politician emraan khan he represents the center right pakistan movement for justice and we spoke to him around khan about the main issues facing pakistan. it is. the biggest crisis financial crisis never was this such a fiscal deficit never was this such a huge trade deficit and never would be institutions in such a bad state as they are in august the way forward is immediate reformation of the state institutions of regulators for the financial regulators the corruption ward watchdog. we need peace stability we need good relations and we certainly do need good relationship with the u.s. . u.s. is a superpower cannot be ignored unfortunately our relationship has been very one sided in the past the relationship has been whether you were us as used as a hired gun so we are paid to do their work you know to to fight their war the u.s. . has looked upon pakistan as an ally at one point and then as an enemy had the same tone so it's the only time in history i can recall where an ally keeps bombing its ally i mean the drawings we're bombing killing pakistani pakistani people causing damage and

voters emraan can must know this if we cannot stop the corruption and then he has no right to be the leader international observers say they did not witness any military indifference during the vote process but the election observation mission says the twenty eight hundred electoral process was not as trouble free as it was five years ago although there were several legal provisions aimed at ensuring a level playing field we have concluded that there was a lack of equality of opportunity candidates with large political appeal and financial means the so-called elected bills often dominated the campaign opposition party said there was a difference especially when votes were counted a multi party conference rejected the results in the competition. this is theft of the people. as those who achieved majority through this we need to accept. them the right we have agreed to demand a new fair and free election but i think. the election commission insists that the election was transparent but it failed to keep its promise that it would quickly announce the official results in mankind's party

pressure on the government it would mean more political instability but there's no turning back on emraan kong. and ridge ball where they're trying now it's strong. here like need to dig within the next few weeks to palestinians including a fourteen year old boy and killed in the late as friday protests at the gaza israel border. in the head by israeli soldiers gaza health ministry officials say at least another two hundred forty five people were injured stephanie decker reports from gaza they keep coming eighteen weeks into these protests and even though the numbers may be decreasing there dumond's remained the same lift the siege let us live like everyone else. we are suffering there is no electricity no water people are going hungry it's painful to keep standing we will come here to show the whole world we want our rights. my boat is only bombed and turned against as a civilian be wanted in gaza strip we all. know this is yes this is gaza is look you this is gaza's. yes and this is a friend of ours this is military this is going to tell you to list all of the shots for you are going to

emraan. prime minister. what day. however great. something that. again. today need to go where did that people are going to come out and. where they did. because people have now a lot of awareness in this country to nordic in order for political instability but we'll have to wait and see where they. go galvanize support. that they're hoping for at the moment. everybody looking at their own interests. really led by. the parliamentary yet. given it. may not be able. to kind of bridge into political parties. religious parties they should not be forgotten and they can cause a lot of problems. to go along with. comeau many thanks indeed it was it was come out ahead of the islam about at least two firefighters have died battling wildfires in northern california in the u.s. hot weather and high winds fueling the flames one hundred twenty five homes have been destroyed and evacuation orders have been issued to thirty seven thousand people say the blaze will probably be put into urban areas before it can be contained many on a home reports. the wildfire toole thro

will be announced tomorrow although we know that emraan sparty has stepped up. where they're already had a government. and all go likely to be the next government because there are a lot of independents and gordon depending ballin at the interesting thing to be which way did the independent board goal because i didn't go for the largest number of independent taking part in this election back to you come all live for us in islamabad thank you very much indeed ok let's go back to our top story saudi arabia saying it's going to temporarily stop transporting oil through the strait let's go to rodger shanahan he's a research fellow at the lowy institute for international policy he's also a former attorney an army officer with extensive experience in the middle east and he's joining us on skype from sydney we appreciate your time sir thank you very much if i understand it correctly the who the rebels have been targeting shipping in this region for quite some time why do you think the saudi arabia has decided to take this action. well i think probably because of the fa

the results aren't official but the outcome looks increasingly certain a victory in pakistan for emraan khan and his p.t.i. party. stun grenades and fighting around the al aqsa mosque as israeli security forces push back palestinian worshippers. the syrian families finally learning seven years on what happened to the missing relatives. and the massive growth in the u.s. economy but how sustainable is it. a group of opposition political parties has rejected the results of pakistan's generally lection following allegations of vote rigging and military meddling alyea .

