hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. another political first for donald trump, the fbi searches the former president's home, and his supporters are not happy. we have to stand up for our rights and ourfreedoms. because they we have to stand up for our rights and our freedoms. because they are being eroded. as the political backlash continues, we'll look at how this unpresidented event took place. also in the programme. vote counting is under way in kenya where a new president is being chosen to succeed uhuru kenyatta. and calls for government action, as energy bills are forecast to rise again for millions of uk households.

we begin with the latest from the us, and the fbi's search of the former us president, donald trump's florida home. this is aerial footage from outside the property. we know that donald trump wasn't there at the time. the search is reportedly connected to an investigation into mr trump's handling of official papers. it's being describred as an unprecedented move. this is a former us attorney. it's the most serious step ever taken against a president or a former president and all rules are off but in a normal situation when a warrant like this is served in the vast majority of cases, criminal

charges follow. so, come up there playing by that standard playbook, you would expect an indictment against the former president of the united states. so, a highly significant move. in response to the search, donald trump released this statement. "these are dark times for our nation," he says. and that's a sentiment that we've seen reflected elsewhere in the republican party — this is donald trump's former political director in georgia. is truly unbelievably outrageous and is truly unbelievably outrageous and i think it was this precedent was set that is going to be very hard to take back and i think the overreach to be of continued to see from this administration has reached levels that i do not think many thought would happen. so, let's take a step back — and remind oursleves how we got here. since february last year, there's been an ongoing legal probe into trump's handling of documents —

which officials claim he took from the white house. central to all this is the presidential records act. it says that removing or damaging official records may constitute a criminal offence. that's relevant because trump is also accused of ripping up documents. some of which may have had to be taped back together, as politico reported in 2018. and now, new york times journalist maggie haberman reports that staff at the white house residency sometimes found wads of paper clogging a toilet, and that they believed trump was the flusher. which brings us to last night — and the search of donald trump's palm beach property. this is the state attorney for palm beach. i was surprised as well. my office and local law enforcement were not notified of the search and they kept it pretty close to their vest that is what the feds normally do,

especially when it involves something so sensitive as to do something so sensitive as to do something that has never been done in american history before. and the former president and they needed to get a judge to sign off on it. after a search warrant and his probable cause that a crime exists and that morrow logo would contain evidence of that crime. this is a particularly sensitive time — with midterm elections coming up in november. republican house of representatives leader kevin mccarthy pledged to retake the house — and to "conduct immediate oversight of this department, follow the facts, and leave no stone unturned." addressing the head of the department of justice, he continued and there's another element here too: whether or not trump will choose to run again in 202a. this is the former

president's son, eric trump. what they want to do is they want to get donald trump in the do it for one reason. they do not want donald trump to run and win again. this isn't the first time trump has found himself at the centre of a legal battle. you'll remember scenes like this from january sixth last year — the capitol riots. trump is accused of inciting an �*insurrection�* through his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. that investigation is ongoing and could lead to criminal charges. then — election interference in georgia. a phone call he made to the state's top election official telling him to find more than 11,000 votes is the centre of that investigation. his financial affairs are also being investigated by lawyers — particularly related to tax and bank fraud allegations. this is a professor of political science, richard pape. the issues of legality

and political volatility are closely intermeshed here. so, it really doesn't make sense to talk about this in a narrow legal framework, and it's because of the incredible politically volatile situation we're already in, and this is making that volatile situation even more volatile. lots of reaction to today's announcement. this is from donald trump's former chief of staff "if the mar—a—lago raid let's talk to president trump's former chief of staff, mick mulvaney. when you say something like that, it's about the documents, isn't it.

we know donald trump, the national archive said back in february, they received many boxes of documents. i was wondering why the president felt the need to take these documents from the white house when he knows it's the wrong thing to do.— it's the wrong thing to do. things for havin: it's the wrong thing to do. things for having me. _ it's the wrong thing to do. things for having me. and _ it's the wrong thing to do. things for having me. and very - it's the wrong thing to do. things for having me. and very familiarl for having me. and very familiar with that law. i was in charge of running the west wing we had to make sure we preserve those documents. you have to preserve everything, that's everything. that is a scratchpad, newspaper the president has seen, something that's really seriously could be something that is relatively trivial. for having me. and very familiar with that law. i was in charge of running the west wing we had to make sure we preserve those documents. you have to preserve everything, that's everything. that is a scratchpad, newspaper the president has seen, something that's really seriously could be something that is relatively trivial. very trivial. it could be dinner with borisjohnson, a menu. and technical violations of the law, this is a tremendous overreach by the department of justice. if on the other hand, it is tied to a very serious charge of trying to interfere with the transition of authority to the biden administration and the department of justice thinks is documents that the president retained at mar—a—lago that pertains to conversations with

