good afternoon. there have been more arrests in towns and cities in england and northern ireland after another night of violence. in a moment, we'll be reporting from birmingham, where cars were smashed and a pub was attacked. we'll also have the latest from plymouth, where a number of police officers have been injured. first, though, police say they are treating the "serious assault" of a man in belfast as a racially motivated hate crime after witnesses reported seeing people stamp on his head. our ireland correspondent chris page joins us now from belfast and can tell us more. chris.

yes, this area has seen more trouble for the second time in just a few days. the south of belfast, where i am now, is the most diverse part of the city, and it is worth saying the vast majority of people, politicians, community leaders, business people, have been trying to send out a message that everyone is welcome here and that this violence has to stop. just behind me as a grocery store that was all but destroyed in an arson attack during more serious disturbances on saturday. earlierthat more serious disturbances on saturday. earlier that day, there was an anti—immigration demonstration and a counterprotest in the city centre, and police had hoped the disorder which broke out later on saturday was going to be the last they saw of it, but sadly, those hopes were not fulfilled, and last night there was more violence here. the police have been maintaining a presence, while the clear up operation has been going on, and now, attention will be turning to how to prevent more

trouble in the days ahead. for several hours, the police faced a group throwing stones, bricks and metal rods. the trouble was on a smaller scale than the violence at the weekend, but officers said it was still dangerous. disperse immediately, as force is about— disperse immediately, as force is about to — disperse immediately, as force is about to be — disperse immediately, as force is about to be used _ disperse immediately, as force is about to be used against - disperse immediately, as force is about to be used against violent. about to be used against violent individuals— about to be used against violent individuals stop _ about to be used against violent individuals stop no _ about to be used against violent individuals stop no further - about to be used against violent - individuals stop no further warnings will be _ individuals stop no further warnings will be given — will be given. the - will be given. the police . will be given. l the police fired will be given. - the police fired two will be given. _ the police fired two baton will be given. — the police fired two baton rounds and arrested a 15—year—old. in the same area, a man in his 50s suffered serious injuries when attackers stamped on his head. detectives are treating it as a racially motivated hate crime. the disturbances happen close to the supermarket, which was set alight on saturday.— set alight on saturday. ashus! nothin: set alight on saturday. ashus! nothing left- _ set alight on saturday. ashus! nothing left. nothing - set alight on saturday. ashus! nothing left. nothing left. - set alight on saturday. ashus! nothing left. nothing left. i i nothing left. nothing left. i mean... literally nothing left. nothing. a number of other businesses were

also targeted. the owner of this restaurant said ten people were inside when it was stoned. she didn't want to appear on camera because she was concerned for her safety. most of my staff are muslim, but this is— most of my staff are muslim, but this is hot— most of my staff are muslim, but this is not a reason to attack pe0ple. _ this is not a reason to attack people, because of their religion or background. i am 11 years here. my kids are _ background. i am 11 years here. my kids are from here. businesses are set to get financial help from the local council. members held an emergency meeting last night to condemn what they called violent destruction and racist intimidation. we cannot allow this to continue. it is not what belfast is. it is not what we are. some visible signs of violence are being removed from the streets, but the sense of fear and tension hasn't lifted yet. a week on from the deadly knife attack in southport which triggered the violence, there's now been disorder

in plymouth and birmingham as well, as our correspondent lauren moss reports. another night of violence on britain's streets. this time it was plymouth, where a police van was damaged and officers suffered minor injuries. shops closed early as the evening started off with a protest before tensions increased. anti—immigration and antiracism groups chanted each other... groups chanted at each other... refugees are welcome here! and trouble flared, fires were set and six people were arrested. some groups have made accusations of protesters being treated differently, after footage online shows officers shoving an unarmed man in plymouth. once again, social media accounts have been criticised for not telling the full story. this is not two—tier policing, these are people who were goading the police. i watched it live on multiple streams last night, on tiktok, and that individual was seen all over the place and had already had an incident with officers before.

