'That sense of security and safety isn't there anymore'

A tragic attack in Southport and the spread of misinformation led to riots in several towns and cities around England and Belfast in Northern Ireland in August.

Protesters against immigration fought with police, targeted mosques and smashed up hotels housing asylum seekers.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer criticised the rioters' actions and called them thugs.

Many of the rioters have now been arrested and some have already been sent to prison.

Lots of people came out to show their support for those who had been targeted by the riots.

But communities were shocked at what happened to the places where they live, work and go to school.

Emma-Louise spoke to some children living in Hull about their experiences, and how they felt after the riots that had taken place in their city.
