i have asked for early and identification of those involved in the process, you will feel the full force of the law. as communities start to repair the damage, the prime minister has described the disorder as "far—right thuggery". targets included two hotels housing asylum seekers. more than 150 people have been arrested across the uk since saturday. here in rotherham, the clean—up has pretty much finished after protesters stormed this hotel housing asylum seekers. an emergency meeting of cabinet ministers, defence chiefs and the police has been taking place as some mps urge parliament to be recalled. also on the programme: drama at the triathlon as team gb win bronze in the mixed team relay after a photo finish.

and bronze in mixed relay following a review by officials after a photo finish involving beth pot at the line. good afternoon. the prime minister has vowed the "full force of the law" will be brought to bear on those who took part in the violent protests in towns and cities across the uk over the weekend. sir keir starmer was speaking following an emergency meeting in downing street bringing together cabinet ministers, the police and defence chiefs. more than 150 people were arrested during clashes over the weekend, with some charged and appearing in court today.

we have correspondents in some of places affected by riots and we'll be talking to them live through the programme, as well as getting the political reaction. but first, let's get the latest from our correspondent ellie price. rioters claimed these streets at the weekend, but left it to others to clear up. yesterday, the main violence boiled over in rotherham... here in bolton... in middlesbrough... and down in tamworth. in rotherham, antiracism protesters had gathered outside a hotel where 240 asylum seekers were inside, aware it was likely to be a target. they were soon outnumbered by anti—immigration protesters angry at the idea of such migrants being housed in taxpayer—funded hotel rooms. chanting: yorkshire, yorkshire, yorkshire! | they were shouting, "yorkshire!" they smashed windows, lit fires and attacked police, and managed to break

into the holiday inn express before being beaten back. police say 500 people were involved. they've arrested six but expect that number to increase significantly. it was ultimately a disgusting display of thuggery, continuing well into the evening, with our policing operation only finishing around 5am. officers have worked through the night to begin identifying those involved in these horrendous scenes. please be assured, if you were there, we will find you. but it was a similar picture in staffordshire last night too. the holiday inn express in tamworth was attacked with at least three petrol bombs and police had bricks thrown at them. one officer is thought to have a broken arm. in bolton, what started as a "pro—british march", as described online, soon escalated, as counter protesters charged towards the town hall chanting "allahu akbar" — god is great.

it became a street battle as police tried to separate the different groups. as the extent of the damage becomes clearer, there have been calls for the prime minister to recall parliament, with mps currently not due back to westminster till next month. this morning the government held an emergency cobra meeting. this is not protest. it is pure violence, and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our muslim communities, so the full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities. it's been a week since three little girls were killed at a dance class in southport. five children are still in hospital, as well as the two adults who suffered critical injuries. there was violence here too last week, but for now, the streets have been reclaimed for peaceful sorrow and reflection. ellie price, bbc news.

police in south yorkshire have condemned what they called mindless violence outside a hotel housing asylum seekers in rotherham. our reporter jessica lane is there now. jess. yes, this police tape has gone up in the last few hours, saying it is a crime scene here. we have also seen fire investigation officer is going on, making sure they collect all the evidence they need in order to bring about prosecutions. we have heard from south yorkshire police this morning that six people have been arrested so far for their involvement in the violent disorder here over the weekend. the police say that is only the beginning. they say that is only the beginning. they say they are planning to review cctv footage, videos posted online and photos to make sure they can find and identify and charge people who were involved in disorder here. after the violence and disorder here

