is the question the u.k. supreme court is trying to answer and it's clouds of smoke spreading to malaysia thousands of firefighters battle to bring indonesia's forest fires under control. so afghanistan 1st of all we're at least 46 people have been killed in 2 bombings and we had just a leavened days out from the presidential election the taliban says it was behind the attacks and that afghan security forces were the targets the 1st bombing at the election rally for president ashraf ghani in power one province killed 24 people climbing himself on the homs and the 2nd was near the u.s. embassy in kabul that killed at least 22 people more now from rob and bright. with a week and a half to go before this troubled national poll the taliban has threatened to step up its attacks to disrupt the process and has claimed responsibility for both of

these attacks the 1st attack in part of an the taliban says that a lone suicide bomber apparently on a motorbike targeted a group of special forces and presidential bodyguards it's not known though whether those bodyguards to try to intercept this bomber from getting into the rally and from getting close to president ashraf ghani who was due to speak nonetheless the result was the same that again as we've seen in previous attacks most of the victims were innocent civilians caught up in this blast this will be of a grave concern to not only the presidential campaign but also all of the other candidates in the coming days as they try to campaign around the country equally worrying for the authorities here in kabul is the 2nd attack that took place in what should be one of the most heavily defended buildings in one of the most secure parts of the city the ministry of defense building again that the taliban says that

a lone bomber got into the human resources department targeting it says soldiers and military personnel as the authorities here prefer prepare for these elections it had hoped to set up and secure 7000 polling stations across the country that's the same number as in the last election 5 years ago but it's already conceded that that number will have to be reduced to 5000 polling stations and we still have a week and a half before this election takes place. israelis are voting in their 2nd general election in less than 6 months prime minister benjamin netanyahu is hoping for a 5th term because he failed to achieve a majority or form a coalition back in april and then called for this unprecedented rerun more now from bernard smith in occupied east jerusalem. he's promised to annex the jordan

valley in the occupied west bank and he's warned he may be replaced by leftists who week in israel benjamin netanyahu is facing corruption allegations and doing everything he can to win this election and try to avoid a criminal trial. the election is close i can confirm to you this morning they are very close i call them all israelis to come in well just like me and my wife came to vote but they won't tell you for whom good luck and thank you for the prime minister's main rival is benny gantz his blue and white party took 35 seats in april's election the same as netanyahu could neither was able to build a coalition that would give them 61 seats and a majority in parliament. which leaves other door leaving as potential kingmaker one time friend of netanyahu loyalist lieberman refused to enter government with the prime minister saying too many concessions have been made to ultra-orthodox parties so netanyahu dissolved parliament you should think carefully how you will

cast your vote for whoever wants to see a liberal secular unity government without the ultra orthodox should stop and think for a 2nd so far early voter turnout has been the highest in more than 30 years but pre-election polls still predict this vote will be as close run as the last time to chose the country is split in so many different ways that it's very sad this election is for about change change that policy. it's about change. 30 years of that. i hope that what a void for is going to be there but. i think it will be divided again yeah because it's really close this is the 1st time in israel's history that a 2nd election has been held because the largest party was unable to form a coalition the polls close at 10 pm local time and exit poll soon after should

give an early indication of the way the voting has gone and then there could be weeks or even months of political horse trading before we know who will be the next prime minister of israel bernard smith al-jazeera in occupied east jerusalem. a supreme court challenge to boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament until mid october has begun in london the court will decide whether the british prime minister broke the law when he sent members of parliament home for 5 weeks until october 14th remembering the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. less than 3 weeks after they return to parliament here is john the whole following events of the supreme court there quietly behind you know jonah but i mean earlier when we came to you i got a real sense of the very high emotions there today. a very much so look the court is adjourned now after day one of this hearing

emergency hearing at the supreme court 2 more days to go we may have a decision by the end of this week or early next year in the course of this afternoon we saw the 11 judge panel of supreme court justices asking to pretty searching question of the government's q.c. lord keyed over the question of motive was johnson's motive in progun pardon was it they wanted to know. as the government had contended a way of bringing to a close the longest session of parliament in written history in order to open a new one with a queen speech at all was it as the claimant in a court last week in front of the scottish judges. contending that it was a sort of nuclear option designed to stymie parliament to stifle its ability to scrutinise breaks it policy and that's important because it was that issue of motive or more specifically the improper purposes the scottish judges pointed out of boris johnson but allowed them to render the whole thing unlawful and invalid including the advice he gave to the queen set against and that's also being

appealed here a decision by english like the judges a few weeks earlier that said look the courts have no place making any rulings tool on what is effectively a political process so it's a big circle that's going to be squared him by the supreme court they sit in a sense they have to decide whether and under what circumstances it courts can interfere in parliament and consequently decide whether this predication is willful or not and then china i mean if if this court is to agree with what the scottish court sales then one of the actual consequences for barth johnson and for palm and . well. well a great question i mean i read you what lord keene the government's q.c. said that the primacy will take all necessary steps to comply with any declaration from the city the supremes court suggesting that if this goes to. it's the government the 1st thing i have to say and do all the humiliation of recalling fun of it what it doesn't specifically address 20 more serious for boris johnson is that implicit in a decision like that would be that he had in fact lied to the queen that he had

given it. the wrong to visit. for a road didn't follow but now the idea of a prime minister lying to the sovereign that's something that is johnson might try to very difficult to resist the sorts of pressure that would build around him to resign. the home of the supreme court where the power of the protest. from westminster thank you joe. now oil prices are falling 5 percent on reports saudi arabia's oil output will be restored quicker than previously thought following those attacks on its facilities that weekend yemen's i heard the rebels say they were responsible and say oil security can be achieved if the saudi led coalition stops bombing yemen president donald trump says it's looking like iran is to blame but he says he doesn't want a war more from deborah legs on the in washington. president donald trump says the u.s. is still collecting and analyzing intelligence related to saturday's attack on saudi

oil facilities but says all evidence gathered dust far points to one country when asked if that country was iran this was the president's response which looking that way will have some pretty good to. have a some very strong studies done but it's certainly looking that way at this moment and. we'll let you know the spectrum said he does not want war with iran but said his administration would coordinate closely with riyadh and in response the saudis want very much for us to protect them but i say well we have to work there was an attack on saudi arabia and there was an attack on us but we would certainly help them but despite the alliance between washington and riyadh there are doubts about how much clout saudi arabia has to force the u.s. into military action this has been very interested in the past few months. on many issues so the troubled history and the u.s.

is not willing to basically fight a war we have the so it's the who the rebels in yemen backed by iran claimed responsibility for the attacks on monday iran's president hassan rouhani flatly rejected the u.s. ascertain in tehran was involved saying the who these were behind it and for legitimate reasons. the many people are exercising their legitimate right of self defense the attacks are reciprocal and the main solution is to halt these attacks the solution for the yemeni crisis is also political we believe that. president trump said it was a large attack against saudi arabia but could be met with an attack many times larger this is threatening language trump has used in the past against syria north korea and even iran without following through with significant military action but clearly tensions are escalating trump said secretary of state mike palm pail and

other administration officials would be traveling to riyadh soon to coordinate a response gabriels on doe al-jazeera washington. in the news ahead. i'm also angry about the profits that they said. to ask us to give give give the what striking workers at america's biggest carmaker think of their employees and how a shortage of fuel is igniting the anger of protest and this is an idea. hello the rain is gone size for the most part from china you still see white cloud here of the philippines and just hinting at taiwan and throwing the shot to develop across hong kong but mostly it's to the west in the southwest just as the ground
