Plus, Brexit Vote - could Sinn Fein have made a difference if they took their seats?

The PSNI have so far NOT arrested anyone, or conducted any searches, in relation to the violence in east Belfast and north down last week. 
This despite the fact they issued a warning on the 11th that they had information the UVF intended to orchestrate attacks, linked to the removal of bonfire material from 2 sites. 
This was revealed to the Irish News this week, and  followed  the burning of a bus and cars, and passengers kept in the City airport due to a security alert in the area. 

This followed the dismantelling of the Cluan Place and Bloomfield Walkway bonfire sites. The cost of dismantling these sites is being kept secret. 
Police officers in riot gear protected masked contractors who removed the material - after a court order was issued.

Plus, what did you all make of the World Cup? Were you supporting England? Stephen was... And he took a lot of stick for it on twitter and facebook.

Also, with the Government on a knife-edge after scraping through a series of key Brexit votes - our MPs have never been more crucial 

This week - Key Brexiteer amendments to the Government's Chequers deal passed by just three votes 

There have been calls for Sinn Fein to take their seats, and stop Brexit 

But should they - or should they stick to the abstentionist position they were elected on?

And, Sir Cliff Richard has won his High Court privacy case against the BBC over its
coverage of a police raid on his home.

High Court judge Mr Justice Mann has awarded him £210,000 damages.

The singer claimed the BBC's reporting of the 2014 raid, which was part of an investigation into historical child sex allegations, was a "serious invasion" of privacy.

Sir Cliff was never arrested or charged over the allegations, which dated back to 1985.