the right wing extremists and writers, that is very serious matter. as we sit here today, we do not know. this is either the most egregious political in a job in history a part of the most significant criminal investigations by the department ofjustice will bringing clarity to the situation. i do expect to get that level of clarity? these search warrants are not as given on a whim.— not as given on a whim. arguably, there is something _ not as given on a whim. arguably, there is something behind - not as given on a whim. arguably, there is something behind it. - not as given on a whim. arguably, there is something behind it. is i not as given on a whim. arguably, there is something behind it. is a| there is something behind it. is a violation. the _ there is something behind it. is —. violation. the gentleman you had on previously actually correctly articulated what you have to get a search warrant for, a crime was committed, there is evidence of the crime at liz mar—a—lago, if we do not get it now it may be gone tomorrow. it could be a really serious piece of paper but he could also be anything that violates the professional records act. it's hard to describe, not all

of us keep every single thing that we look at her touch. the president of the united states is to do that i think it's important that the department ofjustice clarifies that this is part of a larger investigation into the january six riots, or isjust investigation into the january six riots, or is just learning that they think of the president on a technicality and they want to try and into the max on it? truth? technicality and they want to try and into the max on it? why the resident and into the max on it? why the president felt _ and into the max on it? why the president felt the _ and into the max on it? why the president felt the need - and into the max on it? why the i president felt the need to remove and into the max on it? why the - president felt the need to remove so much material? that president felt the need to remove so much material?— much material? that is a good auestion much material? that is a good question i _ much material? that is a good question i do _ much material? that is a good question i do not _ much material? that is a good question i do not want - much material? that is a good question i do not want to - much material? that is a good i question i do not want to dismiss much material? that is a good - question i do not want to dismiss it because it is the law, no question about it. but don't ever assume the conspiracy were complete incompetence will explain things. at the end of the truman administration, no one is running the shop. mark medicines are doing a good job as the chief of staff, p either knee—deep in the stop the steel movement but they're running out of the building trying to see if they can get a job at the end of the administration. so, my guess is probably simple incompetence. as it possible that there's something in

that stack but is very damning to the president? yes, it is. and if it is, if that's with the departments was looking for. if they're doing this on a basic technicality, americans technically break the law just about every single day and you can kick anybody store and to look for minor infractions. that's what this could be. so the department of justice has put the populace, they need to explain what they did. idietitian need to explain what they did. when ou have need to explain what they did. when you have the — need to explain what they did. when you have the timing _ need to explain what they did. when you have the timing of _ need to explain what they did. when you have the timing of this, - need to explain what they did. when you have the timing of this, finding out about the searches, we are now hearing trump back on the offensive about this, his supporters are very angry about this and i guess in terms of the timing of hearing about these searches, does play into his favour, arguably. it these searches, does play into his favour, arguably.— favour, arguably. it does but it's not his fault. _

favour, arguably. it does but it's not his fault. he _ favour, arguably. it does but it's not his fault. he did _ favour, arguably. it does but it's not his fault. he did not - favour, arguably. it does but it's not his fault. he did not invite i favour, arguably. it does but it's. not his fault. he did not invite the invasion of his home. asking about the timing from a political standpoint, from the biden administration and we understand thatjoe biden did not know anything about the raid, we assume given the gravity of this attorney general, but if you're the biden administration, yet be scratching your head, we doing the six weeks before the midterm election? if there is nothing there, or if they found something on the technical violation of the law, yet they have invaded a former president's house, this could really backfire the democrats on the election. but if there's something significant there that does tie the president directly to the criminal activities that in windows happen onjanuary six. 800 people a been charged with crimes as a part of the riot. is there something significant there that could help the democrats, may be. but one has to wonder, does the department ofjustice understand the political ramifications of what it is doing. i hope it doesn't stop i

