:00:04. > :00:10.There's yet more violence and looting tonight on the streets of
:00:10. > :00:13.London. This time it's in Hackney, in the east of the capital, where
:00:13. > :00:17.police in riot gear are being pelted with rocks and missiles and
:00:17. > :00:21.shops are being looted. It follows more violence last night in several
:00:21. > :00:27.parts of the capital - from Enfield in north London to Brixton in the
:00:27. > :00:31.south. It was needless, opportunistic
:00:31. > :00:34.theft and violence, and it is completely unacceptable.
:00:34. > :00:39.In Tottenham, where it all started, the burnt-out carpet store - a
:00:39. > :00:45.business gone and many homes above it destroyed.
:00:45. > :00:48.Just couldn't believe it, our building was going up in flames. 10
:00:48. > :00:50.minutes longer in that building and we would have been dead.
:00:50. > :00:53.Also on tonight's programme... Global markets plummet again,
:00:53. > :01:02.wiping billions off share prices. The sharp rise in rural crime
:01:02. > :01:05.that's costing households and businesses nearly �50 million.
:01:05. > :01:15.And why the TV presenter Carol Voderman wants all school pupils to
:01:15. > :01:43.
:01:43. > :01:48.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six. More violence has
:01:48. > :01:50.broken out on the streets of London tonight. In Hackney in east London,
:01:50. > :01:53.police in riot gear are being attacked with stones and missiles,
:01:53. > :01:56.and shops and businesses are being looted. Extra police are being
:01:56. > :01:59.deployed in the capital tonight to try to quell the trouble that began
:01:59. > :02:03.in Tottenham on Saturday. More than 160 people have been arrested since
:02:03. > :02:06.then after the violence spread to other parts of London. The violence
:02:06. > :02:09.which began in Tottenham spread last night to Enfield, Walthamstow
:02:09. > :02:12.and Brixton. Then this afternoon it erupted again - this time in
:02:12. > :02:22.Hackney. Our home affairs correspondent, Matt Prodger, is in
:02:22. > :02:23.
:02:23. > :02:27.Tottenham now. Here in Tottenham, they're still counting the cost of
:02:27. > :02:35.the violence on Saturday night, and they're counting that cost in terms
:02:35. > :02:42.of burnt-out buildings, gutted shops and homeless residents. And
:02:42. > :02:46.there are fresh outbreaks of violence not far from here. This
:02:46. > :02:52.was the London borough of Hackney this evening, youths clashing with
:02:52. > :02:56.the police, attacking squad cars and shop fronts. This is the third
:02:56. > :03:02.night of such scenes in the capital. In Tottenham, the flashpoint on
:03:02. > :03:12.Saturday night, this was the remains of a building which had
:03:12. > :03:16.housed 26 families. It was just, get away from the burning building.
:03:16. > :03:21.This lady lived there. She is now homeless, with nothing but her
:03:21. > :03:26.handbag and a few clothes. There was another neighbour trying to get
:03:26. > :03:32.out of the building, in such a panic. And then we got outside and
:03:32. > :03:36.saw the building, with flames going up the building. It was just black
:03:36. > :03:43.smoke billowing down from the corner of the high road. 10 minutes
:03:43. > :03:48.longer in that building, and we would have been dead. And what
:03:48. > :03:55.makes me utterly sick to the bone is that, as we were trying to get
:03:55. > :04:03.out of that building alive, some stupid, selfish man, white guy with
:04:03. > :04:06.blond hair, was coming up, he obviously looted Carpet Right, and
:04:06. > :04:10.people were coming out with their robes over their shoulder, and he
:04:10. > :04:13.was laughing. Today, the Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, was in
:04:13. > :04:18.Tottenham to hear first hand from shopkeepers and residence. They
:04:18. > :04:24.were angry, they told him they had felt abandoned on Saturday night.
:04:24. > :04:33.Can I ask you, is this always going to happen now because of the cuts?
:04:33. > :04:36.No, I don't think so. Why weren't we protected? We left the flat as
:04:36. > :04:40.the rioters were coming up the road, the buildings were on fire, and we
:04:40. > :04:45.did not see one policeman. The fire engines could not be there because
:04:45. > :04:48.the police were not there to protect them. On Sunday, even as
:04:48. > :04:53.the residents of Tottenham were counting the cost of the previous
:04:53. > :04:57.night, the violence had spread to Enfield, some four miles away. This
:04:57. > :05:02.time the police were decisive, and the violence didn't escalate. Other
:05:02. > :05:06.parts of London were affected, too. In Brixton, shops were broken into.
