crucial to win a state official angel in order to win the white house —— of the state of pennsylvania. joshua shapiro made an appearance tonight to lend his support to the harris—walz ticket. no surprises that tim walz also took an early opportunity to pay tribute to josh took an early opportunity to pay tribute tojosh shapiro, somebody that the campaign will be the support of in the next few weeks if they are to triumph in november. david willis in washington, - triumph in november. david willis in washington, many | willis in washington, many thanks. now to the middle east, where hamas has announced that yahya sinwar, israel's most wanted man, has been chosen as the new head of the group. he succeeds ismail haniyeh, who was assassinated in the iranian capital, tehran, last week. let's take a look at yahya sinwar�*s background. he has most recently been serving as the leader of hamas's military wing in gaza. israel holds him, along with others, responsible for the october

7th attack on israel, which killed around 1,200 people and saw over 200 kidnapped. the 61—year—old was born in the khan younis refugee camp in southern gaza. his parents were refugees. after his education, he was arrested by israel at age 19, for what they called islamic activities. it's during this time that he won the confidence of the founder of hamas. two years after the group's formation, when he was just 25, sinwar set up the feared internal security organisation — the al—majd. in 1988, sinwar allegedly planned the abduction and killing of two israeli soldiers. he was arrested later in the year israel and imprisoned after a murder conviction by israel. —— in israel. our diplomatic correspondent paul adams sent this from jerusalem.

we understand that the appointment of yahya sinwar as the leader of hamas was unanimous by the organisation's leadership. it was always likely in the wake of the assassination of ismail haniyeh, an assassination blamed universally on israel, even though israel has yet to comment directly on it. it was always likely that yahya sinwar would be the figure to take over. there were one or two other candidates, but yahya sinwar is by far the most prominent. and i think what it tells us is that hamas's reaction to the assassination of ismail haniyeh is one of total defiance by killing, if not a moderate, by killing, if not a moderate, definitely the most pragmatic member of hamas, israel has now secured as the leader of hamas, the most radical, the figure

within the organisation, the man most committed to the use of violence, the man generally regarded as the chief architect of the dreadful hamas attacks of october the 7th last year. there is no interlocutor now for hamas outside of the gaza strip. everything is now going to be in the hands of yahya sinwar. frankly, most of it was already before this, but he is now, before this, but he is now the, if you like, undisputed, uh, political and military leader of hamas. it is going to make it very difficult, if not impossible to conduct negotiations. it's all a very cumbersome process of getting messages in and out of the gaza strip. none of that is going to be made any easier as a result of this. as far as the israeli reaction is concerned — well, perhaps they anticipated that their attitude towards mr sinwar is the same as their attitude towards anyone associated with hamas, which is that he is a terrorist leader, a man with israeli blood on his hands, will not rest until he, like

ismail haniyeh, is dead. and we have hasd some reaction from israel. katz has called to �*swifty eliminate' new hamas also said that was great. khaled elgindy, senior fellow and director of the programme on palestine and palestinian—israeli affairs palestinian—israeli affairs. many thanks for your time.

can you tell us what we know about sinwar? we can you tell us what we know about sinwar?— can you tell us what we know about sinwar? ~ ~ ., ., , about sinwar? we know he was if not the chief _ about sinwar? we know he was if not the chief architect, _ about sinwar? we know he was if not the chief architect, one - about sinwar? we know he was if not the chief architect, one of. not the chief architect, one of the architects of the october the architects of the october the 7th attacks on israel. he's known to be quite militant, quite hardline. so, his election, his appointment as the unanimous successor and leader of hamas, i think is very clear a message —— clearly a message of defiance directed at israel. after ten months and almost the complete annihilation of gaza, it has yet to achieve anything that it could call a victory. this

yet to achieve anything that it could call a victory.— could call a victory. as you sa , could call a victory. as you say. he's _ could call a victory. as you say, he's seen _ could call a victory. as you say, he's seen to - could call a victory. as you say, he's seen to be - could call a victory. as you say, he's seen to be more| say, he's seen to be more hardline. how do you think that will change the dynamic of the conflict. ? i will change the dynamic of the conflict- ?_ conflict. ? ithink it will make it— conflict. ? ithink it will make it harder- conflict. ? ithink it will make it harder if- conflict. ? ithink it will make it harder if not i make it harder if not impossible to reach a cease—fire. it's true that yahya sinwar was mostly calling the shots from inside gaza as far as the negotiations were concerned. but he had come under the influence of others ismail haniyeh like, who was one of the members of the leadership to commence yahya sinwar to make certain concessions like giving up the demand that israel explicitly commit to a permanent cease—fire. so, now that that is gone and the fact that

