Muhammad Yunus has been sworn in as Bangladesh's interim leader. He flew into Dhaka after Sheikh Hasina - who ruled the country for 15 years - fled to India following weeks of student-led protests. We hear from someone who worked with Mr Yunus in microfinance - the field that led him to win a Nobel peace prize in 2006.

Also in our programme: as Kamala Harris draws closer in the polls, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump held his first conference since her nomination as his Democratic opponent; and the Norwegian Foreign Minister responds to Israel's decision to strip eight Norwegian diplomats of their diplomatic accreditation.
