A "vacuum of public safety" in Britain allowed August's riots to escalate out of control, US "supercop" Bill Bratton has said.

He told BBC Newsnight: "In certain areas it was perceived that the police were not there and anything goes."

The former police chief - who cut gang violence in some of America's toughest inner cities - is in the UK to advise the government on police strategy.

On Monday he was briefed by the new Met Commissioner, Bernard Hogan-Howe.

In an exclusive interview with Newsnight immediately after their meeting, Mr Bratton said: "So many people got involved so quickly in so many places that they took advantage of a vacuum of public safety."
