term with the corruption charges hanging over his head this is exactly the question this is why an attorney was complaining personally to win the elections because the. big game he's to use these political victory elections in order to get immunity. from these charges that he's facing is going to use is. majority these really parliament in the knesset in order to make new legislation is so that he will not be indicted or the indictment will be postponed that if for another four years so there really a movement then the hour was first of all to get the majority in order to fix itself and immunity for charges that he's going to face but they must be some sense of disappointment now scampi even though he's likely to form the next government he has you know a new comer in politics tying with

a menace election. i don't think i think they're very happy there right we because the ten yo increased the members of the likud that will be members of the knesset and he is now more political power. coalition that will have sixty five mandates is not the he got rid of his opponents the right wing like enough tally bennett in a kid that formed the new party which is called the new right so i think he's better off as far as the. right wing coalition is concerned and it's a big victory for him and as i said it's not only the deal of the century and tromp in the. plan to make an annexation of power parts of the west bank is planning to get an immunity using is a majority in the parliament so what we're looking at now is israel facing possibly

weeks of political negotiations over the composition of the ruling coalition and there's been some talk in the last few hours about benny gantz possibly joining and if government d.c. that happening and what would that mean as far as the direction israel takes the turn you know announced yesterday in his victory speech that the all right wing government coalition anywhere will not go with guns together and also benny gantz the yes that they stress that they will not join any any government new government new coalition headed by that that because of his corruption so the way things look now i think that the ten yo will go a lot the only right wing heading right we government without guns thank you so much for sharing it is with us jani ben mannish and political analyst joining us

there from jerusalem thank you for your time. they spent more ahead on this on jazeera news hour including daya warnings from the u.n. about what's happening in syria as last rebel held province plus we report on the hopes and aspirations of people in india a day before voting in the general election and one of cuba's veteran baseball players hits out at president trump's decision to shut his country men out of the major leagues. sudan's president is under increasing pressure as western nations their voices to calls for political change protesters continue to sit in outside the compound housing the army headquarters overnight at least twenty people have been killed since saturday police say they will not go in front of peaceful demonstrators the u.s. britain and norway have issued a joint statement urging authorities to deliver a credible plan for its political transition let's now speak to a hose

a filmmaker and member of here if not which is a resistance movement that's helping to organize the protests in sudan he joins us from skype in kenya thank you so much for being with us so we now have this sit in outside headquarters in khartoum for a fourth day what is the end game what are the protesters hoping the army will do. ok so yes we've been there for a few days and this is after four months of actually protesting that this this party started in december mid december and it's been growing with the people about this or is becoming stronger more organized till it calls for the april sixth which was the first million people march and that turned into the city that we're at right now and right now is the person that brought this third army people from the army individual members will get together who are becoming siding with the people and the opposition party who've been organizing all this and the movements are all

in one place we're all for the first time able to meet together talk and and grow our movement to our next level but it's not the guy army that's backing these protests it's army commanders i still buy shares camp how do you make them switch sides. so what happened is a few of them switched the idea that the caucus goes to where's the headquarters where's the genius idea of this movement because when we went there what we dropped what the people said is we want the army to side with us because up to now the national security has been killing people doing a lot of operations that mean more than fifty people who died in this protest up to now and we were able to go to the streets because we were like detained i was a date with you weeks we were beaten and there was like torture so it was really hard to actually come up in history did numbers so when we went to the army were like telling the army protect us at the same time national security wasn't really able to fight in front of the army because they're like invading their space and

the army actually like individual members of the army stood next to it if i say george let me ask you this. let me ask you this aren't you concerned that. having the army perhaps side with the protest says even though at this stage it's not the entire army that's defending protesters against security forces aren't you concerned that they could be a confrontation between the army and the security forces that could lead to further bloodshed. that already happened so there had been like a clash between the army and the national security but up to now it's been the army just put it out that members of the army that already killed. there's a captain who's in hospital right now so there is going to be some what do we expect that most of the members of the army are going to pull and by that only. people who are like mid level lower ranks are going to cite the people with higher

ranks they're actually part of the of the problem that we have and they have to be face issues like judas i did not or you know. who so they are not going to switch sides so what we're hoping that people. lower rank and middle ground people in the army are going to switch sides you know get the whole army behind when a hawk army does it but it actually unites and stands with the people and so you're looking for perhaps or achieve a scenario like the one we've seen in algeria recently let me ask you about your view of what the international community has done or hasn't done since this crisis began four months ago we've had a strong statement from three countries in the last few hours do you think the international community has done enough to support the people of sudan who are protesting. no no not at all i think the national community has been being weak be slow and up to now ok like it's just mild and what we're really expecting from then

to have a strong statement i mean this is somebody who committed the genocide in darfur everybody knows the military dictatorship that i'm over here and people he killed so to actually just try to have a negotiation or a settlement is not enough there has to be a strong statement where change to happen and there has to be a way for him to leave power a lot of people say that they're scared they're scared of going to the i.c.c. or whatever so a bit of national community needs to step in and give them away at a way to give power to the people without being too scared and i think right now that was needed thank you so much for speaking to us joining us there from kenya thank you for your time. the u.n. security council is due to have another emergency meeting on the continuing fighting in libya fighters loyal to warlord heidi for have tamang dozens of people killed in the past few days on the outskirts our capital tripoli the un's envoy to

international highways that pass through it so far there has been no ground offensive partly to avoid confrontation with turkish troops in the area that may change. russia will be careful not to risk its relationship with turkey but it has the upper hand how it uses that leverage will determine what comes next and it lip . beirut iraq fears regional stability could be damaged by donald trump's decision to designate iran's revolutionary guards a terrorist organization iran's supreme leader is describing the decision as dishes and his vow to take action against u.s. forces base in the middle east iraq's prime minister says the us president ignored warnings. we reached out to all of our friends in trying to stop the american decision i spoke to king abdullah of jordan egypt in leadership

