Northern Line

Three unionist parties in Northern Ireland have backed a motion of no confidence in First Minister Michelle O'Neill. The move comes as tensions persist over contested parades, including the Drumcree march along Garvaghy Road, where the Court of Appeal has reserved judgment on residents' challenge. Sinn Fein separately faces a police probe amid the protest tensions. Supporters of the Garvaghy Road residents, including Noel Gallagher, Suggs and Susan Sarandon, have publicly lined up behind them.

London's Northern Line was thrown into chaos after a fire, forcing the closure of parts of the line and leaving commuters to crowd onto buses. Dramatic photographs show packed queues and overcrowded buses at stations across the capital as people struggled to get to work. Transport officials have not given a full timeline for the line's return to normal service.

Local leaders in Falls Church, Virginia, are calling for quicker movement on a planned bus rapid transit line, urging that planning and construction advance without further delay. The push reflects growing pressure to improve transit connections in the densely populated Northern Virginia corridor, though details on timelines and funding were not immediately available.
