0:01:22 > 0:01:2530 years ago today an IRA bomb exploded
0:01:25 > 0:01:29at the Remembrance Day Service in Enniskillen.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Today a poignant memorial was held in the town to remember the
0:01:32 > 0:01:3412 people who died and the many more who were injured.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Our South west reporter Louise Cullen is there
0:01:36 > 0:01:43for us this evening.
0:01:43 > 0:01:51The 8th of November 19 87 is edged in the minds of the stone. People
0:01:51 > 0:01:57had gathered as they had done for decades before to loom via the war
0:01:57 > 0:02:06vets. -- they gathered to remember the war then. Today they gathered
0:02:06 > 0:02:11three decades on. So
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Today they gathered three decades on.
0:02:16 > 0:02:23the sentence of the dead remembering those lost. 11 were killed and a 12
0:02:23 > 0:02:29by 13 years later more than 60 injured. Those left behind came here
0:02:29 > 0:02:35to remember.Who never forget that. You don't think about it on a daily
0:02:35 > 0:02:43basis but the pain and the hurt always there. You learn to get
0:02:43 > 0:02:49through it day by day or year by year.The loss is just so terrible
0:02:49 > 0:02:56and someone just said to me last year the grief is the price of love
0:02:56 > 0:03:02and I never thought about it like that until I heard that, and it
0:03:02 > 0:03:10truly is.A memorial to the 12 bid was unveiled with each family facing
0:03:10 > 0:03:15their own grief. The families then went to a private memorial.People
0:03:15 > 0:03:22say time is a great healer but many of you would say that is not true in
0:03:22 > 0:03:27your experience. Over the passing of the years you learn to live with
0:03:27 > 0:03:31what happened but I do not think time heals all wounds such as ours.
0:03:31 > 0:03:37With like they were joined by invited guests. It was very eerie
0:03:37 > 0:03:41what a lot of silence and people were reflecting and they are being
0:03:41 > 0:03:45reflective now about the horror nature of what happened.Ten people
0:03:45 > 0:03:52were arrested no one has ever been charged.My heart goes out to the
0:03:52 > 0:03:56families and it is a future in the one has ever been brought to justice
0:03:56 > 0:04:01for the Enniskillen bombing but these cases never close and if new
0:04:01 > 0:04:07evidence comes to light the squad will pursue it. We the memorial has
0:04:07 > 0:04:16gone storage. There has yet to be agreement on where it will be
0:04:16 > 0:04:19permanently placed. Later we will look at how time has
0:04:19 > 0:04:27moved on since that day in 1987. -- how the town has moved on since that
0:04:27 > 0:04:32day.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34The public inquiry into the RHI scheme has heard claims
0:04:34 > 0:04:36that officials pushed ahead with its introduction,
0:04:36 > 0:04:38against expert advice, because their then minister
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Arlene Foster wanted it to start without delay.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43The experts were so concerned they wanted a record
0:04:43 > 0:04:45that their advice had not been heeded.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49The inquiry was told the accuracy of the claim
0:04:49 > 0:04:49would need to be scrutinised.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Conor Macauley reports.
