a vote. civilian and military leaders are gathering in pakistan's capital islamabad for the formal swearing in of the country's new prime minister and non-con was the country's most famous cricketer before turning to politics but it's taken him more than two decades to find any claim the top job will come all hydras joining us now from islamabad come all first of all just set the scene for us what's going to be happening. as you mentioned. from the navy army air force. bureaucrat diplomat have all gathered at the president a way the president. will be administering the oath to him ron is going to be a very many. indian cricket doing another

thing. and of god he has. made from india. going to be. taking prime minister of bug very well will be taking. at the predator. that you can keep behind me all the dignitaries have it i. shortly. many will begin with the. koran. administering. and the president of administering the oath to him run on come all i mean his part is to. party has a very what some would say wafer thin majority in the parliament in the national assembly that's going to make it very difficult for him to try to push through any sort of legislation and he's got big problems to face.

country where corruption is in. many of the government organized. and that's going to be talking to try and get back to their professionalism it is going to be a different. country the economy drums. politicians and bureaucrats. corruption. so. to be appointing a cabinet many. qualified and of course the people. change a big country where traditionally. for decades

and it's. imran khan's party which was formed back in one thousand nine hundred six . he is going to. the fact that he had to. know what the independents so he won't have to do. that they need to move legislation through parliament however he really become doing on some of the elements of the opposition party particularly the. stain from the war during yesterday's going to be interesting to see the way that he can get some of the opposition board in order for him to get. to be able to move legislation.

for him. the deal of responsibility is. to deliver a come out just as you're talking there and seeing some of the agency pictures work which are coming out from new delhi. and i think preparing to arrive for the ceremony but one of the issues that he is going to face and it's going to be a significant one is whether or not he can distance himself from accusations that he is the favorite of the military and that the accusations that during the campaigning that the military actually played a significant role in his campaign that's going to be a very tough hurdle for him to cross isn't that. strong institution and any. country has to have a good understanding would. deny having any and water.

election day to make sure that the elections are held in the first place because don has come under attack from die. several hundred people during the election campaign and would. have been hailed by the government because of the challenges. tried to move. that in. and tried to work with them rather than against them because that had always been a problem even end up to many of the political leadership. because of their relationship would. be an important factor denying at the same time they're dead and. they are saying that who have been elected by the people who. had the right to rule dish country come out how to live for us in islamabad come out

thank you very much indeed. our summer brings our very lives back at enron cons journey from cricket star to the new leader of pakistan. after a twenty two year struggle in amman tuns taken pakistan's top job the charismatic cricket captain who brought home the world cup is now the prime minister for years his vision has been to build what he calls a new pakistan the state has become one viable no you can only get out of this by a complete u. turn and what we call a new box them you know we want to but what they were is go back to the vision of the founding fathers. it all began with the launch of that they regained soft or p.t.i. in one nine hundred ninety six but it wasn't until the twenty thirteen election that it emerged as pakistan's third largest political party in this election can campaign on a track record of establishing a hospital in a university and more recently running the government of the fabric of our problems

. he's long been at the center of media attention both at home and abroad which meant his private life was also no spotlight from marrying british socialite jim i'm a goldsmith whose most recent divorce the journalist ron hahn even his third marriage with a spiritual advisor bush has not been without controversy. hans also denied his rival's accusations that he won as many seats this time because he was the military's favorite candidate. but he has been the favored candidate of many first time voters the youth as in round one calls them his party supporters have disrupted to dish and politics in the last few years but their energy and aggressive social media present and they've also put pressure on iran and members of his party have misbehaved. imran khan's one of the most recognizable faces of pakistan who's been a vocal critic of u.s. drone strikes and has insisted that dialogue with groups like the taliban is the way to achieve peace people do not want this xo judicial killing in the name of

drone attacks is hinted at better ties with neighbors including india and afghanistan in a positive relationship with the us based on what he calls mutual respect. imran khan's become the first former cricketer to have turned popular support into an election when. as he gets ready to fulfill his promise of the so-called new pakistan he faces major challenges including finishing his full five year term as because none of his predecessors remain in power long enough to complete their time in office some of the job it is their. turkey's credit ratings being lowered by two key agencies moody's and standard and poor's now say it's become more difficult for turkey to make payments on its debts the country's already being rocked by a financial crisis and sanctions from the united states are reports from new york. for the turkish lira it was a week that could not in soon enough he week that started with the lira sliding to a record low of seven point two against the us dollar the currency has lost nearly

