8:01 pm
that for. really fast the u.s. from the european union step back from the brink of a trade war recent provide a sizable european business leader. also coming up in the next sixty minutes symbolic weight goes to the polls for president was pretty powerless in scope and removed a long time to tighten problems but i'm hoping that monday brings peace to the election which will assess his chances of. happy birthday to make the seventy five today no longer a street fighting man the perhaps but still touring i'm still pulling in the crowd . i'm filled and welcome to the program. well the official a result of still hasn't been caught but imran khan is claiming to have won
8:02 pm
pakistan's parliamentary elections a former cricket stars given a televised address positioning himself as the next prime minister and promising a new pakistan powerful results give his p.t.i. party a significant lead but opposition parties claim the vote was rigged final results have been delayed because of what election officials say is a computer glitch in his t.v. address mr khan promised the country a fresh start. the pakistan like it's never been run before. we will give it the government it has never had before. and we will start with our so we will be transparent and clean for those who are d.w. correspondent now we comrade who is in the capital islamabad welcome naomi it seems rather premature for iran contra be making these promises of transparency when the election has not actually been called yes. well yes but we expect in the
8:03 pm
final results by tomorrow morning that's what we're hearing and we know by now that his party has won the most seats but it's also probably true because he will most probably have to form a coalition which means maybe tough coalition talks it might get still be a while until he's officially p m. the opposition here and i'm the p.p.p. they claim this was the rig votes and so is this likely to be a problem for iraq khan who has himself organized demonstrations against the vote rigging in the past. yes i just talked to a quite a high ranking official a senator who said all options were on the table meaning that they're prepared to mobilize the masses there's an important meeting in islam about tomorrow where the now opposition parties need to discuss what their strategy is if they indeed go for mobilizing the masses and it is quite possible that they can get quite a few people on the streets then that might indeed be problematic for him on con
8:04 pm
how is the army likely to view this result. well in the run up to the elections are over your knowledge analysis and also the journalists agree that imran khan was the favored candidate of the army that they were in fact may in fact affect meddling in the elections trying to push coverage in the media to get him elected to give him more time i've talked to journalists who said that they've received threatening calls if their favorites and i was sure if in their coverage if they reported on his election rallies for example so if we assume that they did indeed because it is of course hard to prove favor and indeed push for iran can then they must like the results of this election. political experience has been gained building and leading what's essentially been party so far which is quite different to actually governing a country. yes indeed i mean his party does have some experience they went to
8:05 pm
a coalition in one of the provinces where people say they. did use mixed results but they did push for education they did push for health care so his party to have some experience but indeed it is different to lead the whole country and so he will presumably have quite a lot to learn. rather than this not about like you. let's stay with pakistan on the technical glitch that said to have a delayed the results show has been tracking the fallout welcome this so this is a shiny new digital vote counting system that doesn't work this must be very embarrassing election commission. through a field saw the pakistani electoral commission for the first time this year is using a special software that is use that to tally and to collect all of the results from different polling stations across the country and of course the idea behind that was about you would get to the resolve much quicker but as we see it we're still
8:06 pm
waiting for the final results from the electoral commission but i can first of all show you how this software is supposed to work so at every polling station there is somebody who supervises the whole electoral process and that person is supposed to download an app this app is then used to take a photo of the so called form forty five now this is the form that shows how many votes it's candidate for each party has received so you take a photo you also manually enter the number of the votes that the candidates have received and then you send that to their database of the central database of the electoral commission that is the idea behind the whole system but then last night when the results started coming in it was just too much for the services of the electoral commission it crashed and that is why there is odds have been really slowly coming in i would guess that some people aren't too happy about it and have taken to the social media to vent their frustration. yeah absolutely i mean
8:07 pm
everybody's impatient you know everybody wants to know the person that i voted for did this person win a seed to the person that i wanted to become the next prime minister this person win or nods and of the electoral commission says we didn't do anything wrong really it's not our fault it's not an issue of rigging we just had these technical difficulties for example here we have the secretary of the electoral commission here issuing a statement today a strong people that there is no conspiracy nor any pressure in delay of the results the delay is being caused because the result transmission system has collapsed but then we're also hearing people saying that maybe the software shouldn't have been used or it should have been tried out more often for example we have this user from pakistan as well saying last time it was technology is failure to very five votes this time it's a failed result transmission system technology of national importance should not be
8:08 pm
left to such amateurish attempts those responsible must be punished and then of course we already hearing that other parties are rejecting their results that are slowly coming in for example we have closest rival sheriff he said that this is an outright rigging and their results based on massive rigging will cause irreparable damage to the country but then of course that we heard him run count today in the speech that he gave he said that he will look into the rigging allegations and he will have them investigate it. thank you the death toll increases worst forest fires for a decade now stands at more than eighty relatives and rescue crews are searching for bodies and survivors amongst the ruins they w. correspondent shell that shell some pills and this report from the worst affected town not to have residents and tourists escape the flames by running into the same
8:09 pm
. a steady stream of supplies greets those battling the eye watering smoke and ash to reach the by this time it's a small token for a community that's lost so much from rescue teams who know all too well what they've enjoyed so volunteers like these weak lifeguards has been unrelenting. 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 handing out food and water to those in need. those still scouring the waters can do little but wait with dozens still missing fears are 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 there are thing we find now it's only for sad and you know but it's good for the people to have the relief that they found the people their beloved. yes at least.
