dominic casciani reports from leeds crown court. this is jordan parlour, this isjordan parlour, a knock at the door from police and an arrest for his words rather than his actions during last week's disorder. at the weekend, he sat at home watching what was going on. leeds crown court heard he was angry about immigration and a local hotel housing asylum seekers. it had already been pelted with stones as disorder spread to leeds. pilot then posted to his 1500 facebook followers encouraging them to do it again. every man and their dog should smashing a tiny hotel, he said. asylum seekers there were living the life of riley, he claimed. staff initiated a lockdown on the premises and police had to patrol it. jailing parlour, the judge said he had been motivated by his anger over immigration. although ou said his anger over immigration. although you said that — his anger over immigration. although you said that you _ his anger over immigration. although you said that you had _ his anger over immigration. although you said that you had no _ you said that you had no intention of carrying out acts of violence,

there can be no doubt that you were inciting others to do so. 0therwise, why post the comment? inciting others to do so. otherwise, why post the comment?— inciting others to do so. otherwise, why post the comment? parlour's post terrified people — why post the comment? parlour's post terrified people at _ why post the comment? parlour's post terrified people at this _ why post the comment? parlour's post terrified people at this hotel. - terrified people at this hotel. a man sitting at home triggered an emergency of real—world consequences. the government hopes the sentence sends a message to keyboard agitators. ministers are also under pressure to do with a social media companies if they won't take this type of content down. the disorder that spread from southport began with lies online. the new online safety act imposes fines for social media companies if they fail to remove illegal content. but they are not yet in force and critics say they are too weak anyway. today, the prime minister signalled that the government may take further action. 0ut this is not a law free zone. i do agree that we will have to look more broadly at social media after this disorder but the focus at the moment has to be on dealing with the

disorder and making sure that our communities are safe and secure. 26—year—old tyler kay was the second man to be jailed today for online hate, receiving 38 months calling for attacks on asylum seeker hotels. 0therjailing is today include these men, they were part of a counter protest in leeds against far right activists. they punched a group of white men, saying they had been provoked by anti—muslim insults. the judge said that was no excuse and gave them both 18 months. arrests and charges are still continuing, including this former labour councillor rickyjones, accused of encouraging to act violently towards protesters. the response towards the disorder of last week has onlyjust begun. and we can talk to dominic now. so we've had the first sentences for people for online offences and police say there are more arrests to come?

that's right, jane. last week we had a torrent of abuse and violence on the streets. we have now got a torrent of criminal justice outcomes. i literally can't keep up with the information overload from the last 12 hours or so. convictions today in peterlee, manchester, brighton, preston, kidderminster, newcastle, where a young man was caught by his own instagram account filming himself at a riot. a man jailed in london in relation to attacking a police officer. these arrests are going to keep coming. 600 so far, 150 charged, 118 of them are in custody. those numbers will rise in the coming days. the message from government is quite clear that where these people have gone to prison already, others are going to be following. but while that is going on, going into the weekend, i don't think there is going to be any letup in the pressure from the police. they want to keep everyone on a high state of alert because they don't want a repeat of the violence that has been seen leading up violence that has been seen leading up to today, so they are going to be

on the streets sending that message and hoping it is going to be a quite weekend before the courts start going again after the weekend. thank ou, going again after the weekend. thank you. dominic — ukraine says it's made advances inside russia and hit a military airfield. ukrianian forces could be as far as 20 miles into the kursk region, according to the us—based institute for the study of war. in russia, the security council has been meeting and state media is reporting that moscow is sending extra military hardware to the area. fighting is thought to be concentrated near the town of sudzha. moscow says up to 1,000 ukrainian troops are involved, in a region which contains a nuclear plant. these dashcam pictures being shared on social media, which the bbc has verified, show abandoned russian troop carriers in the kursk region. the person who uploaded them has since been arrested. here's our russia editor steve rosenberg. it is an astonishing sight.

russian jets scrambling to bomb russian territory. they are targeting ukrainian troops, who've attacked in large numbers across the border. it came out of nowhere. the ukrainian assaults on russia's kursk region began on tuesday and suddenly russia's war had come much closer to home. this drone footage from a ukrainian military unit is purported to show russian soldiers surrendering. several villages have been seized. in the border town of sudzha residents recorded this video appeal to vladimir putin, calling on the kremlin calling on the kremlin leader for help. the chief of the general staff told you that everything is under control, this man said. but there are big battles going on around here. president putin met his security chiefs to discuss the battle against terrorism.

