A widow's anger as a Sinn Fein delegation visits her husband's | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
I heard my husband's brain was slashed open by a bullet. I saw the | :00:22. | :00:39. | |
reactions of the perpetrators. And it was sickening. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |

The widow of the murdered police officer Stephen Carroll has | :01:15. | :01:27. | |
expressed her anger at a jail visit by Sinn Fein politicians | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Three members of the Assembly's Justice Committee went to Maghaberry | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
last week and met Brendan McConville and another republican prisoner. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
Sinn Fein says doubts have been raised over the reliability | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
convicted of killing Constable Carroll. | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
Our political correspondent Enda McClafferty reports. | :01:51. | :01:57. | |
Constable Stephen Carroll was the first PSNI officer to be murdered by | :01:58. | :02:05. | |
dissident republicans. He was shot dead when his patrol was ambushed | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
when responding to a 999 call in 2009. Three years later, these two | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
men, Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton, were convicted of his | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
murder. Two years ago, they failed in a legal bid to have their | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
convictions quashed. At the time, the Lord Chief Justice said he and | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
his fellow appeal judges were satisfied the guilty verdicts were | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
correct. But McConville has convicted to protest his innocence | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
and last week a Sinn Fein delegation met the men in Maghaberry Prison. It | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
was led by Declan Kearney on the Justice committee. This is how he | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
revealed details of the visit, putting a video on his Twitter | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
account. We discussed the very serious concerns that relate to the | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
conviction of both of those prisoners. Today's visit represents | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
an opportunity for our party to become increasingly informed as to | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
the overall present in -- prison environment. But the visit has | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
angered Stephen Carroll's widow. I would ask anyone of them who was sat | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
on the court for 13 weeks that I sat in each and every day for 13 weeks, | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
at the original trial, I heard how my husband's brain was slashed open | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
by a bullet. I saw the actual gun that killed him. I saw the reactions | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
of the perpetrators, and was sickening. Today Pat Sheehan, a | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
former prisoner and he was part of the delegation, defended the | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
decision to meet Brendan McConville. I can understand that Kate Carroll | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
is hurt and that the suffering she has had to deal with has been made | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
worse by this. However, to go back to the point, everyone is entitled | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
to the highest standards of justice. No matter who they are or where they | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
are. The DUP have dismissed the visit as a stunt, which they say | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
will only cause more hurt for the Carroll family. These individuals | :04:11. | :04:17. | |
were murderers. They were convicted murderers, they have gone through | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
the Court of Appeal and the appeal was thrown out. In fact, one of | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
their sentences was increased. So I think we have to be mindful that | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
these individuals are convicted murderers. Whatever the political | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
fallout from the visit, Brendan McConville and John Paul Wootton are | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
still fighting to have their convictions quashed. They have taken | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
their challenge to the criminal cases review commission in the hope | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
that it will refer their case back to the Court of Appeal. | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
Ryanair is stopping its flights from the City of Derry Airport | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
to London Stansted from the end of next March. | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
The local council which runs the airport says it will also | :04:55. | :04:56. | |
lose its summer flight to Faro in Portugal. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
As Keiron Tourish reports, this latest cut to services | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
is being described as a devastating blow for the North West region. | :05:04. | :05:11. | |
Since 1999, Ryanair has carried 4 million passengers through the City | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
of Derry Airport, the most popular route to London Stansted with | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
120,000 passengers annually. But it is ending that service next March. | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Liverpool flights will also be reduced, although Glasgow will | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
continue operating at current levels. The council admits the loss | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
of the London book is a major blow. It is devastating losing a | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
connection to London. Obviously Ryanair have been at this pair | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
fought for some time and I'm pleased to say they will remain a major | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
player, operating next summer to Glasgow and Liverpool. But in terms | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
of the London connection, that is by no means lost. The plans that are in | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
place are to replace the London Stansted route with a much more | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
frequent, double if not triple daily service to one of the London | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
airports. At the airport -- at the airport got a future? Is this the | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
end of the airport? Certainly not. We are going to be involved in the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
