hello and welcome to bbc news. the former us president donald trump says he expects to be arrested on tuesday and has called on supporters to protest. and a post on his own social media platform he claimed to have seen leaks from the manhattan district attorney's offers which is yet to comment. mr trump is accused of bank hush money to an alleged mistress. americans have been reacting to the latest development. imean i mean this isjust beyond ridiculous at this point. you can go after him and the outcome will all be the same, and it is only going to incite more people to come out and support, 0k? and that is what it is about, the more people we have two show everybody —

doesn't matter — we're still going to support him and he is going to support him and he is going to support him and he is going to run and he is going to win. it has been going since january and it— it has been going since january and it is— it has been going since january and it isjust horrendous, our constitution has been blown to bits _ bits. yeah, it bits. — yeah, it seems like if he does -et yeah, it seems like if he does get indicted _ yeah, it seems like if he does get indicted it— yeah, it seems like if he does get indicted it went _ yeah, it seems like if he does get indicted it went really- get indicted it went really changed _ get indicted it went really changed too— get indicted it went really changed too much. - get indicted it went really changed too much. i- get indicted it went really| changed too much. i think get indicted it went really. changed too much. i think it will— changed too much. i think it will probably— changed too much. i think it will probably charge - changed too much. i think it will probably charge and - will probably charge and probably— will probably charge and probably amplify - will probably charge and probably amplify his - will probably charge and i probably amplify his face, given— probably amplify his face, given that _ probably amplify his face, given that he _ probably amplify his face, given that he is _ probably amplify his face, given that he is running. i given that he is running. i given that he is running. ithink— given that he is running. i think it _ given that he is running. i think it is _ given that he is running. i think it is a _ given that he is running. i think it is a great - given that he is running. i think it is a great thing | i think it is a great thing that donald trump will get arrested. well, he has committed so many crimes— well, he has committed so many crimes and — well, he has committed so many crimes and nobody has got —— prosecuted him enough, yet, i will prosecuted him enough, yet, i wiii took— prosecuted him enough, yet, i will look forward to seeing justice _ will look forward to seeing justice be done. the views of americans they are but as of yet no confirmation of former president will be arrested. a washington correspondent gary o'donoghue has adopted. we have had some indications, clear indications for tom—tom that the district of manhattan in new york was thinking about

or possibly thinking about charging donald trump, they gave him the opportunity to appear before the grand jury, thatis appear before the grand jury, that is often a precursor to an indictment coming down against someone so there has been a number of key and is in the last couple of weeks and this is all coming to a head because we understand that the grand jury we understand that the grand jury which investigates these things is perhaps seeing its last witness on monday, and so there is some calculation going on here. donald trump believes that this is going to happen at some point next week, there is a lot of people who think that may be true. the new york police department we understand is preparing encase there is some sort of circus, some sort of spectacle around a quarter so there are some indications that this could be on the books but, you are right, there is nothing official from the district attorney that this going to happen on time x, dave y. let's discuss the legal issues by speaking to a formal —— former prosecutor. hejoins is

not from los angeles. good evening, thank you forjoining. thank you for having me. donald trump certainly _ thank you for having me. donald trump certainly seems _ thank you for having me. donald trump certainly seems to - thank you for having me. donald trump certainly seems to expect j trump certainly seems to expect to be arrested, how likely do you think it is? i to be arrested, how likely do you think it is?— you think it is? i think it is very likely _ you think it is? i think it is very likely because - you think it is? i think it is very likely because we're. you think it is? i think it is - very likely because we're about new york law and new york is unique and requires a criminal to permit the opportunity to appear and testify before a grand jury, appear and testify before a grandjury, of appear and testify before a grand jury, of course donald trump said no but that opportunity was provided, the last of all the witnesses that is going to be grand jury dominic, of course the links that are coming out of the office — ifully expect that are coming out of the office — i fully expect the manhattan district attorney to indict donald trump sometime this week. . indict donald trump sometime this week-— this week. donald trump has previously — this week. donald trump has previously admitted - this week. donald trump has previously admitted making l this week. donald trump has i previously admitted making this payment to stormy daniel so what are his avenues of defence? i what are his avenues of defence?— what are his avenues of defence? , . ., , defence? i expect donald trump to ursue defence? i expect donald trump to pursue one — defence? i expect donald trump to pursue one of— defence? i expect donald trump to pursue one of two _ to pursue one of two offensives, he will either argue that michael coggan is around trying to get his revenge or he is going to pull the defence that these payments were to protect his wife and his family and he had nothing

