it's independent candidates loyal to former prime minister in rome con, that have taken the lead of the people across pakistan had expected to already know the election results with the morning's headlines, predicting a potential surprise. but the delay in collecting votes left many like these residents and the whole doubting if they would see if the outcome of com, mainly disabled to go. everything is pre decided somebody, they are just doing the salt food as a whole, but then they give you a thought of that. i've been voting for the last 14 years. mean my how the, this time they switched my voting station to conduct the stadium, then they did this at the last moment without me knowing what the mattress or the whatever the vehicle with. again this is the result of poor administration by the

caretaker government. part of the results are coming in very late. we do not think this election is credible. the election commission officials have attributed the slow boat count to the incumbent government's decision to block mobile phone and internet services. on the election day, the interior ministry sites, tara concerns, but the u. n. n. human rights groups say restricted a fair election process. it was the final episode and then the election that was hampered by axis ations of election rigging and the space of minutes in violence. one groups that's happy about the result. so far as the approaches of in mind cons, p t i polity. have your son 30 getting saw from that we would bottom from using our electrical symbol of a cricket about a ton of a project, i will lead to run tom with jail. so supporters, we need the pci supports as we've given the message that you cannot wait until it's

probably about still the p t i. it's a pulse of did not police hans and the result of the election will be all in our favor. rings are left as opposed to the lead to him. wrong. com is behind bars convicted of corruption as well as other charges that he's supposed to say. a politically motivated colin was brand new election and his policies and running under the name the independent candid dispatch boy the p t. i a very well and then the show results through the an unexpected challenge to the minute tree back to pakistan. muslim in which was expected to secure a strong majority and dw, as being as job had went to the election commissions headquarters and practice dance capital is lama. but we're counting is still ongoing and told us what officials are saying about the delayed results. the election commission officer

will say that the delay in the vote has seen the cause of because of internet shut down yesterday during the was pulling process. but because on the portrait they said that they had to close down the internet service phone service because of security concerns. and that's the main reason why election commission officer will say that those have been delayed. but i would say that i focus on the human rights group focused on the journalists, have expressed concerns of all on the internet, shut down. they have also criticized off the long delay in results. here at the headquarters and the sound bars. we see election commission offices guessing that uh, from a rough, focused on different provinces for example, separate and this sounds a lot different problems of problems, different jobs send, etc. and returning offices of from across focus on causes of constituencies are sending a bed or does a here in, in the,

in the through these offers shows. i'm here at the compiler to set that. and we can see this big screen here where we will be at the punch in the results. and as these results um, as they get through, it says that it does get punched and we see a lot of media presence here. um, what has been a very surprising element of both the supervisor said there was a strong prescription that be a 5 member of like a son was cindy and body and the boss to these, missing the varsity. there was a strong perception that he is one of the favorites candidates and that he is being backed by boxes and committed to establishment all what has been very surprising. yes, but b t i a 40 that has accused buckets on his date of birth, the capstone against against. and we know that i'm ron hahn is in june of the senior leadership of 50. i also in g barrett and a to symbol was taken away from them and therefore p t i candidates are running as

independent. um. what is the pricing uh sofa is that the seat that bpi, in fact, independent candidates um are, are doing fairly well. and this selection, this is quite a surprising the size of that is actually shocked. how many people in buckets done? this was not what was not expected, but now the thing is a general perception among focused on these and also among a journalist that where they were, the results are focused on the state should accept those results except the mandate . i'll accept the will of the people in the opinion of the people here at the election commission office. we keep waiting for the final results. and that was dw reporter venus job head reporting from is lama bod. here's a look at some other stories making headlines. polish farmers have blocked the border crossings with ukraine to protest against you. policies. the demonstrators

in gaza is the guy is a strip has been um over the top. we talked to bb to open the gate on there as really so i'm, i'm pushing really are really hard to get e mail to turn assistance in to guys. there are a lot of innocent people are starving, not innocent people who are in trouble dying, and it's got to stop streets close to rough as q 8 hospital have be less thing, ruins and often he's mainly prime minister benjamin netanyahu told troops to pass the operations in the states a the few sites every is lifting garza and that also on the threats and german chancellor all lock schultz is in washington for talks with lawmakers and president joe biden. those leaders set to discuss the israel hamas war and russia's invasion of ukraine. head of this trip schultz gave a brief statement in which he urged the e u. n. the last 2 quote 2 more to help him crane and it's fight against russia.

the us senate remains divided on releasing more funds. what's expected from the meeting chief, political editor, michelle, a customer has more as well the germans. honda is arriving in the very vall is how we care in domestic politics that is increasingly spilling out into the world, having a direct effect potentially on ukraine. and that's a full side for our souls. is concerned about what is he you part is all concerned about. he was very happy that he was able to present as the in time 8 success from the european and having secured the 50000000000 years worth of funding from europeans. but at the united states was the biggest, an assistant to ukraine in this fight against the rest of the key. militarily, there germany is the 2nd largest. so you have the 1st and 2nd largest ally in the military times, fitting down today and working out on how to best help ukraine more into the future

with the us. experiencing that political domestic squeeze. that comes as a direct order from donald trump, who is slowing down and potentially bringing to a grinding hold, the continuous flow of us assistance to ukraine. so what i felt knows he's taking home some homework that's the saw that europe is. we'll have to do more and a to for israel and taiwan will also be on the agenda. tell us more about that. so yes, these of course are also to key conflicts. and we will also see israel's 2 stones as allies sitting down here today. and both we just targets and us present bite and directly criticizing israel. for it's ministry campaign being quotes over the top. also calling for us, sustains, and sees of fighting. what ever that means in practical times. so both seemed to be

pretty much on the same page that which we've heard from the german side requires a lot of coordination as well as taiwan is moving on the horizon as the next potential offset to a well order to a relative stability that is being attacked from all sides here. both thing is will also be speaking about the china of which both economically also highly dependent. so it's into connected. but we're seeing more and more see potential conflict areas that could upset. also the stability of these 2 countries and mikaela on a lighter note, schultz also met with what he calls his duffel gang or tell us a little bit more about the man who makes the chancellor smile as well. and he is, is he actually, is it really known as a very much of someone who has the particular sense of humor. but it looks that the
