is, that was made by the national accountability bureau, the institution that is forced to look after that option is in the country default. my prime minister is facing dozens of charges of corruption. he was altered from above our last year following and no confidence was but remains the leading opposition to go on. and many of his supporters see the hosting as part of a broader conspiracy by the military. you know, it's a, it's a version on democracy basically, you know, the 1st day i ousted him from power, then they stopped him from campaigning around the country, then they finally tried to assassinate him twice and now they've arrested him. so the process was very clear that they just wouldn't, we didn't want him on time out and about again, suspect, drop off savanna economic crisis hun domains influential across the country. people

there are 2 provinces and focused on that have core for military deployment. because they have their bodies that police alone would not be able to handle the protests. so the security situation of the country right now looks really peek dramatic situation if we could just talk about the way in which m, ron khan was arrested, it was proceed dramatic. wasn't that why was he arrested when he was already appearing in court? so and gone hand was drafted by national accountability bureau under corruption guess at the bureau says that ron hahn was not cooperating in the investigation. but we all spoke earlier with the former human rights minister and the senior member of buck of funds in non hon. sparky, shooting his id on to the part and also that this, this just a general view right now in focused on that basically this addressed reflects, but the food at and on han has with the ministry because i am don hahn has gross

the red line of the military, he has been criticizing park events army for a very long time now. and he basically the most powerful and influential institution in the country. and he went with the ex dentist, actually naming a senior military officer and accusing him of basically blocking a to kill him. and he, it gives us the military of basically conspiring with the government, almost him from the political scene, the government anthem entity, the night of these allegations. but it looks like the death of the between the minute please stop this one and i'm going home. it's not getting any better. ok, let's talk about this. um, social media shut down. the government of pakistan has reportedly shut down all social media to tell us why. for the government say they have done this because they want to stop the political propaganda or spark of funds that he can solve for him. john hans political party. they are quite active on social media, very aggressive on social media and the one to ensure that there is no spread of

fake news, but not hon spot the said, the split at the block. it is basically too bad or the sensor. so the what doesn't see what is happening, in fact, the fund that for the testers are out on the streets or lacrosse buckets on supporting their lead. to bet happens reports off. and we have seen these results of protest, of attacking the government and installations military installations of but because social media is complete to bind, it's difficult to access the up to date information, alright, in his java dw report. so thanks so much for your analysis on that. a palestinian militants in the gaza strip have fired row kits following is really strikes sirens of sounding across southern israel. in response, israel's military has confirmed it resumed as strikes and gaza targeting is lubbock jihad, and the list of infrastructure is really strikes which began on tuesday,

which as you mentioned, annual laden was, is there a, there a response they say to roberts launch, fight is, lemme gee had last week following the death of one of the members in prison who was on hunger strike. now this, we see tit for tat situations like this is a particularly large one. as i said, we're not exactly sure where this is headed. but we do expect the eye to idea to respond to this, and we're just not exactly sure who might be involved, whether the mouse gets involved, that will certainly weigh in on how just how big this situation becomes rebecca, which has induced various levels. thanks so much for that to versus into to you being called on to elect a new president on parliament this sunday. the opposition leader canal clips to ro lou has a narrow lead over the incumbent. president red chip type ad one who is seeking a 3rd time commits to renew heads the set, feel a sense of left for public and people's policy, or c, h p,

that jumps control. this. took these relations with many of the western partners with the you, with nato, have suffered in recent years. what is your message to tuck? use western allies to get into the sports. we will turn turkey's foreign policy around $180.00 degrees. we'll bring all the democratic rules stipulated by the european union to our country. the leaders of our 6th party opposition alliance and you have agreed on all the arrangements that need to be made within this framework agreement and we will implement them in our countries. it's, i think the biggest change will be answering people's calls for democracy. i think you should most of the check and how would your relationship it with the russian president, 14 look like this. uh, we are a member of the nato alliance. and as um, we are also a country that has applied for membership to the european union, at least. therefore, we will turn towards the west end towards western civilization. and of course, we would like to have good relations with russia,

or we have many business people working there, but we do not think russia's invasion of ukraine is right. and we do not accept it . what will happen to a political prisoners likes to launch 1st or someone come all out will code is politicians highlighting the natasha. will they be freed? you all have to come over. there are already in additional decisions for the release, and those 2 additional decisions must be implemented. no one should be in jail because of their thoughts. that's our main objective. you have a narrow lead in the polls. the pre election at most for you here in turkey seems quite heated. are you concerned for your security shortly? let me put it this way. the security issue is one of the main problems in turkey that i have no worries because i am totally focused on the election and then we will win this selection and then bring democracy into turkey. do you think the current administration will ensure a democratic hand over of power or do you expect problems and delays?
