more than 250 people have been arrested. i want you to know that this violent mob do not represent our country and we will bring them to justice. and an israeli strike on a shelter in gaza kills at least 30 people and injures dozens more. an indefinite curfew is in force across bangladesh after 90 people were killed in anti—government protests. welcome to bbc news. the uk prime minister sir keir starmer has vowed to use the full force of the law against what he described as "far right thuggery" — after a day of violence, serious disorder and rioting across a number of towns and cities in england

and northern ireland. 250 people have been arrested. two hotels housing asylum seekers were surrounded by mobs on sunday. in rotherham, a group of 700 people gathered outside a hotel, where some lit a fire, smashed windows and managed to get inside the building where asylum seekers were staying. there were also violent scenes in middlesbrough, bolton, hull and weymouth, as well as other parts of the uk. in tamworth, police are urging members of the public to avoid the area around the holiday inn hotel, as specialist officers continue to deal with what they described as "violent acts of thuggery" by a large group of people throwing projectiles, including at police officers. protests began after three young girls were stabbed to death in the town of southport last monday and soon turned violent. 0nline rumours falsely blamed the killings on a migrant.

a number of mps have said the uk parliament should be recalled in light of recent events. the prime minister said those involved would be swiftly brought tojustice, while the home office announced that mosques are to be offered greater protection. we begin our coverage with this report from our correspondent navtej johal. anger, violence, destruction. these chaotic scenes are unlike any you'd expect on a summer's sunday afternoon. at times today, rotherham has felt lawless. it began this morning with a group of anti—racism protesters outside a hotel on the outskirts of this yorkshire town, where it's believed asylum—seekers are being housed. but they were quickly outnumbered by a larger group of anti—immigration protesters, many of them angry at the idea of asylum—seekers living in taxpayer—funded hotel rooms. as the afternoon wore on,

chants weren't the only things being hurled at the police or the building. in the last half an hour, things appear to have turned ugly. there have been windows smashed across the hotel. you can see hundreds of people in the street. police have been attacked, objects thrown at them, including fence panels pulled out from around the hotel, and things appear to be turning increasingly nasty. not long after, the crowd surged, more windows were smashed, and finally they managed to force their way in. fires were lit around the building. but things were igniting elsewhere, too. in middlesbrough, a large crowd clashed with police. officers were pushed back and a number of arrests were made as they tried to restore order. this afternoon, the prime minister reacted to the scenes of violence around the country. i utterly condemn the far—right thuggery we've seen this weekend. be in no doubt, those that have

participated in this violence will face the full force of the law. the police will be making arrests, individuals will be held on remand, charges will follow and convictions will follow. i guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, whether directly or those whipping up this action online and then running away themselves. back in rotherham, police confirmed at least ten officers have been injured. there's currently a stand—off taking place. you can see the line of police there. they've just pushed the people back around 50 feet. at least one police officer has been injured here today, and much of the violence we've seen this week has affected those tasked with protecting the public.

an israeli air strike on a school functioning as a shelter in gaza city is reported to have killed at least 30 people. the raid on sunday comes a day after israel bombed another school in gaza city, killing at least 15 people. a warning to viewers, we are about to show you distressing images. here are some of those scenes from sunday's bombing. children covered in blood and dust were rescued from the school complex as it was still on fire. footage reviewed by the bbc that is too graphic to broadcast, confirms children are among those killed. the israeli army says the schools they targeted on saturday and sunday were being used by hamas as command centres. hamas denies using civilian infrastructure. just south of gaza city, israel bombed the al—aqsa hospital in deir al—balah.

gaza's health ministry reported at least five people were killed and dozens injured there. displaced people were sheltering outside the hospital in tents, which caught fire. translation: they said the hospital was safe - and that is why we stayed here. we were sleeping, believing it was safe and suddenly a rocket hit, setting the tent on fire. a woman that was this child's mother was killed. she was hit by shrapnel in her back and died on the spot. martyred where she stood. meanwhile, we're just learning that us presidentjoe biden will convene his national security team on monday to discuss concerns over a possible iranian attack on israel. the meeting will take place in the situation room. iran has promised to retaliate against israel after the assassinations of hamas's leader and a commander in the lebanese militia hezbollah. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu spoke sunday about the threats israel is facing. translation: iran and its| minions seek to surround us with a strangulation

