UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is warning rioters targeting Muslim communities they'll face the full force of the law, as he tries to end days of unrest. Rival groups have clashed in the city of Plymouth in what police describe as "sustained violence". The nationwide demonstrations started last week after three girls were stabbed to death in Southport.

Police say social media posts falsely blamed a Muslim immigrant for the attack. The government is urging social media platforms to stop the spread of racial hate.

Al Jazeera's Milena Veselinovic reports from Southport, where the community is in mourning.
