When he shot and shut down the parliament until mid october a question the u. K. Supreme court is trying to answer. Im saying about the profits that they said. To ask us to give give give. And 50000. 00 u. S. Auto workers to walk off the job bringing production a g. M. Plants to a standstill in sport or a red sox to kill their place and hes happy followers of the agent Champions League the Japanese Team not a year chart assuring her exploits the game is a bid to win the title for the 2nd time in 3 years. So were going to start in afghanistan this hour where 2 separate bomb attacks have killed dozens of people just 11 days before the president ial election is to be held to a suicide bomber on a motorbike triggered the 1st blast in part one province at least 24 people died near a checkpoint leading up to a reelection rally for president ashraf ghani he was unharmed. And then hours later a 2nd blast near the u. S. Embassy in kabul killed at least 22. 00 people it is the taliban which has claimed responsibility for both explosions saying Afghan Security forces were the targets the latest attacks follow the u. S. President of course calling off talks with the taliban to end the 18 year old wall war analysis in a moment 1st this from mcbride in kabul. With a week and a half to go before this troubled National Poll the taliban has threatened to step up its attacks to disrupt the process and has claimed responsibility for both of these attacks the 1st attack in part of an the taliban says that a lone suicide bomber apparently on a motorbike targeted a group of special forces and president ial bodyguards its not known though whether those bodyguards to try to intercept this bomber from getting into the rally and from getting close to president ashraf ghani who was due to speak nonetheless the result was the same that again as weve seen in previous attacks most of the victims were innocent civilians caught up in this blast this will be of a grave concern to not only the president ial campaign but also all of the other candidates in the coming days as they try to Campaign Around the country equally worrying for the authorities here in kabul is the 2nd attack that took place in what should be one of the most heavily defended buildings in one of the most secure parts of the city the ministry of defense building again that the taliban says that a lone bomber got into the Human Resources department targeting it says soldiers and military personnel as the authorities here prefer prepare for these elections it had hoped to set up and secure 7000 polling stations across the country thats the same number as in the last election 5 years ago but its already conceded that that number will have to be reduced to 5000 polling stations and we still have a week and a half before this election takes place. With us now victoria funtown who is a professor of peace and conflict studies at the American University of afghanistan shes on skype from kabul nice to have you with us victoria does this sort of thing in your opinion succeed in that it is aimed at putting fear into people at trying to get them not to go and vote in a week and a half time do you think this sort of thing does succeed in that sense. Well i am not sure i cannot read the bind going back and people with what i can say that our students here at uni but we have very concerned and every day. The more attacks take place and the more that concerns that those attacks are going to rattle the democratic process in afghanistan because clearly the aim of the taliban and. The attacks continue. No one the birth people actually go to the poorest on the day of elections on the 28th of september these will definitely they did you can by the outcome of this process so it could well 60 they need to them i went to every 3 to result of the election i mean even without these sorts of attacks i guess and maybe you can speak to those peoples everyday fears in afghanistan must be huge they almost walk out the front door every morning and not know whats going to happen where its going to happen and then well in this case that does happen. Absolutely and this is something that to them on a daily level whats really important to realize is that those that pact that we see in cab all of the teeth of an iceberg and much bigger ice the violence in the rest of the country and he didnt attribute the supro Government Forces at the moment in afghanistan exceed those caused by Anti Government elements so in a sense what weve seen cavalry is replicated in the rest of the country through airstrike through the night raids and through targeted killings perpetrated by the government of afghanistan and International Allies victoria it is attacks like this which have sensibly led to the breakdown of the peace talks between the United States and the taliban do you believe that that is the case that that that the peace talks are over completely or actually that there is still work going on in the background maybe at a lower level despite the violence that carries on. Well ive heard off the record that yes they are so much and out of communication open at some level and whats interesting to think its that if we you know we have 2 variables the 1st one is President Trump whose Foreign Policy is quite unpredictable and so if we take the example of korea maybe means that the talks could be revived even though theyre dead at the moment could be revised in the future with the taliban so thats number one and then the 2nd dynamic is that the level of violence between the taliban and the United States was. At the very high level