hello, i'm maryam moshiri, this is outside source. four occupied regions of ukraine calla vote this week onjoining russia. the un secretary general warns the war in ukraine, food shortages and climate change could bring a winter of discontent a cost—of—living crisis is raging, trust is crumbling, inequalities are exploding, and our planet is burning. liz truss starts her first foreign trip since becoming prime minister with a focus on energy security and combating russia's war in ukraine. also coming up: warnings of an increase in water borne diseases in the wake

of pakistan's devastating floods. de facto authorities in four russian occupied or partially—occupied regions of ukraine have announced plans to hold referendums on joining russia this week — as ukraine continues to recapture territory in the north—east. proxy administrations in luhansk, donetsk, kherson and zaporizhzhia all say that voting will start this friday. this is what the russian—appointed head of the region had to say. translation: i will personally a - eal to translation: i will personally appeal to the — translation: i will personally appeal to the president. - translation: i will personally appeal to the president. with l translation: i will personally appeal to the president. with ai appeal to the president. with a request for legal approval of the

view of the french president. the white house meanwhile says there are attempts by russia to gather manpower in the face of ukraine's successful counter offensive. russia is throwing together schama referendums on three days' notice as they continue to lose ground on the battlefield, and as more world leaders distance themselves from russia on the public stage. and russia is scraping for personnel to throw into this fight. ukraine is continuing to regain territory in its counter offensive. the pictures we saw earlier were filmed in a town previously held by russian forces. it is in the new hanson region although russia is thought to still hold around 20% of ukraine. —— luhansk region. maria mezenseva is the ukrainian mp representing

kharkiv, which is now fully back under control of the ukrainians. here's what she had to say about the votes. the referendums you havejust mentioned, the possible ones, we don't recognise them as well as our partners. and we don't think it will pave a way of any, you know, further introduction with russia. as president zelensky said, it will not prevent us from liberalising the regions affected and temporarily occupied crimea. we can cross to the un. president markram is speaking. translation: markram is speaking. tuna/mom- markram is speaking. translation: , ., we need to make a simple choice basically, that of war or that of peace. on the 24th of february this year, russia, a permanent member of

the security council, through an act of aggression, and invasion, and annexation, broke our collective security. it deliberately violated the un charter and the principle of sovereign equality of states. from the 16th of march, the international court ofjustice declared the russian aggression as illegal and it called for the withdrawal of russia. russia decided by doing so to pave the way for other wars of annexation in europe today and perhaps tomorrow in europe today and perhaps tomorrow in asia or in africa or in latin america. we can say anything we want today, and i hear a lot of discussions, a lot of stances are taken. there is one thing certain,

as i talk to you now there are russian troops in ukraine, and as far as i know there are no ukrainian troops in russia. that is a statement of fact. we all need to understand that. the longer it goes on, the worse and more threatening this war is for europe and the world. it leads us to greater conflict, ongoing conflict, where the security and sovereignty of everyone no longer depends on a balance of strength on the strength of alliances. but rather, groups of militias, those who consider themselves as strong seek to subject or subjugate all those they consider as weak. those, what we've seen since the 24th of february, is a return to the age of imperialism and colonies. france rejects this. france obstinately will look for

peace. our position is clear and we want to serve this. that is why i am engaging in a dialogue with russia and i've done so since the start of the war over these past months and i will continue to head this up. because it is only together we will find peace. a quest for peace with initiatives taken over the months and years before the conflict, since the 24th of february, by the humanitarian military, with the support we are providing to the ukrainian people so that they can enjoy their legitimate right to defend and preserve their sovereignty. the quest for peace by condemning the invasion of a sovereign state and the violation of our collective security principles, war crimes committed by russia in ukraine, and bya war crimes committed by russia in ukraine, and by a refusal of

impunity. internationaljustice must impunity. international justice must establish impunity. internationaljustice must establish the crimes and condemn and try the perpetrators. the quest for peace through our desire to curb geographic expansionism in war and here we undertake to support the efforts of the iaea to prevent the impact of war on the safety and security of nuclear plants as we will do tomorrow beside the ukrainians whose sovereignty and safety is absolutely crucial. we have ensured that and iaea mission went to ukraine, establishing its independent report to prevent the risk of an accident whose consequences would be devastating. we are all aware today, here, that only an agreement that respects international law will enable peace to come back. a negotiation can only

