khan live from london. this is bbc news. former pakistani prime minister imran khan, has been granted bail at islamabad high court — but tells the bbc he expects to rearrested when he leaves. this is the scene outside the court room, where you can see crowds gathered outside. many are waiting for mr khan to leave, we will go there live if there are any developments. concerns of a potential surge of migrants on the us—mexico border as a controversial immigration policy expires arrested and detained for 13 hours — we hear from the royal supporter whose coronation celebrations turned into a nightmare.

it was because of a police mix—up. and another colourful night at the eurovision song contest, as the line—up for the grand final on saturday is now confirmed. a very warm welcome. pakistan's ex—prime minister imran khan has been freed from custody, a day after the supreme court ruled his dramatic arrest on corruption charges was illegal. imran khan was released on protected bail, was due to be released on protected bail, meaning he can not be re—arrested for at least two weeks. this was the scene as mr khan arrived at court —

he's in the middle of this crowd, wearing sunglasses at the centre of the crowd. earlier, he told the bbc he believed he would be detained again immediately after his release. but, this should in theory now not happen for two weeks. nearly 2,000 people have been arrested for violence since his detention on tuesday and at least eight have been killed. 0ur pakistan correspondent caroline davies has been at court in islamabad. she's spoken to imran khan in the past few hours and caroline we have just come out of the courtroom where imran khan has been granted two weeks of protected bail, on the corruption case that he was arrested for here. he has been given two weeks of protected bail, now the next question is whether he gets bail in other cases that are also against him. we are waiting to find out exactly what imran khan's

movements are going to be. we are not able to go inside, you can see the security around, very few people have been allowed into the courtroom to see proceedings. we are now waiting to find out exactly what will happen next, by the imran khan will happen next, by the imran khan will decide to stay within the court, to try to get bail in other cases too. let's go live now. the details that we know so far, the arrest was deemed incorrect. sahar, an arrest deemed incorrect but corruption charges stick — what's mr khan been saying? you have some doubts about his rearrest. the court ordered that he will not be arrested until the 17th of may in any other new case as well. right now, there is a big question about whether khan will

stay to face the other charges against him or if will leave for lahore, that is where he was stationed for quite a while, now. at the same time, what imran khan had been hoping is that all of his cases should be clubbed together so that he can stay in one course at the same time and doesn't have to go to different places at the same time, because of the security threats against his life. do because of the security threats against his life.— because of the security threats against his life. do we expect that an of the against his life. do we expect that any of the developments - against his life. do we expect that any of the developments today i against his life. do we expect that any of the developments today so j against his life. do we expect that. any of the developments today so far will go to ease that unrest that we have seen as we have been reporting there, ten killed, 2000 arrested. yes, for the time being, what is happening is that imran khan, if he comes out and says to his supporters, as the court also asked him to do, to ask them to not destroy public property or anything else, i think that that can ease the violence that we have seen for the past two or three days. at the same time, what is happening is that imran khan was expecting to say

something, he is expected to address the crowd once he leaves the islamabad high court as well, but the police has already, you know, ordered a section 144, there is a ban on public gatherings, we do not know if that will happen or not. word is already out on the streets, there are alleged rioters who are already involved in skirmishes with police and paramilitary troops, as well. there is a lot that is going on. this unrest will only come to an end if imran khan comes out and says his supporters, do not do anything. and remain peaceful. 3t, his supporters, do not do anything. and remain peaceful.— and remain peaceful. x rainforest, if ou and remain peaceful. x rainforest, if you are. — and remain peaceful. x rainforest, if you are. the _ and remain peaceful. x rainforest, if you are, the significance - and remain peaceful. x rainforest, if you are, the significance of- and remain peaceful. x rainforest, if you are, the significance of the l if you are, the significance of the protected bail that means he will not be arrested for two weeks. he had previously said that he expected to be rearrest at the minute you let the minute letter column. this means that he will not _ the minute letter column. this means that he will not be _ the minute letter column. this means that he will not be rested _ the minute letter column. this means that he will not be rested for- the minute letter column. this means that he will not be rested for the - that he will not be rested for the next two weeks, but he can be asked to help the authorities with

anything they need in the inquiry of the investigation. the national accountability bureau can approach him in case you have any questions with regard to the charges against him, they can ask him for a meeting. this will go on, but he will not be arrested. at the same time, it's a bad time for pakistan. imran khan is doubting that there are forces within the authorities who would want him to be arrested again. this came up after the interior minister said, while giving an interview to a tv channel, they will rearrest him evenif tv channel, they will rearrest him even if the high court gives an bail. that basically started this entire questioning of this bail, as well. forthe entire questioning of this bail, as well. for the time being, this is a protective bail for two weeks, well. for the time being, this is a protective bailfor two weeks, but after those two weeks, after the 17th of may deadline, anything can happen after that. he can be rested after that, after that two—week period, after it finishes. lets after that, after that two-week period, after it finishes. lets look at wider context _ period, after it finishes. lets look at wider context here. _

