anything on the veepstakes yet? i got nothing for you, man. very good, thank you sir. have a great day. thanks. this vice presidential pick _ will mean a lot for people who need some comfort that there is, - like, a steady hand at the wheel, that there is, you know, _ a follow—on, but really importantly, she needs a governing partner. this woman, who is a failed candidate, you know, she failed. she was the first one out the last time, she never made it to iowa, and now the media's taken over, they're trying to make her into margaret thatcher, but i don't think that's going to work. first, the latest headlines. police in the city of plymouth have warned that anyone committing criminal offences "will be dealt with robustly". it comes after unrest erupted there, with police keeping rival protesters apart. police have arrested almost 400

people in towns and cities across england and northern ireland since violent protests began last week in southport, after the fatal stabbings of three girls. bangladesh's prime minister has resigned and fled the country after some of the worst protests and violent clashes the country has seen. not long after sheikh hasina left, thousands of anti—government protestors stormed her official residence. more than 300 people have died since student protests over civil service job quotas started last month. us vice—president kamala harris is expected to announce her running mate shortly. our us media partner cbs reports that the announcement will come on tuesday. she's reported to have interviewed six contenders over the past few days. iran says it is does not want to escalate tensions in the middle east, but believes it needs to punish israel. it follows last week's killings of the hamas political chief in tehran and a senior commander of the lebanese group hezbollah.

we start in the us, where we should know within hours who vice president and democratic presidential nominee kamala harris has picked as her running mate. on sunday she met with three leading contenders for closed door meetings — pennsylvania governorjosh shapiro, senator mark kelly from arizona, and minnesota governor tim walz. so let's take a quick look at the runners and riders. josh shapiro is a frontrunner in the so—called "veepstakes" shortlist — he is a moderate democrat from a battleground state. former astronaut mark kelly — also a moderate from a key state — is a gun safety advocate and married to former congresswoman gabby giffords who survived an assassination attempt back in 2011. in minnesota, governor walz has enacted a number of progressive policies including protecting abortion access. the vice president met transportation secretary pete buttigieg on friday though

there are reports that he's due to be in maine, tuesday and wednesday, rather than in philadelphia, where kamala harris is expected to appear publicly with her pick for the first time. she is also said to have interviewed candidates virtually, with kentucky governor andy beshear and illinois governorjb pritzker also in contention for the vp job. her choice willjoin her on a whirlwind five—day tour of seven cities this week as ms harris ramps up her campaign in key battleground states. let's speak to tia mitchell, washington correspondent, for the atlanta journal—constitution. really good to have you with us. i will dive straight in, i would ask you to hedge your bets. who do you think we could be seeing come tuesday second on the tickets for

the democrats? i’ll tuesday second on the tickets for the democrats?— the democrats? i'll start by prefacing — the democrats? i'll start by prefacing my _ the democrats? i'll start by prefacing my comments - the democrats? i'll start by prefacing my comments by| the democrats? i'll start by - prefacing my comments by saying i don't have any, you know, secret inside knowledge, so this isjust my analysis, but i do think pennsylvania governor shapiro appears to be the frontrunner. the fact you have seen in recent days criticisms about him, some people kind of pushing back on whether he should be the wrong rate, the fact that people are coming up with these counterarguments, to me, is further indication that he is the person who is getting the most attention from vice president harris and her team. i think probably we think, if it's not shapiro, it would likely be minnesota governor walz. we think it's going to be a white man, no matter what, it's going to be a white man, no matterwhat, it'sjust, it's going to be a white man, no matter what, it'sjust, the question is, which white man? we matter what, it'sjust, the question is, which white man?— is, which white man? we know shairo, is, which white man? we know shapiro. of— is, which white man? we know shapiro, of course, _ is, which white man? we know shapiro, of course, heading . is, which white man? we know shapiro, of course, heading upi is, which white man? we know. shapiro, of course, heading up a large swing state, ijust wonder in all of this, and at this stage of the race, after a difficult beginning for the democrats, is

there any room in this race for the vp pick to be someone that kamala harris has chemistry with, or is it really down to strategy here, and courting key groups to just win as many votes as possible? i courting key groups to just win as many votes as possible?- many votes as possible? i mean i would think _ many votes as possible? i mean i would think ideally _ many votes as possible? i mean i would think ideally democrats - many votes as possible? i mean i i would think ideally democrats would be looking for someone who was both. they can't just go be looking for someone who was both. they can'tjust go based on vibes, in relationship, in chemistry, that's just not how you win a close race in us politics. you've got to be strategic, and i think they are trying to fill in, not necessarily weaknesses or gaps, butjust places where her experience and her lived experience and her political experience and her political experience just don't speak to, and i think they would like a running mate whose political experience and lived experience combine and widen who they can speak to directly, from a point of experience, and that's where you talk about a white man,