hope the biden administration hopes it does purely left to wonder because a very curious timing for them to do this. it is because a very curious timing for them to do this.— them to do this. it is the way the us is set out. _ them to do this. it is the way the us is set out. you're _ them to do this. it is the way the us is set out. you're not - them to do this. it is the way the i us is set out. you're not suggesting that the being politcised, we're hearing about this potentially being weaponisation of the judiciary, do not suggesting that, surely? is not suggesting that, surely? i3 evidence that this is already happened and i've started, interest in defending the department of justice, i want the institution to have credibility let's be honest with each other, does the same department ofjustice that got caught lying to a federaljudge about donald trump as part of the russian investigation. that is a fact. this is the same department of justice that led to the press and the public about the content of hunter biden�*s laptop. as a verifiable fact. they have a track record of lying about donald trump that they need to overcome so, you would hope that if they're going to do this, with their track record, they would be especially careful in

that going after something especially significant, part of me whoops that's what they were looking for because they're just looking for boris johnson's for because they're just looking for borisjohnson�*s menu, that we have a bigger problem that i thought. you talk about borisjohnson but on bigger problem that i thought. you talk about boris johnson but on a talk about borisjohnson but on a serious point, timing wise, the concern that perhaps information details will get disposed of and just thinking become political reported back in 2018 of the ripping up reported back in 2018 of the ripping up of documents and we got the new york times talking about bits of paper clogging up toilets and the timing is, is there not concern that this document, this information, this document, this information, this evidence which is get destroyed?— this evidence which is get destro ed? ., ., ., ., destroyed? you have to the level of robable destroyed? you have to the level of probable cause _ destroyed? you have to the level of probable cause to _ destroyed? you have to the level of probable cause to get _ destroyed? you have to the level of probable cause to get your - destroyed? you have to the level of probable cause to get your search i probable cause to get your search warrant. you have to convince a judge that there is probable cause that the documents will be destroyed eminently in order to get a search warrant. but the borisjohnson menu example is not hyperbole, it's not a

red herring. as of the pieces of paper in the photograph and would like a member of congress his name is anna. if that is a member of congress is going to conspire with me to overthrow the government, that is a really big thing. it's a member of congress like a car before four o'clock this afternoon because of getting on an aeroplane, that's another thing. getting on an aeroplane, that's anotherthing. both getting on an aeroplane, that's another thing. both of those things are equal under the presidential records act that donald trump is accused of breaking. so again, i don't want to be too legalistic, but in the real world, there's a difference between serious matters in the scratchpad with a doodle on it. but all of the sins are covered by the law but the department of justice needs to have some rationality and some reasonableness when it comes to enforcing that law and i'm hopeful that they have that. former chief of staff, thank you very much. thank you. let's go to kenya now — where polls have closed in the vote for a new president to succeed uhuru kenyatta.

two key things have dominated this election: allegations of government corruption — and kenya's cost of living crisis. polls closed at 5pm local time after 11 hours of voting. despite long lines and logistical problems in some areas, overall voting appears to have gone smoothly. but there's concern about low turnout. 0ver over 56% of the 22 million registered voters voted in today's day. it really is disturbing, especially to the front runners. four candidates are running. but most polls predict a two—horse race between former prime minister raila 0dinga on the left, and vice president, william ruto. mr 0dinga, who represents the orange democratic alliance, was prime minister from 2008 to 2013. his key policy promises are double—digit economic growth and affordable healthcare for all.

he has the backing of president kenyatta, who fell out with his own deputy, the other frontrunner william ruto. here's what 0dinga said at his last rally. let my people go. free them from thieves. free them from the lies. and free them from the chain links of corruption. let's look at the other frontrunner. william ruto represents the united democratic alliance. he's been deputy president since 2013. he's wealthy, but has styled himself as a champion of the poor due to his modest upbringing. he's pledged subsidised health insurance for all kenyans, and 420 million dollars a year to support small businesses. here's his message to voters. the people of kenya will prevail

over the deep state and they will prevail over the system and we are going to have a nation that leaves no canyon behind. no kenyan behind. now lets take a look at the main issues for voters. these include soaring food and fuel prices, a severe drought that's left millions hungry, and disenchantment with the political elite, particularly among young people. here's our correspondent merchuma. the cost of living is a 5.8, the highest recorded in years. this is the time for basic commodities like cooking oil, paving soap, has gone up. and corruption, we have every day, case of government officials embezzling funds and getting so where people cannot account for money that belongs to the public for

