Tonight's top stories: The Londonderry man who went

:00:16.:00:20.

to Syria is found not guilty on

:00:21.:00:22.

The jury could not reach a verdict on three

:00:23.:00:25.

The latest on the renewable heat controversy.

:00:26.:00:28.

Now it emerges tens of thousands of pounds

:00:29.:00:30.

have been paid out to dormant companies.

:00:31.:00:33.

Police raid farms on both sides of the border as new figures

:00:34.:00:36.

And the debate continues over the border,

:00:37.:00:42.

Both British and Irish governments agree there should be no

:00:43.:00:45.

And also on the programme: The rugby game between two grammar schools

:00:46.:00:50.

The Northern Ireland executive did not agree its Budget before the

:00:51.:01:03.

collapse of the Assembly. I am in Downpatrick to find out what that

:01:04.:01:05.

means for those helping vulnerable people.

:01:06.:01:06.

I will be back with the details along with the

:01:07.:01:13.

A jury in Londonderry has been discharged after failing to reach

:01:14.:01:21.

a verdict, on three charges, in a case linked to alleged

:01:22.:01:23.

Eamon Bradley, who's 28, from Melmore Gardens in the city,

:01:24.:01:29.

was found NOT GUILTY of having explosives with intent

:01:30.:01:32.

However, the jury told the judge they couldn't reach a verdict

:01:33.:01:41.

on charges of attending a terrorist training camp and receiving training

:01:42.:01:45.

in the making or use of weapons for terrorism.

:01:46.:01:47.

Eamon Bradley said he got on a bus in Derry three years ago, travelled

:01:48.:01:58.

to Dublin and then got a flight to Istanbul. And that he said he

:01:59.:02:01.

crossed the border into Syria to help rebel fighters in the war. His

:02:02.:02:05.

interviews with the police were read to the jury during the trial. This

:02:06.:02:11.

trial is still down to a number of issues, among them was Eamon Bradley

:02:12.:02:15.

recording facts when he told detectives he went to Syria to help

:02:16.:02:19.

rebels or was he a fantasist who might never have been in Syria at

:02:20.:02:24.

all? The prosecution say Eamon Bradley told the truth about the

:02:25.:02:27.

events in question and that there was no evidence he was a fantasist

:02:28.:02:31.

or that he makes things up. But questions were raised about details

:02:32.:02:35.

of what it told the police. On the one hand, he said he went to Syria

:02:36.:02:39.

to join the Army of Islam and said he fought in three battles, two

:02:40.:02:47.

against Government forces and one against IS. But he said he never

:02:48.:02:51.

fired a shot, never used a grenade and hid under the sun -- under a

:02:52.:02:57.

tree during the battles. The jury deliberated for five hours and when

:02:58.:03:00.

it returned, they found Eamon Bradley not guilty on three charges

:03:01.:03:04.

of high explosives. Then they resumed their deliberations and a

:03:05.:03:07.

short time later returned to tell the judge they could not reach a ten

:03:08.:03:12.

to one majority verdict on the three charges. As a result of the hung

:03:13.:03:17.

jury on the three charges of attending terrorist training in

:03:18.:03:21.

Syria, this case will now go back to the Public Prosecution Service. They

:03:22.:03:24.

will then decide if there should be a retrial on these three charges.

:03:25.:03:28.

A judge has said it would be premature to hold the trial

:03:29.:03:31.

of man who's on the run without him being present.

:03:32.:03:33.

Damien McLaughlin from Ardboe faces charges in connection

:03:34.:03:35.

with the murder of the prison officer David Black in 2012.

:03:36.:03:38.

He was due to go on trial next week but hasn't been seen

:03:39.:03:41.

David Black was killed on his way to work. The following month, Damien

:03:42.:03:57.

McLaughlin was arrested and charged in connection with the killing. The

:03:58.:04:01.

