Bangladesh violence: PM flees country and resigns

The Bangladeshi prime minister has resigned and fled the country in a helicopter after dozens more deaths in clashes between protesters, police and supporters of her government.

Sheikh Hasina is believed to have flown to neighbouring India with her sister on Monday, ending her 15 years in power. Reports suggest the army gave Hasina 45 minutes to pack and board the helicopter.

Thousands of people poured onto the streets of the capital, Dhaka, in jubilation as news of her exit spread. Some stormed Hasina’s official residence, Ganabhaban, shouting slogans, pumping fists and showing victory signs.

Isn't it funny how the BBC is reporting this in a positive way, unlike the hate they show for the people in the UK who actually pay to keep them in existence...
