:00:08. > :00:10.Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline.
:00:11. > :00:15.Talks have been held tonight aimed at ending the Orange Order stand-off
:00:16. > :00:22.It centres on a proposed agreement between the Orange Order
:00:23. > :00:26.and a nationalist residents group, which would have meant the parade,
:00:27. > :00:30.which was prevented from returning to Ligoniel on the Twelfth three
:00:31. > :00:33.years ago, would be completed early on Friday morning.
:00:34. > :00:36.That marks the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.
:00:37. > :00:40.A loyalist protest camp at Twaddell Avenue would then be dismantled.
:00:41. > :00:41.Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney
:00:42. > :00:59.Violence erupted moments after an Orange Order parade was stopped at
:01:00. > :01:07.North Belfast on the 12th of July 20 13. Three days of rioting followed
:01:08. > :01:14.with dozens of police officers injured and dozens of people
:01:15. > :01:19.arrested. Since then, there has been a Loyalist protest camp at Twaddell
:01:20. > :01:24.Avenue. Two months ago, a parade was held to Mach 1000 days of protest.
:01:25. > :01:30.The policing operation has cost ?20 million. An agreement was due to be
:01:31. > :01:35.announced today. That would allow the Orange Order to complete the
:01:36. > :01:38.return leg of the parade that was stopped nearly three years ago. When
:01:39. > :01:44.that happened, the Twaddell Avenue protest camp was to be dismantled.
:01:45. > :01:48.An agreement had also been reached on future arose to parades in the
:01:49. > :01:57.area, but not everyone involved in the dispute agreed. The talks
:01:58. > :02:00.involved the Kremlin and Ardoyne residents Association and the Orange
:02:01. > :02:06.Order. Another group said they would not support the deal. Members of one
:02:07. > :02:09.of three Orange Lodges involved said they would not back the agreement
:02:10. > :02:14.and would not take part in the Parade on Friday morning. That
:02:15. > :02:24.raised concerns on the nationalist side that any deal would not stick
:02:25. > :02:26.-- Crumlin. A residents group held a public talk to outline details.
:02:27. > :02:29.Afterwards, some of those who attended said they were opposed to
:02:30. > :02:34.the deal but believed it would go ahead. Sources said the majority of
:02:35. > :02:39.those in the hall supported the proposal. Two nationalist MLAs from
:02:40. > :02:44.North Belfast said they are hopeful the resolution to the dispute can be
:02:45. > :02:49.found. This could be an extraordinary moment. People are
:02:50. > :02:54.very, very worried. They want to come to a conclusion. Tonight was
:02:55. > :02:58.the first time many people had had a chance to look at the details and
:02:59. > :03:06.consider them. Many people have had a lot of questions to ask. Members
:03:07. > :03:10.of Carrer held a private meeting to discuss the feedback and agree the
:03:11. > :03:12.next step. A statement is due to be issued tomorrow.
:03:13. > :03:17.Politicians at the Assembly have been arguing over the implications
:03:18. > :03:23.The Prime Minister told the Commons there would not be a border poll
:03:24. > :03:25.under the conditions of the Good Friday Agreement.
:03:26. > :03:30.Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon.
:03:31. > :03:36.First item on the order paper is a motion on the United Kingdom
:03:37. > :03:42.withdrawal from the European Union. The first Stormont post Brexit.
