holland asked. city managed by for. this is deja vu news live from berlin israel's venema netanyahu fights for his political survival exit polls show the election in israel too close to call with netanyahu unable to secure a majority against his rival benny gantz both are urging patience as the vote count continues also on the show. weeks of anti foreigner violence in the south african

city of johannesburg are taking their toll both on the people and the city's economy. and germany's voters see adore him and draw with mighty barcelona as the champions league group stage kicks off byron munich begin their quest. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us the future of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is very much in the balance this morning partial results from the country's election showing the race still too close to call with a blue white party of centrist benny gantz tied with netanyahu so far neither side has conceded defeat nor declared victory. speaking to his supporters in tel aviv opposition leader benny gantz stopped short of the tearing election when. but his

address had the tone of a victory speech for his blue and white party. he had consulted mr according to the initial results netanyahu did not succeed in his mission. was enough and we on the other hand proved that our idea called blue and white a project we established just over 6 months ago is a huge success and here to stay. god said that he would not get to work on building a broad unity government. but speaking to his supporters at likud party headquarters prime minister netanyahu did not concede defeat he said he would also seek potential allies to form a government but one that excluded our parties. in the coming days we will convene negotiations to assemble a strong zionist government and to prevent a dangerous anti's are in

a scar meant. exit polls show the 2 main parties are neck and neck after 10 years and car benjamin netanyahu and his right wing likud party are battling for political survival. centrist benny gantz has ruled out a partnership with if netanyahu remains at the helm of the party. 6 months ago netanyahu failed to form a coalition government faced with losing party called special elections despite predictions of voter fatigue turnout has been the highest in decades. israeli arbs also voted in much higher numbers than usual exit polls indicate the arab list bloc could become the 3rd largest force in parliament with results this close israel faces the same situation as it did in april selection with netanyahu and his right wing blog failing to reach a 61 seat majority. let's talk about this more now with cason muller from the german council on foreign relations mideast program she was a junior minister as well and the german foreign minister thanks so much for coming

in this morning what's your take on what's happening in this election still too close to call. again the 2 blocs in israel are kind of neck and neck as we just heard but i think the really big news is that netanyahu fails to secure a majority he can't build a right wing government again and this is because of lieberman actually. he's going to be the kingmaker so gore lieberman filler viewers and a little bit on him he has you support represents a lot of russian speaking of voters in israel but this time not only russians because it's because voters this time he said very clearly he doesn't want a new government with the religious so i think a lot of secular voters voted. in favor of lieberman he could double he doubled his results so this is really a success though on the other hand i mean the alternative to right wing government

is unfortunately not the center left government because. there's a kind of to do that that will that there won't be a government with the arab israeli parties in the like they just worry well they did very well and i'm very glad that you know that the arab israelis went to the ballots but. there's this to do and i think in the in the future in the coming future the left has to rethink the strategy has to rethink this to boo because the left will never built to never be able to build a government with the arab israelis so the alternative will be a unity government. under way right now about a national unity government you see that is a possibility obviously it seems to be at the moment as we see the results it seems to be the only option and step off a right wing coalition there's only one well actually a big problem because. the opposition party which was so successful in this

election sat they won't build a government with bibi netanyahu this is why they got so many votes so they cannot absolutely cannot build a government with bibi netanyahu so this is a problem for likud they have to decide if they gonna kind of drop bibi netanyahu which it's going to be a problem ok so there's are discussions that perhaps look good would seek another leader drops bibi netanyahu option so are we seeing the beginning of the end of the era the age of benjamin netanyahu i am convinced this is definitely the the beginning of the end of the era bibi netanyahu we will see maybe this election maybe in the upcoming elections i think that the president rivlin will do everything that there won't be another 3rd round of election so there's that will kind of a big pressure to build a broad coalition to build a unity government ok so there will be no further elections on this and will

probably say care similar there's a possibility of a national unity government yes thank you very much for coming in this morning and for giving us your analysis. let's preview now some of the other stories making the news this hour saudi arabia has joined a u.s. led maritime mission to secure commercial shipping in the strait of hormuz and other areas the u.s. form the coalition after several times and will bankers this year washington claims on the run tehran denies the allegations. spanish voters will be heading to the polls again in november caretaker prime minister peter sanchez announced new elections after no party was able to form a government sanchez a socialist won the most seats in the polls election but fell well short of an absolute majority. south korea is calling nearly 5000 pigs after confirming its 2nd case of african swine fever near its border with north korea officials stepped up quarantine efforts on tuesday after the 1st case was

confirmed the diseases already decimated pink herds in china. the teenage climate activist gravitar and bird has met former us president barack obama who helped broker the 2015 paris climate accord he praised her as one of the planet's great environmental activists advocates she said to take part in friday's global climate strike in new york. well as to south african our surge of anti foreigner violence is taking a toll on that country's biggest city johannesburg and that's in addition to any downturn already badly hurting the country businesses are keeping their doors closed visitors are canceling their trips to one of the city's most popular areas because of the recent unrest. the johannesburg in the city has been rocked by choosing city violence angry mobs looting and destroying anything in

