tanya tanya how's a voter turnout been so far where you are. one mean people here coming since the early morning to the polling stations they opened at 7 am people have a day off to go and vote and there's a lot of expectation here because it's going to be a long day exit polls are not expected before 22100 tonight and here local time we will know a bit more what the trend is going to be these elections so if i was talking to this morning said you know maybe it's more of the same they don't know really what to make of this 2nd round of elections in a year others might hope for maybe a change it's a neck to neck race a again according to pollsters and we have to take always those polls with a grain of salt because they're not always highly accurate between and you mean that on yahoo's likud and. blue and white alliance so we'll have to wait and see for tonight what kind of results are coming in talking when we look at the instability in the region especially in iran and syria but also closer to home in gaza how much is that factoring in for voters in this election. well that's certainly always on people's mind over here but all the candidates have made it also a topic in their election campaign which has been very fierce between the likud and kahala vann. mr netanyahu of course is always you know pushing his image of mr security when it comes to you know also know what's happening in lebanon syria and iran and also in gaza but also many guns he's a former army general he served under netanyahu as well as other generals in the leadership of couple of and they're also very much you know put on this image of security which is very important to them so this has been also topic but it's mainly these elections you have to say about the candidates the personalities and very much about benyamin netanyahu himself he wants to have a fist term so people are waiting to see whether this will happen and people are also waiting to see how this is all going to turn out to being such a close election what are the chances that it will produce the very same results we saw 5 months ago and the same political stalemate. well that's entirely possible and i know this and commentators you know already talking about different scenarios 1 what could happen for prime minister netanyahu he wants to go for right wing religious. if it would be up to him but he failed last time to build such a coalition. and that's why we having again those elections his a real have to see also like the other smaller parties will be doing for example. israel between a party of men he was the one actually to crush the party for mr netanyahu because he didn't want to go into coalition with him so how he will be doing whether he will be the king maker at this time as well donna thanks very much for that tara kramer for us we'll have much more of course throughout the day from tanya from jerusalem. or u.s. president donald trump says he believes iran was probably behind the attacks on saudi oil installations over the weekend he also underscored he's waiting for definitive proof of who is responsible and that he consult america's allies batted all options remain on the table but that there will be no rush to annoy terry response. the crown prince of bahrain the official visit to the white house was planned long ago but it couldn't be more timely the biggest question was would president trump take military action against iran without preconditions the way the united states is we're prepared that any country in the history. of in any history where want war i don't want war with anybody somebody they would like got to have. these satellite images released by the u.s. military purportedly show the damage inflicted on the saudi oil plants and demonstrate how precise the attacks were carried out with drones or possibly cruise missiles. washington says the attacks were s

and you know it's still a bit unclear how this will move for but definitely not a simple solution that is for sure tanya great reporting tonight from jerusalem tanya thank you were dozens of civilians have been killed in 2 separate incidents in afghanistan a u.s. drone strike targeted a hideout used by islamic state in the eastern province of no longer are but hit workers in the field instead and the taliban have claimed responsibility for a truck bombing next to a hospital in the southern city of. even by afghanistan's standards these bloody times this hospital in the south of the country pulled the brunt of a taliban truck bomb on the 3rd consecutive day of violence and bloodshed in the country at least 20 were killed almost 100 wounded many of them patients. we had peace the surge in violence comes after u.s. president donald trump called off peace talks with the taliban which could have seen a withdrawal of u.s. troops that combined with the taliban's desire to dissuade people from voting in the presidential poll on september the 28th has led to the rise in the attacks but it is mostly civilians who are taking the force of the blasts and bulle

tanya polls opening behind you there but broadly in the region and not only in syria and around tanya but also very close to home in gaza we're looking at a very in stable region how much is security playing an issue for the voters right there where you are. certainly security in everything what you just had happening in syria iran lebanon but also in the south in israel and gaza is always on people's minds here and of course also for the coming days and prime minister netanyahu has always made his career on this image of mr security so he has pushed that forward also very very prominently in his campaign but also the main contenders spending guns and the blue and white party i mean he is has been the army chief under netanyahu and in the leadership of blue and white you have 3. generals so to speak and a former defense minister they also push this agenda of being very strong on issues of security but having said that i'm standing in front of the polling station and people i talked to said this is very much about also the. kind of referendum about benyamin netanyahu and you know it's more about personalities here and this 2nd round of elections in this year than about topics and some of the people here told me actually they would like the politicians to focus a bit more on issues that are really important to say like social issues the economy or education ok well benjamin netanyahu did raise one issue a new one he promised voters that he'd annex parts of the west bank if a real life did how did that play with the voters in israel. personally in israel this is not such a contentious issue as you know it is actually a broad i mean in the security establishment has always been a consensus that the jordan valley should say it with israel as a security barrier. having said that the way it is done you know whether unilaterally as mr netanyahu proposed in this election that's just a week before the elections or whether it will be done through negotiations that might be the difference and also clue in why the have very quickly said what's good that mr netanyahu said that we have always been on the stand that jordan the jordan valley should stay with israel but of course. it's a question all they're going to do but some people here i mean in the media especially the said this is morning lexan problem is we have to wait and see whether he will actually go ahead but he could be in a bind actually depending on what kind of government he will form if he will have to go into a government with the ultra right wing and they will push him to go for that ok time for now thanks very much we'll have much more from tanya kramer in israel for us today thanks very much tony. it's to the u.s. now where president donald trump says he believes iran was probably behind attacks on saudi arabian oil installations of the weekend but he also underscored he's waiting for definitive proof of who exactly exactly was responsible and would also consult america's allies before taking any further action from said all options are still on the table but that there was no rush to go to war. the crown prince of bahrain the fischel visit to the white house was planned long ago but it couldn't be more timely the biggest question was would president trump take military action against iran without preconditions the united states is we're prepared that any country in the history. of in any history where want war i don't want war with anybody i am somebody that would like got to have. these satellite images released by the u.s. military purportedly show the damage inflicted on the saudi oil plants and demonstrate how precise th
