were arrested on saturday. those people who have been involved in this disorder over the last few days will be found by the police, will be arrested, will be taken through the courts. we want to make it very clear, there are penalties, there are consequences. israel strikes targets in southern lebanon, after hezbollah fires a barrage of rockets across the border. france becomes the latest western country to urge its nationals to leave lebanon amid fears of a wider conflict in the middle east. it's day 9 of the paris olympic games, 20 gold medals up for grabs today, and the men's 100 meterfinal later

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. we start here in the uk, where more than 100 people have been arrested after demonstrations organised by the far—right descended into scenes of violence in towns and cities across england and northern ireland on saturday. skirmishes broke out at far—right rallies in locations including liverpool, manchester, bristol, and hull, as well as belfast. rioters threw missiles at police, injuring a number of officers, and in some places looted shops or set them on fire. tensions have escalated since the murder of three young girls in southport nearly a week ago. senior police leaders say they're ready to deploy thousands more officers, in expectation of further violent protests. charred remains of stolen goods, smashed windows and day be still strewn across the streets. this how in the aftermath of last night's

riots. it was a night of violence the city had never seen before in recent times. fireworks were thrown, cars were set on fire and police officers were injured but today volunteers involved in the key napkin to show that this is not representative of their city. i think it was really important to show the people of springbank, our black and asian communities that, you know, if people are going to bring 200 people out here we are going to bring 20,000 out to incite good. i going to bring 20,000 out to incite aood. ~ , . going to bring 20,000 out to incite ood. ~' , ., , ., , good. i think there is a better way of communicating _ good. i think there is a better way of communicating anger, - good. i think there is a better way i of communicating anger, channelling it as a _ of communicating anger, channelling it as a force — of communicating anger, channelling it as a force for good. yeah, it is really— it as a force for good. yeah, it is really sad — it as a force for good. yeah, it is really sad-— it as a force for good. yeah, it is really sad. had to do something. i've not a really sad. had to do something. i've got a little _ really sad. had to do something. i've got a little boy. _ really sad. had to do something. i've got a little boy. it _ really sad. had to do something. i've got a little boy. it is - really sad. had to do something. i've got a little boy. it is the - i've got a little boy. it is the world — i've got a little boy. it is the world i_ i've got a little boy. it is the world i want _ i've got a little boy. it is the world i want him _ i've got a little boy. it is the world i want him to - i've got a little boy. it is the world i want him to grow. i've got a little boy. it is the world i want him to grow upj i've got a little boy. it is the - world i want him to grow up and so, yeah. _ world i want him to grow up and so, yeah. just— world i want him to grow up and so, yeah. just come _ world i want him to grow up and so, yeah, just come out, _ world i want him to grow up and so, yeah, just come out, make - world i want him to grow up and so, yeah, just come out, make a - world i want him to grow up and so, i yeah, just come out, make a positive change _ yeah, just come out, make a positive change show— yeah, just come out, make a positive change. show people _ yeah, just come out, make a positive change. show people that _ yeah, just come out, make a positive change. show people that this - yeah, just come out, make a positive change. show people that this is - change. show people that this is

led and they have the resources snd the equipment to deal with high levels of public disorder. and again, 90 arrests, i expect that number to grow as the post—incident investigations get into gear and the police across our towns and cities start to review the information and the evidence that they have and start to make further arrests in relation to these disgraceful incidents that we have had across the country. many police officers will be all too used to it but what is going on? i suppose it's a psychology question really, why are people attacking the police? the police have not done anything wrong, so why are people attacking them? it's an interesting point and a very good question because what we have seen is essentially what amounts to political protests driven essentially by the far right and with counter protests from the far left that are coming into play as well. the police are very much

caught in the middle. the police, it's unsurprising in a sense, that within their role of protecting the public and property and maintaining king's peace, they come into contact with individuals that are bent on violence. and i have to say, when you see looting and theft are starting to come into the equation, then that has very little to do with peaceful and lawful protest. france is urging its nationals living in iran to leave the country, warning iranian airspace and airports could close as fears mount of a middle east conflict. on saturday, the us and the uk asked their nationals to take any available exit route out of lebanon amid fears of an all—out war between israel and hezbollah. israel's air force has struck targets in southern lebanon after the israeli military said about 30 rockets were fired into northern israel.

