specifically. over the last couple of hours we've _ specifically. over the last couple of hours we've been _ specifically. over the last couple of hours we've been hearing - specifically. over the last couple of hours we've been hearing a i specifically. over the last couple l of hours we've been hearing a few more details and you may remember that this week we have learned that in georgia, former president donald trump will be facing criminal proceedings of allegations of election interference. the way that process happens is something called a special grand jury which is ordinary men and women hearing evidence in secret and deciding whether to proceed to further criminal case. these men and women have had their names and we think their addresses and social media profiles leaked online. there were rumours of this yesterday and into today. and in the last couple of hours, we got confirmation, effectively, from the fulton county sheriffs office. they said in a statement... is the lead agency, our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in fulton county and otherjurisdictions. county and other jurisdictions. let's county and otherjurisdictions. let's speak now to our north america correspondent. just talk is free what is going on here. the identities _ what is going on here. the identities of _ what is going on here. the identities of the _ what is going on here. tue: identities of the jurors what is going on here. tte: identities of the jurors were actually in the indictment that was publicly released on monday night. and that is georgia state policy to publicly release the names of the 23 grand jurors who were put forward in the indictment in order to allow defence attorneys to review those names for any kind of questions that they have about the jurors, any kind of proceedings they want to bring. what has happened however is that donald trump supporters have taken these names and docks them. essentially looking up their addresses and details about them and shed them online. they have apparently made threats against some of thesejurors. notjust apparently made threats against some of these jurors. not just their apparently made threats against some of these jurors. notjust their home addresses but possibly their social media posts, their political leanings in an attempt to point out what they see as bias against donald trump amongst these jurors. that is why law enforcement has got involved, because there have been these reports of threats, death threats, made againstjurors and attacked down any credible threats and pursue them. just attacked down any credible threats and pursue them.— and pursue them. just remind us, because it — and

individuals. it is possible for prosecutors to bring indictments independent of a grand jury in some cases but for complicated cases like this, there can be a grand jury that they then present evidence to the grand jurors review this evidence and then vote on whether to indict or not. it is a process that does not involve defence attorneys. it is just a prosecution meeting with these grand jurors to go through the facts of the case, as has happened in this case and has happened typically. bringing witnesses to testify and then the grand jury, looking at the sum total of the case, they don't have to ascertain guilt at this point butjust decide whether there is sufficient evidence for an indictment to be handed down. it is different from a jury that sits and determines guilt or innocence in a trial. this is a preliminary staff that allows a citizen input during the investigatory process, the decision—making process that could lead to an indictment and lead to a trial. ,, ,

what is happening is that his fall, the end of next week is going to be filled with court cases followed by the fall, winter and spring, deep into the presidential cycle. he is going to be in court forfar indictments that he is facing. meanwhile, he is still the republican frontrunner. he is going to fight this politically, he is going to fight this legally, butjust do know that his political

that donald trump and people amounting put on georgia officials to try to overturn the results of the presidential election in georgia. joe biden when the state of georgia narrowly, but he won the state of georgia and donald trump questioned the validity of that. he said that there was massive evidence of voter fraud. and said that there was massive evidence of voterfraud. and not said that there was massive evidence of voter fraud. and not only questioned it publicly but also pressured georgia state officials and his associates also pressured officials and also pressured individual election workers to try to get them to admit that there was a voterfraud. in a way to get them to admit that there was a voter fraud. in a way that the prosecution is alleging was illegal. they are alleging a vast scheme, racket, conspiracy, to illegally overturn the judge results. racket, conspiracy, to illegally overturn thejudge results. and racket, conspiracy, to illegally overturn the judge results. and they are using laws that have in the past been used to prosecute more gangs as well as public officials who have been corrupt, in order to paint this as notjust an individual incident, notjust questioning an election worker here are pressuring a government official here, or hacking or gaining a legal access to voting information here, that all of this is part of a broader web, a broader conspiracy, to disrupt the functioning of the election and overturn a legally run, legally authorised election. it is going to be a difficult case to pursue. i9 defendants. it is going to take a considerable amount of effort on the part of the georgia prosecution. but they are going to try to make this case that what donald trump did was illegal. case that what donald trump did was ille .

early march, which would be during the republican presidential campaign. roughly the same time as super tuesday primaries which is a vast string of primaries in seven states that could determine who the presidential nominee for the republican party will be. now, a judge has to agree with that. a judge has to agree with that. a judge is going to take into consideration donald trump and his fellow defendant's claims. as well as taking into consideration the fact that donald trump is going to be basing trials in three other indictments. one in miami, one in new york and one in washington, dc. they are weighing a whole bunch of different competing factors to try to find a time when this can go to trial. and as i mentioned, this is a massive case. i think a lot of legal experts are looking at this and saying it is unlikely that it could be brought before a jury or a jury injust six months. be brought before a “my or a “my in just six months.“ in just six months. thank you so much for

