Teen charged with murder over UK stabbings as PM Starmer seeks to contain unrest

A 17-year-old appeared in court on Thursday, charged with murdering three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance party in Southport, northwest England, leading to violent protests in several English cities. The unrest, fuelled by misinformation about the suspect, prompted Prime Minister Keir Starmer to convene an emergency meeting with police chiefs in a bid to restore order.
