Also on tonight's programme: Rebel fighters in Libya take

:00:39.:00:41.

control of a strategically important town from Colonel

:00:41.:00:43.

Gaddafi's forces. England's number one in the world!

:00:43.:00:46.

It's official - England take the top spot after thrashing India at

:00:46.:00:51.

Edgbaston. And goodbye Mr Robinson - tributes

:00:51.:00:54.

are paid to the veteran BBC broadcaster who's died at the age

:00:54.:01:04.
:01:04.:01:14.

Good evening. More than 2000 people have now been

:01:14.:01:18.

arrested and over 1000 charged in connection with last weeks riots.

:01:18.:01:21.

Courts in London and Manchester have held special weekend sessions

:01:21.:01:24.

to deal with the numbers and police have published more images of

:01:24.:01:28.

suspects. The Chancellor, George Osborne, today said the violence

:01:28.:01:38.

showed how 'deep-seated problems in society' had to be tackled.

:01:38.:01:41.

Today, police in London released more pictures of people they want

:01:42.:01:47.

to trace in connection with the violence, disorder and looting were

:01:47.:01:52.

the rioting flared. The round of continues. Tonight, 33-year-old man

:01:52.:01:56.

has been arrested on suspicion of causing the fire which destroyed

:01:56.:02:00.

the House of Reeves in Croydon. In the capital, the Metropolitan

:02:00.:02:03.

Police say they have arrested more than 1,200 people in connection

:02:04.:02:09.

with the riots. As a result, a court sat until 8pm this evening.

:02:09.:02:13.

There will also sit Samarra to process the defendants as they come

:02:13.:02:18.

to the system. One of those in court was accused of robbing a

:02:18.:02:21.

student in Barking. These pictures caused an outcry when they were

:02:21.:02:26.

broadcast. The Prime Minister said he felt disgusted when he saw them.

:02:26.:02:30.

21-year-old Reece Donovan is accused of taking a phone and a

:02:30.:02:34.

portable PlayStation from a bleeding and days Ashraf Rosli. He

:02:34.:02:40.

was remanded in custody. A week after the trouble began, the

:02:40.:02:42.

Chancellor has reiterated the Government's point, but the

:02:42.:02:46.

underlying cause of the riots was not about a lack of money for the

:02:46.:02:51.

police or the public. It is not just a question of money. If it was

:02:51.:02:55.

just a question of money this would have been solved years ago. It is a

:02:55.:02:58.

more deep-seated cultural change we need to bring about in the

:02:58.:03:03.

community. The Labour leader, Ed Miliband, was out on the streets

:03:03.:03:07.

talking to people in Hackney. Also pointing to problems at a social

:03:07.:03:12.

level in an area hit by the trouble. We owe people duty to make sure we

:03:12.:03:17.

learn lessons from what happened. That means having a proper, what I

:03:17.:03:20.

call a national conversation, a Commission of inquiry that comes to

:03:20.:03:26.

places like Hackney. Now, the American policeman famed for his

:03:26.:03:31.

zero-tolerance approach to crime is going to advise the Government.

:03:31.:03:35.

assignment is to focus more on the issues of the American experience

:03:35.:03:40.

dealing with gangs and what we may be able to share with them.

:03:40.:03:45.

tonight, a special vigil has been held in Ealing. The reflections on

:03:45.:03:49.

a bad week continue. The families of three men, who died

:03:49.:03:52.

after being hit by a car in Birmingham during the riots, today

:03:52.:03:55.

called for justice to be done. The men were killed as they tried to

:03:55.:03:58.

protect their properties from looters. Five people are now being

:03:58.:04:08.
:04:08.:04:12.

held on suspicion of murder. They arrive with flowers, prayers

:04:12.:04:22.
:04:22.:04:23.

and tears. The bus stop crime scene which has become a shrine. People

:04:23.:04:29.

want justice for Haroon Jahan and the brothers, Shahzad Ali and Abdul

:04:29.:04:34.

Musavir. All three died after a car ran them down as they tried to

:04:34.:04:41.

protect their community from looters. Behind the practicalities

:04:41.:04:45.

of this afternoon's news conference, where the families once again

:04:45.:04:50.

appealed for calm and information, the trauma was still sinking in.

:04:50.:04:58.

was excited and was looking forward to the birth of his first child. A

:04:58.:05:03.

father who will never hold his child and a child who will never be

:05:03.:05:09.

held by his father. A wife without a husband, parents who have lost

:05:09.:05:17.

two sons. We are still looking for witnesses to come forward. And the

:05:17.:05:21.

police need as much help as possible. There were times this

:05:21.:05:25.

week when people felt they had lost control of their streets. But the

:05:25.:05:30.

two families who lost their sons to the violence refused to retreat. As

:05:30.:05:34.

they continue to grieve and call for peace, there has been an open

:05:34.:05:38.

invitation for the whole of Birmingham to join them in this

:05:38.:05:47.

Park tomorrow to try and ensure pieces kept. -- piece is kept.

