hello, i'm martine croxall. we start with our breaking news from the uk, where there have been more violent far right protests in england. since saturday night, police have made 147 arrests, and that number is expected to rise. in middlesbrough, protestors smashed windows of cars and houses, and threw bricks at police, and in rotherham, hundreds of demonstrators clashed with riot police before storming a hotel housing asylum seekers. now, let's get more on how this unfolded, our correspondent navtej johal has this report from rotherham. anger, violence, destruction. these chaotic scenes are unlike any you would expect on a sunny summer afternoon. at times today rotherham has felt lawless. it began this morning with a group of antiracism protesters outside the hotel on the outskirts of this hotel where it is believed that asylum seekers are being housed,

but they were quickly outnumbered by a larger group of anti—immigration protesters, many of them angry at the idea of asylum seekers living in taxpayer funded hotel rooms. as the afternoon wore on, chants were not the only thing being hurled at the police or the building. in the last half an hour things appeared to turn ugly, windows smashed across the hotel, hundreds of people in the streets, police attacked, objects thrown at them including fence panels pulled out from around the hotel, and things appear to be turning increasingly nasty. not long after the protesters managed to get in, the building was set alight. the company that owns the holiday inn express chain wouldn't confirm if asylum seekers were still living at the hotel and said the safety and security of our colleagues and guests is always the priority. earlier this week the prime minister

and home secretary met with police chiefs ahead of planned demonstrations this week. in the past hour the prime minister reacted to the scenes in rotherham. i utterly condemn the far right thuggery we have seen this weekend. be in no doubt, those that have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. the police will be making arrests, individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow. i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder either directly or those whipping up this online and then running away themselves. at least one police officer has been injured here today and much of the violence we have seen this week has affected those tasked with protecting the public.

there have backbench demonstration in other parts of the country as well. with me is our reporter chi chi izundu. we have some of the sense there, of what has been happening in rotherham and to repeat, that at least ten police officers there have been injured. police officers there have been in'ured. . ., ., ., , injured. including one who was left unconscious _ injured. including one who was left unconscious after _ injured. including one who was left unconscious after a _ injured. including one who was left unconscious after a head _ injured. including one who was left unconscious after a head injury - injured. including one who was left| unconscious after a head injury yes, it turned very violent in rotherham as that report showed us, but if we jump as that report showed us, but if we jump to middlesbrough, there has been civil unrest there too, and quite a lot of rye i violent disorder. people are still trying to calm people down in that area, cars and homes round the town centre have been vandalised, i saw footage of young boys, throwing bricks into

people's homes, window, smashing up cars, wheelie bins have been set on fire, the police from been target again, things thrown at them as they stand in full riot gear trying to quash the violence going on, 14 arrests, so far, no doubt there may be more, teesside university has fallen victim to the violent disorder. smashed windows and doors, but, there is a nice ray of hope because i have seen social media posts asking local community members to gather tomorrow, to try and clean up to gather tomorrow, to try and clean up middlesbrough, they are saying this isn't our town, it doesn't represent us, we will come together as a community and tidy up. let us go to bolton, bolton is another area that has seen a lot of violence and unrest as well. police again, the target. things being thrown at them, brick, can, bottles, they have put in a section 6aa order because a

pattern that we are seeing all weekend is people covering their faces with balaclavas and facemask and in bolton specifically they are saying, the police that is, you cannot do that in this area, we will ask you to remove them, and be identifiable. they have also put in a section 60 order which gives officers more powers to stop and stop and search people, and they are hoping to disperse crowds by 10pm this evening. then, let us go to weymouth, where there has been an arrest, already, after two separate groups came together, and there were potential clashes of violence, things were thrown at each other, police had to get into the middle of that, they are in full riot gear, it seems to have calmed down what now, and but there is still a heavy police presence in the area, then i want to bring you this little bit of breaking news from tamworth police.

who have posted on x. we are aware and responding proactively to protest activity in tamworth today. 0fficers protest activity in tamworth today. officers are deployed in specialist public order equipment. robust action will be taken against those responsible for violence and disorder and updates will be provided on this page and when i get more information on that i will bring it to you. 50 more information on that i will bring it to you.— more information on that i will brinuitto ou. . , ., ., bring it to you. so that is tamworth in staffordshire _ bring it to you. so that is tamworth in staffordshire in _ bring it to you. so that is tamworth in staffordshire in the _ bring it to you. so that is tamworth in staffordshire in the west - in staffordshire in the west midlands. that is a new report that we have received. thank you for the moment. 0ur reporter 0lly constable has been close to the police lines in rotherham, and i spoke to him a short time ago about what he has been seeing it seems to go in waves, the atmosphere. short time ago it was quite calm, officers were taking that time to grab a drink and recharge their batteries, because it has been a long time for them to be on their feet. well, there is one particular group of people that seem to be moving between two police cordons.

