Good evening. on the BBC News Channel,

:00:00.:00:00.

The son of former loyalist paramilitary leader Johnny Adair has

:00:00.:00:08.

Local police said they were called to reports of a body at a property

:00:09.:00:16.

in Troon in south Ayrshire yesterday evening.

:00:17.:00:19.

Officers said they were treating the death as unexplained

:00:20.:00:21.

and a post-mortem examination would be carried out.

:00:22.:00:25.

Jonathan Adair junior, who was in his early thirties,

:00:26.:00:28.

had recently been released from prison.

:00:29.:00:29.

He left Northern Ireland in 2003 along with his family

:00:30.:00:32.

A man in his forties is critically ill after a hit

:00:33.:00:38.

He was knocked down while walking on the Lisburn Road close

:00:39.:00:42.

to Wellesley Avenue shortly before 10 o'clock last night.

:00:43.:00:46.

Police say the silver car involved, which is believed to have

:00:47.:00:50.

significant frontal damage, didn't stop.

:00:51.:00:52.

The driver continued along the Lisburn Road following

:00:53.:00:55.

the crash, and then may have turned left towards the Malone Road.

:00:56.:00:59.

In Londonderry, a man in his twenties is critically ill

:01:00.:01:03.

after he was assaulted in Waterloo Street in the early

:01:04.:01:05.

An articulated lorry crashed into Foyleside shopping centre

:01:06.:01:13.

The Poundland vehicle had been parked nearby for a delivery,

:01:14.:01:19.

when it suddenly started rolling down a hill.

:01:20.:01:22.

No one was injured, but police are investigating the incident.

:01:23.:01:24.

BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has been to the scene.

:01:25.:01:32.

The vehicle was found embedded into the side of Foyleside shopping

:01:33.:01:40.

centre at 4.45 this morning. Thanks to CCTV, the authorities now

:01:41.:01:44.

know how it got there. It had been involved in a delivery to Poundland

:01:45.:01:49.

am right at the top of this hill. Somehow, the vehicle careered out of

:01:50.:01:52.

control and bounced off that wall and then that wall. You can see the

:01:53.:01:58.

scrapes and the damage it caused. The vehicle weighed more than ten

:01:59.:02:03.

tonnes. It took out road bollards on the left-hand side before taking out

:02:04.:02:06.

two sets of traffic lights at the bottom, before crashing into

:02:07.:02:11.

Foyleside. The police know what happened, but they don't yet know

:02:12.:02:15.

how. An investigation is under way to see if there was a mechanical

:02:16.:02:21.

failure in the lorry, human error, or if passers-by deliberately let

:02:22.:02:25.

off the brakes. I understand from speaking to the police that they are

:02:26.:02:28.

keen to speak to three young males who were seen in the vicinity at the

:02:29.:02:31.

time of the incident. I would appeal to them to come

:02:32.:02:39.

forward, just to eliminate themselves. Someone could have come

:02:40.:02:42.

around the corner at the traffic lights, even at that time of the

:02:43.:02:45.

morning, and they would not have stood a chance. It is by the grace

:02:46.:02:50.

of God that no one was killed or injured. It took most of the day to

:02:51.:02:54.

remove the vehicle from the side of the shopping centre. It will take a

:02:55.:02:56.

lot longer to repair the damage. The Police Ombudsman has been asked

:02:57.:03:00.

to investigate why the PSNI has not questioned Martin McGuinness

:03:01.:03:03.

about Bloody Sunday. The DUP MP Gregory Campbell

:03:04.:03:06.

complained to the Ombudsman after police refused to say

:03:07.:03:08.

whether or not they plan to interview the Deputy First

:03:09.:03:13.

Minister. Mr Campbell says he should

:03:14.:03:15.

be questioned as part The same report that concluded that

:03:16.:03:30.

the soldiers had some questions to answer also concluded that Martin

:03:31.:03:34.

