Efforts will be seen today. Lyse doucet, our efforts will be seen today. Lyse so russia and ukraine lawyers doucet, our chief efforts will be seen today. Lyse doucet, our chief international in court, side by side, correspondent, thank you very much. Arguing their cases. Were hearing, first of all, from russia. So how did we get here . Well, a few days after russian tanks rolled across the border, more women have come forward with allegations ukraine brought this case about Russell Brand. The Times Newspaper says several women have to the International Court contacted its journalists since saturday, when it published the accounts of four women ofjustice, claiming that russia who accused the comedian of raping or sexually assaulting them. Was abusing the Genocide Convention mr brand has denied those claims by claiming falsely genocide and insisted all his relationships were consensual. Was being committed in eastern David Silitto reports. Ukraine, in order to try to justify what russia called the special military operation. So the case was brought Russell Brand, comedian, actor, political commentator, accused of multiple sexual assaults here to the icj. And the rape of a woman that the programme a month later, march 2022, judges here issued an interim ruling, in which they said russia should dispatches called nadia. Cease all covert and overt hes grabbing at my underwear, pulling it to the side. Hostilities, and that both sides should avoid any action that im telling him to get off me could escalate the situation. And he wont get off. I was very distraught, so where we are today, this is potentially a Pivotal Moment trying to get out of the house. With him being so much because russia is arguing the icj taller than me, like, holding me up against the wall. Doesnt have the power, further details have now been doesnt have the jurisdiction published about Nadia Reporting the incident to a rape to hear this case because under crisis centre, and also a series of Text Messages the Genocide Convention that the investigators say Russell Brand sent to nadia. Under which ukraine, the exchange begins with him saying, im sorry, kyiv, brought this case i will make this up to you. There is no dealing with the use of force between states. So thats the argument and then he goes on to ask, were going to be hearing from russias lawyers today. Will you everforgive me . Just how muchjurisdiction, though, it was just as these does the court have . Allegations first began and in terms of enforcement, to emerge that he arrived what options are there . For a performance in london. Both very good questions. On stage, he was met by fans so both countries, russia with cheers and a standing ovation. He has these days millions of followers on social media. And ukraine, are signed up this is anti establishment, to the Genocide Convention. So in that sense, if the judges anti authoritarian. Decide they have jurisdiction to hear this case, they have jurisdiction over both countries. Where he has cast himself as a voice however, with that interim ruling, we know the hostilities continued. So russia ignored that ruling in march 2022. Of dissent against mainstream media. In terms of Enforcement Powers . Well, actually, none. But the catalogue of accusations and concerns about his behaviour stretch over his many years if the judges decide they have in Mainstream Tv and radio. Jurisdiction and if, eventually these have only been locked up probably, were talking years forfour days and, yet, already. In the future they rule Russell Brand made his name on channel four� s big brother. Dispatches featured claims that in ukraines favour that russia had staff helped pick out girls for him from the audience. Falsely used claims of a genocidal it felt like we were essentially taking lambs into slaughter. Genocide in order to justify channel 4 says it has no evidence the full blown invasion. There are no Enforcement Powers. That any of the alleged incidents they could escalate the case were brought to its attention at the time. To the un security council. Oh, no, this is andrew but of course, russia sachss answerphone . And the bbc which parted company has a veto power there. With Russell Brand after a scandal over offensive voicemail messages ive been speaking to some has also said its making urgent inquiries. Meanwhile, Russell Brand has issued International Legal experts, though, a statement vehemently denying all the allegations. I was very, very promiscuous. And they say if the judges find in ukraines favour, it could help now, during that time of with any future reparations promiscuity, the relationships i had claims from the victims. The other thing to bear in mind, were absolutely always consensual. Interesting in this case, i was always transparent is on wednesday, well be hearing from the 32 countries which have about that then. Intervened in this case. So theyve essentially and to see that transparency supported ukraines position metastasised into something criminal and they will be presenting their arguments on wednesday. That i absolutely deny and the other thing to bear in mind makes me question, is there another agenda at play . Is that with any case like this, in internationaljustice, however, in 2020, a woman rulings set precedence. So any decisions here at the icj the programme called alice, who said a relationship had begun could be used in other cases, when she was 16 and that shed for example, separate cases been assaulted by brand, at the International Criminal court, which is also here in the hague. Contacted his agents. And another case which is being i phoned the offices and i asked heard here at the International Court ofjustice involving to speak to his agent. Russia and ukraine. They say they now believe that they were misled by brands denials. And very quickly, anna, in terms when we, you know, reflecting on accountability, and as his tour continues, would that lie directly many others are facing questions with President Putin, about what they were told and what other precedents have been set in this court where countries or leaders, and what did they do . Their leaders have been found david sillito. Accountable of genocide . Good question. Earlier, the bbc spoke so this is the international to mr brands former