:00:09. > :00:09.Hello. Welcome to BBC Newsline.

:00:10. > :00:12.The DUP leader, Arlene Foster, has strongly criticised

:00:13. > :00:15.the Irish Government over its response to the UK's

:00:16. > :00:20.decision to withdraw from the European Union.

:00:21. > :00:22.Addressing her party's annual conference for the first time

:00:23. > :00:27.as leader, Mrs Foster said Dublin was seeking the views of people

:00:28. > :00:30.here at the same time as attempting to poach potential investors.

:00:31. > :00:37.Here's our political editor Mark Devenport.

:00:38. > :00:43.The right honourable Arlene Foster, MLA! It's her first annual

:00:44. > :00:48.conference since becoming leader and since the Assembly election in which

:00:49. > :00:54.she maintained the DUP's dominance. So, Arlene Foster was always going

:00:55. > :00:58.to be guaranteed a warm welcome. She defended her support for Brexit and

:00:59. > :01:01.her decision to boycott an All-Ireland forum which the Irish

:01:02. > :01:06.Government is convening to discuss its implications. While they seek to

:01:07. > :01:11.take the views of people of Northern Ireland on the issue of Brexit at

:01:12. > :01:16.home, their representatives are sent out around the world to talk down

:01:17. > :01:20.our economy, and to attempt to poach our investors. Now, it's clear,

:01:21. > :01:25.conference, that the one place that a hard border does exist is in the

:01:26. > :01:30.mind of the Irish Government. In the old days DUP conferences used to be

:01:31. > :01:33.notable for tub-thumping rhetoric directed at Irish republicans. In

:01:34. > :01:39.this new era of partnership Government Sinn Fein was mostly

:01:40. > :01:43.notable by its absence. Instead, ash recent Foster's barbs were directed

:01:44. > :01:47.at the leaders of the Ulster Unionists and the SDLP. Colum has

:01:48. > :01:51.grown a beard. LAUGHTER

:01:52. > :01:55.And they've come up with the nickname Marlene for the Deputy

:01:56. > :02:03.First Minister and myself. Now, Marlene is a very popular TV

:02:04. > :02:07.character. But poor old Mike and Colum, well, they're Steptoe and

:02:08. > :02:10.Son. One of three Ulster Unionist defectors signed his membership

:02:11. > :02:13.forms outside. Whether you think politics here is a sitcom or soap

:02:14. > :02:19.opera, the plotline still has some way to run.

:02:20. > :02:22.A former supergrass who infiltrated the IRA for the British security

:02:23. > :02:25.services has been found dead in his home in England.

:02:26. > :02:27.Raymond Gilmour had been living under a false identity

:02:28. > :02:33.He was the only witness in a trial of 35 IRA suspects

:02:34. > :02:40.His body was found at his home in Kent.

:02:41. > :02:44.It's understood his death isn't being treated as suspicious.

:02:45. > :02:48.Three people have been arrested in connection with drugs offences.

:02:49. > :02:51.It comes after a 21-year-old woman from Cookstown died

:02:52. > :03:02.The party was taking place at a flat in the village of Cooke in County

:03:03. > :03:10.Tyrone in the early hours of Friday morning. 21-year-old Amy Reid became

:03:11. > :03:13.unwell and died a short time later. She was from Cookstown and leaves

:03:14. > :03:18.behind a heart-broken family and friends. A young woman, 21 years of

:03:19. > :03:22.age. In the prime of her life, has lost her life. Her family, friends

:03:23. > :03:28.and neighbours are totally devastated. I know that community

:03:29. > :03:31.and that area will rally around the family and do everything they can

:03:32. > :03:37.for them over the next few days. Two men, aged 26 and 39, and a

:03:38. > :03:39.32-year-old woman, were arrested in connection with drugs-related

:03:40. > :03:42.inquiries. They were initially taken to hospital as a precaution, but

:03:43. > :03:48.have since been questioned and released on police bail.

:03:49. > :03:50.The police are investigating the circumstances surrounding

:03:51. > :03:52.the deaths of two men in Newtownabbey yesterday.

:03:53. > :03:57.The pair, aged 24 and 38, are believed to have been brothers.

:03:58. > :04:00.They were found at a house in Hillview Park.

:04:01. > :04:04.The deaths are not being treated as suspicious.

:04:05. > :04:06.Four people escaped uninjured from fires in Craigavon

:04:07. > :04:08.and Ballycastle in the early hours of this morning.

:04:09. > :04:12.Both are being treated as suspected arson attacks.

:04:13. > :04:15.Substantial damage was caused to the front door and hallway of

:04:16. > :04:19.The front door and stairwell at a flat in Broombeg

:04:20. > :04:28.What can we expect for the rest of the weekend?

:04:29. > :04:38.Good evening. It's been a mostly cloudy day today. We did see a few

:04:39. > :04:41.brighter breaks through the afternoon. Into this evening and

:04:42. > :04:45.overnight we see skies clouding over and a little bit of rain moving in

:04:46. > :04:50.from the west. Temperatures tonight down to nine or ten.

:04:51. > :04:54.Remember the clocks do go back by an hour tonight. It should mean an

:04:55. > :04:58.extra hour in bed tomorrow morning. When you do wake up, you are going

:04:59. > :05:00.to find another cloudy day again with showers around, particularly in

:05:01. > :05:05.the west during the morning. Always the best of any brightness to be

:05:06. > :05:10.found a little further east. Eventually drying up just about

:05:11. > :05:13.everywhere. It's an improving picture through Sunday afternoon,

:05:14. > :05:18.temperatures up to 12 or 13. And drying up by the time we get to

:05:19. > :05:23.dusk which will come that hour earlier. You can see exactly what's

:05:24. > :05:26.going on, we have this area of high pressure sitting over the British

:05:27. > :05:29.Isles and that's settling down our weather. It means that we are on the

:05:30. > :05:34.edge of this weather front. It's being held at bay. It means that

:05:35. > :05:39.tomorrow should be a decent day to get out with your camera. Mervyn

:05:40. > :05:43.Robb did just that and took this lovely picture at Hillsborough Lake.

:05:44. > :05:48.You can always send us your pics. As we head into the start of next week

:05:49. > :05:52.we hold on to that cloudy mild theme but always with the rain threatening

:05:53. > :05:55.and on Monday we will eventually see that front start to sink south. It

:05:56. > :06:00.shouldn't spoil the parade. Then we have this area of high pressure

:06:01. > :06:04.which opens the door to a little bit of cooler air, but it means we trail

:06:05. > :06:06.off temperatures for a bit more brightness.

:06:07. > :06:09.BBC Newsline will be back tomorrow at 6.10pm.

:06:10. > :06:12.You can keep up to date with local news on BBC Radio Ulster
