planned for tonight. us vice president kamala harris makes her first public appearance with new running mate tim walz, with a second rally planned for later today. israel's army issues a new evacuation order for palestinians in gaza — it says it's in response to rocket fire from the area on tuesday. and i am courtney banbridge live from edinburgh, bringing you all the colour and chaos from the fringe. thank you very much! hello, i'm annita mcveigh. welcome to verified live. three hours of checking out the day's main stories and the facts behind them. the first people to be convicted of violent disorder during a wave of unrest in england and northern ireland have been jailed for up to three years.

it comes as the uk's most senior police officer warns that anyone planning to riot on the streets later today will be met with the full force of the law. sir mark rowley was speaking as the government announced that nearly 6,000 officers are being mobilised to tackle any violence that breaks out. so far, more than 400 arrests have been made and around 100 people charged. with the latest, our political correspondent, joe pike reports. significant prison sentences are what the authorities hope will help quell criminality, and the warning from the police remains. get involved and we will track you down. we'll throw the full force of the law at offenders, whether that's charging people with assaults, violent disorder, riot and if terrorism offences are appropriate. i know the director of public prosecutions has said he's prepared to consider that. just over a week since the knife attack in southport, where three

young girls lost their lives, the threat of further riots and disorder remains. sources here at downing street have told me that keir starmer is hoping the handing out of tough sentences could be a turning point. this may be the moment, they say, that makes people think twice about getting involved in disorder and unrest. but the pressure to calm tensions is on, with reports further protests planned tonight. london's mayor, sadiq khan, has tweeted that in many parts of the country, black and asian people don't feel safe. i've been advised to work from home because my office is right where the protests begin. i feel threatened. i feel fear. meanwhile, commons speaker lindsay hoyle has written to mps to suggest that those with high profile constituency offices consider working from home. with more protests planned in the coming hours, we'll soon find out if the prospect of prison sentences makes people think again. joe pike, bbc news. after today's convictions of three

men, the judge said that genuine grief had been "hijacked" by their "callous behaviour". jonathan egan from the crown prosecution service spoke outside court. the three men sentenced today are the tip of the iceberg and just the start of what will be a very painful process for many who foolishly chose to involve themselves in violent unrest. many of those involved will be sent to prison for a long time. the disturbing images we have seen across the country, manipulated by agitators both in person and online, while local families still grieve their loved ones, is an unforgivable and selfish act that each and every person sentenced today will have to live with. violence, rioting and aggression will never be tolerated in this country, and we stand ready to use the full force of the law against any others who have been, or are considering joining these intolerable scenes. the crown prosecution�*s message is clear. whatever your motivation for targeting police,

inciting hatred, or wreaking havoc on your community, you will be swiftly punished. the prime minister has promised communities will be kept safe. sir keir starmer said he had assurances there were sufficient officers in place, should violence flare. let's speak to our political correspondent, susan hulme. hello to you. what more do we know today about — hello to you. what more do we know today about sir _ hello to you. what more do we know today about sir keir _ hello to you. what more do we know today about sir keir starmer - hello to you. what more do we know today about sir keir starmer and - hello to you. what more do we know today about sir keir starmer and the | today about sir keir starmer and the government's strategy to bring an end to this file is?— government's strategy to bring an end to this file is? yes, of course, sir keir starmer _ end to this file is? yes, of course, sir keir starmer is _ end to this file is? yes, of course, sir keir starmer is leading - end to this file is? yes, of course, sir keir starmer is leading a - end to this file is? yes, of course, sir keir starmer is leading a very l sir keir starmer is leading a very new government, they have only been in office for about a month and this is a huge early challenge for him. and he will want to show that he has got the grip and he has got the determination to deal with it properly. but of course he does actually have a bit of a legacy on this. he was the chief prosecutor in england, the dpp, back in 2011, the last time there were very widespread

riots in trouble in the streets of england. and he found that the strategy then was to very quickly get people into court and charged and sentenced for that. he has been quoted as saying that he felt that that was actually instrumental in getting the riots tend to end, so he is very much hoping that that will have an effect now and he will hope that those sentences that we saw today, quite stiff sentences of up today, quite stiff sentences of up to three years in jail, within just days of the events happening will have an impact and an impact on those reports we have been hearing is potential further unrest today. we will have to wait and see whether thatis we will have to wait and see whether that is actually worked, whether there will be any diminution of those riots and any trouble. and those riots and any trouble. and what sort of _ those riots and any trouble. and what sort of reaction has there been to all this from opposition politicians? it to all this from opposition politicians?— to all this from opposition politicians? it is interesting because normally - politicians? it is interesting because normally you - politicians? it is interesting| because normally you would politicians? it is interesting - because normally you would expect when the government faces a big challenge like that, that she would