yesterday, the clean—up has begun. along with the council staff, some who live nearby came to help this morning. we want people to know that this is still a community around here, and not everyone�*s like the people that came yesterday. for not everyone's like the people that came yesterday-— came yesterday. for those living next to the _ came yesterday. for those living next to the hotel, _ came yesterday. for those living next to the hotel, this _ came yesterday. for those living next to the hotel, this morning i came yesterday. for those living i next to the hotel, this morning was about repairing their property. their fence panels were about repairing their property. theirfence panels were ripped off yesterday and used as weapons to throw out the police and to try and break the windows at the holiday inn. my inn. my wife rang and said they were in the garden — my wife rang and said they were in the garden retrieving the wood to throw_ the garden retrieving the wood to throw at— the garden retrieving the wood to throw at the police. i told herjust to get— throw at the police. i told herjust to get the — throw at the police. i told herjust to get the cat and go to my friend's, _ to get the cat and go to my friend's, so she abandoned the house and left _ and left. as - and left. as we were coming out and left. — as we were coming out with the kids, one of— as we were coming out with the kids, one of the _ as we were coming out with the kids, one of the neighbours _ as we were coming out with the kids, one of the neighbours got _ as we were coming out with the kids, one of the neighbours got in - as we were coming out with the kids, one of the neighbours got in the - one of the neighbours got in the garden — one of the neighbours got in the garden to— one of the neighbours got in the garden to try— one of the neighbours got in the garden to try and _ one of the neighbours got in the garden to try and hose - one of the neighbours got in the garden to try and hose down - one of the neighbours got in thei garden to try and hose down the fence _ garden to try and hose down the fence to— garden to try and hose down the fence to try— garden to try and hose down the fence to try and _ garden to try and hose down the fence to try and keep _ garden to try and hose down the fence to try and keep it - garden to try and hose down the fence to try and keep it from - fence to try and keep it from taking. — fence to try and keep it from taking, because _ fence to try and keep it from taking, because if— fence to try and keep it from taking, because if it- fence to try and keep it from taking, because if it had - fence to try and keep it from l taking, because if it had gone, fence to try and keep it from - taking, because if it had gone, we have _ taking, because if it had gone, we have got— taking, because if it had gone, we have got quite _ taking, because if it had gone, we have got quite a _ taking, because if it had gone, we have got quite a lot _ taking, because if it had gone, we have got quite a lot of _ taking, because if it had gone, we have got quite a lot of wooden - have got quite a lot of wooden material — have got quite a lot of wooden material in _ have got quite a lot of wooden material in the _ have got quite a lot of wooden material in the garden, - have got quite a lot of wooden material in the garden, so - have got quite a lot of wooden material in the garden, so it. have got quite a lot of wooden - material in the garden, so it would have _ material in the garden, so it would have tucked — material in the garden, so it would have tucked everywhere. - have tucked everywhere. this _

are not happy about the situation. the country is already having a conversation about immigration. the government are clearly talking about how the _ government are clearly talking about how the going to get to grips by the mess— how the going to get to grips by the mess they— how the going to get to grips by the mess they have been left by the last government, but let's remember, the reason _ government, but let's remember, the reason these so called process, this viotent— reason these so called process, this violent disorder started, was because _ violent disorder started, was because three young girls were murdered in southport, and the memory— murdered in southport, and the memory of those three young girls has been _ memory of those three young girls has been entirely eclipsed and forgotten by the behaviour we have seen on _ forgotten by the behaviour we have seen on our— forgotten by the behaviour we have seen on our streets. as — seen on our streets. as the _ seen on our streets. as the clean—up continues here, so does the conversation about what can be done to prevent something like the violence and disorder in here from happening again. another hotel was targeted in tamworth in staffordshire last night. 0ur midlands correspondent navtej johal is there now. navtej, what's the latest? calm now, but a very different scene 24 hours ago? that's right, john. i was in rotherham all day yesterday, and as things were coming down there last night, they were flaring up here in tamworth, and once again, it was a

hotel housing asylum seekers which was at the centre of the violence. it began as a protest against the asylum seekers being housed in this hotel, but quickly descended into violence. police officers were attacked, and also the building. windows were smashed, racist graffiti painted on the walls, and eventually, some of the crowd managed to force their way into the building. we understand nobody in sight, no staff or residents, were hurt. 0ne police officer at least, however, has been injured, and we expect an update from staffordshire police on that very soon as well. we also understand the asylum seekers who were living here have now been moved to a different location, but again, like we have seen with the pattern of violence, there has been a pattern of people coming along to try and clear up. this morning, there has been a tremendous clean—up effort, clearing away the debris, the glass, the damage, painting over the glass, the damage, painting over the graffiti, and the hope is that some calm will be restored. thank you, navtej johal.

