forever, proxy war mean for america and nato, as long as americans keep consuming prices are gonna keep going up. why didn't joe biden see inflation comic? how did we get so much raw? the quizzical look. good us politics. the bottom line. the latest news, as it breaks with pandemic restrictions being lifted for the 1st time. the streets were billed with tens of thousands of parts together with d. 2 coverage all cents a month. here we want to share disillusion, much with the politicians in general from around the world. everywhere you look, their young man carrying machine and that example of how this school recruit their soldiers. ah, this is al jazeera
4:01 pm
ah hello, i'm all about this, and this is the news, or live from doha, coming up the next 60 minutes. israel's former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is voted in the 5th election and under 4 years is hoping to make a comeback. i'm hush him, i'll bother in denmark where voters cast their ballots in an election dominated by wising inflation, climate change anxiety and the future of the company's welfare state. marching for their defeated candidate, supporters of brazilian president jagow sonata protest against his loss in sundays election. and we hear from a survival of the stampede in south korea that killed more than a 150 people. police admit the response was inadequate. i'm joanna roscoe, with the sports the woke up kicks off later this month in canton. a defending champion, france. suffer blow with star midfielder po papa ruled out because of injury.
4:02 pm
ah, well is this up to 1300 g m t. we're going to start in israel, where people have been voting for the 5th time in less than 4 years. early figures suggest there's been an increase in turned out with numbers not seen in 40 years. analysts say the biggest issue is whether people are. busy for or against former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is facing corruption charges. he's going to need to break a long standing deadlock in the can asset and take 61 seats to regain power. to get them is liquid parties turning to the fall, right? it's expected to seek a coalition with anti palestinian ultra nationalist politicians like ease him out of band via who've gained momentum in recent months. or banners smith joining me now from west jerusalem. it seems as though turn out is going to be a crucial part of the selection. what do we know about the turn art so far?
4:03 pm
it is wrong so far turn out is about 28 percent of the highest. it's been in 23 years in israel. but turn out across the whole country, but we also now know that turn out just in palestinian israeli communities, he's only a 12 percent now it's been a fairly truncated campaign period because we have the series of holidays in the run up to the election. so i think that only really got going in the last couple of weeks. and the general view was that people were fairly apathetic because they've already had 4 election to go through. and this is the pick one in less than 4 years . but nevertheless, the outcome of this election could be really consequential for the future of israel . you have the support of benjamin netanyahu, who want him to win because a win for him and the right will. sure up they say the jewish nature of the state of israel. that is what the far right believes they want to do. they believe that
4:04 pm
having an hour party in the coalition that lasted just about a year with dangerous, but then dangerous for the jewish nature of israel, dangers to that security. the opponent of benjamin netanyahu say, well, if he wins, if you allow him to wait, if you guys seem to power, then that will chip away at the democracy in israel because the support is want to change the law that might allow him to stall or even and these fraud and corruption trials he's facing, they say to be much harder that to be ever any opportunity for arabs and jews to live peacefully in this country brought bernard, it seems much saying that the country is pretty clearly divided and where they stand on netanyahu but where was it that the parties are trying to get the votes? that's, that's just the challenge to be very hard pressed by. anyone a who's not made up my mind already about benjamin netanyahu there either for or against him. so what he has been doing out everybody else, every other politician vault him doing, he's trying to get out the vote. for example, netanyahu believes his support,
4:05 pm
believe me, between everything 2100002300000 supporters who didn't vote for him last time. and what matters in israel, the election system is the actual number of people who vote a more you vote, the more seat you get in parliament. our parties need to get out the vote because it's better cross the threshold, which is just over 3 percent share of the votes than any of the votes, a waste, and they don't. representation in parliament is reduced. that's why it's so important for all parties for them to get the people out of burner for now. thank you very much. indeed, bernard smith, talking to us from west to loosen are very small margins are expected to separate. israel's political factions in this election as bernard was just saying, that means palestinian is really, is our position to have a major impact on the outcome. but are nearly 2000000 palestinians with israeli citizenship. they've had the right to vote since the state was created in 1948, but historically, less than half of them turn out to vote that are 3 palestinian israeli parties
4:06 pm
running in this election. one of them made history in the aftermath of last year's vote. the ram party led by months what our boss was positioned as kingmaker and it became the 1st palestinian is really party to join and is really governing coalition. but the move was criticized by many in the palestinian israeli communities which suffer high crime rates. and poverty will either to mostly mine is palestinian is really member of these really parliament. and she's john is from echo in that northern israel man. very good to have you with us on al jazeera and benjamin m. bernard i was just telling us about the populate the, the turnout from palestinian is really voters at the moment being about 12 percent . how concerned are you that palestinian israelis will not take the opportunity to come out and vote in the selection while rob, but 1st of all, let me say that i'm so optimistic that is a turn out of the palestinian city is rather will become better in the afternoon,
