Extra police are brought into Belfast and public transport is closing early, after a night of violence.
The violence erupted after a knife attack in the city on Monday. The suspect has appeared in court charged with attempted murder, threatening to kill an NHS radiographer, and possession of a knife. Hadi Alodid, 30, was remanded in custody for four weeks and is due to re-appear in court via video-link in July.
The family of Stephen Ogilvy, the victim in Monday night’s knife attack in Belfast, say “unrest is not welcome, and peaceful protest is the only way forward”. Meanwhile the Chief Constable of the PSNI has sworn to prosecute those involved in spreading misinformation online.
Adam and Chris are joined Ciarán Dunbar, BelTel podcast presenter, to discuss.

Big Ben is now 163 years old
And it was built on Tuesday 31st May 1859.

I don't really know about anyone else but for myself, the new colour scheme on the clockface is going to take quite a bit of getting used to with the gold and the Prussian blue paint.
I am aware of the reasons why it was painted like this as it's how it was originally but it's the first time in my own lifetime that I have saw it painted in these colours as opposed to how it was before restoration work began last decade.
I know that it's a form of Blue paint called Prussian Blue but it does look like a form of Purple at first glance.
Still, a nice change if a bit weird.🥴

Can we know why the visit of BigBen is forbidden to foreign tourists ?
Is it related to terrorist risks or other reasons ?

1:36 Can we stop this annoying visual cliche of starting a shot all blurry and coming into focus? Just start the shot in focus. Waiting for it to come in to focus is like the internet of 20 years ago and waiting for a photo to download and slowly get clearer, its dumb

Imagine travelling to London in the old days through pokey little villages and over rolling hills, having never seen anything higher than a few stories and then you get to the capital city and see that beautiful clocktower, would be a sight to behold
