A deal to end the dispute over an Orange order parade in Belfast has

:00:14.:00:19.

collapsed. The proposed agreement would have led to the end of a three

:00:20.:00:28.

old protest. This short section of road in West Bell -- north Belfast

:00:29.:00:31.

is one of the most contentious Orange order parade routes. Three

:00:32.:00:36.

years ago by Lintz erupted when a parade was prevented from walking

:00:37.:00:41.

along it. Since then the loyalist protesters have set up a camp just

:00:42.:00:45.

across the road from the nationalist Ardoyne area. The Crumlin Ardoyne

:00:46.:00:54.

residents Association the Orange order should abruptly protest to an

:00:55.:01:04.

end. At that point the protest camp would have been dismantled.

:01:05.:01:08.

Agreement was also reached on an approach to future Orange parade in

:01:09.:01:12.

the area. So confident with those involved in the talks that this room

:01:13.:01:17.

was booked for a press conference to announce a deal yesterday afternoon,

:01:18.:01:22.

but it was cancelled and nobody turned up. Instead, hours later,

:01:23.:01:26.

they held a public meeting to outline to national residents --

:01:27.:01:30.

nationalist residents what was on offer. The plan to end the dispute

:01:31.:01:35.

faced opposition from both sides. Another nationalist residents group

:01:36.:01:39.

not involved in the talks said it would oppose any deal. The members

:01:40.:01:45.

of one of three Orange order is involved in the stand-off said they

:01:46.:01:51.

would not back it. Senior Orange leaders insist they could have made

:01:52.:01:55.

it work despite the opposition but there were concerns on the

:01:56.:01:58.

nationalist side that the deal could not stick. This morning it was

:01:59.:02:01.

announced that the agreement had collapsed. A statement from talks

:02:02.:02:04.

facilitators said... A spokesman said it hopes at deal

:02:05.:02:21.

can still be reached. I don't want to get into recriminations. I think

:02:22.:02:26.

it may stifle any progress we may make in the future. I think what is

:02:27.:02:31.

incumbent on all of us now is to assess where we're at it and move

:02:32.:02:35.

forward. I don't make any of these issues are insurmountable. The

:02:36.:02:41.

Orange order has thanked all of those involved in the initiative.

:02:42.:02:45.

The statement says it very much regretted it hadn't succeeded. Those

:02:46.:02:56.

who back to this deal has given the failure to reach agreement as a soft

:02:57.:03:00.

landing. There are no recriminations and no one is for pointing a finger

:03:01.:03:04.

of blame. There is a clear desire to leave the door open, in the hope

:03:05.:03:07.

that a deal can be stuck at some stage.

:03:08.:03:12.

A court has been told that a man was stabbed about 200 times in,

:03:13.:03:15.

what was called a frenzied and repeated attack

:03:16.:03:17.

The body of Kyle Neil, who was 23 and from Belfast,

:03:18.:03:21.

was found in the boot of a car outside a house in the south

:03:22.:03:25.

It had been moved there by his killer and his killer's girlfriend.

:03:26.:03:32.

28-year-old Wesley Harry Vance has pleaded guilty to the murder

:03:33.:03:35.

Kyle Neil was just a few days away from turning 24.

:03:36.:03:52.

He had gone to a party at the flat of a friend, Wesley Vance.

:03:53.:03:57.

The court heard after most people went home, Stephanie

:03:58.:04:00.

Todd went to bed and the two sat up drinking.

:04:01.:04:02.

An argument led to a fight, and an attack described as

:04:03.:04:04.

Kyle Neil was stabbed around 200 times,

:04:05.:04:07.

64 times in the chest, 52 times in the torso, back and neck.

:04:08.:04:15.

The court heard Wesley Vance admitted

:04:16.:04:16.

that once the row became violent, he lost control.

:04:17.:04:18.

After the killing, Vance moved the body.

:04:19.:04:29.