8:10 pm
it was among those who helped residents fleece the water before saving himself the horror of that night for ever in his mind. and to put some. people some jitters out of the. ice is some areas we want to go to we're going. there to because the fire i think undercuts. very bad 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 unknown. and i report was produced by dr correspondent charlotte's chelsea pale in matters she joins us now welcome let's start with that food bank want to tell us more about that the help and donations the town's been
8:11 pm
receiving. yeah the community here has been inundated with volunteers with locals all wanting to come by and offer any help and support that they can and not just from the community from the groups that we saw in that report there from volunteers like the lifeguards but also from people who have gone to nearby makeshift shelters food banks who went to a gym earlier today which was piled high with food with water absolutely filled with volunteers who were trying to sort through everything that had been donated by people from across this region and it then will be distributed to the community here i think the the real big takeaway is just how much this community has come together to try and help those who have lost everything in this tragedy. are people starting to return to their homes yet. well i'm not sure if you
8:12 pm
can see behind me here but there are some residents who are now gradually returning to their homes they are wanting to try and salvage anything that they still can this building i'm not sure if you can tell it was once a three story building the top story has collapsed almost everything they owned is that having spoken to them they say that they have just glad to have escaped with their lives now i just want to try and draw your attention to just behind me that is number two on the wall that means that this house is now completely uninhabitable it will have to be destroyed that is how the authorities and now identifying we don't find which homes can be saved we've heard today that it was some two thousand five hundred homes that have been analyzed so far hoff and now completely uninhabitable the government has offered some financial aid for those who have lost their homes five thousand years so far per home but the people here say that that is not going to go a long way they now are completely homeless many of them having to say either with
8:13 pm
relatives or in hotels nearby and after days of fire has burned all fears of floods . that's right yes we saw a little bit of rain yesterday that came as a relief to a lot of people as firefighters were still trying to douse some of the blazes that was still light in the region today though it was an almost biblical thunderstorm it was absolutely completely shut down any rescue operations that were taking place here and yes in the next few days more rain is expected as well most done to storms it's really from one extreme to another and there are fears here that it could come to the point that really damage any attempts to try and salvage the last remaining belongings there in homes like the ones behind me and also the desperate search for bodies that is now still taking place with dozens so fits be a missing child a child in poland marty thank you. greece is deadly wildfires are just one

8:17 pm
process in our collaboration with the council and in parliament until now. fortunately we got the really big support by the parliament the vast majority in from peace they supported this proposal and of course use of the council adopted its position in order to start the entire yellow in september and to finish. i want to really dislike him for a process before the end of the year and. i'm sure that we will see us through to p. implemented in the next year in order to see ourselves to be more efficient and more effective cutting natural disasters not only for its failures but also floods and any other type or for natural disasters. hello humphrey will be taking a look at the heat waves effects on the farming in the street later in this program and business update. an hour for some of the other stories making news around the

8:19 pm
news live from bali and still to come take a look at prep the poets helping to stop the spread of a child but where where it's available elsewhere the disease is on the rise again. now there is relief in europe after u.s. president donald trump and european commission president. calmed a transatlantic trade up i want humphrey that's right so here we have to look at the comments from the german economy minister calling those talks and the result of those talks a breakthrough saying we commitments to work together towards zero tariffs could avoid a trade war and save millions of jobs in the process the french government well has taken a more cautious tone warning that any deal must be misses and benefit both sides. the american president was his usual confident self when he met the press together was. the deal was done the e.u. and usa have backed away from their looming trade war. on the other side of the
8:20 pm
pond some german political leaders welcomed the agreement. and we have managed to avoid the outbreak of a trade war. and return to the negotiating table instead this opens up the opportunity for us to reduce tariffs instead of increasing them and it means we can strengthen world trade. as part of the deal the e.u. has agreed to buy more american products including natural gas in exchange the u.s. will hold off on its threats of increasing tariffs on e.u. products and both partners will begin looking at ways to reduce trade barriers but some industry experts warn wednesday's meeting was only the first step of a long road but we have to do this according to the w t o we have to follow the international trade rules and that means that if you want to trade agreement with the united states we have to do this on the multilateral basis we have to include other countries so it's
8:21 pm
