:02:00. > :02:01.Police are here today, conducting an operation.

:02:02. > :02:04.We also know that the gun man and probably at least one other

:02:05. > :02:10.associate must have then go away from Kerrs Road so there's probably

:02:11. > :02:13.another vehicle here so my appeal to the public is if anyone saw

:02:14. > :02:17.of the vehicle being burnt out or waiting in the area

:02:18. > :02:19.my appeal is for them to come forward and give

:03:10. > :03:15.afternoon they were found dead by relatives. An intruder had broken

:03:16. > :03:19.into their home. It's believed the elderly couple were stabbed.

:03:20. > :03:25.Absolutely shocked. People are very frightened. There are a lot of

:03:26. > :03:29.elderly people in the area and obviously they are very frightened.

:03:30. > :03:33.People have never experienced anything like that round here so it

:03:34. > :03:37.was a massive shock. The elderly couple were well-known

:03:38. > :03:46.and well liked. The family are absolutely

:03:47. > :03:51.devastated, which is understandable. Marjorie and Michael were both quiet

:03:52. > :03:56.and reserved people. They were not into the public end of things. The

:03:57. > :04:01.rest of the family will be similar to that. For them it is just trying

:04:02. > :04:07.to do with this horrific act that has taken place.

:04:08. > :04:12.Three days later, the police investigation is continuing. The

:04:13. > :04:18.house is still sealed off. A 40-year-old man was arrested on

:04:19. > :04:24.Friday afternoon. He is still being questioned. Extra police patrols

:04:25. > :04:27.were in the area all weekend. The family of the elderly couple

:04:28. > :04:32.released a statement in which they describe what happened on Friday

:04:33. > :04:33.afternoon as incomprehensible. They thanked everyone who had offered

:04:34. > :04:36.sympathy and support. A man's appeared in court charged

:04:37. > :04:38.with attempted murder in Antrim Belfast Magistrates' Court was told

:04:39. > :04:44.that a man was stabbed five times, including in the chest,

:04:45. > :04:47.during a house party 27-year-old Paul Catherwood,

:04:48. > :04:55.from Mourne View Park in Lisburn, is accused of attempted murder

:04:56. > :04:58.and with slashing at two women. British Airways flights

:04:59. > :05:03.between Belfast City and Heathrow airports are getting back to normal,

:05:04. > :05:06.after the cancellations caused Many passengers were left

:05:07. > :05:12.stranded at home and abroad, but BA say two thirds of passengers

:05:13. > :05:16.will have reached their destination One passenger who was supposed

:05:17. > :05:23.to fly back to Belfast on a BA flight on Saturday only managed

:05:24. > :05:35.to get home this evening. I think they have everybody very

:05:36. > :05:39.poorly. I feel for people, there were a lot of children are being as

:05:40. > :05:44.well, so they should have been supplying them with information and

:05:45. > :05:51.water and sandwiches. I know that is minor but it settles people a little

:05:52. > :05:53.bit. To tell people to leave the airport and do things online when

:05:54. > :05:55.the online wasn't working. A disabled motorist was hijacked

:05:56. > :05:58.and assaulted in County Tyrone He was driving in the Sixmilecross

:05:59. > :06:01.area at about three o'clock when he was flagged down by two men,

:06:02. > :06:05.who dragged him out of his car The police say the victim,

:06:06. > :06:09.who uses crutches, made his way with some difficulty to a nearby

:06:10. > :06:11.house to get help. His abandoned car was found

:06:12. > :06:13.crashed into a bridge At this time of year volunteers

:06:14. > :06:18.from around the world head to live on Rathlin Island -

:06:19. > :06:22.home to our biggest sea bird colony. Our north east reporter Sara Girvin

:06:23. > :06:27.went to the windswept island to see some of the visitors -

:06:28. > :06:40.human and feathered. For most of the year, fewer than 150

:06:41. > :06:45.people live on Rathlin Island. But every spring and summer the

:06:46. > :06:49.population explodes as tens of thousands of sea birds, sure to

:06:50. > :06:55.nest. The spectacle will attract 20,000 visitors this year alone.

:06:56. > :06:58.That means the RSPB need extra help. Volunteers come to the island for

:06:59. > :07:04.different reasons but they come from all over the world.

