upbeat, but it's most likely that after the final election results, there will be weeks of backroom coalition talks to try to agree a stable government, and if israel's politicians cannot and the long stalemate, many here worry they will be yet another election. yolande knell, bbc news, jerusalem. our israel correspondent tom bateman sent this report from tel aviv. well, this has been israel's try again election, that exactly what the voters have gone back to the polls, gone back to the polls for the time in two years. and once again, if the exit polls are to be believed, they returned the same kind of result, which is inconclusive. those forecasts are suggesting that both the block that opposes mr netanyahu, wants to oust him from government, and the right one block to support them, neither of them have a clear path to victory. it is suggesting mr netanyahu has the political upper

hand, the horse trading that may now commence will give him the advantage, and already has been done i put out a statement saying this is a victory, in his view, for the right wing block and for his likud party. it has been a campaign that has been characterised as far as mr netanyahu is concerned by the coronavirus pandemic and the way in which in his view, he has sickle handily procured vaccines for israel. ~ . ., ., , tom bateman in tel aviv. joining me now is israeli pollster and political analyst dahlia scheindlin. he seems to be ahead, just come of the other parties. that is according to all the exit polls. who would the kingmaker be? it to all the exit polls. who would the kingmaker be?— to all the exit polls. who would the kingmaker be? it could be net tony bennett, because _ kingmaker be? it could be net tony bennett, because naftali _ kingmaker be? it could be net tony bennett, because naftali bennett l kingmaker be? it could be net tony| bennett, because naftali bennett is one of the few people has not made a firm commitment as to whether he would go into a coalition with netanyahu or not. many of the other parties have declared already they will or they will not go in this.

net tony bennett, however, is also said he will not sit under a government led by the nearest challenger, led by yair lapid of the yesh atid party, which has had a good second place showing. what is interesting as they could always be other kingmakers, netanyahu has become accustomed to find ways to peel off certain individual members of parties to top up the necessary numbers to reach 61 seats, and i should also point out that these polls are already changing, they are being updated as we speak, as some of the results come in and as the posters suggest they are findings —— adjust their polls, the netanyahu loyal block of parties is already down to 59 seats, so he may have to down to 59 seats, so he may have to do some of that fancy footwork to find additional support for a coalition, even if naftali bennett

in the supposed to make a position goesin in the supposed to make a position goes in with him, he may not have enough, so we're still looking at a very inconclusive outcome, the type we have had in the last three elections. we all hope it does not lead to a fit election, but it might be possible, and we have to be careful because one or two adjustments neither direction could change the way things go. listening to some of the _ change the way things go. listening to some of the earlier— change the way things go. listening to some of the earlier saying - change the way things go. listening to some of the earlier saying one i to some of the earlier saying one thing, the one person who has not won in this election is the israeli people again, bearing in mind there is such horse trading going on. what about the small parties that meet the threshold who might be close to getting that percentage, who could make a difference if they did? there's really only one party like that, one of the surprises of this selection, that party is the small party headed by mansour abbas,

represented the small islamist party, and he is hovering around four seats, and those foresees could be a wild card, but by most surveys he is not crossing the threshold yet. all that could change. one of the supers and things is the other party hovering close to the threshold, and there were a number of them, about four such parties, have not on the cross but appear to have not on the cross but appear to have done pretty well up till this point. we're talking about a small liberal zionist merits party and labour, both seem to have reached not only four but seven seats, which would be a significant rise —— the meretz party. also on the far right, on the far nationalist religious right, we have a party called religious zionist, made up of supremacists and homophobes, who have been doing pretty well, around seven seats as well. i think it is probably because the turnout was lower than last time, which tends to

favour smaller parties, but they have all done better... can favour smaller parties, but they have all done better. . .- favour smaller parties, but they have all done better... can i 'ust ask ou have all done better... can i 'ust askyou a — have all done better... can i 'ust ask you a final, i have all done better... can i 'ust ask you a final, very i have all done better... can i 'ust ask you a final, very brief h ask you a final, very brief question, because we are running out of time? what would happen if he gets back in with a strong coalition? with this chick the corruption allegations out of court for the time being? —— with this kick? for the time being? -- with this kick? ., for the time being? -- with this kick? . ., , ., , , ., kick? that means to be seen, i do not think he _ kick? that means to be seen, i do not think he could _ kick? that means to be seen, i do not think he could do _ kick? that means to be seen, i do not think he could do anything - not think he could do anything immediately, but most think he would continue to undermine the ability of the dish area and specifically the attorney general, and if he has a strong coalition, he is better place to do that. it is hard to say whether he can fully stop the proceedings, considering the trial has already begun, i think in the most extreme scenario, some people think that he would try to replace the attorney general altogether, find himself a friendly attorney general, who might somehow drop the charges, but that seems a little bit far—fetched. we should also number the current attorney general was a