:03:43. > :03:46.Where now and who to blame? I do not want my fingerprints on the button
:03:47. > :03:50.that Nicola Sturgeon will press to secure a second referendum. And my
:03:51. > :03:54.fingerprints are not on that button but the fingerprints of the leader
:03:55. > :04:03.of the DUP I won that button and she will press it. It was not the only
:04:04. > :04:06.button being pressed. Emotions were running high. The question was never
:04:07. > :04:08.do you want Northern Ireland to stay? The only autonomous answer was
:04:09. > :04:14.the answer that came from the entirety of the people of the UK. Is
:04:15. > :04:23.he going to accept that or is he not? No, is the answer, because I
:04:24. > :04:27.stand by people on this island. Gracious in victory as usual. I
:04:28. > :04:32.stand by people on this island, in this country who do not want to
:04:33. > :04:36.leave the European Union. The First Minister, whose party backed leaving
:04:37. > :04:39.the EU tried to calm fears. I know there are a lot of people in
:04:40. > :04:43.Northern Ireland who are disappointed. There are a lot of
:04:44. > :04:46.people who are angry. There are a lot of people who have made all
:04:47. > :04:53.sorts of terrible prophecies of doom, and if others want to engaging
:04:54. > :04:57.navel-gazing, that is fine. My focus is on doing what is right for all of
:04:58. > :05:02.the people of Northern Ireland, in terms of the negotiations which are
:05:03. > :05:06.coming up very soon. She and her except of partners were on different
:05:07. > :05:11.sides over the referendum, but they say they have now got to put those
:05:12. > :05:15.differences behind them. It's almost like a bombshell that we have to try
:05:16. > :05:20.and make sense of, and whenever we look around at who has a
:05:21. > :05:29.responsibility to deal with all of that, we look to London and what do
:05:30. > :05:33.we see? We see total turmoil. And we cannot afford turmoil. As for claims
:05:34. > :05:43.Stormont could overturn the result, Sinn Fein's call for border poll,
:05:44. > :05:47.that was dismissed by the Prime Minister. As for a border poll, the
:05:48. > :05:51.rules are set out in the Good Friday Agreement and I do not believe they
:05:52. > :05:56.have been triggered. And in terms of the decision to leave the EU and how
:05:57. > :06:03.we do it, that is principally a matter for this Westminster United
:06:04. > :06:06.Kingdom Parliament. Brexit is the first big test of the DUP and Sinn
:06:07. > :06:08.Fein's new working relationship. So far, it is holding. Now they have
:06:09. > :06:12.got to come up with a plan. There has been heavy demand
:06:13. > :06:14.in Northern Ireland for Irish passports since the Brexit vote
:06:15. > :06:17.to leave the European Union. The Republic's government has urged
:06:18. > :06:20.people not to panic. Those entitled to the passport
:06:21. > :06:22.have to have been born in Ireland before 2005,
:06:23. > :06:33.or have a parent or grandparent The rise in demand for the passport
:06:34. > :06:38.is because many people feared journeys to the EU could get more
:06:39. > :06:47.difficult. We have done 1200 since last Thursday. They are afraid of,
:06:48. > :06:50.if when this comes about, when we leave Europe, that they can travel
:06:51. > :06:57.in Europe under an Irish passport and they will have no hassles.
:06:58. > :07:03.Jeremy Corbyn has appointed Dave Anderson as the Northern Ireland
:07:04. > :07:10.shadow secretary. Mr Anderson, who represents Bladon in County Durham,
:07:11. > :07:11.replaces Vernon Coaker who resigned yesterday in protest at Mr Corbyn's
:07:12. > :07:13.leadership. One of Northern Ireland's largest
:07:14. > :07:16.manufacturing firms has been sold Retlan Manufacturing,
:07:17. > :07:19.which trades as SDC Trailers, is based in Toomebridge
:07:20. > :07:23.and employs 950 people. Although the sale price
:07:24. > :07:26.has not been disclosed, it is understood to be the most
:07:27. > :07:28.significant Chinese Thousands of Northern Ireland
:07:29. > :07:34.football fans have welcomed home the players and staff from France
:07:35. > :07:37.with a special Fanzone The team reached the last 16
:07:38. > :08:00.of the Euro Championships A homecoming the team and thousands
:08:01. > :08:06.of fans will never forget. Earlier, they were introduced by the BBC's
:08:07. > :08:15.Stephen Watson. Please welcome Michael McGovern! And next, scored
:08:16. > :08:25.that fabulous goal against Ukraine, he had an outstanding Euro 2016, it
:08:26. > :08:27.is Gareth McAuley! And then the player whose name is the song of
:08:28. > :08:53.Euro 2016 in France. As captain of the team, how
:08:54. > :08:57.important were the green and white army to this experience? I don't
:08:58. > :09:02.think words can sum up what you have done for us. From the first minute
:09:03. > :09:06.going out there and coming here tonight to see the turnout, this is
:09:07. > :09:09.the icing on the cake. It has been an incredible experience, one that
:09:10. > :09:14.you have followed us through every single minute and we thank you very
:09:15. > :09:20.much for that. The squad also showed their appreciation to the man who
:09:21. > :09:23.got them there, and he is planning his next campaign for the World Cup
:09:24. > :09:28.and the Euros. Football brings everyone together. The supporters
:09:29. > :09:33.did everyone credit. Together, we can do great things. We have proven
:09:34. > :09:37.that in this competition. We need keep proving that. With the new
:09:38. > :09:41.stadium, everything is positive. I want every young boy, wherever you
:09:42. > :09:43.are from in Northern Ireland, I want you to play for Northern Ireland.
