Pakistan's election commission convened a crucial meeting on Friday after Prime Minister Imran Khan accused it of discrediting democracy, according to media reports. Prime Minister Khan, in a televised address, lashed out at the Election Commission which he said failed to stop corruption in Wednesday's closely-contested Senate elections. Khan's criticism of the ECP came after Opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) candidate and former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani defeated ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) candidate Abdul Hafeez Shaikh on Wednesday, in a major blow to the Prime Minister who campaigned for his Cabinet colleague. Under mounting pressure from the Opposition to resign, Imran Khan announced that he will seek a vote of confidence on Saturday, in a bid to restore the legitimacy of his government following the defeat of the finance minister in the hotly-contested Senate elections.

China on Friday hiked its defence budget for the first time to more than $200 billion, over three times higher than that of India, maintaining a single-digit growth for the sixth consecutive year with a 6.8% increase in 2021.

The UK&rsquo;s competition regulator on Thursday launched an antitrust investigation into Apple. The Competition and Markets Authority said it would investigate Apple over complaints from software developers about the tech giant&rsquo;s App Store. Apple only lets developers release iPhone and iPad apps through its iOS smartphone platform. The tech giant has a rigorous approval process for iOS apps and has often faced criticism about an up to 30% fee it charges on in-app transactions. UK authorities have said, complaints that Apple is using its market position to set terms which are unfair or may restrict competition and choice &mdash; potentially causing customers to lose out when buying and using apps &mdash; warrant careful scrutiny. Britain&rsquo;s competition probe into Apple follows similar moves by the European Union last year.
