> The UK’s Northern Ireland minister said Monday that renewed discussions had failed to settle a dispute over a pro-British Protestant parade, in one of the region’s worst crises in decades. Thousands occupied a road in Portadown, southwest of Belfast, on Sunday to stop 35 Orange Order members from marching through a mainly Catholic area.
