:02:21. > :02:25.intervention of politicians that proved decisive in their handling
:02:25. > :02:29.of the riots. After criticism of their tactics from the Prime
:02:29. > :02:31.Minister, senior officers said they faced a unique situation and that
:02:31. > :02:37.they alone have been responsible for the shift to more robust
:02:37. > :02:42.policing. Nearly a week after the violence began, our home editor
:02:42. > :02:46.explores the political and police response to the riots. A week after
:02:46. > :02:50.the riots began, senior police officers and government politicians
:02:51. > :02:55.have indulged in a public row, as each seeks to avoid any blame for
:02:55. > :02:59.the lawlessness. Emerging from the latest meeting at the emergency
:02:59. > :03:01.planning committee COBRA, the acting head of Scotland Yard made a
:03:01. > :03:06.clearly barbed remark at criticism of the police operation by
:03:06. > :03:09.ministers who were still on holiday at the time. After any event like
:03:09. > :03:14.this there are always people that will make comments that weren't
:03:14. > :03:18.there. If police officers at the Venice -- benefit of hindsight and
:03:18. > :03:22.foresight, we would obviously do things very differently. It's clear
:03:22. > :03:25.many senior officers are furious at suggestions police only got their
:03:25. > :03:29.act together when politicians banged the table. The vital
:03:29. > :03:33.distinction between policing and politics remains. The police
:03:33. > :03:38.service will make a tactical decisions and, quite rightly and
:03:38. > :03:42.robust become we should be held to account. Yesterday, government
:03:42. > :03:47.ministers accused police of putting too few officers on the streets,
:03:47. > :03:50.being too slow to respond and too timid in dealing with the looters.
:03:50. > :03:54.Today the Home Secretary had nothing but praise for the police
:03:54. > :03:58.response. What I accept was that people who got the riots under
:03:58. > :04:03.control were the brave police men and women who were out there on the
:04:03. > :04:08.frontline, dealing with the riots as they were happening.
:04:08. > :04:12.troubling side of law and order this week means that all
:04:12. > :04:15.politicians and police alike, the stakes in is that they remain very
:04:15. > :04:19.height. The politics of the riots is shifting from condemnation and
:04:19. > :04:25.measures to restore public order and confidence to broader questions
:04:25. > :04:28.about our culture, society and our values. The leaders of the three
:04:28. > :04:32.main political parties in England were all talking about learning the
:04:32. > :04:36.lessons of the riots today. In the early hours of Monday, police in
:04:36. > :04:40.Brixton were pursuing looters. Today, Labour's leader found
:04:40. > :04:44.himself pursued by his own angry supporters. These people have
:04:44. > :04:49.nothing to lose. They have no stake in society and no social mobility
:04:49. > :04:53.at all. We desperately need the Labour party... The criticism is
:04:53. > :05:00.that politicians have been too quick to condemn and too slow to
:05:00. > :05:04.understand. Are they not social reasons for this? Of course there
:05:04. > :05:09.are. Shouldn't we be discussing those instead of just discussing
:05:09. > :05:13.criminality? No, the first priority was to restore public order and to
:05:13. > :05:16.make sure that we would never excuse what happened. But excusing
:05:16. > :05:21.is not the same as explaining. And now we are into the phase where
:05:21. > :05:24.we've got to try and explain what happened. On Tuesday, a police
:05:24. > :05:28.station in Nottingham was firebombed. Today the Lib Dem
:05:28. > :05:33.leader paid a visit and suggested that the event post important
:05:33. > :05:38.questions for all of us. We have to ask ourselves why and 11 you macro
:05:38. > :05:43.girl and Boycie feel they have so little stake in their own community,
:05:43. > :05:47.so little sense of belonging that they go around trashing it. Central
:05:47. > :05:50.Manchester was the scene of widespread looting on Tuesday night.
:05:50. > :05:55.Today the Prime Minister was in the city to meet emergency services,
:05:55. > :05:59.before appearing on the BBC. David Cameron was asked whether there was
:05:59. > :06:03.a difference between the attitude of greedy looters and greedy
:06:03. > :06:07.bankers and greedy MPs. People who cheat in banking, they should be
:06:07. > :06:12.punished. MPs who cheat on their expenses should be punished. There
:06:12. > :06:16.are MPs in prison today. We need responsibility right through our
:06:16. > :06:21.country, that's the most important word in politics. But it can't be
:06:22. > :06:25.used as an excuse. The huge extra police presence will remain this
:06:26. > :06:33.weekend. No one dare suggest this crisis can be described as over. In
:06:33. > :06:37.many ways, the questions are just beginning. 1600 people have been
:06:37. > :06:41.arrested so far over the riots, and nearly 800 have appeared before the
:06:41. > :06:46.courts. Among those facing justice today were a 13-year-old boy caught