have opposition parties lining up to offer their opinion and criticise, and we haven't heard a great deal of that at all. i think there is a sense that there is not a great deal of mileage in that four opposition parties. indeed, even the contenders for the conservative leadership have been quite muted on this and, indeed, people like dame priti patel, who is one of the contenders for that, patel, who is one of the contenders forthat, has patel, who is one of the contenders for that, has been critical of the reform uk leader, nigel farage. he has condemned the violence, but he has condemned the violence, but he has talked about underlying causes and this claim of two tier policing that has been very controversial, the idea that some protests are policed more harshly than others, something that the head of the metropolitan police has roundly rejected. dane priti patel has criticised that as well is not helpful and not right at this time. she has called for a recall of

parliament, and quite a number of mps have done that, but i suspect that the government will be quite keen not to do that, if they can help it, so that this united front can be shown, rather than having that sort of sense of dissent or a fracturing of the view of the riots. 0k, thank you very much, susan hulme in westminster. police in belfast say six people have been arrested after officers dealt with a number of race—related hate crimes and disorder in parts of the city on tuesday. the northern ireland assembly has been recalled from summer recess and will sit tomorrow to discuss the violence. we can speak npw to a belfast business owner, whose shop was set on fire during disorder in the city at the weekend. he has asked not to be named in this interview. but we do appreciate you joining us here on bbc news and thank you for your time. here on bbc news and thank you for yourtime. my here on bbc news and thank you for your time. my first question to you is, how are you? your time. my first question to you is. how are you?— is, how are you? hello, first of all, is, how are you? hello, first of all. thanks _ is, how are you? hello, first of all, thanks for— is, how are you? hello, first of all, thanks for hosting -

muslim community. we were targeted. i mean, the muslim community over there, all the irish shops, the turkish shops and everyone from the muslim community has been targeted. also, i was on my way to the shop in that time when i was attacked by six masked men. ialmost that time when i was attacked by six masked men. i almost got killed that night when i was on my way to my shop when my shop was burning down. six masked men, they were having knives in their hands and they tried to stab me. but, you know, ijust punch one of them in the face and they ran away after that, so you can imagine the situation. it they ran away after that, so you can imagine the situation.— imagine the situation. it clearly was absolutely _ imagine the situation. it clearly was absolutely horrific. - imagine the situation. it clearly was absolutely horrific. and - imagine the situation. it clearly was absolutely horrific. and i i was absolutely horrific. and i wonder, in contrast to what you have experienced or what you havejust described, have other people in the community reached out to offer you sympathy and help?—

mean, the police didn't do anything. and i'm not surprised, by the way, because back in the past a little bit, two years ago the ship shop, my shop has been burned three times at the police did not do anything... well, we can certainly ask the police service of northern ireland about that. before you go, i do want to ask you, what about the future? do you plan to reopen or is it something that you just can't even really think about at this point? well, at this point, to be honest, i am still in shock. however, the real question is, are we able to open our shop again? that is the real question, we able to open, can we do that after all that has happened, after all those attacks? who knows what is going to happen in the future? it is like, we couldn't stop them today. what is going to happen in the future? today we found them burning things, destroying. tomorrow, you don't know what is

going to happen, why? because nobody is stopping those people. thank going to happen, why? because nobody is stopping those people.— is stopping those people. thank you so much for — is stopping those people. thank you so much for talking _ is stopping those people. thank you so much for talking to _ is stopping those people. thank you so much for talking to us _ is stopping those people. thank you so much for talking to us and - is stopping those people. thank you so much for talking to us and we - so much for talking to us and we wish you well with your recovery. a shop owner from belfast whose business was attacked on tuesday and very badly damaged. we are going live to belfast now, where the northern ireland secretary, hilary benn, is speaking.— benn, is speaking. violent disorder— benn, is speaking. violent disorder that _ benn, is speaking. violent disorder that they _ benn, is speaking. violent disorder that they have - benn, is speaking. violent disorder that they have been l disorder that they have been experiencing in the last few days to hear about what happened on saturday, in particular, and also in sandy row on monday night. and we also talked to colleagues from the fire and rescue service, who have been involved obviously in trying to deal with fires as a result of what has been happening. i have to tell you, as i listened to the business owners, i was deeply shocked and i became increasingly angry. angry that people who have set up businesses, one of them took over a

vacant shop unit in sandy row some years ago to establish his business, providing jobs, a service to the community. as he described people who turned up to try to burn him out of the business that he has created. the woman who runs a restaurant... it is a greek restaurant, but she was attacked on saturday by the mob that went down botanic avenue. and what we have been witnessing is completely unacceptable. this does not represent northern ireland. it doesn't represent the great city of belfast. this is not what northern ireland wants to be known for. and it is really important that the vast majority of people who i know will be as shocked and angered and disgusted at what is happening speak up, that all of the political parties, and of course, the assembly is being recalled tomorrow, speak