40-year-old from Ardboe faces a number of charges, including aiding

:04:02.:04:05.

and abetting the murder which was claimed by dissident republicans. He

:04:06.:04:10.

was granted bail in May 2014, but in November last year, he stopped

:04:11.:04:13.

reporting to police. He has not been seen since and a European warrant

:04:14.:04:18.

has been issued for his arrest. His trial was due to begin here on

:04:19.:04:22.

Monday and today, a prosecution barrister made a highly unusual

:04:23.:04:31.

application that the trial should proceed in the absence of the

:04:32.:04:34.

accused. He said it appeared that the man had absconded ahead of a

:04:35.:04:36.

pending trial. Mr Justice Tracy said he was mindful of the fact that

:04:37.:04:39.

delays in this case are causing distress to the family of the

:04:40.:04:44.

deceased. The given the ongoing investigations and fact a European

:04:45.:04:47.

arrest warrant has been issued, it would be premature to proceed with

:04:48.:04:50.

the trial in the absence of the accused. That decision will be

:04:51.:04:56.

reviewed again at the end of April, unless that is, Damien McLaughlin is

:04:57.:04:58.

arrested or hand himself in. You're watching BBC Newsline,

:04:59.:05:00.

still to come on the programme: We join a cross-border police

:05:01.:05:04.

operation targeting the theft It's emerged that

:05:05.:05:06.

a number of companies registered as being dormant

:05:07.:05:16.

have been claiming tens of thousands of pounds

:05:17.:05:18.

from the renewable heat scheme. A BBC programme has obtained a list

:05:19.:05:21.

of all recipients which is currently Our business correspondent

:05:22.:05:24.

Julian O'Neill joins me. The Nolan programme

:05:25.:05:27.

obtained this list. Well, this list was obtained by the

:05:28.:05:42.

Nolan programme and enlist every beneficiary under the scheme and how

:05:43.:05:46.

much they have been paid. It is the same lift the Department for the

:05:47.:05:51.

economy has wanted to publish but has been prevented from doing so in

:05:52.:05:56.

full by a court injunction. Some of the information contained is very

:05:57.:05:59.

interesting. It shows a small number of dormant or inactive companies

:06:00.:06:04.

have been getting receipt of tens of thousands of pounds under the

:06:05.:06:11.

scheme. It also shows that one company received a colossal quart of

:06:12.:06:14.

?1 million for running just one of boiler over a period of 18 months.

:06:15.:06:19.

This is many, many, many times what should be possible to claim for one

:06:20.:06:23.

boiler, even if it was running 24 hours a day.

:06:24.:06:25.

in the context of what's already known about the RHI scandal?

:06:26.:06:32.

Bred we already knew the scheme was badly designed and overgenerous and

:06:33.:06:36.

I think these revelations will add to the sense it was also being

:06:37.:06:41.

abused. We know that fraud is suspected and the audit office told

:06:42.:06:45.

us that in a report a number of months ago and I think this will

:06:46.:06:50.

simply adds to questions about the validity and legitimacy of some

:06:51.:06:54.

payments. The programme did ask companies for an explanation. They

:06:55.:06:59.

were not given a one and threatened with legal action should they choose

:07:00.:07:03.

to name the companies. I think we will get some answers in the months

:07:04.:07:08.

ahead. Remember, there will not just be a public inquiry, but the

:07:09.:07:12.

Department for the economy has pledged to have an audit on every

:07:13.:07:15.

boiler and every single payment. Thank you.

:07:16.:07:17.

A man's in his 20s is recovering in hospital after he was shot

:07:18.:07:20.

The attack happened on the Falls Road last night.

:07:21.:07:23.

Richard Morgan's report begins with the moment a bystander nearby

:07:24.:07:26.

recorded the gunshots on a mobile phone.

:07:27.:07:37.

