This is BBC Newsline and these are the headlines | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
The attempted murder of a police officer in Belfast. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
The Chief Constable describes the gun attack as reckless. | :00:20. | :00:27. | |
The other members of the community where it a massive risk as well and | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
the people who did this did not care whether or who they murdered last | :00:35. | :00:35. | |
night. Michelle O'Neill is the new Northern | :00:36. | :00:35. | |
leader of Sinn Fein Whenever I was growing up in Tyrone | :00:36. | :00:44. | |
as the teenager, if anyone had ever said to need that some stage in the | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
future I would be leading Sinn Fein in the north I probably would not | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
have believed them. What more do we know about Michelle O'Neill? I have | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
come to her home village in County Tyrone. | :00:58. | :00:58. | |
The biggest local manufacturer of wood pellets here shared | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
information about tariff changes in the RHI scheme before | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
A man who sexually assaulted young girls in a public swimming pool | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
Ireland look to some new faces in the Six Nations as Ulster | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
And we've got some rain on the way later tonight, | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
but that should keep the frost away. I'll be back with a full forecast. | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
Last night's gun attack on a police patrol was at a busy petrol | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
One of the officers was wounded in the arm and is said to be | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
The Chief Constable has described the shooting as reckless. | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
In a statement released in the last few minutes, | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
the police say they've recovered several bullets from other cars that | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Images taken in the immediate aftermath of the shooting. Packed | :01:41. | :01:58. | |
with cars underlines just how busy the garage was at the time. | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Automatic gunfire was spread across the forecourt, first aid equipment | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
still the ground. This is the security operation afterwords. A | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
police officer with his weapon aimed towards the main road. The policeman | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
was hit twice in the arm, he had an operation this morning and will | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
require further surgery. The Chief Constable spoke to the media shortly | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
after visiting him in hospital. We as police officers are citizens in | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
uniform. This officer was a member of the community. He was attacked | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
but other members of the community were at risk as well. The people who | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
did this did not care who they murdered last night, albeit it was | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
clear that the attack was aimed at the police officers on duty. The | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
shooting happened at around 730 last night. The area was still busy with | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
people, among them this eyewitness. We were coming around the corner and | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
shots were going off. We didn't know it was shot first, we thought it was | :02:58. | :03:01. | |
fireworks. It was consistent and I knew something was wrong. The | :03:02. | :03:11. | |
officer's body armour might have saved him from something more | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
serious. Dissident republican I being blamed. It was also described | :03:14. | :03:15. | |
as reckless. This threat against officers has been severe for some | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
time. We cannot be complacent about the nature of this type of attack | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
but it does concern me that others are trying to take advantage of the | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
political instability taking year at Stormont. A short time ago this | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
image was released of what the police think was the card used in | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
the attack. They are appealing for witnesses. -- car. | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney is with me now. | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
The officers were among customers, including children. | :03:42. | :03:43. | |
How fortunate were all in that station? | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
They were very fortunate indeed. This is a very busy forecourt, lots | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
of cards. These weren't small calibre handguns. High velocity | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
shots fired from an assault rifle. When they hit the target, they do an | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
incredible amount of damage. The police have said the body armour | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
worn by this officer was sent off for forensic investigation and it | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
was said that the bullet hit the armour. He was very fortunate | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
indeed. It does an incredible amount of damage these bullets. | :04:20. | :04:20. | |
The Justice Minister is concerned this attack may be being linked | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
What's the police service's assessment of that? | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
The police have always been concerned dissidents will try to | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
fill the political vacuum. We are not working on the bases this was | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
something organised quickly on the spot due to the collapse of the | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
assembly. We have to remember this is the series of attacks in Belfast | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
