A 38-year-old man has been arrested after violence continued in south Belfast last night.

The past two nights have seen disorder in Glenmachan Street in the Village area.

On Monday over 30 petrol and paint bombs were thrown at police, while the windscreens of three cars were shattered and splattered with paint.

A majority of the rioters appeared to be children and young teens.

Footage and images taken by the Belfast Telegraph showed a firework being thrown at a police land rover and a masked man encouraging a child to partake in the violence.

Why are these violent demonstrations happening, could this disorder spread to other areas, and why are adults encouraging children to get involved?

Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph visuals editor Kevin Scott, who has been in the area over the past two nights.
