I'm Stewart Macintosh with the BBC News, hello.

Voting is underway in Pakistan following an election campaign that's been marred by violence and accusations of military interference. Secunder Kermani is in Islamabad.

The election campaign has been overshadowed by competing allegations between the two main parties. The PML-N Party which has been in power for the past five years, alleging that the PTI Party, which is led by cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan, is being backed by the military. The PTI Party, Imran Khan's Party, alleging that the PML-N are corrupt. We've seen a number of convictions of high profile PML-N figures including the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. His brother is actually leading the Party in Nawaz Sharif's absence. Polls at the moment predict a tight race between the two.

Greece is observing three days of national mourning following the deaths of at least 74 people in wildfires near Athens. James Reynolds reports.

Greece is still counting and identifying its dead. The Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras calls the death of so many people an unspeakable tragedy. The fires spread so quickly through this small coastal town of Mati that residents had no idea of knowing for sure which of their neighbors made it out alive, which did not. Officers discreetly cordoned off an area in which more than twenty people died. Their bodies were found huddling in small groups. Some survivors told me that the fires were simply a force of nature, but one young man insisted angrily that they were caused by arsonists.
