12:03 am
in my life. whatever the result of the vote, i will come out stronger. there has been a foreign conspiracy against me like a polarizing figure who is both loved and node in pakistan. he was the favorite candidate of many 1st time voters. the youth, as hon, calls them, ah, it's a boat is disrupted, tradition and politics in the last few years with their energy and aggressive social media presence. the 69 year old politician promised to build a new pakistan, create millions of jobs in homes, undertake ambitious reforms of taxes and bureaucracy, and root of corruption. but instead he faced public anger because a soaring and fashion plummeting groupie and crippling debt. he also had to backtrack from his pleasures not to seek help from the international monetary fund . instead, his government asked for a $6000000000.00 rescue bill out from the i m f, and also took loans from saudi arabia, china. despite a track record of establishing a hospital and a university, his detractors say he failed to deliver on his promises to his credit, eminent hon,

12:05 am
b has not been without controversy. i'm glad the say i am a prime minister of you jones. only an idiot doesn't do any newton's. it's widely believed that han fell out of favor with pakistan's powerful military establishment. after failing to deliver this malign rockman and who opposition politicians who called him a selected prime minister use the military's neutral role as a significant behind the scenes blair to reclaim members of parliament who were poached by him and hans party bacchus on there. he can serve up once again. another leader in pakistan is out. no prime minister has completed 5 years in office since 1947. tyesha de occurs a senior fellow department of war studies at kings college london and joins us live now. are you surprised that perhaps m o con didn't resign? but before this, before this vote took place, the suggestion is that it was
12:06 am
a foregone conclusion. and perhaps you might step aside to sort of avoid the humiliation of it. no, i wasn't surprised that he didn't resign. this is where we're headed and he was so hell bent on as he claimed, fighting to the last ball. but what was, what was very clear, especially after the supreme court decision, that he will have to go because supreme court allowed today before midnight, strike of midnight for a no conference vote the session to take place at no cost in the boat to take place, which it was you would be gunston and wrong call made it clear that he would not accept the results of this vote. how is he going to challenge it? i suppose that's what he was building to was it. i mean, i would say that for the last $1015.00 days, that's exactly what he was doing, preparing his constituents preparing his constituency can preparing the supporters
12:07 am
towards support towards next elections, election, victory or, or possibility for next victory. next election is what i was looking at. he was building the narrative off himself. a brave man is the only one who stood up to the united states, the only one who stood up, the military as the only one who speaks truth. so it was building on the narrative and this is what he will do. he will challenge the opposition and he will incite us, the porters and the largest support base in order to jogging the political opposition. what effect is that likely to have on the country which is already dealing with a number of crises and is also very polarized. you know, one of the legacies him wrong cons, leaving legacy is full, right? the way he is not only polarize the country and his id, he's also made a bunch,
12:08 am
often a bulk of us very abusive, very angry and very agitated. not that in itself is dangerous, and this is precisely what the opposition leaders said to do. shabbat sharif was likely to become be elected. the prime minister, he said, were not to take revenge, but no rule of law will be followed, which means that he was trying to call nerves down of a lot of people who are anxious with hon. and who are anxious not. but i think what i, what i hope is that the opposition and iran on realizes that there is a need for pocket thoughts to have more pieces. stability for nerds to come down and not result in education. from what i heard that b t i is planning to do education in a number of countries and you know, he will, he will incite people against political parties. other political body
12:09 am
shop, boss sharif, is expected now to lead an interim government. he is the brother of the jail from leader of that party. now is how quickly will he be able to, how quickly we like to like you to see elections because he has also spoken of that being some sort of electoral reform now? well, what do you mean by like for reform? is that on the wrong calm that off the bill allowing expect focused on these around the world to be given the right to vote. i think that will have to go because no laws are formed around it. and you know, voting rights through expired ox, donny will benefit of iran con, and this is what they will probably do. a few more changes. i'm probably looking at 6 months to a year, but more likely 6 months is saying that your hope is for iran con and the
12:10 am
opposition to tone down that rhetoric and recognize the need for calm and healing in the country. but there's been some very strong remarks from enron con, he claims that this is all part of a plot to oust him from power. now that he has lost his no confidence motion, will that strengthen the perception and claim of foreign interference in the countries affairs? well firstly, there was never any truth in the story about a conspiracy and especially an american conspiracy. this was a communicate sent from our box on the back or in washington saying that they were uncomfortable. the, the vital government was uncomfortable with iran calm because this was the nature of relations between him wrong. com and vice president biden. the not been making phone calls and not been communicating,
12:11 am
and the world didn't take him seriously either. link biden is not the only one. so that conspiracy, but i think his, he will be able to sell this narrative to his supporter. that is important deal build on it further. but i think we have to go past that and a corner has to be done. the other thing which i think the fact he will have is narrative will have, will be on general barge was capacity to move forward in improving relations with both united states and also with india. so what could this mean then? what are the implications for, for park as dawns relationship with the west? because one of the things we've seen in recent months is that particularly close tension. the relationship with washington is this move towards countries like russia and china. well focused on itself is not of primary
