lawbreaking or worse. windows smashed, it fires a set ablaze, residents and staff in absolute fear. there is nojustification, none, for taking this action and all right minded people should be condemning this sort of violence. people in this country have a right to be safe, and yet, we have seen muslim communities targeted, attacks on mosques, other minority communities singled out, nazi salutes in the streets, attacks on the police, wanton violence alongside racist rhetoric. so, no. i will not shy away from calling it what it is. far right thuggery. to those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin or your

8:35 pm
arrangements are in place. we have standing arrangements for law enforcement which means we can get arrests, charged and remained in custody and convictions done quickly. i myself was part of that in 2011 when i was director of public prosecution said i'm determined we will do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice as quickly as possible. do ou justice as quickly as possible. do you believe everyone that is taking part in _ you believe everyone that is taking part in this — you believe everyone that is taking part in this disorder is part of the far right? — part in this disorder is part of the far right? does any of the scenes, to any— far right? does any of the scenes, to any of— far right? does any of the scenes, to any of the scenes we are seeing at the _ to any of the scenes we are seeing at the moment give you pause for thought— at the moment give you pause for thought about divisions in the country— thought about divisions in the country or how you approach a third broader— country or how you approach a third broader domestic policy areas? if broader domestic policy areas? if you broader domestic policy areas? you target broader domestic policy areas? it you target people because of the colour of the skin or their faith and that is far right and i am prepared to say so. but it does not matter what their apparent motivation is. this is violent, it's not protest. it does not matter what the motivation is. the motivation

places today which began piece of lead but became violent. let’s places today which began piece of lead but became violent. let's start with rod room. _ lead but became violent. let's start with rod room. it _ lead but became violent. let's start with rod room. it appeared - lead but became violent. let's start with rod room. it appeared to be i lead but became violent. let's start with rod room. it appeared to be a l with rod room. it appeared to be a peaceful protest with people protesting against racism outside of a hotel on the outskirts of rotham before what has been described as far right protesters turned up and it turned violent. they outnumber the police, they threw bricks and there is footage of them literally pulling posts off of a wooden fence which they use to propel at police and they smashed doors, they sent a really been on fire and push it into the hotel and at that point we did not know if there were people in or not, but there were people filming that there were people on the top floor looking out, there were worries there. luckily the bin fire
8:38 pm
was extinguished. then protesters managed to get in the building. police numbers increase in they moved and pushed the protesters back. there have been a number of injured police officers, ten in total according to south yorkshire police including one officer that was left unconscious after a head injury. 0ur reporter on the ground said there is still a police cordon pushing people further and further down the road trying to get him away from the hotel. then let's go to bolton where a peaceful protest did not take long to erupt into violence about half an hour's time i reporter told us to different groups came to clashing in a certain street. please try to separate them and they did not want any violence, but again the police became the target —— target with different projectiles being thrown at them. bottles, bricks, cans. greater manchester police have
8:39 pm
issued a section 60 a a order because there is a pattern throughout all of these protests and why it is going on around england, but people are covering their faces with masks, hoodies or balaclava is but in this section order, it says you cannot walk around with a covering on your face and you will be asked to remove it. at the same time, they are able to disperse crowds in that area by 10pm this evening and also they have been given extra powers to stop and search people. then let's go to middlesbrough where there has also been a lot of problems in terms of violence. 1a people have been arrested so far in middlesbrough but that number will probably rise. again a lot of violence in terms of, i have seen footage of young people walking through the side streets around the town throwing bricks into people's homes and smashing cars. there is a lot of chatter on social
8:40 pm
media about being really upset and scared in the town of middlesbrough, cars are being burnt, wheelie bins set on fire. again, the police being the object of violence and anger and they are still there dealing with all of that. g , they are still there dealing with all of that-— all of that. just catching up and readin: all of that. just catching up and reading the _ all of that. just catching up and reading the live _ all of that. just catching up and reading the live reporting - all of that. just catching up and reading the live reporting that. all of that. just catching up and | reading the live reporting that is being posted on the bbc news website saying that there has not been one person arrested in weymouth in dorsett on the south coast. about 400 protesters from two different sides gathering there by the sea. in weymouth on the beach it would appear that one side was approaching another at speed. the police, became, if you would like the filling in that sandwich, where they would try to separate both groups to keep them apart. 0ne would try to separate both groups to keep them apart. one person has been arrested. police say they have increased numbers in the area and there is a strong police presence.
