General election in less than 8 hours and there are indications Boris Johnson is facing a close contest the conservative leader called the vote to secure a parliamentary majority and push through his brics a plan but the latest opinion poll suggests the main Opposition Labor Party closing the gap if only barker reports from london. After touring the country Boris Johnson was back in the capital to deliver his final Campaign Message the conservative policies lead in opinion polls has narrowed ahead of the vote anything less than a majority could be disastrous for the conservatives and johnsons hopes of delivering bricks it opposed 24 hours to end the deadlock 24 hours to break the gridlock 24 hours 7 in which we could remove the parliamentary road. Block and get a working majority for a sensible moderate dynamic one nation conservative. The labor leader Jeremy Corbyn was also back in london labor may be lagging in the opinion polls but coleman is optimistic of a last minute surge and support raise the sights and hopes that people work with people as they develop and improve their communities work with people under a labor government thats trying to develop all those things that were so proud of in our manifesto. Its been a Grueling Campaign laden with photo opportunity johnson was up before dawn delivering milk echoing his promise to deliver bricks it. Another stop another useful metaphor this time a pipe factory in darvish a reminder that johnsons breaks it plans come ready to serve. But its a message not everyone can stomach corbins last day of campaigning also began before sunrise in the scottish city of glasgow before winding his way down the country through marginal constituencies johnson and corbin have been targeting traditionally labor seats in Northern England where large numbers of people voted to leave the e. U. But in an 11th hour intervention 15 former labor m.

On the eve of election day the normally illuminated houses of parliament are mostly dark and shrouded in scaffolding another metaphor perhaps of a political system desperately in need of repair has been a bitterly fought Election Campaign. A battle over breaks in the future of britains Public Services including its esteems National Health service when polling stations open on thursday morning for some it will be an obvious in stark choice so disillusioned by years of Political Uncertainty it will be a much tougher decision before. Westminster and lets cross over to london now and speak to Chris Hopkins hes the head of politics at the polling firm 70 comrades because youve just come out with a poll can you just talk us through the results and what you found yeah absolutely so what weve seen in our final poll of the election is that the conservatives are on 41 percent and we found the labor party around 3067. 00 now if you that gives me a 4. 7 of late that is the marist of all pollsters going into the last election i think there is still one to come out tomorrow maybe one more saving but what were likely to see with that is it does reduce Boris Johnsons chances of a large majority but it does increase potentially the chances of there being a Hung Parliament come friday morning and interestingly there were 3 other opinion polls that were published on wednesday and they seem to show a larger leads for for the conservatives so why do you think that weve seen now a narrowing of the labor lead. I think weve seen and the ring of labor leader across all pulses over the election we started out with with a slightly conservative lead and other stars who were very big ones so i think irrespective of polling we have seen the labor party you know make some progress here what they have managed to do throughout the campaign is to squeeze the liberal democrat vote where found you know 2060 remain voters were initially considerably more split over whether they would vote for the label for the democrats and what weve come to the conclusion now is that far more are going to vote for the labor party and the lib dems and that can only be good news where as you know for the conservative party they always had quite a significant majority of the leaves and that hasnt really changed the campaign and how does your polling actually help to sort of translate practically into numbers of seats. Isnt something that we do specifically ourselves but we do use electoral countless and lots of back to who runs that we think were talking on numbers into the opposite model well look at Boris Johnson 6 seat majority over see that comes with several and several confidence intervals so that could end up being a larger majority than 6 equally we do need to acknowledge the fact that one parliament based on the numbers is plausible. All right Chris Hopkins we thank you very much for joining us from london. Israels parliament has voted to dissolve itself putting the country on the verge of its 3rd election in less than a year Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his opponent benny gantz both fail to form a Ruling Coalition auster the last vote in september when terry cross that hes joining us from west jerusalem so what happens next terry. Well