israel assassinated probably the most moderate member of hamas leadership and the chief interlocutor in the cease—fire negotiations, i think will be much harder now to achieve a cease—fire. it's hard to imagine that that wasn't anticipated if not the actual objective that israel sought and killing.— objective that israel sought and killing. briefly, because we are running _ and killing. briefly, because we are running out - and killing. briefly, because we are running out of- and killing. briefly, because we are running out of time. | we are running out of time. yahya sinwar is in gaza right now. how is he likely to be able to do the job? i now. how is he likely to be able to do the job?- able to do the “ob? i think ou'll able to do the “ob? i think you-u do _ able to do the “ob? i think you'll do the _ able to do the job? i think you'll do the job _ able to do the job? i think you'll do the job the - able to do the job? i think you'll do the job the way l able to do the job? i think. you'll do the job the way he has done. i think the focus will be on survival. if he manages to survive, he's essentially won. as long as hamas manages to survive, then they've denied israel that victory, as we heard from the israeli foreign minister, to bite israel off the map — i'm sorry, to wipe hamas off the

map. just denying israel the ability to destroy hamas i think is itself a victory, and i think that's what his focus will be, just on survival. right. we have to leave it there. from the middle east institute from washington. israeli has confirmed using fighterjets to hit what it called a military structure used by hezbollah in the southern lebanese town of maifadoun. the israeli defence forces released this aerial footage of the attack. the lebanese authorities said six people had been killed in the strike. shortly afterwards, hezbollah launched a drone attack on an israeli military facility on the country's northern coast.

nineteen israelis were injured. in a televised speech, the hezbollah leader, hassan nasrallah said the attack wasn't in response to israel's killing of a senior commander from the group last week. he did though say that their response to that will be "strong" and "effective". that it's coming, and that the group may act alone or in co—ordination with other iranian—supported factions in the region. our middle east correspondent hugo bachega reports from beirut. the speech by hassan nasrallah was closely watched here in lebanon and across the region for any indication of what hezbollah is planning to do. and again, he said a response by hezbollah to the assassination of a senior commander last week here in beirut was coming. he said this response would be strong and effective. fuad shukr was killed in an israeli air strike that hit the southern suburbs of beirut, which is a hezbollah

stronghold here in the capital, and hassan nasrallah said that this assassination could not be treated as any other attack. now, there are concerns that this response by hezbollah could lead to an escalation of hostilities between hezbollah and israel, and trigger a wider conflict in the region. now, in recent days, countries around the world have urged their citizens to leave lebanon immediately. flights are being cancelled and suspended, many tickets have sold out, so very limited options available for those who are now trying to leave the country. but there's no sense of panic here. people are waiting to see what hezbollah is going to do. there are also concerns about the expected response from iran to the assassination of the hamas political leader, ismail haniyeh, in tehran last week. both hamas and iran blame israel for that attack. israel hasn't commented, and american officials believe that iran is planning a wide—scale attack on israel. that could happen in coordination with other iranian supported groups in the region.

around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

you're watching newsday. the nobel peace prize winner, muhammad yunus, has been named as the leader of an interim government in bangladesh, a day after the former prime minister was ousted. the announcement was made following talks between the president and student leaders who played a key role in the weeks of protests that toppled sheikh hasina. mr yunus, who is 84, has faced numerous legal cases this year, which he said were politically motivated. the bangladeshi capital, dhaka, is now reported to be largely calm, but there have been reports of looting and killing across the country. police in bangladesh have gone on strike, complaining of a wave of reprisal attacks against them. our south east asia editor anbarrasan ethirajan

has been following the developments after the prime minister fled the country. the army chief announced that she had resigned, but what did not happen was to bring the situation under control, there was no curfew or there was no soldiers on the streets of many towns and cities. that led to a lot of looting, violence, killings. now, the police association, they said they will be going on a strike because there was no security for them. more than 400 police stations were attacked overnight. the police stations were empty. they all ran for their lives, they're not coming back. this morning, people visited the empty police stations. many buildings were damaged, a hotel belonging to the previously governing party was set alight. more than 20 people were killed in one of the towns. so, there was total confusion and chaos.

but today, what we understand in the late afternoon, the situation was coming under control as the military and the president all are now involved in trying to form this interim administration, the first step is to dissolve parliament so that they can call for an interim administration. and the student leaders, they say they want professor muhammad yunus, the nobel peace prize winner, to lead this administration. and i spoke to his office a couple of hours ago, and his secretary, she said he had agreed to this proposal, and he is now in paris to see the olympics also to work with social business. so, he's going back tonight to dhaka and then see how the political developments happen there. in the uk, the prime minister has held the second emergency cobra committee meeting in two days as concerns grow ahead of around a0 demonstrations that are planned tomorrow. sir keir starmer has promised communities that they will be kept safe, saying the government is doing everything it can to ensure that there's a police response where needed. —— that are planned later today.

