bought by its rival ubs. fearfulformer us fearful former us president donald trump says he expects to be arrested on tuesday and has called on his supporters to come out in protest. in a post on his own social media platform he claimed to have seen it leaks from the manhattan district attorney office which is yet to comment. mr trump is office which is yet to comment. mrtrump is said office which is yet to comment. mr trump is said to have paid hush money. here is david willis. in order to make america great and glorious again, i am tonight announcing my candidacy for president of the united states. four months after he announced a third run for president, donald trump could make history for a rather different reason. responding to speculation in the american media, he took to his own platform

truth social to level a capslock chorus of accusation against the manhattan district attorney, whose office, mr trump believes, has been leaking news of his imminent arrest. central to a long—running investigation undertaken by the da's office is the porn star known as stormy daniels. prosecutors have been looking into whether mr trump made illegal payments in order to buy her silence before the 2017 presidential election following a brief affair. that, he denies, but it is the final five words of that social media posting that have proved particularly disconcerting to some. "protest," he writes. "take our nation back." a message chillingly similar to one he delivered shortly before the uprising at the us capitol building on 6january, 2021, which saw a violent mob of trump supporters lay siege to the seat of government. senior republicans have rallied

to mr trump's defence. on twitter, the house speaker kevin mccarthy said arresting the former president would amount to what he called an outrageous abuse of power, but his democratic opponent nancy pelosi branded mr trump's social media message reckless, saying its aim was to keep himself in the news and ferment unrest amongst his supporters. for voters in mr trump's home state of florida, the tune is familiar, and opinion remains sharply divided. this is just beyond ridiculous at this point. you can keep going after him and the outcomes are all going to be the same, and it is only going to incite more people to come out and support. he has committed so many crimes and nobody has prosecuted him enough yet. i will look forward to seeing justice be done. mr trump's legal team say they have received no indication of their client's impending arrest, but he is facing legal battles on a number of other fronts as well.

america 45th president could become the first one ever to be charged with a crime. earlier, i asked the president of west coast trial lawyers why this case could get donald trump into court. i think it is very likely because we're about new york law, and new york is unique and requires a criminal defendant the opportunity to appear and testify before a grandjury. of course, donald trump said no but that opportunity was provided, the last of all the witnesses that's going to be grand juried on monday. the leaks coming out of the office, i fully expect the manhattan district attorney to indict donald trump sometime this week. donald trump has previously admitted making this payment to stormy daniels, so what are his avenues of defence? i expect donald trump to pursue one of two defenses. he will either argue that michael cohen is a rat 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 they 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 when the feds prosecuted michael cohen, they said it was illegal. and cohen being trump's personal lawyer who gave the payment initially to stormy daniels before being compensated. he's going to play an important part in this, isn't he? explain that. of course, he absolutely is the critical witness because he is the one who paid the $130,000 in hush money to stormy daniels, and donald trump later admitted to reimbursing him, so he will be the prosecution's star witness in this case. of course, this isn't the only potential legal proceeding that donald trump is facing, so why this one, and 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 or the documents at mar—a—lago, there have been prosecutors in the united states who 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. what difference if any do you think donald trump's announcement this weekend that he will be arrested will make to this legal proceeding? it won't affect the legal case but it will certainly rally his base. we know there are trump supporters that will believe in the former president, no matter whether he is indicted, arrested, even convicted, so that is more of a political play than a legal one.

president putin has flown to crimea to mark nine years since the region was annexed by russia. state media says he subsequently visited the devastated ukrainian city of mauripol which was cg that may. putin has been accused of war crime, specifically the forced deportation of children from ukraine to russia. efforts are continuing in ukraine to bring home children missing. a diplomatic correspondent james ladell reports. vladimir putin today in sevastopol. there to open an arts centre and mark the anniversary of russia's illegal annexation of crimea. 0ne place he can still visit without risk of arrest after international prosecutors accused him of war crimes. the united states may not accept the jurisdiction of the international criminal court, but president biden welcomed its decision nonetheless. well, i think it's justified, but the question is, it's not recognised internationally by us either,

but i think it makes a very strong point. he has clearly committed war crimes. thank you. the allegations are that mr putin 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 — were taken, and only a fraction have been brought home. she welcomed the court decision, but... it's only the first step. our next step should be returning back all ukrainian children from the russian federation to ukraine. not only because of the reason to reunite them with their families, but in order to receive as much as possible evidence and testimony from them directly. in kyiv today, people told me the court's decision meant the world now knew about russia's alleged war crimes. what is your reaction? i'm very happy about it because justice will come.

extremely happy. why? because we expected this for more than one year and because, definitely, vladimir putin is a crime person. at home, vladimir putin is honoured as a head of state. abroad, he is now wanted as an alleged war criminal. the kremlin has rejected the accusations against him, but on the global stage his isolation has deepened. james landale, bbc news, kyiv. a deal brokered by the un and turkiye allowing the export of ukrainian grain from the black sea has been renewed hours before it was due to expire. kyiv says it will continue for four months but moscow says it agreed to just 60 days. the green initiative was brokered in july green initiative was brokered injuly during fears for a globalfood crisis after injuly during fears for a global food crisis after moscow blockaded ukrainian ports.

for how long. 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. it relies on a grain which the world food programme buys it ukraine. then we have yemen, afghanistan, they too are insecure and we have seen a rise in global food insecure and we have seen a rise in globalfood prices insecure and we have seen a rise in global food prices at any disruption to the global grain supply will push those prices up again. find grain supply will push those prices up again. and earthquake has struck _ prices up again. and earthquake has struck off _ prices up again. and earthquake has struck off the _ prices up again. and earthquake has struck off the coast - prices up again. and earthquake has struck off the coast of - has struck off the coast of ecuador killing 13 people. the tremor was also felt in northern peru where one young girl died in a border province where her home collapsed. bbc america's editor reports.

