a shooting spree in colorado more fallout for astra zeneca a u.s. regulator says data from a trial showing the effectiveness of the vaccine may be outdated and incomplete. and at least 15 people are killed in a fire at a routine go refugio camp in bangladesh the u.n. says the damage is massive and devastating the. polls have closed in israel's force election in 2 years with no clear winner in sight the prime minister benjamin netanyahu was hoping to capitalize on israel's successful coronavirus vaccination campaign to try to end the country's political gridlock but the initial exit polls suggest his likud party has won between 31 and 33 seats leaving him needing to broker a series of deals to reach the 61 seats required for

a majority we're going to be hearing more from the tasha good name in a moment she's in tel aviv in the center left party headquarters the home of the main challenger pede 1st though let's go to harris force at outside benjamin a snail's likud party headquarters in west jerusalem as so harry what do these exit polls mean for benjamin is for now and the likud party. stories. here are concerned and indeed one of his allies defeated mary jerusalem. speaking to a couple minute. to go there is confidence being expressed here that benjamin netanyahu has just snuck across the line and that is because the exit polls which we have to carry out with the fact that they have been wrong in the past and they have moved and as well as that the electoral commission is saying that it may take longer than usual to count the votes this time around but for all those caveats at

the moment it's projected that netanyahu and his allies in the rights and. in another party the party of natalee bennett who had said that he wanted to replace netanyahu but was open to working with him if you group all of those parties together you get the magic number 61 out of the 120 seats in israeli knesset and that is what is required for a coalition government so at the moment at least there is conference being expressed that this 4th alexion may have got benjamin netanyahu the result that he's been seeking for so long it's an important elements of how that all played out though one of them is the fact that there has been a much lower turnout than last time the lowest for several years since 2009 it's believed particularly in the palestinian israeli sector of the votes where it seems the vote was especially depressed and only 8 members of the joint list arab

parties will be in the israeli knesset as opposed to 50 and also the fact that netanyahu will be relying on potentially 6 or 7 seats from the religious scientists and movement which features one man who has spent the recent days talking about his dislike of l.g.b. tea culture and another who talks about expelling arabs who seem to be disloyal from the country altogether so that there are critics in the center and on the left saying that a government of that kind of character is not what israel should be seated. with the latest there from the party headquarters harry thank you let's go to natasha going to name who's a cue. that of course is the party that i guess was the main opponent to initial now if we see some cautious optimism from the likud headquarters what's the

atmosphere where you are and what now for literally hours main challengers. but we're waiting to see if the leader you're looking at will come out and speak we're told that may very well happen we spoke to. spokesman a short time ago and he was simply not willing to even answer the question directly when i asked how the party was feeling as exit polls showed that they would likely be the 2nd largest vote getters behind the likud party all they would say is that we are closely watching the results as they come in and the pivoted to the main message of this campaign and which is that. this was a referendum on this in yahoo and that netanyahu needed to go. that netanyahu and he wasn't the only one to make this claim it was putting his self-interest of those

of the country he criticized netanyahu for his belief that he mishandled the. pandemic and said that they didn't shut down the country quickly enough resulting in more than 6000 people dying and a lot of people being unemployed about a 1000000 people so be very interesting to see what happens next again probably the spokesman is reluctant to speak because as predicted by polls pollsters and analysts coming into this election it was definitely felt that it would be a difficult path forward for p. to be able to form a government and that looks to be the case again if these exit polls and holding it would definitely involve some pretty strategic maneuvering that might mean forming a coalition with various disparate parts of the electorate but maybe even some on the right but again it's not predicted that that will be feasible again this is

based on exit polls but i do think that the party will definitely feel. comparable the fact that they had a decent showing again not as much as the a coup party it's looking like about 800 seats for yes a t.d. compared to. 30 to 33 for le crude but nonetheless by and far 2nd compared to the other party. attach a good name with the latest there from the yesha t. the headquarters in tel aviv natasha thank you and now let's go to our senior political analyst marwan bashar to just kind of give us the overview so what do you make of these results i mean you know for elections in 2 years but still netter now does seem to have a very firm grip on israeli politics. well barbara we can say that the 2 most dramatic results from these elections are the

