at least eight people are killed in ongoing violence in pakistan sponsored by —— sparked by a corruption case against a former prime minister imran khan. the mirror newspaper has apologised to prince harry in the start of a trial about alleged phone hacking. we have special report on the front lines in ukraine as our reporter witnesses the battle for the city of bakhmut. hello and a warm welcome. the former prime minister of pakistan imran khan has been remanded in custody

for eight days after his arrest on corruption charges. his detention has sparked protests across the country and at least eight people have died in clashes during the ongoing violence. this has happened in different cities across pakistan, and the conviction would disqualify imran khanfrom and the conviction would disqualify imran khan from standing for election. our correspondence sent this report from islamabad. burning into the night. protests from lahore, karachi, peshawar. this was the singed aftermath, the reaction to imran khan's arrest yesterday. but the unrest is far from over. morning in islamabad. police blocked roads into the compound where imran khan was due to appear in front of a judge. some party officials were stopped at the gates. have you spoken to him since yesterday? no, we have no access. that is why i'm demanding access. we are being denied access. beyond the boundaries of the compound, imran khan's supporters began to gather. this is the path through

towards the police line. that's the police compound. and the supporters of imran khan have broken through, blocked up a large amount of the road. and you can see here the clouds of tear gas as the police are trying to attempt to stop them from getting any closer. imran khan's party, the pti, said they wanted protests to continue, but to be peaceful. we saw supporters arrive with sticks and stones. they've shelled on us, says this man, referring to the metal tear gas shells. this is what we've brought to fight against them. you seem to be prepared, we ask. "we're going to bring shotguns and pistols next time if they keep shelling on us like this", he replies. protests reignited in peshawar, too, with the crowd chanting, "imran khan, your supporters are numerous". in islamabad behind the police line, imran khan faced two

corruption cases. on one, he was formally charged and pled not guilty. the full trial will now begin. on the second, he was told he would be remanded for eight days in police custody for investigation. against this febrile backdrop, pakistan is waiting to hold national elections while its economy teeters on the brink. the question of who will run pakistan is one neither side is willing to back down from. caroline davis, bbc news, islamabad. in the uk, the mirror group has apologised. they admitted there was some evidence of unlawful behaviour that warrants compensation but it denies allegations of voice mail interception in the case is being examined during the trial. lawyers for the duke of sussex and three other people argue that executives knew about widespread phone hacking but did nothing to stop it. we have

this report. prince harry is on a court crusade against the newspapers. six weeks ago it was the mail titles, then the sun, now a third case against tabloids owned by the mirror group. he wasn't in court today, but he will give evidence next month. he isjoined in this case by the coronation street actor michael le vell, who arrived this morning to hear opening statements. another actor from the soap, nikki sanderson, and fiona wightman, the ex—wife of the comedian paul whitehouse, are also bringing claims. prince harry is suing over 147 newspaper articles, which go back long before his marriage to meghan. from the 2000s onwards, the tabloids were desperate for gossip about him and his girlfriends like chelsy davy, so reporters got access to his private voicemail messages. today his barrister david sherborne said that as a young adult, harry was subjected to blatantly unlawful and appalling newsgathering methods.

if he and the other three alleged victims win, many could sue. it makes it much more likely that the mirror will have to accept and settle other cases that are brought before them because the background, the judges determined, was that there was widespread activity and that all these payments to private investigators were for illegal activity. in 2015, a case involving the actress shobna gulati resulted in mirror group newspapers admitting phones had been hacked and private investigators illegally obtained information. the company apologised online. the latest trial is about what senior people knew and did. the court heard senior executives including the mirror editor and now tv presenter piers morgan approved unlawful information gathering on an industrial scale. it was, barristers claimed, the stock in trade of tabloid journalists. mr morgan has always denied being involved in phone hacking. this will be a trial which reaches back to a different era, when print was dominant and people

