all of this happened long before imran khan came to power.*s government is trying to pass some legislation to offer better protection for journalists. so why are you exaggerating the impact of imran khan in this negative way? no, i am not exaggerating. i am not exaggerating. if you talk to the human rights minister of imran khan, dr shireen mazari, she will tell you that i tried my level best to cooperate with her to formulate the draft of the journalist protection bill, which was presented recently in the parliament. and she accepted it many times publicly that hamid mir is the one who helped me a lot to make this draft. and all the other media bodies, we are also helping this government, led by imran khan, to make good legislation for the media freedom. but on the other side, the same government which you think is not responsible for imposing censorship on us, the same government is trying to make a new law with the name of pakistan media development authority law through which they want to establish media tribunals and they want to convict

if this is the case, what might persuade imran - firmly.ell, they are not in control, _ islamabad to change strategy? well, they are not in control, to _ islamabad to change strategy? well, they are not in control, to be - they are not in control, to be honest. imran khan was brought into the prime minister's office because he is a booster of the taliban, because he was willing to buy into the general�*s agenda, but it is really military headquarters, general headquarters that needs to get the message and my view is that they will not get the message unless they will not get the message unless the international community speaks with one voice and implements the kind of sanctions regime against them that we have done against vladimir putin and his entourage for invading the ukraine. arguably, the proxy war pakistan has been waiting in afghanistan has been on a much larger scale, in afghanistan has been on a much largerscale, much in afghanistan has been on a much larger scale, much more costly for our countries, but above all for afghans ove

so, from the youngest to the eldest statesman in the hundred — imran tahir, ageing like the finest ofish with figures of 5—25, with the fire skittled forjust 91 runs. in the women's fixture, it was another brilliant performance from india's teenage superstar shafali verma, who scored 76 as birmingham phoenix stormed to a 10—wicket win over welsh fire in the women's hundred. welsh fire collapsed from 75—1to127—9, including losing their last six wickets for 23 runs in a 21—ball spell. chasing 128 to win, verma smashed an unbeaten 76 off 42 balls, after bringing her up her 50 withjust 22 balls, the 17—year—old hitting nine fours and two sixes. and andy murray has been added to the main draw for the us open after former champion stan wawrinka withdrew. murray pulled out of the men's singles at the tokyo olympics last month with a thigh strain, but was able to play in the doubles alongsidejoe salisbury, where they reached the quarterfinals. murray won the us open back in 2012. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the rest of the team, bye—bye. well, many of us have had to endure d

con, -- imran khan, on afghanistan and what is happening.he big fear is that while pakistan in some ways has held its strategy over the past few years in terms of on one hand, being a supporter of the u.s. position, but also maintaining very strong connections with the taliban, whether or not ultimately, they do have to bear the burden of the refugees. it is going to be an issue for pakistan, i think. alix: we will talk about that with the alliancebernstein director on emerging market debt. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ >> in time, afghanistan will also need its own manpower, and europe alone cannot assume the consequent is of the current situation. we have to anticipate this and protect ourselves against significant irregular flows of migration. that would endanger the people who use them and feed all sorts of human trafficking. alix: that was french president emmanuel macron speaking on immigration from afghanistan. for more on this and europe's response is bloomberg's been stills, who joins us -- bloomberg's been still, who joins us live. what d

to which the prime minister of pakistan, imran khan, responded that he was "disappointed that we have what is going on in afghanistan". and then this week, pakistan's national security advisor said, "we are beginning to see a very conscious, deliberate effort the former canadian ambassador to afghanistan and former deputy un special envoy to afghanistan chris alexander explains what his view of the role of pakistan in afghanistan is. well, i think it's the missing piece of the puzzle when we look at why peace has not come to afghanistan. there has been a peace process under way for two years, direct talks by the taliban by the us and the afghan government and over the longer term, contact with the tell a man for ten years. why is there no permanent ceasefire? in my view, the taliban are still proxies and still an armed forces sent by pakistan as part of its obsession with india, to turn afghanistan back into a virtual province under their authority which it was for five years up until 9/11. this is not a policy that pakistanipakistanis properly embrace or know about, but it is based o

when imran choudary was training for a charity walk, he didn't expect to be needing the help of the nhsafter he blacked out and fell 200 feet. the complex mission to save him can be seen as part of a tv documentary, as ian haslam reports. i am standing on a rock. it is very windy today. you've heard the phrase �*famous last words' but what he is about to say is almost literal. moments later while climbing back down, he fell 200 feet. it is a miracle because i was preparing myself to climb kilimanjaro. the aim was to do some video and take some pictures and that would encourage people to donate towards my fundraising pages and at the end of the video i literally said, in bengali language, that if somebody ever fell from here that was the end of the story for them. and it was me, the next minute it was me. just tell me what has happened. he was on top of a peak and i turned around and he fell off. helicopter er the critical hours shows him being treated for multiple serious injuries and a steep ravine in high wind. how are you doing, buddy? did you fall off the top? i want to thank all th

unfortunately, if elections would've been cleared, as prime minister imran khan suggested earlier, and much better than anyone else — it's hugely divided, ethnically a divided country. it's very complex, the divisions that we see in afghanistan. and, unless we don't have those ethnicities represented in the government, stability is a dream. so again, our theme is not different — we again want an original solution, we are in touch with the regional powers, we're in touch with the usa and uk, and we will do all that we can for an inclusive government. as you know, minister chaudhary, the spotlight has been on pakistan and, with many believing that you are not only trying to find a diplomatic political solution, but you of course, for many years now, have been providing military support to the taliban with whom you are believed to have very strong relationships and can exercise a lot of influence. what specifically are you trying to do now to prevent any spiral into further chaos? well, you will appreciate that for years, we've actually been a victim of this whole story of afghanistan. we
