chris is following the story for us. there's a lot of pressure on the coup leaders in niger. this is as a result of the coup, the political development in that country and also its similar to the eu's position. it's similar to the eu's position. the eu has suspended aid, both financial and military to these states. the secretary of state earlier threatened that the country risks millions of dollars in aid is being suspended because of the coup and there has been action from the african union which has given the military in niger 50 days maximum to return to the barracks and restore democracy. they've also asked for the release of the current president who we know it is still being held by the military. we who we know it is still being held by the military-— who we know it is still being

actions from the european union?— european union? for a lot of country the united states and others, there l the united states and others, there is an almost automatic response to military coups. the suspension of military coups. the suspension of military aid, suspension development, and certainly in a place like niger which has such a large population depending on humanitarian aid to be the same. we also looking at many of these countries trying to let the... there is two weeks to restore civilisation, civilian rule so i think as much as western democracies have a play but they tend to follow when there is a coup, i think they're also trying to give space to let the region come together defence of democracy before they jump in and lead with sanctions or other tactics. jump in and

doors of ministries open, schools, clinics, all of that depends on donor assistance coming into the government. in addition, if they are not able to export their principal exports which mostly go to europe, for example uranium, which entirely goes to france almost, they will see a cut—off of their export earnings in a major way. so the government will see their earnings dry out very quickly and if we can not support the citizens of this country they will feel the effects very soon. they are still trying to recover them with the coronavirus downturn, and their economy. d0 them with the

seen an uptick of terrorist attacks inside the country and so the military aid and support assistance, training, this is suspended so you're going to see further encroachment and these jihadists will see this as a chance to expand their territory so it's very likely in fact we'll see rather quickly a degradation of the security environment in the country but, again, this is the irony of this coup, the one in mali and burkina faso. they don't believe civilian rulers can manage security threats in the country so this is the same playbook they are playing from right now. mali and burkina faso have had issues with security and i would expect to see the same here. i’m expect to see the same here. i'm lad ou expect to see the same here. i'm glad you brought up both those countries because we have

understand that because the president was doing the right thing and his predecessor in terms of transparency and anti corruption, democratic principles thanit corruption, democratic principles than it was a great deal of benefit to the country from western donors so i think that we will see there is pressure on this new regime. are they able to take advantage of the tactics used? propaganda, corruption, those kinds of things. it's something we will have to watch closely. it's something we will have to watch closel . . ., ., _, , closely. cameron, what comes next? we've not closely.

i think there's no lock. i certainly don't think 48 hours after the kiwi can abandon the billions of dollars and tens of millions of people that we've been supporting in the region. just because a group of disgruntled army officers decide they don't wanna lose theirjobs and they're going to take this entire country hostage. i think it would set a bad example for the rest of the region.— the

israel for the 30th week in a row, the first saturday of mass demonstrations since the overhaul was passed by the israeli parliament this week. the new law limits the supreme courts ability to nullify legislation it deems unreasonable. military intelligence officials warned that benjamin netanyahu is seeing this as a historic week point that could be exploited. an an explosion at a fireworks warehouse in southern thailand has killed at least nine people and injured more than 100 others. it also destroyed a large part of the town of sungai golok. it's thought the blast was caused by welders working on the warehouse. we know that at least three of those killed in this incident were children and that over 120 people were seriously injured. this is where it happened in the south of thailand, very close to the malaysian border in the town of sungai kolok. and if we just look at some pictures of the aftermath of this incident, we can see the level of destruction caused. the impact wasn't confined to the fireworks warehouse. we know that neighbouring buildings were shaken, windows were shattered, roofs collapsed. as these pictures show and we actually heard from one eyewitness who lives 100 metres from the site, and he said that he was at home when he heard a loud, thunderous bang and his whole house shook. i saw my roof was wide open, he said. i looked outside and i saw a house collapsing and people lying on the ground everywhere. it was chaos. now we understand that the fire has now been contained and the local governor says that it was caused by a technical error in still welding during construction of the building. but thailand doesn't have a brilliant record when it comes to incidents involving fireworks. just five days ago, one woman was killed and ten others were seriously injured in a similar accident in the north of the country. so although this is a particularly tragic case, it's not an isolated one. and that is why we are seeing some public pressure on the authorities with regard to safety in the workplace over the last couple of years. mrtrump sued cnn mr trump sued cnn for $475 million for describing his unsubstantiated claim that the 2021 presidential election had been stolen by him. it created a false and incendiary comparison to him and hitler. it was ruled that cnn was not defamatory and said the following: republican presidential hopefuls gathered on the candidates pitched themselves to the party faithful but a few of the presidents rivals decided to criticise him for the criminal charges including the top rival, the florida governor. he was asked for his views on the charges. is all of this legal stuff his face and disqualify him? that is all of this legal stuff his face and disqualify him?— is all of this legal stuff