in recent years. There have been attacks and attempted attacks using | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
AK-47 rifles, home-made rocket launchers, home-made bombs, it is | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
the latest in a pattern rather than a one-off. The Chief Constable | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
George Hamilton said he does not believe this is opportunistic that | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
something well planned. Those who carried out this attack are likely | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
to have been watching these police officers for some time looking for | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
signs. The properly carried out some kind of dry run to check afterwords. | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
Not the kind of attack planned very quickly in response to what happened | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
in Stormont in the past week or two. Police will be concerned that this | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
has been in the planning for quite some time. Thank you. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
Sinn Fein's Michelle O'Neill said today she is "following in | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
The current Health Minister is replacing Martin McGuinness | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
as the party's leader north of the border. | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
At a news conference this afternoon she said she had never been afraid | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
of a challenge and never afraid to act. | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson takes at look at the new leader. | :05:38. | :05:48. | |
His report contains flash photography. | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
A new generation and a new era for Sinn Fein. The leadership role of | :05:54. | :06:00. | |
the assembly and to Michelle O'Neill. It is a big day and for me | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
when I was growing up in Tyrone as a teenager, if anyone had ever said to | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
me that at some stage in the future I would be leading Sinn Fein in the | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
north, I would not have believed them. I have worked with Martin | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
throughout all of my adult life. I have no doubt I am following in the | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
footsteps of the political giant. The man is a legend. He said if you | :06:21. | :06:29. | |
words himself. I haven't gone away, you know. | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
CHEERING I am overjoyed she is our leader and | :06:38. | :06:45. | |
overjoyed she is my leader. She will have my fullest wholehearted | :06:46. | :06:46. | |
dedicated and committed support. Michelle O'Neill knows that | :06:47. | :06:48. | |
all eyes are on her now. Her life may never quite | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
be the same again. She worked her way through the ranks | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
of Sinn Fein at Dungannon Council Here she is ten years ago arriving | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
in her new office at Stormont. My two kids are 13 and eight and | :06:59. | :07:11. | |
loving that I'm coming here today. All excited this morning and up | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
early this morning for money's first day at work. | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
She later became Agriculture Minister and clearly impressed | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
So much so that she was given the Health Ministry | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
at the last election, a spot she seemed to relish. | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
I am just delighted. She says she is also very proud to come from County | :07:27. | :07:36. | |
Tyrone and this is her home village. People in the village who know her | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
and let's leave that everyone does say she has three interests, her | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
family, the local GAA club and of course politics. She comes from a | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
strong Republican family in east Tyrone and as popular here. All the | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
best. Sinn Fein councillor runs the local pub. There is no better person | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
for the job. I think Arlene Foster needs to watch yourself. Michelle is | :08:06. | :08:13. | |
very capable. When it comes to crisis management, Michelle O'Neill | :08:14. | :08:14. | |
now faces her biggest challenge. The biggest manufacturer of wood | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
pellets in Northern Ireland has confirmed that it shared information | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
about proposed tariff changes in the RHI scheme two months before | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
they were officially announced. Balcas, based in Ballinamallard, | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
County Fermanagh said there was "nothing | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
sinister" in the move. It said it was not aware at any | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
stage that the information it had Here's our agriculture | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
and environment correspondent, Company-mac is a big player in the | :08:40. | :08:55. | |
wood pellet business and makes and sells 150,000 tonnes of boiler fuel | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
every year. In County Fermanagh and Scotland. It is an industry leader. | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Now it's emerged in July 2015 it circulated information that had been | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
given about proposed changes to the tariff several months before they | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
were publicly announced. Last week, the permanent Secretary of the | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Department for the economy doctor Andrew McCormick said e-mails he had | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
been sent anonymously should the industry knew in advance about the | :09:21. | :09:31. | |
changes. He said that information appear to have come from officials | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
in his department. The consequences are very serious because this shows | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
