right and as a result of it we are stuck the question is where the 2 big parties a blue why and the likud may join together in order to have a unity government and this so far it has not happened it may happen in the coming $21.00 days that they have in order to choose perhaps a prime minister would you would you agree with that you'll see mek oberg due to the feelings of having to lieberman the blue and white and the could simply can't get together so where just where does the parliament go from here. well i believe if you're seafarers and fall it's a numbers game and the numbers don't add up you need to somehow to get to a majority all 3 of them i know to govern but we found after people not a war or ject on the opposing team in the knesset so all this is the this was the result of 2 elections not not one but the in the midst of the plot but there are subplots that influence it for instance different people of playing the if and games to serve their own political future and co you have the big elephant in the warmers of course the indictment of i mean he saw the potential indictment of

and likud are locked in because it's a yeah i was saying i'm going to be indicted even if he's going to be indicted everyone knew about it and he's the leader of likud and he's going to you know he's going to you know run the ship and he's going to go to elections if he has to and he's not backing down and he's not resigning at the same time blue and white was elected on a platform of no sitting with netanyahu if he's under indictment if he's indicted or he's going to be indicted or or until we know for sure so they can go back to their electorate and say we're willing to sit in a government with a person who's has an indictment and it's and now has no reason to join a government where you know he has to give up the prime ministership so it is a clash of egos to a certain extent but it's more of an ideology at this point which is pretty rare in israeli politics to see that they're sticking to something and not deciding where in this $21.00 days are we're going to be in this $21.00 days and in just a moment and this is where the activity is going to happen because every party has got

will the situation within likud change to a level where we may see some sort of uprising of likud memberss too early to say stop we did not see anything like that last night but another thing we did not see last night as the indictment became the national headline, we did not see each and every member of knesset and every government minister come to support neta nyahu every government minister come to support netanyahu which i think could be more important than the fa ct could be more important than the fact that they are not criticising him yet we are not seeing them joined the attack on the police and the prosecution which means many of them are waiting to see how it goes. and so is everyone. thank you very much forjoining us. in the us impeachment hearings, it was the turn of the president's former top advisor on russia to testify. fiona hill told congress that donald trump pushed a false theory that ukraine meddled in the 2016 presidential election. the house of representatives — led by democrats — is investigating whether or not mr trump improperly put pressure on ukraine to investig

in office now up until this point there has been relatively solid support within his own party the likud but today the very day that the indictments came down before they came down his prospective main rival get on czar said that if there were 'd a 3rd election he would want there to be a leadership election within likud before that to decide who would lead the party into the election next march which is going to happen if they don't resolve the situation in the knesset in the next 21 days the current crisis. and as well as that one of the local news channels here rang round senior figures asking for their reaction to what had just happened presumably seeking someone to support netanyahu and they were met with a resoundingly silence no one was willing to come on to the airways at least tonight to supporting ok and we're. more at the political implications in a moment with our political analyst mon bashar harry thank you for now just one here a little bit more from prime minister netanyahu now he went on to say that authorities went after the truth they were just off to him because look y

to end it unprecedented political crisis he says his party's willing to go into coalition with the likud but its leader benyamin netanyahu could have no part to play dances called on that in yahoo to resign following an indictment in corruption cases iran is restoring internet access after the government imposed a shut down last week in response to widespread protests and demonstrations followed the government increase in fuel prices by up to 50 percent. but the headlines the news continues after counting the cost stay with us. they don't believe in the 2 state solution still believe in the 2 state solution we

for the evening news and this was very much a message not just to the israeli electorate but to the likud party itself yes he spoke in that building just behind me here in the television expo center where he had an offer for prime minister benjamin netanyahu take a look at what you had to say. surely a call for unity government is a large as possible i would be the prime minister for the 1st 2 years while netanyahu can deal with his legal issues it's clear he can come back as prime minister this is the only way to prevent an unnecessary election. so the idea is that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be a part of the government but he won't have any ministries and certainly won't be prime minister instead what benny gantz is just thing is that he fights his court cases and then studies result that they can take a look at any idea of a power sharing agreement and anything that might take place in the future between the good and the blue and white party whether that's going to be acceptable to netanyahu remains to be seen but the entire game at the moment seems to be avoiding a 3rd

