Live now to moscow where we can join nina khrushcheva, professor of International Affairs at the new school in new york city. The Great Granddaughter of this four former soviet leader. Thank you so much for being here in the programme. Your Immediate Reaction to todays sentence . I programme. Your Immediate Reaction to todays sentence . To todays sentence . I was not surprised to todays sentence . I was not surprised it to todays sentence . I was not surprised. It was to todays sentence . I was not surprised. It was kind to todays sentence . I was not surprised. It was kind of to todays sentence . I was not surprised. It was kind of also l to todays sentence . I was not. Surprised. It was kind of also very precarious that the prosecution asked for 20 years and he was given 19. So they showed a little bit of mercy, which, of course, is a joke of a mercy. I wasnt surprised. I thought that he would get as much of a sentence as was asked because as has been discussed now, for years, he is put ins personal prisoner, so they would be absolutely no release or relief for him. He would be treated as harsh as possible. Exactly on that final phrase you use. We know that he is going to be used to a special regime how many far people are unaware of what that phrase might mean, how harsh is that environmental . It is phrase might mean, how harsh is that environmental . Environmental . It is very harsh. The are environmental . It is very harsh. They are about environmental . It is very harsh. They are about five environmental . It is very harsh. They are about five of environmental . It is very harsh. They are about five of them environmental . It is very harsh. They are about five of them in i they are about five of them in russia all over and this is for absolutely extreme cases. This is extreme treatments, people who, i dont know, killed three times or it did something absolutely unacceptable more than once. And what was interesting before the sentence today, there was a lot of talk about what kind of sentence exactly navalny would get. And a lot of lawyers were saying for extremism, that is the main charge that he was given. Its usually not given that much. Its not really say our horrendous crime committed multiple times over. He insisted he would get, has a set, the harshest treatment possible. So that is, you know, if it is 19 years, there is going to be an absolutely horrible thing, and one person i talked to close to the authorities but in opposition to many actions of the kremlin said that putin is trying to kill no navalny by the hands of other inmates, because that harsh treatment with the worst criminals is something that is very dangerous to alexei navalny. flarer is something that is very dangerous to alexei navalny. To alexei navalny. Over the years, his videos highlighting to alexei navalny. Over the years, his videos highlighting corruption, | his videos highlighting corruption, his videos highlighting corruption, his criticism of vladimir putin, his ability to get people out on the streets and of course we saw him place and with. Recovering in germany and then extraordinarily going back to russia before he was then instantly detained. Why are the authorities so scared of him . Well. Authorities so scared of him . Well, im sure youve authorities so scared of him . Well, im sure youve discussed authorities so scared of him . Well, im sure youve discussed It Authorities so scared of him . Well, im sure youve discussed it many l im sure youve discussed it many times over and weve talked about this. He was very unflinching critic of vladimir putin. He talks about corruption. I mean, its kind of a case of, i dont want to trivialise it, but involve the mart and harry potter, when put in doesnt even mention his name. Anybody in the kremlin can mention his name, they talk about ten as a berlin patient because he was recuperating in berlin after the poisoning, or it they call him the person who cannot be named. We know that is the fear because navalny is a threat to put ans personal power, put ins personal reputation of himself, and putin doesnt really treat his enemies lately, and navalnyjust unfortunately took this, as they say in russian, this ticket to be putins personal enemy. {iii in russian, this ticket to be putins personal enemy. Of course, hes not the putins personal enemy. Of course, hes not the only putins personal enemy. Of course, hes not the only that putins personal enemy. Of course, hes not the only that putin putins personal enemy. Of course, hes not the only that putin is hes not the only that putin is silencing. In terms of any opposition voice. Weve seen it with a number of people recently, but you are sitting there in moscow, youve chosen to speak to us. Why . And just give us a sense of the mood there as news of this filters out. News of this filters out. Well, there are news of this filters out. Well, there are so news of this filters out. Well, there are so many news of this filters out. Well, there are so many things news of this filters out. Well, i there are so many things going news of this filters out. Well, there are so many things going on in moscow right now. So navalny is not the biggest case. In fact, everybody is expecting that navalny will not get out of prison