a good number. i'm joined again with the day's sports including. thank you for the support of government. we hear from alex ferguson for the first time since the manchester united legendary manager underwent brain surgery. first to pakistan where a cricketer turned politician imran khan has to climb victory in a divisive election marred by a legations of fraud and vote rigging ballots are still being counted on the final result is not expected to be announced before friday but speaking from his home in islamabad khan promised to create jobs for the pole and build a new pakistan. i want to thank god the today we were successful and we got the mandate i now want to outline my vision for pakistan

we're going to uplift poor people we're going to uplift the labor and laborers who are weak who are dying of hunger our population is either extremely rich or extremely poor if god wills we will fulfill all our promises. i'll just say it was a some adventure faith has from the city of lahore imran khan's pakistan there is leading the polls according to iran khan this is a chance that he has been given after twenty two years of struggle in this first speech since this interim result has been announced since these partial results have been coming in he says that he wants a better relationship with his neighbors including of understanding india and also wants to work with the united states has also announced a complete reform agenda for pakistan things that sectors from education to health to fighting crime needs to be reformed and he has a capable team which is going to do it in his first speech from his friendly

capital he also said that he is open to all of the vote rigging allegations that have been leveled against him by various political parties and he will not hesitate to open an investigation into any irregularities. but opposition parties are still under deliberation there they are trying to figure out what to do because the pakistan muslim league that was the incumbent party which lost the majority this election has said that they reject this preliminary result they said that the votes have been tampered with they say that their mandate has been stolen from them they have been holding party meetings within the party and they're saying that they will also reach out to other political opponents to try and form some sort of a convergence of views about how these elections were held how these votes were counted and what is the way forward. joining us from washington d.c. is cullen cookman he's a pakistan analyst at the u.s. census a self a science very much for coming on to al-jazeera says talk about the elections my

face questions a simple one has the military decided which way these results have gone. well certainly the issue of military the military's role in the elections was a contentious one the p.l.o. and the run up to the vote and a few other parties as well allege that the military had been coercing candidates or otherwise interfering in the judicial processes around new washer if the former prime minister and the military itself did and ministry of level was involved in the polling process in securing a polling booth. i think you know in terms of the exact role. in determining the outcome it's hard to say but certainly the tensions between the previous government and the military were quite high and i think the general impression. going into the polls with it was that they were the ultimate result here if it is a p.t.i. government was what the military would look more favorably upon obviously we are

still waiting for the official results a lot of commentators a saying among colonies is leading but likelihood is that he's going to have to full a coalition how worrying is that this coalition could start to unravel. yeah i mean this is a case where unfortunately we're still waiting for the final results to see exactly what the distribution of seats in the new parliament might end up being. least based on preliminary figures this far in the partial results it seems like the p.t.i. will be coming in with a fairly substantial plurality so perhaps not necessary to negotiate with some of the some of the other parties but it certainly doesn't seem like though at least for now it doesn't seem like they might achieve an absolute majority so there will be a process of coalition negotiations and the exact makeup of the new government i think we can say with certainty right now until we get these final results one of the

question marks being put to what kind of government would a monk calmly it is their relationship with the u.s. how indeed that much change i hear he has already said the us chief pakistan like a mystery giving it billions of dollars to fight the war on terrorism in the region but with a militant militant extremists do you see a significant change that the kind of government that is to be formed might take with the us. you know again this made to bend to a certain extent on what sort of coalition partners iran may bring into the government and exactly what their views on things are certainly during the campaign campaign period and previously he's been very strong in voicing the view that pakistan should have more autonomy and more independence from the united states that said alternately a lot of pakistan's. security and foreign relations are driven by the military and

other actors and not necessarily the civilian government and given the other challenges potentially facing this government i'm not sure that you would see. a dramatic move soon after it comes into office but given that the us on the u.s. side is well it's been quite tense and president trump has taken more sort of moves in the past year to depress pakistan it's possible we could see heightened tensions between the two countries going forward very great feel a consequence of your thoughts on this coloring book then thanks very much for joining us thank you. yemen's rebels say they've attacked abu dhabi apple with a drought and an official from the united arab emirates has denied that claim the airport tweeted earlier that there had been an incident involving a supply vehicle they said not affected flights or operations it's not clear if the tweet was referring to the same incident. well for the last three years the u.a.e.

and saudi arabia have been leading a military coalition which is supporting yemen's government in its war against the hoof is the rebels have launched a number of missiles into saudi arabia in its capital riyadh in recent months tensions between saudi arabia and the her face have been rising since wednesday when the kingdom accused the rebels of stopping its oil shipments through the. strait and attacking two of its tankers the who things insist they attacked a saudi warship the closure could lead to substantial supply delays and high a shipping costs pushing up and ship prices worldwide the marbella straight is located between yemen on the arabian peninsula and djibouti and in the horn of africa the saudi and amorality coalition at war in yemen says it's trying to protect the shipping routes in the gulf of aden and the red sea which are used to bring middle eastern oil and goods from asia through the serious canal to europe well a spokesman for the u.n.

