champions league group stages kick off by in munich begin their quest tonight. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us the future of israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu is hanging in the balance this morning partial results from the country's election show the race is still too close to call with the blue white party of centrist benny gantz tied with netanyahu so far neither side has declared victory. speaking to his supporters in tel aviv opposition leader benny gantz stopped short of declaring an election when. but his address had the tone of a victory speech for his blue and white party. if he had not sold the cording 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 a go shish and to assemble a strong zionist government and to prevent a dangerous antis are in a scholar 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 fresh elections despite predictions of fodor 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's election with netanyahu and his right wing blog failing to reach a 61 seat majority. let's go straight to jerusalem now and bring indeed tanya kramer following this for us good morning to you tanya a very close result a tense result we're still waiting i can benjamin netanyahu survive this battle for his political future. well this is sent him an israeli

under list and also in the media that this rerun of the elections has really weaken to substantially he fails again you know to get 61 seats he needed to build. a coalition with other smaller parties out of the 120 knesset's it was his goal you know to be able to form a coalition of right wing national religious coalition clearly he feels upset at that but again there is also at the moment a sense a wait and see the because also of course blue and white cannot form easily a coalition there only unofficial results at the moment we're still waiting for the preliminary results coming in and then we will probably see more. talks in the next hours of talking as we wait for those final results and then you know who's rival bank balance has said that he will not be entering any coalition with netanyahu if

his party still has not as a slate or now to remain in power would look who drop netanyahu. well i think that is a question it's been too early to also mean there have been some reports before the elections you know talking about you know what's going on within the likud because i mean the scenario is well there you know if that happens what will happen to the head of the likud and to prime minister netanyahu so that but a lot of likud members who asked that and they're all so far pledged loyalty to a prime minister netanyahu because they say it's still too early to talk about such a move but of course it would be much easier to form such a unity government without benyamin netanyahu because as you rightly said many guns has said they would go into a unity government but without netanyahu ok now one of the stunning results of this election was for all that door lieberman's secular nationalist party had his done

very well is lieberman the new kingmaker in israel. potentially is the new kingmaker he already was the cause that last time the condition building failed for mr netanyahu both have been very very close i know is over the past years but they fell out started all with illegal men stepping down as defense minister and then after the elections in every didn't join the coalition and he did very well in these elections he already said last night that he wants to see a unity government with israel between his party could and blue and white and you put down also his demands so we have to wait and see how those talks will continue talking thanks very much for that from jerusalem where we're still waiting for the final results in israeli elections. let's review known some of the other stories

making the news this hour officials in the us say they have evidence that saturday's attacks on saudi arabian oil facilities originated in iran the unnamed sources told reuters news agency that the strikes involved drones and cruise missiles secretary of state my phone pay was on his way to saudi arabia to discuss possible retaliation. clashes have broken out in ecuador's capital quito after lawmakers voted against decriminalizing abortion in cases of rape police responding with tear gas when angry protesters tried to tear down barack around the legislature. women in ecuador who obtain an abortion facing prison sentences of up to 2 years in. the teenage climate activists credit turned bird has been meeting with u.s. president barack obama who helped broker the 2015 paris climate accord he praised her as one of the planet's great environmental activists. to unburden said to take

part in friday's global climate strike in new york. or european commission president john claude youngers says a deal to ensure a smooth british exit from the european union is still possible but that he is warning that the risk of a no deal brax it remains very real and it addressed to the european parliament and straws were younger repeated his call for london to present realistic proposals to replace the so-called irish backstop arrangement in their divorce agreement the parliament is due to adopt a resolution later today calling for britain to be granted another extension to agree to terms for its withdrawal. did have used a max hoffman joins us now from strausberg for the very latest on this where the european parliament is meeting today good morning to you max it can you give us the

take away from what's happening today in strong's burg. the 2 main messages from almost everybody who's involved in the negotiations of gregg's were 1st of all no deal scenario and no deal brags in the 31st of october on the 31st of october is becoming increasingly likely that's not a surprise but maybe surprising to some is that john code you are the head of the e.u. commission also said he thought a deal was still possible and that is the man who met boris johnson the u.k. prime minister on monday we don't know a whole lot about that meeting and with don't go don't go you never know if you still has a card up his sleeve but as you mentioned the problem remains the insurance policy against a hard border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is part of the european union and really no details there what a solution could look like ok no details max but could that mean that that there

