hello and welcome. the deployment of thousands of extra police officers across england combined with heavy rain has prevented a fifth night of riots. around 200 people have attended a vigil for three asian men who died. earlier, police and community leaders appealed for calm after a man was arrested on suspicion of murder. we have our first report from birmingham. >> every scrap of evidence from the crime scene is needed. police believe that the hit and run here last night was murdered. the community pays their respects to the three men killed. the brothers --

>> i have a picture when he was younger. >> he tried to revive his own son. >> someone from behind told me that my son was lying behind me. my face was covered in blood. why? any thing i ever wanted done, -- would do it for me. they killed him. >> friends and neighbors are deeply and very -- are deeply angry. >> we need to stand together and fight for peace because this is england. >> exclusive footage given shows the street just after the men were mowed down. one of them lies on the ground.

>> they are dead. >> you cannot stop shaking. people were dying out in the streets. >> the police were that this might trigger more violence that this time along racial lines. >> i urge people to be calm. i am confident that the people can get service. we can move on with a sense of purpose. >> this for this is from a local television station. >> officer, please. >> it appears to show the television crews giving a lift

to chase after the suspected murderers. >> there you go. >> they are seeing a resting a man, one of four people obtained last night. members of the community press around the lead presenter. >> it is quite as extraordinary that people were protecting the police. >> this is uplifting. it shows how much people care about their neighborhood and their city and country. >> please respect the memory of our sons and the grief of our families and loved ones by staying away from trouble. >> the police cordon has been removed and friends and relatives of people who knew the men can come right to the spot

where they were killed. what people want is for the violence to end and more everyone to remain calm. with so many people feeling so much anger, it would be easy for this to become another violent night. >> in a vigil is held in birmingham, four of the three men, this has now ended. >> this is just a few feet away from where the young men were hit by a car last night over at the petrol station. they were killed. they see the response from the community here. some 300 mainly young man from asia have gathered here to remember those that have lost their lives. community leaders have been calling for a peaceful response and this evening, that is what we have got.

the man whose son was one of those killed here has really emerged as a very respected and calm voice of reason. he addressed the mourners here and he told them that he expected to seek a peaceful response. in that light, they have been saying prayers, lighting candles. the prevailing sense is one of sadness. the committee has agreed that they will not march and there will not be any protests this evening. at a later date, they will gather to show solidarity.

they will respond peacefully to what has happened but they do want to see justice done. the police have opened an investigation. one of the murders is under arrest. >> david cameron has declared -- and says that he will not allow a culture of fear to exist on the streets. he called pockets of british society not is broken. >> is this it was -- last night. they lined up to clean out this electrical store have been first robbed and assaulted its owner. today, the man suspected what

was left of his business after telling the prime minister of his story. >> all of these people poured in. one of them got it and i was fighting. >> david cameron promised him and other retailers a tougher police response. earlier, the prime minister presented himself as the leader of a new moral army who would stand up against the worst of britain. >> we needed to fight back and that is under way. there are pockets of our society that are not just broken but frankly sick. when we see children as soon as 12 and 13 looting and laughing, when we see if the discussing site of an injured young man will people pretending to help them while they are robbing him, things have gone wrong.

>> of the prime minister did not risk walking through a city on edge. the police are moving in at the first sign of trouble. this is a city that is still living in fear. rests on the street. in the meantime, shops that have closed early in order to avoid another night which people fear will bring more trouble. the labor leader did take to the streets of manchester. for now, at least, political leaders are speaking with one voice about what has gone wrong. >> we must resist simplistic explanations or responses because there are complex reasons. this has to do with the responsibility that we need in our society, responsibility that we need from top to bottom.

>> they are preparing for the worst. businesses have closed early or burden themselves up -- or boarded it themselves up. >> 820 people have been arrested in london since saturday in connection with the rights. some of them have appeared before the court. our reporter is outside of westminster magistrate court in central london and he has been sitting in on these hearings. >> the conveyor belt of justice continues. there are a key court rooms. a 16-year-old from east london

who is accused of violent disorder during that short hearing. we heard she was part of a gang that attacked an unmarked police car. when they responded. that gives the flavor of the type of thing that is being heard there. we carry on going through the night. >> many of the suspects are charged with disorder or burglary. >> a real variety of charges and ages and backgrounds as well. charges involving some minor damage and vandalism. one charges was stolen goods worth 140,000 pounds.

one of the defendants is 47 years old. one of the youngest is 14 years old. this gives you a sense of scale of what has been happening. 800 arrests have been made by the police. >> that was a report from outside of the magistrate's court. there's one particular image from the riots that have shocked the world. >> he was on the street in east london. he was mugged by a gain. the students had been recovering in hospital with a broken jaw. our correspondent takes up this story. >> these images have come to define a fishes mine said on display. the 20-year-old former bloody,

days, being robbed by those that pretended to help him. >> he is just going for his back. >> this is him at the royal london hospital where he had surgery on his broken jaw. he said he hit the ground when attackers pulled him from his bicycle and then others threatened to stab him. he is one of 13,000 malaysian students in britain, many are scared by what they have seen. >> you don't do something like that to someone who was harmless. >> what does that make you think about london and the people who could do that? >> basically, i have a strong relationship with the british people here and they have always been very well mannered. to see this happening is an atrocity.