a very complicated system of negotiations we would go into if the u.s. is ready for that for now it seems economic peace has broken out between the e.u. and us but only tomorrow will tell what twitter will bring. let's bring in our washington correspondent now cost and phenomena at cost and of course this is a significant development but experience teaches us that the u.s. president can tear up any deal so should we treat this with some caution. absolutely i think it's more of a truce than an actual piece on so a lot of things are not clear yet this deal so far is just words for instance when it comes to soybeans it's not clear how the e.u. will actually manage to make sure that the europeans buy more soybeans because how can they force the european consumers or companies to buy that stuff with liquefied
8:22 pm
natural gas also some technical conditions have to be fulfilled first and then when it comes to the negotiations about reduced tariffs and other trade barriers this is as we've just heard a long and complicated process the question is was on the trunk have the patience to do that and also the tariffs on steel and aluminum by the americans and the countermeasures by the europeans are still in place and then of course if donald trump is in a bad mood he might destroy everything that has been achieved with just one tweet so i would be very cautious right proceed with caution but nevertheless there was some relief that me felt he in the european union said what about the reaction from american companies and industry how are they taking this latest development. also cautious the relieved the dollar jones was up on thursday
8:23 pm
probably partly due to a reaction to that meeting in the white house but clearly american industry and also in particular fama very much relieved they were worried that this might turn into a full blown trade war and that has led the republican party trumps party to be worried because there was a lack of enthusiasm among a constituency that normally is the bases of the republican party in rural areas and so they put pressure on trump so in the way of course the european union it's good to stand united but also you don't cope was lucky that this was a good timing and trump was ready to declare victory and move on our correspondent cost and fun and naaman in washington thank you constance leaders of the brakes nations have signed a declaration supporting a free trade at the summit in south africa today to take stating that they signatories want an open and inclusive multilateral trading system as set out by

8:34 pm
country's been under new management for the last couple of months hasn't changed much well definitely the new president is more open than the old one and i'll give you two reasons that prove that one point is that i can be here and a lot of other journalists as well before the elections that was not always the case before a second point is the president has been touring the world with one message in the past saying zimbabwe is open for business he wants investors to get in so there is indeed a change but the reality on the ground especially the economic reality has not changed a lot it is still a disaster frankly speaking if you look at the situation the country had to abandon its own currency a long time ago and started issuing a point notes which are picked against the u.s. dollar that means civil servants for example are paid in these notes and they can go to supermarkets and buy certain goods for that but once they want to have currency when they want to have hot money like dollars it's almost impossible for
8:35 pm
them they have to pugh for hours at banks almost all a.t.m.'s in the town don't walk at all so there is really a currency shortage here and this is definitely a sign of a poor economy and definitely a sign that might scare off investors now previous elections are always the questions that has always been that they were hugely rigged this is the first post of the gobby election is it likely to be free and fair. well we went to one of the campaign release of the major opposition today where mr chen we said was talking to his supporters and i talked to one young man there and he told me his experience of the past how he was beaten up after really in the past and he said this time for the first time he's hopeful that nothing will happen like this that maybe his vote will count and he was also telling me this will be the first time that he can go home with his red shirt of the party without being scared of being attacked by the security forces so there are a lot of hopeful signs also there's increasing amount of elections observers in the
8:36 pm
country also from the european union these are indeed positive developments but we've also seen incidents here in the four on off the elections that were not suppose that if there was were to intimidation there was a terror attack on the life of the current president so these are of course scaring science and as you said in the past elections there was never a case where there was no speculation about massive rigging going on and some opposition representatives told us that they fear that if the current president will really lose this elections that they will be people in the security apparatus who might not want him to to step back. under increase in harare and here now u.s. court set a deadline of today to reunite separated migrant children with their parents the department of homeland security claims it's on track to comply but government figures show that out of around twenty five hundred children something like thirteen hundred us still separated and even those figures are uncertain as the
8:37 pm
reunions take place health professionals in the united states are 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 said their children didn't even recognize them. 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 changes
8:38 pm
in their brain development the long term that also can manifest as mental health illnesses so p.t.s.d. anxiety depression kids who've 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 have this kind of future i think these families would say that they didn't have a choice i have patience 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's 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
8:39 pm
a choice now many who thought they did the worst for a better life in the united states are facing even more trauma. of the w's the washington bureau chief i was on the phone naaman joins us from just outside brownsville texas on the us mexico border on a number of families are being held welcome on xandra missing this deadline to reunite hundreds of children and parents must be a huge logistical challenge how's the operation coming together. i'm about twenty miles northwest from brownsville the porch is a build attention center that you can see behind me that's to close as we can get to distant tension center that is according to authorities the primary facility to house parents who illegally crossed the border or were separated from their kids here in texas and i ask of the soroti is he hold many families are still being
