:00:10. > :00:15.An emergency session of parliament. The Prime Minister calls this
:00:15. > :00:18.week's riots criminality not seen for decades. Hunting down the
:00:18. > :00:23.rioters one by one. Officers make more arrests as David Cameron
:00:23. > :00:27.pledges whatever it takes to restore law and order. We will
:00:27. > :00:31.track you down, we will find you, we will charge you, we will punish
:00:31. > :00:35.you. You will pay for what you have done. Today as the House of Commons
:00:35. > :00:38.we stand shoulder to shoulder, united against the vandalism and
:00:38. > :00:42.violence we have seen on our streets.
:00:42. > :00:47.New pictures emerge of rioters on the offensive. There's criticism of
:00:47. > :00:50.the police tactics when the trouble started. A 12-year-old boy is
:00:50. > :00:57.sentenced in Manchester, half of those appearing in the London
:00:57. > :01:00.courts are under 18. Mugged by rye rioters pretending to help him, a
:01:00. > :01:08.student from Malaysia speaks for the first time about his attackers.
:01:08. > :01:13.I felt sorry for them, but it was really sad because amongst them
:01:14. > :01:18.they were children. It was very sad. Also tonight: Dangerous times for
:01:18. > :01:21.the global economy, the Chancellor says it's facing its toughest test
:01:21. > :01:24.since the banking crisis three years ago. Why cigarettes pose more
:01:24. > :01:28.of a health risk for women than for men.
:01:28. > :01:33.And heading for the top of the world. England dominate India at
:01:33. > :01:37.Edgbaston as they close in on the world number one ranking.
:01:37. > :01:41.In sport: As the Premier League starts this weekend the opening
:01:41. > :01:51.fixtures are largely untouched. The only match postponed is between
:01:51. > :02:04.
:02:04. > :02:10.Spurs and Everton because of the Good evening and welcome to the BBC
:02:10. > :02:13.News at Six. We're at Westminster, where MPs are sitting right now in
:02:13. > :02:17.emergency session after the worst riots on England's streets for
:02:17. > :02:23.decades. The Prime Minister blamed a culture that glorified violence,
:02:23. > :02:27.and pledged to do whatever it takes to restore law and order. He had a
:02:27. > :02:30.message for the rioters: You will pay for what you have done. Ed
:02:30. > :02:33.Miliband said Labour stood shoulder to shoulder with the Government.
:02:33. > :02:37.But there was criticism of the initial police response to the
:02:37. > :02:41.violence. Tonight, we will have the latest on the riots, it's courts
:02:41. > :02:49.and the victims. Our political editor Nick Robinson has our first
:02:49. > :02:53.report on the day parliament was recalled.
:02:53. > :02:58.A smash and grab raid in south London. Today, though, it was the
:02:58. > :03:02.police doing it, with the cameras invited along to witness a suspect
:03:02. > :03:08.being hauled in. They and their political Masters want the message
:03:08. > :03:12.to go out that the streets of Britain are back under control.
:03:12. > :03:15.the law-abiding people who play by the rules and are the overwhelming
:03:15. > :03:18.majority in our country I say the fightback has begun. We will
:03:18. > :03:23.protect you. If you have had your property damaged we will compensate
:03:23. > :03:27.you. We are on your side. And to the lawless minority, the criminals
:03:27. > :03:31.who have taken what they can get, I say this: We will track you down,
:03:31. > :03:35.we will find you, we will charge you, we will punish you. You will
:03:35. > :03:39.pay for what you have done. packed House of Commons spoke as
:03:39. > :03:46.one during this special emergency session. Almost as if the country
:03:46. > :03:49.was at war. Whatever we disagree on week by week month by month, today
:03:49. > :03:54.as a House of Commons we stand shoulder to shoulder, united
:03:54. > :03:59.against the vandalism and violence we have seen on our streets. There
:03:59. > :04:05.can be no excuses. No justification. This behaviour has disgusted us all,
:04:05. > :04:09.it cannot be allowed to stand. We will not allow it to stand.
