a series of holidays in the run up to the elections. i think the only really got going in the last couple of weeks and the general view was that people will fairly apathetic because they've already had 4 election to go through. and this is the 5th one in less than 4 years. but nevertheless, the outcome of this election will be really consequential for the future of israel . you have the support of benjamin netanyahu, who wants 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 having an hour, a party in the coalition that lasted just about a year with dangerous, but then dangerous for the jewish nature of israel. dangerous to that security. the opponent of benjamin netanyahu say, well, if he wins, if you allow him to eat, if you guys into power, then that will chip away at the democracy in israel because the supporters want to change the law, the might allow him to stall or even. and these fraud and corruption trials he's

leader matter, fredrickson is confident her party will remain the biggest block in parliament. but the far right is gaining ground to have happened some different discussions, but inflation and the prices and energy crisis is, i will say on the, on the top of me, the end of the majority of the day. this is the man who is likely to and a decades long tradition of politics, dominated by left and white coalitions. former prime minister, last look rasmussen presents himself as a moderate alternative to matter for dixon. his rivals accuse him of stealing those from the traditional right. where originally comes from good ideas to create a new political situation. you know we are jealous by demographic. we're janice by economic crisis. i'm a true believer in support of the scandinavian welfare modern bodies sunday

ground. there was nothing we could do. i wasn't strong enough to move her. i saw the crowd just fall forward. i can't get those images out of my mind that she's returned to grief. those who died always, you know, i really didn't want to come back, but i felt i'd regret it for the rest of my life if i didn't. so i came to lay flowers and say a prayer. she realizes she could just as easily have been one of the victims and says she feels lucky but also guilty. what was wrong? i feel like i've committed a sense oh, i was the only one that got out. they were all like my friends. i only found out the scale of the disaster after seeing it on the news. it was so distressing. the memorial alter at $81.00 is one of many set up across south korea. on tuesday, precedent, june, secure, and some cabinet ministers came to pay their respects. majority of the shops around the site of the accident, i shut. as a mark of respect, you get

a sense that this is a nation in collective morning. there is to a feeling of to tama scenes of the disaster played out in real time on social media and broadcast repeatedly for days after the government has 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 has faced repeated questions about the forces preparation for and response to saturdays accident, apologized on tuesday. she got a woman, they were emergency calls about the danger and urgency of the situation and that a large crowd had gathered before the exit recurred. however, we think the police response to the emergency calls was inadequate. the president has said south chris crowd control measures will need to be stepped up. an investigation is underway as to how the stampede occurred. florence louis al jazeera, so support as a brazilian president jet, opposed to nato,

have blocked roads across the country after he last sunday's one off vote. truck drivers in the nation's largest city, south pollo, or protesting. and the road leading to its international airport flights have been delayed with protesters threatening to block access completely. boston nato has yet to concede, defeat, following sundays. presidential election is due to speech in the coming hours for monica. eudoxia is joining us now from via d. shamira monica, these protests weren't unexpected where they well, yes, we expected some sort of protest from the both are now to supporters who are very angry at the result. there was a very tight race lula, one by a small margin, but these truck drivers, they went out on their own. they're not the leaders of the truck. driver association is again, the leaders are against this. the federal court of supreme justice has filed an

injunction to say that these highways must be freed immediately. of course, the fact that president abel coronado has an open his mouth since the election results were, were broadcast that he, that doesn't help at all. it's a very loud silence. that's just how the causing a lot of noise and interference in the smooth transition that should exist between one government and the other. as i was just mentioning, ugh, just as well as you were saying. it's a very low silence. he hasn't said anything you're told, but he also has yet to concede defeat to lewis and not feel alluded to. silva if we do hear him speak in the next few hours, do we have an indication what he might say? yes. well, the ministers that are around that, that aarp his got his ministers have are strongly suggesting that he concede defeat

