British Prime Minister David Cameron will address Britain’s parliament today on the nation’s ongoing unrest. The legislative body has been recalled from summer recess to hold an emergency debate following four days of rioting. Cameron is expected to face questions about the cause of the riots and whether he will revisit the issue of budget cuts that critics say have overstretched British police. Police officers have begun raiding homes in search of rioting suspects, executing more than 100 warrants. The London Police said it would keep its unprecedented force of 16,000 officers in the street for at least one more night. Authorities say more than 1,200 people have been arrested so far, the majority in London. Police, meanwhile, have launched a murder investigation after three young men of Pakistani descent were killed in the city of Birmingham Tuesday night when a car crashed into a group of residents attempting to protect a local business. The father of one of the victims said he witnessed his son’s death.

Tarik Jahan: “I heard the thud and ran around, and I seen three people on the ground. And my instinct was to help the three people. I didn’t know who they were, who had been injured. I helped the first man, and somebody from behind told me that my son was lying dead behind me, so I started CPR on my own son. My face was covered in blood. My hands were covered in blood. Why? Why? The guy who killed him drove directly into the crowd and killed three innocent guys. Why? What was the point of doing that? I don’t understand. We’re here defending the community of all the problems that are going on in the country.”

The riots began last Saturday night in the North London section of Tottenham following a vigil for Mark Duggan, a 29-year-old black man shot dead by police. On Wednesday, a number of suspects accused of taking part in the rioting were arraigned in a London court. One of the suspects said he was arrested because of his ethnicity.
