for the 5th time in 4 years, people in israel have cast their ballots in parliamentary elections. polls will be closing and just under an hour's time, but will end of the political deadlock which has paralyzed the country for 3 and a half years. former prime minister benjamin netanyahu as trying to make a comeback despite facing corruption charges. polls are suggesting his coalition wolfol just short of the 61 seats needed to regain power in the connected. if the vote ends with no clear majority, israel may be facing weeks of coalition talks before new government can be formed. meanwhile, some arab israeli say the rise of rightly extremism has driven them to vote in the selection that i have done a lot and not let it's worrying because arab citizens are boycotting the elections . latino is also worrying because the far right will win this election and become a strong force. but i am worried about this election. i hope the arabs will succeed in securing at least 8, if not 12 seats in the connex it, when it was, didn't him?

it's so important that i have voice as represented to be era members addiction as it can block the lives put in place, which target has swollen and unbelievable. so with them, i always vote. i vote in every election. we must vote. if you don't vote the far right winds, we need to stop the far right extremist. so with this or for more in there, so i'm joined in the studio by al jazeera senior political analyst, my ambition for my one. as we mentioned there 5 elections for years white as israel keep having them, what sort of impacts are these elections having on the countries political landscape? it's actually spectacular. to be honest, i mean, you're a few countries of the world could turn an election into a circus like that, and it's exciting and people are out there and there are signs and everywhere and so and so forth, arm and, and quite hostile, quite cruel. i even nathan yarrow himself was actually the coolest on a wall of them. he said, politics is cruel, but politics in israel is cloth as cruel as stone. most. certainly the more

inactions the hold, sort of that dirtier it's becoming. but when you look carefully at what's at stake, i see you dont know even we who we covered better than most. it's very hard to pin down the issues that they disagree about. right. cuz they the coalition that at that, against that than yeah, i'll just govern but the govern, just like nathan. yeah. really. in more of the same invasions of occupied territories, more of the same liberalization of the economy. more of the same war against garza, one of the same discrimination as also for so it's really more of the same policies, but they like to keep holding this lashes because what's really at stake is individual hostility, an interest, a lot of narrow party interests. more than real policies that will change israel more politics than policy for more similarities and differences between the 2 rival parties in this but, but if we break it down and look at it in the midst of the broader picture,

this has been called by many different sources as a referendum on 2 very different visions for israel. one that's possibly leading even further to the right and the other that claims to be defending. israel's passed down the road of liberal democracies. yeah, i disagree with this kinds over with this kind of approach. that's not to say that there aren't nuances there are. and the thing about nathan yo who as we've said, has been indicted on a number of corruption charges on so forth. his only path to, ah, beaufort, housey annoys you know, the prime minister, her residence is that if he makes a coalition with a character, this is mar de vere, who's like an isis leader in israel. right. he's quite a phonetic israeli. who, who's even to the right to the right of nathan yo, he belong to a party that even in the united states is considered a terrorist party. right?

so you do have a potential coalition with a truly phonetic racist israelis. but if you look at the other side that side, that just governed israel the last year. right. they are nathan. yeah. how's nathan? yeah. was in the sense that all of them worked with nathan. he out. all of them agree with not anyhow. and his responses. this agreement with him is that he betrayed each and every one of them. this is nathaniel. he betrayed each and every one of his partners and that's why they hold something against him. the difference is with him, is not over the vision for future of israel. the difference with him is personal. it's hatred. they can stand the guy and now he is indicted for corruption and they want him out. and that's why was it over the last election? it was a refundable over nathanael. this election to is the referendum over nathan. you but yes, as you said, if he does a ford collision with this phonetic, isis, like character, greer, then probably we're going to see some, some,

some blood sheds on the streets. so, i mean, you're, you're protecting internal turmoil with an israel. what is the results of these elections being for the wider region? you think? well, this is the thing you see because especially for the palestinians, right? and i tell you, i and our viewers around the world to watch us here, old is he is probably can get the picture. but let's just summarize it into words. 55 years. the palestinians had been governed by israel, but they have no vote. as who becomes for minnesota said, a 55 years by the sinews and west bank is jerusalem and gaza have basically been ruled by israel. they've been repressed by israel that michel told by israel their freedom of movement, even their curricular, their economy, their, their freedom of movement towards health and sense of what is all controlled by israel. but they have no vote in israel. and that's why when international

organizations speak of apartheid, we have very similar situation to what we had in south africa, just like the african, as white voted and had liberal democracy for the whites. we have a sort of a liberal democracy for the jews in israel, palestine, but the majority of those living there that palestinians continue to be repressed and controlled and they have no vote. and hence those elections and more of them continue to move towards the right. as you just said, with nathan, yours or so forth, and work what you're seeing is with each and every election, we're seeing more and more repression of the palestinians. more and more illegal settlements and more and more of lack of peace and more of war or to some, despite setting up per several branches of arab focused branches by yellow speed that he doesn't seem to have hit the mark has he? what is put off arab israeli is from turning out in this election, him from backing him look, some are more than happy to get some of the crumbs of the table. right. and some of