be possible if sovereign lay ukraine wants it and russia accepts it in good faith. we are all aware, as well, that a negotiation will only be successful if ukraine is liberated and it sovereignty is protected. russia must now... see that it can't propose its will militarily. even if there are fake, pretend referendums in territories that have been bombed and are now occupied. it's up to the members of the security council to say this loud and clear and to the members of this assembly to support us on our path to peace. from this podium, i call upon members of the un to act

so that russia rejects the path of war and assesses the cost for itself and for all of us and really brings and for all of us and really brings an end to this act of aggression. we aren't talking about choosing a camp here between the east and the west, either between the north and the south either. what we are talking about is everybody�*s responsibility, everybody who is committed to the respect of the charter, and our most common pressure is committed to the respect of the charter, and our most common precious good, peace. because over and beyond war there is a risk of dividing the world that is at stake here. with the direct and indirect impact of the conflict. i know that many here cherish a feeling of injustice because of economic... studio: that is economic... studio his at is $2” economic... studio his at is an é mincing his words, talking about an act of aggression from russia and annexation in terms of the russian invasion of ——

invasion of ukraine. —— president macron. he also in his macron. he also mentioned in his speech we four of are talking about the four areas of ukraine under moscow's control who have announced plans for urgent so—called referendums onjoining so—called referendums on joining russia, so—called referendums onjoining russia, which would pave the way for russian annexation of those areas. i want to dive a bit deeper into that. joining me now is vitaliy shevchenko, russia editor at bbc monitoringfor months, russian—installed authorities have tried to hold self—styled referendums. there is no doubt what the outcome will be. they will approve petitions to join will be. they will approve petitions tojoin russia will be. they will approve petitions to join russia and will be. they will approve petitions tojoin russia and i really do not think that vladimir putin is going to say no to those. this is what happened eight years ago when russia annexed crimea. its military oversaw

annexed crimea. its military oversaw a vote in that part of ukraine, which resulted in the similar position tojoin russia which resulted in the similar position to join russia and which resulted in the similar position tojoin russia and it which resulted in the similar position to join russia and it was approved. for position to 'oin russia and it was a- roved. ., ., , , position to 'oin russia and it was auroved. ., ., , , ., approved. for months, they have tried to hold _ approved. for months, they have tried to hold referendums, - approved. for months, they have tried to hold referendums, why i approved. for months, they have j tried to hold referendums, why is this happening now? the tried to hold referendums, why is this happening now?— tried to hold referendums, why is this happening now? the timing is interestin: this happening now? the timing is interesting because _ this happening now? the timing is interesting because such - this happening now? the timing is interesting because such sudden l this happening now? the timing is i interesting because such sudden and staged managed moves, they follow ukraine's successful offensive in the kharkiv region, which ukraine has almost completely retaken. it is not unreasonable to think that officials in moscow and their proxies in occupied parts of ukraine might be thinking that by declaring those parts of ukraine to actually be part of russia this might stop ukraine and its western backers from

backing attacks against those areas. also it is symbolically significant because four months russia's campaign has been stalling and russian troops have been retreating in parts of ukraine, as well. this is a huge blow to the kremlin�*s messaging to audiences within russia. if all when these areas ask to join russia. if all when these areas ask tojoin russia, this will be hailed as a huge win for russia and it is something that the kremlin plus macromedia has been desperate for four months. —— kremlin�*s media. what will change? it is four months. -- kremlin's media. what will change?— what will change? it is clear that russia is in _ what will change? it is clear that russia is in control _ what will change? it is clear that russia is in control of _ what will change? it is clear that russia is in control of those - what will change? it is clear that i russia is in control of those areas. little will change in practical terms. it is also important that the

russian lower house of parliament has earlier today approved a bill toughening punishment for crimes committed at a time of general mobilisation, such as desertion and insubordination, which has made a lot of people think about whether the kremlin is preparing a general call up to send russians, more russians, to these parts of ukraine which will be declared part of russia by the kremlin. i have seen a lot of concern and panic in certain parts of social media of russia about that. parts of social media of russia about that-— parts of social media of russia about that. ., ., ~ ., russia's war in ukraine is dominating the united national general assembly of world leaders in new york.

