Fresh unrest on England's streets

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

There've been clashes between police and protestors in Plymouth - as police say they've made almost 380 arrests in connection with violent disorder across parts of England and Northern Ireland. The former Yorkshire cricketer - Azeem Rafiq - tells us about the impact on his family in Rotherham. And we ask if far-right violence should be treated as terrorism. Also tonight: A historic day in Bangladesh as the Prime Minister resigns and flees the country - after months of student protests. The deposed PM - Sheikh Hasina - is reportedly on her way to London tonight. Will she be welcomed here? And we speak to Britain's youngest-ever chess grandmaster - the 15-year-old who counts the chancellor among those he's beaten.