there was premature awareness of the potential for the tariff to be | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
reduced and the message went within the sector quick. The BBC has seen | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
two e-mails apparently circulated within the renewables industry in | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
July 20 15. Today, company-mac confirmed one of them had been | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
written by a member of its management at a time when | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
departmental officials were working on plans to make the scheme less | :09:54. | :09:58. | |
profitable. In the e-mail, the manager passed on information to one | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
renewables company which apparently came from another and were said to | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
have spoken to a senior departmental official. The Balcas manager said... | :10:05. | :10:20. | |
Referring to the possibility of a two tier tariff, the manager | :10:21. | :10:21. | |
added... Following questions from the BBC | :10:22. | :10:37. | |
about the e-mail, Balcas and a statement this morning and said it | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
was passing on information from the department that was responsible in a | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
scheme that had been heavily promoted. The company underlined at | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
no time was that information presented as confidential. | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Acknowledging that serious error in the scheme led to the potential for | :10:54. | :11:04. | |
abuse, it said... We asked the Department for the economy if any | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
action had been taken in respect of its official named in the e-mail. A | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
spokesperson said as the issue was under investigation it would be | :11:12. | :11:12. | |
inappropriate to comment. Assembly Members have been debating | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
the Economy Minister's plan to cut the projected ?490 million loss | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
to the public purse Our political editor Mark Devenport | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
is at Parliament Buildings. Is there any conclusion | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
yet to the debate about the renewable heat scheme, | :11:28. | :11:29. | |
Mark? No. This was a scheme at the start | :11:30. | :11:38. | |
debating last week when they thought the Secretary of State Michael | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
Stoney assembly quickly. They got extra time and were able to adjourn, | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
come back to the debate. Simon Hamilton's ideas today. They started | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
at half past 12 today. During the course of the day we heard the | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
special adviser came up with the basic idea of cutting the cost of | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
this scheme which is projected to lose ?490 million but will be a lot | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
less of the adopted these regulations. We heard from the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
former minister Jonathan Bell who was talking about special advisers, | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
he was accusing DUP rises of delaying the closure of the scheme. | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
He said the study about the senior GDP special adviser Timothy | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Johnston. Members on the DV benchers to my left kept open because Timothy | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Johnston's brother was installing the boilers. I am not getting into | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
who is what family member was in Stormont. If these members to the | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
left have information they are not going to try and felt it through me, | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
they've got to stand up and tell it like I had to stand up and tell it. | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
We got a complete denial from the DUP that allegation from their | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
former minister. They said Timothy Johnston's brother does not and | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
never has installed boilers, does not reckon the sector and has not | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
been involved in any renewable heat incentives. We challenged Mr Bell to | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
produce a shred of evidence outside the chamber. | :13:02. | :13:01. | |
DUP figures have previously declared interests in the scheme. | :13:02. | :13:04. | |
What's the development this evening with the Ulster Unionists? | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
Over the weekend, Jim Wells said four of his relatives were | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
recipients in the scheme. Tonight the Ulster Unionist Party said the | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
aunt and uncle of the MLA were also recipients in their family business | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
and they said a former Ella -- MLA had a wood pellet boiler in his | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
family business as well. The new Sinn Fein leader, | :13:29. | :13:29. | |
how is her appointment likely to go down with Sinn Fein, | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
their supporters and other It certainly seemed to energise the | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
Sinn Fein supporters gathered in the gallery here at Stormont when the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
announcement was made. It was presented as a generational change. | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
It will be a challenging time over the next three teams first Michelle | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
O'Neill she will have to go and fight an election campaign and it | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
will be interesting to see how the party divvies up the various demands | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
between manifesto launches and debates between her and other senior | :13:59. | :14:05. | |
members. Tonight another women party leader of the Alliance party | :14:06. | :14:07. | |
