The police hit back at suggestions that politicians made the key

:00:07.:00:11.

decisions that brought the riots and a control. After criticism at

:00:11.:00:15.

Westminster of their tactics, senior officers insist that they

:00:15.:00:19.

were in the lead. The vital distinction between policing and

:00:19.:00:24.

politics remains. The police service will make the tactical

:00:24.:00:28.

decisions and, quite rightly and robust the, we must and should be

:00:28.:00:32.

held to account. Clearly, we needed to act this week to get control of

:00:32.:00:37.

the streets, to get them back for the law abiding. The police did

:00:37.:00:41.

that and increased police numbers. That was the right thing to do.

:00:41.:00:45.

did you have a hammer wrapped around your leg? 800 people have

:00:45.:00:50.

now appeared in court over the riots. The latest including this

:00:50.:00:54.

13-year-old boy. Naming and shaming. Police say their appeals to the

:00:55.:01:00.

public to track down those involved are working. In the last 24 hours,

:01:00.:01:04.

two mothers have handed in a 15- year-old and 13-year-old boy. Their

:01:04.:01:08.

sons. They can do them into the police because they saw their

:01:08.:01:12.

pictures in the newspaper. We'll be looking at one council's attempt to

:01:12.:01:18.

depict the family of a suspect. A rally on the financial markets.

Zero growth in France brings new fears about its economy. The child

victims of the Libyan conflict. We returned to Misrata to see how this

six-year-old injured in the fighting is recovering. And

with Sportsday later on the BBC News channel, with the latest from

the US PGA Championship in Atlanta, where Rory McIlroy may struggle to

:01:54.:02:04.
:02:04.:02:18.

Police officers have dismissed suggestions that it was the

:02:18.:02:21.

intervention of politicians that proved decisive in their handling

:02:21.:02:25.

of the riots. After criticism of their tactics from the Prime

:02:25.:02:29.

Minister, senior officers said they faced a unique situation and that

:02:29.:02:31.

they alone have been responsible for the shift to more robust

:02:31.:02:37.

policing. Nearly a week after the violence began, our home editor

:02:37.:02:42.

explores the political and police response to the riots. A week after

:02:42.:02:46.

the riots began, senior police officers and government politicians

:02:46.:02:50.

have indulged in a public row, as each seeks to avoid any blame for

:02:51.:02:55.

the lawlessness. Emerging from the latest meeting at the emergency

:02:55.:02:59.

planning committee COBRA, the acting head of Scotland Yard made a

:02:59.:03:01.

clearly barbed remark at criticism of the police operation by

:03:01.:03:06.

ministers who were still on holiday at the time. After any event like

:03:06.:03:09.

this there are always people that will make comments that weren't

:03:09.:03:14.

there. If police officers at the Venice -- benefit of hindsight and

:03:14.:03:18.

foresight, we would obviously do things very differently. It's clear

:03:18.:03:22.

many senior officers are furious at suggestions police only got their

:03:22.:03:25.

act together when politicians banged the table. The vital

:03:25.:03:29.

distinction between policing and politics remains. The police

:03:29.:03:33.

service will make a tactical decisions and, quite rightly and

:03:33.:03:38.

robust become we should be held to account. Yesterday, government

:03:38.:03:42.

ministers accused police of putting too few officers on the streets,

:03:42.:03:47.

being too slow to respond and too timid in dealing with the looters.

:03:47.:03:50.

Today the Home Secretary had nothing but praise for the police

:03:50.:03:54.

response. What I accept was that people who got the riots under

:03:54.:03:58.

control were the brave police men and women who were out there on the

:03:58.:04:03.

frontline, dealing with the riots as they were happening.

:04:03.:04:08.

troubling side of law and order this week means that all

:04:08.:04:12.

politicians and police alike, the stakes in is that they remain very

:04:12.:04:15.

height. The politics of the riots is shifting from condemnation and

:04:15.:04:19.

measures to restore public order and confidence to broader questions

:04:19.:04:25.

about our culture, society and our values. The leaders of the three

:04:25.:04:28.

main political parties in England were all talking about learning the

:04:28.:04:32.

lessons of the riots today. In the early hours of Monday, police in

:04:32.:04:36.