0:04:51 > 0:04:57The minister in charge of the department with responsibility for
0:04:57 > 0:05:02this Arlene Foster came under huge pressure and today the enquiry heard
0:05:02 > 0:05:05the claim officials pushed ahead with the scheme against expert
0:05:05 > 0:05:10advice because she wanted to get it up and running. It was based on the
0:05:10 > 0:05:15minute of the conference between her officials in her department and the
0:05:15 > 0:05:21regulator which was helping to introduce the scheme. The regulator
0:05:21 > 0:05:25told the enquiry it wanted her officials to delay its low cost
0:05:25 > 0:05:30controls being imposed in Britain could be replicated in our
0:05:30 > 0:05:39regulations. Ofgem personnel advised them to wait
0:05:39 > 0:05:44until the petition regulations have been amended and that would make it
0:05:44 > 0:05:49risks the draft Northern Ireland regulations currently posed. They
0:05:49 > 0:05:56recorded the minister's wish to proceed with out these amendments.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00He urged a note of caution and said the first thing was to establish
0:06:00 > 0:06:04whether the minute of the teleconference was I to that of what
0:06:04 > 0:06:10had been said and the next thing to work out was where officials got the
0:06:10 > 0:06:15idea Arlene Foster was adamant it should go ahead and was that based
0:06:15 > 0:06:18on conversations with the Minister for her special adviser and were the
0:06:18 > 0:06:23records of those conversations? She said there was a lack of evidence at
0:06:23 > 0:06:28the moment as to whether the warnings from Ofgem had been
0:06:28 > 0:06:31referred up the chain of command to ministerial level.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35The plan was to review the regulations the summer after the
0:06:35 > 0:06:40scheme started and update them with the cost controls but that did not
0:06:40 > 0:06:45happen. The opening of the enquiry is long and detailed but every day
0:06:45 > 0:06:49it is throwing up new information about the reasons behind the biggest
0:06:49 > 0:06:52financial mess we have ever had.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54A man from Belfast claims he was sexually assaulted
0:06:54 > 0:06:56by the Holywood actor Kevin Spacey.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Kris Nixon was working in a bar in London which he says Spacey went
0:06:59 > 0:07:06to when he was Artistic Director at the Old Vic theatre.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Just to warn you, this report contains flash photography
0:07:08 > 0:07:09and graphic content.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Helen Jones reports.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18It took just one allegation for more to follow and now a man from Belfast
0:07:18 > 0:07:23says he was sexually assaulted by Kevin Spacey.At the after party I
0:07:23 > 0:07:29was sitting on a sofa with my then girlfriend, she got up and Kevin
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Spacey sat down next to me and asked if that was my girlfriend and then
0:07:34 > 0:07:38reached over and grabbed my Venus. It is alleged he then made lewd
0:07:38 > 0:07:41comments.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50Kris Nixon says he got up and left. He was working in a bar in the
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Waterloo area of London that was frequented by Kevin Spacey at that
0:07:54 > 0:07:59time. A couple of weeks after the party he was in the bar with staff
0:07:59 > 0:08:04from the theatre, I went down to the basement stockroom and heard
0:08:04 > 0:08:09footsteps behind me and it was Kevin Spacey, he reached forward and
0:08:09 > 0:08:14grabbed my waistband and said something to the effect of, let me
0:08:14 > 0:08:19make it up to you. I pushed past him and went upstairs. Chris said he
0:08:19 > 0:08:24felt he could not make a scene. I could not complain because he was
0:08:24 > 0:08:29a customer and I did not want to risk getting fired and he is a big
0:08:29 > 0:08:34celebrities who would believe it happened. Then he went to the bar to
0:08:34 > 0:08:39order a drink and I told him in no uncertain terms where he could go.
0:08:39 > 0:08:47Then I went out I came back and I never saw him again.The first
0:08:47 > 0:08:50allegation was made by an American actor over a week ago and since then
0:08:50 > 0:08:55Kevin Spacey's life, career and conduct has come under intense
0:08:55 > 0:08:58scrutiny. At the time I did not believe anyone
0:08:58 > 0:09:02would believe me but now it has become clear this is a pattern of
0:09:02 > 0:09:06behaviour and there is plenty of other people who have experienced
0:09:06 > 0:09:10this I feel I have a responsibility to say what happened so other people
0:09:10 > 0:09:17who do not feel in a position to speak out feel the can do so.Kevin
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Spacey has not responded yet to any of the allegations after previously
0:09:21 > 0:09:25saying he was taking time to seek treatment.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26A number of business owners
0:09:26 > 0:09:29in Northern Ireland have been involved in off-shore tax avoidance
0:09:29 > 0:09:30a BBC investigation has revealed.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The information is part of the mass leak of documents known
0:09:33 > 0:09:35as the Paradise Papers.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36The leak has revealed the off-shore schemes
0:09:36 > 0:09:38used by sports stars, political leaders
0:09:38 > 0:09:41and global businesses.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44But they have also been used by local people.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46We've been investigating one tax avoidance scheme which involved
0:09:46 > 0:09:47local business owners.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49There's no suggestion that those involved have acted illegally.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55John Campbell reports.
