he received while in office from 2018 to 2022. the verdict means he is not allowed to hold public office for five years, with pakistan just months away from a general election. our correspondent 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 islamabad's session court. mr khan says that the case is politically motivated. the court said he's 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 he'd 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 they'd left the party. police picked up thousands of his supporters. will the protests happen again? imran khan's team released this pre—recorded video after he'd been arrested today. translation: iwant to make one request. you should not sit quietly at home. all my struggle is notjust 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. it's been a matter of months, but the atmosphere in pakistan has changed. this decision will mean mr khan cannot run in the upcoming elections. it's 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 who's been proven guilty by the court has to be arrested. his lawyers intend to appeal the decision but, for now, mr khan is held by police and his politicalfuture is deeply uncertain. with a look now at the timeline of events which led to today's sentence, here's tom brada. the past five years have been turbulent ones both for imran khan and for politics in pakistan as a whole. now, back in 2018, imran khan was sworn in as the newly elected prime minister, but just four years later, things had taken a turn. he was ousted in a no—confidence vote and his opponents accused him of mismanaging the economy and failing to tackle corruption. but mr khan did not plan to go quietly. instead, he hoped to force early elections, and in may 2022, he led a march into the capital, islamabad, and tensions between mr khan and the authorities started to build. later that year, in october, he suffered a major political blow when the election commission disqualified him from running for public office for five years on corruption grounds. but the decision, i should say, did little to halt his momentum. he continued to campaign and, in november2022, there was a dramatic development when there was an attempt on his life. he was shot in the leg at a rally in the punjab province. now, he did go on to recover but, at this point, his legal struggles troubles to add up. and they came to a head in may 2023, when imran khan was arrested on corruption charges while in a court complex. his arrest led to mass protests around the country and he was later released, with the arrest declared illegal by the supreme court. but since then, his supporters have come under increased pressure. that leads us to august 5th and these latest developments, with mr khan being handed a three—year jail sentence over corruption charges. and this could well spell the end of his political career. police in israel say a local security guard has —— is now dead in what they're describing as a suspected terrorist attack in tel aviv. the police say the alleged gunman was also shot and is receiving medical treatment. the latest violence comes after two palestinian teenagers were killed in the occupied west bank on friday. meanwhile, protests are being held across israel against the government's planned overhaul of thejudiciary — for the 31st week in a row. demonstrators are carrying on with mass gatherings in tel aviv, despite the earlier attack there. the protests have gained in intensity in recent weeks, as the first bill in the government's programme was put before parliament and voted through. france says it will support efforts by the west african regional bloc ecowas to re—instate the ousted president of niger, mohammed bazoum. ecowas gave the coup leaders a week to restore the president, or potentially face military action. that deadline will expire on sunday. mr bazoum's prime minister was out of the country when the military seized power. on saturday, he was in paris, meeting with the french government and greeting protestors outside the nigerian embassy. in an interview, prime minister ouhoumoudou mahamadou dismissed the "pro—coup and anti—french" protests taking place in niger. sure, they make a lot of noise, but i can assure you they don't represent national opinion in the country in question. with france, we had a very good cooperation on the economic front, and we also had very good cooperation on the military front, an operation which has moreover borne fruit in the fight against terrorists in the sahel. earlier, i spoke with alexis akwagyiram, managing editor at the news website semafor africa. thank you for being here. there is a lot of talk about. first, i want to start with this seven—day deadline given by this group of west african leaders to reinstate the democratic government there in niger. that deadline is set to expire in really a matter of hours now, coming up on sunday. what do you expect will happen when that deadline expires? so i strongly expect that when the deadline expires, we won't see any fireworks. there will probably be more efforts behind—the—scenes to pursue a diplomatic solution, because ultimately, ecowas does not want a full—on conflict. it really doesn't want that. and we will see more efforts to try and find a way to make this work. ultimately, that seven—day ultimatum that was issued said after a week, then all options would be on the table. that includes the option of force. but i think ultimately, the regional body will want to reserve the use of force as a last resort. they won't want to do that initially. what other options are on the table? what else could ecowas do to try to pressure this junta to return the control to the democratic leader? there are a number of levers they can pull. one is to just make life as difficult as possible. for example, the giant southern neighbour, nigeria, has turned off the lights. niger relies on it for much of its electricity, they have turned off the main transmission lines. as well as that, we have seen an ecowas delegation go to neighbouring algeria and libya, so those are the northern borders of niger, to speak to them. so those ports are open because at the moment, ecowas has imposed economic