DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Now on to Northern Ireland where nearly two weeks of rioting concluded overnight with the first death. Yet, ironically, the parade that brings the annual marching season to a close ended with a whimper rather than a bang. CNN's Nic Robertson is in Belfast. He joins us with the latest on that conflict -- Nic.</s>NIC ROBERTSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Daryn, so far today, this -- the biggest of the marches of Northern Ireland's Orange Order has gone peacefully. The marchers marched into the center of Belfast from their different areas -- they call them lodges -- and there they gathering, tens of thousands of them, then march to a park where they heard messages delivered from their various leaders. The mood amongst the Orange Order is perhaps one of division. There are divisions within them because some of these people who are very respectable, who have jobs, such as businessmen, such as farmers, do not believe that the violence of the recent weeks is in their best interest. There are others, of course, amongst them who are much more hard- line and who believe that by boisterous protest is the only way to be allowed to march through Catholic neighborhoods they want to go through. And, again, for the ninth night in succession, violence flared in the town of Portadown, central to this marching issue. Now, 21 policemen were injured in attacks buy rioters. Rocks, blast bombs and petrol bombs were thrown at the police and army. In the northern city of Derry, some 100 miles away to the north, there were three policemen injured. In other incidents, ambulancemen going to the help of civilians were attacked. One woman in her car had a crossbow bolt fired at her, and there were incidents as well of paramilitaries on the streets firing machine guns in the air. The situation now is very tense. Police and security chiefs here believe that the protest, the march today has gone off fairly well, fairly quietly. However, it is when those marchers go home, back to their lodges in the various areas of Belfast, that sometimes the trouble breaks out. I'm Nic Robertson, reporting live from Belfast.</s>KAGAN: Nic, thank you.
