The Police Service of Northern Ireland says there will be an increased presence of its officers following the arrest of a Sudanese man on suspicion of attempted murder in Belfast.

0:48A man in his 40s was left in a serious condition with significant injuries to his eyes and serious wounds to his face and back. The Assistant Chief Constable of the PSNI, Ryan Henderson, has appealed for calm. Our officers have a role to facilitate and accommodate peaceful protest. Everyone in Northern Ireland will, however, sadly remember the disorder which took place over the last two years. No one needs to see a repeat of this, so I appeal for calm and the safety of all of our communities. The PSNI says the Sudanese suspect was granted leave to remain in September 2023 and that he arrived in Belfast from the Republic of Ireland.

1:28There are also calls for the bravery of people who intervened during the attack to be recognised. Video footage of the incident shows several people, including one with a hurling stick, stopping a man attacking the victim who was lying prone on the street. The DUP leader, Gavin Robinson, is also the MP for Belfast East. Mr Speaker, my prayers are with the victim. And I similarly praise the brave man who, with a hurl in his hand, intervene to save his neighbour's life and this house should praise him too. The Conservative leader, Kemi Badenok, says more young black men and boys should be stopped and searched by police to save lives.

2:09She said the authorities had failed to prevent previous tragedies for fear of being called racist. Badenok said some people would feel uncomfortable with the fact that more black youths would be affected. And the reason why we want to triple stop and search and hire 10 ,000 more police officers is because we believe that this will lead to safer streets. I'm afraid it doesn't matter if more black boys are searched because it will mean more black lives are saved. Bedanok has also outlined her ambition to remove identity politics from public life. She says a Conservative government would abolish rules requiring police officers, teachers and other public servants to consider equality issues in their day-to-day work.

2:51A man who fatally stabbed the judge's daughter before blowing up their home in a gas explosion has been jailed for life. Clifton George, who's 45, stabbed Annabelle Rook 31 times at their home in East London after she had suggested they should end their 10-year relationship. And the British No. 1 Emma Raducanu has started her Wimbledon preparations with a straight-set win in a rain-interrupted match at Queen's Club. Raducanu beat the qualifier Anna Blinkova, 6-love, 6-3. There's more on all of these stories throughout the day on Times Radio.