this is one we can see here, where items are being thrown towards them, pieces of gravel, stones, rocks, those sort of things. that is continuing today. 0n the other side of the housing estate to our left—hand side, there is another police line, and the group seem to be moving between that area and this one. the previous area that we were at, which is opposite this holiday inn hotel, we saw that they were trying to uproot a post box, to use that as a weapon to throw. they dismantled a fence and used that to throw towards officers. anything that they can get their hands on, they are then throwing towards police. how many protestors are out on the streets at the moment? it is hard for us to tell because we can just see this line of riot police across the road on our screens at the moment. so behind this line of riot police, of which there is about 70 on or so on this line, there is another sort of 30 behind us waiting to sort of move in. the amount of protesters i'd put in the 200 or so range.

a lot of them are wrung people, these are teenagers, some children we have seen here today, wearing balaclavas and joining in, notjust the protest but the violence afterwards. do they even know why they are out there? i spoke to a neighbour, whose garden was being used as ammunition for these people who are throwing it. he said he didn't recognise any of these people. he said neighbours who live in the area understand why these hotels are being used for asylum seekers. hhe said that the people who were coming out, he described them as thugs, children, kids who were here for a scrap, nothing else. we have more items being thrown towards us, we're going to take another step back. we will, yes. the police officers are giving us a warning to just take a few steps back because of the items that are still being thrown here. the people we can see throwing the items are predominantly younger people. like you say, do they know why they are here? were they here for

the protest early? we don't know. they are certainly here for the violence that followed. that was a distinction that the prime minister made, wasn't it. he said this isn't protest, this is violence, and he is very clear that this is disorder that essentially is targeting people because of their colour of theirskin, ortheirfaith and there was no way to legitimise disorder on britain's streets. can you tell what it is that is being thrown, 0lly? it is a mixture of items. we sort of see there has been cans that have been left here, i will show you, some items on the floor, there are cans here, there is a golf ball here, that is one of the items that has been thrown as well, but a lot of the items are just stone, pieces of shell that have been found in people's gardens. this traffic island in front of me did have a sign on it at one point. that has been removed and was used to be thrown. we saw when they did manage to get into the hotel earlier, the initial trouble that flared, they then used that as an opportunity to gather ammunition. they grabbed chairs, fire extinguishers that were turned on police and sprayed towards them.

it is a case of they will grab whatever they can, destroy fencing, lamp posts, post box, there is a — behind us is a bus stop, which has been smashed to pieces, and items from that have then been used as weapons as well. let's speak to prof stephen reicher from the centre for research into equality, diversity & inclusion at the univeristy of st andrews. we wa nt we want to talk to you professor about how people behave in circumstances like this, in your view, how inaccurate is it to use language like mob, and mindless? i understand why people use that language because they want to express their disgust, their dismay at what is happening and i think thatis at what is happening and i think that is widely shared but there are a couple of problems in talking about crowd members as mindless. the

first is, crowd events are complex, what is going on at the moment is a mixture of thing, a mixture of groups that are involved in the protests, some of them are organised far right members. some of them are as we havejust far right members. some of them are as we have just heard are young people, who maybe anti—police, recent research suggests that only 40% of the population has trust in the police and is far less among young men, so people who are anti—police, seeing the police on the back foot, and coming out to have a go. some people are simply there to gawp so it is notjust one thing, but the critical point, especially round the far right, is these people are not mindless and calling them mindless is to let them off the hook. they know exactly what they are doing, they are acting on they are doing, they are acting on the basis a very clear pernicious clear ideology, which is anti—authority, which is the establishment as its enemy and which is racist, and sees the establishment as using particular

groups, to undermine their notion of englishness, so they know what they are doing, they are not mindless. the second point is that if you begin to say that crowd members remindless, they don't know what they are doing you lump different crowds together and you get to a point where you see all protest as dangerous, now i would argue that protest is a fundamental part of our democracy, and i would argue if and here i agree with keir starmer and i would take issue with some of your reports, i wouldn't call these people protestor, they haven't come to protest, they come to intimidate, they come to attack, they have come to cause fear around that of course is completely illegitimate and different from protest and to the vast majority of crowds, the vast majority of crowds aren't violent and people don't necessarily become more violent in crowds, what tends to happen, is that in crowds, people begin to stop acting in terms of individual personality, and much more in terms of the shared belief,

