this is the third jail sentence that imran khan has got the course of a week.cond ia, this 7. we think these are all running concurrently, at the same time rather than adding on top of each other but this is still a very lengthy period of time that imran khan would have to spend injail. this particular sentence has been given because he has been found guilty, as you say, it is relating to his marriage to his wife bushra bibi. this is his third wife. this case is brought by her ex—husband that she was married to for around 30 years. he says that bushra bibi and imran khan did not wait for a designated period of time and between his divorce from bushra bibi and imran khan's marriage that is mandated by islam, that is why in the course of this judgment the judge has also talked about it being un—islamic as well as it being illegal. now, this is notjust about adding on an extra jail sentence to many of imran khan's supporters. what they think is happening here is that there is a repression of imran khan and of his political party in the build—up to the general elec

but he always kept imran khan out of this equation.see, if he becomes the prime minister, whether he wants this government to be inclusive or not. whoever the prime minister is, they will have to take some really crucial decisions, some difficult decisions about economy. and if they exclude pti from that and pti takes to the streets, it will become really difficult for them to run this country. do you think this election might represent something of a turning point? or is itjust a continuation of the turbulence we've seen? it's almost a joke now, john, that, you know, we keep hearing this phrase that pakistan is passing through its most difficult times. it's been like this for many, many, many years. and i feel like this actually is a time when pakistan is at crossroads, only because pakistan's economy is not working at all. it's not growing. the poverty is a0%. around half a million children die every year because of poverty. so it is probably the time for the politicians to sit down and really think hard. how do they want to go about

it was fair, but now the name of the party is not in the election arena, imran khan's party, imran'sose name is hizb insafa, as the election commission of pakistan and the supreme court of pakistan have decided about this party that since it could not hold internal elections , it cannot be called a party from here. enter the elections , was this argument real or was it an excuse to remove amra party? this is both an excuse and it is also correct from a legal point of view, that is, if a party does not hold internal elections, both the court and the election commission can do something about it, but it has not happened so far. at most, they will pay a fine, they will do something, but from the election. they don't do it, but this is the first time which has distanced itself from the elections and does not use the name of the party, and the issue that i wanted to make more clear to you is that the electoral sign is not even now the insaf party because it does not have a party . for example, for the muslim league of nawaz sharif, the lion is the lion of the forest, this is the election

the other slightly more improbable outcome is nawaz sharif forms a coalition with imran khan's party.leave the extremely difficult question open about what happens to imran khan himself. after all, he'sjust been imprisoned for 14 years and the idea of a coalition of his party and nawaz sharif�*s party being led by nawaz sharif, i think, would be extremely problematic. does he still have much of a say from prison? is he still clearly talking to candidates who are supporting him? i think what this whole election has shown is that, you know, it was assumed that by banning the party and banning the party symbol, you know, the party could not win. and i think what it has demonstrated, that the party is actually very adept at social media, very good online, and has actually, in a sense, it's been a sort of digital triumph over an analogue reaction, if you see what i mean. a russian drone strike has hit a fuel depot in the ukrainian city of kharkiv, killing seven people, according to regional officials. the attack caused a huge fire, which spread to nearby home and cars. the governor says th
