lawmakers in pakistan are to choose a new prime minister later, to replace nawaz sharif, who stepped down on friday. he was disqualified from public office by the supreme court, which ruled that he had failed to disclose his family's financial assets. it's exactly what we expected. a guy called shahid khaqan abbasi has been elected prime minister of pakistan. when i say elected, this is elected by the members of parliament, by the national assembly of pakistan, not by the people of pakistan. so he has been elected prime minister. he's the new prime minister of pakistan, but he is only in place, we think, for about two months before the longer term successor, so the man appointed by nawaz sharif, the former prime minister, disgraced and kicked out of office by the supreme court on friday, he nominated wait for it, his brother to succeed him. his brother isn't actually an mp. he needs to get himself a seat in parliament, then he, in turn, can be elected by the parliament as prime minister succeeding this guy, abbasi, whose won the prime minister ship today. that is where we are at in p
