'No justification': Northern Ireland's justice minister speaks out on violence

Northern Ireland's justice minister, Naomi Long, of the Alliance party, said 'dishonesty' over Brexit had fuelled resentment but condemned the violence and rioting that has hit the region over the past week. Long said scenes of children wreaking havoc in their communities, cheered on by adults, were 'depressing and disgraceful'. Arlene Foster, the first minister and Democratic Unionist party leader, also condemned the violence, as more police officers were injured on Wednesday night Subscribe to Guardian News on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/guardianwiressub ► https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2...
