said he spent his governorship trying to reshape minnesota into california, adding tim walz is a dangerously liberal extremist and the harris walz california dream is every american's nightmare. jd vance is also on the campaign trail in philadelphia on tuesday. he: immediately went on the attack as well. tim watts's record is as well. tim watts's record is a joke. as well. tim watts's record is ajoke. he as well. tim watts's record is a joke. he has been one of the most far left radicals in the entire united states government at any level but i think that what tim walts's selection says is that, harris has been the need to the far left of her party which is what she always does. :, :, party which is what she always does. ., :, :, party which is what she always does. :, :, :, does. for more on the campaign i soke does. for more on the campaign i spoke with _ does. for more on the campaign i spoke with the _ does. for more on the campaign i spoke with the former - does. for more on the campaign i spoke with the former deputy l i spoke with the former deputy assistant to the president and domestic policy adviser to the vice president in the biden harris white house. thank you so much forjoining us. what did you think of the remarks today?— us. what did you think of the remarks today? today we saw a lot of excitement _ remarks today? today we saw a lot of excitement from - remarks today? today we saw a lot of excitement from the - lot of excitement from the crowd. it was overwhelming in terms of people coming together

to say that this is the democratic nominee for president, this is the democratic nominee for the vice president. we saw a lot of unity and what you saw was two people who are ready to present a vision for the future, for the and also contrast that with their opponents who are running who are not presenting necessarily the same vision and they spoke about what was really important, i thought, at the heart of what they were saying is that this conversation in this fight for america will be the future of our own freedoms and what does the middle class look like? they touched on a number of different policies that they were going to be considering, you heard everything from housing to healthcare to the economy, who was involved in the economy in this broad—based economy, how are we going to lift up the middle class? those are issues important to here today. are issues important to here toda . :, , ., ., :, today. you give us an idea of what you _ today. you give us an idea of what you think _ today. you give us an idea of what you think went - today. you give us an idea of what you think went into - today. you give us an idea of what you think went into the | what you think went into the decision of picking tim walz? the fast two weeks and the frenzied speculation of who it could be, what you think was

the deciding factor in the end? there is no question that there are so many different things to consider when you are thinking about how you are going to pick someone who can help you win and also help you govern and you saw a lot of executives come to the forefront of that decision. but today you heard in the bio that governor walz used and shared with america which is he was in the army for one of the highest ranking army members and thenjoined members and then joined congress, members and thenjoined congress, you heard somebody who was a teacher, somebody was a football coach and just somebody who was a father, all his different experiences that brought him to that point and, also, minnesota has a tremendous track record in terms of what is been able to get done when he has been governor and also things that were on top of the biden harris administration accomplishments. and some of the issues at the forefront today in terms of what we heard was boating, access to reproductive freedom,

those are some of the issues that we know will be central to this campaign and he will have a record to run on for himself as well. :, ~' a record to run on for himself as well. :, ~ , ., , :, as well. the work starts now and we know _ as well. the work starts now and we know that _ as well. the work starts now and we know that the - as well. the work starts now i and we know that the campaign is going out on the road now. one of the big focuses will be on the battleground states in the midwest. he's the governor of minnesota the hope is that he will help, let harris win over some of midwestern states like michigan and wisconsin. —— he will help kamala harris. what you think the challenges will be for kamala harris and tim walz? i will be for kamala harris and tim walz?— will be for kamala harris and tim walz? :, tim walz? i travelled with the vice president, _ tim walz? i travelled with the vice president, travelled - vice president, travelled throughout the country with her throughout the country with her throughout her time is that she is the vice president for all people. it does not matter where you live, she is the vice president and she is going to do her best to make sure that people know she is fighting for them and i think she will want to make sure that governor walz does the same in this role and that he goes to meet people where they are, he makes sure, that he makes sure nothing is taken for granted. it was

important, one of the concepts she spoke to him about was that they are an underdog team and thatis they are an underdog team and that is important for americans to know that their vote is not taken for granted and that they will show up and earn their right to vote.— will show up and earn their right to vote. one of the big issues if _ right to vote. one of the big issues if you _ right to vote. one of the big issues if you look _ right to vote. one of the big issues if you look at - right to vote. one of the big issues if you look at the - right to vote. one of the big i issues if you look at the poles for american voters is the economy, inflation and we heard, harris used the phrase middle class over and over again in her introduction only heard it as well from tim walz. what will they have to do on the road to sell to voters their economic agenda in particular is one that will succeed?— particular is one that will succeed? , :, , :, succeed? there is no question that peeple — succeed? there is no question that people today _ succeed? there is no question that people today want - succeed? there is no question that people today want to - succeed? there is no questionl that people today want to know what are every candidate's plans and what will they do for people, people ask what we do for me? and what is important is what are their plans when it comes to the economy, the ability to meet today you heard about strengthening the affordable care act and making sure it is more affordable for people's healthcare. 0ne sure it is more affordable for people's healthcare. one of the things they spoke about was that on top of the biden harris

