taylor swift cancels all three of her planned concerts in vienna, after police arrest two men suspected of planning attacks. the new democratic ticket for the us presidency hits the campaign trail — in key midwestern swing states — this is the scene live in detroit where kamala harris and tim walz are holding a campaign rally. nobel peace prize winner muhammad yunus is returning to bangladesh to lead an interim government due to be sworn in on thursday. and australian scientists say the waters around the great barrier reef are warmer than at any time in four centuries.

welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in the uk and around the world. we begin in the uk and following fears of more street violence from far—right groups, tens of thousands of anti racism protestors, have been on the march. police say they were ready to respond to well over 100 planned far—right demonstrations, but protests against racism outnumbered any violence. this map shows some of the areas where anti racism protestors had been gathering. from newcastle to birmingham, liverpool to brighton, sheffield to london. apart from some isolated incidents, in aldershot and chatham — the marches have been largely peaceful. in brighton — there was a large police presence

at a counter—protest that spilled out onto one bristol earlier this evening — where more than 1,000 counter—protesters gathered. this was the counter—protest in liverpool — outside a refugee centre.but one of largest anti—racism protests, has been in east london, from where our uk affairs correspondent, daniel sandford reports. refugees are welcome here! after police concerns that could be widespread violence by the far right tonight, what we saw was a wave of largely peaceful demonstrations against the far right. this was walthamstow in north—east london. the office of some immigration lawyers had been on the list of far right targets. here in walthamstow a few thousand people have blocked the main shopping street. cheering it's designed to counteract the far right parlance of the last few days. the concern about possible violence meant police had enacted their national mobilisation plan. we have changed our tactics

in the last couple of days, so besides marshaling more offices, we are abrogating some of them at key strategic locations across the country to give us more agility to respond to wherever the protests are most intense so we can respond with agility and show overwhelming force so that the criminals and thugs on the streets do not succeed. the police will be there to respond to any violence and criminality we see on our streets. there is no place for that on our uk streets and the police will do theirjob, like they have done, except well. bristol was among the other cities where antiracism protests were seen tonight. i saw unity. i see people came together to form this unity. - like the old saying says, i you know, divided we fall, together we stand. ijust felt like i needed to be here to kind of help protect them. you can see a lot of places are boarded up, so there

has been a lot of fear about what could happen, and it's just felt really important that we were here to protect our community. there was some tension in aldershot, where opposing protesters shouting stop the boats on the one side and refugees are welcome here on the other had to be separated by police. in southampton, a small group ofanti—migrant protesters were outnumbered by antiracism campaigners. while in accrington in lancashire, a group of british asians walking through the town were embraced by pub goers. antiracism demonstrations were seen in several other major cities, including newcastle, where a few thousand packed parts of the west end. but as in london, there was no sign of the originally planned far right demonstration. daniel sandford, bbc news, walthamstow. 0rganisers say the threetaylor swift concerts due 0rganisers say the three taylor swift concerts due

to take place in vienna this week have been cancelled, after two men were detained on suspicion of planning an islamist attack. a 19—year—old was arrested in the north—east of the country. the other suspect was held in vienna. the concerts were due to take place thursday, friday and saturday as part of her global eras tour. more than 65,000 people were due to go to her gigs. the bbc�*s bethany bell is in vienna and told me what she knew. what we know is what police told us earlier. they had arrested these two people — one described as a 19—year—old austrian citizen from the town, just a little bit south of vienna. he and the other person who is a left —— arrested were said to have been radicalised by the internet and that the 19—year—old apparently they with the police called an oath of allegiance to a sonic state

you're with newsday. let's turn to bangladesh — where the nobel peace prize winner, muhammad yunus, will return on thursday to become the leader of the nation's interim government. he is a long—time politicalfoe of the ousted prime minister. earlier, he was seen at a paris airport, preparing to catch a flight back to bangladesh. je was announced as leader following talks between

he was announced as leader following talks between the president and student leaders who played a key role in the weeks of protests that toppled sheikh hasina. mr yunus, who is 84, faced several legal cases this year, which he said were politically motivated. he's been in paris for a medical procedure. 0ur south asia correspondent samira hussain sent us this update from dhaka. this is one of the busiest intersections in central dhaka, and sometimes you can wait for hours to be able to cross at this intersection. all the people here that you see that our holding umbrellas, those are either students or volunteers this is one of the busiest intersections in central dhaka, and sometimes you can wait for hours to be able to cross at this intersection. all the people here that you see that our holding umbrellas, those are either students or volunteers that have taken it upon themselves to direct traffic. you also see that there are some members of the military that are also here that are helping. but, predominantly, this is very much volunteers that are taking care of law

and order in the country. you wouldn't really expect this kind of organisation in a country that currently doesn't have a government in place. remember, there were weeks of violent protest that led to prime minister sheikh hasina resigning her position and fleeing the country. the police force is absent here on the streets and that is because they were responsible for the deadly force that was used and which we saw hundreds killed over the last several weeks. so police forces have fled and in its place we see the students who have taken up the responsibility for maintaining law and order. president putin has accused ukraine's armed forces of carrying out a "large—scale provocation" by mounting a cross—border incursion into the russian region of kursk. according to the russian defence officials, ukrainian troops crossed into russia near the town of sudzha. mr putin accused the attackers of firing indiscriminately at civilian buildings. russia's ministry of defence has said fighting which began on tuesday