for years to come, potentially. So there is people watching this, but it is, by the way, a closed trial. It is not a trial in the courtroom. It is a trial in the courtroom. It is a trial to get out to prison, to do the trial, which is even for russia is a bit unusual. So its really not a concentration for russia, for example, the rouble fell even further, so that is something that people discuss how economically russia can survive for longer, but what you said is important. Hes not the only one, and there are all these cases, for example, in other Opposition Leader who is also a british citizen, he got 25 years. So these are the big sentences as navalny said, given to people so that you on the streets will be scared. This is not for us any more, navalny says, this is for you not to speak up, not to protest, and i think people do get scared and we will see because he called on august 20, he called for protests. So we will see how that will play out. find will see how that will play out. And do eo le will see how that will play out. And do people get scared . Do you get scared at all . I do people get scared . Do you get scared at all . Scared at all . I dont want to talk about my person. Scared at all . I dont want to talk about my person, im scared at all . I dont want to talk about my person, im not scared at all . I dont want to talk l about my person, im not relevant. Do other people that you talk to, are they scared . Doesnt put the my protesting . Are they scared . Doesnt put the my rotestin . ,. ,. ,. , are they scared . Doesnt put the my rotestin . ,. ,. ,. , protesting . Yes, a lot of people did leave russia protesting . Yes, a lot of people did leave russia precisely protesting . Yes, a lot of people did leave russia precisely because protesting . Yes, a lot of people did leave russia precisely because theyj leave russia precisely because they dont want to get into potential situations, but at the same time, there are very, very many people opposing the regime and very many people who chose to stay in russia and there are very many people who speak up as much as they can or as little as they can, but they still do, so it is still not 1937. It is interesting. Do, so it is still not 1937. It is interesting, though, do, so it is still not 1937. It is interesting, though, because you listed the number of other cases, it is notjust people who are critics of vladimir putin, critics of the work, you look at the case of a russian nationalist that supports the war but has been critical about the war but has been critical about the way its been carried out, critical to vladimir putin, and that is the line, isnt it that you cannot cross at the moment, because at any sort of criticism gets completely shut down. At any sort of criticism gets completely shut down. At any sort of criticism gets completely shut down. That is what is so interesting. Completely shut down. That is what is so interesting. He completely shut down. That is what is so interesting. He was completely shut down. That is what is so interesting. He was critical is so interesting. He was critical of the work conducted. You cant do this. The treason case at the end of june, june 2a, the famous waggoner march in moscow, they were not critical of putin, they were critical of putin, they were critical of putin, they were critical of the military leadership, so that kremlin decided that it is not a threat to them personally.

To the conflict in ukraine now. A video has emerged allegedly showing a Sea Drone Driving into the side of a Russian Naval vessel. The bbc has been unable to confirm its location but sidarth kaushal, a Research Fellow at defence think tank rusi, says the russian warship in the video is the 0lene gorsky gor nyak. The Night Footage you can see here is unclear but appears to be the Drone Driving into the side of a large ship and cutting out on impact. The video was released by the Ukrainian Security services. 0ur correspondent in kyiv James Waterhouse explained more. Unlike these drone attacks weve seen deep inside russia, around moscow, for example, kyiv seems more willing to admit to being behind these strikes using sea drones on the black sea, or sea of azov. And sources at the Security Service have told us that they successfully damaged a major landing ship at the port of novorossiysk, which is on the russian coast. It is a major terminal, where 1. 8 Million Tonnes of oil make their way out from there every day. And its also an important naval base for moscow. So the objects for this strike are obvious. The Security Service sources have shared with us footage of the apparent moment of impact with an onboard camera. Theres unverified footage of the vessel subsequently listing to one side, suggesting that it has indeed been damaged. But in a fortnight where ukrainian ports have been pummelled by russian drones, it seems ukraine has been keen to respond. But its interesting, because president zelensky has previously warned of the war coming to russia. He has been keen to apply pressure in just about every way possible. But in the same breath he suggested that peace talks could happen as soon as autumn. But you just need to look at russias continued invasion and the pictures from today that suggests that