controversial return to the north of the city? At the parade, they will

stop at a line of marshals. The bands will play some tunes. At this

point, a short statement will be made, after which the lodges and

bands will parade down to the hall and disperse. I have -- I have a

message for all Protestants and unionists who feel strongly about

what is happening now. If you lift a stone or a bottle on the 12th day,

you falling into a republican trap. Anyone intent on causing trouble

should stay away from tomorrow evening's protests. I am calling for

people not to engage in anything unlawful. We need to be careful

about this. If we want to win this cultural stuff, we need to be doing

a politically. They need to put their face and the political parties

in the Orange Order to pull this off. When a crush people should obey

the law and that is to be welcomed. The police have revealed they have

spent ?55 million policing all parades and union flag protests

since December 2012. During the same period, nearly 700 people were

arrested and more than 500 convicted of offences. This July's 11th night

bonfires made tower higher than every amidst controversy about some

of the political posters and other objects placed upon them. The police

are hoping that this year's marching season will turn out to be less in

century on the streets than the events of July 2013. The application

for judicial review was made by an Orange Order by saying their rights

were denied. Mr Justice where said the parade's commission was

justified in making its determination.

The hundreds of thousands of country music fans who have bought tickets

to Garth Brooks concerts still don't know if they'll go ahead.

It's now been revealed the singer's manager has sent an

e-mail to the Taoiseach appealing for him to reinstate five concerts.

Our arts correspondent Maggie Taggart has this report.

Garth Brooks is our cup of tea. The 400,000 ticket holders are still

wondering if they will be going to a live performance at the end of this

month. Posts on social media are starting to say they have lost faith

in the singer after he ruled out a deal to do two matinees instead of

two weekday evenings. We're not interested in going now. He could

have done the three and not let as many people down. And e-mail has

been sent from Garth Brooks's team. They have to appeal for a review of

the matinee's including the two concerts. The city manager cannot

change his mind. Our planning laws do not allow anybody to change their

mind. The integrity of the planning act must remain in situ. The Lord

Mayor has appealed for the Lord Mayor to facilitate the plans and

the economy. All of the parties bear some responsibility for what has

gone wrong in this case, including Garth Brooks. Tickets for the

concert were being sold over there. A court has heard claims that the

singer and politician Dana Rosemary Scallon knew about allegations her

brother had abused children. Dana, who grew up in Londonderry,

denied knowledge of the allegations while she was campaigning to be

Irish President several years ago. Her brother, John Brown,

has been put on trial in London this week charged with abusing two girls

gave way to politics. -- Dana's. He is on trial at Harrow Crown Court in

London accused of child sex abuse. He is charged with rape -- five

counts of indecent assault against five girls. The alleged abuse

happened in the 1970s. In 2011, Dana ran for the presidency of Ireland

and denied any prior knowledge of the allegations against her brother.

The court has found evidence from one of the alleged victims who

claims John touched her inappropriately many times. Speaking

about that phone call, the alleged victim told the court:

The court also heard evidence from the alleged victims' mother. The

mother also said she has spoken to Dana and she told her she knew

somebody who could talk to John Brown. Her understanding was the

person Dana was talking about was a priest. The court heard the alleged

victim and her family eventually met John Brown again after Dana claimed

her brother had been cured. The alleged victim' mother said:

The defence argued the allegations had been made up. In a heated

exchange, the mother insisted the claims were true. John Brown denies

the charges. The trial is expected to last for another two weeks.

Ulster Rugby has issued an unreserved apology

after a photograph showing three international rugby stars posing

The 12th fortnight was once a time when the factories and

In the construction industry the so-called builders' fortnight

would see workers down tools and close sites.

But with more firms now getting work from outside Northern Ireland,

With a greater reliance on international contracts, firms have

had to adapt. Even at home, major projects like the redevelopment of

the Ravenhill Stadium cannot afford to grind to a halt. We have seen

them move away from this. It is reflective of how the construction

industry has changed over the past number of years, certainly from our

perspective. Previously the best out of our work was in Northern

Ireland. That has changed as we look to explore markets at national

levels in the UK and international level. The trade unions do agree set

holidays within industry but these are becoming flexible. There are

problems desperate there are -- there are those that do still take

the holidays. Contracting companies will respond to their needs. A lot

of our companies are working successfully in Great Britain. The

July holiday is of no relevance at all and they will work through the

holiday in that context. For many people here, taking two weeks off in

July has always been the norm. When I was younger, mum and dad would

have taken two weeks off and we went to Spain. Factory people will have

had the 12th fortnight. They have been doing that for years.

