A scale of criminality not seen for decades. The Prime Minister's words | :00:11. | :00:16. | |
as Parliament is recalled for an emergency session on the riots. | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
A pledge to hundred down the rioters one by one. David Cameron | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
says they will face the law whatever it takes. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
We will track you down, we will find you, we will charge you, we | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
will punish you. You will pay for what you have done. Today as the | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
House of Commons we stand shoulder to shoulder, united against the | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
vandalism and the violence we have seen on the streets. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
The days when rioters claimed the streets. There is criticism of the | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
police tactics when the trouble started. A 12-year-old boy is | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
sentenced in Manchester. Half of those appearing in the London | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
courts are under 18. The malaisian student robbed while he was hurt | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
and helpless speaks for the first time about his attackers. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
I felt sorry for them, but it was really sad, amongst them there were | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
children. It was very sad. | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
We return to Tottenham where it all began. Also tonight: George Osborne | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
says that the recovery will take longer than he hoped. He warns the | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
global economy is facing its toughest test for three years. | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
Batting their way to the top spot in Test cricket, England dominate | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
India at Edgbaston. I'm here with Sports Day later in | :01:38. | :01:43. | |

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