an indefinite nationwide curfew in bangladesh as more than 90 people are killed amid worsening clashes between police and anti—government protesters. two hotels in britain where asylum seekers are staying have been attacked, as violent anti—immigration protests continue. downing street has confirmed there will be an emergency response meeting. and in an astonishingly close finish — noah lyles speeds to victory in the men's 100 meterfinal, securing gold for team usa. hello and welcome to the program. we begin in bangladesh where a day of unrest between police and anti—government protesters has left more than 90 people dead.

the un human rights chief has urged the government in bangladesh to stop targeting protesters. volker turk described the violence, in which 13 police officers were killed, as shocking. many of the worst clashes were between supporters of the prime minister, sheikh hasina, and demonstrators demanding her resignation. she has previously described the protesters as terrorists. mir sabbir, editor of the bbc�*s bangla service, sent us this update from dhaka. at least 30 members of police died in a single police station in the northern part of the country. the numbers that are increasing are not confirmed yet. there are reports of clashes despite the county and all of this happened on the first day of the total no cooperation movement. many of these deaths are the result of party members clashing with

kurt protesters as they decided to counter the mass protest with their own rallies today. the protesters have called for a long march towards the capital tomorrow while the government issued a press note: the protesters militants in their words and saying they will take tough action. the protesters said they won't back down until they make the government resigned and the government resigned and the government is not showing an indication of stepping down. all this is happening with the curfew has been extended for an indefinite period and mobile internet network is blocked across the country and everyone is wondering where this will add and how. —— where this will end. ali riaz is distinguished professor in politics & government at illinois state university. he told me this may well be a turning point for the sheikh hasina regime. i'm afraid that monday, as the day is starting in bangladesh, could become

the turning point of the regime as well as for the democracy of the country. and it could be a day of reckoning as well. what we have seen on the sunday, the mayhem and death, especially the chaos that we have seen in the death of 90 people, is not a regular day by any standard. but most importantly, we have seen the clashes that are unleashed by the partisan activists of the ruling party against students. and we also saw that police stations were attacked and several buildings were burned. all these things actually lead to a situation that is not only unstable — bangladesh is entering into an uncharted territory. sheikh hasina has called the protesters terrorists. 0n police action against protesters, her law minister said that their patience has limits. what does that tell us about where this might be heading? it indicates that the government is digging its heels, and it is trying to continue its survival effort with brute force, and they are

ready to actually shed more blood and lives, which is absolutely unacceptable proposition, because the millions of people have now come on the street demanding the resignation of the prime minister, and there is no other way out of this situation. so whatever they're painting this mass movement, as terrorist or militant, is not only unacceptable, this is outrageous, that they cannot even see what is happening outside there on the street. and former military personnel have expressed support with protesters, including the former army chief, general karim bhuiyan. do you think this may resonate with the serving military establishment, and how worrying could that then get for prime minister hasina? the demand and the protest by the former military officers, i see that as a more symbolic than having any substantive kind of impacts on the chain of command of the military at this point.

however, what i see as the military�*s position is that it appears that they are just taking a step back and assessing the situation. if the situation gets further worse, you know, further deteriorated in monday and tuesday, they will have to make a decision as to what to do. bangladesh has seen the intervention of military. that is not an actually a pleasant solution, but nevertheless, the other option would be through the constitutional means, which it appears that the government, particularly sheikh hasina, is the least interested at this moment. let's turn to the uk now where downing street has confirmed there will be an emergency response meeting on monday after more than 150 people were arrested following violent disorder in uk towns and cities. prime minister keir starmer has condemned the violence seen on sunday, and over the last six days since the murder of three young girls

in southport last monday. in rotherham there were ugly scenes outside a hotel where asylum seekers are believed to be housed. navtej johal sent this report from there anger, violence, destruction. these chaotic scenes are unlike any you'd expect on a summer's sunday afternoon. at times today, rotherham has felt lawless. it began this morning with a group of anti—racism protesters outside a hotel on the outskirts of this yorkshire town, where it's believed asylum—seekers are being housed. but they were quickly outnumbered by a larger group of anti—immigration protesters, many of them angry at the idea of asylum—seekers living in taxpayer—funded hotel rooms. as the afternoon wore on, chants weren't the only things being hurled at the police or the building.

