The former pakistani Prime Minister, imran khan, has called on his supporters to protest peacefully, after he was found guilty on Corruption Charges and sentenced to three years in prison. A Court In Islamabad ruled that he had failed to declare income from the sale of gifts he received while in office. The verdict means he isnt allowed to hold Public Office for the next five years. Pakistan is just months away from a general election. From islamabad, Caroline Davies reports. Sirens blaring, police truck after police truck, arresting former Prime Minister imran khan. The judgment came from here. Police filled every corner in islamabads session court. Mr khan says that the case is politically motivated. The court said he is dishonest. So, this is after months and months of waiting, we now finally have an announcement. Imran khan has been found guilty and has been sentenced to three years� imprisonment. Outside court, shouts of, your show is over, khan. Minutes later, we heard hed been arrested. This was what happened last time mr khan was arrested. Protests, some violent. Mr khan was released, but his party faced a dramatic crackdown. Many of his senior Party Leadership were arrested, then announced that theyd left the party. Police picked up thousands of his supporters. Will the protests happen again . Imran khans Team Released this pre recorded video after hed been arrested today. Translation iwant to make one request. You should not sit quietly at home. All my struggle is not just for myself. It is for you, for the future of your kids. If you do not stand up for your rights, you will live like a slave. Outside his house, there were a small number, chanting, waving flags, then quickly taken away. Its been a matter of months, but the atmosphere in pakistan has changed. This decision will mean mr Khan Cannot Run in the upcoming elections. Its pretty useful for your party, though, that your main political opponent has just been disqualified in the run up for a general election. Well, you have to be accountable for your deeds in law. This is nothing to do with politics. A person whos been Proven Guilty by the court has to be arrested. His lawyers intend to appeal the decision but for now, the decision, but for now, mr khan is held by police and his politicalfuture is deeply uncertain. Ive been speaking to michael kugelman, from the washington based think tank wilson centre. Hes been telling me what the arrest says about the state of pakistans of pakistans political system. It really suggests that someone like imran khan, who is very popular and had become more popular over the last year or so, is not going to necessarily be able to use that popularity to catapult him to a place where he has more political clout. He fell out with the military some time ago and the military, as well as the civilian leadership, does not want him to be able to contest elections, whenever they happen. We see now that he has been arrested and indeed he has been disqualified and again it suggests that popularity does not necessarily translate to political clout in pakistans political system. And the role of the military has certainly been quite prominent in this, but lets talk about the role of the Supreme Court. Imran khan still has about 100 cases or has had about 100 cases against him. What role is the Court Playing in all of this . Certainly khans legal team will probably appeal to the Supreme Court for relief and The Last Time Khan was arrested in may the Supreme Court ruled that the arrest was illegal and he was freed just a few days after he was arrested so clearly the Khan Legal Team will be hoping perhaps the court and perhaps the Supreme Court will be willing to make a similar decision. The way in which he was arrested and convicted happened without him being present at the hearing, at the trial, his lawyers were not present, so that suggests the court might be willing that could lead to khan being freed but we dont know. There is a lot of uncertainty right now. The Supreme Court has been and will continue to be a key player in this long running political crisis. We have seen in the past what happened when imran khan has mobilised his supporters, this time he said, i have only one appeal, dont sit at home silently. I am struggling for you and the country and your childrens future. There have been protests in the past, nationwide, violent scenes. Do you think he will serve these three years in prison . Again, it is very hard to say, i think the military and civilian leadership does not want him to return to power so that suggests for them what is most important is he be disqualified from power, theoretically if he simply is arrested and he is in a jail cell he could protest elections, but if he is disqualified doesnt have that option. We will see, certainly has legal team will make efforts to see if something can change but at this point, yes, it is very true that his politicalfuture is in doubt. Lets take you to israel now. These are live pictures from tel aviv as thousands of protesters are demonstrating against the governments controversial judicial reform plans. The protests come a day after israels Supreme Court began hearing the first of a number of appeals against changes to the judicial system which have caused months of mass protests. Opponents fear the changes could undermine the countrys democratic system, tipping it into authoritarian territory. They worry that nationalist and ultra orthodox religious parties allied to mr netanyahu will be able to shape policy with unchecked power. The law would limit the Supreme Courts powers. But the government argues that the reforms are necessary to correct an imbalance in power which has seen the courts increasingly intervene in political decisions. We can speak now to yaniv roznai who is a Law Professor at Rubstein Center for constitutional challenges at reichman university, and member Israeli Law Professors Forum for democracy. Looking