LONDRES: martes 9 6.00 am : retorna la calma a la capital
Se les ha acabado el material a la compañía que ayuda a reparar vidrieras, ventanas, puertas, etc, a la policía. Y también los bomberos han avisado que están al borde de no tener mas agua para pagar incendios..
La policía usó con exito armoured vehicles para repeler grupos de más de 150 personas. La técnica les dió resultado.
The Guardan informa que hay sintomas de extenuación en la policía, que se sintió atrapada entre dos bloques. Muchos oficiales dicen haber dormido solo 3 horas en 48 horas..
Decenas de personas fueron detenidas durante la noche. Ealling finalmente esta recuperando la normalidad, pero la estación de metro no abrirá hoy hasta nuevo aviso.
Trenes y metro estan funcionando normalmente.
Ealing dos horas atrás.

- 0632:More than 100 police officers in Nottingham dealt with trouble last night. Forty vehicles have been damaged, 200 tyres set alight, and two petrol bombs were thrown at a police station. Police say a hardcore gang of around 30 people were responsible. Two people are in custody. A large operation is still underway although the trouble has died down.
- Aruni Mukherjee from Croydonwrites: Last night was a surreal experience. The sky was covered in black smoke from the various fires burning in and around the city centre. Scores of masked and hooded youth were loitering the streets looking menacing, with police vans going past doing nothing to stop them. As local residents we are extremely worried for our safety.
- 0628:More on the transport situation in London: All overground stations are open as normal. Some local bus services may be disrupted due to diversions being in place. Tramlink services are running but the Croydon loop is closed. Check the Tfl website for the latest updates.

- 0614:Prime Minister David Cameron arrived back at Number 10 in the early hours after cutting short his family holiday in Italy, Downing Street says. He will meet Home Secretary Theresa May and Acting Scotland Yard Commissioner Tim Godwin before chairing a Cobra emergency meeting at 09:00 BST.
- 0601:London Transport says all Tube stations affected by unrest overnight will be open as normal this morning. The only exception is Ealing Broadway, which is inside a police cordon, meaning some of its entrances will be closed.
- 0556: A video on youtubethat appears to have been taken in Woolwich, south-east London, shows rioters outnumbering and charging police.
- 0555:Scotland Yard say three people were arrested earlier on suspicion of attempted murder after a police officer was injured by a car in Brent, north-west London, while trying to stop suspected looters.
- 0553:The riots also dominate the front pages of Britain's tabloid newspapers. The Sun's print edition sums up events in a single word: Anarchy, while its website opts for Descent into hell, over a dramatic picture of a woman leaping to safety from a burning building.
The Daily Star , goes with Anarchy in the UK, while its sister paper The Daily Express opts for "Flaming Morons".
The print version of the Daily Mirror, whose web story focuses on the spread of unrest outside of London, keeps it short and simple with "Yob Rule". - 0537:Understandably, coverage of the riots dominates the British newspapers, with much debate about the root causes of the civil disobedience that has gripped London and other cities.
Claims by ex-London mayor Ken Livingstone, who aims to unseat Boris Johnson next year, that government cuts are to blame are rejected by the Daily Mail.
And the Independent thinks it's spurious to draw a connection between disaffection and the outbreaks of violence in recent days.
However, the Guardian feels the unrest is a product of the lives which the rioters choose or feel constrained to live. - John Skinner from West Ealingwrites: Young people were dragging boxed flat screen TV's in their hands with impunity. I saw a convoy of police cars driving past. The officers were clearly stretched. No cars stopped. I also saw Seba Electronics being ransacked; two or three TV's were stolen by one person. His audacity brought gasps from onlookers. I feel awful for the owner and his wife who are always pleasant and helpful and have had their business there for years. They do not deserve what has happened. Carphone Warehouse is engulfed by plumes of smoke. Wilkinsons, Boots, Cash Converters and other stores in the area were also attacked. It was simply pure greed.
- 0500:How the riots are being reported around the world: The Washington Post calls them the worst bout of urban violence to hit Britain in more than two decades, with parts of London "morphing into lawless no man's lands". The Times of India says the disturbances raise questions about whether London is safe enough to stage the 2012 Olympics. France's AFP press agency says the riots point to deeper social unease in poor areas of Britain's capital. Canada's Globe and Mail blames a "lost generation of young high school dropouts" but says the riots are a mystery to all - even the rioters.

They had petrol bombs in bottles. As I went back to work to tell everyone what's going on, about five minutes after that the whole Sony centre was ablaze."
- 0323: Catherine Holmes, resident in Hackneywrites: The common feeling in Hackney Central is that our community has been hurt and damaged by causeless violence. We spoke to looters trying to get home, the only explanation they gave for their behaviour was that they had no money today. It is sad to think that these people are thinking of only the next moment, and the moment they have created is a nightmare. As we watch them now moving on in small pockets, we hope that our community will unite together this morning to react against these riots.