thank you to our panel. we will be back with you a little later. now to get the latest on the canada wildfires. thousands of people have been told to make a get out of their homes. these pictures give you some reason why. 20,000 people, specifically who live in a yellowknife, in northern territories, have been told to get out of the city by noon on friday. that is the deadline given to them for their evacuation. they have been told that the fires could reach the outskirts of the city by the weekend. we do know that some people have been leaving already. canada, just for a bit of background, is seeing its worst wildfire season on record. overiooo seeing its worst wildfire season on record. over 1000 fires are burning as of wednesday. a little earlier i spoke to a reporter for cbc north and she is one of the tens of thousands who have already evacuated from yellowknife. yellowknife is a very remote community. it is a tremendously long drive to get to any of the evacuation centres, the closest that has been established so far for people driving is over 1000 kilometres by car. tbs, people driving is over1000 kilometres by car.- people driving is over 1000 kilometresb car. �* , t,

very thing, the issue of climate driving greater hotter and more dangerous wildfires. that effectively can't be stopped without massive amounts of rain or otherwise some sort of afterthought. so i felt fearful and i booked flights and the day that i landed in calgary, where i am now, that night the 30 evacuation was announced for parts of yellowknife. and the next day, the whole city was ordered to get out. just and the next day, the whole city was ordered to get out.— ordered to get out. just how unusual is this for people _ ordered to get out. just how unusual is this for people

for people living there? it is so striking. i moved to yellowknife in 2013 and the following summer was terrible year of fires. it is remembered now as the summer of smoke, we had fires burning all over the territory, it was relentless. fire tankers were in the sky at all hours of the day and that season, looking back on it, was extremely mild compared to what we are seeing now. we sell a total of one community evacuated briefly in 2014, it was a community of about 40 people, theyjust received another evacuation alert this morning. but that was it. and this year we have seen multiple communities evacuated, some more than once. we have seen fires go right into communities and take houses off the edges. we saw total destruction back in may. those people were evacuated once again for their own safety. it is just absolutely unheard of and the very idea that one would order a city of 20,000 to empty out in the face of out—of—control fires is not something a lot of people are

few weeks ago with some firefighters working in quebec who said that the fires they are dealing with really need a season—ending event, that is what they called it. i believe that means a deluge of rain or sun otherwise massive change in the weather situation. otherwise massive change in the weathersituation. but otherwise massive change in the weather situation. but with the extreme dryness that we are seeing here, the lack of rain, i am just not sure what is going to change the situation that we are in right now. lets bring back our panel. lee and, let's start with you. we have been

canada. we have been hit with that smoke multiple times and have extreme smoke considerations. then wejust saw what extreme smoke considerations. then we just saw what happened tragically in hawaii in maui. an island where they think that there was perhaps a power line issue that caused the fire, but a severe weather event exasperated it dramatically. more than 100 people have died so far, making it the deadliest wildfire in united states, at least in the last 100 years of the united states history. we are seeing this as we are seeing extreme heat in the southern part of the united states.

