and i'll just the full, i'm a fast minister of scotland. nicholas dudgeon has been arrested in connection with apologies financing the color there and stuff. hey, this is all to 0 life and also coming up crisis and westoff for a 1000 civilians dead since april adult is association appeals to the international community on the fire on the eastern front line will be with ukrainian forces as they make gains near buckboard around supreme data says the

west couldn't stop tear on from building a new, a new care west. the fact that it has no sense to do many and central philippines, fleet, rumbling volcano, now a tie. food is on the way the while. we begin now with some breaking news from scotland, where the former 1st minister nicholas dudgeon has been arrested and appears to be in connection with an investigation into the scottish national parties funding and finances. but let's go straight to where we challenges. he joins us live from london, rory, i understand police way. the nicholas stopped and turned back in april and arrested her husband too. but he was released. yes, that's right them. so they're being 3 people arrested. sorry, fox in what the scottish police, according to operation braunfels this is as you say, this investigation into allegations all sort of financial impropriety

at the scottish national party. essentially what they're looking into is whether uh, $750000.00 pounds, with suits of donations to an independence campaign. with miss miss spends by the policy now, those 3 people that are being arrested, pete tomorrow, who is nicholas tags and husbands and supplement chief executive of the policy at that time at s p e are a member of the scottish parliament cold calling beats. and now nicholas dudgeon, herself, who resigned step down as the leader of the policy back in april for various reasons i have. but so this is now escalating into, into a pretty serious issue for one of the titans of sculptures policy and were given. all that's happened how's the us and people got in by the public. now, you will have any trouble at the moment. it's perhaps not terminal trouble

considering how much of a dominant position they have had in scotland. and for the last few years, in noticeable reason due to nicholas stage and himself, she, as i said just now, it is a tyson, was that tyson of scottish politics, very, very dominant. and the kids largely do what she please politically some for many, many years. but when she step down an april, that decision was seen as a recognition on her part that she was kind of losing. and i talked to a certain degree. that's her strategy for achieving scottish independence, which obviously she's never achieved in 3 years of try. i'm was, it was with all the other important people in her office and also perhaps that she was now out of favor with the scottish public there. particularly the, the issues to do with the scottish and the reading recognition bill. a bill that

she had kind of pushed through that made it easier for people in scotlands to legally change that sex. so gender, that was not particularly popular with the electorate se lodge, but of course, bubbling behind all of that. with these growing concerns about the policies finance isn't how they spend them. that is now comes with the full and hands of yusef, who is the new leader of the scottish national policy. has a very tricky issue on his hands. we're going to get a general election in the country and next year ends their off site and these feelings amongst the labor policies in the u. k. that they might have an opportunity to see now to really get back some of that last ground in scotland and deal the s and p a serious guy. but of course that's for the future. the policy has big issues to deal with it in the migrant pro each hollins that across that story

from us both for a has so i'm sorry from london. thank you very much. laurie the the southern suit on fighting has once again resumed across the capital and its neighboring cities, often a day, a relative calm, the violence between the army and the permanent tre. rapid support forces has also watson's in ethnic conflicts in the duffel region. more than 1000 civilians have reported they've been killed in west off for now. since the beginning of april, local doctors syndicate has made a please of the international community is a health and the facing that. the killings have reportedly been carried out by government, mainly in the city of l. janina and offers on the scene of violence, sparked by territorial disputes and access to wants and between tribes. it spiraled into an armed conflict, when most of the ethnic african tribes took up arms against the arab domination. the government, 20 years ago from the president of alba share,

responded by mobilizing a permanent tree force known as the jungle. we'd, well, let's not bring in corresponding to hipaa morgan. she's an on demand that's across the now river from cost to hit the i see the slicing has now begun again. yes. and, and especially in the western region of dar for and here in the capital hotel. now since the early hours of sunday morning, just minutes after the ceasefire came to an end between the sudanese army and the power military rapids support forces. we were able to hear heavy artillery residents in the southern and northern parts of the capital reported as strikes and heavy gunfire between the rapids support forces and this within these army. we were also able to see amended 3 helicopters and, and to no plains belonging to the southern, these army flying overhead here in the city of on demand. and we were able to hear the surface to m as house being 5 by the rapid support forces. this again, just minutes after the ceasefire came to an end between the tour and parties. now

