Anti-migrant violence continued in Belfast for a second night after a stabbing attack allegedly by a Sudanese asylum seeker resulted in a man losing his left eye. Immigrants described fleeing their homes in terror after gangs of masked people targeted them last night. We hear from two women from the Sudanese community in Belfast and speak to a local politician.

Also on the programme: more women than ever are sleeping rough in England, we hear about the challenges they face.
