British Prime Minister calls emergency meeting, plans to establish "permanent army" to deal with riots
On August 6, according to British media reports, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held an emergency meeting called 'Cobra' on the 5th, with the participation of government and senior police officials to deal with the riots that have occurred in many parts of the UK in recent days. After the meeting, Starmer stated that the UK will enhance police force by forming a 'reserve army' composed of professional police officers, and strengthen criminal justice accountability for the perpetrators, so that the riot participants will face 'comprehensive legal sanctions'. A spokesperson for the Prime Minister's Office said in a statement that UK courts can extend the trial time as necessary to ensure that the riot participants are promptly subjected to legal sanctions.