in the region of the r, for the conflict is quite different. there's a power vacuum in that region. an arab militias allied to the rapids support forces and back by the iris as have been attack, attacking and targeting members of the most sally to try. now, that's an african tribes. and i think 5 in the western region of tar 4, specifically in the city of janina dr. syndicates in west and west are 4 describe the situation as catastrophic. and they compared it to the 1994 genocide in rwanda . saying that people there are being targeted based on their ethnicity in, in the state. so the situation there is quite a dire many people saying that they're trying to play to make it to neighboring tad . but because of so many, ira militias on the road, they were afraid of being caught target said so some of them remained behind in the city while some tried to fight back against the attack by the arab militias in west star for him on morgan. the, with the latest for us on the ground and on demand and through don, thank you. have the

ukraine says it has really taken its 1st town since the stones of its country offensive the small town of blackwood, daphne, and that's in the west of them. and yet screeching keeps on. forces have also released the video, which they say show as follows as planting the ukrainians live in that town. they've also said that the troops have taken several russian servicemen as prisoners alger there is charles, struck for this, that on the front line with ukrainian forces, a new kind at all. i'm is saying that it is taking control of a small village close to the town of valley, can know the cisco now that is in donates region. and this news is consistent with what we've been hearing on telegraph channels from russian ministry progress that are embedded with the russians policies in that area. they saying that there has been a large push bite, ukrainian forces towards that town. we're also hearing of, of developments for the west of that pushing further south from zack parisha by the

ukrainians. but of course it's very difficult to independently confirmed issues. one thing we do know for sure to is that this kind of rain is going to slow operations operate. it is very difficult for both sides to use the drones for reconnaissance and spotting areas to target when there's this kind of low level cloud cover. and of course, the rain will make the ground very wet and very difficult to use. tract vehicles in a we've been spending time with a ukrainian auction or a unit close to here as they saw their operations in his counter offensive. you have to drive foss to on to, to re positions around bus more clear summer sky is make it easier for russian recognizance. we'll circle kamikaze, drugs to who may not ukrainian positions, military movement, ukrainian all to, to re file as close by. and we are orders to run to the bunker inside

a soldiers with ukraine's atf salt brigade. and that's all the same russian positions to the south. so bus moved to assist the infantry, which they say is it bumps and gradually no as they tried to retake territory last in recent weeks, only in the fall and the guys from a sold unit have made some progress in some places, mostly from the south of buffalo, if we see targets, particularly infantry or light, the homage enemy vehicles, we hit them so our assault units can take enemy positions more easily. drones, feed lines, pictures of russian positions. yvonne waits for the older from a central come on post. file. soviet built all to the re piece is hidden on the trees. attributable look up, but we're trying to russian, all right, munition, we cannot use more than 6 channels and the single target we're around about 90 percent successful. believe it takes more than 6 to fully destroy the target.

another gun takes over a few minutes late to the old a is given. we have to move back on to cover quickly before russian, all tutoring replies. what your gardening forces are trying to do here is still from out targets in an around buff moved as part of the beginnings of this counter offensive. and they say that they are progressing from the south advancing around the kilometer a week back inside the bunk, even what use the screen and says that he sees the shows the target table uh get the most of the target was 100 meters from our positions which i top rated based position, so shell lender slightly about their target, but of the correction. the 2nd was the ukranian policies of probing for weak points in russian defend cease in various locations along with the 1000 kilometers the

