disturbance in northeast london in hackney now reports tonight of trouble too in south london in lewisham what we've got for us. riots are continuing to spread even as late as this evening and this is now the third day in a row that that's been happening across the city and each time it's a new location that's affected the latest as you just said is lewisham which is in the south of the city really the other end of london to tottenham which is where the initial unrest took place on saturday night and what pictures we've seen there is of two vehicles of just being set on set alight riot police have been deployed there in lewisham in south london we don't know yet i don't have any figures on a number of arrests if any that have been made there but the worst action the most severe unrest that took place today was in hackney in the north east of london again another area that was previously unaffected until until today what was happening there was looters groups of people swarming the main high streets there smashing windows ransacking shops in some cases stealing and looting merchandise thin

that they're pretty stretched to the areas they are in which is several areas throughout london lewisham in south london peckham hackney in north london north east london they're finding it hard to control the situation there because a number of spectators in particular children watching events and getting in the way of them doing their job and being on robust on the necessary people and so the acting commissioner of police commissioner tim godwin has come out. evening insead . asking parents to get in touch with their children to try and keep them inside and so the police can do their job that's the plea from the police but also they're saying they simply can't get on top of things as quickly as they would like because seems viruses just spring up just instantaneously at the same time as all across london so they simply don't have the resources and services so this trying to recruit people as it happens well that seems to coincide with a couple of the reports i've been reading as well people saying over the weekend the brixton for instance carries electrical shock people reporting looki

in other areas along the like lewisham in ealing is strictly criminal enterprise has nothing to do with political power you can spin it one way or another but at the end it just comes down to opportunity you witness some of these riots yourself first time where did you witness the taking so what you saw. well to be honest it's one of the most shocking things i've ever had the displeasure of seeing was in brixton early monday morning about one am i saw gangs of youths who were some of which had fled from central brixton into the surrounding areas like stockwell barricade in the streets with rubbish bins or anything they could find in order to stop cars and try to pull drivers from the cars and take the cars i saw in one instance this happened one man came to help the driver and he was beaten by a gang of six or seven young black youths in brixton very frightening i was barricaded in a pub for part of the time and couldn't go out and the pub got sieged about an hour after that incident so no police to be found. if you dialled nine nine nine the police said sorry we can't help you just sta

violence has broken out in hackney and lewisham.the metropitan police make a statement in the last couple of hours. they said they would go after the protagonists. they condemned this violence. they said cameras would capture those carrying this out and promised to bring this to justice. the pictures we are seeing our cat and mouse games between writers and police officers, rubbish bins on fire. people are terrified. the police have urged londoners to get off the streets so they can deal with increasing levels of violence. >> it looks very serious. is this genuine frustration at the economic situation in britain, or is this young people taking advantage of the situation to cause damage and look things? >> this violence has been widely condemned by politicians and members of the public as incomprehensible. obviously, there was that vigil on saturday night which marked -- sparked the original right. politicians have condemned this violence as unjustified. no real reason to spark further violence in terms of rioting. but there seems to
