in some parts of the country. this is one of the main roads out of islamabad. the protesters here have come out in their hundreds to show how angry they are at the arrest of imran khan. today's arrest left some without hope for pakistan's political system. i don't know, let there be anarchy, let there be chaos, if there is no imran khan, there is nothing left in pakistan. other protests were directed that one group, pakistan's powerful military. imran khan has repeatedly criticised its leadership. in lahore they broke into the city was my highest official residence. in rawalpindi they broached the case of the military headquarters. pakistan has not seen such open attacks on its military in decades. imran khan's party tonight said they would challenge the arrest in court and try to distance themselves from any act of violence, but they intend protests to continue. pakistan is due to hold a national election this year. the country is already caught in a deeply divisive,

political power struggle. caroline davies, bbc news, islamabad. live now to husain haqqani, former pakistan ambassador to us and senior fellow at anwar gargash diplomatic academy. thank you very much and asked her forjoining us here on the programme. pakistan tonight is a country on edge. programme. pakistan tonight is a country on edge-— programme. pakistan tonight is a country on edge. pakistan has been on edae country on edge. pakistan has been on edge many _ country on edge. pakistan has been on edge many times _ country on edge. pakistan has been on edge many times before. - country on edge. pakistan has been on edge many times before. today| country on edge. pakistan has been | on edge many times before. today is another sad day in a long list of sad days in pakistan. no elected prime minister should be treated like imran khan has been today even after they have been removed from office. unfortunately, mr imran khan and self supported such action against his pre—assessors giving the way for today's action. we against his pre-assessors giving the way for today's action.— against his pre-assessors giving the way for today's action. we have seen this as ou

legal. and the reason for that is simple. the tradition has been set before the president is already there that taking bale in each crime separately. imran khan had bail in a number of cases and he went to confirm that to the court today but apparently there was a case that has not yet been announced and it does in that case that he has been arrested. he had a chance as did other elected leaders of pakistan to change laws when they were in power. none of them have done it. they have accepted the rules of the game and now imran khan is angry that the rules do not suit him. that is the real problem of pakistan. if they want democracy than all parties have to agree with the rules and play by those rules and every now and then someone will obviously be charged of crime but when they are they have to be treated much better than the way imran khan has been. basically it is

dangerous to be in opposition in pakistan. . . . , dangerous to be in opposition in pakistan. . . . pakistan. the circumstances of pakistan's _ pakistan. the circumstances of pakistan's history _ pakistan. the circumstances of pakistan's history prove - pakistan. the circumstances of pakistan's history prove that. l pakistan. the circumstances of i pakistan's history prove that. the real test of democracy is not having elections one office —— party when office it is how you treat the opposition. the majority must have its way but the minority office must be respected and be safe. in this particular instance imran khan was removed from office not by a military group at a parliamentary vote of no—confidence to accept it first calling it an american conspiracy than blaming the army. the army actually has not supported him actively and that is what is annoying him. since last year. but the army may now making clear that he needs to restore order. violence targeting army leaders and statements targeting army officers by name are not going to help imran

should all agree not to do it in the future but i don't see any sign of that. ., future but i don't see any sign of that. . . ~' , . future but i don't see any sign of that. . m , ., ., , future but i don't see any sign of that. . w , ., ., , that. can pakistan really afford all this civen that. can pakistan really afford all this given the _ that. can pakistan really afford all this given the economic— that. can pakistan really afford all this given the economic crisis, - that. can pakistan really afford allj this given the economic crisis, the security crisis in the political crisis that is lingering on? pakistan should not be in this position. the poor people of pakistan deserve better. the economy is in a dire state, the imf programme is on hold, tcp terrorists are attacking pakistani security forces and civilians and overall the country is not in a very good place. this is the moment for national unity. unfortunately instead of unity, imran khan and his supporters have promoted polarisation and this polarisation is not going to end well for pakistan or the people of pakistan. ., ~ , ., well for pakistan or the people of pakistan. ., ~ i. . well for pakistan or the people of pakistan. ., ~ . ., pakistan. thank you so much for “oininu us pakistan. thank you so much for joining us here _ pakistan. thank you so much for joining us here on _ pakistan. thank you so much for joining us here on the _ pakistan. thank you so much for. joining us here on the programme. live now to spain where we are joined byjournalist abbas nasir.

