>> and polling is still open in the polling stations around the u.k., due to close any minute, and then we are going to get the first exit polls, now we will get the first votes from constituencies around midnight, i guess in a matter of minutes. now. now, these exit polls that we are going to get in the past how reliable have they been? to the won't where they were better than 99% reliable. it is a much harder call with this elects, because instead of dealing with a two party system. >> paul, david here. david, back to the studio, listen, i want to stay with you, but i want to tell you the exit polls say

conservatives will be the largest party the projection is conservatives 316. i say that again, 316. labor to 239 a massive difference if those polls are to be believed two the between main parties, that is acolous sol amount of seats let me go to the headline for you and your guest. 249 for labor. we are talking 77 seats more for the conservatives if those projections are to be believed. >> the last kill polls opinion polls we had had labor slightly in front of the conservatives by 1% point, whereas it seems now, labor 239 seats the conservative 360 quite a massive difference. >> incredible. we always knew it would be difficult to translate vote share.

but if the exit poll is accurate, this is a terrible night for labor. on the back of the problems that the conservatives have, facing the challenge it will be a disaster for them if this comes tonight. >> just doing some massive math. looking at these figures 316 seats and again these are just exit polls they are not 100% accurate, with nine seats doesn't that bring the conservatives to 326 which is what they need. >> yeah, it is. and the labor party and the liberal democrats have spent

all of the campaign saying how much they were not going to do deals with each other in order to govern. well they don't need to if this poll is accurate, because it means the conservatives and the liberal democrats can form another coelation, at 326 they just scrape over the line it means they can't afford for any of their m.p.es to cross the floor to another party. it will be an unstable government if this is reflected overnight but it dui mean that david cameron can remain, and that the coalition will move on. which we thought was a better case scenario. >> everyone has been talking about this as the election campaign future of the u.k., coalition politics still is, but the same presumably, that is governed for the past few years. >> britain just isn't used to hung parliaments.

in fact, if this is a hung parliament, which we can assume lit be, this is only the second time in 183 years that we have had two hung parliaments in succession. and the voting system here, first part isn't equipped to deliver coalition governments. we are just not in the british psyche. until 2010, the public were -- i think it is safe to say scared of what a coalition would bring. knew they would still prefer one party, that is still dug into the british psyche, and i think the conservatives and the liberal democrats have shown that it can work. >> we will be crossing live to you throughout the evening. just to repeat those figures again, the conservatives with 316 seats. if you think the most recent opinion polls actually have labor 1% point ahead of the conservatives well these figures don't look very good. the labor with nine seats

forgive me, ten seats and that would mean that another coalition between the conservatives and the liberal democrats would be possible. so far then looking at a these exit polls. of course, it is still early and we will get more resultses that night goes on. >> yeah, those polling stations have been closed now for five minutes and three seconds. and we are already talking ant the next five years but as you say let's take a look at these and put it into context, if it is 316 for the conservatives if it is ten for the liberal democrats and if expected those final results deliver a hung parliament it would mean no single party quite obviously has a majority. but add those together, and it is something extraordinary. an absolutely majority requires 326 seats and the

conservatives 326. just a projection, so which parties can work together even throe the labor leader has ruled out a formal alliance both the parties maybe social policies and others that may consider joining this coalition. as well as the green party and northern ireland's s.d.l.p. on the other side, conservatives have fewer potential partners to reach out to, of course they may not need to, one can be the right wing independent party price of cooperations there would be an immediate referendum on britain leaving the e.u., that's u.k. now conservatives may look against the liberal democrats the coalition par merits for the last five years and while another option, is the democratic unionist party from northern ireland, we don't know. we have absolutely no idea at

the moment exactly where it is all going to end un, but i have to say at al jazeera's commentator on british politics, this is really expecting to see that, way don't know anything for sure. >> no. >> but you sort of went what? >> i think most journalists the f you look at the twitter reaction there's a collective gasp of breath. no one saw that coming. if this exit poll is correct we are looking at the humiliation for the pollsters because it wasn't supposed to be this comfortable. i know it is a hung parliament but david cameron has what he needs to stay on as prime minister. or in alliance with the lib determine whose have been destroys tonight. down ten seats. >> and in scott land labor is

