:01:24. > :01:25.and rain are back, I'll have the detailed forecast
:01:26. > :01:37.later in the programme. The Secretary of State
:01:38. > :01:39.James Brokenshire says all options will be considered,
:01:40. > :01:41.including direct rule, if more talks to form a power
:01:42. > :01:45.sharing Executive fail. He told MPs at Westminster
:01:46. > :01:47.that the Government didn't want to see a return to London rule,
:01:48. > :01:51.but it has a responsibility Sinn Fein say they would regard such
:01:52. > :02:05.a move as an act of bad faith. Our political correspondent
:02:06. > :02:14.Enda McClafferty has more. Believe it or not, today was a day
:02:15. > :02:18.of celebration, marking ten years of Northern Ireland Water. But there
:02:19. > :02:22.was no minister and very few MLAs to toast in its success. Northern
:02:23. > :02:28.Ireland Water spends a lot of time and money clearing blockages. Moving
:02:29. > :02:34.the political obstacles at Stormont will be much harder. And today, we
:02:35. > :02:38.got a taste of what failure might bring. Should talks not succeed in
:02:39. > :02:44.their objectives, the Government will have to consider all options.
:02:45. > :02:49.So following the Easter recess, as a minimum it will be my intention to
:02:50. > :02:52.bring forward legislation to set a regional rate, to enable local
:02:53. > :02:56.councils to carry out their functions and to provide further
:02:57. > :03:02.assurance around the budget for Northern Ireland. That, for some,
:03:03. > :03:13.sounded like a move closer to London rule. Direct rule is not an option.
:03:14. > :03:18.Clearly, James Brogan share has two act in tandem with the legislation.
:03:19. > :03:24.He would be acting in severely bad faith if he was to move to direct
:03:25. > :03:29.rule. But what are the chances of fixing our broken political system
:03:30. > :03:34.in the next three weeks? Some of us fear that Sinn Fein have now decided
:03:35. > :03:38.that now the time for devolution is over, and their main ambition is now
:03:39. > :03:47.lie southwards. But others believe it is time to bring in the big --
:03:48. > :03:51.politicals big hitters. The Prime Minister should go to Northern
:03:52. > :03:57.Ireland and find a resolution sooner rather than later. Back in Stormont,
:03:58. > :04:02.the benches lay empty again today. The only thing moving was the clock,
:04:03. > :04:06.as yet another countdown is underway. If we don't get a deal
:04:07. > :04:10.very quickly, the British Government will take more and more powers to
:04:11. > :04:15.London, and we will see more and more direct rule. We don't want the
:04:16. > :04:18.British Tory party to run Northern Ireland. We need to get the Assembly
:04:19. > :04:26.and the Executive back up and running, we should send talks team
:04:27. > :04:30.to a Boot Camp Co-op -- Boot Camp to sort it out, and because we need
:04:31. > :04:35.stability I would say no new issues for the next five years for the
:04:36. > :04:38.duration of the mandate. So the political uncertainty will continue
:04:39. > :04:43.to cloud around Stormont for at least another three weeks. But the
:04:44. > :04:47.good news is that tomorrow is payday for the politicians. They will
:04:48. > :04:53.receive their first pay cheques since the election, for around
:04:54. > :04:57.?3000, for those that is that accept the full amount. Not bad when you
:04:58. > :04:59.consider that the vast majority of them were only around for a couple
:05:00. > :04:59.of days. As we heard in Enda's report,
:05:00. > :05:02.the Secretary of State has said he will ask Westminster to pass
:05:03. > :05:04.legislation to allow rates Our economics and business editor
:05:05. > :05:10.John Campbell is here. So what's the current
:05:11. > :05:17.situation with rates bills? Your rate Bill is made up of two
:05:18. > :05:22.parts, one is set by the local councils and the other is set by
:05:23. > :05:26.Stormont. Stormont hasn't got around to setting the rates Bill, and those
:05:27. > :05:31.bills would normally be going out this Saturday. Clearly we can have
:05:32. > :05:36.writes on page, because that would cause a crisis for councils, so the
:05:37. > :05:38.Secretary of State has said he will set the regional part of the raid,
:05:39. > :05:42.so rates bills can then go out. So what's the Secretary
:05:43. > :05:52.of State going to do? He will set the rate, and on
:05:53. > :05:57.Saturday a letter will be sending -- sent out saying, you will have your
:05:58. > :06:02.rate -- rates Bill soon. Normally you pay your rates Bill from April
:06:03. > :06:05.to January, this time it will be made to February, so you still need
:06:06. > :06:07.to pay the full amount, come what may.
