we're entering. this is. this is the news hour live from doha it's good to have your company coming up in the next sixty minutes. it dead heat in israel leaders from both parties claim victory. a new leader takes charge in algeria but the country's way forward remains deeply on certain. setbacks for you and efforts to help refugees trapped at detention centers in libya the fighting around the capital continues.

and more anti-government protests to new capital as western governments call for a credible transition plan. so exit polls in israel show no clear winner and an election that's seen as a referendum on the four time prime minister benjamin netanyahu. the former military chief benny gantz from the centrist blue and white alliance was projected to win thirty seven seats while official results may not come until next week gans has claimed victory calling it an historic vote. sure enough the fuel edition of c. being the fuel of this thing that's the federal win isn't lose in elections but we are the winner as we might be new but we're not naive we understand that we've got

to wait for the true results but within a few days will work to calm a government as big as possible. meanwhile incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu of the likud party has also claimed victory these are live pictures from the headquarters and salivated that were celebrations at the party headquarters let's go to straight to harry fawcett who is now live for us right there harry i understand new exit poll numbers have come out benjamin netanyahu is due to speak set the scene there. that's right i mean we've been waiting for better or not you know to come here and speak for some time now his arrival appeared to be delayed perhaps for this with very reason because just before you came into the role here you only numbers came out from the two main t.v. channels suggesting that rather than trying best oh perhaps even falling behind the blue and white party it was in front is look at in front that the five to thirty

four that is the latest and i think we're about to hear now from actually not you know him so. so he's taking in the other ration of this but huge crowd but a very very exuberant and the sufferer's crowd. and he is preparing that with his wife sarra by his side as she so often is and he is looking a great deal more relaxed and a lot happier than he was earlier today when whether it was real or whether it was thin synthesised to try to get his voters to turn out in their. maximum numbers look pretty panics earlier in the day saying that he was falling behind as the kid was falling behind rolling out his post to give that message saying that complacency meant that nikita voters were staying home well according to the most

recent exit polls updated from the early ones that we got when post closed at ten o'clock he may just have done it and here he is now. and he's not even speaking just yet they crowd has taken up another chance in favor of the man that has characterized himself and the so many of these people see as indispensable to modern israel and here he is now saying thank you. why why i. think you. have not. done a bunch of whom thank you mary luxury we love you thank you very much.

speaking at the likud party headquarters in tel aviv that's also where our correspondent gary fossett as ads listening in so far that essentially was sell the numbers the final count as an hour that essentially was a victory speech. yes the second victory speech that we've heard so far this evening the first coming from many guns his main challenger and now this one some hours later coming from the leader of the likud party. and so now the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu he was very clear in that speech that he had one that is looking. benny gantz and more importantly in terms of the pragmatic next steps that the israeli right and what he said the right along with the leadership of likud will lead israel for the next four years he called this an unannounced to move victory given the circumstances he pointed back here to with us

in the media ranks. in even seeing a chorus of boos from the crowd below so he's saying that despite what happened earlier straightaway after the polls closed at ten pm local time some four hours ago. giving either. dead heat or a victory of some few seats to the rival blue and white party now shortly after that is being recalibrated by the two main news channels to give him a one seat advantage thirty five seats to thirty four to his likud is now saying that this is a victory that he has. to go to the president. a new coalition government and really for another four years very of course be checking in with you throughout in the following hours but we'll leave you to continue monitoring what's happening there at the likud party headquarters so let's take a look at what happens next there are one hundred twenty seats in the israeli

parliament are the knesset and to make it in a party needs to win at least three point two five percent of the told votes that's about four seats no party has ever achieved an outright majority and sixty one seats are needed to form a government the president will choose the candidate he things has the best chance of forming a coalition this person then has forty two days to form a government and if they can't the leader with the second best chance gets twenty days to try and failing that it can even go to a third candidate let's get more and alice's now and speak to our political senior analyst. joining me live on set marwan thank you very much great to have you on set with me. netanyahu in his speech made a point of saying that the first time he was there. as a leader of the country was twenty three years ago what does it say to that he's prevailed until now well first of all that he was a very seasoned politician that he succeeded against all odds after his first

defeat in one nine hundred ninety nine and was able for the last ten years to pull three other victories. i think what is on the other hand a bit more controversial is that you have here a leader who is for a long time now accused of racism corruption. of being a crook potentially indicted on three corruption charges not one not two. basically failed throughout the four terms he served in attaining peace or security for him or for the people on that occupation so really all in all he succeeded in certain parts in terms of israel as it cannot make record israel's certain achievements in high take and so on so forth but on the overall questions of peace and security heathfield miserably and as as i said on top of it all and

that's very important that israel is once again electing basically a next prime minister of a man who is going to be indicted on three corruption charges and who is accused widely of being a racist leader yeah i want to talk more about that before before i go to that let's talk about benny gantz and now this election has been you know described as being moving to the right or even more to the right is that how you would how do you see it well i mean if you look at the programs of each and every party that is presented and that's winning you know a dozen party or so that have won today the elections. two of them are radical religious right the parties one is a skin a-z. one is for a party meaning one is oriental one is western religious jewish nationalist parties and they probably would have fifty seats between them and then we have a very extreme nationalist religious unionist party that also probably

