Newsline... Two teenagers are stabbed and eight

:00:20.:00:24.

police officers injured at internment night bonfires.

:00:24.:00:27.

Tomorrow's protest at an Apprentice Boys parade is cancelled but

:00:27.:00:33.

tensions remain high in Castlederg ahead of a republican parade.

:00:33.:00:36.

The IRA admits killing Brian Stack, the only prison officer murdered in

:00:36.:00:42.

the Republic during the Troubles. Also on the programme...

:00:42.:00:51.

The Belfast pilot who'll be flying THIS over Newcastle tomorrow.

:00:51.:01:01.
:01:01.:01:03.

a real Thunderbirds sort of thing. If you give a child a crayon to draw

:01:03.:01:06.

an aeroplane he will come up with something like a Vulcan.

:01:06.:01:10.

On day two of Golf's final major of the year, Rory McIlroy is struggling

:01:10.:01:14.

to defend his US PGA title. It'll be a dry bright end to the

:01:14.:01:17.

week and a pretty good day for Saturday. But we could have hail and

:01:17.:01:26.

thunder on Sunday! There is a heavy police presence in

:01:26.:01:30.

Belfast city said this evening ahead of an ante in tournament march by

:01:30.:01:34.

Republicans. Loyalist protests have been planned. Mark since and is in

:01:34.:01:39.

the city centre for us. What is happening there at the moment?

:01:39.:01:43.

The police have had to call for reinforcements down here to the city

:01:43.:01:46.

centre after a brief outbreak of trouble involving loyalist

:01:46.:01:56.

protesters. I am at the bottom of Royal Avenue outside Debenhams. The

:01:56.:02:00.

shopping centre closed earlier this evening because of fears of what

:02:00.:02:05.

could happen with this protest and the anti-internment republican

:02:05.:02:11.

parade. The trouble has been pretty minor so far, but there is a very

:02:11.:02:15.

heavy police presence. There was a smoke bomb thrown by loyalist

:02:15.:02:20.

protest is about 15 minutes ago and a couple of missiles. Then, some

:02:20.:02:25.

protesters tried to turn over a police Land Rover. The police

:02:25.:02:29.

arrived and the reinforcements arrived. I have seen the police

:02:29.:02:33.

water cannon arrive as well. Everywhere you look in the city

:02:33.:02:38.

centre this evening, you can see the police, dozens of vehicles, hundreds

:02:38.:02:42.

of officers. It seems relatively calm at the moment, it is one of

:02:42.:02:47.

those nights when the police will be very glad when it is over.

:02:47.:02:50.

Eight police officers were injured and two teenagers were stabbed

:02:50.:02:52.

during last night's violence at several bonfires marking the

:02:52.:02:57.

anniversary of internment. The stabbings were in a nationalist area

:02:57.:03:01.

of north Belfast. In another incident, a man attacked the police

:03:01.:03:04.

with a sword. Sinn Fein have criticised the bonfire organisers,

:03:04.:03:09.

saying the fires attract people who want to cause trouble. Chris Page's

:03:09.:03:14.

report begins in the Lower Falls area of west Belfast.

:03:14.:03:17.

As the flames were dying down this morning, the police investigation

:03:17.:03:22.

was beginning. So was the clear-up. Council staff were getting rid of

:03:22.:03:26.

the rubbish from the site where the police came under attack last night.

:03:26.:03:31.

A crowd threw paint bombs, bottles and bricks at PSNI officers. Eight

:03:31.:03:35.

police were hurt. Two were treated in hospital for head injuries. The

:03:35.:03:39.

PSNI arrested eight people. While the bonfire burned, the Fire and

:03:39.:03:42.

