Police officers, a bus driver and a journalist were attacked as further violence erupted in loyalist parts of Northern Ireland last night.

A bus was hijacked and attacked with petrol bombs in Belfast, an incident that has been described as "attempted murder" by First Minister Arlene Foster.
The Taoiseach Micheal Martin's also among those calling for calm following several nights of disorder, which has left 41 police officers injured and led to 10 arrests.
Stormont will meet for an emergency meeting later.
