On August 5, Plymouth witnesses a tense standoff between police and protesters as unrest continues to engulf the UK. Footage from British broadcaster Sky reveals a significant police presence, including dogs, and captures one individual being detained amidst the chaos. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announces plans to deploy a “standing army” of specialized police to address the ongoing rioting. He also outlines measures to enhance the justice system's capacity to manage the hundreds of arrests expected following a week of violent disturbances across the country. Starmer's urgent response follows what he describes as “far-right thuggery,” exacerbated by misinformation circulating on social media. This false information inflamed public outrage over a recent stabbing rampage at a dance class, which tragically resulted in the deaths of three girls and injuries to ten others. Online rumors incorrectly identifying the suspect as a Muslim asylum-seeker have fueled attacks against immigrants and mosques. #ukprotest #ukstabbing #plymouth #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