some of the first people to be charged in relation to the unrest over the last week have begun to appear in courts in england and northern ireland. at south tyneside magistrates court, a woman pleaded guilty to violent disorder in relation to unrest in sunderland. 43—year—old leanne hodgson, from sunderland, was arrested — seen here in this footage — after she pushed a bin towards police. she denied being involved in the original march, but said she became involved in the disorder when the pub closed. she'll be sentenced next month. 0ur reporter phil mccann is at liverpool magistrates. we can speak to him now. what cases have you heard there this morning? there are at least ten people appearing here throughout the day, both their weight in relation to the unrest both at liverpool here in the weekend but also last week in southport. 0ne weekend but also last week in southport. one of them, derek trueman, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and assaulting a police

officer, one who had been guarding the cordon around the corner where that mass timing had taken place. he was then moved around the corner to be confronted with around 300 people targeting a mosque. 0ne be confronted with around 300 people targeting a mosque. one of those people punched him in the face. that officer then stays in position for 25 minutes. the prosecution said he was then hit by concrete and had wheelie bins and paint thrown at him. also in court today, two brothers, adam and ellis wharton appeared, pleading guilty, and they were here because they admitted losing a community centre that had been set on fire. 0ne losing a community centre that had been set on fire. one was caught with a computer screen in his hand, and one denied assaulting a police officer. they both admitted looting that community centre. in one of them, as he left the dock, shouted obscenities about the judge stop that was adam wharton. all three have appeared here this morning were remanded into custody and will have to come back to a crown courtjudge to come back to a crown courtjudge to be sentenced.

thank you. the prime minister has held an emergency cobra meeting to discuss the violent unrest. 0ur political correspondent nick eardley is in downing street. what do we understand was discussed at that meeting? there is no doubt this is a major challenge for keir starmer, only a month into thejob, and i think the government wants to be seen to be on the front foot and on top of this, so a few updates to bring you from that cobra meeting this morning. the government, working with police, has announced that a new specialist unit will be set up, an army, as the prime minister calls it, of specialist officers who can be deployed around england to different places where unrest is taking place. it is not the actual army, it is police officers, but it is being called an army of specialists. the prime minister is also pushing for people who have taken part in protests and are suspected of

committing crimes to be named as soon as possible, to be identified by the police, and for their names to be put in the public domain. the strategy there is pretty clear, to try and send a message to people that if you take part in violence or riots, you will be outed in public, hoping that that will act as a deterrent. the prime minister also made it clear after that cobra meeting in an interview with broadcasters that he will be putting pressure on internet companies, on social media companies, to make it clear that any incitement to violence for unrest will be a crime online as well as in real life. the government, despite questions we have heard about the state of the justice system, particularly the courts, is saying that it is confident that it can get on top of this and process cases quickly. and a final thing to tell you, the prime minister has been asked about that issue of whether parliament should be recalled. he doesn't want to do

that at the moment. he believes he has all the powers he needs as the prime minister to tackle this issue, but if the violence continues, if more mps put pressure on the government, that could well change. nick, thank you. the first protests followed the deaths of three girls in a knife attack in southport exactly a week ago today. 0ur correspondent lauren moss is in the town. lauren, a town still trying to come to terms with what happened ? very much so, and this is one of the ways they are trying to do that, by leaving flowers, balloons, teddy bears and messages to bebe, elsie and alice, who died a week ago today as a taylor swift themed dance class. people have been coming and going all day leaving flowers, there are buckets of water to go for more that we throughout the day. the

