Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina addresses the media at a vandalized metro station in Mirpur, after the anti-quota protests. Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country on Monday after hundreds of people were killed in a crackdown on demonstrations that began as protests against job quotas and swelled into a movement demanding her ouster. Hasina was "so disappointed that after all her hard work, for a minority to rise up against her," Joy said. Earlier, army chief General Waker-Uz-Zaman announced Hasina's resignation in a televised address to the nation and said an interim government would be formed. "The country is going through a revolutionary period," said Zaman, 58, who had taken over as army chief only on June 23.

Viewers have had mixed reactions to athletes who have gotten engaged during the Paris Games. While some feel that the grand gesture makes Olympians’ big moments even bigger, others say that the proposals steal the spotlight from female athletes in particular. A Chinese social media site even jokingly shared a post featuring an added engagement ring column alongside the medal counter. But proposals done just after a monumental win have drawn some of the most scrutiny from some fans. And many social media users came to the couple’s defense, arguing that the proposal took place after the medal ceremony.

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened an emergency security meeting Monday after far-right riots spread over the weekend, and residents of villages, towns and cities across the country woke up to scenes of buildings set on fire and asylum seeker hotels stormed by angry mobs. Nearly 150 people were arrested over the weekend, U.K.’s National Police Chiefs’ Council said Sunday. False rumors about the suspect quickly spread online, fueling an outburst of violence. On Sunday, two hotels where asylum seekers are believed to be living, were targeted by mobs in what has turned into the worst disorder the U.K. has seen in years. The South Yorkshire police, where Rotherham is, later said its officers were also targeted with glass bottles and beer cans by a crowd of about 700 people.

One police officer in the city was hit on the head with a chair and another kicked and knocked off his motorcycle. The police force responsible for the region has confirmed that two officers were taken to the hospital with injuries. Police officers face off with protesters during a far-right demonstration in Bristol, England. The latest demonstrations puncture any idea that Starmer’s center-left government has evaded an ascendant hard-right movement that continues to rise on the continent. Behind his majority, there remains an angry and active far-right undercurrent that continues to make itself heard.

London CNN —Former BBC presenter Huw Edwards has pleaded guilty to having 41 indecent images of children on the messaging app WhatsApp, according to PA Media.

Huw Edwards, who left the BBC in April after many years leading the British national broadcaster’s coverage of major events, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to three counts of making indecent images of children. Mr. Edwards, 62, is charged with sharing illegal images on WhatsApp. The guilty plea caps a stunning fall for the television anchor, who presented the BBC’s flagship 10 p.m. newscast and was a familiar face in many British households. In 2022, he announced to the nation that Queen Elizabeth II had died, and he presided over coverage of her funeral and the subsequent coronation of King Charles III. This is a developing story.

The paper published a photograph of Malian separatist forces holding up a Ukrainian flag, an apparent expression of solidarity with the country. The battle killed Wagner Group commander Sergei Shevchenko, Razguzra Vagnera said.