sanctions and closed access to ports to the south, but to the north, as access routes are still open, they might want some kind of partnership, some kind of buy—in from those oher countries in the region, to make life harder for thejunta there. as well as that, what they might do is pursue some kind of diplomatic solution whereby they can arrange the release of the democratically elected president mohamed bazoum in exchange for him agreeing to some kind of democratic process whereby he stands down and there is an election. because ultimately, what we have seen is that now, there is lots of popular support for what has gone on, and it's awkward for ecowas, because then if they push and try and install, reinstall the president who's now seemingly not so popular, then it's hard for them. so that might be another thing, some kind of diplomatic solution, in that respect. you mentioned that popular support for what's really been a coup. we've seen demonstrations on the streets. and among those demonstrators, we've seen pro—russian sentiment, russian flags being waved, and chanting pro—putin slogans. what is behind that amount of support and maybe even a desire for russia to get involved in niger? i think we've got to be cautious. to some extent, that might have been choreographed in some way. there is a degree of stage management because, obviously, russian flags don't come from nowhere. but i do think there is a genuine push from people to move towards russia. but the idea is that people are frustrated about what they see as the french, and the failure of the french, the fact that the french were the colonial power and that they never really left. and that ultimately, there has been an insurgency on a number of fronts in niger, and the western push has not stopped it. so there have been islamist insurgents in the south—east who are allied to islamic state, and in the south—west, who have come from mali and are allied to al-anda. and thousands of people have either been killed orforced to flee their homes. now, what these people have seen is that in neighbouring mali, the military rulers there have pulled in the russians and they feel that it's been more effective, because mali pushed out french troops, they pushed out the un peacekeepers, and said what they want is a fighting force of more aggressive troops that will fight the islamist insurgents, and they feel they have that in russia. and russia has also done this elsewhere on the continent. so the central african republic's president really owes his existence, the fact he is still in power, to russian troops, because he brought them in and they fought insurgents there. so basically, the people in nigerare thinking, well, the russian fighting forces from wagner are proving to be far more effective in battling these insurgents. and, alexis, you've done some interesting reporting as well with semafor about the potential influence of russian propaganda in niger. absolutely. i think this is actually part of it as well. over the last two or three years, the russians have fought a very effective propaganda war, specifically against france, but also more widely against the west. they have sought to set themselves up as allies, as partners against colonial invaders, and they've done this through rt — russia today, the rolling news tv service — and through sputnik, the de—facto wire service. through those two outlets, they have partnered with african broadcasters, providing content. it could be audio content in a podcast, or tv footage, video footage, of the likes that in the west, we would get from news agencies. they could get that from a russian news agency as well. and all of that is framing news reports so that they are from a russian perspective, a russian worldview. and it's very effective, because then, when it's delivered on local stations, it's not as if you're seeing a russian face or a russian hand controlling that, it's coming from a local news broadcasters. as well as that, they have a network of influencers that they work with who are spreading messages on social media as well. really interesting stuff. alexis, managing editor of semafor africa, thank you so much. thank you. a federaljudge has given donald trump's legal team a deadline of 5pm monday to respond to a request by prosecutors. it would limit trump's handling of evidence related to his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. the former president's lawyers asked for the date to be pushed to thursday, but it has just been denied. special counseljack smith filed court papers late on friday expressing concern about one of mr trump's social media posts. prosectors are seeking a protective order that would prevent him from improperly sharing confidential evidence publicly. our north america correspondent sean dilley has more. a few more details are coming out, actually. we have been trawling through the paperwork so you don't have to. ultimately, on friday, the prosecution had applied for what they called a protective order. and they did that because they said they were concerned that when they released information to donald trump, information that he is entitled to to defend himself, by the way, they said they are ready to do that, but if this was shared, it could interfere with the due process of the case and potentially impact witnesses. that is their concern. now, the defence said that they only had very little time to prepare for this because, they said, that a friday afternoon is a wholly inappropriate time to prepare for something. now, the prosecution was initially asking for an immediate order to prevent donald trump... orat least, limit what he could say about this particular case. thejudge denied that, set the deadline for monday. after the ping—ponging between the defence and the prosecution, there has been yet another filing to the court by jack smith, the lead prosecutor. and he says, "we disagree with what the defence says. judge, you should refuse their order to extend. we've been discussing this with them until wednesday, but they were not playing ball". already, no trial date set, but there is ping—ponging back and forth. there are other court cases mr trump is involved