I want to be able to walk with Matt Wrack knowing the next generation of

Paralympians will be there. ?300,000 will go towards

new specialist equipment at 11 sports hubs in each

of Northern Ireland's council areas. Good news for those

who enjoy getting active. At the start, Charlie Hayter and

football. He could not help, hit confidence has grown and he loves

it. Just brilliant. What do you think? I think it is fun! The Sports

Minister says everyone should have the opportunity to make their -- the

most of their talents. Everybody who was engaging shoe -- should be in no

way disadvantaged, they should have aspirations to be active in sport

and it is vital we mainstream that within the sporting structures.

Those behind this plan hope it encourages the next generation of

champions. Jonathan Rea meals on course to wind

the super bike championship after the latest race in Spain. Stephen

Watson reports. With his ice fixed on the biggest prize in his sport,

Jonathan Rea did not want any hedges today. As he went head-to-head with

his nearest rival for the world crown. His team-mate, John Sykes. He

eventually settled for third place, and at others appointed on the day

but the championship is now his to lose. I have to take some positives

because this is the first time I have reached the podium in Jerez,

this is that a circuit that I enjoyed but I have never been fast

here, fast but not super-fast, and I am excited because the guys with

that gap, only three more races left for the others to have their

opportunity. It is now possible for Jonathan Rea to wind his second

successive world title tomorrow. At the same venue where he road to

success last year. Well, it's been a wet day -

let's hope tomorrow will be drier. Here's Cecilia with the weather

forecast. If you're heading out this

evening it should be dry for a while but expect some

showers later on. They will get heavier and more

widespread as the night goes on. Some hail, thunder and

lightning is possible. And there could be quite a lot

of water building up on the roads. So the Met Office has issued

a warning for heavy rain It means there could be some

unpleasant driving conditions, particularly tomorrow morning,

with some sudden downpours So, some heavy showers around

and the risk of thunder There will be a few gaps

but there will be more in the way of dry weather

during Sunday afternoon. Heavy showers for a while across

the Republic of Ireland as well as through northern England

and parts of Wales but they are The north of Scotland should

have a much drier day And behind these heavy showers

there will be some Temperatures in the mid

or high teens. And we should see some gaps

between the showers tomorrow afternoon across Northern Ireland

with a bit of sunshine Not a complete wash-out

for the whole day and temperatures, where we get some sunshine,

should creep up to around 14 Next week starts with low pressure

so unsettled and some rain for a time but this area of high

pressure builds in from the Atlantic so we're expecting things

to settle down again. So although it will start wet

on Monday with some showers for a while and heavy rain,

more settled conditions from Tuesday onwards but with the risk of some

frost and fog at night-time but also some sunshine

during the day. BBC Newsline will be back
