republicans found near Several searches are also continuing | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
in the south of England where Ciaran Maxwell | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
was arrested yesterday. It's also emerged that before | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
leaving Larne to join the Marines, the 30-year-old had been the victim | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
of a loyalist attack. Mervyn Jess has more | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
on the background to the arrest The search operation in southern | :01:43. | :01:56. | |
England gathered pace today as more officers at the Devon and Cornwall | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
police force were drafted in to help with the investigation. The search | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
is focusing on a house near the city of Exeter in Devon, where Ciaran | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Maxwell is believed to have stayed. Officers are also checking an area | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
of nearby woodland. Yesterday, Ciaran Maxwell's hometown of Larne, | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
two houses were searched in connection with this enquiry. It is | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
understood that laptops and mobile phones were seized for examination. | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
This morning, we returned to the scene of yesterday's researchers in | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
Larne put up I knocked on the door of one of the properties that were | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
searched yesterday. I spoke to a woman inside and asked her if she | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
had any comment to make on what was happening. She told me, they didn't | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
know what was happening. Ciaran Maxwell has been arrested in England | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
and we are here in Larne. We are in the dark. The 30 Royal Marine was | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
arrested yesterday in connection with an anti-terrorist enquiry | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
involving London's Metropolitan Police. It is understood | :02:55. | :03:03. | |
intelligence officers from MI5 were also involved. It is still to be | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
linked to the discovery of two terrorist arms loads near Larne | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
earlier this year. The hides were found to contain bumming tee bombing | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
and done implements and an improvised rocket. It is expected -- | :03:22. | :03:33. | |
bombing and gun implements. He has also posted pictures of military | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
exercises he has been involved with as a Marine. Yesterday was the first | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
time that Ciaran Maxwell featured in a news story. 14 years ago, a | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
teenage Ciaran Maxwell made the news when he was attacked K in attacked | :03:47. | :03:58. | |
here in Ciaran Maxwell. -- attacks here in Larne. Police have searched | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
the marine's lock at his military base in Somerset as part of the | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
ongoing investigation. We are searching for items in connection | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
with the affects for which the man has been arrested. It is an early | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
days of the investigation. Devon police say the search operations | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
will continue through the weekend as more officers arrived to help | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Around 30,000 pupils in Northern Ireland have | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
There's been another rise in the number receiving A* to C | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
grades, as our education correspondent Robbie | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
Letting all the tension out after two years of hard work... | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
And Shauna wasn't alone in getting good news | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
at Little Flower Girls School in North Belfast. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
I got a bee in my science, and a in sports studies, an a in maths. | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
Many are planning to follow A-levels after GCSEs, | :05:09. | :05:09. | |
I'm training to work with dogs, I'm going to train to groom them and | :05:10. | :05:19. | |
have my own shop doing that. The performance gap between girls | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
and boys has widened, too. Undoubtedly there is a difference | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
with maturity, but I think things open up | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
and equal out during time. That is very important to remember | :05:27. | :05:38. | |
that this is a measure at 16 when we met again at 18, things have evened | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
out. But results across Northern | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
Ireland have risen again. The proportion of entries awarded A* | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
to C grades increased to over 79% while the number attracting the top | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
A and A* star grades Those in proving results will always | :05:48. | :05:59. | |
spark debates about standards but the people here seem delighted their | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
counterparts across Northern Ireland have again outperformed those in | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
England and Wales. This is just a good news story. | :06:10. | :06:11. | |
And that was the Education Minister's message. | :06:12. | :06:12. | |
We have seen very high standards improved upon year on year, and also | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
Northern Ireland is proudly leading the way across the United Kingdom. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
Pupils at Oakgrove College in Derry were also happy, | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
although some did have concerns about how their family | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
It's kind of like I have to continue because my siblings have | :06:24. | :06:37. | |
It's something that we shouldn't have to worry about. | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
But on a day of good news for many, one pupil at Hazelwood College | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
