why. the c.w. news live from berlin a final result in pakistan the election has been delayed but one candidate appears to have a clear leader former cricket star in running khan looks set to become pakistan's next prime minister following the early results in the country's election but the opposition has alleged that vote working took place. i thought in the trade dispute us president donald trump previously called the e.u. a fold when it comes to trade after talks with european commission president trump

now says the two have agreed to work towards zero tariffs and zero subsidies. and we have a special report from greece where our correspondent is following the rescue crews helping survivors of the wildfires there. like these replied god has been an unrelenting few days here with the fires broke out as they desperately search. then came the bodies relief and sorrow grief counsellor toll of the deadly wildfires. i'm seeing you so much going to thank you for joining us we start in pakistan where the results of wednesday's parliamentary elections have been delayed after slow counting the electoral commission is blaming computer glitches it says full results will be and by thursday night early results show the party of former cricket star imran khan is the hat that khan had been

a slight favorite ahead of the poll but his opposition is crying leadership asaro he says. he won't accept the outcome alleging the commission is working the result a benefit come on. let's get more of the story with pakistani political analyst aside from market in london asa thank you for joining us now we were expecting results and they've been delayed what do you make of the opposition's claims that there has been fraud so sure east party is principally concerned about a technical glitch with the election commission of pakistan's vote rigging voting process but actually the real driver of the of the of these allegations is really the mistrust between sharif's party and the military the two bodies of the military and the party have had a long running confrontation particularly since twenty thirteen and there's a history between sharif's and the military's constant interventions in politics

stemming from one thousand nine hundred ninety nine thousand and specifically. now the opposition as we're saying you know it's repeatedly claiming that the military is backing on and you say that the military has been accused of interference or how much influence does it really have been pakistan and why is that. so the military has a number of sources of influence of firstly it is remains very popular with the general population but secondarily the military has shown an demonstrated inclination for direct intervention so it really has the ability to remove any sitting government and the time it wants so that's it's not really in their stride you do that more recently they prefer to pull the strings from outside of direct rule but you know that that x. is sitting over sitting governments all the time and i said why is it that they seem to favor khan in the selection. i think that's probably a slight misconception in the sense that the military is supporting con it's rather

that the military is against the sharifs like i said they've had a long history of confrontation in the military i mean like i said it from the one thousand nine hundred crew and really what they're trying to do is remove or undermine the sharifs influence of the pakistani political landscape i think this question marks going forward about how well the pakistani military and iran economy will work together. to become prime minister there's a lot of precedent box and history for the military to for example you know fall out with chosen or designated civilian leaders including sharif himself so there is you know there's a lot of question marks i think that the kind of thinking that the sure that the military in work excellent be in power together i think that's that's really very presumptuous and they could be a lot of instability in the conflict between the civilian government and the military going down the line all right i thought only from market in london thank

are still missing rescue efforts have been hampered by damaged roads the remoteness of the affected areas and flash flooding. u.s. president donald trump and european commission chiefs. have reached a deal to calm the trade dispute both sides agreed to hold more talks to lower trade barriers and hold off on imposing tariffs on each other tensions between the u.s. and europe have been high over washington's decision to set tariffs on european goods or brussels responded with its own set of taxes on u.s. products. the mood at the white house rose garden was upbeat after the meeting it was a notable turnaround after the harsh rhetoric that the u.s. and the e.u. have exchanged in recent weeks u.s. president donald trump's comments to the press corps helped ease concerns of a possible all out trade war between the two sides. already today the united states

and the european union have a one trillion dollar bilateral trade relationship the largest economic relationship anywhere in the world we want to further strengthen this trade relationship to the benefit of all american and european citizens prior to the talks e.u. commission president john had been threatening you trade tariffs on the u.s. but arriving at the white house has stressed to reporters that the e.u. and the u.s. were allies and not enemies adding he was ready to negotiate some hours later the two leaders announced they had agreed on a deal trump agreed to refrain from car tyrus while the negotiations with the e.u. are ongoing the talks will also seeks result u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum for its part the e.u. agreed to buy more u.s. liquefied natural gas and lower trade barriers for american soybeans. said

he was satisfied with the results when i was invited to the president to divide toasts i had intention i had the intention to make a deal today and we made a deal today. at the end of the meeting trump and you also said they would cooperate to reform the rules of the world trade organization the trumpet ministration frequently criticizes the w t o for discriminating against the u.s. so trump that this is a new phase of the u.s. relationship with europe are you surprised by the well it changes that your directory of where we're going that's the important piece and it's bought time what you want to incur and don't trump read on we're on a path on a glide path towards into a trade war now we're on path to do what sensible which is negotiating but i warn it's just buying time nothing of substance has been agreed ok you said to change the trajectory though what do you think actually changed in those discussions well

. it seemed that we were on path to a trade war in which escalating rounds of tariffs of punitive terrorists would be imposed and nothing could change that to rector it's a directory now we're back where we were a couple of years ago which is towards tea to apply to transatlantic trade and investment partnership let's recall let's rename it now let's call it trying to please the president with it well this is just the beginning as well because negotiations have to start we're talking about and there are tariff subsidies and non-tariff barriers what can get in the way of those negotiations. during the obama administration in the negotiations took years to do this the this is sausage making this is very complicated stuff. subsidies means that the u.s. would have to get rid of its. farm bill its farm subsidies same is true for the

european union this is tough stuff so a lot of things could it could get in the way and it is completely possible that this president reverses course yet again and. as a guest on last night and that is the trump factor if i may you know how many people here in germany also in brussels are worried that we could see the u.s. president change his mind that's always a possibility as as we have seen but we've we've also seen and that's another message that we i think this result conveys donald trump and the united states are susceptible to pressure what we have seen here is pressure. the pressure of the u.s. auto industry the pressure of u.s. farmers the pressure of the republican party the pressure of the voter in the coming election donald trump is afraid of losing an election and

therefore he is bound to compromise that's why we've seen several blow through the trans-atlantic relationship not just on trade what do you think needs to be done to repair that relationship fundamentals are wrong pointing in the wrong direction defining the european union as a foe as a trade photo. redefining the the american national interest in which alliances are no longer a force multiplier. two to us but power and giving it legitimacy and extend the reach in. that's a serious change of outlook of u.s. of the u.s. presidency that is something i would hope will change all right so we have to get back to the fundamentals thomas of the vice president of the german marshall fund term berlin thank you so much for joining us thank you. no merchant services in greece are continuing to search for the remains of victims of last monday's