Traditionally, parents would have taken us away in those two weeks to

get away from everything. For many smaller building contractors, the

12th fortnight is still set in stone and that makes it easier for

companies to plan for the rest of the year. With most building form --

building firms still looking into this, many look into how they can

still afford to take the traditional holiday. Still to come: I will see

what I can get away with, with this. A pop band from Londonderry say it

Keiron Tourish has more A four piece pop band have built up

a loyal following. After watching videos of Gianfranco Zola, they

wrote a song about their idol. Then the story took an amazing turn, just

like one of his mesmerising runs the Chelsea. We had a song about Zola

and then we were like, we need a music video. Our friend went to

university and met this girl with a surname, Zola. She was like, " that

is my dad." He agreed to be in the video. The band were apprehensive

about movie -- meeting the Italian legend. He soon put them at ease. So

nice. He was laughing and joking and it was great. It was unbelievable.

we continue our countdown to Glasgow 2014 , Nikki Gregg reports

on our Netball team's preparations ahead of their big debut.

Don't be deceived by the occasional wobble. They are making steady

progress on the international scene. This is designed to give the players

a solid grounding. We're looking at ankle stability because it seems to

be the number one injury. We are doing some sprint work also.

It is a fast game and there is lots of changes in direction. We are

trying to maximise their ability to do that on the court. Play the high

tempo game. It is hoped the hard work will pay off. Northern Ireland

are in the same group as Saint Lucie and Scotland along with New

Zealand, Jamaica and Malawi. Glasgow, we want to reach the top

eight. To achieve that will be brilliant. The Commonwealth Games is

a big competition compared to the World Championship. We want to crack

into the -- crack into the top eight. They have developed a tight

knit panel. We see each other every day and we know each other pretty

well. There is a core group that has come up from under 21 level and we

have been through a big journeyed together. For a lot of us, this is

our pinnacle. They are keen to make the most of being on the big stage.

Now Geoff's here with the weather for the bank holiday weekend.

But first a special report and a warning from the RNLI.

Yes Tara, this week I've been out with

the crew of the Newcastle lifeboat on a special training exercise.

They're asking families heading for the coast this July fortnight

to leave Li-lo's, beach balls and other inflatable?s at home.

-- inflatables. If you take one of these out on the beach, what is the

worst thing that can happen? You could lose a life. Because my wife

would like me in one piece, we have put some precautions in place. We

have been called out to people who have been blown away and luckily we

have always got them. That could change. There is no covenants and

node types and in the beach, it is a different environment. I feel like I

am drifting. We see rip currents. It is a little bit of a river moving

from the beach out to sea. There is no waves breaking in it. If you look

to somewhere where there is no waves, you may think it is the

safest place to swim but it will take you from the beach out to sea.

Just trying to swim in a wee bit. I don't feel like I am making much

headway. As you can see, you have loaned a mile offshore in a short

space of time. The wind has taken us to where we are now. Apparently,

this is the international signal. It prevents needless calls to the

lifeguard at the coast. It could lead to moral -- more call-outs

later on. We have had a grey day. That cloud will include drizzly

rain. It is a mild night tonight with temperatures around 50 Celsius.

All of that cloud means we have a drizzly start to the bank holiday

weekend with some heavy rain later on. This is the picture you will be

working up to. We have some drizzle and then all of this rain starts to

arrive. By the time we get to the afternoon, that could be quite

heavy. It spreads in from the West as we go through the day.

Temperatures are cooler than we have seen today. I think we will do well

to get above 18 Celsius. That rain could linger along the east coast

well into Saturday evening. Quite a soggy picture to start the weekend.

As we head into next week, there is an unsettled feel to our weather. It

will not be wall-to-wall rain. It is driven by these fronts, cross island

and that will detect -- dictate our weather. Those Atlantic

and that will detect -- dictate our coming in one by one. We will have

some gaps and Sunday is one of those gaps. A brighter day and still a

future was around. More of a gaps. A brighter day and still a

of seeing some sunshine and the temperatures reflecting that. By the

time we get into Monday, I'm afraid we have got the next one of those

systems on the way. A different feel to the day as the rain starts to

work its way in. If you are weighing up this weekend of thinking when you

can get out and about, Sunday will be the day for a walk on the beach.

Whatever you are doing, if you are thinking about going for a dip in

the sea, leave the inflatables well behind. Our late summer is at

10:25pm. You can also keep in contact with us on