with one voice in condemning what has happened because this needs to be brought to an end. and the most important contribution that members of the public can make is if you have any evidence, if you witnessed anything, if you have got any video footage, the police are very keen to catch those who have been engaging in violent disorder and criminality, but they need the evidence to pick people up and put them before the courts. and as we meet here this afternoon, across the other side of the irish sea, the first sentences are now being handed down and i do believe that when those who engage in this sort of behaviour realise there is a consequence to it... and whether you are inciting violence online or you are engaging in violence on the streets, if the evidence is there you will be found and you will be punished because this cannot continue. that is all i wanted to say. questions? first

to the us now, where kamala harris and her vice presidential

running mate, tim walz, are due in wisconsin and michigan later on their campaign trail for november's elections. they made theirfirst joint appearance at a rally in philadelphia. ms harris said she and minnesota governor tim walz were underdogs going into the election, but they were fighting for the country's future. and joining us now from roseville, michigan, we have quinn klinefelter, a senior news editor for detroit public radio. this detroit is one of seven stops chosen for harris and walz�*s first tour and an important battleground state for both parties. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. i would like you to begin by giving us an overview of how michigan fits into that race for the white house and what sort of impact the harris and trump campaigns have been making with voters there. campaigns have been making with voters there-— voters there. well, michigan is vitally important _ voters there. well, michigan is vitally important to _ voters there. well, michigan is vitally important to both - voters there. well, michigan is vitally important to both the i vitally important to both the campaigns, both the trump and the

harris campaigns. they have what they call a blue wall. blue is the colour for the democrats. they call a blue wall. blue is the colourfor the democrats. wisconsin, pennsylvania and michigan are the states where any red wave from the republicans could hit and stop opponents. therefore, any of those three states that the republicans can win basically will be able to propel them into the white house. and the democrats have to have those if they want to get to the white house. talking to people around here, there is a lot of excitement about the harris and tim walz ticket right now and they think they have a far better chance than they did just a few weeks back when president biden was still leading the ticket. lets talk more about what impact mr tim walz could make. we heard a lot yesterday after it was announced that he was kamala harris�*s running mate about his record in office, his background. 0ne mate about his record in office, his background. one of the policy areas he has talked a lot about is how he campaigns, has campaigned for workers' rights, getting people into

jobs, even if they haven't got a university degree. how is that going to go down with the people of michigan? it to go down with the people of michiaan? . to go down with the people of michigan?— to go down with the people of michiaan? . michigan? it is right in line with what the people _ michigan? it is right in line with what the people would - michigan? it is right in line with what the people would want - michigan? it is right in line with what the people would want to | michigan? it is right in line with - what the people would want to hear here. in fact, some of the democrats i talked to last night said it was the perfect ticket for michigan. it is the head of the us motor industry and there are a lot of manufacturing, a lot of the so—called working class here and walz fits right in with those types of people. he relates to them, he did very much so in minnesota. he also has something that is a bit different from what harris would have. they would paint her as being both the west coast of the us liberal and a very far progressive person, although her policies haven't always been that way. walz is very much midwestern for the us and that will equal plain—spoken and sometimes coming up to the point of three is that people who are supposedly far more erudite can come up supposedly far more erudite can come up with. for much of this time now,

the biden campaign and now the harris campaign has been trying to actually paint trump and say he is this, he is that, he is a threat to democracy, etc. the other day, walz came out and said, you know these people are weird. and that went viral on various social media. it is the exact kind of thing, when i talk to people last night, especially, a lot of democrats, they said it was a four letter word that they were using that they were not using when president biden was leading the ticket and that four letter word is hope. and they really believe that they have a lot of energy and a lot of hope now. which is vitalfor anybody�*s white house hopes. of hope now. which is vital for anybody's white house hopes. really interestin: anybody's white house hopes. really interesting to — anybody's white house hopes. really interesting to get _ anybody's white house hopes. really interesting to get your _ anybody's white house hopes. really interesting to get your views - anybody's white house hopes. really interesting to get your views today, quinn klinefelter, a senior news editorfor detroit quinn klinefelter, a senior news editor for detroit public radio, thank you. editor for detroit public radio, thank yon-— editor for detroit public radio, thank ou. ., . , ..,

officials in moscow claim around 300 ukrainian troops have crossed into the kursk region, as fighting continues in the area. according to the russian defence officials, ukrainian troops crossed into russia near the town of sudzha. president putin called it "another major provocation". russia's ministry of defence claimed it prevented the ukrainian armed forces from advancing "deep into russian territory". they released this video, claiming to show destruction of ukrainian military hardware in kursk region. however, a number of air alerts continued to be issued in kursk, where local authorities urged residents to limit their movements and all public events were cancelled. footage posted online — and verified by the bbc — showed fighterjets flying low overhead in the region on tuesday, with smoke rising from areas on the ground. ukraine hasn't commented. now for the latest from the olympics — let's cross to my colleague maryam moshiri, who's in paris. hello. thank you, indeed yes, it is