:06:08. > :06:09.We've been reporting on the difficulties a lack
:06:10. > :06:12.of a budget has been causing for those who get Stormont funding -
:06:13. > :06:18.Tonight we have a statement from the senior civil servant who will
:06:19. > :06:23.effectively take control of Stormont's finances from tomorrow.
:06:24. > :06:25.He has said that apartments are writing to these voluntary community
:06:26. > :06:33.groups just tell them they will get into room funding. -- to tell them.
:06:34. > :06:37.It means for the next few months they know they are going to get that
:06:38. > :06:40.money, but ultimately it will be the decision of the Finance minister.
:06:41. > :06:42.If Westminster can pass rates legislation, could it also
:06:43. > :06:53.That's certainly something which is being discussed at Stormont, and as
:06:54. > :06:56.far as I know the officials in the department of Finance and the
:06:57. > :06:59.Northern Ireland Office have been talking about this. Ultimately
:07:00. > :07:05.Parliament could do this, they can do what they like. There's little
:07:06. > :07:08.precedent in terms of the way welfare reform went through
:07:09. > :07:12.Westminster, albeit with the consent of the Assembly. -- there is some
:07:13. > :07:18.precedent. Although clearly it would be a move that would annoy Sinn Fein
:07:19. > :07:20.and the SDLP, who do not want what they see as creeping direct rule.
:07:21. > :07:22.Our political editor Mark Devenport is at Stormont.
:07:23. > :07:26.As we saw there, Sinn Fein not happy about the prospect of direct rule,
:07:27. > :07:31.but does it seem to be an increasing possibility?
:07:32. > :07:39.I think that's fair to say. Clearly the Secretary of State's main
:07:40. > :07:45.clarity is to have another deal, have a compromise, that will be his
:07:46. > :07:50.ideal option. -- main priority. But he has been fairly strong id ruling
:07:51. > :07:56.out another election, which means direct rule is more likely if we
:07:57. > :08:00.don't have a deal. And Westminster may be stepping in in terms of the
:08:01. > :08:05.rates, that could be a common-sense approach in the short-term, but we
:08:06. > :08:08.be looking back on this period is a slow motion approach to direct rule.
:08:09. > :08:10.Tomorrow the Prime Minister will officially trigger the UK's
:08:11. > :08:13.departure from the European Union - what will that do to the mood
:08:14. > :08:23.Well, it has affected the mood already. The notion that Brexit
:08:24. > :08:26.negotiations will be going on in parallel with attempts to get the
:08:27. > :08:30.Executive up and running I think don't make the Government's job any
:08:31. > :08:35.easier. Sinn Fein mentioned it as one issue they were concerned about
:08:36. > :08:39.when they pulled out the first phase of the talks, and today in the House
:08:40. > :08:43.of Commons Nigel Dodds mentioned it as a reality which a willing partner
:08:44. > :08:47.in Government would have to come to terms with. So I think we already
:08:48. > :08:51.have these two parties pulling in different directions on Brexit, and
:08:52. > :08:52.the fact it will be at the top of the news won't make things at all
:08:53. > :08:53.easier. And on Brexit, the Government has
:08:54. > :09:02.indicated what might happen if there's a border poll and support
:09:03. > :09:09.for a united Ireland - We've been hearing about the
:09:10. > :09:15.possibility of a Scottish independence referendum, even if
:09:16. > :09:19.they have two apply for EU membership all over again. Today
:09:20. > :09:24.we've had a letter to Mark Durkin from David Davis, in which he sets
:09:25. > :09:29.out the view that if we had a border poll which ended up for a -- with a
:09:30. > :09:34.vote for a united Ireland, Northern Ireland would be joining an existing
:09:35. > :09:38.member of the EU, so they would automatically get EU membership. So
:09:39. > :09:44.in one sense we are in -- ahead of the queue ahead of Scotland, but
:09:45. > :09:47.there is that small matter of a border poll and a united Ireland to
:09:48. > :09:49.deal with first, which is no small matter at all.
