :10:28.landowners. In mixture of whatever can be done to accommodate them so

:10:29. > :10:33.that this is a win-win for everyone. Unlike some other road improvement

:10:34. > :10:37.schemes, this one won't be falling so much of the existing route, and

:10:38. > :10:40.that means miles of new dual carriageway through open

:10:41. > :10:45.countryside. Some of it environmental and cultural

:10:46. > :10:49.significance. Those stretches away from the existing road are

:10:50. > :10:54.unsettling for some local people, convinced there could be a better

:10:55. > :10:57.route. Seamus wrote his early poems about this landscape and the

:10:58. > :11:02.construction is already scheduled to avoid disturbing nurse once. It

:11:03. > :11:08.appears to be a fait accompli, but, to be honest, in tandem with a few

:11:09. > :11:19.other people, we have invested so much time and energy in putting our

:11:20. > :11:24.case forward time after time that... Until the diggers arrive, we feel

:11:25. > :11:30.that we still have to keep pointing out that we think that it is wrong.

:11:31. > :11:35.Early preparatory work before a full construction has already begun.

:11:36. > :11:38.has fallen to its lowest level in eight years.

:11:39. > :11:40.The latest Government figures show 600 people came off

:11:41. > :11:50.as our business correspondent Julian O'Neill reports.

:11:51. > :11:57.Today's data is positive. The jobless total has not been this

:11:58. > :12:02.floor since November 2000 and eight. July recorded another fall to just

:12:03. > :12:05.over 30 6000. Problems like long-term and youth unemployment

:12:06. > :12:12.remain, but over the past year there has been progress, with people like

:12:13. > :12:16.this shop worker held on to work to a government scheme. They give you

:12:17. > :12:20.great help as well and with interview techniques and

:12:21. > :12:25.communication skills and things you need to do, so it kind of set you up

:12:26. > :12:31.for that period. Straight on, unemployed, Streatham. Wanted the

:12:32. > :12:35.motion started, it takes a short period of time to find work. -- once

:12:36. > :12:39.you get the motion started. This factory on the outskirts of Belfast

:12:40. > :12:43.has been hiring at the door queue shortening could be a factor in

:12:44. > :12:47.fewer applicants for job openings. We have had a situation where we

:12:48. > :12:50.have offered people a position and they have accepted and then

:12:51. > :12:54.subsequently they have actually withdrawn because they have had a

:12:55. > :12:58.better offer, and we are seeing that more often now. To two years ago, we

:12:59. > :13:03.would have had three times the number of applicants proposed that

:13:04. > :13:07.we are getting today. But Northern Ireland still compares poorly with

:13:08. > :13:11.Great Britain in key areas of the labour market. For example, median

:13:12. > :13:17.wages, which are lower by about ?40 per week. The gap is narrowing it

:13:18. > :13:22.has been there for 20 years. And here, a lower proportion of people

:13:23. > :13:30.of working age are in jobs. Our employment rate is 69%, the UK

:13:31. > :13:35.average is 74.5%. With the device having been consistent over the last

:13:36. > :13:39.ten years. Today's figures also show there was no negative Brexit effect

:13:40. > :13:44.in the month after the referendum, but it is much too early to form any

:13:45. > :13:45.picture of how the UK withdrawal from the EU will play out in the

:13:46. > :13:47.jobs front. Earlier, we heard about the fallout

:13:48. > :13:49.of controversial decisions with some judges and

:13:50. > :13:55.referees being dropped. With all of Team Ireland's boxers

:13:56. > :13:57.out of the competition, Ita Dungan has been

:13:58. > :14:20.to the Holy Family Boxing Club The dream of making it. The medals,

:14:21. > :14:23.the titles, the fame, but not this. They stole my Olympics, they have

:14:24. > :14:28.robbed me of something I deemed of my life. I wanted to be an Olympic

:14:29. > :14:32.champion and today that dream was robbed of me. I just felt really

:14:33. > :14:37.sorry for him because of the way he was getting on and all and he knew

:14:38. > :14:42.he won it but the decision didn't go his way. And those that have an

:14:43. > :14:47.impact on the way you see the Olympics, or is it still something

:14:48. > :14:52.you would love to do? No, the Olympics is something I would always

:14:53. > :14:59.love to do but... It is just hard seeing a few people from boxing

:15:00. > :15:03.getting robbed out of the Olympics. But at is still something I would

:15:04. > :15:10.love to do. What about you? I would love to do it as well. What are the

:15:11. > :15:16.chances? I don't know! Gerry's coached boxers to the

:15:17. > :15:20.Olympic Games. He also strongly or of a podium is. This gym will be

:15:21. > :15:23.packed tonight with the kids, every night of the week posted a there and

:15:24. > :15:26.here, and the rest of the clubs will be the same. There are number one

:15:27. > :15:35.mission is keeping the kids off the street. But it is very sad when

:15:36. > :15:38.you're building them up and the work they putting into it and, believe

:15:39. > :15:40.you me, no matter what happens when Tokyo comes around, the boxing and

:15:41. > :15:43.Ireland will be their number one for results. Number one for winning and

:15:44. > :15:46.number one for bringing back medals. Maybe not Tokyo, but this Olympic

:15:47. > :15:50.boxing medallist believes Michael Conlan's career is far from over.