bracelets, pictures, candles and drawings have been left are notjust members of the public, but from family and friends. 0ne members of the public, but from family and friends. one is from a cousin of one of the girls, calling her the best cousin in the world, and one pulls all of them beautiful angels. 0ne and one pulls all of them beautiful angels. one woman i saw before broke down as she told me she had to come and pay her respects. she has a son of her own and feel such a loss. pretty much everyone i've spoken to over the week really feels a close connection to what has happened and they are trying to stand together as best they can respectfully, and they are trying to do that against the backdrop of what is happening elsewhere in the country. a vigil will take place tonight, at 6pm this evening outside the atkinson gallery, and people are invited to come down and blow bubbles for the girls and remember their beautiful smiles. thank you. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is in rotherham. daniel, one week after southport, and now all this violence in other places. how connected are these

various incidents? there is no doubt that there was already a simmering anger in some communities about migrants crossing the channel in small boats and being accommodated in hotels like this. and there is also no doubt that anti—immigrantand and there is also no doubt that anti—immigrant and anti—muslim agitators like stephen yaxley—lennon, also known as tommy robinson, had poisoned the well of opinion in some areas with a mixture of propaganda and misinformation. but there's also no doubt that the terrible events of monday last week, in which three children were killed and eight other seriously injured and eight other seriously injured and two adults who try to protect them were seriously injured, did prove to be the trigger. that started first of all with violence in southport on tuesday night, which i witnessed, horrendous scenes outside the mosque there, 53 police officers injured in a single night.

that spread to this weekend with more violence, particularly at accommodation housing asylum seekers. what's not clear yet is how easy it's going to be to stop further scenes of violence in the coming days and at the weekend, for example. trying to deal with the root of the anger is going to be quite difficult, because as we all know, stopping the small boats has been very difficult for the last five years. so while i think everyone is hoping the violence is going to stop, no one is quite sure that it's going to.— going to stop, no one is quite sure that it's going to. daniel sandford, thank ou. iran said it has the "legal right" to respond to the assassination of the hamas chief in tehran last week, an attack blamed on israel. 0ur middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is injerusalem. yolande, how significant is this statement from iran?

very significant, with this region really bracing itself for the high possibility of a wider regional war, i think iran here is really signalling that it remains intent, with its proxies around the region, of retaliating for that high—profile killing on its soiljust last week. israel has not said that it carried out that attack. we have the us this lunchtime moving more of its military assets to this region to support israel and also to guard its own military bases in the region. in beirut at the airport there we have seen long lines of passengers, people with foreign passports trying to get a flight out. israel and the lebanese armed group hezbollah have been continuing to exchange fire across the israel lebanon border, but we have been told this is not yet the revenge has bowler promised for the killing of its top commander by israel in beirut last week. amid

all this deep uncertainty, in gaza the idea of a ceasefire there really seems as far off as ever and the war there rages on. seems as far off as ever and the war there rages on— seems as far off as ever and the war there rages on. yolande knell, thank ou. the prime minister vows that the "full force of the law" will be brought to bear after a weekend of riots. the former england cricketer graham thorpe has died at the age of 55. he played 100 tests for england between 1993 and 2005. coming up on bbc news, tributes pour in for former england and surrey cricketer graham thorpe, who has died at the age of 55. thorpe played exactly 100 tests and scored 16 centuries before retiring in 2005. the prime minister of bangladesh, sheikh hasina, has resigned and fled the country after weeks of protests against her government

and the country's employment laws. 90 people died in clashes between police and demonstrators yesterday. the army says it will form an interim government. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain is in delhi. bring us up—to—date. bring us up-to-date. these protests started “ust bring us up-to-date. these protests started just a _ bring us up-to-date. these protests started just a few _ bring us up-to-date. these protests started just a few months _ bring us up-to-date. these protests started just a few months ago, - bring us up-to-date. these protests started just a few months ago, a - bring us up-to-date. these protests| started just a few months ago, a few weeks ago, rather, and it was really student lead. they were protesting against the employment rules for civil service jobs. against the employment rules for civil servicejobs. the against the employment rules for civil service jobs. the violence that came after that, it was a severe police crackdown and we saw more than 150 people died in those clashes. it then changed this protest movement into something much bigger, into more of an anti—government movement. they were calling for the resignation of the prime minister, sheikh hasina. remember, sheikh hasina was an autocratic ruler in power in

