one particular pocket of disorder can call on resources from a neighbouring force, perhaps greater manchester policelice forces in the country feel confident that they can at this stage deal with the level of disorder that we have seen. but as we have mentioned, police forces and the national police chiefs' council have made it very clear that even if there have only been a handful of arrests at the protests themselves, they are working with intelligence and they have said that if you have been involved in the violence in these protests in recent days there will be a knock on your door in the coming days. will be a knock on your door in the coming deve— will be a knock on your door in the coming days. thank you for bringing us up-to-date _ coming days. thank you for bringing us up-to-date and _ coming days. thank you for bringing us up-to-date and giving _ coming days. thank you for bringing us up-to-date and giving is - coming days. thank you for bringing us up-to-date and giving is that - us up—to—date and giving is that overview of what has been happening throughout the day across england. let's

for example, just to give you an idea of what greater manchester police are saying, they say a sectiondispersal notice has been authorised covering the area of bolton until ten o'clock on sunday night because they are expecting a protest there later. this is the latest in what has been a series of days of pockets of unrest, and police had been anticipating unrest in rotherham and they are expecting a protest to be taking place in bolton later. merseyside police have introduced to section 60 orders which give officers greater stop and search powers, covering both liverpool and southport, and you may have seen, if you watched the news, images yesterday of the disruption, the disturbances, rather, in liverpool where there were demonstrations and there were actually protests and counter protests taking place in liverpool. we seem to have lost the link there but that was the scene live in rotherham, in south yorkshire, where a hotel has been targeted by demonstrators and rioting seems to have continued there but there are riot police keeping things in check. there will be more on this throu

greater manchester police hasn't responded to the allegations in that news conference.been outlining what else the family have been saying. there was the video you showed there which went viral which was filmed by a passer—by and you can see an armed police officer and in the latter part of last month kicking at a man who was lying on the ground in the face and stamping on his head and his brother you can see later on was hit in the back of the head by an officer with a taser. then the manchester evening news some days later obtained cctv footage, showing the two brothers repeatedly punching police officers were clearly trying to apprehend them. most police officers were all knocked to the ground. in this press conference was held today this hotel in manchester today, it was an attempt by the family of those two brothers to add some extra context because they are concerned, their suspicion was that extra cctv was released by greater manchester police was released to change the narratives of the police looked better because they were giving all sorts of criticism of the

they also revealed that some family members are police officers themselves, with greater manchester policeolice. >> well, our reporter jack carson was at the press conference and joins us now. jack what more did the family say? and his lawyer say at the press conference? >> well, quite extraordinary press conference, really , press conference, really, particularly in terms of the details that the family's lawyer had shared around the context. of course, around those viral videos that, you know, that were all over of course, the internet showing, of course, an officer, kicking one of these men, allegedly in the head and of course, the injuries that we'd heard about, of course, on that and also the injuries of the police officers as well, that greater manchester police had confirmed around these altercations at manchester airport. now, the context that the family's lawyer provided today say that the incident started when actually the mother, of course, involved in this, mrs. akhtar, was on a flight from pakistan and for the duration of the flight, the family's lawyers allege that she receive

so on friday the 26th of july, this is from greater manchester police. made at manchester airport on the same day. they have now since said that a second greater manchester police officer has been advised that they are also under criminal investigation . under criminal investigation. well, we've all seen a lot of the cctv , haven't we, which the cctv, haven't we, which appeared to show numerous police officers being attacked, including a female police officer that had her nose broken , officer that had her nose broken, allegedly. and we have also seen the other footage as well. of course , of a couple of course, of a couple of individuals being, well, one of them anyway, being kicked in the head. what are your thoughts on this? we are going to have much more detail on this when we come back with mark wise. >> i should say they're being investigated for potential gross misconduct, and that's for these alleged breaches of police professional standards, including, as patrick says, their use of force. so yes, do get in touch. gbnews.com/yoursay mark white wi

we were talking about how will greater manchester police respond to this? and why have they done this press conference? obviously they want to get their story ahead, but what else is there to this backside covering exercise. >> get your story out in court. you get absolutely every additional way. >> yeah exactly. very very odd indeed. >> defence makes its case. the prosecution makes its case. >> lots of damning allegations against greater manchester police. so we have to see how they are going to respond maybe in the next few hours. keep in touch. but of course we can't go away without saying big up team gb yeah. keely hodgkinson, gold 800 metre final last night in paris. >> absolutely brilliant. some good news. >> we might win gold in the 1500 metres. >> yes, yes , quite possibly >> yes, yes, quite possibly exciting. and this fight between elon musk and the government. goodness me. what's going to happen there ? i mean it's more happen there? i mean it's more you know, it's more excuse for the government to clamp down hard, isn't it, on social media. what

so greater manchester police are also investigating the people that hurt the police in the first placet, i mean, they should clearly be i don't know if they have been arrested. >> have they? they still they're out and about. the two, the two brothers also, there was a press conference, the other day with a lawyer. so i don't know if they actually parallel. >> greater manchester police is investigating investigating, but that's not the same as being arrested. >> i mean, it's it strikes me as absolutely astonishing. and also given the current anxieties about two tier policing, you would think they would be pretty clear about nailing these people who committed such horrible acts of violence in an airport. you would think it would just happen automatically. yeah, it would happen anyway. >> so there was another video footage of two bystanders filming. yes. and then being kind of maced and they were like, no, no, no. and then but but look, police are rocking up on the scene. they're seeing their colleagues on the floor, broken noses, people taking whatever they're seeing people. they're they

