The First Minister says Sinn Fein's plan to deal with the renewable heat | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
scandal could move things forward, but again refuses to step aside. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
Sinn Fein insist that's a key part of their proposals | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
to find a solution to the political deadlock. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
What now for people with renewable heat boilers? | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
A good outcome with -- would be that responsible installers are able to | :00:36. | :00:55. | |
carry on because we have investments to pay back and the scheme | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
identifies those abusing it. In other news, 83 jobs | :00:58. | :01:01. | |

said Sinn Fein proposals for an investigation | :01:24. | :01:35. | |
into the controversial heating scheme provide a basis | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
for moving forward - except for their insistence | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
that she should step aside. A short time after Arlene Foster | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
issued her statement, a senior Sinn Fein Assembly Member | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
said there cannot be any agreement There is some flash photography in | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
our first report this evening. Our political correspondent, | :01:52. | :02:03. | |
Gareth Gordon, has been following another day | :02:04. | :02:04. | |
of turbulent exchanges. I'm looking forward to it. Sitting | :02:05. | :02:15. | |
back and enjoying it. Everyday is a school day, even politicians need | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
help getting answers to difficult problems and today Arlene Foster | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
took time out from other pressing matters to attend the opening of a | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
school. On display, an ability to bend over backwards. Cache of four | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
ash continues to smoulder, about the only thing Sinn Fein and the DUP | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
agree on is the need to avoid a public enquiry. Sinn Fein want a | :02:41. | :02:47. | |
judge led panel to investigate the RHI affair. It would have the power | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
to compel witnesses to appear and access documents, a preliminary | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
report would be ready in one month. A final report in three. At the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
heart of the times of reference of the need for Arlene Foster to stand | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
aside. They have clearly set out their stall in reference to that not | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
happening. Today the only lace Arlene Foster was stepping away from | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
was that new school. Will you be accepting Arlene Foster -- Sinn | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
Fein's terms of reference? No. Tonight she said that with the | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
exception of stepping aside, her party believed to Sinn Fein | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
proposals provide the basis for taking an investigation forward. | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Officials had raised some technical issues but said the First Minister | :03:39. | :03:46. | |
there don't appear any obstacles. In response, Sinn Fein said nothing had | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
changed. Arlene Foster must still step down. As for the DUP's plan for | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
tackling the heating scheme's overspend, the Sinn Fein Finance | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Minister today wrote to the DUP economy minister saying I will not | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
allow the botched management of this scheme to be exacerbated by a | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
botched solution. The only member of the Executive who doesn't belong to | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
the DUP or Sinn Fein today gave her verdict on the First Minister's | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
position. Her handling of this has been appalling. You're able to | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
demonstrate humility without actually admitting culpability. But | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
neither is Claire Sugden backing Sinn Fein calls for Arlene Foster to | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
step aside. It looks like we have run out of road, the DUP and Sinn | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Fein are in stalemate and stand-off. On that basis, why wait ten days? If | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
we are going for an election, let's get on with it. We do not have a | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
budget, we do not have a Brexit plan. Both these things are needed | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
before March. If we have an election, who will run the country? | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
Be closer to a breakthrough? No. The only mess being tangled at Stormont | :05:08. | :05:09. | |
is the one left by its Christmas tree. | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
So is there any chance of the two main Stormont parties avoiding | :05:12. | :05:13. | |
a complete breakdown in the Executive? | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
In the Assembly's Great Hall is our political editor, Mark Devenport. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
What do you make of the tone of Arlene Foster's latest response to | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
Sinn Fein's proposed investigation? Her statement was more conciliatory | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
than some comments from the DUP recently. The fact she said she | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
could work with the thrust of Sinn Fein's proposals, but there were no | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
insuperable problems to this investigation going aired, you would | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
think would provide the basis for compromise, but all things are not | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
even because on this essential point that Sinn Fein are making that she | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
should stand aside during a preliminary investigation, she is | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
not budging. She said that would amount to her opponents being judge, | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
jury and executioner, having her tried before the enquiry gets | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
underway. There have been repeated calls for her to step aside. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Repeated refusals from Arlene Foster and the DUP that she will do so. | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
