and the Republic would be a step backwards in the peace process.

:00:18.:00:21.

George Mitchell told the BBC that the ability to cross the border

:00:22.:00:24.

freely was important and had helped create stability.

:00:25.:00:30.

I believe that the restoration of a militarised border with strict

:00:31.:00:41.

controls limiting traffic back and forth would have an adverse effect

:00:42.:00:48.

on relations within the island of Ireland, the ability to move back

:00:49.:00:53.

and forth across the board that has existed for the past several years

:00:54.:00:57.

has been very helpful in increasing and also in reducing stereotypes on

:00:58.:00:59.

both sides. The US Secretary of State John Kerry

at yesterday's DUP conference. I was very surprised at these

remarks. Very concerned at these remarks. And very concerned that it

claimed that representatives of the Irish government where allegedly

:01:52.:01:56.

The five day celebration is mostly associated with Hinduism

:01:57.:01:59.

and is known as the Festival of Lights as it marks the new moon

:02:00.:02:02.

and the victory of light over darkness.

:02:03.:02:04.

Our reporter Rick Faragher has been to one of the main

:02:05.:02:07.

Northern Ireland? First of all, wishing everyone a happy Diwali. We

:02:34.:02:41.

are around 9000-10,000 Indians living in Northern Ireland, and

:02:42.:02:43.

every house will be celebrating Diwali today. It is the Festival of

:02:44.:02:49.

lights. Although it is a Hindu festival, it is celebrated all

:02:50.:02:57.

across India regardless of faith. It's got all these fireworks and

:02:58.:03:00.

celebration, dances and food and all. You meet your friends and have

:03:01.:03:07.

a good time. There's many different dresses that men wear, but kids

normally wear this. Do you reckon you're the best rest here today?

:03:12.:03:16.

Probably. I'm wearing a new design. You have a longer piece of here. It

:03:17.:03:22.

is all very big and colourful, and I'm not wearing any jewellery, but

:03:23.:03:29.

jewellery is a big part as well. Has another year passes, Diwali in

:03:30.:03:31.

Northern Ireland has never been weaker or brighter.

:03:32.:03:36.

Hundreds of cyclists have taken part in the annual Ciclovia event

Jonathan Rea clinched the World Superbike series

Celebrations at the end of the race to complete another unforgettable

:04:00.:04:19.

year. Jonathan Rea's family and friends wearing the Middle East to

:04:20.:04:22.

see him put his name into the motor cycling record books as the first

:04:23.:04:27.

back-to-back world champion since 1999. This championship is 36 races,

:04:28.:04:37.

and so easy to get lost right now. But we have done an incredible job

:04:38.:04:41.

all season. We started the season so strong, and the last races we

:04:42.:04:44.

managed to gap which was comfortable. Consistency has been

:04:45.:04:52.

the key to Jonathan Rea's success. He was on the podium and amazing 22

:04:53.:04:58.

times this season. I want to thank my team, my wife, my family,

:04:59.:05:01.

everyone that supports me at home. And the biggest thanks to Kawasaki.

:05:02.:05:07.

I am so happy. And thanks to all the fans out there that happen sending

me messages. It really means a lot. Thank you. So Jonathan Rea follows

top temperature of 10-11. Things become more unsettled towards the