Rescue Service had to come out and watch these houses, in case they

:03:42.:03:46.

caught fire. Although the bonfires are to mark the anniversary of

:03:46.:03:54.

internment, Sinn Fein are opposed to them. People from this community are

:03:54.:04:00.

asking that this is the last one fire that we see, because it is

:04:00.:04:04.

unacceptable, it attracts anti-social elements, and it is

:04:04.:04:07.

unacceptable to the majority of people. And the problems began even

:04:07.:04:10.

before the fire was lit. This journalist was attacked, along with

:04:10.:04:15.

a photographer, when they went to the site yesterday. They were fairly

:04:15.:04:19.

drunk, most of them. When we decided to leave because it was getting

:04:19.:04:25.

dangerous, we came under attack with a barrage of glass bottles. When we

:04:25.:04:30.

managed to get out of the way, they continued to throw the bottles at

:04:30.:04:33.

passing cars, almost causing an accident at one stage. There was

:04:33.:04:36.

also trouble at this bonfire at Torrens Crescent, near the Oldpark

:04:36.:04:40.

Road in North Belfast. Two teenagers who were at the site were stabbed

:04:40.:04:48.

nearby. The attack happened here at about half past midnight. A boy and

:04:48.:04:53.

April were taken to hospital the condition of the boy, who is 16, is

:04:53.:04:58.

described as serious but stable. The girl suffered injuries which are not

:04:58.:05:01.

thought to be life-threatening. And here in the New Lodge area, the

:05:01.:05:03.

police fired two plastic bullets during more disturbances. A man

:05:03.:05:06.

armed with a sword attacked officers. After a difficult night,

:05:06.:05:09.

the PSNI say their inquiry will be thorough in trying to identify

:05:09.:05:16.

anyone involved in violence. A nationalist residents' group has

:05:16.:05:19.

called off a protest against an Apprentice Boys parade through

:05:19.:05:25.

Castlederg tomorrow. The move comes as tensions in the town remain high.

:05:25.:05:27.

On Sunday, republicans are planning a commemoration to remember IRA

:05:27.:05:33.

members killed during the Troubles. Sinn Fein say it will be a peaceful

:05:33.:05:35.

act of remembrance, but the Secretary of State Theresa Villiers,

:05:35.:05:39.

Unionist politicians, the SDLP and the Alliance Party say it should be

:05:39.:05:41.

called off. Here's our Political Reporter Stephen Walker.

:05:41.:05:45.

This part of Country Tyrone has focussed political minds all week.

:05:45.:05:48.

Castlederg is due to host an Apprentice Boys parade on Saturday

:05:48.:05:53.

and a republican parade on Sunday. Nationalists and republicans had

:05:53.:05:56.

originally planned to hold a counter demonstration to the Apprentice Boys

:05:56.:06:06.
:06:06.:06:08.

parade, but now that protest has been called off. We have never

:06:08.:06:13.

protest against the Apprentice Boys, but we were protesting against the

:06:13.:06:16.

fact that they have come into the Nationalists end of the town without

:06:16.:06:22.

seeking the consent of the community, which is the first time

:06:22.:06:24.

they have done that in five and half years. Sunday's prarade by

:06:24.:06:27.

republicans commemorates members of the IRA, including two IRA men who

:06:27.:06:32.

died in 1973 when their own bomb exploded prematurely. A number of

:06:32.:06:35.

families whose relatives were killed by the IRA in Castlederg say the

:06:35.:06:41.

parade is insensitive. Jackie Hamilton was in the UDR and was shot

:06:41.:06:50.

by the IRA. His nephew is against Sunday's parade. Why do they have to

:06:50.:06:54.

bring it to the place where they cost so much death and destruction?

:06:54.:07:01.

29 murders, over 50 bombs. I mean, they could have it where the two men

:07:01.:07:11.
:07:11.:07:13.

had died. They have been having it elsewhere for years, why bring it to

:07:13.:07:17.

the scene of such death and devastation? There is much political

:07:17.:07:20.

opposition to Sundays parade. The Secretary of State, the Alliance

:07:20.:07:29.

