talks are under way in bangladesh between protest leaders and the military, which has taken charge after sheikh hasina's dramatic resignation as prime minister. israel's leading human rights organisation has likened the country's prison system to a network of torture camps for palestinians. a report says conditions inside jails have worsened significantly since the start of the gaza war. let's go back to our top story — here in the uk, there's been renewed rioting in some cities in england and northern ireland. the worst outbreaks of violence came in belfast, plymouth, and birmingham. nearly 400 people have been arrested after a week 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.
9:31 am
in belfast, riot officers had stones and petrol bombs thrown at them close to a supermarket which was set alight at the weekend. in the last few minutes, the police service of northern has said its officers came under sustained attack from multiple petrol bombs, heavy masonry and bricks in south belfast over a number of hours. petrol was also poured over a police land rover and set alight, though the occupants of the vehicle were not physically harmed and remained on duty. the police also say a 15—year—old male was arrested on suspicion of riotous behaviour and remains in police custody. the temporary assistant chief constable melanie jones said the disorder, violence and destruction has no place in
9:32 am
belfast or anywhere else across the streets of northern ireland. lyndsey telford reports. what started as a protest became a powderkeg ready to explode. anger turned to hatred, hate turned to violence. and victims targeted in what's been described as sickening acts. the owner of a cafe seen here barricading his door. just all i wanted, really, in that moment was to save my staff and i had customers inside. so i wanted to run from back door and was keeping shouting, "run, run, run" and i was holding on the door. i don't want anybody to get injured. the damage will be about between 15 and probably around 20 grand. the damage here is bad, but for others it's devastating. businesses nearby were torched on saturday night. at this supermarket,
9:33 am
nothing can be salvaged. ashes. nothing left. i mean, literally nothing left. nothing. it's the third time this shop has been set on fire. staff feel abandoned by police. all what they are doing is coming here, doing a statement, and go. and theyjust give you fake promises. if the police want to do something, they are not going to allow those people to do that from the beginning. across the street, a cafe destroyed, and this owner fearful for his life. yeah, at the time, when i was in the office, they come and shout my name, "where is mohammed?" then they smash all windows on the ground floor here. for me, it's not easy. i am going through difficulties because they know my name now.
9:34 am
they know your name, what do you think that means? it's scary. you know, my life is threatened. that night, the place was torched. as those affected pick up the pieces, they will be asking, is there any future here? lindsay telford, bbc news. that was the picture in belfast last night. has been violent disorder over the past week. we are getting news from avon and somerset police that a third man has been charged in connection with the violent disorder that took place in bristol city centre on saturday. the police say that ashley harris, 36, from the kingswood area has been charged with violent disorder and is due to appear at bristol magistrates' court later on tuesday. two other men, aged 45 and 39, also charged with
9:35 am
public order offences on sunday. they are going to be in court in september. let's talk more about the policing operation with brian booth, the acting deputy national chair at police federation of england and wales. thank you very much for joining us on bbc news. ijust wondered if i could get your reaction to the amount of violent disorder that we have seen over the last seven days. it’s disorder that we have seen over the last seven dam-— last seven days. it's absolutely shockin: last seven days. it's absolutely shocking and — last seven days. it's absolutely shocking and it's _ last seven days. it's absolutely shocking and it's terrible - last seven days. it's absolutely shocking and it's terrible to - last seven days. it's absolutely l shocking and it's terrible to see. last seven days. it's absolutely i shocking and it's terrible to see. i just hope that we are going to be in a position where it starts to come down now. especially now we are seeing some of the courts taking a very firm stance and putting people straight into prison on remand. what straight into prison on remand. what will forces be — straight into prison on remand. what will forces be doing _ straight into prison on remand. what will forces be doing to _ straight into prison on remand. what will forces be doing to try to work out where the next set of violent disorder may happen?— out where the next set of violent disorder may happen? there will be a lot of intelligence _ disorder may happen? there will be a lot of intelligence gathering. - disorder may happen? there will be a lot of intelligence gathering. the - lot of intelligence gathering. the police work on intelligence led operations. that is our bread and

9:38 am
neverworked, really, monitoring social media and working the mechanisms behind it, so it is very difficult for me to comment on that. all we can say is social media is playing a big part in getting the information or misinformation out. it is coordinated people to meet at certain times. i think the social media owners need to be taking more responsibility and shutting down those channels to prevent those meetings taking place in not allowing their platform to be used as a notice board. you are looking at some of the content that is being posted, which is misinformation. we saw in the midlands over the weekend there was a false stabbing that took place, which was designed to incite further disturbances. the police in that area very quickly be acted upon it and put a statement out saying, "this is big news. don't believe it." it was purely intended to stir up it." it was purely intended to stir up racial hatred.—

