This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

I'm Nigel Adely and at 13 hours GMT on Tuesday the 29th of August, these are on main stories.

The former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has a jail sentence suspended but he may not be freed.

The head of the Sudanese military is in Egypt, on his first trip abroad since fighting

erupted in Khartoum in April. Japan urged China to ensure the safety of Japanese residents

after a wave of harassment linked to the release of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant.

Also in this podcast a new study shows that living in an area with poor air quality

can take an average of more than two years of life expectancy and we hear from the medical team

in Australia that removed a live worm from a woman's brain.

A Pakistani court has suspended Imran Khan's three-year sentence for corruption.

The former Prime Minister was found guilty earlier this month of concealing information about

state gifts he'd received and selling them for as much as $600,000.

Although the Islamabad High Court granted him bail until the result of his appeal is heard,

it's unlikely that Mr. Khan will be released from jail immediately. His lawyers are trying

to stop other arrests against him in separate cases. Speaking outside the court, Mr. Khan's lawyer

Gauha Khan said he hoped the court would roll in his favour as soon as possible.

We are very hopeful he would be released so far. We have not been informed that he is under arrest

in any other case. If they are going to arrest him in other cases or strategy is already online,

we have filed cases in the High Court in Supreme Court and we are seeking the court to restrain

the prosecution who are arresting him in any other case. And soon in Shallatala,

Imran Khan would be out of jail in this case.

I asked our correspondent in Islamabad Caroline Davis what difference this ruling will make.
