More empty corridors and classrooms as another teaching union | :00:13. | :00:20. | |
They have the result of the ballot in this afternoon. 77% of members | :00:21. | :00:36. | |
are prepared to take strike action to claim a further pay award. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Could we about to see more scenes like this | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
as Storm Barbara makes her way towards Northern Ireland? | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Storm Barbara, it is due to throw gusts of up to 70 mph so we have | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
staff on stand-by and if there is any damage to the electricity | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
network from the storm, we will be ready. | :00:56. | :00:56. | |
A new owner is checking in at Belfast City Airport as two | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
And also on the programme tonight: on a sale. | :01:00. | :01:08. | |

a look ahead to some and seasonal weather for the Christmas week | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
ahead... -- and seasonal. Schools are set to be | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
affected by more teachers strikes in the new year - | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
after a second teaching union voted Members of the Irish National | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
Teachers Organisation will stage half-day walkouts in a dispute over | :01:48. | :01:50. | |
pay, as our education correspondent Last month, some protested at school | :01:51. | :02:04. | |
gates in their lunch hours. In the New Year, 7000 teachers will be | :02:05. | :02:12. | |
walking out of them, on strike. 40% of members voted, which is a | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
reasonable turnout for a ballot of this kind. Four out of five voted | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
for strike action. It must be a wake-up call. The Minister must | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
realise that he and authorities are out of touch with the wishes of | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
teachers. They do not understand how angry teachers are. The education | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
minister said the strikes are futile and there is no more money in the | :02:35. | :02:41. | |
pot. How do you respond? Anyone would have heard that there appears | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
to be a lot of money about, it's a question of priorities. We think | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
that the Minister has his priorities wrong. All members of the union will | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
stage the first of what could be a series of half day stoppages early | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
next year. On the 18th of January. Making them | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
the second teaching union to announce strike action. | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
A walk-out by teachers from another union closed schools in Belfast just | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
a few weeks ago... We are worth more than 0%. Unions Warren have yet a | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
pay freeze last year and a 1% rise this year but there is a split in | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
how they have responded. The ATL have decided action short of a | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
strike. ATL is a modern and reflective union. They have said | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
that there are different ways of skinning a cat. First, | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
noncooperation with the education and training Inspectorate which | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
would apply to us. And the second part of industrial action would be | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
targeting needless accountability and administration and bureaucracy. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
The education minister said that the strikes were not in the interest of | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
children or teachers. But schools are set for more empty classrooms in | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
January. Warnings have been issued | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
about possible travel and power-supply disruption | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
as Storm Barbara is due NIE say they've escalated | :04:11. | :04:11. | |
an emergency plan, just in case. It comes as airports | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
prepare for their busiest BBC Newsline's Mark | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
Simpson reports. The calm before the storm. The | :04:18. | :04:29. | |
airports are busy but they are about to get even more busy. Just as the | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
weather is about to change... There are no signs of high winds yet, but | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
they are not far away... We have been in regular contact with the Met | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
office during the week. Storm Barbara is due to throw up gusts of | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
up to 70 mph so we have staff on stand-by and if there is damage to | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
the electricity network, we will be ready. For many, timing could hardly | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
be worse. The storm is due to hit Northern Ireland tomorrow morning. | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
It will be one of the busiest days of the year. There are a few empty | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
seats inbound from anywhere. People are coming home for Christmas and we | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
think it will certainly be the busiest day of the winter. We are | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
currently estimating 20,000 people on the day. What are the chances of | :05:20. | :05:26. | |
disruption tomorrow? There's a whizzy charts but we have two plan | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
for the worst and hope for the best. -- always a chance. The mood of | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
people today was of huge relief. We are glad to go back before the | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
storm, going back to Bristol and not a moment too soon. I don't think the | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
storm is due to hit until tomorrow? I was meant to travel tomorrow but I | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
am travelling today instead. You changed your plans? Yes. At this | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
