the wildfires there. and we also bring you a report on the. un special care little which is called trap and the pill is helping to stop the spread of aids is available but elsewhere the disease is on the rise again. i am. alone welcome to the program i'm a. former cricket saw in iran khan has claimed victory in pakistan spot of entry elections amid questions over the fenice of the vote although the official result is yet to be announced in gong khan gave a televised address was this think himself as the next prime minister promising a new pakistan bhatia results given
4:02 pm
a significant lead but over the same bosses say the vote was rigged in favor of him gone const the d.t.i. final results have been delayed due to what election officials according to a computer glitch. that now drawing the chorus one and only congress she's in the pakistani capital islamabad and joins me live from the it's evening where you are now what are you seeing in the capital after this announcement by iran khan. well we've seen people celebrating ever since last night because they assumed he would win but now we've talked to static supporters who were crowding towards his residence they were really happy that their favorite candidate had won there seems to be a big celebration people were saying that they were going to party all night so people here are very happy at least his supporters and it looks like it might be a long night for them here but in early how credible is the learn konstantin victory official results are still awaited and this is the it isn't even clear when
4:03 pm
he has the majority. yes it is clear that he has the majority of this is the usual practice here you get the unofficial results first and these even though they're not the official ones they're expected in a couple of days maybe in a week this is the procedure this happens all the time in pakistan i think we can say quite clearly yes he is most likely to be the next prime minister ok the opposition parties are claiming fraud the should lives of the punjab muslim league and beloved bhutto of the p.p.p. this said this these elections have been rigged could that become a problem for iran can. well it could become a problem for the whole of pakistan these parties are meeting tomorrow here in islamabad they want to come up with a joint strategy and we have to remember that they command a lot of supporters they can mobilize people incredibly quickly and we might yet see mass protests if they decide about that they still wait they are the path they
4:04 pm
want to take. and find out is this the kind of result that's likely to please the army in pakistan. well everyone says that the army has been favoring him that they've been meddling in the election campaign and his favorites of course very hard to prove but a lot of people a lot of journalists here agree that the army did want iran contra wind but they like him as a candidate because they want to change the country here that is what people are saying they're unhappy with all the corruption they want ensley in clean state so if that is in fact what they wanted that yes they would they would be happy with the outcome another living is also going to do to question what is security of their life at the moment we know the army was brought up in huge force to prevent any election violence on polling day what is of their like now well security is always an issue in pakistan this is one of the most dangerous countries in the world and in the election campaigning on election day itself we
4:05 pm
saw is taxed a lot of people died security is still quite high there are lot of roadblocks here in islamabad so i think people are still on very high alert and as you mentioned that what we have now are preliminary results full counting hasn't finished because the electoral commission says there's been some kind of a computer glitch which has slowed down the counting of votes what are you hearing about when we can expect a final and for some results to come out there. well they keep on changing when they say that they will come out so i mean there's vague ideas of maybe this evening i think we should know by this evening baby by tomorrow and then we'll have the unofficial results as i said the official results will be out in a week also interestingly tomorrow we have the press conference of the e.u. electoral observers they'll be giving a press conference and they'll then get their take on whether they think that these elections were free and fair and every iran can talk to about
4:06 pm
a new doc is thought on in his victory announcement if you will what does he mean by a new pakistan. well he's campaigned on an anti corruption platform basically he's positioned himself as the new man is bringing a whole new style of politics to pakistan we have to remember that politics in pakistan are very much a dynastic affair we have two big parties which keep on switching well together with also military rule we've had a long periods of military rule here in pakistan but these main parties they pass on power from one family member to another family member they're also very corrupt they're very well known for bestselling funds here are bought and sold them o'connor's very much positioned himself as changes wanting to fight corruption and that's also why people voted for and that's what came up again and again with whoever voters we talked to who voted for him that they wanted this to change they didn't want the country to be as corrupt anymore and they just wanted to wanted a fresh start for pakistan health was that their observers who claim that anyone
4:07 pm
who wins in pakistan and then in a democratic election still needs to have the support of the army and that in fact other concerns that if you becomes prime minister will be a puppet of the military there. well the part of the army is incredibly powerful there's a saying that says pakistan is not a state with an army but an army with a state that the military pulls all the strings is of course incredibly difficult to prove it's very clear that you go against the army here to your own peril that you know if you fear into the wrong direction which is you know if if you want to have an independent foreign policy foreign policy is very much in the hands of the the army security is in the hands of the army it's obviously hard to know what will happen should he decide to go against the army but it's very clear that people here know that the army is powerful and that it's very dangerous to cross swords with it
