We’re just beneath the helicopter and just behind the water cannon which the police are using to try to drive back the crowd.
We’ve seen the crowd throwing bricks and rocks at the lines of police officers. There have been some bottles and stones that have come over.

That’s why the line of police officers has been advancing towards the crowd, trying to drive them back – and more reinforcements are arriving.
They’ve managed to push the crowd around the road and back into another community.

You can see on the road the sort of debris that’s been used to attack the police officers by the people making up this crowd this evening – they’ve been pulling bits of people’s walls apart to give them debris to throw at police.
We’ve seen a much heavier police presence on the streets than we did last night. The message is firmer that the police are not going to tolerate any violence or disturbance and that’s why the water cannon is out and in use.

There’s another water cannon just standing by at the other side of the road and another line of police Land Rovers and officers blocking the exit to the road.
Police are having some success, it looks like, in driving those people back but you can see there are some people still throwing bricks and rocks and bottles at the police.
Some fireworks are just going off here as well.