0:09:55 > 0:10:03With this is Sam McCrea speaking to the BBC ten years ago. This is his
0:10:03 > 0:10:11wife -- he owned a business with his wife. They employ more than 150
0:10:11 > 0:10:19people and turns over about £20 million a year. It has had help from
0:10:19 > 0:10:26an investment company since 2008. In 2014 the company headquarters were
0:10:26 > 0:10:31valued at £4 million. The following year the property was sold for just
0:10:31 > 0:10:37£1. The new owner was based here, the Indian Ocean island of
0:10:37 > 0:10:44Mauritius. It was described in the accounts as an unconnected third
0:10:44 > 0:10:58party. They agreed they would pay this unconnected party...
0:10:58 > 0:11:01The BBC has seen documents would suggest the McCrea is actually
0:11:01 > 0:11:08controlled that company in Mauritius and they had given the valuable
0:11:08 > 0:11:12property to themselves in all but name. And that is not the end of the
0:11:12 > 0:11:18potential advantages from their offshore arrangements. Sam McCrea
0:11:18 > 0:11:20transferred £200,000 into his Northern Irish bank account by
0:11:20 > 0:11:24borrowing money from the company in Mauritius he apparently controlled
0:11:24 > 0:11:33as a loan so it would not be of liable for tax.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38Their lawyers said...
0:11:47 > 0:11:57Invest Ni is a shill for the -- is a shareholder in Sam McCrea's company.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01They said...
0:12:12 > 0:12:17Tonight and later this week in the Northern Show will have more on
0:12:17 > 0:12:23these revelations from malicious. -- Nolan Show.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Leo Varadkar has become the first Taoiseach to wear
0:12:26 > 0:12:28an Irish-themed red poppy badge in the Dail - in remembrance
0:12:28 > 0:12:31of Irish soldiers who fought and died in the First World War.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33The shamrock poppy has been commissioned by the Irish branch
0:12:33 > 0:12:34of the Royal British Legion.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38Rick Faragher reports.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43This is the emblem worn by Leo Varadkar yesterday, a poppy over a
0:12:43 > 0:12:47shamrock. It was commissioned three years ago to mark the outbreak of
0:12:47 > 0:12:57the Great War. Between 1914 and 1918, 200,000 soldiers from Ireland
0:12:57 > 0:13:04served in the British Army. 35,000 of them died. Red poppies like these
0:13:04 > 0:13:08as part of this exhibition at the Ulster Museum are used in the UK and
0:13:08 > 0:13:12several other countries to remember the dead from the Great War and
0:13:12 > 0:13:18other service men and women who have died since.We allow the poppy to be
0:13:18 > 0:13:24part of unionism and may allow the Irish lily to be taken over by
0:13:24 > 0:13:27militant nationalism but it know it is time to try and take back those
0:13:27 > 0:13:43symbols because we have a proud history and -- taken over by Irish
0:13:43 > 0:13:45nationalism. The tradition of Irish people and
0:13:45 > 0:13:50their sacrifice and contribution to the first and Second World War. How
0:13:50 > 0:13:56that is done is up to them, whether it is a wide shamrock poppy, a red
0:13:56 > 0:14:00poppy on the topic at all. The spokesperson for the Taoiseach's
0:14:00 > 0:14:02office said...
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Today the Royal British Legion clarified this and said...
0:14:27 > 0:14:33Sinn Fein say the decision to wear the poppy is Leo Varadkar was my
0:14:33 > 0:14:39choice. Until yesterday the Shamrock poppy was a little-known symbol.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Whether its popularity increases will only be seen in the years
0:14:42 > 0:14:43ahead.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44Irish rugby officials have complained
0:14:44 > 0:14:46to the world rugby authorities about the selection process
0:14:46 > 0:14:47for the 2023 World Cup.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Ireland are hoping to host the tournament for the first time
0:14:50 > 0:14:53in Dublin and Belfast, but were ranked last
0:14:53 > 0:14:56in an evaluation of the three host-bids last week.
