:00:20. > :00:23.A pledge to hundred down the rioters one by one. David Cameron
:00:23. > :00:29.says they will face the law whatever it takes.
:00:29. > :00:34.We will track you down, we will find you, we will charge you, we
:00:34. > :00:37.will punish you. You will pay for what you have done. Today as the
:00:37. > :00:41.House of Commons we stand shoulder to shoulder, united against the
:00:41. > :00:44.vandalism and the violence we have seen on the streets.
:00:44. > :00:49.The days when rioters claimed the streets. There is criticism of the
:00:49. > :00:52.police tactics when the trouble started. A 12-year-old boy is
:00:52. > :00:58.sentenced in Manchester. Half of those appearing in the London
:00:58. > :01:02.courts are under 18. The malaisian student robbed while he was hurt
:01:02. > :01:07.and helpless speaks for the first time about his attackers.
:01:07. > :01:12.I felt sorry for them, but it was really sad, amongst them there were
:01:12. > :01:17.children. It was very sad.
:01:17. > :01:22.We return to Tottenham where it all began. Also tonight: George Osborne
:01:22. > :01:26.says that the recovery will take longer than he hoped. He warns the
:01:26. > :01:31.global economy is facing its toughest test for three years.

:02:07. > :02:12.A packed House of Commons heard the Prime Minister describe this week's
:02:12. > :02:16.riots as a scale of law-breaking not seen for decades. There was
:02:16. > :02:22.universal condemnation of the violence with Ed Miliband saying
:02:22. > :02:25.that Labour stood shoulder to shoulder with the Government. David
:02:25. > :02:29.Cameron outlined a range of measures to help track down the
:02:29. > :02:32.rioters and to help businesses affected by the violence, but there
:02:32. > :02:38.was criticism of the police response when the violence first
:02:38. > :02:44.broke out. We are reporting on the riots, the cause and the victims.
:02:44. > :02:48.First, Nick Robertson on the day that Parliament was recalled.
:02:48. > :02:53.A smash and grab raid in south London. Today, though, it was the
:02:53. > :02:56.police doing it. With the cameras invited along to witness a suspect
:02:56. > :03:00.being halled in. They and their political masters
:03:00. > :03:03.want the message to go out, that the streets of Britain are back
:03:03. > :03:07.under control. To the law-abiding people who play
:03:07. > :03:12.by the rules, who are the overwhelming majority of our
:03:12. > :03:15.country, I say that the fight-back has begun. We will protect you. If
:03:15. > :03:21.you have had your livelihood and roent damaged, we will compensate
:03:21. > :03:25.you. We are on your side. To the lawless minority, the criminals who
:03:25. > :03:31.have taken what they can get, I say this, we will track you down, find
:03:31. > :03:34.you, charge you, punish you. You will pay for what you have done. A
:03:34. > :03:37.packed House of Commons spoke as one during this special emergency
:03:37. > :03:42.session, almost as if the country were at war.
:03:42. > :03:45.Whatever we disagree on, week by week, month by month, today as a
:03:45. > :03:50.House of Commons we stand shoulder to shoulder, united against the
:03:50. > :03:55.vandalism and the violence we have seen on our streets. There can be
:03:55. > :03:59.no excuses. No justification, this behaviour has disgusted us all it
:03:59. > :04:03.cannot be allowed to stand, we will not allow it to stand.
:04:03. > :04:08.The bravery of individual police officers caught up in the violence
:04:08. > :04:14.was praised on all sides, but there was wide spread criticism that
:04:14. > :04:17.thinker boss' decisions, the tactics and of the numbers on the
:04:17. > :04:21.streets. What became clear, there were too
:04:21. > :04:25.few police deployed on the streets and the tactics they were using
:04:25. > :04:30.were not working. The police chiefs have been frank about why this
:04:30. > :04:32.happened. The police treated the situation too much as a public
:04:32. > :04:36.order issue, rather than one of crime.
:04:36. > :04:41.The Prime Minister said in future combating gangs would be a national
:04:41. > :04:46.priority, the police powers to remove face masks would be extended
:04:46. > :04:52.and discussions to limit the use of the internet and instant messaging
:04:52. > :04:58.to coordinate criminal con %. The week that Britain would rather
:04:58. > :05:02.forget began in Tottenham. Today the MP for the area spelled out the
:05:02. > :05:06.anger of his constituents. 45 people have lost their homes in
:05:06. > :05:11.Tottenham. Burnt to the ground, running from their homes, carrying
:05:11. > :05:16.children in their arms, the cry is where were the police? In Croydon
:05:16. > :05:19.on Monday they were asking the same question. According to the local MP,
:05:19. > :05:22.who said that his constituency had become a war zone.
