> A Northern Ireland court has allowed the Protestant Orange Order to march through a mainly Catholic part of Portadown for the first time in almost 30 years, reviving memories of tensions and violence linked to Drumcree marches during the Troubles. The event is limited to 35 participants and one banner, but hundreds of Catholic residents are protesting, posing a major challenge for police clearing the route.
