What you just saw there is a mother throwing her baby to safety from a burning building in durban. Rioters targeted shops on the Ground Floor there and then set the building on fire.

I wasnt, like the way i was panicking, i was trusting anyone for my baby, to take my baby away from me, because the flames were burning and there was smoke outside. The smoke made me feel very bad, like i was panicking. Meanwhile this man returned repeatedly to that same building to help people escape. We are also seeing this.

Also in the province which Includesjohannesburg Province which includes Johannesburg And Province which includesjohannesburg and its large township, lets hear from the bbc� s corresponding to us on the streets. A number of towns and cities across South Africa have been burning, including right here in soweto injohannesburg. This is a mall where looters have basically ransacked the whole area. Things have become so volatile that president Cyril Ramaphosa has even called upon the army to come and support the police, who are over stretched and are unable to cope. Things have become so volatile that president Cyril Ramaphosa has even called upon the army to come and support the police, who are over stretched and are unable to cope. As you heard there the army has been called in to help the police but theyre strill struggling to contain the unrest. President ramaphosa says Hell Order more troops onto the streets to stop the violence spreading further but the failure to stop it so far is leading to this. South africans forming Vigilante Groups and taking the law into their own hands. This footage from Social Media shows open warfare between looters and armed citizens inJacob Zumas backyard.

They are increasingly unemployment, and a lot of us are not employed. We are struggling with Food And Everything else. This is not ok, whatever they are doing is not ok, whatever they are doing is not ok. When i was supposed to buy groceries yesterday, but now, we dont know where to go. So why is this happening. Lets go to vumani again with this explanation. It was after the arrest of this man, jacob it was after the arrest of this man, Jacob Zuma, it was after the arrest of this man, Jacob Zuma, the former president and most recently sentenced to 15 months in most recently sentenced to 15 Months Ihiaii most recently sentenced to 15 Months Ihiaii for most recently sentenced to 15 Months Injail for contempt of most recently sentenced to 15 months in jail for contempt of court. Most recently sentenced to 15 Months Injail for contempt of court. He is also facing injail for contempt of court. He is also facing charges of corruption, but despite his legal issues, Mr Zuma but despite his legal issues, Mr Zuma still has a lots of support in his Home Zuma still has a lots of support in his Home Province and also his supporters who have mobilised on Ethnic Supporters who have mobilised on ethnic grounds believe an attack on jacob ethnic grounds believe an attack on Jacob Zuma is an attack on their hatioh Jacob Zuma is an attack on their Hatioh But Jacob Zuma is an attack on their nation. But what originally began as demonstrations against his arrest has quickly deteriorated. It has been has quickly deteriorated. It has been no has quickly deteriorated. It has been no political chanting, no sign of it, been no political chanting, no sign of it, theres looting, there is vioiehce. Of it, theres looting, there is violence, and theres no telling how much violence, and theres no telling how much of violence, and theres no telling how much of it violence, and theres no telling how much of it is violence, and theres no telling how much of it is down to Hunger And Lack of much of it is down to Hunger And Lack ofjobs. Here in South Africa, inequality. Lack ofjobs. Here in South Africa, inequality, Poverty And Unemployment are often inequality, Poverty And Unemployment are often described as a ticking time are often described as a ticking time bomb, and the incidents that we have been time bomb, and the incidents that we have been witnessing over the past couple have been witnessing over the past couple of have been witnessing over the past couple of days are a consequence of the socioeconomic problems that are plaguing the socioeconomic problems that are plaguing this country. Despite the clear criminalisty and violence of whats going on some South Africans still believe it is aboutJacob Zuma. This man is from durban. It is aboutJacob Zuma, it is about Jacob Zuma because if you notice, this happened on the day Jacob Zuma