what happened in court? it is going to be a busy day and centre in liverpool. there are ten people appearing in relation to the disorder, booth and southpaw but also here in liverpool. one of the first was derek drummond, who is himself from southport. he pleaded guilty to the two charges against him. the details were discussed in court. this was all in the context of one police officer who wasn't wearing riot gear who was on hart street, where the mass stabbing took place, and he was sent around the corner because the police were aware that a large group was gathering. the police officer went at that large group and i started shouting things towards the moss mosque. the police officer was guarding a police van that had as colleagues inside.

mr drummond walked up to that police officer, shouted at him and punched him in the face. this was well other protesters were throwing wheelie bins at the police, paint tins. after that officer was punched he stayed in position for 25 minutes before reinforcements arrived, during which time he was also hit by concrete. we saw some footage of this in court this morning. it was all filmed. there are allegations that mr drummond broke a garden wall to get perks to throw at officers. he has been remanded into custody and will appear at a later date at crown court. just one example of a long list of people appearing at court today. long list of people appearing at court today-— long list of people appearing at court toda . , . ., ,, ., long list of people appearing at court toda . , . ., , , ., ., court today. others have appeared on course court — court today. others have appeared on course court over— court today. others have appeared on course court over the _ court today. others have appeared on course court over the violence - court today. others have appeared on course court over the violence in - course court over the violence in liverpool at the weekend? tiara liverpool at the weekend? two different instances _ liverpool at the weekend? in"? different instances of violence in

liverpool. one at the waterfront area. two different sides, an anti—immigration side, about 750 people, and an antiracist protest which moved on to meet them. there was a lot of violence that ensued and a face—off with the police. at one point bricks were thrown at police officers. we heard them banging off their shields. later on at night there was more rioting at county road, which is assured distance away from here at the walton area of liverpool. we saw a community centre being set alight. two brothers appeared in court this morning in relation to that, not in relating to writing or violent conduct, but burglary from that community hub where the fire was set. they were accused of going in there in the early hours of the morning to try and steal things. they both pleaded guilty to that.

one of those brothers separately pleaded not guilty to assaulting a police officer. that is three who have already appeared. there are seven due to appear later on today at the magistrates�* court rooms, charged with writing offences. those two separate incidents of writing here in liverpool, and the rabbit took place in southport at the beginning of last week. thank you. i know he will— beginning of last week. thank you. i know he will update _ beginning of last week. thank you. i know he will update this _ beginning of last week. thank you. i know he will update this as - beginning of last week. thank you. i know he will update this as those i know he will update this as those other cases are brought to court. malaysia and nigeria have become the first countries to issue a uk travel warning. malaysia�*s ministry of foreign affairs advised malaysians to stay away from protest areas and to stay away from protest areas and to remain vigilant. a similar warning issued by the nigerian ministry this morning is citing an

increased risk of rioting and disorder. you can get more on that on the bbc live page. let�*s turn to bangladesh, where after weeks of protests and violent clashes in which hundreds of people have been killed, prime minister sheikh hasina has resigned. these pictures are reported to show the moment that sheikh hasina, who has led bangladesh since 2009, boarded a helicopter in dhaka that we believe took her to india. not long after that, thousands of anti—government protesters stormed the official residence of the prime minister. local media shows demonstrators inside the building, with reports of looting taking place. the army chief confirmed the prime minister had resigned and pledged to form an interim government. it also called for people to cooperate and have patience.

let�*s get the latest from the bbc�*s akbar hossain in dhaka. this is a historic moment in bangladesh�*s politics. in the last 54 years, we have never seen such a moment where a serving prime minister, she had to resign and flee the country. this is for the first time, any bangladeshi leader who fled the country after her resignation, and people are celebrating their victory on the streets, we can see tens of thousands of people on the streets. they are chanting slogans. they are describing sheikh hasina as a dictator. they are saying it�*s a fall of a dictator. and thousands of people, they stormed inside the official residence of the prime minister. and we have also seen that people

are looting the ganabhaban, some furnitures and other things from there. and still protesters are, you know, chanting their slogans and celebrating their victory in different places of the country. and the news we got that the helicopter carrying sheikh hasina landed in india. and she will stay there for a time being. but i won�*t be surprised to see if sheikh hasina will seek, you know, long term shelter in india because india is a trusted partner or friend of sheikh hasina or sheikh hasina is a trusted friend of india. for the last 15 years, sheikh hasina got widespread support, very strong support from india and she also served many interests of india. what actually india wanted for a long time. so this is not for the first time sheikh hasina has taken shelter in india. even in 1975, when herfather, sheikh mujibur rahman was assassinated in bangladesh, sheikh hasina and her sister sheikh rehana, both of them took shelter in india and they stayed there for a long time. so i won�*t be surprised