time of year it is not easy or cheap. The truth is for anyone | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
travelling this weekend, there is nothing they can do about the | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
weather. It is simply a case of all eyes on | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
the skies. Mark since and, at Belfast International Airport. -- | :06:07. | :06:07. | |
Moxham said. So what can we expect | :06:08. | :06:07. | |
from Storm Barbara? Here's Geoff with | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
a quick look ahead. Good evening. Storm Barbara, we've | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
been speaking about her all week, not exceptional but she will be with | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
us from 7am tomorrow morning, bringing rain and strong winds. It | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
is an exceptional travel day, one of the busiest days of the holiday | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
period, and that is one of the reasons for the warning. | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
Downgraded to 70 mph, 30 millimetres of rain through the day, that's | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
enough to cause damage. As the rain comes in from Western | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Ireland, bringing rain and strong gusts with it, even ones that rain | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
clears out, we hold onto strong winds and then it is colder | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
temperatures too. The chance of wintry conditions by the time we get | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
overnight into Christmas Eve. Thank you. We will see you later on. | :06:58. | :07:04. | |
Belfast City Airport has been agreed for sale. | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
The deal is between two UK private investment companies and is likely | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
Here's our business correspondent Julian O'Neill. | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
The airport has had a good year. Passenger numbers and profits are | :07:12. | :07:21. | |
both up and this has been on the horizons for the last few months. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
Investment companies, with prospective new owners, looking to | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
complete the purchase early next year. No price has been disclosed. | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
The reason for that is partly due to the airport being sold as part of a | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
bundle of assets. My understanding there was that it would be valued in | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
and around ?100 million. Belfast City Airport did not comment on its | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
in pen sale but it is hoped that going forward that new owners would | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
bring investment and there would be improvements in car park facilities | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
and shops inside of the terminal building. | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
It last changed hands eight years ago. The new owner is coming into a | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
competitive environment with the city and Belfast international | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
rivalling one another for airlines and flights to similar destinations. | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
A pipebomb has exploded after it was thrown | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
A window at the property on Colin Brook Park was smashed | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
And in Coalisland, the police say a device was thrown at a house | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
No one was injured in either incident. | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
Solicitors representing the family of a Real IRA man say they're | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
"deeply concerned" as his inquest hit another stumbling block. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Kieran Doherty was murdered by the dissident group in 2010. | :08:49. | :08:50. | |
It's almost seven years since Kieran Doherty was shot | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
The 31-year-old's body was found naked and bound | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Before his death, he'd claimed that MI5 had tried | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
And Belfast Coroner's Court heard today that finding out more | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
about how he died isn't going to be straightforward. | :09:17. | :09:18. | |
A barrister for the coroner revealed that already heavily blacked out | :09:19. | :09:20. | |
Along with the PSNI's legal representatives, | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
they say that airing these documents in open court could pose a risk | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
They want them to be seen only in a closed court. | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
But a barrister for the Doherty family says it's not fair | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
that they haven't seen these documents - and the court shouldn't | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
be seen as going into closed session "willy nilly". | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
In a statement, the Doherty family's lawyer Paul Pierce said | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
they were told moments before the hearing was due to start | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
that the Crown Solicitor's Office wanted to go into a closed hearing. | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
There were three hours of discussion back and forward, | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
much of which we were not involved in at all, but it was only | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
on the basis of our objections to those closed hearings taking | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
place that the matter has resolved itself. | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
"We are deeply concerned about the way in which the state | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
is approaching these cases by attempting to have closed session | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
hearings and exclude the next of kin and their legal representatives." | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
Coroner Brian Sherrard adjourned the case. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
He expressed disappointment at the lack of concrete progress made | :10:25. | :10:26. | |
