Violence broke out tonight after loyalist and republican parades through North Belfast.
A burning car was driven at police lines, as two water cannons and hundreds of riot police were deployed at the Ardoyne sectarian interface.
Bottles and other missiles were thrown while republicans and loyalists exchanged taunts.
Trouble has erupted for years at the enclave after the Twelfth of July parade, the culmination of the Protestant Orange Order's marching season.

Rioting with republicans attacking police lines later erupted and continued for several hours.
