50 people have been arrested after a night of rioting in North London. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Petrol bombs were thrown. Vehicles and buildings set on fire and shops | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
were looted. As local people survey the damage, community and political | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
leaders have condemned the destruction. | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
This is a disgrace. So many of my constituents have said to me - as I | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
have walked up and talked to them. This must stop. | :00:35. | :00:40. | |

Manchester City at Wembley. Hello. Good evening. Nearly 50 | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
people are in police custody this evening after rioters attacked | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
police, set fire to buildings and looted shops in Tottenham, North | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
London. 29 people were injured, most of them police officers. The | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
trouble developed after a peaceful protest about the death of a local | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
man, Mark Duggan, who was shot dead by police on Thursday. Downing | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
Street has described the rioting as "utterly unacceptable." Our | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
correspondent has been monitoring events. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
This was Tottenham high Road last night. | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
At one end, officers in riot gear. At the other, the young men they | :01:46. | :01:56. | |
:01:56. | :01:58. | ||
are trying to police. This was the main shopping street, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
the commercial heart of the community, turned into a battle | :02:00. | :02:07. | |
zone. Bricks, firecrackers and flames | :02:07. | :02:16. | |
filled the Knight Air. Shops and homes were destroyed. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
More than two dozen police officers hurt. | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
From a vantage point, high in a building, running battles could be | :02:25. | :02:35. | |
:02:35. | :02:38. | ||
seen on the street below. This followed a peaceful protest at | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
the death of a man in a police shooting last week. There's no | :02:42. | :02:51. | |
question, the police were targets Here, an empty squad car was | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
attacked before being set ablaze. There was vandalism and looting too. | :02:55. | :03:05. | |
Eyewitnesses said it was an far ki. -- anarchy. PC World, there is | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
nothing left in that shop. Even several hours after the violence | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
began, the first light, loots went on. Here, people made off with | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
clothing. Today, police rejected claims they had been slow to catch | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
up we vents and had not been prepared -- we vents and had not | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
been prepared enough. We have a dignified response to that. We | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
allowed that protest to take place. Once that extreme violence and it | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
could not be anticipated on that scale, occurred, we moved the | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
appropriate level of resources in.S A residents pick through the | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
wreckage of their neighbourhood, the Government praised the police | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
and said the rioters would feel the full force of the law. The looting | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
and vandalism drew anger from the local MP, who described it as an | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
assault on the community. We need restraint and calm. I say to those | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
who wanted to come to Tottenham to cause violence and disturbance to | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
stay away. We don't need you. We don't want 25 years of re- | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
building community and trust destroyed because of mindless | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
nonsense. Last night, Tottenham paid a heavy | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
price. It is one of London's poorest areas and can il-afford the | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
damage this has done to community and livelihood. Well, this evening, | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
the family of the man who was shot by the police on Thursday, Mark | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
Duggan, said they did not condone the rioting. His shooting is being | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
Before the trouble flared they had taken part in a peaceful march to | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Tottenham police station from Broadwater Farm. | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
Our home affairs correspondent sent this report from Broadwater Farm. | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
The Broadwater Farm estate, the location which was the starting | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
point for last night's events. It was from here that the protest | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
march set off. Many here knew Mark Duggan, the man who was shot by | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
police. They killed him, you know. You know, because they are a law to | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
themselves they can put all this in the paper saying he was this, he | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
was that. You know. I don't see my friend being in the car and | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
surrounded by armed police and he's going to jump out and open fire on | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
armed police. That doesn't make sense. 26 years ago, Broadwater | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Farm became the most infamous estate in the country. Then, as now, | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
it was a death which become a trigger for the disturbances. | :05:50. | :06:00. | |
Cynthia died as police, who had arrested her son searched her home. | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
People who have lived here for a long time have said they are upset | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
that it is back in the news for negative reasons. Most will not go | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
on camera. Events of the last few days have sparked a debate about | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
the wider issues here. There's a break down of | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
communication. It has to be fixed. Among those who know the Tottenham | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
area well is Sonia, who didn't want to give her full name. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
There's young people that's never worked. They've left school. They | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
are this their late 20's and they've never had a job. It is not | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
because they don't want to work. Others here are angry at outsiders, | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
who they say came into the area because they wanted to join the mob | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
violence. I have seen people here who I have never seen in my life. I | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
have said to people I honestly believe there was one or two | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
anarchists. Opportunists were bound to come down. They acknowledge that | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
some young locals have little to do as the council cuts bite. One of | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
the best youth facilities in our area, it is now shut down. They | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
allowed people like myself to use their, and hold youth projects | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
there. Now it is closed down. Where do we use? Then there are | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
relationships with the police. police haven't really communicated | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
directly with the youth here. It's caused the problem today. It feels | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
like they have no word, no voice. The voice they think is good, but | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
is wrong, is smashing up things. The family of Mark Duggan, the man | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
who was shot by police say they do not condone the actions taken | :07:36. | :07:41. | |
overnight in his name. They say they realise people are frustrated | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
and angry. They have appealed for an end to the violence. M Well, our | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
correspondent is there now. What is happening there this evening? | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
Jane, a fairly subdued atmosphere in this part of North London this | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
evening. People are coming to terms with the night of rioting which | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
caused such devastation on their high street. Much of that street is | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
in fact a crime scene, about half a mile of it, as police officers | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
continue their investigations. They will be here all night. Crow can | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
