London shares rise

LONDON (AFP) - The FTSE 100 index of top companies rose 0.21 percent to 5,736.10 points in late morning deals.

The index won support from miners, which were rising thanks to firmer copper and platinum prices, dealers said.

Antofagasta jumped 3.38 percent to 703 pence and Anglo American gained 1.98 percent to 2,937 pence.
