kyi lying to the un's highest court after she dismisses allegations of genocide. and on the final day of the u.k. campaign trail britain's prime minister retreats into a fridge to avoid a t.v. interview and former labor m.p. turned on jeremy corbett. and i'm peter simmons in doha with all your sports cars national champions also kick off their feet for club world cup in style with victory in the opening match. let's get going with our developing story israeli leaders have now just an hour left to strike a deal to form a coalition government but with a last minute agreement highly unlikely before the deadline at midnight local time the country looks set for an unprecedented 3rd election in less. than 12 months
12:02 am
israel's parliament has already taken the 1st steps to dissolving itself and call another election the prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his rival benny gantz both fail to form a ruling coalition after the last vote in september let's bring in our correspondent harry forsett joining us live here on the news our bureau in west jerusalem so which way do we think this is probably going to tilt. well it's going the way almost certainly that so many people have been fearing that it would go almost since the 2nd election on september the 17th the israeli president even from then was saying let's avoid at all costs a 3rd election but there was a pretty grim feeling that that's that was at least a very high possibility and it's become ever more certain as the weeks have passed since and now we're inside an hour before the passing of the deadline for the last opportunity this last 3 week window in which any member of the israeli parliament
12:03 am
the knesset could theoretically have tried to form a coalition government had they managed to win the backing of a majority $61.00 seats that has not happened and so if it does not happen within the next 50 odd minutes then automatically a 3rd election will be triggered what they're what they've already voted on once and how to do twice more in terms of actual readings of the bill is to determine the date of that election because if it was triggered automatically would fall on a major jewish holiday and so they're trying to. just tidy up the date. it's expected to happen on march the 2nd and already from benjamin netanyahu the israeli prime minister we've had river starting gun of the campaign on his facebook page posted an interview with a member of the blue and white opposition party in which he talked about the possibility of a 2 state solution and really endorsing that as
12:04 am
a final settlement with the palestinians then you know saying we don't want a palestinian state that's why we will win big in this next election and blue and white led by benny gantz has also be firing back saying he should save his lies for the election campaign itself and blaming him and his insistence on staying in power at least in the 1st instance to try to help fight off 3 separate corruption indictments for being the real logjam that has prevented a unity government being able to be arranged harry the thing is though surely it was inconclusive the last time why will it be more conclusive this time. well that's a question that nobody's been able to provide an answer to and i think that's why there is such a sort of shame face it grimness to the whole series of operations in the knesset this wednesday heading up to midnight the 1st election in april was inconclusive
12:05 am
the next election in september was inconclusive in the polls suggest that doing it a 3rd time won't shift the result that much the most recent poll does give benny gantz and blue and white a bit more of an edge than they had in this most recent election giving them 37 seats as opposed to 33 for the likud but still not enough to form a coalition government of their own and we've seen the kind of obstacles to trying to form a coalition government a unity government between likud and blue and white already there are some things of interest that could happen between now and this next election which we are almost certain will have been netanyahu does have to face confirms a an election a leadership primary and there is a challenger waiting to take him on so far although he's been trying to get support from local officials and the like the top brass of liquid seem to be sticking with now and you know there are also petitions in the courts to try to argue that he is
12:06 am
not legitimate as a prime minister sitting while indicted and whether he will be able to stand for forming a government and leading a campaign for a government as an indicted prime minister that is still an open question but most people are betting on the same 2 key figures standing again and a very similar result what we've had the last 2 times you'll keep us posted i'm sure we'll talk to the next in the meantime thank you so much. the upper house of the indian parliament today approving a controversial bill that will grant citizenship to minorities who face religious persecution in pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan now opposition politicians and human rights groups. say it excludes muslim refugees from the 3 neighboring countries as part of the government's hindu nationalist agenda a curfew has been imposed after protests the northeastern state reports now from new delhi i. i

reading would be disappointed in opening me a defense against genocide charges she said the picture the gambia presented to the court was misleading and incomplete the situation or a kind is complex and not easy to fathom but one thing surely touches on the 1st equally the sufferings of the many innocent people whose eyes the torn apart as a consequence of the armed conflicts of 201617 in particular those who have had to flee their homes and their knowledge living in camps in cox's bazaar. that was as far as the sympathy went for. the ring get 700000 of whom were forced to flee to neighboring bangladesh after a crackdown by the myanmar military suchi again refused to use the word ring when describing the mainly muslim minority ethnic group a denial of identity is proof say experts of genocidal intent on tuesday the gambia

open the case with harrowing allegations of rape torture and murder by security forces in attacks on reading it communities in 2017 sujit didn't respond to those specific allegations but said any wrongdoing did not amount to genocide and would be dealt with in me and mob outside who supporters also weren't interested in discussing the alleged crimes. i'm not sure to feel whether i believe or not we are here just to keep the body and we have complete faith and trust in the decision but it was she said that if she tells them it's going to be a good country and it was. the gambia says the ring gear are facing an ongoing threat of genocide and desires the court to order beyond march to take steps to guarantee their safety in response me and miles lawyers called on the judges to reject the application in a speech on sun sujit gave a brief history lesson on rakhine state and spoke about the complexity of the problem there but she again failed to address the root cause the reading there have