:04:09. > :04:12.bravery of individual police officers caught up in the violence
:04:12. > :04:16.was praised on all sides but there was widespread criticism of their
:04:17. > :04:20.bosses' decisions, tactics and the numbers on the street. What became
:04:20. > :04:25.increasingly clear earlier this week was that there was simply far
:04:25. > :04:27.too few police deployed on to our streets and the tactics they were
:04:28. > :04:32.using weren't working. Police chiefs have been frank with me
:04:32. > :04:35.about why this happened. Initially the police treated the situation
:04:35. > :04:39.too much as a public order issue, rather than essentially one of
:04:39. > :04:44.crime. The Prime Minister said that in future combating gangs would be
:04:44. > :04:47.a national priority. Police powers to remove face masks will be
:04:47. > :04:52.extended and discussions were under way to limit the use of the
:04:52. > :04:55.internet and instant messaging to co-ordinate criminal conspiracies.
:04:55. > :05:00.The week Britain would rather forget began in Tottenham on
:05:00. > :05:06.Saturday. Today the MP for the area spelt out the anger of his
:05:06. > :05:09.constituents. 45 people have lost their homes in Tottenham, burnt to
:05:09. > :05:15.the ground, running out of their homes carrying their children in
:05:15. > :05:19.their arms, and their cry is where were the police? In Croydon on
:05:19. > :05:24.Monday they were asking the very same question. According to the
:05:24. > :05:28.local MP, who said his constituency had become a war zone. I plead with
:05:28. > :05:31.the Prime Minister on behalf of my constituents to think again about
:05:31. > :05:36.police numbers, because the people of Croydon, the people of London
:05:36. > :05:41.want more police in London and not fewer. Salford's MP said that on
:05:41. > :05:45.Tuesday there were too few police and too many under orders not to
:05:45. > :05:49.intervene. Will the Prime Minister give his full backing to the police
:05:49. > :05:52.to intervene in these circumstances because it was the case that some
:05:52. > :05:56.officers had instructions where they didn't have riot gear, where
:05:56. > :06:00.they weren't trained that they had to stand by and watch what happened.
:06:00. > :06:05.The effect on public confidence is devastating. The Prime Minister
:06:05. > :06:08.said that 16,000 police officers would be kept on the streets of
:06:09. > :06:13.London tonight and throughout the weekend. The problem he insists is
:06:13. > :06:18.not future cuts, but present policies which keep officers stuck
:06:18. > :06:22.in their offices. I can make this very clear pledge to the House, at
:06:22. > :06:26.the end of this process of making sure our police budgets are
:06:26. > :06:30.affordable we will still be able to surge as many police on to the
:06:30. > :06:34.streets as we have in recent days in London, in Wolverhampton, in
:06:35. > :06:40.Manchester. One by one officers are identifying those they believe
:06:40. > :06:47.should be brought to justice. Today, politicians united to condemn this
:06:47. > :06:50.week's violence. But they divided on the future of the police.
:06:50. > :06:54.In the last hour police have arrested three more people in
:06:54. > :06:58.connection with the deaths of three men killed while protecting
:06:58. > :07:01.property in Birmingham during the riots. So far, 1,500 people have
:07:01. > :07:06.been arrested across England. Half of those appearing in court in
:07:06. > :07:10.London are under 18 and in Manchester a 12-year-old boy was
:07:10. > :07:15.among those sentenced today. Our correspondent Chris Buckler is
:07:15. > :07:23.there for us tonight. There is a genuine sense this
:07:23. > :07:30.evening of Manchester returning to normal. It's not full of rioters as
:07:30. > :07:39.it was on Tuesday but for some the true impact SOUND PROBLEMS. Those
:07:39. > :07:42.who got caught up in the violence and now facing the courts.
:07:42. > :07:46.Court and not even a teenager, we can't identify this boy because he
:07:46. > :07:51.is only 12 years old, but today he was given a nine-month referral
:07:51. > :07:54.order after he admitted looting in Manchester. And his parents are
:07:54. > :08:02.being held responsible for the sins of their child. His mother
:08:02. > :08:06.criticised by the magistrates. BLEEP. We are not BLEEP.
:08:06. > :08:10.Nottingham an 11-year-old girl pleaded guilty to criminal damage.
