to judge told his supporters that he no longer sora chance of winning the 1st and only gay candid it narr of the defeated bernie sanders in the iowa caucuses and finished just strong 2nd in new hampshire but he struggled in states with large minority populations his announcement comes just 2 days before super tuesday when 14 states vote to choose a democratic challenger to donald trump. this strange reason we got into this race in order to defeat the current president and in order to usher in a new kind of pot and so we must recognize that at this point in the race the best way to keep pace with those goals and ideals is to step aside and help bring our party and our country together so tonight i making the difficult decision to suspend my campaign for the present and voting is underway in israel in the 3rd general election in less than a year israeli politics remains as fractured as in the previous 2 elections when no

party was able to form a government iran can reports from west jerusalem. driving through tel aviv the election campaign is in full swing for the 3rd time within a year in the 2 previous general elections in a poll in september no party was able to form a government israelis are hoping that will change it this time it's important that they have their young son and i want him to know that we're still fighting for the future of this country. and everybody should have told hate is quite frustrating. let. me see. it looks like it's all to be the same because it's our duty as a state to fan and i hope now it will be different these 2 political leaders again center stage prime minister benjamin netanyahu of the likud party and his biggest

rival benny gantz leader of the blue and white party neither managed a majority in last year's elections. so making deals with smaller parties is essential for me government netanyahu has other problems indicted in 3 separate corruption cases court cases his rivals say make him unfit to be prime minister there was true islam and across as there is a fair that this election will be inconclusive and israel will head to the polls for a full 3rd spoil a many are now asking the question whether it needs to be political electoral reform there's no doubt that when a political crisis a political deadlock something that is unprecedented and that our electoral system needs a significant reform in order to ensure that our election system campaigns have a decisive outcome the israelis have had a caretaker government since april and voters hope that this election proves to be

decisive. all right let's go live now to enron in west jerusalem and a man as you've pointed out time in less than a yeah all the polls predicting that they'll be any different to the result well there's so much math going on there's so much coalition building that has to happen for any one party in the only really 2 parties if that have a chance of getting power netanyahu likud party and benny gantz is blue and white party so they have to make deals with smaller policies but over the last few days i have been speaking to lots of israelis. didn't ask the question to them are they 1st rated with the entire political process on the overwhelming or marty has been yes we we wish there had been a deal we wish we weren't going to come to a 3rd election but here we are we have to come out and vote and i have to say it's very early in the morning the polls only opened about 1520 minutes ago and there's already

a steady stream of people coming into this station in west jerusalem so it looks like people do want to come out and vote whether it will be a higher turnout than the elections in april also remains to be saying obviously but a lot of people now are taking a look at the campaigns the well actually fought by those 2 main parties the could . and they're criticizing the good for taking an almost baxi approach saying that being very confident they are going to be able to win this election and others are saying that benny gantz is white party didn't get out the vote enough it wasn't simply in that combative kind of mode to get people to go and vote for them so the polls are now open we expect them to close off tonight and we'll see a result. we expect to see the results coming in very late in to choose day so now it's all about the math it's let's see how many seats people get and then what kind of coalitions can be built. give you give you voice arrest him

around because we'll be talking to a lot throughout the day thank you very much indeed. lots more to come here at including we get rare access to me in state where the denies genocide against a range it took place. the president takes office in europe guy promising a change of direction after 15 years have left this room. and there she will scottish like you cross turkey as if for the next 24 hours that way the bulk of that rain is on its way towards the east so that means pushing through northern iraq and on into the north and the west of iran of course because he said snow flurries here as well. for that system as it works its way across the caspian sea just 8 celsius in tire and 21 in baghdad and then heading further to

members are there and they do stay in touch periodically over the phone some time using local and sometimes me on mars same now while we were there they were making phone calls one family and we overheard everything this person was saying one of the relatives on the other side and western right kind now most of the report and what they're saying we are getting is the situation is unstable one of the new dynamics that is in the making over there is that increasingly rohingya population has been caught in the middle of fighting between that but this our country rebel army and me and my military i mean just yesterday 5 people were killed on january beginning at least 5 children and blown in an explosion in the end of january at least 2 women were killed and most of the cases that me and my army denies that but usually it's their artillery shells or some sort of attack and they also blame the rohingya for giving shelter to this rebel groups and they've. denied that they

harassed them they said that you are the one who is providing shelter and support will burn your houses there's been a cases where just within last week at least 20 shops where byron in a situation like that on top of that very they have a very few access to healthcare facilities education that movements are highly restricted they can move around sometimes there's checkpoints everywhere they're forced to take n.b.c. some of them which is a national very fickle which says that basically foreign or bengali muslim so these are things they're constantly hearing as well as from reports we do and other international media do. they do have access to radios and other communication so that their thing is that we will only go back if there is international protection and again to your citizenship only if the situation is conducive there has been to attempt all ready nobody volunteered to go back that don't want to go back but under certain precondition as i say you know those are mad and there is a security guarantee they are willing to go back to the child live in cox's bizarre