taxpayers money, so it's a very big issue in another issue is dead. can you's debt ceiling is an all—time high it's on people have been complaining about. a few things that unions are really voting against her for in the selection and things like health care, health care is very expensive and canyon every day we are seeing a tweet on social media, people asking that people can fund raise they can take their tip to the hospital. these are some of things that are making people at the turn up that are making people at the turn up to vote not turn up because people are looking at the ballot papers are presented to them and it's somebody who is representative and someone who will not make things better for them, and someone who will not make things betterfor them, then i will say they do not have a reason to come. three—quarters of kenya's total population are under the age we want all canyons to turn out and vote in _ we want all canyons to turn out and

vote in peace. —— kenyans. that's because past elections have been far from peaceful. in the 1990s, ruling party members attacked and burned opposition supporters�* homes to suppress turnout. after the 2007 general election, mr 0dinga accused the ruling party of rigging the vote, prompting violence that saw more thirteen hundred people killed. and in 2017, rights groups estimate over 100 people were killed before and after the august and october elections, as police attacked opposition protests. votes are being counted but it will be days before the outcome of the election is declared. dr hassan khannenje is the director of the horn international institute for strategic studies, an objective thank tank in nairobi. lets start with turnout, with just overjust over half 56% of the 22 million registered voters actually voting, it was over 80% in the first round of the 2017 election, what does this say about the candidates?

the turnout is a testament of the disillusionment of many of the citizens, especially in response to the runway cost—of—living and political leaders to provide viable solutions. this situation has been exacerbated by the recent pandemic thatis exacerbated by the recent pandemic that is really squeeze communities and completely wiped out whatever existed. there's very little faith in these leaders to provide an alternative bit future is being reflected in the kind of turnout thatis reflected in the kind of turnout that is chronically, in the last 30 years. we think about the future, we think about young people. memo

years. we think about the future, we think about young people.— think about young people. kenya has a ounu think about young people. kenya has a young population- _ think about young people. kenya has a young population. under _ think about young people. kenya has a young population. under the i think about young people. kenya has a young population. under the age . think about young people. kenya has| a young population. under the age of 35 and yet, their opportunities are not fantastic, or any of these candidates offering something concrete for them? it is candidates offering something concrete for them?— concrete for them? it is been extraordinary _ concrete for them? it is been extraordinary because i concrete for them? it is been extraordinary because of- concrete for them? it is been - extraordinary because of government before and it think part of the apathy is a result of for them serving to be able to provide solutions to young people. the young people from the majority of kenya's voting population. and however, increased and limited opportunities have made sure that they don't have access to jobs, have made sure that they don't have access tojobs, basic have made sure that they don't have access to jobs, basic services in a time of the cost living is high, but the dangers of the youth bulk is the job place could create a recipe for disaster. especially if there's not

and a further rise injanuary is expected to take it well over four—thousand—pounds a year, leaving families facing bills of more than three—hundred—and—fifty—pounds every month. these increases are massive. talk us through the reason why we're seeing these huge rises. it is through the reason why we're seeing these huge rises.— these huge rises. it is a huge rise. enera these huge rises. it is a huge rise. energy bills _ these huge rises. it is a huge rise. energy bills potentially _ these huge rises. it is a huge rise. energy bills potentially hitting i energy bills potentially hitting double of where they are now in two main factors behind this. the first one is the rise in wholesale gas prices. wholesale gas prices have been soaring partly because russia's been soaring partly because russia's been restricting the supply of gas through an essential pipeline to germany and other central european countries and that is because wholesale gas prices to rise up and cause fear of the availability of energy as we head into the key autumn and winter months. the other factors more technical that is after the energy regulator changed the way

that suppliers are able to do their bills. many supplies have been picking up additional customers and men picking up extra customers, that went under. and a lot of supplies have been at a higher price than what they are able to charge those customers on lower tariffs due to the price gap that you mentioned and we have this extra bill, if you like and the regulators are essentially saying, 0k, and the regulators are essentially saying, ok, you can recoup those costs from customers but in the space of time, that is shorter than what is previously thought and so, all these costs theirs was to be spread out over 2023 are now coming closer to the start of the year and thatis closer to the start of the year and that is why this talk of expectations for a price gap scoring higher—than—expected. 10% higher and thatis higher—than—expected. 10% higher and that is why there is talk today of the energy bills hitting more than £4000 a yearforjanuary. the energy bills hitting more than £4000 a year forjanuary. that is obviously going to be very, very