Party and the SDLP say it should not go ahead. Given that so many people

:07:29.:07:33.

have died in the Castlederg area, there is a lot of pain. These

:07:33.:07:37.

commemorations are fine but I think a lot of people are still suffering

:07:37.:07:40.

and the pain reopens when they hear of such parades as this. The DUP and

:07:40.:07:45.

the UUP are also opposed to Sunday's parade. And even at this late stage,

:07:45.:07:52.

Unionists hope republicans will change their mind. We have reports

:07:52.:07:57.

of the victims having to go to doctors to get medication. They are

:07:57.:08:01.

reliving this day in, day out, and that is totally wrong. It is wrong

:08:01.:08:04.

that they are bringing this back into the forefront of the life of

:08:04.:08:07.

the people of Castlederg. Sinn Fein say Sunday's parade is not a

:08:07.:08:13.

celebration. It has been re-routed away from the town's war memorial.

:08:13.:08:15.

Deputy First Minster Martin McGuinness said it will not glorify

:08:15.:08:19.

or celebrate the IRA's campaign, but will be a peaceful act of

:08:19.:08:29.
:08:29.:08:32.

remembrance. 30 years after the murder, the IRA

:08:33.:08:36.

has admitted shooting the only prison officer in the Republic to be

:08:36.:08:39.

killed during the Troubles. Brian Stack was wounded as he left a

:08:39.:08:42.

boxing match in Dublin and died the following year. Louise Cullen

:08:42.:08:46.

reports Brian Stack was shot in the back of the head as he left a boxing

:08:46.:08:50.

match in Dublin in 1983. The father of three died from his

:08:50.:08:53.

injuries the following year. Two years ago, one of Mr Stack's sons

:08:53.:09:01.

spoke to BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight reporter, Declan Lawn.

:09:01.:09:05.

was paralysed from the neck down. He was very badly brain-damaged. We did

:09:05.:09:08.

try and get on with life but it was very difficult for us. Three months

:09:08.:09:12.

ago, the family met Gerry Adams to ask for help to establish if the IRA

:09:12.:09:22.
:09:22.:09:24.

was involved. Today, Gerry Adams expressed regret for the killing.

:09:24.:09:31.

met with a former IRA leader who had investigated the smarter and for the

:09:31.:09:37.

first time it was made clear to the family that Republicans had been

:09:37.:09:43.

involved in the killing of their father. Gardai say a superintendent

:09:43.:09:47.

has been appointed to liaise with the family and it would be

:09:47.:09:55.

inappropriate to comment further. Still to come...

:09:55.:09:59.

The World Police and Fire Games are coming to an end. People will

:09:59.:10:03.

remember this as a friendly city, a city where people have extended a

:10:03.:10:10.

warm up to all the visitors, and a city we should be proud of. -- a

:10:10.:10:12.

warm welcome. A County Tyrone woman has appeared

:10:12.:10:15.

in court charged with having what the police believe are components to

:10:16.:10:18.

trigger a type of bomb used by dissident republicans. Nuala

:10:18.:10:22.

Gormley, who is 36 and from Morgan Park in Dromore, was arrested after

:10:22.:10:27.

a car was stopped on Tuesday. Gordon Adair was in the court for BBC

:10:27.:10:37.

Newsline. Gore was driving a Nissan which was

:10:37.:10:42.

stopped by the police just outside Cookstown on Tuesday evening. --

:10:42.:10:51.

Nuala Gormley was driving. They find in -- they find an oil drum wrapped

:10:51.:10:54.

in black tape. They find transmitters and receivers and

:10:54.:10:59.

antenna right. They believe this was to be used to detonate a bomb by

:10:59.:11:05.

Ramon control. The accused told officers said she knew nothing about

:11:05.:11:10.

the item. The police also found Wellington boots, some gloves and

:11:10.:11:16.

two coats. A detective said Nuala Gormley had no criminal record, but

:11:16.:11:20.

said this was common practice among dissident groups, to use people with

:11:20.:11:24.

a clean record to transport items because they were less likely to

:11:24.:11:28.

come under scrutiny from the police. Bail was refused and the accused was

:11:28.:11:33.

remanded in custody to appear again next month.