that's why you talk about someone from a swing state, that's what you are talking about someone from kind of middle america, heartland america, if you world. so, i think there is a strategy there, but as you mentioned there have been interviews and meetings, virtual, we understand, whether in person meetings, and frankly we understand there has been an invitation extended that someone has accepted today, because they do realise that these families are going to have to spend a lot of time together over the next couple of months, and quite frankly, if it does appear that they are not getting along, that would be are not getting along, that would be a story that they wouldn't want, so as not to be both, but you really can't do one of the other. just there with _ can't do one of the other. just there with us, _ can't do one of the other. just there with us, i _ can't do one of the other. just there with us, i will— can't do one of the other. just there with us, i will bring the panel out.

a lot to talk about this evening. we have a new poll out coming from cbs yesterday, and what it was showing his trump and harris right now in a statistical tie. were you surprised by how quickly it shifted once harris was in place? we by how quickly it shifted once harris was in place?- by how quickly it shifted once harris was in place? we all thought this campaign _ harris was in place? we all thought this campaign is — harris was in place? we all thought this campaign is going _ harris was in place? we all thought this campaign is going to _ harris was in place? we all thought this campaign is going to go - harris was in place? we all thought this campaign is going to go in - harris was in place? we all thought this campaign is going to go in one | this campaign is going to go in one direction _ this campaign is going to go in one direction are not many weeks ago, and this_ direction are not many weeks ago, and this is— direction are not many weeks ago, and this is a — direction are not many weeks ago, and this is a big change. she clearly— and this is a big change. she clearly has some momentum now, and this is— clearly has some momentum now, and this is really— clearly has some momentum now, and this is really critical and how she can use — this is really critical and how she can use this to sustain the momentum over the _ can use this to sustain the momentum over the next— can use this to sustain the momentum over the next few days and get the trump _ over the next few days and get the trump campaign on the back foot. in your introduction the keyword was moderate — your introduction the keyword was moderate. to appeal to moderates america _ moderate. to appeal to moderates america and demonstrate that should

all the that attack line against harris? pr?" all the presidents republican american is also a failed candidate of the last few years, he is running a little bit scared at the moment, we've seen that the way he has acted since the announcement of her being the nominee. he doesn't know how to hit her. the old trump label ofjust get it working, and the line with hillary clinton in 2015—16, and we know you have millions of independents and even democrats who are just excited to have somebody new on the ticket, and it feels like kind of a shot in the arm to really get going. we were looking at the two candidates that we have had for the last four years, and donald trump of the last ten years, and just to have a new option has really energised the democrats

and independents. she has a massive advantage we only have to run a campaign for advantage we only have to run a campaignfora hundred advantage we only have to run a campaign for a hundred days. she has a lot of energy. _ campaign for a hundred days. she has a lot of energy. is _ campaign for a hundred days. she has a lot of energy, is a _ campaign for a hundred days. she has a lot of energy, is a really _ a lot of energy, is a really impressive fundraising of the campaign. do you think that that momentum can last for the harris campaign? i love that will be — last for the harris campaign? i love that will be on _ last for the harris campaign? i love that will be on harris's _ last for the harris campaign? i love that will be on harris's campaign i last for the harris campaign? i love that will be on harris's campaign to try to harness the momentum in a way that sustainable, turn this energy and enthusiasm and attention into, well, it's already turning into money, but the volunteers that have signed up, how do she use them, she engage these new supporters then speak to the network, their friends and family so that she can continue to grow this? the other thing is, we still a ways away from the november election. things will come up,

things will change. harris being in office right now is going to have to deal with the attacks that come from what is going on with the us economy, for example the recent declines with the stock market. if there is some escalation of military involvement in the middle east, those within she has to deal with. if there is a surge of immigration at the southern border. so, there are a lot of variable style, but she is surging, and if a campaign has a good strategy she should be able to harness that to keep the momentum going. harness that to keep the momentum anoin. ., harness that to keep the momentum hoin _ ., ., . harness that to keep the momentum anoin. ., .. . , harness that to keep the momentum going. you match the concerns about the prospect — going. you match the concerns about the prospect for— going. you match the concerns about the prospect for a — going. you match the concerns about the prospect for a us _ going. you match the concerns about the prospect for a us recession, - the prospect for a us recession, will be talking about that next. for now, thank you very much for being with us. now to the markets, after a global stock sell—off, driven by fears that the us