what happens next is a 3rd election in march there was a sense of grim inevitability about this which had been growing ever more grim and more never to fall in the months since the september election and all of the repeated attempts and failures to form a unity government between the likud party of Benjamin Netanyahu the Prime Minister and the blue and white party led by former army chief benny gantz both men stuck to their positions ness and yahoo saying that he had to stay in power at least for several months in any unity government deal he was of course in the interim indicted in 3 separate Corruption Cases blue and white accusing him of cleaning on to power in order to try to cement his position and fight off those Corruption Cases from a position of power they said that they would not sit in government with an indicted Prime Minister and apart from a last gasp attempt by benny gantz leader of blue and white by saying if netanyahu gives up any claim on parliamentary immunity then perhaps they could talk that was rebuffed by netanyahu and so it looked ever more certain that this result would eventually eat and indeed as the hours tick down there were no signs of any last minute deal and by midnight the deadline that meant that automatically the parliament was dissolved a new elections set in train for netanyahu he is facing criminal charges on 3 separate probes that were brought forward by the attorney general so how is that being viewed in the context of this upcoming election. Well the legal scholars say that it might not make a huge amount of difference in formal legal terms but it does give him the option at least of having but eventually more influence on Public Opinion and a stronger position from which potentially to argue for a plea deal or even to try to argue for some kind of president ial pardon if that were deemed appropriate and possible under israeli law netanyahu argues that he needs to be in power for the next few months to try to make the most of an opportunity to annex part of the occupied west bank the Jordan Valley and extend israeli sovereignty to israeli settlements thats why he said that he wanted to be in a unity government and lead that unity government over the next few months but of course that has evaporated with these new elections hes already started even before the deadline on his Election Campaign citing an interview given by a blue and white member of the knesset in which he talked about the prospects of a 2 state solution with the palestinians that neos saying that he was against a palestinian state and thats why the likud party would and would have to win big in this election the deputy leader of blue and white hed made his own comments blaming netanyahu for dragging the country into a 3rd election unnecessarily and saying that the election would be a festivity of hate violent and discussed and recommended that israelis keep their children away from the t. V. Screens for the next 3 months terry foster thank you for that update from leicester asylum there been violent protests in parts of india against a controversial citizenship bill which is about to pass into law it gives citizenship to minorities who face religious persecution in pakistan bangladesh and afghanistan but it excludes muslim refugees and opposition politicians and Rights Groups say thats because of the governments undue nasa agenda and salva her reports from new delhi. I was they chanted slogans around the bonfire and called for withdrawal of the citizenship amendment this happened as indias upper house debated and passed the controversial legislation it says that religious minorities including hindus sikhs christians and buddies who migrated to india because of persecution from afghanistan pakistan and bangladesh would be granted citizenship these protesters in the state of assam say their struggle is against inclusion of migrants irrespective of their religion because they want to preserve their Indigenous Culture and livelihood im dealing on live i give all i will live on the border have been each and every one of our own lardo in dozen of them if you will always stand against israel we condemned israel.

The Indian Government says this legislation is meant to protect religiously persecuted minorities from neighboring countries but many are asking why its excluding muslims during a debate in Parliament Opposition parties spoke about the fear gripping Indias Muslim community which is also the countrys largest minority. Students and an indonesian protested against the legislation and described it as discriminate tree. By him to citizens would be guarded under the citizenship amendment no muslims would have no protection. It got to me. It is a question of giving citizenship to people who have come because of religious porch or the minorities or any muslims need dont worry i want to say this clearly nobody needs to worry or anyone frightens you dont get scared because number and government is moving with the spirit of the constitution so minorities will get food protection. Many political analysts say the legislation could have a Lasting Impact on the social fabric of india. Aljazeera.