process of securing an alternative carrier for the London route through | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
a public service obligation mechanism with the Department for | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
Transport in London. We are working on that at the moment. The council | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
says the airport is of critical importance to this region. | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
Generating as it does ?16 million each year is to stop the council is | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
currently in talks with the Stormont Executive and hopes to secure | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
funding of more than ?2 million for an airport development plan. | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
And on the topic of transport, the Executive has again ruled out | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
spending up to ?100 million on a train link between | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
Belfast and the International Airport at Aldergrove. | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
Our business correspondent Julian O'Neill is at | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
Jillian, why is this train link still seen as not justified? A | :07:03. | :07:16. | |
rather noisy Central Station! Essentially, there are two reasons. | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
Just as many Executive last look this issue in 2014, it feels that a | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
real went to Aldergrove airport is not economically viable until the | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
airport carries about 10 million as India's annually. Currently it is | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
doing about half that and it could be 13 more years before it has that | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
kind of target. Secondly, the Infrastructure Minister said that | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
road links have improved and will continue to improve and in his view | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
there is a decent bus service between Belfast and Aldergrove | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
operating about 50 times a day, carrying about 500,000 passengers | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
annually. For that reason he does not think it is wise to reopen a 20 | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
mile stretch of track between Lisburn and Antrim, which would also | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
include a train halt at Aldergrove. It has been estimated that anywhere | :08:07. | :08:14. | |
up to ?100 million. For passenger numbers to reach that, the real | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
benefits to passengers of introducing a real link are likely | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
to be limited. It is unlikely that they'll could provide a more regular | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
cost-effective link than what has been already provided by bus. The | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Minister speaking during a debate at today at Stormont, what was behind | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
that? Really, it is the continued growth of Dublin airport, one MLA | :08:37. | :08:43. | |
said that Dublin was sucking the life out of Aldergrove and many MLAs | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
questioned whether Aldergrove has adequate infrastructure in order to | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
help. Contrast that, they said, with Dublin airport, not the -- not only | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
getting a second runway but there are plans for a real link of the | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
male Belfast Dublin mine. Many MLAs pointed out that this is not just | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
about getting passengers to the airport, but a lot of communities | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
would benefit from the reopening of the line, which was closed 13 years | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
ago, but for the foreseeable future, the only mode of public transport | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
they will have is the boss. -- the bass. | :09:21. | :09:21. | |
You're watching BBC Newsline, still to come on the programme: | :09:22. | :09:23. | |
The poetic treasure uncovered in a Coalisland classroom. | :09:24. | :09:32. | |
The East Belfast MP Gavin Robinson has claimed that PSNI officers have | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
been asked to stop bail checks on a man accused of murdering | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
the prison officer Adrian Ismay in March. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Mr Robinson was speaking during a Commons debate | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
Here's our political correspondent, Stephen Walker. | :09:46. | :09:56. | |
During the troubles, Libyan Semtex was a key I wear a weapon. Libya has | :09:57. | :10:06. | |
compensated US victims of terrorism but UK victims were left out of the | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
deal. Today MPs call for that to change. Darren Robinson used the | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
debate to highlight the car bomb attack on prison officer Adrian | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
Ismay, in which Semtex was believed to have been used. The MP claimed | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
the PSNI were stopping Bale checks on the man accused of the attack. I | :10:25. | :10:31. | |
received information that PSNI chiefs sent an e-mail to the | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
officers not to conduct bail checks because there were far too many | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
complaints from the solicitor. Offending the sensitivities of a man | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
who is alleged to be the murder of my constituent. Tonight the BSI | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
responded, saying... -- the PSNI. In today's debate, Tom Elliott calls | :10:49. | :11:06. | |
on Martin McGuinness to help. Indeed, I believe the Deputy First | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
Minister could give support and help and assistance, but he is not | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
prepared to do that, it appears. If we are to deal with the past and | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
deal with these aspects of Libya, Martin McGuinness and his colleagues | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
need to come out and be absolutely clear where they stood. In response, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Sinn Fein said victims have a right to the truth and described Tom | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
Elliott' Marks as a stunt. Ian Paisley said those seeking | :11:34. | :11:35. | |
compensation were frustrated by delays. They are sick and tired of | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
the dilly-dallying and delays. Many of them are coming to, let's face | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
it, the latter years of their lives. The Southdown MP Margaret Ritchie | :11:51. | :11:52. | |