8:41 pm
they are in full riot gear and they are trying to calm the situation. again we are hearing the same phrase, this is not protest, it is just violent disorder. and that is what seems to be spreading around different towns, particularly in the north of england. just different towns, particularly in the north of england.— north of england. just to say thou~h, north of england. just to say though, there _ north of england. just to say though, there are _ north of england. just to say though, there are some - though, there are some demonstrations which have remained peaceful. demonstrations which have remained eaceful. ., , ., ., ,, demonstrations which have remained eaceful. ., .,~ , peaceful. there was one taking place in all the short _ peaceful. there was one taking place in all the short earlier _ peaceful. there was one taking place in all the short earlier today, - in all the short earlier today, people turned up and both sides of the argument people think they were not happy with immigration in the country other saying immigrants were welcome, there was no violence, no reports of any violence that seemed to be a peaceful protest that happened in and in peace and aldeshot. we must say, up and down the country while these violent acts are going on, i have seen posts in particular of middlesbrough on social media where people saying, let's gather tomorrow to clean up our town, let's gather tomorrow to clean up ourtown, bring let's gather tomorrow to clean up our town, bring your brushes, bring your tools, we are going to clean up

8:46 pm
he told the bbc that the violent scenes are a result of politicians normalising the language of the far right. the framing is important. this is not happening in a vacuum. we have seen far right rhetoric before, mainstreamed into political discourse, not for years, mainstreamed into political discourse, not foryears, but mainstreamed into political discourse, not for years, but for decades. discourse, not foryears, but for decades. instead discourse, not for years, but for decades. instead of confronting the far right, politicians what they have done far too often is appease the far right, adopt the language of the far right, adopt the language of the far right and we are seeing the consequences of that being played out in the most violent and focus to let ways into the streets of england and other parts of the uk.— and other parts of the uk. former first minister _ and other parts of the uk. former first minister of _ and other parts of the uk. former first minister of scotland. - tiffa ny tiffany lynch is the deputy national chair of england and wales and she says the police have the resources to cope with their current resources, but they are stretched. we don't have an infinite number of police officers and we have been banging on about that for the longest while. so what will happen is that these officers are coming off of the streets, they are coming
8:47 pm
from neighbourhoods, from response policing and other departments actually fulfilled these deployments so what is been happening is there rules are being back fields, we are having breast is cancelled and they are coming back from annual lead to actually cover the shifts that we have a capability. in essence, the day—to—day policing, the burglaries taking place, the domestic violence incidents the assault and anti—social behaviour, we have to prioritise and at the moment, this is the priority. in effect, our communities are being let down because they are not getting their crimes or incidents attended or investigated in a swift manner for which they deserve. dr chris cocking, who is the principal lecturer, school of humanities and social science at the university of brighton. his research involves the study of groups, falling into two main areas: crowd behaviour and collective resilience. he told me what's struck him about the way these protests have evolved over the past few days.