forty percent of its value against the dollar this year alone as a full fledged economic crisis continues to simmer the trumpet ministration this week threaten to impose additional economic sanctions on turkey over the country's continued house arrest of a u.s. pastor on terrorism charges the diplomatic standoff led trump on friday to again say sanctions are justified turkey has in my opinion acted very very badly so we haven't seen the last of that we are not going to take it sitting down they can take our face but some analysts say the u.s. is being overly aggressive with the sanctions and use them to march and use them to recklessly if you don't have allies on board when you use the. you erode their effect of this over time however there are some signs of potential relief on wednesday qatar's emir tahmima bin hamad out funny visited ankara bringing with him

promises of an investment package worth fifteen billion dollars that money will mainly be injected into turkey's financial markets and banks turkey also promised to inject more money into the economy here on wall street they're watching the events in turkey very closely but most analysts say they have not seen any significant signs yet that events there are objecting the u.s. stock market but elsewhere that's not the case markets in asia remain mixed and european stocks were mostly down primarily because many european countries remain heavily exposed to turkey's debt while the list of grievances between these two nato allies is substantial this crisis ultimately boils down to a battle of wills between two leader. there's the big question now which one of them will blink first until then how far will the lira fall in the mean time

gabriel is on to al-jazeera new york. out of sight and as a national security and foreign policy analyst he says turkey's economy doesn't stand a chance against u.s. sanctions the vast majority not if not all of the civilized world banking and trade sort of transactions go through one and one and only sort of transactional route and that's new york that's american transactional routes if the united states decides what sanctions on those which control the vast majority of the banking transactions world. turkey doesn't stand a chance now you can get some direct investment from qatar it's being get some direct investment from other sovereigns but again your banking system is beholden rely and also the and on american watching american is even a broken clock is right twice a day american president president trump would always falls flaws and problems and

stability he's right about this case president carter gone it's checkers act to correct those maneuvers needs to come back to the western allies turkey sovereign has kept turkey prosperous a lot kept turkey away from a lot of threats facing east and north and east to palestinian protesters have been killed and two hundred seventy people have been wounded in demonstrations to the gaza israel border fence palestinians have been staging protests every frighting since march the demanding a right to return to ancestral lands that they say their families were forced to leave they also want an end to the israeli blockade of the gaza strip. the united nations says more money and un personnel should be used to protect civilians in gaza and other palestinian territories the un secretary general has been asked to look for ways to shield palestinians from what's being described as excessive and indiscriminate force by the israeli military also in jordan has more from the united nations. the u.n.

general assembly ordered the secretary general and tonio good tenors to come up with the report of recommendations so that there could be new ways or perhaps a reinforcement of old ways of protecting palestinian civilians in the ongoing dispute with the israeli government the recommendations for coming from the secretary general are for the first would be increasing the number of you would personnel in the occupied palestinian territories in order to help palestinian civilians improve their quality of life the second recommendation is essentially more money for u.n. and other governmental organization programs to improve health care education and the economy in the occupied territories the last two recommendations from a terrorist would need a security council resolution and indorsement before either could be employed wud deploy an observer mission that could also act as local bt interest to keep the

israeli military and policy of protesters for of getting into an all out conflict the final would be a deployment of perhaps a peacekeeper force an armed force as the document calls it in order to basically make certain that these two sides don't come into any clashes and that people are killed or injured as a result those last two would be very difficult to get into doors but from the security council without considerable debate and to go see a ship and because the u.s. president donald trump has been very vigorous in its defense of israel's right to protect itself it is likely that should a resolution even be to go see it that the u.s. would veto such a measure essentially putting this whole proposal into the waistband but because the u.n. general assembly decided to debate the matter and to have a good tears take a fresh look at the ongoing crisis in israel and the palestinian territories it is

certainly something that's going to lead to at least a new round of discussion in the u.n. security council. still ahead a knowledge of zero the move by the trumpet ministration that some say signals are u.s. withdrawal from the syrian conflict. the polls women boys their fury over a proposed law they say will reduce them to second class citizens. hello there we've got lots of showers around the black sea again they've been plaguing us for past few weeks and there's still more of them as we head through saturday and sunday you see them they stretch from the black sea across towards the caspian sea and some of them have been rather heavy more of them are expected as we head through sunday away from there it's largely fine and dry with beirut up at