agent john noel, who said he was surpised court ofjustice. By the allegations. Its the uns highest court, and it deals with disputes between states. So were not talking about can i ask you, are you surprised by the allegations about Russell Brand . Individual criminal responsibility. Sorry . Just to very quickly remind you, there is a case ongoing yeah . Are you surprised by the allegations . At the International Criminal court, very surprised. You are . Which does deal with individual criminal responsibility. And that case is looking ive never had any complaints about him, other at allegations that President Putin than turning up late. Yeah, that kind of thing. And his childrens rights standard stuff, you know, business . Commissioner were involved Caroline Nokes mp is the chair in essentially kidnapping ukrainian of the commons women children from the areas which have been occupied by Russian Forces and equalities committee. And taking them across the border she told us that the behaviour illegally into russia and putting mr brand is accused of is not them up for adoption. Acceptable. That case is being we have seen misogyny, abuse, harassment in the police, in the entertainment dealt with by the icc. A separate case here at the icj industry, in sport. Involves allegations russia has been involved in funding terrorist and what we must do is make sure that first, we have a really robust activities in eastern ukraine. System where women are encouraged this one today will run and empowered to go to the police, until the 27th of september. Difficult when we have the metropolitan police themselves its just part of the proceedings, hanging under a cloud. Secondly, we have to address the culture. We have to do it through our education system. So it will determine we have to do it in the workplace. Whether or not, basically, this whole case can continue. If thejudges decide they have jurisdiction under we have to make it abundantly clear the Genocide Convention, to everyone that harassment, then the case will continue. Whether its female surgeons in the nhs, whether its if they rule in russias favour that the fire service or military even, that harassment and abuse the Genocide Convention doesnt cover this and therefore will not be tolerated, they dont have a mandate. That employers will take a zero tolerance approach and remove individuals who behave the case will be ruled out. In this sort of way. But when it comes to the entertainment industry, live now to new york there is a massive challenge to speak to michael bosque, with freelance and self employed Global Affairs analyst at atlantic council. Lovely to have you with us. As we people who feel in a very vulnerable position, were hearing from our correspondent, afraid to speak out there are questions overjust how because their next contract, their nextjob, relies upon them sharp the teeth are of the icj, i as being. Being supported by big mean, what is the point of this . Yes, well, both the icj and the icc Production Companies and, indeed, by artists. And there is a real challenge that we have to make sure are important venues for arguing cases. But at the end of the day, that our entire culture is prepared to stamp out, not tolerate, they both suffer from the same to speak out, to call out people weakness that they cant enforce the who are behaving badly when theyre in positions of power. Decisions. However, they could set the stage, if you will come up for around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Ukraine to pursue claims of reparations. And of course, the losses are absolutely huge. All over lets now take a look at some other ukraine. If i can say this as well stories making news, here in the uk. Because i really think its the labour leader, sir keir starmer, important for people to understand has said hell look at rewriting this. There are at least seven the brexit deal if his party wins the next general election. Justifications for the invasion that speaking to the financial times, russia has laid forward, all of them sir keir says the deal struck by borisjohnson was much too thin are flimsy and ridiculous. For and that more favourable example, one is they are claiming arrangements could be secured. Nazis are running around freely in people in england aged 65 and over ukraine and president zelensky is a are being urged to get a top up nazi. It is a ridiculous claim, Booster Covid vaccine. An increasing number especially given he is ofjewish heritage. The other as they were of people are attending hospital with the virus, forced to act because nato was but while Hospital Numbers are up, Intensive Care Admissions are low. Encircling russia. Well, excuse me, nato is a defensive force. I think the rollout of the new booster has what mr putin really feared was that been brought forward as a precaution nato would stand in the way of his against a highly mutated new plans to invade ukraine and go covid variant called ba. 2. 86. Further into europe. Five metropolitan Police Officers are due to appear plans to invade ukraine and go further into europe. Yes, ust on at a gross Misconduct Hearing over the oint the stop and search of the british further into europe. Yes, ust on the point i further into europe. Yes, ust on the point of the h further into europe. Yes, ust on the point of the fact h further into europe. Yes, ust on the point of the fact that h further into europe. Yes, just on j the point of the fact that ukraine are saying that moscow is falsely sprinter bianca williams. Using genocide law, what is genocide law . ~. ,. , she accused the force of racism after she and her partner were handcuffed and separated using genocide law, what is genocide law . ~. ,. , using genocide law, what is genocide law . ~.