he has called the ukrainian attack a provocation but not an invasion, perhaps to downplay it. the kremlin trying to keep calm and carry on. for the last two and a half years the message from the kremlin has been that the special military operation, russia's war in ukraine, has been going according to plan. this week's extraordinary events in southern russia suggest otherwise. even one of russia's most pro—kremlin newspapers admitted today that the ukrainian assault represented a strong move by president zelensky and that it was having painful consequences for russia. it is unclear how many ukrainian soldiers attacked and how they got through. so what happened, like what, there was no border patrol? how could these thousands, obviously thousands of troops, could get through? and so questions will be asked. but we also know that putin is very good at deflating attention

from his mistakes or russia's mistakes into something else. and that is what i am going to see, i think we are going to see in the near future. now russia is bringing in reinforcements to the kursk region. russian military chiefs have promised their president that they will restore control. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. meanwhile, inside ukraine, emergency services say a russian missile strike on a supermarket in a town in the eastern donetsk region has killed 1a people and wounded at least a0. james waterhouse reports from kyiv. in this part of ukraine, russia is advancing and with every mile they do, the more common strikes like this become. once again, a missile hits a hub of civilisation, a supermarket where people were doing a daily or weekly shop.

"we're still searching the area," says pavlo, a police officer. "we're trying to find out if anyone else could still be under the rubble. anyone." translation: russia always knows i where it hits with its missiles. i and this is deliberate and targeted russian terror. scenes like this have been replicated before, but in times of a full scale invasion, it's not clear whether this is a response to ukraine's cross—border assault. here, it's hoped a counteroffensive like no other might bring respite. but optimism is hard to come by when this is a reality. james waterhouse, bbc news, kyiv. this invasion has gruelling familiarity is the millions of ukrainians. russian advances, continual air strikes and ukrainians being forced backwards. but this extraordinary inversion. this counteroffensive, which has been the

most significant i think since the full scale invasion. and that includes the seismic counteroffensive is of 2022 when a swathes of territory was liberated. we are talking about an operation which has changed the feel of this war, that this week at least. which leaves us with the question of where next. what could this turn into for ukraine because the stakes have never been higher stopjames waterhouse, thank you. the former bbc news presenter huw edwards has been asked by the corporation to return more than £200,000 he was paid in salary after his arrest in november. he pleaded guilty last month to making indecent images of children, having resigned from hisjob in april. in an email sent today to all bbc staff, the chair samir shah said huw edwards had behaved in bad faith, taking licence fee money when he knew what he had done. 0ur media correspondent david sillito is here, and there's to be an independent review.

well, when huw edwards pleaded guilty to charges related to child abuse, child sexual abuse images at the end ofjuly it did raise a question for the bbc. because this was the first time we had seen him in public sincejuly of last year. he had been suspended by the bbc on full pay until april of this year when he left the corporation. why did they continue to pay him? today was the response of the people who oversee the bbc, the bbc board and shamir sarr, who said let me be clear the billing of this piece is huw edwards, the victims of the children whose degradation... he went on to say that while he felt the decision by the director—general to carry on paying him until april was a considered a reasonable response given that the assumption that huw edwards may may have been innocent. he said the fact that he went on to plead guilty changed everything. he said mr edwards behaved in bad faith. throughout this time mr edwards knew what he

had done but he still took licence fee money to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds. he went on to say the board fully support the decision of the executive, who have written to mr edwards to return the money. how much would that be? huw edwards was paid more than £475,000 a year. the bbc is looking to claw back more than 200. but remember this is essentially a moral plea to huw edwards to hand the money back, it is not a legal process. if he decides not to, it is entirely uncertain what would then happen. briefly, we are hearing there is going to be an independent internal review as well was yellow shamir sharp says there is a continuing problem at the bbc about workplace culture. the bbc is going to lead an independent review led by an independent review led by an independent figure that looks at how it deals with bad or inappropriate behaviour by those in a position of power. david sillito, thank you. the former model katie price has appeared in court in london after being arrested at heathrow airport,

for failing to appear at bankruptcy proceedings. she was warned by the judge today that she must attend another hearing later this month, �*with no ifs or buts, no going abroad' and no holidays. 0ur correspondent frances read was in court. katie price silent as she entered court... ..after being arrested at heathrow airport for not showing up to a hearing relating to her bankruptcy. instead, she was on a flight where she had posted a picture of a crisp sandwich on social media, with it widely reported she was travelling to turkey. appearing from the royal courts ofjustice, katie price sat crouched on a chair with her knees up to her chest. she was wearing a black head bandage and often appeared to have her head in her hands. at the very start of the hearing, she said she couldn't see very much and couldn't hear properly. judge daniel schaffer told her if she did not attend court when asked or provide necessary documentation, she could be brought back into custody again,