4:08 pm
and not be a final question to you know i mean what would be the biggest challenge for anyone who becomes a prime minister of pakistan after this election. well there's loads of challenges aside from corruption that we've been talking about this loads of poverty here water and electricity scarcity. environmental problems questions of the foreign policy security concerns the next prime minister the next government has huge challenges that need to be addressed and a lot of work to do. so we convert it in a style but thank you very much for that live up in reminding our viewers that. of the pakistan tehreek e insaf party the p.d.i. has claimed victory in pakistan's general election the voting is still votes are still being counted that have been diligent to a technical glitch according to the electoral commission of pakistan only thank you very much and you would be keeping an eye on the story for us in the pakistani
4:09 pm
capital. and of course there's lots more on the pakistani election on our website that's dot com let me now move on to greece a country which is reeling from its deadliest wildfires in recent times more than eighty people are confirmed dead relatives and rescue crews are searching frantically for those still missing our correspondent charlotte chosen pil sent us a report from the was affected coastal town of marty residents and tourists dragged into the sea to escape the flames. a steady stream of supplies greets those battling the eye watering smoke and ash to reach the five it's a small token for a community that's lost so much from rescue teams who know all too well what they've endured for volunteers like these weak lifeguards it's been an unrelenting here when the fires broke out as they take to desperately searching for survivors then came the search for bodies now they're joining the many hundreds of volunteers
4:10 pm
handing out food and water to those in need. those still scouring the waters can do little but wait with dozens still missing fears a growing that many who sought refuge in the waters instead lost their lives were looking for that by this now if they are more in the water it is a difficult job these because we know that everything we find now it's only for sad and but good for the people who have very least of they found the people their beloved. at least. palest was among those who helped residents fleece the water before saving himself the horror of that night to ever edged in his mind me and we'll see other guys i'm going to read the board and it puts some. people some jitters out of the car to go. i says some years we want to get to where i. did because the fire at that kind of cuts.
4:11 pm
vary but things here. he's turned his bar into a makeshift food bank another beacon of hope for those in need this is a community whose resilience is breathtaking in the face of the tragedy the true scale of which is yet on. that report by deed. she joins me now live from the village of monte the small holiday resort which has been so badly hit we saw in your report you join volunteers in their rescue mission what is the scale of help and donations coming in. well there is life guards which is one set of volunteers who have looked to marty to help those in need not just from across greece but from around the world there are there are people from germany of course who sent teams the military for example there scouring bodies very sadly now no longer looking for survivors both in the water
4:12 pm
where people fled the fires and of course in houses and cars with a number of houses still set to be searched they're also handing out donations to those who is still in this village those who are refusing to leave this community has been inundated with supplies with food and with clothes we visited one gym which was absolutely a full of volunteers hundreds of people who wanted to offer their help we spoke to one twenty one year old man who said that he'd seen what had happened on t.v. and felt that he just had to do something to support this community. and show that we're seeing pictures of many homes which have been destroyed and burnt down but those who do have homes are people returning to their. memory to i'm not sure if you can see behind me but there is one family here in this home who have returned they are now scouring what was once their home to try and salvage
4:13 pm
what they can but like so many people here they've lost everything they lucky very lucky all of them survived they were able to to flee the scene but there is nothing left they've been told they cannot return to this home that is uninhabitable in fact of the two thousand five hundred times that have been. analyzed so far has been found that hauls of them people cannot return to so it's a very serious situation for these people involved perhaps as well i can draw your attention to the number two that sketch on the wall there that's what we're seeing all across this village that means these people cannot return. and shell of what about the people who are still missing and unaccounted for water riches the thing to you. well the moment is still no official figure for the number of people that are still missing but residents have set up a website where they're desperately playing to any information relatives who have yet to be found on that web site there are still roughly two dozen people who have been on not located so far has also taken to the television stations as well to
4:14 pm
appeal for any information that they can to of the people that are missing are two young nine year old twin girls their father has been all over the press very public trying to appeal for information they were last seen he said getting onto a boat fleeing the fire is they they have not been heard of since neither of their grandparents who are missing they've become a symbol hey it's a tragedy that encompassing this village in fact the media this seems is referring to this as a national tragedy and the whole nation seems to be pulling together in this time of sorrow but iraq questions being asked what caused these fires. yeah there is a rising public anger here about exactly how this happened there are competing theories at the moment about how these fires started has been some suggestion that austin might have been a factor one official pointed out that fires in three separate locations in this