so i am now absolutely furious about how this is being misused on social media to incite hate, and we will not tolerate it in devon and cornwall. in the bolster green area of birmingham, hundreds of people gathered yesterday following false reports of a planned far right march. people waved palestinian flags, several vehicles and a pub were attacked. bricks were thrown at police in darlington during clashes with two rival groups of protesters. it is now a week since the first protests in southport, after misinformation spread online about the identity of the man charged with the murder of three little girls. hundreds of arrests have been made since in england and northern ireland with suspects aged from ia to 69 years old. from next week, the government says 500 new prison places will be ready. the idea is that if the system responds very swiftly now and tells people, if you go out on the streets and set fire to a hotel

or hit a police officer, you are going to pay for it straight away, then that is hoped, and i think is likely, to deter people from doing it again, because they will suddenly wake up and think, hang on, i am in a prison cell now. what was i thinking? with warnings of further trouble ahead, the new standing army of specialist police officers will be waiting. laura moss, bbc news. more than 500 extra prison places are being made available from next week to cope with the number of people who've been detained in riots across england and northern ireland. the plans were already in place, but have been accelerated because of the disorder. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is in sheffield and can tell us more. how significant are these prison places? they are very significant indeed, because they mean that if the courts want to send people to prison, then

the capacity is there. there has been a lot of concern about present capacity, but clearly, spaces have been made available at least in the short term, so the people can be sentenced if they need to be. here are sheffield, we have watched the first case is going through the courts this morning. one man, joshua smith from cleethorpes admitted assaulting a police officer. two men denied violent disorder but were keptin denied violent disorder but were kept injail ahead of denied violent disorder but were kept in jail ahead of trial. denied violent disorder but were kept injail ahead of trial. only denied violent disorder but were kept in jail ahead of trial. only a 17—year—old charged with violent disorder was given bail. some 400 people have been arrested now in the past week. around 100 have been charged. one man, 28—year—old jordan palmerfrom leeds, has been charged with inciting racial hatred on facebook. 28 people were due in court in middlesbrough today, police using cctv, body worn video and retrospective facial recognition to identify suspects, working with counterterrorism police and organised crime squads.

thank you. the director of public prosecutions says his teams will consider seeking the extradition from abroad of social media influencers who are playing a role in the violent disorder gripping the uk. meanwhile, justice minister heidi alexander has described elon musk as "deplorable" after he suggested that civil war in the uk is inevitable. our political correspondent harry farleyjoins us now. harry, what more can you tell us about the reaction to these comments? elon musk, the man who owns x, formerly twitter. what has been the reaction? in the last few minutes, has criticised keir he starmer for a second time. the prime minister said yesterday that he will not tolerate attacks on muslim communities, to which elon musk responded on x, shouldn't you be concerned about a tax on all communities? and that followed, as you say, a post last week when mr musk said civil war is inevitable in the uk, and also promoted a post by the far right

activist stephen yaxley lennon, also known as tommy robinson, to his 193 million followers. the government says it does not think social media companies are doing enough to counter misinformation online, and as you say, thejustice minister heidi alexander had this to say in response to those comments by elon musk. i think elon musk's comments are totally— i think elon musk's comments are totally unjustifiable. i think at the moment, as i have said, everyone should _ the moment, as i have said, everyone should be _ the moment, as i have said, everyone should be calling for calm. he does have a _ should be calling for calm. he does have a responsibility, given this huge _ have a responsibility, given this huge platform that he has, and so, to be _ huge platform that he has, and so, to be honest, i think his comments are pretty— to be honest, i think his comments are pretty deplorable. those _ are pretty deplorable. those comments by elon musk perhaps indicate a wider challenging relationship with social media companies. the government says it wants to work with tech companies, and the technology secretary yesterday met with representatives from x but also meto, google and

tiktok, and said he made it clear their responsibility to stop the spread of hateful misinformation and incitement. there are wider questions about what the government can do. they say they want to do a review i would write a review of the laws governing online platforms, but this is a very complicated area. that review will not happen quickly. it is not yet clear what it would involve. thank you. later, we'll hear about england's oldest mosque in liverpool, where religious leaders reached out with food and drink to protestors from both sides. lawyers acting for the family involved in an incident at manchester airport in which a police officer could be seen kicking one man in the head and hitting another with a taser have given a press conference. aamer anwar, who was speaking on behalf of brothers muhammad fahir amaaz and amaad amaaz, called for a meeting with the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham. they also said that they have spoken

to the independent office for police conduct about lodging a formal complaint against officers. at least four people have died and more than 300,000 people have been left without power after hurricane debby hit florida. three people died in car crashes, while a boy was killed when a tree fell on a mobile home. despite now being downgraded to a tropical storm, 20 inches of rain is still expected in georgia and south carolina by friday. three water companies are facing fines totalling more than £160 million for historic spills of sewage. the regulator ofwat has proposed the penalties for thames, yorkshire and northumbrian water. our chief economics correspondent dharshini david reports. water, water everywhere, but what lurks beneath? all 11 providers in england