:05:06. > :05:11.More than 100 people were arrested across the capital. The Home
:05:11. > :05:16.Secretary, Theresa May, cut short her holiday to return to the UK.
:05:16. > :05:20.Let's be absolutely clear, there is no excuse for violence or looting,
:05:20. > :05:26.there is no excuse for thuggery. The police will deal with any
:05:26. > :05:30.emergency situations as they consider most appropriate. But I am
:05:30. > :05:37.absolutely clear there is no excuse for looters or thuggery or violence
:05:37. > :05:42.on the streets. It was the police's shooting of a local man which
:05:42. > :05:48.preceded the violence in Tottenham. Today, police admitted
:05:48. > :05:50.relationships with his family could have been better handled. I have
:05:50. > :05:56.spoken to the community representatives. We have had
:05:56. > :06:00.meetings. Actually, we should have helped the IPCC get closer to the
:06:00. > :06:04.family of Mr Duggan more quickly. Tonight, amid fresh outbreaks of
:06:05. > :06:08.trouble, it seems the violence has developed a life of its own, far
:06:08. > :06:12.removed from the original cause of the disturbance on Saturday. The
:06:12. > :06:17.Mayor of London has announced in the past half-an-hour that he is
:06:17. > :06:20.cutting short his holiday to return to London. Here in Tottenham, a
:06:20. > :06:26.bulldozer has arrived to begin the process of demolishing the building
:06:26. > :06:33.which has stood here for 80 years. In a short time, there will be a
:06:33. > :06:37.vigil, and an expression of hope So what is behind the violence
:06:37. > :06:39.we've seen in the past 48 hours? It started with the fatal shooting by
:06:39. > :06:42.police of a local man in Tottenham. Our special correspondent Razia
:06:42. > :06:49.Iqbal has been talking to residents in North London about the
:06:49. > :06:54.underlying tensions that have come to the boil.
:06:54. > :06:58.The aftermath of burning, looting and destruction. The grim reality
:06:58. > :07:02.of the havoc unleashed by a few, resulting in the heart of this
:07:02. > :07:09.suburb being severely trashed. The shock of it makes some just stop
:07:09. > :07:13.and stare. For others, this is all too reminiscent of scenes 26 years
:07:14. > :07:17.ago, on the Broadwater Farm estate, when some of the worst riots seen
:07:17. > :07:22.in England erupted after a woman suffered a fatal stroke after a
:07:22. > :07:27.police raid on her home. Then, race relations, poverty and community
:07:27. > :07:30.policing were blamed. Now, some say it is lack of opportunity,
:07:30. > :07:34.particularly for the young. Most youngsters look at it and say, what
:07:34. > :07:38.are we going to have when we're older? If they are not going to
:07:38. > :07:44.have nothing, why not go and get it ourselves? They need that help,
:07:44. > :07:49.they need that direction. Despite considerable investment since the
:07:49. > :07:53.1980s, Tottenham were Baines poor and socially deprived. No-one we
:07:53. > :07:57.spoke to today condoned the violence, but many understood some
:07:57. > :08:01.of the reasons behind it. Britain is still systemically racist.
:08:01. > :08:06.Relations between the police and the black community are still by
:08:06. > :08:09.and large bad. They have tried to improve them, but they are bad.
:08:09. > :08:14.Before the weekend, many in this community thought Tottenham was a
:08:14. > :08:18.more hopeful place than it had been in 1985. But just as many say the
:08:18. > :08:23.fundamental issues of poverty and hopelessness have not been tackled.
:08:23. > :08:27.It only takes one flashpoint to expose deep fault-lines. Criticism
:08:27. > :08:31.of the delayed police response over the weekend just adds to the
:08:31. > :08:36.feeling that relations between the police and the African-Caribbean
:08:36. > :08:40.community in particular remain problematic. The way they do stop
:08:40. > :08:46.and search, the way they attack, I would say, the kids, the youth, in
:08:46. > :08:49.the areas, is ridiculous. This is what needs to come through, the
:08:49. > :08:54.frustration from the youth, it has because of the way they dealt with
:08:54. > :08:58.by the police. They are angry with the police. As politicians decide
:08:58. > :09:01.how to respond, the people in this part of London are absorbing the
:09:01. > :09:07.enormity of what has happened to their neighbourhood.
:09:07. > :09:13.Our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly, is at New Scotland Yard.
