:00:00. > :00:14.and on BBC one we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.

:00:15. > :00:21.Tonight's top stories - on the day a senior medic warns

:00:22. > :00:24.of a bad batch of heroin - it's revealed how long users have

:00:25. > :00:39.It rips me apart. It absolutely rips my heart apart. I want to change my

:00:40. > :00:42.life. I don't want to be an addict anymore.

:00:43. > :00:44.The SDLP reveal who'll run in North Belfast in next

:00:45. > :00:48.Puppy smuggling claims about two men who died in a speedboat

:00:49. > :00:53.Day two of the Royal visit begins at the PSNI Memorial Garden before

:00:54. > :00:54.moving onto Dromore, where crowds came out

:00:55. > :01:11.The Bal moral show, it is the annual platform for the agricultural and

:01:12. > :01:14.food industry farming. One year after Brexit, we talk to younger

:01:15. > :01:16.farmers as they look to the future. Join me later.

:01:17. > :01:19.And tomorrow the sun will shine brightly again but shower clouds

:01:20. > :01:27.I'll be back with the latest forecast.

:01:28. > :01:33.Heroin users in Belfast are having to wait 18 months

:01:34. > :01:39.to get professional help for their addiction.

:01:40. > :01:41.While waiting, some are being advised to remain

:01:42. > :01:44.on the drug as it is too dangerous for them to withdraw

:01:45. > :01:49.It comes as the Chief Medical Officer issued a stark warning

:01:50. > :01:51.of evidence of potentially contaminated heroin on the streets

:01:52. > :02:00.Our Health Correspondent Marie-Louise Connolly reports.

:02:01. > :02:07.A father of five children and a self-confessed heroin addict. This

:02:08. > :02:12.man is just 27 years old, desperately wanting to be rid of the

:02:13. > :02:17.drugs. I am a full-blown addict, so I am. I injure four times a day.

:02:18. > :02:25.Described to me what it is like if you do not get the hit. I become...

:02:26. > :02:31.I can't leave the house. I'm sick, I get cramps in my stomach. I've

:02:32. > :02:36.attempted suicide multiple times. I think about suicide every day, if I

:02:37. > :02:40.can't get it. But like so many others in Northern Ireland, he is on

:02:41. > :02:44.a waiting list. The BBC has learned the current waiting time to get help

:02:45. > :02:54.in the Belfast Health Trust is 18 months. I don't want to be an addict

:02:55. > :02:58.anymore. To be waiting this long on help, it's just... I'm hitting a

:02:59. > :03:04.brick wall. I just want to change my life. I don't want to be like this

:03:05. > :03:09.no more, you know? These waiting time figures are particularly

:03:10. > :03:11.poignant as news is released of possible debts related to heroin.

:03:12. > :03:25.The Chief Medical Officer said... The other health trusts appear to be

:03:26. > :03:30.managing their waiting lists, but according to those on the front

:03:31. > :03:35.line, Belfast is chronic. They are desperate whenever they to services

:03:36. > :03:39.and say, I need help. And to be told they can't get that help a need to

:03:40. > :03:43.go out and continue engaging in a behaviour they are so desperately

:03:44. > :03:49.asking for help from, they are essentially dying for treatment. At

:03:50. > :03:52.the moment, there are approximately 760 men and women who are getting

:03:53. > :03:59.professional help from their local health trust for heroin addiction.

:04:00. > :04:03.But that is not the true picture. While there are around 70 people on

:04:04. > :04:08.waiting lists, it's got that there are many, many more requiring urgent

:04:09. > :04:14.help. But perhaps our homeless, anonymous or have simply slipped

:04:15. > :04:16.through the system. The Belfast Health Trust says demand is

:04:17. > :04:20.increasing and it is actively working to address the problem.

:04:21. > :04:24.Meanwhile, this man told me he is thousands of pounds in debt, and

:04:25. > :04:27.says it is desperate watching friends dying in slow motion.