Prove a systemic pattern, whether it| prove a systemic pattern, whether it is rape or crimes against humanity, destroying culture. Let me be very nothing illegal was found. Vivid with you, if i can . I am based youre live with bbc news. In 0desa, i have travelled to ukraine, i have been there since the start of the war, we see this on a the former Prime Minister liz daily basis. Ukraine at the moment truss has defended last years mini budget, saying she was trying is the biggest open crime scene in to get the british economy on a better trajectory. The world. A lot of what is she has been giving a speech, happening, whether it is the rape, in which she has urged the government to cut taxes, the systematic destruction of the shrink Welfare Spending culture, the Language Committee has and raise the retirement age. Been documented in real and ms truss said there had been 25 years of Economic ConsensusElectronic Devices from smartphones which needed to be shattered. To cctv cameras, etc. So this is what makes this particular case is different at this point of time, is the reality is that over time, we that ukraine and its supporters, 32 are not bringing in as much money as countries or so, should have a are not bringing in as much money as a country as we are spending. 0ur pretty solid case to prove what is debt levels are close to 100 of going on. How does russia regard the gdp, we have the highest debt west and the court . In this matter. Interest payments in the developed world. And according to the growth with disdain. Im surprised they commission, the average person in would even show up. Look, i covered the uk is now £9,100 worse off than with your correspondent the trial in the uk is now £9,100 worse off than the average person in the united the hague where the russians refused states. And i believe the reason to provide a lot of evidence when that we have this problem is 25 they were requested to. They are not handing over those that were years of Economic Consensus that has charged. And also with the icc led to a period of stagnation. And i decision, they are being very believe that we need to shatter that careful with mr putin at the moment in terms of where he travels, to Economic Consensus. If we are to avoid his arrest. But it has to be avoid worse problems in the future. Said what these decisions do is they liz truss speaking earlier. Further isolate russia on the world stage, further isolate mr putin, his questions are being raised over how effective the response has been movements have to be very carefully orchestrated. That is another reason, by the way, he is not in new to the deadly earthquake that struck morocco ten days ago. York this week because of the some villages say they have not received supplies from authorities, and some roads remain inaccessible. Charges facing him. York this week because of the Ethar Shalaby reports. Charges facing him. Lets talk about events taking charges facing him. Lets talk about more than a week after events taking place charges facing him. Lets talk about events taking place in charges facing him. Lets talk about events taking place in the charges facing him. Lets talk about events taking place in the united i events taking place in the United States this week. Mr zelensky will the devastating earthquake struck morocco, this is how people be travelling there and certainly, are resorting to moving supplies to villages that havent received aid is being discussed with congress. He will then be travelling any government help. To meet president biden. What is he translation this aid l hoping to come away with . Sure. Is being delivered up high to meet president biden. What is he hoping to come away with . Hoping to come away with . Sure, i think there hoping to come away with . Sure, i think there are hoping to come away with . Sure, i think there are a hoping to come away with . Sure, i think there are a couple hoping to come away with . Sure, i think there are a couple of hoping to come away with . Sure, i think there are a couple of issues i think there are a couple of issues here. Number one is asking for more in the mountain to the village. Resources and the United States, the they use their own donkeys. Government here is on the cusp of approving billions of dollars more with some roads still blocked following the earthquake, in aid for ukraine. It is a huge this is the only way to get what little food and other amount so far. And i think part of essentials volunteers have brought the timing is also explained by to the affected villages. But before the aid is taken to there seems to be a perception that each village in this area, number one, the west is taking its it has to be divided up. Time delivering aid. But number two there isnt enough to go around. Is that we are hearing some pretty so locals have organised a lottery system. Each person will get something. Intelligent individuals argue that russia should be given what it is but not everyone will get asking for, especially to rehabilitate that plexi grain agreement, relieving sanctions, that a bag of flour today. Sort of thing. Black sea. This is unacceptable to ukraine and i believe that is one of the things he translation its for will be pressing for, that everyones benefit. I particular argument that they cannot they feel pleased and no arguments occur, so no one person will say one have any sanctions relief, any other person took an unfair amount. Concessions because this will only involve mr putin, as well as other villagers think the system is fair, but the supplies arent enough. Dictators. A. A, the only aid we receive is from volunteers. Involve mr putin, as well as other dictators. A,. Z. , dictators. Mackay three, of the may god reward them, atlantic council, dictators. Mackay three, of the atlantic council, thank dictators. Mackay three, of the atlantic council, thank you dictators. Mackay three, of the | atlantic council, thank you very this woman tells me. Much indeed for that analysis. She adds that they havent received michael bosque. Thank you. This is any aid from the government bbc news. And that there isnt enough getting iran has said five americans through, especially tents. Who Have Beenjailed for years in iran this is the new home will soon be transferred of a family of ten people, to the airport, as part after the earthquake destroyed their house. Of a prisoner swap. They tell me that the limited aid they received has forced them the deal was mediated to come up with ideas to be able to live, like making by the gulf state of qatar. Up these simple tents. Ngo volunteers say that the coming 0ur chief interntional correspondent, lyse doucet, days will be like a marathon, is in doha for us now. Not a sprint, because these people ta kers to takers to the build up and the will need