:08:10. > :08:16.She only left primary school last month and smirked as she was asked
:08:17. > :08:21.to apologise. They're just two of the many people appearing in courts
:08:21. > :08:25.after evenings spent stealing and vandalising in cities across
:08:25. > :08:29.England. But some parents say they were powerless to stop it. I can't
:08:30. > :08:35.tie him to a bed, I am not allowed to. I can't hit him, I am not
:08:35. > :08:39.allowed to. I can't lock him in his room, I am not allowed to. CCTV
:08:39. > :08:43.pictures have been used as evidence in many cases. This store's cameras
:08:43. > :08:48.capturing the sheer numbers in this one robbery alone. The owners are
:08:48. > :08:51.going to rebuild the business, but they say only seriously punishing
:08:51. > :08:54.those responsible will stop it happening again. If you were here
:08:54. > :08:57.at 10.00pm at night looting you weren't caught up in the moment,
:08:57. > :09:00.you didn't happen to be in the city centre of Manchester, you made a
:09:00. > :09:05.point of coming into town. You may have been caught up, sorry, you
:09:05. > :09:09.came in. Here in Manchester City centre centre there are still many
:09:09. > :09:12.windows boarded and property damaged, as for the police, here
:09:12. > :09:17.and elsewhere they're still trying to identify all of those
:09:17. > :09:21.responsible. Across England so far more than 1,500 people have been
:09:21. > :09:26.arrested. Over 600 have already appeared before courts. There are
:09:26. > :09:31.also warnings those convicted could lose their right to a council house.
:09:31. > :09:34.We do have the power to evict people who are guilty of criminal
:09:34. > :09:39.or anti- social behaviour within the city. The only question I am
:09:39. > :09:42.asking... You are not asking another. At another house, another
:09:42. > :09:46.upset family, a 17-year-old lives here, he is awaiting sentence after
:09:46. > :09:50.admitting to looting. I don't like the riots, but that's nothing to do
:09:50. > :09:53.with this coming here. Anthony Lloyd... Get yourself off this
:09:53. > :09:59.bleeding property. He is a member of your family and he is in jail
:09:59. > :10:04.for these riots. Listen... Don't worry about it. He who is without
:10:04. > :10:08.sin cast the first stone so BLEEP off. The police insist there will
:10:08. > :10:11.be other families, finding their loved ones going to prison. They're
:10:11. > :10:17.still studying many faces of those thought to have been a part of this
:10:17. > :10:21.trouble. Within the last hour Manchester magistrates court closed
:10:21. > :10:24.but it's been busy all day and it was open last night. The Government
:10:25. > :10:29.is determined to deal with what they've described as this culture
:10:29. > :10:32.of fear and so are the police here. Of course, the shops, they're
:10:32. > :10:36.determined as well to get back to normal. You will see they've taken
:10:36. > :10:39.the boards down. They hope these riots have come to an end and that
:10:39. > :10:46.the punishment dealt dealt out by the courts will be enough to deter
:10:46. > :10:52.it from ever happening again. Thank you. Nick rob has joined me
:10:52. > :10:56.now -- Nick Robinho has joined me - - Robinson has joined me today.
:10:56. > :11:00.was bizarre in many ways, normally here in August there's scarcely a
:11:00. > :11:03.politician here, let's be honest I am very rarely here in August. Yet,
:11:04. > :11:07.it was a packed House of Commons. The Prime Minister took questions,
:11:07. > :11:11.not for the usual hour, more than two and a half hours, it's the
:11:11. > :11:17.longest Prime Ministerial statement that anybody can remember. There
:11:17. > :11:20.was an atmosphere of unity about it. I said it felt like a war-time
:11:20. > :11:24.statement and is it did. This was a statement made on the morning after
:11:24. > :11:28.the conflict on Britain's streets appeared for now at least to have
:11:28. > :11:32.halted. All sides were careful to pay tribute to the police and what
:11:32. > :11:36.they've had to do but there was also criticism. It's becoming the
:11:36. > :11:39.political battle ground. Once the unity has gone and peace has
