Let me be clear!Prime Minister David Cameron has said water cannon will be available to the police to deal with rioting, if needed.
- He also said baton rounds were already authorised for use by police.
- Mr Cameron was speaking following a meeting of the government's emergency committee, Cobra, which had been assessing a fourth night of rioting in cities across England.
- The worst trouble was in Manchester and Salford, where more than 100 arrests were made.
- Mr Cameron said every option was being considered and whatever resources the police need they would get.