ring on seven fronts. their open aggression is insatiable. we are determined to stand against them on every front in every arena whether near or far. earlier i spoke with former us diplomat and senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace, aaron david miller. division has braced for what that retaliation might be. what is your take on what comes next? . . , , ., , next? iran and its proxies, primarily _ next? iran and its proxies, primarily hezbollah - next? iran and its proxies, primarily hezbollah and i primarily hezbollah and malicious and iraq and syria will co—ordinate a long —— large—scale drone attack. a saturation attack on the cable 13, 14 where they telegraphed i3, 14 where they telegraphed and foreshadowed what they would do. this time they will look for a target. that is

either infrastructure or military in nature. they are trying to demonstrate the effectiveness as well as range and reach. if they succeed, then we go to the israeli response and predicting a large—scale regional escalation but if the iranian attackers to successful, it strikes me that the israelis may well conduct a massive operation against hezbollah and should arrive and see that. you could see this evolving into a direct confrontation between israel and iran and given the fact us will have two carrier strike groups in coming days, an additional one, the us could easily get involved. i'm not predicting it, ithink easily get involved. i'm not predicting it, i think nobody wants it. something the middle east has never seen. find wants it. something the middle east has never seen. and nobody wants it. there _ east has never seen. and nobody wants it. there is _ east has never seen. and nobody wants it. there is intense - wants it. there is intense

diplomacy going on behind the scenes but do you think that will come to anything? i scenes but do you think that will come to anything?- scenes but do you think that will come to anything? i am all for diplomacy _ will come to anything? i am all for diplomacy but _ will come to anything? i am all for diplomacy but i _ will come to anything? i am all for diplomacy but i don't - will come to anything? i am all for diplomacy but i don't see . for diplomacy but i don't see how you could dissuade the iranians from striking. the strike in tehran against the backdrop of a newly minted iranian prime minister is such a humiliation, embarrassment and fundamental demonstration of iran's vulnerability when it comes to its security and security of its leaders. i think the iranians have no alternative but to try and strike it israel and strike in a way that demonstrates there will be a cost to the israelis trying this again. whether or not they can read that needle, demonstrating that because without triggering a major israeli response they could

easily escalate into a broader regional war it remains to be seen. you mentioned the attacks backin seen. you mentioned the attacks back in april. back then, israel's allies in the region likejordan went in and helped protect israel from the drugs and other missiles that were sentin and other missiles that were sent in the direction of the country. sent in the direction of the count . ., sent in the direction of the country-— sent in the direction of the count . ., ~ _, , country. you think countries like jordan _ country. you think countries like jordan are _ country. you think countries like jordan are likely - country. you think countries like jordan are likely to - country. you think countries like jordan are likely to helpj likejordan are likely to help out again this time? we know as you mentioned us is sending assets to the region as well. most of those missiles and drawings, ballistic missiles and cruise muscles, were accepted by the israelis with support of the united states. thejordanians intercepted the jordanians intercepted those thejordanians intercepted those missiles and transverse the aerospace. i suspect they will do that again primarily because it is a matter of their national interest. the unidentified gulf country is that remain to be identified

have at militaryjet and some aspects of the defence. i suspect they to, because they are discreet about it and publicly acknowledging that participation, i suspect they will co—operate as well. the main effort is not the gulf states, notjordan, it is is really a defences with active support of the united states. all of this as the conflict in gaza continues on. i ask this of everyone when we talk about the middle east but what hopes aren't there of any sort of ceasefire deal?— aren't there of any sort of ceasefire deal? ., ., ceasefire deal? right now and i have been _ ceasefire deal? right now and i have been around _ ceasefire deal? right now and i have been around is _ ceasefire deal? right now and i have been around is really - have been around is really negotiations for the better part of 20 plus years, they intend to have two speeds, slow and shirley. it seems to me the odds of a ceasefire deal are slim to none. in large part because the prime minister of

