12:03 pm
party is celebrating a significant breakthrough. they'll be the 3rd largest block in parliament and will likely be king makers, their leader, it mar bank, their a man with a 2007 conviction for inciting racial hatred. wants to run the public security ministry. lubbock seemed i thought of robert, i'm glad that we want to make a total separation between those who are loyal to the state of israel, and we don't have any problem with them. and those will undermine our jill country . it will be the 1st time ultra nationalist politicians of held cabinet positions. i believe that one of those people will be part of government. there will be either the challenges or the complexity of the shoes and other they would have to realize that they're working under and he could let the government a low turn out amongst the minority. palestinian israeli community means their parties have lost seats a higher turn out might have tipped the balance in favor of incumbent prime minister. the i repeat opposition parties if they will be that lucky the guns are
12:04 pm
not as diabolical as nathan. yeah. meaning that then it's a no opposition voted against everything. even the stuff they believed in even, you know, extending the law, do jewish citizens on the west bank. they voted against it because they believe they have to bring down the government. there was no sense of national good. it would have been hard before the election to find anyone who hadn't already made their mind about benjamin netanyahu either love him or logan of this election ended up being about getting the boat and particularly voters who haven't asked about in previous elections. and that it seems to have worked, but now there are hours days, maybe weeks of negotiations to go on before a government can be form. bernard smith, al jazeera west jerusalem. and stephanie deca choice me now from west jerusalem. and stephanie has burned and said exit. polls can be one thing, the reality really is in the vote count, where are we with that so far?
12:05 pm
97 percent of the votes counted at the moment to hail and the bigger picture remains the same. again, we have slight fluctuations and numbers, but yes, benjamin netanyahu is blocked, remains ahead by a couple of seats to the block of the interim prime minister. yeah, lucky we're, we're understanding that 100 percent of the vote will be counted which could be later today on that. benjamin netanyahu may be prepared to call your lab p dealer. pete, of course, hasn't conceded any defeat. yeah, she has said, let's wait until the end until all the votes are counter to get the right picture. but the picture at the moment is this, that there has been a shift very much in the political stage, if you will, not only with benjamin netanyahu very possibly returning to the sea, to friedman, this is something he bow to do last year when he was ousted after 12 years that he would do everything to bring down the government and return,
12:06 pm
but also with an alliance of extreme right wing ideology, something that benjamin netanyahu put together himself as a way of getting back into power to fringe parties of the ultra right wing nationalist that he brought together, and that really gained momentum, surprisingly, so to many is raised as well in these elections. and now you're seeing potentially, the 3rd biggest party in pond is long it belonging to, to mar, been giving her a hugely controversial character. we've been talking about for the last 24 hours now, and someone is also really kind of stolen in the limelight away from benjamin netanyahu doing these elections and some analysis now on israeli media saying that benjamin at young might not actually be comfortable with this. so called monster that he has created a god, we're going to have to wait and see to the final outcome. and then as you heard in partners package, there will be political negotiations that the president needs to appoint someone to form
12:07 pm
a government and see who gets appointed into this government. the certainly at the moment it looks like you will see some of these right wing extremist ultra nationalists holding major posts in government, stuff in the lead up to the election much was being said about b, b entering the race again. and now potentially becoming the prime minister once again. i mean, how is actually being received by the media in the wider public at large? well, benjamin netanyahu, we say it a lot, but it's true, it's love him or hate him. he remains a divisive figure by deals to remain someone who a lot of people here will tell you, has the experience. he is a political bostrom. i love him or hate him. he knows how to operate. just if you look at his media campaign, you know, a 20195 elections ago at during the elections during the day there was a low voter turnout. he went to the beach in atanya and told bathers to stop sunbathing and get off the beach to vote. yesterday, during the day
12:08 pm
a lot of social media again playing. you see benjamin netanyahu entering the room of an 18 year old man saying, you know, get out of bed and go to vote. he went to the mall where he kept telling people you're shopping. you need to vote for us because you know, the left is bringing the country down. he is incredibly media savvy. he is incredibly politically savvy. he has created the situation that israel finds itself and now which is that you do have this presence, you know, potentially in government of an extreme right wing ideology, which as i said earlier, many analysts to say you might not actually be happy with. but this is, you know, i think there's a figure, be careful what you wish for this is something that benjamin netanyahu always bowed, that he would do to return to power. and many people will tell you, return to power at all costs. even if it comes to sometimes the detrimental us of the country just briefly also as part of that he's been writing with is talking about changing, making changes to the supreme court, making changes to the independent judiciary, making changes to the rules particular. so when it comes to fraud allegations,