so, i would add that the military —— military orchestrated his ouster from office but what he is not acknowledged is is the military paved the way into office as well when, i was hearing the talk of opposition politicians. he was said to be additional crew and ended up behind bars unable to contest the following election. indie behind bars unable to contest the following election.— following election. we have seen this played _ following election. we have seen this played out — following election. we have seen this played out time _ following election. we have seen this played out time and - following election. we have seen this played out time and time - following election. we have seen i this played out time and time again in pakistan. yes this played out time and time again in pakistan. , this played out time and time again in pakistan-— in pakistan. yes indeed we have. if ou look in pakistan. yes indeed we have. if you look at — in pakistan. yes indeed we have. if you look at the _ in pakistan. yes indeed we have. if you look at the politics _ in pakistan. yes indeed we have. if you look at the politics through - in pakistan. yes indeed we have. if you look at the politics through the early 1990s through that entire decade, shehbaz sharif on a revolving door in the prime

to complete his term in office, a peaceful transition from one party to another —— nawaz sharif. but the military not only orchestrated his ouster but somewhat engineered, political engineering is a call in pakistan, this not to say imran khan is not popular. his pakistan, this not to say imran khan is not popular-— is not popular. his supporters sa in: is not popular. his supporters saying that — is not popular. his supporters saying that it _ is not popular. his supporters saying that it is _ is not popular. his supporters saying that it is a _ is not popular. his supporters saying that it is a small - is not popular. his supporters| saying that it is a small group, is not popular. his supporters i saying that it is a small group, it was said earlier, but his supporters as we have seen have come out in full force. he as we have seen have come out in full force. ., , as we have seen have come out in full force-— full force. he remains a magnet i think his populist _ full force. he remains a magnet i think his populist slogans - full force. he remains a magnet i think his populist slogans are - full force. he remains a magnet i | think his populist slogans are very popular and because his ouster was seen by his supporters at least as him being wrong and that his tenure in office was as an ouster as the promise ofjobs and free humps of the homeless and subsidies to the nudity, nothing was fulfilled —— to

the needy. and in the face of environmental concern he went there, but the pakistani military is known for its own goals. mind you when some of us were students back in the 70s and 80s and protesting against pakistan joining the war against the soviet forces we were called traders and that we were on i did not even get a bottle of water let alone a fat paycheque. saying that we were too small to mess with superpowers and focus on our people and feeding and focus on our people and feeding and clothing them and educating them. in so many years down the line we are still back to square one. where no one has a square meal a day at least 50% of the population

here's our russia editor steve rosenberg. he speaks russian. they chant in russian. it is the day russia likes to project power and invincibility. military band plays. despite security concerns, the annual victory day parade went ahead on red square to commemorate the defeat of nazi germany. but the war in ukraine made this feel a very different may 9th, the 80—year—old t—sii the only tank on display here. modern tanks are normally a feature of the victory day parade. not this year. there was no military fly—past, it was cancelled, and there were fewer soldiers here than normal. watching from the stands, russia's commander—in—chief.

vladimir putin is under intense pressure. his invasion of ukraine has not gone to plan, but he continues to blame the west. translation: today once again civilisation is at - a decisive turning point. a real war has been unleashed against our homeland. we have repulsed international terrorism in the past, now we will protect the people of donbas, and we will ensure our security. and security has become a problem for those running russia. less than a week ago, this happened — an apparent drone attack on the kremlin. the russian authorities blame it on ukraine. these too. in recent weeks there's been a string of drone on russian territory, and on russian—occupied crimea, as well as bombs targeting the railways and power lines. citing security concerns,

several russian regions had cancelled local victory day events. for the kremlin, it was important to keep calm and carry on in the capital, but the red square parade was shorter than normal. what was once a showcase of russian military might this year seemed to highlight military problems more than ia months after the kremlin launched a full—scale invasion of ukraine. steve rosenberg, bbc news. joining me now is the russian political scientist and former close adviser to vladimir putin, professor sergey markov. thank you forjoining us on the programme. would you agree that today's parade rather than showcasing the might of russia's military actually showed the problems that it faces and its