in Belfast had extra reason to celebrate. | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
So, I got the results I need to go on and study A-levels and do ICT, | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
biology and it is also my birthday today. | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
We will be hearing from the American rock band, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, | :07:00. | :07:13. | |
head of their big gig in Belfast tonight. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
The police say they are treating an attack on a house | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
in North Belfast last night as a hate crime. | :07:20. | :07:21. | |
A window in the house at Atlantic Avenue was smashed | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
A family from Slovakia were there at the time | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
but no one was in the room where the window was smashed. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
A neighbour said that while police went to the scene last night | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
after the window was broken, a pipe bomb was not | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
discovered inside until 9:30am this morning. | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
He said he carried it out of the house and called the police. | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
The area was cordoned off for several hours until the device, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
which was described by the police as viable, was dealt with. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
The family say they are now hoping to move out of the area. | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
More than 30,000 people waited more than a year to see a hospital | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
consultant according to new figures from the Department of Health. | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
That's an increase of 6% on this time last year. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
At the end of June 2016 more than 225,000 people | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
were on the list to see a consultant for the first time. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
There were also 96,000 waiting for medical tests or procedures. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
70,000 patients are waiting to go into hospital. | :08:18. | :08:19. | |
We need to do better. The Department of Health needs to do better. We | :08:20. | :08:40. | |
need to be realistic. Rather than a short-term solution, we need long | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
term stable budget solutions to allow the departments and senior | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
officials to manage the budget so they can be better prepared for | :08:49. | :08:49. | |
these waiting lists. A woman from Dungannon has been | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
jailed for three months after pleading guilty to making | :08:53. | :08:54. | |
false statements to the police about The court heard that Dorothy Gardner | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
from Killycanavan Road wasn't at a hustings event in 2015, | :08:58. | :09:03. | |
where she alleged Mr Wells made A court heard today that this woman | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
wanted to 'get Jim Wells'. The 49-year-old mother tried to do | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
that by making false It centred on this event | :09:18. | :09:19. | |
in Downpatrick ahead of the 2015 general election when Mr Wells | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
was accused of making homophobic He stood down as Health minister | :09:25. | :09:32. | |
following the controversy Dorothy Gardner told police | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
she was at the event with a group of protestors She claimed she'd | :09:37. | :09:39. | |
heckled Mr Wells and had She claimed she'd | :09:40. | :09:42. | |
heckled Mr Wells and had The court heard today these | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
allegations and others were found to be false and no video | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
was produced by Ms Gardner. In fact, police established | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
that she wasn't at the event. At a previous court appearance | :09:52. | :09:55. | |
Ms Gardner admitted Outside court Mr Wells said he hoped | :09:56. | :09:57. | |
it sent a message to others. I think it is important today to | :09:58. | :10:13. | |
remember that politicians cannot be set up and destroyed as the result | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
of totally false allegations. It goes way beyond what happened to me. | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
If people are going to make complaints about politicians they | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
should at least be truthful. We have the right to have the truth said | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
about what we say. The judge said that Ms Gardeners | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
statement not only wasted police time but damages the justice system | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
and the prospects of those She was sentecned to | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
three months in prison. In Brazil to officials from the | :10:34. | :10:56. | |
Olympic Council of Ireland have arrived at Rio's police headquarters | :10:57. | :11:00. | |
to meet detectives. They were there to cooperate with the investigation | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
into the alleged mis-selling of Olympic tickets. The arrested | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
official's legal team has made a second application for bail. His | :11:10. | :11:12. | |
lawyers will ask the court to place him under house arrest, instead of | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
holding him in prison. He has denied any wrongdoing. | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Hundreds of mourners gathered in west Belfast today | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
for the funeral of Mary Murphy, the widow of Joseph Murphy who was | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
Joseph Murphy's remains, which were exhumed last year, | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
were released by the coroner this week so that the couple | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
Our reporter Aileen Moynagh was at today's funeral. | :11:33. | :11:39. | |
In August 1971, Joseph Murphy was injured in shootings involving | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
the Parachute Regiment in Ballymurphy. | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
