:00:09. > :00:17.Continuing tensions between police chiefs and the Government over how

:00:18. > :00:23.the riots in England were handled. As raids continue to arrest

:00:23. > :00:26.suspects, the Home Secretary says the public wanted tough action.

:00:26. > :00:29.Thousands attend a peace rally in Birmingham. Relatives of three

:00:29. > :00:34.three men who died during the disturbances address the crowd.

:00:34. > :00:37.three boys didn't die in vain. They died for this community and I hope

:00:37. > :00:42.that this community will remember them.

:00:42. > :00:48.Police in Norway tame the gunman Anders Breivik back to the island

:00:48. > :00:58.where he shot dead 69 people. And a winning start for Manchester

:00:58. > :01:06.

:01:07. > :01:10.United as they kick off the defence Good evening. Senior police

:01:10. > :01:14.officers have questioned the Prime Minister's plan to ask a former

:01:14. > :01:17.American police chief to advise Ministers on tackling gang violence.

:01:17. > :01:23.It comes amid continuing tensions between the police and the

:01:23. > :01:29.Government on how the riots in England last week were handled, as

:01:29. > :01:34.our correspondent Danny Savage reports.

:01:34. > :01:37.In areas where rioting took place, like here in London, police have

:01:37. > :01:41.been getting on with the business of tracking down those suspected of

:01:41. > :01:46.being involved in the trouble. But there's a growing chorus of concern

:01:46. > :01:51.about the Government seeking the advice of a US police chief. To

:01:51. > :01:56.avoid more of this, Bill Bratton is coming to the UK to give some tips

:01:56. > :01:59.on how to deal with gangs. Sir Hugh Orde, the President of the

:01:59. > :02:09.Association of Chief Police Officers, isn't impressed. He told

:02:09. > :02:17.

:02:17. > :02:21.But a former officer, dubbed Robocop in his time, can see the

:02:21. > :02:24.benefits of the visitor from the States. What the British police

:02:24. > :02:27.force have to accept is their style of policing hasn't worked and

:02:27. > :02:31.that's what we are talking about here. You can put 6,000 police

:02:31. > :02:36.officers on the beat or 16,000, it matters not. What is more important

:02:36. > :02:39.is the style of policing. consulting a former American police

:02:39. > :02:45.chief isn't the only thing that the Government and police seem unable

:02:45. > :02:48.to agree on at the moment. The acting chief here, Tim Godwin, has

:02:48. > :02:52.accused politicians of sending out mixed messages, when it comes to

:02:52. > :02:56.dealing with public disorder. One of the things I did discuss

:02:56. > :03:00.with the Prime Minister was the fact that there is often

:03:00. > :03:04.inconsistency of feedback in terms of policing public order and we are

:03:04. > :03:08.sometimes are accused of excessive force and not being forceful enough.

:03:08. > :03:13.But the Home Secretary says she won't shy away from telling police

:03:13. > :03:16.what the public think. When I talk to the police what is clear is they

:03:17. > :03:21.had to make operational decisions and any incident at the time, but

:03:21. > :03:26.the public was clear and I was clear, that there had to be a

:03:26. > :03:30.change of tactics to ensure that we had that tough policing.

:03:30. > :03:33.opposition say in the last week the Government has overstepped the mark.

:03:33. > :03:36.Certainly where you get the Home Secretary saying she's ordered the

:03:36. > :03:40.police to do certain things, when the Prime Minister is saying he's

:03:40. > :03:43.ordered them to do certain things, when they've no power to do it, I

:03:44. > :03:49.think you can understand why the police felt frustrated. The Home

:03:49. > :03:53.Secretary has reiterated that police budgets will still be cut,

:03:53. > :03:57.underlining another contentious issue between the two camps.

:03:57. > :04:00.Our political correspondent is at Scotland Yard for us now. Where

:04:00. > :04:06.does this all leave relations between the police and the

:04:06. > :04:08.Government? Well, I think these latest prickly remarks from top

:04:08. > :04:13.police officers in part simply reflect their sheer anger at the

:04:13. > :04:16.criticism which has been levelled at them over over the way they

:04:16. > :04:19.handled the riots, particularly in the early stages. I think there is

:04:19. > :04:21.another issue as well, the Prime Minister believes strongly in

:04:21. > :04:25.making police forces much more accountable and that's why the

:04:25. > :04:28.Government is trying to push through its idea of having elected

:04:28. > :04:32.police commissioners which Ministers think will be more in

:04:32. > :04:35.touch with views of local people. I think that's also why the Home

:04:35. > :04:39.Secretary today was stressing that her role during the riots was to

:04:40. > :04:43.let the police know what the public expected in terms of a response on

:04:43. > :04:46.the streets. The police say that they're all for being accountable,

:04:46. > :04:51.what they don't like is interference and anything that

:04:51. > :04:54.looks like the politicisation of their decision-making. I think that

:04:54. > :05:02.as the Government tries to push through its reform programme we are

:05:02. > :05:05.likely to see some of these tensions resurface. Thank you.

