Two people have been arrested after protesters clashed with police near the site of 18-year-old Henry Nowak's fatal stabbing. 11 officers and one police dog were injured at the scene.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has joined Southampton MPs in condemning the violence, calling the scenes "disgraceful and completely unacceptable".

23-year-old Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum 21-year term on Monday. Clashes with police came amid tensions and scrutiny over why officers arrested and handcuffed Nowak as he lay dying.

Joining Ciara to discuss this is Iain Dale, LBC News & Radio Presenter, Royal Commentator and author.
