The riots that followed the murders of three young girls in Southport have been characterised as “far right” by public figures. For many people, this description suggests the disorder was somehow organised. But in reality, investigation correspondent Daniel De Simone writes, the violence lacked cohesion - and that makes it more unpredictable and dangerous.

And finally...

The world-famous fountain in London's Piccadilly Circus will be looking a little different this week. Artist Yinka Ilori's temporary installation features Pegasus figures perched on bright orange and yellow plinths alongside inspiring messages. It adds a new dimension to the winged statue topping the monument, which is popularly known as Eros, although it actually represents Anteros, the Greek god of requited love.