:04:28. > :04:32.Around 50 people attended a public meeting in Dunmurry last

:04:33. > :04:35.night to discuss the rise in the number of drug related

:04:36. > :04:40.It was organised by families whose children have died

:04:41. > :04:41.from taking prescription drugs in the last month.

:04:42. > :04:46.All of these families have one thing in common -

:04:47. > :04:50.they've all been affected by drugs Many people here have lost loved

:04:51. > :04:53.ones from taking prescription drugs, or are here to look for help

:04:54. > :05:00.for those who are still alive but addicted.

:05:01. > :05:03.The misuse of prescription drugs is a concern for the authorities,

:05:04. > :05:05.with more people here dying from misusing drugs like lyrica

:05:06. > :05:09.In the last few months, the PSNI has investigated

:05:10. > :05:11.the deaths of five people - all thought to be drug-related.

:05:12. > :05:29.When you offer help and hope to the young people, we need to make sure

:05:30. > :05:31.none of their families go through such a horrible time that the

:05:32. > :05:35.families here tonight have gone through and are going through.

:05:36. > :05:38.when he died on Mother's Day two years ago.

:05:39. > :05:51.That day when I left him, his last words to me was, Mama, I love you. I

:05:52. > :05:57.came into hours later, and lay down on the couch. You could hear him

:05:58. > :06:08.snoring in the house, I didn't know anything about this, but he had gone

:06:09. > :06:12.into a coma. The coroner said... He would have taken a massive heart

:06:13. > :06:14.attack. He had taken ammonia, and that all his organs failed.

:06:15. > :06:16.And unfortunately, Deirdre isn't alone -

:06:17. > :06:19.at the meeting, dozens of families shared their stories of loved ones

:06:20. > :06:20.who'd died from taking prescription drugs -

:06:21. > :06:29.each story as harrowing as the one before.

:06:30. > :06:31.According to the Public Health Agency, the average drugs deaths

:06:32. > :06:43.But for these families, those statistics are real life....

:06:44. > :06:46.They believe the help just isn't there and are pleading for something

:06:47. > :06:48.to be done before more young lives are lost.

:06:49. > :06:59.Kelly Bonner, BBC Newsline, Dunmurry.

:07:00. > :07:01.The SDLP is running its press officer Martin McAuley

:07:02. > :07:03.as a candidate in the deneral election in North Belfast.

:07:04. > :07:06.That news confirmed today ends speculation that sitting MLA

:07:07. > :07:11.Sinn Fein had called on the SDLP to give its candidate John Finucane

:07:12. > :07:14.a free run to try and oust sitting MP Nigel Dodds from the DUP.

:07:15. > :07:24.Let's get more from our Political Correspondent Enda McClafferty.

:07:25. > :07:33.What are we to read into this north Belfast move? This move has come as

:07:34. > :07:36.no real surprise, because let's face it, Nichola Mallon has more

:07:37. > :07:38.important things in her life to consider other than politics,

:07:39. > :07:42.because she is due to give birth in the next few days. The party has had

:07:43. > :07:48.to choose another candidate. They didn't cast the debt too wide.

:07:49. > :07:52.Martin McAuley has some political pedigree, he is no stranger to the

:07:53. > :07:57.lamp posts of North Belfast, because he stood there back in 2010 as an

:07:58. > :08:01.independent candidate at the age of 19. He polled at that time in and

:08:02. > :08:08.around 400 votes. The big question is, will he be able to dent John

:08:09. > :08:12.Finucane's performance and try to reclaim the seat from Nigel Dodds?