saying, "no ifs, no buts, no holidays, no going abroad." katie price then asked the judge if she could appear in court via zoom, to which the judge explained to her she could not. katie price has been declared bankrupt twice and there have been other legal issues. she's previously talked about struggling with her mental health, reportedly saying she didn't care if she went to jail. that could have come very close this afternoon. although she was released with her next hearing due later this month. frances read, bbc news. the family of a retired british doctor have issued an urgent appeal after he went missing while hiking in the french pyrenees. tom doherty sent emergency messages to family members on tuesday, saying he'd fallen and couldn't move. a major search is underway. chris bockmanjoins me from south west france. what more do we know, chris? indeed

to look for him quickly, he is not well—equipped, we don't know how much food he has, the situation is not great. thank you. the time is 18.17. our top story this afternoon. 28—year—old jordan parlour is the first person to be sentenced for stirring up racial hatred on social media during the recent violence. and we'll hear why celebrities and authors are rallying round this library in liverpool which was severely damaged recent riots. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news — as the search for a full—time manager goes on, lee carsley stepped up from the young lions to take the interim head coach job with england.

on the track in the next hour — to see whether britain's katarina johnson—thompson can win her first olympic medal in the heptathlon. but let's start with the climbing, because it was a winning day for british climber toby roberts — he looked shocked when he went high on the lead section. that

...we we willtake we will take a look at another of the more recent additions to the olympic games. it is breaking. what was born in the bronx in the �*70s has now gone mainstream. it is a surreal experience, and it is something that our athletes are going to cherish and lead into the next generation so it a testament of what hip—hop and break culture can overcome to be on the pinnacle of olympic sport. the b girls and b boys as they are known compete in one—on—one battles to impress thejudges. some of the most acrobatic elements are called power moves, and then there are freezes. wow.

so over there is where the power lies at this competition. they begin their battles so they are at the mercy of the djs. it is just about being, you know, cultural backbone for us. they will do the big fireworks in terms of the visual movement but i am there to make sure all of the pieces of the puzzle come together. the purists will take some convincing that breaking, a dance form reimagined, belongs at the games, but the ioc hope it will attract younger audiences. that breaking won't be at the los angeles olympics in four years is a sore spot. these pioneers want to show them what they are missing. katie gornall, bbc news, paris. in a matter of minutes, we have hopes of medals in both the men's and women's 100m relays. natalie pirks is at the athletics stadium. britain's women in particular have looked in great form, they are the european champions and have bronze medals

at the last two 0lympics. the men say that have unfinished business after they were stripped of olympic silver in tokyo after a 0lympic silver in tokyo after a failed test for a bands substance unknowingly. substance unknowingly. katarina johnson—thompson is going to need the race of her life to win gold in the heptathlon tonight. she was leading after five events but when her rival nafi thiam threw herjavelin more than nine metres further than her earlier. it left her 121 points behind the belgian olympic champion. it means the briton will need to run the final event, the 800 metres, more than eight seconds faster than her rival. a tall order, but you can watch the drama unfold in an hour's time. let us look at the medals table. that gold medal in climbing and silver in the velodrome has kept britain and northern ireland in fifth. two medals at this stage

behind hosts france, so everything still to play for. natalie, thank you. in a very noisy stade de france. in a very noisy stade de france. the football association has named lee carsley as england's interim managerfor the start of the nations league campaign in september. he's stepping up from his role in charge of england's under—21s to replace gareth southgate. the fa expects carsley to be in the job throughout the autumn, while the recruitment process continues for a new permanent head coach. somerset council is cutting a quarter of its workforce, and selling assets like offices and historic buildings, to try to make ends meet. we've been following the council since it declared a financial emergency last year. injanuary it faced a £100 million hole in its finances, but avoided bankruptcy by reducing services. now as it looks ahead it faces a similar challenge, but with much less left to cut. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth has been allowed in to film with the council, and has been speaking to local people affected by the cuts.

