Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline.

Talks have been held tonight aimed at ending the Orange Order stand-off

It centres on a proposed agreement between the Orange Order

and a nationalist residents group, which would have meant the parade,

which was prevented from returning to Ligoniel on the Twelfth three

years ago, would be completed early on Friday morning.

That marks the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.

A loyalist protest camp at Twaddell Avenue would then be dismantled.

Violence erupted moments after an Orange Order parade was stopped at

North Belfast on the 12th of July 20 13. Three days of rioting followed

with dozens of police officers injured and dozens of people

arrested. Since then, there has been a Loyalist protest camp at Twaddell

Avenue. Two months ago, a parade was held to Mach 1000 days of protest.

The policing operation has cost ?20 million. An agreement was due to be

announced today. That would allow the Orange Order to complete the

return leg of the parade that was stopped nearly three years ago. When

that happened, the Twaddell Avenue protest camp was to be dismantled.

An agreement had also been reached on future arose to parades in the

area, but not everyone involved in the dispute agreed. The talks

involved the Kremlin and Ardoyne residents Association and the Orange

Order. Another group said they would not support the deal. Members of one

of three Orange Lodges involved said they would not back the agreement

and would not take part in the Parade on Friday morning. That

raised concerns on the nationalist side that any deal would not stick

-- Crumlin. A residents group held a public talk to outline details.

Afterwards, some of those who attended said they were opposed to

the deal but believed it would go ahead. Sources said the majority of

those in the hall supported the proposal. Two nationalist MLAs from

North Belfast said they are hopeful the resolution to the dispute can be

found. This could be an extraordinary moment. People are

very, very worried. They want to come to a conclusion. Tonight was

the first time many people had had a chance to look at the details and

consider them. Many people have had a lot of questions to ask. Members

of Carrer held a private meeting to discuss the feedback and agree the

next step. A statement is due to be issued tomorrow.

Politicians at the Assembly have been arguing over the implications

The Prime Minister told the Commons there would not be a border poll

under the conditions of the Good Friday Agreement.

Here's our political correspondent Gareth Gordon.

First item on the order paper is a motion on the United Kingdom

withdrawal from the European Union. The first Stormont post Brexit.

Where now and who to blame? I do not want my fingerprints on the button

that Nicola Sturgeon will press to secure a second referendum. And my

fingerprints are not on that button but the fingerprints of the leader

of the DUP I won that button and she will press it. It was not the only

button being pressed. Emotions were running high. The question was never

do you want Northern Ireland to stay? The only autonomous answer was

the answer that came from the entirety of the people of the UK. Is

he going to accept that or is he not? No, is the answer, because I

stand by people on this island. Gracious in victory as usual. I

stand by people on this island, in this country who do not want to

leave the European Union. The First Minister, whose party backed leaving

the EU tried to calm fears. I know there are a lot of people in

Northern Ireland who are disappointed. There are a lot of

people who are angry. There are a lot of people who have made all

sorts of terrible prophecies of doom, and if others want to engaging

navel-gazing, that is fine. My focus is on doing what is right for all of

the people of Northern Ireland, in terms of the negotiations which are

coming up very soon. She and her except of partners were on different

sides over the referendum, but they say they have now got to put those

differences behind them. It's almost like a bombshell that we have to try

and make sense of, and whenever we look around at who has a

responsibility to deal with all of that, we look to London and what do

we see? We see total turmoil. And we cannot afford turmoil. As for claims

Stormont could overturn the result, Sinn Fein's call for border poll,

that was dismissed by the Prime Minister. As for a border poll, the

rules are set out in the Good Friday Agreement and I do not believe they

have been triggered. And in terms of the decision to leave the EU and how

we do it, that is principally a matter for this Westminster United

Kingdom Parliament. Brexit is the first big test of the DUP and Sinn

Fein's new working relationship. So far, it is holding. Now they have

got to come up with a plan. There has been heavy demand

in Northern Ireland for Irish passports since the Brexit vote

to leave the European Union. The Republic's government has urged

people not to panic. Those entitled to the passport

have to have been born in Ireland before 2005,

or have a parent or grandparent The rise in demand for the passport

is because many people feared journeys to the EU could get more

difficult. We have done 1200 since last Thursday. They are afraid of,

if when this comes about, when we leave Europe, that they can travel

in Europe under an Irish passport and they will have no hassles.