12:12 am
importance of united states, but united states would certainly want to keep focused on, on its side, not in the so called within the bid in inverted commas, enemy count up. but what iran con, we'll try to do is create struggle builder narrative and, and a popular narrative for the man on the street. and, you know, develop those kind of emotions and bullet politics. which makes me realize that they cannot go beyond a certain point in, you know, in appeasing the united states or making peace with india. that's the 2 important issues yet. but i think from the american perspective, it is now, you know, let's move forward in non con, who had you know, issues but united states is no longer there. and let's talk peace. and let's have
12:13 am
communication through which we can normalize relations a bit more. but i don't see pockets on getting huge resources. it's going to be a normal relationship between a country which is no longer a significant state for united states. dr. ayesha a d q from king's college london. thank you. thank you. so come hider is lifeless in his long bodies, and following these developments, he joins us now and perhaps come all, it's just worth reflecting on how and why prime minister in ron con, with quite the groundswell of support in the country, was unable to defeat the opposition. in parliament tonight. well, you have to look at the fact that under to go to 63, flor crocheting was a controversial subject. however, m ron cons own party loyalists,
12:14 am
decided to jump ship. they decided to join the opposition member on on of course that killed them. the opposition of massive corruption that did not something which is new and bug or sunny politic, focused on the politic, had seen horse trading and apart. so there was some reason for him. ron con, to a cute position of buying the loyalty of some of which party workers he id id president of gosh, i move the motion and the supreme court to clarify the point as to read the article 63, which was against flor crossing would be applied and that the members of do their particular members who had joined, where they all position would be disqualified for life through the election commission. and so the opposition were also vague for not to include the war of some of the center to a left, a p, d. david able to break away a major political party, the m q. m, which was
12:15 am
a loyalist of the government. they decided to join the opposition id 11 daw, and also a party and just on which reached a legion so they were definitely a lot at player. one role has to understand, ron khan, who came with a popular ward, had the highest number of seats and parliament, the highest number of ward for a single body. he inherited an economy which was on the brink of collapse which forced him to go to the method you saw. i know tom, i've been job that i bought also important to know, daddy inherited the traces emanating from the go weird. 19 pandemic. they took a board decision or 2 lowered down the country, one a claim for that move, which was unable to keep the economy at least surviving. so he, of course, will claim that there was sebo dodge, that there was no foreign power. busy and now you so i sure did go show pertaining
12:16 am
to the fact something that we've been talking about that the narrative em, ron honda granger take to have kept board, will be that there was indeed a foreign conspiracy. and that of course, really says so he's already guard paperless up orders to come out after the night pressure and focus on all over the country green to lead some sort of a rally. also important to see what kind of action the new government bridge will be. formed on monday will try to take to curtail and broad street power and whether they will be successful. but one thing quite certain. there will be political uncertainty, although there is relief in buckets on. there is a major crisis. the constitutional crisis has been awarded for now. come, always speaking about a political crisis constitutional crisis, but i suppose if you speak in many pockets, donnie, they'll say the biggest problem in the country right now is the rising cost of food
12:17 am
and basic items. the country suffering from, i think one of the worst, inflation crises in asia. and now how, how is always going to affect those people and a quality of life? well 1st thing you have to understand that the new government will inherit a lot of problems, particularly on the economic front because they've been inflation in reston country . they've read the high price of oil because of the crisis in ukraine. they're also biting into that fact. so it will be important to clear that although. busy will be a new prime minister, although a prime minister, who is one of the members of one of the major bod days of a 9 party, a lines where the day will be able to solve the papers, problems where the day will be able to turn around the economy reduce price of
12:18 am
a century for commodities, but $1.00 must understand that it would not just the financial crisis alone and marana being able to go out by taking this not a day that day with the rest. and conspiracy of people across the country are buying died, so it will be now importer and the owner of responsibility, of course, will be on the shoulder of the opposition will now be in charge. there will be a new prime minister's job barsha 8th, but not to be forgotten that they were dear to face a god. on the 11th of god, they will be moved by the new illusion. government which is coming into play. the leader of the house will be jordan on monday and day of quadrillion headed many issues. the economic one which will be of great importance, whether they can perform any medical or try to alleviate the suffering of the people at large. that is going to be a huge challenge for the new government. thank you very much. come on,
12:19 am
reporting to us from as long as buys with the news ally from london, much more still to bring you those of closing gambia with a record number of candidates vying for parliamentary seats. and then later in sport, a slice of locked loose evidence, hopes of staying in the english premier league. ah. well, 2 developments in ukraine noun has been abused to that countries war f, a r new financial support for millions of ukrainians who fled to fighting global donors of promised billions of dollars to help those force from the huns. and the british prime minister made an unannounced visit to keith, offering more military and financial aid. or is johnson, how talks with president ultimate lensky in promised to prussia, russia with more sanctions, as well as moving away from using its oil and gas?