A's believed that was the moment a man was shot in both legs. It was

:07:38.:07:44.

recorded on the mobile phone of a passer-by who was filming a car

:07:45.:07:47.

doing handbrake turns on the Main Falls Road. The shooting happened

:07:48.:07:51.

further down the road at an alley on the opposite side of the jobs and

:07:52.:07:57.

benefits office. The mobile phone pictures clearly record for macro

:07:58.:08:06.

shots. -- four shots. The victim was aged in his 20s and police were

:08:07.:08:10.

called to the scene at about 8:30pm. The man was taken to the nearby

:08:11.:08:14.

Royal Victoria Hospital where he is said today to be stable. One woman

:08:15.:08:18.

who lives close by said she ran out of her house when she heard the

:08:19.:08:23.

gunfire and saw the man being put into an ambulance. The police today

:08:24.:08:26.

appealed for anyone who may have witnessed the shooting to contact

:08:27.:08:27.

them. Coming up on the programme before

:08:28.:08:29.

seven: We find out how a community scheme in Downpatrick is affected

:08:30.:08:32.

by the Assembly's collapse. The Republic's Foreign Minister has

:08:33.:08:43.

said it would be counterproductive to try to get a special Brexit deal

:08:44.:08:45.

for Northern Ireland. Sinn Fein, SDLP and Alliance have

:08:46.:08:48.

all proposed a special status which would mean Northern Ireland

:08:49.:08:51.

staying inside the EU Charlie Flanagan has now ruled that

:08:52.:08:54.

out, but says the Irish Government will work for arrangements

:08:55.:09:00.

which recognise Northern Here's our Economics

and Business Editor John Campbell. Last June, the UK voted to leave the

:09:02.:09:19.

EU, the Northern Ireland voted to Remained. We are leaving anyway said

:09:20.:09:22.

the Prime Minister. Brexit means Brexit. Some part is to special

:09:23.:09:30.

status deal which would say those stains IDU released the single

:09:31.:09:33.

market. In October, the Assembly voted against such a deal, but Sinn

:09:34.:09:38.

Fein, the SDLP and Alliance have not given up. Sinn Fein are raised the

:09:39.:09:43.

matter yesterday evening. The Republic's Foreign Minister said the

:09:44.:09:46.

whole idea is counter-productive. The reality is of the unique

:09:47.:09:53.

circumstances of the Ireland of Ireland, concept of terms like

:09:54.:09:57.

special status give rise to serious concerns for the EU partners. This

:09:58.:10:03.

would risk reminding -- undermining the efforts of the Government to

:10:04.:10:05.

specifically address and mitigate the very real impact is facing us

:10:06.:10:10.

and the people of Northern Ireland in particular. That means the UK and

:10:11.:10:14.

Irish governments are now on the same page. The Secretary of State on

:10:15.:10:20.

Tuesday. To other concepts of Northern Ireland remaining within

:10:21.:10:23.

the EU when the whole of the UK's leading, well, I do not see how that

:10:24.:10:27.

works, which is why I have made comments about special status. But

:10:28.:10:33.

what I does not it is their particular circumstances, very

:10:34.:10:36.

relevant issues in Ireland that we do need to and will approach in the

:10:37.:10:41.

negotiations to come. So there will be some attempt to tackle Northern

:10:42.:10:45.

Ireland's specific issues, short of special status. That was echoed by

:10:46.:10:51.

Mr Flanagan. This relates to the border, citizenship and

:10:52.:10:54.

constitutions and human rights. The Government would also advocate the

:10:55.:10:58.

continuation of a range of EU policy supports to Northern Ireland.

:10:59.:11:01.