4:15 pm
area pics to be lit around the same time and that the theory is that a fall and why a spitting sparks may have been responsible but people here are really asking how it was possible that there was no proper evacuation plan how was it that this panic was able to consume this town as people struggled to leave the roads in their cars the people were unable to leave it there are so many questions being asked about exactly how that was able to happen in the government really is going to have to start addressing that in the coming days and what do people make of the government's handling off of this what is being called a massive disaster and as i mentioned a national a national tragedy obvious satisfied that enough is coming their way. a lot of the help that we've seen are from volunteers of course the police and the military from greece are on the streets as well we've heard today that the government has offered compensation to those caught up in this tragedy is money
4:16 pm
that's been offered to those who've lost relatives there's also been money so those that lost their homes several styles and theories but of course these people here completely homeless that money isn't going to go very long way and many of them have nowhere to go that's forced to stay with relatives or in hotels people are saying it's it's just not enough to compensate for exactly what is taking place here and you know i saw that you are in marty rethought some of the most tragedies in this disaster what have people been thing to you what did they go through and how they coping with the sheer scale of devastation. i think the resilience is the one thing that really has to be pointed out here if i can draw your attention again to the people behind me they have bravely going through their things at the moment trying to find out exactly what they can salvage we spoken to them and they seem to be in fairly admirable spirits at the moment just coming together to find out exactly what they can do is only
4:17 pm
a few days though since this tragedy took place and a lot of people are still extremely shell shocked we spoke to one man who's opened up his bar as sort of a a makeshift food bank as we saw in that report he was responsible for pulling people from their cars from taking them into the water trying to save their lives he said the memory of this the horror is something that will never ever leave him sean unchosen bill in the village of marty the coastal town in greece which is most affected by the wildfires thank you very much for that live update from there. there's been a bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the wind in gaza palestinians have had funerals for the three hamas militants killed on wednesday the military wing of hamas has vowed to revenge for their deaths the men died during israeli airstrikes on several hamas bases in the gaza strip on wednesday it's a little in a series of violent exchanges between israeli forces and hamas. a mass funeral has

4:20 pm
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 new trade tariffs on the u.s. but arriving at the white house 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 kottaras while the negotiations with the e.u. are ongoing the talks will also seeks result of 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 the white

4:22 pm
telling me that they don't believe that this trade war discussion is going to be completely off the table we know that president donald trump can change his mind pretty much from one day to the other but when you take a look at today's trading day we really have been back in the winning zone the blue chip index stocks with a classy of about one point five percent this afternoon and car makers are very much demand that today volkswagen with a big plus we have to remember they do big business with the united states even diamond who provided their quarterly numbers today who were rather a lousy i have to tell you even the shares of diamond are are among the winners here in the blue chip index stocks don't know there's been a monetary policy meeting at the e.c. be in for and for any surprises. well the really big surprise i mean nobody was expecting that we would see for example a change of the monetary policy that we would see for example higher interest rates

4:24 pm
shortfall in europe dan was also dealing with a major recall of his diesel cars. or wednesday's deal between u.s. president on the tram and the use wrong close younker is welcome news for europe's energy utilities buying more u.s. liquefied natural gas could reduce europe's dependency on russian natural gas and give them more choice but there's still a lot of work to be done before that can become reality infrastructure in europe needs to improve and that means more terminals need to be built to offload and store the gas when it arrives. much of central europe is in the grip of a heat wave with on the usually sweltering temperatures of up to thirty six degrees celsius the heat has already done its roads and does that it crops and higher temperatures are still to come on top of that in very little to no rainfall farmers are bracing for huge losses the rapeseed harvest is
4:25 pm
a thin one this summer in the german state of brandenburg there were just fifteen leaders of rainfall per square meter in may normally it's more than sixty three crop is hugely reduced. we've lost between a third and have because of dry conditions the result is that some prices will have to rise. a god holding cultivates around twenty thousand hectares of leased land in eastern germany losses on sales of wheat rye and maize are also running as high as fifty percent the company also operates twenty three bio gas facilities. the chief executive hopes the sale of the electricity produced will offset the losses but the plants run on maize island which is in short supply. we're buying less me but this year there was
