and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter where you call her al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that mattie al jazeera, that brutal she rocky journalist who's visualizing complex statistics in a simple art form. i think it offers us some really exciting opportunities to break apart from those systems of power and to collect data in a way that better represents different community, challenging mainstream misconceptions. i hope that quite crates and handle ministration. it doesn't alienate people, it doesn't make people feel like i'm not mine on the sense booth truth. is it anyway on al jazeera? ah, this is al jazeera

ah hello, i'm emily angry. this is the news our live from dough. her coming up in the next 60 minutes, israel's former prime minister benjamin netanyahu has voted in the 5th election and under 4 years, he's hoping to make a comeback. marching for they defeated candidates to president. so supporters of brazilian president, jr, boston our protest against his loss in sundays, run our flores. i'm hash him a bottle in denmark where voters cast their ballots in an election dominated by wising inflation, climate change, anxiety of the future of the country, his welfare state. we look at why opium production in afghanistan has jumped to by a 3rd in the past year despite a band by the taliban. and the cut our world camp gets under way in just

a 19 days santa set back for france, losing their star midfielder paul paul van. ah, we begin the program 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 turn out with numbers not seen in 23 years. analysts say the biggest issue is whether people are for or against a former prime minister. benjamin netanyahu, whose face incorruption charges. he'll need to break a long standing deadlock in the canisters and take 61 seats to regain power. to get them here is it look good party knees and turning to the far right. it's expected to seek a coalition with anti palestinian ultra nationalist politicians like it's a mob been given. hoover gained momentum in recent months. i can't

we do have and to report his covering all angles are that this story. but 1st he is a report from ben and smith on at netanyahu's push to get back into power. ah, no one in his railey politics divides the country more than benjamin netanyahu. his supporters love him as much as his opponents load him. he's on the campaign trail trying to win back the job of prime minister that it held for a total of 15 years until last year. once again, it's about nathaniel, for, and against. and it's not only a personal issue, it's an issue that have to do with her characteristic off israeli democracy more much return democracy versus more populous or momentary tarren and populist or more liberal democracy. and of course about her identity a right wing left wing, the political stalemate. this is the 5th election in 4 years. is for many israelis tied to the start of when netanyahu was indicted, a breach of trust, fraud,

and accepting bribes. he says the trials are political, which hummed polls suggest netanyahu's party will be the single biggest in parliament, but just a seat or 2 short of a majority. he needs every vote, but i ask you to go to all your friends with all of your neighbors and all of your relatives and tell them that nobody stays home. we're going full power this time, full power with all of our masses to get your, your la pete out of the prime minister's office to his supporters. he gave israel 10 uninterrupted years of economic growth. normalize relations with 4 are of countries and got the us to withdraw from me around nuclear pat his party, the could, can imagine no other lead because he's been the leader of the could for so long his really shape the party in his image and the party as well believes with good reason, i think that they would do less well with somebody else at the helm. you know how it is in politics. if, if you feel that your party leader is actually reducing your chances of getting

elected your ditch him right away, that's not the sense in the good. his critics say he's threatening his rouse democracy in his determination to stop his criminal trials. netanyahu has suggested he'll build a coalition with the far right religious zionists, to form a government. let's bring in that stephanie deca who's at the yes. and she'd party headquarters in television. hello there, staff. obviously a very busy day for you. what are they saying in terms of the chances fully paid and his party being voted in a doing some checks here? i had one of them in terms of the polls you know can be, and i can certainly there's a couple of things to do in giving. the same message is that it will come out with a more seats. then you have to read the party of the interim prime minister. yeah. like speed. but again, that doesn't really matter because it's all about coalition politics about party

building, about getting those crucial 61 at the moment, their neck. and that if you look at the predictions most unless will tell you that they're not too positive about the coalition. here, the yellow peed coalition getting a majority. but what is different this time round in the 5th elections, and in certain, in the last 13 years here is that benjamin netanyahu is not the prime minister. so benjamin netanyahu doesn't manage to get those 61, see if it is that connect and no one manages to form a government, then you will have to remain as the caretaker prime minister until another round of elections, which will probably be early next year. and i have to tell you quite a few people quite a few voters will tell you, well, you know what, it looks like. we're just going to go to another election because of the fractious nature of israeli politics. this is why you had so many electrons until now, and they will tell you that really nothing has changed when it comes to the really fragile makeup. meaning that if there is a party that comes out on top,

