UK PM recalls Parliament for rioting crisis

None

British Prime Minister David Cameron recalled Parliament from its summer recess Tuesday to deal with the crisis touched off by three days of rioting in London. Cameron described the scenes of burned buildings and smashed windows on the streets of London and several other British cities as "sickening."

 

Cameron canceled all leave for police and promised to bring in reinforcements from around the country. He said 450 arrests had been made so far, and promised many more if the looting continued. "I am determined, the government is determined, to see justice done," he said in a televised news conference. (AP)