>> he came to london without family. here at the high commission, they are saying that we are his family. they are working on bringing his parents here to see him. a senior diplomat tells me that everyone knows what happened to him. "newsday," onhing the bbc. as the markets opened across asia, we will see how they respond to another day of turmoil. >> we will go inside of the world's largest refugee camp. >> reports from the syrian city of hama suggests that the army has pulled out. the u.s. has imposed on the

largest commercial bank and the biggest mobile phone operator lives after days of violence, troops are fooling -- are pulling out. some of these pictures cannot be verified. soldiers stand and cheer as their units leave. the week-long operation reportedly left dozens of opposition activists dead and the city broken. this is what was left behind, the burned out cars, the blackened buildings, wreckage strewn across the street. all signs of the scale and ferocity of the operation. in the u.s., there was more condemnation of the syrian government's actions and further sanctions on the president's government. >> we are all watching with horror what he is due to his own people and we're working with our partners to ensure that

presser continues to be placed and ramp up on president assad. >> the criticism from the u.s. and other countries appeared to have little impact. the violence and the protests continue. the battle for syria comes down into a struggle between the president and the people. >> rupert murdoch says that he will not step down from the board of his news corp. despite investor concerns about his leadership. the statement came after news corp. announced a 22% drop in profit. >> our main headlines for you,

thousands of extra police are on duty in english cities. the streets so far have been quiet. >> the prime minister is joined police and leaders to call for calm after the death of three men who were run over and killed protecting their neighborhood from looters. asian markets are falling following worries of the u.s. economy and the european debt crisis. stocks fell sharply, shares in french banks fell. france could lose their triple a credit rating and this was later contradicted by the french government and free major credit rating agencies who said that the outlook for france was stable. japan and south korea down between one and a half to two

and a half percent. they're trying to find positive direction but they're overwhelmed by fear and panic. the losses are not as bad as those as in wall street with the nasdaq, the dow, and the s&p fell on average between four to four and a half percent. there is no fear of a downgrade but worry that the debt crisis and the american financial problems, which are major trading partners, have led investors to scamper for the exit. the euro is falling to fresh five month lows against the yen amid worries that the debt crisis could spread to the banking sector. prices are falling by dollar in asia? well uphold continues to scale new record highs. stocks have dipped in sydney.

>> in early trading, stock market has dipped about 1%. not as bad as what we saw yesterday. the australian stock market was adding a billion dollars a minute. they did rally in the end. they rallied higher than at the start of the day. we have seen a dip this morning driven by overnight concerns and overnight concerns from the eurozone and into ticket to come of france. people are saying that the fundamentals of the economy are very good. australia has not had a recession for 20 years. this is helped by a booming resources sector, the rise of china, and the fact that the government has such a small amount of debt comparatively. the message is that although we have seen market volatility,

there is no need to panic. >> in other news, the u.s. international forces have killed the taliban insurgents who shot down a helicopter in afghanistan over the weekend. 38 american and afghan troops died when their helicopter was downed. many of those four members of the elite special forces unit that were involved in the raid that killed osama bin laden. >> the final homecoming, military transport plane touches down at dover air force base bearing the remains of 30 american soldiers. a sobering moment for the commander in chief who would spend more than an hour in private with the grieving families. this is the single biggest loss of life in the war. in the mountains, investigators

have sealed off the crash site was the wreckage of the downed helicopter is retrieved. the americans made a point of revealing that those responsible have themselves been killed. >> coalition forces killed the taliban insurgents responsible for this attack. this was an art pg round. we will continue to relentlessly pursue the enemy. the insurgents are losing. >> the general said that two insurgents were killed by an f- 16 air strike. the taliban insisted that the man who fired upon the helicopter was alive. 22 of the american dead or navy seals they operate in the shadows. some are being reminded --

remembered. >> i heard the doorbell rang. it is just a neighbor. i came upstairs and i saw my father opening the door and then coming inside in the uniform and i fell to my knees. the energy, and everything sucked out of me. >> they were wondering why they made such a vulnerable landing in american lives were not under threat. they're likely to play a greater role in the war. these have pose new questions about the afghanistan shed at a time when they are focusing on home. this might not be a turning point. the war is unwinnable.

>> the drought is likely to last for months. more than 100,000 people have fled into kenya. this has put a strain on the refugee camp already home to 300,000. >> for a few hours, the children pretend like they are like children everywhere. the make-believe houses they build are a million miles from the reality. the reality that there in person to imagine is largely a fiction. in fact, these children were born here and have never been to somalia. their parents left the country 20 years ago. would you like to go to somalia?

the answer is no. their parents say it is a bad place. this massive operation sustains 300,000 people who fled the conflict of the 1990's and they have never gone back. they need help but they're not starving. three out of every four people have nothing to do with the current crisis. in some cases they have been collecting their rations like this for a decade or more. this is a graphic reminder that there is a deeper problem at work than this year's drought. it begs the question, is all of this solving a problem or simply prolonging it. this person has an answer, although this is not for the fainthearted. >> some will die, others will

find a solution. >> parts of the camp have begun to look more and more like a town. there are mechanics, even a juice maker. they have their own economy driven in part by the 8 that comes in. they sell part of their rations. >> of course, it would be better to have a business in our country. this war going on is -- in line -- the failure to solve the crisis drives a new generation across the border. another mother building another shelter in this no-man's land. >> from all of us, thank you for watching.
