Imran Khan has begun building a ruling coalition as Pakistan's leader-elect faces daunting troubles ranging from doubts over his legitimacy to a looming economic crisis. Almost three days after polling finished, the final tally of results gave Mr Khan's party 116 of the 270 National Assembly seats on offer, putting him within easy reach of a majority.

Yet when the glow of victory fades, he faces a grim to-do list likely to test the the high expectations raised in his passionate young supporters, analysts told the Telegraph. The immediate priority is to deal with Pakistan's economic woes. “The greatest challenge is the economy, everyone knows that. We need a Pakistan that is self-sustaining,” Gen Talat Masud, a former general and commentator said. The newcomer will have to move fast to avert a b

Italy's far right deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini has accused the European Union of attempting to "swindle" the United Kingdom out of the Brexit people voted for in the landmark 2016 referendum, The Sunday Times reported. "My experience in the European parliament tells me you either impose yourself or they swindle you", Salvini told the weekly as he urged prime minister Theresa May to take a harder stance in negotiations to sever ties with the trading bloc.