the past with foreign owned businesses still in the front of it and that there is nothing that just popped. in the form of this conflict between south africans and the foreign nation was sure. that what did it with criminality rather than see a phobia at the present moment when whatever it is the effect has been devastating on mother named in a city have put tourism culture cuisine and entrepreneurship. this is what the damage looks like and there's a big crowd of. people were just thrown stones bricks businesses have seen a significant drop in visitors since the unrest began. putting serious pressure on the hospitality and tourism sectors which rely on the city's estimated 5000000

annual visitors. how are we going to sustain this 2 industries with the sort of the chaos that always worries me that was tossing out police have increased their numbers on the ground conducting raids and patrols across johannesburg we want to make sure that their parent and last time their people with within a short space it doesn't like it or it doesn't spread to at the areas we would be remaining in or the horse sports or in our the areas that we are affected until we are sure that everything is there to not know my analysts argue the damage is already done the city is the most unequal in the world and it took a long time to begin to get people in the middle class to go and say on sidewalks restaurants and go out in the town and this definitely is a psychological barrier to continuing the reintegration of class and race you know

are awfully divided cities it's a tragedy and it's not only restaurants hostels bars and hotels feeling the pinch in a city commerce is taking a serious hit i just have this feeling they might come back my customers asking they've been calling me they cannot come and collect the stuff some of the stuff has been damaged so what we're doing is never going to be the same again. although authorities claim the situation is slowly normalizing the unrest has already cost $12.00 lines and the city of gold remains on age. this is the interviews live from berlin still to come on our show the champion's leaving link is back we'll find out what awaits environ unit in their group opener tonight and we'll take a look at well as well as all of today's action. but 1st the european parliament is debating the u.k.'s upcoming departure from the e.u. today the u.k.

says it will leave without a deal if brussels does not agree to its demands for brussels says the government in london has failed to put forward any alternatives and exit set for october 31st so times of course running out. was. how we miss all of this already but the house of commons has been sent on a forced vacation. thanks to this man boris johnson the prime minister of the u.k. so now it's up to a different parliament to try to sort things out. this one the european parliament at some point it will have to give a thumbs up to a regs a deal i know if there was a deal ok so if there is a deal in any case for each parliamentarians to agree that deal would have to

include certain elements but i think the most important things to backstop that to be protecting the interests of our member state island we want to ensure that no matter what the final political decision that the citizens' rights are respected. so citizens' rights and the backstop in the resolution parliamentarians also call on the u.k. to pay its bills before leaving but the real message here is unity. german conservative and portuguese socialist in complete agreement on bragg's it. i know it's really hard to believe when you're used to the british parliament. i'm grateful that you say what it means to speak meanwhile though boris johnson seems to live on a different planet saying things like this how this government will press on 8 with negotiating i do you well in the e.u.

that's not the general feeling. he's not trying to reconstruct everything he's pushing to a climax where it's a bad victory or about himself and this is i think deeply irresponsible and just makes me of course feel feel feel sad and that at least with their new resolution parliamentarians are laying down their plan for braggs it. that's more than their u.k. counterpart has done so far. ok we have some football now the champions league last night european competition kicking off with 2 german clubs the holders liverpool in action jonathan crane from did it was force it morning jonathan morning dortmund in barcelona they were the real centerpiece last night work day yeah it was really the pick of games and it didn't really disappoint even though it finished because sometimes in football they were bad no male sometimes there are no males and this one was a good one so from the start got a bit of

a boost actually psychologically because lena messi bosler and his best player didn't start the match he's recovering from a cough injury and they really were the dominant size but unfortunately they had buffalo you know goalkeeper. stayed in standing and their way he made several really good set save to deny goldman's many occasions them out mockeries the captain and he missed a penalty marker royce staved by test taken 10 minutes into the 2nd half it looks like it actually went in there but it didn't stay you got down really low and clawed it away now he's been involved in a bit of a war of words with a fellow germany goalkeeper noise about who should be the number one choice to stay get very frustrated he's been on the bench he's really staked his claim for a place in the germany a team the number one. goalkeeper with that performance ok now meanwhile we have some real contrasting results didn't we for the holders liverpool and for the bundesliga leaders leipsic. the reigning champions as you say they had a very tricky match in naples against napoli and they lost 2 nil they were very