0:14:56 > 0:15:05BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has seen the letter of complaint.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It looks like Ireland's Rugby World Cup bid has little chance of success
0:15:11 > 0:15:19but they are not going down that the fight. Last week South Africa were
0:15:19 > 0:15:24recommended as the preferred hosts. Ireland say the process was not
0:15:24 > 0:15:28fair.Rugby is tough on the pitch but off the pitch that is normally
0:15:28 > 0:15:34very friendly. Not when it comes to the battle to host the 2023 World
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Cup. Behind the scenes Ireland are furious at how it has been handled
0:15:38 > 0:15:42and they have listed their complaints in a long letter to the
0:15:42 > 0:15:48world rugby authorities. They have nine different queries about the
0:15:48 > 0:15:51selection process and say they want answers and even directly criticise
0:15:51 > 0:15:56the rival South African bid and talk about the empty stay incentive that
0:15:56 > 0:16:02look at some recent matches. I'll believe stadiums at an Irish World
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Cup would be fooled and overall they say Ireland's bid has been assessed
0:16:07 > 0:16:09on a reasonably -- -- date would be fooled and overall they say
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Ireland's bid has been assessed on a reasonably -- -- the would-be fool
0:16:12 > 0:16:14and they believe their bed has been assessed and reasonably. Ireland
0:16:14 > 0:16:17want to know whether the process of recommending South Africa included
0:16:17 > 0:16:22an independent security review of the country. The letter and they
0:16:22 > 0:16:29ask, if not, why? This may all be far too late but Ireland is still
0:16:29 > 0:16:33trying to fight this case. A final vote on the World Cup bid will pick
0:16:33 > 0:16:38place in London this day next week.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Now back to the 30th anniversary of the Enniskillen
0:16:40 > 0:16:43bombing and the special memorial service held in the town today.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Louise Cullen is there for us.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49Louise.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51One of the victims...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53One of the victims of the bombing was
0:16:53 > 0:16:5520-year-old nurse Marie Wilson - her father Gordon was
0:16:55 > 0:16:56injured in the attack.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59His widow Joan Wilson has told the BBC about the moment
0:16:59 > 0:17:06she had to tell Gordon of his beloved daughter's death.
0:17:06 > 0:17:13It was my painful duty to go down and tell him she had passed away and
0:17:13 > 0:17:23on the way home from the hospital he said to all us in the car, my son
0:17:23 > 0:17:28driving, my daughter beside me, "Let's try and be as dignified and
0:17:28 > 0:17:37as as we can in the coming days." You can see that interview in full
0:17:37 > 0:17:43on BBC One on Sunday at 4:20pm.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45The words of Joan's husband Gordon reasonated around
0:17:45 > 0:17:46the world after the bombing.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48His wish was for the people of Enniskillen and Northern
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Ireland to come together.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55Mervyn Jess has been looking at how the town has moved on.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00The poppy has a special place in Enniskillen. On the face of it it is
0:18:00 > 0:18:06a bustling town but this is a place with a dark past. The IRA
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Remembrance Sunday bombing 30 years ago blew a large and gaping hole in
0:18:10 > 0:18:13this community and in the aftermath of the words and actions of local
0:18:13 > 0:18:20people help keep a lid on a very volatile situation.I do not feel
0:18:20 > 0:18:25bitterness. People are surprised that they do not, but I do not. I
0:18:25 > 0:18:31prayed for them aside. Sincerely. Gordon Wilson saying he would pray
0:18:31 > 0:18:36for the bombers who killed his daughter and 11 others led to the
0:18:36 > 0:18:41setting up
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Enniskillen trust to foster reconciliation.We were trying to
0:18:47 > 0:18:50encourage not just community relations but an understanding of
0:18:50 > 0:18:56the spectacle can have four people bash at the Respect people can have
0:18:56 > 0:19:02for people with a different faith and culture. -- the Respect people
0:19:02 > 0:19:05can have for people with a different faith and culture and I believe
0:19:05 > 0:19:10because of that we have better community relations. Those
0:19:10 > 0:19:12representing the Protestant and Catholic faith in the town have
0:19:12 > 0:19:19played their part.Lots of families have suffered as a result of the
0:19:19 > 0:19:23troubles and we have got to acknowledge that and try and not put
0:19:23 > 0:19:30it in the past or forget it, but we have got to try and learn from the
0:19:30 > 0:19:36past and build together something new or some hope for the future out
0:19:36 > 0:19:41of hurt. The amount of shame people felt, my
0:19:41 > 0:19:47God, it was an awful shock. I think the wake-up call, not only for this
0:19:47 > 0:19:53part of the island, but the whole island as well. I think the
0:19:53 > 0:19:58narrative of separateness which had developed, particularly since the
0:19:58 > 0:20:0550th anniversary of the 1916 rising, I think that narrative of
0:20:05 > 0:20:12separateness seemed to reach its absolute expression here, the logic
0:20:12 > 0:20:18of it...Five years ago the Queen chose to make her own statement,
0:20:18 > 0:20:21crossing the street from the Church of Ireland Cathedral to St
0:20:21 > 0:20:26Michael's, the first time she had visited the Catholic Church on the
0:20:26 > 0:20:31island. The former editor of the impartial Reporter has his own
0:20:31 > 0:20:36thoughts on how the people of the area have dealt with what happened.
