ship ships. electron, the stock market has gained 1700 points and one b. the rupees fall has stopped. but he still has a lot of work to do in getting the economy to function again. and many shows do predate and run comp, but iran cons. greatest problem was that he was not an administrator. he was not interested in governance in, in government. he behaved like the opposition only criticizing his predecessors in wrong con will not be relevant, but he will be a destructor. that is what he was in the beginning. the army put it behind it, which enabled him getting the government, but as a ruler, he proved to be a destructor. again and towards the end, he really tried to blow up the house. he destroyed the leisure, tried to destroy the relation to be the united states by making allegations that he could not substantiate that the americans had any role in them or not confident

opposition talked about. he again went to pull arising, the people on the basis of those who support me are good and those what against me are evil, and then lashed out against the military, which had stopped supporting him working in politics. it's a good thing that the military backs away from politics, but that does not want to support us feel right now. so his disruption will continue. will here really be a force that will actually be able to exercise much influence in parliamentary politics or will transform pakistan in a better direction? i think that that opportunity has already escaped his hands still ahead on al jazeera, we'll have more on ukraine. un security council has that rape is being used as a weapon of war in the world, one country. thus, i'm alan fisher in washington, dc, the unmarked and almost untrue civil and know, the bike white house is doing something about the problem of so called ghost guns.

tackle the rising cost of living. now, major gold shoe, i'm counting on all french voters. i'm counting on their lucidity. i'm counting on their intelligent order. i'm counting on their ability to realize of us that we cannot continue for another 5 years back in this situation of 5 years in which emanuel micron, if he were very ledford, would feel totally free to go through with the policy of self destruction that he started during his 1st term, up through the loss of our country, sovereignty for the benefit of a few and to the detriment of the majority when there's rarely army has arrested at 14 palestinians around gen in the occupied west bank. the raids follow a series of gun battles and arrests in the city. hundreds of people took part in the funeral of palestinian teenager. he died overnight one day or 2, being shot by israeli forces. tensions in the occupied westbank had been rising after a series of attacks in israel killed 14 people in the last 3 weeks,

a political liability for the democrats. but it's almost certainly going to be opposed by those who see it as an attack on the 2nd amendment of the constitution, the right to bear arms. and therefore, it's almost certainly going to end up in the courts. our fisher al jazeera at the white house indigenous tribes from across brazil are demonstrating in the capitol against a new law that would allow mining on their land. politicians who support present shibel sanara have a fast track the bill, meaning it can be put to a full vote without committee hearings. when a cut in a kid reports from besedia. so 7000 representatives of 200000000 indigenous tribes have gathered here in brazil yet to protest against bit controversial legislation which would open their territories to mining companies. now here they are all painted in yellow as if they were illegal gold miners and red,
