live now to mark devenport, a freelance journalist and broadcaster based in county down in northern ireland. did you get a sense of shock in dublin and across the country, don't you? i suppose also from the police over what has happened. that you? i suppose also from the police over what has happened.— over what has happened. that is exactly the _ over what has happened. that is exactly the situation. _ over what has happened. that is exactly the situation. i _ over what has happened. that is exactly the situation. i think - exactly the situation. i think people in dublin are shocked seeing this date of the capital city today. they haven't had rights of this nature for many decades. we saw this ugly stabbing with schoolchildren being seriously injured, then the spreading of erroneous, unsubstantiated rumours on social media around that, which led to a protest which quickly developed into violence, with far right groups in an opportunistic way using this stabbing in order to spread their messages about migration, and then othersjoining in and just

messages about migration, and then others joining in and just generally an orgy of violence and looting. the rumours were that the knife attacker was a microchip and self, that is what the rumours were that spark this. , ., , what the rumours were that spark this. , .,, ., , this. yes, those with the rumours that i saw — this. yes, those with the rumours that i saw on _ this. yes, those with the rumours that i saw on social _ this. yes, those with the rumours that i saw on social media. - this. yes, those with the rumours that i saw on social media. the i that i saw on social media. the irish police have a man in his 50s, he was injured when he was apprehended and they certainly will be wanting to know what his motivation is. i think it was taken to hospital along with the children and the teacher wounded in the original attack. what should be said is that it was a migrant who apprehended that man, a brazilian delivery driver, who is being congratulated this morning for his bravery in taking off his helmet and using it in order to help pacify the man who was attacking the children. so that is one aspect that has been highlighted by a number of people. our people feeling unsafe, that they may be targeted? we heard from the
1:48 pm
prime minister, leo varadkar, earlier saying that dublin is still safe, he said i say to these were the actions of a tiny minority, not reflective of irish people. do people feel unsafe today in ireland? i think inevitably there will be some people from the immigrant communities who might well have felt unsafe last night and will want further reassurance in the day ahead given the serious level of violence that we saw on the streets of dublin. ireland has been a very welcoming country so far as far as migrants are concerned. on a per capita basis it is taken more ukrainian refugees and many other countries, also people from other areas around the world, but there has always been in recent months, anyway, a vocal if tiny minority who tended to blame the problems that still persist in areas, pockets of

deprivation, on migrants. we know that housing is a big difficulty in irish cities. those are the kind of messages that are being pushed on social media and elsewhere. the olice social media and elsewhere. the police chief _ social media and elsewhere. the police chief talked about radicalisation online. there has been a lot of criticism of the police and their response to this and i have been defending this today. people asking why it took so long to respond well it would seem that people online were organising to meet up. the that people online were organising to meet lip-— that people online were organising tomeetu. ., ., to meet up. the garda commissioner was sa in: to meet up. the garda commissioner was saying it — to meet up. the garda commissioner was saying it was _ to meet up. the garda commissioner was saying it was impossible - to meet up. the garda commissioner was saying it was impossible to - was saying it was impossible to predict how the investigation of the stabbing, where they were trying to make sure that they had a crime scene intact, that suddenly that would be complicated by this violence around and about it. there were two signs on social media and were two signs on social media and we are hearing calls today from garda representative organisations, effectively the police trade union, for more resources to be put into
1:50 pm
the police and government ministers are saying that the irish police could benefit from technological advances, like increased use of body cams and artificial intelligence to analyse the many cctv images that there are of those involved in the violence. those debates will go on, but the irish prime minister, the taoiseach, leo varadkar, has been at pains to say that people should not be seeking to place the responsibility for what happened on the police and on the authorities, that the primary responsibility is with those who perpetrated the violence themselves.— with those who perpetrated the violence themselves. thank you very much. hundreds of amazon staff have gone on strike in coventry on black friday, which is one of the year's busiest shopping days. members of the gmb union are locked in a dispute with their employer over pay and conditions. strikes are also taking place in europe and the us. unions say it is the biggest walkout in amazon history. amazon said the industrial action would not affect customers.

speaking of black friday, earlier this hour we heard from emma simpson who was on oxford street, one of britain's busiest shopping areas. let's chat more about this shopping phenomenon. i'm joined now by consumer affairs expert harry kind from which? how are you expecting black friday to go today? will it be a big day? we are hearing early reports that may be able not be quite as big as it has been in the past, that is partly because we are saying black friday getting longer and longer. it is a whole black friday week, maybe even a lot of november, and we are seeing rival sales days, like amazon prime day, theyjust mean today is a whole black friday week, maybe even a lot of november, and we are seeing rival sales days, like amazon prime day, theyjust mean today isn't quite so special. when we look at there are good deals around the rest

