News summary

In response to recent violent riots linked to far-right groups across the UK, the government has announced plans for courts to potentially operate 24 hours a day to expedite the processing of offenders. Policing Minister Dame Diana Johnson emphasized that the government is committed to holding those responsible for the violence accountable, stating that 'if you engage in this type of criminal thuggery on our streets, you will be held to account.' The riots, which have resulted in numerous injuries to police officers and widespread disorder in cities like Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull, were reportedly fueled by misinformation regarding a tragic incident involving three young girls. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has confirmed that the police will receive full backing to address the escalating violence. Recent discussions among ministers, the judiciary, and police leaders suggest emergency measures may be implemented to manage the surge in arrests effectively.
