more now on the riots in sunderland — eight people have been arrested

our home editor mark easton reports from sunderland.urn into an all night to all out riot. police were doled out to deal with a wave of criminality. around the next corner, a taxi overturned and satellite. about 4—500 protesters here in the centre of sunderland, we've got a police helicopter overhead — you can probably see the right squads just getting out of their van, we've had police on horseback charging through the crowd to disperse them. but it's a strange scene, to be honest, because you've got the hard right mask the olives hurling bricks at the police lines — then you've got families all wearing england tops tearing them along. i've seen babies and pushchairs, very small children on the march, and scores of teenagers, young boys and scores of teenagers, young boys and girls club all dressed up to their nines out on a friday night just looking for a bit of excitement. gathering missiles to throw it police officers. "head for the mosques," shouted one. as fears grew that the town might descend into major public disorder. mark eas

our reporter olly constable has more from sunderland.t of violence. you can see behind me a police office that was attacked during that violence. the window has been smashed and insulation has been pulled down and an adjoining unit as well was set alight. the damage that's been caused is extensive, the air thick with that putrid smoke, some of the damage you can see you've got glass on the floor as well as lots of rubble. and it was some of that rubble that was thrown towards police officers yesterday, along with stones and glass bottles. northumbria police tell us that three officers were taken to hospital with injuries. two of those this morning remain in hospital. a number of people were arrested, eight in total, on a variety of offences including public order offences and burglary. we've seen the damage that's been caused there by the fire, butjust a short walk down the high street you can see windows that have been smashed as well. across the city centre, a number of units have been damaged, including fast food restaurants and banks

and that is a messaae from outside sunderland. and that is a message we _ from outside sunderland.ort as well last week. this is a theme we have seen repeated by councillors and locals, that often the people coming to these protests don't have anything to do with the local community and they have come from outside the local community and we have been talking about how these protests have been orchestrated and organised on social media and while that perhaps means the police have a better grasp on where they need to better grasp on where they need to be for these protests, it also means that people who want to come from further afield have a better grasp on where the people are and where they need to go and at what time. and you are seeing it live images from the scene in what room at the moment. stay with us here on bbc news. —— in rotherham at the moment. live from london, this is bbc news. the british prime minister says he'll do whatever it takes to quash the anti—immigration riots sweeping england — as violence breaks out in several cities. these were the scenes at a rotherham