was continuing. 0ur ukraine correspondent james waterhouse has more. judges have ruled that shamima begum won't be allowed to challenge the removal of her british citizenship when you get these reports, notably on the russian side, that ukraine has sent a few hundred soldiers across the border into russia itself, you know, the feeling from some experts was "why?" we're hearing very little on this side of the border, which is common, and one ukrainian colonel has described this operation as preventative. so it's clear something is going on. and there's a bit of a backdrop here, because many will remember in may, russia launched a major cross—border incursion itself in the north—eastern kharkiv region. it effectively extended the front line, it gave overstretched ukrainian troops something else to think about, and it put the city of kharkiv itself under pressure. since then, there have been

tens of thousands of russian troops, it's thought to be, gathering along the vast border with ukraine, and that's made officers and officials here nervous about them doing the same in the sumy region further north. so it seems that ukraine has tried to get there first by going across the border, according to reports in russia taking several settlements, trying to destroy bridgeheads on narrow streams to try and frustrate any future attack that might have been in the making. but what's also interesting is just how quickly the language in russia itself has heightened compared to here. we had quick reports of the attack, we had announcements of evacuations. we had claims of the attack being repelled in an online post before it was deleted, and now we have this from vladimir putin. after meeting his senior security chiefs, he's accused ukraine of a major provocation. have died following torrential rain that has swept through parts of the country. the un agency in yemen says that there've been fifteen water temperature extremes have been

the warmest... water temperature extremes around the great barrier reef have been the warmest for 400 years resulting in more mass coral bleaching events happening in the last decade. scientists in australia who have examined the skeletons of coral and historic data says the evidence is clear that the reef is in danger and governments have to act now against climate change. victoria gill reports. a vast, natural wonder. the great barrier reef is a colourful, living underwater ecosystem. but climate change is transforming it. it's caused five mass coral bleaching events here injust the last nine years. and, in a report in thejournal nature, scientists have shown that rising temperatures now threaten the survival of the reef. what is it like to see a healthy reef bleached? it's very white. quickly algae forms on top of the corals, which turns them a kind of brown colour. it's not a pretty sight.

the scientists examined long coral cores, samples drilled out of the bodies of centuries—old coral. these contain chemical clues that reveal how warm the water was during the life of the reef. combining this with historical sea temperature records showed that in just the last decade, temperatures around the great barrier reef were the warmest of the past 400 years. the high sea surface temperatures are extreme in this context of the last four centuries. and we're very confident in the reconstruction that we've performed. it's been exhaustively tested, and unfortunately it shows this terrible news for the reef. bleached, heat—stressed coral can recover. but if the current rate of global warming continues and the high temperatures don't relent, it won't have a chance to. well, the science tells us that the great barrier reef is in danger. we have the answers to this already. we have targets, we have agreements internationally.

i think we need to put the politics aside and get on with it. even if international targets to limit global warming are met, many of the corals here are likely to be lost. but if action is taken now on climate change, scientists say that parts of this natural wonder can still be saved. victoria gill, bbc news. before ago. banksy has struck again with a third mural appearing in london this week. the street artist has continued his theme of animal silhouettes. the latest piece is in brick lane in east london and shows monkeys. two others appeared this week in kew bridge and chelsea. the artist confirmed the piece was his in a post on instagram. for many parts of the country, i think wednesday was a pretty cloudy day, the best of any sunshine across scotland and northern ireland. there were a few passing showers here, whereas further southwards across parts of england and wales really limited to just glimpses of sunshine. it was pretty cloudy

for much of the day. looking out in the atlantic, we've got another area of low pressure that's set to bring some damp weather in initially thursday morning, as this warm front spreads its way in. mind you, we have got some drizzle around at the moment. east england, so it's here where we're going to have the brightest start to the day on thursday with a fair bit of morning, sunshine, any sunshine for you staying there in south east england? in southeast england ? short—lived. it's going to turn quite cloudy, but staying on the bright side, the damp and drizzly weather for wales and western england replaced by more general outbreaks of rain through the day, the rain heavy as it swings across northern ireland into scotland, northern england and north wales. top temperatures running into the low 20s now through thursday night that we'll see that rain band continue its way northwards and eastwards, the rain turning heavy for a time in northern scotland before clearing out of the way, and there may well be a hang back of cloud still bits and pieces of rain left over into friday morning before this front finally pulls out of the way. then we get this little ridge of high pressure starting to build from the west, and that means an improving weather. picture rain clearing away. then from eastern england. many of us will have fine spells of sunshine developing through the day.

0k, there'll be a few showers for west scotland, an odd one for northern ireland, north wales, but for many during the afternoon on friday it will be dry with sunny spells, temperatures widely into the 20s and getting warmer across east anglia and south east england with temperatures into the mid 20s. a warming trend because the jet stream is going to change as warm air gets brought northwards by tropical storm debby, colder air comes out of canada. it changes the shape of the jet stream. the jet stream gets more wiggly through the weekend. the significance of that is we get underneath this ridge and that makes it get a lot warmer, if not hotter, particularly across parts of england and wales, where temperatures will push into the low 30s. the short blast of heat, though not everywhere. the will, i think, be some heavy rain to come across the north and west of the uk. that's the latest.

walt disney's streaming business turns profitable for the first time, but troubles remain in the magic kingdom. plus, we find out if google's landmark antitrust ruling could be a warning shot