and wales are under investigation for the handling of waste water. the regulator has made an initial splash by ruling that three had routinely released sewerage into rivers and seas. it's proposing fines totalling £168 million due to failures to limit discharges of untreated waste water from storm overflows. waste water from storm overflows, failure to manage and maintain waste water treatment sites properly and failure to upgrade plants and equipment, which has harmed the environment and consumers. the fines will be relative to the failings, so it wants £17 million from northumbrian water, £47 million from yorkshire water and £104 million from thames water. that is 9% of its turnover, close to the maximum that can be levied. but who pays? these are companies that earn returns and so

this will mean lower returns for investors. we set the prices they can charge customers and we're very clear they cannot recover fines from customers. thames water's investors have previously refused to put up more funds as the company struggles with debts, amidst warnings it will soon run out of cash. however, customer dave wallace, who monitors the water in henley, the beauty spot famous for its regatta yet has e. coli levels five times the permitted level, is hopeful for change. so i'm actually delighted. so the regulator has finally come to the party and shown its teeth. does a fine actually limit their ability to make the kind of improvements that you have been pushing for? i think the fines focus their minds. they still found the money to pay out a £158 million dividend in march, so, you know, i think they may be under financial stress but that doesn't seem to be impacting some of their sort of shareholdings,

to be honest with you. the water companies say they are making improvements, but will the fines help or hinder? fines are ring fenced so they can be used to spend on fixing the broken infrastructure. if the companies had done that, if the previous government had required the companies to do that, then we wouldn't be facing the problems with the record levels of sewage that we are seeing dumped in our waterways. but some fear a record penalty could hasten thames water's collapse, leaving taxpayers with a far larger bill. cleaning up our water and the industry has a way to go. dharshini david, bbc news. great britain's keely hodgkinson says it still "hasn't sunk in" that she's won her first olympic gold medal after dominating the women's 800 metres last night. the 22—year—old said she was overwhelmed by her victory, as our sports correspondent, laura scott, reports from paris. surely laura scott, reports from paris. this is where she g

that amount to torture. the group says the situation has deteriorated dramatically since the start of the war in gaza last october. our correspondent paul adams reports. thousands of palestinians have passed through israeli prisons since last october. palestinians from gaza and the west bank, those who've come out recently paint a terrifying picture of life inside. feras has been in and out ofjail since the early �*90s, charged twice with membership of an armed group — islamichhad. he was already in prison without charge last october. nothing prepared him for what happened next. translation: we were severely beaten by 20 officers, _ masked men using batons and sticks, dogs and firearms. we were tied from behind, our eyes, blindfolded, beaten severely. blood was gushing from my face. since october, israel's prisons

have been overwhelmed. the number of detainees has almost doubled. some have been released without charge. their accounts are remarkably consistent. all of them told us the same thing. ongoing abuse. daily violence. physical violence and mental violence. humiliation. sleep deprivation. people are starved. the israeli prison system as a whole, in regard to palestinians, turned into a network of torture camps. and it's notjust happening to palestinians from gaza or the west bank. sarri hurriya is a lawyer from haifa, an israeli citizen, arrested last november and held for ten days. it nearly broke him. theyjust lost their mind simply. they've just lost their mind. there was no law. sarri's offence — two facebook posts

which the police said glorified the actions of hamas. a charge quickly dismissed, but not before he witnessed the horrors being meted out to fellow prisoners. there was screaming, the guys, "we didn't do nothing. - you don't have to hit us." me, an advocate that has seen the world outside the prison. l now i am inside, i i see another world. we put claims of mistreatment to the authorities involved. the army said it rejected outright allegations of systematic abuse. the prison service said it wasn't aware of the claims. as far as we know, they said, no such events have occurred. some palestinians being held by israel did terrible things on october 7th. others had nothing to do with it. according to b'tselem, all are now being held in prisons where violence and abuse are the norm. paul adams, bbc news, jerusalem.