in the last half an hour, things appear to have turned ugly. there have been windows smashed across the hotel. you can see hundreds of people in the street. police have been attacked, objects thrown at them, including fence panels pulled out from around the hotel, and things appear to be turning increasingly nasty. not long after, the crowd surged, more windows were smashed, and finally they managed to force their way in. fires were lit around the building. but things were igniting elsewhere, too. in middlesbrough, a large crowd clashed with police. officers were pushed back and a number of arrests were made as they tried to restore order. this afternoon, the prime minister reacted to the scenes of violence around the country. i utterly condemn the far—right thuggery we've seen this weekend. be in no doubt, those that have participated in this violence will face the full

force of the law. the police will be making arrests, individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow. i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves. back in rotherham, police confirmed at least ten officers have been injured. there's currently a stand—off taking place. you can see the line of police there. they've just pushed the people back around 50 feet. and look there — you can see a fire in the middle of the road. at least one police officer has been injured here today, and much of the violence we've seen this week has affected those tasked with protecting the public. and here's navtej with another update from rotherham. it's been a day of disturbing

violence and destruction, mainly centred around this hotel which houses asylum—seekers. it began with rival protests around the issue of immigration, but it quickly descended into violence, and that violence spilt into a flashpoint where the protesters — the anti—immigration protesters — managed to force their way into the hotel. the building is now clear of them and things have cleared up around here. there do remain still, however, pockets of tension around rotherham, around the area, and we're also hearing in the last couple hours of a similar incident occurring at a hotel housing asylum—seekers in tamworth, too, where one police officer has been injured. but these aren't the only places — in middlesbrough and in bolton, we've seen clashes with police and other people as well, so this appears to be something which is not going away.

the scenes we've seen across the uk over the last few days will continue to cast a long shadow over what's coming, and there are still a lot of issues which need to be sorted out. so a lot of dismay and many headaches around what's happened in the uk across the day. in bolton in manchester there were heated scenes when anti—immigration protesters were confronted by several hundred masked people shouting allahu akbar, or "god is greatest". 0ur reporter phillip norton was there. it had been advertised online as a "pro—british march" in bolton and it was met with a small counterprotest at first. but around half—an—hour after it began, around 300 people — mainly asian men, many with faces covered — charged towards the town hall. shouting they chanted "allahu akbar," meaning "god is great," with fist and hands in the air, towards opposing protesters, who shouted back.

riot police brought in horses to form a line. eggs were thrown and both sets of protesters then ran into surrounding streets. greater manchester police quickly sent officers to try and keep them all apart, but it led to a major flashpoint. smoke bombs were thrown, fireworks set off, bits of tile and stone were launched. police managed to keep the volatile situation under control and both sides apart, forcing a return to the town hall. at one point, a cricket and baseball bat were confiscated. after a number of hours being kept apart in front of bolton town hall, the police are now moving these counter protesters away from the area. in the past hour, the police have also been granted extra powers, giving them authority

to ask people to remove face coverings that was concealing their identities. community leaders who were part of the counterprotest said they wanted to send a strong message that racism and islamophobia wasn't welcome here. they're jumping on anything, do you know what i mean? and they're trying to divide our communities. i mean, look — i'm born and bred here, my kids are born and bred here. we're part of britain now. you know, they've got to accept it. what's all this about "take �*em home" and "send �*em home"? you know what i mean? an increased police presence remains after a day of tension. phillip norton, bbc news, bolton. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

to the middle east now and an israeli air strike has hit two schools in gaza city which were housing people

displaced by the war with hamas. palestinian media say a number of people have been killed and others injured. the israeli military said it had struck hamas "control rooms" in the school buildings. on saturday, at least 10 palestinians were reportedly killed when israeli aircraft struck the hamama school in gaza city. the israeli military said the building was being used by hamas militants to manufacture weapons. saudi arabia hasjoined a growing number of countries including france, the us, and the uk urging their citizens to leave lebanon immediately amid fears of an all—out war between israel and hezbollah. 0ur middle east correspondent, hugo bachega, has this update from beirut. that's the real concern that the retaliation from iran and hezbollah, after those two assassinations in tehran and here in beirut, could spark a wider regional conflict. american officials believe that iran is planning a wide scale attack on israel, perhaps bigger than the one that happened in april,

when iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones. they also believe that this could be a coordinated attack between iran and its proxies across the region, including the heavily armed hezbollah here in lebanon. now, countries around the world are urging their citizens to leave lebanon. the uk has temporarily removed the families of officials working at the embassy here in beirut. now, flights in beirut are being suspended, cancelled, tickets have sold out. but i was at the airport here in beirut earlier today. it was busy, but there were no signs of panic. now, diplomatic efforts continue to try to de—escalate tensions. and in israel today, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, said the country was prepared for any possibility. but he gave a warning that israel would retaliate

to any act of aggression. for more, let's speak tojean—loup samaan, senior research fellow at the middle east institute at the national university of singapore. hejoins us now in studio. iran has promised a �*harsh punishment�* for israel, there are evacuations from the border with lebanon — but there's this lull before the storm. are iranjust taking time to prepare an attack do there are evacuation orders with lebanon and there is this law before the storm. what do you make of that? is iran taking time to prepare for an attack or is this what part of the strategy to keep israel guessing? i the strategy to keep israel guessing?— the strategy to keep israel auuessin? ~ , . guessing? i think there is an element of _ guessing? i think there is an element of that. _ guessing? i think there is an element of that. an - guessing? i think there is an | element of that. an element guessing? i think there is an i element of that. an element of psychological warfare to put the anxiety at the head of all the anxiety at the head of all the israelis and beyond that also the governments, both in israel and its western allies.

