Protesters have clashed with the police in algeria a day before the countrys 1st election since mass demonstrations began in february those led to the president Abdelaziz Bouteflika stepping down in april however demonstrators say the poll is a charade that will enable an old guard of rulers and the military to remain in power all 5 of the president ial candidates in thursdays election are former associates of beautifully and fewer than one in 6 algerians are expected to turn out to vote. Now here in the u. K. Its the final day of campaigning ahead of an election that should determine britains future in europe the 2 main Party Leaders of travel the length and breadth of the country this on a day that saw 15 former labor m. P. s urging people not to vote for the party under its current leader Jeremy Corbin while the conservative Prime MinisterBoris Johnson the pits take refuge in a fridge to escape Media Questions heres paul brennan. Finally they started before dawn for the Party Leaders every hour vital as the campaigning draws to a close from north to south and in the other direction a frantic last push to get their core messages across to voters. Prime minister began his day to day ari the metaphor of course based on delivering in his case delivering rexs exhaustion and tension are inevitable at this stage of the campaign and the hash tag fridge gate began trending on social media after one of johnsons aides swore in exasperating as a journalist or a participant to come on the good morning person Prime Minister. The Prime Minister appeared to retreat into a walk in fridge to escape the media but he warmed up enough by the time he reached his next stop at a Party Factory indaba to morrow for space in the country to get things done. During the local time to be. 2 years. Into this Economic Policy uncle. Tom. Thank you choice. Is Jeremy Corbyn the Labor Party Leader whos been lagging behind in the opinion polls but is still optimistic of a late turnaround he began his day in glasgow laying out what a labor government would mean for voters thank your elected government that would eliminate Child Poverty across britain they can elect a government that will end the cruelty of the injustice of give us the credit. They can the lexicon of parents that will give hope to the next generation by investing properly in education for the future all across the u. K. To do in scotland the nationalist s. N. P. Leader was offering a fresh choice of vegetables nicolas sturgeon a greengrocers in edinburgh urging voters to back her party to block Boris Johnsons bracks is the sort of people. I dont want to have for the cuts to Public Services if we dont want to be dragged out of europe again so willing to have Boris Johnson is crazy minister envoy s. N. P. To make sure we take our future into own hands and build a Better Future for scotland and in south west london the liberal democrats are concentrating very last drops of Campaign Energy on targeting conservative seats which voted to remain in the e. U. In the 2016 referendum this is been a Difficult Campaign for the liberal democrats but poll rating sliding steadily throughout the 5 weeks and their leader jo swinson excluded from the head to head televised debates but in certain remain leaning seats the party could yet still spring some surprises every vote matters weve got an amazing team edge in the campaign trail and i still believe we can stop forest johnson stop breaks and build a Brighter Future the opinion polls suggest the conservatives have just enough support to secure a majority government but the margin of error in those polls is big enough to mean that a result could still go either way paul brennan aljazeera southwest london live to Parliament Correspondent neve barker sunnis today really something of a surreal last day on the campaign trail. Yeah and it really sums up the past 5 weeks weve seen photo op after photo op we see the conservative party very quick to exploit perhaps every single political metaphor they possibly can out of every single one of those photo op so as we heard there in pauls report weve seen Boris Johnson serving up parties to show that his breaks a deal is ready to be served to the people ready to eat weve saw him out early in the morning before the sun came up delivering milk again to show that his breakfast deal is available to be delivered distributed to the people of the United Kingdom but somebody who may not be willing to stomach any of this any of these political metaphors at all of course is the opposition labor leader Jeremy Corbett his style very very different indeed he tends to favor church halls squares ways able to sort of meet people individually as well as addressing larger groups of of people both leaders though very interesting lee began in the north jamie corbin going a bit further north to glasgow where hes hoping to capitalize on support there are still some votes in the Scottish National party both then have moved slowly down through the country its believed that one of the main battlegrounds mangy be the north of england where there have been quite a few strongholds for the labor party in years gone by but the majority of people in many of these places voted to leave the e. U. And its those voters that the conservatives are hoping to persuade to back them this time around converse lee what weve seen in the south east of england is the liberal democrats trying to pilfer seats for the conservative party in constituencies that largely voted to remain part of the which is why trying to predict this election is particularly difficult votes are being stolen over there but maybe being gained over here at the moment its all to play for but clearly what we expect in the coming hours are perhaps more. Political metaphors when Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn give their final address is here in the capital so need just walk us through what we can expect on election day itself. Very briefly the polling stations open at 7 g. M. T. 7 local and will remain open until 10 g. M. T. In the evening we expect voter turnout to be pretty high in 2017 it was in the high 60 percent centinels so a similar kind of turnout possibly higher this time around traditionally older people tend to turn out to vote more than younger people. When it came to people registering to vote this time around Something Like 3100000 voters under the age of 35 came out to register their intention to vote a 1000000 of them under the age of 25 so in polls close early exit polls should be known counting of course will then begin the final results will start to become much clearer in the early hours of the morning on friday night thank you very much.