:05:05. > :05:10.Libyan rebel forces say they've taken control of parts of the

:05:10. > :05:12.coastal town of Zawiyah around 13 miles west of the capital Tripoli.

:05:12. > :05:15.Small numbers of opposition fighters have been seen in the

:05:15. > :05:24.centre of the town, although it's believed Government troops are

:05:24. > :05:29.still in the area. Our correspondent Orla Guerin reports.

:05:29. > :05:35.Rebel supporters on the streets of Zawiyah.

:05:35. > :05:42.Welcoming the fighters to Colonel Gaddafi's backyard. His green flag

:05:42. > :05:46.hurled from a mosque. For the rebels this is a key victory. Their

:05:46. > :05:53.most significant yet. But it's unclear how much of the city they

:05:53. > :06:00.control. They were met with shelling and sniper fire. And there

:06:00. > :06:05.are reports that a counterattack has already begun. But the rebels

:06:05. > :06:11.believe their push for freedom is gaining momentum after months of

:06:11. > :06:17.deadlock. Here in the west, fresh from taking a town, they say

:06:17. > :06:21.Colonel Gaddafi's days are numbered. The circle is tightening on the

:06:21. > :06:26.tyrant, Mohammad told us, we are cutting his supply lines from the

:06:26. > :06:30.south and the west. The fighters here believe the tide is turning

:06:30. > :06:35.their way. They have made gains on several fronts in recent days, but

:06:35. > :06:41.they are still facing opposition. The key issue is Colonel Gaddafi's

:06:41. > :06:45.troops, how long and how hard will they be willing to fight? We asked

:06:45. > :06:49.a senior officer in Colonel Gaddafi's Army, a brigadier

:06:49. > :06:54.captured last month. We can't reveal his identity or

:06:54. > :07:00.independently verify his testimony. There are a group of fighters and

:07:00. > :07:03.officers who are still prepared to die for Gaddafi, he said. The

:07:03. > :07:09.majority support him, I know that from the battlefield, and from

:07:09. > :07:17.talking to them. If true, the rebels could still be

:07:17. > :07:19.facing a long fight, but they are now closer than ever to their enemy.

:07:20. > :07:23.A British soldier has died in an explosion in Afghanistan. The

:07:23. > :07:27.Ministry of Defence said the serviceman from 1st Battalion The

:07:27. > :07:30.Rifles was killed by a bomb while he was on patrol in Helmand

:07:30. > :07:33.Province on Friday. His family has been told.

:07:33. > :07:37.Further north at least 19 people died in an attack by militants on

:07:37. > :07:41.offices used by the governor of Parwan Province.

:07:41. > :07:45.The police in Jersey say at least five people have died and another

:07:45. > :07:48.is in a critical condition after a knife attack at a flat in St Helier.

:07:48. > :07:53.The emergency department at the General Hospital has been closed

:07:53. > :07:57.and people are at the moment unable to enter the building.

:07:57. > :08:05.The police in Norway have taken the gunman who shot dead 69 people

:08:05. > :08:08.three weeks ago back to the island of Utoeya for a reconstruction. 32-

:08:08. > :08:12.year-old Anders Breivik was guarded by armed officers as he led

:08:12. > :08:17.investigators around the island in an eight-hour visit. There is flash

:08:17. > :08:21.photography in this report. They took Anders Breivik back to

:08:21. > :08:26.the scene of his crime, he arrived dressed in a red t-shirt on the

:08:26. > :08:31.same ferry he had ridden the day he systematically killed so many

:08:31. > :08:38.innocent people. For eight hours he described his actions to police,

:08:38. > :08:42.including here simulating the firing of his gun. He was heavily

:08:42. > :08:45.harnessed to guards and wore a bullet-proof vest in case of

:08:45. > :08:49.revenge attacks. The police prosecutor said they hoped the

:08:49. > :08:56.visit would enable him to give more detail about each death.

:08:56. > :09:03.TRANSLATION: We got a lot of new new information

:09:03. > :09:07.about what happened. Norway is still reeling from the shock of 77

:09:07. > :09:13.lives lost, most young people enjoying a Labour Party summer camp.

:09:13. > :09:17.The rest in a bomb attack in the centre of Oslo. Anders Breivik has

:09:17. > :09:25.admitted the attacks but denies criminal guilt. As he reconstructed

:09:25. > :09:28.the horror on the island police said he showed no remorse.

:09:28. > :09:32.Now with the sport here is Olly Foster.

