Meanwhile, russias Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has used his address to the Unted Nations General Assembely in new york to criticise the unites states, nato and the European Union for trying to force the world to play according to their own self centered rules. The collective west has a calling card and it has long been to reject the principle of equality and their Total Inability to reach agreement. Being used to looking down at the rest of the world, americans and europeans make all sorts of promises and they take on commitments, inter alia, written ones and legally binding ones, and then theyjust dont fulfill them. As President Putin pointed out, the west is one that is truly an empire of lies. Russia, like many countries, knows about this first hand. For more on this im joined by phillips obrien, professor of strategic studies at St Andrews University welcome to you. Good to have your own. What you make of the comments of Sergey Lavrov . To be as expected . On the one hand absolutely to be expected, his audience was the global south which is not as invested in the ukraine war as european states or the United States so hes trying to speak to them in a language that would appeal to them by saying the west have been released to you in the past and now they are being released to us and this is their system. On the other hand,it this is their system. On the other hand, it was a speech that would you say really comes from a Point Of View of weakness on ukraine but he could not even mention the war, no discussion of russia wasnt right to invade ukraine or the annexation of ukraine, the parts of ukraine so in that sense really running away from the story of the moment which is the fact that the russian army is in ukraine and fighting a huge war, so i think we have to say its expected. White mikey also said ukraines Peace Formula is completely not feasible so what do you mean by that . Is that about president zelensky saying every inch of ukraine for a piece to be declared . He also said ukraines Peace Formula is completely not feasible so what do you mean by that . Is that about president zelensky saying every inch of ukraine for a piece to be declared . That is right. And they said that this can be achieved in russia leave ukraine and pointers now against International Law but annex in parts of ukraine, they say they are now part of russia and the visions of a peace treaty now are too far away and neither side has any sort of recess and so i think Sergey Lavrov was simply saying i do not think there will be a peace deal because i will not. Saying do not think there is a peace deal. The will not. Saying do not think there is a peace deal. The point is to cive there is a peace deal. The point is to give kyiv there is a peace deal. The point is to give kyiv of there is a peace deal. The point is to give kyiv of longrange there is a peace deal. The point is| to give kyiv of longrange missiles to give kyiv of long range missiles so tells what difference they can make and what they are. So tells what difference they can make and what they are. Unlike what weve been hearing make and what they are. Unlike what weve been hearing about make and what they are. Unlike what weve been hearing about the make and what they are. Unlike what weve been hearing about the past i weve been hearing about the past few weeks, these ones are usually just ground brace, fired from a system in they are long range, longer than Storm Shadows which are 250 kilometres and these ones are 300 so they are a bit longer range and very explosive, carrying a big punch so it willjust add greater range to the Ukrainian Campaign on crimea and what youre hearing now is a real Concerted Campaign on crimea and that is something they can make a really big difference on, simply anything on crimea and they can do a great deal of damage. Reports suggest a small number made be delivered but how many would it take to actually make a difference and change what is happening in favour of Ukraine Substantively . fix, favour of Ukraine Substantively . Few things it could do and what ukrainians are trying to do is basically isolate crimea and the way you isolate crimea is twofold, you do what they have been doing the last few weeks which is to go up against the Black Sea Fleet in sevastopol. Theyve been doing this with the shadow missiles and it would add to that with these ones as they really try to make sevastopol uninhabitable for the russian navy. The next thing you have to do is cut the Carrots Ridge cut the kerch bridge. That is something that these weapons would be better off and that is what you think the plan would be for the ukrainian Point Of View is to cut the kerch bridge, you have cut crimea or from to cut the kerch bridge, you have Cut Crimea Orfrom russia. Throughout this conflict, as the west has been giving more advanced weapons to ukraine is in constant concern as to how russia could respond and fears it could tip them over into some kind of nuclear reaction. How do you think russia could respond if these are given to ukraine by the us . The . Could respond if these are given to ukraine by the us . Ukraine by the us . They will complain ukraine by the us . They will complain internationally ukraine by the us . They will. Complain internationally about ukraine by the us . They will complain internationally about what they have done with the Storm Shadows and Everything Else is nothing. And that is because they cant do anything. The escalation here has been shown to be one of the great fig leafs of this war that the russian state cannot afford to just go nuclear, that is a cataclysmic decision and its one that russias allies are desperate not to see, be it china or indeed russias friends such as india, they dont want to see a nuclear fire such as india, they dont want to see a nuclearfire by such as india, they dont want to see a nuclear fire by russia so the idea that russia might get angry and accelerate or escalate up to Nuclear Weapons has very, very little reality to it and what we see and is what your reporter reported last night, the attack On Sevastopol yesterday did not even make the news. , , yesterday did not even make the news. ,. ,. , ~. , news.