Brixton were pursuing looters. Today, Labour's leader found

:04:36.:04:40.

himself pursued by his own angry supporters. These people have

:04:40.:04:44.

nothing to lose. They have no stake in society and no social mobility

:04:44.:04:49.

at all. We desperately need the Labour party... The criticism is

:04:49.:04:53.

that politicians have been too quick to condemn and too slow to

:04:53.:05:00.

understand. Are they not social reasons for this? Of course there

:05:00.:05:04.

are. Shouldn't we be discussing those instead of just discussing

:05:04.:05:09.

criminality? No, the first priority was to restore public order and to

:05:09.:05:13.

make sure that we would never excuse what happened. But excusing

:05:13.:05:16.

is not the same as explaining. And now we are into the phase where

:05:16.:05:21.

we've got to try and explain what happened. On Tuesday, a police

:05:21.:05:24.

station in Nottingham was firebombed. Today the Lib Dem

:05:24.:05:28.

leader paid a visit and suggested that the event post important

:05:28.:05:33.

questions for all of us. We have to ask ourselves why and 11 you macro

:05:33.:05:38.

girl and Boycie feel they have so little stake in their own community,

:05:38.:05:43.

so little sense of belonging that they go around trashing it. Central

:05:43.:05:47.

Manchester was the scene of widespread looting on Tuesday night.

:05:47.:05:50.

Today the Prime Minister was in the city to meet emergency services,

:05:50.:05:55.

before appearing on the BBC. David Cameron was asked whether there was

:05:55.:05:59.

a difference between the attitude of greedy looters and greedy

:05:59.:06:03.

bankers and greedy MPs. People who cheat in banking, they should be

:06:03.:06:07.

punished. MPs who cheat on their expenses should be punished. There

:06:07.:06:12.

are MPs in prison today. We need responsibility right through our

:06:12.:06:16.

country, that's the most important word in politics. But it can't be

:06:16.:06:21.

used as an excuse. The huge extra police presence will remain this

:06:22.:06:25.

weekend. No one dare suggest this crisis can be described as over. In

:06:26.:06:33.

many ways, the questions are just beginning. 1600 people have been

:06:33.:06:37.

arrested so far over the riots, and nearly 800 have appeared before the

:06:37.:06:41.

courts. Among those facing justice today were a 13-year-old boy caught

:06:41.:06:46.

carrying a hammer. Chris Butler has been looking at how the offenders

:06:46.:06:54.

are being handled. 13 years old and found in a riot with a hammer

:06:54.:06:58.

strapped to his leg. This teenager was given a nine-month referral

:06:58.:07:04.

order today. His age means we can't identify him or his mother. I was

:07:04.:07:09.

sat at home. Did you know he was out on the street? No, I didn't.

:07:09.:07:15.

The you know he was carrying a hammer? No. He was just one of the

:07:15.:07:19.

hundreds who have already been held responsible of the havoc of the

:07:19.:07:22.

last week. There are still people waiting to be tried, like another

:07:22.:07:28.

teenager who is accused of starting the fire that left this Manchester

:07:28.:07:32.

store little more than a shell. Many have been jailed, like a man

:07:32.:07:35.

who led this disorder in Salford because he heard the Manchester

:07:35.:07:39.

riots were better. In that city centre are the faces of others

:07:39.:07:43.

suspected of causing that chaos. The police asking for people to

:07:43.:07:49.

shop those who destroyed its stores. In the last 24 hours, two mothers

:07:49.:07:54.

have handed in a 15-year-old and a 13-year-old boy. Their sons. They

:07:54.:07:57.

had a them in before -- because they saw their picture in the

:07:57.:08:01.

newspaper. But in an estate just minutes from where some of this

:08:01.:08:04.

week's violence took place, there are people prepared to admit that

:08:04.:08:08.

they could have got caught up in the looting. If I'd have seen

:08:08.:08:12.

something on the floor I would have taken it home. Is that not wrong?

