atika shubert is out on the streets and joins us with the latest developments. er another rowdy night, atika. >> reporter: yes, it has been another rowdy night. the traffic is completely backed up on this street because as you can imagine on the high street it's kay yot. there's just debris everywhere. windows smashed. behind me you can't see it because there's a truck here but the shells of two burned out cars. there is in ehling, a pretty suburb of london, a quiet residential area, so people are asking, how did it get to this point? how did it get to the point where what was a riot in tottenham friday night sudden became a city riot and gone on to other areas. to give you an indication, basically they had 6,000 police officers on the street last night, made almost 500 arrests. their jails filled up so quickly, they've now had to take offenders to other areas and they've had more than 400% rise in the number of emergency calls to emergency services overnight, so this is the situation here that clearly has gotten out of control and out of the hands of police and

atika shubert reporting there from near hackney in london. atika mentioned and as we have been reporting, this has spread. we want to update you on conditions in birmingham, after violence broke out there monday. and covering the rioting there is daniel wainwright, a correspondent for the express and star and he's on the phone right now. thanks for joining us once again. let's go over what the situation is in birmingham now as we speak. >> well, it seems to have calmed down a little bit now. we have not heard any updates of any more violence since around 2:00 a.m. british time, about five hours ago for us. what we saw last night was violence that fled in the city center of birmingham. we had over 100 people that have been arrested, that being 34 people injured. and it essentially has been people smashing the windows of shops, taking what they want, helping themselves to sports wear and even more mindless vandalism than that, smashing the fronts of fast food restaurants. >> let's look at the core of this. as we spoke last hour, the initial tri

cnn's atika shubert joins me. this must be pretty damaging stuff for people who have plowed their life savings into small businesses to see them torched across london. >> exactly. i was in west london yesterday, a quiet, pretty residential area that was suddenly trashed on monday night. i spoke to one owner of a kids wear and maternity wear shop, she put her life savings in it and it's been trashed as a result. she's devastated. here is what she had to say. >> you were showing this to me earlier. >> it was a little romper suit, it stinks of alcohol. >> this was used as some sort of mole tav cocktail or something. >> maybe this is what set the car on fire. maybe i shouldn't be touching it. it's probably evidence. >> just an article of baby's clothing. what would anybody -- >> it's just mindless. i'm not saying my business is any less deserving or more deserving or any other business. why smash in the coffee shop, the cafe, the book shop? people frightened for their lives last night. >> fortunately we did not see a

atika shubert is joining us live. >> reporter: this is normally a charming row of shops.re smashed in by rioters overnight. firefighters have cleared the area and quite a few shops on fire but have said they are structurally okay. people are going in and boarding up the windows to make sure the glass doesn't come out. people are angry and upset and why was this place targeted if the shooting happened in north london? a lot of people are saying this is just criminal opportunism where teens are loot and vent their frustration and anger. people are saying it's gotten out of hand and when night falls tonight, are we going to see a fourth consecutive day of rioting? >> tell us about the death that started the rioting, atika. >> reporter: well, it started last week on a thursday. mark dugan, a 29-year-old resident of totonim was shot and killed by police. we don't have many details. it's an investigation that has been ongoing. his family feel there was excessive police force and they are very upset and they held a protest. it was a small and peaceful protest but somehow that ge

cnn's atika shubert is live in london. seriously, this is something that started as a police confrontation in an already tense country because of austerity and just continues to grow. >> well, this is it, i'm in ealing, which is normally a quiet, residential suburb known more for its pretty houses outside of london. as you can see behind me the shops have been looted, put on fire overnight. there's the shells of cars on the road here, and prime minister cameron was basically addressing residents of places like ealing saying we will use the full force of the law. here's what he said. >> let me first of all completely condemn the scenes that we have seen on our television screens and people have witnessed in their communities. these are sickening scenes, scenes of people looting, vandalizing, thieving, robbing, scenes of people attacking police officers and even attacking fire crews as they're trying to put out fires. this is criminality, pure and simple, and it has to be confronted and defeated. >> reporter: i know i spoke

we have atika shubert following that story out of london. she's joining us live. , what do you know? >> well, basically what we know is that prime minister come ran has said he's going to put out more police on the streets and looters will feel the full force of the law. 16,000 cops will be out on the street tonight, compare that to just 6,000 that were out last night. but is that going to be enough? here in west london, it's a relatively affluent community, without any of the history of violence they've seen in some of the other areas. but look at what happened. i mean the windows have been smashed in and the grocery store on the corner here just was lit on fire. and firefighters have now cleared the area so the cleanup has just started around here. but residents here say it was an absolutely harrowing, that they narrowly escaped, as kids basically set upon the area, set cars on fire, and then completely ransacked and looted shops. so people here are encouraged to hear that there will be more cops on the street. but they're also wondering if more forceful measures

atika shubert live in london for us. what do you suspect he'll say? >> he's going to do an assessment of how it went last night with 16,000 cops on the street. the good news is here in london it was a lot quieter. there were isolated pockets of looting, easily dealt with by the police. unfortunately, it was the turn of manchester. they did have some serious looting and even some fires over there. police were able to finally get a handle on it in the early hours of the morning. but still, it was a frightening experience for a lot of the residents in central manchester there. so the prime minister is likely to come out today, say how effective the policing was last night and is he going to keep the cops on the streets for the next few nights. >> atika shubert live in london. we'll check back with you when david cameron comes out and makes his statement. thanks so much. >>> an exchange of artillery fire between north korea and south korea near a disputed border island, the south says it responded after north korean shells landed in the waters off yong pe
