most of the votes counted depend to me netanyahu looks set for a record fifth time as israeli prime minister and less indians have already expressed concern that it will lead to further lines violations in the occupied west bank. the british prime minister readies her plea for another extension to breaks it in brussels as the clock takes down towards friday's no deal deadline. and war stories slams for rewriting history as it continues to reject russia's involvement in the memorial project at a former nazi death camp in poland. a

very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me in the care and top story this hour with almost all the ballots counted israel's benjamin netanyahu looks set to win a record fifth term as the country's prime minister the final result is not yet in though on the incumbent right wing leader will still have to form a coalition alliance or despite that netanyahu has declared himself the victor. oh this is a night of tremendous victory i was very moved that the nation of israel once again and trusted me for the fifth time already tonight i have started talks with the heads of the right wing parties are natural partners i intend to be the prime minister of all israeli citizens right or left jews and non jews alike all israeli citizens it really would need something outrageous to happen for him not to be able

to form this coalition he's likely to get sixty five seats out of a parliament comprising of one hundred twenty so that gives him a better majority than he had in the previous parliament where he stood with sixty one this will mean that his back will be less against the war he will be able to perhaps move a little more clearly and not be choked by those in his coalition who are putting demands on him that he perhaps doesn't want to get to the election is largely seen as a kind of referendum on netanyahu and he sort of me is perceiving the result which is the strongest showing that his likud party has ever achieved as a nod that he's in the right direction that israelis appreciate his efforts israelis wanting to continue in the premiership is a lady being put in a coalition together for the last few weeks some of it behind the scenes some of it in front of the scenes he courted a lot of controversy for reaching out to a very far right racist group at the same time however it could take at least a month if not longer for him to solidify his coalition it is important though to mention that there was

a very strong showing from his main rival the former israeli defense forces guns who for the first time has come forward with a political party and like party now they are neck and neck with him in the polls but they are likely to form as major a coalition as netanyahu but what this does mean for the prime minister is that you have a more united opposition he won't perhaps be able to act so freely you also need to face the american president donald trump deal of the century there trump is likely to oss can call consolations and of course don't forget the corruption charges that met on. who faces this is new territory for israel what will happen when in fact he is indicted if he is indicted when those charges come forward that could take a long time but at the same time it will be a headache over the head of the prime minister the arab community here in israel which numbers around twenty percent of the population is internally divided and also at the same time there's a sense of despondency in terms of how arab israelis view the potential for elections to change they say when i travel to election polls yesterday particularly

in arab neighborhoods there you having people who actually turning out and they say that they feel that there needs to be some kind of change but there was a call by many arab leaders arab citizens to boycott the elections it's very fluid at this stage we do expect though that the polls that the exit polls that we're looking at now really are not going to change regardless of when those final results come in steve linda an editor at the jerusalem report magazine told us that despite netanyahu is apparent victory the israeli premier is that to face the major challenges in the coming months. just before the election the prime minister came out with quite a controversial statement that he planned to annex settlements in the west bank and that clearly put him on the right side of the political spectrum ultimately this was a vote of confidence in the tourney and that there is still a presumption of innocence he still has to have a hearing and the whole process of indicting him could take if he is in fact

indicted could take a long time and i think that the presumption of innocence for most israelis is that he is innocent until proven otherwise so it remains to be seen what happens he will of course if he is indicted be the first sitting israeli prime minister to be indicted and that too will be an interesting development. after a final quizzing in parliament britain's prime minister is off to meet what could be an even tougher crowd in brussels to raise a maze going there for an emergency summit to plead for a break that extension until june thirtieth the u.k. is divorced from the european union is that this point settled for friday or live to our european correspondent peter all of that is in the in for us now peter take us through the possible scenarios here. well as theresa may heads to brussels this summit she's going to be asking for an extension we understand until the thirtieth