:08:12.:08:18.

Of course it is but that's what I mean. If it was a mobile phone and

:08:18.:08:22.

it had loads of pictures in it, I would have wanted to give it back.

:08:22.:08:26.

But if it was something that was mass produced and just there on the

:08:26.:08:31.

floor, I would have taken it home. In Salford, most shops are open

:08:31.:08:34.

again but the destruction was the last thing it needed. Jobs are hard

:08:34.:08:38.

to come by, youth unemployment is high and Child poverty and crime

:08:38.:08:43.

are both genuine problems. People have got no money. People are going

:08:43.:08:48.

to do things like that, it's opportunism. In cities across this

:08:48.:08:52.

country the government has promised swift justice. Many are anything

:08:52.:08:57.

but sympathetic to the rioters. However, there is a fear of being

:08:57.:09:01.

seen to talk to the police. They've been brought up to think there's no

:09:01.:09:04.

worse crime than crossing. It doesn't matter what you do, you do

:09:04.:09:08.

not grass on anyone. Do you not think it's important that people do

:09:08.:09:13.

give information? Of course I do. Excuse me, I went to court and

:09:13.:09:17.

suffered for a long time because of it. I couldn't walk past anyone in

:09:17.:09:22.

the street without being his staff and spat at. The public mood is

:09:22.:09:27.

clear. There is a desire to see people punished. Today the prison

:09:27.:09:32.

population in England and Wales hit an all-time high. But Leroy Grant,

:09:32.:09:35.

who spent 10 years in jail for armed robbery, questions whether

:09:35.:09:40.

that will help prevent further crime. They've given up sentences

:09:40.:09:42.

of four to six months. It's farcical because what's going to

:09:42.:09:47.

happen now, in four weeks' time those people will be out on to have

:09:47.:09:50.

any weight. There's no point sending them to prison. But you

:09:50.:09:54.

were in prison at one stage. I've been in some tough jails. It that

:09:54.:10:00.

not deter you? If anything it made me worse. However, if the police

:10:00.:10:03.

appeals are successful, those who already appeared in court will be

:10:03.:10:11.

joined by many others in be named and shamed. As a result of the

:10:11.:10:15.

court cases, some families may now find themselves evicted from their

:10:15.:10:18.

council homes. Tonight, one council in south London has begun

:10:18.:10:23.

proceedings against a family. Ian Watson is at Downing Street now. I

:10:23.:10:26.

suppose this is in line with the tough talk we heard from David

:10:26.:10:30.

Cameron earlier. Yes, we've heard tough talk from the Prime Minister

:10:30.:10:35.

all this week. Now some councils are taking him at his word. They

:10:35.:10:40.

are saying, look, if you are writing, you are no longer simply a

:10:40.:10:43.

using your liberty, you could lose your permanent home as well.

:10:44.:10:49.

Wandsworth council believe that the first local authority in the

:10:49.:10:54.

country to try to depict a rioter. A rioter and his mother. That is

:10:54.:10:58.

simply because it's the mother's name which is on the tenancy

:10:58.:11:03.

agreement, not just the person who himself has been charged with

:11:03.:11:06.

polluting a shop in Clapham Junction, so therefore, if she is

:11:06.:11:11.

evicted, he is evicted as well. Ultimately, the decision will be

:11:11.:11:14.

taken by a court and not by councils. This approach has been

:11:14.:11:18.

condemned by the Labour leader, Ed Miliband, who says that the whole

:11:18.:11:22.

priority now should be on top sentencing, not on the victims. He

:11:22.:11:26.

believes that David Cameron has got his priorities wrong. Even though

:11:26.:11:29.

the Prime Minister is praising Labour councils such as Manchester

:11:29.:11:32.

and Salford for considering doing exactly the same thing as

:11:32.:11:36.