today. It's to be heard again | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
at the end of next month. By then he'll hope to have received | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
more redacted information - which Mr Doherty's family will also | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
have had the chance to see. # Didn't know today would be our | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
last... We meet the woman from Omagh whose | :10:42. | :10:52. | |
version of this song has been watched online more than 60 million | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
times. After a meeting of its board | :10:57. | :11:07. | |
last night, the Irish has decided to seek an urgent | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
meeting with the president of FIFA. The World Governing body fined | :11:10. | :11:14. | |
the local organisation nearly Under FIFA's rules, | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
the sanction cannot be appealed. Northern Ireland against Azerbijan | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
at Windsor Park last November the 11th - | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
Armsitice Day. Before kick off, a minute's silence | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
was held, wreath was laid. Fans held a poppy | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
display in the stands. But these acts of remebrance broke | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
Fifa's rules banning the display So footballs' governing body fined | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
the IFA just under ?12,000. Officials from the IFA | :11:42. | :11:50. | |
met last night. Afterwards, they released a | :11:51. | :12:03. | |
statement. They said they're disappointed | :12:04. | :12:06. | |
with the decision but wouldnt be They are, however seeking a meeting | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
with the President of Fifa seeking They said they did seek guidance | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
from Fifa about what was allowed to be displayed within the laws | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
of the game. Fans are urging the IFA not | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
to let the matter drop. We think that people are very | :12:19. | :12:29. | |
frustrated, because he saw that the IFA did all that they could. They | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
felt that the act of remembrance was very dignified. And it came as a bit | :12:35. | :12:43. | |
of a surprise that we were punished by Fifa. There is a lot of anger and | :12:44. | :12:45. | |
frustration. This issue will no doubt arise again | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
- so there needs to be clarity The City Centre manager | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
in Londonderry says he hopes new taxi ranks on the main | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
thoroughfares will help deal with the high demand | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
for cabs at peak times. There've been complaints | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
from the public that there simply aren't enough taxis to meet demand, | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
especially when the pubs close. Here's our North-West | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
reporter, Keiron Tourish. In the run-up to Christmas, it seems | :13:11. | :13:22. | |
demand for a taxi has never been greater. This extremely busy period | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
extends into the evening and weekends too, as people gathered to | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
celebrate together and have their annual Christmas parties. It can | :13:31. | :13:33. | |
make the task of getting a taxi very frustrating. If you go to William | :13:34. | :13:41. | |
Street, you could queue in weather like this here. There is no point. | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
At this time of year, it's really busy. It is very hard, very hard. | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
You wait for a long time. That's why I'm only walking. The Department for | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
infrastructure says that there are 1244 licensed taxis in the city with | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
four taxi ranks. One umbrella taxi organisation which represents up to | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
600 drivers in cysts that there are enough to service the city. -- | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
insists. People travel all night, and that a given time, all pubs | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
empty at one time. Staggered closing would help. Their plans to create | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
seven new taxi ranks in and around the city centre. We would to create | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
new taxi right and have them in designated areas which are well lit | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
and they are high profile so people go there at the end of the night. | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
The city centre initiative believes that change in the current licensing | :14:41. | :14:44. | |
laws could help the situation. It believes that the laws are out of | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
date and not fit to meet the challenges of the 21st century. They | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
believe staggered closing times would stop people all spilling out | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
onto the streets and looking for a taxi at the same time. The problem | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
with getting a taxi, especially late at night, is not unique to this | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
city. But those in the industry hope that new measures will ease | :15:08. | :15:08. | |
pressures at peak times. It's been revealed that 19.8 million | :15:09. | :15:31. | |
pounds in fines have still to be paid by people who were penalised | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
by the courts, the police or the The figure is a rise of more | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
than eight million pounds on last year and has been described | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
as exceptionally high. About half the fines | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
won't be recovered. We all got excited when Magic the | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
pony came to meet us here at the BBC. We will soon meet his owner who | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
stole the show at the London Olympia Arena. | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