maybe point out to some irregularities maybe suggest that he was defeated because he thinks that brazil's judiciary system is biased in favor of former president was the master ruler, the silver was now elected for a 3rd presidential term, but he has to say something. i doubt he will say that he doesn't accept the results because there's nobody to back him up on that. the president of the house of representatives was a big supporter of his, the president of the senate. they have both come out with knowledge that lula is the new president, the vice, his vice president has been talking to lola's future, vice president. they're working out the transition, so it's basically like bull sonata losing time and standing alone. we only have heard from his son, one of his sons, who has tweeted that he is with his father no matter what. and also that they

should hold their heads up high and not give up on brazil. so that's basically all there is we're just waiting to see when we'll send out a we'll talk and what he'll say. but we don't think you'll say anything to the effect. so let's take over congress or the supreme court, although yes, question the supreme court. for many months before the election, monica, you're not here talking to us from rio de janeiro, monica, thank you very much. still had on al jazeera, the man accused of attacking nancy pelosi husband is going to appear in court on tuesday. we're going to be live in washington dc in just a moment. and we're going to tell you why opium production has increased in afghanistan. ah,

risks probably is a risk because there's some potential funding involved is for this southeastern corner of india. but we will jump across the corolla as well and involve sir lanka . the rest of india, bangladesh and pakistan is dry. ah, with ah ah no

ah, watching, i'll just hear a reminder of our top story. is this our israel's holding its 5th election in less than 4 years? analysts say the biggest issue is whether voters of for or against former leader benjamin netanyahu, who is facing corruption charges. even a denmark of picking a new parliament, 14 parties, a vine for a $179.00 seats. the political battle is between the incumbent left when black and white twain candidates, supporters of brazilian president charitable synonymous, blocked roads across the country. after he lost sundays, one or fault truck drivers in the nation's largest city sell paulo helping protest in the road leading to its international airport man accused of attacking the husband of us house speaker, nancy pelosi is expected in court. later on tuesday to face charges of attempted

murder, burglary and assault, prosecutors are seeking to hold david to pop without bail. paul below seat 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, is joining us now from the white house. i. kimberly were learning some more details about the case. yes, this is really the 1st opportunity for the public to really understand and get the details of this case. there's been so much speculation and misinformation on line, and so this is the 1st public court appearance for david to pave the man that is now facing not only state charges in california, but also federal charges. and we do know that as you mentioned, he will be held without bail on all of these charges. the charges, particularly serious attempted murder, burglary also attempted kidnapping,

and also retaliation against a federal official. in this case, the house speaker nancy pelosi, the intended target. now what we know from these court documents is that the of the prosecution is alleging that although it was the house speaker, nancy pelosi, husband pulp lucy, who was injured in the alleged attack. i was really nancy pelosi that was allegedly the target. in fact, what we understand from the court documents is that the plan was that there would be some sort of a hostage taking and been an interview if you will, in the if the house speaker told the truth, she would be set free. and if she did not, her nick house would be broken with a hammer. so these are some of the details that are coming out. but of course there is high interest in this case. and also an interest in trying to set the record straight, particularly on the part of the prosecution. we also know that this allegedly, they a suspect in this case,

david pape believe that nancy pelosi was the leader of the pack. if you will, telling lies to the american people and that he was fighting against tyranny again, he will be held without bail as this is his 1st court appearance, where he is appearing public to face these 1st sensitive or rather not sentencing, but charges that he will be facing in court and kimberly, this is maybe an example of the kind of strength of feeling that we're seeing generally ahead of you estimated term elections which are happening in just about a just over to week. hoping yeah. weeks time will be voting day, official voting day here in the united states. it's not the presidential election this time is the congressional elections that really determine control of congress, which party the democratic party of the republican party, will control the house of representatives that lower chamber or the us senate. the upper chamber right now is the democrats, let's say joe biden's party, and he wants to keep it that way. so he's going to be campaigning. he's leaving the

white house and about an hour's time heading down to the us state of florida in the south of the united states, where he's going to be campaigning heavily sending a message he hopes to amplify across the united states. at really a sort of a message of contrasts, if you will, that to the democrats of the party that lives people up. he believes that he says that if the republicans control the house of congress, or rather the u. s. congress moving forward that they will be taking things away from the american people like raising drug costs and also some of the social security benefits, but particularly older americans count on in the united states. so that's the message that the u. s. president is hoping will resonate with voters, but the polls seem to be showing it's republicans that right now have a bit of an edge in both the the house as well as the senate. so this is a tough, uphill climb for the president. after florida,

