[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 151244, member: 35"] Some vignettes of the day. Jon Brain BBC News, Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court Sat in the dock in a blue tracksuit top, the 11-year-old boy was barely big enough to see over the wooden ledge into the main body of the courtroom. But, according to the prosecution, the child had been among the hundreds arrested in connection with the rioting in London over the past few nights. He was the youngest to appear at Highbury on Wednesday, and admitted taking a wastepaper basket from a branch of Debenhams in Romford, which was looted by rioters. Others brought before magistrates included a man who works in a primary school, a student and a convicted drug dealer. Nearly all will be sentenced at crown courts which have the powers to impose tougher penalties. The 11-year-old is due at a youth court at the end of the month. Despite his tender age, he spent last night in a police cell. He's been told to observe a curfew between 18:00 and 06:00 until his fate is decided. ....................... The prime minister has said the "fightback" is under way, after cities in England suffered a fourth night of violence and looting. David Cameron said every action would be taken to restore order, with contingency plans for water cannon to be available at 24 hours' notice. On Tuesday night, unrest spread to cities including Manchester, Salford, Liverpool, Nottingham and Birmingham. Three men protecting property died when they were hit by a car in Birmingham. Haroon Jahan, 21, Shahzad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, who were from the Asian Muslim community, were taken to hospital but died from their injuries. Mr Cameron said the deaths were "truly dreadful" and offered his condolences to the men's families. Haroon Jahan, Shahzad Ali and Abdul Musavir were protecting property, residents say A candle-lit vigil, attended by some 200 people, took place in Birmingham for the men. The BBC's Jeremy Cooke said it was entirely peaceful. Ladywood MP Shabana Mahmood had appealed for calm, telling a community meeting it was important people did not take matters into their own hands. Meanwhile, rioters in Manchester and Salford have been told that they face being evicted from their council homes if they are identified on CCTV footage. Both city councils have issued warnings that if any of their tenants or their children have been involved in violence or looting they will be "thrown out". Greenwich Council also says it will be seeking the eviction of any council tenants if they are found to have been engaged in criminal activities. Earlier, the prime minister said police had the legal backing to use any tactics necessary to bring the rioting across England under control, including using baton rounds. Speaking after a meeting of the government's Cobra emergency committee, he said: "This continued violence is simply not acceptable, and it will be stopped. "We will not put up with this in our country. We will not allow a culture of fear to exist on our streets." But Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) president Sir Hugh Orde ruled out using water cannon or baton rounds for now, saying the tactics were not suited to the current unrest. "Water cannon are used to deal with fixed crowds to buy distance," he said. "The evidence... is showing very clearly these are fast-moving crowds, where water cannon would not be appropriate." He added that baton rounds would only be deployed when his officers' lives were under serious threat. Meanwhile, Home Secretary Theresa May told the BBC she had ordered all police forces in England and Wales to mobilise special constables, cancel leave and adopt a "tough, robust approach". Six forces have requested assistance for Wednesday evening, according to Acpo, which is co-ordinating resources in England and Wales. They are Avon and Somerset, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester Police, the Metropolitan Police, Nottinghamshire, and West Midlands. ................ Analysis: Courts run all night Earlier, Mr Cameron said: "We have seen the worst of Britain, but I also believe we have seen some of the best of Britain - the million people who have signed up on Facebook to support the police, coming together in the clean-up operations. "There are pockets of our society that are not just broken, but are frankly sick. "It is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society, people allowed to feel the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities and their actions do not have consequences. Well, they do have consequences." The Met Police has made 820 arrests and charged 279 people in connection with violence in the capital. In London, three courts will stay open all night on Wednesday to deal with some of the scores of people facing mainly disorder and burglary charges after four nights of rioting.

In the West Midlands, 163 people had been arrested by Wednesday morning, and police chiefs say at the height of the disorder it was at a rate of about one person per minute.
