And now terrorism charges. How does she see the rule of law in pakistan and her country s future? imaan mazari hazir, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you for having me. Now, you have become well known in your own country as a human rights lawyer, including taking on key institutions of the state. I wonder, first, what it was in your early life that led you to that work? i think, when you grow up in pakistan, you see a lot of power imbalances. You see the constant derailment of democracy. You see injustices being perpetrated by the state and its agencies against the most vulnerable, whether that s the baloch ethnic community or that s the pashtun ethnic community or sindhis. So you grow up in that environment, and i feel that you re very motivated to fight against that injustice because you see it on such a massive scale. How would you describe the state of human rights in the country today? i would say that the state of human rights is deplorable. We don t have a democracy in pakistan right
Hello. We ll start with a busy evening of champions league football and a surprising loss for the five time winners of the competition. Barcelona have won theirfirst five la liga games of the season, but they were beaten 2 1 by monaco. Hansi flick s side were forced to play most of the match with 10 men, after defender eric garcia was sent off. George ileni khena scored the winner for the french side, who are back in europe s top competition for the first time in 5 years. They bring in players and it wasn t easy to defend it after ten minutes or 12 minutes, for the game change, totally, but i can see is the positive thing that we try to do first, we tried to defend as a team and also attack as a team and we had chances. But today, we have to accept that. 2 1. Elsewhere, a late header byjose maria gimenez gave atletico madrid a 2 1win over rb leipzig.

We start in the Middle East, where israel has launched fresh Air Strikes in Southern Lebanon, in what security sources there say is some of the most intense bombing since the start of the Gaza War in october. And these are the latest pictures of israeli strikes on the Southern Lebanese Border Village of rihan. It all comes as the leader of hezbollah, a proscribed Terrorist Organisation by some western governments, was giving his first public reaction to the wave of attacks across lebanon. At least 37 people have been killed and thousands injured by Exploding Pagers and Walkie Talkies. Hassan nasrallah described the attacks as a massacre and said it could be called a declaration of war. Our chief international correspondent, orla guerin, has this report. Israeli Fighter Jets swooping low over beirut this afternoon, dominating the skies and sending a message to hassan nasrallah. Booms.

In supermarkets, on the street, in cars, at home and even in barbershops. Thousands of hezbollah members simultaneously injured by exploding pagers. Incidents reported from all over lebanon, from beirut to the bekaa valley, and even in neighbouring syria. Hospitals suddenly inundated.

Israel is saying nothing about these extraordinary attacks. Frankly, it s hard to think of anyone else remotely capable of mounting such a sophisticated operation. But it comes at a time when the government is threatening to step up its military effort against hezbollah. Israel s border with lebanon has been volatile ever since the war in gaza began exchanges of fire every day between israel and hezbollah. Tens of thousands of civilians on both sides have been forced to flee. Kiryat shmona has been hit several time
