Welcome to the programme. A Refugee Crisis is developing in armenia, with more than 28,000 people fleeing the disputed enclave of Nagorno Karabakh. It follows a Military Operation Last week by azerbaijan to retake the region, following months of tension. Internationally, Nagorno Kara Bakh is recognised as part of azerbaijan, but for decades, Ethnic Armenians have controlled large parts of the territory. 0ur correspondent Sarah Rainsford has more from The Border Town of goris. The slow roll out of their homeland. This is a journey no one squeezed into these vehicles ever imagined they would make. Ethnic armenians fleeing Nagorno Karabakh on whatever transport they could find. Its a week since azerbaijan seized back the enclave. It did promise to protect the armenian majority there, but no one we found dared believe that. Instead, they flooded here, to armenia. We met this family of seven who had crammed their whole lives into a few cases. Hungry and exhausted after more than a day crushed into one car, and still reeling from what theyve had to give up. Translation it was tough there but it was our land, for generations. Armenian land. Now, today, we are here, we are homeless. Armenia initially prepared to host 40,000 refugees. It could be facing many more. The cars keep coming through the mountains. There are still hundreds of people leaving Nagorno Karabakh every single hour. People whove left behind their homes and their land and almost everything they own. And ive not met a Single Person whos told me they think theyre ever going back. This isnt a temporary evacuation, its an exodus. We cant get to karabakh from armenia now that azerbaijan is in control there, but a localjournalist we called. Told me everyone he knows plans to leave, as soon as the giant traffic jams die down. Translation there was a war, but things were really hard before that, too. So, people didnt really think long about whether to stay or go. They decided to leave. Because we lost. It was a capitulation. So, what could we do . In a nearby town, theres now a desperate crush for information and for aid from people who suddenly have nothing. There are donations, though not much, and no clear picture on where all these people will end up. And many are still shaken by two days of shelling last week. As azerbaijan retook karabakh by force, melina and her grandchildren huddled in their cellar. Shes now had to tell them they wont be going home because shes scared to live under azerbaijani rule. So, theyve joined the crowds now heading into uncertainty. As the face of Nagorno Karabakh is transformed. To the us now, and some newsjust in. Donald trump and his Family Business has been found liable for fraud by a new yorkjudge. The former president is being accused of illegally inflating wealth by up to 3. 6 billion to get cheap loans for nearly a decade. The ruling comesjust days before a civil case involving the new York Attorney general� s office and the former president was set to go on trial. 0ur North America correspondent, peter bowes, spoke to us earlier on what thisjudgment means for donald trump. This is a summaryjudgment in other words, a ruling made by thejudge outside the framework of a trial in a courtroom. In other words, this is a judgment made because thejudge believes that there is indisputable evidence to support essentially the allegations that have been made against donald trump in terms of his Business Practices and fraud that are part of that civil lawsuit. So, the judge agreeing with the Attorney General of new york that the former president in his Business World had committed fraud over many years by inflating his value, the value of his assets, by inflating, as an example, the the size of his apartment in new york or with the goal of, you could say, in new york, all with the goal of, you could say, impressing bankers, insurers to get preferential treatment in terms of loans. And as a result of thisjudgment, this ruling, which isjust part of that civil lawsuit, it means that the judge has now cancelled some of the trump organisations licenses to do business in new york. There could be further consequences. That civil lawsuit, there are other aspects that havent been resolved that will go to trial next week and could take several weeks. So, there could be more of this to come in terms of the consequences for donald trump and his organisation. And peter, overall, what does this mean for donald trump and his mounting legal troubles . It means potentially quite a lot, or it could mean nothing at all. If you get this in perspective, he has, as you say, mounting legal problems. This is a civil lawsuit. The potential penalties are financial. Theres no likelihood ofjail term connected to this particular lawsuit. But he is, as we know, facing several federal lawsuits and other cases around the country, major cases, more than 90 indictments with very serious charges that he tried to overthrow the result of the 2020 election, case involving those top secret documents that were found at his home in florida all of those cases still to play out. So, this civil case, yes, it is part of the bigger legal nightmare facing the former president , but you could argue that some of the other cases are much more serious. Donald trump reacted by saying the democrats are doing everything in their power to harm his chances in the 2024 elections and called the judges, quote, highly politicised. Staying in the us, and President Biden is thought to be the first sitting us president to have joined a picket line. He stood in solidarity with striking car workers in michigan, in what the white house described as a historic first. He addressed members of the United Auto Workers union in wayne county, who are taking industrial action over pay. Heres our North America editor, sarah smith, with the details. Joe biden clearly feels at home here, supporting Striking Union members byjoining them on the picket line. He is the first sitting us president to do that as far as anyone can remember, anyway. Hes living up to his boast that he is the most pro Union American president in history. Wall street didnt build the country, the middle class built the country. The unions built the middle class. Cheering. Thats a fact. So lets keep going, you deserve what youve earned, and youve earned a hell of a lot more than you get paid now. Applause and cheering. He is of course looking to earn their votes votes that in key states like michigan could make all the difference in next years president ial election. Some are looking for him to do more than just show up. Hes got a lot of