al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martin dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes. he's got the most votes but the man column will likely need to make a deal to put together a new pakistan government. but a new monitors say all was not fair and violence did affect the vote opposition parties are already claiming vote rigging. stun grenades and clashes around the al aksa mosque compound as israeli security forces push back palestinian crowds. in china's baby vaccine scare is the

government being influenced by social media. the first imran khan in the party he created appears set to control the destiny of pakistan they have a commanding lead with only a handful of seats still to be confirmed but he'll likely need allies to form a coalition government in within the past hour or so european union manas says they've raised questions about the campaign saying it wasn't a level playing field the official results are yet to come in but this is where we stand so far now in pakistan terry insaaf that's a p.t.i. that's leading with one hundred fifteen seats his closest rival is the ruling pm and land of the jailed former leader sharif he's managed to get to sixty four seats the party of the s.s. . the native former prime minister benazir bhutto that's the p.p.p.

that's got forty four seats in the smaller parties combined or at forty three now in order to form a government iran car needs coalition partners to get a majority of one hundred thirty seven seats we'll be going live to the capital islamabad and to lahore in just a bit first let's listen to the assessment of those e.u. election monitors it is our assessment that despite positive changes to the legal framework with the new elections act and a stronger and more transparent election commission the electoral process of twenty eighteen was negatively affected by the political environment the number of violent attacks targeting political parties party leaders candidates and election officials severely affected the campaign environment. many of our and to look at to acknowledge the systematic efforts to undermine the former ruling parties through

cases of corruption contempt of court and terrorist charges against its leaders and kind of it's frightening to correspondents on this because i'm a binge of eight who is in lahore for us and in the capitalism of a big. come all those objections that are being raised by the european monitors how significant an impact will they have on the way this election result is. this bug astonished and and if you look at the boston anything to go by there already is no objection on the elections that happen in progress don they've already been controversial the opposition had already been shouting fall but as you saw in this latest report by the e.u. they have a bit of some discrepancies. violins. basically did have an effect

on the election campaigning we lost a lot of people here across pakistan during dad however most of the people who have wanted war and war should be respected that day have given a mandate to a political party which in the new comer if it is if you look at the pakistani politics it's a huge surprise that emraan kahn had been able to make it through all of this and right now as you mentioned he needs that magic number of one thirty seven which he can get very easily because he doesn't have to go to the bigger partied he has to go to the smaller bardeen like the m.q.m. in karachi all showed up against on muslim league q which is another party there are independent so they're very confident they will be able to form the government emraan khan and those who say that if anybody wants a recount get ready for the. name the constituency i'm ready to go for died so what

did need right now. the opposition really kept really know was. a friend already started running the current india open nation benches in parliament so did the sign that perhaps it may work out by its by allegations about the elections but as far as the people are the larger concern they see the more numenta moment for don it is going to be imran khan's biggest day he's given one hundred day plan and he's going to deliver if you're going to keep fulfilling those promises already going to fail because the challenges facing the country are huge plus the opposition is also now warning but to get really the religious headlines they will be trying to convince the pm and also the p.p.p. that they should go for education they won the elections not in war and throw a lot at stake the situation is extremely fluid and imran khan boy he's got

a strong correlation we show see what happens within the next few days all right. live in islamabad the pakistani capital now let's go to the political heartland of pakistan the the state of the province of punjab in the capital holer a correspondent there is a sum of interfaith asama the reservations expressed by the european union monitors and indeed by many of the opposition parties it does seem doesn't it that did not stick politics of of pakistan is now something of the past. absolutely whether these political parties like you don't launch a month on the commanding lead he is going to form the government he will have coalition but mentioned these are going to be smaller bodies or independents people who tend to go with whoever wins whoever is in the majority so it will be a comfortable win for him on the. and he already sees him as the prime minister inventing something that he jumped off in the last twenty two yes but as you

mentioned there are some real concerns about the legitimacy of these elections and that is what the opposition has been calling for the see that their mandate has been stolen from them the progress on those in need there was seeing that it has been a two pronged rigging approach where people were intimidated chorused and forced to leave the party and then there was rigging on the day of elections to be the charges that have been denied by the election commission of august on and now it will be taken into the courts but allegations have been strengthened by the e.u. observer mission saying that the situation in twenty thirteen was better than it is in twenty eight hundred thirteen if you remember. what happened was fighting a bloody insurgency but all has changed it was a much secured environment for people to go out and vote and the e.u. observer mission saying that it wasn't as good as it was previously also worth noting is the reservations from a group of non-government organizations wanted to the election saying that the