12:13 am
genocide intent of genocide is proven or not what is clear is that severe human rights violations atrocities were committed against these people many people here are aware of the proceedings in the hague some of them have been meeting with community leaders sitting around a radio listening having them translate what is happening there they've been calling for justice for a very long time but there is a skepticism also among some as to why unsung suchi when. she went to the court for her own benefit we won't be benefiting from it she was part of these atrocities against us she went there to lie and to gain public support for the 2020 alexion in myanmar she went to the i.c.j. for her own benefit. it is hugely significant what is happening so many miles away at the international court of justice but whatever way the court is going to rule it is going to take time many people will tell you that it's not going to have an impact a real direct effect on the people here people want justice they've been calling for that for over 2 years but they also want to go home now mean more hasn't given

any insurances hasn't allowed the united nations or any agencies in to assure that they will be safe if they do return to bangladesh has made it very clear they don't want them here almost a 1000000 people live in these camps and their future is uncertain. well while mr choose addressing the un's highest court back in may in ma dozens of ringle muslims appeared in court on charges of travelling illegally after they were arrested while fleeing persecution the rights group $45.00 rights released a video they say shows the group of 93 people including 23 children crammed into overcrowded cells as they awaited trial they're facing 2 years in prison. let's stay with that story for you we're going to talk now to a drawer when he's executive director of the burma human rights network in london he joins us here in the studio why is the narrative here for these people changing or being changed. in
12:15 am
a weed that. the narrator of all of these suits the political parties their their strategy their the their their goals to to get into the power and to get to mislead the people and they're benefiting their political goals ok but when you talk about strategy sun suchi arguably doesn't seem to have much of a strategy i mean since the original exodus began she has maybe her critics might say clearly try to avoid actually talking about that's why what she's saying now is so significant no i don't think so because of what i what we're observing is she has. to pick up whether she'd follow the international standard of principle in politics or she followed the same method the military's doing like populism which is targeting muslims and look at the party situation in 2015 she didn't allow
12:16 am
any muslim member of her party to stand up in the election during the 2 than 15 election and this is that this strategy is continuing now so that means the strategy is based on the muslim strategy n.l. also using that the same card into those in 20 years well and you can see now is very dangerously. so worried about that is her party is not promoting her image that the as if she's going to protect the nation from the from the from the attack from there any kind of issue the interest of the nation but the what at the moment as soon as the when they talk about the interest of the nation the put the muslims because the threat come from the muslim now the muslim the enemy of the state now ok to kill a point is there any evidence to support what would appear to be her central claim that the spark that led to the exodus the original spark. it was clearly
12:17 am
a tinder dry relationship between the routing and the armed forces in myanmar was some sort of military type clash between armed fighters and military personnel it is very small pocket size of a very desperate action of the desperate people i don't see armed struggle because talking about what she claim is that the location attacked by the us are arms movement army and these are the who are the just pick up small all guns from from the from the police stations then do they have that kind of coordination ability capacity to launch attacks in that they look at in the same day even the big you know those who have a military idea understand that it is impossible for small number of the very tiny bit of the people who could do this and this is a clearly a you know. pre-plan strategy because before our attack before anything happened