surrendered, after he surrendered. Thats when it started. People didnt wantjacob suma to be arrested in the beginning, and the president of this country should have done something to prevent this. Lets go live now tojohannesburg to get the latest on the Situation Shingai Nyoka is there. It to happy with us. Thus images are devastating. How would you describe It Today . Devastating. How would you describe ittoda . ~ devastating. How would you describe ittoda . , It Today . According to the government It Today . According to the government the It Today . According to the government the situation | It Today . According to the I Government the situation is It Today . According to the. Government the situation is a It Today . According to the government the situation is a lot better, a lot fewer incidences than Vandalism And Looting compared to what we have seen over the last couple of days. But having said that, the looting does continue. We have seen images of ordinary people in different community is moving into warehouses, taking what they can, and even going through the debris thats been leftover over the last couple days to see what they can find. It is a sense of trauma from some of those communities that we have heard from earlier. These communities have formed Vigilante Groups and securityjust to ensure that their businesses are not attacked so that the leaders dont return. A lot of them are saying that they feel is that the government failed them, that it is too late, about 40,000 businesses we understand had been destroyed, so there really is a sense that even though the government says the numbers are coming down, that this is farfrom over. I numbers are coming down, that this is far from over. Is far from over. I have heard that clement definitely is far from over. I have heard that clement definitely commit is far from over. I have heard that clement definitely commit that i clement definitely commit that people thought that was too late. But do we now for certain about who exactly is behind the riots . Because the people who are speaking to us are those who have their businesses have been affected, for example. Well, in the beginning, the protests were very clear that it was very political in support of former president Jacob Zuma and what we have seen is that groups of people and communities have capitalised on that, to protest, to loot businesses, but what the government are saying is that this is the target that is Notjust Business any more, that State Infrastructure is being targeted and Water Treatment plants, Communication Infrastructure and what they are saying is that this is notjust disgruntled youth unhappy with the levels of high unemployment and that there is a hidden hand behind that. They said that they are investigating a Dozen Orso that they are investigating a dozen or so people who they think might have instigated all of this, but still no arrests have been made, so it really isnt clear what is behind these protests. D0 it really isnt clear what is behind these protests. It really isnt clear what is behind these protests. It really isnt clear what is behind these rotests. ~. ,. , these protests.

Well, initially, that was a call from jacob imagine is minimal. Well, initially, that was a call from Jacob Zumas i that was a call from Jacob Zumas supporters, that they would take to the streets to voice their Discontent And Anger at than being jailed, and that they would not stop until he was released. The Constitutional Court has reserved its judgment a few days ago when he appealed against thatjail term. But there really is a sense that this has taken on a life of its own. It is no longerjust a political. Its all of these issues that have under allied South Africas economy, the inequality as well as the frustration from the youth who are unemployed. Unemployment isnt as high as 46 50 percent. Its also a criminal its, so all of these factors that have played into why these protests are going on. Really quite something. Thank you so much for bringing us up to date from johannesburg. Lets turn to syria now. A Bbc Investigation found that children are facing a lifetime of imprisonment in camps and jails in northeastern syria. Little hope of being released. The children have been moved from Desert Cans to secure childrens homes and then onto Adult Prisons are not Conveyor Belt of incarceration. 0ur middle East Correspondent reports. Trapped in syria, its been the longest journey for the children up four and i asked biters. This is a home for the Lost Boys of the Islamic State group.

