events, parties and going out have returned, and it seems sky—high heels are back in fashion. i feel ifeel inbox. we begin in the us, where a federaljudge has ordered thejustice department to release a redacted version of the underlying evidence that prompted an fbi search at donald trump's mar—a—lago home earlier this month. the judge who approved the search warrant said the redacted version of the affidavit submitted in application of the warrant should be unsealed, citing public interest as the reason to do so. prosecutors now have until noon on friday to make the document public. our north america

correspondent, anthony zurcher gave us the latest from outside the court in florida. judge bruce reinhart who works in the federal court house just behind me has given the us justice department until noon on friday to release a redacted version of the affidavit the justice department presented to the judge as part of its request for a search warrant of donald trump's mar—a—largo estate about two and a half weeks ago. the judge released a 2—page memo saying he agreed with the proposed redactions from thejustice department. he said it protected the identity of potential witnesses and sources, and shielded the scope and strategy behind the federal investigation. that investigation is into the handling of classified material in the chaotic final days of donald trump's presidency, and the removal of the material from the white house in boxes to mar—a—largo where it was stored over the past year and a half. this isn't the only legal proceedings around this search. there is another request by donald trump's lawyers

to appoint a special master to review all of these documents, and then determine which ones thejustice department can keep and which ones should go back to donald trump. thejudge has issued a deadline of friday in that request for donald trump's lawyers to more carefully refine it to present what exactly they want from their request. so there are a lot of moving parts in this investigation right now, but the bigger picture is all of this is unprecedented. there has never been a federal search of a home of a former president, particularly a former president who still may harbour presidential ambitions, as donald trump does. well earlier we spoke to us constitutional lawyer, bruce fein. he talked us through the legal implications. i don't know whether it actually moves the ball forward with regard to any prosecution of mr trump. the search warrant was executed and mr trump has never challenged its validity,

as he has a right to do under rule 41 of what we call the federal rules of criminal procedure. it really feeds the public interest in the particular evidence of the three crimes that are identified in the search warrant that were suspected to have had evidence in mr trump's file that had not been returned to national archives because they were presidential records. i do take issue a little bit with saying this is unprecedented, partly because i have worked through all presidential impeachments, beginning with nixon. in mr nixon's case, there were four subpoenas issued to him while he was president by the house judiciary committee relating to obstruction ofjustice. and when mr nixon didn't comply, there were articles of impeachment voted. i was in the housejudiciary committee when president gerald ford testified about his pardon of nixon's, explaining how it was not corrupted.

mr nixon, after he left office, was required to testify for ii hours before a grand jury. mr bill clinton, you could have watched on tv, his testimony for the grand jury, answering questions and his videotape of the paula jones deposition. in the united states, the rule of law of king, the king is not law, so there really is nothing unprecedented in my view, constitutionally, about the search warrant of mr trump's home. it is unprecedented since the presidential records act of 1978 in which i helped draught, that this is the first time a president ever carted off to his home documents that were prepared in the course of his presidency. those documents belong to the united states, not any individual. i served in the government for 15 years. when i left, all of my documents with the government's, none were my own. the only thing that is unprecedented is mr trump's contempt for the law. and how much does this affect mr trump's chances of running for presidency again in 202a?

i think it's a little premature until we know further steps in the legal process. i think the search warrant and the publicity will peel away some of his support, but it's not clear how much. remember, it's pretty lame for him to allege that this is some kind of fbi witch—hunt when the fbi is headed by his own appointee, christopher wray. christopher wray was confirmed by every single republican in the senate under the law. if mr trump thought before he left office injanuary 2021 that mr wray kind of turned, defected to the other side he could have fired him, which he didn't do, and so it is pretty hard to argue that your own appointee who you could have fired is somehow engaged in a witch—hunt. and plus, mr wray is not a political appointee, he has never run for office in his life, but the point that you're asking is, what does shake out politically mean? i think trump will lose some support in the short run once we have more disclosure. in the long run i think it will depend more on what kind

of criminal charges may be forthcoming, which could be far more devastating than just a search warrant. on that point, mr trump's detractors often looking for some kind of conviction — guilt, prosecution. mr trump's supporters looking for vindication and being found innocent, what do you think will happen in this case? i believe that if there is an indictment it would be tried in the us district court in the district of columbia. the district of columbia would not be favourable to mr trump, it votes about 99% democrat. i reside in the district of columbia and that is where the jury would be drawn. and if you can recall right now, these january 6th prosecutions occurring, there have been over 200 guilty pleas — not a single individualfound innocent. there are 600 more to go. and i do think that given the notoriety of mr trump for being a compulsive liar, to be candid, the most obvious one that you probably know about is the fake, fantastical standing order that anything he took out

