Good evening. A man from Scotland has been in

court charged in connection with trouble at a parade in Belfast on

Saturday. The disturbances happened as loyalist bands passed a Catholic

church on Donegall Street. The disorder broke out at the last few

bands taking part in the parade passed by this church on Donegall

Street. Most, if not all of the bands, defied the Parade

Commission's ruling that they could not play music here. One band were

forbidden from passing the church after this footage was taken on

12th July showing them a plane at contentious song outside it. On

Saturday, be disobeyed the Parades Commission and did walk past the

church. It is believed in nationalist and loyalist were

involved and the trouble. Seven police officers were injured and

three people were arrested and this morning one of them appeared before

Belfast magistrates court. James Boyce who is 38 and from Glasgow

faces two charges. He is accused of disorderly behaviour and of running

through the middle of the protest with intent to cause a breach of

the peace. Belfast magistrates court heard that the accused it

travels to Northern Ireland three or four times the year. He attempts

and take part in parades. A detective Constable said that James

boys committed the alleged offences around 12:00pm on Saturday and that

the evidence was captured on CCTV. The accused initially claimed to

police that he just happened to come behind the nationalist

residents' protest. The detective opposed bail on the grounds that

she believed there was a risk that that he would not turn up for

future court appearances. She also claimed that there was a chance he

could get involved in more trouble and that police were concerned

about other contentious parades coming up in September. A defence

lawyer said that the accused's time in custody had been traumatic for

him and his family. He also claimed that he would lose his job if he

was not granted bail. The district judge remanded him in custody and

he will appear in court again in four weeks time.

international Stephen Ferris who lives in the area has appealed for

help in catching the culprits. know the dog and the owner.

Everybody in Maghaberry is very close. Everyone knows one another.

The dog is as friendly as they come. I think it is an attack on a poor

little dog. It is terrible and hopefully the poor thing it can

pull through. More than 7,000 pupils are waiting

to find out if their GCSE English grade will change. In a letter to

No one has ever been recorded swimming from Scotland to Northern

Ireland until now! Asset African insurance winner Wayne Soutter has

conquered one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world.

This was the moment South Africa Wayne Soutter started his epic

journey across the North Channel. The ICS of the ocean it clear to

see. OK, OK. This was not his first channels went, conquering the

English Channel in 2012. His support team including the

community rescue service which is to benefit from farms are raised by

the incredible swim, tracked his every move, from the Mull of

Kintyre across the Channel towards tour ahead and then along the North

Antrim coast line. At one point, his support crew considered pulling

him out of the water, but he was having none of it. On the last 100m,

it was agonising. He was completely exhausted. He had two support

swimmers with them throughout the last two or three miles. This win

was about 20 kilometres straight across, but because of the tide, it

ended up been around 45 kilometres and taking four hours longer than

expected. After a gruelling 12 our swim, he touched the rocks here

just after 11 o'clock last night. He had to battle his way through

vicious currents and the extreme cold of the sea. At one stage he

had to fight his way through a solid mass of jelly fish. His main

concern came towards the end when winds picked up, creating waves as

high as six feet. A I found myself in the middle of a field of jelly

fish. Hundreds of them, everywhere I looked. Eventually, I had to make

a decision, if I wanted to carry on, I had to swim through them. I swam

through them and be stung like crazy, my arms, my chest, my mouth

as well. And there was not enough to stop me. Because it is sheer

determination to succeed, I think of the jacket says it all.

Superman. Sport and the Antrim Gaelic

The Bank Holiday Monday came in on rather a disappointing note, but at

least it is going out on a more promising note. We have spells of

sunshine, but we also have a few showers, some of which could be

heavy, we still have a rain fall warning in place. The showers will

not affect everyone, they will die away to lead a dry night. Some

clear skies around in the countryside, to dip into single

figures, but for the towns and cities, it will stay around 12 or

13 degrees. That brings us to tomorrow which will be a much

better day, it will be breezy but there will be more sunny spells and

also a few showers. The showers tomorrow, they will be fairly hit

and miss, fairly well scattered and if you get one, it should pass very

quickly and it will be light. Temperatures around 19 or 20

degrees and a south-westerly breeze, not feeling too bad at their in the

sunshine. Cloud are bubbling up from time to time, but many of us

will end the day tomorrow on a pretty decent note with some spells

of sunshine. An isolated shower around in some places. Into the

night, another whether funds from the West, we can expect to see some

heavy downpours during the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Temperatures falling to around 12 or 13 degrees for many of us,

another mild night to come. Following that rained Marmite, we

will see somewhere showers on Wednesday and though showers could

be heavy, we may even get the odd rumble of thunder. In between them,

there will be spells of sunshine with temperatures up to 20 degrees.
