Emily Maitlis

I mean, I guess it's just like a familiar place, familiar scene, familiar setting.

Just want to be in that same recreated photo, don't you?

But we'd be too cynical to say that out loud, wouldn't we?

Dream of saying it.

Lovely to be here, Ruby.

Yeah, it all started really late Monday night when a video began circulating online, which was pretty graphic.

I mean, for those who are squeamish, I don't want to spell this out too vividly, but essentially a man was being pinned to the ground.

A victim was on his back and he was essentially being stabbed in the back of the head.

The police were called instantly and a passerby saw what was going on in his car and actually attacked the attacker with his son's kind of, you know, hockey stick bat, a hurling bat.

And that was really what saved this man's life.

But as you can imagine, it has kicked off an extraordinary sense of panic and horror amongst the residents of this sort of quiet Belfast suburb.

not really understanding where this had come from and what it was about.

And at first, the rumours started circulating that the man was Somalian.

We then learned that actually he was from Sudan and he had been one of those who had escaped from the civil war in Sudan and been given this leave to remain, a five year leave to remain sentence.

What has essentially started, particularly in online forums and over X and Twitter, with the help of Musk, who is always a fueler of these flames, is a call for people to protest immigrants, protest migrants, protest illegal immigrants.

And that has been what's brought people out onto the streets.

We've seen, as you say, houses torched, a bus torched, burnt down.

There have been attacks and a sense of...

Real unrest for many of those residents living around the area and wider throughout the city of Belfast that they are not safe in their homes.

Because of the anger that this particular crime has really triggered.
