no pakistan's, former prime minister iran con is expected to address the media very shortly. for the 1st time since he was wounded and a gun attack on thursday, it comes as con supporters are rallying across the country. his pizza party is accusing prime minister abbas sharif the interior minister, and the head of the intelligence services of attempting an assassination. the government is denying involvement for more. let's now bring come our hider in. he's on the ground for us in islamabad. commodities we've been saying we're expecting to hear from con any minute now. but his body is already holds people to take to the streets, and they are absolutely that denouncement from the party came yesterday after that a nation at time done to form a prime minister of the party saying that day will be pro debts now across the country. until their demands of the p d, i with j or a fed and fee election immediately or accepted. and since we've had protests and
4:03 pm
the type of book while province, andy proven self to fun job. and we're also getting reports or data protests in karachi where the police had to use tear gas and bad cons. i head in islamabad rather just a little while ago, the police force in order to do a heavy shilling. you didn't get shares, excuse me, to disperse the crowd. there were several 100 supporters. the gathering would not very large. a lot of people are now waiting to see what im, ron con, said e a. c will be announcing his policy or what happens next. and whether this project will continue across the country, along with that long march, would you determined to continue it? and then on the 7 day of that, your mazda destination or demco place, i've got a deep reservations about the government was enough thing. people to believe that
4:04 pm
they were there decoy. you did this a guy that they were monitored or at least more than one for shaw, who also fired automatic bullets at that particular container on where jim ron conway, standing, the buckets on the prime minister. on the other hand, i scored a meeting. well, there's key for a listen partners. they're likely to stick today. gotten saying that there will be no immediate blindfolding elections. and it will be interesting to see how m ron con. i respond by addressing the nation today. come all, as you alluded to, the lots of speculation about just what happened, how far away from actually understanding what did happen, where we've been able to piece together the situation. first of all we saw and diag radio. the final moments friend dad, dad took place. the camera was focused on the container. we heard director of
4:05 pm
gotten fire automatic gunfire that appeared to be an ard drive, but then we saw the crowd trying to overpower a man with a hand gun. and one of those, a supporter of date focused on teddy. again, stop voiding. that guy who then tried to run away, and then more shots will fly in which one of the subordinate of the buggers on dead . he can solve for skin. we've been told by a party, a leader that the bullet gates is found at the scene in 2 days, $7.00, that would be a collect sniggle. that good news. and so they're not rolling out that they were a number of a dagger. and a question mark being raised about the fact that just 15 minutes after that the dag a man appeared on state, gave me that bugger on the television network and not their networks. confessing to the fact that he, initially he said, i've got a demand and he said,
4:06 pm
i shot that demand. and the suspicions that i ruined by the fact that budgets on state television and the government had been centering the media, a number of journalists have fled the country. many have been arrested on the avalanche, georgia. so there's a clam down on the media. people question as to how state devi or run that confession despite the fact that it takes meticulous work investigation to come to a conclusion before any detail are di was so question marks as to what was the motive behind running that radio. so, close to after the attack on the former prime minister. and of course not everybody headed, willing to believe the government was and of what transpired down particular night . plenty of competing narratives come all hide are there on the ground for us in as i'm about with all the laces. thank you. come off. well, joining me now from the hall is how much other the secretary general the punjab provinces pakistan to, to reach in south party. that's him on cons,
4:07 pm
party amount of thank you for your time. i want to start by asking you about what we've been hearing from your party, that this was a planned assassination attempt by senior figures in the government. what evidence do you have that that's the case. well, since the government has come in is coming under very mysterious circumstances. you know that as there was a cipher from from the u. s. diplomat threatening authorities in bog as time to replace iran, you otherwise able to be di, consequences then up picked up. there was a clamped down on media, the number one anchor that was very vocal against us getting for gene was killed in under mysterious circumstances. the workers came to be a mistake by the canyon police and now this attack. and the reason why we are saying that this is a part of a conspiracy, is that iran himself, on 24th september in a valley. and in a, in it's in anybody's address,
4:08 pm
claimed that there was going to be an attack on his life. and attack was going to be labeled as one by a really just phonetic, so as to rule out any with a conspiracy. so we've been my party, my, my colleagues, we've been harassed and we've been changed and we've been an up like you work have been picked up on multiple occasions by this coming to gene. and now this attacks comes forth, which was entirely predicted in it's gripped by wrong on. so it's, and the, and the way it has handle, i mean, it has very accurately described it. that as soon as they're attacked the police, we saw the killer come out within a few minutes with the confession and seeming to have done it and really just guns . and then once the, there was a lot of forward and there was a fraud in the police has been over the reviews of this video, confession of the killer. we saw another video after a few odds of by the theme guy claiming some different so. so all of this is