this year's event takes place amid a backdrop of multiple crises. the war in ukraine is in 7th month. globalfood prices are rising. and there are climate change concerns too. the secretary general antonio guterres set the scene with this warning. let's have no illusions. we are in rough seas. a winter of global discontent is on the horizon. a cost—of—living crisis is raging. trust is crumbling. inequalities are exploding. and our planet is burning. people are hurting with the most vulnerable suffering the most. brazil's president was the first national leader to speak at unga. he had this message. translation: we advocate an immediate ceasefire. - the protection of civilians and noncombatants. the preservation of critical infrastructure to assist the population and the maintenance of all channels of dialogue between the parties at conflict. but we do not believe that the best way is to adopt one—sided or unilateral and selective sanctions that are inconsistent with international law.

mr bolsonaro referring there to the sanctions imposed on russia by several western nations. this is the first general assembly since the covid pandemic where participants are expected to speak in person. but one notable exception has been made. ukraine's president, volodymyr zelensky, will address the assembly via a pre—recorded message. china's president xijinping won't be attending — neither is his russian ally president, vladimir putin. going in his place is foreign minister sergei lavrov. while western officials — including the us — have ruled out direct negotiations with him — they say their message will be heard. this is the us ambassador to the un. he will hear for the first time directly from members of the security council, our condemnation, our concerns about their attack, and he will hear a call from all of us to withdraw their troops.

turkey's president recep tayyip erdogan has been playing an active role in trying to mediate between the two countries. he's also been speaking at unga — calling for what he called a �*dignified way out�* of the crisis. translation: the conflict - is escalating and we are investing tremendous efforts in order to ensure the war will be finalised by protecting the territorial integrity and the sovereignty of ukraine once and for all. in an interview with pbs earlier, mr erdogan said he believed russia's leader is seeking an end to the war. in uzbekistan i got together with president putin and we had very extensive discussions with him. he is showing me he is willing to end this as soon as possible. that was my impression because the way things are going right now are quite problematic. 200 hostages will be exchanged upon an agreement between the parties. i think a significant step will be taken forward. let's speak to our correspondent, laura trevelyan who's in new york. the focus of this meeting this time is very

this un general assembly has brought to the fore how polarised the world is right now given what is happening in ukraine and the repercussions of that war. ., v in ukraine and the repercussions of that war. . �*, ., , , that war. that's absolutely right. you saw that _ that war. that's absolutely right. you saw that really _ that war. that's absolutely right. you saw that really exemplified i that war. that's absolutely right. | you saw that really exemplified by the brazilian president. on the one hand he is calling for a ceasefire in ukraine but on the other hand he is saying that the sanctions against russia shouldn't be there because, of course, they are having this knock—on effect in driving up energy prices. the war is driving up the prices. the war is driving up the price of food. what you've heard throughout the day, whether it is the king ofjordan, the president of senegal, you are hearing about how countries all across the world, many thousands of miles away from ukraine, are being affected by this war, and how there are calls for it to come to an end. the question of course is how. find to come to an end. the question of course is how— course is how. and there has been talk hasn't — course is how. and there has been talk hasn't there _ course is how. and there has been talk hasn't there perhaps -

course is how. and there has been talk hasn't there perhaps about. talk hasn't there perhaps about diplomacy, some countries calling for peace through diplomatic roots. is there a feeling, do you think, that something can be achieved during this general assembly, that maybe there could be bilateral talks, may be, between some countries?— talks, may be, between some countries? ., , ., ., , , countries? two things are happening at once. russia _ countries? two things are happening at once. russia is _ countries? two things are happening at once. russia is accelerating - countries? two things are happening at once. russia is accelerating its - at once. russia is accelerating its positions in the face of these setbacks in the actual war against ukraine. you have these referenda that have suddenly been called for a few days' time in those bits of territory in ukraine taken by russia in those russian backed separatist regions. you have the referenda, the security adviser saying there is talk of a mobilisation in russia, a suggestion that president putin will intensify the war because if as a result of these referenda, being called fake by many, he says russia is in control of these territories, then any action against those territories by ukraine could be deemed as a war. you have that going

on. a potential acceleration. diplomatically you have the turkish president who spoke here and cast himself very much as a mediator. he talked about how they needed to be a diplomatic solution to that. he said we need a dignified way out of this crisis. he talked about the role turkey had played in brokering that deal to get the grain out of those blockaded ukrainian ports. lots happening and no clear idea as to how this leads to a peaceful solution. ., , how this leads to a peaceful solution. . , . among the leaders gathered in new york for the un general assembly, liz truss is looking to make the most of her first foreign visit since becoming uk prime minister. but domestic policy issues followed her all the way to america. here she is speaking to our political editor chris mason. lots of families at the moment are really struggling and they will see all of the things you are happy to see happen, for bankers to get bigger bonuses, whose side are you on? what i want to see is a growing economy, so everybody in our country

