After arguing that the official had been tortured, the Islamabad High Court found Imran Khan (pictured left, top right on court) would be charged on September 22 for criticizing the magistrate in jail for holding a party leader in police detention.

Antonio Guterres, the United Nations General Secretary-General, has appealed urgently to the international community to help the 33 million people (main, people who were forced to cross a river on a suspended cradle) who are 'awash with pain and facing a monsoon on steroids) displaced people.' The International Monetary Fund has already paid the south east Asian country a $1.1 billion (£981,354 million) bailout, but experts warn that the damage could be much more costly.
