:01:15. > :01:17.hangs on the meeting with the Secretary of State to discuss the
:01:18. > :01:22.Unionist call for a commission of inquiry into the decision, barring
:01:23. > :01:26.the parade past Ardoyne shops. The parties have agreed that at every

:01:34. > :01:38.of cultural expression resulting from republican violence and threats
:01:39. > :01:41.of violence will have a consequence determining how our members at each

:01:47. > :01:50.problem around parades can't be solved by talking to the secretary

:02:00. > :02:02.have to work in a respectful manner with those who live here, not
:02:03. > :02:07.someone who flies in from London once or twice a week. We've heard
:02:08. > :02:12.what the secretary of state has said and that's fine. She's guarded but
:02:13. > :02:15.mildly positive, I would describe it as. That's good so let's see if she
:02:16. > :02:19.goes ahead with their meeting. Hopefully that can happen quickly
:02:20. > :02:23.and then let's see what her definitive response is. Questions
:02:24. > :02:27.were also asked about those sitting on side the Orange Order at today's
:02:28. > :02:31.news conference, including some bullet or parties with links to
:02:32. > :02:36.Loyalist paramilitaries. -- political parties. In some cases
:02:37. > :02:39.they are community representatives and the fact that a person has a
:02:40. > :02:46.past does not mean they can't have a future. The framework is based on
:02:47. > :02:50.fundamental principles, which are being lawful, being peaceful and
:02:51. > :02:57.being respectful. The only threat of violence is coming from Republicans.
:02:58. > :03:04.We defend any statement at any stage. There is a highlight of
:03:05. > :03:09.optimism and hope that we will get through this weekend without things
:03:10. > :03:15.escalating into serious disorder or violence. I share that hope and
:03:16. > :03:20.optimism but people have choices to make here. People are responsible
:03:21. > :03:27.for their own notch. I need to be very clear. -- their own actions.

:04:02. > :04:05.that call and look at what sales figures were in previous years. The
:04:06. > :04:09.shops are open between 12 and five and there are other activities. We
:04:10. > :04:13.will have to see what happens but it is up to the retailers themselves to
:04:14. > :04:18.make that call. Outside Belfast a lot of our members will aim to try
:04:19. > :04:23.and trade as much as possible. In retail terms, it won't be a huge
:04:24. > :04:26.loss. It will depend on who turns out in the city centre and what

:05:42. > :05:46.system keeps throwing it back here. The problem isn't here. It has been
:05:47. > :05:50.the blame game. Residents, the promoter, the council and the singer
:05:51. > :05:53.all came in for criticism and politicians lined up to offer
:05:54. > :05:58.solutions in what looked like a soap opera of the music world. I believe
:05:59. > :06:03.that through discussion - I certainly hope it will be possible
:06:04. > :06:06.to discuss this issue. If the concert can be broken up and Garth
:06:07. > :06:13.Brooks gets three consecutive concerts now, as is planned, and a
:06:14. > :06:17.quarter of a million fans, then he can get the other two consecutive
:06:18. > :06:19.concerts later on. That is not mention the guards explaining their
:06:20. > :06:25.take on the possible risks of five concerts. We were satisfied that the
:06:26. > :06:33.event management plan, which was a five-day plan, could run. Even the

:08:28. > :08:31.caught some sharp showers. They will fade away to leave a mainly dry
:08:32. > :08:34.night but where we did get the breaks in the cloud, they will tend
:08:35. > :08:39.to fill in with cloud again and it could become a bit misty. A muggy
:08:40. > :08:44.night with temperatures generally holding in double figures between 11
:08:45. > :08:48.and 13. Into tomorrow, it looks as if we are going to hold onto pretty
:08:49. > :08:53.cloudy skies but compared to today, fewer showers so the emphasis is on
:08:54. > :08:56.mainly dry weather and a few spots Kabila Peak to see the odd bright
:08:57. > :09:00.spell, particularly towards the east. The cloudy skies extend into
:09:01. > :09:05.the Republic but there could be a few spots of rain, which should fade
:09:06. > :09:08.away throughout the day. A fair amount of cloud for central and
:09:09. > :09:12.eastern England and some showery outbreaks affecting London and the