the uk, this is bbc news. we willjust take a quick look at some of the stories now. school staff in 10 local authority areas will go on strike on 13 and 14 september. gmb scotland's members, which includes non—teaching school staff, rejected a pay offer of 5.5% in april, calling it "unacceptable". the union said the offer "does not come close" to matching the surging cost of living. the family of a pregnant woman killed by a speeding driver have welcomed a decision to have his 12—year prison sentence reviewed by the court of appeal. frankiejules—hough died, along with her unborn daughter, when adil iqbal crashed into her car shortly after he'd filmed himself driving at 123 miles per hour. an mp has told a public meeting he will pursue a law granting better protection for heritage venues in the name of a pub which was demolished after a fire. about 100 people attended the meeting after the 18th century crooked house, near dudley, was destroyed less than two days after the fire. you're live with bbc news. saudi arabia's crown prince, mohammed bin salman, has been invited to visit the uk. the visit is likely to prompt sharp criticism. it would be the first trip to the uk by the crown prince since the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul in 2018. us intelligence agencies concluded that the prince must have authorised the killing. we can get the latest from my conversation earlier on. there's a real economic opportunity here for the uk and it's an opportunity that rishi sunak really needs for him for his personal career, and he deems it necessary for the british economy and that necessity for rishi sunak and his colleagues at least, means sacrificing the broader british ideals of human rights and democracy on the altar of realpolitik. and that looks like to be the realjustification for the invitation going out. and how do you think this will be received? well, mohammed bin salman has been very keen to deepen relations with the uk. perhaps the most obvious example of that is the purchase of newcastle united by the the sovereign wealth fund. but it's also deeper than that. there's also increasing numbers of students from saudi arabia coming to british universities, undergraduate graduate students. there's there's growing levels of cultural exchange. and i think that that mohammed bin salman will be open to that, but he will want other things as well. there's rumours suggesting that he's after better access to military hardware that the uk has been selling saudi over the years. so there will be some serious demands coming from riyadh for london to deal with. saudi arabia is an incredibly powerful state are becoming more and more powerful by the day. we know that mohammed bin salman is the power behind the throne. he is the one that is driving this transformative vision and if some of these big projects, the neon project, the line, this move away from oil, really do come off, it is going to leave saudi arabia increasingly powerful, increasingly influential in the world stage. and the uk struggling to have a way of finding its own niche there. and so while rishi sunak may decide to raise these issues, he may well not and may think that it will do more harm than good to raise human rights concerns, and i certainly hope that he does raise them because it is incredibly important, but it may be that he deems them to be sort of sacrifice. sacrifice will in order to get access to this huge amount of money for the government. and for the huge numbers of businesses that can benefit from the transformative processes going on in saudi arabia. let's pick through this with our panel. paul, let's start with you. what do you make of this? well, i think realpolitik _ what do you make of this? well, i think realpolitik certainly - what do you make of this? well, i think realpolitik certainly is - what do you make of this? well, i think realpolitik certainly is in - think realpolitik certainly is in play. rishi sunak, after brexit, we are not part of a big economic bloc any more in the eu. and so we are desperate for global partners. and if that means in working people that we are not considered to be really savoury regimes, then so be it. i think that is the approach largely of the government. of course rishi sunak will raise human rights, all western leaders do. but it has now almost become quite performative, they will raise it at the beginning of the meeting, packet, and then they will talk real money. and it is money that is driving this. it is notjust in sport, it is investments as was just stated, in terms of selling british airspace arms, flights, jet pilots, towards them. there is all sorts of oil considerations, diplomatic considerations, diplomatic considerations about the saudi and gulf states, the role they are playing with iran, and ultimately, i think rishi sunak is bubbly going to take its lead from president biden who famously said that when he was running for office that he would treat saudi arabia as a pariah state and then last year he first bumped mohammed bin salman. despite the fact that he had said that he was convinced that mohammed bin salman had a clear role in the murder of the journalist. had a clear role in the murder of thejournalist. i think had a clear role in the murder of the journalist. i think thatjust says

unsettled with the risk of some really heavy, thundery rain in places and also strong winds. so quite a mixture of weather to come for friday. windy in places. it will feel quite warm and humid, and we'll have thundery showers spreading northwards. now, we've got two weather fronts associated with the low pressure system. this is the main weather front. ahead of it, we'll see a line of showers and storms spreading northwards. that's during friday. but through tonight, it should stay largely dry across much of the country, clear spells, more cloud through central and eastern areas. but we'll start to see those showers pushing to northern ireland, wales and south—west england, and some of them may turn out to be heavy and thundery in places. quite a warm and muggy night to come, particularly towards the south. then for friday, that line of showers, thunderstorms spreads northwards across northern ireland, wales, central, southern england, but starts to fizzle out as it moves northwards. it'll become very windy around irish sea coasts, especially northern and western wales, with gusts in excess perhaps of 60 mph. not a bad day to come across scotland. best of the sunshine in the west, high teens here. further south, because there's a bit more cloud around and some showers, top temperature around 22—23 degrees, but it will feel humid. and then through friday night, the action really gets going. this band of heavy and thundery rain spreads northwards across pretty much all areas. you can see the livid colours indicating embedded thunderstorms there, so localised flooding could be an issue in one or two locations. and a warm and humid night to come for many, particularly across england and wales. so into the weekend, that area of thundery rain will continue to journey northwards with fairly strong, gusty winds on it. moving northwards across scotland through saturday morning, becoming confined to the northern isles, and then the rest of the country has a fine day. sunny spells with scattered showers across northern and western areas, and it'll be more blustery here with temperatures in the low 20s. so feeling fresher, but still warm in the south—east, 25—26 degrees. similar story for part two of the weekend. most of the blustery showers will be in the north and the west of the country, where it'll feel a bit fresher. but again, across central, southern and eastern areas, closer to high pressure in the near continent, it'll stay sunnier, less windy. and we should see temperatures again around the mid—20s. now it could turn very warm or even locally hot across the south—east for a time monday and tuesday. plenty of sunshine here, but cooler and fresher with showers further north and west. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. fears that russia could spark a war with nato — by intercepting ships in the international waters of the black sea. there are fears that russia could spark a direct war with nato by intercepting ships in international waters and seeking to impose an economic stranglehold on ukraine. speaking to politico, nato's former supreme allied commander in europe, admiraljames stavridis says "russia's actions in the international waters of the black sea create a real risk of escalating this to a war at sea between nato and the russian federation." he said nato, "is not going to provide all the weapons and money for ukraine, only to watch russia strangle their economy with an illegal blockade." tensions in the black sea have escalated dramatically since russia unilaterally withdrew from a u.n. grain deal injuly and warned that ships travelling to ukrainian ports could be seen as military targets. in response, nato secretary general jens stoltenberg accused russia of "dangerous and escalatory actions in the black sea." he was also referencing russia's bombardment of ukrainian ports.