12:09 pm
which are perhaps, you know, have an effect on his trial and perhaps take it away. so all these issues are, are things that many mainstream sort of left wing israelis are concerned about. and of course, if you ask any palestinian israeli or palestinians, this change potentially in government of these extreme right wing ultra nationalist is extremely concerning. stephanie decker for us in west jerusalem. let's take the saw now with the to he need mr. far a palestinian palestine analyst with the angio international crisis group josefina from a lot in jordan. a good have you with us live on al jazeera in your opinion, in which direction is israel moving to with the result sort of suggesting that netanyahu is about to make his come back. i think it's worth considering at the very ground situation about israel and the territories has become as bad as it is because of the people who are now going to take control and a t are his previous premier ship. so many of the critical issues about taking
12:10 pm
territories and israel today become aggravated and deteriorate. and that we've seen ash significant shift in his rate, a society towards the right. and certainly in harvesting and territories, we've seen the last year radcliffe elements, i take a lot, a lot more political precedence. i mean, what's happened to the arab israeli vote to me they're often seen as a potential buffer to har. droids israeli policies being implemented i think even amongst the or tina $248.00 or is there a proper they've already expressed their apprehensions during the election. build up about these elections and any positive results. this could yield it to their communities. you have also seen a deterioration in their situation over the last period. it has been a teen. israel will, of course, as we look ahead to a potentially right leading israeli government. i mean, what can we expect to see on the ground? because those people, those palestinians are, you might say, surrounded by settlements will be certainly very nervous right now. i mean,
12:11 pm
the implications of this. i think the palestinians cross their different got it here, graph grand claims. he's going to be a continuation of deterioration of the status quo is ready. expansionism in the west bank, israel's continued refusal to reach a political compromise. consultation of land. peter piracy policy and taxes trigger happy soldier. testing about support organized in onset diminishes roaming around the west bank. mean these elections, the results will mean that we see more extremism from israel and continue to curation in the economical, quite security situation and increasing stress and tension in the territories. and as i mentioned previously, even amongst our communities in 48, i mean some of the figures who are likely to take control have made, i'm sorry, do you have any race politics and have made inflammatory statements and policy proposals in the cost? and we can expect how to spending communities, either in israel or the territories have their rights are held,
12:12 pm
are respected. so i think ultimately we should expect, instead of, you know, erosion in their respective situations. we also have to consider an additional variable here, which is that we are experiencing a p, a crisis leadership happening, and this is happening against the background. it will stream the hostile, what will be extremely hostile israel government that's going to exploit any divisions and instability that is used for its own interest. and we've seen that from previous israeli governments, we've seen the way that they've dealt with a split. they've used as an excuse not to engage in process while continue to expand settlements in the west bank and isolate cause i'm under speech and i don't think this having an extremely right wing government read most extreme and his world history is going to do anything to bring us towards positive trajectory. we'll see what happens. so the, the coming days of the day with the heating from the social crisis group, like you kenya, is deploying troops to the democratic republic of congo, helpline and 23 rebels. that comes out of the un mission with drifts. troops from
12:13 pm

12:15 pm
grades and also against the un who in spite of being there for nearly 2 decades, people say they haven't succeeded in protecting them from. and 23 or the other groups operate in the area. but of course malcolm news coming out from where you are in nairobi as it can. you is also sending troops to the d. c to so how does the old fit into the equation right now, can you and president william, which is attending a parade inspecting canyon soldiers that can you military says are to be deployed to the thing congress now democratic republic of congo joined the east african community economic block in march this year, a few months after that east africa had this statement here in kenya, capital nairobi, and agreed that a regional, the 4th would be deployed. they said it was to try to bring stability these to

12:20 pm
a slim majority after the country's 5th election in full years. can year is deploying its troops to the democratic republic of congo, to help fight against the m 23 rebels. and it comes off to the un mission with true troops from a major military base in the east, where the rebels are trying to advance north and south korea have engage and exchange of missiles and the latest escalation of tensions. north korea 5 more than 17 from 9 locations wednesday morning. the north, also 500 artillery shells near the border. well, south korea 5 missiles of its own, but bright has more from sol. this latest exchange of missiles comes at south korean and us warplanes stage joint air drills. the resumption of large scale exercises after a several year hiatus has infuriated the law, which has been conducting an unprecedented series of miss al launches since the start of this year. but this was
