the unrest across the uk with terrorism offences. on the topic of those riots we can cross over now to our correspondent damien graham atticus who has been following all the very latest including with the government response. keir starmer has been in his second meeting regarding those riots. he has had two of these emergency coordination meetings, in response to national events of importance in crisis, the second immediately followed that today and that clearly is a signal i think but the

government is aware, sir keir starmer has only been prime minister for a month and this is a real test of his authority. what he was saying is that the meeting today it was all about coordinating the response because more protests, more riots are expected in the coming days and also about sending a clear message and to that end, he said people who had been arrested, some of them would be facing sentencing before the end of the week. this is what he has said in the past couple of minutes. has said in the past couple of minutes-_ has said in the past couple of minutes. ., , ., minutes. the meeting was to co-ordinate _ minutes. the meeting was to co-ordinate our— minutes. the meeting was to co-ordinate our response - minutes. the meeting was to co-ordinate our response to l minutes. the meeting was to i co-ordinate our response to the co—ordinate our response to the disorden — co—ordinate our response to the disorder. and i made it very clear on a _ disorder. and i made it very clear on a number_ disorder. and i made it very clear on a number of occasions that those involved _ on a number of occasions that those involved will feel the full force of the law — involved will feel the full force of the law. so we coordinated, we went through— the law. so we coordinated, we went through some of the numbers come up over 400 _ through some of the numbers come up over 400 people now have been arrested, — over 400 people now have been arrested, 100 have been charged. some _ arrested,100 have been charged. some in_ arrested, 100 have been charged. some in relation to online activity, and a _ some in relation to online activity, and a number of them are already in court _ and a number of them are already in court i'm_ and a number of them are already in court. i'm now expecting substantiative sentencing before the end of— substantiative sentencing before the end of this week. that should send a

one video of someone being arrested for comments on mine, sir keir starmer did not want to engage with that at all and there is a clear message about a row between him and the owner of x, it is that action on the owner of x, it is that action on the streets, and what he says clearly his criminality, and mr starmer�*s on history was as the chief prosecutor of the uk, director of public prosecutions, when their previous rights, and it is worth noting there was a very strong response then and some very serious sentences handed out. fiur sentences handed out. our correspondent _ sentences handed out. our correspondent their - sentences handed out. our correspondent their damian grammaticas, bringing us the very latest out of that second cobra meeting in the uk, thank you very much. we turned out to sport. and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here is olly foster. thank you very much indeed. we will start at the olympics, where else?

there was a huge shock in the men's 1,500 metre final, billed as a head to head between fierce rivalsjosh kerr from great britain and norway's olympic championjacob ingebritssen, but it was the american cole hocker who stole the show. ingebritsen led from the off and set a world record pace as he looked to unsettle kerr, who beat him in the world championships last year. kerr moved past him on the final bend, but they weren't alone, and as both tired, hocker stormed up the inside to take gold in an olympic record time — three minutes 27.65 seconds. a huge shock. ingebritsen's exertions caught up with him as he faded out of the medals, and kerr only took silver on a photo finish ahead of another american, yared nuguse. quite a race! great britain's first medal of the day came in the park skateboarding event as sky brown matched the bronze that she won three years ago as a 13—year—old. it was an incredible result considering that she dislocated her shoulderjust over a week ago

and needs surgery. her third and last run lifted her up to the silver, but she had to wait for four other competitors to complete their final runs, and japan's cocona hiraki pushed her down to bronze, just as she did in tokyo. 14—year—old australian arisa trew took gold. china are still unbeaten on the diving. they won the women's ten metre platform. after winning the synchro event together, quan hongchan and chen yuxi claimed the gold and silver. quan led throughout to beat her compatriot. kim mi rae of north korea took bronze. that's five out of five golds so far for china with three more diving events left. germany have completed a clean sweep of golds in the individual equestrian events as well as team dressage. christian kukuk won gold in the showjumping. only three riders managed to go clear to qualify for the finaljump—off, and kukuk — on his horse

checker 47 — was the only one to go clear in that. swiss steve guerdat won silver, the netherlands�* maikel van der vleuten took bronze. i had ihada i had a good feeling, but this day has... you need the look on your site a little bit. it actually it did not really feel like i needed a lot of luck today. checker was an absolute outstanding performance, the way he jumped discourse today is incredible. i'm so, so proud of him and ijust want incredible. i'm so, so proud of him and i just want to enjoy incredible. i'm so, so proud of him and ijust want to enjoy it. the usa women's football team have made it into the final after beating germany i—o in extra time in lyon. sophia smith scored their winner. they will face either spain or brazil at the parc de princes on saturday. they are playing their semifinal right now in marseille, brazil taking an early lead through an irene paredes own goal. it remains i—o to the brazilians.

