The UK Prime Minister is vowing swift action as authorities brace for fresh unrest.

There's been escalating violence in far-right riots since the fatal stabbing of three girls in a Merseyside dance class in Southport last week.

More than 500 people have been arrested so far, and thousands of counter protesters have also mobilised across the country.

A rioter who punched a police officer in the face in Southport has been jailed for three years - the longest prison sentence so far over the far-right disorder.

UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that Sir Keir Starmer promises 540 jail spaces have been cleared for rioters.

He says it should be enough spaces to deal with this, as the biggest riot saw around 40 people arrested.

Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent says Prime Minister Keir Starmer has promised swift action against the riots and protestors

Although the eyes of the world are currently focused on the Olympic Games, that hasn’t ended the conflicts occurring all over the globe.

Today marks day 895 of the Ukraine War, and Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy this week unveiling the first of the F-16s, which are already in use.

Over in the Middle East, Israel and the United States are on high alert for retaliation from Iran after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Both Ukraine and Gaza are still under fire, and Hezbollah are ramping up their drone attacks on Israel.

Mick Ryan is a retired Australian Major General, now an academic and strategist, and has written a book covering the lessons of the Russia-Ukraine war and the strategies adopted within: The War for Ukraine: Strategy and Adaptation Under Fire.

He joined Mike Hosking to give his insight on the global conflicts and where they’re likely to go from here.

Calls for a national food strategy to be implemented in light of research showing it's virtually impossible for families on a benefit to afford healthy food.

Data shows two-children families receiving financial assistance would be $200 dollars short if they bought low-cost nutritional kai.

AUT Nutrition Professor Elaine Rush told Mike Hosking that feeding Kiwis well needs to be prioritised over sending it overseas.

She says we need to also think carefully about the food we import in large quantities, as most fail to promote healthy eating.