it said most were intercepted or landed in open areas. there's been no reports of any casualties. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, says his country was at "a very high level" of preparedness for any scenario. iran and hezbollah pledged "severe" retaliation for the assassination of the hamas' political chief, ismail haniyeh, in tehran and israel's killing of a hezbollah commander in beirut. we can cross live to beirut and our middle east correspondent hugo bachega. people want to try and leave. exactly. and there are, you know, realfear exactly. and there are, you know, real fear is that this response by iran and his brother could spark a wider regional conflict. this morning the uk foreign office warned british nationals were here in

lebanon to leave the country now. those who remain here should register with the embassy. the us said that its citizens it should leave on any flight available so there is obviously be concerned that an escalation of hostilities could leave of foreign nationals stranded here in lebanon which would require a huge evacuation effort and there is also the point that the airport here in beirut is the only commercial airport in lebanon. so, you know, very restricted options for those who are trying to leave the country because flights are cancelled and suspended. many of those with a ticket have sold out. fares have more than doubled and now we have these warnings, an increasing number of countries are urging their citizens to leave lebanon but here in beirut, there are no signs of panic. no signs of people scrambling to the country. and diplomatic efforts continue to

try to de—escalate tensions here and there is a busy bee expectation from western officials that iran could be planning a large attack on israel, perhaps larger than the one that happened in april when iran launched more than 300 missiles and drones and the expectation is that this response from iran could happen in coordination with its proxies across the region. pare coordination with its proxies across the reuion. �* , , i. the region. are 'ust reminders, you could, of the region. are 'ust reminders, you could. of the — the region. arejust reminders, you could, of the most _ the region. arejust reminders, you could, of the most recent _ the region. arejust reminders, you could, of the most recent exchange between israel and hezbollah. yes. between israel and hezbollah. yes, so, this morning, _ between israel and hezbollah. yes, so, this morning, there _ between israel and hezbollah. ya: so, this morning, there were more rockets fired from hezbollah, from southern lebanon. some of those rockets were intercepted by israel's air defence systems. the israeli military has retaliated and this has been the reality along the lebanon israel border since october when hezbollah started this campaign, saying that they are supporting palestinians in gaza. and this has

been the fair since then, fears of violence which has been, by and large, contained two areas along the border could escalate to become a wider conflict between hezbollah and israel. up until now, the indications from both has plymouth and israel are that they are not interested in a major confrontation which could have catastrophic consequences for both lebanon and israel. hezbollah has tens of thousands of rockets including precision guided missiles which can strike deep inside israel and the israeli authorities have warned that they could, due to beirut what they have done to gaza. in other words, that any kind of israeli military operation against hamas would be extremely disruptive here in lebanon as well. . ~ extremely disruptive here in lebanon as well. ., ,, , ., ., extremely disruptive here in lebanon as well. ., ~' , ., ., ., at least 25 people have been killed in bangladesh as clashes erupted between police and anti—government protesters. dozens have been injured. police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrators in several parts of the country.

we can cross live to mir sabbir, editor of the bbc�*s bangla service, who's in dhaka. thank you for coming on the programme. just talk as though the very latest there.— very latest there. apparently the death toll today _ very latest there. apparently the death toll today stands - very latest there. apparently the death toll today stands at - very latest there. apparently the death toll today stands at 27. - very latest there. apparently the i death toll today stands at 27. that is across the country from the southern part to the northern part and the districts. and these deaths include the protesters, we have heard about a few teenagers. and when he died in the clashes. the numbers are unclear because we do not know what will be the final number because we are hearing clashes in many parts, still, it is happening. and these clashes are mostly, in many cases, are between the protesters and the ruling party

activists. in some places, between the police and the protesters. and the police and the protesters. and the reason behind it is, yesterday, the reason behind it is, yesterday, the protesters, the student movement leaders, they actually declared a one demand which is the resignation of the government. and the ruling party, they have announced their own programmes, valleys across the country. and as a result, we have seen what is happening between the government activists and the protesters. and this is the first day of the total noncooperation declared by the student movement leaders. so this is the situation, still from the beginning. because of the situation, the government has extended the curfew, which was actually. it was supposed to start

from 9pm. but they have extended it now from now on, the curfew is continuing. now from now on, the curfew is continuing-— the nigerian president, bola tinubu, has given a televised address appealing for an end to the nationwide protests over a cost of living crisis, and urged dialogue instead. the president promised to address the concerns raised by the protestors. but he did not suggest he was planning to reintroduce a fuel subsidy as demanded by the protestors. on saturday, security forces fired live bullets and teargassed demonstrators in the capital, abuja. 700 people have been arrested across nigeria. police say seven people have died. chris ewokor is in abuja and he told me how people have been reacting to the president's address. many, especially who have attended the protest so far say that the

president's speech did not meet with their own aspiration, as it fell short of addressing the fundamental issues of reversal of their subsidy that he announced last year, as well as many other issues including insecurity, that has shot up their costs in the country but the president will addressing the nation this morning said he has heard the cries and the voices of the people and is ready to work with them. for and is ready to work with them. for an end to the protests and room for dialogue but, to dip in to this day of the protest, it is still hard to see the protesters are willing to stand down and negotiate. some of them who spoke to me said that they are not ready to leave the streets unless the fundamental issues are addressed.