but there are only a few seats left to confirm it is clear that emraan khan has won pakistan's election but his party is still short of a parliamentary majority meaning he will need allies to form a government so this is where things stand right now khan's pakistan in soft the p.t.i. party is leading with one hundred sixteen seats his closest rival ruling p m l in the jail former leader has managed to get sixty four seats the party of assassinated prime minister benazir bhutto p.p.p. has forty three and the smaller parties rather have all combined for forty three seats as well on the its coalition partners to get a majority of the one hundred thirty seven seats so here's the assessment of election observers it is our assessment that despite positive changes to the legal framework with the new elections act and a stronger and more transparent election commission the electoral process of twenty eighteen was negatively affected by the political environment the number of violent attacks targeting political parties leaders candidates and election officials severely affected the compay enviro

party which in the new comer if it is if you look at the pakistani politics it's a huge surprise that emraan kahn had been able to make it through all of this and right now as you mentioned he needs that magic number of one thirty seven which he can get very easily because he doesn't have to go to the bigger partied he has to go to the smaller bardeen like the m.q.m. in karachi all showed up against on muslim league q which is another party there are independent so they're very confident they will be able to form the government emraan khan and those who say that if anybody wants a recount get ready for the. name the constituency i'm ready to go for died so what did need right now. the opposition really kept really know was. a friend already started running the current india open nation benches in parliament so did the sign that perhaps it may work out by its by allegations about the elections but as far as the people are the larger concern they see the more numenta moment for don it is going to be imran khan's biggest day he's given one hundred day plan and he's going to deliver if you're go

allegations of rigging in pakistan as cricketer turned politician emraan card leaves the votes count in a closely fought general election. alex when you watch al-jazeera lies my headquarters here in doha are also coming up funerals being held in syria for victims of a priceless tack that killed at least two hundred forty people in the government controlled city of so wait are. also thousands of people evacuated incoming bodi of those floodwaters from the collapse of a dam in laos threaten downstream communities. plus. i'm a clock reporting from in greenland and white sled dogs a fundamental part of the new culture declining in number. welcome to the program opposition parties in pakistan are all alleging vote rigging as counting continues following wednesday's a general election provisional result show a lead for the third party led by a cricketer turned politician in run can his supporters poured into the streets nation want to celebrate but all is opponents alleged irregularities including the ruling. sharif who rejects the results and pakistan's own forces are accused of meddling

prevent emraan con from coming in he's got a comfortable lead deal have the independent. on his site their screens are trained and bug it's gone and we've missed the party defections from muslim really was we may see defections from all the parties who do not believe in the good desean because that would bring the country to a bring calls a major crisis come on what are the implications of all this going forward quickly if you can i mean he's already got a herculean task on his plate as you know. however if these parties go for a boy court then the election commission apologist on real issue are no different gave the member who did not take part in the old taking care of many enough god that would mean by election it also mean that emraan khan was still marked really have to deliver he's already given one hundred day plan and the people will be watching to see read day he's going to live up to a strawman stage door to door he's gone for during the day to be able to do it but there is of course we need to stay cordray need does. as prime minister did reign his challenger i

emraan khan of course has been very big on accountability here for all measures that he were to go ahead and we are today. that off to twenty two years of struggle. that started in one thousand eight hundred six and and call out has has taken me to bet that step and and god has been very kind that i had this dream in my mind and god has given me this opportunity to me to fulfill this stream. there was a phase and there was a struggle and this is the second phase that god has given me this opportunity. that those manifestos have been achieved. i had these manifestos twenty second twenty two years ago. i want to tell you that why did i come in politics into twenty two years. because the politics could not give anything at that time. if i had opted not to do anything i would have just. my life would have been really easy i thought that i have i will come into politics because i thought i thought that how our country was progressing when i was growing up. i have seen it myself that that pakistan this country went up and then it then it had a you know downfall i had the government system that

one thing is clear that emraan is heading for three need to be the next prime minister of pakistan to be important to see how the political opposition is going to react are they going to need more political instability or are the politicians going to be reconciled with the idea that they have suffered a major defeat that their traditional parties have been booted out and that the new party rejects promising accountability and change has been boarded by a watch majority. today. now five people are being killed in a suicide attack on a national security force in the afghan capital the taliban has claimed responsibility for the blast in kabul zz. district the dead include four members of the security forces and one civilian a police investigation is under way. for the funerals are being held for some of the more than two hundred victims of separate eisel suicide bomb attacks in southern syria the attacks happened on wednesday in the government tell city of other way to close to the border with jordan state media says a suicide bomber blew himself up in the market area another bombing rep

