:00:20. > :00:24.Newsline... Two teenagers are stabbed and eight

:00:24. > :00:27.police officers injured at internment night bonfires.

:00:27. > :00:33.Tomorrow's protest at an Apprentice Boys parade is cancelled but

:00:33. > :00:36.tensions remain high in Castlederg ahead of a republican parade.

:00:36. > :00:42.The IRA admits killing Brian Stack, the only prison officer murdered in

:00:42. > :00:51.the Republic during the Troubles. Also on the programme...

:00:51. > :01:01.The Belfast pilot who'll be flying THIS over Newcastle tomorrow.

:01:01. > :01:03.

:01:03. > :01:06.a real Thunderbirds sort of thing. If you give a child a crayon to draw

:01:06. > :01:10.an aeroplane he will come up with something like a Vulcan.

:01:10. > :01:14.On day two of Golf's final major of the year, Rory McIlroy is struggling

:01:14. > :01:17.to defend his US PGA title. It'll be a dry bright end to the

:01:17. > :01:26.week and a pretty good day for Saturday. But we could have hail and

:01:26. > :01:30.thunder on Sunday! There is a heavy police presence in

:01:30. > :01:34.Belfast city said this evening ahead of an ante in tournament march by

:01:34. > :01:39.Republicans. Loyalist protests have been planned. Mark since and is in

:01:39. > :01:43.the city centre for us. What is happening there at the moment?

:01:43. > :01:46.The police have had to call for reinforcements down here to the city

:01:46. > :01:56.centre after a brief outbreak of trouble involving loyalist

:01:56. > :02:00.protesters. I am at the bottom of Royal Avenue outside Debenhams. The

:02:00. > :02:05.shopping centre closed earlier this evening because of fears of what

:02:05. > :02:11.could happen with this protest and the anti-internment republican

:02:11. > :02:15.parade. The trouble has been pretty minor so far, but there is a very

:02:15. > :02:20.heavy police presence. There was a smoke bomb thrown by loyalist

:02:20. > :02:25.protest is about 15 minutes ago and a couple of missiles. Then, some

:02:25. > :02:29.protesters tried to turn over a police Land Rover. The police

:02:29. > :02:33.arrived and the reinforcements arrived. I have seen the police

:02:33. > :02:38.water cannon arrive as well. Everywhere you look in the city

:02:38. > :02:42.centre this evening, you can see the police, dozens of vehicles, hundreds

:02:42. > :02:47.of officers. It seems relatively calm at the moment, it is one of

:02:47. > :02:50.those nights when the police will be very glad when it is over.

:02:50. > :02:52.Eight police officers were injured and two teenagers were stabbed

:02:52. > :02:57.during last night's violence at several bonfires marking the

:02:57. > :03:01.anniversary of internment. The stabbings were in a nationalist area

:03:01. > :03:04.of north Belfast. In another incident, a man attacked the police

:03:04. > :03:09.with a sword. Sinn Fein have criticised the bonfire organisers,

:03:09. > :03:14.saying the fires attract people who want to cause trouble. Chris Page's

:03:14. > :03:17.report begins in the Lower Falls area of west Belfast.

:03:17. > :03:22.As the flames were dying down this morning, the police investigation

:03:22. > :03:26.was beginning. So was the clear-up. Council staff were getting rid of

:03:26. > :03:31.the rubbish from the site where the police came under attack last night.