ideology if you like, this is a right—wing crowd, with a pathological ideology, reflected in pathological ideology, reflected in pathological behaviour, so the pathology is at the level of the beliefs of the group, it is not at the level of herd psyche.- beliefs of the group, it is not at the level of herd psyche. there have been peeple — the level of herd psyche. there have been peeple who — the level of herd psyche. there have been people who said _ the level of herd psyche. there have been people who said they - the level of herd psyche. there have been people who said they turned i the level of herd psyche. there have| been people who said they turned up to protest about immigration and that what they saw sickened then. they didn't realise it was going to turn, take a turn like that, to become disorderly, to become violent. ., , ., become disorderly, to become violent. . violent. that is a really important oint, violent. that is a really important point. because — violent. that is a really important point, because i— violent. that is a really important point, because i think _ violent. that is a really important point, because i think it - violent. that is a really important point, because i think it is- point, because i think it is important we don't treat everybody in crowds as the same. 0ne important we don't treat everybody in crowds as the same. one of the things that has happened in the past, not in these events but in the mast, is that the police have seen all crowd members as dangerous, because there is some dangerous people among them. they have clamped down on the crowd as a whole and alienated people, led people who didn't intend to be vile to become violent and they have learned from that. but policing has become more

fist skated. it —— sophisticated. it talks about facilitating groups with a genuine protest, they have liaison police and you might have seen the liaison police in some of your reports, who are there to talk to crowds and understand who they are and what they want. the problem is there are limits to that when people don't want dialogue who aren't there to protest but there to attack an one of the targets is the police, because they see the police as their enemy. what impact does media coverage like ours have on either encouraging or discouraging people to turn up on the streets?— the streets? well, i think it de -ends the streets? well, i think it de pends on _ the streets? well, i think it de pends on what _ the streets? well, i think it de pends on what you _ the streets? well, i think it de pends on what you show, - the streets? well, i think it de pends on what you show, first| the streets? well, i think it de l pends on what you show, first of the streets? well, i think it de - pends on what you show, first of all i would appeal to you not to call them press tors, adds keir starmer said, as i have said, they are not protestors, and to call them protestors, and to call them protestors i think is profoundly misleading and to discredit a long tradition of legitimate and peaceful

and important protests which has made society better in many ways, i think it is also important to make the point that what is going on is very specific to these crowds, because again, when you look at crowds psychology crowd psychology is there when people are cleaning up the streets as well as when they are attacking the street, the difference is one has an ideology of hate and an ideology of violence, has another has a vision of community and places, has to do with solidarity and helping each other, and i think on the whole, what we have seen, and this is true of immigration as well, that most people are pro immigration, the irony is over recent years attitudes to immigration have become more positive, the people tend to see immigrants a as boon rather than a menace to the country, and britain is one of the more liberal countries t irony is most people believe other

people are ain't immigration and thatis people are ain't immigration and that is because we are very often highlight events which are more conflict eventual, which are more news worthy, you know the adage if it bleeds it leads, that leads to more coverage of those whoa are violently anti—immigration, more coverage of those whoa are violentlyanti—immigration, not violently anti—immigration, not coverage violentlyanti—immigration, not coverage of the majority in this country, who are decent people, who are concerned and who care for those refugees, those migrants who come from terrible circumstances, to this country. and who on the whole contribute greatly to this country, if we didn't have migrant, then our care service would fall apart, our nhs would fall apart. most of us who have parents who might have been cared for by migrants, so it is really important not to highlight the exception, not to highlight the more dramatic negative instances but to show that actually most people as i say are pro migrant around if you do that we will not only realise we

are pro migrant we will realise those round us are more pro migrant and that leads us to be more likely to show solidarity and support then and stand up against the types of violence we have seen in the last few days. violence we have seen in the last few da s. ., , ., few days. professor, good to get our few days. professor, good to get your insightful— few days. professor, good to get your insightful thank _ few days. professor, good to get your insightful thank you - few days. professor, good to get your insightful thank you for - few days. professor, good to getj your insightful thank you for your time. ., ~' ,, now it's time for a look at today's sport. somebody has been very quick! noah lyles has won the olympic 100 metres title.

