do you think everything would be changing i think i mean the thirsting would be sort of a big sigh of relief in westminster in the house of commons it would take the immediate pressure off which is why people like micron in this meeting tonight on and favor it because they want to keep the pressure on these politicians but obviously would lead to a whole new set of decisions trees a mess said any extension on the thirtieth of june she would not be prime minister in charge of that's they'll be renewed pressure on her and within the cabinet and there will be significant is likely there would be a change in leader of the of the country of the conservative party i mean these are pretty crucial european elections anyway without the whole brics issue because people are foreseen the rise of many populist forces italy hungary poland perhaps france some in germany as well which could really very shape the european parliament why do you think that a lot of european politicians not the populist ones are worried about having lingering on overall if they're worried the brakes are going to have this contaminating effect they're also worried about the potential of fate of no deal in

a matter of days or just immediately beyond the elections the idea of a no deal and this economic destruction would be really problematic but most of all they are really worried about the return of people like nigel ferrari that it takes you seriously as a politician as a symbol of the kind of populist movements these the european union is trying to counteract at the moment you'd be really potent symbol symbol of bracks it again took over the agenda for the european elections alan wagered research associate with the u.k. in a changing european issue to have thank you thanks. well still to come on the news hour democracy on a massive scale inside the logistical challenge that is getting nine hundred million indian voters to cast their ballots the calls for change are growing louder protesters demanding the sudanese president step down get support from several western nations and formula one gets ready to celebrate a milestone details coming up in sport.

benjamin netanyahu as main rival has conceded defeat in israel's election the announcement by benny gantz is blue and white the party clears the way for the prime minister to form a coalition government and secure of fifth term in office and we forsook reports now from west jerusalem. just hours after claiming victory came a different tone from the man now likely to become the leader of israel's opposition leader ten what are the goals jean given the size of the blocks this is the reality the fight isn't over the dialogues continue you know give it to mean. the day brought only growing certainty that the former army chiefs project to unseat israel's prime minister had failed. i believe b.b. king bibi had been a chance in the early hours of wednesday and once again benjamin netanyahu backed up his boast that there really is no one like him in israeli politics. very moved

that the people of israel put their trust in me again for the fifth time a greater trust even he managed to take enough votes from right wing rivals to gain seats for his likud party without undermining support for his preferred coalition partners personally as well as politically the stakes have never been higher i think the main purpose of that anyhow in these elections are was to get a majority in the parliament in the knesset that will enable aim to make legislation that will give him immunity and protect him form the charges that he is going criminal charges it's going to face a few months israel's attorney general is due to hold hearings for netanyahu and his lawyers where they can challenge his intention to indict the prime minister in three separate corruption cases it's considered likely however that charges will be brought one of the key questions now is exactly what kind of a price the smaller far right parties might try to extract from netanyahu in return for their support especially if they're expected to go to the wire for him to help

him defend against the corruption cases he faces and it's a price that could end up costing the palestinians more than anyone in the final days of the campaign netanyahu endorsed the annexation of all israeli settlements in the occupied west bank palestinian politicians fear it's more than an election ploy rather a consequential political shift just weeks ahead of the planned publication of the . administration's peace plan i think that the whole goals of the game are changing because now this clearly superimposing the data on all of historical palestine. and therefore they have totally cancelled any agreements they have nullified the two state solution they have totally gated that requirements of peace they have totally violated international law and so on so now we need a hole in your strategy to deal with this. netanyahu stands to make history twice over within months becoming israel's longest serving prime minister and potentially

exposed to serve under the stain of indictment all his opponents talk of its being time for change enough israelis have decided that what they really want is more of the same very force it al-jazeera west jerusalem or the bellamy it has the latest now from west jerusalem. concede defeat but also said that it was preparing for the twenty twenty election basically hinting at the fact that come july after a hearing benjamin netanyahu could very well be indicted and not be any more the prime minister by the end of the year benny gantz also did say planning to lead a very strong and loud opposition bloc within the knesset the israeli parliament and he said that he will turn benjamin netanyahu is life quote a living hell on his side the incumbent prime minister is going ahead with his

plans to lead the next government the final results should come out on thursday next week president rivlin will start consultations with the different political parties who will each recommend. it to become prime minister and that will be benjamin netanyahu at the end of that process the president of fish awesome benjamin netanyahu to form a coalition government he has twenty eight days to do that it could be extended by fifteen but by the looks of it and by the numbers it's should be a fairly easy process for mr netanyahu well the u.s. president. spoken to netanyahu to congratulate him earlier he told reporters and that victory was a step towards peace in the middle east no the fact that the one i think will be very good. everyone said and i never made

a promise. but everybody said you can't have peace in the middle east with israel and the palestinians i think we have it and i think we have now it's better to. be happy one. well son is a visiting fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace and she joins us live now from washington d.c. madam thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera we heard their president saying that benjamin netanyahu was a step towards peace do you agree with that and if not what do you think it is a step towards i agree with him it's a step toward his peace and his peace is going to be a unilateral one in which the u.s. . presents its vision as secretary pompei o said yesterday during hearings in the senate foreign relations committee the u.s. is going to present its vision of what peace is and that vision is going to be one dictated by the u.s.