he's gonna be traveling to new mexico on thursday, california and friday, pennsylvania on saturday, as he hopes to try and turn those poles around before the official voting day on tuesday. no, it's our white house correspondent, kimberly hall. good. talking to us outside the whitehearst. kimberly, thank you. you as mid term elections as we were just talking about just over a week away, inflation, abortion on police, violence of some of the issues on the ballots. both republicans and democrats are divided and what matters most to them, autism spoke to people on both sides of the oil. hi, i am 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 austin county new york. i live in a small city of kingston. i'm some i retired. i'm in the health care fields. 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 protect them even when you're doing your protest here in your days 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 upon 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 gunned 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 really good wake up call because they were at woodson and i don't blame him. 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. us border officials are shorted a group of venezuela, migrants from rubber bullets from the countries southern border groups in processing now to be spelled to mexico under some policy,

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? 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 work has here in northern ireland have been promised a 4.5 percent pay rise. but unlike workers in england, scotland wales who've already received that pay right here without to devolve government and nobody has 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 in huge financial deficits. in fact, before covered, the outstanding figure for education was one and a half 1000000000 points of for the small place that as a lot of money. the urgent talks between the main political parties and the british government hold little prospect of a break through just 6 months after the last election. few believe that calling another one will make any difference. politicians stick rigidly to their principle . but those principles have a practical reality. that means ordinary people are left worse and worse off. paul brennan, al jazeera belfast in his prime ministers visited the site of a bridge collapse that killed more than a 140 people that end the ramadi arrived in the town of more b in his home state of goods for the accident happened on sunday. he met some survivors who is still in hospital rescue workers resume search operations. anna on

a few months and just the before the harness. and so what the bang trigger is actually an increase in their office prices. so if farmers would say before the ban at around the $115.00 per kilo, then after the band it was saying that are around $200.00 off coupon, in many instances, that is the source of livelihood. and with that, you know, population where 67 to 70 percent of income, that is just a stand on food and opium is a resource. and so sometimes farmers do not have a choice on wanted to go to data and how in a way to provide the likelihood of have families that are, that big money is a much higher than the 1.4. 5000000000 that is indeed made by the traffickers in a gun is done those that convert that off your own too early. and then they sell it

to neighboring countries and on and then from the traffickers that take it from the neighboring country to larger destination markets. like in europe or jurors hosting the 1st audibly solid sins before the coven. 19 pandemic. the meetings being overshadowed by political divisions among member countries, and a 100 reports from old years. it's a region plague by political conflict and economic crises. the international monetary fund says, 141000000 people in arab countries are hungry. and at nearly 30 percent, they have the world's highest levels of youth unemployment. the region also faces a humanitarian crisis. internal conflicts have created the largest number of refugees and displaced people in the world. while suffering acutely from climate change. temperatures have soared and water is scarce. against this backdrop, the arab leaders will be meeting in the algerian capital further and will summit.

the 1st since the pandemic began 3 years ago since then, 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 israel shifted dynamics. if you consider that post, i was always really at the heart of the arab league and what it stood for. this new alignment of states with israel potentially again, 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

looking to insulate the region to the extent that they can from being drawn into what might become a new cold war. arab leaders are engaged in the tensions between the east and west, among them. saudi crown prince mohammed, ben sel. man, he has been under us pressure due to a decision by opec plus to reduce oil output. washington the leaves that works for russia's benefits, whether a unanimous stance and statement comes out. first of all, in support of saudi arabia. second of all, in support of out of neutrality, away from the current. yeah. russian ukrainian wars, cuz this, if it happens, we'll empower to saudi political decision. and the pushback against washington pressure, arab summit have had few if any impactful resolutions due to regional differences. but this time around the challenges as a result of international developments may affect the.
