The DUP and Sinn Fein are sharply divided

:00:13.:00:14.

over unionist demands for an inquiry into parading in North Belfast.

:00:15.:00:17.

Martin McGuinness dismissed the idea as one-sided nonsense

:00:18.:00:18.

while Peter Robinson said Unionists just wanted a fair result.

:00:19.:00:21.

Representatives of the unionist parties met the

:00:22.:00:23.

Secretary of State at Stormont this afternoon to discuss the issue.

:00:24.:00:25.

Our political correspondent Martina Purdy reports.

Summer, 2013 and loyalists vent their anger over a ban on an Orange

The real reason the Parades Commission made its decision,

loyalists claimed. They united this month to demand

an inquiry into the issue. The fact that the Parades Commission

has called for a structured process to bring people together is worth

it with people. The SDLP has warned any such

:01:19.:01:21.

inqiury would be a mistake. effectively second-guessing what

:01:22.:01:31.

the Parades Commission has decided I think that is tantamount to

his own message for the Secretary of State,

claiming that what was proposed The situation at Ardoyne is not

unless there is. There is no reason to set up

a commission only to talk to Let's be very clear, this is wrong,

jail into a luxury hotel could be in serious doubt because

:02:36.:02:43.

of a row over funding. The developer is threatening to

:02:44.:02:46.

withdraw 11 million pounds from the project unless Stormont

:02:47.:02:49.

commits more money. Our business correspondent

:02:50.:02:53.

Julian O'Neill has the story. Armagh Jail has waited seven years

housing and a new public space. Almost half will come

from a private developer. But the rest - from public funds -

:03:09.:03:14.

is a problem, with indications that this will kill

:03:40.:03:47.

It would be a disaster for Armagh unless a solution is found.

:03:48.:03:54.

The developer has increased his contribution to 11 million.

:03:55.:03:56.

Armagh Council has pledged two million.

:03:57.:04:00.

The Heritage Lottery Fund has earmarked the same amount, but only

:04:01.:04:03.

And that's the issue because between them, Stormont departments

:04:04.:04:09.

have promised six million, leaving a shortfall of four.

:04:10.:04:13.

The developer - who is based in Bath - has written

to Armagh Council warning he will pull out in September.

all hope that the project can still go ahead, but a letter to the Office

of the First and Deputy First Ministers has not been answered

:04:40.:04:44.

One of the main roads in South Belfast is to be closed

:04:45.:04:47.

for weeks, while engineers carry out emergency repair work.

:04:48.:04:49.

They've discovered a number of holes, which they're describing

:04:50.:04:51.

as voids, under the surface of the Ravenhill Road.

:04:52.:04:54.

There are concerns that the road could collapse.

:04:55.:04:55.

The problem was discovered during sewer replacement works.

:04:56.:05:01.

The prosecution and defence have begun their closing speeches in the

:05:02.:05:04.

final stages of the trial of John Brown, the brother of Eurovision

:05:05.:05:07.

The sixty-year-old from Bracknell, faces five charges

:05:08.:05:15.

of indecent assault against two young girls in the 1970s.

:05:16.:05:18.

Andy West reports from Harrow Crown Court.

:05:19.:05:23.

for is 60-year-old John Brown denies all five charges of indecent assault

:05:24.:05:31.

against young girls aged as young as five. It has also been alleged that

:05:32.:05:37.

his sister, Dana Rosemary Scallon knew about the alleged assault for

:05:38.:05:43.

more than 30 years. The prosecution asked the jury to use their common

:05:44.:05:47.

sense and accused John Brown and Dana Rosemary Scallon of a cover-up.

:05:48.:05:53.

She claimed it was suspicious that the defendants knew exactly what

:05:54.:05:58.

they were doing on particular dates at particular times. Be careful, she

:05:59.:06:00.

told the jury, is this a at particular times. Be careful, she

defendants knowing their story and sticking to it? Giving evidence

:06:07.:06:10.

yesterday, Dana Rosemary Scallon said she had known nothing about the

:06:11.:06:15.

alleged assaults. Speaking for the defence, the barrister asked the

:06:16.:06:20.

jury to be dispassionate, detached and analytical. He said the case for

:06:21.:06:25.

the defence was slick and precise and then went on to accuse one of

:06:26.:06:29.

the crucial prosecution witnesses of wriggling like game I get on a hook

:06:30.:06:35.

every time evidence was questioned. He said that John Brown had not

:06:36.:06:41.

wriggled once. The judge will begin summing up the evidence

:06:42.:06:41.

There are fears for the well-being of a dolphin or

:06:42.:06:49.

porpoise which has become stranded in a river in Strabane nearly thirty

:06:50.:06:51.

As Keiron Tourish now reports, the mammal has caused quite a stir.

Since the mammal, affectionately nicknamed Flipper was

:07:05.:07:06.

You can see the crowd that was out here today

:07:15.:07:16.

We are craving for a zoo around Strabane!

:07:17.:07:28.

The joy at the sighting of the dolphin or porpoise took

:07:29.:07:30.

Local people feared the worst as there seemed to be no movement

:07:31.:07:34.

I came down yesterday with the wee ones to see the dolphin

:07:35.:07:41.

We decided to come down this morning to show my husband and we

:07:42.:07:46.

The mystery continues as to how this mammal actually got here.

:07:47.:07:59.

The local government agency says it has more than likely got lost.
