UK police are preparing for more possible riots across England – with reports at least 30 protests could be planned for Wednesday.
Nearly 6,000 officers have been mobilised, say police sources, and the communities minister Jim McMahon says anyone involved in disruption will face "the full force of the law".
More people are due in court throughout the day, after the first person was jailed over the clashes on Tuesday.
The disorder erupted in cities across the country last week after the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport – with unrest fuelled by misinformation online that the suspect was an asylum seeker.
Inquests have opened into the deaths of the three girls – the coroner said they will be "missed beyond any description".