:08:13. > :08:17.That will be a big ask for Martin McAuley. The party is out to rebuild

:08:18. > :08:23.the vote there in North Belfast. We now know who they are fielding. In

:08:24. > :08:30.the last few moments, the SDLP have confirmed that Mary Garrity, a local

:08:31. > :08:35.Councillor, will contest the seat informatics self to Rome, this is

:08:36. > :08:40.interesting because we know pretty tight. The last time Tom Elliott won

:08:41. > :08:43.with just 500 votes to spare. We know in the past the winners and

:08:44. > :08:51.losers were separated by just four votes. We know that Mary pulled in

:08:52. > :08:55.around 700 votes. While she is not a very high profile candidate, she may

:08:56. > :08:59.help to dictate the outcome of that election. We know that Sinn Fein

:09:00. > :09:02.asked the SDLP to step aside to allow their candidate to be involved

:09:03. > :09:08.in a straight head-to-head against Tom Elliott, because they see the --

:09:09. > :09:14.see her as the only realistic candidate to reclaim the seat. Any

:09:15. > :09:17.other surprises? Not really. As far as the SDLP were concerned, those

:09:18. > :09:23.were the two that would grab the most interest. We can expect the

:09:24. > :09:27.SDLP to focus primarily on the re-constituencies that they hold. We

:09:28. > :09:33.are not expecting them to cast their net or put huge resources into the

:09:34. > :09:37.other constituencies. Like the other parties, SDLP have fought a lot of

:09:38. > :09:42.elections recently. That puts a lot of strain on finances. We will see

:09:43. > :09:45.how they are going to concentrate on those three constituencies. Key

:09:46. > :09:47.constituencies, in a battle to try and retain. Think you very much.

:09:48. > :09:50.The remains found last week in a forest near Rouen in France

:09:51. > :09:57.Mr Ruddy, who was 32 and from Newry, was working as a teacher in Paris

:09:58. > :10:01.in 1985 when he was abducted, murdered and secretly

:10:02. > :10:05.A new search began after new information was passed

:10:06. > :10:07.to the Independent Commission for the Location

:10:08. > :10:12.The Commission says the remains will be brought back

:10:13. > :10:18.A man in his twenties has been shot and critically injured

:10:19. > :10:20.in Dublin in an attack linked to a gangland feud.

:10:21. > :10:23.The shooting happened on the Clonshaugh Road,

:10:24. > :10:25.close to the city's airport, at around one thirty this afternoon.

:10:26. > :10:28.The victim was at a filling station when a gunman approached and fired

:10:29. > :10:42.A Lisburn primary school principal has described budget cuts she's

:10:43. > :10:47.That comes after a warning from the Department for Education

:10:48. > :10:50.in response to plans by some headteachers to go into the red

:10:51. > :10:58.Our education correspondent Robbie Meredith has more.

:10:59. > :11:03.Last month, in an unprecedented move, over 40 primary school

:11:04. > :11:05.principals wrote to parents - and the Department -

:11:06. > :11:08.saying they were prepared to go into budget deficit rather than make

:11:09. > :11:10.cuts they said would affect their pupils.

:11:11. > :11:16.But now the Department has responded.

:11:17. > :11:18.Their top finance official Gary Fair has written

:11:19. > :11:30.The Department's stance isn't unexpected, but it does put

:11:31. > :11:33.the focus firmly back on the school principals and their boards of

:11:34. > :11:37.Today, around 50 met at a South Belfast school

:11:38. > :11:52.We are looking at special needs kids, we would have to look at

:11:53. > :11:55.cutting support services to them, additional learning support. Our

:11:56. > :12:00.breakfast clubs, afterschool activities... Then looking at the

:12:01. > :12:04.classroom. It is classroom assistant support for children to her most

:12:05. > :12:10.honourable and our education system. That is a crime. I am not prepared

:12:11. > :12:14.to start doing that. We have pared back as much as we can. What we are

:12:15. > :12:19.seeing now is that the bunch that we have been given is not enough to

:12:20. > :12:20.meet that. -- budget. We look at a children first, and meeting their

:12:21. > :12:20.needs. But with absolutely no sign of any

:12:21. > :12:23.more money for schools, there's little light at the end

:12:24. > :12:25.of this particular Tunnel. It's emerged two men -

:12:26. > :12:32.whose bodies were pulled from the Irish Sea at the weekend -

:12:33. > :12:35.we're suspected puppy smugglers They died in a speedboat accident

