All children injured in the knife attack in Southport who were treated at Alder Hey hospital have been discharged, the hospital says.

Three children were killed in the stabbing attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last Monday. Eight children and two adults were seriously injured.

Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool, which treated some of the casualties, thanked those involved "in responding to the incident or caring for anyone affected by it, especially our colleagues in the NHS, Merseyside Police and North West Ambulance Service".

"We also want to say thank you to all who sent well wishes to Alder Hey and to the families affected. Our heartfelt sympathies remain with all those impacted by last week’s tragic events," the Trust adds.

It was initially thought all children injured in the attack had been discharged, but Merseyside Police have since said one child was still under hospital care at a different site. We have updated this post to reflect this.

Muslim communities in the UK feel "terrorised", the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) says, as it called for calm following a week of disorder unfolding in several UK cities.

Zara Mohammed, the organisation's secretary-general, says her phone has been "jammed with calls" from people scared to leave the house and from faith leaders unsure whether they should open mosques.

She tells me a police investigation after the Sunderland riots on Friday revealed a plot to commit arson on a mosque.

"Muslim communities say they are feeling terrorised. They really are targets," Mohammed says.

"But what has been really heartening is the pushback from communities who have cleaned up the mess, come together and said: you're not welcome here."

The MCB is not advising mosques to close, but to be vigilant. Speak to police, review security measures, and carry out a risk assessment, Mohammed advises.

Another person that BBC Asian Network has spoken to today, Raj, says the recent disorder has left "a lot of fear" in the community.

There are "mixed emotions," he goes on, saying "a lot of people are angry and want to do something about it".

The 27-year-old, from Middlesbrough, is from a Hindu community and says he’s not surprised at the violence because things have been "getting whipped up for so long".

"When we blame our community, refugees and migrants – often the most vulnerable in society – for our problems, what else can we expect?"

A pub in Birmingham has criticised the "mindless thugs" who attacked its premises last night and said "we are proud of our multicultural city".

A group of men in balaclavas were caught on video causing damage to The Clumsy Swan on Monday night, when hundreds gathered at a demonstration in the city.

Following reports that the attackers were Muslim, members of the Sheldon mosque visited the pub and apologised for what happened. One elder offered to pay its damages, an online video shows.

The pub wrote on Facebook: "We would like to thank you all for your well wishes and a big thank you to those at Sheldon mosque who have reached out to us with apologies from their community and offer to pay for damages.

"Hopefully we will have no more trouble on the streets of Birmingham. We are proud of our multicultural city and let's keep it that way."

The prime minister has told cabinet "99.9% of people across the country want their streets to be safe", as he pledged "all necessary action" to bring disorder to an end.

Keir Starmer condemned the violence, telling ministers: "It is violent disorder and needs to be treated as such, as criminal activity."

He said: "When I went to Southport I spoke to police who described what it was like to attend the mass stabbing of little girls and then to be back on duty the next day in riot gear, having bricks thrown at them.

"This is something no one would have ever wanted to see and we need to be calling it out for what it is. It is not protest. It is violent disorder and needs to be treated as such, as criminal activity.

"99.9% of people across the country want their streets to be safe and to feel safe in their communities, and we will take all necessary action to bring the disorder to an end."

Peter Kyle, the technology minister, told cabinet that social media companies had a responsibility to work with the government to prevent the spread of disinformation and incitement.

His comments came after he met with social media companies yesterday.

A senior police officer says she has "no doubt" that there is a "paramilitary element" involved in orchestrating recent violence and disorder on the streets of Belfast.

Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Melanie Jones says police are keeping an "open mind" on the involvement of other elements.

In response to criticism of the police response from those affected, she said that "we always wish we could have done more".

Speaking at a news conference in PSNI headquarters in Belfast, she said there was "clearly younger element" to Monday night's disorder.

Suspects charged so far have faced allegations including violent disorder, which can lead to five years in jail.

