done cannot be viewed in have done cannot be viewed in isolation. it must be viewed against the background of unrest and disorder in the country, this was your contribution to that disorder. your conduct and that of your group was designed to stir up racial hatred. it took place at a time when the social climate was particularly sensitive. by the 3rd of august already been disorder in southport, manchester, hartlepool, aldershot, london, liverpooland manchester, hartlepool, aldershot, london, liverpool and sunderland. i will now turn to and following the sentencing guidelines. in terms of culpability, ifind that sentencing guidelines. in terms of culpability, i find that this falls into category a since it involves the targeting of individuals by a group and it was a sustained

incident. it also falls into category one for harm, since people feared serious violence not only on that day but on subsequent days and that day but on subsequent days and that starting point for a category one a offence without the aggravating factor of racial aggravation is a high level community order with a range of up to 26 weeks imprisonment. given the context and the background of this incident and others around the country, i would have placed this offence at the top of the range. i must now consider the level of racial or religious aggravation involved and apply an appropriate uplift to the sentence in accordance with the guidelines. i am careful not to double count. i find that

racial or religious aggravation was the predominant motivation for the offence and you were associated with a group which was promoting hostility based upon colour, race, religion. in those circumstances, i will increase the starting point that i consider to be appropriate. as i have said, your position is aggravated by your convictions for similar offending in 2012, for which you received a custodial sentence. at the forefront of my mind are the purposes of sentence, which in this case are punishment and deterrence. in mitigation, i take into account that you pleaded guilty at the first available opportunity, and you will receive full credit, that being one third. i also take into consideration your letter indicating

your remorse. i take account of the comments of the probation officer that you are a single man living alone, but with responsibilities for alone, but with responsibilities for a child with whom you have regular contact. you say that this behaviour was caused by intoxication, but i note that similar convictions in the past. you are expressed by the probation service to be at high risk of reoffending. you are not in employment, although apparently fit and well. i will now turn to the sentence. would you stand please? given the context in which this incident occurred and the sustained nature of your conduct, which was designed to stir up racial hatred at a time of heightened social tension and immediate custodial sentence cannot be avoided. —— an immediate

custodial sentence. the sentence that i pass has been reduced by one third to reduce your guilty plea. the sentence is one of eight months imprisonment and you will serve up to half your sentence in custody before you are released on licence. —— to reflect your guilty plea. if you fail to follow the conditions of your license, you can be returned to prison to serve some or all of the remainder of your custodial term. the victim surcharge applies and i will make an enforcement order. would you please take him down? that was jordan would you please take him down? that wasjordan plain being sentenced to eight months' imprisonment at leeds crown court byjudge guy kearl kc. thejudge said he had been caught on cctv footage outside leeds art gallery on the 21st of august as part of an edl group and was seen to

climb ona part of an edl group and was seen to climb on a barrier and make monkey gestures and insulting comments and also imitated muslim prayer and the judge said this was insulting behaviour which caused alarm and distress to others. —— on the 2nd of august. 0ne witness said she had been traumatised by his behaviour and the judge gave out an eight—month sentence tojordan plain taking into account, he said, the context of civil unrest that was going on and also the sustained nature of the behaviour, went handing down this jail sentence, judge guy kearl kc has givenjordan plain eight months in prison for his own —— unrest which arose after stabbings in southport.

here's a reminder of who's been sentenced so far today. this is adnan ghafoorr. he's 31 years old and has been jailed for 18 months for affray. he was was also jailed for an additional 12 months for breaching a suspended sentence. alongside him in the courtroom was this man, sameer ali, 21 years old, also jailed for affray, for which he was given a sentence of 20 months. soon after them this man, jordon parlour appeared in the same courtroom, in front of the same judge. he was also sentenced to 20 months in prison, but for a different offence — stiring up racial hatred. it's the first time someone has been jailed for comments made on social media in relation to the riots. the judge said thatjordan parlour encouraged people online to attack the britannia hotel in leeds, where a number of refugees and asylum seekers were being housed. bbc verify and the bbc data teams have been looking into who the rioters are and whatjail sentences they've received.