Where is there room for manoeuvre? This is the problem when you get | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
down to a blunt command and a blunt refusal. There is very little | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
wriggle room. Sinn Fein feel they are under pressure because they did | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
not support the opposition parties called before Christmas for the | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
First Minister to be excluded from office for a longer period, for six | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
months, so they are saying now that because the DUP went ahead with a | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
statement despite the Deputy First Minister not wanting that to happen, | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
because they didn't support the opposition they should at least be | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
given this, that she should stand aside for a four week period when | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
the investigation starts. The DUP leaves that would prejudge the case. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
It's hard to see any constructive ambiguity around that point. What do | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
you think will happen in the next few days and weeks? Gerry Adams will | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
make a speech over the weekend so we will look to see if there is any | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
indication there of what Sinn Fein makes of what Arlene Foster has had | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
to say. We will then get business tabled and decided upon next week in | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
the Assembly. It looks like the crunch time could be the start of | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
the week after that when Sinn Fein may get to debate the motion on the | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
kind of a investigation they want to hold. | :07:30. | :07:30. | |
Next week, the focus will be on the participants of the RHI | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
scheme as a deadline passes after which they may be named. | :07:34. | :07:36. | |
But not everyone who's receiving a subsidy is raking in the cash | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
and some are angry that they're all being portrayed as scammers. | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Here's our agriculture and environment correspondent, | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
Conor Macauley, on the plans to identify those in the scheme | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
Lynn and Jonathan Mitchell a run a business in County Down supplying | :07:46. | :08:02. | |
fire and security services. They got into the RHI scheme early. They took | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
out a loan to cover the cost of their ?12,000 boiler. The ?3000 a | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
year subsidy they get covers the cost of their palates and loan | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
repayments. They are getting free heat in their offices, but they are | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
not heating the warehouse and they are not backing up big profits. A | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
good outcome would be that the responsible installers are able to | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
carry on because we have to pay back and that the scheme identifies those | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
abusing it. As part of the plan to weed out fraudulent users, the | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
authorities want to name participants, but that is being | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
contested. A new organisation has been set up to represent the | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
interest of people with these boilers. They are sending out | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
letters to people in the scheme saying that if they are | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
participating as private individuals rather than limited companies, it | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
could be a breach of the Data Protection Act for the Department of | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
the economy to go through with its plan to name them. It's a little bit | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
more uncertain for companies, but there has to be a legitimate use | :09:07. | :09:22. | |
for the publication of the information anyway. I would ask why | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
is the department wanting to publish that? It's going to turn into a | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
witchhunt. The information Commissioner's office in London said | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
publication might be permissible. It said... | :09:31. | :09:44. | |
There's been a lot of debate about whether the letters accepting the | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
boilers onto the scheme are a legally binding contract. We showed | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
one to an expert in contract law who once lectured the economy Minister | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
Simon Hamilton. His view, it is a contract and legislation to change | :10:02. | :10:05. | |
it will need careful consideration. The more detail there is in the | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
legislation, the better the legislation will have a chance of | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
surviving judicial scrutiny. When someone says we can reduce the cost | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
to zero, is that optimistic to say the least? I think he's living in | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
cloud cuckoo land. There will be a cost, a price will have to be paid. | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
It could be some time yet before we know what that price will be. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
Up to 83 jobs are under threat at an engineering | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
Administrators have been called in to Schivo NI, which supplies | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
Our North-West reporter, Keiron Tourish, has more. | :10:38. | :10:49. | |
The Schivo NI group bought the plant around 18 months ago and said that | :10:50. | :10:55. | |
the time that it had plans for expansion. The plant, which makes | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
part of the aviation industry and has aerospace company bombarded yet | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
amongst its clients, employs a total of 83 star. But now there are real | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
fears for those jobs. The Waterford -based group says that | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