Jeremy Corbyn has appointed Dave Anderson as the Northern Ireland

shadow secretary. Mr Anderson, who represents Bladon in County Durham,

replaces Vernon Coaker who resigned yesterday in protest at Mr Corbyn's

leadership. One of Northern Ireland's largest

manufacturing firms has been sold Retlan Manufacturing,

which trades as SDC Trailers, is based in Toomebridge

and employs 950 people. Although the sale price

has not been disclosed, it is understood to be the most

significant Chinese Thousands of Northern Ireland

football fans have welcomed home the players and staff from France

with a special Fanzone The team reached the last 16

of the Euro Championships A homecoming the team and thousands

of fans will never forget. Earlier, they were introduced by the BBC's

Stephen Watson. Please welcome Michael McGovern! And next, scored

that fabulous goal against Ukraine, he had an outstanding Euro 2016, it

is Gareth McAuley! And then the player whose name is the song of

Euro 2016 in France. As captain of the team, how

important were the green and white army to this experience? I don't

think words can sum up what you have done for us. From the first minute

going out there and coming here tonight to see the turnout, this is

the icing on the cake. It has been an incredible experience, one that

you have followed us through every single minute and we thank you very

much for that. The squad also showed their appreciation to the man who

got them there, and he is planning his next campaign for the World Cup

and the Euros. Football brings everyone together. The supporters

did everyone credit. Together, we can do great things. We have proven

that in this competition. We need keep proving that. With the new

stadium, everything is positive. I want every young boy, wherever you

are from in Northern Ireland, I want you to play for Northern Ireland.

CHEERING And the Republic of Ireland

team has also come home. Fans were at Dublin airport to greet

the players as they They also made it to the knockout

stages of the tournament but lost The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh

are in Hillsborough Castle tonight Their visit marks the

Queen's 90th birthday. As David Maxwell reports,

most of the royal couple's engagements

are planned for tomorrow. A bugle signalled the arrival of the

monarch, her 25th visit to Northern Ireland. The Queen, accompanied by

the Duke of Edinburgh, were greeted by the head of Hillsborough Castle,

rather than the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, who was otherwise

occupied following the results of last's referendum. The Queen had a

private meeting with the First Minister Arlene Foster, followed by

a separate audience with the Deputy First Minister. Are you well? Thank

you, well, I am still alive. There are a lot of things happening at the

moment. I value very much the contribution

Queen Elizabeth has made to the people and to reconciliation. And we

had a very good engagement for about 20 minutes. Neither would be drawn

on what was discussed, and whether or not issues surrounding the

withdrawal from Europe were mentioned. This is it not only marks

the 90th birthday of the Queen, but it also focuses on tourism.

Tomorrow, the royal couple will spend much of their time on the

coast, visiting the Giants Causeway, unveiling a statue and opening a new

railway station in County Londonderry.

A ?10 million fund to fix 1,000 of our rural roads has been set up

and the Good Morning Ulster programme will speak to the minister

Hello. It will be a largely dry night and not to Chile. In some

countryside areas we could see the temperature dipped into single

figures. Most of us will stay at 1011 degrees. Tomorrow, if you are

up early, it will be a good start. Things will turn wet by breakfast

time. It will turn widespread through many places and perhaps a

bit heavy as well. Weather warnings for the rain have been issued across

parts of Leinster and Munster. Eventually, it will push eastwards

across the Irish Sea reaching western areas of Britain, slowly

nudge on its way eastwards through the course of the day. Across

Ireland, it is an improving picture, as it begins to dry up for many. For

Northern Ireland, where expecting a fair amount of cloud to stick around

and also some scattered showers. Temperatures are a bit disappointing

for the time of year. Back to tomorrow evening, some brighter

spells begin to push on from the West. As for Wednesday, it is

another wet day with widespread rain on and off. By the end of the day,

it should begin to improve. Temperatures up to 15 or 16 degrees.

The rain over the next few days is courtesy of low pressure which is

controlling our weather at the moment. It will continue to do so

right through the rest of the week. More scattered showers. The theme

is, keep the umbrella handy. Good night.