We have received a statement, and that statement says. Where we be, i will do next several covid 19 developments to bring you in the uk. In the last hour, the government has announced its moving Balearic Islands in spain from its green list to amber, meaning anyone who is not double vaccinated will need to quarantine on upon return to the uk as of 4am On Monday. Transport Secretary Gran shapps made that announcement here he is. Well, unfortunately, when we put them on the green watchlist, from then we have seen the rates double, and also the rates of positivity doubled, meaning that we are going to need to move quickly, as we said we might always have to do, we will go on to the emperor list, and that will happen from 4am On Monday morning. London is the first city in england to insist on Face Coverings on its transport network, when the government eases covid 19 restrictions in five days. Heres London Mayor sadiq khan. What wouldve been far better is for the national rules to continue to apply across the country, notjust In London, but across the country. That wouldve provided the clarity in relation to what the rules are and avoid any confusion. It also wouldve meant that we could have used the met Police Service and british Patrol Police to enforce the law. Im quite clear with the conversations ive had with londoners from businesses and others that requiring people to continue to wear a Face Covering will give them greater confidence in using our incredibly safe public transport system. The Context here is this. 0njuly 19 most restrictions that have been in place in england for over a year will be lifted. Nightclubs will be allowed to reopen for the first time since the pandemic began and capacity limits will be removed for all venues and events. There will no longer be any limits on how many people can meet and the 1m Plus Distancing rule will be removed. Masks and social distancing will no longer be enforced by the government it will now be up to individuals, businesses and local authorities. As you were hearing, london has made facemasks a condition of carriage forthe tube, bus, tram, dlr, 0verground And Tfl rail. And other cities are looking at following suit. Heres the mayor of greater manchester. If we put ourselves in the shoes of somebody who has to use public transport to go for chemo or dialysis. It absolutely makes sense that they have confidence that people will be wearing Face Coverings around them. In the Context of the guidance to people who are clinically extremely vulnerable, they were told yesterday they should avoid people who arent vaccinated. How on earth are they to know who is vaccinated and who is not . Face masks have been mandatory on public transport across england for the past year to reduce the spread of the virus. And recent polls suggest theres huge public support for that. According to the Travel Watchdog Transportfocus 56 of londoners said say they will not use public transport unless passengers are required to wear a Face Covering. And while many unions have welcomed Londons Decision , there are some concerns. What to be dont think is helpful, and its looking to the long term, is in a sort of, creating this impression that public transport and somehow less safe than other indoor settings. Prime Minister Borisjohnson insists Face Coverings should be worn in crowded places, and that it should be personal responsibility, rather than law. I wonder if you agree with that assessment that masks on public transport and also indoors as coming down now to businesses, you know, organisations to enforce it instead of the government. Its all a bit of a mess, isnt it . One of the big concerns as relying on personal responsibility rather than collective responsibility, so there is a concern, obviously, that people are not going to adhere to wearing facemasks in public places and public transport. We know this by rest, particularly this Delta Variant we are seeing a rise in Case Numbers in the uk every day. Its more infectious on one important measure in preventing you from infecting somebody elses to wear a facemask. So i think its all very confusing, and to be frank, really worrying. Confusing, and to be frank, really Wor Inc. , . , worrying. How effective are facemasks. Worrying. How effective are facemasks, would worrying. How effective are facemasks, would you worrying. How effective are facemasks, would you say, | worrying. How effective are facemasks, would you say, ive often heard them described as one tool against the virus, but, you know, short commutes, for example, or the Doors Opening and closing, people on and off, is it a risky environment . Welcome a you know, theres been a lot of studies, particularly over the last year, its difficult to do proper Case Control studies of the effectiveness of a facemask, but we know that they significantly contribute to the spreading of the virus from you if you are infectious. Many people wanting to know that they are infected, one of the biggest single challenges with this coronavirus is the fact that there are many people walking around two are asymptomatic. He can be infected and asymptomatic even after being vaccinated, and you can still spread the virus. So wearing a facemask, the major effect if that is actually to stop you spreading the virus, and we know that contact particularly enclosed spaces for probably ten or 15 minutes for somebody who is copping out, speaking out, spitting out a virus is how you get infected. So a lot of this is about confined spaces on the tube, on trains, and crowded poorly ventilated areas are where facemasks have a really important effect and mainly protecting you from spreading the virus, but they do have a small and significant effect of