assassinated in two thousand and seven and he too has faced allegations of corruption and former cricketer emraan khan is the leader of the terek insaaf party which is particularly popular among young voters khan has been vocal in his opposition to government corruption let's hand out from what two of the candidates had to say. we can form a government in pakistan where a minister will be afraid of corruption but a national count will catch a prime minister and ministers as it happens in europe or. the i decide i want our story for you i want to authority to solve your problems i want to power sort of the laborers could get to work for their hard work i want to sort of do so that the youth can get into creation unemployment i want power so that the farmers can get the price for their crops i want us already for the woman to get their rights i want power to protect the rights of minorities i want are so ready to empower democracy and i will god willing to succeed in the struggle now bags of military was formed in one nine hundred forty seven shortly after the country gained independence from brita

and quality of life as a result of this very very transformational development yeah so what what emraan says there it's. you know good words but when you look at what's happening on the ground it's a different story. mentioned in the current haven't experts well actually there are consultants coming and going but there are zero. experts people with fifteen to thirty years plus experience on the ground working full time in decision making or olds in the government and these are tough to be foreigners you want find guy names are even going in the diaspora with discussions of ganymede but unfortunately there seems to be a reluctance a huge reluctance on hiring on the required capacity and that's unfortunate. well if action is going quickly well i don't know yet young as you mentioned introducing him use the sad face it's president green jobs on oil and gas and certainly used and given i'm certain that you'll be engaged in the future as well there have been a number of experts who have at this point been advising and been giving advice on the short term basis we've had internationally recog

eleven people have been killed in an ast rikon a wedding in yemen's northern sada province the saudi emraan see coalition bombed the town of gaza the casualties were mostly women and children the un has verified that two thousand two hundred children have been killed and more than three thousand injured since the conflict began more than three years ago lou the rebels have released a video showing the launch of a surveillance aircraft to monitor a saudi emirate he backed forces the armed group says it's used this technology to carry out ten operations during the battle for her data the coalition stepped up its attacks on the strategic port city last month the u.n. says the number of yemeni prisoners have been tortured and sexually abused by soldiers from the united arab emirates it comes after witnesses provided the associated press with drawings smuggled out of iraq the run prisons in yemen last month the pictures describe a system of sexual torture and abuse the u.n. says that its requested access to the prisons but has not yet been allowed in abraham khatami is a yemen analyst based in n

behind emraan car on. the ground democrat to get lines which are the number of dead right and wrong so he will be able to comfortably numb bush to get in parliament thank you very much with all the latest from islamabad come on. two palestinians including a fourteen year old boy you have been killed in the late as friday protests at the gaza israel border both were shot in the head by israeli soldiers gaza health ministry officials say at least another two hundred forty five people were injured stephanie decker reports now from gaza they keep coming eighteen weeks into these protests and even though the numbers may be decreasing their demands remain the same lift the siege let us live like everyone else might not be . suffering there is no electricity no water people are going hungry it's painful we'll keep standing we will come here to show the whole world we want our rights. my bet is. and again just as a civilian be wanted in gaza strip we ought to be bull. dozers yes this is go. look you this is goes i

candidates normally range toward the party that gets the maximum war dead that's been the trend dad's all emraan it's really all of them all gone for days but as you rightfully know i mean this is budgets on and on everything is announced or face really and the operators are not kept everything nothing is final of course and one consideration imraan khan has to have thinking about coalition partners kemal is the type of coalition partners pakistan is very diverse country we have very forward thinking people but we also have religious right wing we also have the autocrats. it when you look at the independent groups he may have to make a coalition with will two of the smaller parties that have won a round about a lesson seat he could be looking at possibly two coalition partners what does he have to consider in the bigger picture of what's going on in pakistan at the moment . well we don't know what imran khan is thinking right now i think there will be concentrating on making sure all that they've got the right number of reported all of the right number of walls however it is something important

though the rebels have released a video showing the launch of a surveillance aircraft to monitor saudi emraan backed forces the armed group says it's used this technology to carry out ten operations during the battle for data the coalition stepped up its attacks on the strategic port city last month and the u.n. says a number of yemeni prisoners have been tortured and sexually abused by soldiers at prisons run by the united arab emirates it comes after witnesses provided the associated press with drawings smuggled out of prisons last month the pictures describe a system of sexual torture and abuse the u.n. says it's requested access to the prisons but has not yet been allowed in ibrahim khattab is a yemen analyst based in new york he says there's plenty of evidence around of torture being systematically used in emma rotty run prisons in yemen. the torture by the us united arab emirates forces in yemen and their kidnapping of detainees and sexual abuse is being well documented by a number of international human rights organizations as well as the associated press so this there will there is st