8:48 pm
what's interesting about these protozoa is that there are some unusual things that normally happened in riots. for example, in liverpool we saw that a local library was attacked and firefighters were also attacked when they came to put their fire out. that is very unusual because usually behaviour in riots is fairly well ordered and people don't tend to attack their local community services of identification with it. so that it is quite interesting in this particular situation. talk to us about how _ this particular situation. talk to us about how groups _ this particular situation. talk to us about how groups get - this particular situation. talk to . us about how groups get described either by politicians or by the media. it's one thing to be, to clamp down on scenes like this and not to tolerate violence, but how important is description of the people who gather. it’s
8:49 pm
important is description of the people who gather.— people who gather. it's vital because what _ people who gather. it's vital because what we _ people who gather. it's vital because what we found, - people who gather. it's vital. because what we found, myself people who gather. it's vital - because what we found, myself and others who researched crowd psychology is coverage of these incidents fall into what we call a rationalist language which does not help us understand the situation and does not prevent these things from happening again. for example, the term mindless mob and crawled out of control is frequently used to describe the situation and that almost never happens. to imply it is mindless, it may be not pleasant to outsiders saying what's going on is despicable but that is not for the people involved in it, they may feel it is rational behaviour to them and unless you understand how both sides are behaving in these situations, you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes of my understanding properly what is going on. what mistakes of my understanding properly what is going on. what sort of lanauuae properly what is going on. what sort of language and _ properly what is going on. what sort of language and approach _ properly what is going on. what sort of language and approach does - properly what is going on. what sortl of language and approach does help? but we try to do when we look at crowd disorders as we try to go beyond deciding whether or not crowd behaviour is rational or irrational
8:50 pm
because that is in the body of the beholder and we would look at norms of behaviour what would be considered normative within a crowd or normative to people outside the event were not police or counter protesters on the dates we always encourage a much more measured take and description of words to describe people because otherwise you just fall into the rationalist mistakes and does not help you understand what is going on.— and does not help you understand what is going on. colleagues of ours of adidas e-verify _ what is going on. colleagues of ours of adidas e-verify have _ what is going on. colleagues of ours of adidas e-verify have been - what is going on. colleagues of ours| of adidas e-verify have been looking of adidas e—verify have been looking at the nature of these protests and the links the people, perhaps fermenting the dissent and it would appear that not everyone attending these protests holds fringe views, they are not necessarily linked to far right groups, they are out on the streets are very different reasons. some of
8:51 pm
them may have concerns about immigration and how they express that can be more or less aggressive, it is very different, isn't it? it appears quite disparate groups incite these processes in various places, is that your take on it? well, i would say that they still would share an overall degree of value. so, for example, the demographics of the people involved in these incidents will be very, very different from those that were involved in the 2011 riots. and that may sound a bit obvious, but it's important to say that because otherwise you just assume that everyone kind of gets infected by this, this information, this misinformation that's going out and not everybody does. i mean, what often happens with these incidents as well is they're known as sometimes what's called community events. and your correspondent, mark easton, did comment in sunderland that there were people coming out with families and pushchairs and things. and clearly they would be much less likely to have been involved in the rioting and very unlikely to be attacked by other rioters. and so you do get lots of people coming out to the events.
8:52 pm
but i would say that it would be people that, while they may not be directly involved in violent acts, probably have a degree of sympathy to the values of what's been called at that protest, and the people that didn't either wouldn't go or they would be on the other counter side, which is what we've seen a lot of in the last couple of days. cou nter— protests. what draws people out? people who wouldn't normally take to the streets in this way? i'm thinking about the sort of the sociology of it, that idea of, you know, groupthink, crowd behaviour, what draws people out. i mean, we've got the added, um, influence these days, which we didn't have so much of in 2011 of social media at play. social media and misinformation and social media clearly has a role in this. but i would say as well is that, um, we need to be careful when we talk about what draws people out, because it's very easy to slip into concepts that are often used, such as the term of contagion, which is people are completely uncritical. so i would suggest that people are coming out, perhaps with curiosity, perhaps because they share the values of it,
8:53 pm
but it um, for people that were diametrically opposed to those, the kind of principles and values of the protest, they just wouldn't go. and what's often forgotten is that by no means the entire community are involved in these things. and you get people, for example, who do not support what's going on will be very likely to either counter protest or turn up to clear up the following day and to support the local mosque, for example, in southport that's been attacked. so you do get broad different groups of people, but i would still say them may have concerns about immigration and how they express that they share similar values. let's return to our correspondent. it does
