Time to catch up with UK correspondent Gevin Gray and some pretty concerning images out of Yorkshire in Northeast England. Gevin these riots to tell us about what's been going on.

Yeah, Jack, and uncertainty is for the court, but let me start by what started well. A number of police were called after seemingly some sort of disorder which then became some serious disorder. A police car was flipped over, a bus was set alight, Barricades were made in streets in the Harehills area of Leeds. It's quite a rundown part of that city in the northeast of England. In Yorkshire and Police Force said they were called to a disturbance at an address at around five pm local time and then further pockets of disorder spread out. Indeed, social media videos show big crowds on the streets and this police car being attacked with a scooter before it was then flipped over. The local MP saying she's appalled at the shocking scenes. Injuries have been reported, but right through until very late into the evening, hundreds of people remained gathered around as the streets were strewn with rubbish and other debris. Police had the missiles thrown at them. So why did it all start. All we're being told is that police were called to quote an ongoing disturbance which involves some agency workers and some children. When they attended a disturbance, more people started to attend the location and the decision was made to remove the agency workers and the children to a safe place. So we don't know why the agency workers were there, what agency workers they were. All sorts of speculation which I won't add to. I'm sure we'll get more details. Yeah.

Yeah, some of those images were pretty remarkable, to be perfectly honest, I mean, especially that fust thing. See the light it was that was shocking. Now, the outgoing NATO boss says Europe must be prepared forget this a decade of the Ukrainian war.

Yeah, yeah, So Jen Staltenberg's ten year ten comes to an end in October. In November, we get to the presidential election in America and if Donald Trump wins a second term, he's already said that he would either completely cut aids to Ukraine as into zero or severely drastically reduce it, And of course that means we've got a war going on on the doorstep of Europe, and that's why Jen Stottenburg is warning both Europe but also the rest of NATO that they really do need to be aware this is going to be a long drawn out affair. And of course NATO's funds as well are something that a second term for Donald Trump might might be cut back on. He's already suggested that NATO members should be paying more than America. So what Jan Stoltenberg is saying is, look, we need to be prepared for it to last a long time, and ironically saying that the more we fund it now, the faster a resolution might be reached.

And Gavin five environmental protests who blocked a major London motorway in twenty twenty two have been sentenced to jail, yes, and.

And Gavin five environmental protests who blocked a major London motorway in twenty twenty two have been sentenced to jail, yes, and.

Quite long terms, which surprised people, but I think as well a lot of motorists who were affected on the actions that they took were delighted. So in November of twenty twenty two, forty five just top ball protesters climbed gantries on the London Orbital Motorway, the M twenty five. It's a massively busy road even when it's quiet, and of course when they were up in the gantries. The police said, well they're not safe. They may four drivers may crash, so they shut the motorway. It was said to cost fifty one thousand hours of driver delays, cost the economy at least one and a half billion New Zealand dollars and indeed cost the police operation two millions. So there was huge anger at the time. And now five of the main ring leaders who organized that protest have been jailed, the ring leader five years imprisonment, the others or four years. We had become, i think, so used in this country to people being just let off with a little smack on the risk of some community service work that when the length of jail tones was read out, I think there was genuine shock in the court. But looking at the daily papers, many of them saying, at last we are getting some serious sentences for those who commit these crimes and cause such inconvenience.