speaking to people who had decided to block the road between two cities and they had cornered off the whole sections of the motor rate which causes a lot of congestion because this is one of the key thoroughfares. people there spoke to talked on a real sense of desperation and anger because of what happened. giving you a backdrop to the situation in pakistan, there is a major economic worries, problems and pakistan at the moment. we note that the international monetary fund has been here since january onwards recently having discussions to try to come to some form of agreement to get some more money to help pakistan. they did not come to a final agreement and signed it off and sell a lot of these issues have continued to rumble on in the background. people are seeing intense inflation, struggling to be able to purchase food for themselves and there is a real sense of worry and there is a real sense of worry and concern on what this means for the future of pakistan. some people

i spoke to today, new imran khan as the solution. 0ther i spoke to today, new imran khan as the solution. other people have suggested that he was obviously the prime minister up and year when he was ousted in a vote of no—confidence stop some people see him as partially responsible for creating the economic situation that pakistan now finds itself in. the sense of desperation and anger on the streets was clear when we went to speak to people in islamabad and people were ripping down the sides of the road to earnings and they were creating fires. interestingly were creating fires. interestingly we have been speaking to people from pti, imran khan's partey about what is going on here in pakistan at the moment. 0ne is going on here in pakistan at the moment. one thing that they have said is that the protests will continue, to think will contest this arrest in court even though we have heard from lawyers here that it is from the chiefjustice, and it is considered to be legal but protests are likely to keep going. thank

used for this purpose. the met said... the met added that officers had been briefed to be extremely vigilant and proactive because of information that people were looking to seriously disrupt the event. we want information as to why we had four months of briefings in which we were told that all of our plans were absolutely acceptable and fine, well within the law, and then we were arrested. we want to know where those decisions came from. i'd like to know if there was any pressure from the home office and the home secretary. and i would invite a very clear

and frank admission and an apology. graham smith says officers came to his home to apologise but he maintains that police made a very serious error ofjudgment and is considering legal action. we will be right back. hello there. we've seen a real mixture of weather today, some warm sunshine coming through, but some torrential downpours as well. we had some heavier showers earlier in the day in wales. that was followed by the sunshine as the downpours with some thunder in there as well swept into the midlands and it's been pushing down towards the south—east. and this is where we still have this yellow thunderstorm warning from the met office. so these areas into the evening will continue to get some very heavy rain in places and some thunder and lightning, possibly some hail as well. those downpours in the south—east do slowly fade away overnight. and then we see more cloud coming in from the atlantic. that's going to bring in frequent showers into northern ireland, into western scotland.

ahead of that, some clearer skies. and so temperatures could be as low as seven or eight degrees into wednesday morning. for many eastern areas, though, it will start dry, but we'll see more showers breaking out and, really, for the next couple of days, we've continue to see this mixture of sunny spells and some widespread heavy and perhaps thundery showers. we've got the dry start for many eastern areas, but the cloud will build up through the day. we'll see the showers breaking out. those could turn heavy and thundery, more especially across eastern parts of england. before those downpours arrive temperatures here could reach 18 degrees. but with those frequent showers and more cloud in northern ireland and western scotland, it's only going to be around 15 degrees here. and that same area of low pressure is just going to dawdle its way southwards. come to rest across the uk in time for thursday. the winds probably not quite as strong in the south—west of england by this stage. and elsewhere, the winds are going to be light. so the showers that do develop again through the day more widely will be slow moving, heavy, potentially thundery as well. drying off more in the afternoon in northern ireland with some

sunshine but staying quite cloudy in the north east of scotland. so cooler here. elsewhere, temperatures will be around 16 degrees. a lot of showers then developing again on thursday. but that main area of low pressure drifts away on friday. high pressure starts to build in, starting to settle things down by the end of the week. now, we're still close enough to low pressure to bring the risk of some showers in the south—east. and there'll be a chilly wind blowing in off the north sea, bringing with it more cloud. the best of the sunshine across northern and western parts of the uk. so temperatures here could get up to 18 degrees again, but rather chilly around those north sea coasts.