:11:33.:11:36.

In a separate case, a 39-year-old County Armagh man was refused bail

:11:36.:11:41.

on similar charges. Gabriel Martin Mackle, from Glebe Hill Manor in

:11:41.:11:44.

Tandragee, was stopped by the police while he was riding a motorbike in

:11:44.:11:50.

Lurgan on Wednesday. The court was told officers found ammunition and a

:11:50.:11:53.

bottle containing mercury in the rucksack he was wearing and that

:11:53.:11:57.

mercury could be used as part of a trigger for an under-car booby trap

:11:57.:12:07.
:12:07.:12:07.

bomb. Three people have been airlifted to

:12:07.:12:13.

hospital after being rescued from cliffs at Fairhead near Bally half

:12:13.:12:19.

-- Ballycastle. The rescue operation began at around

:12:19.:12:24.

3:30pm today. A large family group or out walking and six members got

:12:24.:12:29.

into some difficulty from exhaustion. The Irish Coast Guard

:12:29.:12:32.

helicopter with coastguard teams from Ballycastle and Coleraine were

:12:32.:12:36.

called to the scene to help. I understand that two members of the

:12:36.:12:41.

group were taken by the RNLI to the lifeboat station. One member of the

:12:41.:12:46.

group, a man who was presenting some hard difficulties, was airlifted to

:12:46.:12:51.

Aldergrove and will be transferred to Antrim area hospital for a

:12:51.:12:55.

checkup. The operation is over and the coastguard teams are pulling

:12:55.:13:05.
:13:05.:13:05.

out. The World Police and Fire Games are

:13:05.:13:10.

all but over by the closing ceremony. 7000 entrants from 64

:13:10.:13:17.

countries attended. From dodge ball to darts, it has been the friendly

:13:17.:13:25.

and sociable games. It's not often you get to see this

:13:25.:13:29.

on home turf... The New Zealand Haka - enough to put the opposition, in

:13:29.:13:33.

this case the French, right off. A song and dance which seems to have

:13:33.:13:41.

pulled in the crowds. We have been overwhelmed by the number of people

:13:41.:13:46.

who have turned up. For the ice hockey we had over 40,000 people.

:13:46.:13:49.

This is a tremendous success for Northern Ireland. From traditional

:13:49.:13:53.

sports to events you wouldn't expect to see, but a real test of strength

:13:53.:13:56.

and endurance regardless. And then there's the out of the blue

:13:56.:14:01.

sports... This could be one of two sports, and

:14:01.:14:07.

it is not darts, it is wrist-wrestling. That is not a

:14:07.:14:14.

sport, but who is arguing? Northern Ireland takes on America.

:14:14.:14:21.

friendliest ever! All very friendly, really. In the Games' 28-year

:14:21.:14:23.

history, Northern Ireland has hosted the friendliest, apparently. But the

:14:23.:14:29.

organisers would say that, wouldn't they? We have only said it once

:14:29.:14:38.

before, to Melbourne in 1995. You have eclipsed the 1995 for the best

:14:38.:14:45.

Games ever. They had the passion. We did not know very much about

:14:45.:14:49.

Belfast. We knew that the games were in good hands and they would never

:14:49.:14:56.

let us down. Good news for business... It has been very

:14:56.:15:01.

successful for the city in general. The food turnover especially has

:15:01.:15:05.

been through the roof, and we have had to stay open later to

:15:05.:15:08.

accommodate the athletes and their families and friends. We have been

:15:08.:15:13.

serving food up to 12 o'clock at night, which has been on of. Fairfax

:15:13.:15:18.

in Britain it will host the next World Police and Fire Games in two

:15:18.:15:27.

years' time. It seems like it will be quite an act to follow!

:15:27.:15:33.