as we saw in the last few days, there is probably a lot of discussions around the iranian secret circles around what type of retaliation they are considering. we are speculating if they will be co—ordinating with hezbollah and it takes time to co—ordinate that response. that could explain the time we see for this response. i the time we see for this re5ponse-_ the time we see for this response. the time we see for this resonse. ., ., ., ., response. i want to go to the geopolitics — response. i want to go to the geopolitics again _ response. i want to go to the geopolitics again in _ response. i want to go to the geopolitics again in a - response. i want to go to the geopolitics again in a bit - response. i want to go to the geopolitics again in a bit but| geopolitics again in a bit but he spent the last two months in israel travelling around. give us a sense of what it is like, is there an appetite for them to work towards the possible use by agreement? what is it like? , , , ., like? the first thing is you realise how _ like? the first thing is you realise how fragmented i like? the first thing is you i realise how fragmented and divided the population is. that is something very visible. also the thing is the first major and obvious concern for the population is hostage release. that is the most important

aspect. with the posters of hostages everywhere inside the country. beyond that, there is concern more and more, there is no clarity on what is the end state for the war. that combines with discontent or the government. we should not forget there have been weekly protests against the benjamin netanyahu government before the war and after. if you weeks and few months where wasn't positive this came back. we are having this combination of obsession for the beliefs of the hostages still inside a stop plus a huge content for the government. you see at the same time warand the government. you see at the same time war and domestic political crisis.— political crisis. after the assassination, - political crisis. after the assassination, things i political crisis. after the | assassination, things are political crisis. after the - assassination, things are on the boil again. the us also deployed additional warships and fighter jets deployed additional warships

and fighterjets to help defend israel against possible attacks. do you think they are preparing for a repeat from what we saw in iran and its missile and trade attacks we witnessed in april?— missile and trade attacks we witnessed in april? they hope it won't be _ witnessed in april? they hope it won't be more _ witnessed in april? they hope it won't be more than - witnessed in april? they hope it won't be more than what. witnessed in april? they hope j it won't be more than what we saw in april. the fact that they are deploying the new military presence i think indicates they are preparing for more. i would be surprised if iran did the same as it did in april because of the idea that line has been crossed from their standpoint and they want to push further against the israelis. that is probably something in the us military strategy at the moment. i5 strategy at the moment. is there a chance the assassination of all these top leaders we see in hezbollah or hamas could provide prime minister benjamin netanyahu enough of that when he is looking for the he will be more willing to perhaps accept the long—term ceasefire? yes

willing to perhaps accept the long-term ceasefire? yes and no. the figures _ long-term ceasefire? yes and no. the figures a _ long-term ceasefire? yes and no. the figures a few - long-term ceasefire? yes and no. the figures a few months | no. the figures a few months ago we were speculating that you have them being killed, it would give the photo of a war victory that benjamin netanyahu was looking for. we have dave who apparently has been killed by the idf, the political leader of a lot of commanders that have been killed. still reportedly living inside one of the total stock beyond the killing of those leaders, the point is bijman that you never clearly articulated an exit strategy. even if you have those leaders being killed, it is not clear what the israelis are preparing for in terms of how do they leave gaza, who would be in charge of gaza, benjamin netanyahu wanted to avoid that big question because thatis avoid that big question because that is a question that could lead to the explosion of his

own coalition with the far right. it could give him room for announcing the end of the war but it is not clear if that could truly lead to the stabilisation of gaza. irate could truly lead to the stabilisation of gaza. we will have to live _ stabilisation of gaza. we will have to live there _ stabilisation of gaza. we will have to live there but - have to live there but interesting points. thank you. joining us in the city on the developing situation in the middle east we continue to track. us vice—president kamala harris is interviewing potential contenders to be her running mate — ahead of a battleground tour next week. among those travelling to washington, dc, to meet ms harris are governorjosh shapiro, senator mark kelly and governor tim walz. she is expected to name her vice—presidential pick by tuesday. i'm joined now by max kutner — senior reporter at law360. he joins us now from new york. kamala harris has been speaking on sunday with mark kelly,