of june the problem with that is not a lot of people in europe are interested in those type of short term extensions before heading to this summit on tuesday she was here in berlin meeting with chancellor angela merkel she also went over to paris and met with president marc kroll and we can only presume she was putting forward another type of argument to them to try and get them on side with her there was no word out of either meeting of what's being read ghost but what i can tell you is that the idea of an extension until the thirtieth of june doesn't go down well with many in. european union. no experience so far as well as the deep divisions within the house of commons give us little reason to believe that the ratification process can be completed by the end of june in reality granting such an extension would increase the risk of a rolling series of short extensions and emergency summit creating new clifford's dates. diplomats i've been speaking to been saying that they want to have an

extension of let's say a year which would give the opportunity for say the united kingdom to hold a general election also potentially a second referendum and it's that one year extension it's also being floated really by donald the the e.u. council president now he's been talking about what's being called a flex tension you always have a lovely name for the state of things in europe it's not a piece of fitness equipment it's a one year extension of article fifty which if the united kingdom could come to terms with the deal it's on the table and they could agree to that well they agree to that at any time during it they break off the deal they break off the union and the u.k. and the e.u. go their separate ways in an orderly fashion now it is highly likely that theresa may will come away from this summit on wednesday with an extension of some sorts but it's not absolutely guaranteed in fact we've heard some comments from money went back on the french president over the last ten days or so saying that britain

is really going to have to bring something to the table if it wants an extension now a lot of these comments from there are really designed for the internal french market where he's struggling in the polls and wants to portray himself as a tough strong global leader but some of them are really genuine concerns that have been voiced by the elites a palace that he wants conversations from the united kingdom if they're to be granted an extension now in the last few hours just before we head into the summit we've heard from the chief spokesperson of the. rypien commission he said everybody's read the letter that to reserve me has put forward everybody is prepared to ask questions about what she intends to do what she hopes to do but really this meeting on wednesday in brussels this is now or never time if it comes to britain getting any further extensions to to the break that deadline as it stands the u.k. set to leave on friday afternoon friday evening. and really it is getting to that

point where by many of the european leaders senior figures within those countries they're all getting very sick of breaks that there's a whole load of other issues that really need their attention beside from you know internal political squabbles between the british labor party in the british conservative party and they're saying now put an end to this rigmarole and let's move on with something else. evil we can perpetually live with an everlasting break is it some point there has to be an exit so i think that the british authorities the british parliament really need to realise that the european union is not going to be able to constantly exhaust itself on the vagaries of british domestic policy . so far absolutely nothing has changed but there is an endless readiness to keep talking about delays to a landscape there is no substantial progress on the british side the first. if you

remember the u.k. was supposed to break this on march the twenty ninth they were granted an extension then and that was the reason the reason was because the deal that to reason may have negotiated with the twenty seven other leaders and members of the european union well she just wasn't able to get it through parliament now she's been told by the european side this is the deal it can't be changed any of the way however three times that's failed to go through the house of commons. and there isn't a consensus for any plan to be put forward so far so this really is a crunch time for to reason me and it does leave the country in a position that it feels like i've been saying this for months and months and months where we talk really know what the outcome is going to be but it will end up ultimately being one of three it would seem to reason is granted an extension in which she's allowed to able to bridge which britain's able to come up with a solution in the exit in an orderly fashion or article fifty itself is called off

essential cancelling breaks it which comes with all of its own problems as the no deal breaks it which despite legislation it went through the house of commons just this week it was signed off late at night by the queen on monday evening is still a possibility now that's the worst case scenario for everybody the european side don't want the british side don't want and it's the thing that everybody is really trying to avoid. hate i'm so grateful you're keeping on top of the twists and turns of gregg's it for is that he's all over in berlin. now diplomatic dispute is brewing over the construction of a memorial museum at a former nazi death camp in poland or still has rejected several requests from russia to take part in the project eliciting an angry response from moscow and ina garten of our brains is not. some a bore was a nazi run killing center and an intense secret very few survived to average

taliban scream course. another unit arrived once they were already undressed they apparently understood where they were being taken naked and all in fear they ran away but where could they run everyone rushed to the bulk walk fences and there they were met with the fire of machine guns and rifles many people died from the bullets the rest were driven into the gas chambers the fires were burning into late at night that's all flames illuminated the evening black sky with its terrifying lights the whole camp and the surrounding territory.

