BRITAIN-NIRELAND-UNREST

A Belfast City Council worker raises the union flag at Belfast City Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland to mark the Duchess of Cambridge's 31st birthday on January 9, 2013 for the first time since a decision not to display it permanently sparked protests, some of which have been violent. The British flag was hoisted over Belfast's City Hall for the first time since its removal a month ago sparked riots in Northern Ireland. On a sixth consecutive night of violence in the British province, protesters pelted police in the capital Belfast with petrol bombs, fireworks, bottles and stones.
