this is news coming to you live from berlin down to the wire in israel it's the ties to mr brace's with both being candidates claiming victory in the election but incumbent benyamin netanyahu looks to have the edge to have all the latest on the first results what they mean for the country also coming up it's almost again britain's prepares to ask european leaders for a delay to break if they refuse the u.k. could crash out of the e.u. in two days time. they call him literally put the tropics brazil's far right

president. marks a hundred days in office look at how he's fair since taking the helm and latin america's biggest nation. plus prepare to be sucked up to now the only pictures you've seen of black holes for computer animation like this one but later today scientists will for the first time unveil the first real image of a black hole will explain why this is such a milestone. well i'm terry martin welcome to the program israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu appears to have secured victory in the country's general election with most of the votes counted he is running neck and neck with his main. and you're benny gantz of

the centrist blue and white party but netanyahu is in a stronger position to form a coalition with the support of a number of right wing parties across israel in a moment but first this report. pyrotechnics music finetune you know who when he took to the stage at the likud party event in the wee hours to claim victory. i am very moved that the nation of israel has once again given its trust to me. and done so for the fifth time. over move to. be were. they have again given their trust to us and to me. it's unprecedented. when did we ever get so many seats i don't remember going to get one looking to get a little money donated to move to. a fifth term would make netanyahu israel's

longest serving prime minister even surpassing the founding father of the jewish state. i have to voting ended exit polls appear to indicate a neck and neck race between netanyahu and his closest rival many cans of the centrist blue and white and not hands indeed around the time netanyahu made his victory speech dance was saying the same to his supporters. in elections that looses in elections that whenas and we are the winners so i put that optimism may have turned out to be premature as the night went on and vote counts came in it remained a close run thing. for the latest on the israeli election we're joined by dali a scheindlin a public opinion expert and political analyst she joins us from tel aviv danny at the election has produced

a virtual tie between the parties of benjamin netanyahu and benny gantz they may end up with the same number of seats in parliament and both are claiming victory is it clear who will get to lead the next government. it is absolutely not clear although it looks like it should be easier for the prime minister to form the next government mainly because the bloc of parties that identify with right wing politics is significantly bigger than the block of what used to be opposition parties we don't know exactly but may may well still be opposition parties which is center left of the arab parties that bloc of right wing parties seems to have won so far sixty five seats out of one hundred twenty which is a clear majority. if netanyahu does come out hold tall he won't have an easy time of it he's facing corruption allegations a probable indictment what can we expect from his fifth term as prime minister. well it's a little bit hard to know there is still so much up in the air i mean yes there

with relation to the indictment the attorney general has said that he will indictments on yahoo pending a hearing we don't know when that hearing will take place nor what will happen if he is in fact indicted afterwards by israeli law he is not obliged to resign if he's prime minister that the obligation to resign under indictment only holds for a minister in the government not for the prime minister so we don't know if the parties that go into coalition with him will all agree which something that he would like he would like them to agree not to build the coalition if he is indicted but that very much depends on the coalition bargaining. what does this election results told us about the direction that israel is headed particularly in relation to the palestinians and the search for peace in the middle east. well i must tell you that the way israel breaks down in terms of how people identify right left and center is largely around the issue of the israeli palestinian conflict and the

issue of security and the fact that you know more is really as identify as right wing by a majority by you know. a small but significant majority of voters of voting age that is clearly reflected in these in the in these election results so you know that's why we see this sixty five seat breakdown for the right wing and what right wing means in israel is that security comes before anything else first of all but it also in recent years has come to mean opposing a two state solution quite openly and all the right wing parties with the exception of likud because that who does not have a platform but all the right wing parties have essentially stated their opposition to a two state solution in various forms either by proposing different kinds of partial and excision or even complete an extension depending on how far right they are and likud has not published a platform but on the ground they have been implementing a sort of defacto creeping an exception of parts of the west bank over recent years

of course prime minister netanyahu in the few days before the elections indicated an intention to move ahead with an exciting settlements you know there's a lot of speculation about whether that will continue but it definitely doesn't look like israel is headed in the direction of a classic two state solution it's not even clear whether that solution is possible anymore thank you so much that was dalio shankland our political analyst in tel aviv. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today authorities in rio de janeiro say at least ten people are dead after severe storms hit the city some residents described the trench will downpours and flash flooding as the worst they've ever seen leading newspaper attack the government for not doing more to protect against flood disasters. the dalai lama has been taken to hospital in telly as a precautionary measure after appealing chest pain a spokesman said the eighty three year old is in a stable condition and has been ordered to arrest the exiled tibetan spiritual

a flexible extension of up to a year if there's no agreement britain could crash out of the block on friday night ahead of the meeting prime minister may paid visits to berlin and paris to plead her case. although she received a friendly french welcome in paris it wasn't easy going for it to resume a president. emanuel my colon is often seen as the european leader with the toughest demands made was lucky this time france softened its stance and said at the light within limits it was an option for the long awaited brags that still france and other european countries are getting increasingly impatient. we want to understand what the u.k. need this extension for and what is the political surroundings our own series a may to have this extension before her visit to paris may travel to berlin to ask german chancellor angela merkel about the extension but like many breaks that arrangements things didn't quite go as planned to resume a arrived

