Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where

:00:00.:00:00.

is all from us. Do not forget there is a first look at the papers

:00:00.:00:12.

The Orange Order has called for any protests against yesterday's Parades

:00:13.:00:14.

Members met unionist politicians including the First Minister

:00:15.:00:17.

Earlier the DUP said loyalist paramilitaries have promised not to

:00:18.:00:21.

use violence in any protests against the ruling which bars

:00:22.:00:24.

an Orange Order parade from passing Ardoyne shop fronts on the Twelfth.

:00:25.:00:27.

Our political correspondent Martina Purdy reports.

:00:28.:00:32.

The DUP says it does not want a repeat of scenes like these from

:00:33.:00:40.

North Belfast during last year's 12 protest. It has insisted that those

:00:41.:00:44.

with influence amongst the Loyalist paramilitaries have made a

:00:45.:00:48.

commitment to nonviolence this year. The party says violence is in

:00:49.:00:54.

nobody's interest. We can only seek to use our influence. We are not in

:00:55.:00:58.

a position to direct people and to order them into what they should do.

:00:59.:01:02.

We rely on others to their influence. I believe and take at

:01:03.:01:07.

face value the commitments that have been given. If it turns out the

:01:08.:01:11.

people doing gauge and violence then they will have two answer for that

:01:12.:01:14.

and we will hold them to account and that is why we want to bind people

:01:15.:01:19.

into a clear and non-equivocal statement that makes clear that

:01:20.:01:23.

violence and unlawfulness can be no part in what we are seeking to

:01:24.:01:28.

achieve. Any such commitment is welcome according to the chieftains.

:01:29.:01:32.

I want people of influence right across society and right down to

:01:33.:01:41.

community level to be exercising whatever influence they can to make

:01:42.:01:44.

sure we do not end up dealing with disorder and violence on the

:01:45.:01:47.

streets. If that is the case then it is to be welcomed. The welcome came

:01:48.:01:50.

with a warning against any protests that involve blocking roads. It is

:01:51.:01:56.

unlawful. We will arrest people and secure evidence and prosecute them

:01:57.:02:01.

and they will get criminal records. It may include clearing the road

:02:02.:02:05.

with force at the time if it is the proportionate and sensible thing to

:02:06.:02:10.

do. If people break the law we will do the best to collect evidence and

:02:11.:02:14.

prosecute them. Unionist politicians who walked out of talks yesterday

:02:15.:02:19.

are in a negative mode according to the leader of Sinn Fein who called

:02:20.:02:25.

for calm. We should not minimise the potential but neither should we

:02:26.:02:29.

exaggerate the fact that this is localised. There will be more people

:02:30.:02:36.

in Northern Ireland final that will be engaged in the pretentious --

:02:37.:02:41.

contentious behaviour. The Unionist grassroots opinion is not serious,

:02:42.:02:48.

outside of the Orange the pulse of grassroots unionism wants peace and

:02:49.:02:55.

calm and tolerance and respect. In a statement this evening the Orange

:02:56.:02:58.

Order announced it had met with Unionist leaders, endorsing their

:02:59.:03:03.

stance over the parades commission decision and appealing for protest

:03:04.:03:15.

to be peaceful and lawful. Two men who allegedly represented the IRA

:03:16.:03:21.

with the sisters of Robert McCartney will be charged with IRA leadership.

:03:22.:03:31.

The two men before court are Patrick Wilson and Sean Hughes. They are

:03:32.:03:35.

accused of IRA membership and addressing a meeting encouraging

:03:36.:03:41.

support for the IRA. Evidence has been heard from the sisters of

:03:42.:03:45.

Robert McCartney. They told the court that following the death of

:03:46.:03:47.

their brother they were invited to meetings with the IRA and they said

:03:48.:03:53.

that both of these men were at the meeting. They say the men told them

:03:54.:03:57.

they were from the IRA Army Council and had the authority to speak for

:03:58.:04:02.

the Army Council. To date's meeting also heard of a second meeting with

:04:03.:04:06.

the same men at Holycross Church. At this meeting one man said that if he

:04:07.:04:12.

had his way he would like to see those responsible for killing Robert

:04:13.:04:17.

McCartney get a bullet in the head. The judge ordered the case to go to

:04:18.:04:18.

the Crown Court for trial. Country star Garth Brooks says it's

:04:19.:04:24.

all or nothing when it comes to his Several hundred thousand fans look

:04:25.:04:27.

set to be disappointed after the city council refused

:04:28.:04:35.

licences for two of them. It is a decision that has thrown

:04:36.:04:46.

400,000 Garth Brooks fans into turmoil. After a 17 year wait to see

:04:47.:04:51.

their idol take to the stage again at the Stadium may not be filled

:04:52.:04:56.

with the sound of country music. It follows a decision by Dublin City

:04:57.:04:59.

Council that two of the five concerts planned for the end of this

:05:00.:05:03.

month will not go ahead. It said he could have taken into consideration

:05:04.:05:07.

the views of the local residents but those who live close by so they have

:05:08.:05:24.

not been fully consulted and are campaigning for the shows to go on.

