catalan separatist carles puigdemont returns to barcelona despite facing an arrest warrant. the leader has been in self—imposed exile in belgium for the past seven years. president biden says he's not confident there will be a peaceful transition of power if donald trump loses november's election. three taylor swift concerts in vienna are cancelled after two men are arrested on suspicion of planning an attack. hello. more now on the anti—racism protests in cities and towns across england which have followed a week of anti—immigrant rioting. police had been prepared for further violence and thousands of officers were deployed, but there was no sign of any disorder on the scale of recent days. our correspondent, joe inwood, reports. the city had been braced for trouble. so, this part of bristol is where a couple of immigration lawyers are based, whose addresses have been leaked online. and there was a real fear there could be a far—right protest

taking place here today. but we've been here the last couple of hours, and there's not a sign of that. instead, something very different has happened. chanting thousands of anti—racism protesters, trade unionists, members of the local black and asian community, students, took over the streets in what was broadly a good natured evening, but one that sent a message. i feel ashamed for our country right now. it'sjust, we're not representing ourselves in any sense of a manner that's, like, admirable at all. you can see a lot of places are boarded up, so there's been a lot of fear about what could happen. and itjust felt really important that we were here to, yeah, protect our community. it was a picture repeated across the country. walthamstow in london saw vast crowds gathered, as in bristol, to oppose the far right. while there were colourful scenes in west london. refugees are welcome here!

in sheffield, police had prepared for trouble, but none came. in croydon, although there were a few arrests, things were generally peaceful. while a march between two mosques in accrington was greeted by people drinking at the pub. and this was the scene in newcastle. of course, protect our mosques because we believe this is our house and this is house of god. and i think for them to stand up and really want to go around and try to destroy our mosques is something really heinous. there were some isolated incidents. aldershot was seemingly one of the few places the right—wing protests materialised. in brighton, they were so outnumbered they needed police protection. nazi scum, off our streets! according to the man who used to oversee the police,

it's not only the counter—protests that kept the far right off the streets, but also swift prosecutions. the techniques and the instruments that the police have now for identifying people, even with face coverings, i won't go into detail, are very, very advanced. and also, it is an offence to have a face covering — to maintain a face covering — if ordered to take it off by a police officer. so, i think that the community has come together and i think it's an extremely positive step. back in bristol, and while there was a heavy police presence all evening, by 10pm, there had only been one arrest. so, this is castle park in bristol, and it's here on saturday that there were running battles between the far right and anti—fascist protesters. and there had been real fears that those scenes could be replicated tonight. but as you can see, nothing has materialised, and it seems across the country that

picture has been repeated. and both government, and the protesters on the street tonight, will be hoping that this could be a turning point in this disorder. joe inwood, bbc news, in bristol. we have had news coming in on the last few minutes the metropolitan police have made ten more arrests as the policing response continues to violence across the country. those arrests were relating to violent disorder in whitehall on wednesday, sist disorder in whitehall on wednesday, 31stjuly, ten more arrests in london following violent disorder in the last week or so. let's speak to lori gatsi—barnett. she's the chair of the african and caribbean support organisation in northern ireland. thank you forjoining us. some of the arrests for disorder in northern ireland earlier in the week were treated by police as racially motivated hate crimes, how are people feeling about how it has played out? i people feeling about how it has played out?—

account is language. what type of language is being used as far as describing individuals, describing what is happening around us and our understanding? because we are all in a vulnerable place and it is understandable there is a lot of people who could potentially be frustrated for many reasons, but the most important thing is language and how we are talking to each other about resolving this because ultimately those two things in that everyone's daily life, going to work right now, ourfamilies, what everyone should be doing in the summer, children of school. really important they can come up with solutions and be positive for the community across the board. and it will reinforce everyone's humanity and people being at the centre of decisions, and talking to communities, especially and crucial decision—making is to have to go forward. decision-making is to have to go forward. ~ , ., ., ~ decision-making is to have to go forward. ~ ., ~ ., , forward. when you talk to people, have peeple _ forward. when you talk to people, have people said _ forward. when you talk to people, have people said they _ forward. when you talk to people, have people said they are - forward. when you talk to people, have people said they are too - forward. when you talk to people, l have people said they are too afraid to live there any more, want to leave? what is your sense of how much an impact it has had? i think