these including that the now by the way, promise them are some budgets, right? you know, some, some millions of shackles. right. but most arabs in israel do not want to see a more of the same israeli occupation and so on, so forth. is a turn for some extra budget for them. and that's why the palestinian is a look at the la p. them not the neo and what they're saying to themselves is tomato tomato. right? it's really more of the same. and when, when they tested la p the last year and they seen what he's capable of doing in gaza, another war in the west bank more and more invasions and oppressions and killings and as targeted assassinations on so so forth. i think they conclude in the end that really the difference between la p nathan, you know, is, is, is not worth their betraying their conscious. and there are brothers and sisters

across the green line. ma am will be no doubt speaking to you as evening draws on. thank you very much for joining us here. mar and bashar al jazeera political analyst. now stephanie decker, is that yes, i teed headquarters in tel aviv. steph, i clearly was seeing a, a sizable turnout. is there any indication of the large numbers there? possibly having a positive or negative impact on support is on the policy they're both with when this is the big question. yes. a non expected, extremely large. turn out the ice and seen in over 20 years and it really does come down to who are these voters? i can tell you that particularly, you know here where we are, the party of the interim prime minister. yeah. and that they are dependent on smaller parties of life. how to seen is really part of life. other smaller wasn't

merits and labor to make up their coalition, which is made up of very different sides of the political spectrum. if you will, who came together, you may remember last year. yeah. like the managing to come to that together all and all just to out at the time, prime minister benjamin netanyahu. well, he's out trying to make a return and it's going to be very interesting in about an hour when we get those excell poles as to who these voters are. i can go either way. either. you going to see potentially a lot of those smaller parties not making the threshold, which is going to have a negative effect on a and it's coalition, or if you see potentially, an upsurge in voters directly from the palestinian israeli side, even though at the moment it doesn't look like whose numbers is still adding up according to the poles that could boost them. so everything is up in the air. and of course it comes down to mass, it comes down to numbers. even the biggest part is to have to coupled together code, which to all intents and purposes still seems like it's going to be fractious,

whether any side gets it $516253.00. because of course, this is 126 message parties need 61 teeth able to get a majority, so too early to cold, but certainly extremely interesting. doesn't seem as huge turned out. right. and so stephanie, as we've been saying with mo, on here in the studio, yes, your teams chief tactical concerns throughout all of this has been trying to drum up arab voter turnout. how's that gone? as we don't have numbers. we do. i think that particularly in terms of traditional they've been voters late later in the day. but the, what the issue is now when you have the surge and voter turnout in general, particularly listen to some of the analysts say you've got a surge and the jewish israeli turned out that the threshold, the minimum threshold, you enter the classic israeli parliament, which is 3.25 percent now means that many more people need to vote for this part to

make that threshold. what they're talking about is every, all of those smaller parties need at least 160000 voters at this point in time. this is more votes than they had before. so i pathetic is speaking and we can debate on this now is whether those smaller parties are even going to make the threshold protection. you could see that no policy in israel party could make it into the capacity if they don't make that threshold. so modest question. still up in the air, we will get a better picture, i think, within the hour. but yes, i think this election, the 5th and 3 and a half years is going a little bit differently when it comes to the turn up, particularly why that is, we still don't know because it really does come down to who are these people who turned out to vote in large numbers and that could swing it either way. all right, so stephanie decker, yes. t the headquarters in tel aviv. we'll leave that for now. but we'll go to bernard smith, who's the could headquarters in west jerusalem or bernard,

a benjamin netanyahu as planning. of course, the ultimate political come back as any one of his chances always hope he's hoping to build. it's a political come back. so now it's been quite good so far. 57.7 percent at this time a the evening a bit low of the our community about 41 percent. netanyahu needs a good turn out because he needs to push to push this over the line. you won't find an israeli, who has not already made their mind up about betterment benjamin netanyahu, whether they're for or against him or what he's been trying to do. and others been trying to do is find those votes. those who are living cast their votes last time, was estimated between 852300000 voters who didn't vote last time to bend. in the betten, yahoo's been having rally after rally after raleigh, encouraging people to come out. and if they come out in sufficient numbers, that might give him just that 61 seat majority. he needs to form ago,

