Gravitas Global Headlines: The battle for Kherson | Trudeau accuses China of meddling

<p>In Pakistan, political figures have previously been attacked. Fortunately, Imran Khan, the former prime minister, very narrowly escaped and sustained bullet shots in his right leg during his long march for "real freedom" on Thursday in Wazirabad. Six members of his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), including its leader Faisal Javed and Ahmed Chattha, sustained injuries in the attack.&nbsp;A&nbsp;bigger tragedy was averted because one man had the presence of mind to tackle the gunman with bare hands. He is being hailed as a ‘hero’ by many Pakistanis.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Who is&nbsp;Ibtisam Hassan?</strong></h2>

<p>Supporters of Khan are hailing the man who fought off the armed assailant as a hero. Ibtisam Hassan, who is reportedly in his early thirties, has been named by some as the "saviour". According to reports, he was scooped up on the shoulders and lavished with compliments for his bravery.</p>

<p>According to Ibtisam, the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/imran-khan-assassination-bid-music-played-during-call-for-prayer-among-reasons-given-by-attacker-531121">shooter attacked</a> while he was 10 to 12 feet away from the vehicle transporting Khan with a container mounted on it. He spotted a man loading his gun and keeping an eye on the 70-year-old PTI leader.</p>

<p>Ibtisam claimed that after the alleged shooter fired one <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/imran-khan-vows-not-to-bow-down-following-assassination-attempt-continue-protest-march-531156">shot at Khan</a>, he&nbsp;lunged at the assailant, seized his hand, and forced it down towards the ground. The gunman&nbsp;fired again, but this time he struck another man. He apparently dropped the gun in the midst of the tussle.</p>

<p>Ibtisam claimed to have pursued the suspect and apprehended him with the aid of other marchers.</p>

<p>Naveed Mohammad Basheer has been named as the shooter who attacked Khan. In addition to admitting his crime, he charged the former PM&nbsp;with blasphemy, claiming that this was what drove him to attack Khan.</p>

I am alone," Basheer, a resident of Sodhra in the Wazirabad district, can be heard saying in a viral confessional video soon after he was arrested by the cops. He was caught with a 9mm pistol and two empty magazines.</p>

<p>Basheer was nabbed by the police and later taken to an “undisclosed location”.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The recent Conservative Party leadership debate between Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss on Tuesday&nbsp;was abruptly ended when TV host Kate McCann fainted live. The debate was immediately taken off the air after the host fainted in the middle of the programme. In other news, Microsoft, the US tech giant reported that its latest quarter’s profits fell short of expectations due to weak demand and supply disruptions from China, affecting sales of personal computers. Finally, after a poorly attended referendum in which President Kais Saied won unrestrained power, the electoral commission in Tunisia said that it had accepted the new constitution that grants Saied unfettered power.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>The race to become the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is heating up with both Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss not wasting any opportunity to push their agenda in front of the general public.

Gravitas Global Headlines: China slams Lithuania over Taiwan

<p>Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), blamed ‘dumb bets’ made by Sri Lanka on China for the country’s current economic crisis. Since Sri Lanka ran out of foreign currency to import necessities, the South Asia Island has experienced log blackout, food, and fuel shortages, and soaring prices. In other news, US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping are scheduled to speak in the next 10 days. Currently, there is a lot of friction between the US and China particularly related to Taiwan. Finally, numerous influential figures from Central America have been added to a list of ‘corrupt and undemocratic’ people in the US. The names include former and current politicians, legislators, and business tycoons.</p>
