Southport stabbing latest updates: Keir Starmer to address riots in London, Manchester and Hartlepool in wake of knife rampage as suspect Axel Rudakubana is named

Cleveland Police Chief Constable Mark Webster said there were about 150 people out in Hartlepool on Wednesday evening 'committing some violent disorder'.

Speaking outside Hartlepool police station, he said four officers were injured and two required hospital treatment.

The number of arrests stood at 11 and more were expected over the next 48 hours, he said.

With just minutes to go before Sir Keir Starmer addresses the nation, let's look back at the some of the trouble across the country that led to his meeting earlier with police chiefs:

The meeting between the Prime Minister and senior police chiefs has now finished.

Four police chiefs have left Number 10 and all declined to answer questions on the meeting.

In Southport, a local mosque had its windows smashed and fences burned while worshippers were trapped inside as crowds gathered outside during rioting on Tuesday.

A teenager charged with murdering three children and harming 10 others at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport has been named as Axel Rudakubana.

The 17-year-old, who turns 18 in just six days time, was born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff in 2006 before moving to the village of Banks in Lancashire in 2013.

He is accused of carrying out the attack that killed Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine.

Rudakubana is also accused of the attempted murders of eight more children, along with dance teacher Leanne Lucas, 35, and businessman John Hayes.

Up until now, the teenager's identity could not be revealed because suspects under 18 receive automatic anonymity in all UK court cases, except for in exceptional circumstances.

But after a successful application to the judge by the Mail, Rudakubana's name can now be reported.

The meeting came amid riots across the country as violence escalated in the wake of a knife attack which left three children dead and five critically injured.

So let's take a look at where the disorder has taken place:

Fifty-three police officers were injured and five men arrested after riots in Southport on Tuesday around an hour after a vigil was held for three girls who were killed in a knife attack on Monday.

The Met arrested 111 people for alleged offences including violent disorder, assaults on police officers, possession of knives and offensive weapons and breach of protest conditions after crowds gathered outside Downing Street on Wednesday

Two men were arrested in Manchester after objects were thrown at the public and police in the disturbance in Newton Heath on Wednesday. Police said only an 'early intervention' prevented any serious injury or damage.

Eight people were arrested in Hartlepool on Wednesday in relation to public order offences after glass bottles and eggs were thrown at police by protesters. A police car was also set on fire. Police said they expect to make further arrests this week.

Several people were arrested last month after violence broke out in the Harehills suburbs of Leeds. A police car was flipped and a bus torched during the disorder which lasted for several hours.

Scotland Yard's Deputy Commissioner Dame Lynne Owens, Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist, National Crime Agency chief Robert Jones and chief constables from Merseyside and West Yorkshire Police all attended the meeting at No 10.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood and policing minister Dame Diana Johnson spoke with the officers.

There were 19 attendees in total, including director of public prosecutions Stephen Parkinson, His Majesty's Chief Inspector Andy Cooke and police chiefs Serena Kennedy and John Robins from the Merseyside and West Yorkshire forces.

Serena Kennedy, the chief constable of Merseyside Police, spoke to the meeting via video link.

She told the assembled ministers and police chiefs that the force was 'determined to get justice' for the attack on Monday and to identify all those who took part in rioting on Tuesday in Southport.

At a meeting in Downing Street to discuss recent violent disorder in some towns in England in the wake of the Southport stabbings, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told police chiefs:

In the capital, more than 100 people were arrested after crowds in Whitehall launched beer cans and glass bottles at police and threw flares at the statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square.

People wearing England flags and waving banners saying 'enough is enough' and 'stop the boats' congregated outside Downing Street.

Violence flared after social media posts wrongly claimed the killing of three young girls in a knife attack in Southport was carried out by a Muslim asylum seeker who crossed the Channel in a small boat.