might be a chance the you could take a step towards boris johnson and renegotiate the brics a deal all over once again well all over certainly not if they touch something in the withdrawal agreement which they have always rejected by the way it would only be the backstop on the only really solution that is being sort of floated in brussels is to limit the scope of the backstop it would be a play couple to all of the u.k. but only to northern ireland i don't want to get into the details but the man himself include younger head of the e.u. commission can probably explain all this what the backs up is for better than i do . the backstop is designed to do 3 things 1st of all to avoid a physical harm only on and on and secondly to safeguard the integrity of the single market and the place of god and in the market and sadly to

protect north-south cooperation and the whole. economy which is absolutely crucial to stability and peace in ireland and indeed and try and in the good friday agreement. now max if there is any kind of last minute deal say it is on the backstop for example well the e.u. still have time to ratify it before october 31st which is approaching very rapidly we talked to some problem in terry and here because don't forget you know strasburg the last word is up to the e.u. parliament they will have to give their thumbs up in order to make this work and they said there is no time left to make all of this happen until the 31st of october not even taking into account that the house of commons so the juke a parliament even isn't even in session it's on a force vacation forced by boris johnson the u.k. prime minister so that doesn't mean it won't happen if they do find a solution at the last 2nd for example at the meetings of the leaders of the

european union so you counsel at the end of october then what we expect to happen is a technical delay of bragg's it or a technical extension for a couple of weeks to get this done but that would only be technical and that's probably something that the u.k. prime minister boris johnson could very well sell it even to the brags that hardliners ok max thanks very much for bringing us up to date from strasburg. it's in south africa now a surge of anti foreigner violence is taking a toll on south africa's biggest city johannesburg now that's in addition to an economic downturn that's already 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 there. the johannesburg in the city has been rocked by truths of violence hanging mobs looting and destroying

anything in the park with foreign owned businesses feeling the brunt of it and there's nothing that just about. any form of this conflict between south africans and before and this does so. that what did it with criminality rather than see a flip of the prism of whatever it is the thick has been devastating on mother nature. in a city hub for tourism culture cuisine and entrepreneurship. this is what the damage looks like and there's a big crowd of. people just thrown stones bricks businesses have seen a significant drop in visitors since the unrest began. putting serious pressure on the hospitality and tourism sector is which rely on the city's estimated 5000000

annual visit is. how are we going to sustain this to investors with the sort of the chaos that always worries me that lowest prices melt police have increased their numbers on the ground conducting raids and patrols across johannesburg we want to make sure that paint and last time their people read with a shop so it doesn't happen again or it doesn't spread at all at the areas we would be remaining in the hot spots or in our the areas that we affected until we are sure that everything is there to not know my. analysts argue the damage is already done this 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 eat on sidewalks restaurants and go up 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 as they've been calling me they cannot come and collect the stuff some of the ice that has been damaged so boarding is never going to be the same again. although authorities claim the situation is slowly normalizing the un wrist has already cost $12.00 lives in the city of gold remains on age. the state of news still to come on our show the champions league is back we'll find out what awaits byron munich in their group opener tonight and also take a look at yesterday's action. but 1st it's reliable and it's cheap plastic is king when it comes to food packaging in the philippines

but the country is now choking on plastic waste is not alone there and it's an eyesore in public spaces and on coastlines one town on the outskirts of manila has decided to tackle this problem hands on officials have found a way to motivate people to pick up plastic waste. one man's trash is this woman's treasure for on a candle or a coke can soon turn these plastics into shoed the 49 year old is not a magician. this is how the transformation happens veronica collects and brings garbage to officials of the buy in on village. for every 2 kilos of plastic she gets a kilo of rice through a program introduced by the local government in june. i weighed in at 14 kilos of waste so i got 7 kilos of rice.