Meanwhile, the Irish Government has confirmed that that part of its

:11:02.:11:05.

contingency plan it is identifying locations which could be used as

:11:06.:11:10.

customs posts. There was just one individual queueing up this post

:11:11.:11:17.

today. Both would like it is dead is quiet. It was misty and murky along

:11:18.:11:21.

the border today. But Irish Government on Brexit is becoming

:11:22.:11:26.

much clearer. It wanted the soft as possible Brexit with no physical

:11:27.:11:29.

borders and no disruption to trade with the UK. But in our faces an

:11:30.:11:36.

enormous diplomatic task. To persuade its EU partners that that

:11:37.:11:37.

outcome is in everyone's interest. A cross border PSNI Garda

:11:38.:11:40.

operation's targeted the theft New figures show a 9%

:11:41.:11:42.

increase in rural crime and the Ulster Farmers' Union says

:11:43.:11:50.

criminals are hitting local farmers on an almost daily

:11:51.:11:53.

basis in some areas. Our reporter in the south east

:11:54.:11:59.

Gordon Adair went with the police on a raid aimed at disrupting

:12:00.:12:03.

criminal activity In the morning mist, a long convoy

:12:04.:12:13.

of police vehicles makes his way into the South Armagh. Inside,

:12:14.:12:19.

police officers suspect the farm act as a gay before stolen animals being

:12:20.:12:22.

moved into or out of Northern Ireland and the Republic, across the

:12:23.:12:29.

border. Garda offices of carrying out a similar operation. We are

:12:30.:12:34.

targeting this farm in relation to role crime and stolen livestock.

:12:35.:12:39.

Animals are examined and DNA samples taken. The operation to identify the

:12:40.:12:46.

animals is still going on. But we have moved and it doesn't sound like

:12:47.:12:54.

the many animals here. The police or concerned with all aspects of rural

:12:55.:12:59.

crime, so they are trying to gain access and finding a rather stubborn

:13:00.:13:07.

door. We've found a view issues in relation to property, but also the

:13:08.:13:10.

property from the Republic of Ireland. They've established a few

:13:11.:13:15.

offences in the Republic of Ireland and seized documentation in relation

:13:16.:13:20.

to the sale of animals in the Republic. But we've also found Ian

:13:21.:13:25.

Tikes, lying discarded here. They are not registered to this heard and

:13:26.:13:30.

that will lead us to an investigation on another farm, not

:13:31.:13:35.

that far away from here. Rural crime is estimated to cost the Northern

:13:36.:13:40.

Ireland economy between ?3 million and ?4 million annually, with

:13:41.:13:42.

hundreds of animals going missing every year as well as machinery and

:13:43.:13:48.

fuel. When operations like this can't disrupt the activity of the

:13:49.:13:52.

criminals, farming experts agree vigilance remains the key to

:13:53.:13:53.

reducing rural crime. It's the quarterfinal of the rugby

:13:54.:13:56.

Schools' Cup this weekend, but many of one team's players

:13:57.:13:58.

are on a ski trip. Friends School in Lisburn appealed

:13:59.:14:01.

to the Ulster Branch Schools Committee to reschedule the match,

:14:02.:14:03.

but that was rejected last night. A 30 nil win over Grosvenor took

:14:04.:14:31.

this cool took place down lobbying for many years. A quarterfinal. The

:14:32.:14:35.

big game against Belfast Royal Academy will be played this

:14:36.:14:38.

Saturday. But there is a problem, and nearly all of the first 15 who

:14:39.:14:42.

helped get to the match will be on the field. That is because they are

:14:43.:14:46.

on a ski trip and those return until Saturday night, hours after bland

:14:47.:14:50.

kick off time which the Ulster brand schools committee which was the

:14:51.:14:54.

competition says can't be changed. We did not know we would get this

:14:55.:15:00.

far in the competition, so it's and unforeseen and exceptional event. It

:15:01.:15:02.

would be so simple if they would only allow us to play the match two

:15:03.:15:08.

days late. I know that messes up their itinerary a little, but it is

:15:09.:15:15.

not insurmountable. These are professional rugby players or

:15:16.:15:17.

grown-ups, they are kids and our hearts are broken. The school said

:15:18.:15:22.

the ski trip was booked in 2015 and eight form to the committee --

:15:23.:15:26.

inform the committee they wouldn't be able to play. The school asked

:15:27.:15:30.

the committee to consider changing the schedule. But the committee said

:15:31.:15:34.

while it has complete sympathy with the players, the situation could

:15:35.:15:38.

have been avoided by the school. It says the confirmed dates for this

:15:39.:15:41.

season was a accommodation are clearly communicated to schools in

:15:42.:15:45.

figure 2016 by signing the participation agreement last

:15:46.:15:48.

