The Orange lodge at the centre of the long-running Twaddell Avenue | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
parading dispute in North Belfast has said it's to suspend its protest | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
In a statement, the Ballysillan lodge criticised some of the groups | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
involved in recent attempts to resolve the stand-off and said it | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
will continue to apply for an evening parade past | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
But it went on to say they had been left with no choice | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
It's not clear from the statement if this means they will dismantle | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
the camp, which has been at the site since 2013. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The police are tonight examining a haul of guns, | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
home-made explosives and munitions found during searches near Lurgan. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
They've described the find as significant and believe it | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
Our home affairs correspondent Vincent Kearney reports. | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
The grounds of a former convent where the scene of a major security | :00:54. | :00:56. | |

Specialist teams look through hedges on the outskirts of Lurgan. | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
The rail line here was closed for a number of hours | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
because of what the police described as a significant operation. | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
How significant became clear this afternoon when police displayed | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
What we have in total are parts of home-made explosives. | :01:19. | :01:30. | |
We have improvised launchers and a number of pipe bombs. | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
We have three firearms and a variety of ammunition. | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
These items were in the advanced state of readiness and some | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
As the police press conference was taking place, | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
other items were being recovered from the scene. | :01:48. | :01:49. | |
In the course of the investigation today, further searches in that | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
As well as what you have seen here today, there are other items, | :01:53. | :02:08. | |
The police later released other images. | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
A pipe bomb, a semi-automatic shotgun... | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
They are believed to belong to the New IRA, which is known | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
The police say that this new find has saved lives and dealt a blow | :02:24. | :02:34. | |

The 39th person to die on our roads this year was killed here outside | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
The impact of the collision was clear to see. | :03:07. | :03:19. | |
It is a fast bit of road and with the speed and the coach | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
involved, it was a very serious accident. | :03:24. | :03:24. | |
We treated three people at the scene and two were taken on to hospital | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
for further treatment, one was released. | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
The fourth person was trapped in the car and unfortunately that | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
Investigation teams arrived to try and work out what happened. | :03:33. | :03:42. | |
The main Belfast to Dublin road stayed closed in both directions | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
for hours after the crash, with traffic diverted. | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
Drivers could not avoid long tailbacks. | :03:48. | :03:56. | |
Eight hours earlier and less than 30 miles away, another death. | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
The police said his motorbike crashed into a roundabout. | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
The number of road deaths is down slightly on the last two years. | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
But two more families have been left devastated. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
The number of people in Northern Ireland applying | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
for Irish passports in July was more than 60% higher than | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
The figures released today by the Irish Foreign Ministry show | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
that in 2015 there were just over 4,000 applications, | :04:30. | :04:31. | |
but this year that was up to over 6,600 - a rise of 63%. | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
There was an even larger increase in the numbers applying from Britain | :04:35. | :04:37. | |

Our economics and business editor John Campbell reports. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
They have had brushes with the law and regulators. | :05:06. | :05:17. | |
In Belfast, they have had a flavour of that. | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
It is all about how taxis are regulated. | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
A recent change in the law means that all taxis will have to install | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
It wants drivers to use a Class C licence. | :05:29. | :05:46. | |
Those vehicles do not use a meter or have a roof sign. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Crucially, the law does not stop taxis using those licenses. | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
The minister says that is a loophole, and one | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
If they are not happy with that, they will have to look elsewhere. | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
We are going to have a taxi system here that is fair and | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
Established players in the industry take a similar view. | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
Public safety is a very big thing because people are used to taxis | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Uber seems startled by what is being proposed. | :06:19. | :06:24. | |

The opening ceremony at the Rio Olympics is now imminent, | :06:47. | :06:56. | |
and Team GB and Team Ireland are getting ready for their big | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
It's a proud night in particular for one boxer from Belfast. | :07:00. | :07:07. | |
It is. Paddy Barnes will carry the flag for Tremarle and at the opening | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
ceremony. It is a deserved honour for him at his third Olympic Games. | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
Array called for any Irish fighter. He is a double the bronze medallist. | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
He told me it is a very special evening for him and his family. | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
Before the opening ceremony gets under way, the first Northern | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
Ireland athlete has already been an action. A natural 2-part and the | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
men's qualification and finished 13th. What local athletes are in | :07:36. | :07:46. | |
action? Fittingly, Alan Campbell, the raw, is first in action. As for | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Fulham begins, record for any Northern Ireland Olympian. In | :07:52. | :08:00. | |
dressage, Clare Abbott, from Hillsborough, is in action. For | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
hockey players are in action. The first time an Irish hockey team has | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
been in action for over a century. We will keep you up-to-date with all | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
the progress on BBC Newsline. Sunny in Rio, but | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
what can we expect? Apart from a few showers, it has not | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
been a bad end to the week. Mainly light winds but that will change | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
back to this low-pressure dishing up towards the north-west. The ice | :08:30. | :08:40. | |
buyers -- isobars are tightly. There will be dry spells around and | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
interpreters will be quite reasonable. The wind is still quite | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
like tonight. A lot of dry weather. In terms, ten and 11 Celsius likely | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
to dip into single figures in parts of the countryside. Tomorrow, a fair | :08:55. | :09:01. | |
amount of dry weather around. Winds are the main feature. They will pick | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
up later than the day. Light to begin with. Quite a pleasant morning | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
with dry weather and sunshine and maybe the odd pocket of drizzle in | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
North West. We have wetter weather moving towards the north and | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
north-west of Scotland, into western parts as well, along with | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
strengthening winds. For much of the Republic of Ireland and the rest of | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Britain, dry weather and warm sunshine. Temperatures low optimism | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
20s. Towards the West, this is where the winds pick up. Those winds, from | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
the South. Here, the temperatures will be quite decent widely, getting | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
up to 20 or 21 Celsius, even though the wind will start to pick up. The | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
cloud thickens as well. Rain moves in tomorrow evening. Gale force | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
winds attempt was enough. Wendy on Sunday. Maybe try later in the day. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
After that pressure into the next week. -- fresher. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
