Nasir Aziz, Ethan Casey and Asad Faizi discuss the the deadly cyclone Yamyin on Pakistan's southern coast, which killed over 200 people and left tens of thousands homeless, and its handling by the government. Also: Is the judicial movement in Pakistan already showing its impact, and is the judiciary asserting its independence by questioning the conviction of a civilian by a military court in Pakistan? Ethan Casey wonders aloud whether judicial independence might be healthier in Pakistan than in the US. And how do the lawyers' movement and the movement by the hardliner clerics of the Lal Masjid in Islamabad compare, and which has more popular support? Finally, some national jubilation for Aisam-ul-Haq making history by crashing the gates of Wimbledon by winning his first-round match at the venerable tennis tournament in London.