of the oval office was automatically declassified — something that no—one ever knew about and maybe he dreamt about once. that if he was indicted he would be his own worst enemy, and i do think he would be convicted. at that point i do not think he would be a credible candidate in 202a. let's get some of the day's other news in brief. to ukraine now, where there's continuing concern over safety at europe's largest nuclear power plant, which is held by russian forces. the final two working reactors at the zaporizhzhia power plant were cut off from ukraine's power grid on thursday. the country's nuclear agency said the problem was caused by nearby fires that damaged overhead cables. the power was later restored, but the incident rang alarm bells far beyond ukraine's borders. a nuclear power plant — and i believe i said this

yesterday — should never be an active war zone. and so we have said russia should agree to demilitarise the zone around the plant and agree to allow an international atomic energy agency visit as soon as possible to check on the safety and security of the systems. for more on this, john herbst was the us ambassador to ukraine between 2003—2006 and is now a senior director at the atlantic council. hejoins us from fairfax, virgina. thank fairfax, virgina. you very much for making the thank you very much for making the time for us. in march they put military stores in or around, and apparently had been conducting fire exercises — i mean shooting from areas near the reactor. the ukrainians have

been talking about this for sometime and recently over the past month or so the international community, the iaea and you and have recognised the danger, and i would say the — may have a rather active in pushing for access to the site. this will only increase pressure on moscow to allow access, kyiv will happily allow access. maybe we will get some control over this difficult situation. you talk about the pressure on moscow increasing, but the pressure has been there for months and moscow has refused to back down and is still pretty stepfather, do you really think things will change? i'm not promising it, but keep in mind that moscow was blockading ukrainian port so they could not ship green for months, and pressure gradually build and it was eventually persuaded russia to let some ships depart ukrainian ports with green for markets

elsewhere. given the intense attention to this now and this latest development, dangerous development today, this may persuade the kremlin to stop playing with fire. these requests have come from washington, london, the united nations, nato, and they have fallen on deaf ears, are there other intermediary countries that can do more to help, turkey for example? i think that there are, it would be wonderfulfor i think that there are, it would be wonderful for example if india, a longtime friend of moscow would make its desires honest, also there could be other countries that could be conceivably be heard by an explosion by the rector, even countries in the middle east have expressed concern about this. i'm not predicting that moscow will allow access, i am saying that growing pressure could help that. as did the green numbugga.

is there anything ukraine could do to help facilitate this? ukraine has a great interest in allowing international access because if the reactor were to blow ukraine would be the immediate and largest victim of it. again, it is not in moscow's interest for reactor to blow because russian territory would be had but are the european countries would be hit and this would produce a sharper reaction against moscow's current wall of war crimes in ukraine. there has been speculation one of the reasons russia is keen to hold onto the powerplant is because they want to disconnected from ukraine's grid and connected to russia's read. what is your take on that? i think this is quite possible but i don't think it is a short thing because, again, this would have a very dramatic impact on people in ukraine and would be seen as one more russian war crime added to the

list of many, and they don't need another international black eye at this time. crosstalk. they may allow access. john herbst, thank you. russia's president vladimir putin has signed a decree to increase russia's army by 10% to about two million people. just over half the total personnel will be soldiers, though it's not yet clear if the numbers will be boosted through volunteers, or broader conscription. while no official death tolls are available, russian forces have suffered heavy losses as a result of the war in ukraine. the increase is due to come into effect from january next year. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: as parties and going out return after the pandemic, it seems sky—high heels are back in fashion. he's the first african—american to win the presidential

this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the usjustice department has been ordered to release a redacted version of the evidence that prompted the fbi to search donald trump's mar—a—lago home. safety concerns grow at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in ukraine after the russian—occupied site was temporarily disconnected from the national power grid. bbc arabic has gone undercover to find out whether businesses are discriminating against women who wear the hijab in egypt. the egyptian constitution bans discrimination on the basis of religion, sex, race or social class but several venues are still refusing entry to veiled women. this woman is 25 years old. her

sister and most of her friends do not wear the hijab. going out with them has become difficult. she is afraid she will be blocked from entering venues with them because she wears a hijab. for years, women wearing hijab in egypt have complained on social media of discrimination. we found many testimonies of discrimination at high—end venues. bbc news arabic tried to book 15 high—end restaurants in cairo which cater to tourists, so also serve alcohol. i have all been accused of banning the hijab. some were happy to accept a booking without any restrictions at 11 venues told bbc undercover teams the veil is not allowed. we sent a

married couple as an undercover team to the venues. they seem to have the most explicit bands. the woman was wearing a hijab. we were told several times that the problem was they had a bar serving alcohol.

we asked if there is such a law preventing veiled women from entering restaurants that serve alcohol. after her recent experience, may is searching for some support. amira is an mp who actively campaigns for women's rights. she met meyer at her home to listen to her and learn more about all of these issues.