muhammad yunus is 84, he is known for his role in equipping people with small cash sums to improve rural poverty in bangladesh. he was part of a micro—finance lender which he founded and it in many quarters was known for creating economic growth in bangladesh and it has also been copied by other developing countries, the model, in the meantime. he got the nobel peace prize in 2006 for that work. his profile in bangladesh meant that he was up against the government who were hostile to him and you will remember shay casino, prime minister of bangladesh, has left bangladesh in recent days —— sheik hasina. let

polio vaccines to gaza, which will be administered in the coming weeks. the detection of polio in waste water in gaza is a tell—tale sign that the virus has been circulating in the community, putting unvaccinated children at risk. our middle east correspondent, yolande knell, is in jerusalem with more. there has been this routine screening that has gone on because the world health organization, in particular, has been so alert to the threat here of public health disasters, with the very poor living conditions that are in gaza at the moment. and so, last month, there was this screening of the sewage water in two locations in gaza — in deir al—balah and also in khan younis, in the south — where they found traces of the polio virus in the sewage water samples that they collected. that really got alarm bells ringing. quickly, the israeli military said that it was going to start a vaccination programme for its soldiers serving in gaza,

and the world health organization began to look for ways to to bring in polio vaccines and to have this kind of mass vaccination programme. i mean, we have a situation where, with ten months of war, the regular childhood vaccination programmes have been extremely badly disrupted, and children make up nearly half of the population of gaza, so they are very vulnerable. there's been other screening that's gone on by medics, where they're trying to see if they've found any cases already of the paralysis that can come about from polio, which is usually spread through faecal matter. and at the moment we're not hearing about confirmed cases, but there is a big worry here. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

three taylor swift concerts in vienna have been cancelled due to security concerns. it comes after two men

were detained on suspicion of planning an islamist attack. the first show was due to start on thursday, with more than 65,000 expected to attend the gigs. the austrian chancellor says the situation was very serious and a tragedy had been averted. our correspondent in vienna, bethany bell, has this report # are you ready for it?# taylor swift was supposed to hold the first of three concerts in vienna tonight, as part of the eras tour. but the shows have all been cancelled after two people were arrested on suspicion of planning an attack. yesterday, austrian police arrested a 19—year—old austrian man who lived in the town of ternitz, south of vienna. they found chemical substances at his home. nearby houses had to be evacuated while the search was going on. another person was later

arrested in vienna. police say they were planning an islamist attack. translation: according to the current state - of the investigation, the suspects radicalised themselves on the internet. the 19—year—old citizen swore allegiance to the current leader of is at the beginning ofjuly. subsequently, the suspects carried out concrete preparatory acts for a terrorist attack. police say the suspects had planned to target large events in vienna, including the taylor swift concerts. investigations are continuing. the organiser, barracuda music, said it had no choice but to cancel the shows for everyone's safety. it said all tickets would be automatically refunded.

65,000 people were supposed to attend each one of these concerts. the organisers say, of course, safety has to come first, but there are a lot of disappointed fans in vienna right now. bethany bell, bbc news, vienna. let us return to bangladesh where muhammad yunus, interim leader of bangladesh, he has been talking. he says the attacks on minorities are part of a conspiracy, he also said that we have to protect our freedom. we will continue to monitor events there in bangladesh. you are watching bbc news. new research suggests the future success of a racehorse can be predicted when it is just one—month—old by looking at its gut health.