:11:39. > :11:45.returned to the streets this is what we will see in the months
:11:45. > :11:49.ahead. On the one hand Labour, not just it's leader, but MPs said we
:11:49. > :11:53.need more police, not fewer. David Cameron says look the problem is
:11:53. > :11:57.not cuts in the future, it's present police policies of keeping
:11:57. > :12:01.too many people behind the scenes. It's a row that will carry on and
:12:01. > :12:04.will be awkward. The Government is desperate on a day day there was
:12:04. > :12:08.also a statement by the Chancellor about the economy, not to reopen
:12:08. > :12:12.any Whitehall budget because they say they haven't the cash to do it
:12:12. > :12:16.but the pressure will be immense. It's coming privately from Tory MPs
:12:16. > :12:19.as well as publicly from Labour. Just a brief last thought, Ed
:12:19. > :12:26.Miliband called for an inquiry, the Prime Minister said he didn't want
:12:26. > :12:31.one. The debate about the causes of this scarcely bebegan today, it
:12:31. > :12:35.will soon. Thank you. Today senior MPs pledged to hold an inquiry into
:12:35. > :12:38.what caused the riots when they return in the autumn. The violence
:12:38. > :12:44.began after a peaceful protest about the shooting by police of a
:12:44. > :12:47.man in Tottenham last Saturday. Our home editor Mark Easton has spent
:12:47. > :12:54.the day in Tottenham to talk to locals about what they think lies
:12:54. > :12:57.behind the riots. Where the madness began, Tottenham High Road trying
:12:57. > :13:01.to make sense of what happened on Saturday, what was going through
:13:01. > :13:05.the heads of those who burned and robbed their own community. Was it
:13:05. > :13:08.grievance or greed? They're just showing the Government that they
:13:08. > :13:13.took it too far now, that people are trying to stand up for
:13:13. > :13:15.themselves. These lads dripping with designer status symbols show
:13:15. > :13:19.the frustration of young men who feel excluded from the consumer
:13:19. > :13:23.society they care so much about. Do you think anything happened on
:13:23. > :13:27.Saturday night was justifiable, do you think any of the things were a
:13:27. > :13:31.real protest against the system? Yeah. I think that was a real -
:13:31. > :13:36.that was the best protest that happened. Ever happened. Ever.
:13:36. > :13:39.protest ever. The copycat violence may have been no more than tunism
:13:39. > :13:43.but in Tottenham there's a widespread view that while
:13:43. > :13:46.unacceptable, the Prime Minister is wrong to say the unrest was gang-
:13:46. > :13:50.related criminality pure and simple. I have heard a lot of people say
:13:50. > :13:55.how can people destroy their own community, but I don't think some
:13:55. > :13:58.of the people that have been doing the extreme violence feel part of
:13:58. > :14:05.the community. I think that they have been disengaged from us for a
:14:05. > :14:08.very long time. A jeweller whose business was trashed took issue
:14:08. > :14:12.with that argument. I am not here to defend... Some people are trying
:14:12. > :14:15.to say because youths are being checked by police they've been
:14:15. > :14:20.searched by police, they have to be searched. This is what we are
:14:20. > :14:24.trying to explore here. Putting masks on their faces. Two responses
:14:24. > :14:27.of people I have met here, one is David Cameron is right, it is about
:14:27. > :14:32.discipline, about personal responsibility, about parenting.
:14:32. > :14:36.But the other is that there are underlining social and economic
:14:36. > :14:45.factors which if unaddressed will make further unrest an
:14:45. > :14:50.inevitability. Franklin Boateng is an entrepreneur and mentor in
:14:50. > :14:54.Tottenham, furious of the effects the rioting will have. Most of the
:14:54. > :15:01.people had these things already, the trainers and the nice �100
:15:01. > :15:04.jeans, so... This isn't about deprivation or racism. It's not.
:15:04. > :15:08.It's basically, sometimes it's about senseless violence.
:15:08. > :15:12.OutWardley there is a determination to move on but privately this is a
:15:12. > :15:22.community anxious that the root causes of Saturday night's insanity
:15:22. > :15:27.