if there is a coalition that comes on top is still 61 c, she's only one m k one member of parliament. more than the other side. so still very, very bright. yes, certainly many moving pants. thank you very much for the update. stephanie deca live for us in television. that's bringing bernard smith now, who joins me from west jerusalem. he's at the look good party headquarters. hello. they've been at the highest voted. turn out in decades. what's that being put down to a 39 percent nationwide, so far, but only 17 percent in the palestinian israeli communities. now height, sir, now is because every vote counts in these railey systems are what we've seen of the last couple of weeks of cont, can track contracted. an electioneering is passed, he's trying to get the vote out. benjamin netanyahu needs every vote. he can to push himself his party over the line to get him back in to pound in his railey

system. every vote means seats. his party believes as may be 850002300000 potential voters who didn't vote before. and he's been out there trying to get them out there. the party had been trying to do the same as well. our parties, they need really more than 50 percent to get enough seats in parliament. just deprived netanyahu's coalition of overall power. that's why this is so pivotal this election if netanyahu wins and he gets into a coalition with the fall, right? ultra nationalists also belcher orthodox parties, who don't want my children to be taught max in english. for example, on these far, i knew her religious sign. it's zack, cool. they get into power back considerably changed the nature of israel's government while we will watch this face and cross actually throughout the evening . thank you very much, ben. it's mentioned live for us in west jerusalem for further analysis. let's bring in jamal nazareth. he is the spokesman for the fat revolutionary council,

which is the parliamentary body of palestinian governing by based in ramallah. he joins us from berlin at jamal. thanks so much for being on this news. our does the results of the selection matter to palestinians is their hope of any meaningful change once the votes are counted. it would matter if it political scene in israel where to be divided between good and evil, namely pro occupation unto occupations. but the 2 major companies have one gone denominator, which is they are both for the projects of colonialism and punish. so i do not see a difference between the 2 counts. ended by the in order to know actually and they both compete in terms of who is more races towards the envision indigenous population within itself and who is more extreme in terms of maintaining the

convention, we have seen arise israeli violence against the thing of so nobody can say that the government is actually moderate because it has more blood when it's within a short span of time, then it's pretty simple. so the outcome doesn't matter for most seniors, but if you are a senior living today, another in or hyper already oper, i think the there is a mothers to you because at the end you do not want a racist government like the ones they have in the under let them know, i don't think, but i've seen it inside the relative there is want to see. and if the government once again from all or part of you diplomatically, there can be no difference because we don't see at the spot. and neither of the 2 major companies have given what you're saying, we're not only do you have benjamin netanyahu as a possibility, but also the fact that now he's aligning himself with this fall right group. how

much of a concern is that for you? it is concerning because the rise of israeli extremism can endanger the entire region is nothing to save the to say the truth, the israeli right extreme right the far right. and it does have an influence also on the international discourse. it does influence european but not the europe in landscape of pockets. so these far right extremism in israel is dangerous, not only for the policy nor context, but far beyond. it does influence also, they are a political scene and we will see who are you going to support and accept and it's in your government headed by the most dangerous and evil in nature. and well addition like been give you, actually, we should blind defense also of the nice of states, whether through the beast,

water, and we believe the united states does new have the mean to bring is read to the negotiating table. if they wanted, we hope we can see the americans more determined on the step. all right, well, we really appreciate that analysis jamal it is the spokesman from a revolutionary council. thank you. moving on now and supporters of brazilian president gyal scenario have blocked roads across the country after he last sundays run off load these a live pictures coming in from the south. palo truck drive is in the nation's largest city, protesting on the road leading to its international airport. as a result, flights have been delayed with protests is threatening to block access completely open our has yet to concede to face following sundays. presidential election is due

to speak in the coming hours. for more on this story. let's bring in monica. can. i can, who joins us live now from re or did janera. both scenario has remained silent. has there been any indication when he'll finally speak? will it be today tuesday? well, this is the $1000000.00 question. everybody's asking, ah, here in brazil, nobody knows not the reporters that cover the up by law. so the plan out the, which is the brazilian equivalent to the white house, not to his allies, nor, nor friends. we've just heard from one of his sons who had tweed it before that they should keep their heads up high and up and stand by our boat, brazil. so that doesn't really mean much he in another tweet he said, dad, i am with you, no matter what. but the president himself has kept silence. his vice president,