unfortunately, despite its best efforts and considerable investment, | :11:15. | :11:18. | |
it was unable to turn things around here. The ministry to is have now | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
been called in and they will carry out a thorough review of its | :11:21. | :11:35. | |
operations here before advising on the best course of action. One union | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
said the unions is yet another huge blow to the industrial base in the | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
north-west, a view echoed by one MLA. Judging by what's happened in | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
this instance, the future doesn't look good. The discrimination | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
against the North West is in actual fact. Despite all the political | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
changes, Derry is still at the tail end of the queue when it comes to | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
investment and preferment and economic matters generally. There's | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
a fight to be carried out. While the plant could potentially be sold as a | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
going concern, remains a real fear over its future. | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
Members of the Irish National Teachers' Organisation have | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
begun industrial action in a dispute over pay. | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
It involves its members not taking part in any school inspections. | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
Two other teaching unions will begin similar action later this month. | :12:18. | :12:29. | |
It's a measured form of action which will have little effect on pupils | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
and schools as possible. Our members want to continue to provide a good | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
service for the parents and children in their care. What we are looking | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
for is something that will have little effect on the kids, but a | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
major affect on the Department for Education. | :12:50. | :12:50. | |
Police are investigating after a report of a serious | :12:51. | :12:52. | |
sexual assault on a woman at a layby near Lurgan. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
It happened at Tannaghmore North Road at around 6.30 last night. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
The attacker, who is aged between 30 and 40, is described as around five | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
He was wearing dark clothing and spoke with a local Lurgan accent. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
The Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry has submitted its report | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
to the First and Deputy First Ministers. | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
The report will be formally published on 20th January | :13:16. | :13:17. | |
following a statement by the chairman, Sir Anthony Hart. | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
Public hearings at the HIA inquiry ended in July | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
Plans to ban smoking in private vehicles carrying children are to be | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
discussed in a consultation running from today until the start of March. | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
Assembly members voted in favour of introducing the ban. | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
The proposed changes do not apply to e-cigarettes and vaping. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
A swan brought down an overhead cable in County Fermanagh this | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
afternoon leaving 7,000 homes and businesses without | :13:52. | :13:53. | |
The live power line hit a cars parked in a petrol | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
Here's our South-West reporter, Julian Fowler, whose report includes | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Staff inside the shop in Enniskillen described a bang and a flash as the | :14:07. | :14:23. | |
lights went out and a power line came down. They said one car park to | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
the petrol station forecourt lit up as the live cable fell on top of it. | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
It also struck a van with two men inside. They were told to stay put | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
until engineers arrived to turn off the electricity. It happened after a | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
Swann struck an overhead power line. It was killed, but given the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
circumstances of a live power cable falling onto a petrol station, this | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
was a dangerous situation which could have had catastrophic | :14:56. | :14:56. | |
consequences. Local scientists are involved | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
in major research project It has the worst survival rates | :15:00. | :15:01. | |
of the most common cancers - only 3% of patients live longer | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
than five years. Sara Neill has been | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
to the Mater Hospital in Belfast to find out more | :15:08. | :15:09. | |
about the research. It's one of the most difficult | :15:10. | :15:26. | |
cancers to detect and treat, but it's hoped that research being | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
carried out here in Northern Ireland, along with more traditional | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
treatments like the surgery carried out in this theatre, could help | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer live longer lives and better | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
lives. Mark Taylor, you are a pancreatic surgeon, why are the | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
survival rates so low? The survival rates are so low for pancreatic | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
cancer mainly because patients present at a late stage. They've had | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
the tumour growing in the pancreas for some time and symptoms that | :15:58. | :16:07. | |
appear are often at that late stage. When we see the patient and they've | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, quite often they are at a | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
stage where we are not able to take the tumour away. Because of that | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
late presentation, quite often the survival is extremely poor. | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
Professor, you're leading the research at Ulster University. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
What's your team doing to improve survival rates? We're building on | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
existing technology we've developed at the university where we use | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