a coalition government with those settler parties, the ultra orthodox parties who are far right. ultra nationalists parties are who want to change the sort of fabric and way that israel is government are parties, the palestinian israeli parties need to get a 50 percent 10 out in their community to stop netanyahu's partners getting all those seats. if they don't, then it's netanyahu that has a good chance of winning the poll. say it's still he still. busy won short, we got an exit poll jus, and about 45 minutes. as soon as the polls here close, they're normally very reliable. we're back with you to give you all the lexical and burnett, a potential victory for netanyahu, of course, opens the door for entre locks, coalition partners, and, and far right settlers. what of what kind of role if they've been playing in the selection it with wells far i sat there is particularly religious zionists,

if they called they were really outsiders in the last election they were really irrelevant. but they've really managed to come up in the polls, and he's estimated that from 4 or 5 seats last time. they may get 14 or 15 this time around. that makes them the good biggest party and those potential king makers . one of the leaders at my bank via a conviction from 2007 for inciting religious hatred against arabs. he wants to be made minister of security if he gets into the cabinet. and benjamin netanyahu said he will consider cabinet positions for these people. his critics critically netanyahu say he's threatening israeli democracy by doing this because the part of the international is if they get in, they want to change the law to make changes to the law. the could potentially stop the fraud and bribery charges the netanyahu's face. and he says that won't happen, but everything indicates that that is what these parties are after doing. it's all about getting netanyahu back into power, and his apparent attempts do anything we can to get back into the prime minister's

office, bernard. but before we go, benjamin netanyahu describe the selection as quote, a defense of the countries jewish character. what do you think he meant by that? well he meant that the policies that come into power with all share that same sort of you in israel is moving as move further and further to the right over the years . and it's the protection of jewish character. but a lot of his supporters are worried about last year and the last coalition that was for the 1st time, an arab palestinian israeli party. and those right wing parties see that as a threats to the jewishness of israel as, as they call it. they see that sharing power, those arabs as a threat to israel's jewish character, of course palestinian israelis makeup more than 20 percent of the population of, of israel thought this is a controversial law, recognizes his country as a jewish state. and they fear that if power receded to the coalition,

power is shared with allison is re parties that will threaten the nature of the jewish nature of israel. i bernard smith live presently could headquarters in western so many things. now supporters of brazilian president gyre balsam arrow have block roads across the country outreach last sunday's run of vote. truck drivers in the nation's largest city sao paolo have been protesting on the road to the international airport leading to flight cancellations. the supreme court is now ordered police to remove the blockades from the highways. both an arrow has yet to concede, defeat to rival lula da silva following the sunday's presidential election, but he is expected to speak shortly. you are looking at live pictures of the podium there where jar boston are, is expected to break his silence shortly. of course, after the election, when i buy in australia the silver back in power after 20 years will of course

we'll go to that as soon as it happens. moving on those south korea's interior minister has apologized after at least a 156 people were crushed to death in a halloween crowd. surge, police admit the response was not adequate. and the countries president hewn suck your house call for more safety measures. florence louis as more from sol lead our young was at 81 on saturday. the night of the halloween crowd to crush. if i am by you, i told people there was some one on the 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 grieve, those who died all the film. 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 for her own? 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, securely on cabinet ministers, came to pay their respects. majority of the shops around the site of the accident are shut. as a mark of respect, you get a sense that this is a nation in collective morning. there is to a feeling of collective trauma scenes of the disaster played out in real time on social media and will 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 anchor. the police chief, whose faced repeated questions about the forces preparation for and response to saturdays accident, apologized on tuesday. single day old formula, there were emergency calls about the danger and urgency of the situation. and as 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 korea crowd control measures will need to be stepped up. an investigation is underway as to how the stampede occurred. slightly al jazeera. so while let's go back to one of our top stories. we are of course, waiting for the incumbent brazilian president jaya bull scenario to finally break his silence almost 2 days since the election. in which sure he was defeated by his left wing rival anacio, lila da silva, rose back in power will be soon after 20 years. the lulu in, of course,

sparking fears, protest from both scenarios, supporters and concerns, of course that the man described as the trump of the tropics may be planning some kind of a political come back, or at least a challenge to the results. let's go to monica, yanna k of who joins us now live from rio de janeiro and monica. we've been waiting for both in a hurry to speak now for nearly 2 days in which time as i said, tensions have been growing. oh, what do we anticipate him to say? well, right now, all the press that covers the presidential palace in brazil, the capital as well as many of his ministers are all waiting for his statement which should be in seconds. we anticipate him to say something that like to along the lines of conceding defeat, but pointing out to what he considers the irregularities of the judicial system

which he has been repeatedly saying is favorable to his opponent. the president elect reads enough to lead a few of us. so we really, he's very in a very unpredictable person, much like president dot former president donald trump. so anything can happen, but he's been speaking to his ministers for the whole day since the morning. he also wanted meeting before making a statement with the supreme court justices, and they did not agree to that. they said they would talk to him after his statement. that is because he has been accusing the supreme court justices of being biased. so we're all very waiting for this for the whole day, and then everybody is anticipating to know what he'll say. monica will just be looking at some pictures of both scenarios. support is protesting and blockading roads in south. paolo, but we know, of course,