at the size of the protests in tel aviv its obvious how much opposition there is to that. There is concern about undermining democracy but also tells about the concern about nationalist and ultraorthodox parties elements, how does that play into this . The ultraorthodox parties elements, how does that play into this . Does that play into this . The entire aim behind the does that play into this . The entire aim behind the socalled does that play into this . The entire aim behind the socalled reform i does that play into this . The entire aim behind the socalled reform is| aim behind the so called reform is to grant the government our executive authority, absolute powers to do whatever they want. And of course this then connects to the various parties in the coalition. The orthodox and the other parties who wish to further the annexation of the territories and so i think this is all related. I think that the main problem, and this is why you see these Hundreds Of Thousands of people in the streets, is that the government, even though they passed one package of these so called reforms so four, the government has continued to say this is merely the amused dish for the rest of the reform. The problem is that we the system citizens are the goofy and they plan to change the wayjudges are elected and the Attorney General and perhaps further judicial review. We do not cbn of these reforms and that is what many of us here in israel are worried about. ~. ,. Of us here in israel are worried about. ,. ,. About. What is the alleged imbalance of ower about. What is the alleged imbalance of power they about. What is the alleged imbalance of power they are about. What is the alleged imbalance of power they are seeking about. What is the alleged imbalance of power they are seeking to of power they are seeking to correct . They say that the court, the Supreme Court has had outsized powers in limiting what it is possible to do politically. I think that our court possible to do politically. I think that our court is possible to do politically. I think that our court is indeed possible to do politically. I think that our court is indeed quite i possible to do politically. I think that our court is indeed quite a l that our court is indeed quite a strong court in comparative perspective. It has strong authorities ofjudicial review, we have very broad standing so everyone can go directly to the high court of justice. Nonetheless, two things are important to mention in that respect. The court in the last years has been extremely restrained in exercising these powers. For example the last 30 years the court has invalidated 23 provisions of laws, thatis invalidated 23 provisions of laws, that is it, almost nothing. In comparative terms. More importantly its important to understand in israel, the government already has quite a lot of power because we have had extremely flexible mechanisms of checks and balances, and which other countries. We do not have too much houses in parliament, we are not a federal system, and we are not subordinate to the European Court of human rights or others. Already the court and the Attorney General are the only bodies that can in fact check governmental powers and this is precisely why the government wants to weaken them. That is a good analysis to have. Thank you very much. Well be monitoring those protests. And well stay in tel aviv, but on a different story. Police in israel say an israeli man has been critically wounded in what they describe as a suspected Terrorist Attack in tel aviv. The police say the alleged gunman was also shot and is receiving medical treatment. The latest violence comes after two palestinian teenagers were killed in the occupied west bank on friday. Two suspects have been arrested over the killing of a 19 year old palestinian man who was shot dead as Israeli Settlers attacked a palestinian village. Ukraine has warned that six Russian Black Sea ports will be considered a War Risk Area from the 23rd august. For the second day running, ukraine has used a sea drone, loaded with hundreds of kilos of explosives, to attack russian shipping in the black sea. In the latest strike, a fuel tanker was hit south of the bridge across the kerch strait. This unverified video was sent to the bbc by a Ukrainian Security service source, which they say shows the moment of attack. The vessel is under us sanctions for delivering jet fuel to the Russian Military in syria. Moscow accused kyiv of a Terrorist Attack. Ukraine said the attack took place in its own territorial waters. On friday, a Russian Naval vessel was towed into port in novorossiysk after a similar attack. Its been two months since Ukrainian Forces launched their long awaited Counter Offensive aimed at pushing the invading Russian Forces out of the areas theyve seized. The uk, the us and other western nations have invested heavily in these efforts, donating billions of pounds of military equipment, and training soldiers. So, two months on, how is ukraine coping against formidable russian defences . The bbc� s security correspondent Frank Gardner has worked with bbc verify to assess what progress is being made. Right, so, this is what the map looks like 18 months on after the full scale russian invasion last year. If it looks familiar, thats because it is. It really hasnt changed that much since last november, with the russian occupied areas shaded in red. Now, in orderfor ukraines counteroffensive to succeed, it needs to cut the russian area in two. Now, earlier this summer, in earlyjune, south of the city, the town of orikhiv, there was a battle. The russian defensive lines are in black here. Lets have a zoom in and look. Here you can see the russian defensive lines, heavily mined, interspersed trenches, artillery, bunkers, very hard for ukraine to get through all of that. This verified Drone Footage here shows what happened when a ukrainian armoured patrol ran into a minefield. Some of the close