The clean-up gets underway after the night's riots in the Harehills area of Leeds. Trouble flared at 8.15pm after hundreds of Asians piled onto the streets of the city centre and were confronted by eight vanloads of riot officers and police dogs. * It is believed that the trouble was caused following the arrest of a local man by police two days ago. After more than six hours of disturbances, most of the rioters had dispersed by 2.15am. The disturbances - in a mixed race area - come less than a week after racial violence flared in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Scores of villagers were airlifted to safety after a wall of water tore through the once picturesque north Cornwall village of Boscastle yesterday. Around five inches of rain fell in seven hours in the area and an estimated 3ft of water tore through the streets of the village, which lies in a deep valley leading to the sea.