administration cutting of insulin down to $35 minnesota winter malls was governor was able to do that law for his people as well. so i think you will hear these topics about lowering costs, the need to also have an aspiration and a future that people can see for themselves and their family whether that is things like the tax credits, and lowering costs. whether it be everyone from our children to our seniors, everybody deserves to know what their plans are for how to lower cost and how they are going to also grow the middle classes well.- are going to also grow the middle classes well. one of the immediate _ middle classes well. one of the immediate criticisms _ middle classes well. one of the immediate criticisms we - middle classes well. one of the immediate criticisms we saw i immediate criticisms we saw from republicans, from donald trump in his statement through jd vance was a tim walls is a far left liberal, the same on the ticket is, harris and that they will make america, california which is they said in a statement would be an american nightmare. what is the response to that? tim watts is a progressive step candidate. i think that this conversation is

really about, when you actually look at their records, when you go and look at all the records, when you look at minnesota, they are headquarters to some of the most famous well—known companies we know today. target is headquartered there, united healthcare, the mayo clinic. these are names that people have heard of and they do business there, people with a lot of jobs they're business there, people with a lot ofjobs they're working on these businesses and it was important that we heard today that they are for broad—based economic growth. that also means, it can mean supporting workers as well as businesses well. tim walls spoke about coming from a state that is one of the best places in the country to do business and we also heard from the vice president. she has put a very longtime emphasis on small businesses. this administration that she is in is going to end this year with 18 million new small businesses in their administration. so what is important to them is notjust how to open up these businesses make sure they can grow but

also who are the people who are going to thrive in this economy. i don't think it was a surprise to hear them talk about both today.- surprise to hear them talk about both today. that is all we have time _ about both today. that is all we have time to _ about both today. that is all we have time to talk - about both today. that is all we have time to talk about i we have time to talk about today. thank you so much. now today. thank you so much. now to some of the news. —— some other news. the nobel peace prize winner, muhammad yunus, will be the leader of an interim government in bangladesh — that decision comes after talks between the president, military leaders and student activists. it'sjust afterformer bangladesh prime minister sheikh hasina resigned and fled the country in deadly prostests. university students first began demonstrations peacefully in earlyjuly against governmentjob quotas, which favoured allies of mr hasina's awami league. it spiralled into these scenes of police opening fire and tear gas on student protesters. at least 400 people died from this conflict in the last month. the single deadliest day was monday, when more than 100 people were reportedly killed during riots. the united nations is calling for investigations into the violence. police in bangladesh have gone on strike, complaining of a wave of reprisal attacks

against them. mr yunus is currently in paris advising olympic organisers but is expected to return to dhaka soon. he called the day of sheikh hasina's resignation a second liberation day". 0ur correspondent in mumbai, achana shukla, has more about bangladesh's new leader in chief, muhammad yunus. he is called the banker to the world. he started a bank that is known to have lifted millions of rural poor out of poverty by providing them with tiny loans without collateral. some for less than $100. brought formal to those who would normally never credit qualified in the lending model has been replicated around the world. he had a frosty relationship with the government. multiple cases of violations, embezzlement and fraud against him and a jail sentence earlier this year, all of which has been denied. amid

the process tests that ousted hasina, yunus is seen as a unanimous choice to lead the interim government. his global image, financial know—how and relationship with banks and financial institutions will come in handy for bangladesh that needs to keep its lenders are short. has over $100 billion of external debt. never $7 million of financial aid is coming from the imf and bank which bangladesh needs to keep flowing into support its flagging economy. but as the dust settles in the interim government is formed, the focus in bangladesh will quickly shift to bringing economic stability, taming inflation and keeping the public united. yunus will have his hands full. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. eluned morgan has been confirmed as the new first minister of wales — and the first woman to hold that role. it follows a vote in the welsh parliament after vaughan gething quit the role last month following the resignation

of four of his cabinet members. his leadership was mired in controversy after he accepted donations from a man twice convicted of environmental offences during his election campaign. scotland's exam body has apologised after thousands of students received blank e—mails, instead of their results, due to a technical glitch. around 7,000 pupils were temporarily affected — the body said the e—mails had been resent and the issue was resolved. overall the pass rate for nationals, highers and advanced highers fell which the scottish government said presented a challenge. the elusive artist banksy has unveiled two new works in london. 0ne shows a mountain goat perched on a narrow ledge, while the second features two elephant silhouettes with the trunks stretched out. banksy verified the works were his on instagram, but did not write a caption for either instagram post, causing fans to speculate on the meaning of the artworks. you are watching bbc news. now to the middle east,