congratulated Michelle O'Neill saying she trusts she is willing to | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
work with others and see stability restored in these institutions. | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Michelle O'Neill answered, thank you, I am committed to making the | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
institution worked on the basis of equality, respect and integrity. | :14:20. | :14:23. | |

Cristian Diaz, who is 35 years old and originally from Spain, | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
moved to the town two years ago to improve his English. | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
Here's our south-west reporter Julian Fowler. | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
This is the man who abused three young girls while they were | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
swimming, arriving at court accompanied by his sisters. | :16:25. | :16:27. | |
The parents of his victims were also in court to see him sentenced. | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
As one mother told me afterwards, "He came | :16:32. | :16:33. | |
in here as Cristian Diaz, he's going out as a registered sex offender." | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
He touched the children, who were aged nine, ten and 11, | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
in three separate incidents two years ago at the Lakeland | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
The judge said the swimming pool was a place "where children should | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
have been able to feel safe and where parents allow | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
He said the attacks had left the girls "understandably confused, | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
distressed and upset at what had happened to them." | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
A defence lawyer said that Diaz had described what had happened | :17:04. | :17:05. | |
"as the greatest mistake of my life." | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
Diaz was given a 14-month sentence, half to be served in prison, | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
and was put on the sex offenders register for ten years. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
The parents of the three children watched as Diaz | :17:17. | :17:18. | |
shrugged his shoulders before being led away in handcuffs. | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
They thanked the police and also paid tribute | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
to their young children, saying that they were very brave | :17:28. | :17:29. | |
to come forward and should be very proud of themselves in helping | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
to stop further harm to members of the public. | :17:33. | :17:42. | |
An inquest is being held into the death of an 81-year-old | :17:43. | :17:45. | |
woman who was critically injured in a fire at a care home. | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
She was regularly given cigarettes and a lighter and supervised. | :17:56. | :17:58. | |
Kathleen Fegan was at Owenvale Court in west Belfast. | :17:59. | :18:00. | |
Kathleen Fegan was 81 and died any fire at Owenvale Court care home in | :18:01. | :18:13. | |

inquest was told on a number of occasions Kathleen Fegan was seen | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
smoking in areas she wasn't meant to be including her bedroom. The | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
inquest also heard that she burnt her underwear and trousers and left | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
cigarette buts burning in her bedroom then. Despite this, she was | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
regularly given more than one cigarette at a time and a lighter. | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
Giving evidence today was brother Michael who was acting manager at | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
Owenvale Court care home between 2010 and January 20 12. The coroner | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
enquired as to the appropriateness of simply having a conversation | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
about the dangers of smoking in a bedroom with a woman who had | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
dementia. Brother told the court he believed all steps were taken to | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
protect Kathleen Fegan. Asked if she fully understood the smoking rules, | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
her brother replied no. -- brother Newman replied, no, she was not able | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
to understand the rules. The inquest continues tomorrow. | :19:21. | :19:21. | |
The families of three children who suffer from a severe | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
muscle wasting disease want the Belfast Trust to tell them why | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
they're being denied access to a potentially life changing drug. | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
Another child has already started the treatment, which at present | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
Our health correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports. | :19:33. | :19:41. | |
Three-year-old Caoilte Fitzsimmons has spinal muscular atrophy or SMA | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
type 1, whcih means her breathing and mobility | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
She's one of four children in Northern Ireland who have it. | :19:47. | :20:00. | |
She has a really tough life. If she takes a cold, it could kill her. She | :20:01. | :20:11. | |
did take pneumonia. She was in hospital a couple of weeks ago and | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
was really bad. She just trips on. After years of trials, | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
a drug's become available Nusinersen arrived in | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
Northern Ireland in December. While one child has started | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
the treatment, the other families are calling | :20:26. | :20:27. | |
on the Belfast Health Trust to What's your favourite television | :20:28. | :20:43. | |
programme? Horrid Henry. Bye horrid Henry! We don't know what's going on | :20:44. | :20:51. | |
with the funding. Whether it's political. We not been told straight | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
answers. It's early days for this drug, | :20:54. | :20:53. | |
but it's understood to have been fast tracked not only due | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
