but next up , males in police in hartlepool.ring against females the world gone mad? we'll debate next. i'll be dealing with huw edwards in no uncertain terms at 10:00. but first, a huge protest has broken out in hartlepool as demonstrators throw bricks at a line of riot police. witnesses say a metal beam has been launched at officers during the unrest . men launched at officers during the unrest. men in launched at officers during the unrest . men in balaclavas are unrest. men in balaclavas are said to be hitting the police officers with huge wooden bats. this is very worrying development. of course we've seen disorder in southport. we saw chaos and disorder in leeds a couple of weeks ago. we've seen violence at manchester airport. have the police lost control of law and order in this country? let's get the views of mark littlewood, adam brooks and rebecca read, mark, here we go again. what is going on? >> well, i mean, look, as we were just saying earlier in the show about southport and leeds, i think there is this undercurren

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 t

two people, a man and a woman, were arrested for the hartlepool disorder, before the violence began lastcial media is good to see if there an opportunity to pre—empt. in those instances, and in middlesbrough yesterday, we took decisions to proactively arrest people before some of the issue that developed. we can also go into a phase very strongly during disorder for vigorous people on the scene as well. ~ . , ,. for vigorous people on the scene as well. ~ . , ., well. what is your message tonight to eo - le well. what is your message tonight to people who _ well. what is your message tonight to people who may _ well. what is your message tonight to people who may be _ well. what is your message tonight i to people who may be contemplating further disorder this week? there are 65 people _ further disorder this week? there are 65 people in _ further disorder this week? there are 65 people in our— further disorder this week? there are 65 people in our around i further disorder this week? tues are 65 people in our around that disorder and a number of them have been charged in some advantage.

the address is given for those three people were all in hartlepool, and again , also the, hartlepool,in, also the, the disorder that was reported in manchester outside a migrant hotel where a number of people were arrested. one person charged today with violent disorder and an assault on emergency service worker. his address was also in the manchester area. so you've got the prime minister standing up in that news conference and saying very clearly that these are far right groups who are travelling across the country to attend these events and cause violent disorder. yet the number, the people that we've seen so far at least being charged and appearing in court and their names and addresses coming out, would suggest actually that they are from the local area . local area. >> indeed. and of course, although this is just an incoming government, if we have a summer of chaos and violence on the streets, it won't be a good look for the new prime minister, and they'll be working hard to resist any perception that they've lost control already . already. >> no, it's deeply challenging for any

there was also unrest last night in hartlepool, that is about 150 kilometres or so from where i'm standingars this unrest is spinning to other parts of the uk. thank you very much. as will was describing there, there have been out of violent protest. as a result of this, sir keir starmer will be meeting senior police leaders later this afternoon following another night of rioting. more than 100 people arrested in central london, police clashing with those protesters in white or close to downing street. the —— in whitehall. the conditions set for the project had been breached. 0ur political correspondence has more. really quite ugly protest here in westminster last night, flares launched at the gates of downing street off whitehall, as you say, and at a statue of winston churchill, the former wartime prime minister as well. police say more than 100 people were arrested here in westminster, and that of course on top of the eight arrested in hartlepool, as you just heard there from will, last night. that public disorder and unrest and increasing violence spreading, notjust in southport but ac

crime rates across middlesbrough, hartlepool, stockton and redcar are the highest in the country and the most dangerous place in england for violent crime. great, great britain here, but the situation is not good at all. this is real england. we are the center of criminal activity in the uk and new statistics show that the crime rate recorded by claymoreland police is 141 out of people here who were victims of crime last year. with that in mind, this is almost 40% higher than the city of london's police notice crime rate and more than 50% higher.

>> so in other parts of the country, manchester, maybe hartlepool , south end, you have hartlepool, southce less ready to deal with these problems. and so that's why you might just argue the police's case. you may have different levels of policing. >> i think that's a fair point. but i think the suspicion here is that both the pro pro—hamas protests in london, and there were also the scenes that we saw the cenotaph yesterday, and there is a view that they're slightly differently policed, and i can see why people say that. and i think it's wrong, but they were entirely different. >> orders of magnitude. right. because the, the pro palestine protests where we are talking about mass numbers of people and about mass numbers of people and a much more diverse crowd, but they were placed differently. >> and the thing about policing with riot sticks, with riot shields, with mass formations, it creates a tension that engenders arrests. but the policing wasn't that keen on these protests. >> you don't see anything like that on a pro—palestine march. >> it's soft touch, it's soft soaping, and they d