:03:31. > :03:35.A crowd threw paint bombs, bottles and bricks at PSNI officers. Eight

:03:35. > :03:39.police were hurt. Two were treated in hospital for head injuries. The

:03:39. > :03:42.PSNI arrested eight people. While the bonfire burned, the Fire and

:03:42. > :03:46.Rescue Service had to come out and watch these houses, in case they

:03:46. > :03:54.caught fire. Although the bonfires are to mark the anniversary of

:03:54. > :04:00.internment, Sinn Fein are opposed to them. People from this community are

:04:00. > :04:04.asking that this is the last one fire that we see, because it is

:04:04. > :04:07.unacceptable, it attracts anti-social elements, and it is

:04:07. > :04:10.unacceptable to the majority of people. And the problems began even

:04:10. > :04:15.before the fire was lit. This journalist was attacked, along with

:04:15. > :04:19.a photographer, when they went to the site yesterday. They were fairly

:04:19. > :04:25.drunk, most of them. When we decided to leave because it was getting

:04:25. > :04:30.dangerous, we came under attack with a barrage of glass bottles. When we

:04:30. > :04:33.managed to get out of the way, they continued to throw the bottles at

:04:33. > :04:36.passing cars, almost causing an accident at one stage. There was

:04:36. > :04:40.also trouble at this bonfire at Torrens Crescent, near the Oldpark

:04:40. > :04:48.Road in North Belfast. Two teenagers who were at the site were stabbed

:04:48. > :04:53.nearby. The attack happened here at about half past midnight. A boy and

:04:53. > :04:58.April were taken to hospital the condition of the boy, who is 16, is

:04:58. > :05:01.described as serious but stable. The girl suffered injuries which are not

:05:01. > :05:03.thought to be life-threatening. And here in the New Lodge area, the

:05:03. > :05:06.police fired two plastic bullets during more disturbances. A man

:05:06. > :05:09.armed with a sword attacked officers. After a difficult night,

:05:09. > :05:16.the PSNI say their inquiry will be thorough in trying to identify

:05:16. > :05:19.anyone involved in violence. A nationalist residents' group has

:05:19. > :05:25.called off a protest against an Apprentice Boys parade through

:05:25. > :05:27.Castlederg tomorrow. The move comes as tensions in the town remain high.

:05:27. > :05:33.On Sunday, republicans are planning a commemoration to remember IRA

:05:33. > :05:35.members killed during the Troubles. Sinn Fein say it will be a peaceful

:05:35. > :05:39.act of remembrance, but the Secretary of State Theresa Villiers,

:05:39. > :05:41.Unionist politicians, the SDLP and the Alliance Party say it should be

:05:41. > :05:45.called off. Here's our Political Reporter Stephen Walker.

:05:45. > :05:48.This part of Country Tyrone has focussed political minds all week.

:05:48. > :05:53.Castlederg is due to host an Apprentice Boys parade on Saturday

:05:53. > :05:56.and a republican parade on Sunday. Nationalists and republicans had

:05:56. > :06:06.originally planned to hold a counter demonstration to the Apprentice Boys

:06:06. > :06:08.

:06:08. > :06:13.parade, but now that protest has been called off. We have never

:06:13. > :06:16.protest against the Apprentice Boys, but we were protesting against the

:06:16. > :06:22.fact that they have come into the Nationalists end of the town without

:06:22. > :06:24.seeking the consent of the community, which is the first time

:06:24. > :06:27.they have done that in five and half years. Sunday's prarade by

:06:27. > :06:32.republicans commemorates members of the IRA, including two IRA men who

:06:32. > :06:35.died in 1973 when their own bomb exploded prematurely. A number of

:06:35. > :06:41.families whose relatives were killed by the IRA in Castlederg say the

:06:41. > :06:50.parade is insensitive. Jackie Hamilton was in the UDR and was shot

:06:50. > :06:54.by the IRA. His nephew is against Sunday's parade. Why do they have to

:06:54. > :07:01.bring it to the place where they cost so much death and destruction?

:07:01. > :07:11.29 murders, over 50 bombs. I mean, they could have it where the two men

:07:11. > :07:13.