has the higher paid jobs that they deserve, the investment into their town, the new businesses being setup. that's the kind of britain that i want to see and that means. and if that means the rich get richer, that's fine? and if that means taking difficult decisions, which are going to help britain become more competitive, help britain become more attractive, help more investment flow into our country, yes, i'm absolutely prepared to take those decisions. you are willing to do unpopular things if you think it can contribute to a bigger economy? that's right. i will always work to make sure that we are helping those who are struggling. that's why we took the action that we took on energy bills because we didn't want to see households facing unaffordable bills. on foreign policy, liz truss will use her speech at the un to rally support for ukraine. as she prepared

to fly to new york she said ukraine's victories in recent weeks had been inspirational and she pledged to spend at least £2.3 billion next year on military aid to help kyiv fend off the russian invasion. we are making sure we back the ukrainians and i'm determined to make sure we back them for the long haul because we cannot see russia succeed. we also need to make sure we are more energy independent and we are less dependent on those authoritarian regimes. so it is about economic growth but it is also about economic security and what i'm going to be doing over the coming days is talking to our allies about how we can deepen those ties with each other so we can work together to make sure we have that security. a highlight on her agenda is a meeting withjoe biden on wednesday. some called it an attempt to reset the special relationship but we already know it won't discuss free trade. liz truss made it clear before leaving for america that a

deal on that won't happen for some time. our globaltrade deal on that won't happen for some time. our global trade corresponding joins me now. realistically nobody expected these talks to resume this soon, so why is liz truss talking about this now?— about this now? this is a really fascinating _ about this now? this is a really fascinating point, _ about this now? this is a really fascinating point, isn't- about this now? this is a really fascinating point, isn't it? - about this now? this is a really fascinating point, isn't it? cast| fascinating point, isn't it? cast your mind back and you will remember that a trade deal with the us was one of the uk's key post—brexit goals but under the biden administration it's become very clear that's not an american priority and politicians on this side of the water have acknowledged that, including liz truss, admitting that, including liz truss, admitting that several times the us had other goals and other priorities and it was unlikely to happen. here we are, having her make that explicit on the plane to new york. it is fascinating because on the one hand she was trying to get in there first before president biden brings this up and frankly say this is the uk's choice, but there is another issue here. do

not forget that liz truss and her government are looking to override the northern ireland protocol. the arrangements of post—brexit trading on the island of ireland. the us isn't in favour of that. she is saying, you don't have this to wield at us as a weapon, almost a threat that you could perhaps not return to the negotiating table because, frankly, we aren't interested. we know that president biden�*s previous boss president obama, said when it comes to trade deals the uk would be back. nobody was expecting this deal to happen anytime soon and as we know president obama was not a fan of brexit. she know president obama was not a fan of brexit. ,, . ~ know president obama was not a fan of brexit. ,, ., ~ ., ,., of brexit. she talked about turbo-charging _ of brexit. she talked about turbo-charging economic l of brexit. she talked about - turbo-charging economic growth in turbo—charging economic growth in the uk. she she's not really convinced many economists about this plan, has she? this convinced many economists about this pian. has she?— convinced many economists about this plan. has she?— plan, has she? this is fascinating aaain. plan, has she? this is fascinating again- nobody — plan, has she? this is fascinating again. nobody is _ plan, has she? this is fascinating again. nobody is disputing - plan, has she? this is fascinating again. nobody is disputing the i plan, has she? this is fascinating l again. nobody is disputing the fact the uk needs to turbo—charge growth but everyone is disputing exactly how this can happen because liz

truss's so—called bold plan centres on cutting taxes. more on that later this week. many economists argue that cutting corporation tax isn't proven to raise investment. that's what you will need to see longer term prosperity increasing in the uk. also on the cards is reductions in rates of personal taxation, national insurance rates. the argument there is that that benefits the rich and she said in the past thatis the rich and she said in the past that is fair to her because ultimately she argues the poor will benefit from that. so called trickle down economics. we've not had the likes of that in the uk since the 19805 and margaret thatcher. many are wondering whether that will be successful. president biden has tweeted today that he is sick and tired of trickle—down economics, it has never worked. those meetings are going to be very interesting. the? going to be very interesting. they are indeed- _ going to be very interesting. they are indeed. thanks _ going to be very interesting. they are indeed. thanks very much. join us in a few minutes, plenty more to