:15:51. > :15:54.Some people train all their lives and don't even get to go to the

:15:55. > :15:57.Olympics. Michael Conlan's tasted the Olympic Games twice.

:15:58. > :16:00.Unfortunately, it has not been in a nice taste this game but there is a

:16:01. > :16:04.lot out there for Michael Conlan inbox. Success in the amateur boxing

:16:05. > :16:10.world is tough. Physically, mentally and financially. Michael Conlan had

:16:11. > :16:16.made it. He was reigning world, European and Commonwealth champion.

:16:17. > :16:18.Whether or not yesterday's decision in the ring will have any impact on

:16:19. > :16:22.boxers like this remains to be seen. A leading food company, Dale Farm,

:16:23. > :16:26.says it's committed to investing ?20 million in the years

:16:27. > :16:29.ahead, even though there is uncertainty over future trade

:16:30. > :16:36.relations with the European Union. Last month, the First

:16:37. > :16:38.and Deputy First Ministers said our economy, which is heavily

:16:39. > :16:40.reliant on agriculture and food production,

:16:41. > :16:41.was "uniquely vulnerable" This report from our

:16:42. > :16:54.Agriculture and Environment Cheese is big business in Cookstown.

:16:55. > :16:57.?70 million worth of sales out of this deal farm factory. So it is not

:16:58. > :17:02.hard to see why they are putting lots of money in. Today, it was the

:17:03. > :17:07.latest phase of a ?7 million investment. The bulk of this stuff,

:17:08. > :17:11.80% of it, will go to supermarkets in Britain. But Europe will take

:17:12. > :17:16.some too. There is of course a huge amount of uncertainty around what

:17:17. > :17:18.our future trading announcements with Europe will look like, and

:17:19. > :17:22.there are key to our food economy. Here, they believe they are

:17:23. > :17:26.well-positioned to respond, no matter what way they killed turns

:17:27. > :17:31.out. They would like free trade access to European markets, but if

:17:32. > :17:37.there are tariffs they are a two-way street and they will also apply to

:17:38. > :17:40.foreign cheese coming into the UK. That will make Cookstown - made

:17:41. > :17:43.cheddar price competitive, and they hope to shift even more of it in

:17:44. > :17:47.Great Britain. It is for that reason the company says future investment

:17:48. > :17:51.decisions will not really rely on the outcome of the Brexit

:17:52. > :17:55.negotiations. One or two of them which would depend on trade deals,

:17:56. > :17:59.and if we did not get a trade deal that was free trade then we may not

:18:00. > :18:03.expand in certain areas. Right now, we have got a pipeline of probably

:18:04. > :18:09.?29 and projects which we are bringing forward and we are going to

:18:10. > :18:12.continue with those, regardless of whether the Brexit deal is good or

:18:13. > :18:16.bad. That is good news for Simon Hamilton, coming so soon after his

:18:17. > :18:19.party colleague and First Minister to be Prime Minister who Northern

:18:20. > :18:23.Ireland's economy was uniquely vulnerable to the loss of EU funding

:18:24. > :18:27.and potential barriers to trade. I think this investment is a sign of

:18:28. > :18:31.where you see companies continuing to me that important investment, and

:18:32. > :18:35.it is a business as usual situation. And there were some good news for

:18:36. > :18:40.Derry farmers today as well. The 1.5 p per litre rising the milk price

:18:41. > :18:49.reflecting signs of a slow recovery in that badly hit sector.

:18:50. > :18:52.A woman whose home was targeted in an arson attack in Derry

:18:53. > :18:54.says she'll not be intimidated into moving out.

:18:55. > :18:57.Scorch damage was caused to the house in Nelson Drive two days ago.

:18:58. > :19:00.Katie Greer says she believes she could have been seriously injured.

:19:01. > :19:06.The attack has been condemned by local councillors.

:19:07. > :19:08.The summer months can be a busy time for our rescue services

:19:09. > :19:13.The RNLI has made a number of rescues in recent days.

