An anti-internment march in West Belfast has passed

:00:08.:00:12.

Last month, a Parades Commission ruling banned it from passing

:00:13.:00:18.

In the days leading up to this parade, there were concerns about

:00:19.:00:24.

violence around the protest, because of incidents

:00:25.:00:26.

The organisers had this to say before it

:00:27.:00:33.

Hundreds were joined by four Republican bands for

:00:34.:00:48.

the march, which the protesters say was about highlighting the continued

:00:49.:00:51.

We have Republicans from different counties

:00:52.:00:57.

arrested and remanded for two years and after that,

:00:58.:00:59.

serious strict conditions and curfews.

:01:00.:01:06.

Once it gets to the courts, there is no answer, so that is

:01:07.:01:08.

As the parade made its way through West Belfast

:01:09.:01:14.

toward the lower Falls Road and city centre, police units were preparing

:01:15.:01:17.

to block the route in line with the Parade Commission's determination.

:01:18.:01:27.

At the police line, there were speeches by

:01:28.:01:29.

groups supporting the hub of dissident Republican prisoners.

:01:30.:01:31.

The crowd then dispersed without incident.

The former Sinn Fein official was shot dead in April

had been revealed that he'd been working for the police and MI5.

It's day two of the Olympic Games in Rio and the first

:01:53.:01:55.

of Northern Ireland's boxers has been in action.

:01:56.:01:57.

It's been a difficult start to the Olympics for Ireland's boxers

:01:58.:02:05.

But today, the focus was very much inside the ring as

:02:06.:02:13.

Steven Donnelly made his Olympic debut in a welterweight division.

:02:14.:02:21.

Walking to the ring for the biggest moment of his career.

:02:22.:02:24.

This was Steven Donnelly's first Olympic

:02:25.:02:27.

experience and he was determined to enjoy it.

:02:28.:02:30.

The Ballymena man settled quickly into the fight against his

:02:31.:02:32.

He triumphed in round one and never looked back.

:02:33.:02:40.

Eventually he got a unanimous decision from all three judges.

:02:41.:02:45.

There was big pressure on my shoulders coming into the

:02:46.:02:50.

I came away with the win and I couldn't be happier.

:02:51.:02:54.

I definitely was, it was my debut, anybody would be nervous

:02:55.:02:58.

walking out in front of all these people.

:02:59.:03:00.

Northern Ireland comes watching expecting you to win.

:03:01.:03:02.

The pressure was there and I can only

In hockey, Team GB's match against New Zealand has just ended.

:03:06.:03:22.

The team features Northern Irish players as does Team Ireland,

:03:23.:03:26.

which is currently in action against the Netherlands.

:03:27.:03:33.

A look ahead now to a story we'll have this week on BBC Newsline.

:03:34.:03:38.

Since the Brexit vote, there's been a rise in the number of

:03:39.:03:41.

Unionists deciding to get Irish passports.

:03:42.:03:43.

So for them, just how difficult a decision was it?

:03:44.:03:47.

My father would not be pleased if he was still alive.

:03:48.:03:53.

But I'm from Larne, a lot of my friends and relatives

:03:54.:04:03.

are, and some of them will be happy about it and some won't, and some

:04:04.:04:06.

will be doing exactly the same thing.

:04:07.:04:08.

You can see more on that on BBC Newsline this week here on BBC One.

:04:09.:04:11.

Just time now to see what's happening on the weather front.

:04:12.:04:14.

We start of the weekend on a warm and humid note and they will feel

:04:15.:04:23.

fresher this week with winds coming from the North West and there will

:04:24.:04:26.

be quite brisk and unsettled through the middle the week. There will also

:04:27.:04:34.

be spells of rain. After a brief respite this evening, further

:04:35.:04:37.

showers are coming into night accompanied by a blustery wind. It

:04:38.:04:41.

could be gale force on parts of the coast. Late in the night, showers is

:04:42.:04:46.

off and temperatures drop to between 11 and 30 degrees. A bit less humid

:04:47.:04:51.

than last night. Tomorrow, a bright and breezy day coming up. Still if

:04:52.:04:56.

you showers, mostly in the morning, and they will ease off. It still

:04:57.:05:03.

breezy ramparts on the coast. Still some pretty strong winds for parts

:05:04.:05:07.

of Scotland, severe gales which could be quite disruptive and

:05:08.:05:11.

accompanied by showery spells. Elsewhere across the country, bright

:05:12.:05:16.

spells and shattered showers. Good dry and bright spells in between the

:05:17.:05:19.

showers, quite warm in the south with temperatures in the low 20s.

:05:20.:05:24.

Coming back to Northern Ireland for the afternoon, by then, mostly

:05:25.:05:29.

showers will be fading away so we bilby decent spells of St John,

:05:30.:05:32.

breezy around the coast when it will feel quite fresh and I think towards

:05:33.:05:35.

the south, it will feel pleasant enough in the sunshine at around 80

:05:36.:05:39.

degrees. We hold onto those north-westerly winds through the

:05:40.:05:44.

week, with high pressure to the West. President Hollande try and

:05:45.:05:48.

trundle around the edge of that high and they are confined to northern

:05:49.:05:53.

Scotland and elsewhere, a of dry weather, just the odd shower and

:05:54.:05:58.

feeling warmer toward the south with highs of 22 degrees. As we head into

:05:59.:06:02.

Wednesday, that weather front sinks southwards and that will bring a wet

:06:03.:06:07.

day for Northern Ireland, England and Wales. Dry in the North West,

:06:08.:06:11.

feeling fresh and temperatures the average toward the south. Thursday

:06:12.:06:16.

not as wet as Wednesday, but still some rain in.

:06:17.:06:19.
