Police are on the streets of Tottenham, north London, where overnight riots saw petrol bombs thrown at officers and patrol cars and buildings set alight.
Eight injured police officers were taken in hospital, at least one of them with head injuries.
The unrest began after a protest over the fatal shooting by police of 29-year-old Mark Duggan on Thursday.

Tottenham riot: eight police in hospital as night of violence follows fatal shooting
Eight police officers have been taken to hospital after riots broke out in Tottenham, north London, two days after a man was shot dead by police.

Patrol cars, a double-decker bus and shops were set alight after a crowd of more than 300 people clashed with officers near Tottenham police station.
Missiles, including Molotov cocktails, fireworks, rocks and fire extinguishers, were thrown at the police. Scotland Yard said at least one of the officers had suffered head injuries.
Trouble flared after members of the community took to the streets on Saturday night to demand "justice", after Mark Duggan, 29, was shot dead on Thursday.
Young looters were accused of an opportunistic ‘Supermarket Sweep’ motivated by nothing other than greed.
Dozens were filmed as they disappeared into the night with their arms laden with plasma TVs, laptops and sports clothes.
Claims that rampant lawlessness was motivated by the death of Mark Duggan at the hands of police was quickly exposed as a lie.
Some of those involved in attacks on stores in Enfield, Tottenham and Oxford Circus were barely old enough to be arrested.

Left-wing politicians have cynically sought to make political capital out of the riots, blaming government cuts for the orgy of violence.
Labour MPs and activists lined up to make excuses for the thugs, spouting claims that disadvantaged youth had no option but to smash up high streets. Chris Williamson, Labour MP for Derby North, suggested the Government’s austerity drive was to blame.

Left-wing cynics are behind most if not all of today's troubles - except they are very good at distancing themselves when the spotlight starts to shine. The left have been building their army for 2 years now (ever since the writing was on the wall for old/new labour) and the right wing better up its game some 1000% because the left are outmaneouvering you everywhere ( they have nothing else to do and plenty to gain). This is nothing to do with a shooting of a criminal gang member and all to do with bringing down the Coalition Government. Everyone can see that.

Experts at the GCHQ listening station in Cheltenham have joined forces with Scotland Yard to hunt down hundreds of criminals suspected of masterminding some of the worst looting.
We will use water cannons on them:

"There's a body of very angry young people out there -- young people who have been marginalised systematically within society for decades," education expert Professor Gus John told AFP. "I think to a large extent, it's an outpouring of pent-up anger against the police, but also total frustration with their situation as people who see no future for themselves." Some however rejected arguments that social conditions played a role and simply demanded a swift crackdown on the perpetrators.

Tariq Hussain, 48, watched the attack unfold and warned that the community would take revenge for the killing.
The shopowner, who is a close family friend of Mr Jahan’s, said:
‘The car hit all three of them up and sent them up like tennis balls.
Other Asian people pelted the car with bricks and it drove off.
(time sequence needed re: “pelted the car with bricks”)
‘People want to act, but the police won’t let us.
We want justice and if anyone comes here tonight, they will be asking for trouble.’
Another man said: ‘There will be race riots if the police don’t sort this out quickly.’
He accused largely African-Caribbean looting gangs of targeting Asian-owned businesses,
easier targets compared with the city centre which was full of police.