:06:46. > :06:54.carrying a hammer. Chris Butler has been looking at how the offenders
:06:54. > :06:58.are being handled. 13 years old and found in a riot with a hammer
:06:58. > :07:04.strapped to his leg. This teenager was given a nine-month referral
:07:04. > :07:09.order today. His age means we can't identify him or his mother. I was
:07:09. > :07:15.sat at home. Did you know he was out on the street? No, I didn't.
:07:15. > :07:19.The you know he was carrying a hammer? No. He was just one of the
:07:19. > :07:22.hundreds who have already been held responsible of the havoc of the
:07:22. > :07:28.last week. There are still people waiting to be tried, like another
:07:28. > :07:32.teenager who is accused of starting the fire that left this Manchester
:07:32. > :07:35.store little more than a shell. Many have been jailed, like a man
:07:35. > :07:39.who led this disorder in Salford because he heard the Manchester
:07:39. > :07:43.riots were better. In that city centre are the faces of others
:07:43. > :07:49.suspected of causing that chaos. The police asking for people to
:07:49. > :07:54.shop those who destroyed its stores. In the last 24 hours, two mothers
:07:54. > :07:57.have handed in a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old boy. Their sons. They
:07:57. > :08:01.had a them in before -- because they saw their picture in the
:08:01. > :08:04.newspaper. But in an estate just minutes from where some of this
:08:04. > :08:08.week's violence took place, there are people prepared to admit that
:08:08. > :08:12.they could have got caught up in the looting. If I'd have seen
:08:12. > :08:18.something on the floor I would have taken it home. Is that not wrong?
:08:18. > :08:22.Of course it is but that's what I mean. If it was a mobile phone and
:08:22. > :08:26.it had loads of pictures in it, I would have wanted to give it back.
:08:26. > :08:31.But if it was something that was mass produced and just there on the
:08:31. > :08:34.floor, I would have taken it home. In Salford, most shops are open
:08:34. > :08:38.again but the destruction was the last thing it needed. Jobs are hard
:08:38. > :08:43.to come by, youth unemployment is high and Child poverty and crime
:08:43. > :08:48.are both genuine problems. People have got no money. People are going
:08:48. > :08:52.to do things like that, it's opportunism. In cities across this
:08:52. > :08:57.country the government has promised swift justice. Many are anything
:08:57. > :09:01.but sympathetic to the rioters. However, there is a fear of being
:09:01. > :09:04.seen to talk to the police. They've been brought up to think there's no
:09:04. > :09:08.worse crime than crossing. It doesn't matter what you do, you do
:09:08. > :09:13.not grass on anyone. Do you not think it's important that people do
:09:13. > :09:17.give information? Of course I do. Excuse me, I went to court and
:09:17. > :09:22.suffered for a long time because of it. I couldn't walk past anyone in
:09:22. > :09:27.the street without being his staff and spat at. The public mood is
:09:27. > :09:32.clear. There is a desire to see people punished. Today the prison
:09:32. > :09:35.population in England and Wales hit an all-time high. But Leroy Grant,
:09:35. > :09:40.who spent 10 years in jail for armed robbery, questions whether
:09:40. > :09:42.that will help prevent further crime. They've given up sentences
:09:42. > :09:47.of four to six months. It's farcical because what's going to
:09:47. > :09:50.happen now, in four weeks' time those people will be out on to have
:09:50. > :09:54.any weight. There's no point sending them to prison. But you
:09:54. > :10:00.were in prison at one stage. I've been in some tough jails. It that
:10:00. > :10:03.not deter you? If anything it made me worse. However, if the police
:10:03. > :10:11.appeals are successful, those who already appeared in court will be
:10:11. > :10:15.joined by many others in be named and shamed. As a result of the
:10:15. > :10:18.court cases, some families may now find themselves evicted from their
:10:18. > :10:23.council homes. Tonight, one council in south London has begun
:10:23. > :10:26.proceedings against a family. Ian Watson is at Downing Street now. I
:10:26. > :10:30.suppose this is in line with the tough talk we heard from David
:10:30. > :10:35.Cameron earlier. Yes, we've heard tough talk from the Prime Minister
:10:35. > :10:40.all this week. Now some councils are taking him at his word. They
:10:40. > :10:43.are saying, look, if you are writing, you are no longer simply a
:10:44. > :10:49.using your liberty, you could lose your permanent home as well.
:10:49. > :10:54.Wandsworth council believe that the first local authority in the
:10:54. > :10:58.country to try to depict a rioter. A rioter and his mother. That is
:10:58. > :11:03.simply because it's the mother's name which is on the tenancy
:11:03. > :11:06.agreement, not just the person who himself has been charged with
:11:06. > :11:11.polluting a shop in Clapham Junction, so therefore, if she is
:11:11. > :11:14.evicted, he is evicted as well. Ultimately, the decision will be
:11:14. > :11:18.taken by a court and not by councils. This approach has been