here at bbc verify, we have been looking into who was involved in the riots following the fatal stabbing of three gals in southport and you can see we have identified some of those sentence in connection with the disorder and mapped where people have been arrested. —— three girls. almost 500 people have been arrested and close to 150 have been charged over the unrest and the data we have analysed relates to 19 separate cities and towns across england and northern ireland and it is worth mentioning that online offences won't assign a location so let's look at this graph. we have analysed 116 people that have been charged for participating in organised riots and you will notice the offences listed are actually higher than the

number of individuals and that is because one individual can be charged with multiple offences and we have found that 94% of those charged in the cases we analysed were men and by the disorder was the most common charged with 69 counts in total and other alleged offences include 1a counts of assaulting an emergency worker and 12 relating to the possession of a weapon and we also see the section in grey and this is because there are lots of other offences like arson and affray. a man from cumbria has already been sentenced for 12 weeks in prison for posting racially aggravated online content on social media. that is according to police. just to reiterate, this is the latest data we have available. more people connected to the unrest are expected to be sentenced today and we will continue to update this story and data as we know more. bbc newsbeat�*s presenter pria rai has been speaking to younger listeners to her show all week, and hearing their views on the riots and protests. it has been a real range of opinions

and i think the first thing i really noticed was the volume of people who wanted to get in and express their feelings, personal experiences. the first thing that really started coming from early in the week was people feeling scared and having this kind of inherent feeling of fear, even if they are not in places where at that point there had been flashpoints, clashes, riots and violence and particularly within the british south asian community, i think because it raised conversations of experiences perhaps of racism, discrimination, that kind of racism, discrimination, that kind of feeling of intimidation that their parents or grandparents had experienced, say, in the uk in the 70s and 80s, then rethink those conversations and realising they are witnessing, for some of them, that feeling first—hand that they had only ever heard about, so particularly interesting, i spoke to an 18—year—old who lives in an area

of birmingham where there is a strong south asian community, called alum rock, saying i am born and raised here and this is the first time i'm kind of questioning my identity and some of it is based off of what people are seeing on the news and some of what is being spoken about online and that was particularly interesting that across all british asian communities, particularly for muslim communities and young muslims we have spoken to, british muslims, and i spoke to one young woman who is a british muslim and she spoke about that has made her question herself. tote and she spoke about that has made her question herself.— and she spoke about that has made her question herself. we have a riot here today. — her question herself. we have a riot here today. and _ her question herself. we have a riot here today, and i _ her question herself. we have a riot here today, and i said _ her question herself. we have a riot here today, and i said riot _ her question herself. we have a riot here today, and i said riot and - her question herself. we have a riot here today, and i said riot and not l here today, and i said riot and not protest. _ here today, and i said riot and not protest. and — here today, and i said riot and not protest, and i will continue to refer— protest, and i will continue to refer to — protest, and i will continue to refer to a _ protest, and i will continue to refer to a riot because these people have no_ refer to a riot because these people have no other motives then riots, so these _

to actually go and have conversations with people that are chosen to come and demonstrate and just opened that conversation. they were asking questions about her religion, about islam, she was asking what their motivation was, and before you knew it, in her experience, what she was telling me is that they were able to have that conversation and see things from each other�*s perspective a bit more so what has been good, with all the happiness that people have been hearing, the fear, as might listeners have been telling me, there is a will to be persistent and try to keep things going in a more positive and less violent direction. just every cop —— a recap are not used. jordan plain sentenced at leeds crown court to eight

months for racially aggravated intentional harassment. thejudge said his language was designed to stir up racial hatred and so he was sentenced to eight months. will be joining the bbc verify team. do stay with us here on bbc news.

