England star Jess Carter targeted by racist abuse during Euros
England star Jess Carter says she has been the victim of racist abuse online during the UEFA Women's Euros in Switzerland. The Lionesses defender, who has 49 England caps, said she will be "taking a step back from social media and leaving it to a team to deal with". In an Instagram post, the 27-year-old player said: "From the start of the tournament, I have experienced a lot of racial abuse. Whilst I feel every fan is entitled to their opinion on performance and result, I don't agree or think it's ok to target someone's appearance or race." Carter said she was stepping back from social media to "protect myself in a bid to keep my focus on helping the team anyway I can". She added: "Hopefully speaking out will make the people writing this abuse think twice so that others won't have to deal with it." Carter also said that England have made some "historic changes with the Lionesses squad" that she was "so proud" of, and she hopes that by speaking out about racial abuse "it will make another positive change for all". The Football Association leadership has condemned the "abhorrent abuse" against Carter and has contacted UK police about it. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said in a statement: "Our priority is Jess and giving her all the support she needs. We strongly condemn those responsible for this disgusting racism. "As soon as we were made aware of the racist abuse Jess received, we immediately contacted UK police. They are in touch with the relevant social media platform, and we are working with police to ensure those responsible for this hate crime are brought to justice." The Lionesses said in a statement: "We stand with Jess and all Lionesses players past and present who have suffered racism. "No one should have to endure such vile abuse, be that in football or any walk of life." They added: "Those behind this online poison must be held accountable." Carter has started all four of England's games at the tournament. The defending champions face Italy on Tuesday night in Geneva in the Euros semi-finals. If they win and reach the final, they will play either Germany or Spain, who face each other on Wednesday. The Lionesses also said that until now, they have chosen to take the knee before matches. "It is clear we and football need to find another way to tackle racism," they said. England to remain standing before semi-final The Lionesses said they have agreed as a squad to remain standing before kick-off in the match against Italy. "We hope the game can come together to see what more can be done." Kneeling, a symbolic anti-racism gesture, came to prominence in 2016 when NFL player Colin Kaepernick knelt in protest during the United States national anthem and became more widespread during the Black Lives Matter movement.

Man charged with violent disorder over clashes outside Epping hotel
A man has been charged with violent disorder and criminal damage following clashes outside a hotel in Essex believed to be housing asylum seekers. Eight police officers were injured following what started as a peaceful protest outside the Bell Hotel in Epping on Thursday evening. Keith Silk, 33, of Torrington Drive, Loughton, was arrested on Saturday, Essex Police said. The force said on Sunday that the CPS had authorised police to charge Silk with one count of violent disorder and one count of criminal damage. He was remanded into custody and will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Monday. Essex Police said: 'Our investigations into the incidents which followed a peaceful protest in Epping on Thursday evening are continuing at pace and we thank the public for sharing vital information.' Thursday's demonstration was the latest in a series of protests outside the hotel since 38-year-old asylum seeker Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu was charged with sexual assault following an incident where he is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl. He denied the charge when he appeared at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