:11:18. > :11:22.condemned by the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, who says that the whole
:11:22. > :11:26.priority now should be on top sentencing, not on the victims. He
:11:26. > :11:29.believes that David Cameron has got his priorities wrong. Even though
:11:29. > :11:32.the Prime Minister is praising Labour councils such as Manchester
:11:32. > :11:36.and Salford for considering doing exactly the same thing as
:11:36. > :11:39.Wandsworth council. We could see more depictions tonight. But even
:11:39. > :11:43.the Liberal Democrats within the coalition fear that some of this
:11:43. > :11:47.tough rhetoric will look like a knee-jerk reaction and a gimmick.
:11:47. > :11:51.man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a 68-
:11:51. > :11:56.year-old pensioner badly injured in rioting in west London on Monday
:11:56. > :12:03.night. Richard Bowes was attacked as he tried to stamp out a fire.
:12:03. > :12:06.June Kelly reports on the latest death in the riots. The heart of a
:12:06. > :12:11.suburban shopping centre is now a place where people are coming to
:12:11. > :12:17.remember a life lost. It was at the start of the week the attack took
:12:17. > :12:21.place in Ealing, west London. Today it became a murder enquiry. Richard
:12:21. > :12:25.Bowes was 68. He'd lost touch with his family and it was only
:12:25. > :12:30.yesterday that he was finally identified. He was said to have
:12:30. > :12:36.been set upon as he remonstrated with rioters who had set fire to a
:12:36. > :12:40.large bin. As he tried to put the fire out he was attacked. His leg
:12:40. > :12:43.was lying very close to the fire. I got the young lads to help me move
:12:44. > :12:48.him into this Ali weight, so it used to his torso and head was
:12:48. > :12:52.protected. Because on the left here were the rioting youths, and they
:12:52. > :12:56.were throwing stones down the road towards the police on the right. He
:12:56. > :13:00.was in a vulnerable position. is the flat where Richard Bowes
:13:00. > :13:04.lived. It's just a short distance from where he was attacked. He was
:13:04. > :13:08.known as someone who would confront people if they were behaving in an
:13:08. > :13:12.antisocial way. He may have been a quiet man but he thought that
:13:12. > :13:16.wrongdoers needed to be challenged. In the neighbourhood nobody knew
:13:16. > :13:21.him well, he was seen as a solitary figure. But he was a familiar face
:13:21. > :13:26.to local business people. It's just a really awful thing that somebody
:13:26. > :13:32.who was just a very quiet and a gentle kind of guy, obviously was
:13:32. > :13:38.trying to help put out the fires. He was quietly dignified. He
:13:38. > :13:43.reminded me of a bygone age when people said please and thank you
:13:43. > :13:47.and were courteous to each other. He always symbolised that
:13:47. > :13:52.generation to me, which seems to be lost for the time being. At Ealing
:13:53. > :13:57.Town Hall the flag has been at half mast as a mark of respect. One man
:13:57. > :14:04.is currently under arrest. Police are appealing to anyone who can
:14:04. > :14:07.The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints
:14:07. > :14:10.Commission, has admitted tonight it may have misled journalists into
:14:10. > :14:16.believing that the man who was shot dead by police last Thursday fired
:14:16. > :14:22.back at the officers. Mark Duggan, who was 29, was shot in Tottenham.
:14:22. > :14:25.His death sparked the initial riots in London last weekend. Our
:14:25. > :14:35.correspondent Jon Brain is in Tottenham tonight where a vigil is
:14:35. > :14:35.
:14:36. > :14:39.being held in memory of Mr Duggan. In the immediate aftermath of the
:14:39. > :14:43.shooting, the IPCC were criticised for allegedly not giving enough
:14:43. > :14:46.information and not quickly enough. They are now admitting the
:14:47. > :14:52.information they did give may have misled journalists and ultimately
:14:52. > :14:56.the family. The police fired two shots at Mark Duggan, one hit him
:14:56. > :15:01.in the chest and killed him, the other went through his arm and was
:15:01. > :15:05.lodged in a police radio. Because of that, the IPCC said they
:15:05. > :15:08.believed they had been an exchange of shots and Mark Duggan had used
:15:09. > :15:13.his gun. Tonight they have apologised for giving potentially
:15:13. > :15:17.inaccurate information. It was the controversy over the shooting that
:15:17. > :15:22.led to the protests here and ultimately this sort of devastation.
:15:22. > :15:25.Tonight Mark Duggan's family are among 500 people at a gathering to
:15:26. > :15:31.remember him. Their message is they condemn the violence, but they
:15:31. > :15:34.still want justice for their son. The day's other news and there are
:15:34. > :15:37.fresh concerns about the health of one of Europe's biggest economies
:15:37. > :15:40.tonight after growth in France ground to a halt. The figures put
:15:40. > :15:43.more pressure on the French government to tackle its budget
:15:43. > :15:46.deficit. The news came as shares recovered some of the ground lost
:15:46. > :15:56.in a turbulent fortnight on the markets. Here's our chief economics