:07:13. > :07:17.had died. They have been having it elsewhere for years, why bring it to

:07:17. > :07:20.the scene of such death and devastation? There is much political

:07:20. > :07:29.opposition to Sundays parade. The Secretary of State, the Alliance

:07:29. > :07:33.Party and the SDLP say it should not go ahead. Given that so many people

:07:33. > :07:37.have died in the Castlederg area, there is a lot of pain. These

:07:37. > :07:40.commemorations are fine but I think a lot of people are still suffering

:07:40. > :07:45.and the pain reopens when they hear of such parades as this. The DUP and

:07:45. > :07:52.the UUP are also opposed to Sunday's parade. And even at this late stage,

:07:52. > :07:57.Unionists hope republicans will change their mind. We have reports

:07:57. > :08:01.of the victims having to go to doctors to get medication. They are

:08:01. > :08:04.reliving this day in, day out, and that is totally wrong. It is wrong

:08:04. > :08:07.that they are bringing this back into the forefront of the life of

:08:07. > :08:13.the people of Castlederg. Sinn Fein say Sunday's parade is not a

:08:13. > :08:15.celebration. It has been re-routed away from the town's war memorial.

:08:15. > :08:19.Deputy First Minster Martin McGuinness said it will not glorify

:08:19. > :08:29.or celebrate the IRA's campaign, but will be a peaceful act of

:08:29. > :08:32.

:08:33. > :08:36.remembrance. 30 years after the murder, the IRA

:08:36. > :08:39.has admitted shooting the only prison officer in the Republic to be

:08:39. > :08:42.killed during the Troubles. Brian Stack was wounded as he left a

:08:42. > :08:46.boxing match in Dublin and died the following year. Louise Cullen

:08:46. > :08:50.reports Brian Stack was shot in the back of the head as he left a boxing

:08:50. > :08:53.match in Dublin in 1983. The father of three died from his

:08:53. > :09:01.injuries the following year. Two years ago, one of Mr Stack's sons

:09:01. > :09:05.spoke to BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight reporter, Declan Lawn.

:09:05. > :09:08.was paralysed from the neck down. He was very badly brain-damaged. We did

:09:08. > :09:12.try and get on with life but it was very difficult for us. Three months

:09:12. > :09:22.ago, the family met Gerry Adams to ask for help to establish if the IRA

:09:22. > :09:24.

:09:24. > :09:31.was involved. Today, Gerry Adams expressed regret for the killing.

:09:31. > :09:37.met with a former IRA leader who had investigated the smarter and for the

:09:37. > :09:43.first time it was made clear to the family that Republicans had been

:09:43. > :09:47.involved in the killing of their father. Gardai say a superintendent

:09:47. > :09:55.has been appointed to liaise with the family and it would be

:09:55. > :09:59.inappropriate to comment further. Still to come...

:09:59. > :10:03.The World Police and Fire Games are coming to an end. People will

:10:03. > :10:10.remember this as a friendly city, a city where people have extended a

:10:10. > :10:12.warm up to all the visitors, and a city we should be proud of. -- a

:10:12. > :10:15.warm welcome. A County Tyrone woman has appeared

:10:16. > :10:18.in court charged with having what the police believe are components to

:10:18. > :10:22.trigger a type of bomb used by dissident republicans. Nuala

:10:22. > :10:27.Gormley, who is 36 and from Morgan Park in Dromore, was arrested after

:10:27. > :10:37.a car was stopped on Tuesday. Gordon Adair was in the court for BBC

:10:37. > :10:42.Newsline. Gore was driving a Nissan which was

:10:42. > :10:51.stopped by the police just outside Cookstown on Tuesday evening. --

:10:51. > :10:54.Nuala Gormley was driving. They find in -- they find an oil drum wrapped

:10:54. > :10:59.in black tape. They find transmitters and receivers and

:10:59. > :11:05.antenna right. They believe this was to be used to detonate a bomb by

:11:05. > :11:10.Ramon control. The accused told officers said she knew nothing about

:11:10. > :11:16.the item. The police also found Wellington boots, some gloves and

:11:16. > :11:20.two coats. A detective said Nuala Gormley had no criminal record, but

:11:20. > :11:24.said this was common practice among dissident groups, to use people with

:11:24. > :11:28.a clean record to transport items because they were less likely to

:11:28. > :11:33.come under scrutiny from the police. Bail was refused and the accused was

:11:33. > :11:36.remanded in custody to appear again next month.

