A move to end the dispute over an Orange Order parade in Ardoyne

The proposed agreement would have also led to the end

of the three-year-old protest at Twaddell Avenue.

Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports.

This short section of road in North Belfast is one of the most

contentious Orange Order parade routes.

Three years ago, battles errupted when the parade was prevented

Since then, Loyalist protesters have set up a camp just

across the road from the Nationalist area.

A deal would have brought the protest to an end.

The Order would have completed the return leg of the

At that point, the camp would have been dismantled.

Agreement had also been reached on future parades

Those involved in these talks were confident they were on

Then came to a statement confirming the deal had

This could be an extraordinary moment but people are very worried.

They want to come to a conclusion. Tonight is the first time we've

heard details of the proposals. We were forward to engaging with the

community on those. The plan to end the dispute faced opposition on both

sides. Senior Orange Order sources said

they could still have made the deal But there was concern

on the Nationalist This morning it was announced that

the deal had been collapsed. A spokesperson said

today they are hopeful I don't want to get

into recriminations. I think what is

incumbent upon all of us now is to assess where

we are at and move forward. I do think any of these

issues are insurmountable. With leadership, these

issues can be addressed. In a statement, the Orange

Order thanked all those involved in the initiative and said

it very much regretted Those who backed this deal has given

the failure to reach agreement is soft landing. No one is pointing the

finger, there have been no recriminations. There is a clear

desire to leave the door open in the hope that a deal can be struck at

some stage. A court has been told that a man

who was 23 and from Belfast, was found in the boot of a car

times in the face and scalp, 64 times in the chest, 52 times in the

that once the row became violent, he lost control. After the killing,

vans moved the body will stop he drove here and brought a mobile

phone believing it was his victim, he came back and walk his sleeping

girlfriend Stephanie Todd to tell her what he'd done. The phone had in

fact been hers. Kyle Neil's body had been wrapped in a blanket brought

downstairs and placed in the boot of Wesley vans's Ford Fiesta. Along

with him, Stephanie Todd drove through the early April morning to

her mother's address in the Lisburn Road address area of Belfast. It was

her mother who called the emergency services. Officers found the car and

the body of Kyle Neil in the boot. Vans and Todd were arrested. He

later pleaded guilty to murder, she has since pleaded guilty to

obstructing the police. A barrister for Wesley vans told the police his

client believed he had acted in self defence. After today, vans and

Stephanie Todd will be sentenced next week.

for him backing Brexit was getting controls on immigration.

William Wright says quitting the EU is nothing businesses should

This report from our business correspondent,

Julian O'Neill, contains some flash photography.

William Wright shows off his new electric London bus, his outlook

buoyed by the Brexit result. He was the big name business supporter of

the Leave campaign in Northern Ireland and feels the outcome was a

victory for the campaign underdogs. The good and the bright and the

bankers and all of the people who said we had last and all the doom

and gloom that was going to be going on, it was just overboard. The

immigration crisis was the one that turned me because the bureaucrats in

Brussels -- Brussels didn't know how to deal with that. Best known for

its Boris Bass, Wrightbus is a global business selling much more in

the UK and Far East and in Europe. While it sees Brexit as liberating,

other export businesses are more worried. Take agri- food company,

mashed direct. We don't know who were going to be with profits for

the impact on our costs, we don't know what the impact will be in

terms of the pressures that will be on our customers, supermarkets in

The Education Minister Peter Weir has decided to change the way pupils

get their GCSE grades in Northern Ireland.

In future, many pupils will get their results in the form

of letters and numbers, as our education correspondent

This is the latest in a series of decision by education ministers.

Nearly every young person takes GCSEs but there is going to be

significant change in the results. Pupils here it gets GCSE results

from... In England from next year, people will get great from nine to

one nine is the highest and one is the lowest. A quarter of GCSEs here

are taken by English exam boards. John O'Dowd wanted to keep letter

grade here but they said no. They were going to pull out until his

successor said this today. They will be able to access GCS E courses.

Depending upon the position of schools, some pupils will leave

school with a mixture of letters and numbers for the results.

