the one issue that matters the most voters. and that is the rising cost of living. you know, she's been appealing to blue color waters on the right and left. seeing that, you know, she's going to create jobs, give them more money, cap prices, and i think that is resonating, i think what is different than the selection is that for many voters, there is no longer a stigma of watering for the far right. that is really certainly new in the selection d, w correspondence, sonya fan or car with her eye on that french election. many, many tax pakistan's prime minister, the former cricketer in ron con, has been al, she'd from power after losing a vote of no confidence in parliament. the supreme court on thursday restored parliament after con, tried to disband it to avoid the vote. khan was deserted by coalition partners. you blame him for a crumbling economy and his failure to deliver on his campaign promises. oh yes ma'am, about residence gathered around parliament as assembly members left after the