as this is a big help for us to let him to have one kilo of rice for the day. the waste will then be passed on to the country's national government either for proper disposal or recycling the villagers captain says the initiative has been effective and cleaning up by another. is it again maybe. it's the wrong system because some people just don't take the initiative when there's no incentive. this is what we saw during so they can have food and something to call. the philippines is one of the biggest ocean polluters of plastic in the world the country uses around 48000000 shopping bags every day that's on top of millions of other types of one use plastic bags scenes like this are all too familiar to veronica it's an eyesore she says.

it's so dirty all this waste that if i could i would pick up all the plastic along the road wherever i see it when i go out for a walk i bring my bag and pick up garbage whenever possible. but even if the number of collectors like for ana is increasing the root of the problem still persists plastic is everywhere. it and. this is really how products are best packaged today well that's why there is so much plastic what i'm going to that's why there's so much waste because every product we buy every day is in these things anybody not this battle haven't found anybody. but organizers say the plastic for rice program is already bringing positive change opening an avenue for people to properly dispose of their waste. for on a cause hard work has paid off and now it's time for

a good meal. ok we have football now the champions league last night european competition kicking off with 2 german clubs the holders liverpool in action jonathan crane from forces a warning jonathan only dortmund in barcelona they were the real centerpiece last word 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 and sometimes they were good and this one was a good one so from the start got a bit of a boost actually psychologically because lena messi boss learned 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 thought i don't know goalkeeper. stayed in standing in their way he made several really good set save to deny goldman's many occasions them out the captain and he missed a penalty marker royce staved by test steak and 10 minutes into the 2nd half it looks like it actually went in there but it didn't stay you got them really low and

clawed it away now he's been involved in a bit of a war of words with germany goalkeeper manuel neuer about who should be the number one choice to stay very frustrated he's been on the bench is really state his claim for a place in germany a team the number one goal keeper with that performance meanwhile we have some real contrasting results didn't we for the holders liverpool and for the bundesliga leaders yeah liverpool 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 final and then were punished by not play this go too late goals great 21 win for the brain as legal leaders. 2 goals for team over now he can't seem to school for germany but he can't stop scoring for light sake and the one of the bolts and then incredible wins for the other red bowling sides so they thrashed gang 62. that 1st appearance in the champions league group stage for 25 years

a hot. brown hole in what's out for the name because he could be a star of the future and play liverpool next i don't think you are. looking forward to that one. scoring at the moment well done sulzberger you know let's look forward to tonight's action you know who are behind munich taking off you know that's taking on the red star belgrade home in munich so. it really should be the easiest match of the group stage for bind they haven't started their league season well and they do have an injury and defense by ends tonight for their champions league opener has been far from smooth a 11 draw with this legal rivals the leipzig at the weekend also so defended david injured that means veteran jerome botching 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 at bahrain 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 for 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 against light sick. leave he likes to play the number 10 role that's his sweet spot 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 exactly how and if could cino will fit into 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 a tottenham. jonathan there are some real strategic questions for by night it hasn't had a great start to the season what do you expecting to see out on the field against red star world despite those the parent problems i really expect nothing less than a win as there with a red star all the weakest team in that group they're sending them into for by munich off this match wrist i did actually play in the champions league last season as well in the group stage they were all full of away from her and then lost all 3 of them matches conceded 13 goals in the process but they did manage to beat liverpool higher when i think they were off the map as well you want to sometimes how live report even won the final but they got there and they won the record by and they will it's no small feat. you know they do have some quality about them by and of course we'll be looking to that star striker robot for go with because he's been the bright spot really in an otherwise uninspired start to the season they've

drawn 2 in the league so you'd be a bit surprised if he didn't get on the scoresheet at denny's or to 7 in the brain as they go this season ok you're calling a buyer and when do you want to put some points on the yeah i mean i still think we're in this one quite easily 3 no maybe even 4 nil of course if they don't then the pressure will be on that coach curve at the on in the season there is some history as well between these 2 sides red star be by munich all my way to the final of this competition in 1901 which they damn well maybe on penalties a great win for them back then so there's a very good history for red star going into this is should be so we'll see if those 3 points work out maybe will be for jonathan thanks very much. trends in contemporary african fashion are being showcased in a new exhibit here one aim of the curators is to present a fresh view of the clothing. creations from the new generation of african designers. the final touches are made shortly before the opening.
