Belfast: Stones and fireworks thrown at police

A heavy police presence was in operation on Thursday night in Belfast, with a water cannon, police dogs and the riot squad in place in a bid to quell another night of unrest in the area.

Stones and fireworks were thrown at police by gangs of youths gathered on the nationalist Springfield Road, close to where Wednesday night's riots took place.