stopping you getting infected as well, so they are really important. Stan; they are really important. Stay riaht they are really important. Stay right there they are really important. Stay right there with they are really important. Stay right there with us, they are really important. Stay right there with us, lawrence, because i have some more issues to bring up at you. Lots of criticism that the Governments Decision to lift restrictions on the 19th of july. Heres the head of the british medical association. At the prime minister believes that the right thing to do is to wear Face Coverings on a crowded underground train, then why is it saying on the one hand, you should do that, but we are going to remove the restriction. It doesnt even make logical sense, and what we do know is that the virus will spread in those situations. The government itself has accepted seeing as many as 100,000 new cases a day. That weapon as the government itself has said, result in more people and hospital, probably the highest numbers in the whole of europe. Key to the british Governments Rationale behind easing restrictions is the vaccine programme. Two thirds of adults in the uk are estimated to have received both doses of a covid 19 vaccine, latest figures released today show. Around 87 of adults have now received a first dose of a vaccine and while the Vaccine Roll Out has slowed, there is evidence that the jabs are reducing the number of people who end up seriously unwell from covid 19. Recent public Health England figures show that of the 92 Thousand recent public Health England figures show that of the 92,000 Confirmed Delta Cases between one february and 22june, 58 were in completely unvaccinated people and only 8 were fully vaccinated. However, in those same figures of the 117 people who Died with the Delta Variant 43 had been fully vaccinated. And it is this lack of full, guaranteed protection as restrictions are about to be eased that is causing concern. Heres the bbc� s heath reporter, catherine burns. This is totally uncharted territory. So far in this pandemic, we have had a bit of a pattern. As cases arise, restrictions have been added can and a half as things have improved him with a heavy stop. Thats not the case number, what happens now is to let this burn out with no restrictions. Now, because this is so different connect makes it really hard for modelers to predict exactly whats going to happen next. The phrase they keep using is huge uncertainty. So they are talking about between one and 2000 Hospital Admissions a day later that summer, but, really, thatsjust the middle ground. The rest of that are far higher and others are much lower. 0ne Higher and others are much lower. One thing that they are very clear on, though, is that the way the public behaves could make all the difference. Lightning thanks to catherine. Difference. Lightning thanks to catherine. , difference. Lightning thanks to catherine. ,. , Case Numbers are continuing to rise, fuelled by the highly contagious Delta Variant. You can see the increase on this map here. More than 42 Thousand cases have been reported in the uk in the past 24 hours, the highest daily increase since the middle ofjanuary. 49 deaths have also been reported. England isnt the first country to lift restrictions, and are now cautionary tales from other countries who have done so. 0ne cautionary tales from other countries who have done so. One of them is the netherlands. Restrictions on nightclubs and hospitality, they will listen down the 26th ofjune, but byjuly cases were rising at a significant rate. Lastly, they rose by more than 500 , more than 60 of new cases were among people aged 15 25 years old. Almost 40 who knew where they had been infected set it to happen during a night out. On monday, a fortnight since they were this end, the rules on nightclubs were be imposed. Then there is israel, where just a month ago, the country was celebrating a return to so called normal life. Lets Take A Look at mid june. Israelis had stopped wearing facemasks and abandon all social distancing reels following a rapid Vaccination Drive that had driven down coronavirus infections and deaths. However, a surgeon highly infectious Delta Variant has forced a change in strategy. Facemasks have been reintroduced, as has quarantine for those entering the country. Lets bring back professor young again. What do you think from some of those tales and figures that they uk should be thinking about as it moves towards lifting these restrictions . Well, i think we should probably listen to whats going on in wales and scotland where gradual removal of these restrictions is probably the best approach. We have this more infectious variant. We have seen him as you have reported, the effect of having and other countries like the netherlands, they had vaccinated a large proportion of the adult population. Its interesting in israel, they recognise now how important it is to vaccinated youngsters, so they have started a programme to vaccinate all youngsters over the age of 12. We know that the vaccines are highly effective and safe. Indeed, in the uk, they have been approved for every one of the age of 12. Its a bit misleading, when they think about these figures that we care about these figures that we care about all day, we think about the number of adults doublyjabbed, what is really important of the overall level of immunity in the overall population, and that is 52 now if you take into account children, thats about 52 total vaccinated in the population in the uk. Propensity on, we the population in the uk. Propensity on. We have the population in the uk. Propensity on. We have to the population in the uk. Propensity on, we have to leave the