neither side is exactly setting the conditions for talks to take place. A man has beenjailed for life for the murder of his 10 month old stepson. Craig crouch was found guilty of Murdering Jacob Crouch at his derbyshire home in 2020. Hes been sentenced to a minimum term of 28 years. Jacobs mother gemma barton was cleared of murder, but found guilty of causing or allowing the death of a child. The infant was found dead in his cot at the family home in linton in derbyshire. This is was the judge had to say in sentencing to craig crouch a little earlier. You have not shown any remorse for what you did. You have not explained what you did or apologised to any of your many victims, direct and indirect. I reduce the minimum term by two years to take account of the limited mitigating features i have identified. The minimum term you will serve will therefore be one of 28 years. Thejudge later went on to sentence the childs mother. 0n the night he died, you did become aware of the risk to him of serious harm and indeed aware that mr crouch had seriously assaulted him. The total sentence is therefore one of ten years in prison. The period you have spent in custody while on remand will count towards the ten year sentence. That was the judge carrying out the sentencing. Detective inspector paul bullock is from derbyshire police. While no sentence can bring jacob back, i hope today brings the family some closure on what has been a horrific two and a half years. Id like to thank them for the respectful and dignified manner with which they have conducted themselves throughout the trial. My condolences remain with them and i would like to ask their privacy is respected at this time. The police speaking after sentencing at Derbyshire Crown court. I want to get to lisbon and show you the live pictures coming into us as we speak because they are, centre screen, the pope, pope francis visiting lisbon portugal, he is there for five days and you can see the obvious security around pope francis, but, of course, in the backdrop of those pictures already, thousands of people taking to the streets there to see the pope, and of course, after all of his ill health of recent months, they are delighted to see the 86 year old there in lisbon. As they say, day two of the five day trip there to portugal. 0f say, day two of the five day trip there to portugal. Of course, you can see people reaching overjust trying to shake hands, have a closer glimpse, but the pope taking his time there in that pope mobile and just enjoying every moment of the welcome he is receiving there in portugal. Scientists say the average Surface Temperature of the worlds oceans has hit a record high, with alarming implications for the planet. This week, it reached almost 21 Degrees Celsius thats far above the average for the time of year and it beats the previous record set in 2016. The oceans are a vital regulator of the earths climate. This chart gives a sense of what has been happening. It shows the average Ocean Surface temperatures recorded every year since 1979. The red line shows this years data. The grey lines show previous years. As you can see the august 2023 temperature is much higher than in previous years. Heres our climate editor, justin rowlatt. Theyve been taking measurements of Ocean Temperatures here in plymouth for more than a century. And for the last 50 or so years, theyve shown a slow but steady increase up about a third of a degree a decade. Have we got a reading for today yet, do you know . I heard them Say Something around 18 or 19, which is four Degrees Higher than it should be. Its been a similar pattern globally. Rising Sea Temperatures and increasing numbers of marine heatwaves. And it has just reached a new peak 20. 96 Degrees Celsius, the highest Global Average sea temperature ever recorded. The worlds warming waters are a dangerous trend, say experts. Peoples perspective is that the ocean is so big, its so vast, that it can buffer anything that humanity can throw at it. And the reality is thats not the case. Everything has its niche within the ocean, and its incredibly easy to to break that niche, and influence it, and upset it. Take plankton. These tiny plants and animals are crucial to life on the planet. Theyre the basis of the entire Marine Food Chain and produce half the oxygen in our atmosphere. So, every other breath you take. And they are sensitive to heat. Many species have been migrating north as the worlds oceans warm. Potential consequences on Coral Bleaching in the tropics, devastating fisheries towards the poles, that all has very important consequences for people and their livelihoods. But there is hope. Scientists are learning more about how the Ocean Ecosystems function every day. We have the Renewable Technologies that can tackle Climate Change by reducing our use of fossil fuels. We just need to make the change quickly. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news a man who murdered the Cousin Of World Heavyweight Boxing champion tyson fury during a bar brawl has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years. Liam 0pray was convicted of stabbing rico burton in august last year. Mr burtons mother has paid tribute, saying rico will never be forgotten by the traveller community.