:11:36. > :11:41.In a separate case, a 39-year-old County Armagh man was refused bail

:11:41. > :11:44.on similar charges. Gabriel Martin Mackle, from Glebe Hill Manor in

:11:44. > :11:50.Tandragee, was stopped by the police while he was riding a motorbike in

:11:50. > :11:53.Lurgan on Wednesday. The court was told officers found ammunition and a

:11:53. > :11:57.bottle containing mercury in the rucksack he was wearing and that

:11:57. > :12:07.mercury could be used as part of a trigger for an under-car booby trap

:12:07. > :12:07.

:12:07. > :12:13.bomb. Three people have been airlifted to

:12:13. > :12:19.hospital after being rescued from cliffs at Fairhead near Bally half

:12:19. > :12:24.-- Ballycastle. The rescue operation began at around

:12:24. > :12:29.3:30pm today. A large family group or out walking and six members got

:12:29. > :12:32.into some difficulty from exhaustion. The Irish Coast Guard

:12:32. > :12:36.helicopter with coastguard teams from Ballycastle and Coleraine were

:12:36. > :12:41.called to the scene to help. I understand that two members of the

:12:41. > :12:46.group were taken by the RNLI to the lifeboat station. One member of the

:12:46. > :12:51.group, a man who was presenting some hard difficulties, was airlifted to

:12:51. > :12:55.Aldergrove and will be transferred to Antrim area hospital for a

:12:55. > :13:05.checkup. The operation is over and the coastguard teams are pulling

:13:05. > :13:05.

:13:05. > :13:10.out. The World Police and Fire Games are

:13:10. > :13:17.all but over by the closing ceremony. 7000 entrants from 64

:13:17. > :13:25.countries attended. From dodge ball to darts, it has been the friendly

:13:25. > :13:29.and sociable games. It's not often you get to see this

:13:29. > :13:33.on home turf... The New Zealand Haka - enough to put the opposition, in

:13:33. > :13:41.this case the French, right off. A song and dance which seems to have

:13:41. > :13:46.pulled in the crowds. We have been overwhelmed by the number of people

:13:46. > :13:49.who have turned up. For the ice hockey we had over 40,000 people.

:13:49. > :13:53.This is a tremendous success for Northern Ireland. From traditional

:13:53. > :13:56.sports to events you wouldn't expect to see, but a real test of strength

:13:56. > :14:01.and endurance regardless. And then there's the out of the blue

:14:01. > :14:07.sports... This could be one of two sports, and

:14:07. > :14:14.it is not darts, it is wrist-wrestling. That is not a

:14:14. > :14:21.sport, but who is arguing? Northern Ireland takes on America.

:14:21. > :14:23.friendliest ever! All very friendly, really. In the Games' 28-year

:14:23. > :14:29.history, Northern Ireland has hosted the friendliest, apparently. But the

:14:29. > :14:38.organisers would say that, wouldn't they? We have only said it once

:14:38. > :14:45.before, to Melbourne in 1995. You have eclipsed the 1995 for the best

:14:45. > :14:49.Games ever. They had the passion. We did not know very much about

:14:49. > :14:56.Belfast. We knew that the games were in good hands and they would never

:14:56. > :15:01.let us down. Good news for business... It has been very

:15:01. > :15:05.successful for the city in general. The food turnover especially has

:15:05. > :15:08.been through the roof, and we have had to stay open later to

:15:08. > :15:13.accommodate the athletes and their families and friends. We have been

:15:13. > :15:18.serving food up to 12 o'clock at night, which has been on of. Fairfax

:15:18. > :15:27.in Britain it will host the next World Police and Fire Games in two

:15:27. > :15:33.years' time. It seems like it will be quite an act to follow!