population in the uk. Propensity on, we have to leave it the population in the uk. Propensity on, we have to leave it there, the population in the uk. Propensity on, we have to leave it there, but i on, we have to leave it there, but youve brought up a lot of interesting issues. People are going to be watching it very closely. First country in the world to go this way. We will keep watching it on 0utside source. Hello there. Its amazing, isnt it the Neck Hello there. Its amazing, isnt it how quickly our weather can change . If you think back to monday we had a Months Worth of rain and parts of london and some flash flooding. Compare that with where we are now and indeed looking at the forecast with the weather turning much more settled, sunnier, dryer and warmer. Part of that change is being driven by this length of warm air pushing its way northwards. What is helping to do is helping to build these Big Waves in the Jet Stream. Around the Uk Region that means the air is descending. We have High Pressure forming but over in europe torrential thunderstorms. Weve already seen really nasty flooding across parts of switzerland and germany, and there is more of that to come. Quite nasty, severe flooding in places actually. But at the same time here in the uk, that Big Wave in the Jet Stream builds this big area of High Pressure. And its that that settles our weather down. Skies like these common place on wednesday, more of that to come as we look at the forecast for about the next week as well. Heres the Weather Picture as we go through this evening and overnight. There will be some changes. An area of thicker cloud is working into scotland and northern ireland. That eventually will be sinking its way southwards and quite a warm night, temperatures in liverpool dropping low to 16 celsius, that can be quite uncomfortable for getting to sleep. Thursday its self this area of cloud sinks southward into england and wales before thinning and breaking up. So eventually, we will get some spells of sunshine coming through, much more sunshine for scotland and across eastern areas, its going to be a good deal warmer. But temperatures here probably reaching around 25 celsius. And if we keep that sunshine across the south of wales in southwest england, this is going to be another warm spot with temperatures around 26 celsius or so. For friday, that area of High Pressure is still with us. Again, the northwest seeing a little bit more in the way of cloud, but even here, there will be some bright or sunny spells coming through. For many of us in the sunshine again its going to be another warm day. 22 in belfast, 23 for aberdeen, 26 in cardiff, london and for birmingham as well. Andy the weekend keeps the fine, settled spell of weather going. Day by day it will tend to get a little bit warmer, temperatures up to 25 in manchester this weekend, but its going to be even warmer than that across wales, the midlands, East Anglia and southern england. Temperatures could get pretty close to 30 degrees during the second half of the weekend. That your latest weather. Bye for now. Hello, this is 0utside source. South africa is to deploy up to 25,000 troops to try and quell six days of looting and violence. This is the heart stopping moment a woman throws her baby to safety from a burning building.

Englands mayors urge the governments to think again about Making Mast Mandatory And Public Transport At 42,000 cases of coronavirus are reported in the uk in a single day. Coronavirus are reported in the uk in a single day. Were going to spend the next few minutes looking at the violence in South Africa and what led to it. We start with this man Jacob Zuma. He was president of South Africa for nine years. And although hes been dogged by allegations of corruption hes still hugely popular. 0njune 29 Jacob Zuma was sentenced to jail for defying an instruction to give evidence at an inquiry into corruption during his presidency. He was given 6 days to hand himself in. That was until sunday this was the scene outside his home in Kwazulu Natal that day. His supporters formed what they called a human shield. And Jacob Zuma addressed them. Sending me to jail during the height of a pandemic at my age is the same sentencing me to death. The Death Sentence was declared unconstitutional in South Africa. In 1995. As a result of my own sacrifices and those of millions of South Africans. The deadline to surrender was extended until wednesday midnight. He surrendered minutes before it lapsed. And he was escorted to prison in this convyo. Protests began on thursday. And by the weekend they turned violent. This is some of the destruction in the city of durban in the province of Kwazulu Natal and though the violence did start in Kwazulu Natal it has also spread to another province, gautang. By monday the violence turned deadly and the army was brought into help. Ten people were killed during a Crowd Crush on Monday Night at a mall. Others were reported to have Died when a stack of goods in a warehouse collapsed. The police started Firing Rubber Bullets at looters. This was at a mall in soweto. People took everything they could fridges, mattresses, refrigerators. Soweto is the largest township injohannesburg. And heres the concerns of South Africas president Cyril Ramaphosa. These shops have been looted and infrastructure has been destroyed. This means that our sick cannot get medication from pharmacies, food does not reach Supermarket Shelves and Health Workers cannot go to work. We will soon be facing a huge risk of Food Insecurity and Medication Insecurity in a few weeks. 0urvaccination Medication Insecurity in a few weeks. 0ur Vaccination Programme has been severely disrupted just as it is gaining momentum.