and he didn't lead a race in paris until the very final frame of the final. the american has added olympic gold to his world title... but he only won by five thousands of a second in a race that had a blanket finish. all eight runners within point 1—2 of lyles winning in 9:79... a personal best. and after failing to come first in either his heat or the semi final. chasing down jamaica's kishane thompson to beat him right on the line was the first time the world champion had been ahead in any of his three races in paris. another american fred kerley claimed the bronze. ukraine's yaroslava mahukhich has added the 0lypmic highjump gold to the world record she broke in the same city less than a month ago. it also completes her trophy cabinet, as she cleared two meters to beat australia's nicola 0lyslagers having had fewer failures. mahuchikh fled her home in dnipro after russia's invasion of ukraine two years ago. novak djokovic has won the one remaining major title that was missing from his collection. he's become just the fifth player to complete the "�*golden slam' of winning all four major titles and an olympic gold medal in singles, after a stunning win over carlos alcaraz at roland garros. djokovic went into this match having lost the wimbledon final to alcarazjust last month, but at 37 found the extra gear in two tie breaks to win serbia's

second gold in paris, which he greeted with floods of tears, and described as his greatest sporting achievement. now at age 37, you know, with 21—year—old that is probably the best player in the world right now, winning roland garros and wimbledon back—to—back and playing incredible tennis, when i take everything in consideration, this probably is the biggest sporting success i have ever had in my career. g i have ever had in my career. g meanwhile, another superstar of their sport has added an olympic title to their trophy collection. scottie scheffler has won the golf gold for the usa after an astounding final round of 62 at le golf national. his score of 19 under par was enough to take him to the top of the leaderboard. the world number one had to wait to see if anyone could match him, but a bogey on the 17th

for tommy fleetwood put the british player a stroke behind. scheffler, a two time major winner, is now an olympic champion. japan's hideki matsuyama got the bronze. the usa ended top of the olympic swimming medals table after two more golds on the final night, both won with world records. while the first winner of the night was sweden's sarah sjoestroem. she sprinted to the 50 metres freestyle title, going one better than her silver in toyko. it's sjoestroem's third olympic gold and her second in paris, after winning the 100 metres title. australia's meg harris was second and the bronze went to china's zhang yufei. germany'sjessica von bredow—werndl successfully defended her title in the individual dressage, an event that took place without the only other person to claim the gold since 2012, double olympic champion charlotte dujardin of britain, suspended for "excessively" whipping a horse. the top of the podium, though, was the same as tokyo three years ago, with bredow—werndl beating out fellow german isabell werth for gold, while great britain's lottie fry won bronze. it's her third olympic

medal and a fifth overall in the equestrian events for britain in paris. and england opener zak crawley has been ruled out of the test series against sri lanka later this month, with a fractured finger. crawley suffered the injury while attempting to take a catch in the third test against west indies last week. dan lawrence will open alongside ben duckett in crawley�*s absence, with the first match against sri lanka on august 21st. and that's all the sport for now. let's get more on the olympics now, and that men's 100 metre sprint final. let's speak tojoel fearon, former british 100 metre sprinter and former 0lympic bobsledder. it is good to talk to you, what did

you make of the extraordinary 100 metre men's final where noah lyles just, just by a hair's breath beat kishane thompso. it just, just by a hair's breath beat kishane thompso.— just, just by a hair's breath beat kishane thompso. just, just by a hair's breath beat kishane thomso. . , , , , . kishane thompso. it was superb, that race could have _ kishane thompso. it was superb, that race could have gone _ kishane thompso. it was superb, that race could have gone to _ kishane thompso. it was superb, that race could have gone to all _ kishane thompso. it was superb, that race could have gone to all eight - race could have gone to all eight competitor, they were all at the quality to win, and i think it says so much about noah lyles, he is a big talker, he does talk a lot, so to go out there, and back it up on the biggest stage in the world, he wasn't my favourite sprinter but i have so much more respect for him watching that and seeing how he fought to the absolute last breath, so it was superb, much anticipated and i had no idea who was going to win, it was crazy.— win, it was crazy. photo finish, extremely _ win, it was crazy. photo finish, extremely close, _ win, it was crazy. photo finish, extremely close, five - win, it was crazy. photo finish, i extremely close, five thousandth win, it was crazy. photo finish, - extremely close, five thousandth of a second in fact. to what extent them being held at the start for