:19:14. > :19:25.spent the day with the charity's volunteers on the north coast.

:19:26. > :19:33.The RNLI is as firm a fixture on our beaches as the ice cream man. And,

:19:34. > :19:36.for both, it is peak season. Around 250 volunteers help man the ten

:19:37. > :19:43.lifeboat stations across Northern Ireland. Last year, they helped save

:19:44. > :19:52.nearly 500 people. The crews won the rescue skills during regular

:19:53. > :19:57.training exercises like this one. Many of the volunteers juggle the

:19:58. > :20:02.charity work with full-time jobs. My day job as I work on the ferries,

:20:03. > :20:06.week on week off, thought my week of gives me a lot of opportunity to get

:20:07. > :20:12.stuck in with the crew and do the training and out on the sides. I get

:20:13. > :20:17.great satisfaction out of building people. It is always good for the

:20:18. > :20:23.community as well. The busiest day so far this year for

:20:24. > :20:30.the RNLI here on the RNLI caused -- you're on the coast was when 39,000

:20:31. > :20:34.people visited pages on this area in July. On that day alone, there were

:20:35. > :20:38.five rescues carried out, 16 missing people and 11 people received first

:20:39. > :20:43.aid treatment. Lifeguards and lifeboat crews respond to everything

:20:44. > :20:47.from slips and stings to major open water search operations. But they

:20:48. > :20:51.say it is often ripped currents that put people in danger. The ocean is

:20:52. > :20:55.not a swimming pool. There are things going on under the service

:20:56. > :20:57.that you do not see on the surface. A swimming pool doesn't have

:20:58. > :21:01.undercurrents, the ocean does, and that is what we need to educate

:21:02. > :21:09.people about more on those dangerous. Go to a less crowded

:21:13. > :21:15.be out for the day. Any questions, approach the lifeguards. They are

:21:16. > :21:20.experts in their field and our to answer any questions and seeing if

:21:21. > :21:23.we are going to go out on any boats for the first time, ensure you were

:21:27. > :21:29.those listening to enjoy what is left of summer on the Gosling, the

:21:30. > :21:31.message is clear, respect the water. -- for those hoping to enjoy what is

:21:32. > :21:32.left of the summer. Back to the Olympic Games and there

:21:33. > :21:36.has been some local interest Stephen Watson

:21:37. > :21:38.has the latest on that. The women's golf got underway today

:21:39. > :21:45.with two locals in the action - Cavans Leona Maguire

:21:46. > :21:47.and Stephanie Meadow from Jordanstown were flying

:21:48. > :22:01.the flag for Ulster and Ireland. Leona McGuire had the honour of

:22:02. > :22:06.teeing off in the first group this morning at the Olympic course. On

:22:07. > :22:12.the 21-year-old recorded the first birdie in ladies Olympic gold since

:22:13. > :22:17.1900 on the opening hole. But that was as good as it got for the world

:22:18. > :22:21.number one amateur, who struggled to adapt to the Brazilian course,

:22:22. > :22:25.dropping shots on the front line halls, which ultimately led to the

:22:26. > :22:33.Duke University student shooting a disappointing 74, to leave a will

:22:34. > :22:37.pace. I's second player is Stephanie Medel. And, despite a wonderful

:22:38. > :22:43.birdie on the 5th hole, the 24-year-old carded a 6-over par 77,

:22:44. > :22:46.meaning both Irish golfers have a lot of work to do on Thursday to

:22:47. > :22:48.make their way back up the leaderboard.

:22:49. > :22:54.And who will keep you up-to-date with their progress. Note to a novel

:22:55. > :22:59.initiative by the Northern Ireland football manager Michael O'Neill.

:23:00. > :23:02.Post Euro 2016, he as the Irish football Association through social

:23:03. > :23:06.media to try to find the best young footballing talent in the country.

:23:07. > :23:14.After getting 600 responses, they have whittled it down to the winner.

:23:15. > :23:19.It started with an invite they are social media for tryout run for 600

:23:20. > :23:25.players whittled down to one trial game under the eyes of the IFA's

:23:26. > :23:28.elite performance director. We went right across the province. We have

:23:29. > :23:34.travelled 600 boys. We now see yourself at the view today watching

:23:35. > :23:38.a fantastic game. And within that, we have seen some outstanding

:23:39. > :23:42.individual performances. But will the process produce any size? The

:23:43. > :23:45.only way the programme will be judged a success is when the first

:23:46. > :23:50.kid walks out at the new national football stadium and all the

:23:51. > :23:53.quarters in the programme want that boy to be out there as soon as

:23:54. > :23:58.possible, because then it shows that we have done a good job and that the

:23:59. > :24:01.boys clubs have done a good job and that Michael and James' ideas are

:24:02. > :24:04.right. For those lucky enough to be selected, they do now is to emulate

:24:05. > :24:10.their heroes and play on the biggest possible stage. It would just be

:24:11. > :24:16.great to eventually come out and, like, be playing for my country.

