his elder brother, nawaz sharif, has served as prime minister on three occasions. shehbaz sharif, he served as chief minister of punjab, that's pakistan's most populous province, under the government prior to imran khan coming into power. he had a reputation of being efficient, hardworking, credited with bringing in a number of major infrastructure projects. but he and his brother and the many others in his family have also been accused of corruption. now, he hasn't been convicted of an offence, but he has spent periods in jail under this last tenure of imran khan most recently. his brother, nawaz sharif, was disqualified and then convicted on corruption charges. both say that the allegations against them are politically motivated, but imran khan had really led a personal crusade against the sharifs and this other political dynasty, the bhuttos, as well. in terms of foreign policy, well, look, shehbaz sharif, his party allies have been saying that they will pursue a different, less anti—western agenda than imran khan. i mean, pakistan was already very close to chin

his successor shahbaz sharif is the brother of anotherformer prime minister — nawaz sharif — and takesd are politically motivated. i asked farahnaz ispahani, who's a global fellow at the woodrow wilson center and a former member of pakistan parliament, why mr khan was being ousted now when elections are due to take place next year. firstly, mr khan when prime minister hounded the opposition to the point where they all got together, very disparate political parties from the left to the right and in between, and also, he lost the support of the pakistan military which you know is a very important institution. so he lost their political support as well so basically, he got himself into a situation where he hounded the opposition, his allies deserted him and at the end of the day, the military left political support for him. so that is why he ended up where he was, the first prime minister in pakistan to face a no—confidence motion and although he and his supporters like to think there is a bigger conspiracy, these are the facts. they are just three points in front of you that any student

his successor shahbaz sharif is the brother of another former prime minister, nawaz sharif, and takesption allegations, which he has said are politically motivated. farahnaz ispahani is a global fellow at the woodrow wilson center and former member of pakistan parliament and shejoins us now from washington. thank you very much for being with us. elections due in pakistan next year anyway. why was this vote of no confidence against imran khan necessary now? . , , ., ., now? that is the question of the owler. _ now? that is the question of the owler, and _ now? that is the question of the owler, and i _ now? that is the question of the owler, and i think - now? that is the question of the owler, and i think that l now? that is the question of| the owler, and i think that is a very simple answer to that. firstly, imran khan when prime minister hounded the opposition to the point where they all got together, very disparate political parties from the left to the right and in between, and also, he lost the support of the pakistan military which you know is a very important institution. so h

sharif is from the pmln — the pakistan muslim league nawaz.z sharif is best known for being brother to nawaz sharif — who served three times as prime minister. key to any pakistani leader's prospects are their relations with the powerful military. hassan abbas is a former official who served in previous governments. historically their relationship has not been that good. the military was behind the ousting of nawaz sharif, but in the case of shehbaz sharif who was always seen as someone who had a good working relationship with the military. he was always pragmatic, he wanted his brother to neverfire pragmatic, he wanted his brother to never fire the former army chiefs and was always keeping one contact and was always keeping one contact and one window of contact open with the military. so the military relationship between and the military shehbaz sharif relationship will be relatively stable this time i think. imran khan spent his final days claiming a "foreign conspiracy" was behind efforts to remove him. and it's an argument that was effecti

shehbaz sharif will be welcomed by the military and will he have long—term prospects in pakistan —— nawazd has a lot of experience running the ovens of punjab and being a party leader and i also think it's easy for any punjab —based politician to have an easier relationship with the pakistani military, which is dominated by ethnic punjabi soldiers and military officials, so there is a little bit more of a natural, organic relationship there. i think where it is going to get complicated is sharif will likely want to have an opening with india fairly soon and while the pakistani military would like to restart those conversations with the indians, i think they would prefer to take it slowly and at their own pace and sharif will probably want to move a little bit faster on reopening, say, economic and trade ties. punjab stands to benefit from normalisation of relationships with india so this is obviously something to keep in mind. shamila chaudhary from the new america think tank. theatre luvvies gathered in london for the 0livier awards, which honour people who work both on and off stage. ca

amna nawaz has that. more on the state of the war in ukraine we turn once again to dmitri alperovitch. he's co-founder of the silverado policy accelerator, a washington-based think tank. welcome back to the newshour. and for joining us. let's start with your assessment of that russian war effort on the ground. i spoke earlier with the pentagon spokesman john kirby. he said russia is learning from earlier missteps, they are better at combining their air and ground capabilities, but their progress has been slow and uneven. what is your read on how they are doing? dmitri: that is right. the russians have learned from their mistakes and they are shelling indiscriminately ukrainian positions, killing many civilians in the process, but they are still making little progress because they are up against well armed ukrainians. they are entrenched in their defensive positions. that is making it difficult for the russians. amna: admiral kirby mentioned the role of conscripts in this case, that they are being inundate

amna nawaz looks at a sobering new analysis of related data that underscores just how big a problem we have. firearm related injuries were the second leading cause of death among children behind only car crashes. the gap narrowed and in 2020 gun deaths soared past motor vehicle accidents to become the leading cause of death for one to 19-year-olds in the united states. joining me to talk about the updated numbers is dr. patrick carter, the codirector of the institute fofirearm injury prevention at the university of michigan and one of the authors of that analysis. welcome to the newshour and thanks for joining us. let's just talk about these findings. as you are running these numbers that came from the cdc, what stood out to you? >> we were eecting to see it increase because we have been seeing this trend since 2013. in the number of firearm aths among children and teens. what stuck out to me was the magnitude of the increase. among the general population we saw a 14% increase in firearm deaths nationwide. among children and teens, at rate actually doubled, was about 30% higher. that i

. >> amna nawaz, thank you all for being with us this morning. i want to talk more about this with maryland senator chris von haaland, a member of the foreign relations committee is with us this morning. senator, it's always a pleasure to see you. i'm just wondering, when you see what's going out in these images from bucha, and gabe gutierrez is heading over to parts that until now have not had cameras in, what do you see? what do you feel? what do you think? >> well, jose, it's good to be with you. and what we're seeing are just grotesque images of putin's depravity, and the russian force's depravity. no respect for civilian human life. and it does call for accountability. i'm glad the u.n. security council will be taking this up. today in the united states senate, i'm teaming up with senator joni ernst. we're introducing legislation to strip russia of its participation on the united nations' human rights council, to kick them out of the t-20, and interpol. and the biden administration has also been pushing on the u.n. human rights council. so w