microscopic bubbles loaded with oxygen and drugs and we can deliver | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
these directly to the tumours and make them more success but tall to | :16:39. | :16:46. | |
treatment than radiotherapy. We're hopeful that the combined effects of | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
both these treatments together will lead to greater improvements in | :16:52. | :16:54. | |
tumour reduction and hopefully allow more patients to get to surgery. | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
What difference would this make to people diagnosed with pancreatic | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
cancer? It's important that research at a laboratory level and clinical | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
activity are in tandem. If we can reduce the tumour down to allow us | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
to successfully remove it in its entirety, that will definitely | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
improve the overall outcome for this dreadful condition. It's hoped the | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
research being carried out here could be available to surgeons | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
within the next five years, making pancreatic cancer are much more | :17:32. | :17:32. | |
manageable disease. The former World Cup-winning Brazil | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has thanked people here for making him | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
feel so welcome during his Big Phil, as he's affectionately | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
known, has been speaking to BBC What on earth is big Phil from | :17:41. | :17:58. | |
Brazil doing in Belfast? The former Chelsea manager is now coaching in | :17:59. | :18:04. | |
China, so why were he and his family wandering around Saint Georges | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
market in Belfast this afternoon? I came before Christmas because I have | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
a son that works in Lisbon. Near Belfast. -- Liz Byrne. My holidays, | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
I stayed here for 15 days. After this time, I came back to China. And | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
my team. You were here for 15 days? Yes. I like very much Belfast. | :18:34. | :18:43. | |
Londonderry, Dublin, the people are very nice. They are lovely. A lot | :18:44. | :18:55. | |
colder than Brazil! Yeah! I'm blue! He's been travelling around by bus | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
and was pictured on the two won two gold line. It turns out he wasn't | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
going to meet anyone, he just wanted to look around the city. Everywhere | :19:04. | :19:10. | |
he is gone, football fans have recognised him. But he doesn't mind. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
They are good. I want to say thank you. My holidays have been very good | :19:16. | :19:22. | |
in Belfast. And the weather didn't spoil it. After all, it's not | :19:23. | :19:28. | |
Brazil, its Northern Ireland. And I'm sure he picked up a few | :19:29. | :19:30. | |
bargains! Now sport, and a stern test | :19:31. | :19:31. | |
for Ulster as they look Yes, Ulster start this evening | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
in sixth place in the Pro12 table, four points off | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
the last play-off spot. Defeat to Leinster on New Year's Eve | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
saw Les Kiss' side lose ground and also come under fire | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
for their performance. Tonight they face another | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
in-form team, the Scarlets, away in Wales, and are looking | :19:51. | :19:52. | |
to answer their critics. Ulster's momentum has been stop | :19:53. | :20:05. | |
start this season. The pressure is on to put a run together in the | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
Pro12. A waiter informed clinically, something has to give. Scarlets have | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
a great record at home, they are forth at the moment so there's a lot | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
at stake for both sides. If we lose, we are creeping down the table. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
Everyone is very focused and we have to go there with the right | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
mentality. We can score tries and that's the mindset we need. They did | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
win when they met earlier in the season in Belfast, but there's been | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
criticism of the team after six defeats in the last ten games. The | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
defeated Leinster on New Year's Eve hurt them most. Really frustrated | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
watching it. You can understand people spending their hard earned | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
cash on tickets to watch us. I think we can definitely understand them | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
and we feel their frustration. We are definitely doing our best and we | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
are all very proud every time we pull on the shirt. We know what it | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
represents and who we are playing for. We will try to turn it around | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
and hopefully get a good performance and a win. We've been in worse | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
positions over the years. The players have to come through it. We | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
don't go over the top when we're winning when we're losing. We've | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
done a lot of good things this year and it's not about throwing in the | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
towel. We've been fighting in every game. It's all in our hands. The | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
ingredients are there for a classic. The game is live on BBC Two tonight | :21:38. | :21:40. | |
from 7:30pm. The Friendship Four ice hockey | :21:41. | :21:42. | |
tournament in Belfast attracted more The event, which sees four American | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
college teams compete here in Northern Ireland, | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
has now been renewed Tonight, BBC Newsline can reveal | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
the sides that will be coming across the Atlantic and they include | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
one of the biggest names Boston University beating union | :21:55. | :22:07. | |
College last night in a dramatic 5-4 overtime finish. A multiple national | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
champion, the college has confirmed it will come to the fast in 2018. | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