Hello again welcome back to your International Weather forecast all a very messy picture across much of europe 1st of all i do want to start down here across much of the mediterranean we have a lot of rain a lot of winds here weve seen some problems across greece and the next phase is going to be making its way more towards the east were talking about parts of lebanon syria turkey as well very heavy rain across much of that area the other big storm is going to cause a lot of problems and turn. As of the wind as well as the rain over the next few days this storm is coming out of the atlantic and if you look at those winds streams very tight very fast moving and thats going to cause a problem anywhere from the u. K. For france for spain over the next few days and were going to be seeing a lot of rain as well us and snow out ahead of the front particularly in the overnight hours when those temperatures are dropping its not just going to be over here towards the west it will also be here across parts of italy very heavy rain as well as very windy conditions for that region for border though look at conditions here as we go towards the next couple days thursday the rain continues friday winds up to 100 Kilometers Per Hour by the time we get towards saturday we do expect to see some improving conditions across much of that area and here across Northern Africa windy conditions across much of the area from a gazi expect to see winds as well with a temperature of 18. Bit of a strange day to start these interviews we just heard today to city of aleppo has fallen or should we say liberated war. One tool for astonishing stories tode and their own riots how did you know who to trust and not to trust. A stranger came to town witness on aljazeera. Reminder of the top stories for you this half hour here on aljazeera the upper house of the Indian Parliament has approved a controversial new bill that would grant citizenship to non muslim minorities facing religious persecution in pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan curfews have been imposed in parts of the country stop protests against the bill.

Politicians in the u. K. Have been making their final pitches to voters ahead of thursdays general election which will determine britains future within or outside europe the latest polls show the ruling conservatives maintaining their lead over the labor party. Israel looks to be heading towards an unprecedented 3rd election in less than a year unless politicians can strike a highly unlikely last minute deal to form a Coalition Government the deadline is midnight local time which is now less than 3 hours away and Israels Parliament has already taken the 1st steps to dissolve itself and call another election the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and his rival benny gantz both failed to form a governing coalition after the last vote in september lets bring in her a force of our correspondent in west jerusalem harry do we think this is all but inevitable now. I think so i mean its now 2 hours and 40 minutes away the deadline there have been a couple of hints at potential moves during the day but they seem to have come to nothing and instead we have a pretty grim atmosphere in the Israeli Parliament the knesset where already theres been the 1st reading of the bill which would be necessary to set the date of that election for march the 2nd next year if it does take down to midnight without a deal then automatically the parliament is dissolved and new elections are triggered and along with the the grimness there is a fair bit of blame being thrown around us and yahoo Benjamin Netanyahu the israeli Prime Minister has been on social media in the last hour or so blaming benny gantz and his blue and white party for dragging the country into 3rd elections saying that they missed the opportunity to form a unity government and see parts of the occupied west bank an extend sovereignty extended to illegal israeli settlements there blue and white responded by telling him to save some lives for the Election Campaign their position remains that netanyahu is the one whos been the blocking agent in forming any kind of unity government because of his insistence on staying on as Prime Minister at least for the 1st few months of such a government benny gantz has said that he wont serve under an indicted Prime Minister hes been indicted in 3 separate Corruption Cases and in a sense for all the events that have happened since the last election september 17th with both netanyahu and dance being given the opportunity to try to form a government then this unprecedented 3 week period where any of these really knesset could theoretically form a government the the positions of these 2 key players have remained totally immovable and thats why we are where we are just a couple of hours now away from this deadline to the opinion polls predicting. Theyre predicting not much change really i mean it they show an israeli electorate that is pretty much resigned to having to go to the polls again they are suggesting that there is a little bit of upward trajectory for benny gantz and blue and white the latest poll this week suggested that his party might get 37 seats in the next parliament could of Benjamin Netanyahu 33 so that is a a gain of a few seats for benny gantz but still not even by that polls reckoning enough to for him to form a majority 61 seat Coalition Government and theyre also showing where the blame as far as the israeli public lies 41 percent blaming knows in yahoo some 25 percent blaming of a door lieberman nessa knows former ally and defense minister who has so far refused to take his right wing party into a right Wing Coalition with netanyahu insisting on a broad unity government instead just 5 percent blaming benny gantz for the situations that perhaps that shows why there is a incremental rise in support for him and his party but really there are a few obstacles still in the way for netanyahu he would face a primary challenge on december the 26th according to the could if there is a 3rd election there is a challenger in waiting but so far very much to be seen whether hell be able to gain the kind of support he would need to topple a sitting Prime Minister and leader of the party also a potential legal moves against his legitimacy is staying on as an indicted Prime Minister but i think that the betting is that there will be a 3rd election and the same 2 key players gansa netanyahu will be at the head of these 2 rival factions thanks very much.
