A deal has tonight been agreed to resolve the long-running Twadell

An earlier attempt to end the row over a contentious Orange Order

march in the area collapsed at the start of the summer.

BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson has the latest from north Belfast.

The Twadell protest camp is still in place here in north Belfast tonight,

but maybe not for much longer. It could be gone within days. Things

moved very quickly tonight. At 10pm a statement was released by the

Reverend Harold Good and Jim Ruddy. They said a local agreement mass

been reached to bring an end to the difficulties surrounding parades and

protests in the Twadell area. Which is where I'm standing now. Here is

perhaps the most significant part of the statement. It says, "The

agreement has the full support of the three Orange Lodges and the

Crumlin, Ardoyne residents association." So significant events

here in north Belfast tonight. They say the full details of this

agreement will be announced tomorrow. My understanding is that

it would involve a parade taking place by the Orange scp order, that

disputed parade that's been disputed for the past three years, taking

place on Saturday, 1st October up past Ardoyne shops and it would

involve the removal of this Twadell protest camp. We have seen deals

fall apart before. So there is that note of caution, but at this stage,

I said to one of the protesters earlier, I said deal or no deal and

they said deal. Ian Paisley's son Kyle has called

off a meeting with a man his father accused of being behind

the Kingmills massacre in which the IRA killed ten

Protestant workmen in 1976. The late DUP leader used

parliamentary privilege to name Eugene Reavey in the House

of Commons 17 years ago. Eugene Reavey lost three brothers

at the hands of Loyalist gunmen in an attack on their home

in County Armagh in 1976. The following day,

ten Protestant workmen We were on our way to

Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry to pick up the corpses of two of my brothers

and we ran into the Kingsmills massacre just shy of

a mile from our home. The one thing that I do remember

was the smell of death and I never smelt anything like it in my life

and it never left me that. For Eugene Reavey, coming

across the scene of the Kingsmills massacre just after his own brothers

were shot was traumatic enough and it was something that

would return to haunt him According to this dossier,

Eugene Reavey... 23 years later the late DUP leader

Ian Paisley used parliamentary privilege to accuse him of being one

of those behind the massacre. It was the awfullest blow that ever

I got in all my life to be accused of one of the worst murders,

one of the worst atrocities My brothers and some of the boys

that were shot at Kings Mills, In fact, they were playing pool 48

hours before both sets The then Chief Constable,

Sir Ronnie Flanagan, said Mr Reavey was never a suspect

but Ian Paisley didn't Recently Mr Reavey wrote

to the Reverend Kyle Paisley In his reply, Kyle Paisley said

he would welcome the Earlier this month, he confirmed

to me that the meeting was planned to go ahead

at sometime in the future. But when details of the proposed

meeting were made public this Mr Reavey

gave his reaction this afternoon. I've had to live with this slur

for over 20 years. I've never asked Kyle Paisley

for an apology on behalf I wanted the meeting

in the spirit of reconciliation. 40 years, the controversy has now

spilled over into There is more on a BBC Radio Ulster

documentary called If Truth Be Told on BBC Radio Ulster this

Sunday at 12.30pm. Goods belonging to the former

Ulster Unionist MP Ken Maginnis are to be seized and sold to cover

a fine and court costs A judge made the ruling

after the politician, who is now a peer, was convicted

of boarding a train in London Lord Maginnis was originally

convicted of boarding a train without a valid ticket in London

in March 2014. The court there ordered him

to pay costs and a fine He claims that when he was

originally summonsed in London he turned up on two

separate occasions only He says he didn't turn up on a third

occasion and it was then that it Since then, he has refused to pay

the fine which has led to the case eventually being moved

here to his hometown of Dungannon. This morning, Lord Maginnis

represented himself and sat He told the court, "I've been

rubbished over an 80p mistake. I resent that old age

is treated this way." The district judge said this

was an unhappy situation and explained to Lord Maginnis

that he could take advantage of a repayment scheme

through which he could dispose The peer however

refused this option. The judge then issued a warrant

for the seizure of goods These will have to be sold

until they reach the value The family of murdered Sinn Fein

official Denis Donaldson say they do not believe the Provisional

IRA killed him, or that his shooting The allegations were made in a BBC

Spotlight programme on Tuesday. A lawyer representing the family

spoke to our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney

after a meeting in Belfast The one theme that has come out

of today's meetings is the theory that was being advanced by BBC

Spotlight earlier this week that this was carried out

by the provisional IRA or authorised by Gerry Adams, I think

it's absolute nonsense. Spotlight did allege that

Denis Donaldson may have been killed by the provisional IRA and that

killing may have been sanctioned What is the family's

reaction to those claims? It does not marry in any way

with lines of inquiry that have been progressed by the Guards

or by the ombudsman. In a statement this afternoon,

BBC Spotlight said the programme dealt with matters of great public

interest and the BBC Ulster have gone top of the pro 12

table after a tough win over the Glasgow Warriors

in Scotstown tonight. An eventful first-half saw

tries from Darren Cave, four players injured,

two Ulster tries disallowed And a penalty try from Paddy Jackson

gave Ulster a half-time lead. Glasgow fought back

in the second-half to take a two point lead, but Paddy Jackson

squeezed over the line The final score,

Glasgow 17, Ulster 22. OK, the weather forecast is next.

Good evening. We are about to get a blast of some

rather autumnal weather. Today we have had a weather front sitting out

to the west of us bringing rain in across the north and the west, but

tonight, that front will begin its slow progress to the east. It means

it will be quite a stormy night and it sets us up for an unpleasant day

on Saturday. Wet and windy is the story of the day as that front

inches ever so slowly to the east. It means that just about everywhere

will see some persistent and heavy rain for a time. We will start to

see some clearance in the west through the afternoon. But it is

really going to take until after dark for the rain to finally move

out and clear out from the East Coast. If we take the wider view,

you can see what's going on. The scale of this front. In front of it,

some warm temperatures and some decent dry weather for the South

East of England and parts of Wales, but Scotland, West Wales, south-west

England and of course, throughout Ireland, we are really going to see

that rain on Saturday. Behind it, we are into some cooler air. So showers

overnight. Once we get into Sunday, you will feel that fresher feel.

Between the showers, there will be decent spells of brightness, the

temperatures not responding and we are really feeling the effects of

that cooler air. I'd love to tell you some better news for the start

of next week, but there is a lot of Weatherheading in our direction. The

remains of a couple of topical storms coming through during the

middle part of next week. So make the most of Sunday. We're back

tomorrow evening at 5.30pm. Until then, thanks for watching. Take
