A 14-year-old boy and ten men are due to appear in court following riots by right-wing extremists across Merseyside last week.
The local violence was just one of many that took place in major UK cities last week.

In one incident in St Luke’s Road, Southport, rioters set a van on fire and threw bricks at police officers.
The group, believed to be members of the English Defence League (EDL), also threw objects at a local mosque.
Another protest at Liverpool’s Pier Head on Saturday also ended violently.
Officers were wearing riot gear when a large mob attacked officers with bricks and other debris.
Far-right rioters then caused further disruption in other parts of the city, including Walton.

Police described the riots as “serious violent disorder” after rioters attacked shops, police officers and a library.
The news comes after a weekend of unrest in many parts of the country, including Rotherham, where a Holiday Inn Express was attacked.
As a result of the devastation, four asylum seekers were forced to spend the night in woodland.

Clean-up operations are underway across much of the country after a weekend of unrest.
Right-wing extremists in Middlesbrough also set up “racial checkpoints”, asking drivers “are you white or British”.