:05:47.:05:50.

Rebels in western Libya say they've advanced towards the port city of

:05:50.:05:53.

Zawiyah, around 20 miles from Tripoli. It follows a push by

:05:53.:05:56.

rebels on the town of Tawargha, east of the city of Misrata where

:05:56.:05:59.

Colonel Gaddafi's forces had been launching rocket attacks. From

:05:59.:06:08.

there, Orla Guerin sent this report. Closing in on Tawargha. The rebels

:06:08.:06:13.

pushed across the desert and film their advance. They say it was

:06:13.:06:19.

closely co-ordinated with NATO. This town was a key target. From

:06:19.:06:25.

here, Colonel Gaddafi's men have been terrorising Misrata with long

:06:25.:06:30.

range rocket. This man is convinced his home town will now be safe.

:06:30.:06:36.

am so happy. I can sleep well and the children can sleep well. They

:06:36.:06:43.

can play every work, not be afraid. They can do anything. After taking

:06:43.:06:48.

control, the rebels rounded up suspects for interrogation. Both

:06:48.:06:52.

Libyans and foreign workers. They told us they were not afraid, but

:06:52.:06:59.

there were anxious faces. Where are the weapons, this fighter

:06:59.:07:05.

asks? You can go home, but where are the weapons? The men protest

:07:05.:07:11.

their innocence. A we have been working here for years, they say. I

:07:11.:07:16.

am just earning a living, says this man, an Egyptian. I am not with

:07:16.:07:20.

Gaddafi and I am not with the fighters.

:07:20.:07:27.

The commander who led the battle, led me to some of the spoils. Heavy

:07:27.:07:32.

artillery which was hidden in the palm trees. The martyr's blood

:07:32.:07:37.

isn't shared in vain, he chance. The commander last 12 men here,

:07:37.:07:42.

four from his own brigade. After freeing Tawargha, our martyrs

:07:42.:07:48.

can rest in peace, he said. And the children can sleep easy in their

:07:48.:07:50.

bed. For the rebels, this is a key

:07:50.:07:54.

victory, but they are already planning their next move. They want

:07:54.:07:58.

to press on from here to a strategic junction about 20

:07:58.:08:03.

minutes' drive a wake. The say if they can capture that they can

:08:03.:08:09.

block the last remaining supply route to Colonel Gaddafi's's home

:08:09.:08:14.

city. Rebel advances have been slow in coming. They have made gains on

:08:14.:08:19.

three fronts in recent days, but they may struggle to hold this new

:08:19.:08:29.
:08:29.:08:31.

ground and press ahead. A minute's silence has been held in

:08:31.:08:34.

Germany to mark 50 years since the building of the Berlin Wall. Trains

:08:34.:08:37.

and traffic came to a standstill in the capital to commemorate those

:08:37.:08:41.

who died trying to cross the wall, which stood for 28 years, and came

:08:41.:08:48.

to symbolise the Cold War. At the Berlin Chapel of

:08:48.:08:54.

reconciliation, there was a simple ceremony. This building replaced

:08:54.:08:56.

the Church of reconciliation demolished by the East German

:08:56.:09:01.

authorities because it stood in the wake of a wall. Flowers were laid

:09:01.:09:06.

at a memorial to those who were killed trying to flee. 128 people

:09:06.:09:12.

who simply wanted their freedom were shot. He says, based system

:09:12.:09:17.

locked in its own people. It is a bitter memory of this day in which

:09:17.:09:22.

Berlin was in a state of shock. It started on that morning exactly 50

:09:22.:09:27.

years ago when East German soldiers laid first Bach Choir, and then

:09:27.:09:32.

built at the wall with its death strip, on which guards opened fire

:09:32.:09:37.

on their own citizens trying to leave. Berlin became the focus of

:09:37.:09:42.

the Cold War stand-off. At the ceremony, the country's leaders

:09:42.:09:46.

remembered. Chancellor Angela Merkel grew up and the East and

:09:46.:09:51.

rose to lead her united country when the Wall fell. Germany's

:09:51.:09:56.

President spoke for many. The war worked against its own people, he

:09:56.:10:01.

said. But in the end freedom is unconquerable. Today, virtually

:10:02.:10:06.

none of the Berlin Wall is still standing. This is one of the few

:10:06.:10:11.

remaining sections which wasn't demolished. There is no nostalgia

:10:11.:10:17.

in this city for the brutality and the division which it represented.

:10:17.:10:20.

Now with news of a historic day for England's cricketers and the rest

:10:20.:10:23.

of the sport, it's over to Sean Fletcher.

:10:23.:10:27.

England are officially the best test cricket side in the world.

:10:27.:10:30.