Still to come... Tens of thousands of people descend

:15:33.:15:36.

on the north-west for the biggest event of the City of Culture

:15:36.:15:44.

calendar, the Fleadh. Next to an iconic plane - a VIP in

:15:44.:15:47.

the skies that, weather permitting, will be at the Newcastle Festival of

:15:47.:15:57.
:15:57.:15:58.

Flight tomorrow. It's the world's last flying Vulcan bomber. Its

:15:58.:16:02.

future is still in doubt. The distinctive delta wing aircraft will

:16:03.:16:05.

land at Belfast International Airport and will be open to the

:16:06.:16:09.

public on Sunday. BBC Newsline's Mervyn Jess has been to its base in

:16:09.:16:18.

Doncaster to meet a pilot from Belfast. 5... 4-mac... 3... To...

:16:18.:16:26.

1... Thunderbirds are go! It's as much an icon of the '60s as

:16:26.:16:29.

Thunderbirds, and like the TV series this aircraft stirred the

:16:29.:16:34.

imaginations of children and adults. Now for the first time in nearly 30

:16:34.:16:36.

years, the Vulcan bomber is returning to Northern Ireland to

:16:36.:16:41.

take part in this weekend's Festival of Flight in Newcastle. And at the

:16:41.:16:44.

controls, flying it home so to speak, will be north Belfast pilot

:16:44.:16:54.
:16:54.:16:56.

Bill Perrins. When I was a schoolboy I used to like cycling a lot. I saw

:16:56.:17:01.

films of the Vulcan landing, using a great parachute to slow the plane. I

:17:01.:17:07.

went to the top of the Antrim Road one day with some of my friends. One

:17:07.:17:14.

of the guys have a parachute with a of about six feet. I thought I would

:17:14.:17:21.

emulate a Vulcan. I tied it to the back of my seat. As I was quizzing

:17:21.:17:26.

down the road and deployed the parachute, the bike stopped and I

:17:26.:17:34.

kept going over the handlebars. An aeroplane inspired me to do silly

:17:34.:17:42.

things on my bicycle! The delta wing is the aircraft's unique feature.

:17:42.:17:46.

There is nothing like this in the air today. The Vulcan's last time an

:17:46.:17:50.

action was during the Falklands War in 1982, when the aircraft flew

:17:50.:17:53.

thousands of miles to bomb Port Stanley airport. This weekend, it's

:17:53.:17:59.

on a much friendlier mission to Northern Ireland. We heard a strong

:17:59.:18:02.

rumour that the aircraft may never fly after the end of this year. It

:18:02.:18:08.

seems like they have made a way of making a fly until at least 2015.

:18:08.:18:12.

The story behind my enforcement is I was the last controller to speak to

:18:12.:18:17.

it when it last displayed at the 25th anniversary of the airport. I

:18:18.:18:24.

had to terminate the display to allow others to land behind it.

:18:24.:18:27.

Apart from the Red Arrows, the Vulcan is unlikely to play second

:18:27.:18:34.

fiddle to any of the other display aircraft tomorrow. It is such a

:18:34.:18:39.

bizarre ship, it is a real Thunderbirds sort of shape. If you

:18:39.:18:46.

give a kid a crayon to draw on aeroplane, it will come out with

:18:46.:18:49.

something like a Vulcan. This aircraft will fly until 2015. After

:18:49.:18:52.

that, its future depends on charity funding, Lottery grants and aero

:18:52.:19:02.

engineering skills. Even a Vulcan has a drip tray!

:19:02.:19:05.

The biggest festival of Irish culture will be the biggest event in

:19:05.:19:08.

the City of Culture year in Londonderry and it starts this

:19:08.:19:11.

Sunday. Up to 300,000 visitors are expected to take part and enjoy

:19:11.:19:14.

Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann with a week of street music sessions,

:19:14.:19:21.

concerts and drama. Our North-west reporter Keiron Tourish checks out

:19:21.:19:31.
:19:31.:19:35.

if the city is ready. A flavour of Fleadh Cheoil na

:19:35.:19:44.

