southern american city. an explosion of violence sparked after a planned protest from white nationalists. the so—called alt—right, including figures from the clue klux klan, and saluting neo—nazi supervisors. the day started in a tense stand—off as the group was surrounded by antiracism activists. it then erupted into taunting, shoving and outright brawl in. -- brawling. the rally was cancelled before it even began. as the turmoil subsided, police took back the streets. the crowd dispersed, then this. a car at speed ploughs through protesters. one person has died and at least six others are thought to have been injured. a state of emergency has now been declared in charlottesville. many fear what's

known as the alt—right have become emboldened by donald trump's assent to the white house. today the us president said the violence was not just one—sided. president said the violence was not just one-sided. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. on many sides. it's been going on for a long time in our country. amidst the hate there was some hope. this isn't going to solve anything with you beating each other up. a rare and brief moment for division to be set aside. as the mayor now calls for calm to be restored. laura bicker, bbc news, washington. we can speak now to the bbc‘s joel gunter, who's at the rally. it's just gone past 8pm where you are, what's the situation?” it's just gone past 8pm where you are, what's the situation? i moved away from the exact site of the

rally earlier this evening, a couple of hours ago, as the national guard arrived, police blocked off the area around emancipation park. when i left it was really starting to dissipate, the last of the white nationalist protesters had been pushed out and the counter protesters had moved off too. some of them went to mcintyre park where they had a permit to rally but even there they petered out not long after. charlottesville is a very progressive place? it is. lots of people have come out from texas, florida, california. it is a mixture, a motley crew of different right wing groups including the so—called alt—right as well as other more hard—core white nationalist

groups and southern defence groups. it's a real different mixture but a lot of people descending on cha rlottesville from lot of people descending on charlottesville from out of town to make a statement about the statue and about what they see as their heritage. can you explain more about that, the statue and the two parks this centres on? it really focuses on what is now being called emancipation park, which was previously lee park and at the heart of the part is the statue of robert e lee, the general. that is planned to be taken down, moved and sold as pa rt to be taken down, moved and sold as part of a greater removal of confederate monuments across the country and that has riled up strong feelings on the part of some who think the confederacy is being maligned. people were marching on friday, there were arrests, do you think there will be questions asked

about why saturday's gathering was allowed to go ahead?” about why saturday's gathering was allowed to go ahead? i was in the middle of it on friday night when about 200 or so white nationalist protesters lit torches and marched through the university of virginia campus and that briefly descended into violent clashes on the campus with some students who had come to confront them. i don't think it really merited cancelling the rally at that point on saturday, it seemed like an isolated moment of violence. certainly there were questions raised this morning about the police presence around the rally as the violence broke out this morning. it took police a little while to even start to get involved in separating people. we will leave it there, joel dumped her in charlottesville, virginia. let's take a look at some

of the other stories making the news. the chief of a hospital in the indian state of uttar pradesh has been suspended in connection with the deaths of 64 children in six days. many of the victims were newborn babies. there are allegations that oxygen shortages caused the deaths in the town of gor—ak—pur, because suppliers' bills went unpaid. authorities deny this and have ordered an investigation. venezuelan opposition protesters are again on the streets of caracas. the government has described comments by president trump about military options against venezuela as a "reckless threat", aiming to drag latin america and the caribbean into conflict. the aid agency, msf, says it's suspending the deployment of its largest migrant rescue ship in the mediterranean. msf has blamed the decision on libya for imposing new access restrictions on large stretches of its coastal waters that traffickers use to smuggle migrants to europe. the charity said it would now assist another rescue team instead. spain is the latest country to be affected by the scare about eggs

with hindu extremists, and for letting down muslims in india. india has a prime minister who has not risen above what we... his communal thinking, his association with extremists, his background where there was this massacre, in gujarat, of muslims when he was the chief minister. somehow we expected that when narendra modi would became the prime minister he would rise above this but i have to say we are all so disappointed because narendra modi has notjust disappointed pakistanis, he's disappointed muslims in india, he's disppointed all the liberal section in india which... enjoyed the fact that india had this multicultural society. he's taken india to a society where a lot of people,

when i was growing up, used to say, they were worried that in india they would not be treated properly, they would not be treated as equal citizens. narendra modi has taken india right there. where my parents‘ generation used to fear that the reason there needs to be a partition is because muslims would not be treated fairly in india and that is what narendra modi has proved. and we'll have a special week of coverage to mark 70 years of partition and the independence of india and pakistan, that's here on bbc world news from the 14th of august. and you can get more information on the dedicated partition page on our website. that's bbc.com/partition. the kenyan human rights commission has blamed police for using excessive force on protestors after results of the presidential election were announced. they claim 2a people have died in election—related violence since tuesday. leaders of the opposition have appealed for calm,

bullets were used. monica atieno lost her nephew, thomas, this morning. i heard that he was shot dead by the police officers. was it a bullet wound in his body? yes, there is a wound, a bullet wound in the chest. kenya's human rights commission said the police were using excessive force, despite a denial from the government. people who break into shops are not peaceful protesters. so you cannot say the police used live bullets on peaceful protesters. it is not true. the opposition national super alliance again rejected what they called a sham election, but theirsenior leaders were absent. stealing elections with impunity, in every five years, must come to an end. this is nothing like the level of anger or violence that sparked the killings ten years ago, but it is a test of leadership over