Wandsworth council. We could see more depictions tonight. But even

:11:36.:11:39.

the Liberal Democrats within the coalition fear that some of this

:11:39.:11:43.

tough rhetoric will look like a knee-jerk reaction and a gimmick.

:11:43.:11:47.

man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of a 68-

:11:47.:11:51.

year-old pensioner badly injured in rioting in west London on Monday

:11:51.:11:56.

night. Richard Bowes was attacked as he tried to stamp out a fire.

:11:56.:12:03.

June Kelly reports on the latest death in the riots. The heart of a

:12:03.:12:06.

suburban shopping centre is now a place where people are coming to

:12:06.:12:11.

remember a life lost. It was at the start of the week the attack took

:12:11.:12:17.

place in Ealing, west London. Today it became a murder enquiry. Richard

:12:17.:12:21.

Bowes was 68. He'd lost touch with his family and it was only

:12:21.:12:25.

yesterday that he was finally identified. He was said to have

:12:25.:12:30.

been set upon as he remonstrated with rioters who had set fire to a

:12:30.:12:36.

large bin. As he tried to put the fire out he was attacked. His leg

:12:36.:12:40.

was lying very close to the fire. I got the young lads to help me move

:12:40.:12:43.

him into this Ali weight, so it used to his torso and head was

:12:44.:12:48.

protected. Because on the left here were the rioting youths, and they

:12:48.:12:52.

were throwing stones down the road towards the police on the right. He

:12:52.:12:56.

was in a vulnerable position. is the flat where Richard Bowes

:12:56.:13:00.

lived. It's just a short distance from where he was attacked. He was

:13:00.:13:04.

known as someone who would confront people if they were behaving in an

:13:04.:13:08.

antisocial way. He may have been a quiet man but he thought that

:13:08.:13:12.

wrongdoers needed to be challenged. In the neighbourhood nobody knew

:13:12.:13:16.

him well, he was seen as a solitary figure. But he was a familiar face

:13:16.:13:21.

to local business people. It's just a really awful thing that somebody

:13:21.:13:26.

who was just a very quiet and a gentle kind of guy, obviously was

:13:26.:13:32.

trying to help put out the fires. He was quietly dignified. He

:13:32.:13:38.

reminded me of a bygone age when people said please and thank you

:13:38.:13:43.

and were courteous to each other. He always symbolised that

:13:43.:13:47.

generation to me, which seems to be lost for the time being. At Ealing

:13:47.:13:52.

Town Hall the flag has been at half mast as a mark of respect. One man

:13:53.:13:57.

is currently under arrest. Police are appealing to anyone who can

:13:57.:14:04.

The police watchdog, the Independent Police Complaints

:14:04.:14:07.

Commission, has admitted tonight it may have misled journalists into

:14:07.:14:10.

believing that the man who was shot dead by police last Thursday fired

:14:10.:14:16.

back at the officers. Mark Duggan, who was 29, was shot in Tottenham.

:14:16.:14:22.

His death sparked the initial riots in London last weekend. Our

:14:22.:14:25.

correspondent Jon Brain is in Tottenham tonight where a vigil is

:14:25.:14:35.
:14:35.:14:35.

being held in memory of Mr Duggan. In the immediate aftermath of the

:14:36.:14:39.

shooting, the IPCC were criticised for allegedly not giving enough

:14:39.:14:43.

information and not quickly enough. They are now admitting the

:14:43.:14:46.

information they did give may have misled journalists and ultimately

:14:47.:14:52.

the family. The police fired two shots at Mark Duggan, one hit him

:14:52.:14:56.

in the chest and killed him, the other went through his arm and was

:14:56.:15:01.

lodged in a police radio. Because of that, the IPCC said they

:15:01.:15:05.

believed they had been an exchange of shots and Mark Duggan had used

:15:05.:15:08.

his gun. Tonight they have apologised for giving potentially

:15:09.:15:13.

inaccurate information. It was the controversy over the shooting that

:15:13.:15:17.

led to the protests here and ultimately this sort of devastation.