said victims' rights must take priority. What happened by Colonel | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
Gaddafi and the within... In supplying those weapons to the IRA | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
was both immoral, unacceptable and wrong. The Foreign Office minister | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
Tobias Ellwood said he wants to see compensation paid and years to raise | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
the matter when he meets Libyan ministers shortly. -- he is to | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
raise. The huge shared school campus | :12:16. | :12:16. | |
planned for Omagh won't be complete until 2020, | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
but today the first of the six The old Lisanelly army barracks | :12:20. | :12:21. | |
will eventually Our education correspondent | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
Robbie Meredith was in Omagh today Parade ground is turning into | :12:25. | :12:42. | |
playgrounds. As a vision slowly becomes reality. By the time it is | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
complete, six schools will share the site. The first school, with 140 | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
pupils with special needs, has just moved into its new building. The | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
principal teacher could not be happier. It is lovely to have a | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
purpose-built, right from the ground up words, from the design and | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
discussions and painting, that went into it, really about how children | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
learn. It has been literally a rise from the ashes. The school's | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
previous building was almost completely destroyed in a fire. It | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
has been a journey. It is about being together, now we have got the | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
building for those people. The school will eventually be joined by | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
five other schools. Christian Brothers Grammar school, Loretta | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
Grammar School... Behind me is absolutely vast site, | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
and when this is completed, it will not be integrated education. That is | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
for pupils with different backgrounds who is put together in | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
the same school. Instead, it will be a shared education campus. Pupils | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
will mix but they will still go to their own separate schools. The | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
Education Minister visiting the site today said there would be a chance | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
for pupils to share sports and classroom facilities. The | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
authorities have come together to develop public understanding and a | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
spot about there will be working out details of shared areas the campus. | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
The result is a great opportunity to concentrate effectively of Omagh | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
Omagh on the one site. The ?120 million campus is due to be finished | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
in 2020. Some pupils at this school will not the be the only ones | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
building over the next few years. New research suggests that | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
an average family on a low income needs to spend about 40% | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
of their weekly cash The survey on the Cost of a Healthy | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Food Basket was carried out by the Food Standards Agency | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
and the Consumer Council. Our reporter Martin Cassidy | :14:49. | :14:52. | |
has been counting the cost Would it not be lovely if we could | :14:53. | :15:05. | |
put fresh fruit and vegetables on our table like this all of the time? | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
But the reality for many households in Northern Ireland is that they | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
cannot simply afford to put healthy food on the kitchen table every day. | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Joanne Casey from the Food Standards Agency, you have done some research | :15:20. | :15:21. | |
which shows the extent of the problem? The research shows that | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
low-income households in Northern Ireland which need to spend a third | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
of their weekly take-home budget. On an acceptable food budget, | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
nutritionally as well as socially and culturally. That is difficult on | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
a low-income? Absolutely and we have looked at income scenarios for | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
pensioners as well as a family of four and a single-parent household. | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
In the evidence is that some people have to cut back on healthy food, | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
perhaps more expensive food, simply to make the budget meets? We have | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
found that food tends to be the flexible component of the household | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
budget. It is the food budget that is cut in order to make the other | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
household expenses. That can be cut in terms of the amount of money | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
spent and the nutritional value of the food. The reality is that food | :16:09. | :16:14. | |
poverty can happen to anybody. So because of maybe the loss of a job | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
or illness, anybody can find themselves in food poverty. I would | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
have raised this issue today at a conference with policy makers and | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
policy influences to really raise this to the height of the top of the | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
agenda. Thank you, Joanne. With that, back to the studio. | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
The death of a farmer in County Tyrone at the weekend | :16:38. | :16:39. | |
is yet another reminder of the dangers of working | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
To warn and advise the next generation of farm workers, | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
a new safety initiative has been introduced for first year students | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
at the Greenmount College of Agriculture, Food | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Believe it or not, a farmer is six times more likely to die at his | :16:54. | :17:05. | |
workplace than a construction worker. Here at College, first used | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
