And a landmark case at the uk Supreme Court. Judges consider whether Boris Johnson acted unlawfully in suspending parliament. The main challenger to the israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has said he would work towards a government of National Unity after tuesdays general election. Exit polls suggest benny gantz centrist alliance is slightly ahead of mr Netanyahus Likud party, with neither winning enough seats to form a government. From tel aviv, the bbcs jeremy bowen reports. Israeli tv exit polls showed no decisive victory for any side. The votes will be counted through the night, but it could take weeks of coalition horsetrading before the next government and Prime Minister emerge. The election has been a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahus last ten years in office. He is israels longest serving Prime Minister. His main rival is retired general, benny gantz, from the blue and white party. Some of his supporters fear he was politically naive not to press harder on corruption charges faced by mr netanyahu, which the Prime Minister denies. In Opposition Strongholds in tel aviv, queues of voters were waiting and hoping to end mr neta nyahus political career. Whats wrong with netanyahu . Everything . Whats not wrong with him . Hes corrupted, he hates everyone, he rules in fear, hes too much right wing. But mr netanyahu has a reliable support from ultra religious israelis, who have their own political parties. Just before the vote, they rallied in jerusalem. In exchange for privileges for their community, theyve supported mr netanyahus premierships. Why am i going to vote . Because that is what my rabbi tells me to do, and thats what im going to do. Who would you like as the next Prime Minister . I guess netanyahu, thats what the rabbis say. The power of the ultra religious has become one of israels most divisive issues. Mr netanyahu was, as usual, a formidable campaigner, even starring in his own commercials. In this one, he puts hikers back on the right track, while losers follow untrustworthy guides named after his opponents. Israelis have been offered more personal insults than policy debates. Mr netanyahus message was that hes the only one, with his powerful friends, to protect israelis from iran and the palestinians. In a close race, he upped the ante by promising to annex the occupied jordan valley, around a third of the land palestinians want for a state. It was an extravagant gambit to keep the votes of the israeli right. In the valley, its harvest time for date farmers palestinians and israelis who have settled here since it was captured in the 1967 war. Khader hermeidat, a palestinian farmer, says he was scared by the Prime Ministers promise of annexation. Translation where is the peace that he is talking about . Netanyahu, he wants to take our land and we live from it. Annexation will be off the agenda if mr netanyahu cannot form a government after all the votes are counted. On walkabout in tel aviv, this could be the politician the Prime Ministerfears most, once the Coalition Negotiations start. Polls suggest his party, called israel our home, has made significant gains. This man, avigdor lieberman, may become the kingmaker after the election. His party might control the balance of power, when it comes to forming the next governing coalition. One important factor though, he used to be a major ally of the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu, and now they are opponents, even enemies. After the exit polls, mr liebermans supporters were the only ones that were celebrating. They had been hoping for a celebration but if the polls are correct, the end of the error could be in sight. Jeremy bowen, bbc news, tel aviv. Us Officials Say theyve identified the exact locations in iran from which they believe an attack on saudi oilfacilities was launched on saturday. The broadcaster, cbs, says more than 20 drones and cruise missiles were fired. Iran insists the projectiles came from Houthi Rebels in yemen. The bbcs david willisjoins in washington says the us are keeping up the pressure on iran. Administration officials claiming to have pinpointed the locations in southern arana, from which they believe drones and cruise missiles used in saturdays attack on Saudi ArabianOil Facilities were launched. Now given that the satellite Images Released over the weekend appeared to have shown the maximum damage on at least one of these all installations being at the north and the west of that installation, that would seem to contradict suggestions by Houthi Rebels in yemen that they were behind the attacks. In the fact that Saudi ArabianMissile Defence systems also failed to intercept these weapons is the Administration Officials as the officials are pointing out, says they are facing south because they anticipated such an attack would come from yemen. Thats why they didnt pick up these attacks. They also say that the Houthi Rebels maintained their that ten drones were used in the attacks but they have counted least i7 strikes on one of these installations alone. All of which belies, they say, the suggestion that the Houthi Rebels were to blame. Iran, for its part maintains it had nothing to do with the attacks. So what options open to the white house . What are they discussing doing about this if they believe that iran was responsible and our proof . Its a good question and our proof . Its a good question andi and our proof . Its a good question and i think we are seeing a change in stance if you like from the president , more measured approach in recent days after that rather incendiary locked and loaded comment on sunday night. Theyre making clear the administration, that this is saudi arabia s problem if you like, it is up to saudi arabia to come up with the intelligence, to show where these attacks were launched from, to come up with some sort of response and to carry out the response with the support of the international community. The us secretary of state, mike pompeo is travelling to saudi arabia tonight to help gather that intelligence but i dont think the United States is looking to take the lead in this if you like, it does not want as