:24:17. > :24:24.Just be a professional footballer anyway. I would love to play as an

:24:25. > :24:29.international. It is just my dream to do. I feel a bit of nerves but

:24:30. > :24:32.then once you get in just playing football, like any other match, and

:24:33. > :24:36.just enjoy it. At the end of the day, you just don't want to be there

:24:37. > :24:40.to make up the numbers, you ought to be there to compete. So a good

:24:41. > :24:45.opportunity. I am more than happy with the talent we have unearthed

:24:46. > :24:55.through the process. I think the process is absolutely, 100%

:24:56. > :25:00.delivered what we expected of it. We knew we would go down to 20 players

:25:01. > :25:04.and we have unearthed a couple of lads who potentially would not have

:25:05. > :25:11.come in but we are delighted. From 600, four boys admitted into

:25:12. > :25:14.the programme and the ambition is to repeat this trial for talent in

:25:15. > :25:18.years to come. Yes, a great scheme.

:25:19. > :25:29.Finally, rugby. The skipper, Rory Best, elected to step down from the

:25:30. > :25:32.role and two players will share the captaincy for the next game. A

:25:33. > :25:37.reminder that the big breaking news tonight is that the president of

:25:38. > :25:41.Olympic Council of Ireland, Pat Hicky, has been arrested for the

:25:42. > :25:44.alleged illegal sale of tickets. The 71-year-old, currently in hospital,

:25:45. > :25:48.has temporarily stood down from his post. These games, 14 Ireland, have

:25:49. > :25:52.turned into something of a nightmare. Starting with a better

:25:53. > :25:55.failing a drugs test and then yesterday's boxing controversy and

:25:56. > :26:04.this news today, which is made headlines all over the world.

:26:05. > :26:06.And if we have any update on that Pat Hicky story, we will have it on

:26:07. > :26:08.our 10:25pm news this evening. Cecilia Daly has

:26:09. > :26:16.the weather forecast. There is a little bit of rain on the

:26:17. > :26:20.forecast tonight. Because of the rolling and today, bringing some

:26:21. > :26:23.rain. Most of that has been falling in the West this afternoon but the

:26:24. > :26:26.latest radar picture show the rain making its way over towards Eastern

:26:27. > :26:33.counties as well. It will not be particularly heavy in most places

:26:34. > :26:36.and it is going to be a warm, humid night, temperatures in many areas

:26:37. > :26:40.staying in the teams. So quite humid, Misty and murky emblazoned

:26:41. > :26:44.Boswell first thing tomorrow. But it should improve as the day goes on.

:26:45. > :26:50.So, if you're up early tomorrow or heading to work, there will be some

:26:51. > :26:56.rain and you may need an umbrella. Mid to late morning, we will start

:26:57. > :27:02.to see it using. Likely to the season. Not all, especially where it

:27:03. > :27:05.tries to Britain. Still one or two some spots of rain, especially

:27:06. > :27:12.across North Coast and in the West as well. Start to see the best of

:27:13. > :27:18.the weather with some sunshine developing in these later in the

:27:19. > :27:24.afternoon and brightening up with. The best part of the evening coming

:27:25. > :27:27.in the evening ten. This was yesterday evening, some illegal

:27:28. > :27:33.tapping additions recently, with the offshore wind and fairly decent

:27:34. > :27:36.swell. Tomorrow evening, it looks like being put in a Titanic area.

:27:37. > :27:42.Warm and dry at least until midnight. But after midnight, things

:27:43. > :27:45.will start to change. Rain and freshening winds start to edge up

:27:46. > :27:49.from the sides and there's wet weather is an area of low pressure,

:27:50. > :27:53.a deep area of low pressure, which means unusually wet and windy

:27:54. > :27:56.weather for the end of summer, especially on Friday and the

:27:57. > :28:00.beginning of the weekend. Although it will improve as the weekend goes

:28:01. > :28:04.on. But Friday morning is not a pretty picture. Heavy rain and

:28:05. > :28:08.strong winds not great if you're on holiday. Tie everything down if

:28:09. > :28:11.you're in a caravan or camping. It will dry up later in the debugger

:28:12. > :28:14.will be some sharp showers on Saturday.

:28:15. > :28:16.Thank you for watching and goodbye. Take care.