now a second greater manchester police officer is under criminal investigation for assault after an incident at manchester airport last month that has been announced by the independent police watchdog. it comes after a video emerged of a man appearing to be kicked and punched by a police officer at the airport in july. three days later, the iopc announced a police constable was under criminal investigation. the iopc says it has since received a further referral of a complaints detailing several allegations from one of the people involved. >> the second police officer is also being investigated for potential gross misconduct for alleged breaches of police professional standards, including use of force . police including use of force. police have ramped up efforts to pursue rioters as the total number of arrests rises to 483. 149 charges have been made, with that figure expected to rise significantly as investigations continue. the prime minister will chair another cobra meeting later to reflect on last night and plan for the coming days , and plan for the coming days, adding it's important we

that is according to the chief constable of greater manchester police. er manchester last weekend. several men also charged on some convicted for their part in the disorder seen in piccadilly gardens and bolton town centre. more on that as it comes into us. and a reminder you can get the very latest on the violent disorder online, with our team of correspondents across the uk and a stream of the latest pictures online. you can find that on the bbc news website, or app. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. a day after the prime minister of bangladesh, sheikh hasina, was dramatically forced from power, the parliament has now been dissolved. student protesters had set a deadline for the dissolution. they want a new interim goverment, to be led by nobel prize winner muhammad yunus. and in the last few hours, the leading opposition figure and former prime minister khaleda zia has been released from prison. she was jailed six years ago on corruption charges that critics say were false. let's get the latest from the bbc�*s akbar hossein, who joi

i suppose with it is how on earth greater manchester police have managed to lose the narrative on this but twice, right? because there's been a void that's been filled here, hasn't there? and do you think with your police expert head on. right. do you think that there is a worry going on at the moment with greater manchester police or at the cps? i don't know where they're thinking. well, if we do charge people then that could inflame tensions in the community. do you think that that will be having an impact on them? >> yes, of course. and you could see that with the original incident where they knew full well there were other videos and yet they still took the decision to suspend that officer who in my judgement, having been in many physical confrontations, was the hero of the day in neutralising two people who'd already taken out two female firearms officers, he took command. that guy, he was the one in charge. fair play to him. but what they did is instead of saying, well, we'll wait and see, they took the decision to suspend him . and now the crown suspend him. and now the crown pr

a dispersal notice was authorised across manchester city centre in order to assist police in dealing with protests, according to greaterchester police. in hull, humberside police said officers suffered injuries after a group of people targeted a hotel which houses asylum seekers, smashing windows in. and anti—fascist protesters were kept apart from far right groups by police in leeds after they began hurling insults at each other. in bristol, these scenes were replicated with the police bearing the brunt. we will stand together. and in belfast, clashes with anti—immigration and anti—racism protesters faced off in tense scenes outside the city hall while police in riot gear were deployed on the streets. not all demonstrations held across the uk descended into violence, and in many places, protesters dispersed by the evening. but with fears of more protests today, there are worries that more shocking images like this treatment of a police motorbike rider could emerge. greg mckenzie, bbc news. my colleague lucy grey spoke with home office minister dame diana johnson. this has been obviously a very tough and difficult week

in times of greater manchester police, no response specifically about their chief constable was speakingsaid he was constrained by what he could say because of this investigation. you mention as the top, one specific allegation was that after this incident, one of the site drags away one of the two brothers, effectively putting him in a head lock and put him in an area of the airport without cctv and slammed him face down onto the ground. the reason the officer did that, it was alleged, is because the brother had asked why his body come was not on and he also told one of the brothers that he would kill them —— that the brothers had told them he would kill it whether in their uniform or without.— he would kill it whether in their uniform or without. thank you so much for your— uniform or without. thank you so much for your report _ uniform or without. thank you so much for your report there i uniform or without. thank you so much for your report there from | much for your report there from manchester. i just much for your report there from manchester. ijust went much for your report there

because it was essentially allegation after allegation against greater manchester police, against theeater manchester mayor andy burnham as well? this press conference was called, in the eyes of the family's lawyers to try and reset the narrative, to try and reset the narrative, to try and reset the narrative, to try and provide the context to all of the incidents. of course, those those two viral videos, of course, that were all across social media after that incident at manchester airport in late july. of course, you know, one showing, of course, an officer appearing to kick a man in the head when he was being restrained on the floor of course, and the others with the man punching, officers in the head. and we know, of course, that there were injuries sustained by those officers because greater manchester police, of course, confirmed that there had been injuries , of that there had been injuries, of course, two, two, two officers as well as, of course, one officer having a broken nose as well. but the press conference in the in the lawyers essentially claimed that police had also le

greater manchester police quickly sent officers to try and keep them all apart, but it led to a majorits of tile and stone were launched. police managed to keep the volatile situation under control and both sides apart, forcing a return to the town hall. at one point, a cricket and baseball bat were confiscated. after a number of hours being kept apart in front of bolton town hall, the police are now moving these counter protesters away from the area. in the past hour, the police have also been granted extra powers, giving them authority to ask people to remove face coverings that was concealing their identities. community leaders who were part of the counterprotest said they wanted to send a strong message that racism and islamophobia wasn't welcome here. they're jumping on anything, do you know what i mean? and they're trying to divide our communities. i mean, look — i'm born and bred here, my kids are born and bred here. we're part of britain now. you know, they've got to accept it. what's all this about "take �*em home" and "send �*em home"? you know what i mean? an increased poli