Here in the uk, dozens of Business Leaders have written to the government expressing deep concern over what they call the � constant uncertainty� which they say plagues the hs2 High Speed Rail Link. The former Prime Minister borisjohnson has also warned ministers not to in his words � mutilate the project by scrapping the birmingham to manchester leg. Rishi sunak has refused to deny he might scale back hs2 because of spiralling costs. Noor nanji, reports. Its a massive, decades long project, meant to create more capacity and speed up journey times. But hs2 has also been plagued by delays, cuts and spiralling costs. It was only earlier this year the government announced it was pausing work on the new Central London terminus here at euston. Now question marks are hanging over the line that links the West Midlands and crewe, before moving on to manchester. Recently, the Prime Minister rishi sunak and Chancellorjeremy Hunt have not been willing to say that they are committed to hs2 being built to manchester, casting fresh doubt over the projects future. The Labour Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves has also refused to commit. In a letter to government, Business Leaders and Companies Including manchester airports group, british land, virgin money and the northern powerhouse, have called for clarification and renewed commitment to hs2. The letter expresses deep concern over the constant uncertainty over the project, adding that repeated mixed signals were damaging the uks reputation as a place to do business. I hope the Prime Minister takes the weekend to reflect on being a northern mp and what he should be putting first. The future of the country, or the short term interests of the conservative party. Because former tory leaders and britains leading Business People are all telling him he needs to think again before he makes what might be his worst decision as Prime Minister. Today, the chair of the National Infrastructure commission warned against truncating the line. The importance of this railway line is that it connects the three principal cities in britain, london, birmingham, manchester. Its a significant part of the governments levelling up agenda, it has already started to create big opportunities in birmingham and it will do the same in manchester and across the north west. It will link into the governments new railway which it is planning to build between manchester and leeds. This is a fundamental part of levelling up. And to stop it now would be a tragedy. Former Prime Minister borisjohnson has also weighed in, urging the government against building a mutilated version of hs2. On thursday, the chancellor insisted no decisions had been made, but once again the route ahead for hs2 seems uncertain. Noor nanji, bbc news. The comedian and actor Russell Brand says it has been � an Extraordinary And Distressing week� after rape and Sexual Assault allegations were made against him. In a video published on social media he thanked his fans for their support and criticised news outlets, the government, and tech companies. Ellie price reports. Hello there, you awakening wonders. A direct appeal to supporters, with no direct mention of the allegations against him. Obviously it� s been an Extraordinary And Distressing week and i thank you very much for your support and for questioning the information that you� ve been presented with. In this three minute video, Russell Brand talks instead about Media Corruption and collusion. I need your support now more than ever and more than i ever imagined i would. July the ist 2012 was when my rape happened. This week Russell Brand faced allegations of rape and Sexual Assault following claims made by four women in the channel 4 Dispatches Programme and the times and sunday times. He denies the claims and insists his relationships have always been consensual. The bbc has also heard from one woman who said the comedian exposed himself to her in a bathroom in this building in los angeles where he was recording his radio 2 programme. He then joked about the alleged incident minutes later on air. By now you� re probably aware that the British Government has asked Big Tech Platforms to censor our online content and that some Online Platforms have complied. Youtube has now suspended Russell Brand from making money from adverts after it said he had violated its creator responsibility policy. Online retailer asos has asked for its adverts to be pulled on rumble, the digital platform on which mr brand plans to post his next video on monday. The bbc has made several requests to talk to mr brand over the past week but he has avoided questions and scrutiny, choosing instead to speak directly to his followers on social media. But the questions keep coming. And the investigations into his alleged behaviour continue. Please, if you can, stay free. Ellie price, bbc news. The International Red cross says it� s managed to deliver seventy tonnes of relief aid to the disputed enclave Nagorno Karabakh for the First Time Since azerbaijan captured the territory in a lightning operation five days ago. Tens of thousands of armenians have sought refuge in the main city stepanakert, where food and medicine are running low, and power cuts are frequent. Tonnes of relief aid to the disputed enclave Nagorno Karabakh live now to rayhan demytrie, who is our correspondent In The South Caucasus and central asia. If the ceasefire holds it could mark the end of a conflict between armenia and azerbaijan that has raged, off and on, through the three decades since the collapse of the soviet union is the sense that it could hold . Well, the Ceasefire Agreement on wednesday and now what is happening is the process of disarmament because that was part of the Ceasefire Agreement that Karabakh Armenians agreed to lay down their arms and this process is ongoing today with the Minister Of Defence is ongoing today with the Minister Of Defence of our site and of azerbaijan seeing it so far. All eyes are on the humanitarian situation in Nagorno Karabakh itself in the original capital where there are thousands of people who were displaced by the conflict and as we speak, they are in the basement with no electricity and no heating, very little food and lots of uncertainty.

