israel's former prime minister benjamin netanyahu has voted in the 5th election in on the 4 years he's hoping to make a comeback. ah, hello, i'm money in sight. this is al jazeera live from don't oh, so coming up. i'm hush him a bottle in denmark with voters gospel about it in an election dominated by wising inflation, climate change anxiety of the future of the country as well. prostate an apology from south korea's interior minister off to a stampede that killed more than a $150.00 people. please submit the response was inadequate. and a not so magical experience. the guests asked a disdain. resorts in shanghai find out why they were trapped inside. ah.
2:02 pm
hello and welcome. we begin the program with election day in israel versus happened heading to the ballot box for record 5th time in less than 4 years. now i'm, let's say the biggest issue is whether vote is off for or against all my prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who is facing corruption charges. he'll need to break a longstanding deadlock in the connecticut and take $61.00 seats to regain power. now to get them his liquid posse is turning to the far right is expected to seek a coalition with anti palestinian, ultra nationalist politicians like ben govea who have gained momentum in recent months. stuffy deka is in west jerusalem with more of the vote. you could only say that this is perhaps the final litmus test when it comes to benjamin netanyahu. it's the 1st elections in 12 or 13 years where he isn't the prime minister. so, you know, has absence made the israeli heart grow fonder with his absence in the prime
2:03 pm
minister's chair. but i think also what is interesting this time around is that if you are la p, this is the car. take our prime minister at the moment, managers to simply hold on to power in the sensitive nature now doesn't get 61 seats that he will continue in that role until new elections once again early next year. so we're talking at a 6 election because of the deadlock, if you will, when it comes to the political scene here. so we're gonna have to wait and see. interestingly, israeli need to report to the as of 10 am this morning. that is 3 hours off to the polls opened. that turned outstanding a just under 16 percent. was that an all time har since 1981? so the question is, are people either coming out to vote early because it is a national holiday and then to enjoy their day? or is there a sense that these elections are actually important to why is that also? because if netanyahu does come to power, you will have a very, very right wing government with a very controversial member who could take
2:04 pm
a senior post in government. you know, he's someone who's been advocating for the expulsion of palestinians from the annexation of the west bank to quoting for the right of jewish prayer on their luck the most compound. so a lot of israeli commentators also saying that this is a threat against is really democracy. so just gives you a sense of the complexities and what is at stake in these elections. well, israel began this cycle of elections in 2019, under the shadow of a corruption investigation into benjamin netanyahu. bases went to polls twice. not yet, but a stable government did not emerge after fed election. deadlock in 2020 messen yahoo! on his centrists rival, bunny ganz agreed to form a so called emergency unit government to deal with the panoramic. but the deal fulton, and a 4th vote was held in 2021. he was lead of the opposition out the time he assembled a fragile coalition which then fell apart in less than a year. once results from this voter in more collision talks are likely to resume,
2:05 pm
but if a deal can't be reached in the 120 c connects, it's, israelis will then head back to the polls for 6 election. that's beat out is there a senior political analyst while on bizarre, joins is on the sky from london. how do you rate benjamin netanyahu? chances? well certainly has apparently better chance than his detractors in this white coalition. what i call nothing. yeah. he's not on the hours because most of those who are running against them on one to for my coalition against him. i've worked for him either as hedge or his office chiefs of his staff or ministers and his governments. and i'm talking about the 5 main characters that are running today and the other parties that are hoping once again to form a coalition against it seems like he needs 2 to 3 seats to make sure he does have
2:06 pm
dorothy while they need 425 seats in order to ensure a majority of short, so for the time being and of course all things being equal, he might, he does have one or 2 percent chance higher than they do. but that also depends, as you've been speaking much of the morning, about the percentage of participation and about the participation among the other parties as well. because if the arabs parties get on the 8 seats rather than 12, i think we're going to see a good number of those last 3 or 4. maybe perhaps going to the right or to the far right. i much. well, let's talk in more detail about the role of arabic parties, arabic, israeli, palestinian parties in this election. i mean, to what extent can they influence the election you know, for those of us who've been following this, we know that back in 2020,