12:20 am
or so sir, to reports now from the capital, keith, more high level diplomatic visits to keith on saturday, yuki prime minister boys johnson and austria chancellor called me hummer, became the latest western leaders to was at the ukrainian president at the afterwards image that ascii welcomed european commission president or so i wonder liam and the blogs, foreign policy chief, joseph porto johnson, one of the most local critics off rushes invasion of ukraine. re 3 of his support for the country. and we will give you the support that you need, economic support, but also of course, the defense to military support in which i am proud to say that the u. k. helped to, to lead the way it belongs to some new armored vehicles, anti aircraft, anti pac me sales and perhaps most significantly anti ship miss our systems, those close, threatened rushes, large naval presence in the black sea. as embassies and political figures begin to
12:21 am
return to keep, the word to the construct is destroyed, the neighbourhood is ramping up. among them is the city of therapy. once home to 60000 people, the city was a front line in the battle between russia and ukraine, and forces heavily guarded on a visit to the area. the austrian chancellor told me he found the destruction difficult to take in middleton the sorrow, the quarter of the people, though crane with all the walk round, now fierce fighting continued here for over a mount. these bridge became a focal point as people followed the bombardment, ukrainian army sacrifice this bridge in order to hold the address of russian forces as they tried to encircle the capital. as a result, the city of european has been cut off from keep since the early days off the war.
12:22 am
now that the russian forces left a region a force or on the way to reconnect the 2 cities with a temporary bridge. this russian forces have withdrawn from the area foundations are being relayed and connections remains as the suburbs are linked again to the capital. so to keep reinforces is linked to the world resources that al jazeera european. meanwhile, ukrainian officials are urging civilians in the eastern region of law hands to immediately travel to safe areas wanting washers and massing forces for a new offensive residence of being evacuated from the city of come, a torso as far as strike on a railway station on friday. killed more than 50 people. ukraine says russia, 5 missiles at the station, while thousands of civilians are waiting to catch trains to safety. but russia insisted here was bind it. most of them don't know that from our city the train
12:23 am
hasn't been running for a long time. we can only evacuate by bus. it's impossible to live in the city because the water supplies intermittently. electricity is infrequent. shops are closed, communications don't work is like our mcgayden here. in other development, global donors of promised $11000000000.00 to support ukrainian refugees. and those has been internally displaced the money and now to a fundraising event, and was always made up of donations loans and grants from individuals and governments, including canada and the european commission. today, we are supporting millions of ukrainian refugees and people in need. above all, we are sending a message to every single ukrainian in the cities and villages under siege. a message of called to their brave ukrainian soldiers, heroes, defending their country from the aggressor. the are brothers and sisters, you are not alone. the member states are doing an outstanding job. it's phenomenal
12:24 am
. the n g o z are working on the ground, the communities, the local communities standing in receiving the refugees. but as i said, more is needed and any pledge will help a refugee here in the european union. but also this is so important. any pledge will help a person that is internally displayed, so lost their home because of the bumping and shelling of proteins. army within your crane. so let's take a look at where that money is going. then the n h c r says more than 4400000 ukrainians of now left and are living as refugees, 90 percent of them, women and children. on top of that, around 210000 people of different nationalities of last, including many students, some are having problems getting, getting back to their own countries. and then inside ukraine will than 7100000
12:25 am
people have been displaced. those numbers a likely to get worse as people flee violence in the eastern regions will be you and hcr spokesperson for poland says that people fleeing ukraine are going to need long term support. what we're seeing is still refugees from ukraine arriving at smaller numbers. we have, when you put it into perspective, we need to see that in early mass, up to 140000 people per day across the border. so it's really records numbers which we haven't seen and other records emergency. and now it will be in the 1000, so still significant all the volunteer organizations are many of them are still there, but it's already that we need to more a longer term perspective on them, but also on supporting the refugees when standpoint, because often they only spend
12:26 am
