55 people have been arrested after a night of rioting in North London. | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
Petrol bombs were thrown. Vehicles and buildings set on fire and shops | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
were looted. As local people survey the damage, community and political | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
leaders have condemned the destruction. A community that was | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
already hurting has now had the heart ripped out of it. Emergency | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
talks are held tonight about the debt crisis in the eurozone, amid | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
anxiety about how the morning's markets will react. And - the come- | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :01:06. | ||
back kings as Manchester United Hello. Police, politicians and | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
local people have united in condemning the overnight violence | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
in Tottenham in North London, which injured 29 people, most of them | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
police officers. Rioters set billings on fire, looted shops and | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
attacked the police. 55 people were arrested. The violence broke out | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
following an earlier peaceful protest about the fatal shooting of | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
a local man by police a few days ago. Tonight the Metropolitan force | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
said it has put extra police on the streets of Tottenham. | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
This was Tottenham High Road late last night. At one end, officers in | :01:45. | :01:55. | |
:01:55. | :01:56. | ||
riot gear. At the other, the young men they are trying to police. | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
This was the main shopping street - the commercial heart of the | :01:59. | :02:06. | |
community, turned into a battle zone. | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Bricks, firecrackers and flames filled the Knight Air. | :02:11. | :02:19. | |
-- the night air. Homes and shops were destroyed. More than two dozen | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
police officers were hurt. From a vantage point high in a | :02:24. | :02:34. | |
:02:34. | :02:37. | ||
building, running battles could be seen on the street below. | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
This followed a peaceful protest at the death of a man in a police | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
shooting last week. There's no question, the police were targets | :02:45. | :02:53. | |
last night. Here, an empty squad car was attacked before being set | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
ablaze. But there was vandalism and looting too. Targets, seemingly | :03:00. | :03:04. | |
chosen at random. Even several hours after the violence began, at | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
first light the looting went on, apparently unhindered. Here people | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
made off with clothing. Today, police rejected claims they had | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
been slow to catch up we vents and had not been prepared enough for | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the earlier protest. We kept a dignified response to that, to | :03:22. | :03:28. | |
allow that protest to take place. However, once that extreme violence, | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
and it was violence that could not be anticipated on that scale, | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
occurred, we moved the appropriate level of resource s in. | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
residents picked through the wreckage of their neighbourhood, | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the Government today praised the police and said the rioters would | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
feel the full force of the law. The looting and vandalism drew anger | :03:50. | :03:58. | |
from the local MP. The vast majority of people in | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
Tottenham reject what has happened here last night. A community that | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
was already hurting has now had the heart ripped out of it. And some | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
members of the community have been left homeless too. When you look at | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the building now, there's no floors in there. It's like three levels | :04:14. | :04:20. | |
and there's no floors. All my stuff has gone. Electrical goods can be | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
replaced. I have my kid's stuff in there, photos of my girls and my | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
boys. I don't know what to say. Last night, Tottenham paid a heavy | :04:31. | :04:37. | |
price. It is one of London's poorest areas and can ill afford | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
the damage this has done. This evening, the family of the man | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
shot by police on Thursday, Mark Duggan, said they did not condone | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
the rioting. The circumstances surrounding his death are being | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. Our | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
home affairs correspondent looks at how that shooting led to last | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
night's riots. The scene at the fatal shooting which led to a | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
protest march, which led to a riot. On Thursday, a man travelling in a | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
minicab was shot in an arrest operation. An unpolice firearm was | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
recovered from the scene. For police to open fire they must | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
believe there is an imminent threat. The man they shot is Mark Duggan. | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
His death is being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
Commission. Speculation that Mark Duggan was executed in an execution | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
style, involving shots to the head are uncategorically untrue. The | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
IPCC is not only investigating the actions of the officer firing the | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
shots, but the planning, decision- making and implementation of the | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
police operation. It was from the Broadwater Farm | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
estate in Tottenham that yesterday's protest march set off. | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
Many here knew Mark Duggan. They killed him, you know. Because they | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
are a law unto themselves they could say all this in the paper, | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
saying he was this, he was that. I don't see my friend being in a car | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
and being surrounded by armed police and he's going to jump out | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
and open fire on armed police. How does that make sense? 26 years ago, | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