to do with the 2016 election. that would actually be a legal defence because the prosecution has to prove the false documents were related to some other crime and member beds prosecuted cohen base at inaudible and cohen being his personal lawyer who gave the payment initially to stormy daniels before being compensated. he is going to play an important part in this, isn't he? explain that. fit important part in this, isn't he? explain that. of course, he is absolutely — he? explain that. of course, he is absolutely the _ he? explain that. of course, he is absolutely the critical - is absolutely the critical winners because he paid the $130,000 in hush money to stormy daniels and donald trump later admitted to reimbursing it, and so he will be the prosecution's star witness. edi prosecution's star witness. of course, prosecution's star witness. of course, this isn't the only potential legal proceeding that donald trump is facing so why this one at why now? prosecution requires two things — evidence and a prosecutor willing to take on the most politically charged prosecution in american history. we have

seen so far whether it is the capitol riots although documents are barilaro they hoban prosecutors in the united states i don't have the stomach, they don't have the fortitude to take on the former president and it at least appears right now that the manhattan district attorney is going to take the unprecedented step of charging a former president. we are really witnessing american history right now. witnessing american history right nova— witnessing american history right now. what difference if an do right now. what difference if any do you _ right now. what difference if any do you think _ right now. what difference if any do you think donald - right now. what difference if - any do you think donald trump's announcement that he will be arrested will make to this legal proceeding? it arrested will make to this legal proceeding? it won't affect the _ legal proceeding? it won't affect the legal _ legal proceeding? it won't affect the legal case - legal proceeding? it won't affect the legal case but i legal proceeding? it won't affect the legal case but it will certainly rally his base at we know there are trump supporters that will believe in the former president no matter whether he is indicted, arrested, even convicted, so thatis arrested, even convicted, so that is more of a political play than a legal one. thank ou play than a legal one. thank you very _ play than a legal one. thank you very much _ play than a legal one. thank you very much for _ play than a legal one. thank you very much for your- play than a legal one. thank| you very much for your time. president putin has flown to crimea and ukraine to mark nine years since the region was illegally annexed by russia. he has been accused of war crimes

by the international criminal court, specifically the forced deportation of children from ukraine to russia. efforts continue in ukraine to bring home children who have gone missing since the invasion. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james lundell reports. vladimir putin today in sevastopol, there to open an arts centre and mark the anniversary of russia's illegal annexation of crimea, one place you can still visit without risk of a rest after international prosecutors accused him of war crimes. the united states may not accept the jurisdiction of the international criminal court by president biden welcomed its decision nonetheless. well, i think it is justified but the question is not recognised internationally by as either, but i think it makes as either, but i think it makes a very strong point. it is clearly committing a war crime. the allegations are that mr burdon has personal, criminal

responsibility for deporting children from occupied parts of ukraine to russia. according to this lawyer, potentially as many as 700,000 children — yes, 700,000 - many as 700,000 children — yes, 700,000 — were taken and only a fraction happen brought home. she welcomed the court decision but... it she welcomed the court decision but... , ., , , but... it is only the first ste -. but... it is only the first step- our _ but... it is only the first step. our next - but... it is only the first step. our next step - but... it is only the first. step. our next step should but... it is only the first - step. our next step should be returning back all ukrainian children from russia or duration in ukraine, notjust for the reason to reunite them, reunite them with families but in order to receive more as possible evidence and testimony from them, direct. in possible evidence and testimony from them, direct.— from them, direct. in gifted day people _ from them, direct. in gifted day people tell _ from them, direct. in gifted day people tell me - from them, direct. in gifted day people tell me the - from them, direct. in gifted | day people tell me the core's decision and that the world knew about russia's alleged war crimes. what is your reaction? go back i am happy about it because it isjustice, go back i am happy about it because it is justice, justice will come. extremely happy, why? because we were — extremely happy, why? because we were expecting this for more than _ we were expecting this for more than one — we were expecting this for more than one year. because definitely vladimir putin is

crime _ definitely vladimir putin is crime person. at— crime person. at home, vladimir putin is honoured as a head of state, and abroad he is now a wanted war criminal. the kremlin projects is back rejects the allegations but his isolation has deepened. a deal brokered by the un and turkey along the ukrainian grain from the black sea has been renewed hours before it was due to expire. kyiv says the agreement will continue for four months while moscow claimed it agreed to just 60 days. the green initiative was first brokered lastjuly during fears of a global food crisis after moscow blockaded ukrainian ports. russia and ukrainejointly account for ukraine jointly account for nearly one ukrainejointly account for nearly one third of global wheat supplies with ukraine's contribution nearing 10%. imogen fox is the latest from geneva. the negotiations to extend the screens deal really went right down to the wire and the