a day after successfully defending his olympic pole vault title, mondo duplantis has been enjoying the limelight and had a visit from sweden's king carl gustaf. duplantis — who was born in louisiana but competes for his mother's native sweden — easily won gold before going on to clear 6.25 metres to break the world record for the ninth time, but for the first time on the graeest stage of all. on the greatest stage of all. he says he believes he canjump higher but isn't thinking about the future just yet. i feel like i have ifeel like i have a lot higher heights in me. but i don't really care about the future right now. i'm enjoying this moment very much and i'm just going to enjoy what i've done. he proud of myself, enjoy it with my family and my trends and my close ones and that's about it. i don't worry about anything else after that. the future will come and

i am going to live in the present right now and just enjoy this. away from the games, some more transfer news with the premier league season ten days away. manchester city have agreed to let julian alvarezjoin atletico madrid for what would be a club record £81 million. the la liga club will pay at least £64 million up front with a further £17 million in potential add—ons for the argentinian world cup winner. alvarez has yet to agree personal terms, but if it goes through, it'll represent a big profit for city, who signed him two years ago for £14 million. another update for you later on this evening. the women's 200 metres final isjust evening. the women's 200 metres final is just about to get going. bad timing, because i got to hand back to you! but we will have an update on that later. we will stay across it as well. thanks a lot. the unrest in some areas of the uk over the past week has — in part — been fuelled by misinformation circulating online. the government has said social media companies have a moral

responsibility to clamp down on any misinformation. the prime minister has criticised elon musk who owns x — formerly known as twitter — for saying the uk was heading for civil war. and elon musk has directly challenged sir keir starmer on his social media platform again today. joining me now are adam satariano, european technology correspondent at the new york times, and julia ebner, leader of the violent extremism lab at the university of oxford. welcome to you both. thanks so much for discussing a really important topic here. adam, to begin with, when we see all of this, what do you think is behind the fact that it seems that social media companies do have a hard time cracking down on misinformation and disinformation? is it that is extremely difficult? is it that is extremely difficult? is it that some don't want to, a mix

of both? your thoughts? i is it that some don't want to, a mix of both? your thoughts?— of both? your thoughts? i think it is all those _ of both? your thoughts? i think it is all those things _ of both? your thoughts? i think it is all those things at _ of both? your thoughts? i think it is all those things at the - of both? your thoughts? i think it is all those things at the same - is all those things at the same time. in major moments of crisis or when news is happening fast, or there's a lack of news in this case, there's a lack of news in this case, the social media jumps into the void and it can be very hard to moderate at speed. but at the same time, you have platforms that have tremendous reach, where moderation isjust not much of a priority, where it's been deemphasized since elon musk purchased twitter and renamed it x. moderation has been diminished but you also have platforms like telegram which also have a lot of reach, particularly among groups are participating in some of these protests and riots, and so it's all these things at the same time. talking about some of that moderation being deemphasized,

julia, i wonder, moderation being deemphasized, julia, iwonder, coming moderation being deemphasized, julia, i wonder, coming to you, people like yourself, research researchers in this field, you have been warning about giving the platform to the likes of the far right and so on? ijust wonder, connecting the dots here, what has happened? have those warnings been heard by governments or not? to some extent, heard by governments or not? to some extent. yes- — heard by governments or not? to some extent. yes- to — heard by governments or not? to some extent, yes. to some _ extent, yes. to some extent, governments, policymakers have taken actions _ governments, policymakers have taken actions to _ governments, policymakers have taken actions to force tech firms by introducing new laws to force them to remove — introducing new laws to force them to remove content and to remove accounts _ to remove content and to remove accounts that are spreading hateful or hateful— accounts that are spreading hateful or hateful content or disinformation, and this of course, some _ disinformation, and this of course, some of— disinformation, and this of course, some of the — disinformation, and this of course, some of the platforms have taken action— some of the platforms have taken action because of the pressure and because _ action because of the pressure and because of— action because of the pressure and because of things like the eu digital— because of things like the eu digital services act or also the anti-hate _ digital services act or also the anti—hate speech light in the uk, 0nline _ anti—hate speech light in the uk, online safety bill, they have been steps _ online safety bill, they have been steps forward in the right direction, however, there is a

