they took up the apartment completely. pakistan's and the prime minister says the opposition threats to his leadership have been orchestrated by western powers after he refused to allow us based on pakistani territory and declined condemn russia over the ukraine conflict. news news broadcasting will have direct from our studios in moscow. this is our 2 international. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. let's start by recapping the main recent events in the war in ukraine. russia's defense ministry says don, yet scanned the guns forces are continuing their offensive in the don bus region, making further advances in the past day. russian airborne forces say that they have reportedly destroyed nearly 70 ukrainian military target managerial situation in cream. second largest city article is teetering on disaster, mid allocations, that ukrainian military forces have taken up positions in residential areas and are essentially using civilians as human shields. meanwhile, the you is considering tightening sanctions against russia in the coming days. now this may include furt

and pakistan's prime minister enron con rallies. his supporters as he faces the biggest fight of his political career. ah, ah, look forward to brighter skies the winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello from dell ha, dealing with some powerful winds across the gall. so let's get into those details right now. otherwise it's a fairly sunny pictures. southerly flow is pushed up the temperature to 36 degrees in mecca. now off to the golf, we go, we've got that northerly northwesterly winds coming down, but we're looking at gusts on monday. anywhere from about 60 to 70 kilometers per hour that swirls around the sand. in dust and does have a big impact on visibility, dealing with a heat wave across parts of pakistan, temperatures in the forty's, we've got high temperatures through off gone, is done in southern sections of iran. sure. as 24 will be the number for you on monday, there are signs are going to get a blast of warmth for turkey in the days and weeks comes already. we can see it in istanbul, 60 degrees on monday, but i think you

we will put into context a little bit to win against pakistan. pakistan is never beaten england. you expect to have a victory of this win suggests that they're starting to find form? i think they went about it. the whole bowling innings, clinical, very restricted pakistan only scored two runs and over was it was while checking test cricket. pretty boring from england but they did the simple things well, they took wickets throughout. best bullet in the world got three for doing what she does best. but the bat they went out, play themselves and die in a wyatt place yourself in it was able to capitalise on the boulders. abs, capitalise on the boulders. reasonable chance england also will have the bowlers of avoiding australia in the semifinals that's a huge relief because this is an australian side, england will be nervous of playing avenue and only beaten up once in last five years. there is that you can't be world champions without beating the best but england mayjust avoid that depending on what happens with the qualifications going into the semifinals. it does look like england

how do you think this could impact pakistan american relations? well, i think america definitely desires and is pushing bug hassan to take a position. but as you know about san is not going to do that because it realizes that it has an experience of taking sides in the past. it has been supporting what and since the us invasion and honest on and all that. and you know, the consequences of that we are still suffering from it. so i think his son has a history and it has realized and learn from its history that it's not going to repeat the same mistakes. such a pakistan has been criticized in the past for backing the united states and they took enough money. stephan, how do you think that criticism is going to affect your prime minister's decisions going forward? well, i think of course pressures when you don't sort of follow, you know, the dictates. so call dictates of these countries specially or super above, but focus on has been resisting these warnings or dictates, or desires for many years now. and pakistan has realized through its experience o

whatever is happening to pakistan these days where we are receiving threats. is it because the we the premises rock i dare to say absolutely not to america. it's what we are reaping today because of that or is it just because of the recent wizard of from mr. con to russia to moscow? i think so far the way things are evolving. it looks like whatever premises bronchitis is correct. because if they can do some kind of x to a powerful country like russia, we are nothing in front of them. they can do anything to us. if prime minister con and his comment if they stay, it's going to be a huge blow. and of course the rest is going to do a lot more applies and to come up with other strategies to malign them and to, to damage their, their position here. if it happens the other way around, if the government is dismissed and the other bodies take war or new elections are hill, of course in the new elections, the west, they will try the levers to bring a government that's, that's in good terms with the united states focused on is not pressing a dilemma over the gym. james,

but suddenly also pakistan has a weak position. these are the countries you cover at frontier markets. does this weakness get exacerbated by these higher commodity prices as a result of what is going on in eastern europe? ruchir: absolutely. it is a pretty precarious position in terms of the high oil prices. the economies have been hit badly. they want a i-22 on a pretty weak footing especially pakistan. they had a deficit and now with oil prices where they are, it puts pressure on the currency as well as foreign exchange. it is a tough position. in terms of what the fed does and whether it increases six times or seven times, i am more concerned about higher commodity and food prices in this country and the effect on stability. so it will be a tough time for these markets at least for the next couple of months you can't really take a broadbrush approach when it comes to frontier markets. haslinda: when it comes to commodity markets, it will benefit the likes of vietnam, even bangladesh? ruchir: it will impact vietnam and bedwell --