12:21 pm
a provocatively large number of missiles fired at once. with one of them seemingly directed south towards the south korean island of young dough. the air raid sirens were sounded for the 1st time there. and although the missiles fell far short, it landed 26 kilometers south of the de facto maritime border, known as the and l l. even if i saw this launch march the 1st time since the division of the internet that a missile has landed in new york territory waters such as the northern limit line. it is very rare. and we can never tolerate as south korea as tit for tat response came swiftly. 3 at the surface missiles were fired, landing exactly the same distance north of the dividing line. north korea has escalated its short range, ballistic missile testing, apparently developing its tactical nuclear arsenal. to the alarm of its south korean and japanese neighbors was i came with that this is getting done. the recently,
12:22 pm
north korea has been relentlessly and unilaterally escalating its provocations. its actions threatened the peace and security of japan, the region, and the international community. unlike the previous south korean administration that was trying to foster dialogue with north korea, the current government has shown it is willing to match each military escalation with an equal response. it's just sort of a slowly, steadily escalating threat that at some point could lead to a really serious outbreak. and that's really the, the concern whether this exchange of missiles will be followed by more is not known, but as a precaution. some colorado's used by commercial jets off the korean peninsula. east coast have been closed temporarily with the airlines. we routing that play for fear of mall, launching, robert fried, i'll just era. so southward as prime minister as question the police response to the agency calls when the crowd crush on halloween hills. more than a 150 people. 100 says

a thorough investigation is needed into what happened in solemn saturday. the police released transcript of emergency calls that show the 1st warning of a possible crush came i was before because i was pleased with the 10 similar calls before. the cale fatal at the state of foreign ministers, all in algeria capital for a 2 day arab league summit. the opening ceremony thought to nisan president, i said, hand over the councils presidency fail. jerry and leader delegates will discuss regional political and security issues in the context of the war in ukraine. now, we are living in a p. s. war against those who want to overthrow our arab countries. we can win other crises through unity and solidarity between arab countries. we are going through an exceptional international situation in terms of the magnitude and multiplicity of challenges. we need new concepts, new methods for all humanity said or has more from algiers. a lot of
12:24 pm
pressing issues that need to be addressed the algerian president during his opening speech, talked about what he called exceptional international regional circumstances. that is the backdrop of which the, the arab summit is being held. we also heard the un secretary general res, concern about russia's decision to suspend its participation in the so called green initiative that allows exports from ukrainian ports. many countries in the middle east and north africa depends on grain and wheat. and of course, bread being a main staple in this, in this region, the un secretary general warning of the possibility of instability. so food security, the fall out of the ukrainian war, the high food prices, the high energy prices. this has affected low income countries. there are calls for joint action, a joint strategy, and it's not just the economy. arab leaders have political calculations as well. so
12:25 pm
far, the majority of our countries have the say, the neutral, if you like in the ukranian, in the ukranian crisis, they've come under pressure from the west to take sides. so far they haven't. what are we going to see at the end of the summit in the final communicate? are they going to reaffirm their neutrality in this conflict? it would be seen as a political or diplomatic win for russia if you like, which is trying to avoid international isolation. brazil's president has broken 2 days of silence following his defeat and the presidential vote on sunday. job all said, all right, suggested some. some supporters who are blocking roads across the country should not impede transition in power, but he refused to congratulate his rival, president elect glued to silver, all admit that he'd lost the election to see it and even has more from some power. after 2 days president jade was tomorrow, finally came out to speak in public, but he did not use his address to the nation to clearly and unambiguously concede

12:27 pm
good storm of woods. some of us are in favor. others not well, i'm not. but i'm trapped here trying to deliver my cargo. there's a growing belief that the perilous zation of brazil's main roads and highways was not spontaneous. and that the hope was that it would trigger hundreds of thousands if not millions of brazilians to take to the streets, to demand a new election that has not happened. but it is a clear challenge to this country's democratic institutions. and it doesn't bode well for a peaceful transition of power. president elect lula. the silva has named vice president intellect had, i'll go out mean to head his transition team, but there is concern. after him, there was a good morning and it's either these more so now supporters will remain very organized with the ability to create chaos and not respect the law. that's for your son. here in brazil, we are going to have to co exist with this offense for some time. and judging by bull serrato's vow to keep his dreams more alive than ever, it will be