:12:36. > :12:39.near a known route used These faces help earn smugglers

:12:40. > :12:51.?300 million a year. The RSPCA says thousands are bought

:12:52. > :12:54.cheaply in Northern Ireland - or in the Republic -

:12:55. > :12:57.then brought to Britain and sold on. A well-known smuggling route -

:12:58. > :12:59.the ferry from Larne. Sandy Hamilton and Kevin McKinley -

:13:00. > :13:02.both from South Lanarkshire - had left in a speedboat

:13:03. > :13:04.from Port Logan on Saturday before It's suspected they could have been

:13:05. > :13:10.trying to make their own way The BBC understands a large amount

:13:11. > :13:15.of cash was discovered with one of the bodies -

:13:16. > :13:18.although police won't confirm that. This is Sandy Hamilton,

:13:19. > :13:30.filmed on board a ferry Do you have a transport certificate

:13:31. > :13:33.for these dogs? If I need one, I will go get one.

:13:34. > :13:35.The inspectors here were working with Operation Delphin -

:13:36. > :13:38.it's a multi-agency initiative to tackle the illegal puppy trade

:13:39. > :13:40.and includes the Ulster Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to

:13:41. > :13:45.On this occasion, Mr Hamilton was allowed to continue his journey

:13:46. > :13:48.The BBC in Scotland has been told Mr Hamilton was suspected

:13:49. > :13:50.of sourcing animals, Mr McKinlay of selling them.

:13:51. > :13:52.Authorities say they are still investigating exactly what happened

:13:53. > :13:58.Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are visiting

:13:59. > :14:00.the Republic after completing a two-day visit of Northern Ireland.

:14:01. > :14:05.Today the Royal couple did a walkabout and sampled local

:14:06. > :14:08.produce in Dromore - more on that in a moment -

:14:09. > :14:10.but their day began at PSNI headquarters in east Belfast.

:14:11. > :14:16.Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall make their way

:14:17. > :14:22.It's their day - and the Prince is there to officially open

:14:23. > :14:27.the garden in memory of 13 members of the PSNI.

:14:28. > :14:32.Two were killed by dissident Republicans.

:14:33. > :14:34.The first PSNI officer to be murdered was

:14:35. > :14:40.His widow was among the families attending the event.

:14:41. > :14:48.I was absolutely delighted with the day. It has been a very fitting,

:14:49. > :14:50.touching day and tinged with sadness and badness as well. But it was a

:14:51. > :14:50.beautiful day. The Chief Constable is mindful

:14:51. > :15:02.of the ongoing security threat. It is 13 to many. We live in hope

:15:03. > :15:08.that we are still dealing with a very volatile and dangerous policing

:15:09. > :15:13.environment, but thankfully things have moved on, other than a small

:15:14. > :15:16.group of people who want to harm police officers. Policing is a

:15:17. > :15:18.dangerous calling, so we don't want to see anymore names on that wall.

:15:19. > :15:28.The new garden adjoins a similar memorial to the 300 RUC officers

:15:29. > :15:33.With the sun shining, the welcome in Dromore

:15:34. > :15:36.Hundreds lined the square of the market town for a chance

:15:37. > :15:53.I think it's marvelous, absolutely marvelous. The royal couple had the

:15:54. > :15:59.chance to try out some local products. We had news this morning

:16:00. > :16:03.that she loves ice cream. She took the salted caramel with her and she

:16:04. > :16:06.loved it. She was lovely. She was looking for the recipe? We couldn't

:16:07. > :16:08.tell her, it's a secret! The couple then left

:16:09. > :16:09.for separate engagements, with the Duchess heading

:16:10. > :16:11.to the new Dromore Central Primary School,

:16:12. > :16:13.where she visited classes I grandchildren have watched all the

:16:14. > :16:26.movies. The Duchess then officially

:16:27. > :16:33.opened the school. We are so excited, proud of our new

:16:34. > :16:34.school, we are so excited that someone like Camilla would come and