to repeat that history again. but we�*ll have to see what is going to happen. and in the meantime, bangladesh�*s army chief, he has addressed the nation. he said that an interim government is going to be formed and he will discuss the matter with the bangladesh�*s president, what kind of government it would be because the interim government, they will oversee the country for the next days and we don�*t know the time frame yet. it could be six months. it could be one year, two years. but we don�*t know that. but the army chief, he urged people, you know, to avoid violence. and he said that please keep faith on army. we will restore law and order in the country and we will meet your demands. and he said that each and every killing will be tried. our south asia correspondent samira hussain is monitoring the situation from new delhi.

it was in bangladesh for the last election where we saw sheikh hasina for the fourth time. if you had told me that eight months later we would be in this situation we are in now in which the prime minister has had to flee her country, resigned her position and is out possibly to another country, destination unknown, i would another country, destination unknown, iwould not another country, destination unknown, i would not have believed you. those elections were mired in controversy. the opposition parties, the main opposition party had boycotted saying that there was no way that those elections are going to be free and fair. thousands of opposition party members have been arrested, jailed. some have died, as well. there has been a large amount of criticism on the autocratic rule of criticism on the autocratic rule of sheikh hasina, not only by her critics within the country, but also

by international organisations that really looked at the backsliding of democracy in bangladesh is very worrying for the country. so to now be in a situation in which you see these protests that really began, as most protests do, from an economic standpoint, these were students that were protesting the quotas for civil service jobs because there were protesting the quotas for civil servicejobs because there is were protesting the quotas for civil service jobs because there is a crisis of unemployment in bangladesh. that swell so very quickly to where we are now, that these protests turned into anti—government protests, and they were demanding the resignation of sheikh hasina. we are saying the latest post from our colleagues in bangladesh are saying, that widespread looting is now taking place in dakar. the

residence of the home of minister is also being looted. you can get that on a website or on the bbc app. we arejust hearing from on a website or on the bbc app. we are just hearing from dominic cassie annie, a roman legal correspondent, that topjudges in england and where is have been given the green light to special measures to allow courts to special measures to allow courts to sit for longer, potentially for “p to sit for longer, potentially for up to 24 hours a day. this is to deal with that expected surge in prosecutions of people accused of disorder and violence that we have seen over the weekend. the plans being brought into force now were first devised and employed in 2011. that was after police arrested thousands of people involved in the summer rioting that took place there. in a short statement the

judiciary confronted the bbc that existing tried and tested protocols were now being triggered in preparation for an expected surge in charging decisions from the police. a bit of additional information, some 70 prosecutors have been working all weekend to boost the rate that police forces can charge suspects who have already been arrested. once charged, they have to be brought before the court were a magistrate must then decide whether they need to be remanded in custody. a spokeswoman for the judiciary told us there are contingency measures in place across the criminaljustice system to handle any unexpected and exceptional increases in demand on the magistrates�* courts. this includes additional settings of courts during regular hours, which is happening now. the plan was first used back in 2011. at that time it led to the courts dealing with an unprecedented 1,000 defendants

within a week of the first court setting to deal with those disorder suspects. we are also hearing that at that time in 2011 the swift hearings saw the prison population surge by almost 900 as the court remanded people suspected of violent disorder, rioting and other offences, even if their trial was due to be months. that news coming into us that the top judges in england and wales have given the green light to court setting for longer to deal with the expected surge in the number of people appearing before them as police arrest and charge people following the violent unrest that has been taking place around the country. we are being told that those courts could set for up to 24 hours a day to be able to deal with that expected surge in people appearing before them. that is the latest from

our home and legal correspondent dominic cassie annie. several mps are calling for parliament to be recalled to respond to the violence across the country. among them is diane abbott, the labour mp for hackney north and stoke newington. she told me why that needs to happen. i don�*t think we can wait weeks and weeks with this violence carrying on. there have never been anti—immigrant riots nationwide like this before. there is a threat to property, there is a threat to life and communities up and down the country are frightened. i think if we can�*t recall parliament in this situation, when angry members of parliament