up stuff is, frankly, too graphic to show. But the point is that these minefields and russian defences are so heavy, theyre so intense, that it makes it very slow going for the ukrainians to advance southwards. And the russians have been quite innovative in some of the things theyve done. So this, for example, is their tm62 anti tank mine. Now, some of ukraines armour will withstand a strike by one of these, but not by two. So what are the russians do . Theyre putting two of them, one on top of another, to blow up through the hull of a ukrainian armoured vehicle. And this footage here shows a whole bunch of these russian anti tank mines that have disabled a western supplied tank. Another weapon that the russians are using very effectively is the alligator, the ka52 attack helicopter. So each time ukraines armour gets bogged down in minefields, the russians call these up to fire their rockets, their guided missiles. Heres some video footage, Cockpit Footage from one of those, in conjunction with artillery. So given all these factors, plus the fact that ukraine does not have air cover, how successful could this Counter Offensive actually be . The Ukrainian Forces wanted to retake all the occupied territories, including crimea. I do not think that that will happen any time soon, especially in light of what were seeing right now. What ukraine does have in its favour, though, is some very powerful western supplied weaponry, such as, for example, the storm shadow long range missile, british supplied. And these are allowing ukraine to hit distant targets like fuel depots, ammunition storage points, command and control centres, trying to undermine russias defences from within. But, you know, the problem here is that all of this takes time and thats a luxury ukraine doesnt have. Within three months, the rainy season will have arrived, turning a lot of the roads into mud, making it difficult for ukraine to advance. By the time spring comes around, well be into the us Electoral Cycle and thats going to make it that much harder for ukraine to get the same level of military and financial support. So it needs to show tangible results and quickly. Frank gardner, bbc news. And one more story from the ukrainian capital kyiv, where work is under way to install the national symbol, the trident on the massive ukrainian motherland monument. The workers are replacing the soviet coat of arms installed on the shield of the giant statue. This is a controversial project that divided ukrainian society. Replacement costs nearly a million of us dollars, a million us dollars, a huge amount of money for the budget of the country at war. At times when people are crowdfunding for uniforms and drones for the front line soldiers, some think it is an unnecessary spent. It is an unnecessary spend. Unseasonable weather has hit parts of europe, with flooding in slovenia and austria. Whilst storm antoni has been passing over large parts of britain and ireland. Our reporter Nicky Schiller has been monitoring whats happening across europe. Yes, nancy. As you say, Unseasonable Summer Weather has hit large parts of europe. I want to take you first to georgia and show you some pictures there, as the search for survivors continues after a deadly landslide on thursday. You can see there a torrent of mud swept down that valley. 11 people died and dozens are feared missing. The army has been brought in to try and help find them. The good news is that 200 people were evacuated to safety. Now, if we move to slovenia next, there has been Torrential Rain there. A months worth of rain fell in 2a hours, hitting the north east and centre of the country. Now, three people died. There has been a meeting of the National Security council and afterwards, the Prime Minister said it was the worst Natural Disaster in slovenias recent history, since independence over 30 years ago. He said the scale of the damage from the floods is estimated to exceed half A Billion Euros and a clear up operation is under way there. Now, slovenias neighbours, austria, have also been hit by Torrential Rain. We can show you pictures there, where they have been a large amount of saturated land and that meant that there has been flooding, people taking to boats even, to be able to get evacuated out to safety and a lot of damage to Residential Properties and a lot of people using sandbags to try and protect them. Now, elsewhere in europe, i want to move to dublin in ireland now, where there has been a Rescue Operation there. Again, the Emergency Services bringing in inflatable boats to take eight people to safety. Now, ireland and large parts of the United Kingdom have been hit by storm antoni, the first named storm of the year so far in the uk and ireland and a number of events have been cancelled in the uk and there have been strong winds as well in parts of wales and southwest england. Finally, i want to take you to germany and one city there has had to bring out snowplows. Let me show you these pictures. Its because there has been a freak Violent Storm dumping large quantities of hail in the streets of reutlingen. And in one case, there was 30 centimetres built up of thick, thick hail. And as you can see there, the Snowploughs Being deployed. So, nancy, definitely a case across large parts of europe at the moment that there is definitely not weather you would associate with summer. Bangladesh is grappling with a record deadly outbreak of dengue fever, with hospitals struggling to make space for patients as the disease spreads rapidly in the densely populated country. At least 293 people have died so far in 2023 and nearly 61,500 infected, according to official figures, making, this the deadliest year since the first recorded epidemic in 2000. I spoke to our south asia regional editor, anbarasan ethirajan, who gave us a sense ofjust how serious this is. Bangladesh is witnessing one of the highest number of cases, as well as the number of deaths in connection