Youre live with bbc News Donald Trump has claimed hes a victim of political persecution after pleading � not guilty� to conspiring to overturn his election defeat in the 2020 us election. Speaking after his Court Appearance in washington on thursday the former us president said, it had been a sad day for america. He faces three separate criminal trials in the coming months but remains the frontrunner for the republican president ial nomination for next year� s election. This is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in america. This is the persecution of the person that� s leading by very, very substantial numbers in the republican primary and leading biden by a lot. So if you can� t beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. Earlier we discussed that momentous Court Appearance with bruce from the United States study centre who has served on the democratic staff in the us congress and also to the president ial historian, doctor lindsay, she told me the case goes right to the Core Of American Democracy. Right to the Core Of American Democracy right to the Core Of American Democracy. Right to the core of american democra. , ,. , democracy. Former president donald trum is democracy. Former President Donald Trump is the democracy. Former President Donald Trump is the first democracy. Former President Donald Trump is the first president democracy. Former President Donald Trump is the first president to democracy. Former President Donald Trump is the first president to ever l trump is the first president to ever try and overthrow the result of an election, and in our republic, a peaceful transfer of power is at the very corner of those democratic institutions. It� s the very essence of where we aim to be, and so far president to try to destroy that is really a historic moment, and essentially he should be held accountable for it. First, i agree with everything that lindsay said was how much the president knew. The former president knew that, in fact, he had lost the election. He was told by more than half a dozen of his aides, his lawyers, his Campaign Staff attorneys at the department ofjustice, that he did not win the election, but he persisted. And also the pressure on Vice President pence, who was presiding over that crucial session of in the senate to count the electoral votes and make rulings as to what was permissible and not permissible. His defence apparently is likely to be around the idea that free speech, he believed that he had won. So whatever he said is covered. Do you think that has any chance of flying . Well, i� m, of course, not a lawyer, but i would say that one of the things that� s important about the Free Speech Argument is you� re allowed to pretty much say whatever you want. And smith did say as much in the indictment, but you� re not allowed to use that free speech in the commission of a crime. So a great analogy that i heard congressmanjamie raskin make is, you� re allowed to say that you think it� s inappropriate for the Federal Reserve to have control over currency. That� s fine. But if you start to make your own money, then that is breaking the law. And that� s pretty similar to what donald trump appears to have done here. I just want to play to you and to our viewers a clip i heard on bbc radio this morning. It came from a talk show host, but he was also chairman of the trump� s campaign in virginia back in 2016 and 2020. Just have a listen to this. President trump came on my show on friday, and i asked him a simple question. If youre afraid, convicted and sentenced to jail, will you run for president . And he said unequivocally, yes, ill run and ill win. And heres why. Trumps poll numbers keep going up in the face of these vacuous, insane, asinine indictments and arraignments. I you cannot indict a movement. Lindsay, that was an incredible last line. You cannot indict a movement, was what he was just saying there a possibility you could have donald trump in jail but elected . That� s a possibility. Unfortunately, the constitution has very few limitations on who can actually be president because the draughters of the constitution never could have fathomed that the American People would elect someone who had been indicted and convicted on such serious charges. Bruce, what� s your reading of this . Because at the start of these indictments, President Trump or former President Trump was on about 35 , support is around 50 . Is it an absolute shoo in, the nomination, or should those other contenders whittle the field down to maybe only two or three to give themselves a better shot . Hes in a really strong position. And letsjust remember the calendar here. The republican president ial primaries to choose the nomination are front loaded, the trials are backloaded. And i think and the there will be no verdicts before a majority of the primaries have been contested. So trump could lock up the nomination and then go into court. And thats what i think is going to happen. That Court Appearance yesterday in washington. An Appeals