A woman from Omagh has taken the music industry by storm | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Donna Taggart's version of the song 'Jealous of the Angels' has become | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
The young singer has also caught the attention of one of Ireland's | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
best known songwriters, Phil Coulter. | :16:08. | :16:08. | |
Our reporter, Aileen Moynagh, met the duo on tour together. | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
# Didn't know today would be our last... | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
The song that changed Donna Taggart's life. | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
I have a very busy life outside of music. I am a mother. Alongside | :16:26. | :16:34. | |
being a singer, I work in the health service. So life was very busy. It's | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
become even more busy since! Since Jealous of the Angels took off. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
It was during Donna's maternity leave that she put her recording | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
No one could have predicted what happened next. | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
So far it's had more than 65 million hits online | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
and brought her to the attention of a world famous | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
I was blown away by the phenomenal success. It's overused in the music | :16:59. | :17:12. | |
business but the only way to describe what has happened to Donna | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
is phenomenal. Donna was on my radar because I was sent a CD, she sent me | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
her first CD where she did a really good cover. I thought it was the | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
perfect opportunity to invite her along to my shows in the North, to | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
let her do her thing for my audiences. They have lapped it up, | :17:33. | :17:33. | |
of course they have. The lyrics are honest and they are | :17:34. | :17:43. | |
raw. It puts into words how a lot of people feel when they lose someone | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
close to them. It struck a chord with a lot of people and grief is | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
something which touches us all. The power of music is universal. I think | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
when the two come together, you have something which is very powerful. | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
But Jealous of the Angels is just the first step | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
up the musical ladder, now Phil Coulter, having written | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
for just about everyone from Elvis to the Bay City Rollers, | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
is planning to write for this young up and coming artist. | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
With a new song in the new year and guidance from a musical maestro, | :18:16. | :18:23. | |
in 2017 Donna Taggart could be saying goodbye to her job | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
as a health worker and hello to a whole new career. | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
And a local schoolgirl has stolen the show in London, Stephen? | :18:35. | :18:47. | |
Certainly did. Not often do we have a pony in the car park at the BBC | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
but we did today! Christmas has come a few days | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
early for Annie Gibson The 11-year-old Down High school | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
student dramatically upset the odds at this week's National Horse Show | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
in the Olympia Arena, to land the prestigious Pony Club | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
"mini-majors" pairs event - For a brief time this afternoon, the | :19:08. | :19:14. | |
backyard at Broadcasting House in Belfast became a stable yard, as | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
Annie Gibson proudly paraded her prize pony Magic. It's a warm | :19:19. | :19:28. | |
welcome to Annie Gibson! Just a few days earlier, she sat astride Magic | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
in front of a capacity London crowd. The 11-year-old had never competed | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
in the arena before and needed a fast and clear round to stand a | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
chance of winning. Representing the local ID club and with 7000 willing | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
her on, she delivered on the biggest stage of all. Everyone was standing | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
very still, then they announced that I won. Everybody shouted out and | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
cheered! How magic was Magic? A lot! She was definitely magic! Annie | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
Gibson! The atmosphere was unreal. What does it mean to you? It's | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
probably been the best Christmas that I have ever had! It was very | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
close! It was not .1 seconds, but she did deliver. So we are | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
delighted. When we got there. My friend pointed out the odds on Annie | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
were 8-1. We did not expect to win that we are absolutely delighted she | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
did. It is a lovely way to complete the year. The mini majors is a pairs | :20:41. | :20:50. | |
event where Annie competed alongside her senior partner and power. As | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
they embarked on their joint victory parade, the year rate people said | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
that it was a magical memory. -- the year eight. | :21:02. | :21:03. | |
Ireland rugby international Andrew Trimble has been ruled out | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
of Ulster's Guinness Pro 12 clash with Connacht tomorrow night. | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
He failed to take a full part in training. | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
Rory Best will captain the Ulster side, which shows 6 | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
changes from the team which lost to Clermont. | :21:14. | :21:15. | |
Best says winning the sold out inter-provincial game | :21:16. | :21:17. | |
I think that now, in the league, the whole game has to be massive for us | :21:18. | :21:32. | |
-- home game. We cannot afford to lose another game at home. We must | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