:05:22. > :05:27.I plead with Prime Minister on the behalf of my constituents to think
:05:27. > :05:32.again about the police numbers. The people of Croydon, the people of
:05:32. > :05:36.London want more police in London, not fewer.
:05:36. > :05:39.Salford's MPs said on Tuesday there were too few police and too many
:05:39. > :05:43.under orders not to intervene. Will the Prime Minister give full
:05:43. > :05:47.backing to the police to intervene in the circumstances, because it
:05:47. > :05:51.was the case that some officers had instructions where they did not
:05:51. > :05:55.have riot gear, where they were not trained, that they had to stand by
:05:55. > :05:59.and watch what happened. The effect on public confidence is devastating.
:05:59. > :06:03.The Prime Minister said up to 16,000 officers would remain
:06:03. > :06:07.available to the streets of London to be policed tonight and through
:06:07. > :06:11.the weekend. The problem he insists is not the future Government cuts,
:06:11. > :06:14.but the current police policies which keep officers stuck behind
:06:14. > :06:19.desks. I can make a clear pledge to the
:06:19. > :06:23.House. At the end of this process of ensuring that the police budgets
:06:23. > :06:28.are affordable, we will be able to surge as many police on to the
:06:29. > :06:32.streets as we have in recent days in London, in Wolverhampton, in
:06:32. > :06:37.Manchester. One by one officers are identifying those that they believe
:06:37. > :06:41.should be brought to justice. Today, politicians united to
:06:41. > :06:48.condemn this week's violence, but they divided on the future of the
:06:48. > :06:53.police. So far 1,500 people have been
:06:53. > :06:57.arrested. Half of those appearing in court in London are under 18. In
:06:57. > :07:03.Manchester a 12-year-old boy was among those sentenced today. His
:07:03. > :07:08.mother shouted abuse at reporters as the family left the court. Our
:07:08. > :07:13.UK Affairs Correspondent spent the day in the courts.
:07:13. > :07:19.In court and not even a teenager. We can't identify this boy as he is
:07:19. > :07:23.only 12 years old. Today he was given a nine-month referral order
:07:23. > :07:27.after admitting looting in riots in Manchester. His parents are being
:07:27. > :07:31.hold responsible for the sins of their child. His mother criticised
:07:31. > :07:36.by the magistrates. (BLEEP).
:07:36. > :07:41.And walking out of court in Nottingham, an 11-year-old girl,
:07:41. > :07:45.hiding her face behind a black hood. One month out of primary school she
:07:45. > :07:50.pleaded guilty to criminal damage and smirked when asked to apologise.
:07:50. > :07:54.They are two of the hundreds of people appearing in koirts after
:07:54. > :08:00.evenings spent stealing and vandalising in cities across
:08:00. > :08:03.England. Many are adults but large numbers are in their teams. Some
:08:03. > :08:08.say that they were powerless to stop the trouble.
:08:08. > :08:13.I can't tie him to a bed, I'm in the allowed to. I can't hit him,
:08:13. > :08:18.I'm not allowed to. I can't lock him in his room. I'm not allowed to.
:08:18. > :08:23.Pictures here give an idea of the sheer numbers involved in this one
:08:23. > :08:27.robbery. The owners say that those responsible need to be punished.
:08:27. > :08:33.If you were here looting, you were not caught up in the moment, you
:08:33. > :08:38.made of point of coming into town. You may have been looking and
:08:38. > :08:42.caught up, so, you came in. Here in Manchester there are many
:08:42. > :08:46.windows boarded up and many properties damaged. As for the
:08:46. > :08:51.police, they are still trying to identify all of those responsible.
:08:51. > :08:55.Across England more than 1,500 people have been arrested. Over 600
:08:55. > :08:58.have appeared before the courts. There are warnings that those
:08:58. > :09:02.convicted could lose the right to a council house.
:09:02. > :09:06.We have the power to evict people guilty of criminal or antisocial
:09:06. > :09:12.behaviour within the city. The question I'm asking... You are
:09:12. > :09:16.not asking nothing. This has left families upset. 17-
:09:16. > :09:19.year-old Anthony Lloyd lives here, he is awaiting sentence after
:09:19. > :09:24.admitting looting. I don't like the riots, but that
:09:24. > :09:30.has nothing to do with coming here. But he is a member of your family.