their diabetes into remission. our health correspondent dominic hughes explains. since it was launched in 2020, more than 25,000 people have started the nhs weight—loss programme made up of shakes, soups, and meal replacement bars. it's aimed at those who've developed type two diabetes after putting on weight. it lasts a year, starting with 12 weeks on a 900—calorie—a—day diet, followed by support and advice on exercise, and the reintroduction of nutritious, solid foods. the new research suggests the programme is having a significant impact on weight loss and type 2 diabetes for those who can stick with it. it looked particularly at around 950 people who completed a full year of the programme, and provided blood samples. of this group, nearly a third had put their type 2 diabetes into remission, with an average weight loss ofjust under 16kg — around 2.5 stone. this is quite an important milestone for us with regard the programme, and actually we're the first

parts of the uk are struggling. i got a ba in english and photography. these _ got a ba in english and photography. these young people are delighted with their results. but for those who are not as happy helplines are now open. katie hunter, bbc news, glasgow. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon. 500 extra prison places are made available to cope with those arrested in the riots and violent disorder, as further unrest unfolds in belfast, darlington and plymouth. but a handshake of hope. the liverpool mosque reaching out to protestors. now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. thank you very much, this is bbc news. we want to bring you back to the disorder which has happened over the disorder which has happened over the last week and the director of public prosecutions has been

speaking to the bbc and told us that anybody involved in the violence in the uk should know that they will face the most possible, severe charges, including terrorism. he also says his team is working with international partners to identify eye line influences stirring up violence from abroad —— my eye line influences stirring up violence from abroad. ,, ., influences stirring up violence from abroad. . , ., abroad. some offences committed on line incitin: abroad. some offences committed on line inciting racial _ abroad. some offences committed on line inciting racial hatred, _ abroad. some offences committed on line inciting racial hatred, will- line inciting racial hatred, will authorise the charge —— but actually, we authorise a charge today. there are some type of communications tab offences out there but the other way that an activity can be used is incitement and planning. if you —— if you engage in this activity, you can be prosecuted for the substantial effects that you have caused see what you have been doing using the internet. so, we are looking at both

types. some people are abroad, that does not mean they are safe. we have liaison and prosecutors spread around the globe, who have got to local links with the local and judiciary and law enforcement, but also the police are also stationed abroad. we can co—operate with our international partners, we will set a extradition if we are satisfied that offences have been committed. they must know that they are not safe and there is nowhere to hide and if it takes weeks or months, we will bring them home and they will face justice. will bring them home and they will facejustice. so will bring them home and they will face justice-— face justice. so that is the director — face justice. so that is the director of _ face justice. so that is the director of public - face justice. so that is the - director of public prosecutions. i want to take you to belfast because police are briefing the media after the violence in belfast. shifter police are briefing the media after the violence in belfast. after10pm, olice the violence in belfast. after10pm, police officers _ the violence in belfast. after10pm, police officers came _ the violence in belfast. after10pm, police officers came under- the violence in belfast. after10pm, | police officers came under sustained attacks for a number of hours from crowds throwing petrol bombs, heavy

masonry and bricks. petrol is also thrown over a police land rover which was then set alight. thankfully, the crew were not physically harmed and remained on duty however, this was obviously a terrifying experience for them, their colleagues and for the public to witness and experience. last night also saw a man in his 50s, brutally attacked by a mob in what we are classifying as they hate motivated assault. —— as a hate motivated assault. —— as a hate motivated assault. —— as a hate motivated a stud. other members of the public, attempted to shield him from the attack. police officers managed to get this man to safety and secure his medical treatment, he remains being treated in hospital at this time with serious injuries. during the course of the serious disorder, it was necessary for authorise offices to discharge to ae

piece, one variety was struck on hand. although it eight officers were injured in the line of duty on saturday, we have no officers who have reported injury on duty as a result of last night yet. much has been made as to the availability of water cannon, water cannon is a good tactical is the mac option that has remained available in northern ireland permanently. i acknowledge that we have supported our colleagues with some of our water cannon, however, we have always retained the capability locally and we will use this if it is the right tactic to use in the circumstances. last night, it was considered not to be the most appropriate tactic but that does not mean it will not be used in the future. one teenage male was arrested last night and he is currently being processed, and we

are ts working at a pace to identify those involved or those organising and all orchestrating this order. we have a significant and dedicated team working at pace and we are working alongside the public prosecution service a tube review evidence, make a rest and bring offenders tojustice. —— evidence, make a rest and bring offenders to justice. —— and evidence, make a rest and bring offenders tojustice. —— and review evidence and make arrests and bring offenders to justice. we are reviewing images, and vintage eye we are releasing details about how people can do that. i would urge anybody who has evidence, footage or information that supports our investigation to come forward with that information, either through crimestoppers or the other means available. i would also highlight the work and that is ongoing to support those vulnerable and minority communities that have been particularly affected by both