bangladesh for 15 years. she really saw an erosion of democratic principles under her rule. the news was really met byjubilation by people on the streets.- people on the streets. samira hussain, thank _ people on the streets. samira hussain, thank you. _ people are being urged not to buy fake weight loss jabs after pharmacists said shortages of genuine drugs like ozempic could continue until the end of the year. the national pharmacy association has warned of a possible "explosion" in the unlicensed sale of the medication online. 0ur correspondent frances read has more. i took on the shame that the world gave to me. candid about using drugs like 0zempic, so many celebrities have now spoken of how they've used medication for weight loss. here ozempic is available on the nhs for people with type two diabetes as it helps to regulate their blood sugar levels, but its ability to suppress appetite has also led to its popularity.

pharmacists say they're experiencing a shortage of the drug, fuelled by high demand. and that comes with huge risks. 0zempic, which is a really important medicine for the treatment of type two diabetes, is out of stock, and we think will be out of stock till the end of december this year. people who are desperate to continue that medication because it helps treat their diabetes, are looking to source medicines outside of the normal supply chain. that may be medicines that are bought online. and those medicines online are also at risk of being fake. and the problem with the fake medicine is that we've no idea what's in it. real ozempic is made by danish manufacturer novo nordisk, and the world health organization has previously had to issue warnings about fake stocks. the national pharmacy association is urging people to speak to their pharmacist or gp and not buy from online sellers or beauty salons, which aren't regulated. frances read, bbc news.

turning attentions to the olympics, and there are big hopes for more british medals on day ten of the games. keely hodgkinson is favourite to win gold in tonight's 800 metres final, while this morning, team gb have won bronze in a dramatic triathlon mixed team relay race. laura scott was watching. the triathlon once again serving up pure drama. and germany get the gold! a sprint finish, a photo finish, to determine the podium places. what a colossal effort. these fans had arrived long before sunrise, sensing they were in for something special in this fast and furious format. four team members each doing a swim, bike and run. leading the way for the defending champions, alex yee, eyeing a second gold of the games. but on a day that came down to the finest of margins, precious seconds lost.

and alex yee dropped his swim cap. his trademark sprint, though, meant team gb had their noses in front at the first change over. leading the olympic triathlon mixed relay. georgia taylor—brown followed that with a dominant display on the bike. and with this sprint by sam dickinson, beth potter set off for the final leg in front. what an effort from sam dickinson. beth potter is off the bike, she is starting the run, just two kilometres separates great britain from from back—to—back golds. can she maintain that lead? reeled in by germany and the usa she soon found herself in third, but with the finish in sight it all came down to this mad dash to the line. this, how close it was, so close in fact that great britain were initially given silver before being demoted behind the usa mere moments before the medal ceremony. but spirits still high.

it made the finish super exciting. at the end of the day we were saying the sport has won and we were so excited and i think everyone else at home was so excited watching that race, we had you on the edge of your seat the whole time and hopefully that means a little one somewhere is going to take up this sport. more triathlon success for great britain, with their loved ones watching on. it britain, with their loved ones watching on— britain, with their loved ones watchin: on. ., . ., watching on. it will mean so much to him, and i — watching on. it will mean so much to him. and i have _ watching on. it will mean so much to him, and i have all— watching on. it will mean so much to him, and i have all his _ watching on. it will mean so much to him, and i have all his friends - watching on. it will mean so much to him, and i have all his friends and i him, and i have all his friends and family here as well, it makes it that bit extra special.— that bit extra special. really lovel to that bit extra special. really lovely to see _ that bit extra special. really lovely to see him _ that bit extra special. really lovely to see him doing - that bit extra special. really lovely to see him doing so i that bit extra special. really i lovely to see him doing so well that bit extra special. really - lovely to see him doing so well in what he has chosen to do in life. yeah, just really proud. my what he has chosen to do in life. yeah, just really proud. yeah, “ust really proud. my family out yeah, just really proud. my family out there in _ yeah, just really proud. my family out there in the _ yeah, just really proud. my family out there in the stand, _ yeah, just really proud. my family out there in the stand, i _ yeah, just really proud. my family out there in the stand, i bet - yeah, just really proud. my family out there in the stand, i bet my i yeah, just really proud. my family . out there in the stand, i bet my mum is crying somewhere. i haven't seen it yet but it's really emotional to see them up there. this it yet but it's really emotional to see them up there.— it yet but it's really emotional to see them up there. this mixed event is in its infancy _ see them up there. this mixed event is in its infancy but _ see them up there. this mixed event is in its infancy but it _ see them up there. this mixed event is in its infancy but it has _ see them up there. this mixed event is in its infancy but it has already - is in its infancy but it has already delivered some truly memorable moments where athletes have left it all on the line.