:09:50. > :09:51.The man who co-ordinated the historic first handshake with
:09:52. > :09:53.the Queen and Martin McGuinness, Co-operation Ireland Chief
:09:54. > :09:55.Executive Peter Sheridan, says he believes the institutions
:09:56. > :09:57.would not have fallen had Martin McGuinness
:09:58. > :10:04.He was speaking to Jim Fitzpatrick for a special edition
:10:05. > :10:16.I genuinely believe that Stormont would have collapsed if he had been
:10:17. > :10:21.part of the Sinn Fein process. I know they say he was, but I think
:10:22. > :10:24.his input was lacking at that time, and I think the Executive would not
:10:25. > :10:25.have collapsed to the same extent that it did.
:10:26. > :10:28.And you can see more on that in the BBC Spotlight programme,
:10:29. > :10:30.which examines the controversial legacy of Martin McGuinness and

:10:55. > :10:55.Our agriculture and environment correspondent
:10:56. > :11:17.These are the birds that were at the centre of the case, migratory
:11:18. > :11:23.visitors from Iceland. And it was the swans which are conservation
:11:24. > :11:27.listed, that environmentalist Chris Murphy had said had not been taken
:11:28. > :11:32.into account when assessing the impact of the new A6 carriageway. He
:11:33. > :11:36.went to court to contest a section of the road, claiming it would deny
:11:37. > :11:40.the swans their feeding grounds. But the judge was not persuaded. I don't
:11:41. > :11:46.feel this is the end of the road. Or rather the route. It's only a small
:11:47. > :11:50.section of the big road that concerns me, and should be of
:11:51. > :11:57.concern to millions. This should be a World Heritage site. Finest
:11:58. > :12:03.wetland -- freshwater wetland in Ireland. The judge said protections
:12:04. > :12:07.offered to wetlands under European legislation were very important, but
:12:08. > :12:10.should not be allowed to hinder appropriate development. All the
:12:11. > :12:16.correct assessments had been done, she said, and the decision to build
:12:17. > :12:20.the road was rational and four. This ?160 million scheme has been long in
:12:21. > :12:24.the planning. It is meant to deliver better access and economic benefit
:12:25. > :12:27.to the North West, and improve road safety and journey times for
:12:28. > :12:36.commuters. The freight industry welcomed today's decision. The North
:12:37. > :12:39.West has lagged behind in and connectivity for decades, so today
:12:40. > :12:43.heralds a new chapter. There have been further controversy about the
:12:44. > :12:47.route because it passed through a landscape made famous by Seamus
:12:48. > :12:51.Heaney. Though that did not really that feature in the case. The
:12:52. > :12:56.department for infrastructure says it will get on with the work now as
:12:57. > :13:00.quickly as possible. They are to be asked not to do anything on the

:22:40. > :22:44.playing the links course this summer, in what organisers say will
:22:45. > :22:48.be the biggest yet. If you think back five years when it came to
:22:49. > :22:53.royal Portrush, that was huge news, because the Irish open was really
:22:54. > :23:00.flat on its feet, it is getting bigger all the time. Being part of
:23:01. > :23:07.the Rolex series and with the prize money involved, that makes it all
:23:08. > :23:13.come together. A prize pot of $7 million, certainly helps, as the
:23:14. > :23:18.golf club moves towards Dreamland. I would have said this was impossible,
:23:19. > :23:25.because the last time was 1953, so to have the Irish open in 2012, 2015
:23:26. > :23:28.and 2017 in Northern Ireland is fantastic, it's fantastic for the
:23:29. > :23:34.Causeway coast, but it's fantastic for the country. Port Stewart may
:23:35. > :23:40.not going to blue skies in July, but the course will be pretty much
:23:41. > :23:43.perfect, some the finest come to town. -- guarantee blue skies.
