:00:25. > :00:30.church on Donegall Street. The disorder broke out at the last few

:00:30. > :00:34.bands taking part in the parade passed by this church on Donegall

:00:34. > :00:40.Street. Most, if not all of the bands, defied the Parade

:00:40. > :00:44.Commission's ruling that they could not play music here. One band were

:00:44. > :00:48.forbidden from passing the church after this footage was taken on

:00:48. > :00:52.12th July showing them a plane at contentious song outside it. On

:00:52. > :00:55.Saturday, be disobeyed the Parades Commission and did walk past the

:00:55. > :00:58.church. It is believed in nationalist and loyalist were

:00:58. > :01:02.involved and the trouble. Seven police officers were injured and

:01:02. > :01:08.three people were arrested and this morning one of them appeared before

:01:08. > :01:11.Belfast magistrates court. James Boyce who is 38 and from Glasgow

:01:11. > :01:16.faces two charges. He is accused of disorderly behaviour and of running

:01:16. > :01:19.through the middle of the protest with intent to cause a breach of

:01:19. > :01:22.the peace. Belfast magistrates court heard that the accused it

:01:22. > :01:27.travels to Northern Ireland three or four times the year. He attempts

:01:27. > :01:31.and take part in parades. A detective Constable said that James

:01:31. > :01:35.boys committed the alleged offences around 12:00pm on Saturday and that

:01:35. > :01:38.the evidence was captured on CCTV. The accused initially claimed to

:01:38. > :01:42.police that he just happened to come behind the nationalist

:01:42. > :01:45.residents' protest. The detective opposed bail on the grounds that

:01:45. > :01:49.she believed there was a risk that that he would not turn up for

:01:49. > :01:52.future court appearances. She also claimed that there was a chance he

:01:52. > :01:56.could get involved in more trouble and that police were concerned

:01:56. > :02:00.about other contentious parades coming up in September. A defence

:02:01. > :02:05.lawyer said that the accused's time in custody had been traumatic for

:02:05. > :02:10.him and his family. He also claimed that he would lose his job if he

:02:10. > :02:17.was not granted bail. The district judge remanded him in custody and

:02:17. > :02:20.he will appear in court again in four weeks time.

:02:43. > :02:50.Everybody in Maghaberry is very close. Everyone knows one another.

:02:50. > :02:56.The dog is as friendly as they come. I think it is an attack on a poor

:02:56. > :03:00.little dog. It is terrible and hopefully the poor thing it can

:03:00. > :03:05.pull through. More than 7,000 pupils are waiting

:03:05. > :03:09.to find out if their GCSE English grade will change. In a letter to

:03:09. > :03:13.the National Association of Head Teachers, the examinations

:03:13. > :03:16.regulator said there were questions about how great bands were set. The

:03:16. > :03:21.Government is now facing a possible legal challenge over the grading

:03:21. > :03:25.reforms which could cost -- caused thousands of students to miss out

:03:25. > :03:34.on the C grade. Metal theft and efforts to prevent

:03:34. > :03:37.it at two of our large public body have cost taxpayers almost �150,000.

:03:37. > :03:41.The security video footage shows a number of different thefts across

:03:41. > :03:47.private properties across Northern Ireland. They include metal and

:03:47. > :03:51.cable theft. For the public purse, these thefts are likely to cause

:03:51. > :03:57.Translink �50,000, for NI Water, stolen items from manhole covers to

:03:57. > :03:59.equipment used for the treatment of sewerage has led to a cost of

:04:00. > :04:06.�95,000. One private security firm has noticed an increase in

:04:06. > :04:10.potential metal thefts in general especially over the summer holidays.

:04:10. > :04:17.Your presence on the site is a not arise. Like any school holiday,

:04:17. > :04:25.right now, the theft of metal is very prevalent. We will see that in

:04:25. > :04:29.schools and churches. Translink and M I water are working with the PSNI

:04:29. > :04:34.and other utilities partners to implement preventative measures

:04:34. > :04:38.against future incidence of metal theft.

:04:38. > :04:42.No one has ever been recorded swimming from Scotland to Northern

:04:42. > :04:52.Ireland until now! Asset African insurance winner Wayne Soutter has

:04:52. > :04:55.

:04:55. > :04:58.conquered one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the world.

