In the United Kingdom, the authorities are viewing Saturday's season start in English football with concern. This is due to the recent riots.
It is a dozen teams in the divisions under Premier League that begin playing their matches on Saturday afternoon. Several of the matches are played in cities that have been affected by the unrest, which was triggered after a knife attack where three girls between six and nine years old were killed.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated on Friday that the season start "has added further challenges" for the police.
The police have made more than 700 arrests in connection with the riots and 302 people have been charged, writes The Guardian.
