1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: The riots spending violence in the UK. Devin Gray's a

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: UK and Europe correspondent Gavin Good to have you on

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: the program this morning. What's Elon Musk talking about civil war?

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Very interesting, Ryan, So he's tweeted but on X

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: that he said civil war is inevitable. It was in

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 2: response to a video showing people aiming fireworks at police.

7
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: The Prime minister spokesperson hit backs and there's absolutely no

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: justification and said that actually social media companies should be

9
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 2: doing more in order to control some of the wild

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: rumors sweeping on it and the fact they're being used

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: as sort of invitations to come and organize a riot

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: sort of thing. Anyway, it wasn't over then because then

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: Elon Musk replied saying that Sekir Starmer, our prime minister

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 2: had said he would not tolerate at tax on mosques

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: or Muslim communities, to which Elon musks, well, shouldn't you

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: be concerned about attacks on all communities? He said, when

17
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: he saw a video of a person being arrested for

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: offensive comments online, he asked, is this Britain or the

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Soviet Union? I can't see Ryan, this row ending anytime soon.

20
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 2: I don't think Elon Musk will start tweeting stop tweeting,

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: and I don't think that we are going to see

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister back down either. This disorder, as you

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: pointed out, has now lasted a week and now the

24
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: government is citing that it may well start to use

25
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: terrorism legislation in order to take some of those responsible

26
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: to court.

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: Goodness, mate, the man's been hospitalized as well.

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: This is in Belfast, yeah, and I think it's an

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: indication of the fact that this is not just about

30
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: far right motives or about immigration, because police in Belfast,

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: in Northern Ireland are saying that this attack, which left

32
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: this man in his fifties really pretty seriously injured and

33
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: he's in a hospital, definitely included a paramilitary element. What

34
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: does that mean where you'll remember the struggles and the

35
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 3: truble in Ireland, Northern Ireland in the seventies and eighties

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: and the terrorism element there and in this particular issue,

37
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 3: witnesses reported seeing attack a stamp on this man's head.

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: They believe it was racially motivated, while other members of

39
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: the public tried to shield this man. There was prior

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: to the attack a lot of petrol bomb throwing, masonry

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: and bricks also thrown towards police, and a land rover

42
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: from the Police Service of Northern Ireland set alighte Up

43
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: to one hundred people involved, three hundred police officers trying

44
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 3: to keep the peace. We've been sephalite and stones thrown,

45
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: pretty ugly scenes and here we are, just one week