That's after they comprehensively beat India in the third Test, by an

:10:30.:10:40.
:10:40.:10:43.

innings and 242 runs at Edgbaston. On top of the cricketing world, a

:10:43.:10:48.

decade ago England were officially the worst Test side. How things

:10:48.:10:54.

change. The fans flocked in fancy dress, a blend of the strange and

:10:54.:10:58.

even stranger, but there was only one decent impression of a cricket

:10:58.:11:03.

team. Jimmy Anderson blowing away the Indian batting with three early

:11:03.:11:09.

wickets. When Sachin Tendulkar was run out for 40, India's hopes of

:11:09.:11:14.

any respectability seemed to go with him. Some good hitting gave

:11:14.:11:18.

them something to cheer about, but it still could not dampen England's

:11:18.:11:23.

party, as they sealed their moment of history. A country once a byword

:11:24.:11:30.

for mediocrity, now the best in the business. I am very proud over the

:11:30.:11:34.

way they have played under pressure. This is a big series and you either

:11:34.:11:38.

come and smelling of roses or it does not work out. Thankfully we

:11:38.:11:43.

have been in the ascendancy. England just use a India as the No

:11:44.:11:48.

1, this was a walloping and the fans could only applaud. We have

:11:48.:11:53.

had the bad times, now we have the good times. It England have been

:11:53.:11:59.

awesome, they deserve to be No 1. England have blended skill and

:11:59.:12:03.

spirit, talented individuals playing as a team, whose best could

:12:03.:12:07.

be yet to come. I think what the squad they have

:12:07.:12:11.

got there will dominate Test match cricket for a period. The strength,

:12:11.:12:16.

their attitude and fitness levels, they are hungry. And the

:12:16.:12:21.

professionalism off the field is so impressive. English cricket has

:12:21.:12:26.

seen some lows, but today it scaled the heights. No. 1 in the world and

:12:26.:12:35.

on this form, a richly deserved. Well it's the start of the Premier

:12:35.:12:38.

League season and that means one thing - Match of the Day follows

:12:38.:12:42.

the news, so if you don't want to know the scores, now's the time to

:12:42.:12:44.

leave the room. Newcastle and Arsenal drew 0-0, but the match

:12:44.:12:47.

will be remembered for a second half confrontation, which led to a

:12:47.:12:51.

yellow card for Joey Barton and a red card for Gervinho, on his

:12:51.:12:53.

Arsenal debut. Another debutant, Sebastian Larsson, had a better day.

:12:53.:12:56.

He scored an impressive equaliser for Sunderland in a 1-1 draw at

:12:56.:12:59.

Liverpool. QPR's return to the top flight wasn't a happy one as Bolton

:12:59.:13:02.

won 4-0. Fabrice Muamba scoring the final goal. Elsewhere Wolves beat

:13:02.:13:04.

Blackburn, Fulham drew with Aston Villa, and newly-promoted Norwich

:13:04.:13:07.

fought back from a goal down to draw with Wigan.

:13:07.:13:09.

Motherwell remain top of the Scottish Premier League after

:13:09.:13:13.

scoring a late winner against St Mirren. Celtic are second after

:13:13.:13:17.

their 5-1 victory over Dundee United. And third-placed Rangers

:13:17.:13:22.

benefited from two, second-half penalties at Inverness, to win 2-0.

:13:22.:13:25.

There were also wins for Hearts and Dunfermline.

:13:25.:13:28.

Wales are celebrating a confidence- boosting win over England in

:13:28.:13:32.

Cardiff, as they warm up for next month's Rugby World Cup. England

:13:32.:13:36.

had plenty of possession in the first half, but couldn't capitalise.

:13:36.:13:41.

James Hook made them pay when he scored the only try of the game.

:13:41.:13:50.

Wales won by 19-9 at the Millennium Stadium.

:13:50.:13:54.

Lee Westwood is three shots off the lead in the third round of the

:13:55.:13:58.

USPGA golf in Atlanta. Tributes have been paid to the

:13:58.:14:00.

veteran broadcaster, Robert Robinson, who's died after a long

:14:00.:14:04.

illness at the age of 83. He was probably best known for his role as

:14:04.:14:07.

quizmaster on the shows Ask the Family, Call My Bluff and Brain of

:14:07.:14:17.
:14:17.:14:18.

Britain. When the BBC wanted someone to

presents its first programme devoted to viewers' letters, Robert

:14:22.:14:27.

Robinson was the choice. Witty and deadpan.. Every Monday I will

frightfully disobedience and so helps save television from one its

besetting sins which is complacency. He delighted in awkward questions.

:14:41.:14:46.

MS Mansfield, I know you won't think I am rude by saying a visit

:14:46.:14:50.

to you is like a visit to the Tower of London, you are both

:14:50.:14:54.

institutions. What is it like to belong to the public. I guess I

:14:54.:14:59.

feel the same way as the Tower of London seals. The Swan goes into

:14:59.:15:06.

your buttocks. Get up on the couch. He could make fun of himself. He

:15:06.:15:10.

travelled around India starting in the BBC doctor's surgery, getting

:15:10.:15:16.

his injections. On radio, he could give his wit and idiosyncrasy full

:15:52.:15:57.

went out of fashion and was accused of sneering and was left behind as

television became more informal and less respectful. He turned to