:09:30. > :09:34.He is in jail for the riots? We are going to pay for it, so don't worry
:09:34. > :09:37.about it. Hest who is without sin cast the first stone.
:09:37. > :09:43.But members of the other families know that the police are studying
:09:43. > :09:47.the many faces of those suspected of being a part of this trouble.
:09:47. > :09:50.And Nick Robertson is at Westminster for us. Nick, as you
:09:50. > :09:55.expect, there was praise for the police in the Commons, but you
:09:55. > :09:58.could not get away from the fact that there was criticism? There is
:09:58. > :10:03.a consensus, that there should have been more police and a criticism
:10:03. > :10:06.too of their tactics, but after the unity there was division between
:10:06. > :10:10.the political parties with Labour MPs lining up to say that now is
:10:10. > :10:14.not the time to cut budgets in such a way that there will be cuts in
:10:14. > :10:19.the police officers. Whilst the Government insisted it was possible
:10:19. > :10:22.to make the cuts without front line cuts to the police. Officers, why?
:10:22. > :10:25.Because they insist that the problem is the wrong decision-
:10:25. > :10:30.making by the senior police officers. Using as an illustration
:10:30. > :10:35.the fact that this week in London we went from 3,000 police officers
:10:35. > :10:40.on the streets to 16,000 police officers on the streets. That was
:10:40. > :10:44.after the politicians interfered to say that something more must be
:10:44. > :10:48.done. Tonight the President of The Association of Chief of Police
:10:48. > :10:51.Officers, Sir Hugh Orde, appeared on Newsnight and will enter the
:10:51. > :10:55.fray to say that the budget cuts will mean fewer officers. If the
:10:55. > :10:59.Prime Minister wants what he says, more people on the front line, he
:10:59. > :11:03.will have to sack sent that something has to give.
:11:03. > :11:07.-- he will have to accept that something has to give.
:11:07. > :11:12.Are you surprised about the hand wringing, how little there was of
:11:12. > :11:17.it of the causes much the riots? We would have expected this debate
:11:17. > :11:21.to be dominated by questions of protest, politics, race, perhaps,
:11:22. > :11:27.of deprivation. Yet they barely featured in today's debate. There
:11:27. > :11:31.seemed to be another consensus a monks MPs that this was about
:11:32. > :11:35.criminality, about something that had gone badly wrong in society.
:11:35. > :11:37.Now Labour leader, Ed Miliband, says that the answer is to look for
:11:38. > :11:42.a public inquiry to investigate this.
:11:42. > :11:46.David Cameron on the other hand says, it is a chance to revive his
:11:46. > :11:51.theme of the broken society. It is ground on which, surprisingly, he
:11:51. > :11:54.finds himself comfortable indeed. Thank you.
:11:54. > :12:00.Police in Birmingham investigating the deaths of three men have
:12:00. > :12:04.arrested two teenagers and a man. Brothers, Shazad Ali and Abdul
:12:04. > :12:08.Musavir along with Haroon Jahan were trying to protect shops from
:12:08. > :12:11.looters when they were mown down by a hit-and-run driver. A 32-year-old
:12:11. > :12:15.man who is being questioned has been released on bail.
:12:15. > :12:19.The Home Secretary, Theresa May, has said that the disorder of the
:12:19. > :12:23.recent days is a symbol of a deeper malaise in sofplt the violence
:12:23. > :12:29.began after a peaceful protest about the shooting by the police of
:12:29. > :12:33.a man in Tottenham in north London. Our Home Editor Mark Easton has
:12:33. > :12:41.spent the day there to talk to the locals about what they think lies
:12:41. > :12:45.behind the riots. Where the madness began. Tottenham High Road, trying
:12:45. > :12:50.to make sense of what happened that night. What was going through the
:12:50. > :12:58.heads that burnt and took to robbery. Was it going -- was it
:12:58. > :13:03.grievance on greed? Niece lads dripping with designer staples show
:13:03. > :13:07.the young men who feel excluded from the consumer society that they
:13:07. > :13:12.so much care about. Do you think that anything about
:13:12. > :13:17.what was said was justify final? Was it a protest? I think it was
:13:17. > :13:23.the best protest that ever happened. The best, ever.
:13:23. > :13:26.The copy-cat violence may have been no more than opportunism, but in
:13:26. > :13:30.Tottenham, while thought unacceptable, that the Prime
:13:30. > :13:34.Minister was wrong to think it was gang-related.