on the other hand, has been talking to the president elect a reason not to let us silver. his vice president elect and he that both of vice presidents have been starting to talk about the transition. also, the presidents of, of the senate and the house of represent representatives have already acknowledged lola's victory. and so has the majority of the political system in brazil. so both on i was pretty much standing alone in this silence, which is very disrupting because the, the ones that were waiting to hear from him where the truck drivers that have been blocking streets all over brazil. but when he does talk bull, so not a, we expect him to say something along the lines that yes, he was defeated, but the judiciary system was biased towards his opponent along those lines. that's what his ministers have been advising him to say. monica,

we've been saying live pitches as you've been speaking of south palo of police in riot gears and certainly those trucks blocking that access road. how wide spread these protests across the country? oh no, they're all over the country. like if they were in 26 of the 27 brazilian states. but ah, the military police has already been called to, ah, would you are the people that you see in a, in an, in all those gears there? they've been called to unblock a visa to, to lift to these road blocks, and they have already lifted some 300. also, the governors are stepping in, rio's governor, who is an ally of president valuable. so nato has already said that he wants all the roadblocks lifted, and that in a democracy, people just have to accept the results, whatever they are and whether you like them or not. so that's why i was saying that presumable sonata, even even his tongue staunchest ah,

allies are speaking in favor of democracy and just accepting the results and going on from there. or i will watch this face. thank you very much for that update, monica, you not give live for us in rio de janeiro. plenty more head on this news hour, including the man accused of attacking the u. s. how speak his husband is expected in court on tuesday. we explain how a political deadlock in northern the island is starting to have an impact on people . and later we'll take a behind the scenes look at cutters, l by it, say to him, where the world camp will open later this month. ah. people in denmark are also picking a new parliament, 14 parties of vying for 179 sates. the rising cost of living and climate are at the

forefront of voters. mines. hashem aha, borrow reports from copenhagen voters across denmark, turned out a big numbers. as soon as polling stations opened, these are tough times for the danes, rising live, and course and climate change. worries have become a daily concern. labor to the, i'm not for a country where if you have too much while many have to little i want to quality this leads to crime and violence in the society. they do, we're doing for short and the, i'm worried about the high energy prices. money's losing its value and we don't know how do we get through these crisis. the prime minister and social democrats, leader matter, fredrickson is confident her party will remain the biggest block in parliament, but the far right is gaining ground. we have happened some different discussions with inflation and the prices and energy crisis. i will say on the,

on the top of you didn't know 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, a rasmussen present himself as a moderate alternative to matter for dixon. his rivals accuse him of stealing those from the traditional right where her originally comes from. the idea is to create a new political situation. you know, we are jones by demographic which owners by economic crisis. i'm a true believer as reporter of the scandinavian welfare modern body, sug h. a challenge like the next government isn't expected to change the country's course on immigration. that's because in their birth to stem, the rise of the fall, right. the left and center parties have taken

a hard line on migrants and refugees. the social democrats are likely to remain demarco biggest political party. but matter, frederick says, chances of think empower may ultimately depend on whether the moderates will want to form a coalition with her. and if they do the expect to have a bigger saying her government has marble, al jazeera, copenhagen, russian missile strikes, have destroyed half an apartment building in the cranium. port city of mich alive, an elderly woman is believed to have been killed in the attack. the strikes come a day after russia targeted energy facilities across ukraine. they caused power outages in a number of cities and water outages in the capital, keyed to migrant boats have sunk off the coast of grace as they trying to navigate strong winds. the 1st went down near the island of eva, where rescuers are now trying to find 60 people. and off the coast of the same mas

island, a 2nd boat sank with 12 people on board arab heads of states and foreign ministers. therein, algeria is capital for to day arab league summit, he opening ceremony saw to museum president chi say at hand over the councils presidency to the algerian laid up delegates will discuss regional, political and security issues in light of the war in ukraine. this is the 1st to arab league summit since 2019 a da 0 zayna holiday is covering the summit for us in al geez, hello. there is zayna. what other pressing issues the league will be tackling well, there are quite a number of pressing issues that need to be addressed. the arab league secretary general during preparatory meetings, over the weekend, talked about food insecurity. according to the international monetary fund, 141000000 people in the arab world are hungry and he is calling for joint