venezuela's president, nicolas maduro, says he will not accept the opposition�*s attempt to — what he calls — �*usurp the presidency�* — as nationwide protests continue over the disputed election results. the opposition leader, maria corina machado, came out of hiding to lead a mass rally in caracas, on saturday, defying government calls for her arrest. she's urged her supporters to continue protesting peacefully and said maduro's government had lost all legitimacy since the disputed election. translation: today is a very important day. l after six days of brutal repression, they thought they were going to silence us, frighten us and stop us. the presence of each one of you here represents the best of every venezuelan. it shows the world the magnitude and strength and what it means that we will go all the way.

we're going to take your live to paris. the olympics have entered their ninth day and my colleague maryam moshiri is in paris. it's day nine of the olympics here. in the last hour we've had some exciting medal news for team gb with a bronze medalfor lottie fry and glamourdale in the individual dressage event. germany'sjessica von bredow—werndl defended her 0lympic title, taking home her second gold medal of these games. 0vernight the stade de france was treated to a historic performance in the women's sprints. julien alfred stormed to the women's 100m title to make history as st lucia's first 0lympic medallist. st lucia, a caribbean island of fewer than 200,000 people, has fielded athletes at seven previous olympic games without winning a medal. more on that in a moment. but today is another day and there are 20 golds to be won. let's take you through today's results and events. let's start with the tennis

where novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz have set up a repeat of this year's wimbledon final as they battle it out for the tennis men's singles gold meal. three golds are up for grabs in the gymnastics arena with team gb�*s harry hepworth in the men's rings final and bronze medal winner on the floor, jake jarman, in the vault final later. in track and field we have already had qualification today for the women's 200m, later we will see the women's high jump final and of course the blue ribbon men's 100m final this evening. team gb men have been knocked out of the hockey, and later we also have action in the basketball, badminton and beach volleyball to watch out for too today. let's take a closer look at that incredible women's 100 metres sprint final at stade de france last night. julien alfred won the olympic women's 100m title at paris 2024, to make history as st lucia's first ever gold medallist.

last year's world champion, america's sha'carri richardson, took silver with her compatriot melissa jefferson in third. straight off the starting blocks it was neck and neck, with richardson pegged as the favourite to win. but alfred stormed through to take the victory by a clear margin in a national record of 10.72 seconds. so, as i mentioned, a big night for the athletics last night and there is more to come later today in the stade de france. and as always the us dominates so many of these events. max siegel, the ceo of the usa track and field, told us more about the us system to promote exceptional athletes. first i want to acknowledge the amazing job the city is doing with this event. our collegiate system is such an important part of the

development of our world—class athletes and has such a huge impact on the sport globally so we couldn't be more proud of the colleges and universities, the coaches that worked so hard to get our athletes ready to compete on a stage like the olympic games. fist ready to compete on a stage like the olympic gamec— ready to compete on a stage like the olympic games. at such an important s stem, olympic games. at such an important system. isn't — olympic games. at such an important system. isn't it? _ olympic games. at such an important system, isn't it? for— olympic games. at such an important system, isn't it? for bringing - olympic games. at such an important system, isn't it? for bringing up- system, isn't it? for bringing up people from all over america but as we have seen, from all over the world. �* , , ~ we have seen, from all over the world. �* , , �* ~' world. absolutely. and i think even in the united _ world. absolutely. and i think even in the united states, _ world. absolutely. and i think even in the united states, people - world. absolutely. and i think even in the united states, people failed | in the united states, people failed to recognise that our system benefits our athletes globally so we could not be more proud to contribute as a country to the development of these athletes and the collegiate system play such an important role than that. haifa the collegiate system play such an important role than that. how much ressure important role than that. how much pressure is — important role than that. how much pressure is there, _ important role than that. how much pressure is there, do _ important role than that. how much pressure is there, do you _ important role than that. how much pressure is there, do you think- important role than that. how much pressure is there, do you think on i pressure is there, do you think on team usa to get the job done pressure is there, do you think on team usa to get thejob done in track and field given the job in the pool was a bit disappointing this year? pool was a bit disappointing this ear? ., ~ ., , year? you know, last night, swimming had an amazing _ year? you know, last night, swimming had an amazing night. _ year? you know, last night, swimming had an amazing night. we _ year? you know, last night, swimming had an amazing night. we are - year? you know, last night, swimming had an amazing night. we are focused | had an amazing night. we are focused on our game plan. we could execute was a mere 47 governing bodies, amazing athletes here. so we're really going to step up and do the best that we can do and we are expecting amazing performances of our athletes and we could not be

