Anti-immigrant riots escalate across the UK as tensions boil over and other overnight events
This happened while you were sleeping. Here is what global agencies reported overnight from Sunday to Monday.
- Anti-immigrant riots continue in the United Kingdom, which erupted after the murder of three young girls in Southport near Liverpool. In Rotherham, Northern England, participants of one of the protests stormed a hotel where illegal immigrants were being housed. The crowd attacked police officers guarding the building, throwing chairs and other objects at them. Later, a group of people broke through the police cordon and entered the hotel, attempting to set it on fire. Windows in the building were also smashed. At least one officer was injured.
- Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, reportedly informed G7 foreign ministers that it is likely Iran and Hezbollah will attack Israel as soon as Monday or Tuesday.
- Recently, four Russian Kilo-class submarines were terrorising the Black Sea. After the Ukrainians sank one of them - "Rostov-on-Don" - it became clear that it was only a matter of time before the remaining units ceased to be a threat. Currently, they cannot leave the Black Sea because Turkey is blocking the Bosphorus.
- The German newspaper "Bild" reports that over the weekend, a Russian Il-76, which the Russians typically use to transport weapons, landed in Tehran. Additionally, Russian propagandists are spreading the theory that this has to do with Moscow's involvement in the planned Iranian attack on Israel.