period, after it finishes. lets look at wider context here. in - period, after it finishes. lets look at wider context here. in respect | period, after it finishes. lets look i at wider context here. in respect of the charges that have been brought against imran khan, there are many. most of them involve corruption charges. a conviction on any of those charges would disqualify him from running for office, of standing for office once again. and, in a general election year, that would be a huge development. yes. general election year, that would be a huge development.— general election year, that would be a huge development. yes, that would be a hue a huge development. yes, that would be a huge development, _ a huge development. yes, that would be a huge development, and - a huge development. yes, that would be a huge development, and you - a huge development. yes, that would be a huge development, and you are | be a huge development, and you are right, the majority of these cases are corruption charges, which will disqualify him. at the same time, it all started when imran khan, while he was in power... i all started when imran khan, while he was in power. . ._ he was in power... i am going to sto ou he was in power... i am going to stop you there. _ he was in power... i am going to stop you there, imran _ he was in power... i am going to stop you there, imran khan - he was in power... i am going to stop you there, imran khan is i he was in power... i am going to. stop you there, imran khan isjust emerging from the court. we have pictures there... we are keeping an eye on a very crowded scene outside that court. just looking at pictures from a little earlier. let me just pick up on that point and talk about the significance of that context. in an election year, any development will be watched very closely, won't

it? , , a, will be watched very closely, won't it? , y a, a, a, it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying — it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying for— it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying for a _ it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying for a long _ it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying for a long time - it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying for a long time that. it? yes, definitely. imran khan had been saying for a long time that he j been saying for a long time that he wants a general election, he wants to be re—elected. whether they take place in two or three months, or within a nine—month period, he will definitely win. that is what he has been claiming so far. it all started when imran khan got into a confrontation with the then military chief about the appointment of the intelligence agencies chief. since then, there were a lot of incidents that happen after that. imran khan was outcast from parliament after a no—confidence vote against him. since then, he has been rallying people around saying that there is a conspiracy against his rule, against this government, he has been naming one or hire senior military chiefs as well. of conspiring against his moves. even today, when reporters tried to ask him, he says nothing during his appearance. he kept on

telling them to stay quiet. so a lot of people think that there is some sort of support in the judiciary or the military establishment, still. let's not forget that imran khan, within pakistan, a lot of his critiques critics know him as the blue—eyed boy of the military establishment. there is still support it is thought from the judiciary or military establishment, these conversations are still going on. i say this because just a little while ago, the prime minister of pakistan addressed a cabinet meeting. yesterday, the former prime minister and he met, meeting. yesterday, the former prime ministerand he met, he meeting. yesterday, the former prime minister and he met, he said he was happy to see him and wished him luck for his cases as well. we have never seen other cases of foreign premises, former prime ministers in similar cases. this is something a

lot of people are not hooking up on, they are literally, as you said so, minutely discovering and looking at every development which takes place, now. it every development which takes place, now. , ., , ., every development which takes place, now. , ., ., now. it is really good to have your inside there. _ now. it is really good to have your inside there, thank _ now. it is really good to have your inside there, thank you. _ now. it is really good to have your inside there, thank you. we - now. it is really good to have your inside there, thank you. we will. inside there, thank you. we will keep an eye on those pictures, as you can imagine, quite a confused seen there outside the court. the news that imran khan has been granted that bail, we will keep a close eye on if he does emerge from that courtroom. we are expecting that courtroom. we are expecting that he might try to address the crowds outside the courtroom. before that, let's bring up—to—date with news that a controversial immigration policy in the us has expired, and officials are warning about a potential surge in migrants at the us—mexico border. officials have said that when title 42 is no longer in effect, tens of thousands of people could try to cross over. the temporary law introduced by donald trump , known as title 42, meant illegal migrants could be removed quickly and it expired

at midnight washington time. the policy made it easierfor the us to send people back to mexico using the coronavirus pandemic as justification. among those trying to cross, there's confusion about what will happen now — as this mother from venezuela told the bbc. as a mum, it isjust too much. here, you cannot sleep, the coldest way too intense. this i said, lord, what do i do? we are worried that they will close the border and tell us everything is over, after all of the sacrifice. texas — which borders mexico — is one of the states that's at the forefront of this debate. this isjoe sanchez — from the texas department of public safety. oh, this border is not secure right now, we are doing our best in texas make sure that it is, but i can tell you, states are not having as much success as we are. live now to el paso and cbs news

