A west Belfast community is gearing up for their now famous World Cup celebrations.

The St James' area is draped in the flags of competing nations at this summer's tournament, with hundreds of residents taking part.

Each household has decorated their home with the flag of the country they picked out during a live draw held last month, and on Saturday they’ll dress up as their chosen country as the whole community comes together for a street‑wide party.

A Belfast man has described his “traumatic and terrifying” experience of being detained by Israeli forces following his deportation back to Ireland.

Fra Hughes from Ardoyne was joined by dozens of activists from Ireland and hundreds from across the globe who were detained while on board vessels that were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, which was attempting to bring medicine and food to Gaza.

Hundreds of people gathered to welcome home the Irish detainees at Dublin Airport on Friday.

They were among hundreds of global flotilla participants detained when stopped by Israeli forces in international waters. More than a dozen reports have been made by detainees of sexual violence being perpetrated on them as well as over 30 recorded reports of people with broken ankles, dislocated shoulders and broken bones.

"The truth needs to be shown."

The husband of a man who died in hospital last month after receiving an “incompatible” blood transfusion has told the Irish News he wants an inquest into his loved one's death.

"If I don't do this, who is next?" he said.

Charlie Begley (55), from Belfast, died on January 23 at the Royal Victoria Hospital, around two months after he was given the wrong blood.

His husband David O’Prey (66) has shared a letter from the Trust, confirming the “never event” is being investigated.

Mr O'Prey is now demanding answers on how the transfusion happened and whether it shortened his husband’s life.