worrying for those already struggling with the rising costs and soaring costs of food, fuel and energy as well as inflation at a 40 year high and we should see that the regulators since future forecasts they say are not reliable given how fast wholesale prices are rising. tide fast wholesale prices are rising. we don't have much time left when it comes to the 0fgem cap, the way that they kept the timings with which they kept the timings with which they decide the cap should be, that changes as well and the sudden impact on the prognosis, just another seconds, if you will. sis, another seconds, if you will. six months is _ another seconds, if you will. 5 months is change to every of the three months and it's also having an impact on all of this. we should also say that a lot of these are global. so, we tied with the supply issue with gas coming out in other countries are going be facing similar pressures as well but that's not going to be much problems for households over here we are facing the prospect of much higher energy

bills. :: i: i: ,, ., bills. over £4000 by the end of the ear. bills. over £4000 by the end of the year- more — bills. over £4000 by the end of the year. more details _ bills. over £4000 by the end of the year. more details on _ bills. over £4000 by the end of the year. more details on that - bills. over £4000 by the end of the year. more details on that they i bills. over £4000 by the end of the year. more details on that they are. thank you for watching. hello. well, the heat waves upon us but it would take a few days before we get those really high temperatures and the high pressures with us and it's been there for such a long time now. are they any rain fall obviously for many parts of the country and it's going to stay bone dry leaves for the rest of this we get those really high temperatures and the high pressures with us and it's been there for such a long time now. hardly any rain fall obviously for many parts of the country and it's going to stay bone dry leaves for the rest of this week and possibly at sunshine right from the word go and some cloud in the northwest and 18 degrees, no heat wave runners we have 13 and the peak district and into the 30s across southern england and parts of wills.

and then on thursday, we will start to see that harder stream of air spreading across into wales in southwest england and ireland where there's going to be very hot too. and this is where the extreme heat morning comes in for thursday and thatis morning comes in for thursday and that is going to extended peak of heat and notjust one hot day but a few hot days in a row and possibly into the mid—30s and you can see on thursday, 3435 degrees across southern and central england and possibly parts of wales in 28 in newcastle around 30 or so likely in yorkshire by freddie, liverpool was see 35 there in london but much fresher in northern parts of scotland and how hot, not dizzying heights like we saw last time and i suspect around 36 or so give or take a degree by the time we get to friday and into saturday and lasting

a few days, by the time we get to sunday, just a hand of may be a couple of degrees lower and then, will can do monday, that is on the start to see fresher air arriving and yes, there will be an end to the heat wave and more importantly, we are forecasting some rainfall. and come sunday, we will see thunderstorms across france, some of them major rift in the southern parts of the uk and sunday and monday. i think by the time to get to my date though be that fresher atlantic air and scattered showers. goodbye.

hello, i'm kasia madera. this is 0utside source. horns honk. save america! another political first for donald trump — the fbi searches the former president's home, and his supporters are not happy. we have to stand up for our rights and ourfreedoms, because they're being eroded. as the political backlash continues, we'll look at how this unprecedented event took place. also in the programme... ..vote counting is under way in kenya, where a new president is being chosen to succeed uhuru kenyatta. and calls for government action as energy bills are forecast to rise again for millions of uk households.

welcome back to the programme, and let's go back to our top story. senior us republicans have condemned the fbi's unprecedented search of donald trump's florida home on monday as an abuse of power. last night we, saw crowds of trump supporters gather outside the former president's home to protest the fbi's search of the property. and there've been demonstrations across the day, too. let's hear from some of those at those protests. the democrats are weaponising the fbi and it has to stop. the fbi is not here to weaponise against another person, no matter what's happened before. they should go after things that are clearly a violation. some of the supporters for former president trump. chi chi izundu is

outside mar—a—lago. we heard that feeling from the people who are not happy about these searches. , , , searches. indeed. despite the burnin: searches. indeed. despite the burning sun— searches. indeed. despite the burning sun here, _ searches. indeed. despite the burning sun here, they i searches. indeed. despite the burning sun here, they are i searches. indeed. despite the| burning sun here, they are still gathering. a number of trump supporters are here with their flags or trump 2024 flies, saying this is unprecedented, this is politcised and they're condemning the justice department and the fbi. yesterday, at the primary residence of donald trumpjust behind me, the fbi executed a search. donald trump called it a raid and said his home was under siege, adding they came unannounced and it was unnecessary and not appropriate. he says that this is potentially trying to