results of come out in these thirty five constituencies across the country the margin of votes that have been discarded and the margin that the the the window and most of these bases of the box on they begin softens one is no us so the number of boards discarded is higher and the margin of winning is less and that is something that this election commission will have to seriously look into the soft you can run on has already come out and said that he will be open to all sorts of investigation if there are complaints about constituencies. thank you very much. from the whole affair. now israeli security forces have closed the gates of the mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem after fighting with palestinian worshippers. stun grenades were used to disperse crowds that are gathered for friday prayers

there's increased tension between israelis and palestinians following the israeli military's violent response to weeks of protests in gaza andrew simmons is our correspondent not far from the al aqsa mosque compound in occupied east jerusalem what's the situation now under. well martin it's still an ongoing situation in that the worshippers have been stuck inside of the rock and indeed not only the dome of the rock but the key billy mosque to the front of it and they've been stuck inside there for more than two and a half hours and we've heard from one which is the author of see the religious authority representing the custodians of the al aqsa mosque which will jane ians they've made a statement very recently it's just lining what they say happened they say there was an invasion by israeli security forces that two of their gods were injured one or was hit by

a sound grenade as they describe it the other was assaulted and they have said that four of the gates have been shot down by the security forces they haven't given a reason for this now the security forces have made a statement that there was an unclear reason for the storming of the compound by security forces not unclear reason it seems to be according to this statement that they say that rocks and fireworks were thrown at the security forces who were actually allowed to position themselves inside the mosque compound that's a routine thing but then large reinforcements came rushing in and there was this. situation whereby people were evacuated by the wax from the site large numbers of people were evacuated but as i say worshippers are still inside those two mosques

and afternoon prayers a jew very soon and we're hearing a few minutes ago that more security forces have arrived are going into the mosque compound alright for now thank you very much indeed anderson is that that ongoing situation at the al aqsa mosque. compound and we can go to girls and because their people are gathering again close to the border fence with israel continuing those weekly demonstrations against the israeli blockade charles trafford is our correspondent there we've seen tensions at the al aqsa mosque compound what's the situation in gaza today. plus rights where an eighteenth week of these protests now and these latest protests come after well since this time last week they've been to escalations of violence between hamas and various armed factions and israel so the situation here as you can imagine is very tense people are just beginning to gather and we expect large protests later we've seen

tear gas fired and we've heard on a couple of occasions what sound like live ammunition being fired no reports of injuries yet so to say that certainly over the week we've seen less of those incendiary balloons and kites attacks launched by protesters here in gaza that israel says destroyed around three thousand hits is a private land and crops we understand today so far according to israel storage says that nine fires are being attributed close to gaza having been started by either balloons or kites hamas and the various armed factions have said that these protests are completely legitimate they describe these protests as being peaceful and they have warned certainly off the escalation of violence we saw in the week that israel will pay with its blood for the killing of three hamas fighters that were killed on wednesday night following

a sniper attack on an israeli soldier relatively close to here that israeli soldier was injured in that attack israel is basically as bellicose as ever certainly a lot of pressure on the israeli government from the defense minister and one minister saying that israel was being dragged into a war by hamas and that it was approaching this conflict with giant steps there are personal attention here this morning yes you and i just said nothing that can get you to tell us a little bit more quite quickly please about that report about the israeli army investigating itself as to its conduct and what is led to the deaths of more than one hundred forty palestinians. well that's right according to the newspaper haaretz this report of the findings of this report expected to say that these injuries were caused by no intentional targeting of palestinian protesters we understand having spoken to the military that the investigation is still ongoing

apparently there are a number of cases i just refer to my notes here that are being put forward to a fact finding assessment mechanism so they are being looked at separately that investigation or is ongoing and the results of that investigation will then have to be cleared by the office for the for the military attorney general so there is a lot more to do in this case i mean certainly israel wants to show that it is being transparent and is investigating the killings of these more than one hundred forty protesters and injuring of thousands of others but as i say having spoken to the israeli army smalling it seems as if we're a bit early yet to to predict exactly the outcome of this investigation had live in gaza thank you. we've got a lot more to come on this hour including. a dam near collapse in laos are slowly receding but many are complaining they should have been alerted are moved to safety