McGuinness probably had a submachinegun. Now, nobody seriously

:03:35.:03:38.

believes that Martin McGuinness was planting tomatoes with the

:03:39.:03:42.

submachinegun. He had a submachinegun. What was he doing

:03:43.:03:45.

with that? The police need to question him about that. They have

:03:46.:03:48.

failed to answer whether they are going to do that. Now it is the

:03:49.:03:54.

policing ombudsman's job to establish why they intend not to do

:03:55.:03:57.

it, and if necessary, to say that they should.

:03:58.:03:59.

Nama has reported its former Northern Ireland advisor

:04:00.:04:01.

Frank Cushnahan to the Garda and the National Crime Agency,

:04:02.:04:03.

The Sunday Times has reported that the move was prompted by last

:04:04.:04:07.

week's BBC Spotlight programme, which was broadcast last Tuesday.

:04:08.:04:09.

Mr Cushnahan has denied any wrongdoing.

:04:10.:04:10.

He told the BBC he wouldn't be providing any further response

:04:11.:04:14.

because of the ongoing NCA investigation.

:04:15.:04:18.

The police are understood to be investigating a death threat

:04:19.:04:20.

from dissident republicans against the Glentoran

:04:21.:04:24.

It's reported the former Glasgow Rangers player, who signed

:04:25.:04:28.

for the East Belfast side in July, was informed of the threat

:04:29.:04:32.

Glentoran have confirmed a threat has been made against one

:04:33.:04:37.

of their players and they say they're working with police.

:04:38.:04:44.

I understand that death threats have been received. Who they are from, I

:04:45.:04:50.

have no idea. I would appeal to anybody who does know to give that

:04:51.:04:54.

information to the police, because it is important that the culprit or

:04:55.:04:59.

culprits are apprehended. This is appalling. In my lifetime supporting

:05:00.:05:04.

Glentoran, I have been involved with many roles with them. I have only

:05:05.:05:11.

heard of one incident involving a threat against a Glentoran player.

:05:12.:05:14.

Team Ireland athlete Michael McKillop has

:05:15.:05:17.

struck gold again in the Paralympics.

:05:18.:05:18.

The Glengormley athlete clinched first place this

:05:19.:05:20.

from Canada's Liam Stanley to retain his 1,500 metre title.

:05:21.:05:24.

It's the fourth gold medal of McKillop's Paralympic career,

:05:25.:05:26.

having previously won at the Beijing and London Games.

:05:27.:05:32.

Meanwhile, Newtownards swimmer Bethany Firth came first in her 200m

:05:33.:05:34.

freestyle heat this afternoon and will aim to claim her second

:05:35.:05:37.

Now with the weather forecast, here's Cecilia Daly.

:05:38.:05:49.

It is still pretty blowing out there and it will stay quite windy

:05:50.:05:54.

tonight. There will be a lot of cloud around, some patches of rain

:05:55.:05:58.

from time to time. A much milder night than last night. By the end of

:05:59.:06:03.

the night, more persistent rain is likely in the West. That is a

:06:04.:06:07.

weather front which will cause us a few headaches this week. It means a

:06:08.:06:10.

risk of rain on most days, but it will not be raining all the time. To

:06:11.:06:15.

begin with tomorrow, there will be some warm weather around once again,

:06:16.:06:18.

but we will still have those gusty southerly winds in the morning. Most

:06:19.:06:20.

of the rain tomorrow will be in the West. In contrast, there

:06:21.:06:45.

could be sunshine across the East. The weather front is gradually

:06:46.:06:47.

edging eastwards across the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and

:06:48.:06:49.

into the west of Scotland. Ahead of it, some lovely weather, with

:06:50.:06:52.

sunshine in the low or mid-20s. Before the rain arrives in Northern

:06:53.:06:54.

Ireland, temperatures could reach 21 degrees. Still windy initially, but

:06:55.:06:56.

the wind will drop out as the rain arrives. It looks like damp and Bell

:06:57.:06:59.

enter the day. The rain is still there on Tuesday, with little to

:07:00.:07:03.

push it away. It still threatens at times on Thursday, before it finally

:07:04.:07:09.

moves away later in the week. There will be some dry spells and odd bits

:07:10.:07:12.

of brightness and it will be warm at times, with temperatures generally a

:07:13.:07:17.

little above the average. But with prolonged rain, it will feel cooler.

:07:18.:07:20.
