The former pakistani Prime Minister imran khan has called on his supporters to protest peacefully, after he was found guilty on Corruption Charges and sentenced to three years in prison. A Court In Islamabad ruled that he had failed to declare income from the sale of gifts he received while in office. The verdict means he isnt allowed to hold Public Office for the next five years, pakistan is just months away from a general election. From islamabad, Caroline Davies reports. Sirens blaring, police truck after police truck, arresting former Prime Minister imran khan. The judgment came from here. Police filled every corner in islamabads session court. Mr khan says that the case is politically motivated. The court said he is dishonest. So, this is after months and months of waiting, we now finally have an announcement. Imran khan has been found guilty and has been sentenced to three years� imprisonment. Outside court, shouts of, your show is over, khan. Minutes later, we heard hed been arrested. This was what happened last time mr khan was arrested. Protests, some violent. Mr khan was released, but his party faced a dramatic crackdown. Many of his senior Party Leadership were arrested, then announced that theyd left the party. Police picked up thousands of his supporters. Will the protests happen again . Imran khans Team Released this pre recorded video after hed been arrested today. Translation iwant to make one request. You should not sit quietly at home. All my struggle is not just for myself. It is for you, for the future of your kids. If you do not stand up for your rights, you will live like a slave. Outside his house, there were a small number chanting, waving flags. Then quickly taken away. Its been a matter of months, but the atmosphere in pakistan has changed. This decision will mean mr Khan Cannot Run in the upcoming elections. Its pretty useful for your party, though, that your main political opponent has just been disqualified in the run up for a general election. Well, you have to be accountable for your deeds in law. This is nothing to do with politics. A person whos been Proven Guilty by the court has to be arrested. His lawyers intend to appeal the decision but for now, the decision, but for now, mr khan is held by police and his politicalfuture is deeply uncertain.

This is a story very much about imran khan but it is also a story about pakistans political system. What does this latest twist tells about the state of it .

It really suggests that someone like imran khan who is very popular and had become more popular over the last year or so is not going to necessarily be able to use that popularity to catapult him to a place where he has more political clout. He fell out with the military sometime ago and the military as well as the civilian leadership does not want him to contest elections, whenever they happen. We see now that he has been arrested and indeed he has been disqualified and again it suggests that popularity does not necessarily translate to political clout in pakistans political system.

Team will probably appeal to the Supreme Court for relief and the last time he was arrested in may the Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal and he was freed just a few days after he was arrested so clearly the legal team will be hoping perhaps the Supreme Court will be willing to make a similar decision. The way in which he was arrested and convicted happened without him being present at the hearing, his lawyers were not present and that suggests the court might be willing to rule in a way that could lead to him being freed but we dont know. There is a lot of uncertainty right now. The Supreme Court has been and will continue to be a key player in this long running political crisis. Irate be a key player in this longrunning political crisis. Political crisis. We have seen in the ast political crisis. We have seen in the past what political crisis.

We will see, certainly has legal team will make efforts to see if something can change but at this point, yes, it is very true that his political future is in doubt.

