time's up israel is set for a 3rd election in a year after politicians missed the deadline to form a government. hello and welcome i'm peter told me you're watching all to 0 live from london also coming up. protests in the northeast of india as a bill is passed giving citizenship to non muslims from neighboring countries. bringing the refugees accused me and mass leader and son suchi of lying to the un's

highest court after she dismisses allegations of genocide. and on the last day of campaigning britain's prime minister retreats into a fridge to avoid a t.v. interview and former labor m.p.'s turned on jeremy corbett. israel appears headed towards an unprecedented 3rd election in less than a year with the failure of politicians there to form a coalition government the midnight deadline has just passed but the knesset has already taken the 1st steps to dissolve itself and call another election neither prime minister benjamin netanyahu nor his rival benny gantz could form a coalition after the last to vote in september kerry force it is our correspondent in west jerusalem so harry when do we think this will happen. well the the decision i think on a possible unity government or

a coalition government that is now done and dusted bar the official confirmation from the the president the knesset that nobody actually came up with the 61 members required to form that coalition government so that would automatically trigger a 3rd election there is still time though after this deadline for the voting to decide the actual date and without a vote on a date then the automatic date would be the 10th of march next year that coincides with an important jewish holiday and so there had already been an agreement between the 2 main parties that they should be march the 2nd and so we're still waiting for the 2nd and 3rd reading of the bill which will ensure that it is march the 2nd but it does seem as if what everybody had been worried about what the president of israel had been warning against what the israeli electorate really has no appetite for is going to happen a 3rd election in the space of less than

a year because neither benjamin netanyahu insisted on staying in office for a few months at least as prime minister despite the fact he was indicted in 3 separate corruption cases last month and the position of benny gantz the leader of the blue and white opposition party that he wouldn't sit with an indicted prime minister neither of those 2 has shifted and so here we are no government formed after a 2nd consecutive inconclusive election and now we're looking at a 3rd one in a row so is mr netanyahu heading towards a situation where in the 1st sort of arena he's campaigning to win reelection or campaigning to stay out of course. he's doing both in one sense the the idea that he's trying to convey is that in the next few months there could be very important security considerations that could be an opportunity to an exporter of the occupied west

bank the jordan valley extend israeli sovereignty to the illegal settlements in the west bank and that is why he needs to be there to capitalize on this moment and then this is this is the talk he was in he was propounding before these that elections came through saying that this was these were his conditions for a unity government with his opponents in blue and white but talking to senior legal analysts and experience legal scholars the idea that he could try to fight off these corruption charges from the bully pulpit of the prime minister's office in terms of public opinion and also the leverage that it could potentially give him in terms of trying to influence proceedings politically or at least give him a better option of a plea deal potentially even the prospects of some kind of presidential pardon these things are all much more attainable for him from the prime minister's office

that if he's just any regular joe the other option open to him as it would be to any member of the knesset is to seek parliamentary immunity and get a vote through the knesset to secure that immunity from prosecution but that requires a committee to hear that have application and a functioning government for that committee to exist of course we haven't had a functioning government we've only had a caretaker administration in this country since december last year thank you. the indian parliament has approved a controversial bill that will grant citizenship to minorities who face religious persecution in pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan opposition politicians and 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 in the northeastern assam state. reports now from new delhi i. chanted slogans around a bonfire and called for overdrawing of the citizenship. this happened as india's house debated and passed the controversial legislation it says that religious minorities including hindus sikhs christians and buddies who migrated to india because of persecution from afghanistan pakistan and bangladesh would be granted citizenship these protesters in the state of assam see their struggle is against inclusion of migrants irrespective of their religion because they want to preserve their indigenous culture and like to hold until and unless you are live in both you turn every one of our own large values in often if you will and again we condemn this being. leased by a tear gas to contain the crowd while

a column of assam rifles a paramilitary force that 70 soldiers was and stand by the state to such columns were on standby and to put up another state in the northeast where there's been protests against the bill for similar reasons india's lower house has already passed the being. the indian government says this legislation is meant to protect religiously persecuted minorities from neighboring countries but many are asking why it's. during a debate in parliament opposition parties spoke about the fear gripping india's muslim community which is also the country's largest minority. 7 students and an indonesian protested against the legislation and described it as discriminate 3. 100 citizens would be guarded under the citizenship law muslims would have no protection. it does to me put down that. it is

a question of giving citizenship to people who have come because of religious porch are the minorities or any mussolini's need not worry i want to say it is clearly nobody needs to worry or anyone frightens you or scares you don't get scared because number government is moving with the spirit of the constitution so minorities will go for protection look was. many political analysts say the legislation could have a lasting impact on the social fabric of india. al-jazeera. has dismissed that her country's armed forces committed genocide against muslims as quote miss leading miss which the mass exodus of rainbow was the unfortunate result of a battle with armed fighters the case relates to me and mass military crackdown against the muslim minority in 2017 when he reports from the hague. as a state councillor and head of government arrived at the international court of justice she was welcomed by supporters chanting we stand with you.