like thunder the screams of people rolled over the death camp six hundred people exhausted yearning for freedom rushed forward sheltering her a in this single impulse the jews of russia and. the netherlands and from the czech is a vacuum in germany united it was only then that the tower guards realized that something was wrong in the camp and opened fire. unlike auschwitz there is nothing left of sabi bore the extermination camp was destroyed by the nazis after the uprising and trees planted to conceal evidence it ever existed but there is concern that key part. if as history are now being over look at the group this is a matter for the whole of europe to rule in the so people come. russians french

and lots of people from other countries and that's what you know this pain the loss of people who were tortured there and died so that we never repeated the polish government started construction plans back in two thousand and fourteen for a new visitor center at the site of the former death camp russia says that it was unfairly sidelines and the design of the museum especially as a soffit soldier was behind the here roid group fault and escaped for sabi war the committee behind the project includes representatives from slovakia the netherlands poland and israel as the construction of the museum moved forward to paul and opened the betting for those who wanted to take part in setting up the museum interior but again all three obligations sound by russian museums all private entities were not approved by war sell polish russian relations are complicated and

certainly when it comes to world war two they were complicated so i think the poles rather take control themselves of the narrative they're afraid of the russian narrative and they also don't want to give russia too much credit for liberating poland you can use history as a weapon and the poles haven't weaponize in history as a as many people have been doing some may call it historical amnesia some like paul ince ministry of culture and national heritage say a logical decision the international steering committee maybe now to mississippi continuing the cooperation between its current members who have already worked together for ten years in order to smoothly complete advance works on the new moon morial site the cultural standoff aside as high time average one as remembered for their suffering and bravery let me remind you of something where seventy thousand verses of the liberation of the auschwitz. death camp was observed in poland. putin was not invited and given the fact that liberated by the red army i mean

this is quite quite outrageous i would say so what we're seeing now is a continuation of this policy which is trying to. keep the russians out of participating in any. effort to present the history of sobibor and the suffering of the of the inmates there and the horrible mass murders that took place there coming up after the break we'll have the latest news on developments from around the well to steve in just a minute. but politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected.

so if you want to be president and she. wanted. to go to beatrice this is what the three of them can't be good. i'm interested in the why. when triumphs american foreign policy at its core isn't really about furthering national interest is there an ideological foundation that is the driver we're told it's all about democracy or is it really all about power and the purposeful denial of agency and others on the international stage.

welcome back wiki leaks has claimed its co-founder julian last fall and has been the subject of a buying operation since two thousand and twelve saying the u.s. has orchestrated it correspondent and he says that he is in london for a song that has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in the u.k. all the time what is what he makes claims here. well tensions have been escalating over the past few days off to wiki leaks tweeted that julian assange could be expelled king at a press conference in london with leaks heads teryn chief says there's been an extensive spying operation against julian assange within the embassy itself this material gathered contains gigabytes of recorded video and or d.m. material and photos as well months ring a songes every move and every visitor now these documents were shown in the press briefing there were also copies of legal notes from his lawyers and also video

recordings of doctors assessing a songe and taking blood except let's take a listen to the wiki leaks editor in chief about what was actually obtained. earlier it's been living you know sort of. treatment sure like. what we have to step this is that security cameras we used to. use every move. i'd like to share it with the truck administration. now if you'll familiar with the truman show. where the truman show is where truman's every move is watched and recorded and now this was a will and covets because the documents and legibly emerged in spain and we used by a great peer contacted we can leak some threatens to publish them citing their own

tens and conditions. two weeks ago we learned that some individuals in spain. where a passing around the information that they had much of tour over with documents relating to julian assaults that got a. email back from the individual identified himself as pm. where he said that this material. has a price the prize is from three million euros it was photographs of julian and so at the embassy this it to us lopes for the photographs. then we can weeks editor in chief decided this was a matter for the police a full investigation has been opened some is currently being handled by a legal team who say this is a serious extortion case now since present in the press briefing as well.