:16:00. > :16:03.have not gone away, not least for France, which has been in the eye
:16:03. > :16:08.of the storm this week. There was no growth in the second quarter,

:16:14. > :16:20.saved a little bit. Looking at the stock markets, it is really

:16:24. > :16:28.Sarkozy. He had to break his holiday this week to hold an
:16:28. > :16:31.emergency cabinet meeting and press for faster deficit-reduction, but
:16:31. > :16:36.slow growth will hit tax revenues. Some investors are concerned about
:16:36. > :16:43.French government debt and questioning its AAA rating. Debt is
:16:43. > :16:48.82% of annual economic output, head of the UK's, around 80%, Spain's
:16:48. > :16:55.debt is 60% of annual output. The French finance -- Finance Minister
:16:55. > :16:59.said there was no cause for concern. TRANSLATION: I am not stressed. Not
:16:59. > :17:03.for a second. I am very confident because we have strong basics in
:17:04. > :17:09.our economy. But there have been worries about the health of French
:17:10. > :17:13.banks after their shares plummeted. Regulators have banned a practice
:17:13. > :17:18.known as short-selling to try to stock speculators making money out
:17:18. > :17:22.of falling bank shares. French banks are big and they have a lot
:17:22. > :17:29.of exposure to countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and
:17:29. > :17:34.Spain and Italy. They have been under the microscope recently.
:17:34. > :17:37.the UK the government argues it has a credible deficit reduction plan,
:17:37. > :17:41.which investors support, and British growth was stronger in the
:17:41. > :17:45.second quarter than France's. But events on the financial markets
:17:45. > :17:48.over the last fortnight demonstrate that the UK is as vulnerable as
:17:48. > :17:54.that the UK is as vulnerable as anyone to a global slowdown. A
:17:54. > :18:01.fortnight ago today, the FTSE 100 index was at around 5,800. Tonight
:18:01. > :18:03.it closed just above 5,300. Upon the day but still a fall of 8.5%
:18:04. > :18:11.over two weeks. That means a total over two weeks. That means a total
:18:11. > :18:15.loss on paper of �132 billion. Despite protests, the Italian
:18:15. > :18:19.government has denied approved more spending cuts and tax rises. We
:18:19. > :18:24.will have to wait until next week to see how the financial markets

:18:31. > :18:34.The struggle to rebuild lives in the aftermath of the riots.
:18:34. > :18:39.It is not about the furniture or the refrigerator or something like