sunday, but as the day continued, sunshine came through, and this is richmond on thames but it could be almost anywhere in england and wales, and some of eastern scotland, threatening skies though, further north and west as you can see in north and west as you can see in north berwick the sign that rain is just round the corner, and in actual fact not only rain but winds, gusts in excess of 45mph in northern ireland and western scotland. all tied into this area of low pressure, and that is going to linger first thing on monday morning, so that means the rain could be heavy, particularly across western scotla nd, particularly across western scotland, a brighter yellows and greens de noting the intensity of the rainfall, we could see two to three inches of rain before the front clears through, the rain a little more showery in nature in eastern scotland and it will be a narrow band, but intense rainfall moving through northern ireland. some drizzle on west facing costs, but at the same time, again, that

cloud will tend to 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 trapping into very warm area coming in from the near continent, it will turn increasingly more humid as we go through the afternoon and temperatures may peak in eastern enjoys harder as high as 26 degree, cooler and fresher north and west as that frontal system continues to move steadily eastwards, now it will just ease to a narrow intense band of rain through the nike, but because it has been so warm an humid by day, could be an uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep and that front will be there on tuesday morning, good news for gardeners out there, some welcome rain hopefully there ings shire and south—east england. not much but hopefully enough to keep the plants happy. brighter conditions behind, a few scattered showers and highing between 16 and 25 celsius 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 systems, staying up to the north, further south we mightjust continue to see high pressure clinging on, giving the best of the drier, brighterand clinging on, giving the best of the drier, brighter and warmer weather at times.

this is bbc news, the headlines.

ten police officers are injured as far—right protests descend into violence in english cities. around 150 people have been arrested — and the warning from police — there will be more. 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 theirfaces — 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 breadth — noah lyle speeds into the men's100 metre final — securing gold for team usa. you are watching bbc news. we start with our breaking

news from the uk — where there have been more violent far right protests in england. since saturday night — police have made 147 arrests — and that number is expected to rise. in middlesbrough protestors smashed windows of cars and houses, and threw bricks at police, and in rotherham, hundreds of demonstrators clashed with riot police before storming a hotel housing asylum seekers. we will have more on this throughout the evening here on bbc news. let's speak to abrarjavid, he's a spokesperson for the rotherham muslim community forum. thank you forjoining us. what is your reaction to the scenes you have seenin your reaction to the scenes you have seen in your town? it is your reaction to the scenes you have seen in your town?— seen in your town? it is absolutely horrendous. _ seen in your town? it is absolutely horrendous, to _ seen in your town? it is absolutely horrendous, to be _ seen in your town? it is absolutely horrendous, to be honest. - seen in your town? it is absolutely horrendous, to be honest. it is- seen in your town? it is absolutely j horrendous, to be honest. it is the sort of thing that brings back memories with regards to rotherham time in 2014 where we had similar

marches in our town where they were vandalizing shops, attacking muslim women on the streets so almost opening up old wounds and some of the racism that we saw ten years ago. it is absolutely shocking and quite frightening. you ago. it is absolutely shocking and quite frightening.— ago. it is absolutely shocking and quite frightening. you mention that eriod of quite frightening. you mention that period of time. _ quite frightening. you mention that period of time, about _ quite frightening. you mention that period of time, about ten _ quite frightening. you mention that period of time, about ten years - quite frightening. you mention that | period of time, about ten years ago. just as a reminder, that there were gangs of men who, over many years, many of those men were of pakistani heritage, not all of them, of course who targeted young white girls for abuse. of course that is why rotherham was in the news, sadly for a long time. you say that is part of the reason that there is a shadow hanging over the town at times still? ~ ., hanging over the town at times still? ~ . ., hanging over the town at times still? . . ., _ , hanging over the town at times still? . m, m, my , still? what we are saying is when the protesters —

mode to regard that. —— racist. there may be people out there who are very disgruntled and ijust stand there may be issues around recession and the cost of living and there are so many issues that need to be spoken about, but it seems to have manifested itself in all of this racism but it is always immigrants and muslims seem to bear the brunt of it. this immigrants and muslims seem to bear the brunt of it— the brunt of it. as we have said before, some _ the brunt of it. as we have said before, some of _ the brunt of it. as we have said before, some of the _ the brunt of it. as we have said before, some of the online - the brunt of it. as we have said - before, some of the online rumours following those tragic fatal stabbings of the three little girls in southport last week that the alleged perpetrator was a muslim migrant, totally unfounded and not the case of all. you mentioned there are many things in common perhaps with people who have come out on the streets. we must differentiate between protesters and writers some of these people are not demonstrators at all, they are thugs as far as the is concerned. how do