:16:35. > :16:35.open it today. Then it was back to class for 700

:16:36. > :16:38.pupils, but it's a day David Maxwell,

:16:39. > :16:41.BBC Newsline, Dromore. Prince Charles and the Duchess

:16:42. > :16:43.of Cornwall have since made their way to meet the Irish

:16:44. > :16:45.President Michael D Higgins The royal couple went to see

:16:46. > :16:50.the Peace Bell unveiled in two thousand and eight to mark the tenth

:16:51. > :16:52.anniversary of the They also met young people involved

:16:53. > :16:56.in the arts, science, The couple are in the Republic until

:16:57. > :16:59.Friday. It's the first day of this

:17:00. > :17:01.year's Balmoral Show. Tens of thousands of people

:17:02. > :17:07.are expected to travel to the site near Lisburn over

:17:08. > :17:09.the next four days. It comes at an uncertain time

:17:10. > :17:15.for the farming industry. Over four days, tens of thousands of

:17:16. > :17:19.people will converge here at Balmoral Park to see the latest

:17:20. > :17:24.machinery, to see the livestock judging and take a break from the

:17:25. > :17:27.farm. Brexit and the impact on the local agricultural food industry is

:17:28. > :17:33.no doubt up for discussion. Younger farmers want to have their voices

:17:34. > :17:34.heard. Our agricultural and environment correspondent has been

:17:35. > :17:43.talking to some of them. On his farm in County Fermanagh, he

:17:44. > :17:50.is picking out his show ram and grooming him for Balmoral. He keeps

:17:51. > :17:53.several hundred pedigree sheep on the hills around here. He faces the

:17:54. > :17:58.future with confidence, but says that people want local food, ones

:17:59. > :18:01.that they can trust, farmers have to be able to make a living producing

:18:02. > :18:05.it. There's no point a farmer working all of his days, staying up

:18:06. > :18:11.through the lemming Thomas never get to your bed... Why would anyone do

:18:12. > :18:17.it for not getting any pay for it? With someone work in an office for

:18:18. > :18:22.it? I don't think so. The average age of farmers here is 58. But it is

:18:23. > :18:27.a job, despite volatility, many want to take on. Armors tend to be older,

:18:28. > :18:38.but at a time of uncertainty, it is important that younger voices get

:18:39. > :18:44.heard to. -- farmers. Alastair Armstrong is one of those who will

:18:45. > :18:52.help with that. So to, County down be farmer. They are both part of a

:18:53. > :18:56.panel of 20 younger farmers set up by their union, which will be to

:18:57. > :19:03.discuss their priorities as post Brexit farming takes place. It is

:19:04. > :19:07.important to get a foot on the farming ladder. Not always easy for

:19:08. > :19:12.some. I suppose you only need to look at our agricultural allergists.

:19:13. > :19:15.We have to make sure there is an opportunity and something in the

:19:16. > :19:22.industry for those young people to come forward. It's all about making

:19:23. > :19:26.sure there are the young people coming through. The question of

:19:27. > :19:31.succession is key to that. He will take over the family farm and when?

:19:32. > :19:36.At 6:30am, Jeffrey Robinson is already in the milking corner, a

:19:37. > :19:43.civil engineer by trade, he has reached an agreement with his father

:19:44. > :19:48.over running the farm. Position that is not always easy in every

:19:49. > :19:53.household. He needs to progress forward, it needs young minded

:19:54. > :19:57.people to get out of this, it is greatly important to let the older

:19:58. > :20:02.people to stay around to pass. On, you don't want a lost generation of

:20:03. > :20:05.skills and experience. Jeffrey, Roberta and Alastair represent the

:20:06. > :20:07.future of farming. They all know it is an industry on the brink of major

:20:08. > :20:19.change. Younger farmers looking to the

:20:20. > :20:23.future. Earlier here at the show, I spoke to Berkeley battle about what

:20:24. > :20:28.farmers want from the UK Government in those important Brexit

:20:29. > :20:33.negotiations. As an organisation, we certainly have to highlight the fact

:20:34. > :20:39.that things may well change in the years ahead, and it is probably...