4:09 pm
happening on the very mysterious and suspicious circumstances, as has been the case of many other events that have occurred in buckets done in the last 6 months. so we do feel that this is all coming from the same string of events, not just a couple of hours ago. i spoke to maria serrano from the pakistan people's party, which isn't really coalition. and she questioned why mister condom take more precautions if he felt under threat. what would you say to her when there was a security guard in around iran, under multiple security guards, that he was on top of a container that was moving with, with gods on around. so it's not that there was no reaction to and i think that this was a plan this afternoon, should attempt to skip the flood and it was gainfully executed. we do have reason to believe that there was more than one shooter and the shooter that was actually, might have been the goal for the covered up and to, you know,
4:10 pm
to normalize the assassination by giving it a religious fanaticism element. but we don't think that that is the case. well, you've called your party has called for people to take to the streets. we've seen people do that. we've also already seen tear gas as commodity to, to what is your message to these crowds? well, the messages, but if we, if i think civil supremacy and fox 24 additions have unblocked, they have been asked to have a big box on the political parties have been more did they have been created. they have been divided over the fledgling democracy has suffered from these setbacks. and now this is the time when all lines have been crossed. and iran right now is beyond any doubt the most popular need to focus on right now. and i don't just say that because i'm from his body, we have to decent by elections, major bi election, which iran swept by a landslide victory to give credence to this game. so i do feel that
4:11 pm
box on this, this with attack and vote for the democracy proposed for the people. it's very important that their voice be heard and they determine who will be the next government who will be the next to it should not happen in closed rooms. it should be by the board of the people, the people you know, they need to decide. they need to have the site who will come out as are there the secretary general of punjab provinces, pakistan to rick in south party. thank you so much for your time. so thank you for joining us now to 0. thank you. what has on khan is a journalist who is placed in as i'm about. and he says in ron con, has yet to provide any evidence to back up. his allegations against those senior government officials is to our lead to the country family, interior minister in its union military officer. but you know, what it's doing is, are living casing the capital out of this and despite the fact
4:12 pm
that the government, the province, we have this happen that is ruled by the party and hug, intent is responsible for, for the goal. and you can, that's key because he was part of a from the federal capital. but you know, because of the action by mister han and that he has a use the prime minister. actually they get minister and accusing them of targeting him in a really interesting part is the accumulated up from the job in the senator. and so when did because he had it on conway and this happening with the other to me anything. so i think so monkey nothing,
4:13 pm
it's clear. so for now moving on and the russian president says that civilians should be evacuated from ukraine's custom region. as caves troops push further south. so persian made those comments as he marked russia's national, dave unity on friday. it's his 1st acknowledgment of just how volatile the battle song has become. ukrainian forces have been advancing towards the town. now for weeks. the russian army says more than 5000 civilians are now being evacuation every day. q for its part is describing those moves as deportation, or let's speak to harry forth that he is in tears for us. how are you? can you talk us through what's behind the sense of urgency? we're saying now? well i think a lot of people are looking for the answer to that question and it's not really clear at the moment. what is clear is that as you say, this is the 1st time that that him put him in himself, has made these sorts of comments about civilian evacuation from her son, something we've been hearing from other military and local install. russian
4:14 pm
government officials are in this area which they have her annexed and claimed for themselves and occupied. or what couldn't said was that civilians should be taken out of the zone of the most dangerous action and that they should not suffer. as a result of the fighting at one of the a civilian russian installed official officials, they're on thursday, was talking about potential military withdrawal across that me, per river. or to the side to the eastern side where the preponderance of russian forces remain at. so the other side of the river from the main city of her son, although he seemed to walk that back somewhat in another interview, saying that he hoped that would not happen. as for the ukrainian military or a spokesperson for the ukrainian military in the south of the country near by saying this could all be a provocation, designed to try to draw ukrainian troops into her son and potentially into bloody st. battles there. certainly for all the talk of withdraw ukrainian intelligence
4:15 pm
