:00:00. > :00:00.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where

:00:00. > :00:12.is all from us. Do not forget there is a first look at the papers

:00:13. > :00:14.The Orange Order has called for any protests against yesterday's Parades

:00:15. > :00:17.Members met unionist politicians including the First Minister

:00:18. > :00:21.Earlier the DUP said loyalist paramilitaries have promised not to

:00:22. > :00:24.use violence in any protests against the ruling which bars

:00:25. > :00:27.an Orange Order parade from passing Ardoyne shop fronts on the Twelfth.

:00:28. > :00:32.Our political correspondent Martina Purdy reports.

:00:33. > :00:40.The DUP says it does not want a repeat of scenes like these from

:00:41. > :00:44.North Belfast during last year's 12 protest. It has insisted that those

:00:45. > :00:48.with influence amongst the Loyalist paramilitaries have made a

:00:49. > :00:54.commitment to nonviolence this year. The party says violence is in

:00:55. > :00:58.nobody's interest. We can only seek to use our influence. We are not in

:00:59. > :01:02.a position to direct people and to order them into what they should do.

:01:03. > :01:07.We rely on others to their influence. I believe and take at

:01:08. > :01:11.face value the commitments that have been given. If it turns out the

:01:12. > :01:14.people doing gauge and violence then they will have two answer for that

:01:15. > :01:19.and we will hold them to account and that is why we want to bind people

:01:20. > :01:23.into a clear and non-equivocal statement that makes clear that

:01:24. > :01:28.violence and unlawfulness can be no part in what we are seeking to

:01:29. > :01:32.achieve. Any such commitment is welcome according to the chieftains.

:01:33. > :01:41.I want people of influence right across society and right down to

:01:42. > :01:44.community level to be exercising whatever influence they can to make

:01:45. > :01:47.sure we do not end up dealing with disorder and violence on the

:01:48. > :01:50.streets. If that is the case then it is to be welcomed. The welcome came

:01:51. > :01:56.with a warning against any protests that involve blocking roads. It is

:01:57. > :02:01.unlawful. We will arrest people and secure evidence and prosecute them

:02:02. > :02:05.and they will get criminal records. It may include clearing the road

:02:06. > :02:10.with force at the time if it is the proportionate and sensible thing to

:02:11. > :02:14.do. If people break the law we will do the best to collect evidence and

:02:15. > :02:19.prosecute them. Unionist politicians who walked out of talks yesterday

:02:20. > :02:25.are in a negative mode according to the leader of Sinn Fein who called

:02:26. > :02:29.for calm. We should not minimise the potential but neither should we

:02:30. > :02:36.exaggerate the fact that this is localised. There will be more people

:02:37. > :02:41.in Northern Ireland final that will be engaged in the pretentious --

:02:42. > :02:48.contentious behaviour. The Unionist grassroots opinion is not serious,

:02:49. > :02:55.outside of the Orange the pulse of grassroots unionism wants peace and

:02:56. > :02:58.calm and tolerance and respect. In a statement this evening the Orange

:02:59. > :03:03.Order announced it had met with Unionist leaders, endorsing their

:03:04. > :03:15.stance over the parades commission decision and appealing for protest

:03:16. > :03:21.to be peaceful and lawful. Two men who allegedly represented the IRA

:03:22. > :03:31.with the sisters of Robert McCartney will be charged with IRA leadership.

:03:32. > :03:35.The two men before court are Patrick Wilson and Sean Hughes. They are

:03:36. > :03:41.accused of IRA membership and addressing a meeting encouraging

:03:42. > :03:45.support for the IRA. Evidence has been heard from the sisters of

:03:46. > :03:47.Robert McCartney. They told the court that following the death of

:03:48. > :03:53.their brother they were invited to meetings with the IRA and they said

:03:54. > :03:57.that both of these men were at the meeting. They say the men told them

:03:58. > :04:02.they were from the IRA Army Council and had the authority to speak for

:04:03. > :04:06.the Army Council. To date's meeting also heard of a second meeting with

:04:07. > :04:12.the same men at Holycross Church. At this meeting one man said that if he

:04:13. > :04:17.had his way he would like to see those responsible for killing Robert

:04:18. > :04:18.McCartney get a bullet in the head. The judge ordered the case to go to

:04:19. > :04:24.the Crown Court for trial. Country star Garth Brooks says it's

:04:25. > :04:27.all or nothing when it comes to his Several hundred thousand fans look

:04:28. > :04:35.set to be disappointed after the city council refused

:04:36. > :04:46.licences for two of them. It is a decision that has thrown

:04:47. > :04:51.400,000 Garth Brooks fans into turmoil. After a 17 year wait to see

:04:52. > :04:56.their idol take to the stage again at the Stadium may not be filled

:04:57. > :04:59.with the sound of country music. It follows a decision by Dublin City

:05:00. > :05:03.Council that two of the five concerts planned for the end of this

:05:04. > :05:07.month will not go ahead. It said he could have taken into consideration

:05:08. > :05:24.the views of the local residents but those who live close by so they have

:05:25. > :05:27.not been fully consulted and are campaigning for the shows to go on.

