to contain riots in the country, after more than a hundred people were arrested on saturday. ministers warn rioters they'll face tough action. those people who have been involved in this disorder over the last few days will be found by the police, will be arrested, will be taken through the courts. israel strikes targets in southern lebanon, after hezbollah fires a barrage of rockets across the border. france becomes the latest country to urge its nationals to leave lebanon amid fears of a wider conflict in the middle east. at least 25 people have been killed in bangladesh — in clashes between police and anti—government protesters. and another medalfor team gb in dressage on day nine of the paris olympic games — and the men's 100 metre final later.

hello and welcome. we start here in the uk, where more than a hundred people have been arrested after demonstrations organised by the far—right descended into scenes of violence in towns and cities across england and northern ireland on saturday. clashes broke out at far—right rallies in locations including liverpool, manchester, bristol, and hull, as well as belfast. rioters threw missiles at police, injuring a number of officers, and in some places looted shops or set them on fire. the government insists that the police have "all the resources they need" to deal with the disorder. many of the demonstrations have been fuelled by anti—immigrant sentiment. leanne brown reports now from hull. charred remains of stolen goods, smashed windows and debris, still strewn across the streets.

this hull in the aftermath of last night's riots. it was a night of violence the city had never seen before in recent times. fireworks were thrown, cars were set on fire and police officers were injured, but today volunteers involved in the clean—up, keen to show that this is not representative of their city. i think it was really important to show the people of springbank, our black and asian community, that, you know, if people are going to bring 200 people out to incite hate, we are going to bring 20,000 out to incite good. i didn't agree with what they were doing. i think there is a better way of communicating anger, channelling it for a force for good. yeah, it is really sad. we had to do something. as you can see, i've got a little boy. - it is the world i want him to grow

up in, so, yeah, just come out, i make a positive change, - show people that this is hull. for some attending yesterday's protest, they feel they have legitimate concerns. i'm sick of people telling us that white working class people are fascist because we want to see an end to people coming over illegally on boats from safe countries. protests which turned into riots took place across england — liverpool, manchester, bristol and blackpool all saw unrest. the government says those responsible will pay the price. the lord chancellor has made it very clear that there are prison places available so, if people are arrested, if they are remanded into custody, some have already been put into custody, those places are there. we also know that if the courts need to sit, there will be the judiciary, decisions made on extending court hours if that is needed. calm may have returned to some, cities but police are bracing for the possibility

of further protests. leanne brown, bbc news. with me is our reporter leigh milner. we heard their police are expecting more. what is the latest on that? today will be all about picking up the pieces, lots of clean—up operations taking place. we know that in hull at the moment, street cleaners have been working through the night to clear up the debris from yesterday's finance. we saw those horrific images of shops being looted and set on fire. i have seen lots of people living there are line, who have been out on the streets to see the devastation left behind. they are appalled. volunteers turned up this morning at seven o'clock to help out and i'm sure other cities will be doing the same. today, there are a few protests going on. not as many as yesterday, but actually over and rather him, for example, there were

protesters outside a holiday in express hotel which is believed to house asylum seekers. a police van was attacked, it was rocked by protesters, rocks were thrown, many of them waving the saint george and union flags. they've been chancing, you are not welcome and some of them out wearing masks. we have been told those demonstrators have now left but the road is still blocked by police their cause and align other officers are still guarding the entrance to that hotel. thank you, our reporter _ entrance to that hotel. thank you, our reporter leigh _ entrance to that hotel. thank you, our reporter leigh milner. - let's speak to kevin hurley, a former senior public order commander for the metropolitan police. thank you forjoining us. can i get your reaction, please, do what he saw yesterday and into last night? it is a predictable outcome of the offence of last week where people

have conflated a whole lot of issues, the tragic murder of the three children and others seriously injured and in some ways, police gas lighting on the background of that person. lighting on the background of that erson. y lighting on the background of that erson. , i. lighting on the background of that erson. , lighting on the background of that erson. y . person. sorry, did you say police as person. sorry, did you say police gas lighting _ person. sorry, did you say police gas lighting them? _ person. sorry, did you say police gas lighting them? yes, - person. sorry, did you say police gas lighting them? yes, gas - gas lighting them? yes, gas lighting--- — gas lighting them? yes, gas lighting... what _ gas lighting them? yes, gas lighting... what do - gas lighting them? yes, gas lighting... what do you - gas lighting them? yes, gas| lighting... what do you mean gas lighting them? yes, gas - lighting... what do you mean by that? i meant _ lighting... what do you mean by that? i meant being _ lighting... what do you mean by that? i meant being economical| lighting... what do you mean by - that? i meant being economical with the truth about _ that? i meant being economical with the truth about what _ that? i meant being economical with the truth about what they _ that? i meant being economical with the truth about what they knew - that? i meant being economical with | the truth about what they knew about the truth about what they knew about the person and regard the fact they thought, if they had declared they were of an ethnic minority, this might cause a problem. of course, people in the southport area word spread, people knew they —— who it was... spread, people knew they -- who it was... �* , , ., spread, people knew they -- who it was...�* , ., ., ., ., ., was... i'm sure you are aware around the conditions — was... i'm sure you are aware around the conditions of _ was... i'm sure you are aware around the conditions of what _ was... i'm sure you are aware around the conditions of what police - was... i'm sure you are aware around the conditions of what police are - the conditions of what police are allowed to say when a case is active and when a suspect has been