much sooner a vote for change in bob wills pin their hopes on next week's elections to revive their flagging fortune. and in sport find out why cristiana ronaldo is being fined millions of dollars. the remains of fifty five american soldiers who were killed during the korean war on their way home on this the sixty fifth anniversary of the armistice which ended the fighting a u.s. military plane was allowed to land in north korea on friday morning the gesture follows kim jong un's promise to donald trump it's estimated the remains of five thousand three hundred americans who are classified as missing a still to be handed a for syrian government forces have retaken the southern city of connecticut to the israeli occupied golan heights government troops have entered the city for the

first time in four years after weeks of heavy fighting they've been trying to clear the surrounding province of i saw and other opposition groups the remaining fighters have now agreed to leave for rebel held areas of northern syria after a deal brokered by russia well after years of silence and uncertainty thousands of syrian families are now being given official death certificates for their missing relatives but the government hasn't really said bodies nor any evidence of the cause of death many of them have been detained or forcibly disappeared by president assad's forces then the holder reports now from beirut in neighboring lebanon. for years nothing about her husband opposition activist best so hard to be until recently when the syrian government declared that he died in two thousand and fifteen he was among the more than eighty thousand people believed by rights groups to have been detained or forcibly disappeared since the uprising began in two

thousand and eleven in recent weeks and after years of silence more and more families are being told their relatives are dead risen distracted. and that. this is a heart attack. yeah and this is. very hard because they and some way they. used. to agree that he was not killed. as he says so far there are four thousand names of detainees or those who disappeared now officially registered as deceased the dates go back years among them. a well known nonviolent opposition activist from. his family was recently informed that he got here and his brother mohamad had died in two thousand and thirteen while in detention relatives find out from civil registry offices or

the military police families are being told what they long suspected they now want to know where the bodies are buried and the true cause of death. the right to know what happened to their international human rights groups have accused the syrian government of large scale torture and extrajudicial killing in its prisons the exact number of detainee deaths while in detention is not known some rights groups say thirty thousand died of torture and dire conditions since the conflict began seven years ago other rights groups say the number is as high as sixty thousand and seventy or prison alone amnesty international estimated that thirteen thousand were killed in mass hanging's between two thousand and eleven and two thousand and fifteen. families of the detained who live in rebel areas are able

to raise their voices but those in government territory have to remain silent the fear now is the government may be trying to cover up likely crimes against humanity and prevent families from seeking justice. they are the winners now. or they don't care about and. because of. and they want to close this five finish it the families say the case of the detainees and the disappeared needs to be dealt with in any post conflict settlement it seems the syrian government wants to avoid that by burying the file and along with it the troops. the route right now we can speak darwish founder of the syrian center for media and freedom of expression he's also a former political prisoner who was jailed by the assad government for more than three years he's joining us live now from paris thank you very much for talking to us do you think that the families of these people who have now been deemed dead

by by virtue of heart attack or a virus do you think their families will ever find out the truth. thank you very much actually has been there and all of us know the real story those people. under torture and also through the military field court. and the lety thousands of syrian nobody. believe the thousands of us suddenly have heard that in the same period this is not be accepted. for sure and. a lot of investigation a lot of legal war we need to sublists all these details and we need to be sure that this cases will not be forgotten or not be ignored. a huge mass. and crime against humanity

for the last seven years done from the regime especially within thousands of syrian family tell us tell us a little bit about your experience because you yourself you were in prison for more than three years tell us about the conditions in which you were kept. yes tortured and in syria this is not a new thing but the new thing after two thousand and eleven it's become a kind of punishment usually the security services use the torture tools to get information from the prisoners but after two thousand and eleven specially two thousand and thirteen and it becomes. to kill the people to punish them because they are the fuse that assad regime where you tortured years that have been they really sorry were you tortured just out years. yes sir

of course this is very ordinary and for all of the prison others by example we moved to the fourth division. stay there with my colleague six months and we have two session torture they really without any kind of investigation our colleague. who is that was that with us under torture while he was twenty eight. years old on the and dr totally civilian. wendy and thousands of the names was we know them and we walk with them and they are totally civilian and some of them like a shot of a g. he is one of the leader of the nonviolence movement and syria yes can you can you describe some of the forms of torture that you endured or that you witnessed.

