2:01 pm
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.
2:02 pm
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
2:03 pm
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
2:04 pm
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
2:05 pm
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

2:08 pm
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

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

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

2:24 pm
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
2:25 pm
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,
2:27 pm
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.
2:28 pm
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.
