Now I see the images coming out of the UK, and it reminds me a lot of the chaos we experienced here in Tinsel Town back then.

Russia Today captures Clapham looters being filmed around 2130 GMT before the police took control of the situation.

The video is filmed from a car and you see dozens of looters walking with their haul. It comes as violence, vandalism and looting has now spread from London to Birmingham and Liverpool.

In all three cities rioters are clashing with police, torching buildings and cars. It follows unrest over the weekend after a 29 year-old-man was shot dead by police.