Eireann... -- Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann. These musicians and

:19:44.:19:47.

dancers will be among a host of performers taking part in the

:19:47.:19:50.

largest Irish cultural festival. There's a great buzz of excitement

:19:50.:19:53.

in the city. It is a really good experience and it is quite fun as

:19:53.:19:59.

well. It is really exciting. It is a big thing to be part of.

:19:59.:20:02.

organisers faced a huge logistical task, recruiting up to 1,500

:20:02.:20:04.

volunteers to help sort out the thousands of people who'll need

:20:05.:20:08.

accommodation and information. Most rooms have been booked out and a

:20:08.:20:14.

number of temporary campsites have also been set up. The logistics of

:20:14.:20:21.

possibly doubling or tripling the population of the city over five

:20:21.:20:27.

days has meant major issues over accommodation, traffic management,

:20:27.:20:31.

the water service, the electricity grid, all of those logistics people

:20:31.:20:36.

do not think about, it has been major. We have been as well prepared

:20:36.:20:42.

as we could have been. It's the first time the All-Ireland Fleadh

:20:42.:20:46.

has been staged outside the Republic. The organisers say they've

:20:46.:20:50.

looked at previous festivals to learn from their experience. The

:20:50.:20:55.

Police admit it's a huge challenge but say Derry is ready. There'll

:20:55.:21:02.

even be PSNI officers available to speak to Fleadh-goers in Irish.

:21:02.:21:08.

have that skill is this now within the organisation, so we have very

:21:08.:21:10.

sound operational reasons for asking our colleagues to come and help us

:21:10.:21:15.

out. On street drinking over a wide area will not be permitted, though

:21:15.:21:20.

some places in the city centre have been granted a temporary licence to

:21:20.:21:24.

serve alcohol. The authorities have called on everyone to have an

:21:24.:21:27.

enjoyable time but to act responsibly. Above all, it's about

:21:27.:21:29.

the performance. This 14-year-old makes his All Ireland Fleadh debut

:21:29.:21:37.

and can't wait. I can't wait. It is going to be an amazing experience.

:21:37.:21:45.

The Fleadh runs until Sunday week. We will hear about the weather

:21:45.:21:48.

shortly. An hour ago, Rory McIlroy looked to

:21:48.:21:51.

have relinquished his grasp on Golf's US PGA Championship, but he's

:21:51.:21:57.

hanging on in there...just. The curls have gone, but the

:21:57.:22:02.

roller-coaster goes on. At one point today it looked like Rory would miss

:22:02.:22:05.

the cut in golf's final major of the year. The defending champion, who's

:22:05.:22:09.

been enduring a season of struggles, fell to four over par early in

:22:09.:22:13.

today's round. But he did recover his composure to rally with four

:22:13.:22:17.

birdies over the last six holes to finish the day on level par, eight

:22:17.:22:23.

shots of lead. -- seven shots off the lead. Darren Clarke is two over

:22:23.:22:27.

at the halfway stage and should make the cut. Graeme McDowell began his

:22:27.:22:29.

second round a short time ago on level par.

:22:29.:22:33.

The Irish League kicks off tomorrow and it does so under a cloud of

:22:33.:22:35.

controversy. The newly formed Northern Ireland Football League,

:22:35.:22:39.

which will operate independently of the IFA, has warned that it's reform

:22:39.:22:42.

or bust. Earlier today, former footballer and board member Peter

:22:42.:22:48.

Dornan joined us in the studio. I asked him if the local game is in

:22:48.:22:55.

the last chance saloon. That is what people are saying.

:22:55.:23:02.

Certainly, the takeover gives us the opportunity to look at the game and

:23:02.:23:06.

to see where it is going, basically, but I wouldn't describe

:23:06.:23:10.

it as a last chance. It is a game which needs a very serious overhaul

:23:10.:23:16.

and review. Myself and my fellow directors in the new league are

:23:16.:23:22.

determined to go ahead and deal with that. Is Sunday football the answer?