massive — direction, however, there is a massive gap because the way the algorithms work, it's also fundamentally fuelling hateful and radical _ fundamentally fuelling hateful and radical contents, so this is something where we need a bigger response _ something where we need a bigger response and we really need to hold tech firms _ response and we really need to hold tech firms accountable for the way that their— tech firms accountable for the way that their business models work, and which _ that their business models work, and which ways— that their business models work, and which ways they exploit human biases and the _ which ways they exploit human biases and the human psychology. they try to harvest _ and the human psychology. they try to harvest our attention and that means— to harvest our attention and that means disinformation spreads much more _ means disinformation spreads much more easily— means disinformation spreads much more easily because it often taps into very— more easily because it often taps into very deep emotions such as fear and outrage — into very deep emotions such as fear and outrage and indignation. andl and outrage and indignation. and i 'ust and outrage and indignation. and i just wonder. _ and outrage and indignation. and i just wonder, adam, _ and outrage and indignation. in i just wonder, adam, coming to you, do you think this will put pressure on ofcom when it comes to the uk online safety bill to do more in light of what we are seeing? absolutely. i think there's _ what we are seeing? absolutely. i think there's going _ what we are seeing? absolutely. i think there's going to _ what we are seeing? absolutely. i think there's going to be - what we are seeing? absolutely. i think there's going to be a - what we are seeing? absolutely. i think there's going to be a big - what we are seeing? absolutely. i i think there's going to be a big boom in political pressure both on ofcom and on the social media companies. the saudi government putting out the statement, i think it was yesterday, sitting down with representatives with some of the big platforms like

tiktok and meta and youtube —— you saw the government. trying to do more. at the same time, i feel like the government ability to put pressure on these companies is somewhat limited in that the online safety law, for instance, is very much focused on stuff that is very much focused on stuff that is very much illegal, whether it is terrorism content or revenge pornography, it is very explicit about these things where it is more clear—cut about what's. .. with disinformation, it's less so. we have to leave _ disinformation, it's less so. we have to leave it there. adam and julia, thank you so much for being with us. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

now, let's move back to the middle east, where a senior ally of president vladimir putin arrived in tehran back in monday, for talks with the iranian leadership.

former defence minister sergei shoigu held meeting with the iranian president, as well as top security officials, weighing iran's response to the killing of the hamas leader ismail haniyeh. russia has officially condemned the killing of ismail haniyeh in tehran last week and called on all parties to refrain from steps that could tip the middle east into a wider regional war. for more on that, we are joined now by anna borshevskaya, senior fellow at the washington institute for near east policy. anna, thank you for taking time and being with us. of course we know iran's president has not been in office very long, meeting with sergei shoigu as a pretty prompt order of business, what do you make of that? i order of business, what do you make of that? ~ , of that? i think the first thing happening — of that? i think the first thing happening is _ of that? i think the first thing happening is putting - of that? i think the first thing happening is putting is - of that? i think the first thing - happening is putting is ostensibly, for the optics of it, trying to position russia as a peacemaker and this is part of his standard playbook, and therefore it was reported that

he was reportedly passing on a message to the iranian president to avoid any civilian casualties. but the fact of the matter is, putin... putin says this, he is also directly benefiting from the ongoing chaos in the middle east and he is actually exacerbating it. so fuelling chaos in the middle east is actually to his advantage and that's what he's also giving. his advantage and that's what he's also caivin. ., ~ his advantage and that's what he's also caivin. . ~ ., his advantage and that's what he's also arivin. . ,, ., , also giving. talking a little bit more about — also giving. talking a little bit more about that, _ also giving. talking a little bit more about that, do - also giving. talking a little bit more about that, do you - also giving. talking a little bit| more about that, do you think also giving. talking a little bit - more about that, do you think that there is the possibility here that you might get iran looking to kind of cash in a favour when you look at the support that it's given to russia in its full—scale invasion of ukraine and in turn he might be now looking for something back with regards to this situation in the middle east? it’s regards to this situation in the middle east?— middle east? it's certainly possible. _ middle east? it's certainly possible, and _ middle east? it's certainly possible, and there - middle east? it's certainly i possible, and there were... middle east? it's certainly - possible, and there were... it is certainly possible iran might be asking for something to that effect, and in fact, there were reports

