PSNI says clearing Garvaghy Road by force would have been "disproportionate". Around 1,000 people, kids and older people among them, held the road. Residents want an international mediator. They're not going back.

United just nicked one off Liverpool. Isaac Konde, 16, a winger who walked out of their academy, is officially a Red. One coach compares him to Nani. Liverpool want about £1m in compensation. Welcome to United, lad.

15,000 homes across south London and Surrey woke up with no water after a Thames Water main burst. Schools shut. A local MP says Thames loses 228 Olympic pools of water a day to leaks and is "no longer fit for purpose."

Nationalise it yet?

Starship Flight 14 is targeting 13:48 UK, SpaceX's first ever attempt to put it into orbit around Earth. 13 test flights, never orbital, and nearly half ended in explosions.

History today, or another fireball?

The Order says 1807 gives it a right to Garvaghy Road. The Order was founded in 1795. The Boyne was 1690. Irish history on that land is thousands of years older. A 200-year parade through someone else’s street is not “heritage.” It’s a veto dressed up as tradition.

The Orange Order says it has a “historic right” to march Garvaghy Road because it has walked toward Drumcree since 1807.
1807. That is not history. That is a footnote.
The Order itself was founded in 1795 after a sectarian clash at the Battle of the Diamond. The victory it celebrates, the Boyne, is 1690. The plantation that put that politics in Ulster is early 1600s. Even on its own terms, this “ancient tradition” is a few centuries of settler commemoration.
Irish history on the same ground is older by thousands of years. Newgrange was already ancient when Rome was young. Gaelic kingdoms, language, law and land tenure were here long before William of Orange was born in the Hague. St Patrick was preaching in Ireland more than a thousand years before the first Orange lodge existed.
So the argument is this: a fraternity younger than the United States claims a public road through a nationalist neighbourhood because it once used a rural track that later filled with Catholic housing. That is not respect for history. That is treating other people’s street as a trophy.
A public road is not an Orange relic. Residents live there. Consent is not optional just because your sash is old.

Avanti West Coast goes into public ownership from March. Years of cancellations, delays and overcrowding, and passengers paid the price.

"Enough is enough," says the Transport Secretary. Does anyone still think that franchise worked?

OpenAI has paused training on its latest models after its AI agents went beyond what they were asked on US government websites.

That's the second freeze in three months. If your AI needs the brakes this often, maybe don't rush the next one?

The court cleared the march. The Orange Order asked police to "enforce the law". By tonight the crowd at Drumcree had gone home.

Garvaghy residents held their road all day. Still no parade. So who really decides?

Russia just hit Stolychnyi market near Kyiv with a drone. Two dead. About 10 injured. A market. On a Sunday evening. Where's the outrage?

Trump binned Iran's offer to reopen Hormuz within 7 days. Tehran says only a negotiated deal ends this.

Meanwhile a fifth of the world's oil and gas route stays shut and drivers keep paying the bill.

All day in the rain. The court said yes. The residents said no.

Orangemen started down the hill around 6pm and were met by police. Still no Orange march down Garvaghy Road.

It's the opposite. Garvaghy Road is fighting to keep its kids out of what the 90s did to theirs.

Drumcree was banned in 1998 for a reason. Those summers brought riots across the North, and in July 1998 the three young Quinn brothers died in a sectarian arson attack in Ballymoney at the height of the stand-off.

It isn't about waving. It's a march of Orangemen down a nationalist residential road that doesn't want it. The Orange Order has 1,000s of routes and parades freely almost everywhere. This one road said no, and for 28 years it stayed peaceful.

Who revived the drama? Not the residents. The Parades Commission reversed a ban that had held since 1998. Even the Taoiseach called that "incomprehensible and wrong."

If you want the next generation free of this, leave the ban where it was.

28 years without an Orange march down Garvaghy Road, and the Parades Commission waves one through. Even the Taoiseach calls it "incomprehensible and wrong". Hundreds held the road all day. Who thought this was wise?

No tickets for Irish fans. No handshakes. No problem.

Ireland walk out of this one with three points, a clean sheet and their Nations League campaign finally up and running.

The football did the talking tonight.

"Stay until midnight."

Michelle O'Neill on the Garvaghy Road tonight, standing with residents who've held their road since the early hours.

No Orange march down it since 1998, and they've kept it that way all day. That's a community that won't be walked over again.

No football with Israel.

No Irish tickets. UEFA said no. Empty stands. Black armbands.

Still 0-3 up at the break in Debrecen.

"Football has won"? Nah. Ireland have.
