Bangladeshis are waiting to see what unfolds, a day after Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled the country.

The country's army chief says an interim government and new elections will be announced - although there has not been much detail provided. Student leaders have said that they will not accept a military-led government.

Hasina landed in India, with unconfirmed reports she may now travel to London.

Huge crowds stormed Hasina's official residence in Dhaka on Monday, and there has also been looting and disorder in the capital.

The student protests began in July with calls to abolish civil service job quotas, but spiralled into demands for Hasina to quit after 15 years in power.