a few hours at the border and then they move on to major cities in actually what we'll come up. poland has really been so very and it's, it's probably something that should hurt capital for other classes of displacement and refugees of the region on. now, here in watson where i'm now and we think that may be roughly estimated one out of 10 people is a refugee. so we need to meet these people. accept accommodation they need is they can access to just to health care. so this is something really when you look in the prospective residence are returning to a chart and changed city in boucher russian forces have been accused of war crimes there since they left local police officers have been tasked with assisting
12:27 am
traumatized survivors. volunteers is sweeping up debris and removing what remains of destroy tanks. images of dead civilians left on the streets and mass graves caused an international outcry. the only thing they know is people dad's people with their hands die people, tortures murders and dis just breaks my heart and all. but i'm sure um i'm optimistic, i'm sure will rebuild the cd and i will make it even more beautiful than before. it with the news, our life from london to lead. we look at another milestone in space. this time, the arrival of the 1st private team of astronauts at the international space station and the lay transport tributes of pay to nfl quarterback, dwayne haskins, p. to love that story. ah

12:31 am
removed. iran con is prime minister l. a vote of no confidence after several delays . and supreme court challenge con is warned that he will not recognize an opposition if he was out from power plants to challenges. and he claims the us as leading a conspiracy to remove him. prime minister orest johnson has made an audit out visit ukraine, where he met with president rosie ms. lensky. he offered more military and financial aid and promised to pressure russia with more sanctions. and the united nations is saying there are now more than $4400000.00 ukranian refugees and millions more internally, displaced by donors of promised $11000000000.00 to support them at a fundraising event in war. so hosted by the european union when all the stories are following, tens of thousands of demonstrators is taken to the streets of the shrunken capital, colombo to monday, present, got by raja packs and resign. the biggest protest so far against the worst economic crisis in the country for more than 70 years,
12:32 am
people are struggling with shortages of food medicines and power costs. michelle fernandez reports on this now from colombo. angry, frustrated and desperate for justice around the president's office in colombo, under the eyes of the police, shalanda is facing its worst economic crisis in decades or saturday, the protesters kept coming. most of them young people in what's reported to be the biggest protest over the crisis to d. o public service. so we are here to say that always as needs to be heard and he needs to be respected. and his grades his needs though and no because it had gone up to the limit that to well be broke and obey any more. the crowds came from all of shalana as diverse communities. this course to reads give us stolen money back. and this is corrupt jewelers are playing with our future in recent weeks,
12:33 am
the price of essential goods rocketed and cooking gas and fuel became scarce. hawker last up to 30 hours economy see a massive drop in tourism revenue due to the east of bombing of 2019. and the pandemic, coupled with a loss of government revenue due to a major free election tax cut pro to blame. not as not in a foreign currency for the government to buy a central that's only by and me out of this crisis about the roger bunch of has to be removed from the positions and they normally be, i'd see some sort of a credible political stability in the country and political bid that wanted to go, the stability on the economy got sustainable to be big bill coming to the country. the government is requesting a bailout from the international monetary fund and also seeking financial assistance in india, china, and other friendly countries. the government has described demonstrators as
12:34 am
extremists, accusing them of being politically manipulated. while a very few may fit description, a vast majority of the thousands of protests that have turned up voluntarily. they say they want their futures back and go talk to roger, talk to and the government must go fernandez, just colombo will. the shrunken government is now seeking $3000000000.00 in aid to restore supplies of essential items in the country. basically we can restore the supply chain if we can provide these necessities on time, we can get our tourism back on track that will bring dollars in. we need to protect our export industry. we need to protect the supply chain. so if he can do that, i feel if he can, i mean the numbers i still been looked out, i just take a day or 2 ago her back
12:35 am