won four or five seat we have a radical right wing russian based party led by a big deal lieberman that's probably going to win four or five seats we have a part to know which is a basically split from likud meaning from the right another five votes or so and we have a number of parties will you know more or less we're going to make it like the new right party like. identity parties who party and so on so forth are even more extreme to the right so basically most of the seats in parliament today between blue white political alliance the likud party as well as all these smaller parties make up three quarters four fifths of the israeli knesset of they are miserably extremist right wing parties and all of them support a part paid meaning separate but not equal rule over palestine and that seems to be

the elephant in the room or one of israel's are the biggest issues in the region and neither party is addressing how they're going to resolve that. either one of them any better for the palestinians well certainly the policies were hoping that the person leaders were hoping for more guns than that then you know because guns is the more ready to engage them. engage them doesn't mean reaching the solution because they've been engaged for over twenty five years and there has been no solution in fact situation has deteriorated jerusalem now is because guys where america is kept out of israel settlements have tripled through boulder and so on and so forth now to be to be quite honest about this what netanyahu just said is not incorrect he did get more votes than ever before than two thousand and fifteen two thousand and nine one thousand nine hundred sixty get he got more seats he did maybe get less maybe as much as guns but

he will form the next government it seems from the bits of pieces that we have thus far from the exit polls that between the two extreme religious nationalist parties and the three other smaller righteous parties he will be the one able to form a government of maybe sixty two to sixty five members are of one hundred twenty mile and bashar a senior political analyst as always great to get your insight and thank you for staying up so they took us and being on set. right these are live pictures from the likud party headquarters in vivo that benjamin netanyahu has just finished giving what essentially wasn't a victory speech but the votes are still being counted and the official tally yet to be announced we will of course be bringing you all the latest numbers and all

the latest developments from that israeli presidential that israeli election thank you. and turning now to some of the day's other news jarius interim leaders pledged to hold free and fair elections but then ninety days ago their been solid says he has no political ambitions of its own and will set up an independent committee to oversee the poll but many are jury and are so many skeptical as this report. this is the man who will lead algeria for ninety days until a new president is elected the speaker of the upper house of parliament. was appointed interim president by the parliament a few days after our lives he's beautifully designed his decision followed weeks of unprecedented protests against his. what are police cars replacement faces a daunting task he's widely unpopular and seen by many algerians as

they are determined to push for a real change we have come out today in order to oppose ben feller ben feller leave we don't need you. we're here so the ones who are governing the country leave because they are robbing and not building the country they are destroying am i a serious political crisis began in february when president put a plea he would be seeking a fifth term in office he'd been in power since nineteen ninety nine but barely seen in public since suffering a stroke in two thousand and thirteen after weeks of protests calling for him to step down the army withdrew its support for the eighty two year old president and the jury has longest serving president eventually resigned but for many algerians their fight is far from over they want a clean sweep of the political establishment and the national unity government to

warlords on the one hand and forces loyal to the chip police based government of national accord on the other hand but people here are still there are still very worried they say that they're worried that their fighting in the outskirts of tripoli might affect their lives here especially economy they're afraid that the value of the libyan dinar might be decreased again because of the fighting also they're worried that other sectors might be affected by the fighting like education and health sectors many people here are counting on the u.n. sponsored peace talks as a way out of the ongoing crisis but as the united nations support the mission in libya has postponed their general national conference that was supposed to be held and the city over the dam is on the fourteenth of this month many people here are

now uncertain they were counting on that that conference as a way hour to put an end to the ongoing fighting and their transition transitional phases in libya by sitting dates for general elections. still ahead and there are certain see growth in northern ireland as bragg and send the balance again. and. manchester city gets a bad feeling of history repeating itself as they pay for the english team and the champions league. out of the last the thunderstorms are blowing through the southeast the us florida being the last to say goodbye and that will be i think during daylight hours now

sensitive rosalyn jordan has the details from washington d.c. . the u.s. attorney general william barr got to talk about the reason why he was called before a house appropriations subcommittee on tuesday the budget for the u.s. justice department which he has but mr barr also got a lot of questions mainly from congressional democrats about the moeller report a report that is said to be more than four hundred pages long but of which mr barr wrote a four page summary and turned over to calm words soon after march twenty fourth well mr barr then had to explain to members of the subcommittee including its chair jose serrano just how it was he put together this four page summary and how he got input or didn't get it mr miller's team did not play a role in drafting that document although we offered him the opportunity to review it before we sent it out and he declined that i would work diligently to make as

much information public as i could in available to congress's are good you will recognize that i'm operating under regulation that. was put together during the clinton administration and does not provide for the publication of the report but i am relying on my own discretion to make as much public as i can mr barr said that he is on track to make public a version of the mobile report by the middle of april that's in the next week but he also said that he has to make certain that he is holding back or redacting information that either goes to criminal investigations or perhaps could reveal intelligence sources and methods one thing that he did not confirm is whether or not he would be looking at using executive privilege the president's right to keep

communications private when it comes to releasing the report mr barr said that he believes in transparency but there were some on this congressional panel that indicated they didn't exactly believe him. in a response to an increase in violent attacks by white supremacists in the us and the live streaming of the fatal new zealand mosque shootings on facebook a congressional hearing has been held on the rise of white nationalism but other wittingly the hearing revealed the problems of isolating hate speech on social media share batons he explains. this rally in charlottesville virginia and twenty seventeen has become an iconic representation of the growing confidence of white supremacists in the u.s. on the house judiciary committee hearing on hate crimes and white nationalism began with business essence white supremacists have been responsible for more than half fifty four percent of all domestic extremist related murders in the past ten years and in the last year that figure has risen to seventy eight percent of all