sloppy in the finals that they were punished by not play this go too late goals great when they for the brain is legal leader has. to go with the team ivan and now he can't seem to score for germany constant scoring from leipsic and the one of the both and then incredible win for the other red bull side so they thrashed gang 6 to their 1st appearance in the champions league group stage for 25 years a hat trick in that one brow hole and wants out for the name because he could be a star of the future and so play liverpool next i don't think you're. looking forward to that well done so scoring at the moment well done sulzberger you know let's look forward to tonight's action you know who are buying munich they're taking on the red star belgrade home in munich so. it really should be the easiest match of the group stage for bind but they haven't started that league season so well and they do have an injury can defend by ends tonight for the

champions league has been far from smooth a 11 draw with pundits legal rivals be leipsic at the weekend also so defended david. that means veteran jerome but is back in the lineup captain manuel neuer remains confident. jerome is always given his best he's played well and has a lot of experience i've been applying with him since 2011 and i'm obviously glad to have had him on my side all these years. and feel very safe with him in defense . another challenge full buy in is way to play philippe continue the brazilian playmaker has had a stuttering start to the season with no goals so far and only came on as a late substitute sick. leave he likes to play the number 10 role that's a sweet spot. i will try to give him that chance. he will give it is all

offensively as well as defensively. i know that if he gets to play tomorrow. he'll perform well. but for exactly how and if the chino will fit into nick coco that just game plan remains to be seen by and would do well to start the champions league campaign with a win in a group that aside from a determined red star team also includes last year's run as up talking him. ok just it was all those questions about strategy for biron what do you expect well i expect nothing less than a win as i said a red star probably the weakest team in that group so it's only going to hard for biron right started actually play in the champions league last season they were awful and they were away games they conceded 13 goals and 3 away matches but they did manage to beat liverpool so you know they can pose problems and i said by how

it really set the world on light in the british league as they fall this season they've played for only one to draw in the other 2 they'll be looking for that stuff striker robert level stay for more goals he's already scored 7 in the bonus league of the season really the bright spot in the otherwise uninspired stuff so yeah you'd be very surprised if he didn't manage to get on the scoresheet again this evening ok but did beat liverpool you mentioned i mean i mean they have a they have a shot there they could put up a strong fight you still calling and you know i would go by i would say you want me 3 no 4 now and i think you'll find find a rhythm then they're going to release the interesting thing out of these teams do have a bit of history read about great did make the champions league final then the european cup final in 1901 they lost on penalties to must say but they beat by and on the way to that final ok so there's some history in the background there as well jonathan crane thanks so very much coming in today w. sports. when i was something very fishy chile is now the world's 2nd

biggest exporter sound in the country's long coastline means there's plenty of room for expansion in that industry but environmentalists and labor unions say it's booming fish farms bad news. here off the coast of chile is the natural habitat of dolphins says fisherman luis one yes but it's a different matter with salmon millions of them are farm here it's a booming industry that doesn't look as if it will slow down anytime soon he told me they're going to pull the big problem is that the extra salmon feed just sinks to the bottom of the sea the same goes for the fishes feces so those mussels have brought down more than a me today. that this sort of. what i would assume. the salmon feed is delivered in white sacks the pellets contain soya rapeseed and vegetable oils and all vegetarian mix but antibiotics are added to it at levels that are $500.00 times higher than in europe. and although the salmon comes from the northern hemisphere it is being bred

farm and processed more and more frequently here in the south she lay is now the world's 2nd largest exporter trade unionist cortez criticizes the conditions under which salmon is processed. you know what i'm going to name you didn't we work in a climate of fear. there's a constant threat to be fired if you don't you can stand. over time voluntarily. but i mean that's a sort of a. lose my arena so to work for 8 years in a salmon factory then she had an occupational accident and could no longer work you need for you i turned around in a container with 150 fish was rammed into my back after that i don't remember anything else i passed out later i asked my boss if he could take me to the hospital he said what do i care. lose money not receive no compensation and

no severance pay because she was only a seasonal worker in the factory you are as you know i can't work any more and i'm only 60 and i only get by because my children bring me food. to me. she lies salmon industry has come in for a lot of criticism the minister of economic affairs understands this and promises things will get better. it that we do to. some an industry is still in its early stages they breed a species from the northern hemisphere here in the south. all of this is relatively new in chile so we're learning as we go along. we make corrections when we see negative affects but the end of the day we export a lot of salmon. we do to get through to you know be the review though the industry seems to be thriving environmentalists complain that after storms salmon escapes rise 520008 total of 700000 fish and plant their cages just another negative effect

of the salmon farming industry. or people are often looking for ways to relax now a town in western germany has come up with a truly novel idea they're offering stressed out city dwellers time with house service is proving popular cuddling a cow is proving a good way to come down. lying around in a meadow no appointments. just. doesn't like the sound of that. we could learn a lot from cows according to melanie ashman she's convinced our bovine trends could be when it comes to lowering stress levels for overall what city dwellers lena a care worker and merrick a schoolteacher have come to check it out they might be young but they're both pretty stressed. cows are my favorite animal and so mark said come on let's check
