Polls open in pivotal Israeli elections

Available for 29 days

Polls in Israel indicate that neither of the two main blocs – for Mr Netanyahu and his far-right and ultra-Orthodox Jewish allies – and the main Jewish opposition parties – will capture a majority of parliamentary seats. That means there could be weeks of wrangling before the final shape of a new governing coalition is clear. Brazil's defeated right- wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro says the supreme court has banned him from leaving the country, despite his party announcing its acceptance of yesterday's results - we'll speak to a Brazilian political expert. And we'll hear from our correspondent in Ukraine as a fragile localised truce is supposed to have taken effect in an area of Southern Ukraine.