:13:35. > :13:37.I have heard people say how can they destroy their community, but I
:13:37. > :13:42.don't think that those who have been doing the violence feel a part
:13:42. > :13:47.of the community. I think that they have been disengaged from us for a
:13:47. > :13:50.long time. A jeweller whose business was
:13:50. > :13:53.trashed took issue with the argument.
:13:53. > :13:58.Some people are trying to say because the youths are being
:13:58. > :14:02.checked by the police, searched by the police. They have to be.
:14:02. > :14:07.this is what we are exploring. Two responses from the people I
:14:07. > :14:10.have met here. One is that David Cameron is right, that it is about
:14:10. > :14:15.discipline, about the personal responsibility, about parenting,
:14:15. > :14:25.but the other is that there are underlying social and economic
:14:25. > :14:28.
:14:28. > :14:36.factors which if unaddressed will Most of the people who are looting
:14:36. > :14:41.have these things already. They had the Nikes, the �100 Janes. So this
:14:41. > :14:45.isn't about deprivation or racism? No, it's not racism or deprivation.
:14:45. > :14:48.Sometimes it's about senseless violence. Outwardly there's a
:14:48. > :14:53.determination to move on. But privately, this is a community
:14:53. > :14:59.anxious that the root causes of Saturday night's inSanity won't be
:14:59. > :15:02.addressed by tough soundbites and condemnation.
:15:02. > :15:07.Today David Cameron said the whole country had been shocked by this
:15:07. > :15:11.week's appalling scenes. Among them footage of a Malaysian student
:15:11. > :15:14.being mugged by rioters pretending to help him. They've now been
:15:14. > :15:20.broadcast around the world. Tonight police arrested a man in connection
:15:20. > :15:24.with the attack. And Ashraf Haziq has been speaking for the first
:15:24. > :15:29.time. When he watch that's video of
:15:29. > :15:33.himself being mugged, Ashraf Haziq says it doesn't seem real. There is
:15:33. > :15:39.no disputing that instead of being helped after being assaulted, some
:15:39. > :15:43.youths simply help themselves to the contents of his bag. Today, the
:15:43. > :15:52.20-year-old student spoke of his ordeal, just a day after undergoing
:15:52. > :15:57.surgery on his jaw. The doctor put some metal inside and it hurts my
:15:57. > :16:03.mouth because there's metal inside. So far it's good. How do you feel
:16:03. > :16:09.about those people who did what they did? I feel sorry for them,
:16:09. > :16:18.but it was really sad, because amongst them there were children.
:16:18. > :16:24.It was very sad. Did that shock you that they were quite young? Yeah.
:16:24. > :16:30.He was in primary school, I think. It was quite shocking. Far from
:16:30. > :16:34.fleeing from the UK, he's told his mother he plans on staying here to
:16:34. > :16:41.finish his accountancy studies. spoke to her yesterday. She was
:16:41. > :16:44.really worried. She wants me to go back home, but I refused. After his
:16:44. > :16:49.ordeal on Monday and after having to undergo surgery yesterday,
:16:49. > :16:53.Ashraf Haziq has shown an incredible amount of bravery coming
:16:53. > :16:58.to talk to us today. I asked him how he keeps so positive. He just
:16:58. > :17:01.laughed and said, "I don't know." The ordeal has been watched by
:17:01. > :17:05.millions on the internet. It's led to thousands of pounds being raised
:17:05. > :17:10.for him by well wishers to help him through the rest of his stay in
:17:10. > :17:15.Britain. And coming up on tonight's
:17:15. > :17:25.programme: England power on against India in their quest to be the best
:17:25. > :17:26.
:17:26. > :17:30.The Chancellor, George Osborne, has conceded that Britain's economic
:17:30. > :17:33.recovery would be longer and harder than hoped amid renewed turmoil on
:17:33. > :17:39.global markets. He defended the Government's efforts to tackle the
:17:39. > :17:45.deficit, saying it had made the country a saifbhaven for investors.
:17:45. > :17:49.Ed Balls said the Chancellor was in denial.
:17:50. > :17:53.These are extraordinary times in the markets, with the global shares
:17:53. > :17:58.plunge beginning last week. interrupt your regular programme.