:20:40. > :20:43.It would be very prudent of men to take stock of their own business,

:20:44. > :20:49.just to see where their own business might be going. Could they survive

:20:50. > :20:54.in this new world post Brexit? Have you in particular difficulty or a

:20:55. > :21:00.particular fear as he look forward? I think we identified at a very

:21:01. > :21:04.early stage that the key in all these negotiations around Brexit was

:21:05. > :21:10.trade and trade deals. If we are in a situation where the UK Government

:21:11. > :21:15.decided to go to a WTO situation where we would be exposed to very

:21:16. > :21:21.cheap imports, in that situation we would find it very difficult to

:21:22. > :21:26.compete. We can look at other scenarios, the fact that the United

:21:27. > :21:32.Kingdom, we are still only 61% self-sufficient in food. So the

:21:33. > :21:36.farmers here in Northern Ireland, on mainland UK, they can up production,

:21:37. > :21:41.step up to the mark to try and fill the gap. But I think in all of this,

:21:42. > :21:44.we need the right signals from Government, we need to get a little

:21:45. > :21:48.bit of certainty from Government as to where we are going. At this

:21:49. > :21:52.stage, we have to say, we have not got the right signals from Whitehall

:21:53. > :21:56.or wherever. There was a long way to go in the negotiations in regards to

:21:57. > :22:02.Brexit and the European Union. How long is a piece of string, in what

:22:03. > :22:08.you're demanding? Villa I suppose, as you say, how long is a piece of

:22:09. > :22:15.string? Over the past year, we have spoken to our local politicians, we

:22:16. > :22:20.have lobbied quite hard in Whitehall as well. The only thing I think we

:22:21. > :22:28.can take some comfort in is the fact that the EU chief because she'd are

:22:29. > :22:32.has a very knowledge of the whole Irish agricultural scene, both north

:22:33. > :22:36.and South. I think there is some comfort in that fact, that he

:22:37. > :22:42.realises what the industry is worth your in Northern Ireland and

:22:43. > :22:49.hopefully that will prove to Art vantage in the future. From the

:22:50. > :22:54.Ulster farmers Union there. A noisy sheep year, but he has to be ready

:22:55. > :22:58.for judging. I will be back here at the Balmoral Show tomorrow at 1:30pm

:22:59. > :22:59.and 6:30pm. I hope you can join me then.

:23:00. > :23:02.A down day for riders at the North-West 200 saw the roads

:23:03. > :23:04.given over today to a very thankful group of cyclists -

:23:05. > :23:08.Stephen Watson has the latest from the north coast.

:23:09. > :23:18.Today is ever cover a day for the riders ahead of more practice and

:23:19. > :23:21.the racing tomorrow. This year, the organisers have invested heavily in

:23:22. > :23:27.additional safety and once again the Northern Ireland air ambulance will

:23:28. > :23:31.provide support. For one fan of the event, that is something very close

:23:32. > :23:36.to her heart. Gavin Anderson reports. It has become a vital part

:23:37. > :23:43.of the Northwest 200, simply saving lives here. Two years ago, the

:23:44. > :23:47.spectator was airlifted to hospital when three eggs crashed as she

:23:48. > :23:53.watched the racing in a friend's garden. This week, she has been back

:23:54. > :23:57.on a bike for a charity cycle in support of the air ambulance. I

:23:58. > :24:01.actually cannot stop shaking. The amount of people that have actually

:24:02. > :24:07.come in turned out to support this is absolutely fantastic. Any event

:24:08. > :24:11.in the northwest, this being one of them definitely, because the debts

:24:12. > :24:14.that have occurred at it... They do everything they can, everything