4:07 pm
usually that's a turn out of the of the add up usually start after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but we are still concerned that worried of percentages. that's where, that's where each now it's almost have i said, and john brown, which leaves a huge gap between the 2 different constituencies. and that's put to all of the 3 parties that are running in this election representing the to rally in the danger zone. it means that we might not be able to reach the threshold spells, we are still working hopefully toward the end of the day. we will have a better turn out there have been criticisms for members of the palestinian community that even though there was representation within the can asset,
4:08 pm
nothing really changed for them. if the controller is very parliament changes in these elections, do you think that is going to make much difference for palestinians? well 1st of all, for made a good the new change that is just that and this election is going to get us into a more difficult situation. i'm a big country at ward fascism. natania i so eager to become the prime minister. but she is also bringing with them the fascists bank via which have worked very hard against the community. we are in an times that shows that very political crisis is the route. there is no political discord or attitude that is developed and the last
4:09 pm
a few years old. all, there are a parties or a camp that is working hard to avoid the net them, yahoo being the prime minister, but still they are not to bring me a new order. hold full suggestions for for us, the palestinians. our voting is more, i'm at the 1st of all a protest brought against the policy practice again. but the old so is vote being in order to ensure the situation and to make friendship on mainly those who are claiming that they are creating a change to create that change that we are looking for. next benjamin netanyahu and his coalition failed to get into power and it continued essentially things continue with the lap he'd in as a prime minister. how do you see that affecting the influence?
4:10 pm
first of all of the palestinian parties within the connected itself, but also relations with the palestinians themselves. will there be any difference, do you think? well it's up to us if that turn out of our voters became higher towards the end of the day. and we managed to really to be presented and hire a member of mandate that's automatically is going to close the door in front of met them, yell and make it impossible for him to gain the extra mandate he needs in order to compose that government. meaning we would be the one responsible who are responsible for getting him away from the government. on the other hand, a bead will not be will not have a majority majority without this time, la b has to show
4:11 pm
a not a not very clear way that he is accepting our conditions that we believe we bring to the politics and is run into a different level, which means also need to declare that is going to take the path of negotiations with the palestinians in order to stop the occupation. and he needs to cancel old ra, discriminatory rates of laws against us as citizens of it's around and go towards equality. without those to be clear ation, it will be another crisis, another election id to my name, and we appreciate you being with us. and i'll just get a mom and giving us the benefit of your opinions. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. given denmark are also picking a new parliament. the political battle is between the incumbent left wing block and
4:12 pm
right wing candidates. 14 parties, a vine for a $179.00 seats by a minister method frederickson was forced to call the early election after a so called minx scandal and popularity dropped after the covered 19 policy to call the entire mnc population. oh, frederickson is one of the front runners. she's been prime minister since 2019. she center left, but she has embraced tightening. immigration policies. further to the rights jak of elman jensen is the head of the liberal party. he's a 3rd generation of his family to enter danish politics. the conservative party leader is san papa paulson, who's long be considered the most credible politician on the right by his credibility as sharply fallen after a recent scandal. man, those former prime minister last locker rasmussen. he served twice as p. m, and he's the head of the newly formed moderates while let's speak to hush maha is joining us. we're pulling station in copenhagen. and this, it really seems as though it's turning into a very significant moment for denmark. a very
4:13 pm
significant moment. indeed rob, this is 10 minutes past 2 local time here in copenhagen, 6 hours before putting stations gross. and the big question is whether we're going to have the same political establishment prevailed since 2019, which is basically a left leaning co initial or whether we're going to see some surprises is the former prime minister. last look hospice and going to shape the future of the country or will the far white upper town of the table on the establishment. 14 political parties jostling full fo see, hoping to be able to move forward. saying that they have the keys to some of the problems that demo faces and to talk about more about the outcome of the election. i'm being joined by emitter. also. gosh, is the at the same chief of the bonus to one of the oldest newspapers in denmark. how significant is the selection? it's very significant. we have had a campaign where there has been
4:14 pm
a lot of break ups, especially in that more conservative part of the parliament. and it's made, i'm chaotic, an view on the political scene in denmark. so many voters have actually been in doubt on where to place their vote a we so polls just yesterday that about one 4th of their voters was still in doubt on who they should build for. for many years, almost 40 minutes is the 9 to his husband, all was dominated by far up by the left of the white afar. i left it in coalition versus a white linen coalition. is it going to be a replication of the same scenario, or are we likely to see something different? this time? we see a very, very close race, so it's going to be in sight men just at the end. we have all the votes, but what we can see is that we were at, we have a prime minister rich a to is the more right in leaning a parties and saying that she would like to form a government and with their participation. and if that is going to happen,
