Toxteth riots - 30th Anniversary

It was 30 years ago today that days of violence started in run-down area of Liverpool.

The Toxteth Riots were originally branded race-riots, but were later shown to be protests by both black and white people against what was described as "heavy handed policing".

During the riots 450 police officers were injured and 500 people were arrested.

Heart's Heather Clancy spoke to Sonia Bassey Williams who was just 17 when the riots happened.