could tip into recession. in london, the benchmark ftse 100 closed down 2%, with other european indices also sliding. on wall street, this is the current picture. asia led the charge lower earlier in the day, with japan's nikkei plummeting more than 12% — its worst day since asia led the charge lower earlier in the day, with japan's nikkei plummeting more than 12% — its worst day since the fukushima crisis of 2011 — after friday's weaker—than—expected us employment data fuelled speculation about a slowdown in the world's largest economy. we can cross live to new york and our north america business correspondent michelle fleury. michelle — bring us up to date with what were been seeing on wall street and what's driving this? so, we arejust so, we are just ten minutes after the us market closed, i bet many traders are wishing they had come

into work today, because we saw sharp falls carry on from what was already a particularly stiff sell—off in japan already a particularly stiff sell—off injapan the day before. now, the snp 500 closed down, but really it was the dial and the nasdaq which closed down more than 3%, which is caught many peoples eyes, and it spread to other areas. we saw the price of oil under pressure because all of this concern stems from the idea that there is weakness in the us economy, and that is what is fuelling the demand from them. what does this mean for the presidential election campaign — the buzz word was biden—nomics — does harris now inherit that, and how tricky

could that be for her? would that be tricky for her to navigate? i would that be tricky for her to navi . ate? ~ , would that be tricky for her to navi . ate? ~' , ,, navigate? i think it will be. the us economy has _ navigate? i think it will be. the us economy has done _ navigate? i think it will be. the us economy has done pretty - navigate? i think it will be. the us economy has done pretty well - navigate? i think it will be. the us i economy has done pretty well during biden's term, it's arguably pushed inflation a wee bit high, but one of the big trump to be lines, if the stock market gets into the trouble in the next few months that would be a problem for the democrat campaign, so they must be hoping that action ljy so they must be hoping that action by the fed in september on interest

here in the uk, after the week of riots across england and northern ireland, police in the city of plymouth have warned protesters that anyone committing criminal offences will be "dealt with robustly". it's a tense scene in the city, with a large police presence, keeping rival groups of protesters apart. the unrest comes hours after prime minister sir keir starmer said the government was ramping up the criminaljustice system to deal with the numbers charged with involvement in riots over the weekend, with some already

appearing court today. police say more than 375 arrests have been made since the violence started last week and they expect that total to rise every day as more are identified. the prime minister also announced what he called a "standing army" of specialist police officers to tackle violent protests. the unrest began last week in southport after the fatal stabbings of three girls — this a vigil there earlier this evening. posts on social media wrongly blamed the attacks on a muslim migrant. the riots have spread across england and northern ireland with shops looted, police officers assaulted and petrol bombs thrown at hotels housing asylum seekers. the worst of that violence yesterday was in rotherham in south yorkshire. let's hear some of what sir keir starmer had to say. there are a number of actions that came out of the meeting. the first is we will have a standing army of specialist officers, public duty officers, so that we'll have enough officers to deal with this

where we need them. the second is we'll ramp up criminaljustice. there have already been hundreds of arrests. some have appeared in court this morning. i have asked for early consideration of the earliest naming and identification of those involved in the process, who will feel the full force of the law. and thirdly, i've been absolutely clear that the criminal law applies online as well as offline, and i'm assured that that's 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. so the full force of the law will be visited on all those who are identified as having taken part in these activities. let's go back to our panel.

philip, i'm sure you've been watching the situation very closely, we have that clean—up beginning. at the same time we have these rights continuing, but i think perhaps most pertinently, questions for the government as well about how it gets to grips with this. xyour government as well about how it gets to grips with this.— to grips with this. your thoughts on that. yeah, — to grips with this. your thoughts on that. yeah, the _ to grips with this. your thoughts on that. yeah, the immediate - to grips with this. your thoughts on i that. yeah, the immediate challenges for the police, the actual managing of these situations, is an operational matter for the police, and they have to do what they can to contain and disperse these writers. i think the immediate, what the government is saying, what the prime minister and the home secretary yvette cooper is saying, is justice meted out quickly and being seen to be done so that those who are

tempted out onto the streets can see that those who have gone for them have had sentences handed down, and will be put away if necessary in jail for the crimes that they have committed. there have been rights on the streets of england, in particular, before. ithink the streets of england, in particular, before. i think what is different this time is the overturning of hostility to immigration, this is a hard right wing tinge and over racism as well, and that is what worry about these things, that's what's absolutely right that the government comes down very hard what is going just now, but it also needs to take the long term, how can it restore confidence in the police and the criminal justice system, how can it have an open conversation over time around immigration and so on so that people can have confidence across the country where there are concerns that these are being addressed, but