actually left voicemails. but decades later, the reputations of the mirror newspapers are on the line. tom symonds, bbc news, at the high court. donald trump will appeal against the verdict of a new yorkjury which said he sexually abused a writer and then defamed her by calling her a liar. he described the verdict as a disgrace. but his victim ejean carroll said it was a victim for all women who suffered because they had not been believed. donald trump posted a video. i not been believed. donald trump posted a video.— not been believed. donald trump posted a video. i have absolutely no idea who this _ posted a video. i have absolutely no idea who this woman _ posted a video. i have absolutely no idea who this woman is. _ posted a video. i have absolutely no idea who this woman is. the - posted a video. i have absolutely no idea who this woman is. the verdict| idea who this woman is. the verdict is a disgrace and a continuation of the greatest witchhunt of all time, absolutely a shame. fill" the greatest witchhunt of all time, absolutely a shame.— absolutely a shame. our north american _ absolutely a shame. our north american correspondence - absolutely a shame. our north american correspondence was | absolutely a shame. our north l american correspondence was at absolutely a shame. our north - american correspondence was at the court and sent this report. —— correspondent.

e jean carroll didn't speak as she left the court but her smile said it all. it tookjurors just under three hours to rule in herfavour. while they did not find that donald trump raped her, they did unanimously agree that he sexually abused her and then defamed her when he accused her of being a liar. for all the women who have been abused across the country, this trial is a little step forward towards some justice. he is officially recognised now as a sexual predator. - 0n social media, donald trump denounced the verdict as a disgrace and claimed once more that it was part of a witchhunt against him. he-s strong. — he's ready to move forward. he wants to fight this on appeal. again, he was successful in one appeal before and he thinks - he will be successful in a second one. - this all began way back in the spring of 1996, during a shopping trip at the upscale bergdorf goodman department store. she said donald trump

recognised her as elle magazine's advice columnist and enlisted her help to find a gift for another woman. in a fitting room, donald trump slammed her against a wall and sexually abused her, a jury found. donald trump's lawyer subjected her to a line of questioning that was slammed by some as tone deaf and shameful. during one exchange, after lawyerjoe tacopina asked her repeatedly why she didn't scream, ejean carroll said, "i am not a screamer. "you can't beat up on me for not screaming." he replied, "i'm not beating up on you, i'm asking you questions." to which she said, "no, women who come forward, "one of the reasons they don't come forward is they are always asked "why you didn't scream? "some women scream, some women don't. "it keeps women silent." to bolster carroll's account, her lawyers called two friends who she told about the attack at the time and two other women who allege donald trump also sexually assaulted them. they also used donald trump's own words to establish this was how he operated, showing the jury this infamous access hollywood tape.

i'm automatically attracted to beautiful... ijust start kissing them. it's like a magnet. and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. he doubled down on those comments during a taped deposition played in court. you can do anything, that's what you said? historically, that's true with stars. the former president's lawyers on the other hand didn't present any witnesses in his defence, and he didn't even show up for the trial. at one point he was in scotland opening a golf course. in a statement, ejean carroll said... donald trump will now pay damages totalling $5 million. he is the first former president to be found liable for sexual abuse. many will be closely watching how this affects him politically, if at all. nada tawfik, bbc news,

at the courthouse in new york. residents have been ordered to go into shelters in israel, this comes shortly after israel launched us strikes on gaza with the military saying was targeting sites where islamicjihad had launched rockets. israeli air strikes killed three great leaders of the group. islamic jihad have vowed revenge —— have killed three leaders of the group. earlier i spoke to a senior fellow and director of the middle east institute's programme on palestine and palestinian israeli affairs and he explained his assessment on the current escalation.—

consultations will start in the summer and it may not become law until 2026. you are live with bbc news. the archbishop of canterbury has used his role in the house of lords today to criticise the government's proposed legal migration laws. the bill is being debated for the first time in the house of lords, with ministers insisting that the legislation will reduce the number of small boats crossing the channel. ministers say it is the best way of deterring people from risking their lives from crossing the english channel in small boats. he is the archbishopjustin channel in small boats. he is the archbishop justin welby channel in small boats. he is the archbishopjustin welby outlining why the proposals do not tackle the long—term and global nature of the problem. long-term and global nature of the roblem. , , , .. problem. even if this bill succeeded in temporarily _ problem. even if this bill succeeded in temporarily stopping _ problem. even if this bill succeeded in temporarily stopping the - problem. even if this bill succeeded in temporarily stopping the boats, i in temporarily stopping the boats, and i don't think it will, it won't stop conflict or climate migration