correspondentjarred hill. as we said, this expired at midnight washington time. what are you seeing now? ~ ., washington time. what are you seeing now? ~ . . , ., ., now? where we are, which is at a church that _ now? where we are, which is at a church that operates _ now? where we are, which is at a church that operates now? where we are, which is at a church that 0 erates also now? where we are, which is at a church that operates now? where we are, which is at a church that 0 erates also as now? where we are, which is at a church that operates now? where we are, which is at a church that 0 erates also as a now? where we are, which is at a church that operates now? where we are, which is at a church that 0 erates also as a bit church that operates also as a bit of a shelter here, there are a number of people inside, as well as people that you can see sleeping outside for myriad reasons. this though is not directly related to the ending of title 42. these are people who already work in the country before that ended. 0ne people who already work in the country before that ended. one of the things that i had been hearing though from some folks who operate as advocates and help people to navigate the system, is that a lot of these changes have been either twisted by people on the other side of the border or have lead to confusion, where these migrants were trying coming to the country, and many of them ideally do the legal processes. to many of them ideally do the legal rocesses. ., , , ., ~ many of them ideally do the legal rocesses. ., ,, .,~ ., ., processes. to speak of those legal processes. — processes. to speak of those legal processes. it _ processes. to speak of those legal processes, it has _ processes. to speak of those legal

people? who are still waiting outside of the us — mexico border, they do not have a cell phone, they may not have access to get that information so if that information is being related... i’m information so if that information is being related. . ._ is being related... i'm 'ust going to interrupt * is being related... i'm 'ust going to interrupt there, _ is being related... i'm 'ust going to interrupt there, i _ is being related... i'mjust going to interrupt there, i just - is being related... i'mjust going to interrupt there, i just want i is being related... i'mjust going to interrupt there, i just want to | to interrupt there, i just want to say goodbye to viewers watching in the uk. thank you. let mejust pick up the uk. thank you. let mejust pick up about what you are saying about confusion on the border. as you are saying, some last—minute legal changes, too. saying, some last-minute legal changes. too-— saying, some last-minute legal changes, too. saying, some last-minute legal chances,too. , . ., changes, too. yes, that was one of the thin . s changes, too. yes, that was one of the things that _ changes, too. yes, that was one of the things that happen _ changes, too. yes, that was one of the things that happen overnight. l the things that happen overnight. there was a judge who made a temporary ruling blocking one of the efforts of the biden administration, in some other migrant facilities in the us, some of the migrants who are not a threat were released to the public without a court date, to go to a family member, whoever they

know here who they can say with, so that there is space on the shelters. a lot of these changes along the way have then been effectively edited because of title 42. they might get turned away. at the border. what turned away. at the border. what ha--ens turned away. at the border. what happens to _ turned away. at the border. what happens to people _ turned away. at the border. what happens to people who _ turned away. at the border. what happens to people who get turned away? where can they go, where the currently many of them end up? right, so the longest time, because of title 42, a lot of them are ending up in some of the border towns on the other side of the us border in mexico, where some of them had been for years, which is one of the reasons why we have seen this backlog. you have had a lot of people who come over the course of a couple of years, have tried to go somewhere else close enough that once the border opened up, they believe they can get back into the us. now we're seeing some of these new policies being put place, there

are other agreements with some countries that migrants are turned away will be sent back to where they came from, whether that is cuba, parts of central or south america, or some of them are being sent back to mexico. all, back to places further south. to mexico. all, back to places furthersouth. it's to mexico. all, back to places further south. it's an effort to avoid a bottleneck right at the us southern border. these processes are being put into case and implemented, the more way, that really could take time. l the more way, that really could take time. , .. .. the more way, that really could take time. , ., ., time. l is good to have you there, thank you — time. l is good to have you there, thank you very _ time. l is good to have you there, thank you very much. _ time. l is good to have you there, thank you very much. to - time. l is good to have you there, thank you very much. to break i time. l is good to have you there, i thank you very much. to break down exactly what title 42 is, and what could be changing right now for migrants, given that the policy has now been lifted, here is our newsroom reporter. title 42 was

introduced as a covert measure. it was introduced by president trump in march 2020 and used by his administration to justify telling people from the border between mexico and the us, in some cases without processing asylum claims on public health grounds. essentially, according to the trump administration, to stop covid—19 spreading into the united states. it is believed that 2.8 million people were turned away from the border under title 42. now that it has expired, what is going to take its place? policies announced by president biden mean that migrants will now be able to have their asylum applications screened, they will go to a regular interview process. they can also use an app to apply for an appointment at the border, the screen, interviews, and go through that process. it is thought that the majority of asylum applications have not already being