prevent him from running in 2024. this all matters timing wise because america's gearing up for the midterm elections, and this has made everything lyrical. the democrats said no one is above the law, the republicans are saying that this is the weaponisation of the justice department. what is it that the fbi will actually —— were looking for? we don't know because they haven't made any comment on the details of that search. we know that eric trump was on fox news last night, and he says this is in relation to some documents, and the national archive asked the justice documents, and the national archive asked thejustice department earlier to investigate donald trump because they said they found 15 boxes filled in this property, and some of those had official documentation and some

of those documents had been ripped apart and taped back together. they want to know more. i guess the question for us now is what were those documents about? something i guess time, we will find out if possible, if the fbi executes their search legally. everyone is waiting into this argument from mike pence, saying this is unprecedented, quoting donald trump, who said no other president in the united states has ever gone through this before. to hillary clinton, saying she sold out on her e—mails and merchandise, referencing the criticism donald trump pushed against her when she was being investigated about sending e—mails from private accounts. 0nce e—mails from private accounts. once again, there is division in america. the white house says they didn't know anything about this search before it happened.— know anything about this search before it happened. chi-chi, thank ou so

before it happened. chi-chi, thank you so much _ before it happened. chi-chi, thank you so much for— before it happened. chi-chi, thank you so much for bringing _ before it happened. chi-chi, thank you so much for bringing us i before it happened. chi-chi, thank you so much for bringing us up i before it happened. chi-chi, thank you so much for bringing us up to. you so much for bringing us up to date. just outside the mar—a—lago residence behind her. joining us from washington is randall eliason, a former federal prosecutor. let's start at the beginning. help us understand, when it comes to these kind of search warrants, on what grounds are they issued? so the rocedure what grounds are they issued? so the procedure is — what grounds are they issued? so the procedure is that _ what grounds are they issued? so the procedure is that law _ what grounds are they issued? so the procedure is that law enforcement i procedure is that law enforcement have to go to a judge or a magistrate and establish probable cause. you have to submit an affidavit outlining the evidence and why you believe a crime has been committed. you have to get a neutral judge to agree with you. then you

this is moscow's children's rights commissioner telling vladimir putin that russian citizens have big hearts, and are lining up to take the children. ukraine, though, calls that propaganda. deputy prime minister iryna vereshchuk has been helping relatives and guardians track down their children, and negotiating their return. translation: it's very hard. it's my destiny to bring them home. 0ne12—year—old girl had to dig a hole to bury her mother. they tried to bury her brother, too, but his corpse was too heavy for them to drag. i've seen small children whose hair has turned white. so, just some of the statements there. dr ewelina 0chab is a programme lawyer with the international bar association's human rights institute.

it will be a disaster. amidst a globalfood crisis from the war in ukraine, another breadbasket, france, is showing worrying signs. its corn production is forecast to drop by 18% with the drought, wheat and animal feed also falling. 0ur planet is not weathering the storm. translation: the ukraine war has | shown how countries must become | more independent with their food production. with the conflict and now climate change bringing farming to its knees, there are big questions about how we feed our world. today, the bridge almost feels like a throwback to another era when abundance and high tides meant no picnicking this low down. i shouldn't actually be able to be standing here. this is the middle of the loire river, but you can see how barren it's become. locals say that the water has never been so low at this time of the year. a rich and vital resource for this region is depleting.

mark lowen, bbc news, in the loire valley. this is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur our main story... senior republicans condemn the fbi's search of donald trump's florida home, calling it an abuse of power. vote counting is under way in kenya, where a new president is being chosen to succeed uhuru kenyatta. let's go to afghanistan. it's been nearly a year since the taliban took power there. life for afghan people has changed a lot since then. there's been huge displacement because tens of thousands of people have left afghanistan. and then, there's the humanitarian crisis inside the country. the world bank says...