0:20:36 > 0:20:44I think Enniskillen held its breath. This is a town that had always good
0:20:44 > 0:20:47community relations but in the event everyone literally held their breath
0:20:47 > 0:20:52to see what would happen. The community moves on but there are
0:20:52 > 0:20:57people still suffering physical pain after 30 years. It is remarkable to
0:20:57 > 0:21:03think people still have physical pain and psychological issues over
0:21:03 > 0:21:0730 years. So while the community has moved on, as it should, there are
0:21:07 > 0:21:13still people who are suffering.No one is suggesting Enniskillen has a
0:21:13 > 0:21:17monopoly on the pain inflicted by the troubles, but for a time the
0:21:17 > 0:21:22eyes of the world fell upon this place and even today people still
0:21:22 > 0:21:32look to it for directions toward a sheer and peaceful future. -- Shaer
0:21:32 > 0:21:38and the peaceful future. You can see the memorial has been removed and
0:21:38 > 0:21:43that is because there is continuing controversy over its final location,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47with consultation is continuing. But that is for the future and today was
0:21:47 > 0:21:57about remember that a tragedy and the turning point of 12 I've lost.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59-- 12 lives lost.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Michael & Martin O'Neill have the World Cup
0:22:01 > 0:22:03play offs on their minds - Stephen Watson is here.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland
0:22:05 > 0:22:08are two games away from the World Cup in Russia next summer.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Northern Ireland are first into action tomorrow
0:22:10 > 0:22:12in the first leg of their play off against Switzerland.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Manager Michael O'Neill is trying to guide his team to back
0:22:15 > 0:22:16to back major finals.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18The tie with the Swiss will be tough but o'Neill
0:22:18 > 0:22:23says his players are ready.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28Overtime this team has evolved and come through bad times, it has
0:22:28 > 0:22:32learned from those bad times and when you get through those times as
0:22:32 > 0:22:37a player or a coach and you have what we have now with the experience
0:22:37 > 0:22:42of the past few years you want it to last. We have to play with an
0:22:42 > 0:22:47intensity, rather than a physicality and we want it to be an end to end
0:22:47 > 0:22:54the game with lots of running and power. The crowd will certainly play
0:22:54 > 0:22:56a big part, they will energise the team.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57Should Michael O'Neill's men make it
0:22:57 > 0:23:01to Russia, then history beckons for these two Rathcoole brothers.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Jonny & Corry Evans are on the brink of becoming the first siblings
0:23:04 > 0:23:06from here to represent Northern Ireland at
0:23:06 > 0:23:07a World Cup tournament.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13Joel Taggart reports.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16Delivering the football dream. A journey that started with two
0:23:16 > 0:23:21brothers imitating former World Cup winners during school holidays could
0:23:21 > 0:23:24be about to take them to the finals next summer.