9:40 am
saw an immense amount of this information very quickly spreading about the supposed perpetrator, him being an alleged migrant who came to the uk recently and illegally. and from that we saw a lot of hate speech, mostly anti—migrant and anti—muslim speech, but also very quickly these calls for protests. this really started with the focus on in southport, but obviously we have seen them all over the country and we have seen that... those online sort of calls for protest, thatis online sort of calls for protest, that is exactly where the violence actually manifested itself, so i am surprised at how direct the relationship is and how clear it has. i relationship is and how clear it has. , , relationship is and how clear it has. , ., has. i suppose the problem for the authorities as _ has. i suppose the problem for the authorities as there _ has. i suppose the problem for the authorities as there isn't _ has. i suppose the problem for the authorities as there isn't one - authorities as there isn't one specific organiser of this disorder. exactly. that is the very hard part, and i think that is also very characteristic of the far right. the far right, for anyone watching the far right, for anyone watching the far right, for anyone watching the far right over the last years, i do not think this comes as a surprise,
9:41 am
to be honest, doesn't come out of nowhere. obviously the scale is immense, but given the anti—migrant and anti—muslim hatred that has been spreading, but also that has been mainstream for so many years, you know, that has sort of given the far right more confident outlook to think that they could maybe get away with this. the scale of the violence and the extremist violence is of a very different scale than we have seen recently. it would be very hard for the police to see who is involved. a lot of arrests have been made, but especially for the online content with the online safety act, whilst i are no offences that have been added to the online safety act for spreading disinformation, for instance, how are they going to find those people and hold them accountable for what they have done? on that point, the government say that they would like the social media companies to do more to tackle that, but then you have elon musk,
9:42 am
the head of x, tweeting that civil war is inevitable in the uk. it is very hard for the government to hold the social media companies to account over the spread of disinformation.— account over the spread of disinformation. , , ~' disinformation. definitely. ithink where to happen _ disinformation. definitely. ithink where to happen could _ disinformation. definitely. ithink where to happen could do - disinformation. definitely. ithink where to happen could do more, | disinformation. definitely. ithink. where to happen could do more, it disinformation. definitely. ithink- where to happen could do more, it is going to be two pronged approach also in terms of the government holding tech companies to account, but first of all tech companies have their own terms of service which is basically the platform rules about what is allowed and what is not allowed on the platform. what we have seen with southport and the accompanying violence is that these terms of service have not been enforced adequately. for example, when the police were saying that the name was false and it was disinformation, what platforms could have done and is under terms of service when fighting disinformation is to those credible voices. for example, that police message that it was false. what we saw was the opposite of that. we saw far right
9:43 am
ideologues and users spreading disinformation and disinformation itself being algorithmically amplified and brought to users' feeds. first of all, making sure the platforms and their own terms of service is very important. on the other hand, the second point, with the online safety act, i think rightfully so it focuses on the risks that platforms have. what are the features that might lead people to be exposed to harmful content? that risk based approach is something i really think we should focus on more, given that we are not really going to remove our way out of this. we cannot remove all the content, but there are a host of tools are tech companies have, and the government has, to make sure thatis the government has, to make sure that is in force.— that is in force. and from the extremism — anne craanen, thank you for your time. japanese shares have bounced back sharply a day after suffering record losses. let's go to the singapore bureau.

9:45 am
if you remember last wednesday, the bank ofjapan, the if you remember last wednesday, the bank of japan, the country's central bank, raised interest rates to 0.25%, so it is still very low, but that was enough to trigger the rally in the japanese yen. we have been talking about how the weakness of the japanese currency is a huge issue for the japanese economy. the authorities have been intervening, they spent $100 billion since the end of april trying to prop up the value of the japanese currency. then came that rate hike last week and then there we go, the yen was rallying, but it was almost too extreme. that is why investors started to get nervous. of course, japan is a nation of exporters, many companies like toyota, sony and nintendo all export their products, and the stronger yen makes their products more expensive abroad. thank you very much indeed. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