Some other suspects who have been arrested are being assessed for the more serious charge of rioting, that can lead to ten years.

Those charging decisions will take a longer, the Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson tells me, because of the nature of the crime and the evidence needed.

"There are sentencing guidelines which indicate that many people who have been caught up in this disorder will face immediate imprisonment. There should be no doubt about that. They are going to prison.

"We are willing to look at terrorism offences. I'm aware of at least one instance where that is happening.

"Where you have organised groups planning activity for the purposes of advancing [an] ideology... planning really, really serious disruption then yes, we will consider terrorism offences."

Two people have been arrested in Chester following a Snapchat post that allegedly encouraged people to attend a protest at a hotel.

Cheshire Police says the post contained "misleading information stating that the hotel was home to a number of asylum seekers".

It adds that no disorder occurred as a result.

Two people - a 32-year-old man and 34-year-old woman from Chester - were arrested on Monday on suspicion of racially aggravated harassment with intent to cause fear and violence.

They have been released on conditional bail while further enquiries take place.

The Director of Public Prosecutions says his teams will consider seeking the extradition from abroad of social media influencers who are playing a role in the violent disorder gripping the UK.

Stephen Parkinson tells BBC that anybody invovled in the violence should know they will face the most severe possible criminal charges, including terrorism.

Approximately 100 of the 400 people arrested in relation to a week of disorder have been charged, he revealed. Prosecutors and detectives are now working through cases in teams across England and Wales to push as many suspects into the courts as quickly as possible.

Some complex cases could take weeks more to be charged, but Parkinson says prosecutors were "absolutely geared up" to bring offenders to justice.

Concern has been mounting about extreme right-wing social media influencers, including the founder of the English Defence League, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who uses the alias Tommy Robinson.

He is currently in Cyprus - the High Court has issued a warrant for his arrest after he failed to turn up in court last Monday. Parkinson says: "Some people are abroad. That doesn't mean they're safe.

"We have liaison prosecutors around the globe, who've got local links with the local judiciary. We can cooperate with our international partners.

"We would certainly consider extradition if we are satisfied that an offence has been committed. They must know that they are not safe and there is nowhere to hide."

Joshua Simpson, 25, of no fixed abode but living in Cleethorpes, has pleaded guilty to assaulting an emergency worker during rioting in Rotherham at the weekend.

Sheffield Magistrates' Court heard that he charged at officers outside the Holiday Inn Express, which was housing asylum seekers, while swearing.

The self-employed builder then kicked PC Christopher Dixon, the court heard. Several officers restrained him until he was arrested.

District Judge Simon Blakebrough remanded Simpson in custody and said he could not rule out a jail sentence when he returns for sentencing on 27 August.

I've been speaking to BBC Asian Network listeners, who are sharing their thoughts, feelings and experiences following the unrest that's broken out in recent days.

Zara, from High Wycombe, says as a British Muslim she feels "scared and vulnerable".

"We’re ensuring the children aren’t going outside, and staying at home to keep safe."

Her family’s UK roots go back to World War Two, Zara says, adding that she shouldn’t be made to feel like she doesn’t belong here.

"We pay tax, we’re part of the economy, and we shouldn’t feel like we’re going to be attacked all the time," the 35-year-old says.

Staffordshire Police are appealing for help to find the person who hit one of their dogs with a brick during disturbances in Tamworth over the weekend.

The dog, Vixen, “was bravely trying to stop one of the thugs," a police statement says, when she was struck above her right eye. She suffered a "nasty" gash and needed medical treatment.

"Police dogs are considered just as important as their human counterparts and so we are launching a full investigation," Asst Ch Const Stuart Ellison says, adding that he believes there may be footage of the incident circulating on social media.

"I know members of the public will be disgusted that a beautiful animal like Vixen has been harmed whilst trying to keep people safe."

A 28-year-old man has been charged with posting content online intending to stir up racial hatred, in relation to this past week's violent disorder.

