:00:09. > :00:12.Around 200 people have taken part in a protest in north Belfast ahead

:00:13. > :00:13.of an Orange parade tomorrow morning.

:00:14. > :00:16.It was organised by the Greater Ardoyne Residents

:00:17. > :00:21.It opposes an agreement struck last week aimed at resolving the long

:00:22. > :00:42.The protest by GARC was short but the message was clear. No one will

:00:43. > :00:47.deny us the right to oppose it. This group doesn't act said the deal that

:00:48. > :00:51.would see an Orange parade passed by the shops tomorrow morning. The

:00:52. > :01:02.agreement was brokered between another resident's group. It

:01:03. > :01:06.involves a voluntary moratorium on future parades but GARC says it will

:01:07. > :01:11.protest as long as there are any Orange parades in the area. I think

:01:12. > :01:16.it is very appropriate that people were willing to March this evening

:01:17. > :01:23.and in a peaceful, radical fashion. We have seen no violets here. A

:01:24. > :01:30.short distance away in Portal Avenue, loyalist protest took place.

:01:31. > :01:33.It has happened almost nightly. There has been a large security

:01:34. > :01:39.operation in place here this evening but of course policing this loyalist

:01:40. > :01:44.protest over the last three years has cost ?21 million. It is hoped

:01:45. > :01:50.after tomorrow morning that this policing operation will no longer be

:01:51. > :01:56.needed. The Orange parade is due to take place at 8:30am tomorrow

:01:57. > :01:59.morning. GARC will hold another protest then but a permanent

:02:00. > :02:03.loyalist protest on this interface may soon be over.

:02:04. > :02:06.An illegal Romanian gangmaster known to the people he exploited only

:02:07. > :02:09.as the Minister will find out next week if he's going to jail.

:02:10. > :02:11.Ioan Lacatus kept his victims in appalling conditions

:02:12. > :02:22.Our reporter Gordon Adair was at Craigavon court.

:02:23. > :02:24.Ioan Lacatus arrived in Northern Ireland seven years ago,

:02:25. > :02:27.with a string of convictions totted up in France and Italy.

:02:28. > :02:35.When he set himself up as a gangmaster and began

:02:36. > :02:39.trafficking people into the UK, the problems really began.

:02:40. > :02:42.He squeezed 15 Romanian workers into this three-bed in Portadown.

:02:43. > :02:49.They shared one shower and one toilet, most of their wages went

:02:50. > :02:53.into bank accounts set up by Lacatus and his wife.

:02:54. > :02:58.They were told not to speak to other workers in the towns and factories

:02:59. > :03:14.They work given very little to eat and what they will did get was cold.

:03:15. > :03:17.Most of the Romanians came from a remote part of the country,

:03:18. > :03:21.Eventually, four of them got up the courage to run away from

:03:22. > :03:23.the house and presented themselves at Portadown police station.

:03:24. > :03:25.An investigation saw a further 11 people rescued.

:03:26. > :03:29.Lacatus was arrested, along with his wife.

:03:30. > :03:33.His brother-in-law was also arrested.

:03:34. > :03:35.They face charges of human trafficking and were due

:03:36. > :03:42.Sentencing was, however, deferred and will occur next week.

:03:43. > :03:45.The Prime Minister Theresa May appears to have rowed-back

:03:46. > :03:48.on what she said before the EU referendum about border

:03:49. > :03:52.During a visit here in June, she said a Leave vote would end

:03:53. > :03:56.Now in her first interview about Northern Ireland

:03:57. > :03:59.as Prime Minister, she says she does not want a return

:04:00. > :04:05.Mrs May spoke to our political correspondent Stephen Walker.

:04:06. > :04:08.Back in June, as Home Secretary, Theresa May was campaigning

:04:09. > :04:11.for the UK to stay in the European Union.

:04:12. > :04:15.On a visit to Bangor, she said it was inconceivable to suggest that

:04:16. > :04:18.Brexit wouldn't have an impact on the border.

:04:19. > :04:22.If you think about it, if we're out of the European Union

:04:23. > :04:25.with tariffs on exporting goods into the EU, there would have to be

:04:26. > :04:29.something to recognise that between Northern Ireland

:04:30. > :04:35.And if you pulled out of the EU and came out of free movement,

:04:36. > :04:38.how could you have a situation where there was an open border

:04:39. > :04:41.with a country that was in the EU and had access to free movement?

:04:42. > :04:44.So now Theresa May is in the hot seat in Downing Street,

:04:45. > :04:50.What we are very clear about is with the situation

:04:51. > :04:55.in Northern Ireland is that we don't want to see a return

:04:56. > :05:01.We will work closely together to make sure that we can...

