In pictures: London riots spread to cities across England

Just a few more images of the madness that's going on here in the UK at the minute and below is a list of the problems experienced to date:

In other developments: West Midlands Police have started a murder inquiry after two pedestrians were killed in a road accident. It is not known if the incident is linked to overnight rioting but it is thought the men were protecting their neighbourhood at the time Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said his force had faced "extraordinary levels of violence from groups of criminals intent on committing widespread disorder" on Tuesday. Many police cordons that were around the area were lifted just before 02:00 BST

Some 23 people have been charged in the West Midlands with a total of 229 arrests following sporadic disorder in Wolverhampton, while youths have smashed shop windows and set cars alight in nearby West Bromwich

In Birmingham, riot police surrounded the Mailbox, the city's high-end shopping centre, following the disturbances seen in the area on Monday night.

Canning Circus police station in central Nottingham was firebombed by a male gang on Tuesday evening

Three people have been arrested in Gloucester after police officers came under attack from youths throwing rocks and bottles from 23:00 BST

In Leicester, a group of up to 100 youths attacked shops and threw items at police

Metropolitan Police have arrested 768 people and charged 105 in connection with the violence in the capital, including a 21-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life following a fire which took hold of the Reeves Furniture store in Croydon on Monday night

A 26-year-old man found shot in a car in Croydon, amid rioting in the south London town, has died in hospital Government minister Michael Gove has praised Met's response to the riots, saying bringing in an extra 10,000 officers helped to prevent further riots from taking place in London

Meanwhile, two 18-year-olds were arrested in Folkestone, Kent, and a 16-year-old boy in Glasgow was charged with breach of the peace while another man, aged 18, has been arrested. All relate to allegations of inciting violence through internet social networking sites

I'd really love to make a detailed map with different colour shading for each day of the riots, just to see how far it spread in how many days.