:18:52. > :18:55.with 30 separate pieces of shrapnel lodged in her body. When we first
:18:55. > :18:57.reported her story in Misrata, six- year-old Arwa was one of thousands
:18:57. > :19:05.of casualties of the fighting between Colonel Gaddafi's forces
:19:05. > :19:15.and Libyan rebels. Now, Orla Guerin has returned to Misrata to find

:19:25. > :19:31.Arwa. Her report contains This is Arwa as we last saw her in
:19:31. > :19:41.April. A child of Misrata and a victim of the regime, lacerated by
:19:41. > :19:46.
:19:46. > :19:52.And this is Arwa today. How are you? Back home and back to normal,
:19:52. > :19:59.her family say. But there are reminders all-around of the Grad
:19:59. > :20:05.rocket that landed on her doorstep and ruptured her childhood. Arwa
:20:05. > :20:10.will carry her scars for life. Her grandfather says she has managed to
:20:10. > :20:19.forget her injuries, but when she hears explosions in the distance,

:21:19. > :21:23.on the Milly Dowler murder investigation gave information to

:21:41. > :21:44.today Alastair Cook rewrote the record books once again. He hit 294
:21:44. > :21:50.in the third Test against India at Edgbaston, where England declared
:21:50. > :22:00.on a mammoth 710-7. India closed on 35-1. Our sports correspondent Joe
:22:00. > :22:00.
:22:00. > :22:06.India's players arrived at Edgbaston fully expecting a
:22:06. > :22:09.challenging day. They were crushed. Powerless to resist the man who
:22:09. > :22:15.would back to eternity providing someone would bowl at him. Alastair
:22:15. > :22:19.Cook. He collects runs calmly, with touch and timing, energy preserving.
:22:19. > :22:24.Massive scores depend on skill and stamina. Watch him sprinting like a
:22:25. > :22:29.man at the start of his innings as he took his score to 200. An
:22:29. > :22:34.outstanding individual in a world leading team. As England's total
:22:34. > :22:38.headed to 600, the scoreboard couldn't cope. A Power overload put
:22:38. > :22:42.paid to the floodlights. It was too dark to continue for a while. The
:22:42. > :22:47.happiest India looked all day! But normal service quickly resumed.
:22:47. > :22:52.Eoin Morgan's turn to complete the century. His contribution

:23:08. > :23:13.he used to do this kind of thing. After tea, a shock. He made a
:23:13. > :23:19.mistake and India held a catch. By then England had reached 710, their
:23:19. > :23:23.biggest-ever total in a five-day Test. Alastair Cook's 294 was the
:23:23. > :23:26.highest score by anyone at Edgbaston. It is mad how you can
:23:26. > :23:32.still be disappointed when you have scored 290. Only cricket can do
:23:32. > :23:35.that to you. A tinge of disappointment, but if I am being
:23:35. > :23:39.realistic, I am absolutely thrilled that I managed to put a really big
:23:39. > :23:44.score together. All that remains for England is to complete victory,

:23:50. > :23:53.place in parts of England this week. The scenes of looting and public
:23:53. > :23:56.disorder have sparked a major debate on the challenges facing our
:23:56. > :23:58.society. But for many, those who've lost homes or businesses, there are
:23:58. > :24:01.more immediate concerns. Our special correspondent Allan Little

:24:43. > :24:47.furniture, it is not about the refrigerator or something like that.
:24:47. > :24:52.It is about your memories and the things you have been saving from
:24:52. > :24:58.your childhood. The gifts you get from your mother, to keep forever,
:24:58. > :25:04.or the gift you get from your husband when you first met.
:25:04. > :25:10.Tottenham High Road is a battered mess. But the clear-up has begun.
:25:10. > :25:13.Everywhere the waste is evident and appalling. A safe is all that is
:25:13. > :25:17.left of what was once a jeweller's shop. It is clear from the accounts
:25:17. > :25:21.that have emerged this week that many people were shocked first of
:25:21. > :25:26.all by the violence, but also by the spirit of malice which appeared
:25:26. > :25:30.to accompany it, the gratuitous vindictiveness of many of the
:25:30. > :25:36.rioters, we seemed to take real pleasure in their own
:25:36. > :25:41.destructiveness. That has been profoundly unsettling. Onelia

:25:54. > :26:00.child. Having to run for your life, not knowing what is happening to
:26:00. > :26:03.your property. I spent all night not being able to sleep. More than