:17:58. > :18:02.The closing bell is ringing now... Fears the governments defaulting on
:18:03. > :18:06.debts and a possible second recession have scared investors. So,
:18:06. > :18:11.troubled waters, and that's why the Chancellor wanted to brief MPs. He
:18:11. > :18:14.said the UK was a secure port in the storm. George Osborne
:18:14. > :18:18.acknowledged life would be difficult for awhile. The whole
:18:18. > :18:23.world now realises that the huge overhang of debt means that the
:18:23. > :18:27.recovery will take longer and be harder than had been hoped. Markets
:18:27. > :18:31.are waking up to this fact and that is what makes this the most
:18:32. > :18:36.dangerous time for the global economy since 2008. He said his
:18:36. > :18:41.deficit-cutting plan would secure the UK's future. These bold steps
:18:41. > :18:46.have made Britain that safehaven in this sovereign debt storm. Labour
:18:46. > :18:49.threw those words back at the Chancellor. Families and businesses,
:18:49. > :18:56.deeply worried about their jobs and mortgages, will hear the
:18:56. > :19:00.Chancellor's talk of saifbhaven and conclude he is deeply complacent or
:19:00. > :19:03.in complete denial about what is going on in our country. What's
:19:03. > :19:09.said over there in Parliament, the success of the Chancellor's
:19:09. > :19:12.strategy will depend on what goes on along -- a long way from here.
:19:12. > :19:16.There hasn't been much economic growth over the last nine months
:19:16. > :19:20.and he needs more of it if he's going to pull in the tax revenues
:19:20. > :19:24.to bring down the deficit. Companies like this are still
:19:24. > :19:27.waving their way through a challenging economic landscape. It
:19:27. > :19:30.designs and markets home furnishings. The boss isn't
:19:30. > :19:35.convinced bit Chancellor's recovery plan. There's no confidence out
:19:35. > :19:40.there. Whilst we accept there has to be austerity measures and has to
:19:40. > :19:45.be cuts, you also have got to encourage growth. At the moment
:19:45. > :19:49.nothing the Government is doing is fuelling any growth. Mr Osborne
:19:49. > :19:53.says he is implementing an ambitious growth strategy. He also
:19:53. > :19:59.points out that Britain's grown faster this year than the US. Some,
:19:59. > :20:02.like this company, feel he needs to show he really means business.
:20:02. > :20:06.It's not just in Britain that MPs have been recalled. Some Italian
:20:06. > :20:10.politicians have had to break their holidays for an emergency session
:20:10. > :20:15.on the country's economic crisis. Worries over the size of Italy's
:20:15. > :20:24.debt have forced the government to speed up its austerity drive. Gavin
:20:24. > :20:29.Hewitt reports from Naples. Four markets, Italy is the big one,
:20:29. > :20:32.the financial eruption they fear. For this country is too big to be
:20:32. > :20:37.bailed out if it can't meet debt repayments. On the streets of
:20:37. > :20:46.Naples, everything is marked down. The problem for the government is
:20:46. > :20:50.that Italy's debt has reached �1.6 trillion. Today the Italian finance
:20:50. > :20:54.minister briefed MPs on possible measures to tackle the debt crisis.
:20:54. > :20:57.They included balancing the budget, making it ease tkwrorhoir and fire
:20:57. > :21:04.workers and even moving public holidays to Sunday to boost
:21:04. > :21:08.productivity. In all of this, where will the growth come from? Take
:21:09. > :21:18.this resort. It's a successful business, but the manager sums up
:21:19. > :21:19.
:21:19. > :21:23.his frustration in one word - buer Rossracy. -- ruer rockracy.
:21:23. > :21:28.Italy they have this thing where whatever they decide to do, they
:21:28. > :21:34.can never be fired. They can steal, go sick leave as long as they want.
:21:34. > :21:38.For ten years Italy's growth has been anaemic. Rosaria understands
:21:38. > :21:42.the lack of growth. She is part of the 60% of young people in Naples
:21:42. > :21:46.without work. TRANSLATION: I live with my mum and
:21:46. > :21:50.she's helping me. It's difficult because I'm 25. I'd like to have a
:21:50. > :21:56.family, but I can't because I haven't got a job. The problem for
:21:56. > :22:00.Italy is that all the signs point to an economy stagnating. So, the
:22:00. > :22:03.big fear remains that Italy won't grow fast enough to bring down its
:22:03. > :22:07.debts and certainly the markets fear that. For the moment, the
:22:07. > :22:13.European Central Bank is intervening, helping to drive down
:22:13. > :22:18.Italy's borrowing costs, but that can only be a short-term measure.
:22:18. > :22:23.There's a dilemma here and not just for Italy. Like other countries,
:22:23. > :22:30.it's planning to make big cuts. Yet at the same time, it needs its
:22:30. > :22:33.economy to grow to help reduce its debts.