israel has other priorities. the key policy decision maker also needs to maintain control of a good many of those hostages. if there is going to be any kind of deal in this 3—phase arrangement, probably you would see the first phase undertaken. a limited exchange of hostages. sweet and an asymmetrical number of palestinian prisoners but i doubt you will ever get to the third phrase which would see all hostages released an israeli withdrawal and complete cessation of hostilities. i don't think that is in hamas's interest right now nor in the government of israel. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a suspected sex offender who was arrested at london's heathrow airport in march after more than 27 years on the run has been charged

with further offences. richard burrows , who's 80, is now accused of a total of 93 crimes. he's due to appear at chester crown court on monday. jay slater�*s family say his funeral will be a "celebration" of his life. the body of the 19—year—old, from lancashire, was returned to the uk from tenerife last week. his disappearance sparked a high—profile month—long search, but officials later said he died on i7june — the day he went missing from "trauma consistent with a fall in a rocky area". the duke and duchess of sussex have drawn attention to the threats faced by children on the internet in a us television interview. speaking on cbs news sunday morning, the couple drew on their own experience as parents, saying all they wanted to do was "protect" their son archie and daughter lilibet. the pair have just launched a new programme to support parents affected by online harm. you're live with bbc news.

it's not long now, until we learn who kamala harris will pick as her running mate in november's election. the current vice president, who'll be formally confirmed as the democratic nominee at the party's convention later this month, is interviewing potential candidates to be her vp pick. she's hosted some of them at her residence in washington dc. they include pennsylvania governorjosh shapiro, arizona senator mark kelly and minnesota governor tim walz. her decision is expected to be made public by tuesday, ahead of a battleground tour next week. for more, i'm joined now by the hill's national political reporter, julia manchester. welcome to the programme. a weekend of interviews for kamala harris, tell me more about what we know. fix, kamala harris, tell me more about what we know. a weekend of interviews _ about what we know. a weekend of interviews and _ about what we know. a weekend of interviews and really - about what we know. a weekend of interviews and really a - about what we know. a weekend of interviews and really a lot - of interviews and really a lot of interviews and really a lot of speculation. remember last week speculation went into overdrive when a number of these men, mainlyjohn shapiro,

mike kelly, tim wellens, a number of these contenders cancelled a number of previously scheduled weekend plans to go to these meetings. it seems at this point we see john shapiro the governor of pennsylvania is the front runner but has been interesting watching the news surrounding him this weekend because clearly he has a lot of detractors that are taking, making attacks on him this weekend and very much dumping opposition research on him. one of the cheap issues his critics haveis of the cheap issues his critics have is he is very pro— israel. a lot of progressives have an issue with him. taking such a pro—israel stance and what they say is a heavy—handed approach to dealing with pro— palestinian protesters following 0ctober seven. also worth noting governor shapiro is jewish. there worth noting governor shapiro isjewish. there have been accusations of anti—semitism: around as well. interestingly

enough earlier this evening senator mike kelly put out a tweet suggesting he would be serving arizonans but that was taken down. a lot of people are chattering what does that mean? a lot of sites out there but no clear signal as to who it will be yet. clear signal as to who it will be et. . , . . clear signal as to who it will be et. . , ' be yet. fascinating stuff. if ou had be yet. fascinating stuff. if you had to _ be yet. fascinating stuff. if you had to put _ be yet. fascinating stuff. if you had to put your- be yet. fascinating stuff. if you had to put your money| be yet. fascinating stuff. if. you had to put your money on it, who would you pick? at you had to put your money on it, who would you pick? at this oint it, who would you pick? at this point governor _ it, who would you pick? at this point governorjosh _ it, who would you pick? at this point governorjosh period. --| point governorjosh period. —— john shapiro. pennsylvania is a battleground state and he has proven that he can win in that battleground state which is in many ways a microcosm of the united states. as a democrat he was able to appeal to all portions of that party in 2022 wendy read the governor and the two of times he ran for attorney general. he also reached outside of the democratic party to rural parts of the state to appeal to more conservative voters. progressives say they do not like his record and how moderate he is however at the end of the day and a general

