Rioting erupted Friday evening in Sunderland, northeast England, where police said officers faced "serious and sustained levels of violence", the latest unrest linked to a mass stabbing earlier this week that killed three young girls. Far-right elements have been blamed for the disturbances in the aftermath of the stabbing spree targeting children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. Officials have said online disinformation about the British-born 17-year-old suspect Axel Rudakubana helped fuel the unrest. Story by Liza Kaminov.