from drama here at the triathlon to drama in the gymnastics where american superstar simone biles has not had the beam final she was hoping for. she was one of a number of gymnasts to actually fall off the beam, which is only ten centimetres wide, such a small margin for error in that. she finished fifth and will now need to urgently regroup before the floor final a bit later on. now need to urgently regroup before the floorfinal a bit later on. and there has been heartbreakfor team gb �*s pole vaulters, molly caudery and holly bradshaw, they both went out in the qualification round, a huge shock, particularly for molly caudery, who is the world indoor champion. they were both in tears at the end. but there are team gb medal chances aplenty today in the kayak cross, track cycling and keely hodgkinson in the 800 metre final. you get the sense that for her nothing but gold will do. studio: and we will wait laura scott, thank you.

tributes are being paid to the former england cricketer graham thorpe, who has died at the age of 55. he played 100 tests for england between 1993 and 2005. our sports correspondent joe wilson has this report. imagine an england cricketer playing against australia in his very first test match and making 100. commentator: and graham thorpe to a century in his debut test. - that was 1993. for over a decade, graham thorpe at his best was one of the world's best. he could adapt his batting to conditions, circumstances, countries. winning a series against pakistan in the karachi darkness. blazing a double century against new zealand in christchurch. very satisfying, you know, to be able to score 200. 100 each for both of my children, i think. you know, it's been a tough time from that point of view. but it was also, you know, very much towards the team as well. thorpe's brave, skilful batting was a beacon for england supporters during some lean years for the team.

he played 100 test matches. touring life took its toll. his career was punctuated by personal challenges. graham thorpe, 17 years with surrey, received an mbe in 2006. he'd been replaced in the england team the year before. a career in cricket coaching followed, notably with england. graham thorpe's outstanding innings remain vivid in england's memory. he played them... commentator: that's well-placed. ..all too recently. that report from joe wilson on the cricketer graham thorpe, who has died at the age of 55. a reminder of our top headline this afternoon: the prime minister vows that the "full force of the law" will be brought to bear after a weekend of riots. the first demonstrations followed the deaths of three girls in a knife attack in southport exactly a week ago today.

now it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. bronze at the finish for team gb in the mixed triathlon, but it's not the medal they were thinking. disappointment in the pole vault, as britain's molly caudrey is elimintaed in the qualifying round. tributes pour in for the former england and surrey player graham thorpe, who has died aged 55. hello there and welcome along to the programme. another busy day of olympics action

to bring you up to speed with. we'll get the latest from athletics and the gymnastics, where there have been a couple of shocks. late drama in the mixed triathlon earlier today. team gb leaving disappointed after officials intervened to rule out their silverjoy. our sports news correspondent laura scott is in paris for us with more. laura, so close for the defending champions, gb, in the mixed triathlon, but undone right at the end. it all came down to a sprint finish after nearly an hour and i have of action. such a good performance from the team. this is a fast and furious format and they all put in some brilliant performances, but it did come down to that mad dash for the line, a photo finish, which initially went the way of great britain being given the silver medal behind germany in cold and the head of usa in bronze. mere moments before the medal ceremony, suddenly confusion here because great britain were demoted to the bronze medal. of course it is not the medal they were