But 1st the United Nations says it cant verify claims that iran was behind its attacks on Saudi Oil Facilities Saudi Company iran co was hit with drone and missile attacks in september the u. S. Saudi arabia and European Countries have blamed iran for this strike however the u. N. Secretary general says it cant independently corroborates that the projectiles use were also iranian origin. Well the panel has a very particular mandation doesnt necessarily see all the evidence that is available and we and our partners have made our main assessment having seen a lot of evidence and we have concluded and have stated publicly that we believe iran to be responsible and we think theres good evidence for that. Shares in iran co have officially begun trading on Riyadh Stock Exchange opening 10 percent higher than the initial Public Offering price its now the worlds most valuable listed Company Nickel gauge reports. All the bells and whistles one of the most eagerly awaited stock offerings in history after years of planning and several false starts shares in saudi arabia state owned oil giant remco have begun trading on riyadhs to Double Exchange as a result of the Oil Producers shares rose by 10 percent it follows a crucial week for the firm obtaining the largest ever initial Public Offering raising 25600000000. 00 for less than 2 percent of the company this puts its value at 1. 00 trillion dollars but that fell short of the 2 trillion dollar valuation saudi arabia wanted and the 100000000000. 00 it had hoped to raise back in 2016 how to get the valuation up from the 1. 7 trillion which was achieved in the i. P. O. To the 2 trillion and i suppose to a large extent how does saudi arabia now make up for the 75000000000 dollars that it probably expected to get but but didnt saudi arabia derives most of its money from oil exports but a recent drawing attack on its facilities in the east took out more than half of its Oil Production it caused concern among International Investors who will likely be watching to see what happens next they had also been concerns the government would force saudi billionaires who had been detained at the ritz carlton in riyadh as part of an Anti Corruption crackdown back in 2017 to buy around coast stalk this was always stuck to be a win for the saudi government one way or other they were going to bring the palais the markets and this is exactly what they have done. If the use was anywhere else in the world there would be an investigation to find out he was ramping up shares but when the government story theres various all the markets can do with a market value of about 1. 00 trillion dollars now aramco is well on its way to hitting the 2 trillion dollar target set out by Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin selma nicola gage aljazeera when mars leader has rejected accusations of genocide by her government against a ring of minorities as misleading and sense and she told the International Court of justice the military has been conducting a legitimate operation against armed groups in Rakhine States when he reports in the hague. As a state counselor and head of government arrived at the International Court of justice she was welcomed by supporters chanting we stand with you. But anyone hoping that Aung San Suu Kyi a Nobel Peace Prize winner would take this opportunity to at last stand with the would be disappointed in opening me a mass defense against genocide charges she said the picture the gambia presented to the court was misleading and incomplete the situation in rakhine is complex and not easy to fathom but one thing surely touches on the 1st equally the sufferings of the many innocent people whose eyes the torn apart as a consequence of the Armed Conflicts of 206070 in particular those who have had to flee their homes and their knowledge living in camps and cox is bizarre. That was as far as the sympathy went for the ring get 700000 of whom were forced to flee to neighboring bangladesh after a crackdown by the Myanmar Military suchi again refused to use the word when describing the mainly Muslim Minority ethnic group a denial of identity is proof say experts of genocidal intent on tuesday the gambia open the case with harrowing allegations of rape torture and murder by Security Forces in attacks on reading to communities in 2017 sujit didnt respond to those specific allegations but said any wrongdoing did not amount to genocide and would be dealt with in me and mob outside his supporters also werent interested in discussing the alleged crimes. Im not sure to feel whether i believe or not we are here just to keep the body and we have complete faith and trust in the decision but it was she said that if she doesnt its going to be a good book and it will. Be gambia says the ring there are facing an ongoing threat of genocide and desires the court to order beyond march to take steps to guarantee their safety in response me and mars lawyers called on the judges to reject the application in a speech on sun sujit gave a brief History Lesson on Rakhine State and spoke about the complexity of the problem there but she again failed to address the root cause the ring there have been continued to be discriminated against as Illegal Immigrants with little or no status or rights and until those things are addressed their security will continue to be at risk on a historic day at the worlds top court this one time campaigner for human rights provided little hope for the ring and she provided little evidence that shes interested in salvaging whats left of her reputation wayne hay al jazeera the hague. Stephanie decker is in coxs bazar in bangladesh she says refugees have been closely following the courts proceedings. The consequences of the mean mars military offensive in august 2017 is turning this into the biggest refugee camp in the world one of these tents have a family a person who has the