let's get started. we begin with what has been happening overnight here in the uk. there has been further unrest late last night in england and northern ireland with police now working around the clock to crack down on violence and arrest anyone involved. nearly 400 people have been arrested after six days of violent disorder, which began last week in southport after the fatal stabbings of three girls and escalated following misinformation about the identity of the perpetrator. in plymouth, at least three police officers have been injured during disorder in the city centre. around 150 police officers were deployed to quell the violence. and in belfast, police came under attack from a small group throwing rocks and other missiles. a bin was set alight and at least one petrol bomb was thrown. with the latest, here's our reporter aruna iyengar.

two opposing protests in plymouth started out peacefully. vocal clashes between antiracism and anti— groups. police in riot gear were deployed to keep the groups apart and several officers suffered injuries as violence of later broke out. it was terrifying. hundreds of people moved up onto the promenade and the memorial area. ten minutes after that, there was a strong police presence dissipating them after they set fire to things, and then there was a huge group of writers outside our front doors, smashing things and organising themselves for further mischief, and ten minutes after that it had moved back down towards the town centre area.— centre area. disburse immediately. - centre area. disburse immediately. there l centre area. disburse i immediately. there was centre area. disburse - immediately. there was unrest in south belfast. _ immediately. there was unrest in south belfast. last - immediately. there was unrest in south belfast. last night - immediately. there was unrest in south belfast. last night byl in south belfast. last night by teams were deployed to sandy roach as a petrol bomb and stones were thrown a police officers. in birmingham, cars

these pictures show her helicopter leaving. more than 300 people have been killed since a student protest over civil service job quotas began last month, escalating into demands for the prime minister to stand down after 15 years in power. not long after sheik hasina left, thousands of anti—government protesters stormed her official residence while crowds celebrated in the streets. widespread looting has been reported as well. in a televised address to the nation, the head of bangladesh's army promised justice for all the bangladeshi people and said an interim government would be formed. and it's also been announced that the leading opposition figure and former prime minister khaleda zia would be released from prison. six years ago, she was jailed on corruption charges that critics claimed were trumped up. the president has also ordered the released

of jailed protesters. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain reports now from delhi in neighbouring india. demanding justice, they came by the thousands, calling for her to leave. today, the protesters got what they wanted. translation: in got what they wanted. tuna/mom- got what they wanted. translation: ., ., , , got what they wanted. translation: ., ., ,, ., translation: in an address to the nation. _ translation: in an address to the nation, the _ translation: in an address to the nation, the army _ translation: in an address to the nation, the army chief- translation: in an address to the nation, the army chief said | the nation, the army chief said the nation, the army chief said the prime minister has left the country. the prime minister has left the count . �* . country. but an interim government _ country. but an interim government will- country. but an interim government will be - country. but an interim government will be putj country. but an interim i government will be put in place. forweeks, government will be put in place. for weeks, the country has been mired in violence, a swift and deadly crackdown on anti—government protests by police. hundreds left dead, many more injured. shake has been upon my tenure was marred by allegations of human rights violations, election rigging, the murderer trailing of

philippe lazzarini, said the evidence, if corroborated, "could indicate that the unrwa staff members "may have been involved" in the attacks. our north america correspondent john sudworth has more on the potential implications. when israel first raised them, back injanuary, saying that it had intelligence to show that it claimed 19 individuals had either been directly involved in the attacks last october or had offered support to those taking part in the attacks. a number of countries withdrew funding for unrwa pending more information. the united states is continuing to withhold funding from unrwa. you would have to assume that this news today, that this investigation has been completed, and that the un's own internal investigation

officers found that there was sufficient evidence against nine of those 19 individuals to suggest that they may have taken part will, you know, not help the position of the aid agency, and the work that it does in gaza that is so vitally needed. meanwhile, american military officials say several us soldiers have been wounded in an attack on an air base in iraq. suspected rockets were fired at the al asad facility in the west of the country. presidentjoe biden and vice president kamala harris were briefed on the attack, the white house releasing this image of the pair in the situation room on sunday evening. in a phone call with his israeli counterpart, us defense secretary lloyd austin called the attack on the base a dangerous escalation. last week, the us said it carried out a strike in iraq against militants who posed a threat to coalition forces. tensions are high in the middle east

after last week's killings of the hamas political leader in tehran and a senior hezbollah commander in lebanon. iran has vowed to retaliate against israel, and the us has sent more aircraft and warships to the region. let's speak to colonel brendan kearney, a retired colonel from the united states marine corp. good to talk to you on bbc news. several us personnel injured in iraq after a suspected rocket attack. talk us through this, the implications of this. sally, it is aood implications of this. sally, it is good to — implications of this. sally, it is good to be _ implications of this. sally, it is good to be with _ implications of this. sally, it is good to be with you. - is good to be with you. al—assad, the us has been operating out of there for 20 years, and it is a big base, a big target, and given the iraqi proclivity to go ahead and fire rockets and there are cyber

