UK Police on alert to avoid new Bradford violence
Police are patrolling the streets of Bradford in England to avoid a repeat of the weekend's violence branded "thuggery" by Tony Blair.
Businesses and cars were torched and 164 police officers injured during in some of the worst rioting to hit Britain for years.
Police said "a sense of normality" had now returned to the city but confirmed a strong police presence would again be on the streets.
Tony Blair described the disturbances as "thuggery" and said violent protesters had ended up "destroying their own community".
A police spokesman said: "There will be a high visibility presence in order to prevent a repeat of the weekend's trouble. The presence will remain in place throughout the week."
A total of 21 people, including a 14-year-old boy, have appeared before Bradford Magistrates in connection with the trouble.
They were charged with a variety of offences, including violent disorder, racially aggravated violence, affray, possession of an offensive weapon and burglary.
The 14-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was charged with violent disorder. All but two came from the Bradford area and most were remanded in custody for a week.
More than 600 officers, drawn from seven forces, were drafted on to the city's streets last night.
There were several isolated incidents, including an attack by a group of white youths on an Asian restaurant and the firebombing of the Bradford Arms pub in Manningham - the scene of the worst of Saturday's trouble.