:15:33. > :15:36.Still to come... Tens of thousands of people descend

:15:36. > :15:44.on the north-west for the biggest event of the City of Culture

:15:44. > :15:47.calendar, the Fleadh. Next to an iconic plane - a VIP in

:15:47. > :15:57.the skies that, weather permitting, will be at the Newcastle Festival of

:15:57. > :15:58.

:15:58. > :16:02.Flight tomorrow. It's the world's last flying Vulcan bomber. Its

:16:03. > :16:05.future is still in doubt. The distinctive delta wing aircraft will

:16:06. > :16:09.land at Belfast International Airport and will be open to the

:16:09. > :16:18.public on Sunday. BBC Newsline's Mervyn Jess has been to its base in

:16:18. > :16:26.Doncaster to meet a pilot from Belfast. 5... 4-mac... 3... To...

:16:26. > :16:29.1... Thunderbirds are go! It's as much an icon of the '60s as

:16:29. > :16:34.Thunderbirds, and like the TV series this aircraft stirred the

:16:34. > :16:36.imaginations of children and adults. Now for the first time in nearly 30

:16:36. > :16:41.years, the Vulcan bomber is returning to Northern Ireland to

:16:41. > :16:44.take part in this weekend's Festival of Flight in Newcastle. And at the

:16:44. > :16:54.controls, flying it home so to speak, will be north Belfast pilot

:16:54. > :16:56.

:16:56. > :17:01.Bill Perrins. When I was a schoolboy I used to like cycling a lot. I saw

:17:01. > :17:07.films of the Vulcan landing, using a great parachute to slow the plane. I

:17:07. > :17:14.went to the top of the Antrim Road one day with some of my friends. One

:17:14. > :17:21.of the guys have a parachute with a of about six feet. I thought I would

:17:21. > :17:26.emulate a Vulcan. I tied it to the back of my seat. As I was quizzing

:17:26. > :17:34.down the road and deployed the parachute, the bike stopped and I

:17:34. > :17:42.kept going over the handlebars. An aeroplane inspired me to do silly

:17:42. > :17:46.things on my bicycle! The delta wing is the aircraft's unique feature.

:17:46. > :17:50.There is nothing like this in the air today. The Vulcan's last time an

:17:50. > :17:53.action was during the Falklands War in 1982, when the aircraft flew

:17:53. > :17:59.thousands of miles to bomb Port Stanley airport. This weekend, it's

:17:59. > :18:02.on a much friendlier mission to Northern Ireland. We heard a strong

:18:02. > :18:08.rumour that the aircraft may never fly after the end of this year. It

:18:08. > :18:12.seems like they have made a way of making a fly until at least 2015.

:18:12. > :18:17.The story behind my enforcement is I was the last controller to speak to

:18:18. > :18:24.it when it last displayed at the 25th anniversary of the airport. I

:18:24. > :18:27.had to terminate the display to allow others to land behind it.

:18:27. > :18:34.Apart from the Red Arrows, the Vulcan is unlikely to play second

:18:34. > :18:39.fiddle to any of the other display aircraft tomorrow. It is such a

:18:39. > :18:46.bizarre ship, it is a real Thunderbirds sort of shape. If you

:18:46. > :18:49.give a kid a crayon to draw on aeroplane, it will come out with

:18:49. > :18:52.something like a Vulcan. This aircraft will fly until 2015. After

:18:52. > :19:02.that, its future depends on charity funding, Lottery grants and aero

:19:02. > :19:05.engineering skills. Even a Vulcan has a drip tray!

:19:05. > :19:08.The biggest festival of Irish culture will be the biggest event in

:19:08. > :19:11.the City of Culture year in Londonderry and it starts this

:19:11. > :19:14.Sunday. Up to 300,000 visitors are expected to take part and enjoy

:19:14. > :19:21.Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann with a week of street music sessions,

:19:21. > :19:31.concerts and drama. Our North-west reporter Keiron Tourish checks out

:19:31. > :19:35.

