birmingham . and pub attacks in birmingham.hat basically failed to mention who was doing the attacking right and who was actually responsible for those incidents in a way that i don't think they would have done had that all been the far right. there's also a report from the guardian that was an overview of some of the incidents that took place last night. they mentioned a few different bits and bobs. there they've got belfast, they've got, you know, in light of the southport stabbings they mentioned, they've got neil basu, a former head of the terror, counter—terror police, talking about, you know, right wing violence. they've got plymouth there. they didn't mention birmingham. right again. where so there is an argument to say that you only get, you know , say that you only get, you know, the full truth, really, from twitter, from axe. harry >> that's absolutely right. he twitter is a great voice for the marketplace. the reason that the liberal elite don't like it is it because it gives the lumpenproletariat, the demos, the ord

birmingham. of all the things we've seen so far, i found birmingham last night as a journalist. seeing that journalist surrounded by. let's not beat about the bush here, thugs in balaclavas again that was shocking. what's what? how is it today? what's going on up there ? up there? >> well, that was the first part of what happened last night in birmingham. and the police investigating what happened here. that was in bordesley green, about half a mile down the road, where a group of men gathered. south asian muslim men gathered. south asian muslim men gathered often wearing balaclavas and masks, many of them brandishing machetes in response to fake rumours that a so—called far right demonstration or an anti—immigration protest was going to be gathering in that location. now, that protest never materialised, but the counter demonstration , which was counter demonstration, which was menacing, which did have some violent tendencies as we saw at the time, did turn up in their hundreds. now, a couple of

, charlie, because in birmingham, charlie, because in birmingham, charlie, because in birmingham last . were some shocking scenes. >> shocking scenes indeed. emily. because this pub here was descended on by a masked mob. many of the people attacking this location were armed. we saw machetes and knives being brandished by the mob that came down here, predominantly south asians, who moved from a location about half a mile away. marching on to this pub where a karaoke night was being hosted last night here at the clumsy swan pub in yardley, where people had to barricade themselves in here as the mob descended, we saw the assistant manager had her hand injured due, due to the attempt to block up the door with some furniture . up the door with some furniture. and i just want to take you around briefly, if i can, into the wider space, because that mob didn't just appear out of nowhere. they marched from a pnor nowhere. they marched from a prior demonstration in bordesley green about half a mile away. and that place they'd gathered in large numbers . hundreds were in large numbers. hundreds

and i think that's one of the great things about birmingham.eant to be a peaceful protest, but one bad thing gets said and itjust erupts into chaos. there is an immigration centre nearby and online rumours spread about a possible demonstration and counter—demonstration. kam also shut up shop early. but stayed around to keep an eye on his business. i feel on edge and i feel... i wouldn't say afraid, because we can't be afraid, obviously. but itjust puts everyone on edge. all my family is on edge. everyone around me is on edge, that is of colour, literally. and even a lot of white people are on edge, because they feel as if they will be treated like the people that are doing the bad stuff. so it kind of spoils everyone, all round. tariq jahan has bitter memories of the last major disorder in birmingham in 2011. after his son was killed, he made this intervention. i lost my son. blacks, asians, whites, we all live in the same community. why do we have to kill one another? i fear for the fact that the only way we are going to learn again —— ifeel —

so you are now seeing a pub in birmingham?it is , and this was last think it is, and this was last night. i didn't say it didn't happen. >> i said it wasn't. i said it wasn't comparable. i said it wasn't. you said yes. absolutely. that was his whole point. it was a lie. he said the prime minister should show balance. it is a lie to say that anything comparable hasn't been happening. >> he shouldn't condemn that. >> he shouldn't condemn that. >> it is a lie to say he should condemn that. if you ask the prime minister to condemn criminality, a problem, he will clearly condemn all criminality. no, no, no, as i just said, he's not condemning all there is. no, he's not comparable. all criminality. >> this is the point. he's only blamed the far right. i don't want people setting fire to hotels in rochdale. i don't want opportunistic thugs going and looting a lush or a greggs. and i don't want this to happen ehhen >> another clip from birmingham last night where the mobs, the muslim mobs of men, would decided that a car had a white m