Many believe the trigger for this is much more than the jailing ofJacob Zuma and theyre pointing to the economic situation. Its dire. According to the World Bank over a third of people are unemployed. In younger people thats even higher 46. 3 dont have a job. And heres the economist. South africa is led by the ruling African National Congress the anc. And there are clear divisions between its leaders. Heres one example. This is a tweet from Jacob Zumas daughter accusing president Cyril Ramaphosa of Imprisoning Herfather and of propping up the interests of the minority white elite. In response, president Cyril Ramaphosa says the Anc Party will file charges against president zumas children for allegedly inciting unrest. Heres the spokesperson for the anc in gautang province. In South Africa are youre able to instantly understand. Two other people with a 15 year olds because schools are close in South Africa. We got absolutely no fuel. Part and parcel of the program. That has moved, it shifted. It may have been the trigger but speaking to you now is just pure looting. From 1999 to 2008. Thank you for joining us. Add be curious to hear how you think the anc has handled this unrest. Some feel that leadership has been weak. I dont think there is very much else that the anc can do. Its such a huge number of people who have been involved in this up evil. 0ver such a vast territory it is a massive territory it is a big territory, its a very big urban areas. In terms of the resources that are at the disposal of the government and police there wasnt much else that they could do unless they try to start shooting people with five inanition. Which obviously is not acceptable in South Africa. But that is a sad State Of Affairs then. Weve seen these pictures, they are devastating for the peoples businesses ransacked, they are trying to pick up the pieces, people are afraid to leave their homes, Food Insecurity right now. And the unrest also spreading. How can South Africa turn this around . This is a result of i would say 20 years of neglect and the welfare of the mass of the black population. The quality and have been favouring since he came to power in 1994. Have been favouring the development of the black Middle Class and the black Upper Class. And for the black poor, a huge part of society. I did a study with a Statistician General in 2020 try and identify what we call the underclass. And they comprise 50 of the economically active population, people between the ages of 15 and 65. We are going to have a society like that, on the bottom of the society. And at the top of the Society Work identified 12 of South African society which incredibly popular its Got Higher Standards Of Living than most of people in western europe. Just to give you an illustration there was a joint project between the german embassy and the South African government and the South African government was asked for the germans to provide a Project Leader. When they provided a Project Leader. When they provided a Project Leader. When they provided a Project Leader and said this is the Salary Thisjudgment Project Leader and said this is the salary this judgment normally has the german says we cant pay this because we will be paying him more than we pay a civil servant of his status in germany. The top earners of self evident society is 12 is incredibly opulent. And that is the real dynamite you have. You have half of the population living in poverty and you have ten, 12 living in an incredible opulence. That exceeds western in an incredible opulence. That exceeds western europe. So you bring it back to the inequality or the dire economic situation. With your words we are seeing pictures of people that were looting. Its incredibly evocative and powerful for that we talk about the past 20 years. Are you including ram opposer, zuma and and beck a and that leadership that did not do enough for South Africa . filth. Enough for South Africa . 0h, absolutely enough for South Africa . 0h, absolutely. There enough for South Africa . 0h, absolutely. There has enough for South Africa . Oi, absolutely. There has been policy enough for South Africa . Oi absolutely. There has been policy to build up the class rather than to build up the class rather than to build up the class rather than to build up economic growth for the whole population of South Africa. That has been the focus. Thats why the arc since 2003 has a Policy Called Black Economic Empowerment and affirmative action. Its to promote The Black Elite or the black Middle Class into very comfortable positions at the top end of the civil service and within the private sector, within the top management of the private sector. That has been policy and eventually was bound to catch up with the anc government. What do you recommend then . Is it a change of political party, how can the country, the people ive been speaking to say they havent had this fair since apartheid. What needs to happen immediately . Weill. This fair since apartheid. What needs to happen immediately . Well, i dont see the needs to happen immediately . Well, i dont see the anc needs to happen immediately . Well, i dont see the Anc Changing needs to happen immediately . Well, i dont see the Anc Changing its needs to happen immediately . Well, i dont see the Anc Changing its ways. I dont see the Anc Changing its ways. The black Middle Class and the black Upper Class as well as the white Upper Class, they are so comfortable. Where i lived In London for many years the number of bmws and Mercedes Benz is what you see in South Africa, you dont see them in south london. This is a hugely opulent class which has been living off the cheap Labour System and the huge Mineral Deposits of South Africa. This has now become second nature for them. So they are not to change and South Africa has to find a way of changing. Let change and South Africa has to find a way of changing a way of changing. Let us see what ha ens. A way of changing.