about the mass immigration in the country, particularly people who come from might be described as more challenging areas to listen. needs very careful management of the perceptions of those people. if you deliberately go quiet, they are going to make it up and guess so if they had said, this is a 17—year—old youth, born in wales but of rwandan heritage, there is no indication there is any link to terrorism or islamist belief systems, that would have stopped a lot of that anger. if i can finish, what i am saying is that in these times, you cannot let people make their own minds up. you've got to give accurate information. you don't give their name because he is under the age of 18 but you need to give people something mislead them. i 18 but you need to give people something mislead them. i must “ump in now to

he is from an ethnic minority but brought up as a christian.- brought up as a christian. it very much sounds — brought up as a christian. it very much sounds like _ brought up as a christian. it very much sounds like their— brought up as a christian. it very much sounds like their response j brought up as a christian. it very - much sounds like their response but it is taken away in terms of the action for what people did, from the individuals themselves. i’m action for what people did, from the individuals themselves.— individuals themselves. i'm not takin: individuals themselves. i'm not taking responsibility _ individuals themselves. i'm not taking responsibility away - individuals themselves. i'm not i taking responsibility away because it is my colleagues and my family members who are in the front line dealing with this. they are taking the redbacks. what i am saying is you cannot, you have to be very careful now with tempers the way they are and people's sense of anger about what happened in the preceding days, way had an army officer stabbed in the back, the misleading reputation in the north—west. that reputation in the north-west. that is a different _ reputation in the north-west. that is a different case _ reputation in the north—west. that is a different case there, we will leave it there.— is a different case there, we will leave it there. you are missing the oint. leave it there. you are missing the point- people _ leave it there. you are missing the point. people conflate _ leave it there. you are missing the point. people conflate this... - leave it there. you are missing the point. people conflate this... we l point. people conflate this... we are worsening that conflation by mentioning the two cases together there. thank you, kevin hurley, the

now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. it's day nine of the paris olympics, 20 gold medals, with novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz currently playing for one at roland garros in the men's 0lympic final. alcaraz looking to follow in rafael nadal�*s footsteps and become the second singles player to win gold for spain, while djokovic is searching for that all—elusive olympic gold to add to his record 2a grand slam titles. djokovic trying to edge himself over the line in that game. it is tight at the moment. to the athletics at the stade de france, where women's 100 metre championjulien alfred was back in action less than 1a hours after becoming st lucia's first 0lympic medallist, alfred returned for the heats of the 200 metres and taking a comfortable win in 22.111 seconds

to book her place in the semi—finals on monday. also through to those 200m semi—finals is dina asher—smith, who was bitterly disappointed not to make the 100m final, she finished second in her heat behind nigeria's favour 0fili. great britain's daryll neita, who finished fourth in that 100m final and bianca williams are also through. one woman who won't be competing in those semi—finals is jamaica's shericka jackson. she had withdrawn from the 100m to focus on the 200m, in which she is the two—time reigning world champion, but she did not line up for her heat on sunday. there is a tense final round in the men's golf on the outskirts of paris, with as many as seven major winners in the running for the gold medal. and it's spain'sjon rahm who currently leads the way at the top of the leaderboard — currently 19 under, three shots clear ofjapan's hideki matsuyama and great britain's tommy fleetwood, who recovered from two early bogeys to remain in touch as we close

in on the back nine at le golf national. the scheduled swim training for monday's mixed team triathlon has been cancelled for the second day in a row after concerns over the water quality in the seine. 0lympic organisers made the decision on sunday's session because the water quality in the river seine had dropped back below the required standard after heavy rain towards the end of last week. this comes after the men's triathlon had been postponed by a day to wednesday because of poor water quality following heavy rain last weekend. taiwanese boxer lin yu—ting has become the second boxer at the centre of a gender eligibility row to secure a medal at the paris 0lympics lin beat bulgaria's svetlana staneva by unanimous decision to reach the semi—finals of the women's featherweight division. like algerian welterweight imane khelif, who progressed on saturday, lin is competing in paris despite being banned from last year's world championships by the international boxing

association after reportedly failing gender eligibility tests. away from the olympics, there was a impressive win for liverpool over manchester united in a pre—season friendly in south carolina. in front of a crowd of over 77,000, goals from fabio carvalho, curtisjones and kostas tsimikas saw arne slot�*s side run out comfortable 3—0 winners, liverpool, finishing their tour of the us with a perfect record. united, meanwhile, take on manchester city in the community shield next saturday. and england opener zak crawley has been ruled out of the test series against sri lanka later this month with a fractured finger. crawley suffered the injury while attempting to take a catch at second slip in the third and final test against the west indies at edgbaston last week. dan lawrence will open alongside ben duckett in crawley�*s absence. the first test against sri lanka starts in manchester on august 21st.

