nobel laureate mohammed yunus is sworn in to lead the new caretaker government in bangladesh following weeks of deadly protests. and three taylor swift concerts in vienna are cancelled after two men are arrested on suspicion of planning an attack. unverified today we have been looking at the situation and the russian border reading jen with thousands had been evacuated following a rare raid by ukraine. i following a rare raid by ukraine. i maryam moshiri live in paris with 13 of the olympics will do plenty more sports to come, plenty more metals up sports to come, plenty more metals up for grabs, sports to come, plenty more metals upfor grabs, i sports to come, plenty more metals up for grabs, i will have the very latest.

police say they have held a man in his 50s. the video purports to show mrjones a far right demonstrators need to have their throats cut. metropolitan police officers are investigating as aof a of urgency. sir keir starmer will chair his third emergency meeting in a week, later today in the wake of unrest in england and northern ireland. the national police chiefs�* council says the number of arrests has risen to a83 with 149 charged. last night, there had been fears of further disorder but instead mostly peaceful anti—racism gatherings took place across england. two brothers who looted a library in rioting in liverpool last week have been sent to jail. with all the latest our correspondent simonjones reports. they said they were determined to reclaim the streets peacefully.

this was walthamstow in east london last night filled with antiracism protesters. where anti—immigration demonstrators did show up, like in brighton, they were generally far outnumbered by those with opposing views. to see so many thousands of people turn up for peace, solidarity, to say that we are united, we stand as one and we will not accept hatred and division, in our community, it was just fantastic. refugees are welcome here. feeling shared in west london, in accrington, a march organised by two mosques, it received a warm welcome from people at the local pub. in liverpool, the rioting scene last week was replaced by a message of hope. just trying to do my duty and help keep people safe, feel safe in the local community. i believe that turnout has been great and i feel we have done a good job so far. the police had warned there could be 100 far right protests but in the end

there were only a handful. in aldershot, officers moved in to keep protesters and counter protesters apart. police say overall there were few serious incidents. a massive police operation, i'm really pleased with how it went. we put thousands of officers on the street and a show of force from the police and, frankly, the show of unity from communities together defeated the challenges we have seen. the police say they are still going after those who have been involved in rioting in the past week. dawn raids in london saw more arrests, the met chief describe the rioters as thugs, not patriots. he said 70% have previous convictions for possessing weapons, violence and drug offences. the prime minister on a visit to a mosque in the west midlands said he is back in the police operation. it is important we do not let up and that is why later on today

i will have another cobra meeting with law enforcement, senior police officers, to make sure we reflect on last night but also plan for the coming days. the group stand up to racism estimates 25,000 people took to the streets to make a stand, the question now is at a turning point? with long prison sentences being handed out for rioting, the police and politicians are hoping stability has been restored, although concerns remain about the possibility of more far right protests this weekend. simon jones, bbc news. here is the uk home secretary yvette cooper on last night's policing operation across great britain. and we've had a really strong policing response and also right across the criminaljustice system with we said from the start that criminals and thugs would pay the price for the kind of violence and disorder that we have seen on the streets.

and that's exactly what's been happening with the arrests, the prosecutions, convictions and sentencing taking place already and the thousands of additional officers on the police. so i really want to thank all of those officers and thank everyone who's been working on this, but i think it is having an impact. do you think that might be it now, or do you think that's going to be the end of the violence? we're clear that we're not going to take our foot off the pedal on this. the police, the criminaljustice system all has our strong support from across the government to keep going, to keep making sure that criminals pay the price for the kind of violent disorder, the thuggery, the extremism, the way we have seen this intimidation in communities. we will not stand for this violence. the police have made that clear. the courts are making that clear. and it's really important that people can feel safe on the streets. so do you think you're going to go on having this standing army, then,

of 6000 public order officers ready for the at least until after the weekend? well, we're going to continue with this strong policing response, making sure that there are additional police officers ready to respond and also making sure we continue with the prosecutions, with the taking the cases rapidly to court and getting sentences. and we've seen the prison sentences that are following as we speak. there are officers scouring some of the videos, the social media, making sure as well they're pursuing consequences for people online who have been organising this violence, as well as people offline, people who have actually been on the streets demonstrating this thuggery. there will be consequences. we said that we've made that clear and we're seeing that happening now. how significant do you think the use of the sort of developing facial recognition technologies is going to be in, in identifying further violent perpetrators? well, i've been talking to some

of the officers who've been responding to identify those who were responsible, and often they're identifying using them as the facial recognition technology. they're identifying that people have got previous criminal records. you've got prior long standing criminals who have then been involved in some of this violence and disorder. it's really important that we support the police, work with the police to make sure that they can bring criminals tojustice. 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, alicia mccarthy. let's just speak about the statement that's been put out by labour in the last half—hour about their counsellor rickyjones who has been arrested on suspicion of encouraging murder after comments at a counter protest in london last night. can you tell us a bit more about that?

