National and international news and analysis with Ritula Shah.

The Home Secretary meets senior police officers after two nights of rioting in London. We hear from Tottenham and Brixton and ask: why now? 

We'll monitor the stock markets and see if austerity measures in some European countries have made a difference to their credit ratings. 

And we hear about the growing popularity of tri-athlons.

All that and more on the World Tonight with Ritula Shah.