in, the separate classified documents case in florida, for example, that is another case that jack smith, the federal special prosecutor — special prosecutor because he is independent of the department of justice — is involved in. now, in this case, again, we were expecting this. there is some toing and froing as to how much time the defence needs to prepare their legal defence. everyone is entitled to a proper defence. the prosecution say, "we are ready to go as soon as possible". the defence say, "we can't tell you when we are ready until we've seen any of the evidence". the big argument we need to look out for will be on the 28th of august when, based on the information that is given to donald trump at the prosecution, the two parties will argue when he can stand trial. will that be before the 2024 date or afterwards? well, it seems eminently possible it would be before. bangladesh is grappling with an unpredecented outbreak of dengue fever, with hospitals struggling to make space for patients as the disease spreads quickly in the densely—populated country. official figures show nearly 300 people have died so far this year, and more than 61,000 have been infected. unseasonable weather has been hitting parts of europe, with flooding in slovenia and austria. with storm antoni passing over large parts of britain and ireland. our reporter nicky schiller has been monitoring what's happening across europe. unseasonable summer weather has hit large parts of europe. i want to take you first to georgia and show you some pictures there. as the search for survivors continues after a deadly landslide on thursday, you can see there a torrent of mud swept down that valley. 11 people died and dozens are feared missing. the army has been brought in to try and help find them. the good news is that 200 people were evacuated to safety. now, if we move to slovenia next, there has been torrential rain there. a month's worth of rain fell in 2a hours, hitting the north—east and centre of the country. now, three people died. there has been a meeting of the national security council and, afterwards, the prime minister said it was the worst natural disaster in slovenia's recent history since independence over 30 years ago. he said the scale of the damage from the floods is estimated to exceed half a billion euros, and a clear—up operation is under way there. now, slovenia's neighbours, austria, have also been hit by torrential rain. we can show you pictures there, where there has been a large amount of saturated land, and that meant that there has been flooding, people taking to boats even to be able to get evacuated out to safety. and a lot of damage to residential properties, and a lot of people using sandbags to try and protect them. now, elsewhere in europe, i want to move to dublin in ireland now, where there has been a rescue operation there. again, the emergency services bringing in inflatable boats to take eight people to safety. now, ireland and large parts of the united kingdom have been hit by storm antoni, the first named storm of the year so far in the uk and ireland, and a number of events have been cancelled in the uk. and there have been strong winds as well in parts of wales and south—west england. finally, i want to take you to germany, and one city there has had to bring out snow ploughs. let me show you these pictures. it's because there has been a freak violent storm, dumping large quantities of hail in the streets of one city. in one case, there was 30 centimetres built up of thick, thick hail. and as you can see there, the snow ploughs being deployed, so not weather you would associate with summer. a look now at some other stories making headlines. the texas attorney general�*s office has filed an appeal with the state supreme court, effectively blocking a judge's hours—old order that temporarily lifted a ban on emergency abortions. the temporary injunction would have allowed doctors to exercise their own medical judgment about when patients need abortions to protect their lives or health. the injunction applied to pregnancies with fatal fetal anomalies, which are not explicitly mentioned in texas's abortion bans. a general election in pakistan later this year will be based on a new census, which could cause the results to be delayed. the announcement fuelled opposition fears that a caretaker administration could be set up to oversee the vote, causing the polling day to be pushed back by months. opposition leader imran khan says this is the latest move by prime minister shahbaz sharif to avoid facing a general election. let's turn to the women s world cup now where, for the first time, three african countries have made it to the group of 16 stage of the tournament. morocco, nigeria and south africa have all qualified ? this has not happened before in a men's or women's world cup. spain has also made it through, after thrashing switzerland 5—1. and japan have also qualified, taking down norway 3?1. as you can see, much to the delight of fans who travelled to new zealand to watch the game. defending champions the us women's national soccer team will return to the pitch to defend their title in just a few hours. earlier, i spoke to roberto rojas, sports reporter at dazn. i want to start off by talking about this upcoming match between the us and sweden. some people have pointed out this has become somewhat of a tradition now in the world cup. what can we expect from that match? both the united states and sweden will face each other, and personally, i think this is where the americans come as underdogs, which is surprising enough, given how dominant they have been on the world stage for so many years. the way they played into the group stage, not exactly convincing from a defending world champion, whereas sweden conceded only one goal and scored nine goals, after winning all their games. i think the us are in for what will be their most difficult task at the moment at this world cup. and certainly, if they do need to get a statement win and show that they are capable of winning this world cup and threepeating another women's world cup, this is the game when they can do it. i just want to ask you about the world