:05:25.:05:27.

There are 373 people who have a job to do the concerts and there are

:05:28.:05:30.

more than that who will come out onto the streets and come out on

:05:31.:05:33.

Sunday and we are having a peaceful meeting so come out and show your

:05:34.:05:36.

support for the concerts. There are kids in the area who have some work

:05:37.:05:39.

up there and depend on as many gigs as possible to go ahead because it

:05:40.:05:42.

is the only job that they have. The City Council says it will not be

:05:43.:05:45.

making any U-turns. It is a mess at the moment and the whole thing is a

:05:46.:05:48.

debacle. It was wrongly handled by the promoters from the start and

:05:49.:05:50.

they did not engage with local residents. Now Garth Brooks has

:05:51.:05:54.

raided into the row and in a statement he said he had faith that

:05:55.:06:07.

the council will make the best decision for the people of Ireland.

:06:08.:06:10.

He added that it was all five shows or none at all, saying picking which

:06:11.:06:13.

ones not to do would be like asking to choose one child over the other.

:06:14.:06:16.

Fancy are hoping he does not pull the plug. It is terrible. People

:06:17.:06:18.

have been brought tickets for presence and booked hotels and

:06:19.:06:20.

everything and they are looking forward to it. I say bring it to

:06:21.:06:24.

Belfast! I know a lot of people who would have camped out for the night

:06:25.:06:28.

to queue for tickets so you can imagine their annoyance. The concert

:06:29.:06:32.

promoter said it followed the proper licensing procedures and it is

:06:33.:06:35.

deeply disappointed by the decision. Now we are saying he can only do

:06:36.:06:47.

three, he does not want to who have bought tickets for the three shows

:06:48.:06:50.

but he does not want to disappoint those who have bought tickets for

:06:51.:06:53.

the two shows so it is up the -- up in the air. It is understood that

:06:54.:06:57.

the promotion company are locked in talks and will not comment further

:06:58.:07:04.

until the start of next week. A 51 your old woman who stole over

:07:05.:07:09.

?100,000 from customers while working at the Northern bank has

:07:10.:07:14.

been given a suspended sentence. The court was told Linda Allison managed

:07:15.:07:17.

to steal the money by taking it from accounts that have not been used for

:07:18.:07:22.

a number of years. The judge Shoji was -- the judge said he was

:07:23.:07:26.

suspending her sentence because of her guilty feet and the fact that

:07:27.:07:30.

she had signed away her pension to pay back most of the money she owed.

:07:31.:07:33.

The Belfast-born businesswoman who founded the Space NK cosmetics chain

:07:34.:07:35.

has been awarded an honorary degree by the University of Ulster.

:07:36.:07:38.

Nicky Kinnaird founded the Space NK business in 1993 in London

:07:39.:07:41.

and it now has 85 shops across the UK, Ireland and the United States.

:07:42.:07:44.

There are two shops in her home city of Belfast.

:07:45.:07:48.

The honorary degree from the university's Ulster

:07:49.:07:50.

business school pays tribute to her tenacity and flair.

:07:51.:07:59.

When I was growing up here I was very sporty and competitive and that

:08:00.:08:05.

was instilled within our family and it came out on the sports field of

:08:06.:08:09.

whatever nature there. When I make my mind up to go for something I

:08:10.:08:14.

will really stick at it. To be successful you have to be

:08:15.:08:19.

determined. Now we go to the forecast.

:08:20.:08:21.

The weather did improve for the latter part of today and things are

:08:22.:08:26.

a bit unsettled as we head into the weekend. We have low pressure in

:08:27.:08:30.

charge which will bring us a mixed bag. Bright and sunny spells but an

:08:31.:08:34.

increasing number of showers, some of them will be heavy. Some could be

:08:35.:08:40.

slow-moving as well. One or two showers for northern and western

:08:41.:08:44.

parts tonight. Most parts will be dry with clear spells. Some rural

:08:45.:08:53.

spots could go a few degrees lower than this. Tomorrow we have a story

:08:54.:08:57.

of sunshine and showers. To begin with not too many of those showers

:08:58.:09:02.

and a fair amount of sunshine. For the Republic of Ireland showers will

:09:03.:09:06.

get going as they will across parts of Scotland. It brightens up across

:09:07.:09:11.

north-west England and in the south-west after a cloudy start but

:09:12.:09:14.

for the rest of England they have the remnants of the weather fronts

:09:15.:09:18.

with bits and pieces of rain. Temperatures well down on the

:09:19.:09:23.

barriers of today. But still quite warm. Coming back to Northern

:09:24.:09:28.

Ireland for the afternoon there will be showers around. If and when you

:09:29.:09:31.

get them and not all parts will they could be quite heavy with the risk

:09:32.:09:36.

of thunder. There will be gaps between the man temperatures should

:09:37.:09:40.

rise to 18. They might ease off tomorrow night to give a dry start

:09:41.:09:44.

on Sunday but then we do it again and the showers look more frequent

:09:45.:09:48.

on Sunday and some could be heavy and thundery and they could even be

:09:49.:09:51.

mixed with hail. Have a good weekend.