following one the self inflicting suicide if you will of the palestinians in israel they at bentley have shrunk from 15 seats to perhaps 8 seats vest that means they've been have to. basically with one of the parties not even passing a threshold so that kind of citizen is because of their divisions because of their forty's. and because of their almost 50 percent show in this elections they basically are showing a very very poor results very dramatic on the other hand we were seeing that the right the far right and the extreme fire right basically sweeping this israeli parliament with netanyahu being the deal maker with with the biggest block if you

will among. the right wing parties and that i'd wing parties in israel today clearly are 2 of 2 kinds the national radicals and the religious zionist radicals and it's not exactly the same no it is a quite divided and that the neo would have a choice to make a coalition government with secular snatch and honest or with the religious nationalist and few secular nationalists and my sense is that he will go with the religious and the radical nationalist which means that he would be forming one of the most radical governments in the history of israel and which also means that he might still go ahead with an extinct of course illegally major parts of the occupied palestine and that would send the conflict into. to a major dramatic schoolish jamar one obviously that was going to be my next

question would it impact this is going to have on the occupied west bank as it was you partially answered that but i'm wondering if it does turn out that the government that message now forms is is what you described how's it going to go down in washington d.c. when we know that joe biden doesn't perhaps have the same affinity with with metal now than his predecessor did. absolutely there's no love lost specially nowadays between by then and nothing now oh we're no the dawn of that tension between 20092016 between the biden obama administration and then a 10 year old government i think this continues today. but i don't think by then has the time or patience. or the energy to go

after prime minister the now what i'm afraid of is that it's not then you know there's going to be a. flaming the tensions or the washington on 2 fronts one as i just mentioned earlier that he will be going against the wishes of washington that would like to see diploma city 5 in order to achieve a 2 state solution because of the now wants to go with the illegal and ex ation unilateral an extension of medicine at that is which basically ends the 2 state solution and to do nothing else coursed an adamant against the iran nuclear deal which by then has short interest to go back to or into so on on a number of fronts are going to be tensions between washington and. tel aviv but i don't think it's gong to be biden that's going to be flaming.

the tension it's probably will be that the now i'm not exactly sure how that will go down it will also depend on the strength of the netanyahu correlation in the weeks and months to come it ought also depend barbara on how the palestinian respond to any potential an exception because really that if the palestinians don't move against such aggression by israel washington is not going to do anything either. model one bashar a senior political analyst model one thank you. go to the u.s. now with president joe biden has responded to a mass shooting in the state of colorado with a call to action for greater gun control 10 people were killed in the attack including a police officer inside a grocery store in the city of boulder classical hain has 4 jenny strong 20

years old. nevin student ski 23 another police press conference rikki 25 another long list of innocent victims officer eric talley 5110 dead including police officer eric talley it's heartbreaking to talk to victims. their families. you know it's tragic. this officer had 7 children. ages 5. officers and citizens pay tribute as his body was taken to the moore investigators say they still don't know what motivated the alleged shooter who was shot in the leg during the gun fight this suspect has been identified as a model alyssa 21 of arvada has been charged with 10 counts of murder in the 1st degree this happened in the middle of the afternoon in one of the few places people

still frequent amid the covert pandemic we were at work out. and caught her going on. the record for the pretty good record when i knew for sure it would start and i. did not get 10 dead here just last week 8 gunned down in georgia likely moving the debate about gun control back into the headlines we can ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines in this country once again. i got that done when i was a senator it passed it was law for the longest time and it brought down these mass killings we should do it again but let me simply say this this cannot be our new normal. we should be able to feel safe in our grocery stores but once again it seems this is the new normal in america.
