The country is bracing itself for more scenes like this. Police are aware of 30 gatherings and are preparing for a day of disorder. An extra 2,200 right-trained officers are being deployed to confront whatever comes next. After days of affray on the streets, the Prime Minister chair the second meeting of the Emergency Cobra Committee.

Over 400 people now have been arrested, 100 have been charged, some in relation to online activity, and a number of them are already in court, and I'm now expecting substantive sentencing before the end of this week.

There are dozens already in the court system as a result of the unrest. Many more will join them. These are the faces of some of those who have already pleaded guilty, among them, 21-year-old Bradley Mackin, who admitted violent disorder and possession of cocaine and heroin. He was arrested after what police said was serious and sustained violence when hundreds rampaged through the center of Sunderland on Friday night. And some have been sentenced. In Manchester, 18-year-old James Nelson jailed for two months for smashing the windows of police cars during a disturbance in Bolton. Sunday's attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rothering, condemned as terrorism by a former police chief who once led the country's response to the issue.

It's very difficult to prove ideological intent when you're talking about terrorism. But I think it should be a warning to people who want to get involved in these offenses that this is becoming a national security issue.

The sentencing of some of those who admitted rioting where violence first erupted in South Port has been brought forward. The unrest has its roots in the town where just over a week ago, Alice de Silva, a GR, Bibi King, and Elsy Dodd-Stankome were stabbed to death in a brutal attack.

South Port is a closely-knet community that have continued to come together to support the families of the free girls who went to dance and never made it home. The reminders of their innocence here in the town center, a contrast to the images of anger we've seen across the country.

This service for Alice was the first of many memorials and ceremonies for a community in mourning. It ended with a balloon release and a chance for the people of South Port to embrace loved ones. This family and two others have suffered losses that are unimaginable. Shingi Marike, Sky News.
