are you going to balance that relationship between russia and the west i mean his new prime minister told challenges here. in pakistan the tally isn't official but imran khan claims victory. i'm about this and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up an escalation or maybe not yemenis who think say they've hit abu dhabi airport with a drone the m a rotty say it didn't happen. the u.s. uses a conference promoting religious freedom to threaten turkey. and day after washington and the e.u. call a truce in their trade war france's president says the agreement isn't good enough

. i guess any cricketer turned politician imran khan has declared victory in the general elections promising to build a new pakistan votes are still being counted and the official result won't be confirmed until friday but rival parties are already questioning the outcome of some a bit of it has more from lahore. supporters of pakistan tehreek e insaf party celebrated their victory even before dissolves was announced initial vote tallies gave him a decisive leaves honey i am getting a borehole on has promised a lot for the people the huge number of votes the people gave him because he can do what others think. he should the labor his promises and he should do a lot for the masses he should deliver now otherwise he situation where the worse i

was sorry for. his supporters voted for change and after twenty two years in politics it finally worked for their leader. a lot. i'm thankful to god for the twenty two year struggle today god has given me the opportunity that i have dreamt of a dream for pakistan accountability will start with me then my ministers and then we will work our way down. but the vote count has been controversial pakistan muslim league which won a majority in twenty thirteen says their mandate was stolen from them there's also been criticism from put to be a religious correlation and others but the election commission denies there was any foul play and how many years ago i hear the complaints that we received procedural in nature and there is no complaint of misconduct in the elections so we are satisfied that the execution of the elections this free and fair. imran khan's

one pledges of change in people and by. even those who did not vote for him want him to deliver by improving living conditions healing the economy and fighting corruption your v.a. you come on board so you can take your money reach of a government comes it should do good for us we want water gas and electricity. obviously there are other problems as well they should be problems. in punjab province plans to form a coalition government but he has promised to fight tooth and nail to save their provincial influence the challenge for the cricketer turned politician is to create an inclusive government and then keep it running for five years so far all major political parties apart from the p.d.i. have reservations about the results they've called for an all parties conference in the federal capital islamabad it is going to be a numbers game to form a government and imran khan does not have those numbers alone the big question is who will he form an alliance with. al-jazeera the whole region has

a pakistani t.v. anchor and a political analyst and he says imran khan has been responding to those rigging claims in a very novel way. well this is a very tricky situation because the same thing happened in the last elections when emraan said there was a lot of rigging and his ballot boxes weren't opened not today the opposition is saying exactly the same but here i think we got a breath of fresh air and he said in his speech that he's willing to see whatever allegations and whatever you know mismanagement has been taking place he's willing to basically investigate it but to here the situation is not that d.t.i. has what the situation is different gelati of the matter age which might take place between p m l n and the pox on people's party no that is where the real crux lies yemen's huth the rebels say they've attacked abu dhabi airport with a drone a u.a.e. official has denied the plane the airport tweeted earlier that there had been an

incident involving a supply vehicle but said it had not affected flights or operations it's not clear if the tweet was referring to the same incident on wednesday the hoof he said they'd attacked a saudi arabian naval vessel but the saudis say they'd actually hit an oil tanker for the last three years the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have been leading a military coalition which is supporting yemen's government and its war against the who fees in the past few months rebels have launched a number of missiles into saudi arabia and its capital riyadh. a spokesman for the un secretary-general stefan to judge says the latest events highlight the need for dialogue to end the crisis what all these events do is 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 a 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 one being the suffering of civilians in yemen they had their vote is an associate professor near east south asia center the national defense university and he says the whole things may not be responsible for the drone attack on the u.a.e. airport. i think that the these do tend to over exaggerate their reach and their prowess they're aiming for a strategic effect to cause unease in the u.a.e. and the saudi heartland which have been mostly not affected by the war in yemen they want to bring that war home but the second possibility is that they have been able to have some sort of minor impact and if that is in fact the case i wouldn't

be surprised to hear the way i do it if i was a hoot the i'd have a drone attack i'd wait for the denial that i'd show footage but we just don't have enough to know right now the who these have surprised everybody with their ballistic missile capacity i believe that they are being resupplied by iran and the fact that they have been able to reach out towards riyadh so far they haven't been able to hit any targets in riyadh but that is disturbing for the saudis. the drones have been an ever present feature of the battlefield they've been providing reconnaissance and providing attacks for the who these and that's just the way of warfare now every modern battlefield now sees drones with the russians have had drone attacks in syria this is just the way it's going to be going forward for everybody the job of ministration has set off a new diplomatic row with turkey over a u.s. citizen who's been in jail since twenty sixteen and as a state department correspondent rosalynn jordan reports the threat of sanctions

against ankara came during a conference to promote religious freedom. u.s. vice president mike pence talked about persecution during the first ever state department conference opera's hacking religious freedom around the world hence highlighted the case of u.s. born minister andrew bronson jailed nearly two years ago in turkey on charges he was involved in the attempted coup against president recip tayyip erdogan on but no one expected pence to say this if turkey does not take immediate action to free this innocent man of faith and send him home to america. the united states will impose significant sanctions on turkey until pastor andrew bronson is free to napster a tweet from president donald trump confirming the threat he is suffering greatly this innocent man of faith should be released immediately the turkish foreign minister immediately fired back also on twitter no one dictates to turkey we will

never tolerate threats from anybody rule of law is for everyone no exception no i said i do this on you not to the fight over bronson's legal freedom has reignited what seemed to be a bit of reconciliation between the u.s. and turkey trump recently congratulated aired a one on winning reelection raising hopes the two could result disputes over turkey's plans to buy russian made missile defense systems and over u.s. support for courage fighters battling eisel in syria the sanctions threat against turkey has overshadowed what was supposed to be one of the trumpet ministrations foreign policy initiatives protecting human rights or more specifically protecting religious freedom the conference discussed how people's religious beliefs make them targets for everything from harassment to death and what the international community can do to protect them indeed the vice president's speech highlighted the

abuse suffered by the rule hinge of me and maher the use edis of iraq and syria to bouton buddhists at the hands of beijing and jews living in europe and the united states but two new programs that pence announced may do more to help small christian communities around the world than these other people's human rights groups say that's worrisome what was most troubling for me with the absence of any notion that people have the right not to practice a free and fair national that people have the right not to have someone else's faith imposed upon them. but this new conflict with turkey may end up overshadowing the u.s. efforts to protect people's right to worship as well as the oversight to ensure the u.s. doesn't impose its beliefs on other countries rosalyn jordan al-jazeera the state department and israeli and a palestinian man have died after a report purported stabbing attack in the occupied west bank israeli was living in

the interior of the united states and then lost track of by the government or in the most. in the the most concerning category four hundred thirty one of these parents were deported from the country without their children the government says that no one during this entire process has been removed from the country without willingly leaving their child behind and that assertion is fiercely contested by immigration attorneys who have cited client after client that claim they were removed from the country while protesting theirs importation on the grounds that their children were still detained in shelters or elsewhere across the country also immigration attorneys are trying to contest another figure they say the government claims that one hundred twenty. parents are waived their rights to reunify with their kids those are some that are deported and some that haven't been and the
