Coming up on SBS World News, Iran faces further sanctions from the US and EU in response to the weekend strikes on Israel.

Flights disrupted in Dubai as torrential rain causes chaos.

And members of the public race to help save artworks from a fire at a beloved Copenhagen landmark.

Good evening.

The global diplomatic response to Iran's retaliatory attack on Israel is ramping up, with the US and European Union planning to impose new sanctions on Iran.

Israel's military has reportedly decided on how it will counter strike, but hasn't yet settled on when.

Flanked by fresh army recruits, Israel's Prime Minister leaves no doubt who his messaging is directed to.

Despite calls for restraint from world leaders, Israel has made clear the country will counter strike

after Iran launched an attack involving hundreds of drones and missiles at the weekend.

US intelligence reportedly suggesting Israel is considering a narrow and limited strike inside Iranian territory.

We are not in the business of revenge.

It's not the question of revenge.

It's the question of making it quite clear no one ever will be able to attack Israel without consequences.

Iran says its attack was in response to a suspected Israeli strike that destroyed its embassy in Syria, killing two Iranian generals two weeks ago.

In a call to Qatar's emir, Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi warned the smallest action against Iran's interests will be met with a severe, extensive and painful response.

It is an ongoing process of trying to reduce tensions in the region and try to maintain as much calm as possible.

The US says it'll soon impose new sanctions on Iran's missile and drone program, with the European Union also working on its own measures of diplomatic punishment.

Israel is already fighting on many fronts.

The IDF says strikes in southern Lebanon killed three Hezbollah fighters, including two commanders.

And as the prospect of a new war looms, Israel's current offensive in Gaza is well into its sixth month.

Palestinian health officials say an Israeli airstrike overnight killed at least eleven people, including three children at a central Gaza refugee camp.

Oh world, oh world, it's unlawful.

It's unlawful to kill our brothers and sisters.

It's unlawful.

The UN reporting at least nineteen thousand Palestinian children have been orphaned, with one child wounded or dead every ten minutes.

And despite more aid being allowed into northern Gaza, the UN says it's still struggling to prevent famine, with aid deliveries facing significant checkpoint delays.

Catalina Flores, SBS, World News.

New South Wales police have revealed that fifty eight police officers were treated for injuries and more than fifty police cars were damaged during an outbreak of violence sparked after an Assyrian bishop was attacked in Western Sydney on Monday night.

A short time ago, police made their first arrest.

A nineteen year old was taken into custody.

Investigations are ongoing as community leaders try to calm tensions.

Jacqueline Georges came to Australia from Iraq forty years ago, one of thousands of Assyrian Christians who fled religious persecution.

Monday night's events are something she never thought she'd see again.

This is two nights I haven't slept at all.

Suddenly, after all these years, that problem that we run away from, it follows us here.

A violent act unfolding on a live online broadcast.

Bishop Mahmadi Emmanuel attacked while giving a sermon.

Violence followed on the streets outside the church, an estimated six hundred people involved.

More than fifty police officers were injured and vehicles damaged.

I was shocked.

because the people that they were there, they weren't from that congregation.

They just came from everywhere that we don't know, and they acted something that is un Australian, un Assyrian, un Christian.

The cleanup here at the scene has begun.

The church remains closed.

Community leaders across faiths and politics continuing to call for calm as investigations into both the attack and the ensuing chaos continue.

The sixteen year old arrested over the attack remains in hospital without charge, his father fleeing over feared reprisals.

He didn't know what to do.

He didn't know who to go to.

He felt like if he went home, he was scared that he was either going to get arrested or someone would take retaliation on him.

Local leaders questioning whether tensions were worsened by police designating the attack a terrorist incident.

My concern is not so much the need for it to be called a terrorist act.

My concern is are we just playing the narrative of the stereotype that every time a Muslim is involved in any form of act of violence, it's labelled terrorism.

Authorities today defending their decision.

I was satisfied based on the information that was provided very early Tuesday morning that it met that criteria and I made that declaration without any hesitation.

It's not a performative gesture.

We're not interested in labelling one crime higher than another crime in New South Wales.

That designation needed to happen to unlock powers for New South Wales Police to investigate this crime.

Flowers and candles sitting at the scene as locals continue to pray for peace.

Alexandra Jones, SBS World News.

Well, for the first time, Solomon Islanders have voted in joint national and provincial elections, with caretaker Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare aiming for a fifth term in office.

The incumbent has pledged to strengthen diplomatic ties with China, and that's sparked concern among regional neighbours.

