Sentences continue to be handed down across the country as courts deal with the aftermath of violent disorder that broke out following the death of three young girls in Southport last month.

The most common offence people are being charged with - and sentenced for - is still violent disorder. But the more serious offence of riot has now been given to two people in England: a 15-year-old boy, who can't be named for legal reasons, and Kieran Usher, a 32-year-old from Sunderland - both charged in relation to disorder that took place in the north-eastern city on 2 August.

Earlier, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Usher was "one of a number of individuals who we expect will be charged with riot". You can read more about the difference between 'riot' and 'violent disorder' here.

If it's the sentences you're interested in, you can use this BBC interactive tool to see the names, faces and further details for those who've so far been sent to jail. There's also helpful coverage on why the disorder erupted in parts of the UK here.

We're pausing our live coverage now but will continue to bring you news of riot-related charges and sentences as they emerge in the coming days and weeks.

Following his sentencing earlier, police have shared footage of John Honey looting shops, hurling items at officers and kicking a BMW with members of the public inside it.

A judge earlier described the scenes as "racist" and "hate-fuelled", sentencing Honey to four years and eight months. The car was later found to have three Romanian men inside, who police said were "terrified and traumatised".

Here's a look at the part Honey, of Park Grove, Hull played in the riot on 3 August:

In Bristol, mother-of-five Lisa Bishop has been jailed for two years and two months after being "at the forefront" of a group that "targeted asylum seekers" living in a hotel during unrest on 3 August.

There was just a small team of officers trying to protect the Mercure hotel, the court was told, and there was a risk they would become overwhelmed.

"You were at the forefront, gesturing and shouting at the police as you drank more alcohol," Judge Martin Picton told Bishop earlier. "The group of which you were part was getting increasingly agitated and aggressive and your actions must have contributed to this."

Bishop had pleaded guilty to violent disorder, with the court being told she was "disgusted and ashamed" by her behaviour.

A tree surgeon has been jailed for 23 weeks for his part in disorder near Downing Street last month.

Charles Smith, 22, of Uxbridge, west London "struck up a fighting stance" and chanted "scum" at police officers.

He also joined in with an Islamophobic chant in central London on 31 July, Inner London Crown Court heard today.

Smith was at the "forefront" of a group which confronted officers, the court heard.

He pleaded guilty to affray at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 9 August.

Sentencing him this afternoon, Judge Benedict Kelleher said he had "demonstrated a complete contempt for the police".

Reporting from Sheffield Crown Court

Here at Sheffield Crown Court, a man watching proceedings has been warned he "could've ended up in prison" after being caught illegally taking pictures and videos from inside a courtroom.

The man, in his 70s, had been watching proceedings related to the Rotherham riot when he "quite openly" filmed Judge Jeremy Richardson KC and attempted to send the clips and images to his wife.

It is illegal to take pictures or record videos inside a courtroom, but recent law changes allow judges' sentencing remarks to be broadcast with permission from the court.

A judge can imprison someone for up to two years if they are found guilty, but in this case Judge Richardson took no further action after it transpired the footage had been deleted and never sent on.

"Don't ever do that again," Richardson warns the man.

Earlier today, cameras at Preston Crown Court showed us the live sentencing of Roger Haywood - of Yew Tree Road, Blackpool - who'd pleaded guilty to violent disorder and two counts of assaulting an emergency worker.

He was given two and a half years in prison and described by a judge as being an "instigator" who led an "angry" mob through the seaside town.

Lancashire Police has now released footage of Haywood's arrest - it shows him shouting "England", as he's put into the back of a police van, to which some members of the watching crowd cheer.