wiped out. and now they are projected 58 stay where you are because i am going to see if we can go to phil lavell, who is in the scottish city. projected phil, 58 seats for the s.m.p. we must hammer home that this is just the way the exit polls have worked those people have been coming out of thele polling stationing stations now 58 seats remind us where that would fit in with the parties have done in the past. >> you are just talking about surprises because the s.m.p. have been expected to do incredibly well. but the polls have been putting as many as 56, potentially all 59 of those seats. if you look at the history scotland is mas.sively dominated by labor. it has been since 2010

specifically, you look at the make one of this country there's a huge sea of red the liberal domes tend to be second party. and a smattering of s.m.p., there were six voted in 2010. if they are going to take 5018 that represent as massive increase. here in glasgow you may be able to see there are seven areas here. there were seven constituencies that are all being counted towards. that one seat they may not take, there is a couple that may potentially lose, it is widely expected they will take the majority of seats and there are several big names that could lose their seats. the foreign secretary the man that has led the campaign he faces loses his seat to a 20-year-old member of parliament. >> you see the funny thing -- >> jim murphy. >> one of the funny things

about this is it may be a brilliant night for the smp in terms of the seats it has gained potentially, in scotland but if david cameron gets 316 the role they are going to play in changing the way the u.k. is governed will be much smaller. possibly we end up with the same concern before. nikoloz happen before sheer the leader of the smp that she will not work with the conservatives at all. she says that she will not have anything to do with the conservatives in fact, she says she would rather lock the conservatives out she has been very vocal say come friday morning she would be sitting across the table talking about the labor of the leader party about the terms of any potential deal.

a professor of politics from sterling university, paul, 58 out of 59, that is a phenomenal result, if it is true. >> yeah, it is remarkable. never seen anything like it, this is a labor dominated country. so the smp go to 58, is never seen anything like it. >> the labor party has been selling their big players off here to really work those seats obviously icord dog this poll that has not works. >> it looks like it has not works at all. we have had that suspicion for some time. nothing seems to have works at all. >> okay, paul, get yourself a coffee way will be here all night. we will expect the first result in two hours or sore. we will be back with you a lot through the course of the

night. while we have been talking to our people out there we have been doing some call cutelating. conservatives continue with the liberal democrats it is numerically possible, but you are suggesting they might not need to. >> if this exit poll is correct, the big if of the night, and spot on in 2010 completely whereon in 1992, when they went into the night with a win let's assume this poll was right and david cam rob can stay on without a coalition, because the magic number is 323 not 326 because the smps don't vote, so with the d.u.p., which is another irish party. very conservative, if those eight mps back cameron cameron can carry on with a minority which is what they want because they don't want

another coelation a lot of talk about a referendum, if he has the backing of the d.u.p. will he need still to go for a referendum, or is that it. >> the referendum is nonnegotiable, he will resign if it us cann't happen, there's talk of it being sooner, we could have it in 2016. look, this is going to be. >> he will get tut way he wants to. >> look, they will say why would they have lib determines in coalition. they are losers on a massive scale. to go down from 57 seats to ten seating in the space of a parliament is astonishing. it will be all over for him very soon in a matter of

hours and days if that is true u.k. independent party a lot of air time, projected to get two seeds but some people have been suggesting they may not be in line to get any it's leader trying to win the seat down on the coast. let's go to jona, in the east coast for us. i don't know, what are they saying down there when they heard the projections. >> they are only expecting a result on nigel result here around 5:00 o'clock in the morning but of course, this will not be good news for u.k. the party will have been expected to do much better. one senior candidate said that they confidently

expected to get a hand full of seats. what does that mean, he says well i have five fingers on my hand, the big question now though is whether one of those two seats will be this one. because this of course is where the leader nigel is standing. if you have watched five minutes of the british election campaign, you will know who he is, always grinning. a former commodities broker who is pretty substantial political following in this country is drawn in his words from ordinary people, with common sense traditional british values. those terms mean closing the flood gates of immigration from europe, taking britain out of the union reducing the foreign aid budget, to balance the books and so on, now the question as nigel done enough to keep this seat? there are to hold on he said he will resign if he loses

it, the following has gone slightly down, according to the polls it will be a tight finish at five or six in the morning. a three way race to close to call. >> the strange thing, of course is even if -- if it comes to bear that we have ten dems, 239 labor and 316 conservatives, it appears that people are not as disgruntled, not as dissatisfied with the status quo, with the rules. as nigel would have us believe. >> well, there was always the chance david as it became clearer and clearer that this election was going to be so tightly fought between the conservatives and labor that he would lose sup effort polling stationsers who would drift back to their roots. it has taken conservatives away that it would lose them back to their roots because