election, you have to win the swing moderate independent voters and simplerjust shapiro could be best suited to do that. . ., ,., , could be best suited to do that. . ., , , ., , that. watson, the swing states. what are the — that. watson, the swing states. what are the latest _ that. watson, the swing states. what are the latest polls - what are the latest polls telling us about who is going to be the likely winner. if it is harris versus trump election come november?— is harris versus trump election come november? there is a cbs news tracking — come november? there is a cbs news tracking polda _ come november? there is a cbs news tracking polda came - come november? there is a cbs news tracking polda came out i news tracking polda came out and i believe it showed the best we tied a number of battleground states. ever since she assumed her place as the presumptive democratic nominee, kamala harris closed the gap that exists between joe kamala harris closed the gap that exists betweenjoe biden and donald trump. she has proven to be a lot more competitive and a lot of these battleground states. she is going to be visiting all of them this week in a major swing state effort starting with pennsylvania. we know pennsylvania. we know pennsylvania has 19 electoral couege pennsylvania has 19 electoral college votes and on top of that it college votes and on top of thatitis college votes and on top of that it is very much a swing state. the trump campaign feels

it can make inroads they are. both campaigns paying attention to that state. b, both campaigns paying attention to that state.— to that state. a lot can happen until we get — to that state. a lot can happen until we get to _ to that state. a lot can happen until we get to november. - to that state. a lot can happen l until we get to november. take us to what will be happening at the convention. that is in a couple of weeks from now, the democratic convention. it couple of weeks from now, the democratic convention.- democratic convention. it is. a lot of us i _ democratic convention. it is. a lot of us i few _ democratic convention. it is. a lot of us i few weeks _ democratic convention. it is. a lot of us i few weeks ago - democratic convention. it is. a lot of us i few weeks ago when joe biden was at the top of the ticket we were wondering whether they can be a contested convention or whether it be a challenge to him. however it seems democrats of all stripes are unified behind kamala harris. the question i have is will there be pushback to her vice president shall pick? we see that normally, people tend to fall in line but we are expecting there to be protests of some sort including from pro— palestinian protests. we know the biden harris administration has got a lot of pushback from progressives and people who have pro— palestine a for how they handled that war, how they have been heavy—handed and handling the

protests in the us. i expect there to be some movement of that but we will have to see what happens.— that but we will have to see what happens. thank you very much for _ what happens. thank you very much forjoining _ what happens. thank you very much forjoining us _ what happens. thank you very much forjoining us today. - much forjoining us today. thank you. now to bangladesh, where an indefinite nationwide curfew is in force as unrest between police and anti—government protesters continues. at least 90 people were killed on sunday. police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse demonstrators in several parts of the country. supporters of the prime minister, sheikh hasina clashed with demonstrators who are demanding her resignation. student protest leaders have declared a campaign of civil disobedience, urging people not to pay taxes or utility bills. they're also calling for the shutdown of factories and public transport. protests began injuly when student leaders demanded the government abolish a quota in civil servicejobs, which favoured relatives of those with military backgrounds. that provision has now been scaled back, stills but those taking to the streets say they're also concerned about human rights in

the country, accusing the government of violently suppressing dissent, and wronglyjailing members of the opposition, allegations the government denies. at least 30 members of police died in a single police station in the northern part of the country. the numbers are increasing but not confirmed yet. there are reports of clashes despite the curfew and all of this happened on the first day of the total no cooperation movement. many of these deaths are the result of party members clashing with protesters as they decided to counter the mass protest with their own rallies today. the protesters have called for a long march towards the capital tomorrow

while the government issued a press note calling the protesters militants, in their words, and saying they will take tough action. the protesters said they won't back down until they make the government resign and the government is not showing an indication of stepping down. pope francis has urged venezuela's government and the opposition to "seek truth" and avoid violence in the wake of the country's disputed presidential election. the pope's comments come after countries including the us, chile and argentina cast doubt on results published by protests the government—controlled election commission, which show a win for incumbent president nicolas maduro. the opposition accuses mr maduro of fraud, saying its candidate, edmundo gonzalez, won by a comfortable margin. independent observers say the vote lacks transparency. at least 20 people have been killed in post—election protests.