secretary general stefan to jericho says the latest events highlight the need for dialogue to end the crisis in yemen where all these events to raise underscore the need to put an end to this conflict and to find a political solution as if we still needed to be reminded after all these years after all the suffering of the yemeni people. this conflict is and has been has had regional implications when. commercial navigation is starting to get impacted the movement of goods from global trade to start to get impacted all these the continuance of this conflict has many many implications the most important war being the suffering of civilians in yemen. mamoun abu nowa is a military analyst and the retired jordanian air force general he says sustained pressure from the who he is is threatening the saudi coalition. it's

a war of attrition now we're on a stage of war of attrition and who see action against these two tanker the. drone which abu dhabi airport as the hostess i just said and we need a video from that airplane hitting that target to confirm to say to get the truth out of it because the. denying that they have any problem concerning drawn on whatever the hoose he is using this strategy the defense of their own strategist sort of which is iran adopted in the gulf area and that. killing the that will not stop if if you raise more sanctions on asif if you do any according to the nuclear deal also sold they saying to the world would not why it will stop the flow of oil in or most or in babil

mandate and that it is not all ten that develop these two. ritzy or. the alternative is that is about seven thousand mile trip takes two to three weeks to reach these trade thing between asia africa europe and the whole world so i think it will be. yemen need a political solution that had a military solution and it's very difficult very difficult and it's a very complicated issue of the to have any solution on this to see all iranian support depends or know and support and drones and fullest economy side which is very important that's good but allies abu dhabi or device imagine if the nuclear facility the but i can facility on an abu dhabi or hitting the water that is a volatile hitting vehicle. indications or hitting very vital targets so it's

really. it is it's a threat nobody could ignore that it's a big. it's a bigger threat what they are doing with the service missile with the ship it's another threat so they having the capability with this strategy difference of deterrent strategy using as he met three quare to get their objective and they did that would be to think of soda thank you. coming up on this news out from london stage of your first we've got. sorrow turns to anger in greece song blame the authorities for the high death toll from this week's wildfires facebook stock takes a nose dive wiping out one hundred twenty billion dollars in market value and manchester united and ac milan kick off their priest series in preparations with an epic shooter.

syrian government forces are inching closer to the front here with the israeli occupied golan heights as they continue their offensive on the southwest inching forces could be seen raising the government flag over the village of how how dimia it's three kilometers north of connections city which is the main border point with the occupied golan heights from a stephanie decker isolated. we've been witnessing the most intensive fighting that we've seen and we've been here for the last four or five days government forces backed by russia on this last pocket of opposition held territory which is controlled by a group affiliated with ice and what has been significant today is that we've actually seen and you can probably see behind me outgoing rocket fire now. we've seen syrian government forces for the first time on the ground through the lens of

our camera moving in vehicles and launching a ground attack against the eisel affiliated group so basically it is an intensive campaign they want to take this back it's the last pocket in southwest syria there's also been spillover across the fence because as you can see the fighting is so close and in the distance you can now see airstrikes it has been such an intensive campaign and the government with its russian ally very keen to take it back a russian delegation has arrived in beirut to discuss plans to repatriate one of the million syrian refugees but really have a display say they were don't want to return home because there's nothing left of them saying a ha the reports from the back of valley in eastern lebanon. the kremlin says it has a plan to repatriate refugees to lebanon on a delegation headed by alexander love vantive president vladimir putin special

envoy on syria presented its proposals to government leaders in beirut a few details were divulged at least publicly but russia is asking the international community to play a role we all understand that the syrians go. capable of doing much of financial assistance because of age. if you will be international you must contribute to this. conference. lebanese leaders have said they welcome russia's efforts to ensure the return of refugees so has jordan both countries host hundreds of thousands of refugees and have complained about the burden on that host nations and russia promised any return these will be voluntary but refugees want the un to oversee the operation and provide international security guarantees. the united nations says it still does not have the details of russia's repatriation plan and while it says it is ready to engage in discussions the international

organization continues to insist syria is still not safe and that any plan must be in line with international standards. the group family just like many refugees here say they can't return they list many obstacles from fear to the lack of jobs more or less you have nothing to return to our house has been looted and no one is there to help us. we are afraid of the regime of legal that my husband will be forcibly conscripted in the army who will work to feed my kids. for many the war is not over russia and syria see it differently even though there is no negotiating settlement to the conflict. i think going back returning to their country should be dying and link building and building is the scene of the news you need to address the root causes of the conflict i think this is the most it's not the first time