jennifer robinson was present as well on the team explained that these secret recordings are against someone who is being wrong to diplomatic asylum and full protection by the ecuadorian government now since president moran i took power in ecuador a song on the president's have had rocky relations now this is referring to the corruption scandal regarding an offshore accounts in panama that something that the president said that could go house denies that wiki leaks in the press briefing also denied any involvement in the publication of this and they also reminded press that sanchez had all his communication cut off now here's a reminder though now of a sanchez most famous revelations.

now saunters been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy since two thousand and twelve off a seeking asylum that off to swedish police wanted to question him and the allegations of sexual assault with lots of investigation they're having drops a son she now faces charges in the u.k. for violating bail conditions they're all safe as they are that he could be extradited to the usa the publication of u.s. classified documents over wars in iraq and afghanistan but following this new discovery this demonstrates exactly how much. surveillance julian assange is and with his lawyer saying it's a huge violation of confidence and a violation of privacy as well. and this is that they thank you for those details speaking to us live from london but we're now going to return to one of our big if

stories this wednesday the u.k.'s prime minister is on the way to brussels to attend an emergency brigs that meeting so reason may we'll be asking you need us for another extension to the withdrawal period but the blogs leaders are expected to reject her request for a short extension and instead propose a lengthy a delay to the process or joining me now live is it go around jonas welcome to the program sir an economics professor at lancaster university do you see all twenty seven e.u. leaders agreeing on a longer extension if we're talking about another year what concessions could brussels demand from britain for instance or briggs that is something that could be damaging in the case of a no deal not only to the u.k. but also to many european countries on the mainland in the european union particularly those that do a lot of trade with the u.k. so all ireland france germany the netherlands denmark and so on do a lot of trade with the u.k.

and no deal situation be very damaging for them so the likelihood is that the european union will agree to extend the article fifty process and so there will be an extension maybe of a few months maybe of up to your talk of the psyche of a flex by a long extension is given but if an agreement is reached whereby the u.k. signed that with all agreement leaves the european union within that time then the length of the extension could be cut short in order to allow that to happen for some of the e.u. are calling another short extension just totally pointless i mean just to reason may have a chance of getting our house in order before the end of june. she's failed as we all know three times to get the withdrawal agreement through parliament there are no discussions going on between the government and the labor opposition party in the k.

and there may be something to get out of those they're discussing particularly issues surrounding the customs arrangement that would exist after a break sit so we've got within the political declaration some vague terms of a customs arrangement that may mean that there would be free trade between the u.k. and the european union after breaks it or it may mean something tighter like a customs union and labor is very much demanding a formal customs union there's some people within the government would be attracted to that and people such as the de facto deputy prime minister david livingston has argued that the political decoration is talking very much of something similar to a customs union built on the northern ireland backstop arrangements that are within the withdrawal agreement but others such as liam fox the foreign trade secretary is arguing that it's really a free trade agreement that we're after with the ability to make outside

independent trade deals with third party countries outside of the european union and the u.k. so a lot depends on the nature of those discussions and how they pan out whether an agreement can be brought within the time that the extension allows. you to cross the all the latest that go wrong jonah a professor of economics that lancaster university thank you very much. while that's the latest update for you on r.t. international if you have something you'd like to say then do follow us on social media anywhere your comments that join us again at the top of the hour for the latest. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the pope the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to surf on fields where everything is familiar on the other a want of a new challenge and

a fresh perspective from time used to surprising. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you can think i was going to the. by the way ways of the fly here. u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there are already several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circular defenses officers were got back and destroy their governments and in seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and

willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort or uneasiness for. not after times are we going underground as judges rule on u.k. involvement in massacres in yemen and the u.k. backed israeli army prepares for elections. after the detention of the younger brother a palestinian icon head to me days after she appeared on this show coming up will british judges tomorrow think this was a serious violation of international humanitarian law and stop to resume allowing