corbin is jeremy corbyn the labor party leader who's been lagging behind in the opinion polls but is still optimistic of a late turnaround he began his day in glasgow laying out what a labor government would mean for voters thank your elected government that would eliminate child poverty across britain and they can elect a government that will end the cruelty of the injustice of universal credit. they collect the governments that will give hope to the next generation by investing properly in education for the future all across the u.k. to do in scotland the nationalist s.n.p. leader was offering a fresh choice of vegetables nicolas sturgeon a greengrocer's in edinburgh urging voters to back her party to block boris johnson's bracks says he saw it keep. don't want to have for the cuts to public services if we don't want to be dragged beautiful again so willing to have borders johnson his prime minister envoy s.n.p. to make sure we take our future into own hands and build
12:22 am
a better future for scotland and in south west london the liberal democrats are concentrating very last drops of campaign energy on targeting conservative seats which voted to remain in the e.u. in the 2016 referendum this is been a difficult campaign for the liberal democrats but poll rating sliding steadily throughout the 5 weeks and their leader joe swinson excluded from the head to head televised debates but in certain remain leaning seats the party could yet still spring some surprises every vote matters we've got an amazing team edge in the campaign trail and i still believe we can stop forest johnson stop breaks and build a brighter future the opinion polls suggest the conservatives have just enough support to secure a majority government but the margin of error in those polls is big enough to mean that a result could still go either way paul brennan al-jazeera southwest london the last of the main parties have been holding their final political rallies prime minister boris johnson repeated his pledge one more time to get bricks done if voters grant
12:23 am
him a majority. let's go forth and say let's find out and make that final sprint towards a golden future for the united kingdom because we have 24 hours to end the deadlock 24 hours to break the gridlock 24 hours in which we can remove the parliamentary roadblock and get a working majority for a sensible moderate dynamic one nation conservative government investing massively massively in the n.h.s. cutting the cost of living and getting a parliament that works for you that is the opportunity of my friends that is before us tomorrow that's that's that's what we can do. need parker our correspondent following the ins and outs of what's been going on this last full day of campaigning of course an unusual 36 hours so we had boris johnson driving for policy in wall on a truck or a tractor then we had him hiding in the fridge and now we've got this kind of presidential thing going on in east london it's pretty extraordinary to watch it all unfold it's extremely well stage managed regardless of where you on the
12:24 am
political spectrum the conservative party have used every single photo op to squeeze out every single political metaphor that they possibly can whether it be early on in the day boris johnson carrying a warm out to the public a metaphor of course for his ability to develop to deliver bricks it to the british people but one person who absolutely cannot stomach any of these metaphors of course the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn his style very very different he's at the moment also holding a rally of his own also in east london for a muted very comparatively low key in turn he's trying to speak to people from a very different perspective he wants to earn people's trust he's trying to exploit what he regards as boris johnson's ability to be a showman to be full of bluster and bluff and that's what he is trying to set himself apart from as it were but of course at the moment it does very much appear
12:25 am
. as if the conservatives are edging ahead to clearly all the opinion polls are putting boris johnson ahead but he knows as we've just seen in some of the statements that he's been giving at that final rally that he needs as much support as he possibly can to avoid a hung parliament but given the way that breaks it as an issue neve has kind of split different party loyalties does and it is kind of taken it down to the lowest common denominator so you can't predict none of the parties can predict along tribal lines traditional tribal lines that's what we're saying given that everyone involved in this the 3 main parties the conservatives labor and the lib dems they know they cannot really feel secure in trusting the opinion polls no matter how big that leaders are boris johnson he cannot relax there we can't relax if we talk absolutely factually about how and how these opinion polls work without going into too much detail as there is of course
12:26 am
a margin of error the could be the conservatives have a much larger majority then perhaps people expect or because of that margin of error it could mean we see a hung parliament and what does that mean in the long run what it means potentially much more of exactly the same as what we've had over the past couple of years the words of boys johnson more bluff more more indecision more of a paralysis when it comes to political decisions being made in parliament but also you're right to say the other political parties the labor party and the liberal democrats also can't rely on their traditional constituencies for support we know that the labor party and their voter base in the north of england could well be eroded because the conservatives have been deliberately targeting constituencies where the majority of people voted to leave the e.u. labor dispute try to hold onto it hold on to them the conservatives desperate to gain ground there and it could be in the north of england where this is an election is one need thank you so much. lots more still

higher than the initial public offering price of a record breaking flotation makes around co the world's most valuable listed company although its valuation is still lower than the saudis had hoped nicolas cage explains. all the bells and whistles for one of the most eagerly awaited stock offerings in history after years of planning and several false starts shares in saudi arabia state owned oil giant aramco have begun trading on riyadh's to double exchange as a result of the oil producers shares rose by 10 percent it follows a crucial week for the firm obtaining the largest ever initial public offering raising $25600000000.00 for less than 2 percent of the company this puts its value at $1.00 trillion dollars but that fell short of the 2 trillion dollar valuation saudi arabia wanted and the $100000000000.00 it had hoped to raise back in 2016 how
12:40 am
to get the valuation up from the 1.7 trillion which was achieved in the i.p.o. to the 2 trillion and i suppose to a large extent how does saudi arabia now make up for the 75 $1000000000.00 that it probably expected to get but but didn't saudi arabia derives most of its money from oil exports but a recent draw an attack on its facilities in the east took out more than half of its oil production it caused concern among international investors who will likely be watching to see what happens next they had also been concerns the government would force saudi billionaires who had been detained at the ritz carlton in riyadh as part of an anti corruption crackdown back in 2017 to by around co's. this was always. that to be a win for the saudi government one way or the other they were going to bin the palais the markets and this is exactly what they have done if the else was anywhere