they're happy in other similar demonstrations nationwide. how are they being handled well at the beginning when they started and they took, they happened in $26.00 of $27.00 brazilian states at the beginning. the highway federal police was not very, very strong, but did not take any strong measures to clear those road blocks. they were. and they've been accused of being of some of the, their officers even of participating in, in arranging this protests. so they haven't been in but to the supreme court filed an injunction that these roadblocks should be cleared governors from 5 states, including the state of rio de janeiro where i am right now. have also taken measures to clear these road blocks. and it's important to say that the governor of re addition ero, is a supporter of president j bowles. so nato so president able scenario is every

getting more isolated by the minute. as a matter of fact, the president of egypt has invited president elect reason, not to let the silver to go to the cop 27 climate summit in egypt while, which will be now in november while both so natalie is still president of brazil. so he's both so matter is getting more and more isolated inside brazil and by the international community monica, you can live for us in rio de janeiro as we wait for july both narrative. finally breaking on this many things. now vladimir putin says russia may consider resuming a grain export deal with ukraine, wants an investigation into a tax on it. ships and crimea is completed. the russian president held a phone call with his turkish counterpart, russia time, otherwise on tuesday to discuss the deal. moscow suspended its participation on

sunday in response to what it says were ukrainian drone attacks on its fleet in the naval port of savannah pal. the deal was broken by turkey and the un in july to help ease the global food crisis. russian missile strikes have destroyed half an apartment building and a school in the ukrainian port city of mich alive. at least one resident believe, to be an elderly woman was killed in the attack. the strikes come a day after russia targeted energy facilities across ukraine. they cause power outages and a number of cities and water outages in the capital key. if a team from the u. n. nuclear watchdog is in ukraine to investigate russia's allegations, the key of is working to create a so called dirty bomb. the i. e a says it's expecting 2 sites after requests from the ukranian government. it's amy to detect any possible undeclared nuclear activities. the kremlin says kia could use a dirty bomb containing nuclear material on its own territory as

a false flag. operation. polls have closed in denmark's parliamentary elections. the results are expected to shift the countries of political landscape significantly. neither the left who are currently in power or the right wing opposition looked likely to win the majority. the election comes as energy prices sore and the highest cost of living in over 40 years. it's danish household, hard or hash m l bars. the danish parliamentary in copenhagen and hash, and we've had the somali exit polls. what does this say about the direction this election has gone near the exit balls are not good news for the 5 minutes. a meta for dixon from the social democrats. her coalition has secured $88.00 seats and they need 2 more seats to secure the majority. for the time being the biggest winner in the selection is the moderates lead by the

former prime minister, last locker rasmussen. why he is the biggest winner in this election. because for the prime minister to form a coalition, this time she cannot rely only on her traditional ally. the left is parties. she needs to go to the moderate to form a government code is. but she does understand of the same time that you can only convince the mother as to join her. if you can offer the major concessions and give them bigger se in the government. the biggest losers in this election are these traditional conservative vents of party, which last about 16 seats in the elections. compare 2019. there's also the social liberal which triggered this nap election. it has made, it has also lost significant sees in this parliament. the fog light on the other hand, made significant gains. the danish democrats, led by ignorance toy burg,

have now 12 seats in the parliament, and then your wife has 7 seas to sum it up. this is going to be an uncharted territory for danish politics. as you said earlier, need, this is no longer going to be the same dynamics that dominates of political life for the last 40 years. coalitions let either by the left or by the white. it is moving towards something quite different with the center motors party. likely to be a key element of this political life likely to shape the future of the country. the fall of life is gaining ground, which means that we are likely to see most of the mainstream political parties adopting the same policies of the far right to be able to appeal to their own basis and to the expanding base in the country, which is adamant about the need to hop hotshot approach particular when it comes to the issues of refugees and immigration leave hush about very, very briefly, what have the main issues been to the full front of voters minds?

this has been mainly about economy soaring inflation. rising the cost of living and also the war and they use the full out of the war in the way and climate change. and over the last 48 hours, it was climate change. people concerned about what is happening and thing that is about time for the country to move forward towards the energy. and this explains why the socialist people's party has been gaining some ground to this is quite an interesting moment. immigration was a very divisive issue on the past, but he took them back. but in this election, however, it is definitely going to be one of the top issues in the future. as i said earlier, all the main parties are definitely going to move ahead with more of a harsh measures. i guess immigration hashem, many psych, sasha mulberry live for us in copenhagen there. ah.