Broadwater Farm became the most infamous estate in the country. | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
Then, as now, it was a death which led to disturbances. This woman | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
died as police who had arrested her son searched her home N the riots | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
that followed a Metropolitan police officer, Constable Keith Blakelock, | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
was murdered. People who have lived here a long time are upset that now | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
it is back in the news again for negative reasons. Most won't go on | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
camera. Events of the past few days have sparked a debate about the | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
wider issues here. Like relationships between locals and | :06:59. | :07:07. | |
The police have not communicated directly with the youth here. It | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
has caused the problem today. They feel they have no word, no voice. | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
The voice they think that is good is smashing up things. So they see | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
their voice get heard. There is anger at outsiders who are said to | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
have come in for mob violence. There are people I have never seen | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
in my life. I believe there were anarchists in there as well. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
family of the dead man say they do not condone what happened last | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
night in his name. They have appealed for an end to the violence. | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Our correspondent is in Tottenham. What is the scene there tonight? | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Well, a very subdued atmosphere here in Tottenham tonight. | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Residents still coming to terms with the rioting which caused such | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
devastation to the high street. That high street is still sealed | :08:03. | :08:09. | |
off. Half a mile of it is a crime scene. You can see the burnt-out | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
police cars which were attacked last night in the background there. | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
There has been disturbances in Enfield, with altercations between | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
protestors and riot police. A number of arrests made, although | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
nothing on the scale of last night. Now, we don't know that's anything | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
to do with the Mark Duggan incident or copycat violence. Meanwhile, | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
investigations continuing here. The question for community leaders and | :08:39. | :08:46. | |
politicians is, was this a case of a peaceful protest being hijacked | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
by fundamental elements? It is something which will take weeks, | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
days, months of calm reflection to answer. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Now, the rest of the day's news. And in the last few hours, | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
emergency talks have been held in advance of the opening of the | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
financial markets T discussions follow the downgrading of America's | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
credit rating on Friday and the continuing instability in the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
eurozone. We can get the latest from our business correspondent. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Not long since that ECB meeting. One of the key meeting, I think, | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
broke up? A lot happening. Let's start with the meeting. There was a | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
conference call to discuss Italy and Spain. The cost of borrowing | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
for Italy and Spain rose to dangerous levels. They are very | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
concerned that due to the size of Italy and Spain they need to get it | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
down. That is why they want to buy up Italian and Spanish bonds. That | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
was resisted by Germany. What we are learning in the past half an | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
hour is indeed the ECB will intervene in the markets and buy up | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
Spanish and Italian bonds. That is according to sources. It does | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
appear to be a change for ECB stance. The other big thing is | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
there will be a conference called G7 Finance Ministers, that includes | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
George Osborne. He is eight hours behind us. The Japanese Finance | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
Minister is a few hours ahead of it thaism are meeting to discuss not - | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
- they are meeting to discuss the downgrading of triple-A. | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
The first markets are open, any suggestions? Last week �1.5 | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
trillion was wiped off shares. A lot of people have beated breath to | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
see what will happen. We don't know whether the markets will shrug off | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
this downgrade. The very early indications from New Zealand | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
trading is that the US dollar has hit an all-time low against the | :10:45. | :10:52. | |
Swiss franc. Speculation of the FTSE opening | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
down 2-3%. Opposition activists in Syria say more than 75 people have | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
been killed in two towns as tanks and trooped moved against | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
protestors. In Deir al-Zour n the north-east of the country, it is | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
reported 50 people died when soldiers stormed the city after | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
dawn. Amateur video, which cannot be verified, shows plumes of smoke | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
and the sound of explosions. The Government denies shelling the city. | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
The NATO-led forces in Afghanistan say four of their soldiers have | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
been killed in two separate attacks. Two French soldiers died and five | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
were wounded when they came under fire from insurgents north of Kabul. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
The two others were killed in the south of the country. Their | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
nationalities have not been disclosed. An investigation is | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
underway in Afghanistan, into the crash yesterday of a US Chinook | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
helicopter, which the Taliban claims to have shot down. 38 people | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
