'Thuggery': Belfast police fire water cannon at anti-immigration protests

Police in Northern Ireland fired water cannon at far-right protesters in Belfast as small fires were set and bricks, rocks and bottles were hurled during a second consecutive night of unrest. The clashes followed a stabbing attack that led to a 30-year-old man being charged with attempted murder. Chief Constable Jon Boutcher deployed an additional 200 officers, while political leaders including First Minister Michelle O'Neill condemned the violence as 'thuggery'. UK minister Hilary Benn described the acts as 'racist thuggery'.
