Oppositionsledare vald till Pakistans premiärminister
Oppositionsledaren Shahbaz Sharif har valts till ny premiärminister i Pakistan efter att Imran Khan avsatts i en misstroendeomröstning.
Sharifs första utmaning blir att bilda en koalitionsregering med det vänsterlutande partiet PPP och konservativa JUI-F, två partier som länge varit bittra rivaler.
Den tidigare cricketspelaren Khan fick lämna posten efter att flera av hans allierade bytte sida eller hoppade av, vilket innebar att han förlorade majoriteten i parlamentet.
