For a third night, riots rocked the town of Ballymena in Northern Ireland, with protesters throwing petrol bombs.

Police working ‘night and day’ to catch those involved in Northern Ireland riots - The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) has welcomed a reduction in disorder on Saturday night following several days of trouble.

Police in Portadown have used water cannon to tackle rioters who were attacking them. Officers were targeted with petrol bombs, fireworks, masonry, bricks and bottles. The disturbance in the West Street area marked the County Armagh town's second night of unrest, but was at a lower level than seen earlier in the week.
