UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer warns of continued high alert for potential far-right riots in England, despite recent calm. Swift justice and police presence have deterred violence, but concerns remain for the weekend, especially with the football season starting. Nearly 500 arrests have been made, with some rioters already jailed. The unrest, sparked by a deadly knife attack, has targeted mosques and migrant facilities. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland continues to face nightly violence blamed on loyalist paramilitaries.
