| Description: | "London Whilst London Mayors interview premier - the unruly elements endeavor to break police cordon..." London Police hold back crowds at end of Downing Street. Pan shot of police containing crowd. Police attend to a man sitting injured along the side of a building. Several unidentified men (London mayors?) in hats and overcoats walk towards camera. Gathered in front of a doorway, they shake hands with each other and go inside. Line of police pushing against crowds en masse to keep them contained. The police are pushed back, reinforcements come to assist. High angle wider shot of crowds pushing against police, more agitated than in previous scenes. Photographer runs ahead of two policemen leading a rioter they have arrested. Presumably the demonstrations have something to do with the high level of unemployment. | |