As courts across England continue to deal with the onslaught of cases related to recent disorder in the UK, here's a rundown of various charges and sentences that've come through today:

• A short while ago, two men were jailed for their roles in what a judge called "12 hours of racist, hate-fuelled mob violence" in Hull
• John Honey, 25, was given four years and eight months, and 48-year-old David Wilkinson six years - the longest sentences to be handed out since the violence that erupted following a stabbing attack in Southport last month

• The first adult in England was charged earlier with the more serious offence of riot, while further violent disorder sentences have been handed out in Bristol, Sheffield, Sunderland, Blackpool, Liverpool and Plymouth
• Roger Haywood, who a judge earlier said played a "leading" role in the Blackpool disorder, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison

• New Ministry of Justice data shows 460 have so far been arrested in connection with the unrest - and at least 99 have been sentenced

• Meanwhile, the National Police Chiefs' Council gave us an update earlier to say 277 police officers have been injured responding to the unrest

More now on the sentencing of John Honey, who we mentioned in our last post was one of the people arrested and charged over offences including an attack on a car that contained three Romanian men in Hull.

His behaviour during the unrest was "appalling, shameless and violent," according to the deputy chief crown prosecutor of CPS Yorkshire and Humberside.

Michael Quinn says Honey was part of an "armed mob" who took part in a "cowardly assault" on a BMW car "containing three defenceless members of the public". They were "assaulted, robbed and racially abused" and have been left "terrified and traumatised".

"Less than two weeks have passed since Honey was identified, caught and convicted," Quinn adds. "Today, he begins a prison sentence of over four and a half years for his role in the abhorrent scenes that unfolded."

At Hull Crown Court, two men have been sentenced for what a judge described as "racist" violence in Hull earlier this month.

John Honey, 25, of Park Grove, Hull, who pleaded guilty to violent disorder, racially aggravated criminal damage of a BMW, as well as damaging nine other cars, and three charges of burglary, has been jailed for four years and eight months.

Meanwhile, David Wilkinson, 48, of Lorraine Street, Hull, who pleaded guilty to violent disorder, racially aggravated criminal damage and attempted arson, has been sentenced to six years in prison.

Sentencing them, Judge John Thackray KC described the scenes on 3 August as "12 hours of racist, hate-fuelled mob violence". On the incident involving the BMW, the judge said both men had intended to create a high risk of injury.

• Our colleagues at BBC Verify looked into this incident at the time and surmised that videos shared on social media showed the crowd charging towards a silver BMW and forcing open its doors, attacking those inside. Read the analysis in full here.

We’ve had the first two charges in England and Wales for the very serious offence of rioting.

The courts in Northern Ireland have also heard allegations of rioting, relating to the disorder in Belfast, but these are not quite the same as those in England and Wales. The law and the crime is different.

The charges in NI so far relate to “riotous behaviour”. This is a relatively low-level offence that is dealt with by magistrates – which means the penalties are limited.

Prosecutors there may in time decide to charge suspects with a very old version of riot that goes before a judge.

That version of the offence was abolished in England and Wales in 1986, to be replaced with a clear modern definition and a maximum penalty of 10 years.

Over the last few days, we have been reporting the sentences handed out to people involved in the wave of unrest that swept across the country.

In one incident, rioters broke into a Holiday Inn Express hotel in Rotherham that was housing asylum seekers.

Footage shared with BBC News, taken by those inside the hotel at the time, show the chaos and panic unfolding.

You can read more about the impact the disorder had on those inside here.

The National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) has just informed us that to date 277 police officers have been injured while responding to the violent disorder we saw following the Southport attack.

Injuries, they say, include scratches and scrapes as well as fractures and broken bones. Some officers have also been hospitalised.

A spokesperson adds: "Officers do not go to work to be assaulted or attacked and it is completely unacceptable.

“Such events have a very real impact on our workforce in terms of wellbeing and psychological damage, and we know that significant issues related to PTSD can come years later.

“The wellbeing of our people remains a top priority, particularly those who were at the forefront of dealing with violent disorder and protest."

The NPCC says they will work with staff associations and the National Police Wellbeing Service to ensure officers can recover "both physically and mentally".

Kieran Usher, who is the first adult to be charged with riot, has been held in custody.