were killed. More than half of them were members of an elite Special | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
Forces unit, the Navy SEALs. It is reported they were called in to | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
help other troops who were under fire. It is likely to increase the | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
pressure on President Obama on his Afghanistan policy. | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
The first pictures of some of the 22 elite Navy SEALs killed in | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
Saturday's helicopter crash. They volunteered to fight, but in their | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
home communities there's a mood of shock and disbelief. It's the | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
biggest single loss of life in the history of US Special Forces. | :12:22. | :12:28. | |
loss of any one of those is tragic, but for such a large group together, | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
that's a tough one to take. It's horrible. It is. It is... You cry. | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
I don't know what else to do. It is sad. It is thought their helicopter, | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
like this one, was brought down by a Taliban rocket during a raid on | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
insurgents in these mountains. This is an area where Afghan forces were | :12:48. | :12:54. | |
supposed to have taken over. The Americans are already beginning to | :12:54. | :12:57. | |
head home. With 10,000 troops ordered to leave by President Obama | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
before the end of this year. We are going to have to address the | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
problem that is created. Out there is the perception Afghanistan and | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
other parts of that part of the world, that America is withdrawing. | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
That can't be good. That is a minority view. Most Americans want | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
their troops out now. Returning to the White House, with his family, | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
Barack Obama was trying his best to look relaxed. The week ahead could | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
be one of his most challenging yet. Bracing himself for the fallout | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
after the downgrade the last thing he needs is more bad news from | :13:35. | :13:41. | |
Afghanistan. The fact it is members of the US Navy sales, the same unit | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
which killed Osama Bin Laden has taken some of the shine off what | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
Americans see one of the few successes of his presidency. | :13:50. | :13:59. | |
Now, we can catch up with all the day's sport news. The Community | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Shield may be regarded as a meaningless match, but Manchester | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
United came from two down to beat Manchester City at Wembley. Their | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
winner came in injury time. The volume turned up for the | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
noiseiest of neighbours. Wembley rocking. Like most concerts, | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
finding personal space was tough, until Jolean Lescott located a spot, | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
with devastating effect. It was a goal few had seen coming. The same | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
could be said for their second. This arguably, the best moment of | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
Edin Dzeko's with City. His team were not stunned though. | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
Another new recruit, Ashley Young set up Chris Smalling for the | :14:48. | :14:57. | |
comeback. Beaten by Barcelona pulled off a Catalan... They were | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
set to hold on for penalties until the ultimate moment of confusion | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
with a minute left. Nani knew what he was doing. | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
So much for just being preseason, and proof again that Manchester -- | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
pre-season and proof again that Manchester don't know when they are | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
beaten. City looking over the fence. West Ham have started life in the | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
championship with defeat at home to Cardiff City after their relegation | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
the Hammers are favourites to go back up. They dominated the match | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
but could not score. Cardiff stole it in injury time. Kenny Miller | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
with their injury-time winner. Two games in the Scottish Premier | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
League today. Motherwell are top of the table after beating Hearts 1-0. | :15:45. | :15:55. | |
That was the score at Pittodrie. Anthony Stokes scored the only goal | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
mid-way through the second half to make it two out of two for Celtic. | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
Rugby league's challenge cup final will be between Wigan Warriors and | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Leeds Rhinos. Castleford were minutes away from Wembley. The | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
Rhinos beat them in extra time. Castleford tigers thought this was | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the try that could get them to Wembley for the first time in 19 | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
:16:28. | :16:33. | ||
Leeds were left playing catch, and failing. | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
Tigers were 8-2 up into the final ten minutes. The defence that held | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
so firm let them down. Watkin's try not good enough by itself. They | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
:16:55. | :16:56. | ||
needed this kick to level the He's missed it. In extra time, the | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
first points win the match. A high tackle gave Sinfield at kick at | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
goal. Rhinos, winners up last year, are | :17:09. | :17:14. | |
on their way back to Wembley. It's been a great weekend for British | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
triathlete after Helen Jenkins's victory yesterday. Alistair | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
Brownlee won today. It is his third win after five events of the World | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
Triathlon Series. This will be on the same course used for next | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
year's Olympics. After the swim and bike ride Brownlee took complete | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
control in the 10km run and was able to enjoy the home support. His | :17:37. | :17:42. | |
brother was third. The atmosphere was incredible. | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
There is a part of the course way out in London. People were around | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
there. The last bit here was incredible. There were thousands of | :17:49. | :17:53. |