camp in the world one of these tents have a family a person who has the most horrendous stories of what happened to them so whether 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 that. 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 that 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 in itself dozens of rango muslims have appeared in court on charges of travelling illegally after they were arrested persecution the rights group $45.00 rights released a video allegedly showing the group of 93 people including 23 children crammed into overcrowded cells as they await trial the defendants face 2 years in prison. still to come in the next few minutes 10 months after protests began algeria prepares for a presidential election but critics say it's a sure art plus the real danger is one politicians and see making it look like real

has approved a controversial bill that will grant citizenship to non muslim minorities facing religious persecution in pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan curfews have been imposed in parts of the country to stop protests against the bill. and me and mass leader and son suchi has defended our country against allegations of genocide at the international court of justice mr cheek called the accusations which relate to a military campaign against ringle muslims as misleading and incomplete. it's been the last day of campaigning in the u.k.'s general election party leaders have been touring the country trying to secure last minute support from undecided voters before the polls open on thursday morning the prime minister boris johnson called the election to try to secure a parliamentary majority for his conservative party so he can push ahead with bricks it but as polling day approaches tomorrow the race is getting tighter neve

barker is in london. after touring the country boris johnson was back in the capital to deliver his final campaign message the conservative policies lead in opinion polls has narrowed ahead of the vote anything less than a majority could be disastrous for the conservatives and johnson's hopes of delivering bricks it on the proposed you 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. the labor leader jeremy corbin was also back in london labor may be lagging in the opinion polls but coleman is optimistic of a last minute surge and support raise the sights and hopes that people work with people as they develop and improve their communities work with people under a labor government that's trying to develop all those things that we're so proud of

in our manifesto. which has been a grueling campaign laden with photo opportunity johnson was up before dawn delivering milk echoing his promise to deliver bricks it here another stop another useful metaphor this time a pipe factory in darvish a reminder that johnson's breaks it plans come ready to serve. as a message not everyone can stomach corbin's last day of campaigning also began before sunrise in the scottish city of glasgow before winding his way down the country through marginal constituencies johnson and corbin have been targeting traditionally labor seats in northern england where large numbers of people voted to leave the e.u. but in an 11th hour intervention 15 former labor m.p.'s launched this advertising campaign in several regional newspapers urging voters to reject jeremy corbin accusing him of failing to tackle anti semitism in the labor party corbin says the party rejects all forms of racism and in south west london the liberal democrat.

concentrated efforts on targeting conservative seats we should voted to remain in the e.u. in the 26th referendum. and build a brighter future. on the eve of election day the normally illuminated houses of parliament are mostly dark and shrouded in scaffolding another metaphor perhaps of a political system desperately in need of repair there has been a bitterly fought election campaign a battle over breaks in the future of britain's public services including its esteems national health service when polling stations open on thursday morning it will be an obvious and stark choice for others though disillusioned by years of political uncertainty it will be a much tougher decision. westminster. well the final opinion polls have been coming out before the vote on thursday but it's still not clear whether the governing conservative party will win

a majority or whether it could be a hung parliament one of the latest polls is from 7 to commerce which gives the conservatives a 5 point lead labor up 3 points for the liberal democrats are predicted to get 12 percent of the vote joining us here in the studio chris hopkins the head of politics at 7 to commerce the company that conducted the poll what is the poll tell us and so i think across all firms all polling firms what we have seen throughout the campaign is a narrowing of the labor lead of the we're showing the narrowest labor lead of all the final polls and i think that what that is likely to mean is it could still give the conservative party a majority albeit probably cost small one but it might be enough for boris johnson to get his back to deal through basically we need to acknowledge that you know that doesn't need to be much of a change in the vote share that we're looking at for there to be the potential for a hung parliament did your digital polling is it possible to translate your polling into numbers in the house clean needs to hit 330 just to be able to railroad the

whole thing through yeah absolutely so it's not something that we tend to do but academics will take our numbers and put them into their own state models where we tend to favor electoral calculus and we think that if we're if you plan on numbers in modern boxes model we will be looking at roughly about 6 seat majority for boris johnson whether that's enough for him to get his deal through remains to be seen because obviously you know what he's what he's trying to do with this election one of the reasons why why he's done it is because he can try to change the electoral arithmetic of who is within the conservative party these new conservative m.p.'s might well be reliant on him for that for winning message so that he may be able to persuade them to vote his bill through and that we're going to have less fewer rebels than perhaps you had a few months ago do we have a sense of how the voters are maybe my. great seeing around or not given where they are in the u.k. because there's an awful lot of talk of tactical voting there's an awful lot of

