In total, the police fear riots in 38 places, writes the Daily Mail.

Telegram messages also reveal that organized right-wing extremist groups are planning acts of violence against left-wing extremists during the evening.

Hundreds of people have been arrested during the last week's riots, which began after an immigrant in Southport stabbed three girls to death and injured eight in a stabbing attack on a dance studio.

Several cities such as Manchester, Liverpool, Plymouth and Birmingham have been hit by riots. Anti-immigration groups have organized protests and riots have led to a hotel housing migrants being set on fire and the police being attacked.

The British Public Prosecutor's Office is now considering terrorism charges against those involved, writes the Daily Mail.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer vows to use “all available means” to end the unrest.
