Hundreds of protesters gathered on the Newtownards Road in east Belfast where a bus was hijacked and set alight, stoking racial tensions after a horrific attack on a man in his 40s on Monday night.


The government needs to start preparing to relocate communities away from areas where repeat flooding or coastal erosion can’t be stopped, according to the Climate Change Advisory Council.


And the village of Aughagower in Co. Mayo is preparing for the visit of Canadian prime minister - and grandson of Irish emigrants - Mark Carney this weekend. His second cousin Rosaleen Heraty will meet him for the first time.