1:53 pm
something that you have to write as a consumer, you have to be aware of them, and not take too much attention to the price it was, that anchor price that we see as the big discount point from which we all think we have made some money somehow. . , ., ., , . somehow. that is the one that sucks chain. the somehow. that is the one that sucks chain- the one _ somehow. that is the one that sucks chain. the one thing _ somehow. that is the one that sucks chain. the one thing you _ somehow. that is the one that sucks chain. the one thing you notice - chain. the one thing you notice before black friday is all the e—mails and messages you get of offers. i suppose it is a key time for the scammers to take advantage of this of frenzy. it is for the scammers to take advantage of this of frenzy.— of this of frenzy. it is great ickin: of this of frenzy. it is great picking for _ of this of frenzy. it is great picking for the _ of this of frenzy. it is great picking for the scammers l of this of frenzy. it is great - picking for the scammers right now. a whole bunch of e—mails and if your guard is down a little bit, you have the stress of shopping, you have christmas coming along, you see all of these deals and then one e—mail showing deals of 80% off, 90% off, that looks may be too good to be true, that could well be a scam. what we do see our entire websites
1:54 pm
that are dead dupes for genuine retailers, john lewis, argos, amazon, where you would not realise that it wasn't a genuine website until you paid and didn't receive anything in the post. the other wrist, of course, is because we are all buying so much, we are getting so many deliveries around this time, it is the perfect time to put out one of these tech scams that says your parcel has been delivered, pay three online to make sure that it gets to you. these are great opportunities for scammers so you have to be on your guard. you have talked about _ have to be on your guard. you have talked about websites _ have to be on your guard. you have talked about websites before, - have to be on your guard. you have talked about websites before, like. talked about websites before, like price runners, that tells you the history the price of an album item. tell me about them. we all know we should compare prices to work out where the best place to get something is. price comparison websites can tell you when the best time to buy things are, as well.
1:55 pm
there are different websites that allow you to see the whole history of a price so you can see, hang on, while this item seems to be cheap now, it was actually £20 cheaper in july, so maybe if i hold my horses a table, that is better. that works for something that you buy regularly, i have a particular price of rum that i like how one below is a certain price on amazon, i get an e—mail. if you do that throughout the year, you can forget about black friday, you will know that you can get a good deal. you friday, you will know that you can get a good deal-— friday, you will know that you can get a good deal. you have your rum riori get a good deal. you have your rum priority there! _ get a good deal. you have your rum priority there! thank _ get a good deal. you have your rum priority there! thank you _ get a good deal. you have your rum priority there! thank you for - priority there! thank you for talking to us. thank you for talking to us. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. hello there. snow is not going to be an issue over the next couple of days, but the cold air is in place and it's going to remain cold through this weekend. with clearer skies overnight, that means more frost around, though there may be more cloud
1:56 pm
arriving during sunday. we have seen some cloud around today and certainly a drop in temperature. here in suffolk temperatures were 15 degrees yesterday, but they are about eight degrees at least lower today. we've seen the wind direction changing, essentially bringing down that colder air on a brisk north to north—westerly wind. we're getting that sort of wind direction because we've got higher pressure to the west where the winds are lighter, lower pressure to the east where the winds are much stronger, and that's where we're seeing the showers, rain showers driving down north sea coasts towards norfolk and also into suffolk. these are the temperatures actually as we head into the early evening, so falling away very quickly, but we've got those really strong winds still down those north sea coasts, so here it does feel even colder once again. those winds may ease and, away from here, the winds are going to fall lighter overnight. it looks like we should have clearer skies overnight away from northern parts of scotland, so that means it's going to get cold and get cold very quickly. we're likely to find the first widespread frost of the autumn away from those easternmost parts of the uk and away from northern scotland.
1:57 pm
those temperatures will be below freezing, perhaps as low as minus four or minus five celsius. so pointing to a cold, but a sunnier start on the whole for saturday. we aren't going to be as windy on saturday. there will still be some showers running down those north sea coasts into norfolk and suffolk and there will still be some cloud in the north and north—west of scotland, but otherwise probably more sunshine than we've seen today. but after that frosty start, it does mean a slow rise in temperatures, typically five or six degrees. it will still feel chilly, but there will be more sunshine around. things start to change, though, for the second half of the weekend because we've got this weather system here just slowly ambling in from the atlantic, arriving into western areas to bring a little bit of rain to northern ireland, later into south—west scotland and over the irish sea. whilst many places may well be dry and there will be a frosty start, we've got cloud coming in after that cold and frosty start, so even though the winds are light once again and we've got that cloud around, it will feel cold and stay