4:26 pm
a lot of conflict of cereal from the threshing harvest that is to say maize that is not of sufficient quality for bread baking or for use in animal feed and. now mission i guess that's. as a result the company is having to put significant amounts of cereal into the fermentation tanks of the organic gas plant. reinhard young from the brandenburg farmers union keeps a herd of cattle. the animals only have grass left to eat and even water is scarce. i hope this will only go on for a few more days otherwise i'll have to take water tanks out to the field to irrigate it i've never done that before going to. the limited maize crop is causing problems for the cattle breeder. he's already had to feed his livestock the harvest that was meant for the winter. we don't have
4:27 pm
the money to buy additional feet and we don't have the capacity to transport it so the only remaining option for us is to cut the number of livestock and only have as many animals as we can reasonably look after in concrete terms that means we've started to reduce our bull herd to zero on some one hundred fifty fattening bulls are being called vaca says if the drought continues cows and calves will have to follow. the leaders of brazil russia india china and south africa declaration in support of free trade at this summit in south africa more on that a little edge with the show first more world news. thank you babe let's get a of course talking about the brics exactly you're watching the news coming up ahead we take a look at prep the pill that is helping to stop the spread of its hiv aids when it's available but as the disease of the infection is on the rise again. and also

4:30 pm
this blow with the dismissal come in the newsroom the other things. no longer though it may be mere cost me your people once in feel lonesome for the people talk of. this most you go putting on this visited me a political song. you're watching news coming to you live from london i'm on the. autopsy story the former international cricket to him dunk contest claimed victory in bucks county general election against appeared on television and promised a new pakistan but votes are still being counted and drive the bosses the election was rigged. and we stay with pakistan and the technical glitch in
4:31 pm
a new digital vote counting system that was said to have delayed the results and met in don khan's rivals to cause doubt on the results elizabeth shoaf from a social media desk has been tracking that all out and joins me now welcome list of this election was supposed to showcase pakistan as a modern digital democracy not looks like the election commission has some embarrassing problems. yeah i'm afraid it does the returns so you actually commission. this year for the first time is using a new software to transmit the results from individual polling stations to a central database and there were hopes that this would actually speed up of the results and that we would have the final results much early about as we see that is not the case and i can just show you first of all how this new software is supposed to work so every officer who is responsible or was overseeing one electoral or one
4:32 pm
polling station has to download that this app and with the app you take a picture of the so-called form forty five now this form has the results or the votes that every candidate has received you take a picture you send it to this central database now we're told by the electoral commission that they had tested this software before the election and everything was working fine but then yesterday of course you have one hundred million people who are voting and then you have all these results coming in from all the polling stations so that was too much for the system the system crashed at some point and that is why results had to be transmitted manually or some had to use facts so that is really slowing down the process and i'm sure given what is at stake the people can be happy about these delays and as of a. no not at all people are getting impatient you know everybody wants to know ok the person that i voted for did this person win or and not and in fact this has also increased the suspicion of election rigging i can show you what people are
4:33 pm
saying online first of all we have the electoral commission itself insisting that there's no official business of going on here we have a statement of the secretary of the electoral commission saying there is no conspiracy nor any pressure in delay of the results the delays being caused because the results transmission system has a color lapse and we're also seeing of people calling for or wanting these people that are responsible for this software to be held accountable for example here we have a statement of the head of the information technology board of the province of punjab says the last time it was technology is failure to very five votes this time it's a failed system that is transmitting of these results technology of national importance should not be left to such amateurish attends those responsible must be punished and meanwhile we've heard that all of you opponents of iran contra said that they will not accept the results for example here we have his closest rival if
4:34 pm
he said this yesterday already in fact saying this is an outright rigging and the results based on massive rigging will cause irreparable damage to the country but of course i'm rita meanwhile iran khan has already declared himself winner and in his first speech he has said that he will look into these accusations of breaking right his matilda social media desk or risk a pleasure to talk to you. turning to china where police say a man with a file device set off a blast at the u.s. embassy in the capital beijing a video posted on social media shows smoke billowing from the huge embassy complex in the northeast of the city glass and blood stains were left on the pavement outside the building chinese police say a twenty six year old man injured himself in the blast and no one else was at the u.s. embassy described the device as a bomb. on an mathias building or was outside the u.s.