da 12 in hello. thank you, indeed yes, it is day 12 in paris. _ and after the drama of last night's 1500 metre men's final, there is plenty of action in the stade de france and beyond. the men's 5000 metre heats have been taking place — and team gb's george mill's took a tumble in his heat in a packed race, but has now been advanced to saturday's final of the men's 5000 metres after an appeal. norwegianjakob inge—brigt—sen ran in the second heat and has qualified for the final — despite a wandering cameraman finding himself on the track. more team gb skateboarding excitement as 51—year—old veteran andy macdonald performed in the men's competition, but fell short of qualifying for the final. he was the oldest competitor — and a0 years older than the youngest competitor in yesterday's women's competition. 0ne one of the most important parts of being a host nation like france and

indeed a host like paris is ensuring that when the olympics are over, a legacy remains. this is a word we hear a lot when we discussed the games. joining me now is marie barsacq, director of impact and legacy for paris 202a. thank you forjoining us, lovely to see you. we are coming down to the final days of the olympics now. it is quite sad because it has been been so amazing. how important is legacy to the host nation? for paris it has been — legacy to the host nation? for paris it has been very _ legacy to the host nation? for paris it has been very important - legacy to the host nation? for paris it has been very important since - legacy to the host nation? for paris| it has been very important since the beginning — it has been very important since the beginning. we want to organise spectacular games, but also responsible games, games that are useful_ responsible games, games that are useful for— responsible games, games that are useful for the population and games that there _ useful for the population and games that there is a positive impact for the people because that is why we launched _ the people because that is why we launched a project to that. encouraging people to be more active and specifically to use it because they arem — and specifically to use it because they are... and really concentrate a programme — they are... and really concentrate a programme for them. we had a measure which is _ programme for them. we had a measure which is 30 _ programme for them. we had a measure which is 30 minutes of daily physical— which is 30 minutes of daily physical activity at school. we

to the north of scotland. that will bring a windier day across the northern half of the country and most of the showers will be here. the fewer showers, the further south that you are. the winds are not quite as strong, as you can see, wider isobars here compared to what you can expect across the north of the uk and this is where we'll have most of the showers. but the showers will tend to fade out through this evening and overnight. we'll start to see thicker cloud piling into wales, south—west england, as the next weatherfront starts moving in here. some splashes of rain by the time it reaches dawn. but it will be importing some slightly milder air to southern areas, mid—teens in the south, 10—12 further north. that is all tied in with another area of low pressure, that front starting to push in during the course of thursday. we start bright, northern and eastern areas have some sunshine and then the clouds begin to build through the morning, spreading to all areas with outbreaks of rain. pretty widespread rain, nothing too heavy, but we could pep up across parts of north—west england and southern and western scotland, where it could be heavier later in the afternoon. and a breezy day to come for all, windierfor northern and western areas. temperature—wise we are looking at high teens in the north, low 20s in the south. because of the lack of sunshine,

it won't be quite as warm as we will have this afternoon. the rain clears out through thursday night, it leaves a legacy of cloud, just one or two showers, particularly across north—west scotland. we will start to pick up warmer air again across southern areas, so another muggy night to come across england and wales compared to what we will have across scotland and northern ireland. friday we will have west or south—westerly winds, so a bright and breezy day, plenty of sunshine around. just a few showers, north and west scotland seeing most of those, the odd one for northern ireland, perhaps for cumbria, but largely dry elsewhere and dry for eastern scotland. decent temperatures — the low to mid 20s, maybe 25 or 26 degrees across the south—east and that is a sign of things to come, for england and wales, certainly, things hotting up into the weekend. a brief, but intense plume of hot air is expected to move north out of france. that could push temperatures into the low to mid 30s across the south—east of england, but even the high 20s there for south wales.

but it will be short lived, as temperatures return to normal next week.

this is bbc news, the headlines... three men are sent to prison for their roles in the uk's week of disorder. they are the first sentences handed down after days of violent unrest.

nearly 6,000 specially—trained officers are mobilized as the bbc understands more than 100 protests across the country are planned for tonight. israel's army issues a new evacuation order for palestinians in gaza — it says it's in response to rocket fire from the area on tuesday. nobel peace prize winner muhammad yunus is returning to bangladesh to lead an interim government due to be sworn in on thursday. and we're at one of the biggest cultural celebrations on the planet, the edinburgh fringe — where we'll meet some of the acts. hello, let's cross to the sports. hello from the bbc sport centre. well of course we start at the paris 0lympics and norway's jacob ingerbritssen hasn't had long to dwell on missing out on a medal in the 1500m — he's already been back on the track in the heats of the 5000m