He died 13 days later, on August 22nd, in hospital. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Three days ago, also on August 22nd, his widow Mary Murphy died. | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
Mr Murphy's body was exhumed last October as part | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Today, side by side, the couple, reunited in death, were brought | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
into Corpus Christi Church near their family home. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
Mary Murphy campaigned for decades for answers to questions | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
Early last year, the Murphy family said they believed he was shot | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
at a military barracks after being injured and that | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
a bullet may still be lodged in his leg. | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
Then, in a review of evidence into the Ballymurphy shootings | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
Coroner Jim Kitson granted an exhumation order of Mr Murphy's | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
body because of the "exceptional circumstances" of the case. | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
A bullet was recovered by investigators. | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
This week the coroner allowed Mr Murphy's remains to be released | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
so that he could be buried with his wife. | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
During the requiem mass, Father Darach Mac Giolla Cathain | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
told the congregation of God's perfect timing in that both Mary | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
and Joseph's deaths and burials coincided on the same dates | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
He also talked about how Mrs Murphy dealt with the loss of her husband. | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
Joseph and Mary Murphy were buried in a family plot | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
Aileen Moynagh, BBC Newsline, west Belfast. | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
Government papers from the 1980s, just released | :13:23. | :13:23. | |
by the Public Records Office, describe Sinn Fein's Gerry Kelly | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
as an extremely dangerous and dedicated terrorist. | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
The files also highlight that senior Northern Ireland Office civil | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
servants were relieved when the Dutch courts decided | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
to return Mr Kelly and another IRA Maze escapee Brendan McFarlane | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
Our Political Editor Mark Devenport reports. | :13:43. | :13:51. | |
IRA bombs and loyalist murders in the 1980s, it was the men of | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
violence who appeared to set the agenda but these government files | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
reveal tentative efforts to get talks underway. Representatives from | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
the parties did meet in secret in Germany in 1988. The government | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
thanked the organiser, a German clergyman, at a meeting for months | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
later, despite harbouring some doubts about his knowledge. He | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
seemed a well-meaning man. Reading what he said, he talked about the | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
need for an Irish dimension, he talked about the need to know the | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
views of the republican movement, the Unionist concerns, but in many | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
ways he had a grasp of our political reality then. The documents say a | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
fit person at the talks had a difficult role to play. Representing | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
the views of the republican movement but remaining acceptable to the | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
Unionists. The file doesn't name this fifth man, but subsequently he | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
was revealed to have been the priest Alec Reed. It was a different area, | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
although some of the characters mentioned in these archives are | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
still active in politics today. The files contain a report on the duck | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
's extradition hearing, for two IRA Maze escapees, Gerry Kelly and | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
Brendan McFarlane. A Northern Ireland Office assessment describes | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
Gerry Kelly, a north Belfast MLA as a in extremely dangerous and | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
dedicated terrorist who presents a continuing escape risk. The | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
secretary of a tap to invoke a prerogative of mercy because some of | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
the men's offences went extraditable but when they were due to be | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
returned an official concluded that the case had been a success. It will | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
be the first time that terrorists had been extradited from a foreign | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
country to Northern Ireland. Throughout this period, the | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
government struggled with how to address deprivation in areas like | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
West Belfast, where Catholic male unemployment was at 47%. He came | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
across one strongly worded document from the head of the Northern | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
Ireland civil service. The head civil servant talk about the ghetto | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
mentality. Less than civilised behaviour of the inhabitants and the | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
fact that they would be killing terrorism with kindness. Some would | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
say, do you have two kill British soldiers to get government support? | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
In the end, it becomes a major issue and money is part of it. Several | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
files and 30 government's problems with the McBride principal's | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