November, all schools committed to the terms and conditions. Earlier

:15:49.:15:52.

this week, the committee turned down an appeal from France. -- friends.

:15:53.:16:04.

The rules and regulations that come with the committee, they are

:16:05.:16:07.

sticking by it. But a bit of common sense would not go amiss to get this

:16:08.:16:10.

fixture to go ahead. I've played in cup finals and is lads, that is

:16:11.:16:12.

their Cup Final. This game on Saturday. It is very unfortunate.

:16:13.:16:16.

The school has not yet said what it will do, but it is understood coming

:16:17.:16:20.

early is not an option for the players. If they forfeit the game,

:16:21.:16:24.

the school may not be able to enter the tournament next year.

:16:25.:16:25.

Now, as part of our continuing election coverage, we are

:16:26.:16:27.

profiling the leaders of the five main parties.

:16:28.:16:29.

Tonight it is the turn of the Alliance Leader Naomi Long.

:16:30.:16:32.

Our Political Correspondent Stephen Walker joined her on the campaign

:16:33.:16:35.

The political waters of this part of the world are rarely stirred by the

:16:36.:16:50.

Alliance Party. It is not the natural battle ground. The divan.

:16:51.:16:54.

Naomi Long and her canvassing for votes, young and old. This is Naomi

:16:55.:17:06.

Long's first election as party leader. In the last Assembly

:17:07.:17:10.

election, the Alliance votes went down, so is this the election when

:17:11.:17:16.

the alliance make a breakthrough? The party say this is an election

:17:17.:17:21.

about how we should be governed. Let us vote on the questions that

:17:22.:17:24.

matter, who can deliver good Government for Northern Ireland, who

:17:25.:17:27.

can represent all of the people of Northern Ireland fairly and they

:17:28.:17:30.

will put their interests first is that the party and personal

:17:31.:17:34.

interests? What about those who say you had a chance of stinking

:17:35.:17:38.

Government, but you walked away? We walked away from bad Government. I

:17:39.:17:42.

would do it again after this election. If the only thing on offer

:17:43.:17:48.

is another divisive carve up of power blocs with no ambition for

:17:49.:17:51.

Northern Ireland. We will not walk away from governments, because we

:17:52.:17:55.

will continue an opposition told them to account. So as Naomi Long

:17:56.:18:04.

faces her first electoral test as leader, how should successfully

:18:05.:18:07.

measured? If you come back with a low vote share than David Ford, is

:18:08.:18:14.

that failure? Every election is different, so we have to gauge it in

:18:15.:18:18.

terms of what happens each time. From our perspective, I'm not trying

:18:19.:18:21.

to be different from Ford, but to be me. Last year, Alliance won eight

:18:22.:18:29.

seats. So what will their strength the post-election? Is a shrinking

:18:30.:18:33.

environment in terms of the overall number of Assembly seats. Eight

:18:34.:18:38.

seats for Alliance in an Assembly of 90 is much more significant than if

:18:39.:18:45.

there was a would you accept eight seats now? I'm quite happy to wait

:18:46.:18:49.

until March the 2nd. Because I have great faith in the people of

:18:50.:18:52.

Northern Ireland and I think in this case in the election they see an

:18:53.:18:57.

opportunity to do something new. Convincing voters to try something

:18:58.:19:01.

different is the alliance mantra. In a fortnight, we will discover if

:19:02.:19:04.

they succeeded or whether the political landscape remains

:19:05.:19:05.

unchanged. Stephen Agnew spoke of his party's

:19:06.:19:25.

manifesto launch in Belfast. They believe Stormont has become a byword

:19:26.:19:29.

for this function to it by crisis after crisis. Stephen Agnew has

:19:30.:19:34.

called for a constitutional convention to be established after

:19:35.:19:39.

the March election. The Green Party is offering 18 candidates across

:19:40.:19:41.

