There's more throughout the evening on the BBC News Channel.

:00:00.:00:00.

A parade by army veterans at Belfast City Hall

:00:00.:00:10.

and a Republican counter parade have passed off without incident.

:00:11.:00:14.

They came in their hundreds to City Hall -

:00:15.:00:24.

demonstrating against investigations into the Troubles related killings

:00:25.:00:29.

Many here served during the height of the Troubles.

:00:30.:00:36.

Across the road, a Republican counterprotest was halted in its

:00:37.:00:38.

tracks by police in line with the Parades Commission determination.

:00:39.:00:42.

Among the protesters were high-profile Republicans, including

:00:43.:00:45.

Because we fought for their right to protest!

:00:46.:00:58.

We fought for their freedom of speech.

:00:59.:01:02.

Separate from the parade were families of 11 people killed

:01:03.:01:05.

There has been a peaceful protest across the road which made a point.

:01:06.:01:17.

Our loved ones were murdered 46 years ago.

:01:18.:01:20.

We believe that those who break the law should face the law, be they

:01:21.:01:22.

soldiers, policemen, members of the public,

:01:23.:01:25.

If you break the law, you face the law.

:01:26.:01:30.

But what we feel is a disproportionate focus on

:01:31.:01:36.

killings carried out by the military during

:01:37.:01:38.

the Troubles than there is a

:01:39.:01:40.

disproportionate focus on killings carried out by the military during

:01:41.:01:43.

the Troubles down barriers against the terrorists.

:01:44.:01:45.

Despite some concerns, the rally and counterprotest passed off

:01:46.:01:47.

Over 1,000 police officers are taking legal action

:01:48.:01:52.

against the Chief Constable over holiday pay.

:01:53.:01:55.

The officers, who are being supported by the Police Federation,

:01:56.:01:58.

claim they're owed money going back almost 20 years.

:01:59.:02:01.

The action, if successful, could cost the service

:02:02.:02:04.

This case has revealed today by the BBC is

:02:05.:02:10.

about working overtime, like

:02:11.:02:12.

It follows a landmark ruling known as Bear Scotland when judges

:02:13.:02:21.

decided that employees regularly required to work extra hours should

:02:22.:02:24.

People will say that we are getting well paid for it.

:02:25.:02:30.

But you cannot buy back time, and that is one thing

:02:31.:02:33.

when you get longer into duty you realise.

:02:34.:02:36.

But in those days you had to do it, it was a requirement to do

:02:37.:02:40.

it to keep Northern Ireland literally in some sort of peace.

:02:41.:02:44.

Lawyers believe they could stretch back to 1998.

:02:45.:02:50.

Work and pay regulations were introduced into the

:02:51.:02:52.

The Deputy Chief Constable has issued a statement saying the case

:02:53.:02:58.

has come at a time when he has to manage to guess resources.

:02:59.:03:01.

Is this the potential amount of money

:03:02.:03:03.

involved would have a serious impact on policing here in Northern

:03:04.:03:06.

He also said he understood why PSNI officers are trying to find

:03:07.:03:11.

out what their overtime entitlements are.

:03:12.:03:15.

The case will be heard at the High Court after Easter.

:03:16.:03:18.

In England and Wales, the local police forces

:03:19.:03:21.

and Police Federation and there have already settled the issue.

:03:22.:03:28.

Pro-IRA graffiti, which appeared on a roundabout in Dungannon last

:03:29.:03:31.

week, has been replaced with fresh slogans that appear to show support

:03:32.:03:36.

A DUP councillor has condemned the act, but says he sympathises

:03:37.:03:41.

with the frustration of those involved.

:03:42.:03:50.

Pro IRA graffiti appeared on signage in this part of Dungannon last week

:03:51.:03:57.

but it is this roundabout that is attracting attention. The IRA

:03:58.:04:02.

graffiti that appeared some days ago has been painted over and replaced

:04:03.:04:09.

by messages that appear to show support for a mixed multicultural

:04:10.:04:12.

society here in Dungannon. But this has not been supported by everyone.

:04:13.:04:17.

I am from East Timor and I don't have the right in there but it

:04:18.:04:28.

means. Do you think it looks bad? Yeah, yeah, it looks bad. I don't

:04:29.:04:34.

see why they painted it on the roundabout. The thing that achieves

:04:35.:04:37.

very much? Never achieves anything, it helps them in no way. I would

:04:38.:04:44.

condemn them in what they have done because graffiti over the top of

:04:45.:04:47.

graffiti is not the answer but I can feel their frustration with the

:04:48.:04:52.

government agencies have failed to take any responsibility for this and

:04:53.:04:57.

remove it. It should have been wiped off straightaway. He says he has

:04:58.:05:02.

been in touch with transport and I said they will do with the graffiti

:05:03.:05:03.

after Easter. More than 100 relatives

:05:04.:05:05.

of passengers who were on board the Titanic gathered in Belfast

:05:06.:05:08.

today to mark the 105th anniversary It was organised by the great

:05:09.:05:13.

grandson of the man who was at the helm of the liner

:05:14.:05:17.

when it struck the iceberg. Relatives of passengers

:05:24.:05:27.

birth father in 2012 great-grandson of one

:05:33.:05:36.

of the quartermasters of the ship. It was a complete turnaround in my

:05:37.:05:41.

life, from collecting to suddenly being somebody who was

:05:42.:05:46.

connected with Titanic. He was one of six quartermasters

tomorrow at Belfast City Hall. The weather is next.

:06:28.:06:43.

The weather is doing a bit of a seesaw this eastern weekend. We had

:06:44.:06:48.

the rain earlier today. Tomorrow, a brighter day but breezy but a few

:06:49.:06:51.

showers. Then another batch of rain coming in tomorrow night before

:06:52.:06:55.

things improve again on eastern Monday. Things are drying up of many

:06:56.:07:01.

of us tonight. Any showers are largely confined towards the north.

:07:02.:07:06.

Inland, try the clear spells and it is cold with towns down to three

:07:07.:07:10.

degrees. In the countryside, it could be closer to freezing in a few

:07:11.:07:14.

spots which could lead to a touch of Frost Bridge tomorrow morning. It

:07:15.:07:18.

was a better day tomorrow. There will be a few showers initially,

:07:19.:07:24.

towards the north coast. It gets its way inland through the course of the

:07:25.:07:27.

morning. Many parts of the country tomorrow in this same error stream,

:07:28.:07:31.

there will be plenty of showers packing in across northern and

:07:32.:07:35.

western parts of Scotland on a brisk breeze. Fewer showers the further

:07:36.:07:40.

south and east you go. Temperatures in the South into the mid-teens. It

:07:41.:07:45.

is a cool feeling day from Northern Ireland although the show is a

:07:46.:07:48.

typical way and we do get some sunshine coming through during the

:07:49.:07:51.

afternoon. That breeze coming in from the north-west and make it feel

:07:52.:07:54.

quite chilly with highs of around 10 degrees. But I might, cloud

:07:55.:07:59.

increases to bring some wet weather. It means a jump-start on eastern

:08:00.:08:03.

Sunday but it should improve and brighten up from the north later on

:08:04.:08:08.

in the day. Eastern Monday and Tuesday, mainly dry and bright with

:08:09.:08:10.

some sunshine. The nights and mornings are cold with a touch of