earlier today that supposedly russia might be transferring advanced weaponry to iran. those reports are very vague and they were in advance can be lots of different things, but the fact of the matter is the bigger story here is that one way or the other, russia's strategic convergence with iran is going to continue, along with russia continuing to empower iranian proxies in the region. the continuing to empower iranian proxies in the region. the west will be watching — proxies in the region. the west will be watching this _ proxies in the region. the west will be watching this very _ proxies in the region. the west will be watching this very closely - proxies in the region. the west will be watching this very closely and i i be watching this very closely and i just wonder what you think their strategy might be if they are looking at countering the influence of moscow this time when it comes to the middle east. how will they go about that? the the middle east. how will they go about that?— about that? the best way to combat russia in the — about that? the best way to combat russia in the middle _ about that? the best way to combat russia in the middle east _ about that? the best way to combat russia in the middle east is - about that? the best way to combat russia in the middle east is to - about that? the best way to combat russia in the middle east is to lookl russia in the middle east is to look for a way to connect ukraine theatres with the middle east theatre, in other words, theatres with the middle east theatre, in otherwords, craft a more holistic strategy, because

putin made it clear that the current thing is about more than ukraine and what he is doing in the middle east is part of this global strategy that, this globalfight is part of this global strategy that, this global fight that he is involved in. in fact american adversaries, to an extent, are now feeling more emboldened, press —— precisely because they see russia continues to wages war in ukraine, so there needs to be a way to connect the two theatres and look for ways to diminish russia's resources, its ability to hype the war. again, if you look at what's happening across the middle east, there are reports of russia potentially arming the houthis, if not arming them, they are certainly empowering them in other ways, so if putin made this fight to be about more than ukraine, in the west, they need to look at this more than ukraine as well. mi need to look at this more than ukraine as well.—

need to look at this more than ukraine as well. all right, anna borshevskaya, _ ukraine as well. all right, anna borshevskaya, an _ ukraine as well. all right, anna borshevskaya, an expert - ukraine as well. all right, anna borshevskaya, an expert on - ukraine as well. all right, anna i borshevskaya, an expert on those relations between russia and the middle east of the now very much in focus, in light of that visit, thanks a lot. turning to sport now once again. it's day 11 of the paris olympics — and it's ended in dramatic fashion, with the united states returning to the top of the olympics medal table, with cole hocker winning the men's 1500 metres final. team gb�*sjosh kerr has settled for silver while his norwegian arch—rival and defending olympic championjakob ingebrigtsen missed out on a medal. rachel boswell is a senior content writer at runner's world uk. rachel, i have to say, when we said we were going to have you on i thought we are going to be talking about someone else prevailing, and a very impressive rivalry between two runners, but, no, bit ofan very impressive rivalry between two runners, but, no, bit of an upset,

he still looked quite pleased with the result and that's possibly because he still came up top against ingebrigtsen. because he still came up top against lngebrigtsen— ingebrigtsen. yeah, i have to say, this is why — ingebrigtsen. yeah, i have to say, this is why we _ ingebrigtsen. yeah, i have to say, this is why we love _ ingebrigtsen. yeah, i have to say, this is why we love the _ ingebrigtsen. yeah, i have to say, this is why we love the olympics l ingebrigtsen. yeah, i have to say, i this is why we love the olympics and why we love sport, you were mentioning that rivalry between them, very much notjust on the track. i think you referred to it as beef between them off the track as well. just run us through a little bit with that looks like. band well. just run us through a little bit with that looks like. and lot of sort, bit with that looks like. and lot of sport. especially _ bit with that looks like. and lot of sport, especially in _ bit with that looks like. and lot of sport, especially in athletics, - bit with that looks like. and lot of sport, especially in athletics, is l sport, especially in athletics, is quite performative, a lot of athletes put on a front to try to cite each other out, but off the track, in press conferences, throughout the past year, since kerr beat ingebrigtsen at the ro championships, there's been all the comments and remarks between the two, i'm betterthan comments and remarks between the two, i'm better than you, the confidence level could not be higher, and it's a very real rivalry which is why it's such a shock now