0:23:24 > 0:23:32The first house we lived in we used to call outs and there was the roads
0:23:32 > 0:23:40but he was always Brazil, I was utterly. I was Maldini he was
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Carlos. -- I was Italy. Playing together on
0:23:45 > 0:23:48the pitch and ready made and remit of it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:54You had your own room for a while and when I came in the squad...
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Yeah, when he came in the squad I requested... When we were both there
0:23:58 > 0:24:05we always shared together and it has been all right. We just spent half
0:24:05 > 0:24:09the time trying to scare each other when one goes out of the room the
0:24:09 > 0:24:14other one is hiding behind the door. But things are about to get serious
0:24:14 > 0:24:17as the phase two of the biggest games of their international
0:24:17 > 0:24:22careers. It is like two cup finals. We will
0:24:22 > 0:24:27approach the two games differently but for the prize that is at stake,
0:24:27 > 0:24:32we are within touching distance of that dream of playing in the World
0:24:32 > 0:24:39Cup. It is how you prepare now. It is a situation we have never been
0:24:39 > 0:24:43in before and we have got to embrace it and give it everything. The fact
0:24:43 > 0:24:48we are at home first gives us the opportunity to put a marker down
0:24:48 > 0:24:52early on in the time and hopefully that can play into our hands.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58As long as we are competitors and apply ourselves in the right way we
0:24:58 > 0:25:00will go close. Close to the childhood dream of
0:25:00 > 0:25:04playing in the World Cup. This time though, the Evans brothers would be
0:25:04 > 0:25:06on the same side.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Tomorrow evening's game is live on BBC Radio Ulster.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Meanwhile, Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland are also in first leg
0:25:12 > 0:25:15play off action in Copenhagen on Saturday & the squad travels
0:25:15 > 0:25:23to Demark in confident mood.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28One thing I have always thought about this group is the will to win
0:25:28 > 0:25:32has been unbelievable. Our team spirit is probably different to what
0:25:32 > 0:25:37the lads have had their clothes but I think the Wales game for us, the
0:25:37 > 0:25:44way we into that game, it's the same kind of pressure situation as this
0:25:44 > 0:25:48and if we have the same sort of mindset as we did against Wales we
0:25:48 > 0:25:54can achieve what they want. That is it for now. What's more
0:25:54 > 0:26:01built up tomorrow. I will be live at Windsor Park for the first leg of
0:26:01 > 0:26:02that tie between Northern Ireland and Switzerland.
0:26:02 > 0:26:09Now let's check on the weather. The clear skies yesterday gave us some
0:26:09 > 0:26:11cracking views
0:26:11 > 0:26:11clear skies yesterday gave us some cracking views of the Northern
0:26:11 > 0:26:15lights. Thank you for your photographs and please keep them
0:26:15 > 0:26:19coming in. Tonight we have quite a lot of cloud and some patchy rain
0:26:19 > 0:26:29and drizzle but not as cold-mac. He drives that for most tomorrow apart
0:26:29 > 0:26:34from the odd isolated shower and plenty of sunshine through the day.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37The north-westerly wind making it feel slightly more fresher but
0:26:37 > 0:26:45generally speaking tomorrow is not a bad picture with plenty of dry and
0:26:45 > 0:26:49sunny weather. Some cloud later on from the West but eventually staying
0:26:49 > 0:26:53dry for most of the day. Similar route across the island was plenty
0:26:53 > 0:26:58of dry and sunny weather but the clothes are coming in from the West,
0:26:58 > 0:27:05gradually pushing eastwards. Reaching western counties later in
0:27:05 > 0:27:10the day. We eventually seek the rain coming in tomorrow night, moving
0:27:10 > 0:27:16eastwards and heavy in some places. Most of it clears through the night
0:27:16 > 0:27:25into Friday morning. Turning cold it. -- behind it. A chill in the air
0:27:25 > 0:27:28first thing on Friday but he drives start with plenty of bright weather
0:27:28 > 0:27:34but that will be short-lived. The next band of rain comes in with more
0:27:34 > 0:27:43cloudy conditions and the breeze from West. As for the weekend, we
0:27:43 > 0:27:49begin -- dragging in cold beer from the Arctic, a scattering of showers