we heard this morning that labour had suspended a counsellor, ricky jones after a video appeared of a man addressing a crowd and saying that far right demonstrators should have their throats cut. later in the day we got a statement from the police saying that a man and his 50 had been arrested and he was being held on suspicion of encouraging murder and an offence under the public order act. that's what we know about that for the in terms of the mood at west minister, they were huge fears yesterday about these protesters that they thought were going to take place.— protesters that they thought were going to take place. there must be relieved that _ going to take place. there must be relieved that things _ going to take place. there must be relieved that things didn't - going to take place. there must be relieved that things didn't flare - going to take place. there must be relieved that things didn't flare up| relieved that things didn't flare up like they were fearing. they are being very cautious and warning that there could be more to come, aren't they? i there could be more to come, aren't the ? ~ . , there could be more to come, aren't the ? ~ ., , ., ., they? i think that is a fair assessment. _ they? i think that is a fair assessment. we - they? i think that is a fair assessment. we heard i they? i think that is a fair- assessment. we heard earlier they? i think that is a fair— assessment. we heard earlier today from keir starmer and he was asked about why do you think it was that there wasn't widespread trouble last night? he said well, that's because

we have police where we needed police to be and also because we'd started to see criminaljustice in action, quickly as far as he's concerned, getting people into the courts, getting them charged for that and one or two cases already having jail sentences handing out he thought that at all helped. he did stress that there wasn't anything being taken for granted. that's why there's going to be another cobra meeting this emergency committee and that's going to involve sir keir starmer, police officers, law enforcement officers and they are going to have a meeting this evening and they are going to look ahead at and they are going to look ahead at a what might need to be done tonight and over the coming days and looking towards the weekend. massif; and over the coming days and looking towards the weekend. alysia mccarthy and west minister. _ in the last hour nobel laureate muhammad yunus has been sworn in as bangladesh's interim leader. the decision to name him as chief adviser of the interim government followed a meeting between president mohammed shahabuddin —

seen here swearing him in — military chiefs, and student leaders. the students had been clear they would not accept a military—led government, but wanted professor yunus to lead. today he emphasised the need for "discipline" as bangladesh begins to rebuild. joining me in the studio is our south asia regional editor, anbarasan ethirajan. he needs to deal with it quickly, law and orderfirst he needs to deal with it quickly, law and order first and foremost. there is hardly any time for a purpose, he should start running after hitting the ground. first and foremost is to restore law and order, instill confidence among people, even as we speak there have been reports of looting and people attacking each other. hundreds of people have been killed in the last few weeks. bring the communities together, there is a very sharp fault line in bangladesh that has already been widened because of the

political clash. you have the former prime minister and the bangladesh nationalist party and other islamist parties. it is going to be a big task to provide stability. the olice task to provide stability. the police have _ task to provide stability. the police have not _ task to provide stability. the police have not be _ task to provide stability. the police have not be seen for days, it's been the students that have been trying to uphold the law. then there is the issue of the army having been supported to shake previously. the having been supported to shake previously-— previously. the army chief was related to _ previously. the army chief was related to him _ previously. the army chief was related to him by _ previously. the army chief was related to him by marriage. i previously. the army chief was | related to him by marriage. but previously. the army chief was - related to him by marriage. but then he had to take the decision of not shooting at civilians during the protest. as you say, a week is quite a long time in politics but in the last week he was on top of the government, very powerful after the army pulled out, after you eat the army pulled out, after you eat the army categorically said on sunday night, monday morning they cannot shoot at protesters filled then she realised she had no other choice than to leave. in the ensuing violence many police stations were

attacked because police officers were accused of shooting protesters and in the weeks of violet more than for hundred people are killed. many shot by police. people are taking revenge on police force. that's why many police stations were set alight they fled the whole place. in different parts of bangladesh. there is a complete vacuum in terms of security. dd police in any society to maintain law and order. that is the big reason why muhammad yunus said law and order is a first priority. said law and order is a first riori . �* , ., said law and order is a first riori . �*, ., ., ., priority. then he's got to deal with the economy. _ priority. then he's got to deal with the economy, not _ priority. then he's got to deal with the economy, not the _ priority. then he's got to deal with the economy, not the whole - priority. then he's got to deal with - the economy, not the whole category. thank you very much. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

authorities in austria have arrested a man suspected of planning a suicide attack at taylor swift's concert in vienna. officials say the teen —

who had previously pledged allegiance to the islamic state group confessed that he "intended to carry out an attack using explosives and knives". authorities released this image of the alleged suspect, an austrian citizen, with north macedonian parents, but did not name him. local media have also reported that the 19—year—old, the main suspect out of three, had stolen chemicals from his former workplace. swift's vienna concerts were part of the european leg of her eras tour, which began in paris in may. earlier, the interior minister of austria, gerhard karner, hanna ward, is a bbcjournalist and taylor swift fan who had tickets and was disappointed not to see her perform. really devastated. we planned it for over a year ago. you know, we had had the tickets booked, booked the hotel, booked the flights and to find out at 930 last night that it had been cancelled, it really was devastating. we've had the hotels booked, had the flight booked, couldn't get a refund on either of those. obviously we're going to get a refund for the ticket.