terrible ms and disorder. we are working with those groups on a daily basis at pace to provide them with the support and reassurance and crime prevention advice that they need at this very difficult time. i acknowledge their resilience on this matter. we are a resilient community. lastly, iwould like matter. we are a resilient community. lastly, i would like to thank and acknowledge the offices and staff who have been involved in the policing response, in response to the recent disorder on the streets of belfast. i would especially pay tribute to those on the front line who display unwavering commitment and bravery to cook dinner back keep communities safe in the face of untestable —— bravery to communities safe in the face of despicable violence. lgrate bravery to communities safe in the face of despicable violence. we have detective chief _ face of despicable violence. we have detective chief constable _ face of despicable violence. we have

night. we use the resources as well as we could and my heart goes out to that shopkeeper who has been attacked three times. and i want to bring this back to the despicable people who are intent on violence in our communities. but i will reiterate that we are absolutely committed to having a proportionate and appropriate policing response available and will continue to individually work with those affected and those minority groups. in relation to the second question, we have an open mind of who is orchestrating and organising this. what we saw last night we feel was different from what we saw a saturday. on saturday, we saw mainly older adults who became involved in disorder. last night, it was clear to us that there was a younger element, teenagers mainly who were involved in the but there was an

element of organisation and orchestration from what appeared to be older adults present as the scene. in relation to your last question about paramilitary influence, i have no doubt there is a paramilitary element to this but i am in no position to say that they are the main organiser or orchestrator of these events. however, we do keep an open mind to this i will be part of our investigative strategy. inaudible it is costing us significantly.— inaudible it is costing us sianificantl. ., ., , , inaudible it is costing us sianificantl. ., ., , significantly. not only in terms of office is being — significantly. not only in terms of office is being diverted _ significantly. not only in terms of office is being diverted of - significantly. not only in terms of office is being diverted of other. office is being diverted of other policing duties they would have been doing, both on saturday, last night and in the days to come. we do keep and in the days to come. we do keep a track of that cost but at the moment, i do not have that information are available. we will be making that information available, both to store and to

westminster and if there are opportunities to recoup any of that cost and reinvest any of the policing into our communities, we will make sure we take those steps in due course. but at the moment, my priority is to planning for the here and now for what is best for our communities. inaudible could you talk a little bit about what engagement has been... ? bit about what engagement has been... , ., , ., been... ? it is well rehearsed that they gave — been... ? it is well rehearsed that they gave a _ been. .. ? it is well rehearsed that they gave a officer— been... ? it is well rehearsed that they gave a officer head _ been... ? it is well rehearsed that they gave a officer head count - been... ? it is well rehearsed that they gave a officer head count for| they gave a officer head count for seven and a half thousand offices, we are currently managing an officer headcount of six out of 350 offices and we are struggling in the budget to increase that any further —— 600

orchestrating, organising and stirring up violence and disorder in the background. that is an active line of investigation. we continue to work with colleagues across the uk to make sure that we are picking up uk to make sure that we are picking up on anything relevant here, from their investigations and their intelligence gathering. in relation to the question about paramilitary, we know that we have some element still remaining in some communities that will use a history of northern ireland to stare up violence and intolerance and we believe that that played some part of what we have seenin played some part of what we have seen in the past three days. however, we remain open—minded about other elements that are instigated and orchestrating this as well. it and orchestrating this as well. it appears to be a small number of writers _ appears to be a small number of writers last — appears to be a small number of writers last night. _ appears to be a small number of writers last night. you _ appears to be a small number of writers last night. you said - writers last night. you said yourself _ writers last night. you said yourself most _ writers last night. you said yourself most of _ writers last night. you said yourself most of them - writers last night. you said| yourself most of them were teenagers _ yourself most of them were teenagers. given _ yourself most of them were teenagers. given the - yourself most of them were teenagers. given the age i yourself most of them were - teenagers. given the age profile and the small— teenagers. given the age profile and the small numbers _ teenagers. given the age profile and the small numbers involved, - teenagers. given the age profile and the small numbers involved, what. teenagers. given the age profile andl the small numbers involved, what we you suggest — the small numbers involved, what we