9:47 am
to google has almost become a verb for a web search, but there are, of course, other search engines. now a usjudge has ruled that google acted illegally to crush its competition and maintain a monopoly on online search and related advertising. the company was found to have paid millions to tech firms, such as apple and samsung, to be set as the default search engine on their products. google says it will appeal the decision. let's speak to tech journalist chris stokel—walker. being called a landmark decision — how big a blow is this to google? i think it is potentially huge. we don't yet know what the ramifications will be in this case, but the us department ofjustice has successfully managed to wring an anti—trust case, a monopoly case against google for the first time everin against google for the first time ever in terms of google. we have seen similar things happening with microsoft in the past, maybe 15 or
9:48 am
so years ago there were issues around the default web browser on operating systems where microsoft would seem to have bundled in and monopolised that market. in this case, when we are talking about search, that involves huge numbers of people, so this is a really significant blow against big tech. just explain how it works. i've my mobile phone and it has google on there. they pay samsung and apple and the others to have that, don't they? and the others to have that, don't the ? , ., , , ., , and the others to have that, don't the? ,~/ ,, ., they? they do. essentially what gooale they? they do. essentially what google has _ they? they do. essentially what google has done _ they? they do. essentially what google has done is _ they? they do. essentially what google has done is one - they? they do. essentially what google has done is one of - they? they do. essentially what google has done is one of the i google has done is one of the biggest companies in the world, it has vast volumes of cash, able to splurge on this sort of stuff. it signed deals with companies like apple and others, often worth tens of billions of dollars over multiple years, to basically guarantee that they have the default position. because users are frankly not that keen on trying to go into the settings to change the sort of stuff, it means that those users are
9:49 am
able to kind of be ensnared in google's default position. we know that it has a 90% share in the search market, we know one of the biggest competitors, which is microsoft bing is only around 6%. those numbers have stayed relatively stable for a number of years. the judge in this case were saying that means that the market isn't working correctly and that suggests to him that this is a monopoly.— that this is a monopoly. whereas goo . le's that this is a monopoly. whereas google's lawyers _ that this is a monopoly. whereas google's lawyers are _ that this is a monopoly. whereas google's lawyers are defending l that this is a monopoly. whereas j google's lawyers are defending it that this is a monopoly. whereas i google's lawyers are defending it by saying that users are attracted to their scent engine because they find it useful and that google is investing to make it better for consumers. investing to make it better for consumers-— investing to make it better for consumers. , _ ., , consumers. they will say that. they are obviously _ consumers. they will say that. they are obviously hugely _ consumers. they will say that. they are obviously hugely successful, - are obviously hugely successful, they have become synonymous with the world of search and there is no doubt that that google search engine is very good. obviously they are going to appeal this because ultimately, well we don't yet know what the consequences will be, the judge has not yet decided on those remedies yet, the likelihood is it will be significant notjust for google but also for other big tech
9:50 am
companies. you can imagine similar sorts of alleged monopoly is where the companies involved were denied that, of course, starting two may be chipped away. the us department of justice has multiple cases against big companies— apple, amazon and the likes— for essentially what they say is cornering off those markets in their particular areas of expertise. this could be seen as a bit of a test case. chris, thank you very much indeed for your insight into that. and you can get more on that story on the technology section of the bbc news website or app. there's an article there detailing all of the arguments that thejudge article there detailing all of the arguments that the judge made and what google are seeing in response. all you need to do is head to the bbc news website or app and click on the section. you will find it there. you're watching bbc news. ijust want i just want to bring you ijust want to bring you some breaking news out of scotland. it is exam results stay in scotland. the

scottish qualifications authority is saying that it is working urgently to resolve issues after some candidates who signed up to receive results by e—mail reportedly received blank e—mails. the sqa said theissueis received blank e—mails. the sqa said the issue is affecting candidates who signed up to receive their results by e—mail only. so, imagine you are expecting your results and you're waiting for that e—mail, and you're waiting for that e—mail, and you get a blank e—mail. that is what we are hearing has happened to some students in scotland. now, the scottish qualifications authority has posted on x saying, we are working urgently to resolve the issue. texts are not impacted. the vast majority of learners who signed up vast majority of learners who signed up to what is known as my sqa are receiving their results as expected. of receiving their results as expected. of course, receiving their results as expected. of course, everyone receiving their results as expected. of course, everyone in scotland will also get a physical certificate today. that has been sent out by

9:53 am
undertaken. these are complex cases, but we have found clear failings in all three companies. there are issues which go beyond their preference, beyond our current legal obligations and that is why we have announced a spending package for the next five years which will drive sector performance app, including further reductions in sewer discharges. it's august and in scotland's capital city that means only one thing — it's time for edinburgh festival fringe. for the next three and a half weeks, thousands of artists from all over the world will be gathering in the city for what's billed as "one of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture on the planet". our reporter courtney bembridge is there. and i am andiama and i am a littlejealous! and i am a little jealous! what is and i am a little 'ealous! what is auoin on and i am a little 'ealous! what is going on today?— and i am a little jealous! what is going on today? don't _ and i am a little jealous! what is going on today? don't hate - and i am a little jealous! what is going on today? don't hate me l going on today? don't hate me because you — ain't a' |n�*t m e! ain't me! i am very lucky to be joined today by matt hale, who is a hypnotist. that wasn't enough for