:23:44. > :23:45.He's now in his mid-30s, he's from Portadown and he knows
:23:46. > :23:49.Colin Turkington, a double British Touring Car Champion returns
:23:50. > :23:52.to action this weekend in a new car but with an old team,
:23:53. > :24:04.On a practice track in the Spanish mountains, Colin Tarkington has been
:24:05. > :24:10.finalising his preparations for a year number 15 behind the wheel.
:24:11. > :24:14.Touring cars is a sport where you are not too limited by age, and the
:24:15. > :24:19.more experienced you are, the better you get. So hopefully I can keep
:24:20. > :24:24.charging on for many more years, and remain at the sharp end. There is no
:24:25. > :24:26.feeling like winning races, and winning championships, and that is
:24:27. > :24:42.what drives me on. He has won the British Championship
:24:43. > :24:45.twice before, and is confident of mounting a significant challenge for
:24:46. > :24:50.a hat-trick this season. Yet the macro to get your name on that
:24:51. > :24:57.trophy once is a great achievement, that was my goal when I started out,
:24:58. > :25:02.so it only gets better, the more times you can win and conquer the
:25:03. > :25:05.other drivers, there are 32 other guys on the grid, and the level
:25:06. > :25:10.keeps going up every year so you have to find those extra little bits
:25:11. > :25:17.of performance from yourself. I have given myself every chance this year,
:25:18. > :25:21.being with one of the best teams and the best cars, so I am excited about
:25:22. > :25:27.what lies ahead. And the winner will be crowned after
:25:28. > :25:29.30 races between April and October. That's the sport.
:25:30. > :25:33.Now let's get the weather, with Cecilia.
:25:34. > :25:40.She has some terrific images of the Northern lights. All because of the
:25:41. > :25:45.clearer skies last night, those on the north coast managed to see the
:25:46. > :25:50.magical lights. Gary sent this video footage in from the giants Causeway.
:25:51. > :25:54.Tonight we are looking at a much cloudier picture, the clouds around
:25:55. > :25:58.today brought some rain at times. It is probably looking nicer now than
:25:59. > :26:02.it has done all day. So there will be a few breaks this evening, but
:26:03. > :26:08.there are some showers around as well. They will ease away, and it
:26:09. > :26:11.may be that a good chunk of the night destroyed, but tomorrow
:26:12. > :26:18.morning a little more rain is edging northwards. It may start drive then
:26:19. > :26:26.tomorrow morning, but we are expecting some rain. It will be
:26:27. > :26:30.milder, but expect some splashes, some puddles and some spray on the
:26:31. > :26:36.roads, although temperatures will be up to around eight, nine, even 10
:26:37. > :26:40.degrees. So it is a milder start, but quite cloudy. Dries up briefly
:26:41. > :26:43.in the morning, but the rain and fortunately doesn't stay away for
:26:44. > :26:50.too long. Showers will be working their way in is the day goes on. In
:26:51. > :26:53.between there may be some hints of brightness, but overall quite
:26:54. > :26:57.cloudy, and if you do get sunshine it is likely to be a bit milder than
:26:58. > :27:05.today with average is up to 14, possibly 15. Tomorrow night it will
:27:06. > :27:09.be mild, temperatures in some places in double figures, compare that to
:27:10. > :27:13.negative figures which we had over the weekend. So the unsettled spell
:27:14. > :27:17.is due to this area of low pressure which hangs around until Friday, and
:27:18. > :27:22.gradually moves away over the weekend and we should see an area of
:27:23. > :27:25.high pressure which will bring hopefully some dry weather for at
:27:26. > :27:28.least part of the weekend and if we are lucky a good part of the
:27:29. > :27:35.weekend. So there is some hope in the forecast. Not too bad to start
:27:36. > :27:39.with on Thursday, some sunshine, a few showers around mainly in the
:27:40. > :27:40.West, and then hopefully we will see some longer, drier weather this
:27:41. > :27:42.weekend. Our late summary
:27:43. > :27:45.is at half past ten.