front line. as a long expected counselor offensive begins, tossed off without a 0 need buck mort. daniel hawkins is a john, the space and most go and he has more on the russian if it's to repel that ukrainian counter offensive. well, it's clear from the russian embodies daily briefing that beside you've been in the vacation and fighting around the flanks of the photos your friends, in particular on the regions of the unloading code. these are 2 fairly bloss townsend them into the net squeezen, and that's indicative of audio reports we heard of a low on the southern is up. what is your front with your cutting forces? focusing on flank attacks, trying to cut off the russian southern front from the don't ask flags as well, the russian, i, what are you claiming that the claimant attacks of laws have been unsuccessful, saying they've lost around 300 soldiers, 11 tanks, including 3 level tanks as well, as worse as what a shooting down an s q 25, across the russian. f o. also conducting as trucks. according to the m. o. d. on

you claim you and observe, asian posts, come on a controls and doesn't headquarters. deep behind enemy lines. now the russian forces very much trying to stop this offensive when it strikes before it's we begun and honest before there's time columns and all the vehicles make the way to the front line. turning to iran now where supreme data i a telecom and a has said the west couldn't stop iran from building nuclear weapons even if it wanted to during an address on state television, he also spoke about how this country should continue to walk alongside the ones needs a watchdog and said the deal was possible as long as it runs nuclear energy infrastructure, the remains intact. as we get that large, i see that when you have a they say they all concerned about nuclear weapons, they lie, they know that we are not often a nuclear weapon. the security apparatus of the us repeatedly announced that a run is not getting often nuclear weapons over the past few months, twice they confess that there is no sign that a run is moving toward building

a nuclear weapon. and this is true. well, we'll not officer getting a nuclear weapon, not because we are afraid of them. this is because of all belief that it is used for mass killing, and we oppose that it is contradictory to our religion. we are against either nuclear or chemical weapons or any other weapons of mass destruction. how correspondent also jabari as the following development center on a lot of the harmony was addressing a group of high ranking officials within his compound here in the capital that work on air owns nuclear program. he was presented with the latest achievements in iran, new, clear activities by these officials. and he took the occasion to speak it extensively . and we heard from the 84 year old for the 1st time, acknowledging that iran has the capabilities to build a nuclear weapon. but it does not want to do so. it is on his lunch because he said, and it's something that is not in the works for this country. he also took the

occasion to tell the officials to continue their cooperation with the international atomic energy agencies, but not at the cost of get going against the laws that are in place inside the country. he also took the chance to talk about any kind of a deal that could be in the works or that could come in the near future is okay with him, but it means not at the expense of stopping around nuclear advancements. meaning that any kind of a deal would be more beneficial to iran rather than western powers. it's very unlikely that the western powers would accept such conditions given that the 2015 nuclear deal that was signed. so iran basically limits severely it's nuclear activities in exchange for sections relief and that deal is no longer working. so there's a lot of chatter about a possible in term deal with united states. but that seems to be very unlikely given the current climate in the country. and what we've just heard from i to lot of the how many i'm still

a head here on out of here. the women raise their voices against the violence in front of the accusations of race at the center of the political the of the color i think will say some west of weather, grassy pushing towards southern china over the next day or so. the moment. so there's no rise that tied up with this particular pulse of the the plum race that's going to bring some heavy right. once we get into the fall, south of japan, easing for the race was over the next style. so it will follow out to my food all foutz into the open waters. dragging that moisture the energy away from japan, but a rush hour is to come back and behind is the wish i was just gather the across

single impulse because you into whole kinda wanted to show as to when to north greer. south korea losey try. why don't you try close northern parts of china? but is that where to where the starting to show us how to coast southern areas of china to go through the next few days. the possibility of some localized flooding coming through here could see a little bit of localized flooding to it, to northern areas of the philippines, the showers, gathering across the lose on west of weather to coming into southern parts of vietnam. cambodia, some vague and sundry showers that tied in with the south west month. so across a good part of thailand, it's like a cloud that you'll see the west to whether making its way up towards me on the eastern pond. so abundant that still seeing some live the south and still some very heavy right across the west and positive in the this week. the

