Israel votes in another election
Early exit polls from Israel’s fifth parliamentary election in four years show that Benjamin Netanyahu can reclaim power. He will preside over one of the most right-wing governments in the country’s history even if He is being tried for corruption.
Voters face the familiar choice between a right-wing bloc led by Netanyahu and a broad coalition led by Yair Lapid, the incumbent prime minister. Lots of hope for a clear result after many turbulent years. This is live updates.
Netanyahu’s opponents see the vote as a test of Israel’s liberal democracy: They feel he should step down until the end of the trial. Many also worry that he and his allies could lose their democracy, especially through a sweeping judicial overhaul that would reduce checks and balances on legislators.
Netanyahu’s allies see his trial as a politically motivated spoof and describe the vote as an opportunity to emphasize the country’s Jewish character. His coalition partners include ultra-Orthodox lawmakers, who oppose teaching math and English to their children, and far-right settlers who are frequently opposed. Israel’s Arab Minority.
Analysis: A Netanyahu victory would reassure some right-wing Israelis, who argue that the unprecedented involvement of an Arab party in the government threatens the country’s Jewish identity and makes the government less able action against the warriors.
Bolsonaro agrees to resign
Jair Bolsonaro, President of Brazil, lost his re-election bid on Sunday. After two days of silence, he agrees to the transfer of power.
Bolsonaro did not concede defeat by his own words. After the president gave a brief public address criticizing the left, his chief of staff said the government would hand over power to the incoming administration. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the former president, will be in power again.
Bolsonaro’s move has allayed fears that there may not have been a peaceful transition of power in one of the world’s largest democracies. He has attacked Brazil’s electoral system because it was full of fraud and has said repeatedly in recent months that he will only accept an election he believes is “clean”.
What’s next: The question now remains how his comments will be received by the thousands of his supporters, who have blocked hundreds of highways across Brazil in an attempt to “paralyze” the country and by somehow overturn the election.

A police complaint says the company opened the bridge without government approval four days before it collapsed.
Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India and Bharatiya Janata Party are also trying to manage public frustration. Modi has left his busy campaigning schedule to go to the hospital. But some families say the hospital focused on his visit instead of helping survivors. One man said: “The hospital is busy painting the walls for the Prime Minister. “This is the state of our country.”
Fee: Many of the victims were migrant workers. Compensation for their families won’t make up for their lives, or the money they sent home. “Our dreams were broken,” said one victim’s father. “He is our only hope.”