probably see the remains of the two burnt-out police cars. The question | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
for police, community leaders and politician is; was this a peaceful | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
protest hijacked by criminal elements? Was it about something | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
more fundamental? It will take days, weeks and months of calm reflection | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
until the answer to that is known. Thank you. Now, the rest of the | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
day's news. And the NATO-led forces in Afghanistan say four of their | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
soldiers have been killed in two separate attacks. Two French | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
soldiers died. Five were wounded when they came under fire from | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
insurger gents. Two others were killed in the -- insurgents. Two | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
others were killed. Officials from the European Central Bank are | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
holding talks to look at ways to stop the international debt crisis | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
spreading and steady the markets before they open on Monday morning. | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
Our business correspondent is with That crucial meeting really. We | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
think it is underway now? understand it has started T reason | :09:13. | :09:19. | |
they are there is because the cost of borrowing for Italian bonds has | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
reached such a level it is in need of a bail out like Ireland and | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Greece, et cetera. They think by snapping up Italian bonds that will | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
get the cost of borrowing down and remove the need. There is a split | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
in the council. The Germans are nervous about giving money towards | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
Italy before they have shown they can get their debt mountain down. | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Standard & Poor's downgraded the United States. There is a lot to | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
talk about. And before the markets open. So much anxiety. You look at | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
theest, some will open in only a few hours. �1.5 trillion was wiped | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
off shares last week. We don't know what the markets will do. They may | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
shrug off the US downgrade. They may be forced to sell off non- | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
triple-A assets. They are not risk- free. They may dive into the gold | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
or Swiss franc or UK Government bonds. We will know in a few hours. | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
Opposition activists in Syria say more than 75 people have been | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
killed in two towns, as tanks and troops moved against protestors. In | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
Deir al-Zour in the north-east of the country, it is reported at | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
least 50 people died when soldiers stormed the city just after dawn. | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
Amateur video, which cannot be verified shows plumes of smoke and | :10:42. | :10:48. | |
the sound of explosions. Foreign journalists are banned, but Jim | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
Muir has been following development from neighbouring Lebanon. That is | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
a grim toll. What more do we know? Well, as you say a grim toll. It | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
looks like a repetition of what happened in what ma in central | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
Syria a few -- in Hama in central Syria a few days earlier. One local | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
account said what was happening in one of the suburbs of Deir al-Zour | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
amounted to a real massacre, the whole place was completely | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
surrounded and cut off with shelling and people going door-to- | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
door storming houses and so on. Of course this is all unverified | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
information. We cannot be there. At the same time, we've had reports of | :11:30. | :11:33. | |
similar trouble in central Syria, with tanks and troops going in | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
there. 20 people killed in that area too. A very high death tally | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
for one day. All this coming as diplomatic pressures and outside | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
pressures on Syria being ramped up, especially from Turkey, in the | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
north, which is influential in northern Syria. The Turkish Prime | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Minister sending his Foreign Minister to damn mass ka, -- | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
Damascus. Not much of a meeting of minds | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
there. Thank you. Two members of an | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
expedition injured in a polar bear attack in Norway in which a 17- | :12:10. | :12:17. | |
year-old boy were killed have returned to the UK. | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
They were flown home. Two other members of the party, who were more | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
severely hurt remain in hospital in Norway. An investigation is | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
underway in Afghanistan into the crash of a Chinook helicopter which | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
the Taliban claimed to have shot down. The crash site, south-west of | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
the capital, Kabul, has been sealed off, as the wreckage is recovered. | :12:38. | :12:42. | |
It was the biggest single loss for American forces in the ten-year | :12:42. | :12:48. | |
conflict. 38 people died, more than half of them were members of an | :12:48. | :12:58. | |
elite special force, the Navy SEALs. Now to sports news. Manchester | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
United have beaten Manchester City at Wembley. The Community Shield is | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
sometimes regarded as a meaningless match, but not today. United came | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
:13:16. | :13:17. | ||
from 2-0 down to win in injury time. The volume turned up. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
Like most concerts, finding personal space was tough, until | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Jolean Lescott located a spot, with devastating effect. It was a goal | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
few had seen coming. The same could be said for their second. This, the | :13:32. | :13:40. | |
best moment for City. Even the keeper seemed surprised. His team | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
weren't stunned though. Another new recruit, Ashley Young, set up Chris | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
Smalling for the come back. Nani completed City's bewilderment. | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
Still, they were set to hold on for penalties, until the ultimate | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
moment of confusion, with a minute left. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Nani knew what he was doing. So much for just being pre-season. | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
Proof that Manchester United never know when they are beaten. City | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
still looking enviously over the fence. | :14:18. | :14:23. | |
West Ham have started life in the championship with defeat at home to | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
Cardiff City, after their relegation from the Premier League, | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
the Hammers are favourite to go back up. They dominated the match, | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
but could not score. Cardiff stole it in injury time. Kenny Miller | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
with the winner. There were two games in the Scottish Premier | :14:39. | :14:46. | |
League, Motherwell against Hearts was goalless. Celtic's defender, | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
Emilio Izaguirre, broke his ankle in the first half at Pittodrie. | :14:50. | :15:00. | |
:15:00. | :15:01. | ||
Anthony Stokes got the game's only goal. It makes it 2-2 for Celtic. | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
Today's challenge cup semi-final between Castleford tigers and leads | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
Rhinos went to extra time. Kevin Sinfield had another kick to | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
win it. Leeds winning 10-8. Into the | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
Wembley final against Wigan in three weeks' time. | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
It has been a great weekend for British triathletes. Helen Jenkins | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
won yesterday. Alistair Brownlee won today. It is his third win | :15:31. | :15:37. | |
after five events of the World Triathlon Series. | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
After that 1500 metre swim and 40kms on the bike, Brownlee took | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
complete control in the 10km run. He was able to enjoy the home | :15:46. | :15:50. |