President Trump conceded yesterday, to get involved in a war in the middle east. But it listens that goes against everything that he campaigned for when he sought president ial office. Lets get some of the days other news. Spain is facing another general election, following an announcement by king felipe that no political leader has enough support to form a government. The sociliast Prime Minister, pedro sanchez, has been unable to reach a deal with rival parties. There has been scepticism at an announcement by facebook that it will appoint an Oversight Panel to make decisions about what can and cant be allowed on the social media network. Experts have questioned the boards independence as it will be fully financed by facebook. The Uks Supreme Court has begun hearing a case that could make history, defining the relationship between parliament and Prime Minister. Its being asked to decide whether or not borisjohnson behaved lawfully when he suspended parliament. The bbcs mark easton reports. But the country voted, didnt they, to leave . Where does power lie in this troubled land . How can you be so stupid . You tell us lie, after lie, after lie with the brexit rift in noisy evidence outside the Uks Supreme Court today. Court will rise. Inside, the 11 most seniorjudges in the land sat in courtroom number one to consider that question, and make it clear they were not there to judge the merits of brexit. The determination of this legal issue will not determine when and how the United Kingdom leaves the european union. A month after becoming pm, was borisjohnsons request to the queen that parliament be suspended for five weeks a ruse to silence mps opposed to a no deal brexit . Scottish judges did think it stymied the house of commons, ruling it unlawful. The high court of england and wales disagreed, arguing it was a matter for politicians, not judges. Representing the remain campaigner gina miller against the government, lord pannick told the justices borisjohnson had acted unlawfully. No Prime Minister has abused his powers, in the manner in which we allege, in at least the last 50 years. Without a written constitution, the relationship between the three pillars of uk governance is always evolving. Youve got parliamentary power, of course, based over there. Then youve got the governments power, focused on ten downing street, behind the walls of whitehall. And then you have the power of the courts, ultimately resting here, at the Supreme Court. And what were seeing this week is that balance of power being tested. The geography of westminster reveals the triangle of power at the heart of the state. Today, lord pannick focused on the relationship between mps in parliament and the government, headed by the pm in downing street, describing ministers as the junior partner. He also argued the courts were entitled to rule on the legality of number 10s suspending, or proroguing, parliament. The Prime Ministers motive was to silence parliament for that period, because he sees parliament as an obstacle. Lord pannick quoted from this bbc interview, to suggest borisjohnsons real purpose was not a queens speech but achieving brexit by halloween. The best way to do that is if our friends and partners over the channel dont think that brexit can be somehow blocked by parliament. This afternoon, mrjohnsons lawyer in court had his turn to make the arguments. The Prime Minister will take all necessary steps to comply with any declaration made by the court. Hed come with an undertaking from borisjohnson but he also referred to westminsters balance of power, suggesting the Supreme Court would be meddling in what were political matters if it ruled against the government. One judge wanted to know, if they did, might the Prime Minister seek to suspend parliament a second time . We take it, then, he wouldnt apply to have Parliament Prorogued again . Im not in a position to comment on that proposition at all, my lord. It would be helpful to have the undertaking given in writing. Judges like to have things written down, especially when feelings are running high and theyre attempting to unpick the complex relationship between legitimate power and political ambition.

Oil facilities were launched from iran. The drones used. This week, were reporting on the grim situation in afghanistan, where peace talks have collapsed and theres been a spike in violence. On tuesday, two separate suicide attacks killed 48 people. The taliban have said they were behind both blasts, but the organisation insists it does want talks to continue. Our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet has been speaking to the talibans chief negotiator. She asked him about his message to President Trump. We say that the negotiation is the only way to achieve peace in afghanistan and that is what we have started negotiation with the americans. The american side, and especially mr trump should listen to his Negotiation Team ahead of the Negotiation Team and he should ask for the report from him whether the negotiation was going well and successfully. So all of the advisors that he is taking, i think you should take it from the chief negotiator. But i know there are some lobbies and people against peace in afghanistan because they have their own issues and we hope that mr trump should not listen to those people because the war is not in their interests as it is not a now interested in the american say the negotiating process is dead. What do you say . From our side our doors are open for negotiation. So we hope the other side will also rethink their decision regarding negotiations. But they say they need more proof. Why not show that you can stop your fighters from carrying out attacks . Why dont you make a gesture . Out attacks . Why dont you make a gesture . This applies to both sides. Why the Foreign Forces cannot stop fighting . Every day there are tens of raids and bombardments and targeted killings and civilians and it happens on both sides. And then there is no ceasefire so far. When there is no ceasefire so far. When the agreement has been signed by both sides, after that the ceasefire will come into practice. So after a ceasefire we would not attack