4:15 pm
we will have a whole new situation in denmark where will not have a government ment mainly on the left or the right side. but from the center of danish politics. and it's, yeah, i'm really looking forward to see if that co, late coalition is actually able to work together if they can actually make a progressive politics or we, if we will have the conditions we have had in belgium or sweden and other places where it's been very, very difficult. so actually former government that was able to do some changes. immigration has been on the back burner, particularly in this election, but it has been a divisive issue in the past. no matter how is the outcome, how do you see the country moving forward when it comes to the issue of immigration? well, it's been added topic that we have this. i discussed a widely in denmark for the last decade. not so much in this election because what happened had happened is that the parties has a very much the greed on what the politics should be in this matter. and it is
4:16 pm
a very struck strict immigration politics. and i think that we would see that going forward as well. matter of cigar. thank you very much. indeed, rob, quite an interesting moment here because we have to wait and see what happens. attend i 30 percent of the voters ha of casa vote. are many undecided voters of this explains why people, i think this is definitely going to be a tight race, but this is going to be definitely a moment to shape the future of a come to a come to the has been divided across ideological lives. this time there is a potential for the centers parties to take over. if they do were unlikely to see the country setting its own direction for the future. rob, talking to his wife from copenhagen, hoshal aha, borrow hush, him. thank you very much. indeed. the more i had on the news are including inspectors from the ions nuclear watchdog are in ukraine following allegations that keith is getting ready to use dirty bombings. we're going to tell you how political

4:18 pm
we were expecting both sonata supporters to protest, but these are truck drivers which have interrupted streets and $26.00 of $27.00 brazilian states. they are a minority of the leaders of the truck drivers association has already spoken against this. supreme court, federal court of justice has already filed an injunction telling them to free the highways immediately. but in the meantime, many vote many flights from the. 7 don't fall will airport of what orders were canceled because people that work for the airlines were unable to get to work. so this should be a situation that should clear up. we're expecting in the next 2 hours. hopefully, monica, obviously everybody's waiting to hear for to chat about scenario is going to say, because as i mentioned before, he has yet not conceded defeat to scenario alluded to. silva,
4:19 pm
do we have any indication at all what he may say when he eventually does speak? yes. so that's the $1000000.00 question on the front drivers themselves are waiting for a word from the president and his very loud silence has been making the situation very tense. so what we've heard from some of the ministers who have been with him is that he's expected to speak. he will go, you will make up a midway statement, conceding defeat, but also saying that he was a victim of the just judicial system in brazil, which was biased towards a president elect. a reason not to let us see was so he'll but we're not expecting him to say anything like, i'm not going to accept this saw defeat. let's go to the streets also because his

4:22 pm
extended free counseling services to not only those directly affected, but to the general public as well. the nation's mood is slowly shifting to one of anger. the police chief, his faced repeated questions about the forces preparation for and response to saturdays accident, apologized on tuesday shingle. they only will mean they were emergency calls about the danger and urgency of the situation. and that a large crowd had gathered before the exit. it occurred. however, we think the police response to the emergency calls was inadequate. the president has said south korean crowd control measures will need to be stepped up. an investigation is underway as to how the stampede occurred. slightly al jazeera, so in his prime ministers visited the site of a bridge collapse that killed more than a $140.00 people that under i'm already arrived in the town of more be in his home state of good land for the accident happened on sunday is mad,

top politicians are set to meet for a new round of talks from tuesday to end their political deadlock. the regions executive hasn't functions since and election and may elected assembly hasn't been sitting because of a boy called by the biggest pro british union as part of the d u p. as paul brandon reports that are starting to have an impact on the lives of the public wants ex, 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. transport rhodes, justice, environment and health. all of the 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
4:25 pm
a result of that? 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 and to, to think that the future soon is purely firefighting. at the moment with the service under so much pressure and more pressure than we've ever seen it under health care work has here in northern ireland has been promised a 4.5 percent pay rise. but unlike workers in england, scotland and wales who've already received that pay right here without to devolve government and nobody to signed it off the yet to actually receive it. it's 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 and huge
4:26 pm
financial deficits. in fact, before covered, the outstanding figure for education was one and a half 1000000000 pines 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 believe 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. 2 margaret boats have sunk of the coast of greece as they tried to navigate strong winds. the 1st one down near the island of india for rescuers and now trying to find 60 people and off the coast of thomas island. the 2nd boat sank with 12 people on board us border officials of shot at a group of venezuelan migrants with robert bullets from the countries southern border. it would seem protesting after being expelled to mexico