:15:17.:15:22.

Tonight Mark Duggan's family are among 500 people at a gathering to

:15:22.:15:25.

remember him. Their message is they condemn the violence, but they

:15:26.:15:31.

still want justice for their son. The day's other news and there are

:15:31.:15:34.

fresh concerns about the health of one of Europe's biggest economies

:15:34.:15:37.

tonight after growth in France ground to a halt. The figures put

:15:37.:15:40.

more pressure on the French government to tackle its budget

:15:40.:15:43.

deficit. The news came as shares recovered some of the ground lost

:15:43.:15:46.

in a turbulent fortnight on the markets. Here's our chief economics

:15:46.:15:56.

It was full steam ahead today for European markets, but the problems

:15:56.:16:00.

have not gone away, not least for France, which has been in the eye

:16:00.:16:03.

of the storm this week. There was no growth in the second quarter,

:16:03.:16:08.

with consumer spending plunging. didn't spend a lot of money. I

:16:08.:16:14.

saved a little bit. Looking at the stock markets, it is really

:16:14.:16:20.

difficult. A stalling economy create headaches for President

:16:20.:16:24.

Sarkozy. He had to break his holiday this week to hold an

:16:24.:16:28.

emergency cabinet meeting and press for faster deficit-reduction, but

:16:28.:16:31.

slow growth will hit tax revenues. Some investors are concerned about

:16:31.:16:36.

French government debt and questioning its AAA rating. Debt is

:16:36.:16:43.

82% of annual economic output, head of the UK's, around 80%, Spain's

:16:43.:16:48.

debt is 60% of annual output. The French finance -- Finance Minister

:16:48.:16:55.

said there was no cause for concern. TRANSLATION: I am not stressed. Not

:16:55.:16:59.

for a second. I am very confident because we have strong basics in

:16:59.:17:03.

our economy. But there have been worries about the health of French

:17:04.:17:09.

banks after their shares plummeted. Regulators have banned a practice

:17:10.:17:13.

known as short-selling to try to stock speculators making money out

:17:13.:17:18.

of falling bank shares. French banks are big and they have a lot

:17:18.:17:22.

of exposure to countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and

:17:22.:17:29.

Spain and Italy. They have been under the microscope recently.

:17:29.:17:34.

the UK the government argues it has a credible deficit reduction plan,

:17:34.:17:37.

which investors support, and British growth was stronger in the

:17:37.:17:41.

second quarter than France's. But events on the financial markets

:17:41.:17:45.

over the last fortnight demonstrate that the UK is as vulnerable as

:17:45.:17:48.

that the UK is as vulnerable as anyone to a global slowdown. A

:17:48.:17:54.

fortnight ago today, the FTSE 100 index was at around 5,800. Tonight

:17:54.:18:01.

it closed just above 5,300. Upon the day but still a fall of 8.5%

:18:01.:18:03.

over two weeks. That means a total over two weeks. That means a total

:18:04.:18:11.

loss on paper of �132 billion. Despite protests, the Italian

:18:11.:18:15.

government has denied approved more spending cuts and tax rises. We

:18:15.:18:19.

will have to wait until next week to see how the financial markets

:18:19.:18:24.

react to that. Coming up on tonight's programme:

:18:24.:18:31.

The struggle to rebuild lives in the aftermath of the riots.

:18:31.:18:34.

It is not about the furniture or the refrigerator or something like

:18:34.:18:39.

that, it is about your memories and the things you have been saving

:18:39.:18:46.

