About this episode
Today, we look at whether after a week of riots, we have seen the end of unrest on Britain’s streets.
In a call with the Prime Minister, King Charles has praised Britain’s community spirit in response to the riots and gave his "heartfelt thanks" to the officers who had worked to restore peace across the country. More than 700 people have now been arrested for alleged offences in connection with the riots, and police promised “hundreds” more to come.
