:00:46. > :00:51.to help save his life. He had a cut and -- on his eye and his face, were

:00:52. > :00:58.obviously he's collapsed, so diluted to do a scan to make sure everything

:00:59. > :01:06.was OK. -- so they needed to do. They explained they'd need to put

:01:07. > :01:10.him into an induced coma, because he wasn't responding. And that's when

:01:11. > :01:16.you took those photographs. You've got a message for him and other

:01:17. > :01:20.young people. Please don't. This could end their lives, and nobody

:01:21. > :01:25.wants that, we don't want to see another child die because of these

:01:26. > :01:29.drugs. A local community worker told me there's been a big increase in

:01:30. > :01:33.the number of people misusing prescription drugs. It just seems to

:01:34. > :01:39.be getting worse, it seems to be an epidemic almost at the moment. Kids

:01:40. > :01:43.walk the streets like a zombie, and they are playing Russian roulette

:01:44. > :01:47.with their lives. At the start of this month, police said they were

:01:48. > :01:52.investigating the sudden deaths of five people in the greater Belfast

:01:53. > :01:54.area link to the misuse of drugs. One of those who died was a

:01:55. > :01:56.16-year-old girl. A man's been threatened

:01:57. > :01:59.and shot at in Dungannon. It happened on the Fairmount Estate

:02:00. > :02:01.in the early hours A woman's been threatened

:02:02. > :02:10.with a knife, during a robbery It happened on the Upper

:02:11. > :02:16.Newtownards Road this morning. A service of remembrance has

:02:17. > :02:19.been held in the grounds of Belfast City Hall,

:02:20. > :02:21.marking 105 years since Among those in attendance

:02:22. > :02:28.were descendants of some A wreath was laid by the Lord Mayor

:02:29. > :02:36.and organisers of the event, before In Pro12 rugby, Ulster have lost

:02:37. > :02:42.22-20 away to Munster, in a blow to their hopes of making

:02:43. > :02:47.the end of season play-offs. In a see-saw game in which five

:02:48. > :03:03.tries were scored, Ulster came away It was the perfect start for Ulster

:03:04. > :03:06.at Thomond Park. This is pretty impressive from the

:03:07. > :03:12.men in white... And they've got the early score.

:03:13. > :03:20.Captain Rory Best with the try, but the early date was short lived as

:03:21. > :03:29.Angus loid's try was set up for the home side.

:03:30. > :03:36.As ever in an interprovincial game, no quarter was asked or given. The

:03:37. > :03:40.sides went in 10-10 in -- at half-time. Earls scored early in the

:03:41. > :03:46.second half, but three minutes later Luke Marshall burst through to

:03:47. > :03:52.score. Munster, who were behind four times in the game, then got the

:03:53. > :03:56.decisive try in the match through David O'Callaghan. With Paddy

:03:57. > :03:59.Jackson's stoppage time drop goal attempt going wide, Ulster had to be

:04:00. > :04:05.content with a losing bonus point, and their chance of remaining in the

:04:06. > :04:07.tournament remain uncertain. In local football, Crusaders

:04:08. > :04:09.came from behind to beat their North Belfast rivals

:04:10. > :04:11.Cliftonville at Solitude. Two headed goals by striker

:04:12. > :04:13.Jordan Owens secured a thrilling 3-2 victory -

:04:14. > :04:16.and it's a win which keeps Crusaders one point clear at the top

:04:17. > :04:19.of the Danske Bank Irish Premiership ahead of Linfield, who won 2-0 away

:04:20. > :04:25.to Ballymena United. And in hockey, Lisnagarvey have been

:04:26. > :04:28.beaten 4-1 by Spanish giants Atletic Terrasa

:04:29. > :04:30.in their European Hockey League Sean Murray equalised

:04:31. > :04:36.soon after Atletic had But the Spanish team broke

:04:37. > :04:40.away to seal their place Lisnagarvey had been hoping

:04:41. > :04:46.to become the first Irish club to reach the last eight

:04:47. > :04:50.of the tournament. And now finally here's Barra,

:04:51. > :05:04.with the weather for the rest It has been an improving picture as

:05:05. > :05:08.we've made our way through today, and apart from the odd isolated

:05:09. > :05:12.shower out there, many of us are ending the day on a drying out. But

:05:13. > :05:18.it will turn chilly for a while before we see cloud heading in

:05:19. > :05:22.overnight, bringing with it some rain. For Easter Sunday we get off

:05:23. > :05:27.to a grey and wet start. It will stay rather cloudy with the odd

:05:28. > :05:32.shower. To begin with the rain will be out there, eventually it is East

:05:33. > :05:36.of the Irish Sea but behind it that will be a few showers. But the cloud

:05:37. > :05:39.eventually breaks. If you are travelling across the island

:05:40. > :05:43.tomorrow, first thing they will be the risk of the odd shower, but by

:05:44. > :05:49.the middle of the afternoon most of us will have a dry afternoon with

:05:50. > :05:53.temperatures of 13, maybe 40 degrees inland, but towards the north coast

:05:54. > :06:00.it will feel cold at just seven or 8 degrees. -- maybe 14. There will be

:06:01. > :06:04.the risk of the odd scattered shower before the end of the day. As we

:06:05. > :06:09.make our way into Easter Monday it would be largely dry, there will be

:06:10. > :06:12.a good bit of cloud but we are expecting it to break time to let

:06:13. > :06:17.the sunshine through, especially for coastal areas with those northerly

:06:18. > :06:23.winds. But they will make it feel quite cold especially towards north

:06:24. > :06:27.coast. We are expecting a slight frost overnight into Tuesday,

:06:28. > :06:28.offered Tuesday itself not a bad picture. We are expecting plenty of

:06:29. > :06:29.dry weather for that. BBC Newsline will be back

:06:30. > :06:40.tomorrow at ten to seven. Every year, amateur riders of

:06:41. > :06:44.all ages race on our country roads. When I'm out on the bike, nothing's

:06:45. > :06:47.in my head - only that road. But crossing the finish line

:06:48. > :06:51.requires a family effort.