crime rates across middlesbrough, hartlepool, stockton and redcar are the highest in the country and the most dangerous place in england for violent crime. here it's great, but the situation is not good at all. this is the real england. we are in middlesbrough, the biggest city, right in the heart of k. we are the center of uk criminal activity and new statistics show that the crime rate recorded by cleveland police is 1,417 cases per 1,000 people. this means that more than 14% of people who are here were victims of crime last year. considering this, this is almost 40% higher than the reported crime rate of the metropolitan police of london and more than 50% higher than the crime rate in england and wales. there is this area it has the highest crime rate, including sexual assault. the second rate of knife-related crimes and the fourth and worst rate of drug-related crimes in the country. here you immediately notice the big challenges facing cleveland. we were threatened by several people in broad daylight and in the hamlington area of ​​middlesbrough it didn't take long for the crime

we also did have that chap outside a hartlepool , chap outside a hartlepool, hotel. in the early hours of the morning? he'd passed through, i think 11 other european countries before, you know, we decided to give him asylum here, which was good of us, wasn't it? well in light of such circumstances, i am just wondering whether or not the refugees welcome brigade should be a little bit ashamed. joining me now is human rights lawyer, doctor shoaib khan. doctor shoaib, look, thank you very, very much , should the should the very much, should the should the refugees welcome brigade hang their heads in shame, making us all less safe ? oh, we have got all less safe? oh, we have got you on silence. i'm afraid, doctor shoaib. sorry about this. oh well, it's all right, i will. i will fill for time whilst we get doctor shoaib sorted. but it is a concern, isn't it, for everybody. which is that, you know, do a lot of those middle class luvvies who stand outside there with their banners, actually understand what necessarily is going on? i mean, it was a horrific attack in germany

we also did have that chap outside a hartlepool , chap outside a hartlepool, hotel.th in the early hours of the morning? he'd passed through, i think 11 other european countries before, you know, we decided to give him asylum here, which was good of us, wasn't it? well in light of such circumstances, i am just wondering whether or not the refugees welcome brigade should be a little bit ashamed. joining me now is human rights lawyer, doctor shoaib khan. doctor shoaib, look, thank you very, very much , should the should the very much, should the should the refugees welcome brigade hang their heads in shame, making us all less safe ? oh, we have got all less safe? oh, we have got you on silence. i'm afraid, doctor shoaib. sorry about this. oh well, it's all right, i will. i will fill for time whilst we get doctor shoaib sorted. but it is a concern, isn't it, for everybody. which is that, you know, do a lot of those middle class luvvies who stand outside there with their banners, actually understand what necessarily is going on? i mean, it was a horrific attack in german

we hear that cleveland police raided a property in hartlepool this morning and found £20,000 worth ofabis, the main ingredient in the production of cannabis. so we go there to take a look. how do you know about the existence of this tomb? does it have a special smell or will we find them with your prior notice? one of the dangers that exists is that these graves grow widely and there is a risk of a big fire. if you live in the neighborhood of these houses, your house is in great danger. people do not understand the issue. the police are facing big obstacles here, but are they here? no wonder the number of officers here has dropped by 14 percent since 2010. in 2019, this force will take special measures did to increase the number of its forces and despite the removal of these measures last year , people here are still worried. do you feel safe in cleveland now? no not really. do you think the police are corrupt? definitely corrupt. why do you think they should forces. bring them here because the cleveland police forces are not doing their job properly . there are 10 year old kids here

hartlepool, hull, manchester and blackburn. i've also got to state the obvious as well, and point out that many of these affected areas in this way also have a higher than average proportion of asylum seekers in taxpayer funded accommodation. now, it is quite unpopular among many to have the conversations about what has caused the situation, but more importantly, how do we resolve these issues so that we can move forward and hope that all of this is a thing of the past? >> paul embery economic insecurity has caused it, immigration levels, a lack of integration in some of these communities, a fear of crime, increase in in a lot of these communities. and this is a simmering resentment that has been boiling for years. and anyone who knows working class communities and comes from working class communities, i think all three of us do, in fact, actually hold that thought, because i did just mention belfast. >> before we get stuck into , the >> before we get stuck into, the calmness of the streets of england, let's just cross live to

disturbances in hartlepool.act a terrorist attack on a pensioner by a pro—palestinian muslim, and that was suppressed at the time. had it not been, i don't think we would have seen those disturbances. >> okay. thank you very much, toby. up next, patrick christys patrick, you're back. i hope you had a nice week last week. >> yes, i did, but, yes, quite the news agenda today. we intend to do it all, actually. is it to tear kier? and if he's planning to call everyone far right and hope that the problems go away, then he's got another thing coming. there's an ongoing incident involving what appears to be young asian men kicking off in birmingham. labour's jess phillips has tried to justify another incident in plymouth. we've got it all tonight. we'll be taking you to those scenes. stay tuned . stay tuned. >> that will be very exciting. i'm back tomorrow at 8:00. i'm jacob rees—mogg and the weather in somerset is gearing up for the clutton flower show on saturday, which i'll be opening . saturday, which i'll be openi