anything could happen. joining me now is ben haylett, an olympic reserve for the kayak cross gb team. it's so lovely to talk to you. before we start, for those who don't know about the sport, just describe as best you can exactly what happens, what makes kayak across different? . , . ~ happens, what makes kayak across different? ., , ., ~ . , , happens, what makes kayak across different? ,’ . , ., ., different? kayak cross is a two -hased different? kayak cross is a two phased sport. _ different? kayak cross is a two phased sport, we _ different? kayak cross is a two phased sport, we have - different? kayak cross is a two phased sport, we have a - different? kayak cross is a two phased sport, we have a time| different? kayak cross is a two - phased sport, we have a time trial down the course which puts you into the seeding for the next round, the second phase. the second phase is entirely head—to—head. we start off with round one and you build your way through the round. it is full contact, high octane and anything goes apart from head buts. what contact, high octane and anything goes apart from head buts. what you mean full contact? _

to contribute as a country to the development of these athletes and the collegiate system plays such an important role in that. how much pressure is there, do you think, on team usa to get the job done in track and field, given the job in the pool was a bit disappointing this year? you know, last night, swimming had an amazing night. we are focused on our game plan. we're here to execute. we have 47 governing bodies with amazing athletes here, so we're really going to step up and do the best that we can. and we are expecting some amazing performances for our athletes and we could not be more proud of melissa and sha'carri last night, even in the 100, and we are looking for great athletes tonight. tell me about your own work in track and field, because you very much want to focus, not only on the spot, but also on diversity and inclusion. what does diversity and inclusion look like in the us track and field team? yes, for us, athletically, administratively, with our programmes, we are very intentional about diversity and inclusion. we think it has been the key to our success commercially and on the field of play but most importantly, when we want

to have a cultural impact, it is important that we have people with different points of view on our team so we could not be more excited about that but it has been, you know, something we have been focused on as an organisation for the last 12—15 years. you've got la coming up in 2028. how big is that going to be for the us track and field athletes? and also, what kind of unique pressures will that bring one you, do you think, over the next four years? yeah, it is amazing to see everything it takes to execute an event at this magnitude. we were honoured to host the world championships a few years ago and so, for us, learning everything that we can. i know the athletes will be excited to compete on home soil, and so it adds another element of pressure but, you know, the athletes will be great there to perform in front of the home crowd. we will be hoping for us success later today. hello there.

0ur sunday story so far has been a rather cloudy one, and if you get to see some sunshine, it will be fleeting glimpses, as depicted in mawgan in cornwall. now, there is also some cloud and rain further north and west, pushing its way through northern ireland and western fringes of scotland as well. cloudy skies generally through scotland, northwest england and wales. if we get some brightness, it is likely to be further south and east, temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. so, down on the last few days. now, the winds will continue to strengthen to the north and west, gusts in excess of 45 miles an hour. and the rain will turn quite heavy, particularly across western scotland. we could see as much to 2—3 inches of rain, tied into this area of low pressure before it eases away. so, a wet night here. elsewhere, we are going to start off monday morning with that rain lingering for a time. some of it quite heavy across western scotland, eastern scotland should be largely dry and bright first thing in the morning. a fairly narrow but intense a band of rain moving its way through northern ireland,

and quite a lot of cloud generally through the irish sea, thick enough for a spot or two of drizzle. so, it will be east of the pennines that sees the best of the brightness. and with the wind direction reverting once again back to a south—westerly, tapping into some very warm air across the near continent, it is going to feel quite humid once again. temperatures should actually peak across much of eastern england at 26 or 27 degrees, that is pretty close to 80 fahrenheit. now, as we move through monday night into tuesday, that frontal system, still pretty narrow but intense band of rain will bring a spell of wet weather as it seeks its way steadily south. it stays quite warm as well in the southeast, where we have had that heat. an uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep, once again. but the risk of some rain first thing in the morning, great news for gardeners and growers out there across lincolnshire, east anglia and southeast england. a little bit of welcome rain for us, brightening up behind, a scattering of showers into the far northwest. fresher here, 16—19.

highs of 2a or 25 still possible in east anglia. but low pressure it never too far away, sitting up into the far northwest once again by the middle of the week. and that is how we are likely to see the remainder of this week panning out. scotland and northern ireland, showers or longer spells of rain, and drier and warmer in the south.

this is bbc news.

the headlines: british police say they're ready to deploy thousands more officers, in expectation of further violent far—right protests. dozens of people were arrested in towns and cities across england and northern ireland on saturday. those people who have been involved in this disorder over the last few days will be found by the police, will be arrested, will be taken through the courts. we want to make it very clear, there are penalties, there are consequences. in other news, israel's air force strikes targets in southern lebanon, after hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets across the border. the israeli military says most of the rockets were intercepted. several countries urge their nationals to leave lebanon, as fears grow of a wider conflict in the middle east. iran has vowed "severe" retaliation against israel, which it blames for the death of hamas political chief ismail haniyeh in tehran on wednesday.
