Hi there. Ore and Sonali with you live and just after five. The

:00:21.:00:26.

weekend may be over. Bad times. But you do have us two and all the top

:00:26.:00:29.

stories crammed into seven and a half minutes. Good times! On the

:00:29.:00:34.

way, the tightrope walker who thought this was a good idea. And

:00:34.:00:40.

Hayley meets the kids who spend the summer feeding sharks.

:00:40.:00:43.

But first to the London riots. The capital hasn't seen anything like

:00:43.:00:47.

it in years. Over the weekend, shops, homes and cars in parts of

:00:47.:00:52.

the city were vandalised and torched by trouble makers. There

:00:52.:00:54.

was also looting, with people breaking into stores and stealing

:00:54.:01:01.

stuff. More than 30 policemen were injured. Politicians, along with

:01:01.:01:06.

ordinary Londoners, have been talking about how shocked they are.

:01:06.:01:08.

The violence all started in Tottenham in North London. Well

:01:08.:01:11.

known around the country for its football team. But now the talk of

:01:12.:01:18.

the town for all the wrong reasons. Tottenham in flames on Saturday

:01:18.:01:22.

night. Petrol bombs were thrown at buildings and a double decker bus

:01:22.:01:27.

was set alight. The riots began after a peaceful march earlier in

:01:27.:01:33.

the afternoon. The protest was about the death of this man, Mark

:01:33.:01:36.

Duggan, who was shot by police last Thursday, as they tried to arrest

:01:36.:01:41.

him. An illegal gun was found on the scene. On Saturday, a group of

:01:41.:01:44.

his friends and family marched to the police station to demand

:01:44.:01:51.

answers about what had happened. A few hours later violence broke out.

:01:51.:01:53.

Officers on horseback arrived but were attacked with bottles and

:01:53.:01:57.

fireworks. Shop windows were smashed and thieves loaded up

:01:57.:02:07.
:02:07.:02:07.

This is the biggest building that was burnt down on Saturday night.

:02:07.:02:11.

It used to be a carpet showroom with loads of flats above it. More

:02:11.:02:18.

than 20 families had to be rescued. The building was completely

:02:18.:02:23.

destroyed. It still smells like a bonfire here. Yesterday, trouble

:02:24.:02:27.

broke out in other areas of the city too. First in Enfield, then in

:02:27.:02:30.

other parts of North London. Shops were also ransacked in Brixton, 11

:02:30.:02:34.

miles south. And property was damaged right in the heart of the

:02:34.:02:38.

capital in Oxford Circus. The police are describing last night's

:02:38.:02:40.

trouble as copycat violence because people were mindlessly copying what

:02:40.:02:45.

they had seen in Tottenham. They say people posting messages on

:02:45.:02:50.

social networking sites helped encourage this criminal behaviour.

:02:50.:02:54.

It is incredibly unusual for this kind of thing to happen in London.

:02:54.:02:59.

The last time anyone saw anything like it was more than 20 years ago.

:02:59.:03:03.

More than 100 people have now been arrested. Politicians have

:03:03.:03:13.

described the violence as shocking, mindless and unacceptable.

:03:13.:03:18.

violence we saw last night had absolutely nothing to do with the

:03:18.:03:23.

death of Mark Duggan. It was needless, opportunistic theft and

:03:23.:03:27.

violence, nothing more and nothing less, and it is extremely

:03:27.:03:30.

unacceptable. The reasons why Mark Duggan was shot last Thursday are

:03:30.:03:32.

being investigated. His family say they don't support the riots.

:03:32.:03:35.

Tonight they will be holding a service in Tottenham to remember

:03:35.:03:40.

him. And there's loads more info on the

:03:40.:03:45.

background to the riots on on our website.

:03:45.:03:51.

Now if you hate maths, you'll really hate this.

:03:51.:03:58.

# And Max, glorious Max! -- mathematics, glorious mathematics

:03:58.:04:04.

I was not keen on that subject I don't know anyone that keen on the

:04:04.:04:06.

subject, but maths genius TV Presenter Carol Vorderman reckons

:04:06.:04:10.

you should study it until you're 18, not just 16. She says our number-

:04:10.:04:12.

crunching skills aren't as good as other countries so drastic action

:04:12.:04:15.

must be taken to get us back to the top.

:04:15.:04:18.

And speaking of staying on top, look at this guy's world record

:04:18.:04:21.

attempt in China to walk between two hot air balloons, 100 metres

:04:21.:04:29.

above the ground. He's known as the Prince of the Tightrope. Wait for

:04:29.:04:34.

it. Wait for it. Looks like he took a bit of a royal tumble. Relax

:04:34.:04:37.

everyone. He was wearing a safety harness so wouldn't have fallen too

:04:37.:04:40.

far. He recovered and made it to the end, but without a new world

:04:40.:04:44.

record. Do you think he is still the Prince of the tightrope? I'm

:04:44.:04:51.

not sure why he's so happy. Anyway that guy has obviously been

:04:51.:04:54.

spending his summer in an unusual way. We've been asking you if

:04:54.:04:57.

you're up to anything a little bit different. And of course you are.

:04:57.:05:00.

Hayley's latest report is from Blackpool where 13 year old Rob and

:05:00.:05:03.

14 year old Holly are getting up close and personal with sharks.

:05:03.:05:05.

Feeding some of the world's most dangerous sharks is a task for a

:05:06.:05:09.

brave expert. But this summer is the job of two children on their

:05:09.:05:15.

summer holidays. Holly and Rob are at the sea centre and they are

:05:15.:05:19.

going to come in here every day to recover these fishy creatures. Hi,

:05:19.:05:24.

guys. You are working this summer. Yes, we're working on this team

:05:24.:05:28.

this summer. We get to work with all the fish and get to prepare the

:05:28.:05:33.

food and feed them and make sure they're OK. The we are feeding the

:05:33.:05:40.

sharks which you can see down there. They look scary. No, the worse they

:05:40.:05:44.

can do is give you a bit of a nip. You have to be careful with the

:05:44.:05:48.

food and make sure you don't put your hands into farce. The other

:05:48.:05:52.

children are outside in the summer holidays but you are working.

:05:52.:05:56.

always wanted to be a marine biologist and there seemed perfect.

:05:56.:06:00.

It's great. I'm having more fun here than I would outside with my

:06:00.:06:06.

friends. You are getting in there and feeding it, what's it like?

:06:06.:06:10.

feels great. It makes you feel closer to the fish than you would

:06:10.:06:15.

be if you wear a normal visitor. bit too close for my liking. But

:06:15.:06:20.

well done, you are very brave. I have to test the water levels. They

:06:20.:06:23.

have to prepare the food. And they have to keep the animals

:06:23.:06:32.

entertained. We are going to feed the architect -- octopus. We put it

:06:32.:06:38.

in a special box to Keepin challenged for his dinner. You're

:06:38.:06:42.

holding the crabs and starfish. It's brilliant, the perfect summer

:06:42.:06:49.

holiday, the best. It's great to being with the animals.

:06:49.:06:53.

Thanks, guys. And from sharks in Blackpool to a baby humpback whale

:06:53.:06:56.

in Australia who's lost its mum. 50 rescuers helped the week-old calf

:06:56.:07:00.

get off the beach and back into deep water. Whales can detect each

:07:00.:07:03.

other even if they are 20 miles apart, so the experts are

:07:03.:07:06.

desperately hoping the mother whale and her baby will hear each other

:07:06.:07:16.
:07:16.:07:18.

and be reunited. And finally. Ore do the voice.

:07:18.:07:23.

Lloyd! After keeping us very entertained on the X Factor, Cher