a little too early in merkel wasn't there to welcome her after the meeting merkel said breaks it could be extended to the beginning of twenty twenty but many european leaders are urging the british to provide more clarity. this was the call on tuesday morning at a meeting of a u. foreign ministers. and we are waiting finally for substantive steps in the right direction up to now has nothing at all has changed and we are of course thinking about an appropriate extension of the deadline and also about a longer extension i must however come with very strict conditionals on guns. with official visits to berlin and paris completed to resume and now has to brace itself for the upcoming emergency summit in brussels. for the very latest let's bring in our brussels correspondent band leader. mass in london

first to you then to tell us all of the e.u. member states united on giving theresa may more time to get the breaks that deal approved because just a couple of days ago some like france were sounding very reluctant. it stands now the e.u. is very united and also very very patient. visits to great britain because the does not want to take the blame for no deal of the hard breck said for britain crashing out of the you this is not our decision said that you negotiate a michelle a year or so mrs may will be offered a long extension to both nuns but britain can leave at any point but the two conditions attached first britain has to take part in the european elections end of may and britain has to ground a kind of

a sincere cooperation in this extended period this is a kind of a if you would say so a backstop for the e.u. this time to prevent any future prime minister to obstruct e.u. business and to prevent a spill of the k. as from the islands to the continent ok so a couple of conditions there being put forth in brussels over to you big leaders have said that any further extension the break that deadline also depends on london presenting a clear purpose for an extension does choice and they have a clear purpose or just a vague hope that parliament will eventually make up its mind. it's really more of a hope at this point she is talking to the opposition to the labor party and those talks are continuing but it's actually far from easy to reach a consensus because there isn't really a tradition here in the u.k. to work together to cooperate across party lines so that makes it quite tricky also

for treason may have selves she is really not in a very secure position we've had people from from her own party asking for a change in the party manifesto so that there could be another leadership challenge they don't want to see trees are made for them taking part in the european elections like baron mentioned and staying long in the us absolute anathema so really a lot to still up in the air at the moment entries are based position herself is really not stable at all. baggage from us in london and in brussels for cerebellum to be good thank you very much to you both. so it's been almost three years since the u.k. decided in a referendum to leave the european union but why did britain's vote the way they did here's a look back the u.k. has voted to leave the european union. these words left about fifty two

percent of great britain ecstatic and the other forty eight percent in shock not least prime minister david cameron his conservative party and the british people at large had always been divided over europe cameron gambled on a referendum to settle this question and assumed britain would remain the e.u. get out and win it on the twenty four the journey voted to thank you very much. but he was wrong. the leave campaign led by nigel france and the u.k. independence party fanned the fears of migration and open borders and this at the height of the european migration crisis for me to a place we don't want to go and pass by a driver who doesn't speak the very best of of english and the traditionally euro skeptic british media was also in the game many newspapers actively campaigning for early felt. on top of that came a general dislike for a european union perceived as slow they're

a critic expensive and dominated by germany and france. at my we've got so many bureaucrats in europe telling us exactly what we've got to do and when we've got to do it and i don't think we're right with govern our country anymore to be honest we'll have more money group pay for myself. and it'll unleash great form for printer forces within the country usually great for an average brit. really should get the right factor for separatism. after the referendum to leave a celebrated the victory of their lives. thank you very much very. good artist very. eager writer. and the man who set the ball rolling resigned. so we have a new prime minister in the building behind me by wednesday evening thank you very much. leaving it to others to try to reverse more than forty years of political and

economic union. it watching d.w. news still to come will the rush for the tourist dollars in cambodia destroy the very thing everyone goes to enjoy it while it's building this threatening the country's pristine beach. first to brazil where president. is marking a hundred days in office today the far right leader who's been dubbed the trial of the tropics for his leadership style has been dogged by chaos and blunders in his own administration observers say the euphoria that a company also nora's election win is fast. it was probably the highlight of his first one hundred days in office. didn't just visit his political i don't know us president donald trump in the white house they

brazil return to democracy three decades ago. astronomers are set to reveal what they're calling a groundbreaking development related to black holes information will be presented at news conferences in six different cities around the globe all taking place at the same time it's the result of years of work for the first time scientists will unveil a real image of a black hole one of the most mysterious objects in the universe. black holes they're like cosmic vacuum cleaners sucking up anything that comes to close any matter that crosses the so-called event horizon is gone forever. black holes are created when dying stars collapse in on themselves or when two stars collide and their masses merge. the gravitational forces become so massive that the matters into his think point called the singularity. black holes start small

but as they suck up more and more material in their path they can begin to grow and eventually become super massive black holes like the one at the center of our galaxy the milky way. with the mass and the gravitational pull of four million stars like our sun. so far astronomers have been unable to see the milky way's central super massive black hole directly they inferred its existence from the motion of the stars orbiting around it. the event horizon telescope has spent two years gathering signals from the black hole at the center of our galaxy the telescope is actually a global network of synchronized radio observatories the coordinated with atomic clocks to synchronize them and all that data is combined after the fact into what's called a correlator and that correlator as alternately produces data that can be constructed into an image and that image will be the first time astronomers and the rest of us

earthlings will have a direct visual representation of a black hole along with the powerful gamma radiation that it emits as it gobbles up matter a burst so strong and so final astronomers call it the death scream of a doomed stuff. getting down to earth soccer now in the champions league last night tottenham edged out english rivals manchester city one nil to gain the advantage in their quarterfinal clash tottenham keeper who set the tone with an early penalty save favorites manchester city failed to capitalise on their dominant position and. seventy eight minute effort was enough to deliver the hosts a first leg way of talking and celebrations were muted by an injury to star striker harry. last night's other quarterfinal saw a repeat match up of liverpool porto with the english side hoping to emulate last
