Peter Robinson says ‘rioting is not the answer’ on eve of loyalist march past flashpoint republican area in north Belfast With less than 24 hours to go before the most controversial loyalist parade of Ulster’s marching season, the first and deputy first ministers of Northern Ireland have appealed for calm across the community. Peter Robinson, the first minister, said on Monday that while feelings were running high on the eve The Twelfth – when Protestants celebrate the battle of the Boyne, with marches – “violence and rioting” was not the answer. He called on “everyone to take a step back and think of the consequences before doing something which you will later regret”. A major security operation will be in force on Tuesday in north Belfast where Orangemen are scheduled to march past the republican Ardoyne area and nationalists are planning a demonstration. Residents have accused ministers in the power-sharing cabinet at Stormont of ignoring their community’s demands that a feeder parade is re-routed away from their area, which has been the scene of violent disorder in previous years owing to the opposition to the marches. Robinson said: “In recent weeks the eyes of the world have focused in on Northern Ireland for both all the right reasons and, unfortunately, all the wrong reasons. “As a government we are continuing to work hard to create jobs and investment and to build and grow our economy. “We must not allow the progress that has been made to be thwarted by those who want to drag us back to the past.” His deputy, Martin McGuinness, said it was “in the interests of everyone” to ensure that Northern Ireland had a “peaceful summer”. McGuinness said: “As a government we are committed to creating a better future for all. Some recent events do not help. Issues surrounding a small number of contentious parades need to be resolved. “I call on elected representatives, community leaders and indeed everyone in positions of authority within local communities to use their influence wisely this summer.” The Greater Ardoyne Residents Committee said it would be the politicians’ fault if violence erupted during the parade.

Volga river disaster death toll expected to rise significantly after reports from rescuers, who recovered eight more dead Divers searching the wreck of a Russian Volga river boat reportedly saw more than 100 corpses trapped inside the vessel when they recovered eight bodies on Monday. A few dozen divers working with underwater lights searched the Bulgaria, a double-decked boat built in 1955 that survivors said listed and sank in minutes on Sunday during stormy weather with nearly 200 people on board. Nine people were confirmed dead, an emergency situations ministry spokeswoman said – including one woman who was found on Sunday. Eighty people were rescued, most of them climbing aboard a passing boat after more than an hour in the water, but there is little hope anyone else has survived. “According to the divers, the chances of finding anyone alive are minimal,” she said. An estimated 110 bodies, including those of 30 children, remained in the sunken ship, the Interfax news agency cited a regional search and rescue service as saying. As many as 60 of the passengers may have been children, Russian media reported, and survivors said some 30 children had gathered in a room near the stern of the ship to play just minutes before it sank. Andrianova said 185 people were believed to have been on board, but local officials later said the number was 199 including 18 unregistered passengers. The bodies of five women, two men and a child had been recovered by 4am GMT on Monday, said a spokesman for the ministry’s branch in Tatarstan, where the boat sank 3km (2 miles) from shore in a broad section of the Volga river. The top Volga district emergency official, Igor Panshin, said bodies could be seen in the 56-year-old pleasure craft’s restaurants as well as the hold. He said the boat sank in about eight minutes. Anxious relatives greeted survivors who were brought to the port in Kazan, Tatarstan’s capital, late on Sunday. “The child is back there,” one man cried, wailing with grief as he hugged a woman. One woman told state-run Rossiya-24 television she lost her grip on her daughter as they struggled to escape. “Practically no children made it out,” she said. “There were lots of children on the boat, lots.” President Dmitry Medvedev ordered investigators to determine the cause of the sinking and prosecutors opened a criminal investigation. Russian media reports focused on the age of the boat, built in what was then Czechoslovakia. The Volga cuts through the heart of Russia hundreds of kilometres east of Moscow. The Bulgaria had taken its passengers from Kazan to a town downriver on Saturday and was returning when it sank in 20-metre-deep water. Russia Europe guardian.co.uk