dunes are learning all about the dangers of working down on the farm. | :17:13. | :17:20. | |
-- here at College. Stephanie, if I can interrupt you for a second. We | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
can see a twisted body, which obviously is mimicking an accident | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
here with some fake blood, this is the sort of thing that can happen on | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
a farm, isn't it? It is one of the main accidents that do happen. What | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
we are trying to do is get the first year students to think about what | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
they would do if they walked into a situation and this was something | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
they saw. What do you think of all this? It is very interesting. I | :17:47. | :17:53. | |
would be able to tell the family what the risk is. Another | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
representation of an accident, this time a quad bike, in something used | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
on farms a lot more these days. With me now is Jim from the college. What | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
does this all mean from your perspective, teaching young | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
up-and-coming farmers? It is a great perspective, teaching young | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
opportunity to instil a message of health and safety of students from | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
the start of the courses and to instil that ethos and culture of | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
health and safety, particularly against the backdrop of agriculture, | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
where the have historically been a high level of injuries and | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
fatalities. In the past year, 27 people have died on farms in Great | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
Britain with four fatalities here in Northern Ireland. The latest was at | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
the weekend when a young man was killed on a farm near Dungannon. | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
As England and Wales get to grips with their first ever | :18:45. | :18:46. | |
plastic ?5 note, Northern Ireland has been | :18:47. | :18:48. | |
remembering the plastic Northern Bank fiver | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
As Will Leitch reports, the National Australia Bank, | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
which then owned the Northern, wanted something | :18:56. | :18:56. | |
The new Bank of England ?5 note has caused a stir in Great Britain but | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
in this case, Northern Ireland can say, been there, done that. The | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Northern Bank I pounds note was introduced in October 19 99. The | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
Australian owners of the bank were printing them in all their banks. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
For some of the time, it was a bit much! -- some at the time. Monopoly | :19:17. | :19:25. | |
money! What do you think of the new Northern Bank ?5 note? It is made of | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
plastic. You are having us on! Well, this is a sample of the plastic | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
Northern Bank ?5 note. They have put up to 2 million of these into | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
circulation. I think in truth most of us really rather liked them, we | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
felt they made us look a little futuristic, you know the kind of | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
thing. Look, I'm trendy! We wanted to commemorate the year 2000. As we | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
borrowed by an Australian company and they had polymer notes, it felt | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
it would be good to get the first polymer notes on the basis without | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
others would follow. But for us it's still created the buzz. The notes | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
were taken out of circulation in 2008, but they are still legal | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
tender. They were the only ones not replace after the Northern Bank | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
robbery of 2004. But such are the memories that they still attract | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
lots of attention on internet auction sites. Time, perhaps, to | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
take another look under your mattress! | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
I may just do that. 100 years ago today, the great | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
writer Roald Dahl was born, and as many schools remember him | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
on this special day, one in County Tyrone has | :20:36. | :20:37. | |
a particular reason to celebrate. Primate Dixon Primary School | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
in Coalisland has a poem penned Sara Neill has been | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
finding out more. It is the poem that was lost for | :20:46. | :21:08. | |
almost 30 years. Tucked away in a dusty drawer, this previously | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
unpublished rhyme by Roald Dahl was written for primary five pupils in | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
County Tyrone in 1988. Now this letter from the man behind Matilda, | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
the BFG and the Witches is on display for all to see. No one had | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
any idea of the replies since that time and four years ago one of our | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
teachers were squaring at a desk when she came across the envelope | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
with the letter, we couldn't believe the find that it was. It was | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
tremendous. Roald Dahl as links around the world, from Norway Wales | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
to Tanzania and his works have also had a lasting impact on pupils at | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
this primary School in Coalisland. I used to wear hats extra thick and | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
stop what is your favourite Roald Dahl book? The Witches. Have you | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
seen the letter? Yes. What do you think of it? I think it is amazing. | :22:06. | :22:13. | |
I was shocked when I saw it. It is really cool. I love it. Here, it is | :22:14. | :22:20. | |
just another way for the Sauber's magical words to come to life. | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
There are no plaques on the bomb when you can't do a sum, instead you | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
get strawberries and cream. With love from Roald Dahl. | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