any Foreign Forces in afghanistan. That is only Foreign Forces. What about attacks on Afghan People . The Peace Agreement was supposed to be signed here and ohara in september and many countries needed to take part. And after that there was to be a ceasefire. After that on september 23 he was supposed to sit with afg ha ns 23 he was supposed to sit with afghans and have dialogue so that a ceasefire could be discussed. Afg ha ns ceasefire could be discussed. Afghans in afghanistan are asking why the teller barn say they do not target civilians and yet civilians are dying are often from taliban attacks. Can you not do anything about it . Civilian casualties, if you look at the report from the un side, most of the casualties, the majority of civilian casualties are related to afghan and Foreign Forces in afghanistan. So fewer. But should you perhaps also take blame . Because the Foreign Forces, most of them have bases in the cities and villages and where the civilians are living. They are not in the mountains. So sometimes when an attack is going on, it is natural that there will be civilian casualties but we are trying our best and we have told our fighters that they should not target, go to such targets where the civilians are. But if you see and look at the report from the un, for over the last year, casualties are caused more by the Foreign Forces. But your fighters, and we have centred ourselves the ground, your fighters ta ke ourselves the ground, your fighters take shelter in afghan homes. So you use the Afghan People as human shields and so afghans are getting killed. You need to take responsibility for what your fighters are doing. No. That is not true. It is not true that our people are using the houses of civilians because our fighters, the whole of oui because our fighters, the whole of our nation, they are fighting for the liberation of the country for the liberation of the country for the whole nation. They are fighting against the Occupation Forces in afghanistan. And instead Foreign Forces in the current administration, they are bombarding civilians. For the last months they have bombarded hospitals, schools, even sometimes they bombard their own afg hani colleagues. Even sometimes they bombard their own afghani colleagues. So the civilian casualties, we can send you reports of this, last month there are so many reports of this, last month there are so many civilians killed by the air bombardments of Foreign Forces. Why are you going to russia and china . What are you trying to do now . We would like to seek their help to regarding peace. We have had discussions with russia and we have discussed peace and how we can bring peace in afghanistan because of the last decision by the american side so we last decision by the american side so we requested them that they should work on this. They have promised us and otherfriendly countries, that they are working ha rd countries, that they are working hard on this that the Peace Agreement that was finalised should be implemented and that war should end peacefully through negotiation in afghanistan.

Some more late summer warmth in this forecast but also a hint of some rain where its been so very dry over the last few weeks. Now, most will be dry until weekend, with High Pressure in control. Although, for wednesday there is a bit of rain to be had and that is across the far north of scotland here with this weather front moving in. But that is the exception. For many it will be dry because we have this big area of High Pressure sitting in right across over the british isles. And where weve had the clearer skies overnight, and particularly into parts of england and wales, wednesday starts on a chilly note. The coldest spots in the countryside in low single figures and there will be a few mist and fog patches around. But also a lot of sunshine across much of england and wales, cloudy skies in scotland, outbreaks of rain, including some heavier bursts in the north for a time. Parts of eastern and southern scotland brightening up during the day, more sunshine in Northern Ireland by the afternoon, some patchy cloud though, filtering furth south through england towards north wales and the midlands. South wales and southern england staying mostly sunny and this is where we will see the higher temperatures, around about 20 celsius. Now, as we go on through wednesday evening and night, a lot of clear weather around through Northern Ireland, much of england and wales into southern scotland, some patchy cloud, but also some patches of mist and fog developing as it turns quite chilly once again. The exception will be northern scotland, holding onto cloud, temperatures here in double figures, and still some light rain or drizzle to be had. But for most, thursday starts quite chilly, some Poor Visibility around in places, so bear that in mind. Fog may be slow to clear in some spots. Drier in northern scotland, turning a bit brighter here during the day, and elsewhere there will be good, sunny spells around, and any patchy cloud slow to clear. And those temperatures are just edging up a few degrees, thats a sign of things to come for friday into the start of the weekend. Why . High pressure is still with us, but its moving eastwards, having a flow of air, warm air, to come in from the sale. Thats going to lift temperatures more widely into the low, even for some spots into the mid 20s. Though, particularly by saturday, that will be on a freshening wind coming in from the south or south east. Now, there is a weather system coming our way over the weekend, it isnt here on friday, though. Again there will be some mist and fog patches around, slow to clear on friday, but for most places there be a lot of sunshine, turning breezy in the west and it will feel warm in that sunshine. Now, into the weekend, for many, we will start dry and sunny, here is a view for some places down the eastern side of the uk, 25 celsius in london. But as the weather system moves eastwards during sunday, more cloud around by then and a chance of seeing some rain out of that cloud, and temperatures come down a little. 00 29 08,028 4294966103 13 29,430 the world, and his hero, tony hawk