with the dengue fever this season. Since the beginning of the year, nearly 300 people have died. Thats a record number. And what the patients in the capital city, dhaka, are talking about is not finding enough space in hospitals because they are overcrowded. There are a lot of people going in for treatment. The interesting thing is this disease, which is spread through infected mosquitoes, when you have a mosquito bite, you get this infection, there is no treatment for it. And also, the development of a vaccine is at an early stage. Many developing countries do not have this vaccine. So you have to have a normal medicine thats like a painkiller. But most people get cured. Nearly 90 of them, very few have to go to the hospital. But the number of infections is so high that is putting a heavy burden. And that is why experts are talking about how to reduce this infection by controlling this mosquito infestation, because they say wherever there is a stagnant water, that is a Breeding Ground for these mosquitoes and they get infected by this virus and then they pass it on to the humans. And there are a number of reasons people are pointing out. Poor health infrastructure, rapid unplanned urbanisation, allowing these mosquitoes to breed. And these kind of places where like when you see a garbage dump, a rubbish dump, and that is also adding to these mosquitoes growing in numbers and people are being advised to wear full clothes, even while during sleeping, during the day, and use mosquito nets. And that is the one only way to prevent from getting this infection. Thousands of uk scouts are leaving an International Event in south korea that has been hit by extreme heat. Hundreds have fallen ill at the outdoor world Scout Jamboree, which is attended by more than 40,000 young people from around the world, amid 35 degree heat. Jean mackenzie, reports from seoul. As the sun pounded the campsite, the uk scouts packed their bags and boarded buses, bound for more Comfortable Hotel rooms. You can see just how little respite this campsite has from the scorching sun. But one of the uk team members who i spoke to earlier said this decision to pull out the british scouts wasntjust because of this extreme heat. It was also because of concerns about the facilities and the food. They were no longer confident that they could keep everyone here safe. The uk Scout Contingent is being relocated this weekend to seoul, back to hotels and hostels there. In common with the americans, who i believe are going to another site, and so on. They are going to try and arrange some kind of Alternative Programme of events. But the remaining scouts we spoke to are happy to still be here. Its very hot here, but its still fun. We are learning a lot of new people and we are making the best out of it. Blancas sister was taken to hospital because of the heat, but shes recovering. And so are the conditions, she says. The british scouts have all been pulled out. How do you feel about that . I am sad that they didnt stay. And they are really cool people. And i am sad for theml that they had to leave, because i really enjoy spending time with them. The organisers are now desperately trying to stop others from jumping ship. At this Press Conference earlier, the Prime Minister announced he was sending more medical staff, along with a 700 strong army of workers to maintain the toilets and showers. Thats good enough for the chilean contingent, who plan to dance to the end. Jean mackenzie, bbc news, buan in south korea.

It was cool, it was windy. You can see big waves crashing onto the south coast of england. There were some really heavy bursts of rain. That was the scene for a Weather Watcher in staffordshire. Its all thanks to storm antoni, this swirl of cloud, this storm system named by the met office. But the area of low pressure responsible will be sliding eastwards as we head through tonight and into tomorrow. So tomorrow should be a somewhat drier and brighter day. Still some areas of cloud and some splashes of Rain Across Eastern Parts of england as we head through the night. Further west will see clear skies, some showers feeding in across some Western Parts and temperatures actually dropping away. Its going to be quite a cool and fresh night, seven, eight or nine degrees, and thats in some of the towns and cities out in the countryside. It may getJust A Little Bit chillier than that, but after that, quite cool fresh start, a sunday will see this area of High Pressure trying to build. Its not going to be a completely dry day, but on balance, it should be a drier and a brighter day than saturday has been. So some clouds, some rain, a bit of a breeze across Eastern England for a time. Further west, sunny spells and showers. Some of the showers heavy, possibly thundery, particularly across parts of scotland. A slightly warmer day for many 17,18 or 19 degrees. That is still a bit below par in most locations. Now, as we look ahead to monday, i think well see more in the way of dry weather, spells of sunshine, not as many showers at this stage. Later in the day, a bit more cloud roll in across the south west of england, parts of wales and northern ireland, ahead of some splashes of rain. Temperatures, again, Just A Little Bit higher, 16 to 21 degrees. But as we head deeper into the coming week, initially well have some frontal systems bringing a little bit of rain here and there. But High Pressure looks set to build later in the week, this High Pressure building to the south east of us. And that will allow us to tap into some warmer air. Well be drawing that up from the south. And so temperatures around the middle part of the week, wednesday and particularly into thursday will begin to climb. Some places are likely to get into the middle. 20 celsius could be looking at highs of 26 degrees or maybe a little higher than that. But it might not last because rain is set to return by the very end of the week. This is bbc news.