there's fresh unrest on streets in england tonight, in plymouth and in birmingham.the head of the national police chiefs council says the rioting is the worst he's seen in more than a decade and he acknowledged that police forces are being stretched. the prime minister has said thousands of specialist police officers would be available to deploy over the summer if the unrest continues. the disorder began in southport after the fatal stabbings of three girls. it was sparked by posts on social media which wrongly blamed the stabbings on a muslim migrant. devon and cornwall have just said 150 officers deployed in plymouth city centre tonight... they have also said violence will not be tolerated, hate will not be tolerated. work is ongoing to de—escalate the situation. with more on this our news correspondent chi chi uzundu. it would appear the demonstration started earlier this afternoon and they were largely peaceful. the police congratulated people who operated within the law, which they said was the majority of the demonstrators, but a small pocket of far right prot

and i think that's one of the great things about birmingham. really. it's a bit of tit—for—tat. it's meant to be a peaceful protest, but one bad thing gets said and itjust erupts into chaos. so it shouldn't really be happening. but this day and age, things do happen, because people's blood boils over certain things. there is an immigration centre nearby and online rumours spread about a possible demonstration and counter—demonstration. people are getting nervous. they don't like what they are seeing on the news and reading on social media, and they are especially worried when they hear that what they have seen happening might come to the area in which they live and work. and they want it to stop. kam is also shutting up shop. but he is staying around to keep an eye on his business. i feel on edge and i feel... i wouldn't say afraid, because we can't be afraid, obviously. but itjust puts everyone on edge. all my family is on edge. everyone around me is on edge, that is of colour, literally. and even a lot of white people are on edge, because the

can i just draw your attention to what jess phillips, labour mp for birmingham , labour mp for birminghame you saw this. it was during the footage of the sky news presenter that we've been showing where the guy comes up behind her and swears, and it's really unpleasant. and jess phillips tweeted these people come to this location because it has been spread that racists were coming to attack them. this misinformation was spread entirely to create this content . entirely to create this content. what she's basically saying is it's not their fault that those muslim boys went there. they were provoked. that is an indefensible thing for a sitting mp to say. it's basically saying it's not their responsibility . it's not their responsibility. if they want to go out there with a machete, i'll address that head on. >> first of all, your point about the far right, if what we have been seeing in the last few daysis have been seeing in the last few days is not far right. violence. bev i don't know what is. you should be a year old a 14 year old. you should be calling. you should be calling. what we sa

martin luther king's letter from birmingham jail, but there is really a protest happening in oakland, california, los angeles, new york, new jersey, st. louis, and that is i when john f. kennedy comes on national television on june 11, 1963, he said to the american people that there was a revolution happening, and it can be violent or peaceful, so when we think about the legislation passed in july of 1964, paralleling that legislation are continued movements for dignity and citizenship. the student nonviolent coordinating committee is organizing freedom summer throughout mississippi, and they will be over 2000 volunteers. many of them who work with local people, many of them jewish volunteers who are trying to bring small d democracy to the magnolia state. in fact, a few weeks before the passage of the civil rights act, three civil rights workers, two white and one black, andy goodman, james cheney were murdered outside of philadelphia, mississippi, and their bodies are not going to be recovered until august 4, 1964. it is not an instantaneous success in that way. people are literally

birmingham?, as far as i'm concerned, of course, there's a huge amount of information disinformation, that's going on on the internet, and we shouldn't stick anything by that. but we all have responsibility ourselves. we, as the muslim forum said, please do not attend any of these , not attend any of these, demonstrations or whatever happensin demonstrations or whatever happens in those areas because you will then become a part of that. you will then become a part of that . so our advice you will then become a part of that. so our advice is very clear. if there's something happening, please do not attend , happening, please do not attend, because if you attend, then you'll be contributing to all this violence. and please do not do that . do that. >> so if these, muslim community leaders are so good, why can't they get that message through to these kids ? these kids? >> well, look , i don't really >> well, look, i don't really believe any type of leaders , in believe any type of leaders, in any, a

