Good evening and welcome to the programme.

:00:00.:00:00.

Protests against Brexit have been taking place along the border.

:00:00.:00:11.

Demonstrators say that Northern Ireland's referendum result

:00:12.:00:13.

- when a majority voted to remain in the EU -

:00:14.:00:15.

They are also opposed to any strengthening of border controls.

:00:16.:00:22.

Our South-West reporter Julian Fowler was at one

:00:23.:00:24.

of the protests on the road between Fermanagh and Cavan.

:00:25.:00:28.

This is the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

:00:29.:00:33.

But, after Brexit, this will be part of a 300-mile long land border

:00:34.:00:37.

Since the referendum result - when a 56% majority

:00:38.:00:43.

in Northern Ireland voted to remain in the EU - the question

:00:44.:00:47.

of what will happen to the border has been the subject of much debate.

:00:48.:00:51.

Thousands of people travel unhindered from one side

:00:52.:00:54.

to the other each day, and goods flow freely

:00:55.:00:56.

The group border communities against Richard -- Brexit, which organised

:00:57.:01:11.

the protest, say their voices must be heard when decisions are taken.

:01:12.:01:16.

Theresa May said this weekend that she wants a hard Brexit. That is not

:01:17.:01:21.

very reassuring. Dublin does not have a greater say in the matter.

:01:22.:01:26.

Brussels will determine what kind of border we have. I have friends,

:01:27.:01:31.

relations in a three-mile radius either side of the border, most of

:01:32.:01:35.

my livelihood, my husband's babyhood, in relation to how it will

:01:36.:01:39.

pan out. The only thing I know is we had to stand our ground here. We had

:01:40.:01:44.

30 years of the troubles macro here, we put up with an awful lot. We want

:01:45.:01:47.

to keep the peace in our area. The Prime Minister Theresa May has

:01:48.:01:51.

said nobody wants to return to the borders of the past,

:01:52.:01:53.

but she insisted that no UK region Politicians in London,

:01:54.:01:56.

Belfast and Dublin have all expressed their desire

:01:57.:01:59.

to maintain an open border. How that works in practice will form

:02:00.:02:01.

a key part of the Brexit negotiations on the

:02:02.:02:08.

freedom of movement. Two men are in a stable

:02:09.:02:12.

condition in hospital after an assault involving a number

:02:13.:02:14.

of men in Lisnaskea. It happened in the earlier hours

:02:15.:02:16.

of this morning in Trasna Way. One other man was discharged

:02:17.:02:19.

from hospital after Football, and Northern Ireland face

:02:20.:02:22.

San Marino in their second World Cup The game is the team's first

:02:23.:02:30.

at the newly completed Northern Ireland have one point so

:02:31.:02:44.

far in the group after the third draw with the Czech Republic.

:02:45.:02:45.

This will be Northern Ireland's first competitive home fixture for

:02:46.:02:55.

exactly one year. San Marino may be the minnows of Group C, but patients

:02:56.:02:59.

could well be the keeper Michael O'Neill's side. It is key, but I

:03:00.:03:05.

want the team to play with high energy and a high tempo and the

:03:06.:03:08.

crowd to really be behind the team. To do that you have to obviously get

:03:09.:03:12.

the crowd on the edge of their seat. We have to play similar to how we

:03:13.:03:16.

played a couple of years ago against the Aero Islands where we had loads

:03:17.:03:22.

of goal-scoring opportunities. We won the Game 2- milk and that is

:03:23.:03:27.

what we will aim to do here. We want to play on the front foot and make

:03:28.:03:32.

life as difficult as possible for San Marino and they will have the

:03:33.:03:36.

same intention. The last time the teams met in Belfast eight years

:03:37.:03:41.

ago, Northern Ireland were 4-0 winners. I think these games are

:03:42.:03:49.

never easy. They will be difficult to break down. We would love to get

:03:50.:03:53.

an early goal but it doesn't always happen like that. We will have to

:03:54.:03:57.

play with good intensity of the ball quickly to ensure quality. The match

:03:58.:04:04.

will be the first played in the newly completed National Stadium at

:04:05.:04:08.

Windsor Park. A sell-out crowd should guarantee a good atmosphere

:04:09.:04:10.

for the inaugural home game of the World Cup campaign.

:04:11.:04:12.

And you can listen to the game on BBC Radio Ulster

:04:13.:04:14.

BBC Radio Ulster won gold in the Station Of The Year category

:04:15.:04:21.

at the PPI Radio Awards in Kilkenny last night.

:04:22.:04:23.

Evening Extra's Seamus McKee was also awarded gold in the News

:04:24.:04:26.

In total BBC Radio Ulster and BBC radio Foyle received 12 awards.

:04:27.:04:41.

Now with the weather forecast for the rest of the weekend,

:04:42.:04:44.

18 Celsius in this sunshine in County Tyrone. 11 sorted and cloud

:04:45.:04:57.

in the Antrim glands. It will stay cloudy in Belfast tonight but it

:04:58.:05:00.

should stay dry pudding Northern Ireland match. Any showers few and

:05:01.:05:04.

far between. Most places will have a dry night. It could get quite chilly

:05:05.:05:10.

and misty. A dry start virtually everywhere on Sunday and largely dry

:05:11.:05:14.

day. In most places a brighter day to come sunshine developing as the

:05:15.:05:20.

morning goes on. Once again very little wind around, so excellent

:05:21.:05:22.

running conditions but those who are taking part in the Gaeltacht Quarter

:05:23.:05:30.

10k tomorrow. Across the UK and Ireland, not too many showers

:05:31.:05:33.

around. Just a handful across eastern counties of England. One or

:05:34.:05:37.

two could be quite sharp come the afternoon. Maybe the odd shower in

:05:38.:05:41.

the Republic of Ireland but a lot less is dry. The best of the

:05:42.:05:45.

sunshine tends to be farther west. That is where the highest

:05:46.:05:49.

temperatures will be tomorrow. 15, 16 or 17 Celsius in parts of Tyrone.

:05:50.:05:53.

The odd shower possible especially over County Down. The area of high

:05:54.:05:58.

pressure that extends from Scandinavia will continue to

:05:59.:06:00.

influence our weather next week or at least from most of the working

:06:01.:06:04.

week keeping the areas of low pressure away from us. The you will

:06:05.:06:08.

notice the lines develop across us meaning the wind will pick up

:06:09.:06:11.

through the week. Some sunshine at times which will make all the

:06:12.:06:15.

difference. Temperatures generally around the average, but in the

:06:16.:06:18.

breeze it will start to feel good. That is all the news and weather. We

:06:19.:06:26.

are back with you tomorrow at 6:05pm. You can keep up to date on

:06:27.:06:33.
