Petrol bombs, fires, and bricks smashing windows the riots in Belfast earlier this year was some of the worst violence ever seen in Northern Ireland for years.

Over several nights in April, cars were hijacked and loyalists including children and teenagers have vowed to resume protest action against postBrexit trading arrangements.

The Northern Ireland protocol is so much more than the socalled "sausage wars", it has created new barriers and bureaucracy on trade between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.

In this extended eyewitness report, ITV News has spent a month speaking to people in the Shankill Road community, which is predominantly loyalist, about the riots, the anger, and the impact of the Northern Ireland protocol on their lives.
