this is news live from berlin and ron conway wins pakistan's general election he's promising a new pakistan but first a former cricket star will have to seek out allies to form a coalition government. also coming up the pill that protects against hiv as infection rates around the world continue to rise we meet one man who says it has freed him from the fear of catching the virus. also coming up will you be one of the lucky ones to catch sight of this the longest total lunar eclipse of the twenty first century begins tonight and it will feature

a bloodmoon find out what's behind the spectacular astronomical event. i'm seeing so much going to good to have you with us in pakistan the majority of official results are in they show former cricket star imran khan has won the country's election his party will take one hundred nine seats in the national assembly compared to sixty two one by its nearest rival despite the lead khan will have to seek out allies to form a coalition government he had already declared victory on thursday dismissing allegations of vote breaking. jubilation in islamabad supporters of iran khan's p.t.i. party took to the streets to celebrate what they deemed to be a change in direction for pakistan as promised by their leader.

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 ourselves we will be transparent and clean or sod. his supporters may be celebrating tonight but without an outright majority in one can still has potentially tough coalition talks in front of him and pakistan may still have to wait a while for its new government a scenario that may prove difficult with the p.p.p. party of below well bhutto zardari. and the p.l.o. led by the brother of disgraced former prime minister nawaz sharif claiming it wasn't a fair vote. that. this is blatant rigging results based on rigging would lead to a dependable loss we do not accept it we reject it. but for a number of ordinary pakistanis it's the everyday issues that concern them. main issue

is our education system and if a positive change can be made here i am very confident a change will come to pakistan that what i'm calling from khan has promised a lot to the people of the huge number of votes that people gave him is because he can do what others fail to do for them he should deliver on his promises and he should do a lot for the masses he should deliver now or else his situation will be watched and that. and sort of. a warning that for now at least is drowned out in the euphoria of victory. conrad is covering the elections for us in as lama bot and she joins us for more hi only good to see you bring us up to date on what is happening today you know imran khan already declared himself the winner yesterday if that is indeed confirmed by these official results will the opposition actually accept it.

well we've actually got almost all the results of the seats in at the national level we're just missing a couple of seats so yes it is clear that iran can has one at the national level the big question is what happens today we've got two very important events coming up one is the press conference later on in the day of the electoral observer mission so whether they indeed call these elections for your fair will have a big impact on what the opposition parties decide to do another thing is a meeting of all the parties except for the p.t. where they discuss what strategy to take and as one of the high ranking peter mullan members told me yesterday all options are on the table meaning they might be able to move below supporters depending on what they do so a very tense day and it remains to be seen what happens later in the day what about for iran cargo he's promised to tackle issues that are important to the voters but he is the candidate who was a favorite by the military in this vote so how much freedom will we have to do so with the military the influence in politics. whether to do things that

elected politicians can't touch that's foreign policy and defense policy but that's always been the case in the history of pakistan the one issue that he was really central in his campaign which was corruption fighting corruption is very much aligned to what the military wants to see the military says there's too much corruption in the country they want that stamp out so he's aligned bear the other the other big issues like poverty alleviation like the electricity crisis i think he will have a pretty fair and free hands to tackle those issues what do you think are the biggest challenges that he faces as he seeks to take over the reins. while there are huge there's a myriad of domestic challenges including security the economy poverty alleviation but there's also the question of foreign policy the question is will pakistan and the u.s. improve their toys which were broken early ole early on in the year when the u.s. suspended aids because of. it's because it said pakistan continue to support

militants in the country and outside of the country there's also the question of pakistan's role with india with afghanistan i'm just close the question of how much closer ties to china become so a lot of domestic and international challenges that the future probably future prime minister eman khan will have to deal with now we just briefly for cameron kind of also been criticized for making friends with islamic extremists in pakistan what role did this they play in this election. well actually they didn't do well at all there was a fear that very hard school islamists might do very well in these elections they fielded a lot of candidates but to a lot of people's relief they didn't do well at school. only conrad reporting for us from islamabad thank you very much. now north korea has handed over the remains of american soldiers killed in the korean war a u.s.

