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 banking b

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

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 promis

emraan khan is widely seen as the powerful militaries choice for next leader and he'll be facing a challenge from a shareef he's the brother of the former prime minister now washer we've recently returned to pakistan. to get our ten people have been arrested over the allegedly rape of these sixteen girls by staff at a government funded shelter police in missouri far poor city are also searching for a body after one of the victims said another girl was beaten to death and buried within the complex she was reportedly killed after having a disagreement with staff twenty one girls are thought to have been rescued from the home in total scientists in argentina believe they have discovered the remains of what could be known as the earliest giant dinosaur experts say the dinosaur named in genteel means that the fur meaning the first giant would have weighed about ten tons and stood up at. it up to thirty three feet tall in gentle lived during the triassic period about two hundred ten million years ago that's about thirty millions before million years before the jurassic period when the giant dinosa

i'll come back reminder of the top stories say on al-jazeera pakistani cricketer politician emraan khan has declared victory and a divisive election marred by allegations of fraud and vote rigging yemen sooty rebels say they've attacked abu dhabi apple with a drone official from the united arab emirates is denying that claim and syrian government forces have raised their flag over the village of al how my dear just three kilometers from the israeli occupied golan heights. now somalia's government is pursuing its first of a prosecution against female genital mutilation following the death of a ten year old girl the practice which is also known for its short short hand of s.g.m. involves altering or injuring female genital organs for nonmedical reasons activists across the world are trying to stop the practice and in somalia peace to be momentum which could change the lives of many women and goals with somalia's deputy prime minister mahathir mohamad delayed says the case is a developing one divine one for the country. the prosecutor has no appointed and sort of new to investigate this ca

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

is this a done deal fall emraan khan absolutely not it's not it's not over until the fat lady sings and she sings tomorrow the people of pakistan have repeatedly asserted their autonomy and their freedom when it comes to election day many elections have been engineered or plumbed and this this election has sadly been no different from many others in the past but that doesn't mean that the people of pakistan will accept the attempts to influence the outcome of this election this is ultimately going to be a choice that the people make and if there are attempts tomorrow to undermine the freeness fairness and credibility of the credibility of the election it's only going to undermine whatever comes there after so i think we still have a chance to extract a reasonably good outcome and that outcome will be whatever it is that the people of pakistan choose but the notion somehow that imran khan has already won this election i think is a fallacious one but one that certainly many people have tried to insert into the discourse you say many people trying to insert it do you believe the military i

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 going to keep fulfilling those promises already going to fail because the challenges facing the country are huge plus the opposition is also now warning but to get really the religious headlines they will be trying to convince the pm and also the p.p.p. that they should go for education they won the elections not in war and throw a lot at stake the situation is extremely fluid and imran khan boy he's got a strong correlation we show se