netanyahu appointee, so he would have to find some but who is not only an appointee but a loyalist, and i think that scenario is possibly far—fetched, although some would say it is possible. it is hard to stop a trial that has already begun. to stop a trial that has already beuun. ~ ., �* ~ ., to stop a trial that has already beuun.~ .,�* ~ ., , , to stop a trial that has already beuun. ~ ., , , ., begun. we won't know the results for several weeks. _ begun. we won't know the results for several weeks, it _ begun. we won't know the results for several weeks, it seems, _ begun. we won't know the results for severalweeks, it seems, dahlia - severalweeks, it seems, dahlia scheindlin, thank you very much for joining us. scheindlin, thank you very much for “oininr us. . ., . president biden has called for swift action on gun control today, after a shooter killed ten people at a supermarket in boulder, colorado. this latest mass shooting comes after a gunman killed eight people in atlanta last week. police in boulder have now charged a 21—year—old man with ten counts of murder. the bbc�*s sophie long has more. a crowded grocery store in the city of boulder became the scene of the latest deadly attack on innocent americansjust going about their business. terrified shoppers and workers scrambled and were led to safety. ten people between the ages of 20 and 65 didn't make it. they include eric talley,

who was the first police officer on the scene. the father of seven was shot while trying to protect the community he'd served for more than a decade — a community now torn apart by tragedy. we feel these losses in our bones, some of us more deeply than others, but all of us are agonised by this tragedy. there will be time to come to pursuejustice, repair damage, seek answers and pursue remedies, but today, we remember, we appreciate and we honour the lives of those who were killed. at the white house, where flags are flying at half mast, president biden urged congress to take action. this is not and should not be a partisan issue. this is an american issue. it will save lives, american lives, and we have to act. we should also ban assault weapons in the process.

i'll have much more to say as we learn more, but i want it to be clear — those poor folks who died and left behind families, it leaves a big hole in their hearts. and we can save lives, increasing the background checks that are supposed to occur and eliminating assault weapons. this man, 21—year—old ahmad al aliwi al issa, a resident of a suburb of denver, was taken into custody with leg injuries. an investigation is now under way, with officers at local, state and federal level determined to find out why this act of violence was unleashed at a neighbourhood grocery store. there had been a lull in mass killings during the pandemic, with last year seeing the fewest such attacks in more than a decade. but now, another american community must come to terms with the agony of another mass shooting. sophie long, bbc news.

"it is massive and it is devastating" — that was the assesssment today from the un after a huge fire at the rohingya refugee camp in bangladesh. the desperate searches for loved ones is continuing. at least 15 people have died, at least 400 people remain missing and 115,000 have been displaced. rajini vaityanathan has the latest. each pillar marks out what was once a makeshift hut. these smouldering remains are all that's left for thousands of refugees — this cramped and congested camp now reduced to ash. this woman lost her home in the fire. "my two sons are missing. "i'm looking for them everywhere," she said. the massive blaze started in one section of the settlement on monday afternoon but soon spread. refugees ran for their lives.

rohingya muslims who fled a military crackdown in their home, myanmar, over three years ago, once again on the move. many families have been separated. ngos believe the death toll will rise. this woman has been searching the camp with one of her sons, trying to find her six—year—old mohammed, who's been missing since the fire broke out. "i don't know whether he's dead or alive. "i'm missing him a lot," she said. "please, god, help me find my son. "i just want him back." close to a million rohingyas live in the world's largest refugee camp. already in dire poverty, they're once again struggling to survive. thousands are now homeless. aid agencies on the ground say it'll take months for the refugees to rebuild their lives. i think that the fire is a continued symptom of the larger deterioration within the camps. it's three years on, this is a protracted refugee crisis,

obviously a failure of the international community to find a solution. the rohingya are the world's largest stateless population. with the ongoing military coup in myanmar, they can't go home anytime soon. with their temporary homes now destroyed, their life in limbo continues. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, delhi. we can go to cox's bazar and speak to sanjeev kumar kafley. he's head of delegation in bangladesh for the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. just looking at the images there and the devastation, those hundred missing, there cannot be much hope for them being found alive. hello, can you hear me?— for them being found alive. hello, can you hear me? yes. i wasjust can you hear me? yes. i was 'ust sa inc, can you hear me? yes. i was 'ust saying. looking i can you hear me? yes. i was 'ust saying, looking at i can you hear me? yes. i was 'ust saying, looking at the i can you hear me? yes i wasjust saying, looking at the images, there cannot be many, much hope, for all those hundreds of people who are still missing? it is