of the closeness of this race. nigel himself has also alienated a lot of voters because of controversial that has courted this party comments comments that he has made. suggesting that hiv positive foreigners should be banned from using the national health service. et does appear. they are to be believed that he has lost a lot of support. >> before we leave you and the last we can hear from you at the moment, i must say there's another poll out. a moment it look as little bit clotter. it says 260 for labor, 280 for the conservatives. much much closer than that exit poll that we have seen, but polls are polls and we will see what comes out of that later. in mar gait, thank you for

now we have a great deal more ahead, as we bring you coverage of the u.k. elections. >> fears that fighting in syria mount nows region will spill over the border into lebanon. and it is all systems go, paris given the green light to realize a 100-year-old olympic dream. we have robin with that and the rest of the sport. as ever, we cover the world here on al jazeera english and we take you here to the middle east, the saudi military saying it will target the rebel group saying they have crossed a red line by attacking saudi territory. saudi arabia earlier offered to pause attacks for five

days to allow deliveries of humanitarian aid. they said only they would do this if the houthis also stopped. there's offer of a cease fire was welcome. he has been this the capitol talking with saudi leaders as well as with yemen's exile president. >> late on wednesday the ambassador to the united nations asked the community to send land forces. >> he said urgently. it's all been brought about the upset in people trapped there, let's hear from mohamed who is in saudi borders a arabia. >> this is the southern city after weeks of chaos. hundreds have been killed and thousands have lost their a livelihoods. but there may a be a a opportunity for a temporary

break in the violence. today we particularly welcome a new saudi borders ady initiative. to try to bring about a peaceful resolution think the announcement of their intent to establish a full five day renewable cease fire and humanitarian pause. no bombing, no shooting, no movement or repositioning of troops. u.s. certain stair a of state a has been meeting saudi borders ady and yemen officials. and if the houthiss and loyalist of former president respond favorably his proposal could change the situation on the ground. the five day truce is renewable, which means that if the initial cease fire holds there's likelihood of a a longer truce. the purpose is not only to facilitate the distribution of the humanitarian relief supplies but also to open a window of opportunities for

talks to start a. king solomon has announced a conference in riyadh which the foreign minister referred to to which he is inviting all yemen parties. and we support that conference. >> the two ministers pointed out that after a the initial conference proposed by saudi arabia which will be held on the 17th of this month the saudi borders adies and the government of yemen encouraging subsequent talks to be held within the help of the u.n. the houthis say a they are offered to talk as and negotiations but will not attempt any that are hosts by countries that support the saudi led coalition. you will remember today that they will never ever ever go to riyadh because riyadh has attacked us. riyadh is not any more neutral, neither any country in the gulf except omad. >> this is all based on the

houthis complying with the cease fire. there will be a cease fire everywhere or a cease fire nowhere if this offer holds it is the biggest step yet to bringing all sides to the negotiation table. al jazeera, despite the talk of a a cease fire, a spokesman for the saudi borders ady dead coalition said a there was a painful response to any attacks on land inside saudi borders a arabia. >> will never end until the objectives made of the political leadership are done

and fulfilled and met. we are with security only aist, that is his root, what do you think when you hear on the one hand, the diplomates say aing look, we will be propair as to offer a five day a cease fire, and on the other hand you have the military saying we are going to bomb you, across can the red line which one of these events should we believe, or both or none. >> i think with have to believe both of them, in the past, the military a say as we have aachieved our objectives and we won't carry on with the air campaign. and then of course they are carried on, i think this shows the confusion about a this whole campaign. it doesn't aa peer to be well thought out. even the statement a on the cease fire is hirely conditional. if the houthis also crees but also they will aa nouns

the cease fire with further conditions. so it's not clear what will happen a. >> and every cease fire that we have reported on, or i have been witness to comes with an independent negotiator that say as we will go in and work out a time when you have to stop fighting by not by one of the sides say aing we will stop it if you do, because you never get to that point yes it is curious the only thing that a is different about a this one, of course, is that john query's directly involved and it seems he has been a catalyst, if not the driver so there may a be a bit more of an a incentive to do something then there's a question is the question over what they a will do with it. of course one thing that we forget, even if they a come

