UK: Far-right rioters storm hotel housing migrants
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed to do "whatever it takes" to bring those responsible to justice. Riots have spread across the country after misinformation was spread about a knife attack that killed three girls.
Police in the northern English city of Rotherham struggled to hold back a group of far-right activists on Sunday, who broke into a hotel believed to be housing asylum seekers.
The disturbance is the latest in a series of violent protests by anti-immigration groups in British towns and cities this week after three girls were killed in a knife attack in Southport in northwest England on Monday.
Footage aired on British TV showed officers with shields targeted by a barrage of projectiles outside the Holiday Inn Express hotel in Rotherham, near Sheffield.
A few minutes later, the protesters can be seen storming the building and removing chairs from inside to use as weapons.
A small fire was also visible while windows in the hotel were smashed.
At least one officer was injured in the confrontation.

People who think England is all tea & crumpets need to see this.
There is quite a lot of far right thugs in the UK, starting with number of Tories.
Don't forget the hereditary right wing head of state.
He's a hippie who likes talking to plants. There's a quote from thatcher implying the problem with the royals is they'd be SDP voters.
Sure they head the church and military but associating them with the right isn't really accurate