agreement was due to expire today, but now we have had a statement from the united nations saying, "yes, the deal could be extended," but immediately that statement came out and there was more confusion. ukraine said, great, it has been extended for 120 days, what we asked war, kind of hinting that they got what they wanted. russia then hit back saying number, we have told our partners in the black sea gradual that the tasman extended for the 60 days that we said almost a week ago that we said almost a week ago that we were prepared to accept. so i think we can safely say grain can still be exported from the black sea but we don't know for how long, and let's not forget this is a very, very important dealforfood insecure deal for food insecure countries in dealforfood insecure countries in the horn of africa, somalia for example, successive drought is supposed to be on the verge of famine —

it relies on world food programme often buys in ukraine. then we have, for example yemen, afghanistan in the midst of humanitarian crisis. they are also food insecure and we have seen a rise in global food insecure and we have seen a rise in globalfood prices, and any disruption to the grain supply will push those rises up again. to supply will push those rises up aaain. ., , . supply will push those rises up a.ain_ ., , ., ., supply will push those rises up aaain. ., ,., ., ,., , again. to israel and protest towards the _ again. to israel and protest towards the government. again. to israel and protest. towards the government plans again. to israel and protest- towards the government plans to curb the supreme court's powers have entered the 11th me. tens of thousands of israelis have taken part in more nationwide demonstrations. 0pponents taken part in more nationwide demonstrations. opponents of the planned reforms have accused the prime minister benjamin netanyahu was on trial of corruption charges are trying to use the reforms to quash portablejudgements against him. he has rejected the accusation. here are the views of some protesters on the streets of tel aviv. i think we need to fight now because this is the money time,

this is the zero moment that we should do everything we can to stop this rules. no matter what it takes, no ntatter— no matter what it takes, no matter what effort, no matter what — matter what effort, no matter what we — matter what effort, no matter what we need we will fight for our life. — what we need we will fight for our life, for our children's life — life. that's big life. - that's big to a life. — that's big to a professor of israel studies at ucla who joins me now from los angeles. —— lets speak to a professor. 11 weeks into protest, we heard from some of the protesters, what are the main points? first and foremost _ what are the main points? first and foremost to _ what are the main points? first and foremost to stop _ what are the main points? first and foremost to stop this - and foremost to stop this legislative bridge that the government has introduced — the so—called judicial reform package. they want to stop that and ultimately to prevent any sort of change to the israeli judiciary, but i think some protesters might at least be able to accept some compromise but first it is to freeze the legislative process.-

but first it is to freeze the legislative process. what are their fears — legislative process. what are their fears about _ legislative process. what are their fears about the - legislative process. what are their fears about the judicial| their fears about the judicial reforms, especially with regard to the supreme court? it is to the supreme court? it is important _ to the supreme court? it is important to _ to the supreme court? it is important to recognise - to the supreme court? it 3 important to recognise it's not just about protecting the independence and the power of the supreme court — there is a broader concern about israeli democracy, a fear that if you really weaken the supreme court and politicise the judicial appointments process you are basically giving all power to the government, to far—right government. beyond that there is a concern, really, what this government might do with that power. well it further weaken democracy? will it move israel towards becoming a theocracy? is there any sign of the israeli government budging? very little, there was an opportunity earlier in the week when the president proposed a kind of compromised package but the government immediately shot that down and i think in many ways prime minister netanyahu himself may want to stop this, may want to find some sort of compromise but he is really hemmed in by hardliners in his

own party and particularly by the coalition partners. in many ways you can't stop this process and i thank the government will try to continue to push through this judicial overhaul as quickly as possible. overhaul as quickly as possible-— overhaul as quickly as ossible. ., ., ,, ., possible. you talk about the hardliners — possible. you talk about the hardliners and _ possible. you talk about the hardliners and netanyahu'sl hardliners and netanyahu's government, how hardline are we talking here?— talking here? well, very hard line in terms _ talking here? well, very hard line in terms of— talking here? well, very hard line in terms of what - talking here? well, very hard line in terms of what they - line in terms of what they would like to do, not only as i said to introduce more stringent religious laws on israel's population but particularly his far—right coalition partners — the grand design is for israel to formally annex the west bank without giving palestinian residents of citizenship or equal rights. so the removing of the supreme court as an obstacle to that plan is really a central part of their agenda. 11 weeks into protest, no sign of budging so what do you think happens next? unfortunately happens next? u nfortu nately i happens next? unfortunately i think we are going to see more protests in the protest themselves really