This has been building for a while. We've had discussions and talks | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
about our schedule and availability for a couple of years. We're | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
thrilled we can finally make it happen. Everybody has said it's been | :22:25. | :22:29. | |
a great cultural experience for the people of Belfast and the | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
participants. It's an event that Scott momentum and it will continue | :22:33. | :22:44. | |
to grow. This year 's teams will be Clarkson, Maine, provenance and RBI. | :22:45. | :22:46. | |
The following year includes Yale, union, Connecticut and Boston | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
University. The quality of teams, including six former champions, | :22:50. | :22:52. | |
shows have the tournament has grown into years. I remember back when we | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
pitched the idea, it was purely an idea, to where we are now. We've had | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
two unbelievable deliveries of the tournament, over 20,000 people in | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
both years and now we have eight unbelievable teams coming in the | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
next two years. Pleased we don't have to explain it any more, people | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
understand it. It's an event people want to want to go to and we even | :23:15. | :23:21. | |
have some early participants who want to come back. We are creating | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
new hockey fans. With this renewal of the tournament, the organisation | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
has shown its commitment to the Friendship Four and with schools | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
like Boston University on the way to Northern Ireland, fans can continue | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
to see the highest quality college hockey. | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
The fifth round of the Irish Cup is always one of the big days | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
In many cases, it's a chance for the junior sides to take | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
on Premiership opposition and cause an upset. | :23:49. | :23:49. | |
But the tie drawing much of the attention tomorrow | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
is the clash between Belfast rivals Glentoran and Linfield at the Oval. | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
They have historically been Belfast's big two, battling it out | :23:55. | :24:07. | |
for silverware. Between them they've amassed 64 Irish cups, but this year | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
one of them will fall at the very first hurdle. A game we'll relish. | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
Big two, derby match. We'll be ready to challenge, it's away from home. | :24:20. | :24:25. | |
We'd prefer a home tie, but beggars can't be choosers. We'll prepare and | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
get ready and hopefully put ourselves in the next round. If you | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
seriously want to win the competition, you have to beat the | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
best teams. It will be a really big challenge. It's one we have to look | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
forward to. There's no motivation required. It's what every player | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
should strive to play in. We want to be challenging for games that matter | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
and these games really matter to our fans. The rivalry is as intense as | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
ever. It's not just a place in the next round at stake, there are also | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
bragging rights up for grabs. BBC final score will have all the | :25:03. | :25:13. | |
updates tomorrow. Let's get the weather now. Let's | :25:14. | :25:26. | |
hope it's not the weather for fish or ducks! Definitely not whether for | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
ducks. Very little rain in the forecast. We have a big area of high | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
pressure sitting over us at the moment that's controlling the | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
weather. It's giving us lost of cloud, misty and murky conditions, | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
but the temperatures by night, seven or eight so serious. -- Celsius. No | :25:44. | :25:51. | |
frost as we going to the weekend. Tomorrow is pretty much the same as | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
today. Milder and mainly dry. There will be times when the cloud as they | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
can offer rain or drizzle, but mainly on high ground and it won't | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
amount to much. Some low cloud and Misty and murky conditions which | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
could cause issues first thing on the roads, but otherwise are not bad | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
day. Ten or 11 Celsius so very mild. If you're travelling tomorrow, it's | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
a similar picture. Lots of cloud, largely dry conditions. Maybe some | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
sunshine in parts of the south-west, but towards the north coast, rather | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
grey, cloudy and at times a bit damp with the onshore breeze in. As for | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
tomorrow evening, we hold on to pretty much the same conditions. The | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
Misty and murky conditions persist, the odd spot of drizzle and then | :26:43. | :26:45. | |
tomorrow night will be another mild night for the time of year. Tim of | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
seven or eight Celsius. No frost to worry about as we get into Sunday. | :26:52. | :26:57. | |
Sunday could self, Groundhog Day. We do it all again. High pressure | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
remains in control so a lot of cloudy conditions but largely dry. A | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
small chance of the odd bit of wet weather, but it will not amount to | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
very much. Most will have a dry weekend. Ten or 11 Celsius by the | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
middle of the afternoon. Monday, a bit of a weather front heading our | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
way. It will bring some rain and windy conditions. They will stay | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
with us into Tuesday, but temperatures in the high single | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
figures by day. We avoid the frosty nights as well into the middle of | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
next week. Not too bad! You can also keep in contact with us | :27:33. | :27:34. | |