number three, sweden, what are they like? they are a side very good in attack, well—organised, and like i said beforehand, nine goals, just conceding one. they have a solid defence, and the way they have played so far, they must show they are going into this tournament knowing that they have been so strong for so many years. they know that now this is the chance, especially with this kind of golden generation of players, some players breaking out, some in the twilight of their careers. i think them demonstrating how good they are shows that they are here for a surprise, and if they can do this by defeating the defending world champions, it's a huge statement for them to be serious world cup contenders. on the other hand, the us a relatively young team this year. is there anything, given their struggles, that they can do to turn this around and get back to their dominant selves? some decisions have been made about starting certain other players like alex morgan and megan rapinoe and not opting for younger players. i think that is where this balance is not exactly so organised. so i think if they are able to mix that properly and hopefully be able to get a good result, not exactly win, but of course, getting a good, positive result to go into the quarterfinals, i think that can obviously restart an entire tournament, but it will get more difficult from here on out. meanwhile, these three african teams set to the round of 16 for the first time, we have never seen this before in the men's or women's world cup. how significant is that? oh, its huge, not only because this world cup has now expanded, it shows the game has evolved, and the fact many women's players are not playing only in their home countries, but around the world, be it in the united states or europe. and i think it demonstrates that there are no real huge underdogs. it feels like anyone could beat anyone. you saw one of the strongest teams ever, germany, get eliminated in the group stage. canada, the reigning olympic gold medallists, they were eliminated as well. so it's a huge thing for african football and world football as a whole, to see these teams develop and get much better as the years go on. i think it willjust get even better with more teams evolving and obviously coming in to disrupt the party of the reigning powers that have always dominated in women's football. sports reporter roberto rojas, thank you so much, as always. it should be a lot of fun, and we will get ready for the match between the us and sweden. thanks for coming on the programme. my pleasure, thank you. youtube and twitch personality kai cenat has been charged with inciting

month, when the unmanned mission was launched. if successful, india will become the fourth country to land safely on the lunar surface. it'll also be the first spacecraft to come down near the little—explored south pole. the last mission in 2019 crashed during touchdown. you can get the latest news 24/7 on our website. stay with us here on bbc news. hello. after saturday's weather, i'll tell you straight away that the outlook is looking significantly better for many parts of the uk over the coming days. even sunday will bring a delightful start to the day, with some sunshine. now, storm antoni swept across southern parts of the uk, but affected mostly the southwest in terms of the severe gales. it's still clipping early in the morning, east anglia and the south—east. so more of a breeze here, perhaps a few showers through the early hours and maybe through the morning, into the afternoon, but for the vast majority of us, it's a quiet start to the day. these are the temperatures around 8:00 in the morning, a little fresh out there, ten in the lowlands of scotland, 12 or 13 in the south. so through the morning and the afternoon, a bit of a breeze there on that lincolnshire coastline and into the south—east and east anglia. showers will develop through the course of the morning, into the afternoon. but many of us should miss the showers and, actually, compared to what we've had, it's not going to be bad at all. temperatures still a little low, around 16—18 degrees, maybe 20 or 21 in the south—east. but the good news is that sunday evening is looking fine and it should be a calm end to the weekend. how about monday? well, high pressure is trying to push in that weather. it's trying to settle down. but this little area of low pressure is also sneaking in at the same time. now, this isn't gale—force winds, but it is a fair amount of cloud and perhaps some rain reaching south—western parts of the country. i don't think it's going to be particularly heavy. and actually, for many of us, monday's looking absolutely fine across scotland, all through northern england and into central parts of britain as well. sunny spells and just a few showers. now, let's take a look at that jet stream, because it's all about the jet stream, isn't it? it's sort of meandering across the atlantic, pushing the weather systems. but look what happens through the middle to end of the week. it sort of diverts to the north and it opens up the doors to warmer air. a little more settled weather coming in from the south. now, we're not expecting anything particularly extreme in terms of the temperatures, but they are going to rise, perhaps mid—or—high 20s. doesn't always mean it'll be sunny, but at least better compared to what we've had. bye— bye. you're watching bbc news. the latest news headlines follow at the top of the hour, after this programme. hello, everybody. a very warm welcome to talking business weekly with me, aaron heslehurst. let's go and take a look at what's on the show. it's holiday heartbreak. as wildfires rage across europe and america, what impact is climate change having on the tourism industry? it's really difficult to manage the heat sometimes. travel and tourism — it's worth nearly 10% of our global economy, keeping millions in work. but does our changing planet mean it's time for a major rethink? i'm going to be discussing all of that with these two — there they are — the big boss of one of europe's leading travel groups, who tells us what impact climate change is having on his industry, and the head of the world's