aircraft brought the remains to an air base in south korea the handover which coincides with the sixty fifth anniversary of the wars and follows an agreement reached by north korean leader kim jong un and us president donald trump at their singapore summit in june. a major international conference on hiv and aids is wrapping up in the netherlands the fight against the epidemic isn't over last year around one point eight million people were newly infected by the virus and rates of hiv infection are rising in around fifty countries health officials have long stressed the use of condoms to prevent hiv infection now there's a new medication known as prep that can significantly reduce people's chances of catching. him on oil 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 should be he has to take the great day to stay protected. little about two years ago i

just use condoms. is always risky situations for calling i started to mistrust condoms then 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 semi legally as a generic struck a broad recently the price of the medicine fell to fifty cures the reason the manufacturers peyton will soon expire demand is high. as had so few honest predicate 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 and of course until they get far the combination of improved hiv

therapy and prep has already produced positive results say supporters of the new treatment. is in yet. we are now certain that prep can definitely stop new infections in the u.k. the 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 prep 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. of use 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

. let's bring in on your part our she is a senior physician at the center for sexual health and medicine in the german city of boston and she joins us for more on this story good morning anya thank you for joining us what do you think of prep do think this is the right medicine to stop new infections. it is why don't you weigh your mention spread really have. up to ninety nine percent to rent it should be infections as a way to reach people a little could not be reached before and to brings them into the medical system and to get some monster treated for as up as you i and to have something to people what about the decline in the use of condoms that would be corresponding does that worry you. might be a problem as i see as a rising that. the people who are taking credit say did not usually use condoms

making the bases before so this is just an additional way to prevent a chevy inflections and so sue could not be. looking at a global level we are seeing a slight rise in new infections you know the u.n. says one point eight million new cases of the virus appeared last year the international aids conference is ending ending today and you know what do you think is the reason that we're seeing so many new infections. i think stigmatization criminalization of people was living with hiv and aids is still a big issue you'll also see education treatment. providing continuous. problem in many countries especially zones. as anymore so we still have a problem to bring treatment to people and on some of our own doing. people can live. to have them on the social ready. for some drug use as they do need to.

stay needs to ensure exchange programs and criminalization and discrimination stigmatization does not help at all and to reduce any of these problems so when you are lost. so i knew within with the aids conference ending you know what were the most pressing policy issues that needed to be addressed and how successful do you think this conference has been. i think it was a very successful country. called issue is that treatment is one of the best conventions we have that has been shown again it's a partner study on so. rocks was less side effects but still she was not on the horizon just take decades what we do have that's nation said on the planet argued by luck so we hope that the base case we hope will have a vaccination play should be in the future we can treat him very very well and to have to distribute meant every riyad established everywhere we can use plant for

prevention and to get all of these measurements has to be and then the vitamin discrimination was just stigmatisation and that's criminals nation on the most important issues from the conference all right important progress has been made but more work needs to be done on your part of a senior physician at the center for sexual health and medicine in bowl one thank you so much for joining us on our program this morning. thank you. now to some other stories making news around the world greek authorities have said a deadly wildfire in a coastal resort near athens was started deliberately the minister of public order said there were serious indications of criminal activity concerning arson at least eighty two people were killed in the fire rescuers are still searching for more bodies as residents blame the government for the high death toll saying it lacked an effective disaster plan. cambodia's prime minister one sin has hailed his success in eliminating what he called traitors ahead of this weekend's general election he made those comments at

a joint declaration and favor of multi lateral trade a response to protectionist measures taken by this president wanted to trump the five member nations that brazil russia india china and south africa also vowed. closer economic cooperation with one another six members represent more than forty percent of the global economy and despite that show of unity china and india have their own agendas in africa their leaders this it in several african countries on the sidelines of this year's conference checkbooks and investment promises in tow. while visiting uganda indian prime minister narendra modi promised a cancer therapy machine for a local hospital and new infrastructure loans he also chose his words carefully. our development partnership will be guided by your priorities.