. yes indeed them actually by example when i moved even to the head a quarter of the security service. four days of. torture they thought that i'd die so they put my body with those who would be transferred but i'm very lucky that the. find that i'm still alive and send me back to the silly but this is as i said this is daily had been daily up to now unfortunately years and years and we always talk about this and there was a lot of over them a lot of for all of us c.c. is the fourth or all of us know and there was a huge number of this germany and witness and forth all and document all saw from the security service this is have been daily now while we are talking there are some of the syrian. killed because of the torch in the same place as the from the

same people and nothing to stop this behavior as and arash thank you very much indeed for sharing your experience with us here at out to tara thank you very much indeed. china's baby vaccine scandal has stirred a lively debate on social media in spite of the strict censorship the country's second largest maker of rabies vaccines was found to have validated regulations reducing a quarter of a million doses for children the government's one quickly into action even before the story was reported on state controlled media so it's social media now influencing the government's decision making here's our china correspondent adrian brown. china's social media users were unusually energized this week it's one of the few ways people here can let off steam. the hash tag chunk chunk vaccine case was viewed more than four hundred and seventy million times chunk chunk is the name

of the company that sold fake vaccines that were administered to more than two hundred and fifty thousand children. food is involved in a project that tracks censorship on china's social media he's based across the border in semi autonomous hong kong where laws governing freedom of speech are more relaxed in the vaccine scandal fu says the government is monitoring rather than listening in one way the. morning the puppet at the same kind of different. media as well as the propaganda machine you tried to we ask the rakli to defend common in the public eye also on social media the vaccine scandal was being discussed on social media days before state controlled media were allowed to report on it that only began to happen after

china's premier league had chung issued a statement just before midnight last sunday just five days earlier the premier had spoken out after another health issue had stirred debate on social media. it was prompted by a new film based on the true story about a cancer survivor who illegally imports drugs from india to help other sufferers who can't afford them. it's not clear if the premier saw the film but he called on the government to do more to help cancer patients. the two cases have struck a chord with the public. i believe what we say online play a big role in what the government does what people say oh internet is powerful. we're worried what we say will be censored him and some of the posts that have already been deleted and we don't know why you want to access this article posts deleted by chinese census are captured by food and his team they try to work out

the various ways users try to disguise their descent it's an endless cyberspace game of cat and mouse adrian brown al jazeera beijing. rob's here with the weather and the european heatwave may have reached its peak today rob yes we're not quite at max temps time i looked in england we're thirty two so we've got a few to go yet but this is high we're looking in the streak of what is really extreme heat has been much the same now for about two weeks and these are thursday's temperatures thirty six to thirty eight is a good spread but maybe they don't mean very much look at the departure from what you'd expect and this is compared with the average we're eleven to sixteen degrees above average called system plea for weeks that's why it's been so dramatic in devastated not just high temperatures it's also a certain lack of water a drive to exists now so this little fire outside berlijn didn't come to much but

that is the risk of the night when you saw the potential downing grease now of course that also means was dry if you've got low rivers river this isn't dissolute off this is the right surprise and it's not a unique picture does happen every now and again but it's obviously dot com and now we've had showers the eastern side of europe where it's not exactly a heat wave and we've had rain coming into the west but this rain is currently coming to us might actually mean something as a cold front and the showers themselves have some useful right that was kiev and their doctors are right but the significant change are i think is going to be what comes in here because the temps should drop from london's thirty or more to about twenty two and it will cool down after that marty thank you very much indeed rob last word to come here in the al-jazeera news hour including new suspicions about the death and destruction in greece feels origins believe the wildfires around athens were lit deliberately. to form official said she general suffers

a legal setback tatiana will explain in simple. a survivor of the genocide the million there are people who beg me to kill them when they're suffering but it didn't have the heart to do who's dedicated his life to searching the woods for bones of the victims of the srebrenica massacre. will leave them here is that all. you know hope of finally laying the pass to rest and giving peace to the victims' families because you need to if i could just find a think about i could bury him bone hunter on al-jazeera. the.