and israel upon the palestinians and it's one in which clearly an excess of the greater part of the west bank is prominent and given what's transpired in the last days and weeks with respect to the syrian golan heights being recognized by the u.s. as israeli sovereign territory you can expect that the u.s. will recognize israel's antics a sion the west bank settlements israeli on the peace that the palestinians. sorry in the please continue so it's not a peace that palestinians seek the peace the palestinian state is the one that has been twenty five years in the making through negotiations and a peace process that ended up going nowhere and you know tripling the israeli settlements in the west bank even though it's very much part of. for giving even

though the blue and white party did well a lot of israelis voted for benjamin it's now again used to make history for you know fifth term as as prime minister how key do you think that trump's support or you know it trumps obvious a good relations with netanyahu and self have been to his you know once again an electoral success. no i think it's been completely instrumental and bolstering netanyahu netanyahu and all israeli prime ministers are stronger when they can claim that they have the backing of the us presidency and there is no doubt that this president donald trump has been hand in hand with israel's policies in the in the west bank and has been normalizing israeli actions against the palestinians whether that's in terms of

recognizing. jerusalem as the capital and moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem or whether at bats been recognizing israeli sovereignty in the syrian golan heights the the u.s. has been handing israel gifts to bolster the netanyahu election bid and to strengthen him as a president because he is instrumental in the trump peace plan there is going to be a day of reckoning however because trump is also facing presidential elections in two thousand and twenty and he's going to want something in return for all that he has done to support to support netanyahu so you're going to see that you're going to see now the reverse in which netanyahu presents as the answer to the evangelicals in trump space as the

only as the only viable president that could could guide the u.s. it was also interesting is that actually a lot of. jewish voters in the united states don't actually support to try so it's quite an interesting dynamic any made over slee a folk are just a few days ago you know telling a conference of jewish americans that you know that was their president it's quite an interesting dynamic that isn't it that obviously the jewish community in the u.s. usually would support is robot don't necessarily support trump. well it's getting it's getting harder and harder for the jewish community in the us to support israel because of the direction in which israel is going now jews in the us are. you know very heavily in the democratic party and have a history of social justice and civil rights activism so to now see israel going

down a path of fascism in which you can have a party like jewish power a part of netanyahu coalition a party that calls for the ethnic cleansing of palestinians and not just from inside israel but also in the occupied territories you can see that this is you know this is become very difficult for you know not you know the jewish community but also i'm merican in general and especially progressive in the democratic party that just cannot abide by this kind of racism and illiberal ism that we're seeing in israel son visiting fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace madam thank you for sharing your views with us. now there's been a fifth day of protests outside the army headquarters in sudan thousands of demonstrators are calling for president omar al bashir to step down he's coming under increasing pressure after several western nations added their voice to calls

for political change behavior mohammed reports are. determined to make their voices heard sudanese protesters continue to come out in their numbers chanting outside army headquarters in the capital khartoum for another day one of the us dollar being under this president we have been displaced because of him they do to us as they please we ask for the killer to be ousted. but on monday and tuesday security force personnel opened fire on demonstrators staging a sit in later some soldiers intervened and others expressed their support for the demonstrators. this is a message to our colleagues in the armed forces that people here are brothers and have a right to speak their minds these are mid ranking officers power still lies with a higher level of command despite some saluting the army and calling for them to

part ways with the government a spokesman for the military says the armed forces and security forces remain united the mold i hope but i mean what about the police national security and intelligence forces are supported by the army we needed to consider certain things before moving the enthusiastic protesters outside the area very well prepared plan has helped us to control the situation in a peaceful way. opposition leaders say they're seeking talks with the army to plan a transitional administration and they now have the backing of the u.s. u.k. and no way the three countries said in a joint statement sunni's authorities must now respond and deliver a credible plan for this political transition but some activists believe more needs to be done is. if you committed the genocide in darfur everybody knows the military sanity you know shit that i'm never here so to actually just try to have a negotiation or a settlement is not enough there has to be

