1:03 pm
tell us the groups of migrants were driven here for free in buses provided by turkish police in istanbul many used rubber boats to make it across to the greek side they said greek soldiers took their money and their mobile phones and brought them back to turkey. but also have no idea what the place is doing a what's happening between turkey in europe we don't deserve to be treated like this where people to us here on the turkish side of the border anger and frustration is growing one migrant says everyone is aiming a weapon towards europe and using the people here as ammunition. our correspondent yulia hina is following the story for us on the turkish side of the border with greece. can you bring us up to date on what's happening where you are how the migrants coping with the situation. well it's been 5 days since turkey gave green light to refugees and migrants to leave for the european

union and since then thousands have gathered here along the greek a border it's a very long border 200 kilometers long i'm in the tucker village of doran right now at the river that's the river running along the border and many people are waiting here or they are camping here they're hoping they're still hoping to somehow make it and crawl to the other side you can see the trees that behind me that greece people have set up a makeshift shelter. very many families with children the children are trying to play with whatever they can find but people also tell me it's quite tough for them especially during the nights when it's cold they say they don't have enough to eat not enough to drink even though we saw some volunteers distributing bread a little yeah and some people many people as we hear have already left the area
1:05 pm
they are heading back to the towns and cities where they came from here in turkey but these people here right behind me about 100 or 200 people they are determined to stay. a lot of the migrants who have tried to go into greece they have been met with with tear gas water cannon i mean what effect is that having people say they want to return oh. well the greek gods have used matters to keep people away as you said they have been using tear gas quite frequently the main border crossing not far away from here but that border crossing journalists have been sent away so it's very difficult to tell right now what's the situation like over that they have also used water cannon people now and that's basically the reason people kind of know when to other areas along the border like this one so they're hoping. to make it across this river but then again once a arrive over that some people here told us people's phones are being taken away
1:06 pm
and their money and they're being sent back here to tacky so whatever way they're trying to find it's dangerous and it's risky and they might end up back here in target it's a dramatic situation and the turkish government is now saying that the e.u. should expect millions of migrants coming its way can you tell us more about that. well that's present add on ramping up the pressure on europe. we know what he wants he wants international support for the situation there in italy where his troops are fighting syrian regime troops and he also 102 share the burden of posting all of the refugees he says turkey has taken in nearly 4000000 people from syria and there is another 1000000 waiting at the border he says we call and deal with it anymore so he's now trying his chances he's keeping up the pressure and sees what you're all about what the european union will do next. correspondent yulia han

flooding 4 people died and thousands were forced to abandon their home during the storm water and mud levels rose above one meter in many homes. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu looks to be holding on to a solid lead over his main rival with most of the votes counted after monday's parliamentary election but it also appears that his likud party and its allies are likely to fall short of a parliamentary majority to form a government official results are expected later today. so. this is the night of the giant victory. netanyahu is victorious and so exit polls were announced it wasn't clear whether his alliance of parties would get the most votes his opponent benny gantz leader of the centrist alliance did not concede defeat but he didn't sound that upbeat music we saw the lowest campaign in the history of israel where many lies and slanders were spread against us and me personally they
1:14 pm
thought i would get frightened they thought i would blink and i'm telling you i did not and i will not netanyahu supporters were pleasantly surprised. because it's a story like. that but i think that. it's likely netanyahu will be given a chance to form a coalition for an historic 5th term but it's unclear exactly how he'll break the deadlock this election was called after he tried and failed to get enough support last time around netanyahu campaigned in the shadow of a looming corruption trial which is due to start in 2 weeks his victory to cement his reputation as israel's most durable of politicians. all right let's bring in our correspondent tonya kramer she's standing by for us in jerusalem hi tiny and good to see you as reach that this is the 3rd election in israel in under a year what are the results tell us this time around what is different compared to
1:15 pm
the last 2 elections. why i think what's different this time issue compared to the elections and a call and in september that benyamin netanyahu and the likud there have to come full to the lead and that gives him some kind of momentum to really go ahead and go and to build a new coalition but of course as you said in the report as well is that he still falls short of one to 2 seats. we are not yet sue about the final counting there because the results the final results are expected sometime later today and it's a very narrow margin so we have to wait whether you need to look for one or 2 seats to come over that magic number of 61 seats out of 120 knesset seats to be able to form a coalition government what is the perspective there i mean can he really break the deadlock and form a government. well that's
1:16 pm
a big question now what discussed in is about himself to set in this victory speech overnight and he wants to form a broad a stable. national government maybe leaving the door open also to other coalition partners we understand that he will meet today already with those smaller writing carty he said have already said they want to go with him into a coalition but he has actually only a few options because other parties like the israel bit tainui lieberman who it was always considered to be the king maker and also of course blue and white with any guns they have always said they wouldn't sit in the government with netanyahu as the prime minister they would sit that they could but not with ben you mean that and you know who because of his upcoming trial and his indictments so what will be left for him unless they make a compromise he could form and narrow right to being a coalition government but then still he needs some kind of defectors maybe those
1:17 pm
one or 2 seats from other factions that would go over to his likud party or to another smaller right wing party tanya this political impasse i mean what impact has this all had on voter turnout. but there was a lot of talk of doing the election campaign but also on election day that there's a vote of the team i think that concern may need the complaining because people have told me no we've heard everything no new political messages it's all about whether you are for or against and netanyahu but the voter turnout was one of the highest for the past years definitely higher than in april and september that actually shows you that i think israelis wanted to see an end to this political deadlock that they wanted to see you know that some kind of government can be formed although we don't know whether this will happen soon about certainly they
1:18 pm
were interested in going out to vote and 10 years quickly and on benny gantz you know why did he who was the hope of israel's left not succeed in winning these elections. mark think this election was always about a vote for or against netanyahu now you can say that the likud has a comfortable majority but still the margin to blue and white is relatively small so you can also say that you know half of the israeli public still wants to see someone else at the helm of the next government and then benyamin netanyahu so i think the big question will be we have waiting the beginning of a trial against netanyahu he will appear in court in 2 weeks and i think then it will shift you know from the political issues also to the legal issues benyamin netanyahu all right our correspondent tonya kramer reporting there from jerusalem thank you. to the us now democratic presidential candidate joe biden has gotten
