Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer waits to greet the Sultan of Oman at Number 10 Downing Street in London on August 6, 2024. Nearly a week of street riots across England have thrown up the first major crisis for Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he marks one month since his landslide election win.
