UK riots: 400 arrested amid far-right violence and clashes with police
Around 400 people have been arrested and some have been appearing in court today over violence in Sheffield, Sunderland, Liverpool, Southport, Hartlepool and Belfast.
Yesterday far-right troublemakers targeted hotels containing asylum seekers.
One was in Tamworth, a few miles north of here.
In another in Rotherham they tried to set a Holiday Inn on fire with people still inside it.
