Around 200 people have taken part in a protest in north Belfast ahead | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
of an Orange parade tomorrow morning. | :00:13. | :00:13. | |
It was organised by the Greater Ardoyne Residents | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
It opposes an agreement struck last week aimed at resolving the long | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
The protest by GARC was short but the message was clear. No one will | :00:22. | :00:42. | |
deny us the right to oppose it. This group doesn't act said the deal that | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
would see an Orange parade passed by the shops tomorrow morning. The | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
agreement was brokered between another resident's group. It | :00:52. | :01:02. | |
involves a voluntary moratorium on future parades but GARC says it will | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
protest as long as there are any Orange parades in the area. I think | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
it is very appropriate that people were willing to March this evening | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
and in a peaceful, radical fashion. We have seen no violets here. A | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
short distance away in Portal Avenue, loyalist protest took place. | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
It has happened almost nightly. There has been a large security | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
operation in place here this evening but of course policing this loyalist | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
protest over the last three years has cost ?21 million. It is hoped | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
after tomorrow morning that this policing operation will no longer be | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
needed. The Orange parade is due to take place at 8:30am tomorrow | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
morning. GARC will hold another protest then but a permanent | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
loyalist protest on this interface may soon be over. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
An illegal Romanian gangmaster known to the people he exploited only | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
as the Minister will find out next week if he's going to jail. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
Ioan Lacatus kept his victims in appalling conditions | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Our reporter Gordon Adair was at Craigavon court. | :02:12. | :02:22. | |
Ioan Lacatus arrived in Northern Ireland seven years ago, | :02:23. | :02:24. | |
with a string of convictions totted up in France and Italy. | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
When he set himself up as a gangmaster and began | :02:28. | :02:35. | |
trafficking people into the UK, the problems really began. | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
He squeezed 15 Romanian workers into this three-bed in Portadown. | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
They shared one shower and one toilet, most of their wages went | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
into bank accounts set up by Lacatus and his wife. | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
They were told not to speak to other workers in the towns and factories | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
They work given very little to eat and what they will did get was cold. | :02:59. | :03:14. | |
Most of the Romanians came from a remote part of the country, | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
Eventually, four of them got up the courage to run away from | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
the house and presented themselves at Portadown police station. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
An investigation saw a further 11 people rescued. | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
Lacatus was arrested, along with his wife. | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
His brother-in-law was also arrested. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
They face charges of human trafficking and were due | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
Sentencing was, however, deferred and will occur next week. | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
The Prime Minister Theresa May appears to have rowed-back | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
on what she said before the EU referendum about border | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
During a visit here in June, she said a Leave vote would end | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Now in her first interview about Northern Ireland | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
as Prime Minister, she says she does not want a return | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Mrs May spoke to our political correspondent Stephen Walker. | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Back in June, as Home Secretary, Theresa May was campaigning | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
for the UK to stay in the European Union. | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
On a visit to Bangor, she said it was inconceivable to suggest that | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Brexit wouldn't have an impact on the border. | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
If you think about it, if we're out of the European Union | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
with tariffs on exporting goods into the EU, there would have to be | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
something to recognise that between Northern Ireland | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
And if you pulled out of the EU and came out of free movement, | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
how could you have a situation where there was an open border | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
with a country that was in the EU and had access to free movement? | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
So now Theresa May is in the hot seat in Downing Street, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
What we are very clear about is with the situation | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
in Northern Ireland is that we don't want to see a return | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
We will work closely together to make sure that we can... | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
May I remind you, you campaigned in Northern Ireland to Remain. | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
You said a Leave vote would cause a return to border controls. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
What I said was if we vote Leave, and there was a land | :05:09. | :05:19. | |
border with a country in the European Union, | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
that would change that relationship to | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
I think "inconceivable" is the word you used. | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
There would have to be some kind of change? | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Of course, there will be a land border with a country | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
But what all parties are very clear about is the intent and we will | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
ensure we have an arrangement that isn't a return | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
We're discussing with the Irish government at the moment | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
One of Theresa May's first actions as Prime Minister was a visit | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
to Belfast, and she pledged to make sure we remain | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
We need to grasp the opportunities around the world. | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
The devolved administrations will be fully engaged | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
The United Kingdom will be negotiating with the European Union. | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
What I want to ensure is that we hear the voices | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
when we're preparing for those negotiations. | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
Brexit has changed the political landscape since the referendum, | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
and will dominate the Conservative Party conference, | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
At golf's Ryder Cup, Europe have staged an impressive comeback this | :06:37. | :06:47. | |
Rory McIlroy, Hazel Tyne Jordan Speith, | :06:48. | :06:57. | |
After Europe's nightmare start this morning where they lost all matches, | :06:58. | :07:12. | |
a red wash, they called it, as the USA took a commanding lead, it has | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
been much better for Europe this afternoon. A real battering -- | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
battling performance. Rory McIlroy has been in tremendous form, playing | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
alongside Thomas Pieters. He lost his morning match to Rickie Fowler | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
and met -- Phil Mickelson, albeit weighing very well, but he is making | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
amends in the best possible way. He has made some tremendous tops. He is | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
currently three up with seven holes to play, seemingly cruising to a | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
win. Europe are up in two other games. Down in one. Play could | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
finish today 5-3 to the hosts, and after that very disappointing start | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
this morning, the captain Darren Clarke will be a much happier man | :08:08. | :08:08. | |
indeed. Onto the weekend weather outlook | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
now, with Geoff Maskell. It hasn't been a bad day today. | :08:12. | :08:20. | |
There were a few showers around but they will become fewer and further | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
between. Temperatures dipping down to six or 7 degrees. Their wrists | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
the chance of missed by Dawn tomorrow morning. It sets us up for | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
a nice day. Largely dry and bright. A few showers around the coast but | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
other than that, plenty of dry weather. Temperatures of 13 or 14 | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
degrees as we go through the day. A much better day for Northern Ireland | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
than it is for other parts of Britain. A swirl of showers through | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Central parts of England and Wales but it gets better the further north | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
you go. For us in Northern Ireland, as we go into Sunday, it is going to | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
be a cold night because of the clear skies. Again, the chance mist on | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Sunday but once that Burns back, another very nice day. Dry and | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
bright just about everywhere. The temperature is a little on the cool | :09:22. | :09:28. | |
slide. Come the start of next week, this weather front gives us cause | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
for some concern, it is very slow moving so will bring rain. It looks | :09:32. | :09:38. | |
as if it will stay off shore for most of the daylight hours on Monday | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
so hopefully it won't be until Monday night or the early hours of | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Tuesday that it moves through. That's it from us until | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
5.20pm tomorrow evening. In the meantime, you can keep up | :09:50. | :09:51. | |
to date from Radio Ulster From all of us here | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
on the programme, goodnight, and have | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
a great weekend. | :09:58. | :09:59. |
