Good evening. for the news where you are.

A mother has released a picture of her son in a coma,

to try to deter him and other youths from using drugs.

hospital after doctors told her bed had to put him into an induced coma

to help save his life. He had a cut and -- on his eye and his face, were

obviously he's collapsed, so diluted to do a scan to make sure everything

was OK. -- so they needed to do. They explained they'd need to put

him into an induced coma, because he wasn't responding. And that's when

you took those photographs. You've got a message for him and other

young people. Please don't. This could end their lives, and nobody

wants that, we don't want to see another child die because of these

drugs. A local community worker told me there's been a big increase in

the number of people misusing prescription drugs. It just seems to

be getting worse, it seems to be an epidemic almost at the moment. Kids

walk the streets like a zombie, and they are playing Russian roulette

with their lives. At the start of this month, police said they were

investigating the sudden deaths of five people in the greater Belfast

area link to the misuse of drugs. One of those who died was a

16-year-old girl. A man's been threatened

and shot at in Dungannon. It happened on the Fairmount Estate

22-20 away to Munster, in a blow to their hopes of making

the end of season play-offs. In a see-saw game in which five

tries were scored, Ulster came away It was the perfect start for Ulster

at Thomond Park. This is pretty impressive from the

men in white... And they've got the early score.

Captain Rory Best with the try, but the early date was short lived as

Angus loid's try was set up for the home side.

As ever in an interprovincial game, no quarter was asked or given. The

sides went in 10-10 in -- at half-time. Earls scored early in the

second half, but three minutes later Luke Marshall burst through to

score. Munster, who were behind four times in the game, then got the

decisive try in the match through David O'Callaghan. With Paddy

Jackson's stoppage time drop goal attempt going wide, Ulster had to be

content with a losing bonus point, and their chance of remaining in the

tournament remain uncertain. In local football, Crusaders

came from behind to beat their North Belfast rivals

Cliftonville at Solitude. Two headed goals by striker

Jordan Owens secured a thrilling 3-2 victory -

and it's a win which keeps Crusaders one point clear at the top

of the Danske Bank Irish Premiership ahead of Linfield, who won 2-0 away

to Ballymena United. And in hockey, Lisnagarvey have been

to become the first Irish club to reach the last eight

with the weather for the rest It has been an improving picture as

we've made our way through today, and apart from the odd isolated

shower out there, many of us are ending the day on a drying out. But

it will turn chilly for a while before we see cloud heading in

overnight, bringing with it some rain. For Easter Sunday we get off

to a grey and wet start. It will stay rather cloudy with the odd

shower. To begin with the rain will be out there, eventually it is East

of the Irish Sea but behind it that will be a few showers. But the cloud

eventually breaks. If you are travelling across the island

tomorrow, first thing they will be the risk of the odd shower, but by

the middle of the afternoon most of us will have a dry afternoon with

temperatures of 13, maybe 40 degrees inland, but towards the north coast

it will feel cold at just seven or 8 degrees. -- maybe 14. There will be

the risk of the odd scattered shower before the end of the day. As we

make our way into Easter Monday it would be largely dry, there will be

a good bit of cloud but we are expecting it to break time to let

the sunshine through, especially for coastal areas with those northerly

winds. But they will make it feel quite cold especially towards north

coast. We are expecting a slight frost overnight into Tuesday,

offered Tuesday itself not a bad picture. We are expecting plenty of

dry weather for that. BBC Newsline will be back

tomorrow at ten to seven. Every year, amateur riders of

all ages race on our country roads. When I'm out on the bike, nothing's

in my head - only that road. But crossing the finish line

requires a family effort.