and the ipcc forecast that climate change by itself let alone the conflicts it is already causing, will lead to at least 800 million more refugees per year in total by 2050. and what if other countries follow suit? the unhcr has warned that the bill could lead to the collapse of the international system that protects refugees. is that what we want, the united kingdom's contribution to be in our leadership?— contribution to be in our leadership? our political correspondent _ leadership? our political correspondent has - leadership? our political correspondent has more| leadership? our political. correspondent has more on leadership? our political- correspondent has more on this. hello, david. what is your assessment of these words and how significant they are? the archbishop of canterbury _ significant they are? the archbishop of canterbury has _ significant they are? the archbishop of canterbury has actually _ significant they are? the archbishop of canterbury has actually been - significant they are? the archbishop of canterbury has actually been a . of canterbury has actually been a critic of the uk government's migration policies in certain areas now for some time, when the uk government was originally trying to get its rwanda plan up and running,

a plan by which people arriving in the uk seeking asylum can actually be sent to rwanda to be processed for asylum and if they get asylum they will live their lives there, and he was very critical of this plan last year, saying it was the opposite of the nature of god. this is a slightly different part of the migration process from the government, the illegal migration bill, which is essentially legislation that would make it illegal to arrive in the uk without the right to be here, the government would detain you and you would be processed and returned to your home country or to what they consider to be a safe third country and you would never be able to claim asylum in the uk. it is now in the house of lords, the second chamber, the archbishop of canterbury, by virtue of his position, sits in the house of his position, sits in the house of lords and he was very critical of it, invoking the bible, saying that

jesus had urged his followers to welcome the strangers and he said he followed a plan to put forward amendments to the legislation. the government has responded, we heard from the immigration minister robert jenrick who said he believes the archbishop of canterbury is wrong and he said there is nothing moral about allowing the pernicious trade of people smugglers to continue. the uk covenant believes this bill is going to be vital in terms of stopping boats crossing the channel from france with people seeking asylum, seeking to get into the country, and while this is part of our normal parliamentary process for a bill to go to the house of lords, we have heard from the home secretary in a newspaper article this morning, reminding peers that she believes that this piece of legislation represents in her words, the will of the people, a not so

subtle warning not to change it too much, but of course peers can put forward amendments to legislation like this and i suspect we will see quite a bit of this may be about unaccompanied children and modern slavery. about so—called safe and legal routes to allow refugees to enter the uk in a broader sense and although it will not fundamentally change the bill, you could slow down its passage. change the bill, you could slow down its assare. change the bill, you could slow down its passage-— its passage. david, thanks for “oininr its passage. david, thanks for joining us- — its passage. david, thanks for joining us. russia _ its passage. david, thanks for joining us. russia has- its passage. david, thanks for joining us. russia has not- its passage. david, thanks for - joining us. russia has not managed to capture bakhmut. nine months after launching its assault on the city. but ukrainian troops have resisted capture and are still holding out. the white house estimates more than 20,000 russian soldiers have been killed in eastern ukraine over the past five months. ukraine hopes the battle will exhaust the russian military in advance of its long anticipated offensive to recapture

territory. 0ur defence correspondent jonathan beale sent this report. a rare pause in this, the longest, bloodiest battle of the war so far. butjust a few hundred metres away, the russians are still waiting, still trying to encircle the city of bakhmut nearby. ukraine's president calls it a fortress of ukrainian morale. but like these trenches, it's under attack every hour of every day. go! go, go! let's go down. bakhmut�*s been under siege for more than nine months. we'll have to wait a little bit. so we've been now