it has been a summer of sport at this recreation centre at yeovil. good. but back injanuary, i was here when people feared these facilities would close because somerset council couldn't afford them. there was a campaign. and now, the future looks secure. the local town council has taken the site on, to the relief of many, like rosie. it's like everyone can keep using it, and it will bejust be another space that everyone can like come to and enjoy their time here. by handing over facilities like this to others, to keep them going, and by cutting back on services, somerset council has managed to avoid going bankrupt, but they are already looking ahead to next year, and they say the financial picture looks bleak. i have come to somerset council's offices because they are having a meeting, and among the things they are talking about is how

they will save money. they have agreed to let us in to film, so i am just going to go through. they are selling off council assets, things like land, offices and historic buildings. some individuals might find it quite sad and heartbreaking, but i think that is the inevitability as we lame down the council too. they are also looking at saving millions from the council's wage bill. around 1,000 posts are set to go. that is a quarter of the workforce. we don't need as many desks in offices. the empty desks are a visible symbol of the measures they are having to take. what a lot of people say is councils are wasteful. you can cut back without cutting our services. we are doing everything we can to make this, this council as efficient and productive as possible. the simple fact is a lot of councils are going to run out of money, because the demand for our services and the price of providing those services is far greater than our income. the financial strain isn't specific to somerset. the government says it will work with councils to get local government back on its feet,

promising more stability when it comes to funding. but for now, in many places, its local communities having to step up. philip runs a social enterprise clearing gardens for those struggling. giving people their gardens we are helping people feel less lonely. but says public sector funding is increasingly hard to come by. because of austerity, because of lack of funding, and the cuts that are having to be made, right across the public sector, there aren't the budgets there to support the work we are doing. a quick fix is unlikely, particularly given government warnings about the pressure on public finances, but many councils say there is a limit to how long they can keep cutting back, just to keep going. alex forsyth, bbc news, somerset. people who live near a library that was set on fire

during the riots in liverpool at the weekend are still struggling to understand what happened. the spellow hub library in walton served one of the most deprived communities in the country. now, more than £230,000 has been raised to rebuild it, as phil mccann reports. this was the moment rioters tried to destroy the hub of this community. i seen it online, i seen flames, and the inside of our amazing building, so i was just devastated. and this is the spellow hub today. normally you would come here to borrow a book, get help from the council, go tojob workshops, and there were classes like, these, for children. they have had to move down the road. such a loss. kelly runs the classes. it is their sense of community, it is somewhere they can come and belong and just be children. we haven't got that much money in this community, so everything that we have we look after, so to see this is really shocking. the damage here might look devastating, but it is much less severe in the rest of this facility. there is still, as you can smell, a lot of smoke damage though

and so it might take quite some time to get this place back on line for this community. two online fundraising campaigns will help. together they have raised nearly quarter of a million, and they have had donations from authors like nigella lawson, matt haig and the children's laureate frank cottrell—boyce. liam, who is a local school liberian, started one of them. i have been blown away by the response. i initially set a target for £500, aimed specifically at family and friends. donations have come from around the world, but also from this community, in the streets around everton's goodison park. i think thatjust shows how close the community are in liverpool. when it actually matters, they are there for one another. thank you to everyone who has raised any money for it, and i hope it's put to good use and we get a bullet—proof library that no—one can get into. the council here says the support is appreciated and humbling. phil mccann, bbc news, liverpool. time for a look at the weather.

here's louise lear. i want to manage your expectations, for the start of the weekend because there will be some cloud round and some light patchy rain, from this weather front that is moving in from the south—west. plenty of isobars further north, that will drive in a rash of showers across scotland, west to east, so the best of the sunshine perhaps through the borders and across the east of the pennines but it will continue to be cloudy, with light patchy rain, poor visibility through the irish sea as well, but that said, still pleasantly warm, temperatures round 24 degrees in the south—east, 19—2 further north but it is sunday with where we will start to see the change and they weather front easesy and this area of low pressure will don't drift north, that is going to allow a southerly wind tapping into very hot air across the mediterranean at the moment, and increasing humidity so after a cloudy start, plenty of sunshine, making its way across the country,

just bear in mind that frontal system into the far north—west but look at the temperatures, highs of 23 in scotland, high 20s likely across the south—east and it will get hotter still as we move into monday because of the heat coming up from the near continent. we could have record—breaking august heat in bordeaux if we see over 41 celsius, we are going to see 33 degrees across the south—east and there is going to be a lot of rain developing into the far north—west from that area of low pressure, so thundery downpours here, and a fresher feel that the heat and hue hidty continuing to build across the south—east, peaking at 33 degrees, if that is too hot for you things will change, you will be a bit more comfortable from tuesday on wards. back to you jane. thanks louise. and that's bbc news at six.
