00:00British police charge a 17-year-old boy with the murder of three young girls, aged six
00:05to nine, in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift yoga and dance workshop.
00:09Eight other children bore stab wounds, with five in critical condition, along with two
00:13adults.
00:14Disturbances broke out in the northwest town of Southport on Tuesday after false information
00:19was spread on social media that the suspect behind the stabbings was a radical Islamist
00:23migrant.
00:24Police say the suspect was born in Britain and it was not an act of terrorism.
00:28More than 50 police officers were hurt when demonstrators set police vans on fire and
00:33hurled bricks at officers.
00:35In London on Wednesday, protesters threw flares and smoked canisters towards Downing Street,
00:39shouting,
00:40''We want our country back'' and ''Stop the boats''.
00:42Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls it ''far-right thuggery'' and ''not legitimate protest''.
