speaking a little earlier, metropolitan police commissioner mark rowley gave an update on how policeor what is feared to be another day of unrest. protecting communities is at the core of policing, that is why as police chiefs we have been meeting regularly over the last few days and we have decided to marshal thousands of police officers across the country. we have changed our tactics in the last few days, so besides marshaling more officers, we're brigading some of them at key strategic locations across the country to give us more agility to respond to wherever the protests are most intense. so we can respond with agility and show overwhelming force, so the criminals on the street don't succeed. we are hearing about specifically immigration centres or immigration lawyers targeted — how concerned are you for people in that space tonight? so, we have seen that list circulated, that is at the centre of our planning for tonight. i'm also keeping an open mind on other possibilities and other intelligence coming into our system — that is why we have thousands of officers on tonight. we w

. >> the nando's worker violently assaulted by customers, breaks her silence as the metropolitan policeing her nothing could be done about the attack. do you trust our police anymore ? anymore? >> and there is no current lead in the uk? >> that's why we're here. that's why you're in the situation. >> the home office raids hundreds of car washes across the country and detains 75 illegal immigrants. labour promises to turbocharge deportations by kicking out 14,500 of them. by the end of the year. tomorrow's newspaper front pages are coming imminently, and my panel are ready to get stuck in. joining me tonight is activist and campaigner peter tatchell, former tory mp and education minister andrea jenkyns, and the journalist and communications adviser linda doebele. and what's happening here? oh my god, it's a person of colour. >> hi. person of colour. >> hi. person of colour. >> are you okay? yes. no you're not. you're not . not. you're not. okay? >> why were the police too chicken to arrest violent nando's scumbags. next. >> very good evening to you. back to ben in just a few minutes time

so shortly before i came to air, the metropolitan police said this.and found someone in possession of a gun. they also arrested someone at the event with a firearm and someone who was wanted for attempted murder . was wanted for attempted murder. there have been 145 arrests today, 40 for possession of an offensive weapon, not including the guns. i just spoke about 16 assaults of emergency workers, three violent assaults with injury . politicians would not be injury. politicians would not be celebrating any other event where that level of criminality took place. now they turn a blind eye to it. in my view, because it's mainly attended by ethnic minorities and they don't want to seem racist. but facts aren't racist. notting hill carnival is two things at the same time. okay it's a nice, fun day out where the majority of people enjoy themselves. it is also a mass crime event. they can't ignore the last bit there, and they can't lie to us and say that they'd let this keep on going ahead. year after year. if this happened on an annual saint george's day pa

for anyone to be left i feeling like that within the metropolitan police service, i'm just so sorry _ to when people join us, to vetting those people - within the organisation, - making sure we're getting rid of those people who don't uphold our high standards and values. _ you're a white officer, and these are black and brown officers telling me that they're experiencing racism. some of them may think that you being in charge of cultural reform is uncomfortable for them. we're supporting the national police race action plan - with deputy assistant commissioner dr alison heydari, _ who who is a black woman, you know, the most senior black female - in policing nationally. i think that's a really - significant commitment. someone made racist comments about a black officer's hair, and that person was given what they call learning through reflection, which is where they talk through the incident with you and tell you what you should have done. that's not a harsh penalty for racist comments, they're just not sending a no tolerance message. we understand some have been told these comments a

sir robert peel, who founded the metropolitan police, said the police are the public and the public are the state in the way that they are in many, many other countries. {jut in many, many other countries. out althou:h in many, many other countries. out although there are claims from some of the protesters, some of those committing disorder, there is a kind of two—tiered policing as they would call it where protest by ethnic minorities and so on get a softer treatment from the police. that is the claim or the allegations. i don't buy the two—tier point, but the final point in relation to your last point is because these are people of the community, the police were taking a real battering, missiles and fans being set alight and so on, and therefore the community were coming out to stand with their friends community were coming out to stand with theirfriends and community were coming out to stand with their friends and their families and their neighbours who are the police, to protect the police and to show the police that they have their support. i think that's an enormously powerful ill

the metropolitan police commissioner thanked communities for their show of unity and praised officers so far nearly 500 people have been arrested, and 140 charged, "149 in connection with the violence seen in towns and cities since last week and more lengthy prison sentences have been handed down to men involved in rioting. our uk affairs correspondent daniel sandford has the latest. missile! they were the worst riots in more than a decade. this footage just released show is the intense pressure officers were under at the height of the riots in liverpool. in london, in an early—morning knock today as police raided the homes of those suspected of being involved in rioting last week. the tactic is to arrest people as soon as they can be identified and put them before the courts as quickly as possible. london's most senior officer was himself on some of the raids. these are criminal thugs. any suggestion they are patriots or they have a cause that they are protesting about is nonsense. they are criminals and frankly most of them are going to be charged with violent disorder and most of t

with me is now is dal babu, former chief superintendent at the metropolitan police. l, we're seeing all these counter protesters, what will the police think of that? will they welcome that is something that might deter the far right, or would they be worried that it could just ignite clashes? i be worried that it could 'ust ignite clashes? ~ ., , ., ., , be worried that it could 'ust ignite clashes? ~, ., , clashes? i think as long as people have engaged _ clashes? i think as long as people have engaged with _ clashes? i think as long as people have engaged with the _ clashes? i think as long as people have engaged with the police - clashes? i think as long as people have engaged with the police and | have engaged with the police and they have an understanding of where there will be, the police, it's a positive relationship. the police will understand that people will have anxiety about what's been happening with the far right coming into their areas and causing mayhem and rioting, burning libraries and attacking mosques. ithink and rioting, burning libraries and atta

speaking earlier outside the headquarters of the metropolitan police. nisers of notting hill carnival put out a statement that reads... the mayor of london sadiq khan issued a statement this afternoon once the police had confirmed that cher maximen and mussie imnetu had died from the injuries. he said it was heartbreaking that they had died after being attacked in separate incidents. my thoughts are with their family and friends at this terrible time. the violence is shocking, completely unacceptable and a betrayal of the values that the carnival was founded to celebrate. vaccinations against polio have started in gaza — a day before a mass immunsation programme is due to begin. the un has confirmed the main roll—out will start on sunday at 7.30 in the morning, local time. it will begin in in deir al—balah in central gaza for children between five to ten years old. unicef says that the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours each day until wednesday. it's urged parents in gaza to bring their children, stressing that the vaccinations are fre

so that's what the metropolitan police are confirming this evening. they do not believe the suspect was known to the victims. and that's all we have to go on at this time, tom. it's a very confusing scenes. as you can see, it is still an active crime scene. so you still the area is still cordoned off, although most of the police and the forensic teams have now left with their bagged evidence . but we expect bagged evidence. but we expect this to be closed for quite some time yet into the evening. >> well, thank you very much, adam, for being there for us and, letting us know precisely what went on. thank you. now, weeks of disorder, multiple stabbings in broad daylight, and the prime minister hinting letting prisoners out early to free up space in our prisons. just what's going on with law and order in britain? well, let's get the views of my panel now. the author and broadcaster amy nicole turner and the daily telegraph columnist tim stanley . telegraph columnist tim stanley. amy, it does feel like sort of the social fabric of the united kingdom is b
