here's our middle east corrspondent yolande knell. after a high turnout, exit poll suggests that israel's former prime minister, benjamin netanyu, is in position to take the rains of power again. but no matter what happens, his allies on the far right are jumping forjoy. la rg est n ot the third largest party. not long i know, the leaders of icing ! efliéfl'i; the. lgsjigfr’s’fif” ” zionism known as religious zionism known as racist and extremists were on the fringes of israeli politics but this election has seen them transformed into key players. with his eyes on a cabinet post, this man tries to look like a conventional candidate. but this is him last month, can flaming tensions at a flashpoint in eastjerusalem by

results no earlier than thursday afternoon, israeli time. there is still time, things could change, although it does look like the trend we saw, the pattern we saw that benjamin netanyu does have the lead, and that his block does have a majority, 62 seat majority over the 120 seats in the knesset is holding so far. it could change but right now it is looking that it will go in that direction. if it is looking that it will go in that direction.- in that direction. if it is confirmed _ in that direction. if it is confirmed that - in that direction. if it is confirmed that he - in that direction. if it is confirmed that he is i in that direction. if it is - confirmed that he is coming back to power, is there an uneasy about his alliance with the religious far—right group? there is great chinese. there is great alarm. — — great unease. around this issue and it is not clear how it will work out. it created the structure of religious zionism, combining all of these forces

that are and hi arab and anti—lg bt and radical thinking and he's now facing consequences of what he created himself and it remains to be seen how that will play out, how it will work, and how that will fit into governing in the coming weeks. it will take time to form a coalition. it may take a few weeks. but if they do have a 62 seat majority, that would not be a great hurdle to overcome. it is looking like it, if this remains so, the new government will be established with benjamin netanyu and the radical right within a few weeks. �* �* . . , radical right within a few weeks. �* �* . ., , ., weeks. and we've already heard from the palestinian _ weeks. and we've already heard from the palestinian prime - from the palestinian prime minister saying this election proves that they have no peace partner, again, we are still waiting for the official result. we are now seeing live pictures of benjamin netanyu

peaceful demonstrations will always be welcome, but our methods cannot be those of the left, which have always harmed the population, such as invasion of property, destruction of heritage and restricting freedom of movement. joining us now is professor graziella testa who is politics professor at fgv university in brasilia. she is in rio dejaneiro now. what did you make of bolsonaro's short speech? i think all brazilians were expecting this speech 48 hours before and we were expecting that he would recognise that his adversarially won the elections. but thinking about who is jair bolsonaro and what he has said today, i think it

is good news for democracy that he is not isolated his supporters on violent acts and we can now start to think about a democratic transition to the next government. the election was very close. _ next government. the election was very close. can _ next government. the election was very close. can lula - next government. the election was very close. can lula unite | was very close. can lula unite the country and with the senate still rather split, can he achieve anything?- still rather split, can he achieve anything? yes, i very aood achieve anything? yes, i very good question. _ achieve anything? yes, i very good question. when - achieve anything? yes, i very good question. when he - achieve anything? yes, i very| good question. when he came into government for the first time he did a very good job building the government. this time, things were very different, especially with regards to the budget process. the budget process needs to be very concentrated in the executive and that was the main resort they had, building

coalitions with the legislative. nowadays, the budget is in the hands of the legislative, so this relationship between the parties are not that simple. the president doesn't hold the resource anymore to build this coalition. nevertheless, lula is well for being a very, he is good at working with different people. so i think he will have a hard job, especially in the senate. but in the chamber of deputies there is a lot of room for people who are in the centre centre—right, or if they are not that ideological. that sort of parliamentary behaviour which is called central in brazil, i think it is the best chance for lula to be able to

