Continuing tensions between police chiefs and the Government over how

the riots in England were handled. As raids continue to arrest

suspects, the Home Secretary says the public wanted tough action.

Thousands attend a peace rally in Birmingham. Relatives of three men

who died during the disturbances address the crowd. The three boys

died for this community. I hope this community will remember them.

Six people, including two children, are killed after a stabbing

incident in Jersey. Police reconstruction. The Norwegian

gunman, Anders Breivik, is taken back to the island where he shot

dead 69 people. And on top of the world. But can England's cricketers

Good evening. The Home Secretary has defended the Government's

criticism of the initial police response to last week's riots in

England. Theresa May insisted that it was her job to tell the police

what the public wanted them to do. It comes as senior police officers

have also questioned the Prime Minister's plan to ask a former

American police chief to advise ministers on tackling gang violence,

as our correspondent, Danny Savage, Open the door! In areas where

rioting took place, like here in London, police have been getting on

with the business of tracking down those suspected of being involved

in the trouble. There is a growing chorus of concern about the

Government seeking the advice of a US police chief. To avoid more of

this, Bill Bratton is coming to the UK to give some tips on how to deal

with gangs. Sir Hugh Orde, the President of the Association of

Chief Police Officers, he is not impressed. He told a Sunday

newspaper, I am not sure I want to learn about gangs from an area of

America that has 400 of them. It seems to me if you have 400 gangs,

you're not being very effective. A former officer can see the benefits

of the visitor from the States. British police forces have to

accept that their style of policing has not worked. That is what we are

talking about. You can put 6,000 police officers on the beat or you

can put 16,000, it matters not. What matters is the style of

policing. That is not the only thing the Government and police

seem unable to agree on at the moment. The acting chief here has

accused politicians of sending out mixed messages when it comes to

dealing with public disorder. of the things I did discuss with

the Prime Minister was the fact there is often inconsistency of

feedback in terms of how policing public order. We are accused of

excessive force and we are accused of not being forceful enough. The

Home Secretary says she will not shy away from telling the police

what the public think. The police had to make operational decisions

on any incident at the time. The public was clear and I was clear

that there had to be a change in tactics to ensure we had that tough

policing. The opposition says, in the last week, the Government has

overstepped the mark. Where you get the Home Secretary saying she has

ordered the police to do certain things and the Prime Minister has

said she has ordered them to do certain things when they have no

power to do it, that is why the police felt frustrated. The Home

Secretary has reiterated that police budgets will still be cut.

It underlines another contentious issue between the two camps. A

peace rally has taken place in Birmingham, where three people men

were run over and killed during last week's riots. Haroon Jahan,

Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir died as they tried to protect their

local shops from looters. A third man has tonight been charged with

their murders. Our correspondent, They fell silent for of Haroon

Jahan and, Abdul Musavir and Shahzad Ali. And then their

families, raw with grief, took to the stage. Thank you everyone for

coming. Ought I can ask is, forget about me. I am nobody. Try to

remember the three men who sacrificed their lives for the

community. We are not the best but we can try to be good. We have lost

three brothers who were martyred. In this Park, central for one of

Birmingham'as porous, people of all faiths wanted to show they had more

to offer than the violent scenes this week. I do not think anyone

could have imagined, during the height of those troubles, people

would be standing en masse together to demonstrate for peace and to

answer very robustly those who came to the streets to try to tear them

apart. This largely spontaneous event, put together in just 48

hours, was an opportunity for the community to unite rather than

divide. The challenge will be to keep it that way. Police in Croydon

have charged a 33-year-old local man with starting a fire during the

riots there that destroyed a local furniture store. The Reeves store

had been run by the same family in Croydon for more than 140 years. It

was set alight during the widespread trouble in the capital

last Monday night. A British soldier has died in an explosion in

Afghanistan. The Ministry of Defence said the serviceman, from

First Battalion, the Rifles, was killed by a bomb while he was on

patrol in Helmand Province on Friday. His family has been told.

Further north, at least 19 people died in an attack by militants on

offices used by the governor of Parwan province. Six people,

including two children, have died after a knife attack in Jersey. A

30-year-old man has been arrested. Police were called to a flat in St

Helier this afternoon where all six victims were found with stab wounds.

From Jersey, our special correspondent, Razia Iqbal, sent

A sunny afternoon in an ordinary residential neighbour head

transformed into a major crime scene. Six people have lost their

lives. Two men, two women and two children. The incident started

inside a flat and spilled out into this garden area outside. The

police have not released any identities. A neighbour heard

something of the incident before he knew what had happened. There were

children screaming but really in terror as opposed to a playful

scream. As the gravity of the incident became clear, the

emergency department at the hospital was briefly closed. The

killings had taken place in an area which is far from the affluence

that Jersey is known for. Multiple stabbings like this would shock

anywhere, particularly when they include young children. In Jersey

they are extremely rare. Josie is a really safe place. The last murder

was in 2004, seven years ago. Crime is incredibly low. It is probably

one of the safest places in the Western world. The police admitted

the uniqueness of this event in this place has shot up not just

local press the -- residence but the police and emergency services.