a but next week the the, the the welcome back to watching out a 0. i'm just on the tag here, and that's remind you about top stories. the 1st minister of scotland, nicholas sturgeon has been arrested in connection with apologies. finances. please

say she's being questioned as part of an ongoing investigation into the room and discovery, national costing adoptive association and through don westoff for region. as 1000 civilians have been killed. that since mid 8 the roof is appealing to the international community comparing the situation. the ones in general, ukraine's defense ministry says it's troops of re taking their 1st town since announcing the counter offensive. they've published a video which they say shows soldiers in the town west of tanya montenegro, his presidency. uncles, malott's of which has cost is valid in the parliamentary elections there in march. he asked of me to, to kind of, it's in the presidential election run off of 540000 versus are expected to choose candidates from 15 parties until the lessons. the political leanings range from for weston to per sub in reflecting the division of in montenegro split from sab. yeah, the outcome could effect one to neighbors bid to join the u. the 3 bushes torres so

missing off to their boat, caught fire of egypt, red sea coast 12, other tourists and 12 egyptian crew members. there had been rescued and broke the showing. the boat was reportedly around 9 kilometers from the coast. when that fire started, please say it was caused by a short 2nd move in a week of defended gauze opposition. indeed, it was months sancho was sentenced to 2 years in prison. he has still not been arrested. he was found guilty of corrupting use and a trial where he was initially accused of rape. that verdict led to violent protests, but left 23 people dead. nicholas hawk reports from the capital deco rape or sieve. so then it goes well f language, a taboo, subject that wrapper mcgee, the dresses in the song denouncing the impunity around sexual violence against women in her country. the fight that she and her friend kadijah a social worker are taking on. they say more women and girls had been attacked

since opposition leader sancho was found guilty. we saw the dream people was processing a cam in some point, i mean wrapping them and making some violence on them. if you're not with your brother, man, you know, you will not save you. they just common how they just come and i mean, right, you and so it has not been convicted of rate but was sentenced to 2 years in jail for corruption of youth. in other words, judges accused him of debauchery and paying for sex with someone under the age of 21. the verdicts towards his chances to run in the upcoming election ahead of the verdict, he denounced what he called a politically motivated trial sound. good to know, had sexually assaulting his accuser. 23 year old eggs. sorry for them in a statement many found his use of language offensive and inflammatory. he said if he had to reach someone, he wouldn't choose one who looks like it to him. pansy could you just as some cause words have encouraged violence against women?

seem to tie the we mean was being victim of 60 all abuse and rape. our afraid to speak out and seek justice. we want peace. the chat at the women's gathering organized by the government. it's all these are denouncing the violence against women, but rights groups accused security forces of arbitrary detention torture and killing of protest. years using live rounds were outside his main focus house. he still has not been arrested. the opposition has tried to organize peaceful protests, but the government has bound demonstrations saying it wants to avoid further violence for we spend sancho supporters. this is an attempt to silence the old position. so who has called on the supporters destroying the presidential palace and over through microsoft? is that clearly? uh it is um, in uh, in response phone call is someone who wants to lead people

a population which is 99.9 to 9 person black as compared to a monkey. is that some problems i think is 5 a 5 a problem? i think in a demo, kazi, in this total for power between president, my key sell end of this month, sounds good. mcgee says women and young girls who are victims of sexual abuse are being ignored and silenced a brutal consequence of this ongoing political crisis. nicholas hall, county is 0. the car philippines is facing possible emergencies now to funds with an incoming type food and the possible volcanic eruption. the type here and is expected to slow about duration effects from areas around non to my own in the northeastern l. by problem officials raised the allowed level for the volcano on size. they often began screwing gas and roll. i'll just respond to be low, has more for me in about to ation cam. so what we're seeing here is basically an