thinking they had, but spirits were still high when i spoke to them afterwards. of course, there's a little bit of disappointment with that, but the finish place in the finish place, you know. it made, you know, the finish you know, the finish should be exciting. at it made, you know, the finish should be exciting. at the end of the day, we were saying these sports one and we were so exciting and i think everyone at home, hopefully you were so excited watching that race that we had you on the edge of your seats the whole time, and hopefully, that means, that you know, a little one some where it's going to take up the sport because of it. turning our attentions to track and field and one of the big favourites for a gb medal is out? high drama overat high drama over at the athletics and heartbreak for the team gp poll voters, both of the women going out in the qualification round. roger was a bronze medallist in tokyo, but

cordially came in here as someone who hasjumped four cordially came in here as someone who has jumped four centimetres higher than anybody else this year. we also had an injury update today. so now hughes has pulled out of the heats of the 200 metres and that purse israeli involvement in doubt. tonight, big highlight of the athletics programme will be the women's 800 metre final and one of the poster athletes of team gp, keely hodgkinson who said that. she has looked phenomenal so far. she has looked phenomenal so far. she has such high expectations of yourself. you get the sense from hearing her that nothing but gold will do for her tonight. a surprise perhaps too in the gymnastics, where it wasn't to be for simone biles? absolutely. it is easy to forget that the beam isjust absolutely. it is easy to forget that the beam is just ten centimetres wide so the margin for error is so small. simone biles was a number of gymnasts to fall off. she finished fifth and will now need

to urgently regroup for the floor final is she is to win another gold at these games. it was a silver in the skeet for gbs amber rutter yesterday, a "dream" for her still, despite controversy over whether it really should have been gold. she was in shoot—off in the final. replays showed she hit her target, but those weren't available tojudges, who ruled she hadn't. she lost out to chile's francisca crovetto chadid and told us she had to accept the decision and the joy of having her three—month—old son, tommy, cheer her on. it is a real tough one because this is just the way sport goes. i truly do believe that i hit that last target, but like i said, it's the way sport goes. i know it wasn'tjust myself as well that was affected. there was other girls in the final that believe that they hit shots and it was a real shame because we've always had a var system put in place for previous competitions, so i'm not quite sure where it was at this one. but the amount of support and effort that has gone into this medal, ijust feel like it would be a waste for me not to just be completely

over the moon with my performance. i know how tough it was out there the last couple of days. it really does feel like a marathon when i'm out there. so to have a moment like that of a split decision take away from my moment, i just don't want to focus on the negatives. i'm so, so pleased to even come away with a medal of any colour, it was just a moment in time that i will treasure forever and i've just seen some of the photos that have come out and ijust can't believe how magical that moment was. yeah, it makes it so special because it's only been a few months and ifeel like i've had to sacrifice a lot with these first few months of going to training, trying to prepare as best as i can so to know that it's all been worth it and to do this for him as well, it just feels amazing. away from the olympics and some sad news to bring you, with the death of the former england and surrey cricketer graham thorpe at the age of 55. he had been diagnosed with a serious illness back in march 2022. our sport correspondent joe wilsonjoins us. joe, how will thorpe be remembered?

i think he will be remembered as somebody who produced his very best cricket in the most challenging circumstances. when hi i have been looking through the tributes, the chocolate is passing, the respect for his career, it is noticeable thatis for his career, it is noticeable that is shared around the world. his average in australia and asia was better than it was in england. we think of winning a series in pakistan in the dark of karachi when nobody won matches in pakistan. when england beat sri lanka in a series, thought the player of the match, with some of the best sri lankan players ever. this was an era when test cricket was a priority for all teams around the world, when victories were really hard to come by. when graham thorpe started with england he would say that the team was almost ranked worst in the world, and many finish they were up there with the best in the world.