considered in a previous country that they have been crossing, like mexico, will be in eligible. centres will be appointed in various places in latin america, that is thought to reduce a chokehold at the border crossings between the us and mexico. now, if your asylum application is ineligible, or if you cross illegally, the penalties will still be quite severe. you could be processed and removed, and if you repeatedly tried to cross the border illegally, you could be banned for five years. now, there is a workaround, some would say, in the sense of this humanitarian parole policy. if you are a migrant from cuba, haiti, nicaragua, venezuela, you can apply to live and work under a policy introduced by biden known as humanitarian parole. that only allows for 30,000 people her mum and

you do have to have a financial sponsor in the united states. it could also apply to refugees from ukraine. around the world and uk, this is bbc news. 0n the busy a1 in north yorkshire in march this year, police cameras recorded jason ryder driving in poor conditions at speeds of 140 mph. the police pursuit which began in harrowgate lasted 17 minutes and ended near gately off the a1. when police deployed a stinger device to stop the speeding car. vehicle stung, vehicle stung! york crown court heard how jason ryder has how jason ryder had committed the offence on the very same day he had been disqualified from driving. he appeared before harrogate magistrates in connection with a previous driving offence but, instead of sending his licence, he left court and got straight into his car.

ryder was sentenced to ten months in prison, again disqualified from driving for 22 months. the judge described his driving as appalling, and said it was extraordinary that nobody was killed. you're live with bbc news. an update relating to volodymyr zelensky and eurovision. it relates to whether or not the president is to whether or not the president is to address people at the eurovision song contest. it was said that eurovision would not permit that, it could not be used for political means. we have had an update, the ukrainian presidential officer said it did not make such a request, it has denied reports that they asked

organisers of the contest to broadcast volodymyr zelensky�*s speech. they said that the report is false, the office of the president of ukraine has not asked the organisers of the concert to broadcast and online speech. there are a lot of suggestions on the bbc and other international broadcasters had prevented volodymyr zelensky from doing so, that ukraine presidential officer that they had not requested that. that, just align their stop we have also had a reaction from the uk government saying that it was disappointed that there would be such a ban on volodymyr zelensky speaking at the event. as you will know, the event prides its itself from political content. eurovision says it will not be used for political means. i also want to take you to live pictures that we have from turkey, this is a rally ahead of the country's election, a presidential vote. that

is three days away, the vote takes place on sunday. we know that one of the four main candidates has already pulled out of the race this is a rally for the opposition candidate. facing up against early president erdogan. now, the issue as there often is in elections is the economy, that is proving to be a huge election point. it suggests that the opposition candidate does have the edge over the current president, erdogan. there are concerns over what happens next. with a bit of background to what we might expect for that vote on sunday, here is our bbc turkish colleague. just a few days left to

one of the most crucial elections in the history of turkey. the last rallies are being held. here in istanbul, overa rallies are being held. here in istanbul, over a million people gathered to meet president erdogan, who has overseen a radical transformation in turkey. but, the society is as polarised as ever. turkey has a secular constitution, and has done since the 1920s. that has not changed. but, many argue that mr erdogan tried to impose more islamic values on the society, for example, a mosque, here, overlooking a symbolic site for the secular left with the unthinkable —— would be unthinkable before his rule. now it is an ode to how his rule has transformed the country. erdogan is often presented as a reformer who increased the standard of living for millions. 0ne increased the standard of living for millions. one of his landmark reforms was to lift a decades—old ban on islamist headscarves in the

universities and civil servants. this first—time voter is grateful. if we have teachers, doctors, engineers, wearing head scarves in this country day, that is all thanks to the freedoms mr erdogan granted. if it was not for him, we would still be oppressed in the name of secularism. still be oppressed in the name of secularism-— secularism. the key to victory in the upcoming — secularism. the key to victory in the upcoming elections - secularism. the key to victory in the upcoming elections is i secularism. the key to victory in the upcoming elections is in i secularism. the key to victory in the upcoming elections is in the | the upcoming elections is in the hands of nearly 5,000,001st—time voters. some feel disenchanted by mr erdogan and his rule. in 2021, students at turkey's prestigious universities started protests against the appointment of a pro—government dean. two years on, the controversy continues. pro-government dean. two years on, the controversy continues.— the controversy continues. during a rotest. .. the controversy continues. during a protest... accused _ the controversy continues. during a protest... accused of _ the controversy continues. during a protest... accused of resisting i the controversy continues. during a protest... accused of resisting the l protest... accused of resisting the police, _ protest... accused of resisting the police, this— protest... accused of resisting the police, this man was imprisoned for