:22:33. > :22:37.Cricket now and England are on course to claim the world number
:22:37. > :22:40.one ranking, after dominating the second day of the third Test
:22:40. > :22:46.against India at Edgbaston. The home side are building a commanding
:22:46. > :22:56.lead, helped by an unbeaten 182 from Alastair Cook. England ended
:22:56. > :23:01.
:23:01. > :23:07.the day 456 for three in reply to Sentri duty, on hand to advise,
:23:07. > :23:11.seeking seats, no problem. Who now can possibly come to the assistance
:23:11. > :23:16.of India? England's opening batsmen rediscovered their form against
:23:16. > :23:21.Indian bowling that was puppy dog, gentle and tame. Strauss and Cook
:23:21. > :23:25.took their partnership to 186. Strauss eventually seemed to
:23:25. > :23:30.confuse himself, losing his wicket to Mishra for 87. Cook pressed on.
:23:30. > :23:37.Is this a dive in the field or just a collapse? Four more said the
:23:37. > :23:43.score. India did get rid of Bell. That just brought in Pietersen.
:23:44. > :23:49.England's batting goes on and on these days. Pietersen went for 63,
:23:49. > :23:53.but Cook relentless, reached 150. England's lead already looks
:23:53. > :23:57.decisive and there are three days left in the Test. There's no way
:23:57. > :24:01.this game's won or close to being won. We've got to go out tomorrow
:24:01. > :24:06.and score a lot of runs. I don't think it's going to be batting last
:24:06. > :24:12.will be easy on this wicket. many more could England score? If
:24:12. > :24:16.the skies stay reasonably blue, the sky's the limit.
:24:16. > :24:19.Returning to our main story, and the aftermath of this week's riots.
:24:20. > :24:24.Fears over security have led to the postponement of the Premier League
:24:24. > :24:26.match between Tottenham and Everton. All other games will go ahead. But
:24:26. > :24:31.the Prime Minister says some matches may now be played earlier
:24:31. > :24:36.in the day to assist police. David Bond looks at what role
:24:36. > :24:40.football and footballers could play in rebuilding communities fractured
:24:40. > :24:44.by this week's events. The return of the self-proclaimed
:24:44. > :24:51.most exciting league in the world should have been a high point in an
:24:52. > :24:55.otherwise troubled English summer. Berbatov! Wonderful.
:24:55. > :24:59.Tottenham were due to kick off the season against Everton at their
:24:59. > :25:05.White Hart Lane ground, seen here in the distance. Instead, the
:25:05. > :25:08.violence that flared on the club's doorstep last weekend today forced
:25:08. > :25:13.the postponement of that match. The head of the Premier League says the
:25:13. > :25:16.other nine matches should go ahead. We want the matches on, not for
:25:17. > :25:20.selfish reasons, just because we're a part of the normal fabric of
:25:21. > :25:24.English life. We want normality to resume to our streets, that
:25:24. > :25:28.includes football. England's top players are often accused of
:25:28. > :25:32.setting the wrong sort of example. But with the friendly international
:25:32. > :25:38.against the Netherlands conseld due to the riots, some, at least, tried
:25:38. > :25:42.to reach out. Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney used their Twitter
:25:42. > :25:45.accounts to post messages appealing for calm.
:25:45. > :25:50.Many players, like the England captain, came from underprivileged
:25:50. > :25:55.backgrounds. He might be rich now, but he says it's important players
:25:55. > :25:59.don't forget where they came from. All we can do is collectively come
:25:59. > :26:03.together and send a message out that we urge for calm on the
:26:03. > :26:08.streets. They know that we've been in a very similar position to where
:26:08. > :26:12.they are. Football clubs now invest millions
:26:12. > :26:17.of pounds in community projects like this one, run by Arsenal in
:26:17. > :26:22.Islington in North London. But can multimillionaire players, playing
:26:22. > :26:26.at clubs which have become increasingly expensive to get into
:26:26. > :26:31.really make a difference to kids from deprived areas like these?
:26:31. > :26:35.They've got big cars, big houses and yeah, they're having a nice
:26:35. > :26:40.life. Some people don't even have a job, cars. They live in the streets.
:26:40. > :26:44.What did you think about it when you were watching it on television?
:26:44. > :26:49.I thought two years ago, maybe, but now I'm doing this and that, no.
:26:49. > :26:52.Too much to lose. Superstars like Rooney have turned the Premier
:26:52. > :26:57.League into one of the richest and biggest sporting brands in the
:26:57. > :27:03.world. The last week has shown that even football cannot forget its