this is a time when income was far less secure, when there was far less awareness of emotional well—being and the touring life could take its toll. personal challenges were certainly part of graham thorpe is my story. he would have been an excellent cricketer for england in any era, in his era, he was outstanding. you get more on thorpe and everything from the olympics over on the bbc sport website. that's at bbc.co.uk/sport, where you can keep up to date with all the live events as they happen. you can also watch on iplayer, and on bbc one too. plenty of ways to keep in touch with

someone deeply affected. i think what we're going through is nothing in comparison to what our friends are going through that have lost children, or who still have children in hospital. part of you wants to think about them, part of you wants to think about your own family. i have a nine—year—old daughter. her best friend has lost her sister. how do you speak to your children about what's happened? do you speak to them about what's happened? and then, of course, there's all of these amazing things that are going on in the community with people pulling together to help, to use their skills and talent and to be able to try and make a bit of difference. buildings and bridges, hospitals and homes across the north west and farther afield have, over the past three nights, been lit in pink. a national show of solidarity. but the people of this town know that it's their own community that will provide the most comfort. john maguire, bbc news, southport.

now the weather with tomasz. where has the summer gone? it is here. i would say we have more or less on average summer's day across the uk. the week ahead, we have just started a new week and it will be average for the summer, changeable with rain at times and also a little bit of sunshine. right now we have a weather front crossing ireland that has just reached western scotland, moving over the irish sea and will reach other parts of the country. here it was earlier, humid in northern ireland, 18 degrees but now fresher air has swept in. clearer skies and temperatures lower in the north west, sub 20 celsius but still warm and humid across many parts of england, mid 20s across eastern england, mid 20s across eastern england, the south—east and east anglia. here is the weather front, some heavier splashes moving through at times and it could be heavy around the lake district for a time,

south—western scotland, and through the night you see how slow—moving it isn't quite narrow. some rain across other parts of england but either side actually plenty of dry weather. big temperature contrast, at six o'clock in the morning, belfast is 8 degrees. we are talking about 17 in hull, that humid and warm in that part of the world. tomorrow, rain early in the day that will move out of the way. then we are in for a day of the way. then we are in for a day of sunny spells and i think scattered showers. also quite breezy in the north—west with fresher conditions, only 15 degrees in the western isles but 25 expected in norwich and still rather humid just for a time and east anglia and the south—east. on wednesday, an area of low pressure pays us a visit in the north and that means blustery wind around coastal areas, some showers but elsewhere should be generally dry. the winds gusting to between 30 and 40 mph, a good breeze for this

time of year. feeling a little cool in glasgow, 18, but closer to where we on average are across other parts of the country. on wednesday, still some time away but we think there will be an area of thicko cloud and outbreaks of rain heading to southern parts of the uk but this is still somewhat uncertain. again, temperatures very much what we will experience through the week with high teams in the north and low 20s in the south of the uk. the rest of the week, if you have any plans for the week, if you have any plans for the weekend it is looking like classic british summer weather. that's all from today's bbc news at one. more at 6:00pm. have a good afternoon. goodbye. you are watching bbc news. it is

just approaching one 40 5pm. sir keir starmer has announced what he called our standing army of specialist police officers to tackle violent protests in towns and cities. rioters across england and northern ireland have looted shops, assaulted police officers and throwing petrol bombs at hotels housing asylum seekers. the unrest began after the fatal stabbing of three girls a week ago today in southport. posted on social media wrongly blamed the attack on a muslim migrant. the prime minister said criminaljustice will be ramped up said criminaljustice will be ramped up following an emergency response meeting with ministers and police chiefs. i meeting with ministers and police chiefs. . . meeting with ministers and police chiefs. ., ., ., , ., , morning which was an opportunity that they took to thank the police for their work at the last few days, to express my support for the police officers who have been injured and the communities impacted by this mindless thuggery. there are a

number of actions that came out of the meeting. the first is we will have a standing army of specialist public duty officers, so we will have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. the second is we will ramp up criminaljustice. there have already been hundreds of arrests, some of them appeared in court this morning. i have asked for early consideration and early naming of those involved in the process, he will feel the full force of the law. thirdly i have been clear that the criminal law applies online as well as off—line and i am sure that that is the approach that is being taken. whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protest. it is pure violence and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or our muslim communities. the full force of the law will be visited on all those