putin has visited the ukrainian peninsula on the ninth anniversary of russia's illegal annexation of crimea. in israel, protests against the government's plans to curb the supreme court's powers have entered their 11th week. tens of thousands of israelis have taken part in more nationwide demonstrations. opponents of the reforms have accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who is on trial for corruption charges, of trying to use the reforms to quash possible judgements against him. he has rejected the accusation. earlier i wasjoined by gabe friedman. he told me share scale of the protests alone was unprecedented. well, there are several layers to this going on. i think, first of all, the situation on the ground is the first thing you have to look at. it's notjust tens of thousands, it has actually been hundreds of thousands of protesters. and the way that their numbers are growing and not diminishing in any way week to week — i mean, i saw numbers today that are somewhere in the range

of 250,000 people across israel protesting. out of a population of 9 million people total in israel, that's the equivalent of something like 8 million people in the united states protesting. so the fact that it's just gaining momentum isjust huge, and the way that they're doing it on the ground, as well, their way of staying in the headlines and really being disruptive. prime minister benjamin netanyahu had to be airlifted to the airport earlier this month to get on a flight to italy to meet with italian leaders, because protesters blocked the highways so effectively. so it's really a crisis on the ground. gabe, is there a consensus in the us among jewish communities there about what is going on? yes, there is about as close as — i don't want to say 100% consensus, butjust of that group you look ——but just about ever group you look at from across the political spectrum, maybe leaving out

a few really fringe groups, but across the spectrum it's really a ten—alarm fire. it's like, this is the moment that americanjewish leaders have feared for a long time. it could be the last straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of americanjewish support for israel. yes, what could these reforms mean for the relationship between the us and israel? well, for years — the majority of americanjews are pretty liberal, and for years the relationship has been complicated. many of them support israel but do it with reservations and in a very complex way, despite the problems that they see in the situation with the palestinians and other things, and how social justice issues are treated there as well. and americanjewish leaders are saying, you know, this could be the last thing that pushes those people, those supporters, over the edge to saying, "i can'tjustify my support of israel anymore. "i have supported it for years,

despite the way its electorate "and its government have shifted farther and farther "right on many things," and they feel like this is the last thing. so they're pulling out all the stops. organisations that don't normally criticise israel or even step into the political realm at all are raising the alarm. the european union's top diplomat has announced agreement between kosovo and serbia on how to normalise relations between the country, after 12 hours of talks the eu foreign policy chief told a news conference in north macedonia the deal would drink significant benefits for both sides. the troubled bank credit suisse is in talks with its largest swiss rival, ubs, to try

and secure a deal aimed at such shoring up its finances. in recent days shares fell sharply after weakness was found in its reporting, prompting the swiss national bank to step in with an emergency $54 billion lifeline. but there are a few provisos for the ubs takeover. lananh nguyen is the us finance editorfor reuters in new york, and has been looking at the details. there are actually many provisos. so the first is what we just recently and exclusively reported, which is that ubs is seeking $6 billion in government guarantees for credit suisse in order to do a deal. now, there's a lot of risk around this deal in terms of credit suisse's troubles, and what we understand is that the government and the parties from both companies are really 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. there are many employees that might need to be laid off, on top of which there is a litigation risk against credit suisse. so there's a lot

still happening. it's a fluid situation and there's no guarantee of a deal at all right now. the situation can change entirely, so we're following this very, 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. so it's not usually this quick, but at the same time we're facing unusual and extraordinary times in the banking industry, where two national champions in switzerland are looking at a potential deal to merge. and so i think this is a moment where authorities and companies will get creative. as we've seen in the us financial crisis in 2008, the normal rules do not apply here. there have been violent clashes outside the court in islamabad hearing a case against pakistan's former prime minister, imran khan. he has been charged with not correctly declaring funds received for selling state gifts.

caroline davies sent this report. pelting police with stones, tear gas canisters exploding, filling the air, and in the middle, supporters clinging to his car. this was the arrival of imran khan at court today. tensions between mr khan's supporters and the authorities have been rising all week. an attempt to arrest him led to clashes in lahore. when mr khan's convoy left for court this morning, he did so with armed guards. at the entry to islamabad, the convoy stopped. police said mr khan's group would need to disarm. the crowd and traffic built. 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 till the end of the elections, so i won't be able to campaign. that's 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. 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, bbc news, islamabad.

of frost in some rural areas further north. so here's the forecast for the morning. you can see lots of bright, if not sunny weather, but this weather front is fast approaching. let's have a closer look. england and wales in the south looking sunny around 3:00pm in the afternoon. temperatures will be about 13 degrees. the winds are light — very pleasant out there. skies turning a little more hazy the further north—west and north you go. in fact, already at this stage, rainjust about nudging into the western isles of scotland, and it's raining in northern ireland, so by no means is it a dry day. we are expecting that rain to reach the north—west through the middle part of the afternoon and then eventually reaching the western fringes of wales, lancashire, the lake district, south—western parts of scotland and, come the evening, raining in the lowlands of scotland too. now, the forecast for monday shows another weather system moving across the uk. in fact, there's a succession of weather fronts waiting in the atlantic. it is going to be an unsettled week. so here's the forecast for monday, that rain spreading across north—western parts of the country. notice it's not raining everywhere. it will be often cloudy, though, right across the uk and rain is possible almost at any time, anywhere.

temperatures very mild, up to 15 degrees in some spots, and 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 a distinctly wet week in the forecast. but it'll stay mild — double figures across the board, even the mid—teens. bye— bye.
