He refused to stand up and didn't say anything in reaction.

The 45-year-old from Aspen Walk in Dunmurry was flanked

in the dock, and three armed police officers who stood

A detective sergeant told the court he could connect the accused

The Universities Minister, Stephen Farry, is to meet residents

in the mainly student Holyland area of South Belfast.

It follows trouble there in the early hours of St Patrick's Day.

Mr Farry is expected to meet residents on Monday.

The longer St Patrick's Day went on, the bigger the crowd got.

There was none of the violence which scarred the previous night,

A local residents group says Stormont has to

take action to stop it happening again next year.

Among those helping with the clean-up was Declan Boyle.

He is a Belfast city councillor and also a landlord in the area.

Should you not be doing more to police your tenants?

You tell me what you would like me to do.

For a start, you could make sure they're

not drinking on the street, not dropping litter.

The drinking on the street is the responsibility

of the council, the PSNI but more the council.

That is their responsibility, not mine.

Belfast City Council recently cut back the number of security cameras

Some believe more CCTV would help but others say

This is a massive hall called the Holyland.

If we had enough parents out there, those kids would know

It was a difficult night for the emergency services.

In the city centre a paramedic was assaulted by a drunk teenager

While she was treating the patient, she was kicked

But Stormont ministers say they are taking the problem

seriously and they will talk to residents.

Police have seized ?400,000 worth of suspected herbal cannabis.

Half of it was in a car stopped on the M2.

The rest was found in a follow-up operation in Antrim.

but had no option but to release him.

Eric Anderson, seen here, gave evidence to the inquest

The inquest was told he was ill and this was the only way

Responding to questions by counsel for the coroner, Mr Anderson said

he destroyed all his notes or journals relating

"How did you destroy your journals?" he was asked.

"By burning and shredding them", he said.

"The rules require you to keep notes for ten

Asked if he had kept copies, he said no.

He was asked if he thought it would be

useful at a later date but he said at the time he was under serious

threat, he was moving house and it was decided that destroying

Robert Howard, who was widely suspected of killing

Arlene Arkinson, was arrested six weeks after her disappearance.

Eric Anderson said it was his decision to arrest Howard

because his inquiry pointed strongly to Howard killing Arlene.

He said he could not remember the reasons.

he was snowed under with information and wanted to get more evidence

to build a case against Howard and get him

Howard was later released and freed to go.

Mr Anderson was asked if he had any concerns about this.

"It was the only decision open to us", he said.

It also emerged that the then Chief Constable, Sir Hugh Annesley,

ordered a search of the home and garden of Kathleen Arkinson,

Eric Anderson will continue giving evidence to the inquest next month.

Northern Ireland's Attorney General has said the Easter Rising

100 years on, the centenary of these tumultuous events has

produced a mountain of literature, including this publication looking

at both what happened in Dublin and the Battle of the Somme

from the perspective of the Christian faith.

It includes an interview with the Attorney General,

John Larkin, who says of the Easter Rising:

It's a view likely to provoke strong reactions, both for and against.

He's giving that as a legal perspective and it was great

to have his voice as somebody who had

studied that and had an interest in history,

but at the same time the bit most interesting to me

is him saying that reconciliation is not possible without forgiveness

and that is theological and requires God, so a number

John Larkin is not afraid of saying difficult things.

He stirred controversy when he argued there should be

an end to prosecutions for Troubles-related killings.

What's the weather going to be like for the weekend?

We haven't seen much sunshine to say and as a result it has felt chilly.

We will keep dry but cloudy weather this weekend, many places will feel

cool but hopefully we will see a little sunshine especially on

Sunday. Tonight that cloud will act like a blanket and temperatures will

mostly stay above freezing, so frost less likely. On the other side

tonight, there will still be areas of low

tonight, there will still be areas especially over hills,

tonight, there will still be areas and misty start on Saturday, it

should brighten a little with the cloud lifting of the hills, one or

two brighter breaks are likely across Southern California is. Some

decent sunshine across central Scotland, one or two rider breaks

elsewhere across the but cloud around, one or two spots of drizzle

and there should be some sunshine over parts of Cork and Kerry and

into County Clare. Where the sun comes out temperatures should hit

double figures but maybe not higher than six or seven where it is

cloudy, so it looks dry but cool and cloudy for the Ireland match

tomorrow, Ireland's last match in the Six Nations. We have more chance

of seeing sun on Sunday, temperatures up to ten or 11

degrees. It stays dry into the new week, high pressure still in charge

but generally quite cloudy.
