First we go to the UK riots, where the fathers of three young Asian men killed during riots in Birmingham visit the scene of the crime. One father has a message of peace for the rioters.
The fathers of three young men killed during riots in the British city of Birmingham were greeted by well-wishers on Thursday. They paid an emotional visit to the scene of the crime.
Brothers Shazad Ali and Abdul Musavir, 32 and 30, and Haroon Jahan, 19, were part of a group of Asian men who were hit by a car. They were attempting to protect their area from looters, a friend of the men told BBC radio.
[Tarik Jahan, Father of Haroon Jahan, Killed during Riots]:
"I'm proud of the community that just shook my hand. I'm proud of the people that are here today, standing in support with me and my friend Mr. Ghazanfar Ali here. But I hope the youngsters listen to the elder community and go back to the way we were all living together."
Police launched a murder inquiry after all three Muslim men died of their injuries.
Several men have since been arrested.
Riots spread to England's second largest city on Tuesday, after three nights of violence in London.