biggest gay pride march, kyiv pride. organisers hope it'll cement the city's links with the country after hosting this year's eurovision song contest on behalf of ukraine. our correspondent, josh parry, has more from merseyside in liverpool. in this rainbow, the yellow and blue take centre stage. thousands of people, including hundreds of ukrainians, marched through liverpool's streets as the city played host to kyiv pride. we understand that people are kind of tired of the war, but you cannot be tired because people are dying on the front line, our friends and loved ones, queer people, are dying on the front line to protect freedom. liverpool and ukraine already have a special relationship after the city stepped in to host eurovision back in may. organisers see this march as a chance to continue that legacy. those marching carried messages of support for those on the front line back home. like combat medics boris and alina. are you looking forward to the day that you can both march together? yes, because it will mean the war is over and we can return to some sort of normality in our lives. why was it important that liverpool played host to kyiv pride this year? i think when we stepped in to do eurovision we found that the reception that we got from the country about hosting it on behalf of ukraine was really positive. so planning for pride wasjust going on as normal anyway, so planning for pryde wasjust going on as normal anyway, and it was suggested to us that at that point we do a joint pryde. the logistics were tricky, but we have managed to do it today. while eurovision may have united liverpool and ukraine in music, today, pride has united them in protest. josh parry, bbc news, liverpool. steve rosenberg has created a piece of the piano based around the war, when it started. in a world which feels as if it has been turned upside down, writing music has begun my way of charting what is happening around me. sombre chords i rate isolation after russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine. after russia embraced war and faced international isolation. the months pass, the war drags on. the second movement — parallel reality. from morning till night, the state media in russia declares, "we didn't invade ukraine. russia never starts wars. "it's the west waging war on russia." the picture presented here is back to front, inside out, a parallel reality. after 16 months of war, you can feel the instability in russia. armed mercenaries have mutinied and marched on moscow. and so the third movement. time of troubles or in russian... that russian word refers to a murky time of turmoil, chaos and coups. it is a recurring feature of russian history. where will my piece go from here? how many more movements? how will they sound ? it's impossible to predict, just like russia's future. this is bbc news. stay with us if you can. hello. further showers to come through this evening and overnight. how about sunday? on the satellite picture you can see the swirl of cloud. and then behind me, this shield of cloud rolling in from the atlantic bringing rain through the south of england through the first part of sunday morning. scattered heavy showers and then through the day this band of rain passing eastwards getting into parts of northern ireland, and the south—east of england by sunday afternoon and with that, a strong wind at times. with some missed and merc on the hills. the cricket, at the oval there is an increasing chance of some showers as we go through the day. some disruption through the day. some disruption through the play is quite likely. as we head every sunday evening, that band of rain continues to make its way northward getting up into the southern and central parts of scotland. a lot of cloud further south with some misty aspects in place. this first band of rain on monday pushes into scotland with some very wet weather moving across the channel islands and infringing into the southern counties and there is cloud and showers, temperatures between 17—22 c. heading deeper into the week, this pressure is going to push away eastwards. it may be that there will be more unrest in the middle part of the week. the general pattern is this air will be bringing this low north and that will make it feel warm at times. temperatures into the start of august, generally below the average for the time of year. there will continue to be heavy showers at times. some dryer interludes. it is going to be a cold, dark night for many south africans with stage 6 load shedding announced. south africa is sinking into darkness, its crumbling power system no longer able to keep the lights on. the poorest here hit hardest. after 20, 25 years. you're going to have to close down? yes. the power crisis is the result of decades of mismanagement and massive corruption, criminal gangs ready to kill anyone who tries to stop the looting. i was shaking badly. i was literally lying like this and i started gasping for air. a mixture of cyanide and sodium arsenite. today, south africa still gets almost all its power from burning coal. it's a lethal addiction. it's killing us. this coal is killing us. the answer, to many, is a green revolution. but can western money and pressure help south africa