:15:27. > :15:31.won't be addressed by tough sound The other main news tonight: The
:15:31. > :15:36.Chancellor, George Osborne, says the global financial situation is
:15:36. > :15:40.at its most dangerous since the banking crisis three years ago. He
:15:40. > :15:45.insists Britain is still a safe haven compared with other economies
:15:45. > :15:49.around the world. He said Britain's recovery would be longer and harder
:15:49. > :15:53.than hoped but said Britain's -- Britain must stick to the austerity
:15:53. > :15:59.measures. These are extraordinary times in
:15:59. > :16:02.the markets with the global shares plunged beginning last week. We are
:16:02. > :16:07.interrupting our regular programme because the closing bell is just
:16:07. > :16:11.ringing now. Fears of governments defaulting on debts and a possible
:16:11. > :16:16.second recession have scared investors. Troubled waters for
:16:16. > :16:21.every major economy but the Chancellor told MPs the UK was a
:16:21. > :16:24.safe port in the storm. George Osborne acknowledged life would be
:16:24. > :16:29.difficult for a while. A whole world recognises that the huge
:16:29. > :16:33.overhang of debt means the recovery will take longer and be harder than
:16:33. > :16:39.hope. Markets are waking up to this fact and this is what makes this
:16:39. > :16:43.the most dangerous time for the global economy since 2008. He said
:16:43. > :16:48.his deficit-cutting plan would secure the future. These bold steps
:16:48. > :16:52.have made Britain the safe haven in the sovereign debt storm.
:16:52. > :16:56.Labour through those words back at the Chancellor. Families and
:16:56. > :17:01.businesses deeply worried about their jobs and mortgages will hear
:17:01. > :17:05.the Chancellor's talk of safe havens and conclude he is either
:17:05. > :17:10.deeply complacent or in complete denial at what is going on in our
:17:10. > :17:13.country. Whatever is said over there in Parliament, the success of
:17:13. > :17:18.the Chancellor's strategy will depend on what goes on a long way
:17:18. > :17:21.from here out in the real economy. There has not been much economic
:17:21. > :17:25.growth over the last nine months and he will need more of it if he
:17:25. > :17:29.is going to pull in the tax revenues to help bring down the
:17:29. > :17:33.deficit. Companies like this are still weaving their way through a
:17:33. > :17:37.challenging economic landscape. It designs and markets home
:17:37. > :17:41.furnishings. The boss is not convinced by the Chancellor's
:17:41. > :17:45.recovery plan. There is no confidence are there. While we
:17:45. > :17:49.accept they have to be austerity measures and cuts, you have also
:17:49. > :17:54.got to encourage growth and at the moment, nothing the government is
:17:54. > :17:58.doing is fuelling a growth. Chancellor says he is implementing
:17:58. > :18:04.an ambitious growth strategy. Son says he needs to convince companies
:18:04. > :18:07.he really means business. Our top story tonight: The Prime
:18:08. > :18:12.Minister tells an emergency session of parliament that the police will
:18:12. > :18:18.track down the rioters as he pledges to restore law and order.
:18:18. > :18:21.Coming up: Mugged by rioters as he lay injured on the street, the

:18:45. > :18:51.If you are a woman and you smoke, your health is at greater risk than
:18:51. > :18:54.a man's. Researchers examined more than 2 million people found smoking
:18:54. > :18:59.increased a woman's chances of developing heart disease
:18:59. > :19:03.significantly more. One explanation could be that women absorb more of
:19:03. > :19:07.the toxic chemicals in cigarette than mended.
:19:07. > :19:11.Smoking takes a terrible toll on women's health. We already know
:19:11. > :19:15.female smokers have a bigger risk of lung cancer than men. It now
:19:15. > :19:19.seems cigarettes do more harm to their hearts as well, more than
:19:19. > :19:26.doubling their odds of having a heart attack. Chris Lynch had no
:19:26. > :19:29.idea of her risk. She had a heart attack when she was 50. Doctors
:19:29. > :19:33.said cigarettes were to blame. said pure and simple the reason we
:19:33. > :19:37.had a heart attack was because you smoked. There is no other reason.