where the palestinian militant group hamas has named yahya sinwar as its new political chief. israel accuses mr sinwar of masterminding the october 7 attacks in which 1200 people were killed and hundreds more taken hostage. he succeeds ismail haniyeh, a senior commander whose assassination in tehran, has stoked fears of a regional conflict. israel and hezbollah have carried out airstrikes against each other. the lebanese authorities say six people have been killed in the strike. hazbolluah launched a drone attack on an israeli military facility on the country's northern coast which injured nineteen people. let's talk more about this now. let's talk more about this now. let's start with sin wara. how significant is it that the manner was considered the architect of the october seven attacks is now the political leader of hamas?- attacks is now the political leader of hamas? nice to be back with — leader of hamas? nice to be back with you _ leader of hamas? nice to be back with you again. - leader of hamas? nice to be - back with you again. remarkable development on that front. as you just stated, the man who

was the mastermind of october seven and directed it and helped to probably plan it with the military commander of hamas with also now dead taste on what the israeli defence forces have said, now he is theoretically responsible for ending this conflict that israel and possibly being the lead person. in some way or fashion to direct the ceasefire terms, the release of hostages and the duality of this is really striking when you tape that may take a step back and think about it. flan that may take a step back and think about it.— think about it. can you tell us more about — think about it. can you tell us more about what _ think about it. can you tell us more about what we - think about it. can you tell us more about what we know . think about it. can you tell us i more about what we know about sinwar and how he may possibly differ from sinwar and how he may possibly differfrom his predecessor? he differ from his predecessor? he has differ from his predecessor? he: has very much been for focused on gaza. he was born in the refugee camp which is now the scenes of a lot of intense

fighting. so he has spent his entire life in the gaza strip, he has been with hamas for 40 years and has been the head of hamas in gaza for at least the last ten or 15 years and has been responsible for planning and organising and directing 0ctober seven. this is a man who has deep roots in the organisation but he is also very different from haniyeh, based on what has been written about sinwar, he is much more of a hardliner, very extremist and willing to allow atrocities that occurred on october seven which hamas had never taken those kind of steps before against israel. so in the aftermath of israel killing haniyeh in tehran, there may now be, there is now a new person in charge of hamas who may be much more inflexible and much more difficult to

negotiate with and israel has also been hunting him since october seven in the gaza strip 0ctober seven in the gaza strip and they clearly have not had a chance to find him. so this has so many different layers to it. it will be fascinating to see how it plays out. i it will be fascinating to see how it plays out.— it will be fascinating to see how it plays out. i guess the question _ how it plays out. i guess the question now _ how it plays out. i guess the question now is _ how it plays out. i guess the question now is what - how it plays out. i guess the question now is what does l how it plays out. i guess the question now is what does it mean for ceasefire negotiations? we know the us the qatari's and the egyptians are eager to move them forward but if you have the man sitting across the table or represented at least who is considered the mastermind of those attacks, how do you imagine negotiations going forward? this how do you imagine negotiations going forward?— going forward? this is another interesting _ going forward? this is another interesting aspect. _ going forward? this is another interesting aspect. i _ going forward? this is another interesting aspect. i all - interesting aspect. i all accounts sinwar is probably deeply buried in the hamas tunnel network in the gaza strip and i would have to assume he probably also has a large number of the remaining hostages around him as well, almost daring israel, if they do actually target his location, that they would probably wind up killing a lot of hostages as well. and so he is not going to be sitting at the table in cairo although higher or wherever the talks

will take place because he is physically, he is not in a position to move. so even how the communications and instructions and guidance flow from sin wara —— sinwar very deeply in the tunnel network to now the political bureau or folks thatis that is not clear how that will work he will be the one calling the shots, it is just a question of how the messages and communications flow. send and communications flow. and this is coming _ and communications flow. and this is coming at _ and communications flow. and this is coming at a _ and communications flow. and this is coming at a time of simmering tension in the region. do we have a sense yet of when and how we might see a retaliation from iran's proxies was to mark that is another aspect of the israel hamas conflict, it has now spiralled out of control and the timing of the strikes against the hezbollah senior commander in beirut going back a week and a half ago and then just hours later the death of haniyeh in