talk of lending and other party votes just this one time yeah so i think if we were to look specifically at regions i think you'd struggle to pick anything up ultimately is something that we said at the start of this campaign is that in theory there are 650 unique races here and of the we've seen the remaining alliance within the parties down the side in many seats so really it's very difficult in this election more than any to take a national vote share picture which is what samantha commerce had produced today and find out we're really what the what is going to happen overall in terms of number of states i think like to say i think that there is every chance that. a majority but we have to acknowledge the fact that there is that a real plausible chance of a hung parliament here asking over the entire campaign chris what is your polling tell you about what the country thinks of the 4 main party leaders i mean even just today i mean one remembers you know nigel farage in a pub in edinburgh ken livingston former mayor of london he famously hid in

a disabled toilet boris johnson hiding in a fridge i mean what was the conversation between him and his p.r. people after they got him out the fridge i think i think birth has had an interesting campaign i don't think that he has been the savior of the conservative party that perhaps people thought he might i think when we were doing polling around the conservative leadership campaign it seemed to be ahead of all of the other candidates the boris johnson was going to be the person to win back the votes that they'd lost so the party now in the end in theory he has done that only really because the brits the party haven't campaigned in this election and they're not standing in the seats where they're likely to do most well i.e. conservative held ones which voted for $112016.00 so yes he's kind of done what he set out to do but realistically he might not be down to him and i think that's what originally the plan was it was going to be all about boris johnson i think he's also run a very safe campaign very different to what tories made. 2017 tourism i had quite a bold manifesto and he didn't really resonate very well with voters in particular her policies but what ended up being her own doing worries for boris is

a very safe manifesto it's all been about getting back that done you know he manages to twist almost any interview into back on the breaks if it's about islamophobia or anti semitism he always brings it back to brags that his manifesto wasn't particularly radical there wasn't a lot to it so conservative that have tried to run a really safe campaign and actually throughout the campaign we have found he's got less and less popular having said that he is still considerably more popular than jeremy corbin joyce wins and not a fraud ok chris for the moment thanks very much and just to know if your diary to morrow night at 10 pm london time will be here with rolling live special u.k. election coverage chris will be one of several guests keeping us company through the hours we are expecting the initial exit polls results to drop immediately at 10 pm local as soon as the polls close so we'll get figures bullet point figures straightaway and then that of course there will then be that long long trickled in

so we'll manage to actually find out within probably a few hours if people like chris could be trusted with his opinion polls or not of course you can be chris as to whether the predictions are right and we are hoping within a few hours to be able to tell you whether boris johnson has been returned as prime minister or indeed if it's going to go down to the other possible permutation that people have been talking about which is some sort of alliance between a labor government led by germany corbin getting into political bed to coin a phrase from the list with the s. and p. up in edinburgh we move on the us president donald trump has signed an executive order making judaism officially a nationality as well as a religion let's talk to alan fischer our correspondent in washington allan what does it mean. well i didn't actually make it a religion what he's done is expanded the 1964 civil rights act though it made sure that universities and colleges in the united states could not discriminate against anyone on the grounds of race country of origin or color he's now extended that to

say that this will also include religion though the critics say this is essentially doing what you suggest it is making judaism and nationality suggesting the everyone who is jewish comes from one point of origin in the middle east obviously we know where the religion as broad and as popular as judaism that is simply not the case now this means that it could cause a problem for the b.d.s. movement you'll remember that the b.d.s. movement talks about boycott diversification particularly against the israeli government because of its policy with the palestinians that's a movement that is growing on campuses across the united states over the last few years as some people say that jewish students have felt intimidated by that so they want a safe space this will mean that any college that helps provide that support to b.d.s. student groups or not could well find their federal funding being cut so it is

a fairly complicated issue what others are saying though is that this is an attack on free speech that b.d.s. has always been about politics attacking the israeli government rather than attacking the religion of judaism itself and so this is an infringement on their rights to say what they feel it is an infringement of the 1st amendment in the united states just one thing to point out this sort of thing has been talked about in congress and even went through a number of processes in congress but it couldn't just quite go over the line that was stalled mainly because of the concerns over freedom of speech this time the president has decided he is going to make an executive order so he has changed the game as far as this concerned. but executive orders only last this long as a president is in office if the next president wants to change it he can absolutely do that alan thank you. protestors of class with the police in algeria a day before the 1st elections since mass protests began in february demonstrators
