Apprentice Boys Blame Nationalists Over Attacks
The Apprentice Boys loyal order has blamed nationalists for attacks on their L’Derry headquarters.
Three attacks in as many days have been carried out at the memorial hall in Society Street.
They say the attacks started over the Remembrance weekend.
Apprentice Boys governor Jim Brownlee has said the attacks are damaging the city.
He said paint bombs were thrown from the Bogside area of the city, and so it could be assumed nationalists were responsible.
The attacks follow claims from the Carrick Hill residents in north Belfast that Apprentice Boys had defied Parades Commission rulings and played an anti-Catholic song outside a Catholic church on Remembrance Sunday.
IT Student Charged Over Graphic Images
A 23-year-old IT student at the University of Ulster’s Magee Campus has pleaded guilty to possessing indecent images of children.
Brendan Murphy, from Meadowlands Avenue in Warrenpoint, appeared at L’Derry Crown Court and admitted 22 charges.
A further charge of possessing an extremely graphic image of a child between December 2009 and March 2010 also received a guilty plea.
Murphy will be sentenced on December 11.
He has been placed on the Sex Offenders' Register for a length of time to be determined when he is sentenced.
He has been released on bail and ordered not to access the internet and not to possess a computer unless under police supervision.
Men Charged With Attempted Murder
Two men have been charged with attempted murder in Antrim town.
The pair, aged 33 and 37, were arrested after an assault at a house at Railway Street on Monday evening.
The 37-year-old has been charged with having an offensive weapon.

Man Remanded Over Murder And Arson Charges

City council employee Daniel Carlisle is alleged to have threatened to kill the two men and to have thrown a petrol bomb during an incident in west Belfast.
He was arrested at Monagh Grove on Sunday night. He faces 12 charges.
Carlisle, from Moyard Parade, Belfast, is accused of attempted murder and attempted arson endangering life at the Trinity Lodge Club.
He is also charged with assault, criminal damage and possessing and throwing a petrol bomb.
A PSNI officer said he could connect Carlisle with all of the alleged offences.