:19:35. > :19:44.if the city is ready. A flavour of Fleadh Cheoil na

:19:44. > :19:47.Eireann... -- Fleadh Cheoil na hEireann. These musicians and

:19:47. > :19:50.dancers will be among a host of performers taking part in the

:19:50. > :19:53.largest Irish cultural festival. There's a great buzz of excitement

:19:53. > :19:59.in the city. It is a really good experience and it is quite fun as

:19:59. > :20:02.well. It is really exciting. It is a big thing to be part of.

:20:02. > :20:04.organisers faced a huge logistical task, recruiting up to 1,500

:20:05. > :20:08.volunteers to help sort out the thousands of people who'll need

:20:08. > :20:14.accommodation and information. Most rooms have been booked out and a

:20:14. > :20:21.number of temporary campsites have also been set up. The logistics of

:20:21. > :20:27.possibly doubling or tripling the population of the city over five

:20:27. > :20:31.days has meant major issues over accommodation, traffic management,

:20:31. > :20:36.the water service, the electricity grid, all of those logistics people

:20:36. > :20:42.do not think about, it has been major. We have been as well prepared

:20:42. > :20:46.as we could have been. It's the first time the All-Ireland Fleadh

:20:46. > :20:50.has been staged outside the Republic. The organisers say they've

:20:50. > :20:55.looked at previous festivals to learn from their experience. The

:20:55. > :21:02.Police admit it's a huge challenge but say Derry is ready. There'll

:21:02. > :21:08.even be PSNI officers available to speak to Fleadh-goers in Irish.

:21:08. > :21:10.have that skill is this now within the organisation, so we have very

:21:10. > :21:15.sound operational reasons for asking our colleagues to come and help us

:21:15. > :21:20.out. On street drinking over a wide area will not be permitted, though

:21:20. > :21:24.some places in the city centre have been granted a temporary licence to

:21:24. > :21:27.serve alcohol. The authorities have called on everyone to have an

:21:27. > :21:29.enjoyable time but to act responsibly. Above all, it's about

:21:29. > :21:37.the performance. This 14-year-old makes his All Ireland Fleadh debut

:21:37. > :21:45.and can't wait. I can't wait. It is going to be an amazing experience.

:21:45. > :21:48.The Fleadh runs until Sunday week. We will hear about the weather

:21:48. > :21:51.shortly. An hour ago, Rory McIlroy looked to

:21:51. > :21:57.have relinquished his grasp on Golf's US PGA Championship, but he's

:21:57. > :22:02.hanging on in there...just. The curls have gone, but the

:22:02. > :22:05.roller-coaster goes on. At one point today it looked like Rory would miss

:22:05. > :22:09.the cut in golf's final major of the year. The defending champion, who's

:22:09. > :22:13.been enduring a season of struggles, fell to four over par early in

:22:13. > :22:17.today's round. But he did recover his composure to rally with four

:22:17. > :22:23.birdies over the last six holes to finish the day on level par, eight

:22:23. > :22:27.shots of lead. -- seven shots off the lead. Darren Clarke is two over

:22:27. > :22:29.at the halfway stage and should make the cut. Graeme McDowell began his

:22:29. > :22:33.second round a short time ago on level par.

:22:33. > :22:35.The Irish League kicks off tomorrow and it does so under a cloud of

:22:35. > :22:39.controversy. The newly formed Northern Ireland Football League,

:22:39. > :22:42.which will operate independently of the IFA, has warned that it's reform

:22:42. > :22:48.or bust. Earlier today, former footballer and board member Peter

:22:48. > :22:55.Dornan joined us in the studio. I asked him if the local game is in

:22:55. > :23:02.the last chance saloon. That is what people are saying.

:23:02. > :23:06.Certainly, the takeover gives us the opportunity to look at the game and

:23:06. > :23:10.to see where it is going, basically, but I wouldn't describe

:23:10. > :23:16.it as a last chance. It is a game which needs a very serious overhaul

:23:16. > :23:22.and review. Myself and my fellow directors in the new league are

:23:22. > :23:26.determined to go ahead and deal with that. Is Sunday football the answer?