Four months ago, she was fighting for her life in a Libyan hospital

:18:47.:18:52.

with 30 separate pieces of shrapnel lodged in her body. When we first

:18:52.:18:55.

reported her story in Misrata, six- year-old Arwa was one of thousands

:18:55.:18:57.

of casualties of the fighting between Colonel Gaddafi's forces

:18:57.:19:05.

and Libyan rebels. Now, Orla Guerin has returned to Misrata to find

:19:05.:19:15.
:19:15.:19:25.

Arwa. Her report contains This is Arwa as we last saw her in

:19:25.:19:31.

April. A child of Misrata and a victim of the regime, lacerated by

:19:31.:19:41.
:19:41.:19:46.

And this is Arwa today. How are you? Back home and back to normal,

:19:46.:19:52.

her family say. But there are reminders all-around of the Grad

:19:52.:19:59.

rocket that landed on her doorstep and ruptured her childhood. Arwa

:19:59.:20:05.

will carry her scars for life. Her grandfather says she has managed to

:20:05.:20:10.

forget her injuries, but when she hears explosions in the distance,

:20:10.:20:19.

her fear is back. I get scared. I run inside, Arwa tells us in a

in the third Test against India at Edgbaston, where England declared

on a mammoth 710-7. India closed on 35-1. Our sports correspondent Joe

India's players arrived at Edgbaston fully expecting a

:22:00.:22:06.

challenging day. They were crushed. Powerless to resist the man who

:22:06.:22:09.

would back to eternity providing someone would bowl at him. Alastair

Cook. He collects runs calmly, with touch and timing, energy preserving.

:22:15.:22:19.

Massive scores depend on skill and stamina. Watch him sprinting like a

:22:19.:22:24.

man at the start of his innings as he took his score to 200. An

:22:25.:22:29.

outstanding individual in a world leading team. As England's total

:22:29.:22:34.

headed to 600, the scoreboard couldn't cope. A Power overload put

mistake and India held a catch. By then England had reached 710, their

:23:13.:23:19.

biggest-ever total in a five-day Test. Alastair Cook's 294 was the

:23:19.:23:23.

highest score by anyone at Edgbaston. It is mad how you can

:23:23.:23:26.

still be disappointed when you have scored 290. Only cricket can do

:23:26.:23:32.

that to you. A tinge of disappointment, but if I am being

:23:32.:23:35.

realistic, I am absolutely thrilled that I managed to put a really big

:23:35.:23:39.

score together. All that remains for England is to complete victory,

:23:39.:23:44.

which will presumably happen here some time tomorrow. Do

Let's return to tonight's main story - the riots that have taken

:23:47.:23:50.

place in parts of England this week. The scenes of looting and public

:23:50.:23:53.

disorder have sparked a major debate on the challenges facing our

:23:53.:23:56.

society. But for many, those who've lost homes or businesses, there are

:23:56.:23:58.

more immediate concerns. Our special correspondent Allan Little

looks now at the aftermath of the riots and the impact they've had on

burnt to the ground. When you look at the building, you feel empty,

:24:32.:24:39.

you feel like you have lost everything. It is not about the

:24:39.:24:43.

furniture, it is not about the refrigerator or something like that.

:24:43.:24:47.

It is about your memories and the things you have been saving from

:24:47.:24:52.

your childhood. The gifts you get from your mother, to keep forever,

:24:52.:24:58.

or the gift you get from your husband when you first met.

Tottenham High Road is a battered mess. But the clear-up has begun.

:25:04.:25:10.

Everywhere the waste is evident and appalling. A safe is all that is

:25:10.:25:13.

left of what was once a jeweller's shop. It is clear from the accounts

:25:13.:25:17.

that have emerged this week that many people were shocked first of

:25:17.:25:21.

all by the violence, but also by the spirit of malice which appeared

:25:21.:25:26.

to accompany it, the gratuitous vindictiveness of many of the

:25:26.:25:30.

rioters, we seemed to take real pleasure in their own

destructiveness. That has been profoundly unsettling. Onelia

immigrants. A Congolese bar owner, a Kurdish restaurant worker. They

the situation wasn't as it was, if we didn't -- if we had young people