when the talks started in generally 2019 so the level of violence has introduced and so what it shows is that the canceling of the talks has nothing to do with the level of violence because its always the same so it leads us to be quite of you need to think about the revising of those talks in the future to spawn a victorian or to your title is that of professor of peace and conflict studies i mean. I just wonder more broadly when you do change to does anyone genuinely feel that peace can come 18 years down the track now and you could go even longer than that and say that afghanistan has not been at pains for for 4 decades before that as well is there any optimism that you see out there. Well in the classroom though weve got. 3 of the 34 provinces of afghanistan and they 30 together in there theyre quite happy to learn with one another and i think theyre very of they know that they dont have a choice they know that they are the one. Driving the future of their country and. For exactly that for good and i would say that every day you know one wall and they can actually get to our university in one piece and the life they actually were are working towards. Maybe there is some promise there pretty victoria funds on from the American University of ghana stuff great talking to you thank you. Thank you. Yes israelis are voting in their 2nd general election in less than 6 months Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hoping for a 5th term youll remember he failed to achieve a majority or to form a coalition back in april and so they called for this unprecedented rerun now he is trying to gain more supporters by promising to among other things and all settlements in the occupied west bank. Now he is in occupied East Jerusalem. Hes promised to annex the Jordan Valley in the occupied west bank and hes warned he may be replaced by leftists who week in israel Benjamin Netanyahu is facing corruption allegations and doing everything he can to win this election and try to avoid a criminal trial. The election is close i can confirm to you this morning they are very close i call them all israelis to come and vote just like me and my wife going to vote for home good luck and thank you for the Prime Ministers main rival is benny gantz his blue and white party to 35 seats in aprils election the same as netanyahu is likud neither was able to build a coalition that would give them 61 seats and a majority in parliament which leaves other door lieberman as potential kingmaker one time friend and netanyahu loyalist lieberman refused to enter government with the Prime Minister saying too many concessions have been made to ultraorthodox parties so netanyahu dissolved parliament you should think carefully how you will cast your vote for whoever wants to see a liberal secular unity government without the ultra orthodox should stop and think for a 2nd so far early voter turnout has been the highest in more than 30 years but preelection polls still predict this vote will be as close run as the last its hard it shows that the country is split in so many different ways that its very sad this election is for about change change that policy. State he said change. Their use of the. I hope that what a void for is going to be the one but. I think it will be divided again because its really close this is the 1st time in israels history that a 2nd election has been held because the Largest Party was unable to form a coalition the polls close at 10 pm local time and exit poll soon after should give an early indication of the way the voting has gone and then there could be weeks or even months of political horse trading before we know who will be the next Prime Minister of israel Bernard Smith aljazeera in occupied East Jerusalem post closing in a few hours so lets get a live update on the situation now were going to tel aviv with Hoda Abdelhamid is that the headquarters of benny gantz blue and white party ill be with you in a moment just to start with ari force that could party base that of Benjamin Netanyahu all quiet there at the moment harry bring us up to date. Yes well the most recent from ation we have about the turnout that but it was mentioning in his package there is that as of about 2 hours ago 4 oclock local time thats the most recent figure we have it stood at 44. 3 percent now thats one and a half Percentage Points higher than it was at this time last year so all the predictions of people suffering from election fatigue and not coming to the polls seem to be a challenge so far by the figure is part of that is down to the kind of strategy that all of the chief Party Leaders and particularly Benjamin Netanyahu is using once again essentially issuing a cry of panic of voters on coming to the polls you have to come and rescue us hes been hosting broadcast crisis meetings from the Prime Ministers office at the residence rather in jerusalem saying that his votes is the right wing voters on coming to the polls hes been telling people not to vote for the far right Jewish Power Party because they are falling short of the election threshold so i must come home so we could all right wing voters and hes doubling down on the strategy of trying to frighten right wing voters about the prospects of a larger than previous palestinian israeli vote saying and his minister is saying that severe queuing up at polling stations there are reports that likud has put cameras outside polling stations so that they can review faces in the future saying that there is the threat of voter fraud there thats being seen on the opposition side as an intent once