�* violent violent disorder is �*violent disorder is five years for violent disorder is five years and you get a discount for an early plea of guilty of about 30%, so essentially this is the toughest sentence that this judge could have given and a sentence of imprisonment for three years as a substantial sentence and in line with what i would have expected it the courts to be doing in response to this wave of criminal disorder.— criminal disorder. people in various communities— criminal disorder. people in various communities are _ criminal disorder. people in various communities are taking _ criminal disorder. people in various communities are taking stock- criminal disorder. people in various communities are taking stock of. criminal disorder. people in various| communities are taking stock of the damage done to homes, cars and businesses. mark denton has this. thugs surround a car in middlesbrough and set it alight. while this was happening to his car on sunday afternoon, brendan was in the middle of a 12 hour shift as a carer,

looking after elderly people in the town. so when i came back home, i saw what's happened. ijust only saw the remnants of it, it was no longer a car but scrap. i couldn't even recognise it. i went to the bathroom, i cried because i know how much it took me to be able to save this money and be able to get this. "what am i even doing here?" that was the question i asked. "what am i even doing here? i'm here taking care of somebody. i'm here taking care of people, making sure they are okay. they are elderly." while the disturbances have left an impact on brendan, this community campaigner who's previously worked with the united nations, says it's not only cars and buildings that'll need repairing. the media discourse and the political language being used around immigration and islam hasn't helped the situation. and quite literally, we are picking up the pieces of what happened on sunday. but moving forward, there is a real desire to change the situation we find ourselves in, and that's only going to come through education and everyone pulling together. three of the region's police forces have now faced the difficult task of keeping order, and their resources could become more stretched, according to one expert.

this is going to be a challenge for us moving forward and some officers who are routinely employed and deployed in specialist roles which perhaps work in civilian clothing and the like, they mine find themselves drafted into uniform roles to bolster the numbers. but for brendan, at least, there is a happier ending. the care company he works for launched a fundraising appeal to raise £3,000 to get him a replacement car. we've raised £3,500, i think it has. so we've gone over. gone over what we what we initially expected and it was in the space of about 12 hours. so we just couldn't believe that that people could be so kind. i have come to realise that amidst the challenges and the difficulties that we pass through,

there are also good people. the images endure. but brendon�*s is a story of hope, a community that refuses to let violence define it. and we will have more coverage through the day but now we will look at the so called by now, pay later schemes and there are calls for greater regulation to try and protect people. with the details, nina warhurst. buy now pay later let you spread costs over small amounts of time, usually weeks or months, but debt charities and the government say tighter rules are needed. , ., . government say tighter rules are needed. , , ., , needed. new research shows companies like this are becoming _ needed. new research shows companies like this are becoming more _ needed. new research shows companies like this are becoming more popular. - like this are becoming more popular. this research found just over 10% of respondents have used buy now, pay later in the last 12 months. but who is using them? that figures rises to one in four of those on universal income and nearly one in five of

of scotland will bring a windy day across the northern half of the country and most of the showers will be here. fewer showers the further south you are. low pressure will bring a windy day across the northern half of the country are most of the showers will be here, that showers will fade out through the evening and we will see thicker cloud piling into wales and south—west england as the next weather front moves in and some splashes of rain by the time we reach dawn but we will import some slightly milder air to the southern areas, so the mid—teens in the south and between ten and 12 degrees further north. it's all tied in with another area of low pressure as weather fronts push in during the course of thursday but we start bright in northern and eastern areas and then the cloud begins to build through the morning, spreading to all areas with outbreaks of rain. pretty widespread rain, nothing too heavy but it could pep up across north—west england and southern and western scotland where it could be heavier later in the afternoon and a breezy day to come for all, windy in northern and western areas. temperature wise, the high teens in the north, low 20s

across the south because of the lack of sunshine, not as quite as warm this afternoon. and the rain clears out through thursday night and leaves a legacy of cloud, one or two showers across the north—west of scotland but we will pick up some warm air across southern areas so a muggy night to come across england and wales compared to what we have across scotland and northern ireland. for friday, we are in a run of west—south—westerly winds, so a bright and breezy day and sunshine around and a few showers in northern and western scotland, and the odd one for northern ireland perhaps for cumbria but largely dry elsewhere and dry for eastern scotland and some decent temperatures at the low to mid 20s as you can see, 25 or 26 degrees across the south—east. and that's the sign of things to come for england and wales as things are hotting up in the weekend. a brief and intense plume of hot air is expected to move north out of france. that could push temperatures into the low to mid 30s across the south—east of england but even the high 20s there for south wales.

but it will be short lived as temperatures return to normal next week.