4:35 pm
embassy in beijing and sent us this update. a blast in front of an american embassy but all be alone have been quick to cordon off the site gathered here have witnessed an eyewitness being taken away and driven away in a black car now the american embassy has resumed its activities the people behind me over there they are standing on queuing up or an american visa as they have been when the blast happened. that is the correspondent billing are reporting from beijing a u.s. court set a deadline of today to reload i separated migrant children with their parents the department of homeland security claims it is on track to do so but government figures show that out of around two thousand five hundred children but one thousand three hundred remain separated and even those figures on certain as a villain if acacias slowly take place health professionals in the u.s.
4:36 pm
a sounding the alarm about the long term damage already done to the children. the lucky few reunited after months of not knowing whether they'd ever see their children again. and for others even this moment soon turned to heartbreak after being separated for so long as some parents had their children didn't even recognize. the difficult reunifications we've seen so far have highlighted just how hard it's going to be to bring these children back together with their families and how much damage has already been done by the trumpet ministrations original policy of taking them away from their parents dr lucy is one of many pediatricians warning of the damage these separations may have caused already. she told me extreme stress from such an experience can result in lifelong health problems the younger they are the more vulnerable they are so we see changes in their stress hormones you see
4:37 pm
changes in their brain development the long term that also can manifest as mental health illnesses so p.t.s.d. anxiety depression kids who have experienced toxic stress actually have higher risk of suicide as they get older then the change in the hormones actually causes physical changes in their body so an increased risk of heart disease of diabetes of liver problems increased risk of cancers so why are migrants from central and south america willing to take their chances on exposing their children to this kind of future i think these families would say that they didn't have a choice i have patients a mom who told me that her ten year old son was asked to join a gang and if he didn't that he would be killed have another patient who is a teenage girl who is repeatedly abused and was worried about getting kidnapped and trafficked so on these parents take their kids and other belongings in the middle of the night and they flee they're not thinking that they have a choice now many who thought they to skate the worst for
4:38 pm
a better life in the united states are facing even more trauma. a major international conference on preventing the spread of the h.i.v. virus that causes aids is taking place in amsterdam the netherlands rates of hiv infection are rising in some parts of the well such as eastern europe and central asia public health bodies stressed that using condoms can prevent hiv infection there's also a medication now known as prep that can significantly reduce people's chances of catching it i.v. . emanuel is a professional musician and he's hiv negative to keep it that way he relies on prep a medicine that can stop people catching it he has to take the day to stay protected. about two years ago i just use
4:39 pm
condoms. this way is risky situations when. i started to mistrust condoms than i had about prep and it really sounded like a savior. but. i know that. until recently the medicine cost as much as eight hundred euros per month in germany alternatively it could be ordered some illegally as a generic truck abroad recently the price of the medicine fell to fifty cures the reason the manufacturers peyton will soon expire demand is high. i've had so few honest praed to take my constant fear away nor only in the bedroom but in everyday life it helped me get emotionally intimate again. before a song every potential partner was also a potential danger in the book and for the guffaw the combination of improved hiv therapy and prep has already produced positive results say supporters of the new
4:40 pm
treatment. isn't yet under the lens and we are now certain that prep can definitely stop new infections in the u.k. new infections have dropped significantly and we can see the same thing in san francisco that we can have these successes in germany as well i know we can. but the before pill also has its disadvantages doctors say especially if it leads to a decline in the use of condoms the pap should for the i phone the prep protects against hiv but it doesn't protect against syphilis or gone arrear or other sexually transmitted diseases. views the most difficult to treat and the most severe of these sexually transmitted diseases that's what prep protects against the pap for emmanuelle means freedom freedom from the once life threatening disease called hiv . and now this is these and leaders of the brics bloc at
4:41 pm
