1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Kay Oliver's with us our UK and europe correspondence. Kay, 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: thank you for being with us. Violent outbreaks. This is 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: continuing in Southport, but also now Belfast and other places 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: around the UK. 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Ryan, We've got a Britain in the middle of 6 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 2: a summer of chaos. Here, we've got a new labor 7 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 2: government and Sir Keir Starma, the new Prime Minister, has 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: just said this is violence, not protests. We have seen 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 2: riots on the streets here. We've got people in Rotheram, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Bristol. 10 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: The latest breaking news is that lots of the media 11 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 2: have been urged on these streets to put their cameras away. 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 2: It is a dangerous place. We've had protesters attempting to 13 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 2: get into the holiday in Express in Rotherham where asylum 14 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 2: seekers are being housed. That's just been confirmed by the 15 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 2: Home Secretary of At Cooper. They've gone through and they 16 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 2: are trying literally to break up this hotel. The asylum 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 2: seekers are hiding in their bedrooms. They're a chance of 18 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: stop the boats. We want our country back. We've got 19 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: Hamza Yusuf. He's a former First Minister of Scotland saying 20 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: this situation is so out of control now that the 21 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 2: army should be brought in. We've got politicians from all 22 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: sides saying this is actual violence. They're condemn it, condemning 23 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 2: it and saying that it has to be brought under control. 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: We've got a second man has been charged with a 25 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 2: city center violent disorder in Liverpool. He's been remanded in custody, 26 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: but there are around about one hundred people now who've 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 2: been arrested. They obviously are going to have to go 28 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 2: through the legals and the legal and prison system which 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: is quite overstretched here anyway, and move. They're going to 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 2: have to be made to clear clear the decks so 31 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 2: that these people can be processed. But basically it's a 32 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: situation where Malaysia has become the first country to actually 33 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: advise its citizens over to the UK. I mean, all 34 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: this violent protests, so it really is building up to 35 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 2: be something unimaginable. We haven't seen riots here since twenty eleven, Ryan, 36 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: and this really is actually the lid has come off here. 37 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at a live feed from Rotherham where 38 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: the police are being vetted by projectiles. They're trying to 39 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: hold the line. This is in front of the hotel 40 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: with these poor asylum seekers are being housed. I mean 41 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: this is unreal. 42 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: Well, absolutely, the police have become the targets. They're in 43 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 2: the middle of this. You've got on one side, you've 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 2: got the far right. On the other side, you've got 45 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 2: the anti racist protesters. The police are in the middle 46 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: and they're getting it from all sides. A number of 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: police officers have been taken to hospital. We've seen a 48 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: female police officer officer who literally had a table hurled 49 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: into her face. So they really are taking a battering 50 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 2: here and it's getting worse. The situation is not dying down. 51 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: No, it's certainly not.