The Norwegian gunman, who shot dead 69 people on the island of Utoeya

three weeks ago, has been taken back to the island for a police

reconstruction. 32-year-old Anders Breivik was guarded by armed

officers and tethered on a rope as he led investigators around the

island in an eight hour visit. Emily Buchanan's report contains

flash photography. They took Anders Behring Breivik back to the scene

of his crime. He arrived dressed in a red T-shirt on the same ferry he

had ridden on the day he systematically killed so many

innocent people. He described his actions to police, including here,

simulating the firing of his gun at the water. He was heavily harnessed

to guards and wore a bullet-proof vest in case of revenge attacks.

The visit has provoked heated debate in Norway. Police say it was

necessary. TRANSLATION: Our presumption that

his presence on the island would help his memory were totally right.

We got a lot of new information about what happened. Norway is

still reeling from the shock of 77 Lions lost - most young people

enjoying a Labour Party summer camp. The rest in a bomb attack in the

centre of Oslo. Anders Behring Breivik has admitted the attacks

but denies criminal guilt. Police Libyan rebel forces say they have

taken control of part of the strategic coastal town of tsar

white -- is a we up, around 30 miles from Tripoli. Opposition

fighters have been seen in the centre of the town although it is

believed that pro-Gaddafi troops are still in the area. This report

from Orla Guerin. Rebel supporters on the streets of

Sao we are, welcoming the fighters to Colonel Gaddafi's backyard. --

Zawiyah. It is unclear how much of the city

the control if they have been able to stay. They were met with

shelling and gunfire. The regime has crushed opposition here before.

But the rebels believe their push for freedom is gaining momentum

after months of deadlock. They say Colonel Gaddafi's days are numbered.

The circle is tightening on the tyrant, Muhammad told us. We are

cutting his supply lines from the south and the West. The fighters

here believe the tide is turning their way. They have made gains on

several fronts in recent days but they are still facing opposition.

The key issue is Colonel Gaddafi's troops - how long and how hard will

they be willing to fight? We ask the senior officer in Gaddafi's

army, a brigadier captured last month. We cannot reveal his

identity or independently verified his testimony. TRANSLATION: There

are a group of officers who are still willing to die. The majority

support him. I know that from the battlefield and from talking to

them. Do you think that Gaddafi will ever agree to give up power?

TRANSLATION: That is up to him, but I think that, if he was going to

relinquish power, he would have done it before now. From what I

have seen, this war will last a long time because neither side will

give an inch. The rebels may still finish -- face

a long fight but they are now closer than ever to their enemy,

and the regime is facing at critical test of strength. -- a

critical test. Michele Bachmann has won the first

major test for candidates hoping to run for president next year. She

narrowly topped the Iowa straw poll. The Governor of Texas, Rick Perry,

has thrown his hat into the ring. Michele Bachmann - the first big

test of the presidential campaign. The tea Party juggernaut has just

shifted up a gear. Its favoured candidate, Michele Bachmann,

dominated the airwaves after an early victory over Republican

rivals. The winner of the 2011 Iowa straw poll is used -- is Michele

Bachmann. Just a small straw poll, but a big

spotlight for her fiery rhetoric. Some wonder if she can appeal to

moderate Republicans and at the same time they ask Nick run the,

the front-runner, is tough enough on important issues. A new

challenger has just emerged. He is the Governor of Texas, like

President Bush was. Now Rick Perry wants the same high office. He lost

his campaign in South Carolina. will not sit back and accept the

part that America is on. A great country requires a better direction.

A renewed nation needs a new president. He combines an economic

track record with socially conservative views. Could he unite

Republicans in the race for the White House? It is still 15 months

before the election and President of Lama -- President Obama knows

that is reckoned on the economy is on the question.

All the goals or on Match Of The Day 2 after the news. Turn away now

if you do not want to know the results.

Ashley Young forced an own goal in the last ten minutes for a 2-1 win

for Manchester United. Andre Vilas-Boas had a frustrating

introduction to the Premier League. His side drew 0-0 at Stoke.

Kilmarnock won 4-1 against the burning. It is their first victory

under Kenny Shiels since he took back -- took over back in April.

Mark Cavendish has laid down his marker for next year's Olympics by

winning today's Road Cycling test event. The route took the riders

from the more light to Boxhill in Surrey and back again. He was the

top sprinter in this year's Tour de France.

England's cricketers were out celebrating last night. After

beating India, they became the number one Test team in the world.

The challenge now is the in there. It is not that long ago since they

were officially the worst side in the world. So what has changed?

No, you were not dreaming - England are officially the best. But how

did they actually get there? Just two years ago, they were ranked 6th.

Enter coach Andy Flower, who instantly galvanise things. He sets

very high standards, he expects high standards, and he demonstrates

those standards himself. He is an excellent role model for the team,

he is a very fit guy, he is a tough guy, and that is what we are

looking for. And with what results. England have now won their last

Test series. Are they the best England ever? They might not have

an individual style like Ian Botham. That has gone straight into the

confectionery stall and out again. The England set-up was very

different in the 50s. Is it the Ashes? Yes, England have won back

the Ashes. They have a main course, a back-up coach, and batting coach,

a fielding coach, at trick cyclist and all the rest of it. All we had

was a manager. The investment seems to be paying

off. England did slump after the Ashes euphoria of 2005, but this

time there is no danger of complacency. The challenge is to

state where they are. Andy Flower said they want to win a World Cup.

He has the ambition to say, we have take that box but now we need to

Getting to the top is one thing, but now they want is the there.