:23:26. > :23:32.I do not think so. There has been a lot of debate about it, it is not

:23:33. > :23:36.going to save the game. All I ask for is for the clubs to be more

:23:36. > :23:40.flexible and encourage them to play a Sunday game if the opportunity

:23:40. > :23:43.arises. The rules allow for Sunday football. There is nothing in the

:23:43. > :23:50.rules that says you cannot play Sunday football. I would encourage

:23:50. > :23:53.clubs to be flexible. Friday nights, maybe Thursday nights, and Sundays

:23:53. > :23:57.if necessary. In the league of Ireland they play during the summer,

:23:57. > :24:01.is that something you have looked at? I think that is a more

:24:01. > :24:05.contentious issue than Sunday football. That is something we are

:24:05. > :24:09.seriously looking at. In saying that, we are going to have to engage

:24:09. > :24:13.with the stakeholders, the supporters, the players, the clubs,

:24:13. > :24:18.everybody, to get their views. Certainly that is on the agenda for

:24:18. > :24:24.discussion. For the newly formed league, independence is crucial, but

:24:24. > :24:28.you are funded by the IFA. That cannot be ideal? It is something

:24:28. > :24:37.that causes me concern. How can a body be totally independent if we

:24:37. > :24:40.are being funded by another body? The aim is to become totally

:24:40. > :24:45.independent. It is a starting point. We have no money, so we need the

:24:45. > :24:49.money from the IFA to get up and running. Hopefully it will be cut in

:24:50. > :24:55.the near future. It is a four-year plan. If it does not work, where

:24:55. > :25:00.does that leave the ball? Back to the status quo. Maybe the

:25:00. > :25:03.possibility of the likes of a glorified amateur league. Who knows?

:25:03. > :25:11.If it does not work, I will not be there.

:25:11. > :25:15.We will be back on Final Score tomorrow.

:25:15. > :25:18.Let's return to the city centre, where there has been trouble as

:25:18. > :25:23.loyalists protest against an ante internment march.

:25:23. > :25:30.More trouble in the last couple of minutes. The Republican career is

:25:30. > :25:34.now close. It is just a couple of minutes away. It is supposed to come

:25:34. > :25:39.down Royal Avenue. Loyalists have blocked the road. The police have to

:25:39. > :25:42.decide whether they clear the road and try and get the parade down

:25:42. > :25:46.Royal Avenue, or re-route the parade. There is no easy answer. It

:25:46. > :25:52.looks like it is going to be a long night for the police in the centre

:25:52. > :26:02.of Belfast. More at this evening on the 10:25pm

:26:02. > :26:03.

:26:04. > :26:07.we go through this evening, we could see some rain overnight. It is going

:26:07. > :26:17.to be quite cool with temperatures down to nine or 10 degrees

:26:17. > :26:25.

:26:25. > :26:29.overnight. It is a big weekend of golf. If you have a tee time but,

:26:29. > :26:34.things should be OK for you. We have had some decent brighter spells but

:26:34. > :26:38.temperatures are below what we would expect at the time of year. Saturday

:26:38. > :26:42.is not a bad day with just a few showers in the afternoon. Over

:26:42. > :26:48.Newcastle, plenty to watch out for. It is the festival of light with a

:26:48. > :26:55.Vulcan. The display begins at two o'clock. It should be a lot of fun.

:26:55. > :26:59.On Saturday, more showers through the evening. It is a damp and chilly

:26:59. > :27:03.night going into Sunday. We have the end of one Festival and the

:27:03. > :27:08.beginning of another in Derry -Londonderry. It is the end of the

:27:08. > :27:13.Maiden City Festival and the start of the flower. Both will be playing

:27:13. > :27:18.dodge the shower, though it will be cooler on Sunday. We have a westerly

:27:18. > :27:25.breeze coming in and that keeps temperatures down. There is more

:27:25. > :27:33.rain around as well. It could be quite soggy in places. The story of