2:07 pm
they got something like 15 seats, which is more representative, depth percentage and metric. while they make up something like 80 to 20 percent of the population, they make up 60 percent of doctors and there's about 1100000 of them. but i'd like to vote unfortunately in terms of their 100 percent parliament, a lot of them are less percentage of them done among the jews in israel and go to vote because they think those who do not vote for 55 percent. the last elections who said that, you know, a few times exercise in the end of the day that my going to get much that whether it is a correlation led by age or a coalition lead by nathan. yeah. how it's what you say here in london, tomato. okay. good to see my wanted to show out there a senior political analyst speaking to a staff from london. well people and,
2:08 pm
and mancha also picking a new parliament 14 policies vowing for a 117 on seats. a political battle is between the incumbent left wing block and right wing candidates, the prime minister metaphysics, and was forced to cool the early election off the so called mnc scandal, and popularity dropped off to the coven 19 policy to coal. the entire mnc population. well, free dixon is one of the front runners. she has been prime minister since 2019. she is sent to left but has embraced tightening. immigration policies. further to the rise is jacob element, jensen. he is the head of the liberal policy. he's the 3rd generation off his family to enter danish politics. and as the conservative policy lead a sovereign pe paulson, whose long been considered the most credible politician on the right, though his credibility has shortly fallen off to a recent scandal. and finally,
2:09 pm
there is a former prime minister laws, local rasmussen, he served as p. m twice on is the head of the newly formed moderates that speak to hashem hubbard, who joins his live now from copenhagen. one of the issues dominating this election nation money. this is an election dominated by economy and the shifting geopolitical landscape around denmark. it's mostly about the need to fix the rising and flip inflation or the rising cost of living climate change, which has become over the last 2048 hours, a big issue for the danish voters and is likely to shape the outcome of the election and immigration has been on the back burner this election, although it has been one of the most divisive issues in the modern history of their mach. let me just give you a sense of what is happening of this main putting station the capital. copenhagen
2:10 pm
is 7 minutes past mid day local time and as we speak, 2020 percent of the voters have cast their vote and we're still 8 hours before putting stations close. this is perhaps the tightest space in the modern history of denmark for different reasons. because since the ninety's governments in denmark what either led by the vinstra, by 40 or by the left social democrats, this time it could be different. we could see some profound changes in the political landscape for different reasons. mainly because the new party, which is the moderates, a centrist party, formed by the former prime minister. last look, rasmussen has managed to reinvent himself many times by grabbing those from the white and from the left, presenting himself as perhaps the best alternative to the social democrats. he is
2:11 pm
projected to become the 3rd largest political body of the social democrats and vinstra. if he does so, he is likely to go to the prime minister metaphysics and say, if you want me to join the coalition and have to have a bigger se in the government by, we have to wait and see what the fog wife is going to do. the projected also to make some gains, but it is the social social is people party the s b p a left grew a green party which is likely also to mix of gains. the s b p has been campaigning for a swift transition into clean energy and for many danes. this is exactly what the country is supposed to be doing, and they might get more votes. she's an extraordinary moment, but to night when we get a sense of who's going to win the elections, it does not necessarily mean that we're going to have a government in the upcoming days. it could take weeks or more of a or months like happened in sweden because of the very complex political landscape in a,
2:12 pm

2:13 pm
does have to improve. it's a crowd management's, it's large street carnival events like this that for all of its sophistication and advance is that it is made south korea is still lacking in that, in the way of controlling these large crowds when they come to the actual cause. because there is now an extensive investigation underway into all of the various things that lead up to this tragedy. and the search of people forward at the prime minister says that no one single thing that contributed to it. there are multiple factors that will be looked at, but he's also promised that they will be looking at the individual responses of different institutions, bodies, government agencies, including he says, at the police. now the police have come in for a lot of criticism in this, in the number of offices that they had at the scene, given the 10s of thousands of people who were out and who had expected to come out for this hollow in festival. and also the response when they started to get
