Anti-racism protesters take part in a "Stop the Far-right" demonstration outside of the headquarters of the Reform UK political party in London after far-right riots shook British cities last week. IMAGES
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says people taking part in far-right riots will "feel the full force of the law", following hundreds of arrests and ongoing convictions, while visiting a mosque and meeting members of the Muslim community in western England. "We need to make sure that in the coming days, we can give the necessary reassurance to our communities. Many of whom, I've been talking to some this morning, are very anxious about the situation," he tells reporters. IMAGES
Anti-racist demonstrators march in Oxford, north-west of London, to oppose days of far-right violence that have UK police on high alert. Demonstrators hold signs reading "refugees welcome" and "fascists not welcome in our city" as nightly riots, during which mosques and migrant targets have been attacked, have erupted across towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland since three children were murdered on July 29.

Counter-protesters gather in London as Britain remains on high alert for more violent far-right protests across the country. Protesters can be heard chanting, "Refugees are welcome here" in London's Walthamstow area after nightly riots, during which mosques and migrant targets have been attacked, have erupted in English towns and cities since three children were murdered on July 29.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says a "standing army" of police will combat far-right riots that have flared across England, calling for ramped up criminal justice to ensure arrested offenders feel "the full force of the law". Starmer was speaking after an emergency response meeting bringing together ministers and the police to discuss how to quell the violence that first broke out in Southport, northwest England, on July 29 over the murder of three children.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he can "guarantee" that far-right rioters would "regret" participating in violent disturbances that have spread across England in recent days. "This is not protest. It is organised, violent thuggery. And it has no place on our streets or online," Starmer said as he addresses the nation on the fifth day of skirmishes between protesters and police. SOUNDBITE