:23:22.:23:26.

I do not think so. There has been a lot of debate about it, it is not

:23:26.:23:32.

going to save the game. All I ask for is for the clubs to be more

:23:33.:23:36.

flexible and encourage them to play a Sunday game if the opportunity

:23:36.:23:40.

arises. The rules allow for Sunday football. There is nothing in the

:23:40.:23:43.

rules that says you cannot play Sunday football. I would encourage

:23:43.:23:50.

clubs to be flexible. Friday nights, maybe Thursday nights, and Sundays

:23:50.:23:53.

if necessary. In the league of Ireland they play during the summer,

:23:53.:23:57.

is that something you have looked at? I think that is a more

:23:57.:24:01.

contentious issue than Sunday football. That is something we are

:24:01.:24:05.

seriously looking at. In saying that, we are going to have to engage

:24:05.:24:09.

with the stakeholders, the supporters, the players, the clubs,

:24:09.:24:13.

everybody, to get their views. Certainly that is on the agenda for

:24:13.:24:18.

discussion. For the newly formed league, independence is crucial, but

:24:18.:24:24.

you are funded by the IFA. That cannot be ideal? It is something

:24:24.:24:28.

that causes me concern. How can a body be totally independent if we

:24:28.:24:37.

are being funded by another body? The aim is to become totally

:24:37.:24:40.

independent. It is a starting point. We have no money, so we need the

:24:40.:24:45.

money from the IFA to get up and running. Hopefully it will be cut in

:24:45.:24:49.

the near future. It is a four-year plan. If it does not work, where

:24:50.:24:55.

does that leave the ball? Back to the status quo. Maybe the

:24:55.:25:00.

possibility of the likes of a glorified amateur league. Who knows?

:25:00.:25:03.

If it does not work, I will not be there.

:25:03.:25:11.

We will be back on Final Score tomorrow.

:25:11.:25:15.

Let's return to the city centre, where there has been trouble as

:25:15.:25:18.

loyalists protest against an ante internment march.

:25:18.:25:23.

More trouble in the last couple of minutes. The Republican career is

:25:23.:25:30.

now close. It is just a couple of minutes away. It is supposed to come

:25:30.:25:34.

down Royal Avenue. Loyalists have blocked the road. The police have to

:25:34.:25:39.

decide whether they clear the road and try and get the parade down

:25:39.:25:42.

Royal Avenue, or re-route the parade. There is no easy answer. It

:25:42.:25:46.

looks like it is going to be a long night for the police in the centre

:25:46.:25:52.

of Belfast. More at this evening on the 10:25pm

:25:52.:26:02.
:26:02.:26:03.

we go through this evening, we could see some rain overnight. It is going

:26:04.:26:07.

to be quite cool with temperatures down to nine or 10 degrees

:26:07.:26:17.
:26:17.:26:25.

overnight. It is a big weekend of golf. If you have a tee time but,

:26:25.:26:29.

things should be OK for you. We have had some decent brighter spells but

:26:29.:26:34.

temperatures are below what we would expect at the time of year. Saturday

:26:34.:26:38.

is not a bad day with just a few showers in the afternoon. Over

:26:38.:26:42.

Newcastle, plenty to watch out for. It is the festival of light with a

:26:42.:26:48.

Vulcan. The display begins at two o'clock. It should be a lot of fun.

:26:48.:26:55.

On Saturday, more showers through the evening. It is a damp and chilly

:26:55.:26:59.

night going into Sunday. We have the end of one Festival and the

:26:59.:27:03.

beginning of another in Derry -Londonderry. It is the end of the

:27:03.:27:08.

Maiden City Festival and the start of the flower. Both will be playing

:27:08.:27:13.

dodge the shower, though it will be cooler on Sunday. We have a westerly

:27:13.:27:18.

breeze coming in and that keeps temperatures down. There is more

:27:18.:27:25.

rain around as well. It could be quite soggy in places. The story of

:27:25.:27:33.
