this is bbc news, the headlines. pakistan's former prime minister imran khan is released from custody what next for the country, after days of violent unrest. the countdown to eurovision is on.... we'll be live liverpool to soak up the atmosphere ahead of the grand final tomorrow. another update from pakistan the former prime minister has been released from the court complex in the capital and now we are getting
7:31 pm
an update on his journey home to lahore. we have some pictures here and the journey is being detailed lahore. we have some pictures here and thejourney is being detailed by his political party's political —— twitter feed his political party's political —— twitterfeed in his political party's political —— twitter feed in earlier on that feed they were saying he was on his way to lahore and along the route home from the capital people were joining him. so his supporters were coming out along the mortar way intersections to support him as he heads back home. how long he will be at home for, we do not know because it feels somewhat like a temporary stay of execution here in that has been granted bail, the supreme court overturned his arrest, however there is time limited so although he cannot be arrested again on the same charges over the next few days, there is a time limit, and of course all of these charges, corruption
7:32 pm
charges, lots of legal proceedings may all still stand. next week in the week after we could cv appearances in court. his supporters absolutely furious that he was arrested in the first place of beginning of the week and the supreme court agreed with part of their anger seeing the way that he had been arrested was not right and they overturned that and they failed him. but that was ten or 12 hours or so ago. he did not walk straight out of the court. he waited for certain specific papers and then claim to various journalist that he was being held that the supreme courts decision was safe and sound but other difficulties or preventing him from leaving. security up there and that may have had something to do with the delay. but it seems like now very much he is on his way to lahore. we will keep you read today
7:33 pm
with imran khan's movements because he is such a crucial figure, just a year ago prime minister in pakistan and now in court being arrested and bailed for being released. an extraordinary twist and turns his political story in pakistan. we will keep you across that. to the united states where a new migration policy is in operation. a look to the united states now, where a new migration policy is in operation along the border with mexico following the expiry of covid era restrictions — known as title a2. the new rules will penalise those crossing illegally with deportation and a ban on re—entering the us for at least five years. thousands of troops and officers have been deployed following warnings of chaos as the system came into force. here are some pictures from the border — where large groups of people are waiting near the barbed wire — poised to make that crossing. officials have said ten thousand people have made their way to the areas around the southern us border. president biden acknowledged earlier in the week — the situation may be chaotic
7:34 pm
in the coming days — till the new policy beds in. as for those trying to make the crossing there is confusion about what will happen as this mother from venezuela told us. translation: it venezuela told us. translation: , , . translation: it is “ust too much as a mum, translation: it is “ust too much as a mum. here _ translation: it is “ust too much as a mum. here you _ translation: it isjust too much as a mum, here you cannot _ translation: it isjust too much as a mum, here you cannot sleep - translation: it isjust too much as a mum, here you cannot sleep the l translation: it is just too much as l a mum, here you cannot sleep the way too intense, i said lord, what do what do i do. we are worried that they will close the border and tell us everything is over. after all of the sacrifice. live now to el paso — and we can speak to cindy ramirez, the lead immigration reporter at el paso matters. that's a news organisation that focuses on investigative reporting about el paso and the wider region. thank you for coming onto the programme. give us a flavour of what the situation there is right now. fie, the situation there is right now. lot of the chaos that you spoke about has actually subdued, last night and into this morning
7:35 pm
primarily because a lot of the migrants you mentioned that had been waiting a long defence of the rio grande river to enter the united states turn themselves into border patrol before the expiration of title 42. patrol before the expiration of title a2. so what we are seeing now is just a slow stream of people that are coming and in a orderly fashion, applying for asylum. what we saw i believe about when thousand 500 people in the texas border who were processed yesterday so a lot different this morning but it is a bit of a calm before the storm. once these migrants are processed border agents and receive their paperwork to remain legally in the country until their immigration hearings, then they are faced with the migrants being released to the shelters and into the community

7:38 pm
