Thousands of counter-demonstrators take to streets after week of riots

Available for over a year

Thousands of protesters took to the streets of English towns and cities in opposition to the far-right, after a week of rioting that saw mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers attacked. Amid social media speculation, police were expecting far-right activists to target migration facilities and lawyers, but very few showed up. Ukraine has launched an incursion into Russia's Kursk region, capturing a small amount of territory and prompting a rare public statement on the conflict from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who called the cross-border attack a "major provocation". And three upcoming Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna have been cancelled following a possible security threat.