reminder of our top stories both main bodies in israel have the same number of seats with vote counting almost over a need lection prime minister benjamin netanyahu looks set for a fifth term with the support of a coalition of smaller right wing parties pressure is growing on saddam's president toward the u.s. britain and norway urging authorities to deliver a plan for a political transition on tuesday people joined a fourth night of protests outside the compound housing the men. terry headquarters in khartoum and the u.n. security council will hold another emergency meeting on the situation in libya as fighting there continues dozens of people have been killed in recent days fighters loyal to warlow twenty five top are trying to take the capital tripoli. it's crunch time for the u.k. with prime minister to resign may heading to brussels later to find out whether she can get another extension on break sit she met the french president and german

chancellor choosey to request the delay in leaving the block with no sign of progress on a compromise may is warning that the choice for the u.k. may be either to accept crushing out of the e.u. with no deal on friday or revoking article fifty and accepting no breaks it at all or speak to david chaytor in brussels in just a moment but first to join a hole in london jonah another difficult day for theresa may today. yes folly inevitably so i think she will go to brussels later and meet those e.u. leaders unlikely i think to get the short extension at the cheese asked for likely to be offered a much longer extension she was unable it seems to convince emanuel macron in paris and chancellor merkel in berlin on tuesday when she did a visit to both of them trying to smooth the way unable to convince them that enough progress had been made in those cross party compromise talks with labor looking for another breaks in fire and labor had already said on tuesday that there

was no sign of real compromise on the government side will any sign of them shifting on to reason most famous red lines notably to countenance a cow call a customs union after breaks it which is one of the options in votes last week that came closest to achieving a majority in the house of commons well before she goes off because she's got to keep her weekly appointment in the commons opposite jeremy colvin the labor leader in prime minister's questions in front of an increasingly hostile house of commons not just on the opposition benches and increasingly on her own backbenchers as well her employees feel risk many of them that she's reached out to labor to try and get a new briggs's deal on tuesday night it was a motion put forward by the government setting out this extension process it won by a big majority but with the help of fewer than half of her own m.p.'s prime minister may now he's in brussels with the sanction of the commons thanks to opposition votes it's an unthinkable position for a prime minister to be in she faces resignations if she comes back with

a long extension she faces resignations if britain takes part in the e.u. parliamentary elections in may both seem likely she's a prime minister with fewer and fewer friends and allies a bad day yes but i think the trees i'm a pretty much every day is a bad day these days thank you john and john hall and let's cross over to david chase same brussels now david as i said looks like that she'll get an extension. but how long this time it's a question. well the reason may be arriving here with a new date plucked from briggs it diary june thirtieth no that's not enough time as far as the european union is concerned for her to come up with a deal that will pass through the house of commons they know that they've seen the performances before is simply not enough will of the moment in the house of commons to coalesce around that rate that yet again too many short steps too many emergency

summits like this one here in brussels really captures the. french president on your macro and said they're fed up of being taken hostage by briggs it i think just about everybody is so it's most likely as journalists saying that there will be a longer extension now there are two dates the end of this year and also as late as march so almost a full year and it depends really whether this deal can be sold by the door to us the president of the european council to the other twenty seven member states but trees i'm able to arrive here this evening will have a a short session trying to explain what have plans are to the other twenty seven leaders and then it'll turn into a question and answer session apparently we don't know how long that will last but then she will leave the stage and they'll discuss it further and over dinner so it could be another long night for two reason may but it doesn't look like any long extension will have very severe conditions imposed limit and there's

a complication of course that we have the european elections on may twenty third and made the twenty six how is that going to go down back in the united kingdom the voted nearly three years ago to leave the european union to invest or thank you. well let's get a sense now of just how divided britain is over breaks it's lawrence lee has been to two english towns which share the same name but want entirely different outcomes to the crisis. this elegant part of london is the epicenter of hostility to brics its rich powerful people live here the entire notion of brics it is regarded as barmy unhinged it would economically speaking cook the u.k.'s goose the centrist liberal democrats who have only a handful of seats in parliament dominate politics here have defiantly nailed their colors to the council mast and they say get rid of bricks at once and forever kill

it stone dead it will have to be revoked because there simply isn't the time to put the legislation in place for a second reference or if if revoke is going to be cleaver let's just do it it wasn't possible to still have a break that i think people will understand that we just have to be honest and say what you were solves in the transfer trade sixty was a false it was a lot to be honest it was just something which couldn't be delivered it is absolutely impossible to overstate the sheer sense of loathing that people in places like this have towards brics it's their feeling of national betrayal towards those politicians who would take the u.k. out of the european union with no deal. becomes a vis richmond's and you're likely to get the opposite view here very many regard oppositions of brecht's it's as a form of treachery. this richmond is every bit as pretty as the other one it was voted the best place to live in britain yet the mood here can be venomous towards

both the e.u. and the british governments they dismiss entirely the idea that bracks it is some kind of mythical creature as their opponents claim. britain they say is being led like a lamb to the slaughter democracy is dying i think the longer it goes on the more extensions the more of the power of the people by parliament who are reminded and we will not get bricks it is simple as that i think it's delaying tactics so i can reverse the decision of the people we had the people we don't need in our people we should leave on the road and that's it it goes without saying that series a may is now being pulled apart by both of these forces in parliaments it will inevitably be her downfall abandon braxton revoke till the u.k. where to go and just leave increasingly it looks like this will be the u.k.'s
