A man is in a critical condition in hospital

:00:08.:00:12.

The incident happened in Britton's Parade,

:00:13.:00:15.

near the Whiterock Road, shortly after 9.00pm last night.

:00:16.:00:18.

Irishman Kevin Mallon, who was arrested in Brazil over

:00:19.:00:27.

alleged illegal ticket sales at the Olympic Games,

:00:28.:00:28.

Mr Mallon was released from Bangu prison just after 2.00am

:00:29.:00:34.

The Dublin-based director of THG Sports was arrested on the day

:00:35.:00:39.

of the Olympics' opening ceremony three weeks ago.

:00:40.:00:42.

As part of his bail conditions, Mr Mallon must stay in Brazil

:00:43.:00:45.

He must also alert authorities as to his whereabouts

:00:46.:00:53.

and is banned from any Olympic or Paralympic venue.

:00:54.:00:58.

The Belfast branch of BHS closed its doors for the last time

:00:59.:01:01.

today, ending a presence in the city's Castle Lane which goes

:01:02.:01:04.

Our reporter, Will Leitch, was there to see it close.

:01:05.:01:10.

It was a time for the very last bargains on the very last day of

:01:11.:01:18.

business. I hope you get good jobs. Even the

:01:19.:01:25.

plastic coat hangers were up for grabs. BHS opened in Belfast in 19

:01:26.:01:31.

1965. In the following decades it survived the very worst of the

:01:32.:01:35.

Troubles. The store was bombed several times. Today there was

:01:36.:01:38.

sadness from shoppers calling in one last time. . It is a bit of an end

:01:39.:01:45.

of an e-Rachel I used to shop there years ago for my children's clothes.

:01:46.:01:49.

It was brilliant. The staff were wonderful. It is so sad that the

:01:50.:01:54.

management have messed up. At BHS in Belfast, as at the other stores

:01:55.:01:58.

across Northern Ireland, the doors have now closed for the very last

:01:59.:02:02.

time. It means less choice for shoppers. It also means real worries

:02:03.:02:07.

about jobs and pensions for many staff.

:02:08.:02:10.

! We don't know because the company has obviously gone into liquidation,

:02:11.:02:14.

what is the result with regards to the redundancy. When will they get

:02:15.:02:19.

it? But more concerning to us is what is happening with their

:02:20.:02:23.

pensions. Despite all the uncertainty, after closing, those on

:02:24.:02:27.

duty today chose to remember the end of an era and the better times

:02:28.:02:29.

they'd had together. Thousands of people have

:02:30.:02:35.

attended the Belfast Mela It was a celebration of cultural

:02:36.:02:41.

diversity for all the family Food, fashion, fancy footwork and

:02:42.:02:52.

fun. Just a taster of what was on the

:02:53.:02:58.

menu at this year's Belfast Mela festival. Visitors attending the

:02:59.:03:01.

event were treated to the sights, sounds and smells of the world as

:03:02.:03:07.

countries from across the globe showcased their wares. Where else

:03:08.:03:12.

would you be on a sunny Sunday afternoon. It is fantastic. Botanic

:03:13.:03:18.

Gardens rocks. It is amazing to see many cultures together. Such lovely

:03:19.:03:22.

weather and the vibe ran sane the fact that everybody can have a good

:03:23.:03:26.

time together. The Mela has been running for ten years and it is

:03:27.:03:30.

stronger than ever. We are hoping to continue to grow the festival as it

:03:31.:03:35.

has been growing over the last ten years and bring more cultures and

:03:36.:03:38.

traditions into the park here for more and more people to come and

:03:39.:03:42.

enonline understand and feel part of Northern Ireland and part of the

:03:43.:03:46.

fabric of our country here. But while fun in the sun became too much

:03:47.:03:50.

for some, others took time to enjoy the flowers.

:03:51.:03:57.

A look ahead now to a story coming up this week on BBC Newsline.

:03:58.:03:59.

And as children go back to school, we've been asking

:04:00.:04:01.

you about the price of school uniform.

:04:02.:04:06.

Working it out, ?600 per child. And that's not even a couple of pound

:04:07.:04:17.

here or there. It is ?600 roughly, per child.

:04:18.:04:20.

We're hoping that the sun will come out again tomorrow,

:04:21.:04:28.

Not too bad a bank holiday weekend and it stays dry, however we have

:04:29.:04:37.

clear gaps in the sky which means it will be chilly in some countryside

:04:38.:04:40.

areas with temperatures dipping into the mid-figures. Most towns and

:04:41.:04:45.

cities, closer to double figures, but still, prepare yourself for a

:04:46.:04:49.

bit of a chill if you are out and about. As for bank holiday Monday,

:04:50.:04:53.

largely dry but more cloud around than there was today. To begin with,

:04:54.:04:58.

good gaps, sunny spells and the winds will stay light. Eventually

:04:59.:05:01.

the cloud will roll in from the Atlantic. However, ahead of it, if

:05:02.:05:09.

you are heading towards the north coast for the Auld Lammas fair

:05:10.:05:14.

atably castle, it may turn a git grey and some spots of drizzle.

:05:15.:05:20.

If you are travelling across Ireland, a few spots of weather

:05:21.:05:24.

coming into western counties. Lots of sunshine for many areas of

:05:25.:05:27.

:05:32.:05:35.

Atlantic, some wet weather across the north coast but the bulk of rain

:05:36.:05:39.

will head towards western Scotland later on in the day. For us

:05:40.:05:43.

tomorrow, despite the cloud it is still going to feel quite pleasant.

:05:44.:05:48.

Temperatures should reach 18, maybe 19 with a light south-westerly

:05:49.:05:51.