josh shapiro and tim walz — what are the factors that will play into her decision? there is a lot of questions, a lot of factors that will play into this. one of them and i think the most immediate factor is how can this vice presidential pick bring more people into the harris kemp and get more people to vote for kamala harris? that would mean perhaps getting someone more on the moderate side, someone who can alleviate concerns that perhaps harris is pretty progressive on certain issues. that is why we have the names we do have. these are people considered more moderate, at least more moderate than harris is. there is also good to be thinking about the states involved. some of the seas we see, in these pics, pennsylvania, really crucial state to win for the democrats, arizona, that is on the mind as

well. finally we have to think longer term. well. finally we have to think longerterm. entre well. finally we have to think longer term. entre harris is longer term. entre harris is longer term. entre harris is longerterm. is longer term. entre harris is longer term. is this someone i want to be governing with and working closely with over the next four years? that has to be also on the mind of harris as she does these interviews this weekend. you've interviewed mark kelly a while back — what he would be like if selected as her vp pick? he opined to be about seeing the view of earth from the international space station and remarked how in just ten minutes you can see both the atlantic and pacific oceans. also struck me as someone quite serious and having a serious demeanour. made a couple of jokes to me but he was so straightfaced about it with no change in his voice that it was hard to even tell he was joking. he is really emerged as one of the front runners, a lot of people in the us in the past

hour or two i trying to read the tea leaves, looking at a couple of tweets, he first weeded this evening that it was not his mission to serve arizona. he then deleted that sweet and more recently in the past hour or so tweeted something along the lines of as he has done in the past, what your country calls to serve, your country calls to serve, you serve. a lot of people are looking into what that means. josh shapiro, the pennsylvania governor, keenan and today and we are seeing a lot of conservative attacks on shapiro and can kind of look to the conservative side, the republicans are taking on tc may be who is the front—runner. interesting to see in the next day or so to harass tutors from this group. ——to see who harris chooses in this group. we shall get some sort of indication in l get some sort of indication in the next day or two. thank you.

let's turn to paris now, where there has been an amazing photo finish in the mens 100 metre sprint final of the olympics. in one of the most anticipated events of the entire 0lympics, team usa's noah lyles took home the gold. he won the race in 9.79 seconds, overtaking kishane thompson ofjamaica at the final moment to win by just five thousandths of a second. it really couldn't have been any closer. looking at all the updates from the lipids and other developing stories —— from the olympics. the unrest of the main focus in the uk right now. that's all for now. stay with bbc news. hello there. the weather's looking quite mixed for this upcoming new week.

generally speaking, lower pressure will affect more northern parts of the country. and it is here where we'll see outbreaks of rain, whereas further south, closer to higher pressure, this is where we'll see the drier and warmer weather with some sunshine. now, this area of low pressure could bring some issues for the northwest of the uk with heavy rain. could see some local flooding in places, particularly argyll and the highlands. so a very wet, windy start to monday here. eventually, the rain begins to push south—eastwards through the day, brightening up behind it and the winds easing, but a blustery day further south and east. plenty of sunshine in the north and the west to start tuesday,

that weather front weakening as it pushes towards east and southeast england. it eventually clears away, skies brighten up as well, so not a bad afternoon. just a few blustery showers for western scotland and northern ireland. those temperatures range from around 18 to 2a, 25 degrees in the southeast. now, that area of low pressure begins to move. on wednesday, it's sitting across the northern half of the country. that's going to bring a windy day to much of scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england, with showers or longer spells of rain. so those rainfall totals really beginning to mount up at this point across western scotland. but for much of england and wales, a dry day to come, quite a bit of sunshine around, variable cloud. yes, it will be breezy here, not as windy as it'll be further north. and these sorts of temperatures, pretty much what we expect this time of year — around the high teens in the north, low 20s further south. as we move out to wednesday into thursday, that area of low pressure pulls away, but another one hot on its heels starts to push in off the atlantic. and this one, i think, will bring a more widespread,

cloudier, wetter, windier day, certainly across central, northern and western areas. once again, the rain will be heavy across the northwest. but it could be perhaps the midlands, southern, south—east england could stay dry altogether. top temperatures 23 degrees, given some brightness, high teens further north. and for the end of the week, it looks like it stays unsettled across more northern areas, with the greater chance of seeing sunshine and warmth across the south and southeast.

all eyes on australia for news of interest rates — we'll tell you how us monetary policy is impacting discussions. it was a direct message on my personal instagram. but i of course knew straightaway it was some kind of scam, it had to be. but i wasn't sure which so i decided to play along. and the bbc gets a rare insight into what's being called pig butchering scams. hello and welcome to business today. i'm arunoday mukharji. in the coming hours, australia's central bank will begin its 2—day meeting. experts are hopeful of a rate cut some time this year but the rba is expected to keep rates as they are for now. last week, a number of central banks tweaked monetary policy. the bank of england delivered its first rate cut in four years, citing lower inflation.
