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.