come on outside source. today we have seen temperatures around 19 degrees. tomorrow could be warmer. today has brought a mixture of sunshine and cloud, the best of the sunshine has been around coastal areas for many inland parts we've seen the cloud building up through the dayjust a little bit of sunshine coming through now and again. a lot of that cloud we've seen developing over land will break up seen developing over land will break up this evening and overnight. we will find clear spells developing. towards the north—west of scotland, this is where we will see the clouds thickening and some rain pushing in. otherwise, dry overnight, chilly by morning, temperatures could be lower than these in rural areas and we could start the day with mist and fog in the south—east of england. a

brighter start with more sunshine in the morning. the sunshine will be limited in the afternoon. thick cloud bringing further rain into the north—west of scotland. a southerly breeze is notching up a couple of degrees. that will lift the temperatures to 21 degrees. in the moray firth, 21. bit of warmth for this time of the year. later in the week with that rain in the north—west, that will push south—eastwards. that will then introduce cooler air. this is the weather front bringing that rain. it's moving slowly south—eastwards. could be some steady and heavy rain in western scotland on wednesday night into thursday morning. that band of rain should move away from scotland and northern ireland. we will take some steady rain into the north of england and into wales. ahead of that, the same air mass, some sunshine, increasing cloud, quite warm, temperatures around 21 celsius. following the rain, late sunshine for much of scotland and

northern ireland. the air is cooling down here because the wind direction is changing. we will get a more north—westerly breeze around this area of high pressure which brings with it cooler air following on from that weather front which is bringing the rain. that rain continues south—eastwards across england and wales. coming to rest over east anglia and the south—east. other parts of england and wales seeing some sunshine and a few showers but northern ireland and scotland. it's not windy but it is a cooler direction the wind is coming from, so it'll be cooler on friday with temperatures typically 16 or 17 celsius.

this cricket match in to something thatis this cricket match in to something that is for the city, very disturbing indeed. today — leaders from the hindu and muslim communities issued a joint statement urging "the inciters of hatred" to stop the "provocation and violence — both in thought and behaviour. "leicester has no place for any foreign extremist ideology that causes division,". next lets hear from the federation of muslim organisations. there has been posters we've seen of people saying let's all congregate and go to leicesterfrom both sections. this is not helping anybody in this is escalating the tension and every time you feel something is calming down, there's an eruption again. with me from leicester is bbc asian network presenter, ankur desai. talk us through what's going on because there are many things being put forward by both sides. t because there are many things being put forward by both sides.— put forward by both sides. i think that's where _ put forward by both sides. i think that's where we're _ put forward by both sides. i think that's where we're seeing - put forward by both sides. i think that's where we're seeing the i that's where we're seeing the challenges and tensions because it seems as though there's a lot of

people of the communities of said that the speeches have been sprayed on social media for a number of weeks prior to that and that is the worry that is because they touched upon it today but they said that there is news here for outside foreign agendas which i think was infiltrating some communities here and the concern is how that is been able to infiltrate but also spread quite quickly in the worry is that if this does start to spread then we could see were intentions across the country as well and that is something that they want to get a grip on having better relationships with the police and better relationships than their own communities and also from the hindu and muslim communities and also engage with the younger youth and also looking at them in a disenfranchised way in the messages may not be filtering through. hind may not be filtering through. and increased pressure in the world.

we've seen quite a few and i think the concern is that of the st continue in greater numbers that it's going to be quite difficult for the resourcing that they have at the moment and there's also been attacks in various people saying the police could do a lot more when a lot is taking place in certain areas in the can do more to stop the provocation and that is been the challenge and local businesses have been worried about closing their shops a lot earlier in the cost—of—living crisis is taking place right now and they cannot afford to close earlier and there were to go over the young children and members of the family because they could get caught up in some violence in the hope that it doesn't escalate any further. tt is doesn't escalate any further. it is aood to doesn't escalate any further. it is good to talk _ doesn't escalate any further. it is good to talk to _ doesn't escalate any further. it is good to talk to you. _ doesn't escalate any further. it is good to talk to you. thank you so much. a powerful typhoon has struck japan — killing at least four people. the storm — typhoon nanmadol — made landfall near kagoshima city —

