we've _ croydon. lots of police up on the streets there. we've just - croydon.st been told, actually, _ streets there. we've just been told, actually, that this is not linked to those _ actually, that this is not linked to those possible far right protests. 0r those possible far right protests. or any— those possible far right protests. or any response to them. it actually appears to be linked to pure anti—social behaviour in croydon and pleaser moving in there to make arrests, so not linked to the protest that a large number of police on the streets there in croydon, you can see them in the van and sent out on the streets. there are a large number of antiracist protests in the uk this evening. these are

here in croydon. as mayor of london sadiq khan praises police .adiq khan praises police. >> elsewhere, the king's concern king charles asked the government for daily updates on the protests as tensions remain high across the country and doctors are at breaking point. >> the general medical council has warned that a third of gps are struggling to cope with their workload. do you have any sympathy for them and why is it happening? >> and i've had my fair share of experiences with them this week. the airline , easyjet, they want the airline, easyjet, they want to recruit over 50 to their cabin crew as apparently middle aged men or people at least are craving a new challenge. have you ever changed career later on in life ? in life? >> good morning andrew pierce here in edinburgh for the festival, which is the biggest arts fest of its kind in europe , arts fest of its kind in europe, i'll be talking to acts, comedians and i'm also going to be to talking politicians about why the scottish national party is losing its vise like grip on scotland. it's bee

and what was the scene like in croydon last night ? croydon last night?t and ten of them took place here in croydon. police saying around 50 youths gathered here in north end. that's the main shopping area. just pan around. if you've been watching social media video, you'll recognise some of these stores and some of these scenes. it's obviously a very quiet scene this morning and i certainly cannot see any sign of major disruption , sign of major disruption, destruction, certainly no smashed windows. we've got a few boarded up shops here, but it's hard to tell whether that's just because they're having some kind of refit rather than trying to prevent any kind of criminality. very interestingly, the police are saying that this was not the far right. it wasn't even counter—protesters, simply people intent on causing pure anti—social behaviour. although ihave anti—social behaviour. although i have spoken to local people and they're telling me that it was actually a demonstration against the edl. of course, that's not the view that the police is taking. so th

last night in croydon.hortly. but i did want to. we both wanted to bring this to your attention because, keir starmer was asked earlier about the incidents last night and he was very positive. oh was the we handled it well as politicians. we really well as a police. and then the final question he was asked was basically , okay, are asked was basically, okay, are you now going to do anything to address people's concerns about immigration? here's what he had to say . to say. >> if we have indeed turned a corner and seen an end to the violence, is now the time to engage with the underlying tensions that are in communities over the issue of immigration. >> the first priority is safety and security of our communities. and yes, last night was much better than was expected. but we are not going to, you know, give up on our efforts here. that's why it's very important that i continue my discussions coordinating with law enforcement, with police leaders to make sure we've got the right officers in the right place to

we saw what happened in croydon. we saw what happened in croydon.in a couple of these other protests as well. we were oh, told, that's got nothing to do with these protests. that's just anti—social behaviour. now we've got the met coming out and saying everything is fine. the the, the front pages, even on the, the front pages, even on the daily mail and the daily express yesterday coming out and being like, oh, we stood down, we, we, we snarled in the face of the far right. and i thought, hang on a minute, are we being told the full truth here? >> with respect, patrick, i think this is conspiracy theorising gone far too far. the reality is, for day after day for nine days, we saw thousands of violent thugs on the streets throwing bricks at the police, attacking mosques , firebombing attacking mosques, firebombing hotels. that has been happening now. it didn't happen last night. why one, i think it's about clear messaging from the government, the police and the director of public prosecutions that if you engage in this stuff, you are going to be hit

the met police said approximately 50 people have gathered in north end road in croydon.use disruption and fuel disorder. they've dragged and thrown objects down the road, thrown bottles at officers. this is not unked bottles at officers. this is not linked to protests. this appears to be pure anti—social behaviour. officers are moving in numbers to make the arrest. this is also the scene a little bit earlier on in brighton, where there have been some more flashpoints today and so we can show you, show you some of that now. so, this was one of the largest, quotes and quotes anti—fascist refugees welcome slash pro—palestine gatherings that you will see, there was a brief moment where a couple of people turned up, and there was shouts of nazi scum, etc. i'm just going to show you a clip of walthamstow as well. this is in london. so the reports were saying that around 10,000 people turned up in walthamstow today. and can i just say that appears to be a common denominator at all of these things, which is that there does not appear to be any far right presence. there doesn't.

in croydon that was that was regarded as, anti—social thuggery?ing it. i don't want to actually gloss over, though, the fact that, this labour councillor has been arrested. i think this is really quite interesting because i can show you the tweet actually from met police there, and i thought this was quite interesting. they took the step of retweeting the clip that i've just shown you. look, this is, met police on twitter. now so they actually retweeted that clip. essentially our quote tweeted it, whatever you want to call it and said an update. officers have arrested a man agedin officers have arrested a man aged in his 50s at an address in south—east london. he was held on on suspicion of encouraging murder and for an offence under the public order act. he is in custody at a south london police station now, obviously because he's been arrested. i do need to let due legal process take, you know, it's kind of process there so i won't really comment too much on that. you can all see that with your eyes and your ears. what i find fascinating, though

in croydon, although there were a few arrests, things were generally peaceful.ch between two mosques in accrington was greeted by people drinking at the pub. and this was the scene in newcastle. of course, protect our mosques because we believe this is our house and this is house of god. and i think for them to stand up and really want to go around and try to destroy our mosques is something really heinous. there were some isolated incidents. aldershot was seemingly one of the few places the right wing protests materialised. in brighton, they were so outnumbered they needed police protection. nazi scum, off our streets! according to the man who used to oversee the police, it's not only the counter—protests that kept the far right off the streets, but also swift prosecutions. the techniques and the instruments that the police have now for identifying people, even with face coverings, i won't go into detail, are very, very advanced. and also, it is an offence to have a face covering — to maintain a face covering — if ordered to take it off by a police officer. so,
