How a Belfast knife attack led to violent protest | Global News Podcast
Violent anti-immigration protests have taken place in Belfast after a Sudanese man was charged with attempted murder, in connection with a horrific knife attack.
Hundreds of men, dressed in black and wearing masks, took to the streets of the Northern Irish capital. Homes and cars were set on fire, as some protestors reportedly went door to door, searching for immigrants. The scene was described as a “race-based pogrom” by Social Democratic and Labour Party leader Claire Hanna. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has appealed for calm.
There are reports that the protests were organised by far-right leaders in other parts of the UK, intent on stirring up anti-immigrant sentiment.
This comes just days after protests in England, over the murder of Henry Nowak and his treatment by police in the moments before his death. Both cases have highlighted the growing political division over race, multiculturalism and immigration in the UK.
We speak to our UK political correspondent Rob Watson.

Iran and the US appear to be returning to all-out war, after 10 nights of escalating US airstrikes, and growing Iranian reprisals.
The Pentagon has confirmed that almost 100 US service personnel have been injured in the conflict in the past fortnight, while three US soldiers have been killed.
Iran’s revolutionary guards have targeted US military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain and carried out more attacks on tankers in the strait of Hormuz. Commercial shipping through the key shipping lane has again come to a standstill, putting further pressure on global energy supplies.
Yemen’s Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have announced a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia, further threatening transit of oil and natural gas.

Marcus Rashford campaign wins children right to free school meals during summer holidays – BBC News
Around 1.3 million children in England will be able to claim vouchers for free school meals during the summer holidays, following a campaign led by the Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford.
Ministers had previously said they would not agree to free school meals vouchers outside term time.
The prime minister Boris Johnson praised Mr Rashford’s “contribution to the debate around poverty”.
Scotland and Wales will also continue with a voucher programme while Northern Ireland is considering an extension.

US Central Command (Centcom) said the wave of strikes were “designed to continue degrading Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping” in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state media reported that air defences were activated in the capital Tehran. Explosions were also reported in Tabriz, Chabahar, Konarak, and in Bushehr, home to Iran’s only nuclear power plant.
Iran, which has retaliated against the US and its Middle East allies, warned of reprisals after Donald Trump said the US would soon hit an underground nuclear site near Natanz.

Russia’s UN ambassador walked out of a security council meeting after the President of the European Council blamed the Russian invasion of Ukraine for causing the global food crisis.
European Council chief Charles Michel said during the meeting in New York that Russia was using food supplies as a ‘stealth missile’ against the developing world forcing people into poverty.
The Russian envoy Vasily Nebenzya has accused Mr Michel of spreading lies.

A man suspected of carrying out a terror rampage at a Berlin Pride event has been shot dead by police.
German police say officers fired at Abdul Ballout after he rushed towards them with a knife. They say he died at the scene.
Prosecutors say that Ballout drove a van into a crowd and stabbed multiple people in an attack that left one woman dead and at least 29 injured.
Ballout was a 21-year-old German citizen of Lebanese background who was known to police and is said to have tried to join the Islamic State group.
Germany’s interior minister said that he could not rule out the possibility of copycat attacks and announced that the country’s threat level was being raised.