most horrendous stories of what happened to them so whether genocide intent of genocide is proven or not what is clear is that severe Human Rights Violations atrocities were committed against these people many people here are aware of the proceedings in the hague some of them have been meeting with Community Leaders sitting around a radio listening having them translate what is happening here theyve been calling for justice for a very long time but there is kept this is a also among some as to why unsung suchi when that. Suits you went to the court for her own benefit we wont be benefiting from it she was part of these atrocities against us she went there to lie and to gain public support for the 2020 alexion in myanmar she went to the ice sheets for her own benefit. It is hugely significant what is happening so many miles away at the International Court of justice but whatever way the court is going to rule it is going to take time many people will tell you that its not going to have an impact a real direct effect on the people here people want justice theyve been calling for that for over 2 years but they also want to go home now mean more hasnt given any insurances hasnt allowed the United Nations or any agencies in to assure that they will be safe if they do return to bangladesh has made it very clear they dont want them here almost a 1000000 people live in these camps and their future is uncertain at least 70 soldiers have been killed in an attack on a military companys air no group has claimed responsibility for choosing to attack near the border with mali but fighters with links to eisele and al qaeda have been increasingly active across the region. 2 more people have died from their injuries in hospital after a volcanic eruption in new zealand that brings the confirmed toll to 8 while the bodies of 8 others are believed to still be on white island and questions are being raised about why tourists were allowed to visit after scientists raise the volcanos alert level last month and police are saying conditions there are still too dangerous to recover the bodies. At the moment the risk of an eruption. Is in the range of 40 to 60 percent at the moment and this we can mitigate and thats what the Options Development is going to achieve down to a level where i think the great comfort is this of making a call with regard to what we do next then we cant make that. Lets go to michael luke hes a professor in the school of hospitality and tourism at all Clean University of technology hes joining us via skype from auckland gets happy with us on the aljazeera news our thanks for joining us. Shortly after the volcanic eruption that perhaps it is time for the Tourism Industry governments and volcanic experts to review current rules can you elaborate and explain what you mean by that. Yes. But having made i think in general that we need to look a little ringback bit more into not necessarily the operation because i think thats probably pretty. Organized but i think what we need to look at is the information flow of tourists so that tourists know exactly what potential risks valves potentially in fall off and then make that are involved decisions if you look at the incident on monday ever could ship a. Lot and i am not sure how much they were already receiving or established the Hard Core Team of tourists who have all exactly. What rights that taking the most gentle of the tourists who just take the tools like that because the opportunity presents itself as they need to know all kind of risks that one tenchi taking and decides if they want to take that risk off so of course the big question of course that is now being raised is that there were warning signs in the weeks prior to the eruption and last month the alert level was raised to 2. So many people kind of wondering why these tourists were allowed to visit. Its a good question but i think that im the same an operation could see just that up to 2 pi day is obviously is like the elevator is. The we actually are options nobody expected us to see places so far always being up to 2 its all right its the operator you should check with doing that before they go on. Every day and see whats happening is there any signs and only if its going through you know boss that i know and operate all very very false decisions by the fact that. So wouldnt be up to the government in this case what lessons need to be learned here would it be up to the government or is it up to the tour operators to decide whether or not to send tourists to an island on any given day. Carney that put him up to the operational fine decision but not im not sure the government should be involved in anything like that we can order it today everything but i was. At work for it maybe the government needs to find a way off so the fire will operate on their behalf proper training that all exactly what to do is that theyre out there regulations and the what kind of safety she needs but i dont think the government should be a in charge of making that decision off today you can go up tomorrow your costs and officials speaking of the governmental officials are saying that the area now is still too dangerous for emergency workers to run recover some of the bodies the alert level is now a race to 3 just tell us what youre hearing about the situation right now and how concerning it it remains. Its. Actually getting good from all of the weather is not great either and like weve caught previously the. Yet another eruption potentially. Life at the moment by anywhere between 40 and 60 percent and sending recruits recruits all was such a High Percentage that it would be a response a bit so im totally with the government and the police that are saying you know what there will be survivors so why do we risk up to you this life goal of a right to michael lucre thank you very much for joining us from Austin Norris thank you very much.
