Bonfires
A row has erupted over a licensing scheme for bonfires in Mid Ulster.
Last night the council there voted through a new policy which means bonfire builders will have to get a permit to build a bonfire on council land.
Organisers will have to ensure that "no hazardous or toxic materials are collected, stored or burned" and that no flags, emblems or effigies are burnt on the bonfire.
The move - backed by Sinn Fein and the SDLP - brought a furious reaction from unionists.
Royal Visit
There will be a Royal Visit to Northern Ireland. Prince Harry and his future wife Megan Markle have just arrived. 成人快手 Reporter Sara Girvan is there on the scene.