and he warned that anyone involved in disorder, directly or online, will feel the full force of the law. here's our home affairs correspondent daniel sandord. yet another clean—up after yet another night of fear and violence. the crowd should disperse immediately as force - is about to be used - against violent individuals. this time, the worst of it was in belfast, yet more fires and missiles on the seventh day of rioting. and tonight, the prime minister said participants anywhere in the uk should expect swift and severe punishment. over 400 people now have been arrested. 100 have been charged, some in relation to online activity, and a number of them are already in court. and i'm now expecting substantive sentencing before the end of this week. that should send a very powerful message to anybody involved, either directly or online, that you are likely to be dealt with within a week and that nobody, but nobody, should be involving themselves in this disorder.

some of those arrested at sunday's riot in rotherham were appearing in sheffield magistrates court today, including 20—year—old liam gray, who denied the charge against him. as the deputy districtjudge worked through their list of all of those accused of violent disorder at sunday's riot, all of the adults were remanded in prison even though they'd pleaded not guilty. only the two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were given bail. one man, joshua simpson, admitted assaulting a police officer. he was also remanded in prison ahead of his sentencing. the disorder in middlesbrough on sunday led to 28 people appearing in court at teesside magistrates today. the justice secretary said she'd brought forward plans to create 500 more prison places to handle the surge of cases going through the courts. the violence in bolton led

to more charges being swiftly brought as a deterrent. dominic stanbridge being charged with violent disorder, which he denied. james nelson was jailed for two months for criminal damage. there was also the first charge of stirring up racial hatred linked to the week of disorder. 28—year—old jordan parlour pleaded guilty at leeds magistrates to using facebook to encourage others to attack a migrant hotel. the director of public prosecutions said his staff were even considering terrorism charges in some cases. where you have organised groups planning activity for the purposes of advancing their ideology, meeting a political objective, and then planning really, really serious disruption, then, yes, we will consider terrorism offences. it's a week now since the first riot outside a mosque in southport last tuesday. tomorrow, some a0 protests are planned. police have described the prospect as concerning, but they are hoping that the threat of immediate, long prison sentences,

will deter at least some people from engaging in violence. before you go, let's check on the olympics. in the past 2a hours, australia has triumphed in the skateboarding, with 14—year—old arisa trew taking gold in the park skateboarding event, while the usa's gabby thomas won the women's 200m final. finally, herfellow american scored a mild upset —— that's all the time we have for here on newsday. thanks for watching. hello there. there was some sunshine around on tuesday. there will be again on wednesday, and it looks like it should be a dry day across east anglia in the south east this time, whereas on tuesday the rain that we had here was much slower to clear away.

but it has moved away together with that weather front, we've got low pressure bringing some wetter, windy weather towards the northwest of the uk, but we've all got this west or southwesterly wind that's blowing in cooler and fresher air, so these are the temperatures first thing in the morning. it'll be a cooler start to the day through the midlands and eastern parts of england, with some sunshine around as well. of england, with some there will be some sunshine around on wednesday. we're also going to find some showers too, particularly across the northern half of the uk, where the winds will be a bit stronger. and some heavier rain and more persistent rain could affect northern and western scotland in the morning, followed by lots of showers, some of them heavy in the north. sunshine and showers for northern ireland. some showers near these western coasts of england and wales will get blown further inland across wales and northern england, but a good chance of staying dry towards the southeast. here we've got the highest temperatures, not quite as high as tuesday, but still 23 degrees, 18 in the central

belt of scotland. that low pressure bringing the stronger winds in the north, and those showers will pull away overnight, but it allows more weather systems to come in from the atlantic. so we're going to find the cloud increasing and thickening through the morning, outbreaks of rain beginning to arrive, likely to turn wetter in the afternoon across northern ireland, northern england and up into scotland. towards the southeast and the east anglia, there will be very little rain at all — a lot of cloud, yes, but temperatures again 23 degrees. generally, though, those numbers are a little below average for this time of the year. now, that wetter weather that does develop tends to move away towards the north and west overnight, leaving us with some drier prospects for friday. there still could be a weather front hanging around here across southern england during the morning, with a little rain. that then moves away, we get some sunshine following on behind. showers coming into the north, particularly across the northwest of scotland, and those could be quite heavy as well, those temperatures not changing a great deal for northern areas, but it

should warm up a bit through the midlands towards the southeast of england. quick look ahead to the weekend — very mixed weather, chance of some rain at times, but on sunday and particularly monday, signs of something much, much warmer across southeastern parts of the uk.

us markets break their three—day losing streak as an

uneasy calm returns to wall street. and elon musk declares war on advertisers, accusing them of boycotting his social media site x and a brand—new lawsuit. hello and welcome to business today. i'm suranjana tewari. let's start in the us, where the major indices on wall street staged a slight recovery on tuesday, snapping three straight days of losses. the change in sentiment was helped after markets injapan rebounded sharply, reversing steep falls from earlier in the week. but our next guest says the volatility we've seen is farfrom over. let's bring in tim waterer, chief market analyst at kcm trade. the big question is how much further to go in so much market turbulence. i think that's what were waiting to see. the doj blues last week, i think the

bulk of been done it depends on