aid that will cover them negotiations and the complexity, to the point are now. Not only for weeks, but for months, before winter comes. This aid was delivered by moroccan biodiversity the point are now. Yes, this is really the the point are now. Yes, this is really the what the point are now. Yes, this is really the what is the point are now. Yes, this is livelihoods association, really the what is a the point are now. Yes, this is really the what is a deeply really the what is a deeply controversial, highly complex deal. Normally a conservation group. You arejoining us here at volunteers like these have played controversial, highly complex deal. You are joining us here at the a vital role in getting aid largely empty tarmac at the old to remote areas like this. Translation our next Plan International airport here in the will focus on providing more tents. Villagers here approach us and qatari capital, such an ordinary setting where in a few hours time, ask us to provide them with more. Winter is coming and some people we expect to see the culmination of are living in high areas that are difficult to reach. An extraordinary moment when the the moroccan government, five american prisoners who have with a number of international been held for years in irans partners, has rolled out a large aid and rescue programme notorious prison will land here to to the affected region. Be greeted by qatari and american officials, before heading to the but while some help is reaching United States. And all of the last this area, people are asking why they arent seeing more. Pieces fell into place earlier this until then, they will have to rely morning when qatari banks confirmed on simple means to receive help. That the 6 billion in funds, money Ethar Shalaby, in the high atlas mountains, morocco. That the 6 billion in funds, money that iran earned in selling oil to stay with us here on bbc news. South korea, had now arrived here in more coming up shortly. The banks. It is money that will be strictly controlled, we understand, by the qatari and other authorities. That gave the green light that the hello. Americans in iran could start moving towards the airport there. And five therell be some brighter skies this week, but yesterday, we saw a months worth of rainfall in the space prisoners in the United States, of six hours in parts of devon and somerset, iranians, largelyjailed on evading overnight in the space of an hour near swindon. Us sanctions, will also be released. And you can see from our rainfall and there was also confirmation from accumulation chart for the week, all of us will see yet further rain, bright colours in the cumbrian tehran, from the Foreign Ministry fells, the west highlands, where we could see over 100 spokesman, that this process will millimetres of rainfall indeed get under way today. Before we get to friday, all being driven by these areas of cloud working its way in, pushed towards us by a deep translation area of low pressure to the south of iceland. Indeed get under way today. Translation based on the information translation based on the information i translation based on the information i have but that will help drive translation based on the information i have come translation based on the information i have come at l translation based on the | information i have come at the Exchange Of Prisoners will be done away the cloud and rain weve seen so far today. Today. Five citizens of the islamic the second band, which has started the day in western areas, republic of iran will be released will clear away from the east coast, from prison. We dont have the full after some rumbles of thunder in east anglia and the southeast during the afternoon. It lingers on the far north east of scotland. Details yet of the identities of the a bit of a blustery wind to go across the uk today, five american prisoners, but three but lots more sunshine compared of them are well known. The longest with the morning, especially in the west, where there will still be a few showers coming detained Iranian American in prison through in the breeze. Those showers keep going into tonight, but to be replaced in ireland by some more persistent is a 51 year old businessman who rain after midnight, spent eight years in evin prison, and then later into central southern scotland, north west england, north and west wales. Mild enough night in the south, detained in 2015 on a Business Trip not quite as mild as last night. In iran and was later convicted on a fresh start tomorrow in the far north of scotland, Spying Charges and sentenced to ten where well see some of the driest and the brightest of the weather. But an area of low pressure years injail, siamak namazi. Emad shargi was travelling in iran with is there just to the north of us and its on the southern edge. His wife in 2018 when he was first were going to be driving in these Weather Fronts on strong detained. Before then, he was to gale force winds, particularly for england and wales. Now, heavy rain to begin with. Scotland, Northern England will ease through, and rain will come and go, i think, through the day across the central swathe of the uk. Maybe a few showers, east anglia, the south east, one or two showers, but some brighter weather in northern scotland. But the cloud will thin at times. We will see some glimmers of brightness, but to go with it, weve got winds around the hills and coasts of england and wales gusting 40, 50, maybe even 60 miles an hour. And even though the air is a little bit more humid, it will be tempered by the strength of that wind, which remains strong through the night and into wednesday. Another batch of Weather Fronts will then work its way southwards through the day, only slowly, which will bring some fresher air to the north and the west of the country. But along that band, well see ripples of heavier rain, which could affect those saturated areas of the south west of england, where we saw the flooding through yesterday. Wednesday, though, bright enough towards the south and east, sunshine and showers to finish the day in the north and the west. Its going to feel like september this week. That continues a certainly fresh feel on friday. Some of the driest weather uk wide at the moment likely to be on saturday. Take care.