Jordan Parlour, of Seacroft in Leeds, is the first individual to face prosecution for posting allegedly criminal messages linked to the violence.

Nick Price, of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), said that it had authorised West Yorkshire Police to charge Parlour with using threatening words or behaviour intending to stir up racial hatred.

The charge relates to alleged Facebook posts between 1 and 5 August in connection with the public disorder.

"It is extremely important there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings," Price said.

Parlour is due to appear at Leeds Magistrates’ Court today, although the precise timing is unclear as racial hatred prosecutions must be authorised by the attorney general. The maximum sentence is seven years.

We've been reporting on arrests and charges following the past week of disorder in parts of the UK.

In Teesside Magistrates' Court today, 28 people are due to appear charged with violent disorder and other offences after events in Middlesbrough over the weekend.

We'll bring you more from the court later today.

"Civil war is inevitable" - Elon Musk's comments which have sparked a war of words between the tech billionaire and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Musk was writing on his social media platform X about the riots in the UK.

In response, Downing Street said the comments had “no justification” and that social media companies “can and should be doing more” about the spread of misinformation, which is thought to have contributed to the widespread disorder.

The X owner then responded to a video from Starmer, asking “shouldn’t you be concerned about attacks on *all* communities?”

Since Musk bought Twitter, now X, in 2022, he has reduced content moderation.

A year after the purchase, far-right activist Tommy Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, was reinstated to the platform after a five-year ban.

The convicted criminal spent the weekend posting inflammatory messages to his 900k followers on X while relaxing in Cyprus.

What actions the UK government can and will take against all social media companies following the disorder will now be a key debating point in the coming weeks and months.

• Six people are appearing in court in Sheffield following riots that took place outside a hotel in Rotherham over the weekend - charges include violent disorder and assault of an emergency worker
• Extra prison spaces will be made available from next week to manage some of the detentions stemming from the unrest. Plans for the spaces had already been in place but they will now be accelerated
• Local people in areas affected last night have been cleaning up following the disorder - the BBC's Hattie McCann says police in Plymouth have warned "violence will not be tolerated"
• X owner Elon Musk has been criticised by the government for suggesting a civil war is inevitable in the UK - Justice Minister Heidi Alexander called the remarks "deplorable"

We've predominantly been bringing you updates this morning about last night's unrest - but let's look now at something that happened over the weekend.

South Yorkshire Police say six individuals have been charged following disorder outside a hotel near Rotherham on Sunday:

• Lee Crisp, 42, of Grimethorpe, Christopher Rodgers, 38, of Barnsley, and Liam Grey, 20, of Mexborough, have been charged with violent disorder

Let's bring you a little more now from Darlington, where bricks were thrown at police officers last night after "two large groups of mostly males" gathered in the North Lodge Park area, which is near a mosque.

Durham Constabulary says one 18-year was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder, assaulting a police officer and possession of a controlled drug.

Asst Ch Const Richie Allen called it "sporadic pockets of violent disorder involving groups of people intent on causing serious harm to our communities and their property".

"We will not tolerate violent disorder in our communities," he said.

In Belfast, a man in his 50s has been taken to hospital after he was seriously assaulted during disorder in the south of the Northern Irish capital last night.

Witnesses reported seeing attackers stamp on his head, police say.

His condition is described as serious and police are treating the incident as a racially motivated hate crime.

The attack happened in the Donegall Road area, close to Sandy Row, where police officers also came under "sustained attack" over a number of hours. Petrol bombs, masonry and bricks were thrown towards police. Petrol was also poured over a Land Rover and set alight.

During the course of the serious disorder, officers discharged two Attenuating Energy Projectiles (AEPs), with one rioter struck on the hand.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour and remains in police custody.

Northern Ireland's Communities Minister Gordon Lyons has said there is "no justification whatsoever" for violence: "It needs to stop and it needs to stop straight away."