signed a declaration supporting free trade in johannesburg that's right the joint declaration actually says the signatories want an open and inclusive multilateral trading system as envisaged by the world trade organization brazil russia india china and south africa seem to have found a collective voice championing the global global trade at the three day summit vowing to fight the unilateralist and protectionism in the wake of terror threats by u.s. president donald trump chinese president xi jinping also called for a concerted effort by global institutions such as the un the g seven and the world trade organization to fight protectionism. well chinese president xi jinping has been using the run up to the breaks meeting to visit some african states to secure investment opportunities showing beijing's increasing interest in the continent that's been some that the missing father directs founding director of the child you're right china is increasing its interest in africa it's it's nothing new
4:42 pm
actually we know that china has been quite active starting in the year two thousand with the foundation of the folks at meeting the forum in china africa cooperation in beijing at that time and since then now we are turning to the eighteenth year we see that china's chinese interest is not only in natural resources many people believe but it's also that china sees a tremendous opportunity in africa in developing new markets and there are a lot being that they must hardy's asian of african countries and this is visible in chinese actions for example the countries that president xi jinping visited on his tour this time were not resource rich countries such as rwanda or senegal or more riches but they are playing a tremendous important tremendously important role in in you know in bringing
4:43 pm
forward africa's industrialization and china has understood to use that as china is not the only not the only country i was and since i've understood the importance of africa india's prime minister and or modi has also been on the road before the summit is there competition going on. it's hard to say there is a competition but we cannot avoid to see that india has not stepped up his its ambition in african countries as well also india has century long relations with african countries especially with the east african countries but chinese success i would say starting in the mid ninety's until today has caused other countries also to a just a strategy towards africa and india especially has been teaming up with countries like japan to counter a china but not initiative that has also a tremendous attractiveness to african countries so the afro asian or the african
4:44 pm

thought wrote music would last for more than a couple years every thought it was a fad not least mick jagger and the stones and the they were the bad boys of brought rahel the wildest parties they took the most drugs they had the most drug convictions nobody thought they'd survive sadly of course brian jones one of the original founding members died of a drugs overdose when he was twenty seven mick jagger said famously a couple of years later that he said to he would rather be dead before me satisfaction when he's forty five when he's before you when he. had so nobody thought anybody they would be around ten years that are left alone over fifty years later anyway here is on stage from his current saw strutting his stuff as the song says like a street fighting man. well maybe he's not on

a quite the street fighting man but those who predicted the rolling stones would by this time need to be pushed on striking wheelchairs have definitely been proven wrong. mick jagger actually seems even more energetic than fifty years ago. in the early days keith richards was always at his side together they were known as the limit twins the songwriters and core of the longest serving rock band is i mean you really think that in those days as a as a band being as it was going for that for a public career it hadn't been done yet. sometimes the stones were not enough for mick jagger he has recorded a number of solo albums and collaboration's dancing in the street with david bowie was a certain hit in the us. in the beginning jagger in the stones were regarded as the band boys of rock music but

years old guys like you know your musician. influence did the rolling stones actually have on undock music i think more than any other band to be honest this may upset beatles fans but first of all i don't think of the beatles as a rock band ready and secondly the beatles were together for eight years the. have been together fifty six years with very few changes by the way i mean ronnie wood joined in one thousand nine hundred seventy five i think it's incalculable the influence keith richards riffs are extraordinary they're quite innovative and they've been used on other records have been psalm pulled and people have copied them jagger i mean his name has been used in records like this one this is a very famous song from a few years back. moved like moves like jagger from maroon five featuring christina aguilera that was number one in eighty countries it has five hundred million hits
