Youth Club Building's Future Uncertain
A north Belfast youth club's future is uncertain after staff have been told they must give the building back to the Belfast Education and Library Board.
BELB said there were "major health and safety concerns" about the state of the building on Victoria Parade where the Artillery Youth Centre is.
The chairman of Stormont's education committee has backed the youth club.
Mervyn Storey said he would write to the board to ask it to reconsider its decision.
Belfast Boxer loses Olympics Photographs
Michael Conlan, one of Belfast's Olympic bronze medalists, has lost his mobile phone with all the photographs he took at London 2012.
Conlan, 20, was celebrating in a Dublin nightclub when he realised his phone was missing.
His father John said: "He is gutted. It has all his photographs with people like Usain Bolt and Serena Williams, as well as the ones with his team mates and the medals."
Rare Accordions Stolen From Comber House
Thirty rare and valuable accordions have been stolen from a house in Comber, County Down.
The owner arranged to meet two men who said they wanted to buy an accordion for a relative, but they did not show up.
When he got home, the owner discovered that the accordions, a motor home and some jewellery were missing.
Police asked for anyone with information to contact them.
They believe the motor home, a white six-berth Fiat Ducato with registration W91 PWM, may have been driven out of Northern Ireland.