again to suppress the palestinian israeli vote and this is being made in a much more blatant way than it was 4 years ago when he said something similar during the last day of the Election Campaign but the arabs are coming to the polls in droves that was a a major shock to the electoral system here that he would use such obviously race field terms. This time hes standing at bus stations with a loud hailer warning people about the arab vote so you can its pretty clear what the strategy is to to frighten his base about that prospect and about the prospect that not enough of them are coming to the polls thats his strategy its a strategy thats being replicated by numerous Party Leaders as well at least telling them to to come to the polls because their vote is lower than expected harry force that is that the the could Party Headquarters there in tel aviv thank you now as promised to the headquarters of benny gantz blue and white party is there optimism there are now that benny gantz and his team are getting this 2nd opportunity. Well i dont i wouldnt use the word optimism anyone i spoke to. Did expect some results to be something along the same lines as the previous elections back in april so few months ago i think it is a bit of optimism is that maybe benny gantz would be given a chance this time if indeed he gets the numbers to form the government he has been actually calling on president rivlin to make sure that whoever is the president to form the government will give a pledge that he will dissolve the knesset in case hes not able to bring about that Coalition Government and then i was. Talking about tactics i think that those tactics were also used by this side certainly the message coming out of here you need to vote for us we dont have we are clear of corruption and also if you dont vote for us you are actually damaging the future of the crissy in israel hinting at the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu is aligned himself with far right groups that would form with him a coalition in case he does get the numbers and he has the mandate to form a government so you do have tactics on both sides and you. Spoke to really said that they felt that this campaign was actually worse than the one before because as one woman put it it was more hysterical than the campaign at the beginning of the year and there is a certain fatigue in the sense that really since the beginning of 2019 israel has been going from campaign to campaign and election to election and many feel that the problems are still the issues are still there and none of the Political Parties none of the candidates have had actually the chance to tackle them to get out their messages and what they would do because it was more about this credit in the other side than anything else. The party in tel aviv thank you. Here is whats coming up for you on this news hour were looking at the effect on saudi arabias oil supply as the u. S. Blames iran for the attack on the Worlds Biggest Oil refinery. In haiti protesters are calling on the president to resign over an ongoing fuel crisis there and in sport the footballer produced a romper over the top performance and this is just tearing training role well have that story at about 10 to the hour. Brigs news now in a Supreme Court challenge to Boris Johnsons decision to suspend parliament until mid october is now underway in london the court will decide whether the british Prime Minister in fact broke the law when he sent members of Parliament Home for 5 weeks until october the 14th remember the u. K. Is usually leave the e. U. Less than 3 weeks after they return to parliament here is john holl live for us in london join to take us through whats happened today. Was all day one of these reporters trying i. Can remain civil design ranged against one another outside disagreement. Lots of. Screaming. Yes it looks like members of. The team feeling the scottish judges decision you know there were 2 decisions that were made by high courts instructed in england in the last few weeks both on appeal here in the Supreme Court the 1st in english decision this all to do with the schools promise to always chances. For rogue will suspend the 1st decision the English Court should look this was a political decision i deduce not for the courts to decide the reasons for that decision based on the separation of powers and also dont you take it this scottish judges on the other and just last week said what if that is the case yes however if it can be shown and they believed that it had been shown that the Prime Minister. Exercise tease how is to provoke a rock bottom and improper purpose is the purpose in other words of deliberately trying to stifle parliaments ability to scrutinise breaks at policy will that would be something that the courts could legitimately intervene to stop but they did so and they ruled the propagation im not sure what the Supreme Court has got to try and square this circle and eightys doing so by listening as it has the soft neutral evidence about the motives of the governments of behind the governments decision and in a couple of days time we will get an idea of where its decision falls it will be of huge significance of course not just t. V. Constitution in this country but to government and to parliament as well take a listen quickly to what lord keane had to say hes the governments q c in the appeal that the government has brought against the scottish decision. If this court finds that the advice of the Prime Minister was number.

Now what we can read into that is that if the Supreme Court were t