Court in romania, has lifted the house arrest, imposed on the controversial influencer andrew tate. He and his brother tristan, deny charges of rape, Human Trafficking and forming an organised crime group to sexually exploit women. The court has placed them underjudicial control meaning they can� t leave the country without permission. Nick thorpe is following all these events. Judicial control, it is actually a lesser form of house arrest. What it means basically is that he can go out of his house. Until now, he and his brother were shut in their house. They can go out of the house and anywhere within the county, the county around their home which includes the romanian capital bucharest. They still have to report regularly to the police. But obviously, for andrew tate and his brother, this is a sense of a bit more freedom at least after many months, first of prison and then of strict house arrest. They and two alleged romanian accomplices were arrested at the very end of december last year. They were facing, then, charges of rape, of organised crime, forming a criminal gang, and of trafficking. Effectively, the Prosecution Service say they have seven alleged victims, people who have given evidence against the tate brothers and their two romanian accomplices, one of whom is a former romanian policewoman. Basically, since then, there has been this legal battle, first for them to try to release themselves from prison because they were held for several months in prison, and now, each stage, effectively, bringing them slightly closer to freedom but they still face those charges which were only actually formally laid in june. Straight back to lisbon, more pictures of the pope travelling through the streets with the open top pope mobile. He� sjust presided over huge open air service in portugal, attended by an estimated half a million young people. In a ceremony, he focused on the perils of the internet and urged young people to connect with others in the real world. People to connect with others in the realworld. Huge people to connect with others in the real world. Huge numbers coming out to see pope francis there. Hello there. Earlier today, we had a big line of thunderstorms that developed across parts of eastern england, and they brought some very heavy rain, like here in suffolk. Further south, in parts of essex, they saw 9mm in just the space of one hour. So a really hefty downpour. And talking about rain, we� ve got more of that to come for saturday, i� m afraid, thanks to this area of low pressure that has been named by the met office as storm antoni. Now antoni will bring outbreaks of rain quickly into northern ireland. The rain heavy and persistent here. Some wet Weatherjust Edging into south west scotland, wales and western england. 0ur Temperatures overnight holding up into double figures. But antoni could cause a few impacts weather wise on saturday, accumulating rain for northern ireland, first of all, 20 40mm, maybe a bit more than that over the high ground in the mournes. It� s enough to cause some localised flooding. And as our wet weather extends into england and wales, it comes with a punch. Some very strong gusty winds affecting wales and South West England, where gusts could reach 50 65mph, Strong Enough to blow down a few trees. And given there� s a lot of people out and about at the moment, given the summer holidays, well, there could be a few impacts, some disruption out and about. The wet weather extends eastwards through the day. The weather brightens up for scotland and northern ireland. Just a few showers here. For some, it won� tjust be wet and windy, it� ll be really cold for august as well, with temperatures around 111 15 celsius. That really is rubbish. 0n into sunday, it� s a better day weather wise, as the storm system moves offshore. We� re looking at a day of sunshine and showers. The greatest risk of seeing showers and a few thunderstorms for scotland and eastern england, probably drier for wales and South West England with the best of the day� s weather. Temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year. Now heading beyond that and into monday, it� s a better day again. There� s a weak ridge of High Pressure building in, and so a lot of fine weather for england and wales. Fine start in northern ireland, but rain to end the day and in scotland, you� ll get some fairly heavy showers, particularly across northern and western areas. The south and east of scotland probably staying dry with some sunshine. Temperatures generally high teens to low 20s. But as we get towards the latter part of the week, an area of High Pressure is going to be across the uk for the first time in some seven weeks, and that is set to bring some drier, sunnier and warmer weather. And for some of us, temperatures late in the week could reach at least the mid 20s, maybe the high 20s. This is bbc news, the headlines the jailed russian Opposition LeaderExit Alexi Novelli has had his Prison Sentence extended. The uk and eu have caused him for his immediate release.