campaign on job discrimination. The Secretary of State, Peter Brooke, | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
Verity Cabinet colleagues that the implementation of tough and radical | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
employment laws would be crucial to the success of the government's | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
Northern Ireland policies and that perceptions abroad, especially in | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
the USA. We meet up with the rising stars in | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
the world of golf. Over the next two days some | :16:51. | :17:01. | |
of the world's biggest music stars take to the stage in Belfast | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
at the annual Tennant's An estimated 40,000 people | :17:05. | :17:06. | |
are expected to descend Hello, we are backstage here at the | :17:07. | :17:27. | |
Tennant's Vital Festival. It is a lovely evening for an outdoor music | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
festival. Fans are pouring in behind me here. The music has already got | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
underway. Some of the support acts are on stage. Of course, the main | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
act, the headline is tonight, the one everyone is waiting to see, Red | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Hot Chilli Peppers and I am delighted to tell you that their | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
drummer joins me now. Chad, welcome to Belfast, welcome back, you have | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
played here before. What do you love about an audience here? Do you get a | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
good reaction from them? I must say, the Belfast audiences are some of | :18:02. | :18:05. | |
the best and it sounds like I'm, you know, saying some kind of cliched | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
line but they are so passionate. They are so wonderful. We played | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
here, the first time was in 1992. I remember it being one of the wildest | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
gigs we ever did. People jumping on the balconies, just having the | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
greatest time. Belfast are a big punk Rock city. What are your | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
memories of the gig in 2003? We filmed a concert there. It's a | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
beautiful setting for a concert and the people, Irish people, they are | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
so passionate, so wonderful. Fans of all ages, people support you from | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
young to older. What can they expect to hear? Some of your new songs, | :18:57. | :19:07. | |
some of the old ones, too? We will play a little bit of the Ireland and | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
the new. Just we are going to play our hearts out like we do every | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
night. We have been doing a lot of festivals but we have had a little | :19:18. | :19:22. | |
break, two weeks off, this is our first show back. Everyone is really | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
excited to play again. We will feed of the energy of the crowd and play | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
some of the old tunes and we are excited about playing some of our | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
new songs as well. We have four new songs and a bunch of others. Thank | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
you for joining us tonight, Chad from Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They | :19:47. | :19:49. | |
are expected on stage at 9pm tonight. I think Catherine has found | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
a new friend! Looks like great fun they're! | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
A superintendent in the PSNI has become a the talk of Bangor | :19:57. | :19:59. | |
and beyond after becoming a poster boy of an online ad from the police. | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
The Facebook posting is to encourage women to join the PSNI in the hope | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
they might bump into him in the canteen. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
The latest weapon in the PSNI recruitment drive. | :20:12. | :20:30. | |
The Bangor pin up boy with the focus on attracting women | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
Attention ladies, our bobby seems to be causing quite the impression. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
When it comes to sexism of any kind it is always banter and fun and when | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
they objectify people and talk about body images of various kinds, | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
whether attractive or not, they always say it is a bit of fun but | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
actually it isn't and I think it can be hurtful to people. | :20:54. | :20:54. | |
As an organisation we have embraced a significant amount of change. | :20:55. | :21:06. | |
Would this latest advertisement encourage you? | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
I don't see why not put up he looks handsome. Would you fall for it? If | :21:11. | :21:23. | |
30 years younger maybe! It is encouraged women, ladies it says | :21:24. | :21:32. | |
there, too joined the. RIGHT. Is it sexist? No, I don't think is at all. | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
If there was a woman there, without the sexist? I don't know. If there | :21:39. | :21:50. | |
was a woman, would it encourage you? Who knows, who knows! He isn't | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
single, he is married with two children. He has been inundated with | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
requests for interviews but he is not saying anything according to the | :22:02. | :22:02. | |
press office. Motorists heading into Belfast this | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
morning on the M1 had to deal with something | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
on the hoof this morning. A number of horses appeared | :22:07. | :22:08. | |
on the carriageway. Commuters were held up on the city | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
bound lane as the police tried Gavin Andrews is here | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
with the sport. Rory hit the headlines earlier | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
in the year when he said golf would not be a success | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
at the Olympics. The world number five was among | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
several high-profile withdrawals from the tournament over concerns | :22:32. | :22:34. | |