:24:15. > :24:20.possible. They learn from the past, from what has happened. They try

:24:21. > :24:23.their hardest. This year, over ?100,000 of Government money has

:24:24. > :24:29.been spent on safety features around the circuit. Motorcycle racing is a

:24:30. > :24:32.dangerous sport. We have to accept that at the end of the day. But if

:24:33. > :24:37.we have care protectors in place, further safety wheels in place,

:24:38. > :24:40.there was less risk of injury itself at the end of the day. It is a

:24:41. > :24:45.matter of improving and improving all the time. For the most

:24:46. > :24:51.successful writer here, it all helps. The speed and reaction time

:24:52. > :24:56.of the helicopters is what we need, to have that security and safety

:24:57. > :24:59.behind it. To have the helicopter up and floating around in the sky, a

:25:00. > :25:03.quick response, that's what it's all about. I will just try the best I

:25:04. > :25:06.can and hopefully the best man may wind in the day. And a safe event is

:25:07. > :25:15.what matters the most. Rose closed tomorrow morning at

:25:16. > :25:20.9:15am, once again you can see everything live on the BBC sports

:25:21. > :25:24.website. Finally tonight, one piece of local football news. Barry grey

:25:25. > :25:27.has just been confirmed as the new manager of Clifton Ville football

:25:28. > :25:30.club. That is it from the north coast. We will have lots more from

:25:31. > :25:37.the north coast 200 tomorrow. Another lovely day,

:25:38. > :25:46.will it continue? It will not. That is the short

:25:47. > :25:53.answer. We have another good day to come tomorrow. Especially if you

:25:54. > :25:56.have a sneaky Thursday off. Many parts of Ireland today was

:25:57. > :26:00.beautiful, temperatures have been up to 18 Celsius. That was our warmest

:26:01. > :26:04.spot. There are some clouds around this evening, they will tend to melt

:26:05. > :26:09.away this evening. Once again, it's going to get quite cold tonight,

:26:10. > :26:12.temperatures in summer or early areas will drop below freezing. For

:26:13. > :26:17.the early riser tomorrow, it will be quite cold. It may even see a hint

:26:18. > :26:23.of fog over the river valleys. We have mostly drive sunny weather to

:26:24. > :26:27.come. Weather watchers, another opportunity to get some really great

:26:28. > :26:32.shots of our coastline in particular. For those who are up

:26:33. > :26:37.early, will be dry and sunny, temperatures will start to come up

:26:38. > :26:40.fairly quickly. A cool list to the breeze, especially towards the East

:26:41. > :26:44.Coast. The wind direction was coming from the Northwest, which made it

:26:45. > :26:50.quite cool at the north coast. Tomorrow it comes in from the South

:26:51. > :26:54.East. A little bit cooler times, most places dry, sunny for most of

:26:55. > :26:59.the day. A warmer day at the north coast, temperatures up to 17 or 18

:27:00. > :27:04.Celsius. One or two showers popping up late in the day, but for many

:27:05. > :27:07.places, it will be a fine day. If you're heading to Balmoral tomorrow,

:27:08. > :27:11.pretty good chance it will be nice and warm. But Friday will see

:27:12. > :27:15.showers develop more widely. Saturday looks like a good day. For

:27:16. > :27:20.the first race tomorrow evening, a risk of one or two showers. It will

:27:21. > :27:23.be glorious for a good part of the day towards the North course

:27:24. > :27:29.tomorrow. Friday, more humid, not as fresh. Some sunshine around in the

:27:30. > :27:34.later part of the day, temperatures getting to 16 or 17 Celsius, but

:27:35. > :27:36.also some showers around. You may need the umbrella, one or two of

:27:37. > :27:41.those could be quite heavy with possible thunder. Saturday looks

:27:42. > :27:43.like a nice start to the began a few showers later on Sunday.

:27:44. > :27:46.Our late summary is at half past ten.

:27:47. > :27:49.You can also keep in contact with us via Facebook and twitter.