Northern Ireland to change the face of politics. We want to end the

:19:42.:19:48.

waste opportunities and give people back their voice. This in the

:19:49.:19:52.

traditional pot to destroy the Good Friday Agreement we want to reform

:19:53.:19:53.

and review and revitalise it. The TUV leader Jim Allister has

:19:54.:19:54.

called for more transparency over the names of those who have received

:19:55.:19:57.

payments from the controversial The Traditional Unionists have taken

:19:58.:19:59.

a leaf out of the US President Donald Trump's book,

:20:00.:20:05.

calling their Assembly election The manifesto says the Renewable

:20:06.:20:08.

Heat Incentive scheme is just the latest in a series of Stormont

:20:09.:20:12.

scandals which the party has been It has been incredible incompetence

:20:13.:20:29.

and I think people are rightly angry about that. They look at the fact it

:20:30.:20:36.

is still costing ?85,000 a day. They recognise that the three nurses for

:20:37.:20:40.

year, multiply that by everyday and you can see we would begin to tackle

:20:41.:20:46.

the great deficit in our health service. But instead, we want to

:20:47.:20:51.

squander it in the manner which it has been wasted.

:20:52.:20:54.

There's still a lot of uncertainty over what's going to happen

:20:55.:20:57.

voluntary and community groups funded by Executive

:20:58.:20:58.

which didn't agree its budget before it collapsed.

:20:59.:21:00.

With this financial year coming to an end, they have already warned

that some staff face the prospect of being laid off.

:21:04.:21:06.

Donna Traynor paid a visit to an initiative in Downpatrick

:21:07.:21:08.

to see the sort of work that's in jeopardy.

:21:09.:21:15.

This hub is a shared space. Home to start a music groups under voluntary

:21:16.:21:23.

service for vulnerable people. But because of that funding limbo, by

:21:24.:21:27.

the end of next month, this place will be empty. I've been inside to

:21:28.:21:33.

talk to one of the organisers of a counselling and mentoring service.

:21:34.:21:36.

And also to a young man who says his life has been turned around because

:21:37.:21:43.

of the work it does. We deal with people with mental health problems

:21:44.:21:46.

and social isolation and evictions. We provide them with artist therapy,

:21:47.:21:52.

group mentoring, one-to-one counselling, suicide intervention

:21:53.:21:54.

and crisis intervention, all within the one place. We have no Government

:21:55.:21:58.

funding at all in place and people do their furniture to as and all

:21:59.:22:05.

sorts of broken down bits and pieces and we put them forward for members

:22:06.:22:11.

and we tell them let's see what we can make out of this. There are also

:22:12.:22:16.

restoring confidence and in an open and safe environment where they can

:22:17.:22:20.

talk about their health problems and addictions and you can speak to all

:22:21.:22:23.

of them and they will tell you they are alive today because we are here

:22:24.:22:27.

and this service is here for them. I came here in 2040 with drug and

:22:28.:22:31.

alcohol problems and I was involved in crime, too. I knew everything bad

:22:32.:22:37.

in my life came from drugs and I, self into a rut I could not get out

:22:38.:22:42.

of alone. So when I stepped in through that front door, by

:22:43.:22:49.

livestock to coming back to normal. -- my life started coming back to

:22:50.:22:53.

normal and I would go home feeling brilliant, I was going out, doing

:22:54.:22:58.

things, meeting people and see what addictions I had and I knew there

:22:59.:23:02.

was a way out. I knew I had a second chance to do something good with my

:23:03.:23:07.

life instead of it falling apart. How was the change made a difference

:23:08.:23:12.

to not only you, the job family? I have a life now. My day-to-day life

:23:13.:23:19.

before was drugs. Now I can get to be make my own decisions and get up,

:23:20.:23:25.

go to work without them -- without relying on drugs. My family just

:23:26.:23:28.

can't believe how far I've come in the last couple of years and they

:23:29.:23:33.

are not always worrying now about me. They are now at ease. They are

:23:34.:23:45.

so proud of me and the fact I've changed my life about. Two and a

:23:46.:23:51.

half years ago, I was nowhere and I was nobody.