:09:13. > :09:18.There are even more police out on the streets tonight - what is the
:09:18. > :09:22.latest? This is a difficult time for Scotland Yard. It is just three
:09:22. > :09:26.weeks since the Commissioner and his deputy resigned. The man
:09:26. > :09:29.currently at the helm, the acting commissioner, paid tribute to the
:09:29. > :09:33.officers who have been out on the streets over the past couple of
:09:33. > :09:37.nights. 35 officers have been injured. Tonight they are facing
:09:37. > :09:41.fresh challenges in Hackney, where we know there are disturbances.
:09:41. > :09:45.Police are trying to get officers there in large numbers. We're also
:09:45. > :09:50.getting reports of trouble in Lewisham in south London. We're
:09:50. > :09:55.told that tonight the Met will have 30% more officers on the street
:09:55. > :09:59.than last night. The Met have been criticised over events in Tottenham
:09:59. > :10:04.at the weekend, criticised for their slow response. Here, they say
:10:04. > :10:08.they were not on the back foot, it was just a failure of intelligence.
:10:08. > :10:12.They say a peaceful march simply degenerated into violence. Just as
:10:12. > :10:15.a footnote, obviously, social networking sides have played a big
:10:15. > :10:19.part in events over the past few days. Today there was a warning
:10:19. > :10:27.from senior police officers that anybody inciting violence using
:10:27. > :10:30.social networking sides could face Stock markets have fallen in London,
:10:30. > :10:32.across Europe and in the United States, despite efforts to calm the
:10:32. > :10:35.markets. Investors appear to lack confidence in attempts by world
:10:35. > :10:45.leaders and the European Central Bank to bring stability to the
:10:45. > :10:51.eurozone. Our business editor, Robert Peston, has the story.
:10:52. > :10:56.The ringing the bell for more investor misery. Shares on Wall
:10:56. > :11:01.Street fell, hard on the heels of a similar falls in Asia and Europe.
:11:01. > :11:05.But these declines are the symptom, not the cause. This is where Royal
:11:05. > :11:09.Bank of Scotland trades not shares, but debt. It is in places like this
:11:09. > :11:13.that this great drama is being played out. The financial crisis is
:11:13. > :11:18.all about the growing doubts over whether the governments of giant
:11:18. > :11:21.economies like Italy, Spain, even economies like Italy, Spain, even
:11:21. > :11:26.the US, can repay all their debt. What you can see here, the rising
:11:26. > :11:28.cost of borrowing for the Spanish and Italian governments, is
:11:28. > :11:32.investors saying they are increasingly worried about lending
:11:32. > :11:36.to those countries. Today there has been a sharp fall in the interest
:11:36. > :11:40.rates paid by those governments. That is because this body, the
:11:40. > :11:43.European Central Bank, has taken the historic decision to buy
:11:43. > :11:46.Italian and Spanish bonds, an Italian and Spanish bonds, an
:11:46. > :11:50.indirect way of lending to those countries.
:11:50. > :11:54.This is exactly what the markets were looking for, somebody trying
:11:54. > :11:58.to stabilise the bond yields of Spain and Italy. These countries
:11:58. > :12:02.are too big to bail out. European central bank is owned by
:12:02. > :12:06.the passengers on the tram outside the office, and the other people of
:12:06. > :12:12.the eurozone. So how much financial risk are the Germans and the French
:12:12. > :12:16.taking? It is about 2.5 billion Euros each day, which could
:12:16. > :12:20.potentially add up to a big number, around 800 billion euros of
:12:20. > :12:27.sovereign debt from Spain and Italy. American investors have been blue,
:12:27. > :12:33.too. That is since Standard and Poor's took the decision, seeing as
:12:33. > :12:38.many -- seen by many as shocking, to downgrade their credit rating.
:12:38. > :12:42.It shows terrible judgment. They have handled themselves very poorly,
:12:42. > :12:46.showing a stunning lack of knowledge about the US. I think
:12:46. > :12:50.they drew exactly the wrong conclusion. The big story for many
:12:50. > :12:55.is that governments, households, banks and businesses of the Western
:12:55. > :12:59.economies, including the UK, have borrowed far more than is prudent,
:12:59. > :13:08.and in pain down the debt, there is less spending and investment, so
:13:08. > :13:15.economic growth slows to a trickle. Commodities such as oil have been
:13:15. > :13:20.falling, too. So, here's a silver lining - if you for the driver, the
:13:20. > :13:24.price of petrol and other essentials could come down. You
:13:24. > :13:30.have to wonder what more can be done, Stephanie Flanders... As we
:13:30. > :13:33.were hearing, there's two big concerns, there's the strength of
:13:33. > :13:37.the dollar's recovery, which is so crucial for all of us, and also
:13:37. > :13:40.what is ultimately going to happen in the eurozone. I think investors
:13:40. > :13:45.are looking at these issues and wondering what governments have
:13:45. > :13:47.left to throw at them. In the case of the US, we have a big
:13:47. > :13:52.disagreement between Congress and the President, it is not likely
:13:52. > :13:56.that they will be able to throw much more at the problem. And the
:13:56. > :14:01.central bank in America also has less room for manoeuvre. If you
:14:01. > :14:04.look at the eurozone, we have got this very short-term solution today,
:14:04. > :14:08.with the European central bank buying this debt, but in the long
:14:08. > :14:13.term, most people think we will need to have Germany agreeing to
:14:13. > :14:17.stand behind these debts, and may be a much bigger bail-out facility.
