mary m in islamabad. can you tell us more about what happened in parliament today in pakistan's new prime minister? yeah, so basically today, you know, this session was carried out in order to work for the new prime minister pockets on the non cons. buckets on every game, argue the members, they resign and math and then what was carried out and now have os. or if he is elected as the prime minister of focus on the 23rd prime and back on. now, mr. shabba, he is also part of the world trade plan. he is brother of the former prime minister pocket washy from the back of the body. and even though he is not well known internationally in the domestic seal, he is of a famous dish and an administrator. he was the former chief minister of some job and you know, because of his administrative capabilities like he was able to carry out the mega,

mega projects, you know, in order for the government of the province. and unlike his brother in law, she's mister washer. it is known to have a very amicable relationship with the country military and that's really important . now before we talk more about the future, i want to back up a bit. you were covering protests this weekend. how are people. ready feeling and what were they telling you? i mean i what, why myself, yes, just yesterday, you know, i was in, at 0 point in islamabad and i and myself, i was pretty overwhelmed by looking at the numbers. the people out there on the streets are probably in paulson's or probably half a 1000000 of people like who i who i was able to interview when talked to them. and it was pretty interesting because the 1st time is it's probably one of the 1st few times when such a big, massive mass mobilization is taking place across major cities across pakistan and

at the fuse slogans that they have been chanting. little people were chanting were, again, it was based on our, the sentiment of anti americanism. but an interesting turn of events is also there . were you known, standing against the army, or there were, you know, not there were completely in support of iran, hon. so what's your assessment on this political outcome? i did the rule of law on air and ah, democracy prevail. you talked about the importance of the military in all of this you. i mean, since pakistan's inception was in since 1947, no pakistani prime minister has ever so faithful to him to deed and iran also, unfortunately joined the fate of the speaker. 10 predecessors. you know it, sir, since 2018. and it is my own personal observation, since 28 in collections, i think the degrees no understanding that you know, they can not really govern like right at the forefront. instead,

what they do with the mundane like these, you know, they get these pocket regimes in order to, you know, and kind of hold on to their power. and even though in the, at this period of time, you know, pakistan has been embroiled whitley in weeks of article instability in a weeks time. you know, the country had a prime minister than the country did not have a prime minister. the country had a prime minister again, and then he was ousted in a new confidence. ford had jeer. mariam, thank you so much for your time. and you can follow all developments in pakistan and get in depth analysis on our website. that's d w dot com. ah, president valid with vladimir zalinski of ukraine address, south korea's parliament on monday, as a lensky asked the 10th largest economy in the world, and one of the united states is closest allies for weapons. south korea has one of the most sophisticated militaries in asia. it too has joined international

sanctions against moscow. the landscape thanked soul for its support, but said more help is needed. some movie movie more to be essential for us are, you hovers, or anyone were armored vehicles, anti aircraft, anti tank onto ship weapons. and when it's a question of survival in a war aimed a total subjugation of the nation before unprincipled answers must be given. the usual rules of arm supply need to be reviewed and act quickly. you need to help the whole more. joining us as journalist frank smith in so all frank east asia is a long way from events in europe. but how do south koreans view zalesky and well, what he said be viewed favorably. well, south koreans really, i think, view the ukranian president as something over hero,

the way that he's rallied ukraine to defend itself from this russian aggression as well as rally the, the international community behind his countries cause that was felt here in south korea with the remarks that he made to the national assembly where he were requested. so career really step up in another way and provide ukraine with the military hardware to help it battle against russian forces in his country. so korea does produce a couple of weapons that might be useful in ukraine. one is k, 2 tanks, very advanced, technologically advanced tanks produced by so korea as. busy busy was anti tank guided missiles called rebels. both of these weapons again would be quite useful in ukraine, should the south korean government answer that call. so for so 3 has provided about $1000000.00. i believe so far of non lethal and humanitarian aid in this pledge to

provide an additional about $40000000.00 of such aid to the ukraine in editorials. here they've expressed the desire for the south korean government to enact further sanctions against russia and called prudent slaughter in, in some of those editorials and in south korean newspapers. so certainly, there is a lot of support for ukraine in its presidents lensky here. now south korea, we'll have a new president next month. you and secure. he's a conservative who dishes, tougher security talk against young. yeah. do you think his national security approach will mean south korea taking additional measures against russia? yes, i do. so the green president, incoming president, you so you'll wants to have

a closer relationship. and a deeper alliance with the united states delegation just returned of president hughes just returned from the u. s. and they're seeking to make it a comprehensive and strategic alliance between south korea and the united states. and certainly that will involve participating in u. s. security measures around the world. also. so the grease foreign minister met with nato and also suggested that so cri would participate more and develop a, a stronger relationship with the north atlantic treaty organization. and also you and so, kills spokesperson. just recently, following the recent news of atrocities committed by russian troops called those in book acts against humanity. and unions spell himself spoke with zelinski last

week. so we're likely to see you took your administration here. take a stronger efforts to support ukraine, be it with humanitarian aid, or perhaps military 8 as well very quickly. how are global sanctions against russia and particularly the cost of energy impacting south korea? that's a really good question. melissa, south korea import almost a 100 percent of its petroleum products. it's seen those costs rise 30 percent since march. it's released some oil reserves here, about 10000000 barrels. it's lowered fuel taxes and is providing commercial subsidies in terms of fuel costs. and you know, now because of cove it as well, it's running a deficit state financing here. so it is doing what it can in terms of fiscal policy to support to ukraine. frank smith,

thank you so much for joining us. south korea has also curved russian coal in ports, in addition to joining international sanctions against moscow. but limited trade with russia continues, especially in food imports. now this is something we're seeing everywhere. countries must decide what kind of trade to ban or limit with russia. in south korea's case, it's letting in the crabs served in us jew steamed or grilled. south koreans love to eat snow. crab and king crab. increase supply of sea food from russia has made the cross station even more affordable than ever at souls nor young jin seafood market. prices of nearly hobson's late february as the u. s. the . you and others bound russian seafood imports over the ukraine invasion. and today again, and i ran for very expensive a couple of months ago because we didn't have enough supplies from russia. but recently the supplies increased and the price is become much cheaper. i can say

that usually 100 people visit the market, but now the weather is getting warmer and about 200 people are coming in a day. while plunging prices for russian crop of south koreans flocking to seafood markets and restaurants. some consumers are question whether to boy coffee, important concerns. the purchase indirectly support rushes, invasion of ukraine, people any more, russian crab is not even a necessity. i don't think it's right to import from russia and eat them because they're cheap. so i oppose importing them. and i think we should impose sanctions against russia and join the others for a quick end to the war. them as another the test will be whether south koreans will set aside their appetite for crop. and our food exports to the list of sanctions aimed at stopping the war in ukraine. that's it for today will levy with pakistan's tumultuous past few days that saw the ousting of enron khan as prime minister to be

replaced by shabani sherry. but back again, tomorrow you then, i think noon with to work a, with the music, a protein, living with displacement, destruction and a war the song. and the odds are $21.00

next on dw. so you want to know what makes the german is just in the gym. loved and batting away, but i'm not going to have to work my own car and everyone was laid. holden every day getting are you ready to meet the german going me right. just do it on d, w o, o, o, b, keep listening to this year's when kids have to run through the basement that you can't, you can't do it from his brain. you can't do it from the, his memory. so the music and ta, nice, nice of nice to help the sole survivor who i leave today again, she didn't learn was not that long ago it's sheets or society to this day.
