A UK community continues to grieve after this week’s fatal stabbings.
Three children died and five more are critically injured in the Merseyside city of Southport.
A 17-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Hundreds of protesters clashed with police outside a mosque yesterday, after false claims circulated.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking there were rumours circulating on social media that the main suspect was an illegal immigrant.
He said that far right extremists then went to a mosque in Southport and began to throw bricks at it, despite being told the incident had nothing to do with that mosque, nor a terrorist attack.