we talk about these issues that face everybody then? given that, for some people, it is bound up in migration? it is very important that we don't lose ourselves in all of this madness. we found but we were going through the period that we went through the period that we went through in rotherham is that that are good people out there who have genuine issues that they want to express, but they feel the authorities may not be listening, they feel heartened, forever reason it is, but for whatever reason that vacuum is being filled by elements that want to cause divisions between communities —— hardened. this is where we need to find some sort of meaningful dialogue because i am

sure we share enough commonalities, does not matter whether you are muslim, pakistani, english, that we are probably going to have the same kind of issues, but it has been hijacked, unfortunately, by the likes of tommy robinson who is exploiting these issues. forget tommy, there has either been political rhetoric out there that has been legitimising these issues. take for instance suella braverman or the other adding fuel to the fire and being responsible for the language they choose. certainly the home secretary _ language they choose. certainly the home secretary and _ language they choose. certainly the home secretary and the _ language they choose. certainly the home secretary and the prime - home secretary and the prime minister today have been very robust in how they say they are going to challenge the sort of disorder on the streets that the police will seek out those responsible. you have made it clear that this is a minority of people, they are violent, dangerous and threatening.

to what extent are you seeing support for the majority of people in rotherham. after today we saw in middlesbrough around 300 people turning out to protect a mosque there. ~ �* there. like i said, we can't lose there. like i said, we can't lose the focus _ there. like i said, we can't lose the focus on — there. like i said, we can't lose the focus on the _ there. like i said, we can't lose the focus on the humanity - there. like i said, we can't lose the focus on the humanity that | there. like i said, we can't lose i the focus on the humanity that is out there. unfortunately it gets out there and it whips up frenzy between there and it whips up frenzy between the two. but after southport into attacks on the mosques and how the southport community came together and said not in our name. it is important these positive messages get out there because the vast majority of people are useful and law—abiding and coexist. unfortunately, it seems like social media hasjust unfortunately, it seems like social media has just taken over and media hasjust taken over and has spread like wildfire in i think the mainstream media needs to be a lot more proactive and actually showing what is real other in terms of the

majority and that is the vast majority and that is the vast majority are peaceful coexist and have a lot more in common rather than having differences. hour have a lot more in common rather than having differences. how likely is it, do you _ than having differences. how likely is it, do you think, _ than having differences. how likely is it, do you think, that _ than having differences. how likely is it, do you think, that your- is it, do you think, that your community will need to take advantage of the extra guarantee of security that the government is offering to mosques? i security that the government is offering to mosques?— security that the government is offering to mosques? i have a bit of... i'm offering to mosques? i have a bit of--- in a _ offering to mosques? i have a bit of... i'm a bit— offering to mosques? i have a bit of... i'm a bit sceptical— offering to mosques? i have a bit of... i'm a bit sceptical about - offering to mosques? i have a bit of... i'm a bit sceptical about thej of... i'm a bit sceptical about the security. ifeel at of... i'm a bit sceptical about the security. i feel at the of... i'm a bit sceptical about the security. ifeel at the moment, i feel like it is a suggestion we are seeing an unprecedented scale, the attacks on immigrants of muslim communities and our mosques. a few security guards is not going to solve that. to me, that is may be a token mystic gesture, maybe in the right direction, but i think this level of threat almost borders

terrorism because there is a massive political agenda against a particular group and i think it is definitely political. i think we need a more robust approach in dealing with this because we feel like as a muslim community, we have been let down in the past with the rise of islamophobia so a guards estate by our site in the mosques will not sorrow this. == estate by our site in the mosques will not sorrow this. -- solve this. we have seen _ will not sorrow this. -- solve this. we have seen it _ will not sorrow this. -- solve this. we have seen it working _ will not sorrow this. -- solve this. we have seen it working places i we have seen it working places particularly in rotherham. that is . reat. particularly in rotherham. that is treat. the particularly in rotherham. that is great. the police _ particularly in rotherham. that is great. the police are _ particularly in rotherham. that is. great. the police are underfunded. and from what i saw on facebook life they were so under resources while they were so under resources while the attacks were happening and i think the police need to be resourced a lot better. we need to see more bobbies on the beat and that may be a separate issue, but the police have been fantastic

because as a community after 2014, they made their errors during the way they handled the far right marches, but they have been very