to the severity of the condition but also because scientists | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
believe that the earlier these children get it, | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
the better impact it will have. But while their timing is crucial, | :21:02. | :21:04. | |
according to these families, no-one is rushing to | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
answer their questions. In an e-mail seen by the BBC, | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
a doctor tells a family For instance, to deliver the drug, | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
an anaesthetist, medical staff This would mean extra resources | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
at the Children's Hospital, The e-mail went on to say that | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
while the drug is free, in the future the ongoing | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
costs would be huge and the Children's Hospital staff | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
can't make that decision. It concluded that the current | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
instability at Stormont could mean I was angry, especially with | :21:37. | :21:47. | |
everything going on at Stormont just now. An election that is not even | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
needed. There are kids lives at risk. | :21:55. | :21:56. | |
The Belfast Healh Trust said the criteria around unlicensed | :21:57. | :21:58. | |

nine of their last 13 games in all competitions. | :22:47. | :22:48. | |
Ulster where playing for pride on Saturday but again it was their | :22:49. | :23:01. | |
inconsistency that proved to be their downfall. That is sensational | :23:02. | :23:07. | |
work. They showed glimpses of their attacking class. But ultimately the | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
French visitors powered past the Ulstermen. Is just not good enough | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
what is being produced there on the pitch at the moment. I don't know | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
why. If you think what we currently have is going to compete against the | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
top people. We just can't seem to do that. We have to do something | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
different, we can't continue to be the same mistakes. And when it came | :23:35. | :23:41. | |
to the crunch, it was mistakes from the home side that handed the | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
friendly win. Ulster have three weeks to re-evaluate and rest before | :23:48. | :23:50. | |

in what is a repeat We are coming at this again from | :24:28. | :24:40. | |
different places, both our teams will have changed in various places | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
since that game. I suppose we've learnt a lot over the last 12 | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
months. It is just another challenge. It's almost a derby game. | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
It's one I'm sure the people playing against each other will do well in. | :24:56. | :25:00. | |

injury. Cecilia Daly has the | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
latest weather details. It is on the change again. Still not | :25:12. | :25:25. | |
an awful lot of rain to come. It has been considerably drive. We've had | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
lovely sunshine over the weekend. That led to frosty nights. This | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
morning this is how much of County Down looked. Temperatures fell to | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
minus seven. This coming night it is all change because the cloud will be | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
increasing from the west, the breeze picking up and we've got rain coming | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
in mostly during the early hours, nothing too heavy that it will be | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
damp and blustery by the end of the night, also milder with no frost. | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
Milder tomorrow, no worries about scraping the car windscreen. You | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
will need your umbrella because that will be damp and drizzly through the | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
rush hour, grey and gloomy, low cloud over the health and fog over | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
high-level routes. From the temperatures first thing, well up | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
around seven or 8 degrees. Most of the persistent rain will move away | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
quickly, there could still be odd spot on and off during the day but | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
largely dry, quite breezy, breaks in the cloud up towards the north coast | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
but fairly cloudy skies. Temperatures will be in double | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
figures. We will keep that milder cloudy breezy weather. Drizzle here | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
and there. Temperatures staying up so no frost. On Wednesday, not an | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
awful lot changing, a brisk southerly wind, and blustery again. | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
A lot of dry weather to come and milder with temperatures up to 10 | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
degrees. Rain threatening the west late in the day, that is a weather | :26:55. | :26:58. | |
front. That weather front will stay to the west of us but you will | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
notice there are a lot of lines on the chart which means it will | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
continue to be fairly windy. Not much rain to come after tonight | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
through the rest of the week. The wind will feel cold as the week goes | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
on but it was still continued to keep the frost awake and it also | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
means unfortunately we will have a lot of cloud in our forecast as | :27:18. | :27:29. | |
well. Hopefully you got to enjoy the sunshine that was around the | :27:30. | :27:31. | |
weekend. Some milder weather on the way. Not much in the way of rain | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
after tonight but very little frost. You can also keep in contact with us | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