has been talking about reinforcements of russian troops inside her son as well. so this is extremely unclear. there's been a push 1st on that's been going on by the ukrainians since august are partly that was used at to make it easier for them to to have advances in the northeast around the hockey area. but again, the focus is very much on her son, but there's a news black out there from the ukrainian side, all of these competing narratives. it's very difficult to know what precisely is going on. hi, 4th and far life ref on care with all the letter. thank you very much. hi. now german chancellor le sholtes has called on china 2 years its influence on russia. presentation being acknowledged that beijing has an important role to play and piece talks in ukraine. and also warned against the use of nuclear weapons. and the complex that we made, the comments during schultz visit to beijing, the 1st by g 7 data since the start of the pandemic. he's been holding talks with
4:16 pm
president she on economic cooperation. he also commented on the war and ukraine saying the truly it is agreed that nuclear threats were unacceptable. and patrick fog has more now from beijing. when remarks made to premier league a chang which were no doubt directed also at his critics a back home and elsewhere in europe. germany, chancellor said that it was clear neither germany nor china were fans of decoupling . but he said that reciprocity was key and there was important the both sides had the same sort of investment access. you also said that was important for both countries to avoid dependence. remember, there have been a lot of voices in berlin saying that said germany needs to reduce reliance on autocracies like china, particularly falling rushes invasion of ukraine. but the reality is, germany is facing some severe economic headwinds record, high inflation looming recession no love. sholtes is certainly of the view that's a corporation with the world's 2nd largest economy is necessary, like it's or not. earlier in the day, you also met with president,
4:17 pm
she jumping present. she said that the trip would help build mutual trust between the countries. and he also said that cooperation was important and these times of quote, chaos and change for him. this is certainly seen as a big wind coming shortly after he secured a historic 3rd term. as a china's leader with many am, it's saying that this helps legitimize his power grab and his new government. while business relations between the 2 countries run deep involving some of the other biggest companies, china has been germany's largest trading partner for the past 6 years. and volume of business accounts for almost 30 percent of the title trade between beijing and the european union. the use biggest foreign investment into china also comes from germany. the 3 largest con manufacturers and a chemical group account for 34 percent of it. and around $6000.00 german companies operating in china, they mainly and mechanical, electrical and transport, manufacturing sectors. lady i spoke to andrew small, he's
4:18 pm
a senior transatlantic fellow with the german marshall funds asian program. and he says the u. s. and european governments have questions about this trip. i think the criticism from other european allies and to a certain extent from washington as well, has been that this has been a trip, looked a bit too much like business as usual. it was not particularly well coordinated with other european partners in particular ahead of time shorts did send his top foreign policy adviser to washington to make sure that some of the messages were straight on this. and, but i, i think this is looked like a very germany centric visit in, notwithstanding the fact that i think it's understood on the us side and among other european leaders as well. that some of these messages did need to be sent. but did the visit need to send this kind of symbolic demonstration with the companies that were going this, the deepening economic ties was really still a priority and didn't need to come so soon after party congress, which did look like something of a political endorsement. i think those have been the still still the questions from
4:19 pm
the us side and, and from, from other european heads of government to there's still plenty more had few the things out, including twitter, employee on fridays unemployed by saturday. the social media giant science math layoffs leaving thousands locked out of their job. and houston astros are closing in on the wild theory of title and he has the option for you in court. with south korea's military has deployed fighter jets after detecting around a 118 north korean war plains near its border. it comes after a series of myths. our launch has by chung from mcbride, has the latest from south korea's capital. so a lot of military aircraft activity happening, the length of the korean peninsula, they're both north and south. the south korean military have announced that during the day from late morning local time through to mid afternoon. here they have been
4:20 pm
detecting flights by around 180, a military aircraft, of different types in north korea right across the, at the breadth of the north korean part of the peninsula. but some of those aircraft movements have been close enough to the dmc that separate the 2 korea to i triggered the scrambling of its own south korean jets in response as a precaution. so they have announced that said during that the day they have a scramble, the total of 80 craft, they're taking to the air among them, the latest f, $35.00 fighter jets. now it, all of this activity from north korea seems to be in direct response to ad drills, which have been taking place jointly between south career and us air force. it's all week involving some 240 military aircraft. this is enraged at the north as it often does these joint military exercises. while these,
4:21 pm
