Somebody up above has been giving us the message to get out.

Joe, his son Paul and his 14-year-old son and ten-year-old

Six hours later, Joe and Paul were back.

The next thing, there was a clap of thunder

It woke her and she was quite frightened.

We were settling down again and the next thing there

The electric went out and the alarms went off

My dad had woken and he said there was something not right upstairs.

It turned out there was a little trap door in his room into the eaves

of the house and he opened it up and there was a fire.

We had a fire extinguisher in the kitchen that I thought

I could use, but it was pitch black and I couldn't find anything.

So I was going back up to say we can't get this sorted,

On the way past the living room we are standing in front of now,

I went past the door and I saw a large fire had just taken place

How did it start upstairs and then travel down into the living room?

They reckon the lightning struck the aerial upstairs and followed

cabling which went through the house,

which was where the small fire was in my father's room, the eaves.

They came down to the aerial socket behind the TV in the living room.

It is very sad to see this, it has been your family home.

Family home. It is terribly upsetting.

There are memories inside your head as well.

I am not worried about materials, don't get me wrong, I am not even

I am so glad that everybody is out and safe.

SuperValu, Mace and Centra have refused to accept a 10%

price hike in many big brand products and so are no

Our economics and business editor John Campbell asks if it is

the first sign of rising prices across the economy.

These popular brands could be disappearing

Unilever say they have no choice but to increase prices.

They blame the fall in the value of the pound, which puts up

the cost of importing ingredients and materials.

They want retailers like these to absorb some of that rising cost.

The retailers say that's asking too much, and so they won't

It is about ensuring that families don't pay any more for their grocery

bills, hard-working families are under enough pressure.

Strip down all the talk about referendums and multinationals,

it is about ensuring working families get a fair deal

I hope that the negotiations will be successful.

Tesco have reached a deal with Unilever, although the details

Whatever has been agreed, it seems certain that the price of a weekly

shop is heading up. Just look at how much food

the UK imports. More than a quarter comes

from the EU, and the rest A weaker pound makes those

imports more expensive. The last two years have seen

abnormally low inflation of less than 1%. Many economists think that

either is drawing to a close. We will see falling food and fuel

prices will reverse. We will see those increasing in 2017. Overall,

falling sales and develop new markets. In the long-term, it should

be good news. But in the short term, it will squeeze many household

of what could be another momentous At the same venue last year,

he clinched his first world title, You think like a champion

and you act like a champion, you want to be a champion,

and after achieving what I did last year,

it is all a little bit more real, so I have got less stress to be

honest, because I wanted it so bad last year and I only had

deal of dry weather. Gaps in the cloud, so temperatures could drop to

increase as the night goes on. Some clouds moving in as well. That is

ahead of quite a wet spell. At least for a while tomorrow. Maybe plan

your outdoor activities for the second half of the day. If you're up

early, dry weather around as well and even sunshine in the north

coast. That is because this strip of rain is edging up from the south. It

will not reach the North coast until well into the morning. It will bring

maybe 2-4 hours of wet weather across much of Northern Ireland.

Behind it, sunny skies edge north across the Republic. That joins up

with rain over Scotland. The rainfall warning has been issued for

areas of Scotland because of a build-up of Rainer next day or so.

Sunshine develops in the Midlands, Wales and south-east England and

showers inside England which will head north was later. For much of

Northern Ireland, drying process in the afternoon. Temperatures begin up

in the subject is 13-14dC. Not particularly windy. There will be

showers around on Saturday night and Sunday morning, which will be heavy

with the risk of undermining. Some sunshine in the middle of Sunday

before more showers moving later in the day. An unsettled weekend.

Hopefully you can make the most of the dry gaps.
