Anti-migrant violence rocks Belfast for second night

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

Anti-migrant violence continued in Belfast for a second night after a stabbing attack by a Sudanese asylum seeker resulted in a man losing his left eye. Immigrants described fleeing their homes in terror after gangs of masked people targeted them last night. We hear from two women from the Sudanese community in Belfast and speak to a local politician. Also on the programme: more women than ever are sleeping rough in England, we hear about the challenges they face. With an uptick in the number of children who say they enjoy reading for pleasure, we ask: how to keep up the momentum? And on the eve of the World Cup, we'll hear how the Cornish introduced football - as well as their signature dish - to co-hosts Mexico.