:14:17. > :14:21.Nobody is expecting to see this any time soon. So it is a question of
:14:21. > :14:31.how we can get through this investor malaise, a malaise which
:14:31. > :14:33.
:14:33. > :14:41.And there's more on the crisis and what it might mean for you in a
:14:41. > :14:43.Crime in rural areas has risen dramatically in the past two years,
:14:43. > :14:45.according to new figures from an insurance company. They estimate

:19:39. > :19:42.diamonds since 1875. They're very established and proper. I'm going
:19:43. > :19:48.to ask them if they or any High Street jewellery, for that matter,
:19:48. > :19:52.knows where the diamonds come from. There are sanctions in place that

:21:04. > :21:08.one of the main recruiting grounds for the The Argyll and Sutherland
:21:08. > :21:13.Highlanders. Soldiers from the battalion returned in April after a
:21:13. > :21:18.six-month tour of duty. During that tour, it's claimed this abuse took
:21:18. > :21:22.place. It's alleged one soldier chopped the fingers off dead
:21:22. > :21:27.Taliban fighters as some kind of gruesome souvenir. We don't know
:21:27. > :21:30.the soldier's name, rank or age. We don't know whether or not they've
:21:30. > :21:33.been suspended. It's thought if they are found guilty of
:21:33. > :21:37.desecrating a body, they could be detained, dismissed or demoted from
:21:37. > :21:40.their position in the Army. An investigation is still ongoing, but
:21:40. > :21:50.the Ministry of Defence say they take these allegations very
:21:50. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:01.seriously. Carol Vorderman's report found the current system is failing
:22:01. > :22:11.young peming with almost half of all 16-year-olds failing to get
:22:11. > :22:29.
:22:29. > :22:34.grade C at GCSE level. Our Carol Vorderman says there should
:22:34. > :22:39.be two GCSE exams, run on arithmetic and the other on
:22:39. > :22:44.geometry. Maths is the killer subject always. Even those with a
:22:45. > :22:51.GCSE at grade C approximately three quarters of them, so the colleges
:22:51. > :22:56.are telling us, still cannot calculate fractions and percentages.
:22:56. > :23:00.# Maths, glorious maths... # While effort is put into making
:23:00. > :23:03.maths fun at trinity primary, Carol Vorderman says teachers require
:23:03. > :23:11.more knowledge of the subject. Teaching unions point out that
:23:11. > :23:15.means money and training. Many of the teachers coming in, say to us
:23:16. > :23:19.where they need more training it would be in the field of maths.
:23:19. > :23:24.this summer school at Imperial College, the engineers of the
:23:24. > :23:31.future, are getting access to experts who know why maths matters.
:23:31. > :23:35.Practical maths is everywhere. If these students vent -- haven't done
:23:35. > :23:40.calculations right when it comes to volume and area, the shelter won't
:23:40. > :23:44.stand up. Have you done it correctly? Yes. Are you sure it
:23:44. > :23:48.won't fall down? Yes. Government welcomes the report but
:23:48. > :23:54.say there are no plans to make maths compulsory up to the age of
:23:54. > :23:58.Now, it runs on its own track and is guaranteed not to get stuck in
:23:58. > :24:01.traffic. The world's longest guided busway route has just opened in
:24:01. > :24:05.Cambridgeshire. It's hoped the service will ease congestion.
:24:05. > :24:10.Critics of the scheme, which cost more than �100 million and opened
:24:10. > :24:16.two years late, claimed journey times won't be cut. Richard Scott
:24:16. > :24:18.is in St Ives now. We're at one end of the guided
:24:18. > :24:22.busway. Cambridge is about 12 miles in that direction. That's where
:24:22. > :24:28.this bus has come from. If you did that journey by car, on the roads,
:24:28. > :24:31.at the height of rush hour, it would probably take about 60
:24:31. > :24:37.minutes. By bus it's about 20 minutes. Despite that, opponents
:24:37. > :24:41.say it's the misguided busway. Welcome to Cambridge. For many who
:24:41. > :24:49.work in the city, their first task of the day is to sit in traffic.
