:00:32. > :00:38.A scene of sadness beyond description and belief. The coffins
:00:39. > :00:45.of five members of an entire family are carried into a country church
:00:46. > :00:50.for a requiem mass. Parents Alan and Clodagh Hawe, and Liam, Niall and

:00:54. > :01:00.Hundreds turned up to pay their respects. The priest said that the

:01:22. > :01:26.Now that the funerals have taken place, they are being left to grieve
:01:27. > :01:29.and trying to make some sense out of what had happened.
:01:30. > :01:32.A service has been held in northern France to mark the centenary

:02:00. > :02:04.British and Irish soldiers joined honouring the dead at the 16th Irish

:02:10. > :02:14.the Irish Defence Forces mounted the ceremonial cenotaph guard. There are
:02:15. > :02:20.politicians laid wreaths. Laurel from for the UK. Hundreds gathered
:02:21. > :02:26.at the granite Celtic cross erected in memory of the day that the 16th
:02:27. > :02:30.Irish division. The Stormont junior minister of the DUP lead a read, as
:02:31. > :02:35.the Secretary of State and the Irish Minister for regional development,
:02:36. > :02:39.Heather Humphreys. It just goes to show the great cooperation there is
:02:40. > :02:44.between the defence forces in the UK and in Ireland and in Northern
:02:45. > :02:49.Ireland. And it is great to see as all here today united in remembering
:02:50. > :02:51.all of those who gave their lives in the First World War, and
:02:52. > :02:57.particularly at the Battle of the Somme. There is a growing confidence
:02:58. > :03:02.within nationalism and unionism to recognise some of our shared
:03:03. > :03:06.history. I am encouraged by the fact that so many nationalists are
:03:07. > :03:09.willing to recognise the role the ancestors paid in the Great War.
:03:10. > :03:14.This was a special moment here in this rural French village. When
:03:15. > :03:17.British and Irish, long divided by history, were united in remembering
:03:18. > :03:21.the sacrifice of young Irish men who died fighting here at the Somme.
:03:22. > :03:23.Onto sport, and Northern Ireland are in Prague this weekend to take

:03:26. > :03:36.The team's feeling positive after the Euros.
:03:37. > :03:40.The confidence we have is a collective team is absolutely
:03:41. > :03:46.fantastic. I think the most important thing that Michael made
:03:47. > :03:50.clear is that he wanted continuity. So most of the team, basically all
:03:51. > :03:54.of the team we have, have sort of progressed onto the World Cup from
:03:55. > :03:59.the Urals. Some have been dropped by injury and a couple of new faces
:04:00. > :04:02.Broughton, but the major part of the starting 11 is basically the same.
:04:03. > :04:10.So, are fundamental as the team have not changed, so we are going into
:04:11. > :04:12.this campaign was probably even more confidence than we did with Euro
:04:13. > :04:13.campaign. In rugby, Ireland have made a bid
:04:14. > :04:16.to host the 2023 World Cup, along with France, Italy and South
:04:17. > :04:18.Africa. World Rugby confirmed that the four
:04:19. > :04:20.unions submitted their applications Ireland and Italy have never staged
:04:21. > :04:24.the event although games were played No sunshine today -
:04:25. > :04:28.but will there be any Here's Angie with
:04:29. > :04:39.the weekend weather. Hello, good evening. After a
:04:40. > :04:44.disappointing day today at least the second half of the weekend is
:04:45. > :04:47.looking a little bit better. But, for this evening, still from rain to
:04:48. > :04:52.content within places. Where those showers come along, a few could be
:04:53. > :04:54.heavy. Maybe even a rumble or two of thunder. That theme continues
:04:55. > :04:57.throughout the night, particularly for part of the north and east.
:04:58. > :05:03.Again, heavy bursts possible. Eventually drying up towards the
:05:04. > :05:20.West. It is a mild-mannered, but lows
:05:21. > :05:25.of 11- at least would like a better day. A lot of dry weather in the
:05:26. > :05:27.forecast and some sunshine. Probably starting at quite cloudy and done,
:05:28. > :05:29.particularly in parts of the East, before the rain clears away, and
:05:30. > :05:32.those skies start to Britain. Also breaking up across the Republic. In
:05:33. > :05:34.the meantime, that fragmenting band of rain moves away. Eventually down
:05:35. > :05:37.towards the east and south east, but broke up in between. Temperatures in
:05:38. > :05:39.the south east should get into the low 20s. It is a better day for
:05:40. > :05:42.Northern Ireland tomorrow. Still a fair amount of sunshine around in
:05:43. > :05:46.the afternoon. Although it probably will become quite hazy. Feeling
:05:47. > :05:49.fairly pleasant. House of 19 towards the South East so maybe a bit
:05:50. > :05:53.fresher on part of the North Coast. A little bit of a change again
:05:54. > :05:57.tomorrow night. Another weather front moves in bringing increasingly
:05:58. > :06:00.wet weather. The isobars are packing in as well, those will become quite
:06:01. > :06:05.breezy. But once it is clear is not too much rain during the first half
:06:06. > :06:06.of next week. Variable, often large amounts of cloud. Some bright spells
:06:07. > :06:07.and it is warming up. In the meantime you can keep
