Has The Tide Turned After The Riots?

Adam Fleming and friends discuss the week's biggest stories.

Today, we look at whether after a week of riots, we have seen the end of unrest on Britain’s streets.

In a call with the Prime Minister, King Charles has praised Britain’s community spirit in response to the riots and gave his "heartfelt thanks" to the officers who had worked to restore peace across the country. More than 700 people have now been arrested for alleged offences in connection with the riots, and police promised β€œhundreds” more to come.

Adam and Paddy are joined on Radio 4 by disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, and senior UK correspondent for ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ News, Sima Kotecha.
