:01:05. > :01:08.collapsed last month after one of three Orange lodges in North Belfast
:01:09. > :01:11.involved in the dispute said it wouldn't back it. Some members of
:01:12. > :01:18.that large made their opposition clear when they marched to police
:01:19. > :01:22.lines on the 12th of this year. They expected the other Lodges to arrive,
:01:23. > :01:27.but they did not show up. When the two other Lodges failed to turn up
:01:28. > :01:31.at this point on the Woodvale Road, the other Lodges insisted it was
:01:32. > :01:36.simply because they had run out of time, but it was clear that was not
:01:37. > :01:39.an accident. In each of the previous three years, the three Lodges have
:01:40. > :01:44.been given special permission to march together, despite being
:01:45. > :01:47.members of different Orange districts. That alliance was broken
:01:48. > :01:52.this year when the two Lodges backing the proposed deal asked to
:01:53. > :01:58.walk with their own districts in the main Belfast parade. The result was
:01:59. > :02:02.that the first launch was left looking isolated and with little
:02:03. > :02:07.support. A faction supported the decision by the first Orange Lodge
:02:08. > :02:10.to oppose the proposed deal and keep this protest going. But the events
:02:11. > :02:16.of the 12th of July demonstrated that they are in a minority. The BBC
:02:17. > :02:22.has established that a group representing the leadership of the
:02:23. > :02:26.UDA as well as the UVF has endorsed the parade's agreement. The
:02:27. > :02:32.communities Council has not taken part in the talks but has backed the
:02:33. > :02:36.deal. It was made clear during a Orange Order parade in the Ardoyne
:02:37. > :02:42.area that it remains committed to detox. Another nationalist group has
:02:43. > :02:49.made it clear it will oppose any move to allow the band parade to
:02:50. > :02:52.complete its route. Talks aimed at resurrecting the parade deal are
:02:53. > :02:56.expected to resume within a matter of weeks. Despite the opposition on
:02:57. > :03:01.both sides, those involved I said to be hopeful agreement can be reached.

:12:04. > :12:05.Atlantic and the next one on the conveyor belt will deliver quite
:12:06. > :12:10.significant amounts of rainfall overnight tonight. We could see 20
:12:11. > :12:15.millimetres at times as this band of rain will slowly south and east.
:12:16. > :12:18.Behind it, we have clear, cooler air. Temperatures in rural areas
:12:19. > :12:24.stepping down into single figures, but it does set us up for a brighter
:12:25. > :12:27.day tomorrow. And we are doing pretty well, actually. Most of the
:12:28. > :12:30.show was staged to the north of us or below as to the south. For
:12:31. > :12:36.Northern Ireland, it will shape up to be quite a decent day. We will
:12:37. > :12:44.have lighter air and the sunshine will make things feel pleasant.
:12:45. > :12:48.17-18dC. So actually, really not too bad at all. But make the most of the
:12:49. > :12:52.daytime because as we get into the evening period, we have got more
:12:53. > :12:56.brain arriving as the next Atlantic system works its way in. It is going
:12:57. > :13:01.to put up on the south-west as we get into the late evening and
:13:02. > :13:05.overnight period, spreading into all parts, that is the signal for a very
:13:06. > :13:08.different day to come on Thursday. We will be waking up on Thursday
:13:09. > :13:12.morning to some quite significant amounts of rain. It will gradually
:13:13. > :13:16.clear out of the way later on in the day, but a pretty dull and
:13:17. > :13:19.uninspired sort of a day. Once we get to the end of the week, I