shelled by the mortar. as you can see, it was pretty damn close. but eugene demonstrates its continuing resistance. let's go. quickly. so we're going to shoot back right now. try to kill some of them. let's get out of here! let's go. it could be said 1,000 times, but this is our country and our land. like, what else can we do? well, you could give up bakhmut and just move back? for us if we would retreat, for example, yes, we could save a few lives. but then we will have

to assault back. and we could lose much more lives. so we need to stand here till the end. but even defence is taking many ukrainian lives, young and old. stefan's comrades call him dad. at 61, he's still half the age of the ancient maxim gun he's firing. but he too was seriously injured, hours after we left his position. too dangerous to enter into the cauldron of the city itself, we tried to get a view from the distance. this is it. bakhmut is burning. a line of tower blocks pretty much all that's left standing. in a bunker, they direct artillery fire to support their infantry, their last line of defence

on the western edge of the city. this drone feed of bakhmut tells you a scene of utter devastation. not a building left here in the city that hasn't been either destroyed or damaged. and itjust tells you how fierce this fighting has been. wagner? are they mostly wagner fighters? yeah. the us estimates more than 20,000 russians have been killed in the last five months, many of them here in bakhmut. miroslav tells me they don't care about their people. as we watch two russian soldiers, he says theyjust advance in vain hope. his comrade adds, "they walk towards us with no fear". he says they must be on drugs. russia hasn't given up yet.

their artillery is still firing, but not as frequently as in the past. ukraine hopes bakhmut will have exhausted their enemy, as they now prepare for their own offensive. but it also shows taking ground can prove even more costly. jonathan beale, bbc news, bakhmut. some breaking news. republic and us congressman george saint—saens has resisted calls to resign for lying about his resume —— george saint—saens. he has been charged with fraud, money—laundering and false statements and he faces 13 counts according to the us department ofjustice

counts according to the us department of justice for allegedly applying for employment benefits when he was employed and running a congress —— george santos. we will have more on that soon. hello again. we started off the morning with skies like these and fairly innocuous looking clouds. the satellite picture shows a nice curl of cloud, the area of low pressure here with a weather front around it and with the winds aligned with it. the show is moving at around 20 miles per i, but some of the bigger ones across eastern areas of england —— the shower is moving at around. capable

of bringing a lot of rain and in an hourortwo we of bringing a lot of rain and in an hour ortwo we could of bringing a lot of rain and in an hour or two we could see localised flooding from the heaviest downpours. 0vernight tonight, the showers will ease away and with the area of low pressure moving southwards over northern ireland, here we will see further showers and cloudy skies overnight. temperatures for most between its 6—8 and tomorrow is another day of sunshine and showers, which i was to start the day off in northern ireland and some of the heaviest in the parts of wales and the midlands but in the eastern part of england the showers will die away towards the evening time as we start to develop a cooler easterly wind across the east. friday, we will start to get the winds coming in from the east or north—east across england and wales but high pressure will start to build over the north and scotland and northern ireland having a fine

day with some sunny spells, should be dry here. showers or longer spells of rain working eastwards across england through the day and with the east to north—easterly winds it will start to feel a good deal colder across eastern areas with temperatures around 111—15 and the highest temperatures reaching the highest temperatures reaching the highest temperatures reaching the high teens in the west. the weekend, starting off not bad with an area of high pressure, but it does not last and the second half of the weekend, we will see the clouds thicken with rain, so some warm spells of sunshine around on saturday, sunday, a lot cloudy with rain at times. goodbye for now.

a mixed picture for the us economy — the rate of inflation drops below 5% — but with the debt ceiling crisis continuing, markets remain on edge. and trouble at the top. the boss ofjohn lewis has been responding to growing staff anger at her leadership. welcome to world business report. we start in the us where we've just had the inflation figures for the month of april which show that consumer prices rose at a slower—than—expected pace of 4.9%. that's a small fall of 0.1% compared to the previous month. it will provide some relief to the federal reserve

that the central bank is succeeding in its fight against inflation.