intensifying in terms of tactics, the disruption and attempt to really cause massive disruption across the country. one of the concerning developments of the past few days have been counter protests, using violence, so thatis protests, using violence, so that is something really to be particularly on a for and i think the broader concern is if the government does succeed in passing these proposals the supreme court itself might veto them, might override them and israel may be an and unprecedented constitutional crisis. well, that is a lot to consider. thank you for your time. my thank you for your time. my pleasure, thank you. you are watching bbc news, the headline tonight — donald trump says he expects to be arrested on tuesday and has supported his supporters to protest. his attorney says there is no communication from law enforcement. —— mass protests. the u has announced a agreement when serbia and kosovo on how

the crowd and traffic built, and amongst them we found mr khan, adamant that the authorities' only intention is to jail him. putting in prison means that they will keep me out of the election race right until the end of the elections, so i won't be able to campaign — that is the whole thing. 0pponents say this has nothing to do with politics, but is mr khan whipping up his supporters, making them into a human shield for him to avoid the law. the authorities blocked roads into the capital and the court with shipping containers and banned rallies, but supporters still came. this is the aftermath. imran khan may well have left this courtroom but the police are still here, and you can still see the sticks and stones on the ground and you can smell the tear gas that has been used. and the real concern after today is that this is not the end of tensions between the authorities and imran khan's supporters. the months of battles in the courts are now spilling into pakistan's streets, with neither side conceding ground. caroline davies,

there are many provisos. the first is what we just recently and exclusively reported, that is ubs is seeking $6 billion in government guarantees in order to do a deal. there's a lot of risk around this deal in terms of credit suisse's troubles. what we understand is the governments and parties from both companies are trying to hammer out some of the terms here, and ubs is i think driving quite a hard bargain because there are lots of risk to the company and many employees that may need to be laid off as well as litigation risk against credit suisse. there's a lot still happening. it's a fluid situation and there's no guarantee of a deal at all right now. this situation can change entirely, so we are following this very closely. so, large transactions in banking are very complex. they are very thorny and they require a lot of regulatory oversight.

on top of which they require a lot of deal—making between the two companies. it's not usually this quick, but at the same time we are facing unusual and extraordinary times in the banking industry. where two national champions in switzerland are looking at a potential deal to merge. this is a moment where authorities and companies will get creative, as we have seen in the us financial crisis in 2008, the normal rules do not apply here. the chief executive of the scottish national party has resigned with immediate effect. tomorrow is married to the outgoing first minister nicola sturgeon. the move comes after a week of chaos in the snp. james cook reports. it's a partnership forged in politics. nicola sturgeon and peter murrell met through the snp and went on to dominate it. but her decision to quit, along with a police investigation into party finances, has piled the pressure on him. the final straw, a row over the snp's untruthful claim

that its membership was stable, when in fact it had plummeted by 30,000 injust over a year. in a statement, mr murrell said... all three candidates fighting that campaign have voiced concerns about the state of their party. decisions within the snp have been taken by too few people, and i think that's well—recognised across the political domain. and snp members want to know that our institution is democratic, that they can influence it, that they can shape policy. i think there has been a feeling that they are disempowered from that process. we need to have internal reform of headquarters, and i think it should be a priority for whoever the next leader of the snp is. if it's me, within the first week i'll make sure we get the work under way to look at that internal reform of h0 which is

absolutely necessary. the third candidate, ash regan, has been mr murrell�*s harshest critic. she says the democratic foundations of the party are now reasserting themselves. an era is ending for scotland's ultimate power couple. peter murrell played a key role in building the snp's slick, professional, election—winning machine. but now, say his opponents, the wheels have come off. which means one member of this trio will face huge challenges — repairing public services, reviving the stalled campaign for independence and reuniting a divided party. james cook, bbc news, glasgow. you're watching bbc news. you can reach me on twitter, and you can find more on all our stories on the bbc news website and the bbc news app. i'll see you shortly.

it will be often cloudy, though, right across the uk and rain is possible almost at any time, anyway. temperatures very mild, up to 15 degrees in some spots. you can see these weather fronts gathering out towards the west on monday evening as well. and then tuesday onwards, these weather systems are racing across the atlantic, a large area of low pressure, it'll be breezy at times, but it's never going to get particularly cold. in fact, it's going to stay on the mild side. here's the outlook, then, for the week ahead. you can see a lot of rain icons there, so distinctly wet week in the forecast, but it'll stay mild, double figures across the board, even the mid—teens. bye—bye.