police in northern ireland said they dealt with violence on thursday night and incidents of rachel hatred. bricks were thrown and the prime minister, sir keir starmer, says he plans to crack down on any

blind further incidents this weekend and a man has beenjailed for 18 months after he admitted to stirring up months after he admitted to stirring up racial hatred on social media by calling for an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers. —— racial hatred. the police say they are on as date of readiness. there have been a series of arrests in staffordshire this morning in connection with trouble last weekend. and the prime minister, on a visit to the metropolitan police, says officers are also prepared in case of further trouble this weekend, even though far—right demonstrations which had been

planned for the middle of this week largely failed to materialise. my message to the police, and all of those charged with responding to disorder is, "maintain that high alert". i am absolutely convinced that having the police officers in place these last few days in the right places, the swift justice that is being dispensed in our courts, have had a real impact. but we have to stay on high alert going into this weekend because we absolutely have to make sure that our communities are safe and secure, and feel safe and secure. this is the moment police arrest a 69—year—old rioter. william morgan had armed himself with a wooden cosh and joined a violent mob during the recent riots on merseyside. i'm english! he has now been jailed for two years and eight months. footage released by the crown prosecution service reveals the moment a library was torched in liverpool last saturday. with so many books inside, it didn't take long for the place to go up. it is being visited today by the business secretary. the public has already donated more than £200,000 to an online fundraiser to buy new books. we have a very diverse community that came together. last night in brighton, around 100 people attended a rally organised by stand up to racism. but despite the community support, some say they remain fearful.

there are members of my congregation and congregations across the country that are having to think twice about whether they can attend mosque, especially in the evenings. in this day and age, and in our country, nobody should be fearing to go to a place of worship, which are sanctuaries. these images have been released by humberside police of men they want to speak to. many of them were captured by tv cameras and on social media too. this man with the grey jumper around his neck was filmed with a police shield and is being cheered on to throw objects. and this man with a grey hoodie appears to be among a group of people attacking a car. police and politicians alike are hoping the stiff sentences being handed out to offenders, including those who stirred up hatred online, are acting as a deterrent to further trouble. we want to reassure our local communities that we are absolutely taking this seriously and that that level of disorder and public violence will not be tolerated within staffordshire police. but officers are braced for what could be another

challenging weekend. simon jones, bbc news. meanwhile, a councillor in dartford, in kent, has been charged with one count of encouraging violent disorder after he was filmed addressing a crowd at a london demonstration on wednesday. 0ur political correspondent, ben wright has more. rickyjones was a former labour councillor in dartford, kent, and was among thousands of people who joined a counter demonstration against racism and violence in walthamstow, east london, on wednesday evening. but video footage posted online showed the 57—year—old telling a crowd that far—right demonstrators needed to have their throats cut. he was arrested by the met yesterday when a labour party spokesman issued a statement saying this was completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated and he has since been

it is a decent enough day for most of us, all though a little bit windy with scattered showers across northern parts of the uk and it will turn really hot across southern parts of the uk and we have brisk westerly winds across scotland and the irish sea and we have some showers earlier on here on the radar and we also had thick cloud earlier on in the south and that is a weather front which has now cleared towards the east and it is much brighter. and the temperatures this afternoon are mid—20s in the south—east of england and low 20s in the north—west but the teens for scotland and northern ireland. it should be a fine friday evening although in that north—west although in the north—west of scotland the showers will continue and the western isles too. later in the night we are also expecting thicker cloud to spread into wales, central england and the south—west, and it will really be quite murky around some coasts with a bit of rain and drizzle forecast and the further east you are, the drier it will be. tomorrow starts off quite murky across the southern parts of the uk and the clouds should fade into the afternoon and so we will

call it bright rather than sunny although the south coast of england should be sunny and in scotland, showers are expected and in northern ireland and the lake district i think it should be quite sunny tomorrow. now, the forecast for sunday, i think a generally sunny day across the bulk of the uk. the winds will start to come in from the south, so pushing hot air from the near continent, and we will probably hit 30 degrees in the south on sunday, not in the north, though. there is that hot stream of air out of spain through france and spreading to other parts of europe as well and this will be a short—lived heatwave, so a couple of days of some quite intense heat, sunday into monday. but not everywhere — look at that, storms are forecast for parts of northern ireland and scotland and maybe the north of england throughout monday. the heat will be reserved to more central, eastern and south—eastern parts of england and 33 is possible but more typically it is around 30 and then we have the high 20s further north across northern ireland and scotland and that heat doesn't last very long.

and it looks as though next week, we will have weather fronts lining up like buses heading our way.
