Thousands of protesters block a road in Northern Ireland in an attempt to stop an Orange Order march from entering a largely Catholic area. Protesters gather in advance of the parade and prevent movement toward the Garvaghy Road area, where the march is disputed.
Both reports describe large crowds taking to the streets and stopping access on routes leading into the Catholic neighborhood. Euronews says the blocking happens in Portadown and puts the number of protesters at about 2,000, specifying the Garvaghy Road as the destination area. Al Jazeera similarly describes thousands of protesters blocking a road into a Catholic area, without giving a specific figure. Both outlets frame the action as occurring ahead of the Orange Order march and highlight local tensions around where the parade is allowed to go.