:19:38. > :19:45.If you want to remain fit and healthy and hang around for another

:19:53. > :19:57.At Hammersmith Hospital they see the impact smoking has on women
:19:58. > :20:02.every day, more than doubling the risk of heart attack. It is one of
:20:02. > :20:06.the biggest killers. It is not entirely clear why smoking affects
:20:06. > :20:10.women more than men but it may be related to the fact that women are
:20:10. > :20:16.more susceptible to the carcinogenic effect of smoking and
:20:16. > :20:22.to the toxins associated with smoking. Cigarettes do serious harm
:20:22. > :20:27.to the cardiovascular system. Tobacco damages the artery linings
:20:27. > :20:34.and allows fatty material to build up. Carbon dioxide reduces the
:20:34. > :20:39.amount of oxygen your body can carry and nicotine makes the heart
:20:39. > :20:43.beat faster which raises blood pressure. A lot of cigarette
:20:43. > :20:47.marketing targets women. These brands are specifically designed to
:20:47. > :20:52.appeal to the female market. Rates of smoking are declining more
:20:52. > :20:57.slowly among women than men. At this clinic in Leeds, they see
:20:57. > :21:02.women every day struggling to kick the habit. Despite years of health
:21:02. > :21:07.warnings, a lot of women still do not realise how susceptible they
:21:07. > :21:11.are to the harm of cigarettes. Flooding has caused travelled
:21:11. > :21:15.destruction across Scotland after unusually heavy rain. Roads have
:21:15. > :21:20.been closed and trains cancelled in Glasgow during one of the wettest
:21:20. > :21:24.24 hours since records began. Homes and properties have been largely
:21:25. > :21:28.unaffected. There are 21 flood warnings in place from
:21:28. > :21:32.Aberdeenshire to the Borders. In two days, Scotland has had two
:21:32. > :21:35.thirds of its average August rainfall.
:21:35. > :21:41.Cricket now and England are on course to claim the world number
:21:41. > :21:51.one ranking. The home side are building a commanding lead against
:21:51. > :21:51.
:21:51. > :22:00.India helped by Alastair Cook. Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson
:22:00. > :22:07.reports from Birmingham. Sentry duty outside the cryptic --
:22:07. > :22:16.cricket. Who now come possibly come to the assistance of India. India's
:22:16. > :22:18.opening batsman rediscovered their form. Strauss and cook took their
:22:18. > :22:25.partnership to 186. Strauss eventually seemed to confuse
:22:25. > :22:31.himself, losing his wicket to Mishra for 87. Cook pressed on. Is
:22:31. > :22:35.this a dive in the field or just a collapse? Four Mor said the score.
:22:35. > :22:43.And then five words every Australian group took an oath over
:22:43. > :22:53.the winter. Alastair Cook made 100. India did get rid of bell but that
:22:53. > :22:58.bought in Kevin Pietersen. Pietersen went for 63 but Cook
:22:58. > :23:05.reached 150, England's lead already looks decisive and there are three
:23:05. > :23:11.days left in the test. How many more could England score? If the
:23:11. > :23:14.skies stayed reasonably blue well the sky is the limit.
:23:14. > :23:19.The Premier League kicks off this Saturday but one of the first
:23:19. > :23:25.matches, Tottenham against Everton has been postponed because of this
:23:25. > :23:31.weekend's riots. All games -- all other games will go ahead. David
:23:31. > :23:36.Bond reports. The Return of the self proclaimed
:23:36. > :23:42.most exciting league in the world should have been a high port in an
:23:42. > :23:46.otherwise troubled English summer. Instead, the violence that flared
:23:47. > :23:51.in Tottenham last weekend has had a knock-on effect on the national
:23:51. > :23:57.game. Everton were due to play at White Hart Lane on Saturday, but
:23:57. > :23:59.with the area around the ground still a crime scene, that game is
:23:59. > :24:03.postponed. The head of the Premier League says the other nine matches
:24:03. > :24:08.should go ahead. We won their matches on, not just for selfish
:24:08. > :24:11.reasons but because we are part of the normal fabric of English life
:24:11. > :24:17.and we want normality to resume to our streets and that includes
:24:17. > :24:22.football. England's top players are often accused of setting the wrong
:24:22. > :24:27.sort of example but some appealed for calm at the heart -- height of
:24:27. > :24:30.the riot this week. Many, like the English captain came from am
:24:30. > :24:35.privileged backgrounds. He might be rich now but he says it is
:24:35. > :24:40.important that players do not forget their responsibilities.
:24:40. > :24:44.have to get the message out. We asked for calm on the streets. They
:24:44. > :24:48.know we have been in a similar position to where they are.