there hit 4,000. they were taken to a hotel near heathrow, where they got off the coach carrying blue plastic bags of belongings. tonight, one of those at the hotel, ahmed, who left manston yesterday, described the difficult conditions he'd endured there over three weeks. ahmed is not his real name. he wanted to remain anonymous for his own safety. translation: i slept on the floor. a lot of people were there. in one big tent, there were maybe 130 people. it was cold, we can't go to the toilet, we can't take a shower, take a bath, we don't have any clothes. we are not animals. you can't eat or sleep, and i couldn't call my family to tell them i was ok. it was like a zoo. the makeshift processing centre at manston is about 20 miles from dover. up to a thousand migrants were supposed to stay here for about 24 hours to do their initial paperwork. the chief inspector of prisons said conditions in the centre were ok injuly, but as the number headed

towards 4,000, it became horribly overcrowded and some migrants have spent a month sleeping on the floor. what we are saying to the home office is, really, get a grip. because of the concerns that have been raised by a number of sources, we have actually decided that we will return to the site and reinspect again in the near future. the immigration minister said the number of migrants at manston had fallen substantially today and the home office was doing everything it could to return the centre to sustainable operations. what we have to do at manston is ensure that it returns to a well—run, compassionate, humane site, which can manage around 1,000—2,000 individuals. at the moment, it's got significantly more than that. we're working intensely now every day to reduce that population. natasha and her family live 50 metres from the manston fence. she told me she is concerned that she now finds herself living next to what

is almost a prison. my children go out and play in the street. if they decide to break out because they've got nothing left to live for, god knows what could happen — if something like dover happens or they decide to have a riot or a break—out. the numbers being held here at manston are starting to reduce as migrants are moved away from here by coach. but ministers still seem unable to reduce the numbers crossing the channel in the first place. sunday's firebomb attack on the migrant processing centre in dover is now being treated by police as a terrorist incident. the suspect, andrew leak, took his own life at a nearby petrol station, but searches of his home in high wycombe have revealed a hate—filled grievance may have been behind what was a targeted attack. the high winds and rough seas in the channel today meant there were no migrant small boat crossings,

bringing some short—term relief to a system that successive home secretaries have now described as broken. daniel sandford, bbc news, dover. you're watching newsday on the bbc. let's bring you now some breaking news with reports from japan and south korea of they believe they have fired three short—range ballistic missiles that at least two were fired, one more on you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we speak to the republicans who say the 2020 election was stolen, and who are running in the us midterms. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin,

the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested and an extremist jewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing. at polling booths throughout the country, they voted on a historic day for australia. as the results came in, it was clear, the monarchy would survive. of the american hostages, there was no sign. - they are being held somewhere inside the compound, _ and student leaders . have threatened that, should the americans attempt rescue, - they will all die. this mission has surpassed all expectations. and itjust seems to keep on going. tonight, we prove once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals.

this is newsday on the bbc. i'm mariko oi in singapore. our headlines: exit polls in israel's election suggest former prime minister benjamin netanyu is set for a record sixth term. but his likud party would share power with the far right. brazil's outgoing president says he will observe the constitution — but jair bolsonaro avoids the words �*defeat�* and �*concession' as he finally breaks his silence. just days after taking control of twitter, elon musk has revealed plans to help him recoup some of the $40 billion he paid for the social media network. he says he will start charging users who want a �*blue tick�* beside their name to indicate their account is verified. those in the united states would be charged $8 a month — charges elsewhere will vary.

but the plans haven't gone down well, as our north america correspondent peter bowes explains. it peter bowes explains. is a huge debate and that debate it is a huge debate and that debate is taking place right now on twitter. what exactly this means, what the implications are for ticket next to their name and it is probably worth describing in a little more detailfrom probably worth describing in a little more detail from the many people not on twitter what exactly that looks like, it but it shows that you are verified, you are who you say you are. whether you are a journalist, there is a technics to my name and a tick next to your name. whether you are a politician, whether it is a public department of where they give out information important for people to see and to be able to rely on. in los angeles, for

example, the lapd have a technics to their name and the information they tweet is reliable. that is why it is significant to many people. the big complaint and hotline operator, many people are complaining saying that they do not want to spend $8 a month just to get the tick when they so far managed the us is gearing up for a major set of elections next week. voters will elect members of congress. it's a cycle, which can change the balance of power for any sitting us president halfway through their term of office. the elections can have an enormous impact on the direction of the nation. the focus is on several key states — one of them being arizona from where our correspondentjohn sudworth sent this report. arizona's rugged landscapes speak to its place on america's old wild west frontier. today, though, it is the politics that is wild. some of the most corrupt