:24:49. > :24:54.This is part of the city solution, it might look like an ordinary bus,
:24:54. > :24:58.but it has a trick up its sleeve. It's a guided busway. Wheels on the
:24:58. > :25:03.side of the bus keep it locked to the track bypassing the congestion
:25:03. > :25:06.on the A14. Now this stretch of the guided busway is 12 miles long.
:25:06. > :25:11.There are stops at various points along the route for communities and
:25:11. > :25:15.park and ride schemes. But one aspect which might take a bit of
:25:15. > :25:20.getting used to is the driver doesn't have to keep his hands on
:25:20. > :25:26.the wheel. We looked at all the options. This came out by fart most
:25:26. > :25:34.sensible option and the most sensible way forward. This will get
:25:34. > :25:39.you onto a reliable service. route follows a disused rail line.
:25:39. > :25:43.Opponents thought it would be better to reinstate that instead.
:25:43. > :25:52.The council thinks it's a good idea to cover the route in concrete,
:25:52. > :25:56.costing in excess of �100 million. The journey end to end is no faster
:25:57. > :26:01.than existing bus services. It's the public who will use the busway.
:26:01. > :26:06.We asked what they thought. I think it's fabulous. Why? It's long
:26:06. > :26:11.overdue. We're not coming down the A14. It's going to be into
:26:11. > :26:14.Cambridge, you know, in a lovely countryside. It's beautiful. What
:26:14. > :26:19.if one of the buses breaks down and you're in the bus behind, how do
:26:19. > :26:23.you get off? The council says buses can divert onto normal roads to go
:26:23. > :26:26.around any break downs, which trains can't do. Other cities will
:26:26. > :26:32.be watching now to see how successful this is and whether they
:26:32. > :26:37.should follow suit. There are already shorter bus ways
:26:37. > :26:40.in use in Leeds and Bradford as well as a bigger scheme planned for
:26:40. > :26:45.Leigh to Manchester. People involved with that scheme will be
:26:45. > :26:48.watching to see how well this does. Let's get the latest weather now
:26:48. > :26:51.with Matt. It may be August, but a distinct
:26:51. > :26:55.chill in the air for some of you tonight. Whilst most of you will
:26:55. > :27:01.have a dry night, one or two will have a dry night, one or two will
:27:01. > :27:05.see heavy showers. The heaviest of the showers are across Yorkshire,
:27:05. > :27:08.Lincolnshire. The risk of minor flooding here. It fades away during
:27:08. > :27:14.the night. Showers continue continue around the north and west.
:27:14. > :27:17.For most it's a dry night and chilly as I mention. Eight to 12
:27:17. > :27:23.degrees in towns and cities. In Scotland, you could be waking up to
:27:23. > :27:27.temperatures of four or five degrees tomorrow morning. Most
:27:27. > :27:30.start on a dry and bright note on Tuesday. We could showers running
:27:31. > :27:36.through the north channel, affecting the South West of
:27:36. > :27:43.Scotland, eastern parts of Northern Ireland, Isle of Man into Liverpool
:27:43. > :27:46.pal -- bay and the Midlands. It should be a reasonably sunny start.
:27:46. > :27:50.Most hold onto the sunshine through the day. Sunny spells through the
:27:50. > :27:54.afternoon, showers in the west easing, one or two close to the
:27:54. > :27:58.east. For most it's a dry afternoon. Whilst temperatures similar to
:27:58. > :28:02.today's 18 to 20 degrees it's warmer with winds lighter. Tuesday
:28:02. > :28:05.will be last of the dry days this week. This area of low pressure in
:28:05. > :28:08.the Atlantic is big enough to extend its influence through
:28:09. > :28:12.Tuesday night into Wednesday. Rain spreading in through Northern
:28:12. > :28:16.Ireland, Scotland and northern England. Areas with saturated
:28:16. > :28:21.ground and high river levels. We'll keep an eye on that. The rain
:28:21. > :28:24.across western areas. The far north of Scotland and England and Wales
:28:24. > :28:29.predominantly dry. We drag in milder winds. Into Thursday we hold

:28:40. > :28:44.Tonight's main news: More violence on the streets of London tonight.
:28:45. > :28:48.This is the scene live in Hackney in the east of the city, where