a rough figure is probably we need about 3000000000 infusion building the next 3 to 6 month dame now to 6 man for us to meaningfully come out of a more coverage of our top story. now analysis of the know conference site in pakistan's iran con. as prime minister, we can speak to michelle j. d. a senior fellow at the think tank to buy the law, but he is in his lama bar. he joins me on the phone. what was it the cause, the downfall of prime minister in ron con. why was he unable to win this vote or defeat the opposition? well, this wasn't the 1st vote of no confidence. rather go to palm names. we had to speak . we speak with mother rides, little bit of st. power, a little bit of political muscle. but it's never really gotten any traction on
12:36 am
thing until now. the last 2 weeks in the change in the town was a non cons relationship with the military military, i think by and large individual level and institutionally the traditional problem political families in august on i'd been unable to grow the country in the direction that aligned with the interest and non com is really supposed to be the solution to that log. the so called failure of the conditional parties. i didn't come in with no, no real preparation for office. and then having made many mistakes, the military continue to support con, because they didn't see that one thing. but it was the major gap between com and
12:37 am
the military issue will be point noun. and we intelligence. and that took place in about october. the 5 that been going on for a few months became more probably going to go for almost a month that still me essentially ended whatever trust there had been between the military and mister han and now ex and we've been speaking about so many different factors. the failure of the reform agenda, the high expectations of his premier ship and the way the opposition were able to unite against him. but as he say, military is a powerful force in the country and losing that support. we can in wrong cons, grip on power. now the expectation is that there will be an interim government led by shabazz sharif. but do you, do you rule out the possibility of being marshal or in a more direct intervention by the military and pakistani politics? because he's having 3 times in our country. i think we all kind of live mortal here
12:38 am
. the next place will be the one that kicked over to be fair then god the last time that i've been with tober $999.00 on it, sustained almost 22 year period in which it has not gone back to marson large military rule. i think what the military side to the ball into now being an anchor for public policy where government can come in and have to align with them on patients or on security foreign policy. i think this is a lot of sort of a model for buckets, but it's still that you get off the country over the last 2 to 3 weeks, including today was waiting for a verdict on the vote of no confidence. we're going to go. so i think that my class is the military, i'm paying because it continues to intervene. either expensive cars are being funny
12:39 am
politics that they have to carry the weight of failure dictates run the dimensions, reached critical mobs than the military. but it did not want to be anymore. so i think for a lot of us today is interesting because at least you know, the constitution wasn't violated again, there was no mosse of some sort of a generation. that's the big news. that's not a lot to pick home because at the end of the day, the time she's suffering from incredibly polarizing public discourse, along with an economic crisis of really epic proportions sheriff, they d, thank you very much showing from the bud lab and pepsi can catch up a bit, a bit later, almost appreciate your thoughts on the story. now, israel has imposed collective measures against palestinian habitants of janine in
12:40 am
the occupied west bank off to 2 of the areas residents carried out. attacks in israel followed, arrayed in the town during which policy a man was shot dead and it doesn't and more were injured. refugee camp. patterson is considered jeanina stronghold for resistance to israeli occupation. under the new measures it's residence and had the movements tightly restricted. the abdel, how mean has more on the israeli government and restrictions? and there's a series of measures that were issued by the basically disraeli authority in the occupied was bang. those measures include, for example, for bidding merchant and business. many people from the junior area to cross into israel another. another thing is that 5000 permits were revoked. those permits were granted cheap ballast indians during this month of ramadan. so they could visit their families inside israel. well,
12:41 am
no more of that either. and then it seems that there's also no transfer of project agriculture projects from that janine area. so certainly clamping down on jeanine id already the checkpoints, the 2 major crossings for people living in that area. do i'm in the north and south have been closed down. the only little cabinet you have is that daily laborers will still be allowed to come into israel to work as long as they can, but they will have the most most stringent security measures. now i seniors obviously slammed these measure says that that, that tant amounts basically a t collective punishment about israel. it seems to be standing firm, especially after that, that tac, yesterday. the problem is to have said that he's lifting all restrictions on security forces been basically giving them the green light to do what ever they
12:42 am