:05:02. > :05:04.May I remind you, you campaigned in Northern Ireland to Remain.

:05:05. > :05:08.You said a Leave vote would cause a return to border controls.

:05:09. > :05:19.What I said was if we vote Leave, and there was a land

:05:20. > :05:23.border with a country in the European Union,

:05:24. > :05:25.that would change that relationship to

:05:26. > :05:29.I think "inconceivable" is the word you used.

:05:30. > :05:32.There would have to be some kind of change?

:05:33. > :05:36.Of course, there will be a land border with a country

:05:37. > :05:41.But what all parties are very clear about is the intent and we will

:05:42. > :05:46.ensure we have an arrangement that isn't a return

:05:47. > :05:55.We're discussing with the Irish government at the moment

:05:56. > :05:58.One of Theresa May's first actions as Prime Minister was a visit

:05:59. > :06:00.to Belfast, and she pledged to make sure we remain

:06:01. > :06:08.We need to grasp the opportunities around the world.

:06:09. > :06:11.The devolved administrations will be fully engaged

:06:12. > :06:21.The United Kingdom will be negotiating with the European Union.

:06:22. > :06:25.What I want to ensure is that we hear the voices

:06:26. > :06:31.when we're preparing for those negotiations.

:06:32. > :06:33.Brexit has changed the political landscape since the referendum,

:06:34. > :06:36.and will dominate the Conservative Party conference,

:06:37. > :06:47.At golf's Ryder Cup, Europe have staged an impressive comeback this

:06:48. > :06:57.Rory McIlroy, Hazel Tyne Jordan Speith,

:06:58. > :07:12.After Europe's nightmare start this morning where they lost all matches,

:07:13. > :07:16.a red wash, they called it, as the USA took a commanding lead, it has

:07:17. > :07:23.been much better for Europe this afternoon. A real battering --

:07:24. > :07:28.battling performance. Rory McIlroy has been in tremendous form, playing

:07:29. > :07:35.alongside Thomas Pieters. He lost his morning match to Rickie Fowler

:07:36. > :07:43.and met -- Phil Mickelson, albeit weighing very well, but he is making

:07:44. > :07:49.amends in the best possible way. He has made some tremendous tops. He is

:07:50. > :07:55.currently three up with seven holes to play, seemingly cruising to a

:07:56. > :08:01.win. Europe are up in two other games. Down in one. Play could

:08:02. > :08:07.finish today 5-3 to the hosts, and after that very disappointing start

:08:08. > :08:08.this morning, the captain Darren Clarke will be a much happier man

:08:09. > :08:11.indeed. Onto the weekend weather outlook

:08:12. > :08:20.now, with Geoff Maskell. It hasn't been a bad day today.

:08:21. > :08:25.There were a few showers around but they will become fewer and further

:08:26. > :08:31.between. Temperatures dipping down to six or 7 degrees. Their wrists

:08:32. > :08:38.the chance of missed by Dawn tomorrow morning. It sets us up for

:08:39. > :08:46.a nice day. Largely dry and bright. A few showers around the coast but

:08:47. > :08:51.other than that, plenty of dry weather. Temperatures of 13 or 14

:08:52. > :08:55.degrees as we go through the day. A much better day for Northern Ireland

:08:56. > :09:00.than it is for other parts of Britain. A swirl of showers through

:09:01. > :09:05.Central parts of England and Wales but it gets better the further north

:09:06. > :09:10.you go. For us in Northern Ireland, as we go into Sunday, it is going to

:09:11. > :09:15.be a cold night because of the clear skies. Again, the chance mist on

:09:16. > :09:21.Sunday but once that Burns back, another very nice day. Dry and

:09:22. > :09:28.bright just about everywhere. The temperature is a little on the cool

:09:29. > :09:31.slide. Come the start of next week, this weather front gives us cause

:09:32. > :09:38.for some concern, it is very slow moving so will bring rain. It looks

:09:39. > :09:42.as if it will stay off shore for most of the daylight hours on Monday

:09:43. > :09:44.so hopefully it won't be until Monday night or the early hours of

:09:45. > :09:49.Tuesday that it moves through. That's it from us until

:09:50. > :09:51.5.20pm tomorrow evening. In the meantime, you can keep up

:09:52. > :09:54.to date from Radio Ulster From all of us here

:09:55. > :09:57.on the programme, goodnight, and have

:09:58. > :09:59.a great weekend.
