Buildings burn in Manchester in more UK rioting

Youths set fire to a retail store, smashed other shop fronts and fought police in the centre of Manchester, northwest England, police said on Tuesday, as rioting that has gripped London in recent days continued to spread across the country.

"I can confirm a shop is on fire and 200 youths that gathered in the city centre have been chased by riot police and dispersed. Seven arrests have been made so far," a spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said. (Reuters)