Political scientists and former president of South Africa. Lets turn to georgia. Four independent Television Channels have suspended broadcasting for 24 hours, in protest at assaults on journalists covering a Gay Pride event. Last Monday Hundreds of anti lgbt protesters showed up to a planned Gay Pride Parade in the capital tbilisi, many of them far right extremists. It quickly turned violent. These pictures give you a sense of the chaos. Anti gay protesters broke into the headquarters of the tbilisi Pride March. 53 journalists were attacked. And the Pride March was called off. One of the injured was this Cameraman Lekso Lashkarava who suffered severe facial injuries. Here he is leaving hospital. So thats monday. On sunday he was found dead at his home. His cause of death is unknown. Protests over his death erupted immediately. 8,000 joined a rally outside parliament in tbilisi On Sunday. Critics accuse the government of pitting violent extremists against the media, an accusation it denies. Then this was a day later On Monday. These pictures are of protesters and Opposition Groups storming georgias parliament building. Scuffles broke out. Theyre demanding the resignation of the prime minister who they say is propping up homophobic and nationalist groups. He denies that and heres who he blames for the violence. It was yet another failed conspiracy against the state, masterminded by anti state and anti church forces, which failed and will never be successful in our country. We all saw that the tragedy of this person was attempted to be used for their own political agenda. Although discrimination against Sexual Orientation is illegal in georgia the country is still very conservative. Kety abashidze is a senior Human Rights officerfor the human Rights House Foundation in tbilisi how conservative is georgia and who is driving the violence . Was this expected at this time .

It was at the same time a longstanding l the same time a long Standing Problem for georgia and in general this is lgbtq rice their supporters and defenders. However on the other hand Theres Level of an action from the state, the complete failure to protect the march, to protect the journalists who are trying to cover the events unfolding On Monday. It was still shocking to most of us. It was still shocking to most of us. It was a huge disbelief amongst those working at Human Rights in georgia for decades. We also saw that the state did not fail in Rights Protection in protecting inequality in the minorities in georgia. It also failed in rhetoric. We saw the prime minister and balding the violent groups On Monday by calling for the cancellation of the Pride March on the 5th ofjuly. We furthermore saw his remarks that the Government Meeting On Monday where he noted that basically the government has no intention of protecting minorities. Because this is not the will of some mythical majority of the country and this is not something that is in line with so called traditions. All and all it was a long Track Record of failing to protect lgbtq rights communities defenders, supporters and also is still shocking by the level of state in action and rhetoric.

Minority, dignity, media was attacked, a journalist Died. 52 others were injured. We also star attacks against Civil Society organisations including the office of Gay Pride which was ransacked. Then We Saw this very familiar language used by democracies coming from the minister of georgia coming from the minister of georgia coming from monday saying there is basically no appetite for respecting basically no appetite for respecting basic legal obligations of the state and protect minorities. That is very worrisome. 0n the other hand we know these violent radical nationalistic homophobic groups for years. These are the peoples whose faces, names are the peoples whose faces, names are well known to the general public. Well known to the police, well known to the government. And the leaders are still free. They are still at large. We did see some very few arrests on the first day, only eight people were detained administratively not currently on the 5th ofjuly. Then We Saw some criminal charges pressed against some of the perpetrators, members of the sonic groups. But very few and they do face imprisonment and they do face criminal charges. The list does not measure up to the scale of the violence. And we are nowhere nearin the violence. And we are nowhere near in public condemnation of either of this Homophobia Or Violence coming from the state. We see that they are emboldening these actions.