Ukraine has warned that six Russian Black Sea ports will be considered a War Risk Area from the 23rd august. For the second day running, ukraine has used a sea drone, loaded with hundreds of kilos of explosives, to attack russian shipping in the black sea. In the latest strike, a fuel tanker was hit south of the bridge across the kerch strait. This unverified video was sent to the bbc by a Ukrainian Security service source, which they say shows the moment of attack. The vessel is under us sanctions for delivering jet fuel to the Russian Military in syria. Moscow accused kyiv of a terrorist attack. Ukraine said the attack took place in its own territorial waters. On friday, a Russian Naval vessel was towed into port in novorossiysk after a similar attack. On friday, a Russian Naval vessel was towed into port in novorossiysk after a similar attack. Its been two months since Ukrainian Forces launched their long awaited Counter Offensive aimed at pushing the invading Russian Forces out of the areas theyve seized. The uk, the us and other western nations have invested heavily in these efforts donating billions of pounds of military equipment, and training soldiers. So, two months on, how is ukraine coping against formidable russian defences . The bbc� s security correspondent Frank Gardner has worked with bbc verify to assess what progress is being made. Right, so this is what the map looks like 18 months on after the full scale russian invasion last year. If it looks familiar, thats because it is. It really hasnt changed that much since last november with the russian occupied areas shaded in red. Now, in orderfor ukraines counteroffensive to succeed, it needs to cut the russian area in two. Now, earlier this summer, in earlyjune, south of the city, the town of orikhiv, there was a battle. The russian defensive lines are in black here. Lets have a zoom in and look here. Here you can see the russian defensive lines, heavily mined, interspersed trenches, artillery, bunkers, very hard for ukraine to get through all of that. This verified Drone Footage here shows what happened when a ukrainian armoured patrol ran into a minefield. Some of the close up stuff is, frankly, too graphic to show. But the point is that these minefields and russian defences are so heavy, theyre so intense, that it makes it very slow going for the ukrainians to advance southwards. And the russians have been quite innovative in some of the things theyve done. So this, for example, is their tm62 anti tank mine. Now, some of ukraines armour will withstand a strike by one of these, but not by two. So what are the russians do . Theyre putting two of them, one on top of another, to blow up through the hull of a ukrainian armoured vehicle. And this footage here shows a whole bunch of these russian anti tank mines that have disabled a western supplied tank. Another weapon that the russians are using very effectively is the alligator, the ka52 attack helicopter. Heres some footage of that. So given all these factors, how successful could this Counter Offensive actually be . The Ukrainian Forces wanted to retake all the occupied territories, including crimea. I do not think that that will happen any time soon. Especially in light of what were seeing right now. What ukraine does have in its favour, though, is some very powerful western supplied weaponry, such as, for example, the storm shadow long range missile, british supplied. And these are allowing ukraine to hit distant targets, like fuel depots, storage points, trying to undermine russias defences from within. But, you know, the problem here is that all of this takes time and thats a luxury ukraine doesnt have. Within three months, the rainy season will have arrived, turning a lot of the roads into mud, making it difficult for ukraine to advance. Frank gardner, bbc news. Lets take you to israel now. Thousands of protesters are demonstrating in tel aviv against the governments controversialjudicial reform plans. The protests come a day after israels Supreme Court began hearing the first of a number of appeals against changes to the judicial system which have caused months of Mass Protests. Opponents fear the changes could undermine the countrys democratic system, tipping it into authoritarian territory. They worry that nationalist and ultra orthodox religious parties allied to mr netanyahu will be able to shape policy with unchecked power. But the government argues that the reforms are necessary to correct an imbalance in power which has seen the courts increasingly intervene in political decisions. Thousands of uk scouts are leaving an International Event in south korea that has been hit by extreme heat. Hundreds have fallen ill at the outdoor world Scout Jamboree, which is attended by more than 40,000 young people from around the world, amid 35 degree heat. Jean mackenzie, reports from seoul. As the sun pounded the campsite, the uk scouts packed their bags and boarded buses, bound for more Comfortable Hotel rooms. You can see just how little respite this campsite has from the scorching sun. But one of the uk team members who i spoke to earlier said this decision to pull out the british scouts wasntjust because of this extreme heat. It was also because of concerns about the facilities and the food. They were no longer confident that they could keep everyone here safe. But the remaining scouts we spoke to are happy to still be here. The uk Scout Contingent is being relocated this weekend to seoul, back to hotels and hostels there. In common with the americans, who i believe are going to another site, and so on. They are going to try and arrange some kind of Alternative Programme of events. But the remaining scouts we spoke to are happy to still be here. Its very hot here but its still fun. We are learning a lot of new people and we are making the best out of it. Blancas sister was taken to hospital because of the heat, but shes recovering. And so are the conditions, she says. The british scouts have all been pulled out. How do you feel about that . Blancas sister was taken to hospital because of the heat, but shes recovering. And so are the conditions, she says. The british scouts have all been pulled out. How do you feel about that . I am sad that they didnt stay. And they are really cool people. And i am sad for them that they had to leave because i really enjoyed spending time with them. The organisers are now desperately trying to stop others from jumping ship. At this Press Conference earlier, the Prime Minister announced he was sending more medical staff, along with a 700 strong army of workers to maintain the toilets and showers. Thats good enough for the chilean contingent, who plan to dance to the end. Jean mackenzie, bbc news, Unseasonable Weather has hit parts of europe, with flooding in slovenia and austria.