rend as we go through the end of the week, with lows and frontal systems, staying up to the north, further south we mightjust continue to see high pressure clinging on, giving the best of the drier, brighter and warmer weather at times. these people do not represent middlesbrough, they are thugs intent on causing violent disorder, harm and fear their message of hate and division will fail, now, more than ever, we will together. our diversity is our strength and we will prevail. the words we have received in the last few minutes or so. in the last half hour, from the police and crime commissioner for cleveland, you may also have heard my, our correspondent referring to something else that has been happening, we arejust something else that has been happening, we are just starting to get some information come in, but there has been an incident in tamworth, in staffordshire in the west midlands, it seems there has been some sort of focus on a hotel there, as well, there may be some

disorder, we are looking into it. we will bring you the details when we get them. earlier we heard some of what the prime minister keir starmer had to say. let us hear his full statement about the violence which he labelled far right thuggery. i utterly condemn the far right thuggery we have seen this weekend. be in no doubt those that have participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. about the police will be making arrests. individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow. i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves.

this is not protest. it is organised, violent thuggery and it has no place on our streets or online right now. there are attacks happening on a hotel in rotherham, marauding gangs intent on law breaking or worse. windows smashed. fires 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've seen muslim communities targeted attacks on mosques. other minority communities singled out. nazi salutes in the street, attacks on the police, wanton violence alongside racist rhetoric.

so no, i won't 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 faith. i know how frightening this must be. i want you to know that this violent mob do not represent our country, and we will bring them to justice. 0ur police deserve our support as they tackle any and all violent disorder that flares up. whatever the apparent cause or motive motivation, we make no distinction. crime is crime and this government will tackle it. thank you. we've seen a hotel being set fire to in rotherham today and being broken into. can you say that the policing operation has been a success?

and what more can the government do to stop this? well, as a government, we've had meetings all weekend and in the latter part of last week with law enforcement, with police, to make sure the necessary support and arrangements are in place. we do have standing arrangements for law enforcement, which means that we can get arrests, charged, remands in custody and convictions done very quickly. i, myself, was part of that in 2011 when i was director of public prosecutions. and i'm determined we will do whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice as quickly as possible. and do you believe everyone that is taking part in this disorder is part of the far right? and does any of the scenes do any of the scenes we are seeing at the moment give you pause for thought about divisions in the country or how you approach other, broader domestic policy areas? if you target people because of the colour of their skin or their faith, then that is far

right and i'm prepared to say so. but it doesn't matter what apparent motivation there is, this is violence. it is not protest. it doesn't matter what the motivation is. the motivation for the vast majority of people in this country is to see their street safe. and that's what i'm determined that we will deliver. thank you. prime minister. is it possible that tougher sentences could be given out to rioters, as they were in 2011, to act as a deterrent? i think there needs to be the full force of the law, and i think it needs to be swift. what happened in 2011 was that we were able to see individuals who took part in violence, arrested, charged, remanded and convicted very swiftly. standing arrangements are in place for that, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that the message

is absolutely clear that if you're taking part in this violence, you will regret it and you'll be brought to justice as quickly as possible. 0ur reporter 0lly constable has been close to the police lines in rotherham and i spoke to him a short time ago about what he has been seeing. they've tried to move the people away from the hotel that is behind me. i will turn around for a second and i will show the amount of ground they have been able to make up with fence with screws and nails of it now being thrown. i will show you the amount of ground they have made up. that building on the right—hand side is the hotel, a white building on the right—hand side. the road is littered with items that has been used towards policed. and it is a decent amount of ground that they have recovered on the sides of the hotel itself is safe now. police using that as an opportunity for them to catch their breath, but obviously a lot more officers here trying to push that group back

further and further down the road at every opportunity they get to push those people back, they are taking it. we have seen police here with south and west yorkshire have been brought in as well so please farces from across the country helping out. i was just catching up on some of the details here and south yorkshire police, at least ten officers were injured earlier in what they described as deplorable acts of violence in that hotel you have just shown us. he could see quite clearly that rectangular white building. 0ne officer was left unconscious after a head injury according to the constabulary and with other officers with suspected fractured bones. so these projectiles being thrown, they looked like so would, fence posts, but they are doing damages to the officers. the statement from south

