:03:29. > :03:38.I think the bad stories are always promoted and publicised, at the

:04:29. > :04:31.military history of the area, so she is singing but also giving a bit of
:04:32. > :04:32.historical background. It would seem there's more to unite
:04:33. > :04:35.the two than divide them. Sport, and Ireland's Aileen Reid has
:04:36. > :04:38.finished 21st in the women's triathlon at the Olympic Games in

:04:40. > :04:42.minutes and 58 seconds behind the gold medal winner,
:04:43. > :04:46.Gwen Jorgensen of the USA. It hasn't been a great
:04:47. > :04:48.day weather-wise. Let's find out what's in store for
:04:49. > :05:00.the rest of the weekend. The worst of the wind and rain
:05:01. > :05:05.passed to the south of us, but still quite showery in places today
:05:06. > :05:09.especially Southern counties, and we are still likely to see some of
:05:10. > :05:13.those this evening, one or two could affect Bell sunny but tonight the
:05:14. > :05:18.westerly breeze clears them away, most places will end up dry through
:05:19. > :05:24.the night with variable cloud and quite mild. Tomorrow a better day,
:05:25. > :05:30.we soon see things brightening up, a lot of dry weather during the
:05:31. > :05:34.morning there are likely to be one or two showers, especially across
:05:35. > :05:39.Northern counties, and elsewhere across Ireland and Britain are much
:05:40. > :05:43.better day, winds a lot lighter than today, still a few showers towards
:05:44. > :05:47.the south-east of England and north-east of Scotland, but other
:05:48. > :05:53.than that a lot of dry weather and sunshine. Then we get rain pushing
:05:54. > :05:58.towards the south-west later in the day, probably not reaching Northern
:05:59. > :06:04.Ireland until the evening so in the afternoon it looks fine and dry with
:06:05. > :06:08.sunshine and temperatures up to 19 or 20, so not a bad day, there might
:06:09. > :06:14.be showers in the morning but they should fade away. On Monday after
:06:15. > :06:20.the rain moves through overnight, it clears away to leave a dry day and
:06:21. > :06:24.it should brighten up. On Tuesday we have a waving weather front
:06:25. > :06:29.affecting parts of the country and those waves could push rain towards
:06:30. > :06:32.us, especially eastern counties, but other than that mainly dry.
:06:33. > :06:35.BBC Newsline will be back tomorrow at 5:20pm.