arab action, especially the low income arab countries where societies really have been struggling with high food prices, high energy prices. as a result of the war in ukraine, that war has had an economic impact on the globe, and particularly in the middle east and north african regions. and there is growing concern following russia's decision to stop or suspend its participation in the u gray, a ukraine grain exports deal because those exports are not just vital for the world but vital for this region. many countries in this region depend on wheat and grain from ukraine and of course, bread being a main staple. so you have that crisis that needs to be addressed. and arab leaders also have political calculations to make these or via the war in ukraine. so far our countries have stayed neutral in the conflict, even though there was some pressure from the west for it to take sides. so will we

see a unanimous decision come out from this stomach, in which, you know, the arab world will declare it's neutrality, which would be seen as a win for russia. and zayna talk us through the division among these member countries who no doubt the arab world has long been divided polarized over a number of issues. each country has its own internal problems. and there is uneasy relationships among each other. among them is a decision by some arab countries to normalize relations with israel, that happened in 2020 when they signed the so called abraham accords. there are some arab states which are vehemently against this among them, algeria. so how are they going to deal with the issue of palestine? and of course, you have the dispute between algeria and morocco, over the western sahara, there was hoped that the moroccan king would arrive at may be to east pensions,

opened the page through restarting relations between these 2 countries. and the king is not coming. of course, there's also the issue of syria syria reinstating its membership and the arab league, algeria was pushing for this to happen. but the hour of the remains divided. there is also the question of the regional players, non arab regional players like turkey and iran during the last summer 2 years ago. there was condemnation, voice against them, accusing them of interfering and internal affairs of arab countries. how will it be dealt with this time around us relations with turkey and iran improved with several arab countries so divisions. the algerians are hoping that this conference will unite the arab world. that may be difficult, but undoubtedly this region is facing a lot of crises, whether economic or political, certainly, and lengthy agenda in day. thank you very much for the updates in a hot light press a net, algeria, northern islands,

top politicians have met for a new round of talks to end their political deadlock. the regions executive has not functions since the election in may. its elected assembly has not been seating due to a boy caught by the biggest pro british union as party the de you pain. and as pull brennan reports that 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. 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 is 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, 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 and wales who've already received the 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 standing 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 believes at calling another one will make any difference. 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. still ahead on al jazeera. good. i saw the crowd just fall forward. i can't get those images out of my mind. we hear from miss of either of the crowd crash in south korea. they killed more than 150 people as the lazy mate, the response was inadequate and lighted in sports, we look at how cut us capital is getting ready to welcome world cup van

rest of your biden's presidency and put americas democratic principles to the test . special coverage of the midterm elections on al jazeera, examining the impact of today's headlines humanities in sent a memo by nature. and that man was down by a pakistan setting the agenda for tomorrow's discussions. if you tell a big enough why voters will think, got too big to be alive, it must be true. international filmmakers and world class journalists bring programs to improve and inspire you. you can take it as a possibility to explore on our jazeera lou lou.

hello you, what, you know g 0? i'm emily anguish. he's a reminder of our top stories this. our israel is holding its 5th election in less than 4 years. analysts say the biggest issue is whether voters of full or against formulated benjamin netanyahu was facing corruption charges. supporters of brazilian president j. a balsam arrow have blocked roads across the country after he lost sundays, run off the boat truck drive is in south palo. have been protesting on the road leading to an international air force. and people in denmark of picking a new parliament, 14 parties of buying for 179 states. the political battle is between the incumbent lift wing block and right wing candidates. let's get more now on our top story and the elections in the israel. one of the major issues for voters. this time is the cost of living. let's bring in a joseph. get la, the founder of lick, head to israel,

which is the biggest food distribution charity in israel. he joins us from a television. joseph, thanks so much for being on the program. before we get into any other details, describe what it's like. for many people living in israel at the moment when it comes to the cost of living and food insecurity. so i think israelis are facing the same issues that people are facing throughout the world. cost of housing because the number one problem here, inflation in general, is hitting the cost of food. and those who may, who don't make enough money, are struggling as they were before to make ends meet. it's just gotten much more difficult for them in 2022. so do you believe that the political parties in contention have put enough importance on the cost of living crisis as we just heard in that intro? on the recaps, we're talking about benjamin netanyahu. and he making it a return. do you think that the most important issue that is people putting food on

