N Ireland hit by third night of _racist_ violence_ main flashpoint calmer

Riots have erupted for a third consecutive night in Northern Ireland, with police condemning the violence as “racist thuggery” that erupted following an alleged sexual assault. A few dozen masked rioters in the primary flashpoint of Ballymena attacked police, but the unrest was on a smaller scale in the town on Wednesday night compared with previous days.

Al Jazeera's Rory Challands reports from the town of Ballymena.