Britney spears fight to end her Fathers Conservatorship is heading back to court later. And today could mark big changes in her case. Herfather Jamie Spears has been her conservator for the last 13 years because of concerns over his daughters mental health. Its given him control over her financial and personal affairs . Sparking free britney protests by fans calling for ms spears to be given independence from him. Last Month Ms spears delivered a testimony in court. It was the first time she had spoken out publically about her case and she didnt hold back. That Testimony Kick started a series of major changes in her case. First, her court appointed lawyer, samuel ingham, resigned. He had come under scruitiny following her testimony. The wealth management firm, bessemer trust, which acted as a Co Conservator of Spears Financial Assets of around 60m . Alongside herfather . Withdrew from overseeing her estate. Her manager larry rudolph, stepped down after overseeing her career since the mid 905. And her father, Jamie Spears, has asked the court to investigate her allegations. Its not clear if Britney Spears will appear in court today, but The Big Question at today 5 hearing is whether she will be able to select and hire her own lawyer. According to the new york times, ms spears has been in touch with this man mathew rosengart. Hes a former federal prosecutor and is expected to appear remotely in court this evening to argue that it is ms spears constitutional right to choose her own lawyer.

I dont have any Insider Information that if i was standing in the shoes of Britney Spears attorney i would go to the Court Of Appeals and ask them to find that the conservatorship was never warranted in the first place. Conservatorships were meant for people that are truly unable to provide for their own health, safety, food, clothing and shelter. It was never meant to control the lives of people that are actively able to run their own lives, perform and so forth. That would be the first step in the second step, if that doesnt work is file immediately a petition for termination of the conservatorship. Why do you support the free Britney Movement .

They had it right intuitively when they handed me documents about a year ago i could see that this whole conservatorship was established because the reports by the court appointed attorney. And by the court appointed attorney. And that. We have to leave it there but you are a major point. We shall watch out theres transpires in the coming hours. Thank you so much for joining us on outside source. Hello there. Its amazing, isnt it, how quickly our weather can change . If you think back to monday we had a Months Worth of rain in parts of london and some flash flooding. Compare that with where we are now, and indeed looking at the forecast, with the weather turning much more settled, sunnier, dryer and warmer. Part of that change is being driven by this lump of warm air pushing its way northwards. What that is helping to do is helping to build these Big Waves in the Jet Stream. Now, around the uk, weve got a ridge, and that means the air is descending, we have High Pressure forming. But over in europe, torrential thunderstorms. Weve already seen really nasty flooding across parts of switzerland and germany, and there is more of that to come. Quite nasty, severe flooding in places, actually. But at the same time, here in the uk, that Big Wave in the Jet Stream builds this big area of High Pressure. And its that that settles our weather down. So, skies like these come in place on wednesday, more of that to come as we look at the forecast for about the next week as well. Heres the Weather Picture as we go through this evening and overnight. There will be some changes. An area of thicker cloud is working into scotland and northern ireland. That eventually will be sinking its way southwards into parts of england and wales. And quite a warm night, temperatures in liverpool dropping low to around 16 celsius, thats going to be quite uncomfortable for getting off to sleep. For thursday itself, this area of cloud sinks southward into england and wales before thinning and breaking up. So eventually, we will get some spells of sunshine coming through, much more sunshine for scotland and across eastern areas, its going to be a good deal warmer, with temperatures here probably reaching around 25 celsius. And if we keep that sunshine across the south of wales and southwest england, this is going to be another warm spot with temperatures around 26 celsius or so. Now, for friday, that area of High Pressure is still with us. Again, the northwest seeing a little bit more in the way of cloud, but even here, there will be some bright or sunny spells coming through. For many of us, in the sunshine, again, its going to be another warm day. 22 in belfast, 23 for aberdeen, but 26 in cardiff, london and for birmingham as well. And the weekend keeps the fine, settled spell of weather going. Day by day, it will tend to get a little bit warmer, temperatures up to 25 in manchester this weekend, but its going to be even warmer than that across wales, the midlands, East Anglia and southern england, where temperatures could get pretty close to 30 degrees during the second half of the weekend. That your latest weather. Bye for now. This is bbc news. Im martine croxall. The headlines at 8pm the government has announced its moving the Balearic Islands in spain from its green list to amber. The move, to come into force On Monday, is a response to a big rise in covid cases on majorca, ibiza and menorca. Well, unfortunately when we put them on the green watchlist, from then, weve seen the rates double, and also the rates of positivity of these tests doubled, meaning that were going to need to move quickly. Theres growing pressure on the government from mayors and Council Leaders across england to make masks compulsory on public transport. Most covid rules are set to be lifted in wales on the 7th of august, but facemasks will still be required in most indoor public places.