tehran and that is what has put the region in a different footing right now. secretary blinkin: , footing right now. secretary blinking. the _ footing right now. secretary blinking, the us _ footing right now. secretary blinking, the us secretary l footing right now. secretary| blinking, the us secretary of state said on sunday that there was expectation that this iran or hezbollah attack could have occur within 24—48 hours. that window has passed does that mean that the iranians and hezbollah are now waiting again and recalibrating? buti suspect that they and recalibrating? but i suspect that they will try to do something and i have to think it will be even more significant than what iran did in april when it launched objects against israel. always aood to objects against israel. always good to get — objects against israel. always good to get your _ objects against israel. always good to get your perspective | good to get your perspective here on bbc news. thank you so much. the uk home secretary says the government will ensure criminals pay the price for the violence that has gripped towns and cities in england and northern ireland over the past week. it comes as the top prosecutor for england and wales told the bbc he is

involved, either directly or online, that you are likely to be dealt with within a week and that nobody, but nobody should be involving themselves in this disorder. some of those arrested at sunday's riot in rotherham were appearing in sheffield magistrates' court today, including 20 year old liam grey, who denied the charge against him. as the deputy districtjudge worked through the list of all of those accused of violent disorder at sunday's riot, all of the adults were remanded in prison even though they'd pleaded not guilty. only the two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were given bail. one man, joshua simpson, admitted assaulting a police officer. he was also remanded in prison ahead of his sentencing. the disorder in middlesbrough on sunday led to 28 people appearing in court at teesside magistrates today. the justice secretary said she'd brought forward plans to create 500 more prison places to handle the surge of cases going through the courts.

the violence in bolton led to more charges being swiftly brought as a deterrent. dominic stanbridge being charged with violent disorder, which he denied james nelson was jailed for two months for criminal damage. there was also the first charge of stirring up racial hatred linked to the week of disorder. 28—year—old jordan parlour pleaded guilty at leeds magistrates to using facebook to encourage others to attack a migrant hotel. the director of public prosecutions said his staff were even considering terrorism charges. in some cases. where you have organised groups planning activity for the purposes of advancing their ideology, meeting a political objective and then and then planning really, really serious disruption, then yes, we will consider terrorism offences. it's a week now since the first riot outside a mosque in southport last tuesday. tomorrow some 40 protests are planned. police have described the prospect

as concerning, but they are hoping that the threat of immediate, long prison sentences will deter at least some people from engaging in violence. tea m team usa are dominating a dramatic day on the track. and in a shocking upset cole hocker won the 1500 meterfinal, stealing the spotlight from great britainsjosh kerr, who was a favorite to win. 16—year—old skateboarding sensation sky brown is bringing home a bronze for england despite dealing with a dislocated shoulder. hello there. there was some sunshine around on tuesday. there will be again on wednesday, and it looks like it should be a dry day across east anglia in the south east this time, whereas on tuesday the rain

that we had here was much slower to clear away. but it has moved away together with that weather front, we've got low pressure bringing some wetter, windy weather towards the northwest of the uk, but we've all got this west to southwesterly wind that's blowing in cooler and fresher air, so these are the temperatures first thing in the morning. it'll be a cooler start to the day through the midlands and eastern parts of england, with some sunshine around as well. there will be some sunshine around on wednesday. we're also going to find some showers too, particularly across the northern half of the uk, where the winds will be a bit stronger. and some heavier rain and more persistent rain could affect northern and western scotland in the morning, followed by lots of showers, some of them heavy in the north. sunshine and showers for northern ireland. some showers near these western coasts of england and wales will get blown further inland across wales and northern england, but a good chance of staying dry towards the southeast. here we've got the highest temperatures, not quite as high as tuesday,

but still 23 degrees, 18 in the central belt of scotland. that low pressure bringing the stronger winds in the north, and those showers will pull away overnight, but it allows more weather systems to come in from the atlantic. so we're going to find the cloud increasing and thickening through the morning, outbreaks of rain beginning to arrive, likely to turn wetter in the afternoon across northern ireland, northern england and up into scotland. towards the southeast and the east anglia, there will be very little rain at all — a lot of cloud, yes, but temperatures again 23 degrees. generally, though, those numbers are a little below average for this time of the year. now, that wetter weather that does develop tends to move away towards the north and west overnight, leaving us with some drier prospects for friday. there still could be a weather front hanging around here across southern england during the morning, with a little rain. that then moves away, we get some sunshine following on behind. showers coming into the north, particularly across the northwest of scotland, and those could be quite heavy as well, those temperatures not changing a great deal for northern areas, but it should warm up a bit through the midlands towards the southeast of england. quick look ahead to the weekend — very mixed weather, chance of some rain at times,

but on sunday and particularly monday, signs of something much, much warmer across southeastern parts of the uk.