attachments are a defaulter with drones that are carrying explosives, it is something you can pretty much concur that if you are going to aim at it, you will hit something. part of it isjust going to will hit something. part of it is just going to be desert or runway, but in this case it looks like there are a number of casualties that were inflicted by this most recent attack. so it is, again, is it strictly from iraq? hard to tell, but certainly there are surrogates involved in these type of things in the past, so that maybe what this is all about once again.- that maybe what this is all about once again. since october 7. about once again. since october 7, this is not _ about once again. since october 7, this is not the _ about once again. since october 7, this is not the first _ about once again. since october 7, this is not the first time - 7, this is not the first time that american military have been targeted in the region and to a great degree it has to be expected, do you think? absolutely. i think our forces over there primarily are naval forces in the red sea, in the persian gulf, and also in the eastern mediterranean, are well

prepared, they are on alert. the red sea, as we, both the uk and us navies have been subjected to actual attacks down there by those clients of erotic. so, again, this is a continuation of the same old story —— iraq. it has been going on for a while. i don't anticipate it will change at all in the near or midterm, and all in the near or midterm, and all we can do right now isjust hold their breath and wait to see what is going to happen with the actual promised attack on israel itself.— on israel itself. yeah, and that is what _ on israel itself. yeah, and that is what everyone - on israel itself. yeah, and that is what everyone is l that is what everyone is waiting for. we saw the images thereof the president and vice president and others in the situation room in the white house, assessing what the next move might be, arno bay, trying to work out what iran and lebanon might be doing. exactly. they are examining the intelligence, they not only

have garnered through america, american intelligence agencies, but also part of —— partners to include the brits, and comparing that to what the israelis are providing them, and they are making assessments on an ongoing basis in the situation room as to what they think is going to happen, and obviously our secretary of state, secretary defence or heavily involved in this to see where it is the united states may be of some aid to israel. it may not be of assistance. the last big attack, the us did assist along with the uk and some other countries. so, it is a sad situation. violence is never good, and the innocence and lebanon in the galilean northern israel are ones taking the brunt of anything the iraqis are going to be firing at them or hezbollah will be firing from southern lebanon. thank you for talking to us on

bbc news. of course we have got a special page dedicated to what is happening in the middle east where you can read all the latest there. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

at least five people have been killed after hurricane debby made landfall on the northwest coast of florida, bringing floods and power cuts. three of the victims died in car crashes. more than 300,000 people have been left without power and 1,600 flights have been cancelled. debby has been downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves slowly north into georgia and south carolina where it is expected to dump around 50 centimetres or 20 inches of rain by friday. cristian benavides, a reporter from our us news partners cbs, is in savannah, georgia. here in savannah, the city is

bracing for what could potentially be a one in 1000 year reign event. what that means is they could see flooding of historic proportions. they are telling me that what could happen over the next couple of days could be unprecedented and potentially catastrophic for parts of savannah. why is that? this is just a tropical storm. even some folks who live here in savannah say this is a tropical storm, we're used to storms like this. what they are not used to is a storm lingering the way that this is forecast to do. if this storm follows what is currently forecast, it will linger here forecast, it will linger here for a couple of dives. that could lead to about 30 inches of rain in certain parts of savannah. he is saying that could be catastrophic for those

areas. at this point, the city is getting ready, what they have done is to have implement a curfew beginning later tonight. that is scheduled from 10pm until 6am tomorrow, but it could be extended. depending on the actual impact. starting at 10pm tonight, that is when we believe we will start seeing some of that heavier rainfall. everyone here and notjust in southeast georgia, but also in south carolina, places like charleston, are bracing for impact, bracing for this storm to get over here and see what could potentially happen. cristian benavides there from cbs. looking at hurricane debby. to us politics now, and we should know within hours who us vice president and democratic presidential nominee kamala harris has chosen as her running mate.