amira promised meyer she will raise these issues in the egyptian parliament but until then, women say while the discrimination continues, their lives and choices are being limited. that special report from our colleagues at bbc arabic. many parts of the world have been facing soaring temperatures but in china, a record heatwave has led to particularly severe drought, threatening crops and drying up riverbeds. for 12 consecutive days, officials have issued a national red alert when four or more provinces experience temperatures over a0 degrees for two days or more. take a look at this map. it shows where the worst of the drought is, mostly across the south of the country. the ministry of agriculture says it's affected crops such as rice and corn in particular. it's the longest sustained period of high temperatures and sparse rain in southern china since records began more than 60 years ago, leaving water levels

in the yangtze river at an all—time low. our correspondent stephen mcdonell has sent this report from beijing. in august, laoye temple is normally surrounded by water. this year, you can walk to it across the dry bed of poyang lake. for 70 days, the yangtze river basin has been caught in a record heat wave and low river levels have hit hydroelectricity production. one of the worst—affected cities has been the inland metropolis of chongqing, home to tens of millions of residents. they've been riding underground trains in the dark because of power rationing. translation: this year, - you turn on the cold water tap for a few minutes and yet, it's still coming out extremely hot. translation: the weather is so hot, i cannot sleep. i then i wake up with the heat as well. environmentalists are opposing

calls for more fossil fuel electricity to guard against future drought effects on hydropower. to ensure the energy supply of residents and industry is supposed to be the most priority thing for china to do right now, but we're also concerned that this kind of narrative will, you know, give opportunity for more new coal power plants in the local provinces. china has been experiencing extreme high temperatures across vast swathes of this country for months on end, bringing climate change into sharp focus for people on the street. then, to make things worse, this turned into a drought, which is really hitting the economy. consumers across china could find certain foods harder to come by, unless the drought breaks soon. what's more, if china can't rescue its autumn harvest and has to buy more food from overseas, this could have an effect on global supplies. crops are said to be under severe threat,

according to chinese officials, so extra water has been diverted from neighbouring provinces to the driest areas. translation: with | water, there is hope. this water is coming all the way from hunan. even water for everyday use has been hard to come by in some communities. with river levels so low, previously submerged 600—year—old buddhas have again become visible. they'll gaze out onto what humans have made of the world until the rains return, replenishing the water, which will eventually reclaim the relics. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, beijing. let's get some of the day's other news in brief. pakistan's climate change minister has described the country's unprecedented monsoon rains and flooding as a national emergency. sherry rehman called for international help and said the situation was a climate—induced humanitarian disaster of epic proportions. the provinces of sindh and balochistan have been the worst—hit regions.

please do drop me a note. much more on the bbc news website, of course. thank you for watching. see you next time. hello. well, last night, parts of south—eastern britain were swamped by thunderstorms — a month and a half of rainfall in one or two spots — much quieter out there right 110w. and friday promises to be a decent day. not all that sunny. we are expecting the clouds to increase through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, all as a result of this weather front which is approaching from the west. it's a weaker weather front. there's not an awful lot of rain on it — perhaps a few showers out towards the west, and notice that central and eastern areas will be mostly bright, even sunny. so here's a closer look, then, early hours of the morning. here's the cloud reaching south—western parts of england, wales, the irish sea. certainly cloudy for northern ireland and parts of scotland early on friday morning. out towards the east and south,

it will be much brighter. 1a in london, the starting temperature. around 10 or 11 in the north of scotland. so starts off quite sunny, but then, this weak weather front moving very slowly across the uk will build cloud across many central parts of england. i suspect the sunniest areas will be along the north sea coast, around the coasts of east anglia and also the channel. and you can see where the showers are possible — maybe in south—western scotland, one or two elsewhere, the north—west of england, perhaps wales. now, the weekend — all—important weekend, because it is, of course, for some of us a bank holiday weekend — sunny spells and just a few showers on the horizon. so predominantly sunny weather on saturday, with high pressure building. this weak weather front may just about brush the very far north—west of the uk and the temperatures are highest in the south—west of the uk. in cardiff, around 25 celsius. here's that area of high pressure and this time, its building from the north. look at the arrows — they're blowing around the high and the winds will be quite strong at times, so it does mean that the coasts

of around the north sea and east anglia and the channel could be quite chilly at times. that will push the warmth out towards the west, so the best weather conditions, i think, around the irish sea, wales, the south—west of england. here, temperatures up to around the mid 20s once again, but very decent also, say, in glasgow — up to around 21 celsius. now here's the outlook through the weekend and into next week and i think overall, we can say that the weather is mostly set fair for most parts of the uk. that's it for me. bye— bye.
