The ruling means hell be dismissed as an mp and forbidden to stand for Public Office before 2028 he denies any wrongdoing and is challenging the decision in the Islamabad High Court on wednesday. On sunday mr khan began serving his three year sentence in a jail in the city of attock. Live now to islamabad and the bbc� s caroline davies. Its been quite a dramatic few months for them on con when he was first arrested and then release. We saw all his imran khan. Arrested at the weekend. This latest announcement doesnt really come as announcement doesnt really come as a huge surprise. M0 announcement doesnt really come as a huge surprise a huge surprise. No in fact when he was sentenced a huge surprise. No in fact when he was sentenced on a huge surprise. No in fact when he was sentenced on saturday a huge surprise. No in fact when he was sentenced on saturday we a huge surprise. No in fact when he l was sentenced on saturday we knew immediately he would probably be disqualified. I think what many people, his supporters and leaders hope for is in the course of the next few days they might be able to find some form of relief, they might be able to delay this whole process. It wasnt entirely clear how quickly the commission would move to disqualify him altogether. Within just a few days they have moved to disqualify him and we now know that for five years he will not be able to hold Public Office and not be able to lead his party, the pti party which leaves a lot of questions. Firstly, that expectation of the general election expected this year by the constitution it needs to be early november. If imran khan is not leading his party he has represented his party, he founded his party, the emblem of the pti is a cricket bat. The fact that he is not leading his party really does mean for the major opposition will not be standing in a very meaningful way unless someone elses able to take the reins and give it a different direction. Is probably one of the last hopes imran khan, his lawyers and supporters had was that they might be able to create some sort of delay. The fact he is been disqualified really means theres a Big Uphill Struggle if imran khan is going to find any way to contest the elections.

If you speak to Government Ministers they are saying its because peoples attitudes towards imran khan have changed, they dont feel support after they saw what happened on the 9th of may. If you speak to the pti and analyst they say people have ventured out onto the streets is because we saw such a dramatic crackdown back in the 9th of may when he was arrested before. Subsequently we Saw Tens Of Thousands of his supporters, ten thousands of his supporters, ten thousands are more were arrested, which are a large number of his Senior Leadership arrested and many decided to leave the party altogether. That has really depleted the pti. Many people have said that because the army came out so forcefully, the authorities after the night they are clearly not going to tolerate this. Many people thought they are not going to take the risk income onto the street. That doesnt mean that no one has come out and that hasnt been any form of protest. We were able to speak to a officer or contact who are guarantee of anonymity told us they knew they had been at least 100 arrests of pti supporters. We know theres been some form of support but not on the scale that we saw backin but not on the scale that we saw back in may.

Residents of the state of ohio are voting on proposals to make changes to the states constitution in a referendum more difficult. The vote was called ahead of a november referendum backed by pro choice advocates on enshrining Abortion Rights in 0hios constitution. Last year, the state banned the termination of pregnancies after six weeks but this was challenged in court after doctors refused to treat a ten year old rape victim. Live now to to washington and our North America correspondent nomia iqbal. We are seeing both President Trump and us President Joe Biden theyre speaking at the same time at two different rallies into different parts of the country. But at the same time this vote is also taking place in ohio. It same time this vote is also taking place in 0hi0 same time this vote is also taking place in ohio. It does feel like the Election Campaign place in ohio. It does feel like the Election Campaign is place in ohio. It does feel like the Election Campaign is already place in ohio. It does feel like the | Election Campaign is already begun with trump and biden on the trail, essentially. Abortion we know is a big issue. If you remember the midterm elections, that is cited as one of the reasons why the republicans didnt do as well as they thought they were going to do in those elections. Remember the democrats held on to the senate, the republicans just narrowly held onto the house. Just to recap what you said, the background this, this started when roe v wade was overturned in the summer, 0hio started when roe v wade was overturned in the summer, ohio was one of those states that moved to ban abortion at six weeks. There was news of a ten year old girl, a rape victim who was denied medical care in ohio, across state lines and this sparked a lawsuit which put a band to that abortion ban. You had pro choice advocates draught this amendment to the constitution, basically looking at trying to enshrine Abortion Rights in the constitution. At the same time republican lawmakers which make up the State Legislature in ohio, they introduced a Ballot Measure which is taking place today. It basically says to voters, i dont want to get too much into the weeds but it says you voters, asked them if the threshold of vote required to amend the constitution should be raised to 60 at the moment if you want to amend this constitution is a simple majority of 51 . Pro choice advocates are saying this is cynical. Republicans are doing this because they look to other states and seeing that the move to enshrine Abortion Rights have been successful, other republican state so that they set this to date to make that Schedule Vote in november to enshrine Abortion Rights harder to enshrine Abortion Rights harder to pass. They are accusing them of basically setting though goalpost today in order to stop Abortion Rights from being enshrined in the constitution in november. Doing it in a backhanded way. Republicans are saying nonsense, we arejust in a backhanded way. Republicans are saying nonsense, we are just worried about the states constitution from being affected by outside influence. But the Secretary Of State in ohio did say todays vote is linked to november votes. We get to see what will happen, yet to see what happens with a thick got the mail and ballast account as well so we wont get in idea for some time exactly how the vote will go. But its notjust about exactly how the vote will go. But its not just about abortion exactly how the vote will go.

The bridge was closed in 2021 because of the concerns that it might collapse under its own weight. Some repairs meant it could be reopened to pedestrians 18 months ago but Newport Council has no date for when things will be completely back to normal. All we get when we try to contact them is the fact that they are monitoring the bridge. I mean, how long does it take to monitor a bridge . Newport council said work had proved complex and technically challenging. It said repairs were ongoing and thank the residents for their patients. It