Sport now, and Spain, Brazil and Belfast are all | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
on the to-do list for Mark Sidebottom this evening. | :22:40. | :22:41. | |
We'll begin in Belfast, but with a New Zealander. | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
Rodney Ah You is set to make his home debut | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
against the Scarlets later this week. | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
Weighing in a few pounds shy of 20 stone, as they'd say | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
On that note and by way of endearing himself to local fans, | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
the giant but jovial Kiwi's been brushing up on his " Ulsterisms". | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
BBC Newsline's Nial Foster has been to meet him. | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
He is big, bold and bubbly. Already -- already, Rodney Ah You is right | :23:10. | :23:20. | |
at home. Have you picked up any phrases? What about you, mate? One | :23:21. | :23:36. | |
more. Dead on! Clearly, Rodney is already picking up the lingo, but he | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
wants to do his talking on the pitch. I am really happy at the | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
moment. My wife and kids are settling in really well. My kids are | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
back at school. I'm finding life here happy. I first two games are | :23:51. | :23:59. | |
great to get on. Especially being away last week. But we didn't come | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
away with a bonus point we were hoping for. In his own words, | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
Rodney's start with Ulster has been dead on. | :24:11. | :24:12. | |
Collectively, the most revered and formidable strike force | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
That's the conundrum confronting Carnlough's Brendan Rodgers, | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
as he brings Celtic to Barcelona this evening for their opening | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
Suarez is on record as saying Rodgers was the best coach | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
he'd ever worked with - the respect is mutual. | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
I know working that Louis on his own used to occupy it back for defence | :24:34. | :24:45. | |
on his own. If you put name and messy-mac into that, it is a very | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
difficult task, big competition for Barcelona. -- Messi. They have won | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
it in the most recent past so I am sure they will want to win it again. | :24:59. | :25:02. | |
What I have seen in the team since I have worked with them is that they | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
have a real hunger and desire to do very well in every single training | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
session and every single game. Kick-off is at 7:40 five. | :25:14. | :25:14. | |
Tyrone man Phillip Eaglesham has been in action | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
He's attepmting to qualfy for the finals of the disabled shooting | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
A Royal Marine, six years ago while on duty in Afghanistan, | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
he contracted Q fever, the disease which is caused | :25:25. | :25:26. | |
leaving the 34-year-old father of three wheelchair bound. | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
We'll hear from him on tomorrow evening's BBC Newsline. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
And finally, local football, Glentoran host Glenavon | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
this evening in the Danske Bank Premiership. | :25:40. | :25:41. | |
Kick-off at the Oval is at 7:45 and we will have action | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
on our late BBC Newsline bulletin at 10:30. | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
Barra Best is always telling me the weather has a mind of its own. | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
So that's why the rain decided not to visit us today as we had thought! | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
Yes, we had lots of it in the forecast, but thankfully it turned | :25:56. | :26:08. | |
out drier. It would have been a difficult -- it would have been | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
different had it been the other way round. The rain decided to stay out | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
across the Irish Sea and will continue to do so for much of the | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
evening. Some will return in the early hours of Wednesday. Article | :26:19. | :26:24. | |
five, 11 to 12 for most of us. Tomorrow it will stay mostly cloudy. | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
12 scattered showers, especially during the first part of the day. | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
They will be very spaced out and through the day, plenty of drier | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
weather will develop, especially towards the South and East. We get | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
sunny spell is developing pushing him from the Irish Sea, 19 or 20 | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
degrees not out of the question. Even in the West, 18 or 19 degrees | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
by the middle of the afternoon. If you are travelling there will be | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
some heavy downpours in the Western areas, towards the South and East of | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
Britain very warm, 29 or 30 degrees. It will always be under that cloud | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
cover towards Scotland and Ireland and it will be noticeably cooler but | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
for us, 19 or 20 degrees at this time of year is not too bad. It will | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
stay mostly dry tomorrow evening, especially towards the East with | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
some sunshine before nightfall. Overnight tomorrow night, a milder | :27:18. | :27:21. | |
night, perhaps some fault developing as temperatures fall to 14 or 15. | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Thursday, not bad in terms of temperatures but more unsettled. | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
There will be outbreaks of rain. Not a complete wash-out, we do expect | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
some sunny spells. Temperatures in the West 16 or 17. Further East, 18 | :27:36. | :27:42. | |
or 19. Friday, just in time for the weekend, not too bad. There will be | :27:43. | :27:45. | |
a few showers but some sunny spells. Friday night, if you're heading to | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
any of the culture nights across Northern Ireland, we expect it to be | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
largely dry, perhaps a bit chilly. Wind is picking up on the weekend | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
and turning cooler by day. We will have the headlines at 8pm | :27:58. | :28:09. | |
and a late update | :28:10. | :28:10. |