Principals who met the Minister today welcomed the change. The move

from the alphabetical to the numerical system will be clear,

equitable and it's a matter of people getting used to it. It brings

to schools flexibility and choice again. We were restricted very much

before and know we can look at quality and is, specifications that

are matched much better to the needs of our young people. This won't

affect any pupils getting their GCSE results at schools like this this

summer. There may be some initial confusion and a couple of years when

the two grading systems are first used side-by-side. This is Peter

Weir's first decision as education minister. More tests are sure to

follow. It was a case of deja vu

for the Queen today. She retraced a picturesque rail

journey which she took a month The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh also

went to the Giant's Causeway during a visit that

marks her 90th birthday. Here's our north-east

reporter Sara Girvan. Yesterday, it was Hillsborough can

and the Queen, marking her 90th birthday, to the north coast of

Northern Ireland. First up was the Giant's Causeway. The weather wasn't

kind but the Queen and Jacob Edinburgh still enjoyed the view at

one of Northern Ireland's most iconic landmarks. The royal visitors

even surprised some unsuspecting tourists. We didn't think we'd be

able to come down here, and not be able to see the Giant's Causeway and

not only did we see it but we had a bonus. My kids are going to love

this back industrially. This is part of the tour and we had no idea she

was going to be here until this morning. Next stop was Bushmills

with the Queen unveiled a statue of World War I hero. Her grandfather,

George V, had presented him with a Victoria Cross for bravery during

the Battle of the Somme. The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh met him at

themselves in 1953. His family said having power at the ceremony was a

great honour. It was almost like things coming full circle to have

that connection. It was wonderful that the two of them came back here,

over 60 years later, to give the Royal seal of approval on the

statue. Those who come to see the Royals said it was a momentous day

for Bushmills. I don't think the Queen has been to Bushmills, I know

she's been to the north-east area before but not a Bushmills and

probably in our lifetime, she will not be back again unfortunately. It

was great. Yes, it was worth it, fantastic. We should all try to be

as brave as he was that day 100 years ago. From here in a Bushmills

people are already laying tributes at the statue. It was onto Coleraine

with the Queen be traced a journey she first made during her Coronation

year. Enthusiastic well-wishers gathered in Coleraine to catch a

glance at the royal couple. It was for them a moment to savour. Is very

nice lady. Wonderful, great for the families and the town and great for

the tourist area of Coleraine. It was great for these guys to come and

see her. For 190 ruled who shares the same birthday as the monarch,

the 21st of April 1926, it was a special day. The very same day. I

think she's marvellous and what she does. I can't say I followed her

from when she was a child. She was always a gentle person. The royal

couple arrives to take a trip back in time aboard a steam train. The

five carriage train built in Manchester in 1932 was provided by

the Railway preservation Society with a special VIP journey. It is

not the first time the Queen travelled on this rail line. She was

here in her Coronation year in 1953, a journey between Les Brown and

Derry. The railway station at Bellarena was first opened in 1853

and serves a role population. The new station was officially opened by

the Queen who unveiled a plaque. Although it was only a short 25

minute train journey from Coleraine, it proved a memorable occasion for

the children who got to travel in style with the royal couple. It's a

good experience. I think it's quite surreal, I suppose not many people

get this opportunity. It's a good time to appreciate it. FT that will

live long in the memory. -- a day. So ends the Queen's 25th trip to

Northern Ireland and it's been a visit of mixed emotions. The

jubilation of 90th birthday celebrations and the poignancy of

the Battle of the Somme commemoration is just day before the

centenary. And we'll have a special programme

to mark the Queen's 90th birthday, where William Crawley looks back

on her many visits to Northern Ireland over

the last six decades. That's at 5.15PM this

Sunday on BBC One. And we will also be broadcasting

live from Thiepval in France to mark the 100th anniversary of the Battle

of the Somme with a special commemorative service

at the Ulster Tower. When the First World War broke out

in 1914, thousands of men from across Ulster signed

up to fight. They included the four sons

of the Lynn family, from Coalisland. Sara Neill finds out more

about the County Tyrone family For sons fighting in the greatest

battle. It was something they appearance James and Elizabeth Lynn

from the Coalisland would have been very proud of but they would pay the

ultimate prize. In each case, a letter comes home, dear, Mr and Mrs

Lynn, etc. First, it was Robert. Then William, just 21, fatally

wounded at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. William Lynn went out to go

