The Riots, the Rioters and the Response

Today, we look at the almost 400 arrests made after violence across the country over the past six days.

Sir Keir Starmer chaired an emergency meeting of Cobra on Monday morning to discuss the government’s response to the violent disorder. He announced a ‘standing army’ of police officers to help tackle the riots.

But, what do we know about the people taking part? How will the legal system cope? And, what happens next?

James Cook is in for Adam and is joined by political correspondent Alex Forsyth, home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani and investigations correspondent Daniel De Simone. Sima Kotecha speaks to James from Bolton about the impact of the riots on the community.
