That's all for our coverage on the riot at HMP Birmingham.

Here's a summary of what happened:

• Authorities were alerted to a disturbance in the prison at 09:00 GMT with inmates reportedly taking over two wings after keys were taken from a guard
• Unconfirmed reports suggested a prisoner had been stabbed in the melee
• G4S, which runs the prison, confirmed at about 14:00 that four wings had been taken by inmates
• Several 'Tornado squads' of specialist officers then gathered outside the prison before entering at about 20:00
• Riot teams restored order to all four wings just after 22:30

In a statement, the Ministry of Justice says: "After intervening at 20:35, the four wings affected were brought under Prison Service control, with all prisoners secured shortly after 22:00. 

"All prison staff are accounted for, with no reported injuries.

"One prisoner sustained injuries that required hospital treatment. There are thought to be no other serious injuries reported."

As many as 160 officers from specialist Tornado squads entered the prison in stages about two hours ago to regain control, the BBC understands.

Teams are assessing the damage caused to the wings, now inmates have been brought under control.

It is believed one prisoner who was hurt during the 12-hour riot at HMP Birmingham was taken to hospital with a fractured jaw and broken eye socket.
