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 | :07:23. | :07:26. |