In particular, Australia and the US.

Observers from across the country and abroad have praised the voting process.

SBS reporter Rochelle Harrison Pless is in Honiara.

The morning sun welcomed voters who flocked to polling stations across Honiara, relishing their chance to have their say.

It's very important for me and it's part of my right to cast my vote, to choose a new leader that will hear our voice, our complaints.

and maybe we look forward for a better development for this new government.

Voters, young and old, up early to cast their ballots.

I feel better because today is very important because it's election day.

Local election observers were joined by their counterparts from the G Seven Plus mission and from across Melanesia.

Lasaro Naivalu is the sole representative from Fiji, and it's his first time observing an election.

We've seen a great voter turnout.

We've also seen quite a number of youths in the polling venues and polling stations, and females.

A lot of female voters we've seen lining up in the polling stations, so it shows inclusivity in the process.

Australia is also represented through the High Commission, as well as a team of researchers from ANU.

Well, Australia's been very happy to partner with Solomon Islands on this election.

Of course, we both have shared democratic values, and at the invitation of the Solomon Islands government, Australia has put forward a substantial and comprehensive package of support to make sure this election today is a success.

The election has, however, been hit by growing concerns of disinformation and misinformation.

Local media executives say that has increased since the previous general election in twenty nineteen.

For us now, it's because of social media.

So many are now using it.

Currently, we have about what, thirty percent of the Solomon Islanders have access to the Internet.

The rest is still not on the net.

But once we get there, that will be more challenging for us if we are not prepared for it.

Security has been beefed up for this vote given previous post election unrest.

The AFP bolstering local police working as part of an international assistance force alongside partners from Fiji, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

And our reporter Rochelle Harrison Pless joins us now from Honiara.

Good evening, Rochelle.

When can we expect a result from these elections?

Well, not just yet, Janice, and that's because electoral officials must start with a verification of the ballot boxes.

And only then can the vote counting begin tomorrow.

And that's just for the provincial elections.

Once the provincial results are tallied, they can move on to the national votes.

Now, after an election, deals are cut, allegiances are formed, and a new ruling coalition is formed.

The gathered MPs will then come to an agreement about who should be the next Prime Minister.

So there's a lot going on for now, and Janice, it could be days or even weeks before we learn of an official result.

Thanks so much.

That's Rochelle Harrison Place updating us from Honiara on the Solomon Islands election.

Well, in Georgia, riot police have arrested several people and moved protesters away from Parliament in Tbilisi.

As politicians inside debated a new divisive law dubbed the Foreign Agent Bill.

Thousands took to the streets to protest the law, which would require media and non commercial organisations to register as being under foreign influence if they receive more than twenty percent of their funding from abroad.

Opponents have denounced it, calling it the Russian law because of similar legislation used by Moscow.

Denmark is mourning the loss of four hundred years of cultural history after a fire tore through one of the oldest buildings in Copenhagen.

The old stock exchange known as the Bersun in Danish was home to priceless works of art.

Members of the public helped firefighters save some of the treasures inside.

A site that brought Danes to tears.

One of Copenhagen's best loved buildings, dating back to the seventeenth century, up in flames.

The iconic dragon spire had been part of the city's skyline since sixteen twenty five.

As the fire raged, members of the public helped save priceless works of art.

The building was home to a substantial collection.

This is an ateen ninety five piece by one of Denmark's most celebrated artists, P.S.

Kroyer.

That was such a touching moment to hold the Danish national history in your hands and to grasp the seriousness of this terrible, terrible fire.

Firefighters struggled to access the main hall because of the old copper roof.

As a result, museum chiefs say the damage is severe.

A four hundred years old building, very much, I mean, the majority of it made of wood is just a terribly fragile structure.

The building was being renovated and had been covered in scaffolding.

The cause of the blaze is not yet known.

It's home to the Danish Chamber of Commerce and is popular with tourists, as it's located near the Christiansborg Palace.

It's terrible.

I can't even put a word on what the stock exchange means to us as a building and a property in Copenhagen.

In that way, it's a cultural history that has been lost for four hundred years, not just from Copenhagen, but also from Denmark.

the inferno a shock for locals on their way to work.

I can't really explain, it's just a building, but it means so much to us Copenhageners.

We lost something big today.

We did.

Many are likening the loss to that suffered by the French when Notre Dame was ablaze five years ago.

That famous cathedral has almost been rebuilt and the Burson will likely be too.

But for the moment, experts are still trying to establish exactly what has been saved and what has been lost.