work to do. The uaw hasnt endorsed him yet. Well see if he puts that work in. Hes the first president in us history to join a picket line, thats doing something. That is doing something, that is doing something. But we need a little bit more. 12 days into this strike, the auto workers are demanding higher wages and a shorter working week. A married couple, michelle and lyle mund both work full time at this gm plant, yet they say theyre struggling since inflation has eroded their wages. And whats like as a family trying to survive on what you make at the moment . Its tough to tell your kids no, nobody wants to tell their kids no. Like, no, we cant go do that, i know yourfriend goes and does that, were in a different situation than they are. Thats tough. I dont want to have to tell my kids no any more, i want whats deserved to us. We work most weeks, six days a week anywhere from 8 12 hours a day, and then optional sundays on top of that. So, i work second shifts, i see my kids generally one day a week. President biden sees Union Members as his natural constituency. Hes been supporting them all of his political life. But donald trump also likes to position himself as being on the side of blue collar americans, and he, too, is coming to detroit to appeal to the auto workers. Its becoming a battle over who can really claim to be a champion for the working class. In a prime time speech tomorrow, donald trump will say hes the only one whose policy will protectjobs in car manufacturing. Union members are more likely to support trump than just about any previous republican candidate. Its one more sign of how hes rewritten the rules of american politics. Sarah smith, bbc news, detroit. In iraq, the state News Agency Says 100 have died and 150 have been injured in a fire at a wedding celebration. These pictures came in a short while back after that incident in iraq. We are tracking it closely and we will get you more updates as and when they come in. Ukraine is seeking to establish whether a senior Russian Naval commander was killed in an attack on crimea last week. Moscow insists the man is in fact still alive. The Russian Ministry of defence has shared a video with sokolov appearing via video link in a meeting between russian officials. The kremlin insists this meeting happened on tuesday after he was claimed to have died. The images are yet to be verified. With more, heres our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse. Even by the standards of this information war, it is very hard at the moment to verify the claims that are being exchanged by both sides. We had the triumphant assertion from ukraine yesterday that Admiral Sokolov, the commander of russias black sea naval fleet, that he was killed in last fridays Missile Strike on russias headquarters in sevastopol, in occupied crimea. Kyiv said 34 Senior Officers were killed. This morning, you have dmitry peskov, the kremlin spokesman, saying he had nothing to say about these claims from kyiv. And then, shortly after that, Russias Defence Ministry released a clip of an apparent recent meeting featuring defence minister Sergei Shoigu addressing a packed room, and who was dialled in on video call but Admiral Sokolov . So, its very difficult to verify when this footage was taken, whether it was edited. But he appeared alive, engaged in the meeting. And then, we have a follow up statement from ukraines specialforces, saying they are now clarifying just whether he was killed or not. They say they now cite what they call open sources in their recent claims. So, its becoming incredibly messy. Its short of a rowing back, but its just a demonstration of how difficult it is to establish just what happened. What we know is that russias naval headquarters was at least heavily damaged, and that in itself is hugely significant in a symbolic sense. Beyond that, i dont think were any clearer. The speaker of Canadas Parliament resigned on tuesday, days after he singled out a ukrainian veteran who apparently fought for the nazis during world war ii for a Standing Ovation during a visit by ukraines leader. This is when mr rota apologised in the Parliament Last week after facing growing pressure to step down. Mr rota said he regretted his decision to recognise the man and accepted full responsibility.

The uks Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, has used a speech to an american right wing think tank, questioning whether International Rules on the rights of refugees, are fit for the modern age. She argues the definition of what constitutes someone being a refugee has shifted, and that the fear of discrimination for being gay or being a woman shouldnt be enough to qualify for International Refugee protection. But the speech has faced criticism, with the un defending its convention on refugees and saying it has saved millions of lives. Mark easton reports. Just a few miles from where the Home Secretary made her speech today, International Powers met in 1944 to debate the idea of universal human rights. But Suella Braverman came to washington to argue that the Refugee Convention that followed doesnt make sense in a world ofjet travel and the internet. It is therefore incumbent upon politicians and thought leaders to ask whether the Refugee Convention and the way it has come to be interpreted through our courts is fit for our modern age or in need of reform. Today, he and his kind are leaving their homes as evacuees. More than 60 Million People were displaced by the Second World War and World Leaders agreed a Refugee Convention, promising protection to those who couldnt return to their country of origin because of a Well Founded Fear of persecution. The Home Secretary argues persecution no longer means what was intended. We have created a system of almost infinite supply, incentivising millions of people to try their luck, knowing full well that we have no capacity to meet more than a fraction of the demand. There is undoubtedly a growing global challenge. Over the last 50 years, the number of extra people seeking International Protection each year has increased to more than 10 million, according to the United Nations, and the countries which host the most refugees are turkey, 3. 6 million, iran, 3. 4 million, colombia, 2. 