8:54 pm
look police have been quite stretched at times and in coping with the sheer number of different demonstrations, sometimes those turning into rights that have broken out particularly today in various places. out particularly today in various laces. �* , ., out particularly today in various laces. �*, ., ., �*, ., places. let's not forget. it's a weekend _ places. let's not forget. it's a weekend of — places. let's not forget. it's a weekend of violence - places. let's not forget. it's a weekend of violence across i places. let's not forget. it's a - weekend of violence across different towns and cities in england in particular. police as he would've heard in one of those clips still have to do the day—to—day policing job. they still have to attend other priorities like domestic violence and other issues, like left, but now the priority is maintaining law and order. we know police officers have been asked to withdraw any relief they have, but the message they are trying to get across is that they will bring swift law in order to the streets in and around england. i want to bring you a statement from the director of public which has been posted formally known on this

twitter which says we have deployed extra and we are working around the clock to make sure lana and order is maintained injustices clock to make sure lana and order is maintained in justices served. clock to make sure lana and order is maintained injustices served. the echoing the same sentiment and lines the prime minister keir starmer used earlier when he said just as we will be swift and if people believe that they have not received a knock on they have not received a knock on the door, their time will come, effectively. this is going to be stretching police around the country. stretching police around the count . ., ,., ., stretching police around the count . ., ., ., country. the other point we have to make is the — country. the other point we have to make is the government _ country. the other point we have to make is the government has - country. the other point we have to make is the government has said i country. the other point we have to i make is the government has said they want to make sure the places worship notably mosques will be offered extra help with security. in middlesbrough earlier extra help with security. ii�*u middlesbrough earlier today around 300 people turned up to protect a mosque there, but the home office has announced they're issuing a new security scheme for mosques where

they can apply for rapid response personnel to come and help where they will be to protect communities in particular saying they will build on the governments existing protecting securities for mosques themes which are defined securities act mosques and muslim schools. as we saw earlier in the week, and southport, mosque there was a target so the home office specifically is looking to make sure they are protected. the home secretary cooper said as a nation we will not tolerate criminal behaviour, teacher's extremism and racist attacks that go against everything our country stands for. chi chi izundu. we will of course look at the story in the coming hours but let's pause and take a look at the weather forecast. hello. a cloudy start for many this sunday, but as the day continued sunshine
8:57 pm
came through and this is richmond upon thames, but it could be anywhere across parts of england and wales and some of eastern scotland as well. threatening skies further north and west as we see in north berwick. the sign of rain isjust around the corner. not only rain but strengthening winds, gusts in excess of 45 miles an hour will continue to push in northern ireland and western scotland through the night tonight. this is tied into this area of low pressure and that will linger first thing on monday morning. that means the rain could be quite heavy, particularly in western scotland. the bright yellow and green show the intensity of the rain and we could see two to three inches of rain before the front clears through. the rain is showery in nature across eastern scotland. it will be a narrow band, but an intense rainfall moving through northern ireland. some drizzle in west—facing coasts and south—west england but again that cloud will thin and break for central and eastern england. that will continue to be the case as we go through the day and with the south—westerly wind
8:58 pm
trapping in some very warm air from the near continent it will turn increasingly more humid as we go through the afternoon. temperatures may well peak across eastern england as high as 26 degrees. cooler and fresher further north and west as the frontal system continues to move its way steadily eastwards. it willjust ease to a narrow intense band of rain through the night, but because it has been so warm and humid by day, it could be an uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep and that front will still be there first thing on tuesday morning. good news for gardeners out there, welcome rain in south—east england, not much but hopefully enough to keep the plants happy. brighter conditions following on behind and a few scattered showers and highs of 16—25 celsius as we go through tuesday afternoon. into wednesday, low pressure is set to return and this is the trend as we go through the end of the week with lows and frontal system
8:59 pm
staying in the north. further south we might continue to see high pressure clinging on, giving the best of the drier, brighter and warmer weather at times. live from london. this is bbc news ten police officers in the uk have
9:00 pm
been injured in violent unrest in rotherham, around 700 people took part in a far—right rally at a hotel housing asylum seekers. and in middlesbrough, hundreds gathered to protect a mosque against a violent mob that broke through a police line and attacked officers. in bolton, an emergency order is in place to prevent people from covering their faces, with many hidden behind balaclavas. the prime minister says he'll do whatever it takes to end the violence. i want you to know that this violent mob do not represent our country and we will bring them to justice. and he's done it! by a hair's width noah lyle cruises into the men's 100 metre final, winning an olympic gold medal for the usa.