protesting on the road leading to its international airport. the man accused of attacking the husband of us house speaker nancy pelosi is expected in court. later on tuesday, if his charges of attempted murder, burglary, and assault prosecutors are seeking to hold david depart without bail. paul pelosi was beaten with a hammer inside the couple of san francisco home. on friday, the 82 year old is recovering from surgery. our white house correspondent, kimberly hawkins joining us now from the white house. i. kimberly more details coming out about the policy case. that's right. this is a case that has been really gripping the nation and polarizing the nation at the same time. so lot of interest in this 1st quarter parents, this is an appearance where. a it will really be the 1st public opportunity where there will be the chance to not only listen to these charges being read out, but to, for the public to at least get
4:32 pm
a look at the suspect as he is being charged with a whole host of crimes as you've outlined, he's already been charged at the state level and he has as of monday, been charged with federal crimes as well. now, this is also an opportunity for the public to hear more details of this case. and this is somewhat necessary, given the fact that there has been so much speculation particularly online. this will be an opportunity for not only the prosecution to lay out its case in some sort of detail in terms of the charges, but also to clarify some of the misinformation that has occurred along the way. what we do know is that according to documents, this was a vicious attack according to prosecutors that the intended recipient of the attack was not paul polosa, the speaker of how spirit nancy blows his husband. but in fact, nancy pelosi herself, who was seen as being the leader of the pack in the eyes of david pape. and he felt
4:33 pm
that he was fighting back against tyranny. we are expected not only to hear the charges but also that he is likely to be held without bail. it's clear kimberly that when the run up to the midterm elections, which are, which are just coming up just a few days away, visit, clearly division within the country. and this is just some example of, of part of there's no question about that. and the polls indicate that as well, and that's why we see the u. s. president campaigning rather intensely. he is set to leave the white house in the coming hours. he'll be heading down to florida for that last week of campaigning. it's a last minute push. if you will. 6 all across the country. in one weeks time the nation will be voting for the congressional mid term elections. and these are critical for the u. s. president and his democratic party, if he is to continue his legislative agenda right now,
4:34 pm
president biden's democratic party holds control of congress and both the lower house of representatives as well as the upper chamber in the u. s. senate. but the polls show that that may not be the case after next week. and so the u. s. president, trying very hard, what we know is he's going to go down to florida where republicans right now hold the lead in some of those polls. and he's going to make the case of contrasts if you will, saying that if republicans get control of congress, they will take away many of the social safety nets that americans count on, whether it's lowering drug costs or even some of the protections for old age in the united states when it comes to medicare and social security. so this is the message to the u. s. president will be delivering not only in florida, but he has to new mexico on thursday, california, friday, pennsylvania on saturdays that last minute push to try and control congress for another 2 years. as our white house correspondent, kimberly hall, good talking to us from the white house. kimberly, as always, thank you. inflation,
4:35 pm
abortion. i'm the police violence are some of the main issues. is voters in the u. s. head to the polls in a week? both republicans and democrats are divided on what matters most to them. i'll just spoke to people on both sides of the oil. hi, i'm andy semen ello from poughkeepsie, new york, and i am a democratic voter. hi, my name is deb brown and i am a registered republican here in auster county new york. i live in a small city of kingston. i'm some i retired. i'm in the health care field. i'm actually retired. but i spent a career in corporate development and also a small business owner. in recent years, we have noticed which is unusual for our city crime. the riots did not help. and the, and the yelling of defending the police who you think protects them even when you're doing your protest. here in your days,
4:36 pm
we have faith in legal access to all reproductive health care services, including abortion. that is not the case across the country. it should not be something that is decided on by the, by the supreme court or by any legislator. it should be just freedom of choice. i'm semi retired and i'm starting to look at our investments, the salary. every time i go to the grocery store here and kingston, i'm usually ticked up $3.00 more. we took a step in terms of gun safety in this, in this last term. but it's not enough. if children are still being guns down in classrooms, what we need is a ban on assault weapons. i have an issue with immigration, the bus is coming through must have been a real good wake up call because they were at which and i don't blame them. what do you think was going on at the texas border? climate change is, is something that we all have to recognize. i live in this beautiful hudson valley

along the hudson river, and i want to know that these resources will always be available for my children, for my grandchildren and my great grandchildren. if you want things ranged in your neighborhood in your state, you vote, i do a lot of canvassing here in poughkeepsie. and for the most part, i'm hearing about a very motivated electorate years president job. i've been told oil and gas companies to lower energy and petrol prices for americans or face a higher tax rate on the record. profits biden has been threatening a windfall tax against oil giants and the lead up to the mid term elections. he says many firms have been profiteering from the war in ukraine also. and jordan has more from washington, dc. it's 8 days before the u. s. midterm elections, which will determine the control of congress. and certainly, republicans have been able to make inroads with voters this year because of the
4:38 pm