i spoke to tamara taraciuk broner — director of the peter d bell rule of law program at the inter—american dialogue. in the last few days we have seen countries join america and safeties. is are not legitimate. what comes next? i think we're going to see, unfortunately more repression in the next few days. what we are seeing is a regime clinging onto power violently. there have been 20 people killed, hundreds of people detained and there are several attempts to intimidate people mobilising. however i do think this opens the door to potential negotiation. the fraud was so blatant that it made it very difficult for any relatively democratic country to support what the government says happened during election. we are likely to see increasing

international pressure to lead to transition to democracy. is nicolas maduro likely to listen to that? he is resolute in the fact that he won and at a rally on saturday, vowing to bring justice against the protesters. saying this time there will be no forgiveness. he likes to see himself as a strongman. is he going to bow to international pressure? is he going to care? he won't care and won't bow voluntarily. he has not done that during his entire presidency and won't do that now. the reason why the government went so far with these elections is because it needed some international legitimacy. particularly to go back to international markets. the fraud was so blatant that they are very far from that and need that to be able to correct. they are going to either turn

into nicaragua full—fledged dictatorship or negotiate a way out. floridian athlete bobby finke and the us women's medley relay team shattered world records as they won gold medals on day nine of the paris 0lympics. 0n the last day of olympic swimming events, finke broke sun yang's 12—year world record as he secured gold in the 1,500—meter freestyle. and the us women's medley relay team smashed the world record for the ax100m medley relay which was set by the team in 2019. it was by no means an american shut—out, though the us men's medley relay team suffered their first defeat at an 0lympics since the 1960 rome games. china's pan zhan—le took the gold. in 0lympic track news, us sprinter noah lyles won the 100—meterfinal. and, serbia's novak djokovic, winner of a record 2a grand slam titles, secured his first olympic gold medal after a gruelling match

against carlos alcaraz. an update from australia. the australian government says it raised its tariffs threat level too probable from possible. citing an increase in extremist views of the country leading to a more than 50% chance of the planning of an onshore attack on the next 12 months. the prime minister anthony albanese said he raised the threat level following advice from security services but stressed there was no imminent threat of an attack. a reminder. australia raised its tariffs threat level too probable from possible. we will have more on that and all of the best of the day �*s news on the bbc news website. you stay with us on the channel. we will have more as well. hello there. the weather's looking quite mixed for this upcoming new week.

generally speaking, lower pressure will affect more northern parts of the country. and it is here where we'll see outbreaks of rain, whereas further south, closer to higher pressure, this is where we'll see the drier and warmer weather with some sunshine. now, this area of low pressure could bring some issues for the northwest of the uk with heavy rain. could see some local flooding in places, particularly argyll and the highlands. so a very wet, windy start to monday here. eventually, the rain begins to push south—eastwards through the day, brightening up behind it and the winds easing, but a blustery day further south and east. but much of england and wales will be dry, with variable clouds, some sunshine and feeling much warmerand humid again, up to the high 20s here, mid 20s further north. now, that band of rain, some of it heavy and thundery, will affect western england and wales through monday evening. during the night, it begins to fizzle as it pushes its way towards eastern england. but ahead of it, it will stay warm and muggy. behind it, in the clearer skies, it'll be cooler and fresher. plenty of sunshine in the north and the west to start tuesday, that weather front weakening as it pushes towards east and southeast england.

it eventually clears away, skies brighten up as well, so not a bad afternoon. just a few blustery showers for western scotland and northern ireland. those temperatures range from around 18 to 2a, 25 degrees in the southeast. now, that area of low pressure begins to move. on wednesday, it's sitting across the northern half of the country. that's going to bring a windy day to much of scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england, with showers or longer spells of rain. so those rainfall totals really beginning to mount up at this point across western scotland. but for much of england and wales, a dry day to come, quite a bit of sunshine around, variable cloud. yes, it will be breezy here, not as windy as it'll be further north. and these sorts of temperatures, pretty much what we expect this time of year — around the high teens in the north, low 20s further south. as we move out to wednesday into thursday, that area of low pressure pulls away, but another one hot on its heels starts to push in off the atlantic. and this one, i think, will bring a more widespread, cloudier, wetter, windier day, certainly across central, northern and western areas. once again, the rain will be heavy across the northwest.

but it could be perhaps the midlands, southern, south—east england could stay dry altogether. top temperatures 23 degrees, given some brightness, high teens further north. and for the end of the week, it looks like it stays unsettled across more northern areas, with the greater chance of seeing sunshine and warmth across the south and southeast.
