in the studio now is d.w. reporter maya schweitzer who's reported for us from israel it looks like this result is too close to call and walk us through some of the possible outcomes in our years here where well there's a lot to digest the sense that neither of the big parties managed to get to 61 votes 61 seats in the parliament on their own what they have to now do is coalition building which means of course your eye turns to you what. the biggest parties are sort of 2nd and 3rd on the list one of those is a secular right wing party called. led by avigdor lieberman this party was in coalition up until earlier this year when it decided to leave the coalition and that's what precipitated this whole thing really in the 1st place and they have said that they are looking for a unity government now this is not unprecedented in israel's history would mean that all the top 3 parties would govern together however at the top 2 parties are really need to lieberman to do that because they would get to see more than 60 se

and with me in the studio is my colleague from d.w. news africa christine morning to our christine it's nice to have you here so you are from zimbabwe you covered the all star who got the right into 70 and how does his death make you feel you know waking up to that news it was a shock you know i went through the phase a series of all the undoes especially as younger people who who didn't quite live in the colonialism so we already have a new democratic symbol was so we we didn't appreciate what he meant to our parents and the generations before because we didn't understand that but you know speaking to my uncles and my parents and hearing about you know the liberties and the freedom that they got from this matter i had to sort of engage that part of him and there was a side to mugabe that was chummy with tales of him before so there was a part of mugabe i grew fond of to an extent but looking at the brutality as a journalist having covered some of it i remember being in the country having to report i've never been so fearful in my life

let's get more on the weekends bundesliga actually we are joined here in the studio by ali we'll have talk you from d.w. sports and we might mean what has happened to the bundesliga powerhouses because they usually dominate this point and you see you i mean 7 years dong we've had by an domination but this could possibly be the year we finally have a team come and overthrow by a new nick and that would be of course really great because it would just take away the boringness and the dullness of the bullets nneka with certainty i can say that this is going to be a 3 horse race so of course the usual by and but we also have dortmund in the mix and like i say but this could still wait turned into a 4 horse race because we also have that team right there for high book in red they have somehow snuck into the top 3 and we will have more on that later and even by an coach. that has predicted that this is going to be of this going to be a 4 horse race you know a fight for the bundesliga title so i think in general we will we have this time around a very generous interpretation of the bundesliga title race ok sou

joining me now in the studio to talk us through rafael nadal's 4th u.s. open title is dave reneke from d.w. sports so rough around the dollar is the 2019 champion but was he also the people's favorite in new york i mean i think 1st of all fans were just ecstatic to have nearly 5 hours of tremendous tennis it was an amazing night and it all is always a favorite and he's beloved by the crowd in new york but i think his opponent medvedev had really an interesting progression from earlier in the tournament where he was seen as a bit of a bad boy often taking a combative stance against crowds but this match his mere comeback the way he pushed natal so hard the fans also showed him a bit of love too so it all came out on top of the fans seem to like both opponents so this new title leaves him just one short of roger federer's all time record do you think you'll catch him i mean at this point all is really just breathing down all of roger's neck is really close and you think it's just a matter of time but it's so it's important to remember that they're both still active as a joke a bit the other
