UK riots RECAP: Chaos in Hull as looters set store on fire while in Liverpool police officer has 'jaw broken' in violent clash with protesters

Daily Mail  

Hundreds of people gathered in Sunderland last night for a planned protest in the wake of the Southport stabbings on Monday. Axel Rudakubana, 17, has been charged with murdering Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, the attempted murder of 10 other people and possession of an offensive weapon. A false name and a suggestion that he was Muslim spread on social media - allegedly from a Russian news website - and generated momentum among far-right thugs who have used the killings as an excuse to target mosques and run riot. There has also been violence in London, Hartlepool, Aldershot and Manchester - the latter two seeing thugs protest outside hotels housing asylum seekers. Witnesses say last night's riots in Sunderland unfolded after hundreds gathered in the city centre and chanted in support of Tommy Robinson - with police forming a ring of protection around a local mosque amid fears it would be targeted by rioters.
