Pakistan Awaits Election Results

BBC World Service - Newshour, Pakistan Awaits Election Results

Will the former cricketer Imran Khan be the next president of Pakistan?

Tension is gripping Pakistan as the country awaits the results of the general election. Some reports say that the voter turn-out was around fifty three percent but there has been no official confirmation as yet. The main contest is between the party of the former cricketer Imran Khan and the party of the ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif. Also on the programme, scientists believe that they have found the first evidence of a body of liquid water underneath the polar ice cap of Mars. And as Xi Jinping visits Africa we hear about the sudden increase of Chinese tourism in that continent.