russia has asked the international community to help rebuild syria but those countries have linked reconstruction money to a political transition that involves the u.s. it's not clear if that position has changed with the changes underway in syria. lebanon. on palestinian has died after a knife attack in the occupied west bank the israeli army says it shot dead the palestinian who carried out the attack the illegal settlement of a dam to the north of ramallah three israeli settlers have been injured are in critical condition. the u.s. government is racing to meet a thursday deadline to reunite thousands of children with parents they were separated from the us mexico border most on the five already back with their parents following the court deadline but the trump administration has identified two thousand five hundred fifty won't children over the age of five it says were separated from their parents according to a government attorney one thousand and twelve parents had been successfully

government forces have raised their flag over the village of al how my dear just three kilometers from the israeli occupied golan heights. now somalia's government is pursuing its first of a prosecution against female genital mutilation following the death of a ten year old girl the practice which is also known for its short short hand of s.g.m. involves altering or injuring female genital organs for nonmedical reasons activists across the world are trying to stop the practice and in somalia peace to be momentum which could change the lives of many women and goals with somalia's deputy prime minister mahathir mohamad delayed says the case is a developing one divine one for the country. the prosecutor has no appointed and sort of new to investigate this case together with the criminally perspicacious the facts and says there if you can seize collecting information and leave this is

really a defining moment for so much. but joining me in the studio is a jerk our time she's the head of global advocacy at forward an african human rights organization thanks very much for coming into al-jazeera described there as a defining moment does the how it is how it feels in this battle against f.e.m. it definitely is a defining moment particularly as the prevalence in somalia is so high and we are please forward them other activists are very pleased to see this move being taken we hope it goes to its logical conclusion i.e. there's a conviction at the end of it but it shouldn't at the moment it's only the parents who've been arrested but we want to see not only the demand side but we want the supply side dealt with as well so we would like to see that cut is also. followed up and convicted it does feel as a political will so that the top is saying this has to stop you talk about the

parents i understand it wasn't the only child a ten year old girl who was being caught at the same time and oversee they survived so she is also a cultural battle isn't it female genital mutilation is a social norm it's something that has been practice in communities for generations but we all recognise now as the world changes as activists are speaking out as african women are speaking out that this is not something that we want to continue but what we are pleased to see in this particular case is that there is the political will that is going to create at the end a bling environment for these conversations to happen and for the change to occur the places we're talking about where it still does happen places africa middle east's parts of southeast asia they have this one thing in common i guess which is the patriotic oh. is that the issue really is that the women's priorities are really at the bottom of the heat definitely i think what you find in

a lot of our communities that do practice female genital mutilation that's affected by female genital mutilation. women's issues girls' issues children's issues are always at the bottom of the agenda and neal dominated thinking it takes the lead and this is where to find where communities practice not only female genital mutilation but child marriage and other forms of gender based violence i mentioned areas already communities even places like the u.k. where we're sitting right now it also is happening is there are enough political will there is obviously in somalia at the moment but across the world is it up to the politicians to be doing more as well i think it's very much dependent on politicians to create their environment not only create the environment in terms of a legislative framework but also to work with the community so so have a long planned by which they educate the communities empower their girls talk to their parents look at the human rights aspects of violations that and head rent in

female genital mutilation so that communities recognize that this is something we want to abandon that hope so that you're across time thank you so much for coming into tokyo. hundreds of people have taken to the streets of ethiopian capital to protest over the murder of a nile down construction manager is body was found inside a car in alice of a police are not yet clear who was behind the attack the prime minister says he is utterly shocked by his death the dam project and its impact on the river nile has caused tensions with egypt answered. leaders of the brics bloc of emerging economies are calling for an open and inclusive trading system it comes in the wake of a number of protectionist tariffs introduced by u.s. president donald trump or a metasearch has more from the annual brics summit being held in johannesburg. leaders from five of the world's leading emerging markets say they are united when

it comes to trade they say protectionism which is being pushed by u.s. president donald trump should be rejected here. what is constant is the flare up of geopolitical conflicts and the escalation of protectionism and you need. better regularly affect emerging markets and developing countries. we must work together with the united nations the g twenty and the world trade organization to safeguard the rules based multilateral trading system liberalise and facilitate trade and investment and reject protectionism outright is the first time presidents from the brics meeting since donald trump threatened to impose tariffs on chinese imports economists say the trade could also hurt smaller countries. some theer transplants will stifle global economic growth leaders at the bric summit say increasing global trade encourages economies of all countries to grow but emerging economies could be damaged if the u.s.

