Children march in riot-hit area
Children in Birmingham took part in a peace march on Wednesday to protest against the rioting that happened there last weekend.

Local women also walked in the peaceful demonstration which took place on Lozells Road, the area at the centre of the violent clashes.

Organisers said the march was important so people to share their grief before finding solutions to problems.

During the riots one man died and 35 people were injured.

March organiser Alliya Stennett said the government needs to pay more attention to people living in inner city areas.

She said: "Teachers are doing their best but with poor facilities. It is a very hard struggle."

Newsround spoke to children in the area who all said they want the problems there to be sorted out quickly but peacefully, as no one wants a return to the violence of the weekend.

Meeting

After the march a meeting will be held for people to talk about why there are problems in the area, and how they can make things better.

The violence is thought to have started after rumours of an alleged attack on a girl, but police have yet to trace her.