about the Zika virus. He also criticised golf's place | :22:35. | :22:36. | |
at the Games, saying he wouldn't Well now, he's had something | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
of a change of heart. Pleasantly surprised. There were | :22:40. | :22:54. | |
more people at the golf than there were at the athletics. It was good | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
to see. It really was. It seems like there was a great atmosphere down | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
there. I thought golf was going to get lost a little bit. It was away | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
from the village, I thought it was going to blend in with everything | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
else and be, not forgotten about, but just one of a lot of sports that | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
are there obviously. To see the turnout and the crowd of everything | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
I was glad to be proven wrong somewhat. | :23:19. | :23:20. | |
Rory has just teed at the Barclays championship in New York, | :23:21. | :23:23. | |
the first tournament in the PGA Tour's Fed Ex Cup end | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
The 27-year-old has played two holes of his opening round. | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
Graeme McDowell was out earlier today. | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
The 2010 US Open champion has shown signs of a return to form in recent | :23:38. | :23:46. | |
weeks and finished the day one over par. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
Naturally, because of the success of our major champions | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
there are hundreds of youngsters from across Northern Ireland | :23:51. | :23:52. | |
with dreams of emulating McIlroy and McDowell. | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
This Summer many have played in the Irish Junior Open series | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
and we caught up with some of them at the grand final at | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Over the last few months, the best players from as young as 1618 have | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
been practising hard to make it to the end of season finale. The Irish | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Junior open series of five events gives them a taste of what life is | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
like for the pros. -- age 60 age 18. I've learnt so much from it. You can | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
see the tee boxes, it is so well laid out. If you win you are | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
rewarded. There are more people here. It is just a better way of | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
playing. Live scoring, it feels like you are on the tour. It is cool. The | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
organisers have crunched the numbers and made it bigger. There are so | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
many talented golfers coming to play these events. We decided to expand | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
it this year. With 800 competitors travelling from all over the UK and | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Ireland, some from Dubai even. It is going in the right direction. These | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
players hope to reach the top but there is one important thing to | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
remember. Have fun! It is the main thing about golf. The aim is to have | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
fun. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here. Sound advice from nine-year old Sean | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Ryan, the champion golfer of the year. And there he is, small man, | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
big trophy, a name to look out for. I'm sure there are a few barbecues | :25:28. | :25:38. | |
going this evening as the sun sets on this lovely day, lovely warm | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
sunshine we had. The weather forecast is next. | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
Everyone wanted to be at the beach today, including the carols who are | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
frequent visitors here. We have had some amazing sunsets over the last | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
two nights. This was last night on the shores of this lake. Tonight he | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
Sun site might not be as good everywhere. That is because we have | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
this area of cloud and heavy showers in the West, which will move | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
eastwards between now and midnight and may affect Mayor before Red Hot | :26:16. | :26:25. | |
Chilli Peppers have finished. There could be some heavy downpours. In | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
the early hours many places will become dry again. Not as clear as | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
recent nights so tomorrow we not expecting things to be sunny from | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
the morning. There will be some showers around, particularly in the | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
West. But a lot will fade away as the morning goes on. There will be | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
more sunshine developing and we will still have some decent temperatures | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
tomorrow, just not as warm as the last couple of days. 18 or 19 | :26:50. | :26:56. | |
Celsius, maybe 20 in County Down. Cruel and fresher in the breeze. 23 | :26:57. | :27:04. | |
Celsius today, 18 tomorrow -- coralled and fresher in the breeze. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
Not a bad day, though. Tomorrow evening if you are heading to the | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
second night of keno it will be just as warm and dry as it is this | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
evening. We are expecting showers, though, in the North West. There | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
will be brightness from time to time, some sunshine around on | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
Saturday. On Sunday, we have a few things going around. This looks like | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
it should be dried. Most of the showers in the north-west. If you | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
are taking part in this cycling event it isn't too warm, probably a | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
good thing. Fairly dry, just not as good at the weekend. | :27:41. | :27:44. |