and get a stretcher to get a wounded colleague. The artillery fort --

fire was rife at the time. He dived to try and sees himself but the

shell directly hit him and he was killed. His commanding officer wrote

home, he died a gallant soldier's death and one of his comrades wrote,

his father and mother would have the consolation that he died a hero's

death. Less than a month later, John was killed in a gas attack in the

trenches. There was one son left. The War office decided it was time

to send James home. James returned to Coalisland. He didn't stay very

very long, possibly soldiering was in his blood, Coalisland properly

seemed tame after what he had experienced. So, he being listed. In

1920, hosted the Palestine, James had become the fourth son of the

Lynn to die in active service. Sergeant James Lynn knew he was not

a well man and he scrawled a note to his commanding officer asking him to

contact his mother, and write to his mother. On the other part of the

note, he wrote to himself, Sergeant James Lynn last on the line. The

death of Robert, William, John and James meant there were no signs left

to carry on the Lynn name. They are remembered here at the family Church

in this plaque which lists the heavy loss felt by their appearance. It

must have been so dramatic, it's untrue. Although both my

grandparents lived till quite an advanced age, and quite sure they

never forgot the trauma of 1914 to 1920.

57 Syrian refugees arrived in Northern Ireland today.

They'll be living in the Craigavon area.

They are the third group of people to come here in the last six months.

Tara Mills has been speaking to three teenagers who've

arrived in December to see how they've settled.

Two brothers and a sister living in your life any country they've never

even heard of six months ago. They have missed several years of school

between them when they moved from Syria to Lebanon, they had to find

jobs. That is making life in school here quite tough. It's difficult. It

is hard work. During clashes very good though. I learned my English in

Lebanon on but in our country, everything is in Arabic which is why

it's difficult. I can catch up. They arrived here with around 50 other

Syrians in December. Learning English is the priority but the

brothers are starting from scratch. Speaking through an interpreter, he

told me about his new life. TRANSLATION: The difference is the

language here, it's difficult but my life here is better than in Syria. I

am going to school and I am learning and the second thing is I can see a

future for me here. It is too late for him to go to school, instead

he's at college. TRANSLATION: I am going to do my training in here

dressing and I learn at the same time in the same place English. The

first thing when I arrived here, it was Belfast and a city that I have

never heard about. It was the first shock for me. The family have been

helped by the Princes trust and by workers who have been a main point

of contact. They help us a lot and they are very lovely. We didn't feel

alone. If we have any problems, they will always ask. We are happy now.

It's a difficult road ahead learning a new language and settling into a

different culture but all three agree the price worth paying.

Freddie Gilroy, one of Irelands finest ever boxers, has died.

The Belfast man, who was 80, had been ill for some time.

Freddie Gilroy turned professional shortly after winning a bronze medal

at the 1956 Olympic games in Melbourne.

He went on to win British, Commonwealth and European titles.

In 1962, Gilroy fought and beat another Belfast man John Caldwell

in, what is widely regarded as, the greatest fight ever to be

Weather wise, it's been wet day for most of us.

Thankfully, it has gradually improved as the day has gone on.

Many of us this evening ended the day with sunshine but we do have a

few showers for one spots. It will turn dry overnight. The clear skies

won't last too long. You may get some sunshine first thing tomorrow

but my rain is on the way. Like today, it is going to improve as the

day goes on. Is that of a bright spell and then the Clyde beckons up

which will bring rain. Some of it will be heavy coming in for the

north and west late in the morning and read about lunchtime. That will

push its way eastwards to the cause of the day. Bringing up nicely for

the west with my and gaps. For travelling tomorrow, a more

unsettled picture will be across many areas of Britain as that

weather front pushes its way eastward but it is an improving

picture right across Ireland with more in the way sunshine developing

from the. It will take a little while before the last of the showers

move away from Northern Ireland but they will do so. It will brighten up

with sunshine coming in from the west. If you're heading to the Bell

sonic concert in Belfast tomorrow it will be largely dry, dusty very slim

chance of showers. It may be keeping your what a blue jacket handy.

Overnight into Thursday, there will be some scattered showers coming in

and not especially chilly. Umbrellas will be helpful tomorrow, they will

be helpful again on Friday. -- Thursday. It won't take long before

the next rain comes in from the Atlantic. Quite widespread and

heavy. The south westerly winds and rain will make it feel a bit colder.

For Freddie, I looked towards the weekend, they will pressure giving

us this unsettled weather will stay with us. There will always be

scattered showers. Not a complete wash-out.