to an agreement, there are two major players there. they are not part of this, and they are quite capable of spoiling this whole thing on their own. >> all very unclear but thank you for helping us to understand that it is unclear. the royal united services institute. >> thank you very much. >> now sight that's the research organization which tracks the movements of several armed groups is reporting that a senior official from al quaida a in the arabian peninsula a group we have been talking about has been killed in an u.s. air a strike a. he aa peered in a number of videos including juan a where his group claim ad responsibility on the attack of the french magazine char ally member doe in paris a. any a more detail as about when this happened, whether it is true, and what the reactions from the united states. >> speculation as a you

might expect, it is difficult to confirm these sorts of reports. a few journalists have gone out to actually monitor and check out the scale of the u.s. air a strikes in yemen. but very little firm information right now sight was alerted because they posted a video on youtube and twitter. and several others. i am aafraid i cannot give you a specific response. on this particular strike. and if i will say that a the general question of aqap in yemen we continue to apply

pressure there. taking your conversations with the administration military officials that they are much more conservative about perhaps the build up. the al quaida a. those people directly ainvolved in how it appears to be. >> that seem as to be something that we heard the administration a firms when the bombing began. they a would rather there was a a government normally in control, that can can give them the nod. because then the u.s. can skirt any a questions. the government has asked us in and of course the houthis themselveses have had spoken out against air a strikes. even though the a. aq.a.p. are their a natural enemies. of course, announcing one of his most recent video recordings was about a how the yemen people needed to rise up against the houthis aaliens a. having said a that, the houthiss in the past a are

against any infringing sovereignty by the u.s., so that is has been a factor. in the u.s.' call a cuelation as. but interestingly according to the speculation. and there is speculation about a where and when they may a have been killed. there's a suggestion it may a have been in -- which can is in a a city in eastern yemen. which a.q.a.p. took over in early april aa midst all a this renewed chaos, so they a said a that's the sort of advantage a a.q.a.p. is taking as a they a continue. >> thank you very much indeed. returns live for us in washington d.c. >> this is what we have coming up on the news hour. the latest on the u.k. election as an exit poll predicts the conservatives will be the largest party in parliament but short of a a overall a majority. after a the president insists he will run for a third term. and in sport the tiny cross that can mean big problem for

a huge increase to 58 a seats. a projection as a that to that even though they are way down. 326 that's more than you need to command the majority in the house. that a's a the par aty out of northern ireland you would then have enough to be a minority government, but just say aing we need help now and then to form a minority government. rather than a government with a overall majority. a lot to talk about but the big surprise is those numbers are supposed to be much much closer together. let's go to barbara, my colleague. in westminster in value a london that's outside a the houses of par a limit, it is a shocker, it is not a fact, but it is just supposition at a the moment, there are

others -- a couple of other polls have a look at a maybe say a it won't be quite as big a gap between the two of them, it still looks like david a cameron will be the man i could be the next prime minister. >> i suppose that definitely is that point. but what is remarkable the difference between the exit polls that have the conservatives with 316 seats and labor with 239 the massive difference between that a and the opinion polls that we have had a for the past six weeks of cam a paining, which show that a the conservatives and labor are neck and neck and lay a boar often ahead. so i guess maybe not a great night so it is possible that

there's an issue a around marginal seat selection but we know from 2010, the the exit poll certainly back then was stunningly accurate. >> so it is asking people who did you vote for. >> and that matches the only question that a is asked of them and only in seats that are likely to change hands. the other poll is an opinion poll where you dip into the population at large. and try to take a a representative sample a of people who are voted and find out how they did vote. so it's far too early to tell which one is the most accurate, i have to say the exit poll was the more surprising of the two because if it did prove it is very difficult to see how it care aries on, the liberal democrats will be slaughtered and the smp would blast everything else. i am not convinced i have to say a i think lit be closer. >> the poll which gives labor 263 seats to the

conservatives very much in line with the opinion polls but even so, with the poll, that gets the conservatives much closer into the sort of territory they a need to be, and if they are to form a coalition, government i still remain of the view if the poll is correct and the opinion polls are collect then lit be much much more difficult for the conservatives to form any a kind of government at all. because they a don't have the numbers with them, it all rests on whether around a 30 seats have gone over to labor, or to the conservatives tonight. and we won't know that until breakfast time tomorrow. >> and we will be here right until breakfast time. it wouldn't be an election,