:07:05. > :07:10.It is a change in my life. Really getting down to the core and

:07:11. > :07:14.essential things of life. Getting away from the busy metropolitan area

:07:15. > :07:17.I live in. Since I was nine years old I have

:07:18. > :07:27.been bird-watching but usually I would be the last one on a walk, I

:07:28. > :07:31.would be at the back. Rathlin Island is famous for its

:07:32. > :07:36.puffins but many other breeds can be competing for space.

:07:37. > :07:41.There were no Gilmore is here yesterday but know there are

:07:42. > :07:44.thousands. It will become even more tightly packed over the coming days

:07:45. > :07:50.and then in ten weeks they will all be gone.

:07:51. > :07:55.The birds at the start of the show but some boring tears find other

:07:56. > :08:00.reasons to fall in love with Rathlin Island.

:08:01. > :08:09.The lighthouse has become renowned for being an opportunity for

:08:10. > :08:14.romance. Female volunteers have come over to work with the RSPB and have

:08:15. > :08:17.partnered up with island men so it is a very romantic place.

:08:18. > :08:21.This is the island's resident married couple.

:08:22. > :08:26.I've been interested in my life since I was a small child.

:08:27. > :08:30.The thing I like about the birds is that they are literally everywhere.

:08:31. > :08:34.It doesn't matter if you're out in the countryside or on a fantastic

:08:35. > :08:38.colony like this are in the middle of the city, there is always

:08:39. > :08:43.something interesting. The RSPB needs more volunteers

:08:44. > :08:47.before breeding season is out. We're hoping that they will get more

:08:48. > :08:49.helpers home to roost. Football, and the Northern

:08:50. > :08:51.Ireland manager, Michael O'Neill, has revealed

:08:52. > :08:53.he'll without key players for next week's World Cup qualifier

:08:54. > :08:56.away to Azerbaijan. Conor Washington and Jamie Ward join

:08:57. > :09:01.Will Grigg, Corey Evans Gareth McAuley and Craig Cathcart

:09:02. > :09:06.will miss the warm-up game against New Zealand this week

:09:07. > :09:10.but the manager is hopeful the defensive duo will be ready

:09:11. > :09:21.for the trip to Baku. Having spoke to both lads

:09:22. > :09:29.consistently and the medical team have been on top of everything for

:09:30. > :09:35.quite some time, we're rocks -- we are optimistic about them. We have

:09:36. > :09:37.to make sure that what we have is as prepared as possible and does the

:09:38. > :09:39.job. Barra Best can tell us

:09:40. > :09:53.about the prospects It is going to get better over the

:09:54. > :09:57.next few days. Overnight tonight, it will stay dry and mild, with

:09:58. > :10:02.temperatures for most of us staying at 11 or 12 degrees. But we have

:10:03. > :10:06.this next wave of rain ready to come in from the Atlantic first thing

:10:07. > :10:14.tomorrow and that gives us all a grey and damp start however it will

:10:15. > :10:19.improve later on. That wet weather creeps its way across all places but

:10:20. > :10:24.eventually will clear the east coast by lunchtime. Once it does so,

:10:25. > :10:31.plenty of dry and sunny weather. Quite cool in those onshore winds

:10:32. > :10:35.but inland things could get up to 17 Celsius. Not bad for the time of

:10:36. > :10:39.year, that's about normal. It will feel cooler in the north coast.

:10:40. > :10:47.Plenty of dry and sunny weather across Ireland. Cooler and fresher

:10:48. > :10:52.towards the north and the West but some areas near the South East

:10:53. > :10:55.Corner reaching 19 degrees. Fine tomorrow evening with sunshine

:10:56. > :11:00.heading our way. The winds will turn lighter as well. With the clear

:11:01. > :11:12.skies tomorrow night it will turn cool. It could feel quite chilly out

:11:13. > :11:17.there. A cold start Wednesday but not a bad day following that. There

:11:18. > :11:26.will be cloud coming and going but we can expect sunny gaps. The winds

:11:27. > :11:32.will change direction and stuck to come in from the south. Not a bad

:11:33. > :11:38.day on Wednesday. Rain is going to comment from the Atlantic to give us

:11:39. > :11:39.a soaking on Thursday. An improving picture on Friday scattered showers

:11:40. > :11:41.but also some sunshine. Our next BBC Newsline bulletin

:11:42. > :11:45.is at 10:30 this evening.
