where these messages are coming from, the ones that are instructing people to go out onto the streets and carry out these acts, they're never before a court, they're never stopped.

I don't know how you stop that, though.

I mean, do you have any sense of how to proceed on that front?

The Reform UK Home Affairs spokesperson, Zia Youssef, said on this, the horror of what you've seen in Belfast is a direct result of treacherous Tory and Labour immigration policy.

And there are very many who agree with him on that.

The suspect here is a Sudanese man.

They say reform has already announced a total ban on visas for anyone from Sudan.

Enough is enough.

What do you say to that?

Yeah, and have no home to return to as we see from the pictures today.

Clare Hanna, thank you for joining us on the programme.

Clare Hanna is the leader of the SDLP.

Journalist, crime correspondent Alison Morris from the Belfast Telegraph joins us on the line.

Good morning, Alison.

Good morning.

Talking to Clare there, there are a number of issues now as we look towards today and particularly towards tonight.

I mean, those people who have no homes to go to because their houses have been burnt out, the fear amongst the immigrant community, the court appearance today and whether the concern is that that might drive further protests tonight.

What do you think the outlook is given what you've heard this morning?

And Clare described, Clare Hanna described how there were young men kicking down the doors of the homes of immigrants, threatening to burn them out or setting fire to the homes and those families having to be moved away.

Did you hear or see any of that happening?