it is a matter of clamping down on people who are just behaving as criminals. there is the policing part of this, the judicial response, and then on top of this what we are seeing is the spread online of misinformation, disinformation. i want to bring up the tweet that perhaps you have seen from elon musk on x, which says that civil war is inevitable. just talk to us about the challenge of having a police response, the challenge of having a police resonse, , ., . . response, trying to anticipate where the riahts response, trying to anticipate where the rights could _ response, trying to anticipate where the rights could be _ response, trying to anticipate where the rights could be taking _ response, trying to anticipate where the rights could be taking place, - the rights could be taking place, when you have all of this information spreading online, it's not something you're seeing in the uk, of course, it's something you are seeing in the us. i think you might be muted, there, shannon. we would love to hear your thoughts on that. just coming there to you,

philip, with regard to that, we talk about policing by consent in this country, but of course this online aspect, there is a huge challenge. yes, i think elon musk putting that tweet out had imbibed too much of the bile that is on his platform. it's complete nonsense, we are nowhere near a civil war in this country, and having them for centuries. what we say about the media part in this is whipping up the incitement to violence via social media, it's something that has to be looked at. there has to be regulation, it's really tough, because how'd you do that while protecting freedom of speech as well? but we can't allow these people to get away with misinformation, as they have been doing, which has these terrible results. it's something the government is going to have to think really hard about. the last government put an active place, but that clearly hasn't dealt with the problem, so what more needs to be done, and what more needs to be to

ultimately through international coordinated action as well, in my view. . ~' . view. talking about the international _ view. talking about the i international coordinated view. talking about the - international coordinated action, coming to you on that piece, shannon, when you have a lot of social media companies there is silicon valley, what you think needs to happen next to stop the spread of disinformation and misinformation? he is exactly right, the role of social— he is exactly right, the role of social media has to be examined. when _ social media has to be examined. when events like this happen, social media _ when events like this happen, social media has— when events like this happen, social media has no borders, and so there has to— media has no borders, and so there has to be _ media has no borders, and so there has to be international cooperation to tamp _ has to be international cooperation to tamp down on it, but i can barely look at _ to tamp down on it, but i can barely look at this— to tamp down on it, but i can barely look at this without my heart just breaking — look at this without my heart just breaking. elon musk isjust look at this without my heart just breaking. elon musk is just throwing excel_ breaking. elon musk is just throwing excel onto— breaking. elon musk is just throwing excel onto the fire when he sends out tweets — excel onto the fire when he sends out tweets like that. he knows exactly — out tweets like that. he knows exactly what he is doing, and he has already— exactly what he is doing, and he has already taken off all of the guardrails off of twitter, now x, and what — guardrails off of twitter, now x,

conditions spreading in. ahead of it, the winds are coming in from the south. a lot of cloud, quite warm and humid, particularly across east anglia, the south—east, into yorkshire as well. temperatures have been around the mid 20s. so the forecast, then, for tonight shows that weather front crossing the uk. for a time, it could be quite heavy — that rain — across the lakes, into south—western scotland. but to the south, by the early hours, i think that rain front should start to fizzle out, so that means dribs and drabs of rain from, say, lincolnshire, through central england, towards central, southern england. behind it, clearskies, quite fresh in belfast — eight degrees. ahead of that weather front, still a bit of warmth left there — around 16 or 17 degrees in one or two spots. now in summary, tuesday will start off sunny, clouds will bubble up through the course of the afternoon. showers are expected, particularly across the north—west of the uk. quite brisk winds as well. still some of that warmth left over there in norwich — 25 degrees. for most of us, it's the high teens or the low 20s. now, the low pressure is still with us on wednesday.

quite a few isobars, those pressure lines, so that means gusty conditions with showers moving through northern ireland, scotland, affecting some irish sea coasts as well. i think the sunnier skies will be the further east, south—east and further south you are. but on those winds, gusting 30 to perhaps even a0 miles an hour around some coasts on wednesday. and the temperatures bang on average for the time of the year — 18 in glasgow, about 20 in liverpool and birmingham, and in london, maybe a couple of degrees higher than that. so that was wednesday. here's a look at thursday. a little bit of uncertainty in where this rain is going to be. but the broad message is southern parts of the uk could end up being quite cloudy on thursday, with some outbreaks of rain. still, temperatures in the low 20s. i think the sunnier weather will be across scotland. here in aberdeen, some sunshine, about the high teens. so let's have a look at the forecast, then. the outlook from midweek onwards, into the weekend — our typical british summer with a variety of weather icons there and temperatures, well, quite warm in the south, up to about 25 degrees. that's it from me.

hello, i'm helena humphrey. you're watching the context on bbc news. shouting. bangladesh's prime minister resigns and flees the country after weeks of protests. the army chief says there'll be an interim government,

and widespread looting is reported in the capital dhaka.