these fresh tensions come as south korea defense minister is on a visit to the united states. chunks of lee met defense secretary lloyd austin on thursday. and i'm now joined by our white house correspondent can be how could can be what do we now hearing from washington. yes, some very tough words coming out of washington as a result of that meeting. in fact, a joint communicate saying that any attack against the united states as allies and partners, including the use of non strategic nuclear weapons, is unacceptable and will result in the end of the kim regime. now, as my colleague robert pride has been talking about there, obviously there have been words come out of washington in recent days that have clearly upset kim jong and the north korean leader. but these are some of the strongest words yet prompting some of those missile tests. now what i can tell you is this latest statement to come out of washington. really underscores a long standing policy that has been in place in the united states with respect to
4:22 pm
its allies and its relationship with north korea. the defense of north korea. and it cannot be, underscore, it has been reiterated a number of times most recently by the secretary of defense, lloyd austin, that the united states would come to its defense number of capabilities in ways whether it be through nuclear capabilities, whether it be through mis. i'll tape abilities, but this is clearly a position of the by an administration. now, we should also point out that the biden administration plan to take things even a step further. it plan to step up those joint military exercises that have been taking place on the peninsula. these are exercises that have been taking place for some time, but the scale is expected to get even greater given the threats and seems to be escalating whitehouse corresponding, kimberly. how could they with that response. thank you very much. kimberly, while meanwhile, around the president has responded to comments by his
4:23 pm
u. s. counterpart, joe biden, pledging to free iran. abraham racy says his country was freed by the 1979 islamic revolution. he made the remarks in the speech on the 14th that on a vast 3 of the day that a group of iranian students stormed the u. s. embassy in tehran. they held a number of people then hostage for 444 days leaving on some staff members at twitter say they've already been locked out of their work. email accounts, as a mass lay off is underway at the company. but in a mosque acquired the social media platform just last week, and now the company is facing a class action lawsuit from some former employees who say they weren't given enough notice under federal law that they had lost their jobs. about 7500 people worked for the company based in san francisco and mosque has indicated he may fire around half of the workforce. well, let's bring in crystal walker. he's a technology john, and he joins us now from newcastle in the united kingdom. and chris firing off your workforce sounds not any like a pretty drastic move, but
4:24 pm
a desperate one to what is actually the state of twitter and its finances. well, the twitter has never necessarily been a particularly well run company. it often be losing money and ill on mass cars by all accounts, over paid for what he's bought. he bought it for $44000000000.00 at $54.20 a share at the time that he made that offer. it was a significant increase on what the share price was being traded up. so i think what we see here is an element of utah must trying to call back some of that loss that he's making. and also probably also reshape twitter in his own image. say that it's never been to take a while run company, could we potentially now see twitter going offline? do you think? i don't think it will ever go offline, although it is certainly in a very tumultuous situation on most kinds. his own vision for twitter should be in it is significantly different from that, which is pretty disaster of this, of hard. so i think that we're in this would phase right now where he's essentially
4:25 pm
cutting the company in deciding to undergo, suppose some short term pain in order for what he hopes is going to be a long term game. but the real issue is whether or not that's actually going to happen. i've seen 3rd party data that estimates that 875000 uses had voluntarily left twitter over the last few days since he took over. and that has a huge impact. it means that this site is less meaningful, less important for lots of people, including advertises as well. but now they will also presumably be only half the people to do the same amount of work rise, all that concerns perhaps about what pays conditions and culture. some people already told about suing. yeah, huge concerns about this m. we know that eli mosque has been a hard driver all his employees in the short time that he's taken him. i've seen pictures on social media, people sleeping on the floor in the offices because they think that they have to try and fight for their jobs in order to do this. and the way that he is,
4:26 pm
let people go is not necessarily by having a meeting with them and telling them that they will be disappeared. it's that they've actually just realized they can't access their work laptops or their work email and assume therefore they're no longer needed. and this does have an impact not only on company culture. i mean, i don't think i'd like to working twitter right now, is one of those who remain there almost as unlucky as those who lose their jobs, but it has an impact on all of us uses as well. because there's now half a number of employees to look after us and to more to what is said and to make sure that there is nothing nefarious going on. i still have nefarious at now talk about masks, plans related to some of them. as i was a talk about making it the pe platform speculation about some twitter use as one in particular being reinstated. what in your mind lies ahead here. but we know that he must get a free speech shops the least us. and by that we assume that he means he wants people of all political persuasions to be allowed back onto the platform. it is
4:27 pm
