British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that UK protesters will fill the full force of
00:07
the law following what he called widespread disorder. During a high-level government meeting,
00:14
400 arrests and 100 charges have already been made.
00:19
Prior to this meeting, Elon Musk had posted on his social media platform X that civil
00:46
war is inevitable in the UK, highlighting complaints by other ex-users that the British
00:53
criminal justice system treats Muslims more leniently than far-right activists. Although
00:59
Starmer avoided commenting directly on this, he said his focus was on ensuring that all
01:05
communities are safe. In Southport, mourners gathered at St. Patrick's Church in remembrance
01:11
of Alice Dalsilva Aguiar, a nine-year-old girl who was killed in last week's knife attack.
01:17
Families and friends paid a tribute to the little girl with a send-off of white balloons.
01:22
The riots were sparked by the spread of misinformation about the identity of the suspect.