8:40 pm
held in this facility i didn't get any answer but i talked to lawyers and they told me that the ball it's three hundred parents have left this facility in the last days and were brought to a catholic shelter were they have been reunited with their kids or are waiting for to be brought back together with their kids but the whole process has been very chaotic very messy people here parents were left in the limbo didn't know where they kids were they didn't know whether there are going to be brought together with their kids some of them were actually hoping for that and then there were brought to another facility lawyers were complaining that they didn't have to have a proper context to their client so a very messy process so this doesn't sound like they're going to meet this deadline . well let's at least it doesn't look this way right now we talk about twenty five hundred parents and not half of them have been has been
8:41 pm
reunited with the kids and it seems as if nine hundred spare ends are not going to be together with their kids some of them cannot be found some of them according to the also a tease have serious serious criminal records and therefore there are not eligible to be reunited with their kids and some of them have already been deported about more than four hundred parents have been reported deported presumably without their children and just imagine maybe they even didn't know where their children are and now it's up to them to find the children who are already in the force of her system here in the u. s. and can be put up for adoption so it must be devastating for the parents. tell us about the very fact to all the families of this continued state of limbo.
8:42 pm
yes not only their kids are traumatized we saw it and the report but also the parents themselves i talked to lawyers and activists who told me that the purpose of mistrust almost everyone even people trying to help them therefore lawyers immigration or lawyers here are trying to convince the courts that parents can stay here with they kids just to decide whether they can seek asylum and whether they have to go back home always hundred phone naaman and brownsville texas thank you. this is d.w. news live from berlin still to come we say happy birthday to rock legend mick jagger who is seventy five today he once said he didn't want to still be singing satisfaction when he was forty five well he is much much older than that now and he still pulling in the crowds. and myself hot weather might be good for the tourism industry but not all industries are sort of i think a little home for a small rifle of the hate has damaged roads it's damaged crops already absolutely
8:43 pm
devastated the high temperatures all set to continue much of central europe is in the grip grip of a heat wave with unusually sweltering temperatures of up to thirty eight degrees celsius now and talk about this been a full to no rainfall of the say that now bracing for huge crop losses. the rapeseed harvest is 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 the crop is hugely reduced. we've lost between a third and have i because of dry conditions the result is that some prices will have to rise give us a point of. doing a graph 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
8:44 pm
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 vehicle from and we're buying less me but this year there was a lot of defective 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 mitchell i think is that's the guy it's was. as a result the company is having to put significant amounts of cereal into the fermentation tanks of the organic gas plants. reinhard young from the brandenburg farmers union keeps a herd of cattle on. the animals only have grass left to eat and even water is scarce. i thought i hope this will
8:45 pm

original members brian jones of course died at the age of twenty seven from a drug overdose a mic jagger famously said as you said that he did. to be doing satisfaction when he's forty five but he's doing it now when he's seventy five nobody thought the bomb would be around ten years later let alone fifty six years later and here he is from the endless top from earlier this year strutting his stuff as the song says as a street fighting man. yeah if we got. rolling stones would by this time need to be pushed on station we'll just 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 and together they were known as the limit twins the songwriters
8:52 pm
and co of the longest serving rock band is i mean you really think that most days as a as a band being as it is going for that for a public career 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 streets with david bowie was a chain hit in the us. in the beginning jagger in the stones were regarded as the bad boys of rock music but despite the countless scandals jack i was eventually knighted in two thousand and three. how did the rebel feel about getting the establishment's seal of approval. i don't really think the establishment. ever exists anymore so it's not in question. so there you go in two thousand and eight came

8:54 pm
had on rock music i mean it's incalculable really i mean more than any other band and i mean i don't want to upset beatles fans but two things first of all i don't think of the beatles as a rock band really and secondly they were only together for eight years this band has gone on forever and it's imprints so many generations i mean keith richards famous riffs of being copied they've been sampled and when it comes to mick jagger you can make jagger's name has been used in songs like moves like jagger from maroon five featuring christina aguilera that was seven years ago was a hit in eighteen countries and the whole song is about his unique style of dancing which is unique like his voice indeed is iconic daunce moves according to the song if you move like jag you'll get the girl you see so a current band with their. to the great man himself good i remember the great my grizzling about how they got no money for the use of his name do you think they