yorkshire police saying we absolute contempt this youth disorder we witness with our and 700 people in attendance on the road you are on, i am guessing, large been close to the window of the hotel satellite causing a small fire later extinguished and missiles including glass bottles and beer cans work at her officers. so far no reports of any of the hotel staff or residents in that hotel being injured in any of this disorder. many of those in the crowd chanting, get them out. as they smashed windows at that holiday in express. how far is it from the co—ordinates comes hard to tell from the photograph is on the pictures issued as the distance the police have managed to make up. how long has it taken them to reestablish that gap? sat; has it taken them to reestablish that aa-7 , has it taken them to reestablish thata-a? , has it taken them to reestablish that .a.7 m, ,~,:::: has it taken them to reestablish thatu-a? ,~,:::: , that gap? say it is about 300 yards the have that gap? say it is about 300 yards they have managed _ that gap? say it is about 300 yards they have managed to _ that gap? say it is about 300 yards they have managed to push - that gap? say it is about 300 yards they have managed to push peoplej they have managed to push people backin they have managed to push people back in this particular way. please.

back in this particular way. they managed to make about 300 mountain may be 40 yards or so part of the crisis to be set on fire as police moved in to stamp it out. that kind of distances taken a significant amount of time i've been here since half past three when disorder was still happening at the face of the hotel building, windows are being smashed when i was here. that seems to have now been such a long time ago because police at every opportunity have made up that distance so on the other side of the road this is heading north to the southbound is virtually empty. they close the road very early on to stop cars coming down, but those groups of people who were gathering slowly started to disperse as well in parts of the housing estate that were either side of the road, using as an

opportunity to try to flank the police and get to be of the court in which many managed to do. it seems to be where the majority of people are now and according as he could tell his trying to push people back but where we are there are people trying to flank around the woodland that runs alongside the main road so the police are constantly having to be on their toes to work out where people are. we had a police helicopter on all day. there's been to helicopters at a time trying to provide lots of information to the officers. august a very dynamic situation and, for so many people here, it has been absolutely nonstop work in a very dangerous position. for people who don't know rotherham is and south yorkshire and it is a population of 100,000 people so this is quite a large town, but thankfully, it is a localised

problem the police are having to contend with. as far as you know, what are residents in other parts of the town doing. to what extent have they been staying at home to keep out of the way?— out of the way? rotherham as a interesting _ out of the way? rotherham as a interesting town _ out of the way? rotherham as a interesting town and _ out of the way? rotherham as a interesting town and south - interesting town and south yorkshire. many years ago there was incidents with child sexual expectation with groups predominantly asian men who were targeting white women leading to violence in the town so rotherham seems to already seems to have its name tainted because of illegal behaviour and subsequent trials of people have been sent to jail for a long time because of that. what we know will rotherham people here and are proud from where they are admin people from south yorkshire are so these signs fully vaccines we are seeing with people throwing items i police will definitely upset the

law—abiding people who practice a bear from these areas. they will be disappointed to see these kinds of scenes were police on the street are being attacked by people throwing anything they can get their hands on. like we said before, people have been injured. many people that we have seen, many police officers have been injured, but members of the public who were not involved in the spines have been injured as well. i reporter who was with the police in accra to earlier this evening. let me bring you an update from sunderland. north and are saying tonight that six people have not been charged in connection in what they described as disgraceful scenes of violent disorder on sunderland on friday. a police office was looted and a citizens advice bureau office was satellite. they say the number of arrests made over the disorder is now 14. the people arrested will appear before the magistrates on monday. the chief superintendent of

northumbria police says we have made further arrests as a full investigation to the appalling incident on friday continues. i briefed sure the public that our investigative efforts will not stop further arrests expected. we will not tolerate the behaviour seen in the city centre now or ever we will do our utmost to trace those responsible and bring them to justice. of course the by resisting absolutely terrifying for a great many people. we mentioned to you what they are trying to do is look into some reports of a fire that appears to have started at a hotel in tamworth in staffordshire in the west midlands. it appears to be a hotel that accommodates asylum—seekers which of course was the focus of that violence in rotherham earlier today. the police in tamworth have posted on x this evening in the last few minutes, we are urging members of the public to

avoid the area around the holiday inn in tamworth as specialist officers continue to deal with violent acts of thuggery. that is the language being used many times today by politicians and police leaders. there is much more on the bbc news website and the bbc news app. if you would like to take a look at the live page where our reporters have been reporting in real time throughout the day, those various demonstrations and riots that have broken out in various english cities and towns today. we have seen, of course police officers out in force, different can is supporting their neighbouring counties as they are faced with extraordinary scenes of violent behaviour. stay with us here on bbc news. hello.

a cloudy start for many this sunday, but as the day continued sunshine 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 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 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.

participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. live from london. this is bbc news.