has offered a compromise to avoid a 3rd election this year he's proposed leadership with the rival likud party if prime minister benjamin netanyahu is cleared of corruption charges imran khan has more from tel aviv. well against time to statement perfectly full the evening news and this was very much a message not just to the israeli electorate but to the likud party he itself he actually spoke in that building just behind me here in the television expo center where he had an office of prime minister benjamin netanyahu take a look at what you had to say. surely a call for unity government is a lodge is possible i will be the prime minister for the 1st 2 years while netanyahu can deal with his legal issues it's clear he can come back as prime minister this is the only way to prevent an unnecessary election. so the idea is that the prime minister benjamin netanyahu will be appalled all of the government but he won't have any ministries and certainly won't be prime minister instead what benny gantz just thing is that he fights his court cases and then studies result that they can take a loo

does and the political pressure from within and without including from the president that then the likud would be able to form a coalition government with the next party blue and white party that gun sparty and the so-called national unity government then can go ahead with you know more than almost 70 seats in the knesset and v a lot of israelis wanted that except that blue and white party would not accept it while netanyahu is still on the 3rd scenario is that he will be indicted he is indicted he would resign and israel will still go to another election and then it all all all bets are in are up in terms of who will win and how because i think we could probably cut bits or hit by by this indictment to its leader not in the hour that's been basically their leader since 1996 in the you know in one form or another so i think it's going to be detrimental to him it might be also a blow to likud it's not sure but whatever the result is rochelle and i think that's an important point to make and by the way since september i said nothing i will not have a future to govern israel anymore but be

came in his main rival his main potential rival at least for the premiership for the leadership of likud has said that if israel does go to a 3rd election which it will if there's no resolution in these next 21 days then he wants to challenge netanyahu in a leadership primary and he's calling on other members of likud to see. support that so it's really crucial now the politics of all this is nothing you know able to fight off the political challenges is able to fight off the legal challenge to his own ability legally even to stay in the prime minister's office ok harry fawcett with the breaking news there prime minister benjamin netanyahu indicted harry thank you very much. at the same time the other world leader that is a potential legal jeopardy as u.s. president donald trump the impeachment hearings focused on him have been happening and washington d.c. the reason the room looks almost empty now is because they are on break the chairman adam schiff called a break so that the members of that committee who are legislators can go to the floor of the house and cast votes that actually ha

primaries in his own likud party in the next six weeks.s the latest political bombshell from israel, where people continue to reel, as they listen very carefully to benjamin netanyahu's words and can't help to hear president trump. when israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu defiantly denounced the criminal indictment against him -- >> translator: we're witnessing an attempted coup against a serving prime minister. >> reporter: -- it was as if there was an echo in the room. >> there was an attempted coup. this was an attempted takedown of a president. >> there was no mistaking it. >> translator: in this poison process, they never look for the truth. they look for me. >> this was an illegal witch hunt and everybody knew it. >> reporter: this is neither coincidental nor superficial. it's not just president trump's words that netanyahu is barr borrowi borrowing, but his tactics. >> we can never let this happen to another president again. >> reporter: netanyahu is fighting back trump-style. attacking rivals on the left and the so-called cro

likely in march next year he is calling for a leadership primary within likud and he wants to challenge netanyahu for the leadership so that's the politics there's also another key legal question is very quickly there is a difference of opinion as to whether the mandatory stepping down of an israeli minister if charged with a crime whether that also applies to israeli prime minister netanyahu obviously argue that it does not that a prime minister is a different thing from a minister but there is likely to be a charge or a challenge to that going to the supreme court so the supreme court may well have to rule on whether an of neo's even allowed to stay in office if we do go through our 3rd round of elections next march ok harry all thought what the breaking north out of west press on harry thank you very much. yahoo is not the only one head of state facing legal jeopardy or at least potential legal jeopardy us president on the focus of an impeachment inquiry the hearings have been in recess for quite some time the head of the television's committee the ranking member adam schiff called r