veterinary scientists at the university of surrey in england have discovered that by testing bacteria in the digestive system of very young racehorses, they can see how well they are likely to perform on the track. our science correspondent victoria gill explains. atjust a few months old, these thoroughbred foals are neverfarfrom mum, although they're very curious about the world. and at this stables in surrey, young racehorses have been involved in a scientific study that's revealed clues about whether they'll be a future winner. this little nibbly one is just four months old, but she's basically an athlete in training. and what this research has shown is that even at one month old, her future success can actually be seen inside her body, in her gut. the scientists just need a small sample from the stable. it's as simple as that. all we need for the tests that we're going to do are a faecal sample from the foal. in this container are all the microbes or bacteria that live in a young racehorse's gut. the researchers used a dna test to reveal all the different kinds of bacteria.

they regularly took and tested faecal samples from 52 horses over the first three years of the animals' lives. the diversity of gut bacteria in foals at four weeks old, so really young, that predicts their future health and theirfuture racing performance. so, the more different types of bacteria in the foal�*s gut, the healthier... correct. ..the more successful? correct, yes. what does this show us about how important the gut is forjust overall physical health? absolutely critical. there is a growing understanding that what happens in human guts, in animal guts, in horses, has a profound influence on many aspects of health and disease. researchers are now investigating which helpful bacteria they could give to very young foals as an early boost for their future health.

we're always looking to find out ways in which we can produce as healthy a horse as possible, and one that's going to perform well on the track. so, anything that we can investigate further into how we can get them to be in the best shape they can be is a really good opportunity for us. the research shows that, like so many animals, these elite athletes of the equine world are driven by the trillions of bacteria that live inside their bodies. victoria gill, bbc news. you might remember the willy wonka—themed experience in glasgow which went viral earlier this year. the event was promoted as a family day out, but customers were disappointed to find a sparsely decorated warehouse. well, now there's a musical based on it, which is being performed at this year's edinburgh fringe. david sillito has been behind the scenes to meet the team involved. edinburgh, and welcome to the fringe. my show, attention seeker,

is a character comedy sketch show. biscuit barrel — not another 69 sketch show. my show is called little beasts. and this is willy wonka and the doctor factory. there's also a wonka magic show and two wonka musicals. there's a lot of willy wonka here. i think it's sort of a glasgow situation. have you heard about that? glasgow. you may remember it. the gloriously disappointing wonka chocolate experience. the images went round the world, especially this one of a very sad oompa loompa, which inspired an american producer, richard kraft. so, what is this show you're doing? ok, so what it is, myself and the entire universe saw an image on social media of a really sad looking oompa loompa. the sad oompa loompa, in a way, became a symbol around the world of "what the hell happened to my life?" and so since i kept asking the question, "what's going on in that girl's head?"

i thought, there's only one way to answer what's going on in someone's head. it's a musical. a musical, of course! what else would it be? a musical! are you mad? i'm worried for you. willy's grand opening! but he's done it. and the star of the show... ..yes, it's the sad oompa loompa herself, kirsty paterson. it was a disaster. it's as bad as what they say it was, how it ended. - but i was the last one standing, giving out the jelly beans. - and the exact time when they took the picture, to be fair, _ was when i was seriously- contemplating my life, being like, "maybe i should just gol and do something else." number one tourist attraction in glasgow! it feels like a dream come true. i mean, i don't think. a lot of people can say they have a musical| written about them. veruca has haunted me, in a good way. you know, i wasn't quite the sad oompa loompa meme, but i have been a meme for many, many women.

i want it now! so, how many days rehearsal have you had? so far, one. one? one. but back to the star of the moment, kirsty. and a little oompa loompa masterclass. could you do meme oompa loompa for me? of course i can. i've practised it many, many times. so, you need your hips hip—width apart, nice l and sturdy on the ground. look into the bottom left top corner and you're just going to do... - david sillito, bbc news, edinburgh. now it's time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. some of us started the day with some sunshine but a weather front coming in from the west will introduce more cloud and some rain and it will remain fairly murky for much of the day and western areas. heavy rain moving across northern ireland, northern england, eventually southern and central scotland. as we go through the day, rain will push east. after the