bringing violent winds and torrential rains. this is miyazaki prefecture. some towns here saw over 1,000 millimetres of rain. mudslides are blocking a number of roads. the damage left by the storm meant japanese prime minister fumio kishida delayed his visit to the un general assembly. our correspondent rupert wingfield—hayes breaks down of the scale of severity of what japan has been facing. for the last three days, it really has been a monster, monster storm. the likes of which japan is rarely seen only a handful of times a storm of the sites in the last half—century and it has hit the southern kyushu islands on sunday and it is just churn the whole of japan. the typhoon has now been downgraded — howeverjapan�*s meterological agency has issued warnings of possible flood surges in these

yellow coastal regions. in total, over 8m people have been told leave their homes much of the damage is centred on the southern island of kyushu, where hundreds of thousands of homes are still without power. so far, 4 people have died. and at least 114 are injured. the world meterological organisation says the low number of casualties is down to japan's early warning system that others can learn from. we are expecting more and more of these events will take place over time and being able to prevent life and property loss, will be able to encourage you to develop early warning systems much like what japan has done to practice. let's move from japan — to the carribean — where another hurricane is causing huge destruction as it sweeps through the region. fiona — a category three storm —

has made landfall in the dominican republic at 3:30 am local time. these images show the severity of the water surges in ee—gooay — in dominican republic. the president has declared disaster zones in three eastern provinces we declared the areas as disaster areas. as far as we've been able to ascertain. although the emergency decree also includes other areas. we have to assess the damage which may also be declared a disaster area. hurricane fiona already caused huge damage to puerto rico — knocking out the island's entire electricity supply. this image shows lights at night across puerto rico and dominican republic on the the 3rd of september this was after both islands were struck. as you can see — the islands are in total blackout. we're told around 1.1m or 80% of puerto rico was left without power. lets hear from those on the ground.

island is been the most affected by the hurricane and massive flooding has made thousands of people lose their homes and emergencies are still happening as we speak and the exit of hurricane fiona was very slow and it has kept brains going on the islands in that is still affecting the operations of this time but the most important thing right now is that people, we still have communications given the powers out throughout most of the island which is facilitating the response and this is very different from hurricane maria were all the island was this we are hopeful by the next few days, things are going to be better and responsible add at this time. find responsible add at this time. and it's a very serious _

responsible add at this time. and it's a very serious case, isn't it? at this time, with the passing of the hurricane, a lot of hospitals were operating on emergency generators which is not the optimal state from the hospital to operate at and some hospitals i've regained electric energy but as mentioned at the beginning, 80% of the islands still have no electric power and at this time, the governor said that they do expect that by this week, so majority of the island should have regained access to electricity and we still do not know how certain or true that it will be because especially hurricane maria took months to reestablish the energy to the entire island and so, it is a difficult situation and we do not really have very clear numbers of what is been going on and we do know some technicians have come out from outside the united states to help

fix the electric grid but we do know that the operation does take time and that we have suffered immensely from hurricane maria and there is a very complex grid with very difficult access to some parts and it may take more than a month for the entire island have electricity again. the entire island have electricity aaain. �* , the entire island have electricity a.ain_ �* , , the entire island have electricity aaain. , , , again. and sadly, this is the anniversary _ again. and sadly, this is the anniversary of— again. and sadly, this is the anniversary of hurricane i again. and sadly, this is the i anniversary of hurricane maria. do you think there is a feeling now that the money, the recovery fund was spent on the right things prepares you for another hurricane situation though you may find yourself in now?— situation though you may find yourself in now? one of the most common comments _ yourself in now? one of the most common comments we _ yourself in now? one of the most common comments we have i yourself in now? one of the most| common comments we have seen yourself in now? one of the most i common comments we have seen in these past few days is there is a general feeling of what did the government dude during the past five years in the recovery process and these last five years should have been used to fortify our electrical

grid and prepare for any upcoming event of this type, we are in the caribbean, we note that these events will continue to happen and we have to do whatever is possible for us to mitigate. that mitigation did not happen. and so, he took no one by surprise when powerjust completely went away hours before fiona made landfall on the island and so, yeah. that is the general feeling at this time that the bureaucracy has been very, has made everything difficult after the passing of maria and so, recovery has been extremely slow. just unacceptably slow. tt is recovery has been extremely slow. just unacceptably slow.— just unacceptably slow. it is been so aood just unacceptably slow. it is been so good devey — just unacceptably slow. it is been so good devey on _ just unacceptably slow. it is been so good devey on the _ just unacceptably slow. it is been | so good devey on the programme just unacceptably slow. it is been i so good devey on the programme and thank you for taking the time to speak to us. stay with us on outside source — still to come. adnan syed— whose case was featured in the true crime podcast serial — is released into house arrest,