hours' time. just one day away from that grand final of the eurovision song contest and for many of the acts there had been months and months of preparation for this moment. so who better to look ahead to the grand final then doctor eurovision himself, pauljordan. people will be wondering why are you called that? i people will be wondering why are you called that? ., ,., ., , , called that? i wrote part of my phd on eurovision and _ called that? i wrote part of my phd on eurovision and looking - called that? i wrote part of my phd on eurovision and looking at - called that? i wrote part of my pth on eurovision and looking at ukraine and who knew all of these years later it would come in handy. here ou are later it would come in handy. here you are now— later it would come in handy. here you are now giving _ later it would come in handy. here you are now giving us _ later it would come in handy. here you are now giving us the - later it would come in handy. here you are now giving us the lowdown. so let's look ahead of the final, 26 countries are battling it out and we already have about four or five strong contenders, probably swede linton ficklin at the top of the list but israel coming through now. indeed they have a good draw in the running order, it is set by the producers they are towards the end, a very good singer and dancer as well. good pop star as they kept saying in the semifinals, it will be a nordic battle between sweden and finland i think. who

told me that twitter is nearly an impossible business to run and so it makes sense that he would be willing to relinquish some control to ms yaccarino, this is a field that she is used to and obviously is a very capable operator and it would not be surprising if elon musk said, i don't want to deal with this any more, have at it.— more, have at it. that is interesting _ more, have at it. that is interesting we _ more, have at it. that is interesting we will i more, have at it. that is interesting we will wait l more, have at it. that is. interesting we will wait to more, have at it. that is i interesting we will wait to see more, have at it. that is _ interesting we will wait to see what happens on that and we'll see if your prediction comes true. thank your prediction comes true. thank you very much for coming on to the programme. back now to pakistan the former prime minister khan leaving the court complex where he had been held and then granted bail and then allowed to leave and then not leaving them we heard from his party pti that he was on the move and we
7:56 pm
saw those pictures of him on the motorway, what we believes to be him and then get to be verified but the party describing him moving back to lahore where he lives. so continuing coverage of that, khan story throughout the hours ahead. for now let's pause and get the weather. hello. not everybody got the sunshine on friday. in fact, it was fairly cold and gloomy in the east of the country. the best of the warmth was further west. how about the weekend? we can summarise it like this. sunny on saturday and showers expected on sunday, at least for some of us. now, the big picture shows an area of high pressure building on top of the uk around scotland and northern ireland. but to the south we“re closer to low pressure and a weather front has brought some clouds, some light rain and drizzle in places that's now mostly faded. but it is going to be a fairly cloudy night. east of the pennines, central parts of england and further south too. many northern and western areas
7:57 pm
should have a relatively clear night and a nip in the airfirst thing on saturday morning, about six degrees in the lowlands of scotland. so this is what it looks like on saturday morning. sunshine from the word go across many western and northern parts of the country, but the cloud may be stubborn across england, especially eastern areas. and in fact, some areas may stay fairly cloudy all through the day, particularly closer to the north sea coast. it'll be chilly here, but elsewhere, widely, the high teens up to 20 degrees. a beautiful day for cardiff, for liverpool, for belfast and for glasgow. now the uv levels are going to be high this weekend. of course, the sun is strong in may. so let's not forget that it's not dependent on the temperature, it“s dependent on the time of the year. now, the forecast for sunday shows a weather front approaching so that high pressure over us isn't going to last for very long. here's the weather front as it makes its journey into north—western parts of the uk on sunday and then eventually crossing the irish sea, moving into the lake district, reaching liverpool and also
7:58 pm
the western fringes of wales as well as south—western england. so here, cooler, cloudier with rain at times the warmth and the sunshine will contract towards the east and the south. and in london we could see highs up to about 22 degrees celsius on sunday, but the warmth isn“t going to last for very long. you can see the orange colours get replaced by yeah, these cooler conditions from the north and that blue. so things are going to cool off as we head into next week. in fact, you can see that warm weekend there sunday in cardiff and london. and after that it turns cooler with temperatures in the mid—teens. but generally speaking, we are expecting fairly dry weather.
