rally was targeted the president himself was not home and the business owners too scared to open their shops we look at how xenophobic violence in south africa is undoing a decade of efforts to revive a former slum in johannesburg. and bring coffee it's good to have you with that to night it is too close to call in israel and it's now just about 2 hours since voting ended in the country's 2nd general election and was then a year most exit polls for addicting a very tight result between incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his biggest rival the centrist former army chief but he guns netanyahu tried to form a coalition government after elections back in april but he failed amid a disagreement with ultra-orthodox or. parties even plunged into israel into months

of uncertainty by dissolving parliament and calling for fresh elections rather than allowing another candidate to try and form a new government. our let's take the story out of the w.'s on ukraine where she is in jerusalem she's monitoring the results as they command can even see you telling us it's a late night for such a close race between looks good and the centrist blue white party what does this mean then for the formation of a governing coalition in israel well as he said i mean all the polls that that published tonight the exit polls that were published tonight see no clear winner so far and obviously we have to wait and see for the results of the votes are being counted as we speak and if you do have for example the. exit polls from the channel 13 risk if. one blue

and white a lead to $33.00 seats over the likud which regain only $31.00 and all the others in the same direction so that blue and white is actually in the evening those exit polls except for one of the pose of the public protests. as a tie you know it means when you look at it you look at the different blocks and as you said we need. we know would need $61.00 seats actually to form a coalition but benyamin netanyahu will sort of it. to those polls he would come between $54.57 seats but also blue and white would make it up to $61.00 seat so at the moment the picture is unclear and there's no clear winner yeah and if it stays that way are we looking at a possible 3rd alexion this year for israel.

well that's always a possibility but there's a sense here that you know israelis wouldn't like to see a 3rd election. and 3 heard just a few moments ago victor lieberman head of the israel bettina party and he. penned out the scenario of a unity government he actually said you know israel isn't in what he called an emergency situation and it needs to be a broader a wider government that could mean possibly a government of likud blue and white and possibly isro detain you i mean these are you know the early hours we really have to wait and see for the results now coming in of the whole process then because the president then has to task you know the person the candidate his things that's most suited and has more chances to form that coalition that it's part of the whole process in israel isn't it the deal making them and the new bring in stranded making what is the

future for prime minister benjamin netanyahu after tonight and you know obviously i'm talking about these corruption charges that face him. we must very interesting tonight that you know from all sides it's rather subdued atmosphere i mean everybody is here you know waiting to see you know and waiting you know for the votes to be counted and to see what kind of action results it's going to be an office for prime minister netanyahu his opponents have said you know he wants this reelection you know to get immunity from this possible indictment his green dykeman hearing is actually set for the beginning of october so that it's not really far away but it's still to say you know the means are really have to wait now which parties will form this coalition whether it will be
