UK riots flare in another UK city following misinformation about Southport stabbing
Rioting erupted Friday evening in Sunderland, northeast England, where police said officers faced "serious and sustained levels of violence", the latest unrest linked to a mass stabbing earlier this week that killed three young girls. Far-right elements have been blamed for the disturbances in the aftermath of the stabbing spree targeting children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Officials have said online disinformation about the British-born 17-year-old suspect Axel Rudakubana helped fuel the unrest. Story by Liza Kaminov.