imposes tariffs on certain goods but it's still a strong post tariffs have given brazil russia india china and south africa more reason to increase trade cooperation between them it's also force china the world see could not just economy after the united states to look for other markets to buy and sell its products china has been the most important trading partner with the u.s. so as u.s. to china on but now with leading trade tension we can be certain bad in the next few years to trade between those two countries will be heard for watt along with a very volatile exchange rate market exchange market. for china to extend or to strengthen other relations are europe and africa is top choices because of the share share size of those markets. brics leaders in south africa have suggested and never need to be held world players discuss the

differences and perhaps prevent a global trade but that to happen all parties have to agree to come to the table and try to find a balance between promoting national interests and those of the global community al-jazeera janice. while the brazilian president has been attending that summit backhoe engineers have been innovative new technological solutions to the nation's problems an issue imo explains from power. brazil believes it has the solutions to many of the problem shared by its fellow brics members such as in medicine and aviation all major developing economies home to forty percent of the world's population with a vision that most would agree is straining to fulfil its potential the world is becoming less western white less concentrated less homogeneous and it would be better even for the world to leave space for briggs countries to make this inference and even have more power and control this transition to

a world that is still as westernized all five brics members are looking to their strengths to see what they can best contribute to the growth of their alliance brazil has this technology hub outside. very clearly there to have many benefits we're exploring. more deeply this is. an example is this surveillance balloon operated by one person for monitoring large spaces big events and to our surprise even our own interview with one of the project developers it is a presume produced and by no likes i believe the olympic games we have other olympic games that have the word cups and a lot of evidence a persistent monitary. should do the survivor stuff to it with a bullet absorbent skin it's also ideal for monitoring illegal deforestation and poaching but we hear it spotted the nearby fire it's manufacturers believe it can

thrive in south africa india or russia brazil's technological future is here developing the technological innovations that they believe will be of interest to most celso their partners in brics and beyond. five brics members have their problems brazil struggling to emerge from recession china in a trade war with the us all searching for a shared solutions when we start working together i think we can all grow together and the thing that i think i see brazil offering for this is the talent and the flexibility and the open mind that brazil has now perhaps at the tenth bric summit all members will play to their strengths and embrace common interest. so it was a discount bourse brazil. zimbabwe and south preparing to vote in their first elections without long time

ruler robert mugabe at the helm his leadership was marked by allegations of fraud on monday is no different when the opposition already criticizing the election commission for irregularities from harare the polls. you just days to go until the presidential election if your children will be shut out from school and opposition parties say they receive regularities with the electoral process including problems with the ballot papers and i don't think it's sensible for elections to be described as they've raised them in a series of meetings with the electoral commission and all the parties the commission that led. display but there. again it's possible and the police and. the representatives of the rulings and who p.f. party of former president robert mugabe walked out of this meeting saying they'd

been insulted the opposition represented in this seemed to be implying that isn't impartial and that it is on the side of the only but they participated in selecting those commissions and. it does not engage some people who want only to hear as political parties and those accusations are completely untrue. with no agreement reached opposition supporters came to hear what their leader nelson chamisa had to say mix sure that we the people. took the deception and will stop this ninety guns i do if. we are going to you know our numbers and defeat them in fact we want to make sure that they will not steal this election. the opposition enjoys overwhelming support in the urban areas it is no longer backed by western government as it was during mugabe's tenure and short of money and it is the

rulings only p.f. parties paraphernalia is much more visible here in the capital harare like this banner on the side of their party headquarters and the party has decades of experience of using violence and other tactics. when past elections were widely seemed to be on free and unfair. but some things have changed since mugabe was deposed in a coup last year under the watch of his successor and zanu p.f. presidential candidate emerson won ghagra the campaigns haven't seen the widespread violence of the past he needs the polls to seem credible the opposition already say they're not. al-jazeera harare zimbabwe. un and nigerian officials are desperately trying to register the huge number of refugees crossing the border from cameroon people have been entering on a daily basis to flee escalating separatist violence our reporter act with interest

has more from the nigerian city of i bow. this is the foster of registration is this center of more than four thousand five hundred people of issues are talking about new our rivals every day from across the border which by the way is just a few kilometers away from where i'm standing now these people on fuel will have to undergo all different processes of registration now in this room is where the details of every refugee is taken the biometrics will be taken and then they will be fully registered after the full registration exercise will be to shoot some form of identification and then a refugee is qualify for assistance for the time being only two bodies administering that assistance to these huge number of people who have crossed over into niger to treat because of the situation in cambodia now this is a nigerian refugee and you see as well as the united nations high commission for refugees now and i was just also on this side of the border and then i decided to

go to receive a formal influx of refugees ahead of the october first celebrations which is of course the day the separatism was only a movement towards us it's independence day for fear fears are there of clashes between the two parties the pro independent and the government troops and camels so there is a lot of fear and feeling that there will be more people coming over across the border some of them coming with just the clothes on their backs and nothing so they require food in the shelter and that will sort of quiet medicine. a massive sandstorm has swept across northwest china it's video shows the moment a massive wall of sound ingolf the goal of the city and using visibility to just one hundred meters it's in the gobi desert which is subject to extreme weather conditions. greenland have long lines on sled dogs for hunting and fishing