taking of the top stories here on the al-jazeera news. israeli soldiers have closed the gates of the. compound in occupied east jerusalem after fighting with palestinian worshippers stun grenades were used to disperse crowds gathered the friday prayers. and. nearing victory in

pakistan's general election with only a handful of seats yet to be confirmed but he will need allies to form a coalition government. and european union observers say the candidates did not get an even playing field there have even been several reports of violence and attacks on candidates in the run up to the election. let's look a little bit more closely at the transformation of imran khan from cricket captain to political leader his natasha going to. imran khan has lived many lives he's been a world cup crew. her a philanthropist and a long time opposition leader for two decades he's tried to disrupt pakistan's entrenched political system often plagued by corruption scandals now as the leader of the largest political party he's poised to become prime minister pakistanis may

soon find out if khan has the ability to deliver on promises of transforming their country when sharon i've got my promise that i will control the corruption and i will prove that we can have such a government here to where our ministers would be scared of engaging in corruption as our national accountability bureau will prosecute anyone including prime minister and ministers as it happens in the west. in addition to fighting corruption khan has promised to tackle poverty and improve access to health care and education but some have criticized khan for supporting the death penalty for blasphemy and legislation they say would persecute a minority muslim movement khan has been critical about the u.s. war in afghanistan and the use of drones within pakistan's border. with. the united states is. the sort of core war we. want to start with that is that is there is a focus on why what is in

a recent campaign appearance contoured supporters he understands critiquing government from the sidelines is much easier than implementing lasting change. easy solutions. an easy solution to the problems that pakistanis faced with does not exist nobody should take it that the money fester we have introduced could be easily implemented we need to change the system of governance completely. if khan assumes office allegations of election fraud and military interference will trail him but for now it appears he has vowed that it will no longer be politics as usual in pakistan seems to have resonated with voters natasha al-jazeera. i'm leaving got some breaking news coming from yemen saudi u.a.e. coalition aircraft have launched strikes on the city of his data within the past

few hours the city of the data you may remember is held by his the rebels who have claimed responsibility for a drone attack on abu dhabi international airport that was on thursday now data hosts a critically important seaport through which most of the country's food and supplies comes through so this is breaking news coming from yemen that saudi m.r.c. aircraft have launched air strikes on the city of the data that's the latest will get you more details on that as soon as we can in the meantime let's go back to the issue of pakistan because now we can speak to talat masood is a defense and political analyst he's joining us live from the capital islamabad thank you very much indeed for what point do you think will the will the results of the pakistan general election be called into question given the number of reservations that have been expressed not only by the opposition parties but also by the e.u. election monitors. realise. you

know there are reservations there is no doubt about it because the way that. members of the pakistan muslim league which was in power and was expecting to get back into power. that their people were imprisoned there and were taken into custody at the last minute or they were disqualified. for participating in the elections so it seemed as though the establishment as they call it in pakistan all the election commission was somewhat biased against ruling party but you have to see that the present elections the way that these were held obviously no one expected that imran khan's party would win as many seats as it has won so there were also. good pointed in the sense that you know there has been some sort of favoritism done but to what extent that has been done and very little this is

true or not i think it has yet to be determined because imran khan has been very forthright as far as saying that well if there is any doubt that there has been any interference or my election has been brought in any constraints i'm prepared to accept. sort of a recount so we have to see but the opposition parties and specially the religious parties are taking the lead and trying to sound form sort of a group of opposition parties to sort of build up resistance and say that these elections are not really. free and fair so these must be canceled and pressure elections should take place but i don't think that would be possible because the d.m.l. and the real sort of her research supports the most as a consequence i feel that they are not prepared for that right ok like that so the

question is because i think unless unless unless unless it is really proven that there has been fraud to that extent right if there has been some sort of general can i just jump in and can i just jump on that mr massoud and just ask you then what kind of complection you think the eventual coalition will have given given given the. speech he has to make if indeed the election result is validated and then he asked to make coalition who will be his coalition partners and what does that mean the future the future of pakistan. well i think most probably it would be the independents i think he will have to grow on them and i think the independents really very good as independents hoping their dividend

lined themselves with the party this means the most and they were expecting that probably they will align themselves with the ground so i think that was the most likely sort of a combination then there are certain well known to some small parties like him and others this may also see a better future for themselves to align with iran on. the p.t.a. now the fight against corruption seems to be in the centerpiece of imran khan's campaign and that by all accounts seemed to be a very very popular subject not just for pakistanis as a whole but specially for the younger generation. that is true but you know to fight corruption it's not all that easy it's easier said but there's other countries are also experienced personally in order to fight corruption and you need to sort of strengthen your institutions and your institutions must