entire community that's been uprooted there about $700.00 families in this evacuation site. that's equivalent to more than 2000 people. and here beside be our food stalls signs that they could be staying longer here. then they would like, alrighty. so then pay all around the evacuation site and up here is where all these families are staying. they've been given one modular tense each and each 10 is big enough for a family of 5 or 6. i think it's comfortable to comfortable enough in terms of space, but if you go in it feels quite hot and they're sleeping basically on the ground. there's a thin mattress over there. but i bet when you lie down, you can still feel the ground on your back. so for most of the day,

they have to hang out here outside, but then they're exposed to the elements of nature and it's been raining for the past 24 hours. so children can get with but again, this could last longer than expected, back in 2018, the stadium evacuation sites for more than 3 months. finally, below al jazeera and by the philippines. i mean, well, thousands of people have flocked to why is callaway of volcano to witness it slights us to rupture. lot of the fountains that have been recorded as high as 60 meters callaway is located on hawaii's big island and is one of the world's most active volcanoes. there's no risk opposed by the slightest direction, but it is expected to last for some time. or at least one person has died and heavy flooding in central and eastern cuba. thousands of others have been displaced the provinces as kind of way. and grandma, with the hardest hit the heavy rains,

have caused bridges to collapse. cutting off several villages taiwan says that deployed 5 digits of the 10 chinese will panes flew into the island, so whole air defense. so this is now the 2nd time in less than a week, but the island has reported renewed chinese military activity. evasion considers taiwan is a break way territory and hasn't moved out taking it by full on yours. meanwhile, has opened an embassy in beijing off to breaking its different attic times with taiwan. the mission was unveiled by the foreign ministers of the 2 countries. the opening coincides with a visit by hon. you're in presence, jamara, castro, to china. and yours is the licensed of several central american internally and countries to end their recognition of tie one in favor of facing. meanwhile, cuba is government is denying reports that china has been operating an intelligence unit in the country for many years. it comes as the white house as a facility was upgraded in 2019 to enhanced china is presence on the caribbean

island. beijing has wanted washington against interfering and cubis internal affairs. us. all donald trump has described the charges against him for miss holmes in classified documents as ridiculous and an abuse of power. the former us president made those comments and speech is to republican state conventions on saturday. trump was a formerly indicted earlier in the week under the espionage act. she advertise the has the details already know, feel crush, find in the video that proceed to donald trump's appearances that both the georgia and north carolina republican conventions was a succinct response to the indictment. i'm sealed against him on friday. just how far are the radical left and inside the beltway band, willing to go to stop? in his to speeches, trump presented the charges as the culmination of the washington establishment is attempts to destroy his political career and the lives of those in the room. this

time through overt election interference, cheating their truck. if they're corrupt, these criminals can not be rewarded. they must be defeated. you have to just feed them because in the end and not tell me give to me, they're coming after you and i'm just standing in their way here i am. i'm standing in iowa and i always will. usually speaking of the north carolina convention from school, i'm a vice president and now rival, mike depends on north carolina. like almost all the crumbs opponents and the primaries, you agree that trump was the victim of double stand. it's a slow walk of investigations into the president and his family to undermine the confidence the american people in our system of justice. look, we have to fake news media group smells. and actually there really is a sense of grievance here. even as the polls suggest, huff is the policy remains up for grabs by trump's opponents in our country back to

the unsettling president from north carolina state village. michelle, what else feels florida governor run the census has the best chance of beating joe biden in a general election, but she says, what? even opponents of from feel when i look at president trump, i think, you know, the d o j met him at the bottom of that gold escalator and he's loved every minute of it. there is some concern being express care of the effect. the indictment might have on donald trump's chances in a general election. but given the empty tray vote in the primaries is split among some 9 of the candidates sold trumpeters. making the most of his legal troubles as he solidifies his face against what he calls the which ones she ever comes out to 0, greensboro, north carolina. the not known as a unit on that has been found dead in his prison cell in the united states could kazinsky it was 81 for more than 18 years. kazinsky hid from, with archie,
