Quite worrisome to think that that might be starting in ukraine. Ukraine has seen enough attacks on civilian infrastructure and civilian objects by weapons that should not be used in widely Populated Areas already and we are starting to see this Double Tap Strike and that is pretty much a new and very worrying pattern.

Not russians, and i| think that is one of the reasons that brings Me Tea Ukraine right now. Because i do think it is high time to bring those russian generals and Decision Makers responsible for these abuses to justice. And i think it is very important to emphasise that it did not start last february in ukraine, not even 2014 in ukraine, it started two decades ago in chechnya where the same tactics, and frankly sometimes buy the exact same people, were used for the first time. We sell indiscriminate attacks, torture and execution and rate and frankly, at that point, russia got away with it. And russian perpetrators, military and other officials got away with it and then the same thing happened in georgia in 2008. Today is actually the anniversary of the beginning of the war in georgia. It was short but quite brutal to be honest and i worked in that war is well and then we had syria and then it was 2014 in crimea and the donbas region and now back to what is happening right now. Im sorry, wejust back to what is happening right now. Im sorry, we just have a few seconds left.

The former pakistani Prime Minister imran khan has been disqualified from politics for five years after receiving a Prison Sentence for corruption. It 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 a high court on wednesday. On sunday, mr khan started serving his three year sentence in a jail. 0ur correspondent Caroline Davies has this update from the capital islamabad. When he was sentenced on saturday, we knew that immediately he would probably be disqualified. But i think what many people, his supporters and his lawyers held out hope for was, in the course of the next few days, that they might be able to find some form of relief that they might be able to delay this whole process. It wasnt entirely clear how quickly the Electoral Commission would move to disqualify him altogether, but the fact is that 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 he will not be able to lead his party, the pti party, which leaves a lot of questions. Firstly, the expectation is that there is a general election expected this year, but by the constitution, it needs to be by early november. And of course, if imran khan is not leading his party. He has represented his party, he has founded his party, the emblem of the pti is a cricket bat, and so the fact that he is not there leading his party really does mean that the major government opposition will not be standing in a very meaningful way unless someone else is able to take the reins and give it a different direction. This is probably one of the last parts of hope that maybe imran khan, his lawyers, his supporters, had, was that they might be able to create some form of delay. But the fact that hes now been disqualified really means that this is a very big uphill struggle if imran khan is going to find any way to be able to contest the elections. Lets take a look at some of the stories in the headlines in the uk. In a major data breach, the names and Work Locations of thousands of Police Officers in Northern Ireland have been mistakenly published online. Though no private addresses were released, the data is particularly sensitive because of Northern Irelands troubled past and security threats facing Police Officers. The forces Assistant Chief Constable has apologised to officers, saying, this is unacceptable. Chris page has the story. Nonetheless, Senior Officers will stress very regularly that there are paramilitary groups out there who continue to target members of the Security Forces and who try to take their lives. To give you an example of how the situation for police is perhaps different to other parts of the uk, the media agrees not to show prominently the faces of any Police Officers in pictures in newspapers, on the tv such would be the fear of their identity being widely known. The uk Electoral Commission has revealed its been the subject of a complex cyber attack. The independent watchdog, which sets standards for how elections should be run, says hostile actors have been able to access electoral registers in 2021 and 2022. Its warned the public to be vigilant for unauthorised use or release of their personal data. Civil servants in the Scottish Government spent Tens Of Thousands of taxpayers money, including nearly £10,000, on vip airport services.

In indonesia, a number of women who competed in the recent Miss Universe beauty pageant have filed complaints with police, accusing the organisers of Sexual Harassment after they alleged they were subjected to inappropriate topless body checks.

Today looks a lot better across the south of the uk than what we had on tuesday. All that rain and drizzly conditions, it felt quite cool as well. So today and also thursday look to be drier and warmer certainly warmer on thursday across the board but it will be short lived as low pressure brings a return to cooler, showery conditions friday and the weekend. High pressures building in across the country, as we move through the day today. There will be variable amounts of cloud in places, particularly towards the south and the west. But some good spells of sunshine across northern, central and eastern areas. A bit of Fairweather Cloud is bubbling up into the afternoon, so it will be one of patchy cloud and sunny spells. It will be turning warmer, a bit more humid in the south 24 celsius in the south east, a little bit warmer as well across some northern areas, but it will stay quite windy for the northern isles. As we move through wednesday night, we see a lot of dry weather around clear skies, variable cloud. Well start to import some warmer, more humid air from the south. So were into the mid teens, Northern Ireland, england and wales, even much milder across scotland, too. And you can see the orange colours spreading their way northwards on thursday, as we pick up warm and humid air from france and spain. So a much warmer day across the board on thursday. Again, variable cloud, some good spells of sunshine, winds coming in from the south, and well see those temperatures reaching 25 celsius or so across the central belt of scotland, widespread mid 20s across england and wales, and we could see highs of around 26 27 celsius. But, like i mentioned, it doesnt last well see this cold front spreading across the country during the course of friday. Thatll bring the temperatures down again and introduce showers or longer spells of rain, some of which will be thundery across central and northern areas. But the south east of England Holding on to the Sunnier Skies for longest, so not a bad day here until the band of cloud with some showers starts to push in later on. So again, 24 25 celsius in the south east, but youll notice the temperatures will be coming down further north and west. Low pressure sticks close by, unfortunately, for the weekend, generally to the north, north west of the country so its the northern half of the country will see most of the blustery showers, some of them heavy and thundery. A better chance of staying drier towards the south. But, like i mentioned, some of the showers will be heavy at times and, with the breeze coming in from the southwest, itll feel on the cool side for august. This is bbc news.