themselves be free of corruption and then at the same time when the institutions are free of corruption and then the politics that politics is done in pakistan the way that people are elected for instance now the whole. you know the foundation of clout to stand for election this time was based including that of him grandparent was based on the so-called electable what does that electable mean that means the electable is one who is going to be sort of gets warts by virtue of not being sort of one who would sort of serve the community but he has a certain influence you know that he has holds over the community and then he spends money on them and then return vote for him well in that sense the whole system becomes you know we corrupt and they have to raise a lot of money so you see that all those people who have been fighting the

elections are the ones who are very moneyed so when money becomes the most important element in fighting elections i think it becomes very difficult to fight corruption so there are several areas in which iran will have to focus and not just by saying that it's only in governance that he will try to sort of ensure that that there ocracy and the politician is not corrupt colors that are out of it ok in which corruption can spread in pakistan and has to be controlled taleb sorry to jump in there we've run out of time thank you very much indeed feel for and analysis thank you. so. iraq's top shia cleric has demanded that a government be formed as soon as possible to deal with corruption as well as poor basic services grand ayatollah ali al sistani is cool mirrors that of protesters across iraq demonstrations started in the oil rich city of paris or in the south

thousands of protesters there say the government is neglecting the region whilst exploiting its resources politicians are struggling to form a government after the election in may which was marred by allegations of fraud we can talk to al-jazeera as imran khan now he is in the capital baghdad how far away is iraq from forming this government elections were months ago. the elections were on may third now what's happening is they were contested those results should be coming out in the next seven days or so and that's really what the highest. hope while the sermon on a friday at the mosque was about he wants the government to be expedited to be formed now why has the highest shia religious authority come out with a statement like that a lot of the protests are taking place in shia areas and the religious or torah jews are clearly concerned that if the protesters demands on the herd that they'll

spread across the country and they may even call to criticize the merge a of the highest religious or forty so this was a timely backing of the protest movement however it's friday today friday prayers have been over there's been a lot of call on social media a lot of noise on social media to try and get people out on the streets in bars or in baghdad we don't know whether that will actually generate into people being out in the streets for another few hours but certainly the protesters will have been void by those words from the highest religious or thora to shia religious or thora he's seeing it as a backing of what they want to now the government has listened to some of the protesters demands is bringing in kerosene from kuwait in a day deal struck with its neighbor kerosene power electricity generators and the hoping that the southern city of basra story will have at least seventeen hours of electricity a day so that's one of the key demands that the government is addressing but everybody is gearing up to see what size the protests are today what shape the

protest movement is on friday and indeed it's it is a regular occurrence isn't it. this time of year in iraq because temperatures saw don't wait around about fifty degrees centigrade in some places and the fact is they don't have electricity they don't have running water they are suffering from a basic lack of services out there. that's absolutely right there's been a structural problem in iraq for decades after the us led invasion occupation in two thousand and three a lot of iraq's infrastructure was destroyed and it simply hasn't been rebuilt it's also had to rely on its neighbors iran to supply electricity in iran says it's owed a billion and a hard dollars in unpaid bills and had to cut off the supply to iraq and iraq has actually been trying to strike deals with neighboring saudi arabia to become part of the regional grid to get electricity back into the country but it wasn't just about the two thousand and three u.s.

led invasion and occupation even before that saddam hussein when he was in charge really didn't develop the southern city of basra because he felt that they held an uprising against him after the ninety ninety one gulf war and in order to punish them simply didn't put any money into bars or so people have been facing this issue for decades and now it's built into a protest movement a protest movement that's emanating from the south but the government's very worried that it might actually spread to other parts of iraq we already heard the governor of. a province in the north say actually we do believe what the protesters are saying to be true and their demands are our demands as well iran can live in the iraqi capital baghdad thank you. now the number of dead from monday's down collapse in laos has risen to twenty seven with more than one hundred people still missing and as water levels recede villagers are questioning why they weren't moved to safety sooner and now there are conflicting reports on when cracks in the newly

built. firstly has more from still trying province in neighboring cambodia. and the water level in the se kong river which runs through the northern provinces of cambodia right next to the border with laos is slowly decreasing now near the border the water levels have dropped by about sixty centimeters here in still trying provinces it's still quite high at about twelve point four metres but it appears to have peaked its state roughly the same level for twenty four hours now further south in crossing province the water level is about twenty meters but just still two meters below the danger level there is a flood alerts in place in crotty province but no one has been evacuated officials have advised farmers who have crops in low lying areas to harvest their crops early in case there are floods now and still in trying province the number of people evacuated remains the same roughly about five thousand people and over in neighboring laos rescuers are still searching for the missing that number still
