London riots: Timeline of violence
People have been left homeless after a night of riots on the streets of Tottenham. Buildings were set alight and shops looted after a peaceful demonstration turned violent. Here is a timeline of what happened.
4 August
18:15 BST - Mark Duggan, 29, is shot dead by police at Ferry Lane, Tottenham.
The death occurs during an operation where specialist firearm officers and officers from Operation Trident, the unit which deals with gun crime in the African and Caribbean communities, are attempting to carry out an arrest.
Mr Duggan is a passenger in a minicab and is shot after an apparent exchange of fire. A police officer's radio is later found to have a bullet lodged in it.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) announces it will investigate the incident and later says it believes two shots were fired by police. It also confirms that an illegal firearm was recovered from the scene.
6 August
Before 17:00 - The IPCC provides support to 14 of Mr Duggan's family members and friends as they formally identify his body.
17:00 BST - Around 300 people gather outside Tottenham police station after marching from Broadwater Farm estate. They say they want "justice" for Mr Duggan and his family.
Officers are forced to close the High Road and put traffic diversions in place. Eyewitnesses report that the protest begins peacefully.
20:20 BST - The violence begins as bottles are thrown at two patrol cars close to the police station. One of the vehicles is set alight, while the other is pushed into the middle of the road before also being torched.
Unconfirmed reports say the incident was sparked off by a confrontation between a teenage protester and a police officer.
Riot officers from the Territorial Support Group and police on horseback are deployed to disperse the crowds but come under attack from bottles, fireworks and other missiles.
20:45 BST - The London Fire Brigade receives its first calls to attend and by 04:30 BST the following morning has dealt with 49 "primary" fires in the Tottenham area and received more than 250 emergency calls from the public.
No firefighters are injured in the disturbances but some are threatened by rioters, according to the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority.
22:45 BST - As the violence continues, a double-decker bus is burnt out and more petrol bombs are thrown at police and buildings. Shops set alight in the area include an Aldi supermarket and a carpet shop.
Looting is reported throughout the night and some thieves take the opportunity to load up car boots and shopping trolleys with stolen goods. Vision Express, Boots, Argos and JD Sports are among the shops affected.
7 August
12:00 BST - Fire crews have all the fires under control but are still damping down some burnt-out buildings. Scenes of crime officers begin investigating and gathering evidence.
Police say 26 police officers were injured in the riots and two remain in hospital. Forty-two arrests were made.
Local MP David Lammy tells reporters the community has "had the heart ripped out of it" by "mindless, mindless people", many of whom he says had come from outside Tottenham to cause trouble.
Spalone przez uczestników zamieszek samochody w Liverpool
'''Po zamieszkach, które trwają w Londynie nieprzerwanie od sobotniej nocy; fala rozruchów przenosi się do innych miast: Bristolu, Birmingham, Nottingham, Manchesteru i Liverpoolu.'''

Zamieszki w Londynie rozpoczęły się w sobotę w trakcie pokojowej demonstracji przed posterunkiem Policji, po tym jak w niejasnych okolicznościach funkcjonariusze policji zastrzelili dwudziestosześcioletniego mieszkańca dzielnicy Londynu - Tottenham.

We wtorek rano w Londynie trwało sprzątanie rozbitego szkła, cegieł i butelek, porządkowano splądrowane sklepy. W godzinach popołudniowych część właścicieli sklepów w obawie przed wieczornymi rozruchami zamyka sklepy przed czasem.

Jak zaznacza brytyjska policja - w Wielkiej Brytanii nie było takich zamieszek od wielu lat.

Do tej pory aresztowano 334 osoby w Londynie i 100 w Birmingham.

David Cameron - Premier Zjednoczonego Królestwa Wielkiej Brytanii i Irlandii Północnej - skrócił swój urlop wypoczynkowy w związku z rozruchami. We wtorek popołudniu odwiedził splądrowaną dzielnicę Croydon