a strong statement where change happened. to be a way for him to leave power omar al bashir has not commented on the past few days of protest but state t.v. showed pictures of him chairing a meeting of the country's supreme commission for national dialogue. the anti-government protests started last december fueled by food shortages and rising prices human rights watch says more than fifty people have been killed in violence since then. in february a state of emergency was brought in but it's failed to contain these protests the biggest challenge yet for all the shares a thirty year rule. as to don appears to be heading to a political breaking point protesters say they'll continue to take to the streets until their demands are met. really mohammed al jazeera. but rima bass is a sudanese journalist and blogger she's been out in the streets every day since the

protests began and says police are doing little to defend civilians from the security forces. the police have been. absent like i mean the first day they were there they were tear gassing they were roaming the streets but we have i have personally not seen them after what but the security are very much a presence on the streets they're still trying to stop people from getting to the protests or sometimes they're shutting down the bridges they are arresting people intimidating them in the area around the city and they're still and they're the ones actually shooting at the protesters. so to come on al-jazeera this news our elections are announced in algeria but will it be enough to satisfy protesters demanding change in sport the footballers in. proving that disability is no barrier to playing the game they love.

and i bet it's having a good deal cooled off a some of us in europe at the moment on the satellite picture you can see this grey murky weather that's pushing its way southwards and this is where the cold weather is so cold in the north them that further south you can see some bright white areas of cloud and the rather violent thunderstorms in quite a few of them at the moment and there's plenty more still to come so plenty of showers here during the day on thursday they will be turning wintery over the alps and further west one or two more maybe dotted around pasta the western mediterranean as well spain and portugal actually the temperatures here finally on the rise madrid they should get up to around twenty degrees but elsewhere in europe and so much is definitely slipping away now so for london eight twelve we are maximum and belin will you be getting to around six for the other side of the mediterranean we're watching some rather strong winds pick up for us in libya you can see them here feeding their way northwards for some of us then it will be

really quite dusty and then also be a lot of cloud around as well the whole thing moves its way eastwards as we head through friday again picking up a lot of sand as it does say to the west should be fine for most of us here the chance of one or two showers around the coast perhaps and a temperature topping just around eighteen or nineteen in algiers for western africa well here a lot of cloud and rain plenty of showers now along that coast. it's the journey to work at our border means i mean. i prefer to live down the street or get to cutting through chance again like that but it drifts journey into the jungle. tunnel into the real world i mean really die the worst of our children to go to school and live because i'm afraid of risking you know the democratic republic of congo and i'll just sierra. the latest news as it

breaks health officials say vaccination rates here have dropped significantly with detailed coverage back onto the streets well of great the country has to work twenty five dodging to tournaments. from around the world there's growing resentment towards this currency not just here in senegal throughout your progress down for good. welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera e.u. leaders are locked in emergency talks over whether to grant the u.k.

a bricks in the late prime minister to resign may as ask for an extension until the end of june but the block has shown resistance to another short delay israel's blue and white party has conceded defeat in the country's general election the announcement paves the way for prime minister benjamin netanyahu to try and form a government and there's been a fifth day of protests outside the army headquarters in sudan's capital khartoum thousands of demonstrators are calling for president of the shear to step down. go back to our top story now talks in brussels to approve of the late to the date that the u.k. exits the european union well breaks it is an issue that has divided the nation since that referendum back in two thousand and sixteen the ensley visited two areas of england 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 ukase 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 masts 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 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 jail in the trades the trade sixteen 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 opposition to bracks 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 pave over by parliament. reminders and we will not get brecht's 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. 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 e.u. where to go and just leave increasingly it looks like this will be the u.k.'s choice and gareth and jeffrey can both have their way in this disunited kingdom this green and pleasant lands now so full of uncertainty and anger enormous decisions are about sue have to be made lawrence leigh al-jazeera. it's got all geria now the country will hold the presidential election on thursday the fourth of july after weeks of anti-government protests demonstrations led to the end of a bill as he's beautifully. the protesters want to revamp of the entire political establishment. reports was algeria's protest movement has

destabilizing algeria and create a rift among the algerians. spite of those warnings antigovernment protesters seem determined to continue their rallies until the political establishment is gone for the protesters the government and the interim president all staunch allies of the former president. and should have resigned when he stepped aside the fact they're still in place is fueling concerns the old guard maybe even moving to maintain its influence. zero. funerals have been held in yemen for the victims of an air strike on a school in the who they control city of salah the sodium iraqi coalition raid on sunday left fourteen children dead and more than ninety others injured it reports was they are carrying the coffins of yemen's young the girls many of whom are under