that after such a heated debate between the two, actually, cole hocker has come along and beaten them both! but it was a fantastic race. we had so many national records, we got an olympic record, kerr got a personal best, he beat his personal best buy over a second, so i think he should still hang his head very, very high with that performance. this head very, very high with that performance-— head very, very high with that performance. head very, very high with that rerformance. ~ , i. , ., performance. as you say, might be a rirht eve performance. as you say, might be a right every with _ performance. as you say, might be a right every with three _ performance. as you say, might be a right every with three picture - performance. as you say, might be a right every with three picture in - right every with three picture in the picture, —— a rivalry now. these guys are still young, i don't think this will be career ending for the likes of kerr or ingebrigtsen? ida. likes of kerr or ingebrigtsen? no, absolutely not. _ likes of kerr or ingebrigtsen? iifr, absolutely not. we forget that kerr is only 26 years old, ingebrigtsen is only 26 years old, ingebrigtsen is only 26 years old, ingebrigtsen is only 23, and i think we forget how young they are because they have achieved so much already. they have broken national records of the european records, but what is really exciting is they are, and more of

the field as well, incredibly hungry for more, incredibly ambitious, so there was a lot of hype for this particular olympic final, but what's great for us spectators and athletics fans is that this is definitely not the last contest between the two, or the three, or all of them, because the bronze medallist from the usa is also up there and in contention. i think the 1500 metres from here on in is more than a battle between two athletes. i think they are running at something like over three minutes — it makes me a little bit cruising thinking about it! incredible scenes. rachel boswell, very good to talk to you. you are watching bbc news. i am talk to you. you are watching bbc news. iam helena humphrey in london. stay with us if you can. bye for now. hello. the weather's varied a fair bit today, from sunny skies to quite wet conditions in one or two spots. how about this evening and overnight? the skies will clear,

showers will start to fade and it's going to be a fairly quiet night on the weatherfront. so here's the earlier satellite picture. this is the weather front that brought the outbreaks of rain to east anglia and the southeast. but through the evening hours we'll see showers spreading into western parts of scotland, then a bit of a gap and then more showers through the early hours as we get closer to the centre of this low pressure, which is approaching the uk. but elsewhere it's mostly clear, particularly in the east central areas and further south, and whether you're in the north or the south, temperatures will be about the same early in the morning on wednesday between 10—13 celsius. so here's that low pressure with its cluster of showers sweeping across western and northwestern scotland. showers also further south into northern england, northern ireland, some also around merseyside, and blustery winds further north. in fact, gusts could approach or exceed 40mph. further south, it scattered fair weather clouds.

a decent breeze, but pleasant enough — 23 in london, around 18 in glasgow, and then on thursday, as one area of low pressure pulls away, the next one comes in. this is going to bring extensive layers of cloud initially to many western and south—western parts of the uk. so it starts off quite bright in the east. but then heavier rain will spread into north—western england, across northern ireland and eventually into parts of scotland. but it does look as though east anglia and the south—east could just about stay dry through most of the day and the far north of scotland too. so that's thursday — how about end of the week? well, that low pressure pulls away. in its wake, still a weather front draped across scotland, so that means thicker cloud and some showers, but also quite blustery weather. once again, 40mph winds. to the south of that, it's going to be a breezy day, but a generally sunny day. and despite the wind, still up to about 25 celsius, i think, in london and typically the low—20s further north. so that's the week — how about the weekend?

after a fairly changeable week, it does look as though things gradually through the weekend could actually turn very warm across many parts of england. and there are signs that we could get something really quite hot early in the week, but it's just a low chance for now. bye. hello, i'm helena humphrey. you're watching the context on bbc news. he is a military veteran, he's a teacher, he's a former high school coach. he is also, by the way,

someone who hasn't been to an ivy league university, which i think is quite something. but what he does do, he brings this balance to the ticket. tim walz's record is a joke. he's been one of the most far left radicals in the entire united states government at any level, and i think what tim walz's selection says is that kamala harris has bent the knee to the far left of her party, which is what she always does. the argument is that perhaps - mr shapiro might have been a vote loser because like joe biden,| he's a very staunch supporter of israel and that has been losing the democrats votes. _ first, the latest headlines. kamala harris has chosen the governor of minnesota, tim walz, as her running mate for the presidential election. it means he will become vice president if ms harris wins. in a statement, she highlighted his

accomplishments in office but said