after an american judge overturns his conviction for murder the parents of madeleine mccann — the british girl who went missing fifteen years ago while on a family holiday in portugal — have lost the latest stage of their legal battle over claims made by a retired portuguese detective. goncalo amaral had claimed that they were involved in their daughter's disappearance. her body has never been found, and no—one has ever been charged in connection with the case. kate and gerry mccann had asked the european court of human rights to rule that the portuguese authorities had breached their right to a private family life, when they brought — and lost — libel proceedings against mr amaral. the judges ruled their reputation had been damaged when they were made official suspects for a short time, rather than by his comments.with the details — here's our europe correspondentjessica parker. this kicks can turn tagamet concerns comments made by former police detectives. and he alleged the

involvement of this in their daughter's disappearance and the couple took civil action in portugal, the portuguese courts dismissed the case so, the couple went with the reputational damage and they set the portuguese court breached their rights to be presumed innocent. the judge found against the couple today and said that any reputational damage suffered by them was not really as a result of the book, for example. but by the fact that they were briefly placed under police investigation. of course they were removed as suspects in 2008 by the judge found the portuguese courts had not implied guilt now the mccann have the chance to appeal this case and a man is only serving a sentence

for separate offences has remained a suspect and he has denied involvement. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is? four occupied regions of ukraine have called a vote this week onjoining russia, prompting immediate international condemnation. health officials in pakistan have told the bbc they've seen an increase in waterborne diseases, in the wake of the devastating floods — that saw a third of the country submerged. the head of the world health organisation warned of a double disaster if more isn't done to help the country. our south asia correspondent rajini vaidyanathan reports.

get proper treatment. she has had diarrhoea and she has a fever all over her body. almost everyone on this ward has fled from the floods, and almost every patient here is young. and this child, this patient, this is our five—year—old female child. as doctor ashfaq explains, living in the open has left thousands even more vulnerable, displaced and in distress. all of this surrounding water, there are so many mosquitoes. not only this malaria but they are spreading dengue as well. we have too much burden now of these malaria cases. and now we have malaria treatment only for three days. pakistan's health care system is struggling to cope with an influx of waterborne diseases. a country already ravaged by the floods is now facing a medical emergency. and even when these patients recover, many don't have a home to go to.

than twenty years ago. our north america correspondent, david willis reports. through our review, the original prosecutors and the subsequent prosecutors and the subsequent prosecutors and the attorney generals office failed to disclose relevant information about alternative suspects. one of whom threatened to kill the victim and had motive to kill the victim and both of whom had a pattern of violence against women. he both of whom had a pattern of violence against women. he has been laced violence against women. he has been placed under— violence against women. he has been placed under house _ violence against women. he has been placed under house arrest _ violence against women. he has been placed under house arrest and - placed under house arrest and prosecute of 30 days to decide whether or not he should be traded again or whether to drop the charges. in washington, dc. let's hear from washington dc and susan simpson. she is a crime podcaster and lawyer whose investigations, alongside those of serial, uncovered some of the vital new evidence cited in the adnan syed case. let me ask you, how much of this has

to deal with the serial podcast? t to deal with the serial podcast? 1 would have to say that serial to deal with the serial podcast? t would have to say that serial was the start of this, without it, people would've forgotten about this. people got to hear about his case what happened in baltimore and all kinds of people got involved in all kinds of people got involved in all kinds of resources that were not previously available became available and it led to a years long effort to show that he was innocent and the prosecutors office,. ihshd effort to show that he was innocent and the prosecutors office,. and you also not and the prosecutors office,. and you also got involved, _ and the prosecutors office,. and you also got involved, not _ and the prosecutors office,. and you also got involved, not in _ and the prosecutors office,. and you also got involved, not in terms i and the prosecutors office,. and you also got involved, not in terms of. also got involved, not in terms of as a lawyer but in terms of investigating this case for your own podcast and tell me, how you got involved in what was it you discovered in the process? t listened like everybody else and i was really caught by some the issues in the case that seems not entirely