the table is that receiving enough attention? so my wife and i today reviewed all the 30 plus political parties to take a look and see what they were say about cost of living. and it was pretty skimpy. what in their, in their platforms? so i think as we all know, this is an election that has to do with pro or anti latan. yahoo mostly and most issues unfortunate have been left on the side. and it leaves the work that people like herself that like at to take care of those in the i want to get to that in just a moment. but how concerned are you that poverty might get worse in israel? no matter who's elected? so. yeah, so i'm definitely concerned about that. you know, we are a small country and we import fair bit of our food and all the costs associated with importation of food energy are hitting us and raising the price of food

dramatically. and it just means that those who are in need are just again skipping meals, maybe not by the proper food, which they need to buy. and it's just a real nightmare situation over here. and also the food insecurity in those occupied territories is also worse than the other areas. and the responsibility of that lives on whoever is elected will their situation get better or worse to think . while i say yeah, the poverty situation in israel pales in comparison to what we see, you know, in the west bank and i've been there, i've seen with my own eyes. and it's of course, somewhat the responsibility of the israeli government together started to do what it can to try to make sure that people there are as much money as possible and have a decent living and being able to take care of their families. it's a, it's a struggle throughout the world and unfortunately, i think it's gonna get worse before it gets better and we still hope we're better

days ahead. all right, well we really appreciate your insights and taking the time to speak to us joseph get lead from to israel, which is the biggest food distribution charity in israel. thank you so much for your time. thank you. moving on now and inflation, abortion, and police violence are some of the main issues for voters in the us ahead of next week's midterm elections. both republicans and democrats are divided on what matters most to them. i'll just 0, spoke to people from both sides. hi, i am andy salmonella from the kits in 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 semi 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, 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 in kingston, i'm using kicked 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 real good wake up call because they were at woodson 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 changed 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. still in the us, in the man accused of attacking the husband of housebreaking. nancy pelosi is expected in court later on tuesday to face charges of attempted murder, burglary,

and assault. prosecutors is seeking to hold david to paper without bail poll. pelosi was beaten with a hammer inside the couple of san francisco home. on friday, the 82 year old is recovering from centering white house correspondent, kimberly help it has the visa. 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 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 a look at the suspect as he is being charged with a whole host of crimes. 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 pelosi, of the speaker of how speaker nancy pelosi, his husband. but in fact, nancy pelosi herself, who was seen as being the leader of the pack in the eyes of david to pape. and he felt 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. let's move on to afghanistan, where opium production has jumped by a 3rd since the taliban took over the country. in september 2021,

increasing from $425000000.00 in 2021 to 1400000000 this year. although it says this is a fraction of the money that's being made from production and trafficking. afghanistan is the world's biggest supplier of opium, but since coming to power in august last here, the taliban announced a ban on cultivation. it issued a strict decree in april, but this has been unsuccessful in preventing the latest harvest. for more on this would bring him remain mellow jack who wrote the book was load survival, the delusion of state building and afghan dumb. he's also a political science professor at red bowed university. he's in amsterdam and joined me live now at remain. thanks so much for being on this news, our festival explained to us why there has been an increase in appeal and opium production. what factors are at play here? what is it plays really combination of economic and political factors?

the 1st thing of course, is the fact that we've seen the withdrawal of foreign forces on the territory and it's been take over. so there's been a lot of uncertainty as to what would happen next. the top, been in august already last year, announced that they wouldn't be a bad, but there wasn't a ben until there wasn't a decree until next spring. so the production that we seeing now is actually the results of the opium that was planted very exactly a year ago before the actual decree. so african farmers seeing that or knowing that they would probably be a bad because it was announced by the taliban, but not seem to bend, yet. knew that they could plants and maybe that was the last of paternity to plants . and we've also seen an increase in prices, so there was all the incentives to actually plants last last fall for these, these actual season, especially in the conditions that the galveston is now. you cannot make an

financial and humanitarian crisis. there are certainly many factors at play, and as you're mentioning this band g think has only increased the price of opium and therefore had the opposite effect as to what it was designed to do. or at least in the short term for this season, or we don't know. yes. if the child been organized enforced the been this year. but yes, in the short term, it increase the prices increase the production because of this uncertainty because it was maybe the last chance to actually produce, we'll see what is going to happen in the longer term. if the ben is actually forced . what canny international community do to help afghan pharmacy trapped in this elicit opiate economy when the current situation very little in the sense that the international community refuses to help the talbot regime with development age. the taliban have been asking the international community to actually help with providing the difference, livelihood, substitute livelihood in afghanistan,