2:14 pm
emergency calls to it. the police chief of south korea has come in for particular criticism. he had a grilling. got a press briefing earlier tuesday. he had said that yes, the response was inadequate. there wasn't a proper risk assessment of the old of the risks ahead of time. still ahead on al jazeera where live in belfast for look at how a political deadlock is starting to affect the lives of ordinary people. preparations underway across cats, off the golf nation, gets ready to welcome more than a wet 1000000 wealth cap. ah, anticipation is rising. and so was the atmosphere. are you ready for the wet spots of buying cattle? a ways? right. the seasons changing and east asia, we still got typhoons around this one here is losing its strengths. it's producing

2:17 pm
i'll do is select bono today. ah ah, you're watching al jazeera mind about top stories as our israel is holding its 5th election in less than 4 years. i'm gonna say the biggest issue is whether vote is awful or accounts formally benjamin netanyahu. the spacing corruption charges. people in denmark are picking a new parliament, 14 parties of buying for a 179 seats. the political battle is between the incumbent left wing block and
2:18 pm
right wing candidates. south korea's interior minister apologize for saturdays stampede. the cube at least a 156 people. and he submit the response was inadequate president units. so q has cold for most safety measures. all than on ins, told politicians a set to meet for a new round of talks on tuesday to and that political deadlock, the regions executive has not functions since an election in may elected assembly has not been sitting due to a boy called by the biggest pro british unionist party d u p. i was pull bread and reports that is starting to have an impact on the lives of the public. 16 can sometimes appear remote, irrelevant even to the daily lives of ordinary citizens, but not in northern ireland. political differences here are deeply felt and the lack of a functioning government is having an impact in all parts of the public sector.
2:19 pm
transport rhodes, justice, environment, and health. all of them left treading water. but in reality, the thinking the political stalemate has blocked progress on important health care reform, waiting lists for treatment a long and growing and excess mortality figures are increasing. people are literally dying for a lack of political leadership. what has happened as a result of that? it's, we haven't had a budget and to haven't been able to plan to anything that has been done at the moment is done in the old way. a new ability whatsoever to plan them to think the future. so it is purely firefighting at the moment with the service under so much pressure and more pressure than we've ever seen that under health care workers here in northern ireland have been promised a 4.5 percent pay rise. but unlike workers in england, scotland wales who've already received their pay right here without to devolve government and nobody has signed it off the yet to actually receive it. it's
2:20 pm
a similar picture in northern islands education system. teachers are currently taking industrial action over 30 percent erosion and pay. schools are struggling to meet repairs and maintenance costs. children's education is suffering while northern islands, political leaders dig their heels in. we are at a point now when the vast majority of our schools at every sector are in huge financial deficits. in fact, before covered the standing figure for education was one and a half 1000000000 plains. for the small place that is a lot of money. the urgent talks between the main political parties and the british government hold little prospect of a breakthrough. just 6 months after the last election. few believes that calling another one will make any difference. the politicians stick rigidly to that principle, but those principles have a practical reality. that means ordinary people are left worse and worse off. pull brennan, al jazeera belfast, russian missile strikes have destroyed half an apartment building in the ukrainian

there have been 2 political changes. the arab world has long been divided, but the decision by some countries to sign the so called abraham accords and normalize relations with as well, shifted dynamics. if you considered a post, i was always really at the heart of the arab league and what it start stood for this new alignment of states with israel potentially against palestine. is something that is certainly transformational. the other issue has been obviously the ukraine war as of late, which had a massive impact on obviously energy markets on supply chains. the impact is being felt by the lower income countries where societies are struggling with rising food and energy prices. the ukranian war has also had an impact on the politicians calculations. the desire not to be drawn into the conflict between russia and the west. does seem to be something that all countries in the region share. so they are