Not enough food or medical supplies, the convoy we sent in to day did drop off some medical supplies and also dropped off body bags, not so pleasant to think about what an important aspect of this as a dignified management of the dead so it is a well rounded humanitarian effort from our team are past few days.

As your report has already highlighted, the humanitarian situation, the lower levels of food, the low levels of medicine, i don� t have an expectation to share per se but one of our approaches is to work with other nations that might be our partners with the governments involved here and remind the governments involved that they do have a humanitarian duty that medical supplies must be allowed through, food must be allowed through, food must be allowed through and anyone wounded or sick must be allowed to receive medical care so this kind of conversations do take place with other nations that might be involved in this region. That might be involved in this reuion. ~ , president xijinping has opened the asian games in the eastern city chinese city of hangzhou.

Well, we are firing the starting gun for the next General Election. The partys in great heart after so many by election victories in tory heartlands, showing that in large parts of the country, it is the Liberal Democrats who are the ones who can beat the conservatives. So Party Members are very buoyant, as youve seen, and we are looking forward to lively debates. We will be debating our pre manifesto. The only party putting forward a Draft Manifesto this early on, to set out our vision. We want a fair deal for the british people, and we are going to focus on the economy, and particularly on the health service. We want to give people a much Better Health service and a better care system too. And already the Liberal Democrats have been splashing the cash this weekend, coming up with some big Policy Announcement in the first one offering free Personal Care to all, saying that they will get all the care they need at home and saying that save them an awful lot of money but it does, is a net cost of £3 billion, not clear how they will fund that and also not clear how they will fund another major policy they� ve announced today which is to announce that my offer all major parents.

Now his story has been turned into a film, with Sir Michael Caine in the lead role. Leanne rinney went to meet him. Where is he . He� s disappeared off the face of the earth. Hes in france. At 90 . Well, he has done it before, only then, of course, they were shooting at him. It� s a true story of courage and determination that shocked and inspired the world. Bernard jordan escaped from his care home in hove to join the 70th Anniversary of the d day landings in france in 2014, and now, nearly a decade later, actor Sir Michael Caine is bringing bernard� s great escape to the big screen. I am an ex soldier, first of all. But i was in the army, in the national service, and i was sent to korea, so i know what the Second World War was like, because it was exactly the same. We were in trenches opposite the koreans and chinese in a valley, and so i understood the way he felt, because ijust happen to be an ex soldier, and like him, i was 90. And also, speaking from a professional actor� s Point Of View, you don� t get many leading roles at 90. Sadly, Bernard Jordan died the year after his Famous French Adventure at the age of 90, but in one of his last interviews, he told us how he pulled off his one man mission. With a bit of deception. What did they say when you got back . They said, dont make a habit of this. I said, im not the sort of chap to do that, now. Honours the glorious dead. What a waste. The great escaper is in cinemas on the 6th of october. Leanne rinnie, bbc news. I wonderful tribute to Bernard Jordan. Just before we go.

In many parts of the uk, Cloud Amounts have been increasing during today, Signalling A Change for the rest of the weekend. Some warmer but wetter and windier weather on the way. It� s all thanks to a Weather System that contains the remnants of what was hurricane nigel. Certainly not a hurricane any more but providing an injection of tropical moisture into this area of low pressure. Some very heavy rain across some Western Areas as we head through tonight. Further pulses of rain returning to the South West Of England and wales later on, quite windy for a time, particularly around western coasts and much, much milder than it was last night. By the end of the night, we will be between 10 and 16 degrees. Sunday morning starting on a mild note but with low pressure firmly in charge, a couple of different Frontal Systems which will provide some outbreaks of very heavy rain. This rain tending to affect western and northern parts of the country, so western england, wales, Northern Ireland, Western Scotland seeing some outbreaks of rain. Further south and east, more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine and actually with the southerly winds it is going to feel pretty warm in the south east corner. Large swathes actually of england and wales up to 20 or 21 degrees, even further north could see 18, 19, 20 across some northern parts of scotland. As we head through sunday evening, this band of very heavy, squally rain pushing across South West England and wales. Northern ireland very wet for a time and that rain really setting in across scotland, perhaps enough rain for some flooding and disruption. Gusts of wind of 50 or 60 mph. Through sunday night into monday, that Frontal System sweeps away eastwards but low pressure will still be firmly in charge of our weather, so for monday, yes, there will be spells of sunshine, i think parts of england and wales will stay dry but Northern Ireland and scotland seeing some pretty hefty showers, it stays quite windy. Temperatures of 15 to 22 degrees, so broadly speaking above the norm for the time of year. Then as we head towards the middle part of the week we will have to keep a close eye on this one. A developing area of low pressure. Huge uncertainty aboutjust how deep this low might become, exactly where it will move across the uk, but the chance for some very heavy rain and possibly some very strong winds around the middle part of the week. Broadly speaking, a very unsettled week ahead. This is bbc news, the headlines.