elections we've ever seen. with the state at the vanguard of the republican party's stolen election claim. you're across the pond and you think you know about our election. let mejust tell you... the audit showed biden won. let me just say one thing. if you think you're going to come over here and tell us how things are operating, you got another think coming. candidates who deny the legitimacy of the last election are now running for the job of administering the next one, with the power, potentially, to decide which votes count. you are still convinced that the result of the 2020 election was not sound? wholly convinced. had you held this position in 2020 and had the result of that election been on your desk here in arizona, what would you have done? well, first of all, make sure there were not votes

that were outside of the law counted. so this is the tabulation room where every single early ballot will be tabulated. it is a system under siege, with election workers facing death threats and deluged by allegations without evidence. one of the most preposterous allegations that you would think nobody would give any credence to but that built up a significant following and still has people that believe in, is that we took ballots from the 2020 election, we fed them to chickens and then we incinerated the chickens to cover the tracks. given all of that, how worried are you about the future health of this democracy? i am deeply worried. not everyone's glued to the politics, but it's never far away. arizona was once a solidly republican state but, like elsewhere in america, traditional conservatism is now grappling with rapid social change. the myth of this stolen election

is all about division and it suggests something fundamental is being lost here — a readiness to accept that people with values that you oppose could ever legitimately win a majority. anybody think we're not in a war? that this civil war hasn't already begun? but while far right groups make inflammatory claims of war, this meeting is sparsely attended and a local democrat candidate has even accepted an invitation to speak. the democratic process somehow struggles on, for now. in this state, though, it's clear how this country's politicalfault lines are deepening, and in an election in which democracy itself is on the ballot, the polls are close. john sudworth, bbc news, arizona. the world cup in qatar is just a month away. but now a group of former

that's all for now — stay with bbc world news. hello. well, the met office have confirmed that it was another very warm month across the country, and october in england was the fourth—warmest october on record. but quite alarmingly, we're now seeing some of the warmest conditions on record, taking the year as a whole to day. as for rainfall, well, we needed the rain, but it's only northern ireland which was significantly above average. but for the first few days of november, our rainfall accumulation chart shows that all of us will see some pretty wet weather. the darker colours in the south show some welcome rain to come here. but it's notjust wet, some windy weather, and especially during the next 24 hours. widespread gales

across the country, and in this hatched area, we could see potentially damaging and disruptive gusts of wind of 50—70 mph, all tied in with this approaching and deepening area of low pressure. now, before it arrives, a little ridge there which indicates a quiet end to the night. a few mist and fog patches, a lot of dry weather, just a few showers in the south and the west, but a rather chilly start compared to what we've been used to — 2—3 celsius in some sheltered glens in scotland. lots of sunshine, though, through scotland, england, wales to begin with. northern ireland cloudy, already turning windy, increasingly wet through the morning, some heavy rain at times sliding into western scotland and through the afternoon to wales and western parts of england. much of eastern england, though, will stay dry until later in the day, with some sunny spells. temperatures here around 15—16 celsius in the southeast, but it will feel cooler than that in the north and the west as those winds pick up. in fact, it's going to get windier as the day goes through. winds easing a little bit later.

into thursday morning, again down into single figure temperatures. milder in the southeast. and this is where the big question mark for thursday will be. the weather front may just drag its heels, bringing bursts of rain northwards and eastwards as we go through thursday, east anglia, the southeast, and the channel islands. some of those heavy towards the south and west, and the temperatures 10—13 celsius. feeling cool compared to what we've been used to, but that's where we should be for this stage in november and the sort of temperatures we'll see through friday and into the weekend. friday, the driest day of the week most widely. saturday, of course, bonfire night, rain will be pushing its way in and some strong winds, too. bye for now.

this is bbc news. we will have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour straight after this programme. this week, we are guarding