but yeah, we thought let's make the weekend of it and explore vienna. so yes, we came and it's so sunny. and the environment, the atmosphere, it's amazing. there's so many taylor swift fans just lining the streets. a state of emergency has been declared in the kursk region of russia as a rare cross—border attack by ukrainian troops continued on wednesday. bbc verify�*s olga robinson has been looking into what we know about the attack so far. this is what the town on the western border of ukraine looks like on wednesday morning. you can see a local resident here looking at damaged buildings in the area. here is another video by a russian priest in suja. it was widely circulated on wednesday afternoon. he says here that the town had been shelled for 1h hours straight. russian officials say at least five people had been held and thousands have been evacuated from the region

like the people in this image that was posted by the region governor. suja is located in the kursk region. there has been intense fighting here since tuesday morning when ukraine launched the rare incursion into russia. kursk region is not new to the scene of war. they are having regular drone attacks here and reports of shelling in the months. earlier this week this video emerged on social media on tuesday afternoon. it shows a man watching as fighter jets fly over his head. russia says up to 1000 troops to cross into the territory and were supported by 11 tanks. however, we can't verify these claims. this is a map of the think tank from the study of war. it now estimates that ukrainian forces have since made advances

up to ten kilometres into the kursk region. russian sources report that fighting has been going on in a number of villages in this region but it has been hard to assess the extent of it. not much is footage circulated online. one video we managed to geolocate to the northern edge of the town of suja is... the shape of turrets here, suggests that br russian tanks. the video was initially posted by a russian wall blogger as evidence of ukrainian losses until his readers pointed out the mistake. we have also verified this video, which emerged on wednesday, and it shows men with their hands raised and one with a white flag at the suja border crossing. russian defence ministry says that fighting continues and that since the start of the incursion ukraine has lost over 600 troops

and more than 80 armoured vehicles. we have been unable to verify this. so far the ukrainian authorities have said that they are the result of russia's own aggression. this is not the first incursion to russia's territory from ukraine. but this one shows much larger in scale than what we have seen before. time to check in on everything that's been going on at the olympics. my colleague maryam moshiri is in paris. busy today, isn't it? here we're on day 13 of the olympics, just three days left of competition. there's a huge amount going on today, but the latest medal lines are huge excitement in the women's and men's canoe sprint final, with new zealand taking the gold and germany taking silver. but germany did manage to clinch the gold in the men's canoe sprint final. and indonesia got their first gold medal of the games today, in the men's speed climbing final. that adds to their existing bronze medal. at the grand palais,

team gb�*s bradley sinden loses his taekwondo semifinal tojordan, so will now fight for bronze. but there was heartbreak for gb�*s jadejones as she lost in the first round, for the second olympics in a row. jones may still be given a chance at the bronze medal through the repechage. and it's a 13th gold of the olympics for great britain and northern ireland, as ellie aldridge win's the women's kite final sailing down in marseille. fantastic news for team gb. weightlifting made an since 1896 of “p weightlifting made an since 1896 of up it wasn't until sydney 2000 that women were allowed to compete for the disturb we can export is still going from strength to strength. i wednesday she defended her olympic title with a new olympic record. it's one of five different weight classes that female weightlifters can now compete in. i'm very pleased to say we're joined by someone who is at the forefront of that sport when it reaches that olympic level. not only that the top of the

so these weather fronts have been crossing the country, bringing the cloud, the rain, lots of isobars on the charts indicating the strong winds. the rain will peter out overnight. we could see a few showers still affecting western areas. there could be some mist and murk across central and southern parts. it will be a very warm and muggy night, 15 to 18 degrees, low teens further north. but as this weather front clears through, then it'll introduce some slightly fresher air. friday, a run of westerly winds fairly strong at times and just one or two showers, but much brighter than today, with plenty of sunshine around many areas staying dry altogether. most of the showers will be across scotland, northern ireland, up to northwest england. and the winds a feature again — it will be quite blustery, but at least you have the sunshine to compensate, so with more sunshine around it should feel warmer, up to 25 degrees in the south east, 18 to 20 celsius there across scotland and northern ireland. as we head through friday night, it's a fine end to the day, a few showers continuing across scotland, and then we'll see these weather fronts bring thicker cloud outbreaks of rain to parts of england and wales, particularly wales and southwest england. temperature—wise again,

quite mild, 10 to 15 degrees. as we head into the weekend, we are tapping into some very hot and humid airfrom france, but this will mainly be across england and wales, with the extreme heat confined towards the southeast. so saturday is looking like this, bright across northern areas with some sunshine, a few showers across scotland. early cloud few showers across england and wales will melt away into the afternoon. we should see increasing sunshine. temperatures will be up to around 25 or 26 degrees, low 20s further north. through sunday and into monday, we draw this hot and humid air across england and wales. like i mentioned, the highest temperatures will be across the south east corner. so sunday we actually see this area of low pressure bring some cloud, stronger winds and outbreaks of rain to northern ireland and western scotland, some of it heavy. but elsewhere, the sunshine will increase and we'll start to tap into that hot air. the mid to high 20s across england and wales, up to around 30 or so in the south east. monday, i think, is the peak of the heat, could be in the low 30s across the far south east,

but then the temperatures return back to normal for all areas and it will become unsettled.