head to the polls to vote for a new parliament the election is widely seen as a two horse race with emraan khan's pakistan tehreek and south party narrative ahead the former cricketer his thought to have the backing from the military has promised to tackle corruption also in the running is the posse of former prime minister nawaz sharif now led by his brother the pakistan muslim league is betraying the election as a vote on democracy and with claims of meddling by the military and then there's the pakistan people's party led by put has a diary the son of assassinated formally to benazir bhutto they could be in a strong position if the close contest produces a hung parliament and a move that's why a human rights groups the election commission has granted pakistan's military the power to punish people for electoral violations at polling stations that is it dark cloud over this election if you were to believe and sort of the public reporting this isn't necessarily as fair as it gets there been allegations of free fall rigging the military. has big favorites and iran is the one that they're ba

they're going to put pressure on iran but one thing also clear that emraan khan had a very strong vision and if the people. i mean. then perhaps they can read the storm otherwise the country could be heading for political instability something for them all i did there joining me live from islamabad with the latest. two more palestinians have been killed in the latest friday protests of the gaza israel border in separate incidents a forty three year old man and fourteen year old boy were both shot in the head by israeli soldiers one hundred fifteen people have been injured on hundred fifty one palestinians have not been killed since last fall's has started at the border at the end of march strafford has more from gaza. a lot of tension here in the soft anew in this the eighteenth week of protests by palestinians the protests today coming on the title of our children hamas every week changes the day the headline if you like all of these protests we've seen a lot of che got fired by the israelis we've also heard what sounds like a lot of live ammunition fired certainly in the last few minut

so just who is emraan hashmi now sixty five he was rates in lahore by his ethnic pashtun family and became one of pakistan's most famous cricketers as captain of the national team he led pakistan to win the world cup in one nine hundred ninety two he immediately retired from cricket to devote himself to social work he founded the p.t.i. political party and promised to ensure in software justice for all he won his first seat in the national assembly in the two thousand and two general election khan led protests against election fraud in two thousand and fourteen and demanded the resignation of the government led by the washer reef and he spearheaded an anti-corruption campaign he also promised to reform pakistan create ten million jobs and build five million low cost homes han has also called for the resolution of the kashmir dispute peace talks with the taliban and he has criticised u.s. policy in afghanistan all right let's introduce today's panel joining us in islamabad is the vietnam of an investigative journalist and academic in lahore p.j. meir a former cricketer turned t.v. host and

well this is a very tricky situation because the same thing happened in the last elections when emraan said there was a lot of rigging and his ballot boxes weren't opened not today the opposition is saying exactly the same but here i think we got a breath of fresh air and he said in his speech that he's willing to see whatever allegations and whatever you know mismanagement has been taking place he's willing to basically investigate it but to here the situation is not that d.t.i. has what the situation is different gelati of the matter age which might take place between p m l n and the pox on people's party no that is where the real crux lies yemen's huth the rebels say they've attacked abu dhabi airport with a drone a u.a.e. official has denied the plane the airport tweeted earlier that there had been an incident involving a supply vehicle but said it had not affected flights or operations it's not clear if the tweet was referring to the same incident on wednesday the hoof he said they'd attacked a saudi arabian naval vessel but the saudis say they'd actually hit an oil tanker for the

what they should not be emraan definitely looking bodied looking it's no longer a question of a wide range the really become the prime minister. by the open nation. of the need of the project on which. that day would be really good on the opposition vented that they want the assembly proceedings so summary of all the main thing will become quite clear that the religious right. and their dog the political. parties gone friends and by had they may announce something to vegetation that had died from the lake and got major noise most complete hundred fourteen feet. where they run tallied like need to go one hundred twenty by the time it gets completely outdoors that some of the delayed because of the fall flung regions of baluchistan. from where they're still getting good report we really have a clear idea what enron definitely in a very strong religion could become the next prime minister of pakistan going well of course he has huge issues to actually tackled the economy the environment security education health one wonders where he's even going to start and who's going to help him with

pressure on the government it would mean more political instability but there is no turning back on emraan khan's rake and ridge ball when they're trying now it's strong and it's here like need to dig within the next few weeks. so what do we know about imran khan and his policies the tasha good name has more now on the man poised to leave pakistan. imran khan has lived many lives he's been a world cup cricketer a philanthropist and a long time opposition leader for two decades he's tried to disrupt pakistan's entrenched political system often plagued by corruption scandals now as the leader of the largest political party he's poised to become prime minister pakistanis may soon find out if khan has the ability to deliver on promises of transforming their country. i promise that i will control the corruption and i will prove that we can have such a government here to where our ministers would be scared of engaging in. option as our national accountability bureau will prosecute anyone including prime minister the ministers as it happens in the west. in addition to fighting corruption khan has