He drove to this carpark and brought a mobile phone,

:04:30.:04:36.

believing it was his victim's, and threw it away

:04:37.:04:39.

he came back and woke his sleeping girlfriend, Stephanie Todd,

:04:40.:04:41.

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

:04:42.:04:47.

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

:04:48.:04:49.

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

:04:50.:04:52.

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

:04:53.:04:56.

It was her mother who called the emergency services.

:04:57.:05:00.

Officers found the car and the body of Kyle Neil in the boot.

:05:01.:05:03.

He later pleaded guilty to murder, she

:05:04.:05:08.

has since pleaded guilty to obstructing the police.

:05:09.:05:12.

A barrister for Wesley Vance told the police his

:05:13.:05:16.

client believed he had acted in self defence.

:05:17.:05:22.

After today's hearing, Vance and Stephanie Todd will be

:05:23.:05:25.

Graffiti including the symbol of a swastika has been daubed on the door

:05:26.:05:37.

of a house in Armagh. Two cars were also sprayed in the attack in the

:05:38.:05:42.

orange field area. Details have just emerged of the attack which happened

:05:43.:05:47.

sometime between 6pm on Saturday night and 12pm on Sunday. Police are

:05:48.:05:54.

treating it as a hate crime. Local MEPs have given starkly

:05:55.:05:57.

different verdict on the results of last week's referendum. They were

:05:58.:06:01.

speaking at a special session of the European Parliament.

:06:02.:06:04.

Many of the key players in the Brexit drama were in Brussels today.

:06:05.:06:11.

The Prime Minister at the European Commission president and Nigel

:06:12.:06:15.

Farage, the man who led the crusade against the EU, he was heckled by

:06:16.:06:19.

some I rate GPs but got support from the DUP. I do accept that emotions

:06:20.:06:27.

are running high this morning but at times it has reinforced all the

:06:28.:06:32.

stereotypes that the British people fear about Europe, and which they

:06:33.:06:38.

voted against on the 23rd of June. Threats, bullying and hectoring will

:06:39.:06:42.

not work with the British people. What we need to do now is access to

:06:43.:06:48.

the result of the referendum and build a relationship that is

:06:49.:06:52.

mutually beneficial to all our people. An SNP MEP earned a standing

:06:53.:06:58.

ovation when he declared that the people of Scotland had not let your

:06:59.:07:03.

down. There was a similarly warm reception to Sinn Fein's assertion

:07:04.:07:08.

that they did not feel bound by the UK decision. We stand by the vote of

:07:09.:07:13.

the people of the north of Ireland, just like Scotland, which voted to

:07:14.:07:28.

remain. We accept and we respect... We access, we respect, and we will

:07:29.:07:32.

defend the wishes of the people of the north of Ireland. However, if

:07:33.:07:38.

English folks drag us out of the EU, that would be like Britannia waives

:07:39.:07:46.

the rules. In Brussels the stark differences between the two main

:07:47.:07:50.

parties in the power-sharing executive were clear for all to see.

:07:51.:07:53.

A sign of the task facing store modern ministers when they meet

:07:54.:07:57.

tomorrow to try and found some common ground in the wake of the

:07:58.:08:06.

referendum. Parents of students in Belfast have

:08:07.:08:09.

held a protest on the last day of the term. There have been ongoing

:08:10.:08:12.

industrial problems at the school and some parents say they are also

:08:13.:08:17.

concerned about how a safeguarding matter was handled. It centres on an

:08:18.:08:21.

allegation of inappropriate conduct by April -- priest when discussing

:08:22.:08:25.

matters of the sexual nature with a pupil. In a statement the diocese

:08:26.:08:27.

said... It says the diocese was advised that

:08:28.:08:47.

they had been investigated. A statement says that no further

:08:48.:08:48.

action was recommended. The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh have

:08:49.:08:58.

left Northern Ireland after a day of engagements on the coast.

:08:59.:09:09.

Some visitors could not believe what they were witnessing today.

:09:10.:09:12.