opposed to changes to laws around protests were challenged by police, resulting in 12 injured officers and a number of arrests. police sought to disperse several hundred demonstrators who had gathered in the city centre to protest about anti—trespass legislation which the protesters claim unfairly targets travellers. throughout the evening, the police have urged the protestors to disperse peacefully, after they began to set up tents this afternoon. protests are not lawful at present because of the pandemic. how much planning went into the world's biggest lockdown? today marks one year since india announced sweeping measures affecting its entire 1.3 billion population. but how much did the government prepare for the event? jugal purohit from the bbc�*s hindi service has been investigating. it was a lockdown that spurred an exodus. millions suddenly found themselves out of work and stranded without support.

as trains and bus stations closed, entire families with their belongings walked back to their villages. many had little food or water for the journey. to stem the flow, government tried setting up camps. police resorted to harsh measures. special trains had to be started. translation: i would prefer death to reliving such an experience. - we were packed like sheep inside trains, and then they kept yelling at us to maintain distance. the authorities were simply not prepared. how is it that the state of purohit�*s so unprepared for the covid lockdown? after filing several hundreds of freedom of information requests, we have now learned that india's sweeping lockdown was implemented without consultations with health or economic officials, or, for that matter,

even alerting the local governments. affecting over1 billion people in such a short span of time, it was called the world's biggest lockdown. but our investigation shows prime minister narendra modi did not attend a single meeting with india's national disaster management authority before declaring the lockdown. so were the other key departments consulted? we filed freedom of information requests with the prime minister's office as well as the health ministry. they were both transferred to india's home ministry, which repeatedly rejected them. it said the information we had requested related to india's strategic and economic interest and was thus exempt from disclosure. angelique works to promote transparency and accountability in government. what could possibly be secret about these consultations, and which cannot be shared with the people of the country to them? lack of transparency in taking

such big decisions go against the very grain of democracy. the government's top adviser says everyone was consulted. translation: idon't. think it was not planned. we knew about it, we discussed it, and then it was implemented. the prime minister spoke to everyone. the speed and scale of this pandemic has proved to be a challenge for all countries around the world. but as our investigation shows the lack of planning for india's lockdown, many will now be asking, "could they have planned it better?" jugal purohit, bbc news, delhi. the uk is also marking one year since its first coronavirus lockdown. the country has seen one of the the highest death tolls in the world. in commemoration, parts of the uk's skyline have been lit up in remembrance of those who have lost their lives in the pandemic. i'll leave you with some of the images with music

hello. the weather is looking decidedly mixed for the rest of this week. there will be spells of sunshine, but there will also be some showers and just briefly at the end of the week, some of those showers are likely to turn wintry, as we see a blast of cold air during friday. but in the shorter term, this frontal system greets us on wednesday morning, really dragging its heels across england and wales. a band of cloud and patchy rain which will sink very slowly southeast, not getting into the far southeast corner until later in the afternoon, but behind it for wales and northern england, things will brighten up with sunshine. northern ireland and scotland will see a mix of sunshine and heavy showers, and then some more persistent rain swinging in from the west during the afternoon, accompanied by a strengthening

south—westerly wind. temperatures will range from seven or eight degrees in northern scotland to 13 or maybe 14 across some parts of eastern england. through wednesday night, our first frontal system will clear. this next band of rain will push southeastwards and we see another packet of showers pushing in across northern ireland and scotland by the end of the night. most places will stay above freezing, one or two prone spots could just get a touch of frost. thursday, it is a classic sunshine and showers day. some of the showers will be heavy and thundery, most plentiful across western and northern parts of the uk. and it will be quite breezy out there as well. top temperatures quite respectable at this stage — 10 to 13 or maybe even 14 degrees. but those temperatures are set to drop as we head into friday. this cold front will push its way eastwards. that will take some rain with it. some of that could linger first thing on friday.

behind it, notice a lot of showers, and some of them will start to turn wintry because the air will be turning much colder. you can see those speckled showers, especially across northwestern areas, some sleet and snow over higher ground, flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder as well. equally, there will be some sunny spells, and it will be quite windy, especially gusty around the coast and over the hills, and those temperatures will struggle, maybe into double digits for a time across eastern england, but more widely six, seven, eight or nine degrees, but it is only a brief cold spell. temperatures will lift again through the weekend. some rain, especially in the north and the west, drier further south and east.
