Imran Khan: former Pakistani PM sentenced

Pakistan's former prime minister jailed in state secrets case as election looms.

The former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 10 years in jail in a case in which he was charged with leaking state secrets. Khan, who was ousted by his opponents as PM in 2022, is already serving a three-year jail term after being convicted of corruption. He has called all the charges against him politically motivated.

Also on the programme: we'll have a report from a frontline town in Ukraine, where even the medics are targeted; and how 64 wires as thin as hairs and implanted in a human brain could change lives.