:09:44. > :09:46.CHEERING And the Republic of Ireland
:09:47. > :09:48.team has also come home. Fans were at Dublin airport to greet
:09:49. > :09:51.the players as they They also made it to the knockout
:09:52. > :09:55.stages of the tournament but lost The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh
:09:56. > :10:02.are in Hillsborough Castle tonight Their visit marks the
:10:03. > :10:12.Queen's 90th birthday. As David Maxwell reports,
:10:13. > :10:13.most of the royal couple's engagements
:10:14. > :10:25.are planned for tomorrow. A bugle signalled the arrival of the
:10:26. > :10:30.monarch, her 25th visit to Northern Ireland. The Queen, accompanied by
:10:31. > :10:34.the Duke of Edinburgh, were greeted by the head of Hillsborough Castle,
:10:35. > :10:39.rather than the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, who was otherwise
:10:40. > :10:43.occupied following the results of last's referendum. The Queen had a
:10:44. > :10:47.private meeting with the First Minister Arlene Foster, followed by
:10:48. > :10:56.a separate audience with the Deputy First Minister. Are you well? Thank
:10:57. > :10:59.you, well, I am still alive. There are a lot of things happening at the
:11:00. > :11:04.moment. I value very much the contribution
:11:05. > :11:10.Queen Elizabeth has made to the people and to reconciliation. And we
:11:11. > :11:14.had a very good engagement for about 20 minutes. Neither would be drawn
:11:15. > :11:18.on what was discussed, and whether or not issues surrounding the
:11:19. > :11:23.withdrawal from Europe were mentioned. This is it not only marks
:11:24. > :11:27.the 90th birthday of the Queen, but it also focuses on tourism.
:11:28. > :11:32.Tomorrow, the royal couple will spend much of their time on the
:11:33. > :11:39.coast, visiting the Giants Causeway, unveiling a statue and opening a new
:11:40. > :11:41.railway station in County Londonderry.
:11:42. > :11:44.A ?10 million fund to fix 1,000 of our rural roads has been set up
:11:45. > :11:47.and the Good Morning Ulster programme will speak to the minister
:11:48. > :12:06.Hello. It will be a largely dry night and not to Chile. In some
:12:07. > :12:11.countryside areas we could see the temperature dipped into single
:12:12. > :12:17.figures. Most of us will stay at 1011 degrees. Tomorrow, if you are
:12:18. > :12:20.up early, it will be a good start. Things will turn wet by breakfast
:12:21. > :12:26.time. It will turn widespread through many places and perhaps a
:12:27. > :12:30.bit heavy as well. Weather warnings for the rain have been issued across
:12:31. > :12:34.parts of Leinster and Munster. Eventually, it will push eastwards
:12:35. > :12:38.across the Irish Sea reaching western areas of Britain, slowly
:12:39. > :12:42.nudge on its way eastwards through the course of the day. Across
:12:43. > :12:47.Ireland, it is an improving picture, as it begins to dry up for many. For
:12:48. > :12:53.Northern Ireland, where expecting a fair amount of cloud to stick around
:12:54. > :12:57.and also some scattered showers. Temperatures are a bit disappointing
:12:58. > :13:01.for the time of year. Back to tomorrow evening, some brighter
:13:02. > :13:05.spells begin to push on from the West. As for Wednesday, it is
:13:06. > :13:09.another wet day with widespread rain on and off. By the end of the day,
:13:10. > :13:14.it should begin to improve. Temperatures up to 15 or 16 degrees.
:13:15. > :13:17.The rain over the next few days is courtesy of low pressure which is
:13:18. > :13:26.controlling our weather at the moment. It will continue to do so
:13:27. > :13:29.right through the rest of the week. More scattered showers. The theme
:13:30. > :13:30.is, keep the umbrella handy. Good night.