as you can see on the screen there, the journalist who was just returned from birmingham , birminghamer, and andy neo, the senior editor at the post millennial and author of unmasked inside antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy, joins me now. andy, what's it like to be targeted by one of those famous men in the world? >> well, i'm thankful that elon chose to retweet a video of the violence that took place in birmingham because if you read the legacy media and you listen to what the politicians in this country have been saying , you country have been saying, you would get the impression that the violence is only coming from the violence is only coming from the far right, when in fact there have been violent counter—reactions in bolton , in counter—reactions in bolton, in middlesbrough, in stoke on trent, in birmingham by these so—called muslim patrol groups who have carried out vigilante violence. >> so it goes both ways, essentially. and your film has been to counteract the narrative elsewhere . elsewhere. >> i've been highlighting on social media a lot of live stream videos. i'v

birmingham, bristol, or so. birmingham, bristol, brighton, orso. east london come all of those areas that have been counter demonstrations, but no sign of the far right who had been threatening. we can talk to the former metropolitan police chief superintendent lucy manning wondering if this could be a tipping point, at some stage, i suppose the filing unrest we have seen over the last few days has to fizzle out, do you think this will be a tipping point —— and violence. it is difficult to say but i think the police will be cautious, they mobilise the 6000 officers and i recall from 2011 we have the disorder following the shooting of mark, i ended up working for 30 days without a day off. so i think the police will be very, very anxious that they have sufficient resources in place. they want to assure that the turn of the police numbers, where they are strategically placed, ready to go to the scene, but you will see the sentences speeding through. the three year sentence that you mention, if the person had not pleaded guilty, would have been five y

you just saw those scenes in birmingham at the end of daniel's piece.ight there to phil mackie. tell us more about what's happening. those pictures you just saw were taken a few hours ago and that was at a demonstration in the mostly green, alum rock part of the city, after there were speculation that there was a plant far right protest through that area this evening. it turned out to be. information but nonetheless hundreds of people turned up, many wearing masks and some carry weapons, but it was a largely peaceful demonstration and i was there for several hours. then a group of masked youths began behaving with low—level criminal behaviour, reckless driving, anti—social behaviour and what's happened at the last hour or so if they have broken off and a group of them have attacked cars and a pub elsewhere in the city. i havejust come off the phone with the police say there are investigating several cases of criminal damage and one of carrying an offensive weapon, and the mp of birmingham yardley, whose constituency that is, jess phillips, has just said

yeah, that's why i love birmingham and if anyone gets a chance to tour, yes, birmingham will. so you all know the birmingham is beloved in my heart and it has one of the most amazing rights legacies. but many people will walk that national monument and not realize that the masonic temple was by architect robert taylor. they won't realize. that 16th street baptist church in, the parsonage building, was designed by wallace rayfield. they don't realize that the birmingham civil rights institute was, designed by six second generation black architect. its name is slipping my mind now. but the fact that there are three black architects to design historic that's part of this national monument. i mean, we're passing architecturally significant every single day. and they seem these buildings to stand without that kind of significance and meaning. and that's why documentation, research and scholarship and having organizations like triple j, m and a scholar helping us to mine and discover the multiple layers of history imbued in these historic places is critical to understanding the full

those are the kind of messages that we are hearing from those counter demonstrators and birmingham. the uk is that although far right groups had issued a list of about 100 targets where they wanted to have demonstrations, this evening, so far really what we've seen have been counter demonstrations, antiracism demonstrators and protesters, protecting some of the potential targets like immigration offices, law firms that help asylum—seekers, those kind of things. we've seen these in brighton, birmingham, bristol i'm a quite a few towns and cities around the uk and harrow as well. we can go to your correspondent nickjohnson and see what the picture is there, nick. ., ., , and see what the picture is there, nick. ., .,, ., , , nick. one of the most religiously diverse communities _ nick. one of the most religiously diverse communities in _ nick. one of the most religiously l diverse communities in north-west diverse communities in north—west london, here is what we thought going to be a protest by a group organised by a right—wing group targeting an immigration officejust behind these p