The 32-year-old appeared at South Tyneside Magistrates' Court this morning in connection with disorder in Sunderland city centre on 2 August.

He did not enter a plea and will next appear at Newcastle Crown Court on 23 August.

Most people charged so far have been accused of violent disorder. Riot is a more serious charge which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.

Two men and a woman have been jailed this afternoon for violent disorder at a protest in Plymouth on 5 August.

Kerry Gove, 34, Andrew Ball, 49, and Grant Braidwood, 40 - all from Plymouth, appeared at the city's crown court after pleading guilty to the charge.

Ball and Braidwood were both given prison terms of two years and eight months, while Gove was sentenced to 18 months.

Holly Rust, prosecuting, told the court the protest had created anxiety at an Islamic centre and left members of the public "frightened".

We've been following the sentencing of Roger Haywood this afternoon, but he's not the only person who has been convicted of crimes committed during unrest in parts of the country.

According to new Ministry of Justice data, 460 have been arrested in connection with the violent disorder - with at least 99 already sentenced for their crimes.

A number of cases have been passed on to crown court, with 185 sent for sentencing meaning they could get sentences of more than six months.

Meanwhile, 153 defendants' cases have been sent to crown court for trial.

Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has praised the "swift justice being done" as the courts move to quickly process these cases.

"It is thanks to the hard work of people around the country and across the justice system that guilty offenders are being held to account," she says.

We're getting some reaction to Haywood's sentencing coming through now.

Lancashire Constabulary Assistant Chief Constable Phil Davies says Haywood "not only chose to be violent himself, but he actively encouraged others to use violence too".

Haywood being sentenced to 30 months shows "just how seriously violent disorder is being taken in our country", he says.

Meanwhile, Sarah Gallagher, the district crown prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) North West, says Haywood's "vile behaviour cannot go unchallenged":

We've just heard - and seen - Judge Robert Altham sentence Roger Haywood to two years and six months for his involvement in recent disorder in Blackpool. Here's a quick recap of what was said:

• Judge Altham said Haywood led an "angry" mob through the seaside town in Lancashire - throwing missiles at police officers and injuring a security guard at a shopping centre
• Later he "beckoned" a group of people to break through a police barrier near the town's cenotaph, trying to use a loudhailer to encourage the crowd but - in the judge's words - was "too intoxicated" to do so
• The judge described how Haywood assaulted two police officers - kicking one in the hand and another in the arm - and reminded the court that officers "should be able to go to work without being pelted by missiles"
• Haywood was sentenced to 30 months (or two years and six months) after pleading guilty to violent disorder during the riot, as well as three weeks for each of two counts of assaulting an emergency worker
• These will be served concurrently - so at the same time - and up to half of the sentence will be served in prison, before Haywood is released on licence

Moving towards the sentencing, Judge Altham says Haywood was an "instigator and leader" in the unrest, and that his intoxication is an "aggravating feature".

The judge says he takes into account Haywood's "remorse" when deciding on his sentence.

With credit for his guilty plea, Haywood is sentenced to 30 months imprisonment - up to half of which will be served in prison - which includes separate sentences for violent disorder and assault of an emergency worker.

They're to be served concurrently, the judge adds, before Haywood is released on licence.

Talking about the charges, the judge describes how Roger Haywood kicked the hand of one police officer and the arm of another.

He goes on to talk about the impact this had on the community, saying officers deployed in Blackpool that day were diverted from their duties.

The judge reminds the court that these officers are normal people with families, who "should be able to go to work without being pelted by missiles".

Returning now to the remarks Judge Altham made before the sentencing, he describes a scene on 3 August when Haywood encouraged an "angry" crowd to break through a police barrier near Blackpool's cenotaph.

Haywood had "chosen to face the mob" and "beckoned them" to breach police lines, the judge says.

He says Haywood was later seen visibly "too intoxicated" to work out how to use a loudhailer to speak to the crowds.