on sunday, she met three leading contenders for closed door meetings — pennsylvania governor josh 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 several progressive policies, including protecting abortion access. her choice willjoin her on a whirlwind five—day tour of seven cities this

week as ms harris ramps up her campaign in the battleground states. let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. david, we are only hours away now from finding out? yes, and before we get onto that, i will bring you a better breaking news. according to the associated press, kamala harris has now formally secured her party's presidential nomination. this following an online rollcall of democratic party delegates that commenced five days ago and finished tonight, including this evening, and that gave kamala harris, according to a statement reported by ap, 99% of the votes of the democratic party. they will meet the

leaders of the party to formally certify her nomination, but there is due to be a ceremonial rollcall at the dmc convention in chicago two weeks' time. to move onto the announcement that is expected today, kamala harris's running mates, as you say, there are now document actually, it has been narrowed. you mentioned three names there. it has now been narrowed according to reports here to tim waltz, the minnesota governor, and josh shapiro, governor of philadelphia. a lot of money resting onjosh shapiro, not least because he is a rising star in the democratic party and he would, given his success in that vital stage, it would bring in 19 electoral college votes, the sort that kamala harris very much needs if she

is to win the white house. ok. senator mark— is to win the white house. ok. senator mark kelly _ is to win the white house. 0k. senator mark kelly from arizona it sounds like according to reports as you say where you are, he is no longer among the top three as it were. however does, though, gets picked by kamala harris, they have got a very heavy agenda and of them. they will hit the ground running, won't they? very much so, es. running, won't they? very much so, yes. starting _ running, won't they? very much so, yes. starting in _ so, yes. starting in philadelphia, there will be a video announcement it is thought of kamala harris's running mate sometime later today, tuesday, and as you say, she will appear alongside her chosen deputy in philadelphia at the start of a five day tour taking in seven of the key battleground states, including michigan and wisconsin. a lot of this of course comes down to chemistry. kamala harris has been interviewing some of these candidates, there are about

half a dozen who were vetted and then she apparently met with three of them at her residence here in washington, dc over the weekend. but she is looking of course or somebody who can help her win the election, and then of course help her govern.— help her govern. sally. absolutely. _ help her govern. sally. absolutely. shall- help her govern. sally. absolutely. shall be i help her govern. sally. l absolutely. shall be very closely. thank you for the latest on that. that update you what is happening on paris. —— now, a quick update from paris and the olympic games. last night, team gb's keely hodgkinson dominated the olympic 800m final to win gold in paris. the 22—year—old picked up great britain's first gold on the track since rio in 2016. and in the last few hours, we had results from the surfing competition in tahiti where france's kauli vaast — who is actually a tahitian local — picked up the gold in the men's competition. and in the women's, team usa's caroline marks took home the gold medal.

temperature of the day was in northeastern scotland. temperatures in the moray firth got up to 27 degrees. that was in this warm and humid air ahead of this weather front here, which is bringing some rain in from the west. it's following on from that that we see the cooler and fresher air moving into the northwest of the uk. that rain on that weather front increasingly light and patchy, but quite a change coming in to northern ireland. temperatures some ten degrees lower than at the same time on monday morning. a more comfortable night for sleeping. quite muggy, though, across the midlands and eastern england. we got a little rain here. it could prove to be a bit hit and miss. that moves through, and then we get some sunshine following. the odd shower coming in over the irish sea, but most of these showers are getting blown into northern ireland and western scotland. it's a bit drier in eastern scotland, but we're not going to see the high temperatures that we had on monday in that cooler and fresher air.

the highest temperatures towards the southeast of england, the mid 20s here. but with that weather front out of the way, we still have the low pressure that's getting closer to the northwest. that's strengthening the winds, quite windy for the time of year, i think, on wednesday. to greet the day, we've got some wet weather in scotland. as that moves through, there'll be lots more showers in scotland and northern ireland, and with that stronger wind, we could blow a few showers further east across england and wales. still looking dry in the southeast of england, but temperatures even here will be lower on wednesday. 18—22 celsius is a little below the average for this time of the year. now, the area of low pressure to the north of scotland does finally move away by thursday, but it allows these weather fronts to come in from the atlantic. we are going to find the cloud thickening and increasing during the day on thursday, some rain and drizzle setting in. still a lot of uncertainty as to how far north this rain is going to get. it's now pushing a little further north into the central belt of scotland. northern scotland, dry, and we may not get much rain towards the southeast of england,

with temperatures into the low 20s here. but we're not going to see a return of the heat. that's because the position of the jet stream is rushing right the way across the uk, so we're more likely to have some rain from time to time.

the big bounce back —

japan stocks jump from historic loses — is it a sign the global sell—off is cooling? what will happen on wall street? we talk to the experts. landmark decision — a usjudge rules google's online serach monopoly is illegal — what penalties will it face? and soaking up the sun — we look at how australia's urban solar gardens are bringing the renewables boom to renters. live from london this is business today, i'm sally bundock. fasten your seatbelts as the roller coaster ride on financial markets intensifies. injapan right now we are seeing a sharp rebound following the historic falls on monday. in tokyo the main indice — the nikkei 225 — is recovering some of the record breaking loses. so lets take a look at the numbers.

this time yesterday it was a blood bath
