A murder investigation is underway after a man in his 20s

Two men, both aged 19, have been arrested on suspicion of murder.

The incident happened in the early hours of this morning,

as Kevin Sharkey reports from the scene.

Tributes from parents close to where their son died. The victim, also

remembered as a brother. Police spend the day carrying out

examinations and enquiries at the scene and nearby. Detectives want to

hear from anyone in the humanities who saw or heard an altercation this

morning. The police were called to the scene at around 5:30 this

morning. The victim had been assaulted outside a house and his

body was lying on the road. An ambulance crew try to help him, but

he died here a short time later. The scale of the murder investigation,

evident at a number of locations. A nearby farmyard, not far from the

main focus of the police and forensic examination. A young man in

his 20s has lost his life. The first thing we want to say is that at this

moment in time our thoughts and our prayers are with the family. As the

investigation continued, the victim's family and friends arrived

at the scene. A brief visit of respect and remembrance will.

Up to 30 fire fighters are tackling a blaze

at a textile processing plant in Upperlands, near Maghera.

The fire at William Clark Sons, said to be one of Ireland's oldest

buildings, was spotted just after lunchtime.

Up to six appliances are at the scene.

Firefighters pumped water from the linen processor's

While a 150-year-old building in the complex was destroyed,

management says the business is still intact.

Jewish graves in Belfast City Cemetery have been reconsecrated,

13 of the graves were smashed last August.

Some of the damaged graves dated back to the 1870s

and were in a walled off section of the cemetery.

It brings to memory those who used to live here. And those who are here

now, to be able to come and, as it were, celebrate two things. The

first thing is that we celebrate the rededication. The second thing is we

celebrate the friendliness and efforts by Belfast City Council the

government to help us get to this particular stage after the

vandalism. Ireland kept their hopes of a third

Six Nations title in four years alive by recovering from an early

deficit to beat France in a bruising Nial Foster was there

for BBC Newsline. Historically, Francois and

unpredictable entity. But after a frantic start in Dublin, the victors

delete macro visitors controlled, punishing island with two Comey

locos -- can only post kicks. -- two Lopez kicks. Conor Murray squeezed

over the whitewash to score his tenth Irish drive. He tipped the

pendulum in nylon's favour. In the second half, the boot of Sexton was

sweet as a knot as he increased island's lead to ten points. A

long-range drop ball epitomised his influence on the game that was

simply pulsate in to watch a time. That effort and drive led to an

inevitable tiring of both sides. Meaning penalties were going to be

the decisive factor. So Island record their second victor in this

year's championship and gain valuable momentum going into the

next fixture away to Wales in just under two weeks' time.

Ireland's women's team had a thrilling 13-10 win over France

The decisive score came early in the second half when Leah Lyons

scored this go-ahead try to set them on their way to victory.

Ulster have won 40-17 in Italy against Zebre this afternoon,

running in six tries in a bonus point victory.

They remain fifth in the Pro12 table, but still in the hunt

Ulster were determined to return with V5 point we need to keep in

touch with the four sides ahead of them in the table. And they started

purposefully enough, driving nobody Italian's line for an early score

courtesy of Chris Henry. The second try was made by the incisive pace of

Charles Pienaar. He set up the simplest of scores for Ruan Pienaar.

-- Charles Piutau. Two more tries early in the second half kept the

Italians at arms length. Stuart Olding going over. Before full-back

Jacob Stockdale breached the Zebre defence once more to secure that

valuable bonus point for Ulster. And there was time for some icing on the

cake as Robbie Diack crashed over in the corner. Before David Busby, and

his senior debut, got in on the action as well. A final score of

40-17 in the first of three Italian jobs for Ulster. Treviso next at

Kingspan on Friday. Jonathan Rea has opened the defence

of his World Superbikes title with a double victory

in the opening round at The Ballyclare rider,

who is aiming for an historic third title in a row this season,

followed up yesterday's win with another first

place in Race Two today. Taking the lead in the last lap,

he just held off rival Chaz Davies to take the chequered flag

in a thrilling tussle. In Gaelic football, Tyrone's game

at home to Cavan in Division One of the NFL was postponed due

to a waterlogged pitch. There were wins for

Monaghan who beat Kerry. Now with weather forecast

here's Cecilia Daly. Hello, good evening. A cold night

coming up. Also drier. Windy in places and there will be a risk of

ice on untreated roads and pavements tonight and tomorrow morning. Slow

in places, too. Mostly over the hills. There could be a couple of

centimetres of lying snow by the end of the night with temperatures close

to freezing. Expect ice on the windscreens tomorrow morning. A

wintry start to the new week. Also some sunshine and dry weather, but

there will be nasty showers around which could fall as a mix of rain,

hail, sleet and snow across many parts of northern Britain, as well

as the Republic of Ireland. London and eastern counties of England will

expect rain and strong winds. Temperatures in many places in

single figures. In Northern Ireland, high is not that much higher than

five or 6 degrees. It will be as windy today tomorrow, but there will

be some nasty showers arriving. The winds will pick up again on Tuesday

as the remnants of storm Ewan take a second swipe at us. It moves away

and then an area of pressure follows in. It will be just -- it would be

just as cold -- it will not be just as cold towards the end of the week,

but still unsettled. Strong winds on Tuesday.