the seriousness of these charges he will be able to maintain his support especially within his own likud party up until now there has been pretty strong support from him within the could but just today the very day that the 21 day period has kicked off when the opportunity for forming a coalition government goes to anyone in the knesset the israeli parliament who can muster enough support on that same day get on star a senior they could figure has said that if israel goes to another round of elections he says there should be a leadership election before that within likud so that he can stand to be prime minister of israel not netanyahu this will only strengthen his case given that netanyahu is now on the record finally no questions. in this at all charged with an extremely serious crime such as bribery along with fraud and breach of trust ok . with that big breaking story thank you thank you very very much at least 8 people in bolivia have been killed during fights with police and the military who were trying to secure a fuel plant there's been an arrest since last month's election with

you see the likud ministers not defending trump. it turns out likud ministers, at least a few of them seem to have a little more spine, self-respect, and integrity than the entire republican caucus in the house and the senate where other than one exception basically are not ready to challenge trump. that may be a diversion in israel, but that itself might be a warning sign to trump as well. >> ian, do you think that as long as benjamin netanyahu is prime minister, he can't be unindicted. even if he were to go into a coalition government and become deputy prime minister, he can't be indicted. his initiative is to string this out as long as he can, maybe have a third election. if that happens, could he somehow overcome all of these problems? >> he's holding on by his fingernails, but it turns out he has really long fingernails. we're heading into a third election here, and they're even talking about a potential where there would be a unity coalition, where gantz and netanyahu would switch off but that would give netanyahu another year

and returned his mandate you before the midnight deadline were 2 months ago his party beat its rival likud which is headed by the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu as you can see though from the results there none of the 2 favorites gained enough seats to form a parliamentary majority and it meant that dance bazaar was tasked with forming a coalition government however a number of sticking points to get in the way of that will have a look at the some of them here dance refuses to cooperate with netanyahu at the moment claiming he's been in office for too long and is formed in corruption or the prime minister himself has also said is no intention of siding with his rival in addition to that the kingmaker door rejects both of them and insists on a radical overhaul of the entire system israel has been trapped in the current political deadlock since the 1st general election in april now the country is likely to face and i'm president of the election in the year we are split a calamitous mitchell barak how he sees the situation unfolding. what's happening is it sounds easy ok if we do

gideon sard is back on the scene and he's calling for a primary in the likud party.of benjamin netanyahu's supporters are staying with him. so far, he doesn't really seem to have much to lose if there was a primary. but, you know this is the first crack we'll say and listen, likud has to hold on to power. we have to end this kind of gridlock that he has. because listen, he's been indicted on three criminal charges. the first sitting prime minister to have done so. he's also, you know, facing these charges and he's unable to form a government. likud wants to hang on to the power and so his party is saying, you know, should we hedge our bets. >> yeah. will be two elections this year that have ended up with the results at -- unable to form a government there. and netanyahu the longest serving prime minister in israel. does it appear as if they'll get him to leave office at all? >> definitely not. i 3450e7b, look he's calling this a witch-hunt. he is blaming the police and the attorney general and now he's facing criticism within his into party. benny gantz also hasn't b

party to engineer it it's not a big chance or a big possibility but there might be some cracks within likud or cracks in the $55.00 bloc of the right maybe because the indictment now is final maybe there will be some cracks there this this could be the political influence of this indictment what's clear is that netanyahu intends to fight off all challenges to his position be they legal or political and if there's one thing he's learned in his decades in israeli politics it's how to survive are a force that al-jazeera west jerusalem. the united nations envoy for yemen has told the u.n. security council that the number of attacks by the saudi led coalition has dropped dramatically in recent weeks adding griffiths said the reduction in violence could possibly pave the way for an end to the conflict in the last 2 weeks the rate of that war has dramatically reduced they were reportedly almost 80 percent of strikes nationwide than in the 2 weeks prior and i realize that these are short periods but nonetheless it is striking and in recent weeks there have been entire 48 hour periods without air st

