Missing man's body found in Belfast river

Building sites to be picketed
Pickets are to be placed on a number of building sites operated by the firm Collen Construction this morning.
Three men - Andrew Clarke, Keith Kelly and William McClurg - contend that not enough jobs on a Collen site in Ballybrack in Co Dublin have been given to local people. The three were jailed last week for failing to obey a court order in relation to a picket they had set up at the Collen site in Ballybrack.
Richard Boyd Barrett urged a crowd of 200 at a rally outside the Central Bank in Dublin to "bring the dispute to Collen" with this morning's pickets. He said trade unions were meeting Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council officials, who had hired Collen Construction on the Ballybrack project, in an attempt to force a resolution of the issue.
The pickets, due to get under way today, are at Collen sites at the Municipal Gallery in the city centre, Ballybrack and UCD. A spokesman for the company said the dispute was not of their making. "A lot of local labour had been employed on the site at Ballybrack already . . . it was not Collen but a subcontractor which was hiring people."
Armed robber's amazing grace
A priest held up by a robber at gun point on a bus in Brazil said yesterday that the armed raider asked him to pray for him, writes Sorcha Crowley.
Sligo diocesan priest Fr Martin Keaveney, from Easkey, was on an 18-hour bus journey on Monday from a religious conference in the Amazon basin when two armed men jumped in front of the bus, forcing it to pull over.
Fr Keaveney told Ocean FM: "I was at the very front seat and when [ the robber] came to me I handed over my wallet. The lady beside him said I was a priest and a stranger to the country. I gave him my money and when he heard this, he returned my identity documents to me," he said.
"The other [ robber] said to me "Are you a priest?" and I said 'Yes', and he said, "Father please pray for me when you go to your church, I need them."
Jailed over child pornography
A man (45) was yesterday jailed for 12 months and placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years, when he admitted at Derry Crown Court to 25 specimen charges of downloading child pornography from the internet.
The defendant cannot be named for legal reasons.
Judge Gemma Loughran said among the images were ones showing the rape of children and babies.