:05:28. > :05:30.There are 373 people who have a job to do the concerts and there are

:05:31. > :05:33.more than that who will come out onto the streets and come out on

:05:34. > :05:36.Sunday and we are having a peaceful meeting so come out and show your

:05:37. > :05:39.support for the concerts. There are kids in the area who have some work

:05:40. > :05:42.up there and depend on as many gigs as possible to go ahead because it

:05:43. > :05:45.is the only job that they have. The City Council says it will not be

:05:46. > :05:48.making any U-turns. It is a mess at the moment and the whole thing is a

:05:49. > :05:50.debacle. It was wrongly handled by the promoters from the start and

:05:51. > :05:54.they did not engage with local residents. Now Garth Brooks has

:05:55. > :06:07.raided into the row and in a statement he said he had faith that

:06:08. > :06:10.the council will make the best decision for the people of Ireland.

:06:11. > :06:13.He added that it was all five shows or none at all, saying picking which

:06:14. > :06:16.ones not to do would be like asking to choose one child over the other.

:06:17. > :06:18.Fancy are hoping he does not pull the plug. It is terrible. People

:06:19. > :06:20.have been brought tickets for presence and booked hotels and

:06:21. > :06:24.everything and they are looking forward to it. I say bring it to

:06:25. > :06:28.Belfast! I know a lot of people who would have camped out for the night

:06:29. > :06:32.to queue for tickets so you can imagine their annoyance. The concert

:06:33. > :06:35.promoter said it followed the proper licensing procedures and it is

:06:36. > :06:47.deeply disappointed by the decision. Now we are saying he can only do

:06:48. > :06:50.three, he does not want to who have bought tickets for the three shows

:06:51. > :06:53.but he does not want to disappoint those who have bought tickets for

:06:54. > :06:57.the two shows so it is up the -- up in the air. It is understood that

:06:58. > :07:04.the promotion company are locked in talks and will not comment further

:07:05. > :07:09.until the start of next week. A 51 your old woman who stole over

:07:10. > :07:14.?100,000 from customers while working at the Northern bank has

:07:15. > :07:17.been given a suspended sentence. The court was told Linda Allison managed

:07:18. > :07:22.to steal the money by taking it from accounts that have not been used for

:07:23. > :07:26.a number of years. The judge Shoji was -- the judge said he was

:07:27. > :07:30.suspending her sentence because of her guilty feet and the fact that

:07:31. > :07:33.she had signed away her pension to pay back most of the money she owed.

:07:34. > :07:35.The Belfast-born businesswoman who founded the Space NK cosmetics chain

:07:36. > :07:38.has been awarded an honorary degree by the University of Ulster.

:07:39. > :07:41.Nicky Kinnaird founded the Space NK business in 1993 in London

:07:42. > :07:44.and it now has 85 shops across the UK, Ireland and the United States.

:07:45. > :07:48.There are two shops in her home city of Belfast.

:07:49. > :07:50.The honorary degree from the university's Ulster

:07:51. > :07:59.business school pays tribute to her tenacity and flair.

:08:00. > :08:05.When I was growing up here I was very sporty and competitive and that

:08:06. > :08:09.was instilled within our family and it came out on the sports field of

:08:10. > :08:14.whatever nature there. When I make my mind up to go for something I

:08:15. > :08:19.will really stick at it. To be successful you have to be

:08:20. > :08:21.determined. Now we go to the forecast.

:08:22. > :08:26.The weather did improve for the latter part of today and things are

:08:27. > :08:30.a bit unsettled as we head into the weekend. We have low pressure in

:08:31. > :08:34.charge which will bring us a mixed bag. Bright and sunny spells but an

:08:35. > :08:40.increasing number of showers, some of them will be heavy. Some could be

:08:41. > :08:44.slow-moving as well. One or two showers for northern and western

:08:45. > :08:53.parts tonight. Most parts will be dry with clear spells. Some rural

:08:54. > :08:57.spots could go a few degrees lower than this. Tomorrow we have a story

:08:58. > :09:02.of sunshine and showers. To begin with not too many of those showers

:09:03. > :09:06.and a fair amount of sunshine. For the Republic of Ireland showers will

:09:07. > :09:11.get going as they will across parts of Scotland. It brightens up across

:09:12. > :09:14.north-west England and in the south-west after a cloudy start but

:09:15. > :09:18.for the rest of England they have the remnants of the weather fronts

:09:19. > :09:23.with bits and pieces of rain. Temperatures well down on the

:09:24. > :09:28.barriers of today. But still quite warm. Coming back to Northern

:09:29. > :09:31.Ireland for the afternoon there will be showers around. If and when you

:09:32. > :09:36.get them and not all parts will they could be quite heavy with the risk

:09:37. > :09:40.of thunder. There will be gaps between the man temperatures should

:09:41. > :09:44.rise to 18. They might ease off tomorrow night to give a dry start

:09:45. > :09:48.on Sunday but then we do it again and the showers look more frequent

:09:49. > :09:51.on Sunday and some could be heavy and thundery and they could even be

:09:52. > :09:56.mixed with hail. Have a good weekend.
