israel one gift after the another one week after another there's absolutely no point for any national unity government to be making any concessions of one can call them that way to the palestinians and hence a sort of defied national zionist unity government between netanyahu and guns would spill terrible terrible news for on the on the peace front on the negotiations front on the palestinian front and so on so forth but in terms of their own arrangements are more on the jewish collective within israel i'm sure that will make a lot of people happy because a lot of the a lot of those people who voted for the likud and blue white list they just don't want to be held hostage to the smaller right wing parties or to the religious right wing parties and i think that would might make the basis for both likud and blue list happy to see that the two giants form a majority government in israel can eventually see her role develops and thanks very much early exit polls showing may the main rivals neck and neck both leaders now claiming victory more mature thanks a lot. all right still to come here on al-jazeera i

saying this is not what we wanted the outcome from protesters perspective was basically a national unity government not been silent because for the consider him to be just part of the same political elite the has been in power for the last twenty years and it was on the other himself who said in the past few weeks that he will staunchly support president arbors with a vehicle to go for a fifth term something that people still remember so the protesters clearly haven't gotten what they wanted what is it that they do next and how does the army fit into all of this how does it convince the protesters to trust them over the next ninety days they will not be the one who will have the up the ultimate say i mean the protesters but they made this become a reality this is what we've seen over the last few weeks is unprecedented in algeria's modern history and i think they have discovered a new voice a new power which with the will they will use and if the continue to make it to the streets for the coming days that we put more pressure on the mystery establishment and we've seen a hint made by the army of th

all of your eons and who would be ready to reach out to the to all the ins to form and a national unity government and leave the country for a transition to democracy. the british prime minister someone senior ministers for intense talks on bragg's it members of parliament are believed to be divided over whether to push for if there are no deal or soft departure from the e.u. or in fact to call a general election parliament remains deadlocked on how the u.k. should leave the e.u. as well it failed to agree on for alternatives to teresa mayes deal with the e.u. chief negotiator michel barnier says a bloc is now ready for a no deal scenario. new deal. or. muti was never my desire or intended. but you can't even is now prepared. becomes day to day more like. barca is outside the houses of parliament in london nave let's work chronologically here first of all last night's results for rejections what does that actually mean. what it means for the country it's still stuck when it comes to bricks it politically it means now the ball is back in the government's court after m.p.'s fail to rally around a si

more of a cosmetic change not a genuine one they were hoping to see something different a national unity government formed by independent people widely respected and trusted by the algerians to take over the army would say that they've been acting in accordance with the constitution and the constitution simply doesn't wear a path for the sort of change that the recess is a calling for is that the case they know that they cannot meet all those demands by the people because some of them seem pretty much realistic for the army because they're concerned about any move that could just lead to a power vacuum in a country like and syria something that no one would like to see put in place i think or one hand going for article one two which is now paving the way for a new interim president but at the same time they might create something parallel. and that's where they can meet some of the demands of the people particularly council forming a national unity government that can take over ok they know we understand that. one of the army chiefs is expected to make some kind of a name is meant just give us a se

for all mid april in which political reconciliation or boss should be established and the national unity government should be established and this is off the table and we're back to it's back to zero given all the efforts of the international community all the united nations of france for the european union and the international mediator so what would be the kind of behind implications if this u.n. backed government does for basically where libya is expected to slide back into civil war situation we have between twenty eleven and twenty fourteen which continue more or less since then and for europe you can tell why the implication because libya is the most important transit country for migration and they have for one of the migration policy pillars of the european union was and then existing cooperative living in government and this is not existing any more of the whole idea of cooperation between europe and libya with really how to make it right simply off the table so a lot of instability in their region and brief you marcus is the. i think at this late stage the international community can do to

their fight is far from over they want a clean sweep of the political establishment and the national unity government to lead the transition to democracy. now the un security council will hold another emergency meeting on the situation in libya if fighting continues there dozens of people have been killed in recent days including at least thirty five thousand loyal to warlords and if a hostile his forces are trying to take the capital it's forced the un's envoy to libya to perspire on a national reconciliation conference which was supposed to happen next week and the u.n. is trying to get refugees out of detention centers near tripoli these are people who've come to libya from other countries in the hope of crossing the mediterranean sea and reaching europe ahead of the un's refugee agency tells our desire the fighting is making the task of moving people to safety difficult. you know it's always been quite difficult to conduct this operation in libya which is an extremely fragile country not just in security terms but in institutional terms with many parts of the country controlled by militias by arm

the fight is far from over they want a clean sweep of the political establishment and the national unity government to lead the transition to democracy. abroad buffy is a research fellow at the think tank new america where he specializes in arab and islamic affairs he says a small group of strong men are desperately trying to hold on to power it's a clique of it leads politicians business men in the military but the military doesn't seem to go along with the speaker of the parliament's call for ninety days elections in ninety days the defense ministry has issued no statement supporting that so that's the big question right now is which way the defense ministry in the military is going to go and nobody wants to give up their seat and their perks so that's a big problem that said it's impossible to reform a system such as out years and place since one thousand nine hundred sixty two there can be incremental reform there can be move towards political liberalization and more freedoms but you can't start the whole system from scratch the military has a unified stance we don't see what's called fashion w

a national unity government formed with people but there was no provision under the constitution or bring those individuals but when you have the momentum building towards that direction you have to you have to hear the call of the people and when they saw the announcement today and they were expecting this outcome basically they are trivial the article on two and announcing on the other comes as some sort of worms. he was disappointment for the people who would say. his part of the legacy that has been governed in algeria and to put some perspective on this particular and why people. in this in chanted with the whole thing is because they say in twenty years as one of the richest nations in in africa it has massive oil and gas reserves and it's a key player in the african continent and they say we would. come should be something different we need to have a strong rich country the problem is that in an area you have an economy which is in tatters you have unemployment which has been getting over the last few years and because of the declining oil and gas prices worldwide the government's