We didn't think we'd be able to come down here, and not be

:09:13.:09:15.

able to see the Giant's Causeway and not only did

:09:16.:09:18.

My kids are going to love this back in Australia.

:09:19.:09:22.

This is part of the tour and we had no idea she

:09:23.:09:25.

was going to be here until this morning.

:09:26.:09:28.

Next stop was Bushmills, where the Queen unveiled

:09:29.:09:35.

a bronze of World War I hero Robert Quigg.

:09:36.:09:38.

Her grandfather, George V, had presented him with a

:09:39.:09:40.

Victoria Cross for bravery during the Battle of the Somme.

:09:41.:09:47.

The members of his family it was a fitting tribute in the very week

:09:48.:09:52.

that battle began a century ago. It was almost like things

:09:53.:09:53.

coming full circle to have It was wonderful that the two

:09:54.:09:56.

of them came back here, to give the Royal seal of approval

:09:57.:09:59.

on the statue. The last engagement of the day began

:10:00.:10:12.

at Coleraine 's train station where people had been waiting for hours

:10:13.:10:16.

for a glimpse of the 90-year-old monarch.

:10:17.:10:25.

Wonderful, great for the families and the town and great for

:10:26.:10:29.

It was great for these guys to come and see her.

:10:30.:10:32.

The royal couple boarded a steam train for a trip that was a nod to

:10:33.:10:37.

the Queen's long reign. She last travelled on the slain in 1953, her

:10:38.:10:42.

Coronation year. It was the beginning of a lifelong journey on

:10:43.:10:48.

the throne. Sharing this journey with the Queen was local

:10:49.:10:50.

schoolchildren who said it was a day they would remember.

:10:51.:10:55.

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

:10:56.:10:59.

At Bellerin Queen opens new platforms and this is where a

:11:00.:11:15.

journey came an end, leaving behind memorable moments.

:11:16.:11:19.

And we'll have a special programme to mark The Queen's 90th birthday,

:11:20.:11:23.

where William Crawley looks back on her many visits to

:11:24.:11:26.

Northern Ireland over the last six decades.

:11:27.:11:29.

That's at 5.15pm this Sunday on BBC One.

:11:30.:11:31.

And we will also be broadcasting live from Thiepval in France to mark

:11:32.:11:35.

the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme with a special

:11:36.:11:38.

commemorative service at the Ulster Tower.

:11:39.:11:42.

Now for the weather forecast. The rain will continue in the next

:11:43.:12:01.

few days but at the main it is a largely dry one. It will be cooler

:12:02.:12:05.

when the sky clears and allows temperatures to dip into single

:12:06.:12:08.

figures. The cloud will return tomorrow morning eventually and

:12:09.:12:12.

bring outbreaks of rain. Through the day it will slowly improve. To begin

:12:13.:12:17.

with there may be sunshine at first in the north and east but the cloud

:12:18.:12:21.

thickens up and brings outbreaks of rain and by mid morning that rain

:12:22.:12:25.

could be heavy, especially in the north and parts of the West. It is a

:12:26.:12:30.

fairly wet start across Ireland and Wales and the south-west of England.

:12:31.:12:33.

Brighter elsewhere but the rain will push its way eastwards and affect

:12:34.:12:37.

much of England and in southern Scotland. A more improving picture

:12:38.:12:44.

across the North of Ireland in the afternoon with sunnier gaps coming

:12:45.:12:47.

through but it will take a while before it brightens up in Northern

:12:48.:12:53.

Ireland and we are likely to see scattered showers. Here the sunnier

:12:54.:12:57.

gaps will come in across the West later on. Keep the umbrella Han --

:12:58.:13:04.

handy as we get into Thursday. We expect more rain to come in from the

:13:05.:13:09.

West as we go through the day. Westerly winds. It could feel cooler

:13:10.:13:14.

when you factor in the wind and rain. On Friday and the weekend we

:13:15.:13:17.

always have some scattered showers in the forecast.