5 million. The uk has around 230,000. So, does this mean the current asylum model is broken, or that the need for it is even greater . The guardians of the Refugee Convention and the rights of those seeking asylum are the Un High Commission for refugees. They fear the Home Secretarys intervention may undermine International Consensus on displaced people. Certainly, its something were concerned about and were always concerned whenever the relevance of the convention is called into question. If the Home Secretarys ideas became reality, what impact would that have on people fleeing persecution . Certainly, more restrictive interpretations of the convention would. Become extremely risky. The Home Secretary told her us audience Uncontrolled Migration presented an Existential Threat to Western Culture and that the asylum rules were far too generous. We will not be able to sustain an Asylum System if, in effect, simply being gay or a woman or fearful of discrimination in your country of origin is sufficient to qualify for protection. However, research by bbc verify shows that less than 2 of Asylum Seekers to the uk last year included Sexual Orientation as part of their claim, and most of those came from pakistan, bangladesh and nigeria, where same sex relationships are punishable by Life Imprisonment or even death. I think the Home Secretary has totally failed to tackle the tories asylum chaos, so shes ramping up the rhetoric and looking around for someone else to blame. Suella braverman� s speech is not about changing uk policy, yet, but with polls suggesting the tories are likely to lose the next election, her comments will boost her popularity with right wingers, ahead of what some anticipate will be a bitter fight for the soul of the tory party. Mark easton, bbc news. James landale says this will be a test as russias global standing. A test as russias global standing a test as russias global standinu. , , standing. This is interesting for several standing. This is interesting for several reasons, standing. This is interesting for several reasons, the standing. This is interesting | for several reasons, the first is russia has chosen to actually apply for this post on the un Human Rights Council. It doesnt have to do that, there is no need for it to do that, to make an application, but russia has chosen that it wants to, and as a result it is showing that russia is still interested in the international system, the international order. It wants to get elected to bodies, it wants to regain some International Credibility that it lost as a result of the invasion of ukraine. Thats the first thing. The second interesting thing is what happens in this vote. It will be a snapshot of International Opinion. About russia. We havent had a vote in the United Nations on russia for some time. Remember last year and the beginning of this year, there were some votes in the un assembly where the un overwhelmingly voted to criticise russias invasion of ukraine, about 140 members of the un said they opposed it, they called for russia to withdraw. We havent had one of those votes for a long time, this will be the latest version of that. It will be a chance for the west and others to express their view, a chance of the global south in particular to express their opinion, and thats where this argument will lie, because the west is trying to woo the global south, as is russia, and russias argument is that the west is using the Human Rights Council as a political tool. The west is saying, look, you cant have a country like russia which they say is guilty of almost daily war crimes and crimes against humanity within ukraine, being a member of the Un Main Human Rights body. Thats going to be the test that we see when the election happens on october the 10th. Diplomats say russia is campaigning hard, they say its offering countries arms and grain in return for their votes. It can get very transactional at the United Nations sometimes. So it will be a big test of International Opinion when the boat happens on october the 10th. A nine year old has qualified for the final of an esports event.

Storm agnes is going to be bringing some very strong winds to irish sea coasts during wednesday, could bring some disruption at the moment. Agnes is rapidly developing underneath this Powerful Atlantic jet stream. Theres some evidence that we might see a Sting Jet Form thats something that really accelerates the winds and at its peak, well out to sea, the winds are modelled to reach 120 miles an hour in gusts, so some ferocious winds. They will stay well away from land. And, actually, by the time agnes works across the uk, it will be working in as a weakening area of low pressure. Still, though, the winds Strong Enough to bring some disruption, as well see in a moment. Now, if youre outside at the moment, you might notice the winds picking up across wales and south west england. Otherwise, its a breezy kind of night. Quite cool for scotland, where therell be one or two showers, the Weather Turning increasingly mild as we head into the first part of wednesday morning for england and wales. Now, the strongest winds from agnes will be working through irish sea coasts where gusts could Reach 60s 70s where gusts could Reach 60s To 70s of miles an hour, Strong Enough to bring some disruption. It will be a bright start with some sunshine for scotland, and Eastern England having a relatively quiet day. Its through the afternoon that we get this swathe of really strong winds moving in, the winds Strong Enough to bring some power cuts, maybe some transport disruption, ferries perhaps running with cancellations or delays. And well probably see some trees being blown over as well due to those strong winds. And the winds continue overnight across Northern England and scotland, so very windy here wednesday night before agnes starts to clear out into the norwegian sea. We then get a ridge of High Pressure just ahead of the next system, and what that means is actually, for thursday, many of us, at least for a time, will see a slice of dry weather with a bit of sunshine as agnes works away before the next band of rain works in through the course of the afternoon. Some of the rain could be quite heavy in the west thursday afternoon. Continues to be mild temperatures about 16 20 degrees celsius, and another relatively mild day on the cards for friday. There will be lots of showers around for scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england, perhaps merging together across the far north of scotland to bring some wetter weather, whereas across southern areas of england and wales, it looks like being a dry day on friday with some warm spells of sunshine. Temperatures 16 21. What about the weekend Weather Prospects . Well, things look quite unsettled at the moment. Were looking at the risk of showers or some longer spells of rain for many of us this weekend, but it will stay on the mild side. Bye for now.