and then, there's the impact on women's rights. most girls�* secondary schools have been ordered to close. the bbc�*s secunder kermani has been reporting from afghanistan since the taliban took power, and a year ago, secunder met four afghans of different backgrounds. he's now managed to catch up with them to see how things have changed. he sent this report. a taliban sniper, a british army interpreter, a youtuber, and a villager. how four afghan lives have transformed. as the taliban advanced across afghanistan last year, we met this man, a taliban sniper who has killed dozens of afghan soldiers. translation: we will fight until there is an examining system here.

now, a year on, he's got an officejob. the taliban are changing from insurgents to a government. we were fighting against our enemies with our weapons, now we are serving our people with our thoughts. what's harder, fighting or governing? governing is much harder than war. when the taliban entered kabul last august, many were terrified. youtuber rowena went and filmed them. since then, female tv presenters have been ordered to cover their faces. whilst there has been dismay, as most girls secondary whilst there's been dismay, as most girls secondary schools remained closed. 12 months after the takeover, rowena is pushing boundaries and still making videos. but out and about, she's dressing more conservatively and chooses her words carefully. translation: my request -

to the taliban is women and girls do observe the hijab. they should be given all the freedoms granted by islam. their rights should not be taken away. they should be allowed to work and study. the chaos outside kabul airport was watched around airport was watched around the world last year. my family, my newborn baby... struggling to get inside, we met this former british army interpreter and his young family. khaled was eventually evacuated and given a house in the uk. he's grateful. many others are still stuck in hotel rooms. but he's finding it hard to adjust. we found it was such a difficult life here. l nowhere is like homeland. after the taliban takeover last year, we visited one of the many afghan villages along the front lines.

translation: because of the war, we couldn't even go to the market. | now we can go everywhere. now, there's peace, but also a deep economic crisis. translation: there is no work, no jobs. i people just depend on relatives abroad. it is true there was more money during previous government, but the situation was bad. they caused us too many problems. four lives out of so many changed forever. secunder kermani, bbc news, afghanistan. serena williams says she will retire from tennis after the us open. she said she will be all away from the sport. writing for vogue, the american champion said...

a taliban sniper, a british army interpreter, a youtuber, let's remind ourselves what serena williams has achieved. 23 grand slam singles titles — the most of any woman in the open era — 39 combined major titles in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. four olympic gold medals in singles and doubles, 186 consecutive weeks at number one, a joint—record with chris evert, and $94 million in prize money. i'm shattered even thinking about it. the tennis journalist stephanie myles is in montreal. what a superstar. she's an icon. to all of those _ what a superstar. she's an icon. to all of those things. _ what a superstar. she's an icon. to all of those things. we _ what a superstar. she's an icon. to all of those things. we never i what a superstar. she's an icon. to| all of those things. we never really got to know the real she reaches us either as a woman, or a mother, as a black woman, as a

think that's one reason why she realises that next title is unlikely to happen, so at this point, it's better to say goodbye on her own terms. and her body is basically telling her that it's time to go. same with roger federer and everyone else. i'm glad she came back to say goodbye, and i think it will give people the opportunity to give her a proper sendoff where, for so many years, she did not get the respect she deserves. she is the goddess and diva and legend and icon, so i'm happy for her and i hope she makes one last crazy run at the us open. wouldn't that be amazing? in terms of... she talk about not wanting to be pregnant again as an athlete. is

southern england and parts of wales. on thursday, we see that water stream of air out of the near continent, spreading across england into wales and southwest england. also ireland, where it will be very hot, so this is when the extreme heat warning comes into force. it is valid from thursday to sunday, and that will be extended peak of heat, if you like, so notjust one hot day, but a few hot days in a row. possibly into the mid—30s. widely 34 or 35 across southern and central england, possibly wales, 28 for newcastle, around 30 likely in yorkshire. by friday, 31 for liverpool and you could see 35 in london. much fresher in northern parts of scotland. not the dizzy heights of 40 degrees we saw last time. i suspect around 36 or so, give or take a degree, by the time to get to friday and possibly

saturday. there's that extended period of heat lasting a few days, and by the time we get to sunday, just a hint of maybe a couple of degrees lower, and then when we get into monday, that's when we start to see the fresher air arriving. yes, there will be an end to the heatwave and the breakdown on the way, and more portly, we are forecasting some rainfall. come sunday, we will see thunderstorms across france, some may drift into southern parts of the uk, but i think by the time we get to monday, we have the fresher atlantic air and scattered showers. bye—bye.
