A man has been arrested by police investigating threats made to residents in a street in Lisburn.

A Belfast lawyer responds to comments by the PSNI's chief constable that £18m of £25m paid out by the force in legacy cases went to legal teams.

Police said no one was in the flat at the time but a number of people were told to leave their homes as a precaution.

A security alert in north Belfast has now ended after "a number of viable pipe bomb type devices" were discovered.

It gives victims the option to speak with officers via a video call, instead of by phone or in person.

Jon Boutcher said lawyers received almost £18m - more than double the amount obtained by victims.

Police attended the scene as up to 20 protesters make their way into a BBC building in Belfast.

The PSNI said a 58-year-old man was charged on Friday.