:04:58. > :05:03.This was the moment South Africa Wayne Soutter started his epic

:05:03. > :05:13.journey across the North Channel. The ICS of the ocean it clear to

:05:13. > :05:16.see. OK, OK. This was not his first channels went, conquering the

:05:16. > :05:20.English Channel in 2012. His support team including the

:05:20. > :05:24.community rescue service which is to benefit from farms are raised by

:05:24. > :05:28.the incredible swim, tracked his every move, from the Mull of

:05:28. > :05:34.Kintyre across the Channel towards tour ahead and then along the North

:05:34. > :05:41.Antrim coast line. At one point, his support crew considered pulling

:05:41. > :05:46.him out of the water, but he was having none of it. On the last 100m,

:05:46. > :05:51.it was agonising. He was completely exhausted. He had two support

:05:51. > :05:55.swimmers with them throughout the last two or three miles. This win

:05:55. > :06:00.was about 20 kilometres straight across, but because of the tide, it

:06:00. > :06:05.ended up been around 45 kilometres and taking four hours longer than

:06:05. > :06:09.expected. After a gruelling 12 our swim, he touched the rocks here

:06:09. > :06:13.just after 11 o'clock last night. He had to battle his way through

:06:13. > :06:17.vicious currents and the extreme cold of the sea. At one stage he

:06:18. > :06:22.had to fight his way through a solid mass of jelly fish. His main

:06:22. > :06:28.concern came towards the end when winds picked up, creating waves as

:06:28. > :06:33.high as six feet. A I found myself in the middle of a field of jelly

:06:33. > :06:38.fish. Hundreds of them, everywhere I looked. Eventually, I had to make

:06:38. > :06:43.a decision, if I wanted to carry on, I had to swim through them. I swam

:06:43. > :06:50.through them and be stung like crazy, my arms, my chest, my mouth

:06:50. > :06:56.as well. And there was not enough to stop me. Because it is sheer

:06:56. > :07:01.determination to succeed, I think of the jacket says it all.

:07:01. > :07:05.Superman. Sport and the Antrim Gaelic

:07:05. > :07:07.football manager Liam Bradley has resigned after four years in charge.

:07:07. > :07:12.He has been linked with the manager's job at Derry following

:07:12. > :07:17.their decision to open up nominations for the post. He guided

:07:17. > :07:20.Antrim to the 2009 Ulster final in his first year in charge. The

:07:20. > :07:30.Antrim GAA chairman Jim Murray said he left the county in a much better

:07:30. > :07:35.

:07:35. > :07:38.The Bank Holiday Monday came in on rather a disappointing note, but at

:07:38. > :07:41.least it is going out on a more promising note. We have spells of

:07:41. > :07:45.sunshine, but we also have a few showers, some of which could be

:07:45. > :07:49.heavy, we still have a rain fall warning in place. The showers will

:07:49. > :07:52.not affect everyone, they will die away to lead a dry night. Some

:07:52. > :07:57.clear skies around in the countryside, to dip into single

:07:57. > :07:59.figures, but for the towns and cities, it will stay around 12 or

:07:59. > :08:03.13 degrees. That brings us to tomorrow which will be a much

:08:03. > :08:07.better day, it will be breezy but there will be more sunny spells and

:08:07. > :08:11.also a few showers. The showers tomorrow, they will be fairly hit

:08:11. > :08:16.and miss, fairly well scattered and if you get one, it should pass very

:08:16. > :08:20.quickly and it will be light. Temperatures around 19 or 20

:08:20. > :08:23.degrees and a south-westerly breeze, not feeling too bad at their in the

:08:23. > :08:26.sunshine. Cloud are bubbling up from time to time, but many of us

:08:26. > :08:31.will end the day tomorrow on a pretty decent note with some spells

:08:31. > :08:35.of sunshine. An isolated shower around in some places. Into the

:08:35. > :08:37.night, another whether funds from the West, we can expect to see some

:08:38. > :08:42.heavy downpours during the early hours of Wednesday morning.

:08:42. > :08:45.Temperatures falling to around 12 or 13 degrees for many of us,

:08:45. > :08:48.another mild night to come. Following that rained Marmite, we

:08:48. > :08:52.will see somewhere showers on Wednesday and though showers could

:08:52. > :08:55.be heavy, we may even get the odd rumble of thunder. In between them,

:08:55. > :09:00.there will be spells of sunshine with temperatures up to 20 degrees.