:23:52.:23:52.

The Department for the Communities told BBC Newsline that the Social

:23:53.:23:54.

Enterprise Hub pilot project in Downpatrick and in other

:23:55.:23:57.

areas had been extended following a positive evaluation.

:23:58.:23:59.

But that future support has not yet been agreed.

:24:00.:24:04.

Boxing and negotiations for a third fight between the Belfast man

:24:05.:24:07.

Carl Frampton and the WBA featherweight super-champion

:24:08.:24:09.

Leo Santa Cruz may be about to take a new twist.

:24:10.:24:11.

The Association's president has revealed it may intervene

:24:12.:24:15.

if the to fighters' camps can't reach a deal.

:24:16.:24:21.

Gilberto Heysus Mendoza is considering a mandatory order

:24:22.:24:23.

for the fighters to clash for a third time.

:24:24.:24:25.

That order could come as early as next week.

:24:26.:24:31.

Frampton wants to face Santa Cruz in Belfast but the champion's team

:24:32.:24:38.

After a promising start, it is now pretty miserable. But the weekend is

:24:39.:25:03.

shaping up to be fairly dry. Especially during daylight hours.

:25:04.:25:11.

Here are the last few frames of our local weather radar. The rain is

:25:12.:25:15.

becoming lighter. Heavy bursts should ease off. There will still be

:25:16.:25:26.

dampness around, that any heavy rain will have edged away. Mist and low

:25:27.:25:29.

cloud by the end of the night. But it is mild. To begin on Friday, it

:25:30.:25:35.

will be dull and damp. It should improve. A good part of the day is

:25:36.:25:42.

fairly dry. Dull, drizzly weather initially. Mist and low cloud, foggy

:25:43.:25:47.

and murky, be brightening up as the morning goes on. Not promising lots

:25:48.:25:52.

of summer, but skies will lift a bit. Lunchtime temperature should be

:25:53.:25:55.

11-12 . Not too breezy. A dry 11-12 . Not too breezy. A dry

:25:56.:26:05.

Later in the day, we are expecting a few showers to drift up from the

:26:06.:26:13.

south. A little dampness by the end of the day and wetter tomorrow

:26:14.:26:19.

night. The breeze picks up. Most rain eases off again toward the end

:26:20.:26:24.

of the night. As far as the weekend goes, we have early rain on Saturday

:26:25.:26:30.

and a bit of rain late on Sunday. In between go, dry. Temperatures above

:26:31.:26:34.

average. That rain moves away on Saturday morning. Skies brightened

:26:35.:26:40.

up. Much of the day is dry, reasonably bright. If you're going

:26:41.:26:46.

to the match on Saturday afternoon, it will be warmer than it was. 'S

:26:47.:26:53.

match and it should be dry. Temperatures of 12 degrees. Sunday,

:26:54.:26:57.

dampness first thing. Otherwise, the wet weather holds off till later the

:26:58.:27:02.

day. We will keep the mild weather pattern into the start of next week.

:27:03.:27:07.

Fairly dry conditions this weekend. Mild, too. Our main story is a game:

:27:08.:27:18.

a Londonderry man who went to Syria has been found not guilty on three

:27:19.:27:22.

terrorism charges. The jury could not reach a verdict on three other

:27:23.:27:27.

charges. The trial of this man in connection with the murder of a

:27:28.:27:31.

prison officer will not go ahead as planned next week, as he is on the

:27:32.:27:32.

run. Our late summary

:27:33.:27:33.

is at half past ten. You can also keep in contact with us