want to speak up for their communities and to be able to question the government on what steps are being taken to put an end to this violence, of course we should recall parliament. do you think, therefore, that the government at the moment is not doing enough? we don�*t know what they�*re doing. that�*s why we need parliament recalled, so they can be questioned on it. this is an extraordinarily grave situation. you�*ve got people trying to burn down hostels where asylum—seekers are cowering. you�*ve got people attacking black and muslim people on the street. we need to be able to question ministers on what exactly is being done and we want to speak up for our communities. these are racist, anti—immigrant riots and we need proper debate and proper analysis

in the house of commons. we�*ve been discussing the role of social media over the last hour or so. how concerned are you that these violent disorder and protests are being sprung up on social media and it is very hard to find out who is actually organising them, if indeed there is one single group organising them. let me say these are not protests. this is violence, not protest at all. a protest is a march or a letter. these are not protests and should not be dignified by that. as far as social media is concerned, there is a role for that because it�*s extraordinary how all of these violent incidents have been coordinated nationally, so we would want to debate around social media and what can be done to stop them circulating these incitements to violence.

as we mentioned, it�*s been a week since that attack in southport. our reporter lauren moss is there with more on how the community has been coping. it�*s hard to believe in a way that it�*s been a week since the three little girls died in the stabbing. on the first full day of the first full week of the school holidays, just half a mile from where i am now. and the thoughts of the whole community here are very much with the family of bebe, elsie and alice, and that is sort of represented really where the sheer amount of flowers that just just one spot in southport in the town centre. not even at the scene where it happened. overnight, more flowers and balloons and teddy bears have been laid. candles were burning through the night. children have chalked messages on the pavement.

i was having a read of some of them earlier. one says, "dancing queens" and a message to bebe says, "our beebs, we will love you forever." and in the last half an hour or so, some tables have been laid out and notice boards with yet more cards and tributes and folders with sketches in that have been done by people in the community, leaving messages for the girls and theirfamilies. and one to one of the girls says "to the best cousin in the world, i love you." merseyside police say 87 officers have been injured in southport, liverpool city centre and walton. 81 are merseyside police officers four are merseyside police officers four are from lancashire, one from north wales and won a cheshire police officer. they go on to say a total officer. they go on to say a total of 64 of the injuries were sustained

on tuesday night in southport, while the remaining 23 from saturday the majority of the injuries to police officers were caused by missiles, and other injuries because some of his injury collision. none of the officers remain in hospital. we mentioned there have been —— has been a cobra meeting going on this morning. the prime minister has been speaking after that meeting. i had morning. the prime minister has been speaking after that meeting.— speaking after that meeting. i had a cobra meeting _ speaking after that meeting. i had a cobra meeting this _ speaking after that meeting. i had a cobra meeting this morning - speaking after that meeting. i had a cobra meeting this morning which i speaking after that meeting. i had a i cobra meeting this morning which was an opportunity i took to thank the police for the work of their last three days, to express my support for the police officer shall have been injured and the communities impacted by this mindless thuggery. there are a number of actions that came out of the meeting the first is we will have a standing army of specialist officers, public duty

officers so that we will have enough officers so that we will have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. the second is we will mmp need them. the second is we will ramp up criminaljustice. there have already been hundreds of arrests, some of appear in court this morning. i have asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process, he will feel the full force of the law. thirdly, i have been absolutely clear that the criminal law applies online as well as off—line. i�*m sure that that is the approach that has been taken. whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest, it is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our muslim communities. the full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities. hana are identified as having taken part in these activities.— are identified as having taken part in these activities. how quickly can this army of _ in these activities. how quickly can this army of specialist _ in these activities. how quickly can this army of specialist officers i in these activities. how quickly can this army of specialist officers she | this army of specialist officers she

the message for me was very clear in the cobra meeting. the law applies online. so if you are inciting violence, it doesn�*t matter whether it is online or off—line. therefore, i expect, just as in relation to those i have —— you have directly participated on the streets, for there to be arrests, charging and prosecution. equally, anyone found to have committed a criminal offence online can expect the same response. thank you very much. so online can expect the same response. thank you very much.— thank you very much. so that is the prime minister, _ thank you very much. so that is the prime minister, sir _ thank you very much. so that is the prime minister, sir keir _ thank you very much. so that is the prime minister, sir keir starmer, i prime minister, sir keir starmer, talking after that emergency cobra meeting this morning. he said specialist officers are ready to support communities and said he wanted to see the ramp up injustice. he was prepared to name those involved in the criminal activity. he said that they would need to see the full force of the law. he said that they would not tolerate attacks on mosques. he said that they do