:09:32. > :09:35.Two of the Premier League title contenders got their season started

:09:35. > :09:43.today, Chelsea were held by Stoke. The champions, Manchester United,

:09:43. > :09:47.were heading for a draw at West Bromwich Albion but they won 2-1

:09:47. > :09:51.thanks to an own goal. What what do you give the manager what

:09:51. > :09:54.has won pretty much everything? Another title, of course and Wayne

:09:54. > :09:59.Rooney started their defence convincingly. New hair, same eye

:09:59. > :10:05.for goal from the striker. But there's not the same continuity at

:10:05. > :10:08.the back. So, Shane Long tested the new United goalkeeper and this

:10:08. > :10:12.won't dampen any of the criticism he has received in his short career

:10:12. > :10:22.in England to date. Indeed, this wasn't pleasant for the whole

:10:22. > :10:22.

:10:22. > :10:28.United defence, as Ferdinand limped off. United's success is built

:10:28. > :10:32.around coping with diversity. West Brom's unfortunate Steven Reed

:10:32. > :10:42.with the final touch. The goal a combination of brilliance and luck,

:10:42. > :10:52.

:10:52. > :10:58.An early reminder to the young manager that the Premier League is

:10:58. > :11:08.not easy. Kilmarnock are up to fourth in the

:11:08. > :11:15.Scottish Premier League after their 4-1 win against heub Hibernian.

:11:15. > :11:18.It's their first victory under the manager Kenny Shiels.

:11:18. > :11:23.England's cricketers were out celebrating last night after

:11:23. > :11:29.beating India to become the number one Test team in the world. The

:11:29. > :11:39.challenge is staying there. No, you weren't dreaming, England

:11:39. > :11:40.

:11:40. > :11:46.really are officially the best. But how did it happen? After all

:11:46. > :11:51.two years ago England were ranked a lowly 6th. Enter the Zimbabwean

:11:51. > :11:55.coach Andy Flower who instantly galvanised his players. He is tough

:11:55. > :11:58.with them. He sets high standards. He expects high standards and he

:11:58. > :12:01.demonstrates those standards himself. I think he is an excellent

:12:01. > :12:07.role model for the team. He is a fit guy, a tough guy and that's

:12:07. > :12:15.what we are looking for in our our -- cricketers. England have won

:12:15. > :12:21.their last six Test series. And the skipper has guided them to 20 Test

:12:21. > :12:26.wins. But are they the best England ever? They might not have an

:12:26. > :12:36.individual style like Ian Botham. As a team they're the most

:12:36. > :12:41.successful since the 50s when the England set-ups was very different.

:12:41. > :12:46.These days they have a main coach, a batting coach, bowling coach,

:12:46. > :12:51.fielding coach, and all the rest of it. All we had was a manager.

:12:51. > :12:56.the investment seems to be paying off. England did slump after the

:12:56. > :13:01.Ashes euphoria of 2005, but this time there's no danger of

:13:01. > :13:04.complacency. The challenge is now to stay where they are, as Andy

:13:04. > :13:09.Flower has also said they want to win a World Cup. He is tough enough,

:13:09. > :13:14.ambitious enough to say right we ticked that box but we have to move

:13:14. > :13:19.on and do something better now. wild celebrations, no victory

:13:19. > :13:22.parades, this time English cricket is keeping its feet firmly on the

:13:22. > :13:29.ground. Getting to the top is one thing but now they want to stay

:13:29. > :13:32.there. That's all the sport.

:13:32. > :13:37.More now on our main news, today a peace rally has been taking place

:13:37. > :13:43.in Birmingham where three people were run over and killed during

:13:43. > :13:47.last week's riots. Haroon Jahan, Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir died

:13:47. > :13:55.as they tried to protect their shops from looters. A man and a

:13:55. > :14:05.youth have been remanded in custody charged with their murders.

:14:05. > :14:12.They fell silent for Haroon Jahan, Abdul Musavir and Shazad Ali.

:14:12. > :14:21.And then their families, raw with grief, took to the stage. Thank you

:14:21. > :14:24.everyone for coming and all I can ask for is that - forget about me,

:14:24. > :14:33.I am nobody, but try and remember the three men that sacrificed their

:14:33. > :14:42.life for this community. We are not the best, but we can try to be good.

:14:42. > :14:45.We have lost three brothers who were martyred. In this park,

:14:45. > :14:49.central for one of Birmingham's poorest communities, people of all

:14:49. > :14:55.faiths and ages wanted to prove they had more to offer than the

:14:55. > :14:59.violence seen this week. This has been a very noisy response for

:14:59. > :15:03.peace. I don't think anyone could have imagined during the height of

:15:03. > :15:08.those troubles that people here would be standing together to

:15:08. > :15:16.demonstrate for peace and to answer robustly those who came to these

:15:16. > :15:20.streets to try to tear them apart. This largely spontaneous event put