it will be on terms they will be comfortable for your potential. and not constrain your future. like uganda india was once a british colony it hopes that shared history can help bolster its foothold in africa indian companies have invested heavily in the continent for years. china has also poured money into africa largely in the form of development loans between two thousand and two thousand and fourteen it made six billion dollars available annually in the last three years alone it offered sixty billion dollars that money goes to roads dams power plants and agricultural technology all bound to chinese companies and suppliers while the e.u. and u.s. still invest more in africa chinese trade on the continent has taken off the e.u. hopes to catch up with a series of free trade agreements it's now negotiating across africa. for more on the potential off the brics nations and in particular that of africa i'm joined by

christophe caring decent general manager of the german african business association good to have you with us. president has praised china as a partner who treats rwanda as an equal unlike western nations perhaps. i think maybe he's a bit right it may sound a bit like a paradox but by following its own interests and by focusing much more on economic exchange china is also sending out a strong signal to africa and a strong message to africa which is we consider you as equal partners and not as whisky as is weak tim's asking for help which is often the perspective from europe and especially from germany to africa so i think he is. ok in terms of business relations i mean we've certainly seen that china and india are very active

in africa a continent of course with huge natural resources whether it's europe. europe is still the most important trading partner of the african continent but we have lost market share. germany traditionally is not as much engaged on the african continent than elsewhere in the world so we have to work and to engage just to not to lose too much. ground on this important continent which is. getting more and more important in the global economy over the years to come now your association in a way liaises between german and african business interests from a german perspective what is the german business strategy in africa so what we see is a big german multinationals are developing. africa strategy . working with africa more strategically than in the past and

even more and more medium sized international companies are testing markets and countries so we are relatively optimistic that the german engagement the german business engagement on the african continent. and we'll increase over the years to come but we have to we have to work hard on that right germany is currently not one of the relevant. players on the continent. because of kind of their general manager of the german african business association thank you so much for your time thank you the european union's chief bricks that a negotiator has cast a ballot on british hopes for a deal to leave the block by an october deadline michel bethany's said the e.u. would never allow a nonmember to collect customs duties on its behalf britain had proposed to doing

so as a way to prevent a hard border in ireland a ban is said that could threaten the e.u.'s customs union answer of a key policies britain is set to leave the bloc next march so a deal needs to be in place by october to give national parliaments and enough time to ratify. it's not quite a deal yet but more like a truce there is still a sense of relief though in europe after u.s. president on a trump and european commission president john closed you agreed to try to take the heat off of their transatlantic trade row the german economy minister certainly hail to the talks as a breakthrough that could avoid a trade war and saved millions of jobs but the french government adopted a more cautious tone saying any deal must be limited and benefit both sides. the victory lap has begun in the farm state of iowa u.s. president donald trump celebrated his new trade deal. i mean

basically we opened up europe and that's going to be a great thing for europe and it's been really going to be a great thing for us and it's going to be a really great thing for farmers. before trump and younger appeared in front of the press on wednesday business groups and members of trump's own republican party urged the president to avoid a trade war with results. so beans instead of card tariffs following their wins they conversation your promise trump the e.u. would import more u.s. soybeans and american natural gas trump in turn talked of lowering trade barriers it's a deal at the expense of others however trade flows will be rerouted meaning less purchase from china brazil or african countries. and that's exactly what sparked discussion at a w t o meeting thursday evening. the u.s.

representative had a few things to explain to his chinese counterpart. for now it seems economic peace has broken out between the e.u. and us but a single tweet could up and did all. the skepticism there's skepticism given the loss of trust over the past few months maybe even years we really hope yesterday's agreement will be adhered to. it's a chance for europe to catch its breath but the insecurity remains. a new record for facebook itself had the biggest ever one day loss in dollar value for a u.s. company social media giant shares a staggering one hundred twenty billion dollars in market value investors were disappointed by weaker than expected growth partly due to the effect of data privacy scandals facebook's costs are also rising as a focus is on tightening security and improving content. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. official results show former