answered. and i wanted to know more, so start digging into it and then edited meeting the family friend who brought the case here in the first place and along with collin miller in south carolina and we started our own podcast, undisclosed, but we wind toward investigation we discovered the evidence that not previously been revealed on the big issues that we heard from the case was the linchpin of the case. the cell phone evidence that proved that he had been in certain locations of the murder and connected them to her death. however, that data is not reliable and the cell phone that he used said that this data should not be used in the way it was to prove location. it does not show her the phone was or that he was at the murder sites like the prosecution argued that the trial and it is

critical because in the states case relied on their star witness, who, if you listen to the podcast, you know it would not be anyone's first choice as a star witness. he is to what a dozen different stories it has never been able to tell the same story twice, really. ts has never been able to tell the same story twice, really.— story twice, really. is important to make people _ story twice, really. is important to make people understand - story twice, really. is important to make people understand that i story twice, really. is important to make people understand that he l story twice, really. is important to| make people understand that he is not a free man and they could still be another trial, what you think given what you know will happen next. do you think prosecutors will push this again? t next. do you think prosecutors will push this again?— push this again? i think it is unlikely that _ push this again? i think it is unlikely that syed _ push this again? i think it is unlikely that syed will i push this again? i think it is unlikely that syed will be i push this again? i think it is| unlikely that syed will be on push this again? i think it is i unlikely that syed will be on trial again. this was a prosecutors office that decided to take another look at the case and since he came out, they looked at things like finding witnesses who initially told police that the that they saw him on the day of the murder and we now know did not. school records found the they had faulty memories. and looking at the files, this result of the prosecutors, the conviction was

unsound. but they determined was that they can no longer stand by this verdict. they can no longer say with confidence that this was a sound constitutional conviction and therefore, they are asking the court and that leaves the possibility that the could adnan take him to trial. and not with what evidence in his innocence that was previously kept from him. so, that is on the table and i do not believe there is a likely outcome in this case and the prosecution is also told the police to reopen the investigation and particularly, they decided on their motion. two other suspects who were in this investigation. taste motion. two other suspects who were in this investigation.— in this investigation. we are . rateful in this investigation. we are grateful to _ in this investigation. we are grateful to you _ in this investigation. we are grateful to you for - in this investigation. we are grateful to you for speaking | in this investigation. we are i grateful to you for speaking to us on outside source. if you want more analysis from outside source a good place to find it is on twitter — i'm @bbcmaryam.

follow me, you'll see all of our videos, they're usually quite short with lots packed in. we're posting new material all the time. hello there. today, we have seen temperatures around 19 degrees. tomorrow could be a little bit warmer. today has brought a mixture of sunshine and cloud, perhaps the best of sunshine has been around coastal areas for many inland parts. we have seen the cloud building up to the day with just a little bit of sunshine coming through now and again. but a lot of that cloud that we have seen developing over land will break up this evening and overnight, we could find some clearer spells developing. but towards the northwest of scotland, this is where we will see the cloud thickening and some rain beginning to push in. otherwise, dry overnight. it will be a bit chilly by morning with temperatures could be lower than these in rural areas and we could start the day with some mist and fog in the southeast of england. but on the whole, brightest

here with more sunshine more brightly in the morning. but again, we'll see the cloud increasing, building up over land and limiting the sunshine during the afternoon and we've got that thicker cloud brings in for the rain into the northwest of scotland. we've also got a southerly breeze beginning to just notched up a degree or two. and that will quicken the temperatures to 21 degrees in the murray firth. also 21 in east anglia in the southeast. so, bit of warmth for this time of year. they during the week with that rain in the northwest, it will push its way south eastwards and that will then introduce cooler air. this is the weather from bringing that rain and it is moving slowly southeastward. it could be some steady and quite heavy rain in western scotland into thursday morning. that band of rain will continue to scotland and northern ireland and we will take some steady rain into the north of england and wales. ahead of that, still the same air mass, some sunshine, increasing cloud, quite warm with temperatures up to 20 or 21 degrees and following the rain,

some late sunshine across scotland and northern ireland. the air is cooling down because the wind direction changing and pushing away a southerly breeze and replacing it with more of a northwesterly breeze on this big area of high pressure and that brings with this cooler air following from that weather front which is bringing the rain. and that rain continued to run southeastwards across england and wales coming to rest request is anglia and the southeast end other parts of england and will sing some sunshine and some sunshine and if few showers for scotland and northern ireland, as well. it's not windy but it is a cooler direction the wind is coming from so, it will be cooler on friday with temperatures typically 16 or 17 celsius.