the khud party as well gideon saw is a pretender to these rallies throwing and he says he wants the likud party to have a primary election in 10 election and to choose a new leader and to move on with the process of forming a government so netanyahu under a tremendous amount of pressure right imran khan thank you very much. watching out there live from london still ahead the internet in iran is back online a week after the government shut down the service in response to a wave of protests. activists call for justice in the philippines 10 years after the country's worst political massacre. hello again welcome back to international weather forecasts where we have been tracking a storm system all the way from the atlantic now across parts of the mediterranean and into western europe for several days now you can see the clouds right here extending from the u.k. all the way down to the northern part of africa as we go toward sunday we're going to be still dealing with some very heavy rain and very gusty winds across much of this area the flood threat from northern italy to southern italy as we

the crew party as well gideon saw is a pretender to these really throwing and he says he wants the likud party to have a primary election internal election and to choose a new leader and to move on with the process of forming a government so netanyahu under a tremendous amount of pressure right. more still to come including how a student protest in india over commendation prices has raised questions about the affordability of a university education. internet in iran is back online and wake up to the government shut down the service in response to a wave of protests. hello again to welcome back well here across parts of southeastern australia as well as towards the east we're still dealing with the bush fires that are burning across the region now we had fun fun about to push through and of course sydney was dealing with some lower visibilities because of the haze as well as the fire crown across much of that area where we're going to be seeing though is the temperatures over the next few days they are going to be making their way up across much of the area for adelaide though your temper

want to betray their voters at this point by sitting in with him at this at this juncture now the likud could actually form together with blue and white if they would dump it and you know if they would replace him it's and you know if they would find someone else that could happen in the next $21.00 days it's going to be interesting because there's 2 significant things is going to take place 1st is whether netanyahu has indicted and if he is indicted and 2nd the clock is ticking on those 21 days and those members of knesset are going to do everything possible to avoid another election because they want to work they want to go forward they don't want to be up again and lose their jobs and frankly the country hasn't been functioning well because since last november already air a lot of the budgets are not in place so people are not getting paid there's no new initiatives and the country is stuck and he you mentioned the votes around pathy understandable but if there was to be another election what's the polling suggesting would people be more susceptible to changing their allegiances they

to failure he says if we go to another round of elections there must be a leadership primary within likud and he wants to stand against netanyahu in that primary but there's also the question of more informally could there be splits and quiet words drawing out and you know a sign to say come on given the amount of fire that all of this is drawn that the amount of criticism against netanyahu and his very savage attack on important aspects of the israeli state and rule of law in his speech last night he's been making those for months but not in quite the kind of language that we saw last night then is it up to them to try and convince him to step down that is the call that's being made by one of israel's senior commentators and indeed a biographer of netanyahu saying that he will set everything ablaze he won't won't stop until all is rubble it's up to you he says senior could nix to try to stop this from happening but there has been very adept both electorally and within his own party at cementing his power and he is absolutely determined it seems to stay on and do everything he can to main

we get first to the challenge from within the likud party.there is one person who has decided that it is time for him to step down. he doesn't say or assume that netanyahu is guilty, just says that he should be turning his attention to, in fact, fighting these political charges, not leading israel. at the same time, netanyahu's chief political rival here from the blue and white party, benny gantz also reiterated his call for him to step down and allow a unity government with the blue and white party and the likud party to form, for benny gantz to become the prime minister, and for yundnetanyahu, if he wa cleared of these charges, could come in and assume the role of prime minister again. one thing is clear. netanyahu continues to fight on, saying he will deny these charges, that he will not resign. that leaves israel still in the political stalemate they have been in now for months. paula newton, cnn. jerusalem. >>> they were roaming in the wild in zimbabwe. now dozens of baby elephants are in cages waiting for life in circuses and zoos in ch