the angry opposition supporters and overzealous police, and it is a test for kenyan democracy. alistair leithead, bbc news, nairobi. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: glory for the british quartet at the world athletics championships in london, but usain bolt‘s final race before retiring ends in disaster. the big crowds became bigger as the time of the funeral approached. as the lines of fans became longer, the police prepared for a hugejob of crowd control. idi amin, uganda's brutalformer dictator, has died at the age of 80. he's been buried in saudi arabia, where he lived in exile since being overthrown in 1979. two billion people around the world

because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. but there are small signs they may be stepping up their preparedness. thre are reports shoppers are buying more ready meals, investors are buying more gold. in just over a week's time, they will have a civil defence drill here in this city. the sirens will go off, people will be guided from above ground to metro stations or bomb shelters to take cover from any possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful of districts in seoul took part but, apparently, this year, everyone is taking part. meanwhile, this relationship remains key to finding a solution. china's president xijinping has a crucial role if there is to be peace. but in a phone call, he told mr trump that all relevant parties, him included, should stop exacerbating the situation. north korea has threatened to send

receives a financial backing from the west, but some of its members were once fighters. by necessity, they can only work in rebel—held areas. it is unclear why seven of its members were killed, but the deaths bring another bleak and brutal twist to the syrian conflict. gay rights activists have been assaulted after taking part in a pride event in russia. dozens of people held flags and banners in a peaceful parade in a park in st petersburg. while leaving the event a number of the activists were targeted with pepper spray by unidentified men. at least one of the victims was treated in hospital. a danish inventor, who designed the world's biggest privately—built submarine, has been detained on suspicion of manslaughter. the 46—year—old denies killing a swedishjournalist who had been travelling with him. 30—year—old kim vall was last seen on the submarine before it sank. our europe regional editor, danny aber—hard reports. kim wall and peter madsen, looking out from the home—built nautilus as it leaves copenhagen. kim wall, apparently seen here, is the only passenger.

islands on thursday night. police are examining cctv footage to try to verify this. he has appeared in court in a closed hearing. prosecutors said it was needed to shield relatives from emerging details, and to give space for the ongoing police investigation, one that could have stepped from the pages of even the most imaginative danish crime thriller. there was disappointment for the man considered by many to be the greatest sprinter of all time — jamaica's usain bolt — at the world athletics championships in london. he failed to finish in the men's 100 metre relay, which was eventually won by great britain. also leaving the track for good was britain's mo farah in the five thousand metres. parvin kumar ramchurn rounds up all of the night's action. in a career decorated in glory, there was not a golden ending for usain bolt in the 100m relay. the 30—year—old jamaican and 8—time olympic gold medallist,

good morning. well, despite a few nuisance showers across north—east england, for many of us, saturday was a promising day. and a ridge of high pressure continues to build through the night, so clear skies here, withjust a little bit more in the way of cloud across the essex and kent coasts, with the legacy of those saturday showers. but, generally speaking, it is quiet start to sunday. it will be a chilly one, not necessarily in towns and city centres, but in rural spots, expect low single figures to greet you first thing this morning. but there will be a light breeze, and with those clear skies comes lots of pleasant sunshine. so not a bad start to the day. as we go through the afternoon, cloud will start to bubble up, and we'll see a few isolated showers, but hopefully they'll be few and far between. favoured spots likely across scotland and northern ireland. if you dodge the showers, with light winds, 17 or 18 degrees will feel quite pleasant. certainly a better day through the borders, north—east england, down into lincolnshire, in comparison to yesterday. fine, dry and sunny. yes, the risk of an isolated shower further west, into wales and south—west england. but again, you'll be

unlikely to catch those, so highs of 19 to 20 degrees here, and low 20s quite possibly, again if we get the sunshine continuing. so, if you're heading off for the final day of the world athletics championships, whether it is the morning or the evening session, perfect weather conditions for those spectators, and for the athletes. and a similar story, as well, for the premiership matches taking place today. very nice indeed, largely dry here. now, as we move out of sunday, into monday, a change to come. a weather front moves in from the west. it'll bring the heaviest rain through scotland, in particular, and north—west england. light and patchy into northern ireland, wales and south—west england. the best of the sunshine, really, through east anglia, the east midlands, down into the south—east corner. here, we could see highest values around 22 or 23. but, even in the cloud and the rain, we're looking at around 15 to 19 degrees. so once the rain lifts and the brightness returns, not too bad an affair. that front will still clear away. it is not going to bring that much in the way of persistent rain across the east, but it will do so through tuesday night,

into the start of the day. so on tuesday it looks as though we will see a scattering of showers, but not a bad affair. 17 to 23 degrees the overall high. that front still to clear away, and then another waits in the wings for wednesday. but, ahead of it, it stays relatively quiet, so not a bad day on wednesday. it will cloud over from the west with that rain arriving, but that is going to be the story this week. there will be some spells of sunshine from time to time, but also, we can't rule out spells of rain. this is bbc news, the headlines: one person has died and at least 19 others were injured when a car was driven into a crowd in the american city of charlottesville, where demonstrations were being held against a far—right march. officials say there have been another two deaths linked to clashes. an explosion in the pakistani city of quetta has left at least 15 people dead and 30 others injured. witnesses said the blast had occurred in a high security zone.