keep pushing, we are just outside the top four. We have that game in | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
hand but we need to keep making sure that we push. It has to be the next | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
goal, to get in there and then we can talk about moving further up the | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
table. We need to get these home games and pick up as many away wins | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
as possible. The awarding of the 2017 women's | :21:53. | :22:04. | |
Rugby World Cup to Ireland has prompted a growth of interest | :22:05. | :22:06. | |
in the sport here, where several young girls sides have | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
begun to spring up. Nikki Gregg reports from one such | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
club that started in Belfast this year which is hoping other local | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
teams will follow suit. Who are we? Malone! Not so much | :22:15. | :22:29. | |
Ireland's call but Malone's. They started their club for girls this | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
year and it has proved a big hit. It's getting the sport out across | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
the province. There is so much sport out there at the moment. | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
Judo, ballet, drama on Saturday mornings. It is difficult to have | :22:43. | :22:47. | |
goals here who are not committed to something else. But rugby is | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
inclusive and shoots everyone of all shapes and sizes. | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
There is something on the pitch for you, no matter what you do. Nice and | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
low, Poppy! Well done. This generation have role models as the | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
senior women's game flourishes. They are all going mad for it. It is good | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
to see. At the end of games, when they come up to you, you can tell | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
that they look up to you as a player. They want to be able to play | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
and put on the green jersey which is great to see. Are you ready, show | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
me! That is all -- awesome. The other challenge is | :23:20. | :23:29. | |
finding other girls teams to play. There are not many teams for this | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
group. In the years gone by, kids have come down and played mini | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
rugby. If a girl came and she was P five, she would be with the boys. | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
They did not enjoy that. They come down here now on a Saturday. Play | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
the fundamentals of the game. You can see their confidence going | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
through the roof. Ireland hosting the women's World Cup next year | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
should help James find more budding local players. | :23:58. | :24:03. | |
Kingspasn will be one of the venues for the Women's World Cup - | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
and we're live there tomorrow night ahead of the big Ulster | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
We are battening down the hatches with the weather coming in! | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
Let's find out if the rugby is going to go on ahead! | :24:18. | :24:23. | |
He might need his thermals! All week we have been talking about Storm | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Barbara. She is with us tomorrow. She's not all that is going on. It | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
is a busy time for weather. Overnight tonight, this westerly | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
breeze will come around from the south. Introducing mild air ahead of | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
the arrival of the lady herself! When Barbara gets here tomorrow | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
morning, she brings gusts of 70 mph, less than we initially thought. She | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
is not an exceptional storm but it is an exceptional travel day with a | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
lot of people on the road. As we go through the morning, strong gusts | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
coming. 30 millimetres. It is unpleasant for driving. As this rain | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
comes through, we have strong, westerly breezes driving in. It is | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
really going to be a rough end to the day. Cooler air moves in through | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
the evening. Temperatures fall away overnight, some turned wintry over | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
the hills. If you are heading to the big match, wrap-up! It could be | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
chilly, 4 degrees at kick-off and a chance of showers there as well. It | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
could be pretty miserable for some time. Once Storm Barbara is out of | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
the way, it's not calming down yet! Another storm coming in towards | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
Christmas Day. This line here is a warm weather front and behind it, we | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
have milder air which will be with us on Christmas morning. You could | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
wake up to temperatures of 12-13 . It cooler day on Christmas Eve. Rain | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
comes through, this warm front behind it, and more mild air. The | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
good news is that we have this weather warning in place on | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
Christmas Day and the good news is that on Boxing Day, things will calm | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
down. Then you can take a lie down in a darkened room! | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
Now, we're going to leave you with another Christmas carol. | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
Tonight it's the turn of the junior choir from Parkhall Special School | :26:20. | :26:22. | |
in Lisburn with "we'd like to tell you a story." | :26:23. | :26:24. | |
# A wonderful story that happened long ago | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
# A wonderful story that happened long ago | :26:32. | :26:47. | |
# A wonderful story that happened long ago | :26:48. | :27:09. | |