because it is the buildup, the part that people do not see, warm up track you go to a holding room where you come from the warmup track and you go to a holding room and just sit there for 10—15 minutes and you walk out into a stadium 15 minutes even sometimes. with a magnitude of 80,000 people shouting and screaming and then walking out into the of that at you and the ability to regulate your emotions takes magnitude and the 80,000 people shouting and screaming. volunteers are crucial for the success of any 0lympics games and there are 45 thousand of them working at the olympics and paralympics in paris. one of the british contingent is kerry linder.we asked her why she is so keen to volunteer. i started in 2012. i kind of got the bug then and really wanted to be involved in london, and living not farfrom london. and ijust wanted to help make the 2012 olympics the best it could be. and i ended up kind ofjoining a choir, and made some amazing friendships from that. and i kind of got the volunteering bug, so volunteered in lots of

stuff. this is my third 0lympics. i went out to rio as well, volunteered there and i am here in paris with a large contingent, i have to say, of uk volunteers. let's ta ke let's take a quick look at the medal table before i leave you this hour. china had been at the top of that medal table for quite a while now and they are still there. they have 16 gold medals. 37 medals. the us have a lot more medals than china at 61 but 14 have a lot more medals than china at 61 but 1a goals which means they are second on that list. great britain, a huge number of medals. 3a medals. ten golds. australia and fourth in france, the home nation, always good when the home nation does well. they are currently on 12 gold medals in third place. iam back

it began drifting north four years ago, and was expected to break up. but for the past few months it's been caught in a vortex of water near the south orkney islands, which will delay its eventual demise. let me take you to sicily, where the airport at catania has partly closed and drastically reduced the number of its flights as a lava fountain gushes from nearby mount etna. a ten—kilometre—tall volcanic cloud has accompanied etna's eruption. it's the third time this month volcanic activity has disrupted flights. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello, there. 0ur sunday story so far has been a rather cloudy one, and if you get to see some sunshine, it will be fleeting glimpses, as depicted in morgan in cornwall. now, there is also some cloud and rain further north and west, pushing its way through northern ireland and western fringes of scotland as well. cloudy skies generally through scotland, northwest england and wales. if we get some brightness, it is likely to beat further south and east, temperatures peaking at 23 degrees. so, down on the last few days. now, the winds will continue to strengthen to the north and west, just in excess of 45 miles an hour. and the rain will turn quite heavy, particularly across western scotland. we could see as much to 2—3 inches of rain, tied into this area of low pressure before it eases away. so, a wet night here. elsewhere, we are going to start off monday morning with that rain lingering for a time. some of it quite heavy across western scotland, eastern scotland should be largely dry and bright first thing in the morning. a fairly narrow but intense a band of rain moving its way

through northern ireland, and quite a lot of cloud generally through the irish sea, thick enough for a spot or two of drizzle. so, it will be east of the pennines that sees the best of the brightness. and with the wind direction reverting once again back to a south—westerly, tapping into some very warm air across the near continent, it is going to feel quite humid once again. temperatures should actually peak across much of eastern england at 26 or 27 degrees, that is pretty close to 80 fahrenheit. now, as we move through monday night into tuesday, that frontal system, still a pretty narrow but intense band of rain will bring a spell of wet weather as it seeks its way steadily south. it stays quite warm as well in the southeast, where we have had that heat. uncomfortable night for getting a good night's sleep, once again. but the risk of some rain first thing in the morning, great news for gardeners and growers out there across lincolnshire, east anglia and southeast england. a little bit of welcome rain for us,

brightening up behind, a scattering of showers into the far northwest. fresher here, 16—19. highs of 2a — 25 still possible in east anglia. but low pressure it never too far away, sitting up into the far northwest once again by the middle of the week. and that is how we are likely to seek the remainder of this week panning out. scotland and northern ireland, showers or longer spells of rain, and drier and warmer in the south.

this is bbc news, the headlines.

british police say they're ready to deploy thousands more officers, in expectation of further violent far—right protests. dozens of people were arrested in towns and cities across england and northern ireland on saturday. those people who have been involved in this disorder over the last few days will be found by the police, arrested, taken through the courts. we want to make it very clear there are penalties and consequences. israel's air force strikes targets in southern lebanon, after hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets across the border. the israeli military says most of the rockets were intercepted. several countries urge their nationals to leave lebanon as fears grow of a wider conflict in the middle east. iran has vowed "severe" retaliation against israel,