:24:48. > :24:54.Football clubs now invest millions of pounds in community projects
:24:54. > :24:58.like this one, run by Arsenal in Islington in north London. But can
:24:58. > :25:02.multi- millionaire players, playing at clubs which have become
:25:02. > :25:06.increasingly expensive to get into, really make a difference for kids
:25:06. > :25:11.from deprived areas like these. They have got so much money and big
:25:11. > :25:16.cars and big houses. They are having a nice life. Some people
:25:16. > :25:21.don't even have a job or a car and they live on the streets. What did
:25:21. > :25:27.you think about it when you're watching on television? I thought
:25:27. > :25:32.two years ago, maybe but now, no. Superstars like Wayne Rooney have
:25:32. > :25:36.helped turn the Premier League into the richest and biggest sporting
:25:36. > :25:41.brand in the world. The last week has shown that even football cannot
:25:41. > :25:44.forget its roots. We can go back now to the main
:25:44. > :25:49.story of the day and the response from Westminster to the violence
:25:49. > :25:54.that swept England this week. George Alagiah is there.
:25:54. > :25:59.Welcome back to Westminster where MPs are sitting in an emergency
:25:59. > :26:03.setting to discuss the rights. David Cameron said the whole
:26:03. > :26:07.country had been shocked by this week's appalling scenes. Among them
:26:07. > :26:12.was the sight of a helpless Malaysian student being marked by
:26:12. > :26:16.rioters pretending to help him. Police have arrested a man in
:26:16. > :26:22.connection with that attack and for the first time today, Ashraf Rossli
:26:22. > :26:30.spoke about his attackers. So many people have been outraged
:26:30. > :26:39.by this footage of Mohammed Ashraf being robbed by those pretending to
:26:39. > :26:44.help him. Today he smoke -- spoke at the Malaysian High Commission.
:26:44. > :26:48.They put some metal inside and it is hard to open my mouth because
:26:48. > :26:53.there is metal inside. So far it is good. What does he think about
:26:53. > :26:58.those who took advantage of him? feel sorry for them but it was
:26:58. > :27:08.really sad because amongst them there were children. It was very
:27:08. > :27:10.
:27:10. > :27:15.sad. Did that shock you? Yes. The boy was in primary school, I think.
:27:15. > :27:19.It was quite shocking. He was surprisingly cheerful after an
:27:19. > :27:24.experience condemned by David Cameron as disgusting. He has told
:27:25. > :27:29.his mother he is staying here to finish his studies. I spoke to her
:27:29. > :27:33.yesterday. She was really worried. She wants me to go back home but I
:27:33. > :27:39.refused! Thank King well-wishers for their support, he says he
:27:39. > :27:42.thinks Britain is great. Tonight, Scotland Yard says a 20-year-old
:27:42. > :27:52.man has been arrested on suspicion of robbery.
:27:52. > :27:53.
:27:53. > :27:59.Now time for the weather with Alex Sophie was mentioning the problems
:27:59. > :28:04.caused in Scotland by the heavy rain. Five has had almost three
:28:04. > :28:08.times what an average August would expect and Edinburgh has had a very
:28:08. > :28:17.wet festival and we are only a third of the way through the month.
:28:17. > :28:24.Their heavy rain has eased. It will be a damp and misty night. It will
:28:24. > :28:27.be damp and drizzly for Wales, Scotland and south-west England. It
:28:27. > :28:32.will turn cooler in north-east Scotland tonight where there will
:28:32. > :28:38.be cooler skies. Elsewhere, things will brighten up across eastern and
:28:38. > :28:42.central parts of England. In the West, the next band of rain starts
:28:42. > :28:48.to arrive. The rain across the South West should be lighter but
:28:48. > :28:54.nevertheless, it is looking like a dull and damp afternoon. The area
:28:54. > :29:00.of rain will slowly work its way across Wales if -- for the course
:29:00. > :29:05.of the afternoon. It might turn bright and dry in the afternoon in
:29:05. > :29:09.Northern Ireland but overall, expect a wet Friday. It will turn
:29:09. > :29:14.wet over western Scotland. As the rain moves east, it could cause
:29:14. > :29:18.some problems. The ground will be saturated across South East
:29:18. > :29:27.Scotland. Across much of eastern England it should be a dry and
:29:27. > :29:32.bright day. Feeling humid in London. As for the weekend, sunshine and
:29:32. > :29:42.scattered showers on Saturday. The possibility of heavy rain in the