worth noting that he says he won't make a decision on anybody who has previously been banned from twitter. and that big name that you mentioned, i think is probably donald j. trump. former president of the united states won't make any decision on any of those people for a few weeks. so that does mean after the upcoming, the us elections that off to you next week. but after that, i think it will be significant. we know that he believes that twitter has been over exuberant in the past in tackling hate speak to people who maybe hold opposite political beliefs to most others and things. and actually they sometimes been unjustly ban. so he wants to remedy that. he said, he's going to introduce a sort of content, moderation, council of people who you will, quiz in order to decide what should be, what shouldn't be acceptable speech. and that will be drawn from all sorts of political realms of the world. but with that, that means you also get some pretty extreme unpalatable leafs. this is
4:28 pm
a huge concern because ultimately twitter is it's use of x that relies on them to feel comfortable to shatter. and if they don't feel comfortable to share illness appear, while we'll see how they respond to all this change, that's a foot crystal walker, they're speaking to us from the u. k. thank you so much. chris now and pollution and new delhi is soaring to dangerous levels, sparing calls to shut schools in the indian capital. 50 percent of government officials have also now been asked to work from home alexander buyers reports. this is what hazardous air pollution looks like. the 20000000 residents of new delhi, our breathing, smog. some of the cities, most famous sites, now hidden in some areas, levels of pollution are nearly 40 times the maximum recommended by the world health organization. it go to them, go to go to court. i feel a shortage of oxygen in the plants. trees are dying. there's no greenery in the
4:29 pm
pollution levels. very high. the government's asking people to stay inside diesel cars and trucks are banned from entering the capital. construction has been stopped in some factories close. the government's announced primary schools will be shut from saturday, following calls from parents and other groups, bigger profile aggregate. but when we wake up in the morning, we feel that we should not send our children to school. the conditions are so bad that when we go to our balcony, we feel difficulty in breathing, but a lot of her new dolly is the world's most polluted capital. one study found more than 17000 death in 2019. were linked to air pollution. every winter it's blanketed in smog as cold, heavy air traps, dust and pollution. another major cause is crop burning by farmers in the neighboring states of punjab and haryana. a problem that's often politicized with
4:30 pm
opposition parties seizing on who is to blame, but are leaking from us back awesome. out on the issue, stubble, burning can be resolved by assisting the farmers. no, but cussing them the central government in india's ruling birth, tiered to not a party should apologize to the pharmacist set of blaming them. they should also apologize to the residence of delhi, the chief ministers of punjab and deli, say they're doing all they can to tackle pollution, but are calling on federal and state governments to work together. prime minister in a rend ramadi has said india will aim to stop emitting greenhouse gases by 2070. that's 2 decades later than a goal adopted by the u. s. and at least 10 years later than china. back in the city, this smog is expected to last for days, and more emergency measures are planned. but without major changes, the millions of people who live there will have little choice, but to adapt to what's fast becoming

4:35 pm
just how volatile the battle for her phone has become. german chancellor, earl of schultz, has called on china to use its influence on russia. schultz is the 1st g 70 that visit basing since the start of the pandemic. he's been holding talks with president, she's in being on economic cooperation now 22 greenland. the children were taken to denmark's capital copenhagen for a social experiment 70 years ago. today, only 6 of them are alive and they're still seeking answers as to why they were forced to take part in the project. hush, marlboro spoke to one of them. helena thiessen spencer all was recalling the past. her childhood memories are vivid. she still remembers where the 2 men came to take her from her little house. you knew the capital of greenland 70 years ago. she was taken to a ship preparing to say for a long journey to denmark, why should i go up that leave my mother?
4:36 pm
why didn't my mother sat yesterday that i feared me so lonely and when we could it's a bit i have every night or shy. helena was among 22 and knew what children chosen for a social experiment carried out by danish authorities in 1951. the goal was to turn often children into members of a more than grey land, but not all of them were orphans. when they arrived in copenhagen, some were sent to an orphanage and others to force their families. journalist unacquainted chin herman says the experiment was part of a danish scheme in the 1950s to maintain control over his former arctic colony. so the plan was to show the rest of the world that greenland was a natural part of denmark and needed to remain part of denmark through integration rather than autonomy. and this is where the children come in to the picture. helena
4:37 pm
spent almost 2 years in denmark, she was told never to use gray land dick language. and when she later went home, she struggled to communicate with her family members. why didn't she answer? and then a little after she is answer me and said something. and it was like my life broke and because i could not understand her, the experiment was a failure. by the time the children were, we united with their families. 2 years later, they say that fell traumatized. that child hoots shattered. it took the government decades to apologize, but helena still feels angry and hurt. it's an r s b a where he very bad thing in the heart said no one, never go away. only 6 of those forced to take part in the experiment are still
4:38 pm
