Israelis vote in pivotal election

Available for 28 days

Turnout is at record levels as Israelis vote in what many view as one of the most consequential elections in Israel's history. The campaign for this election - the first since the October 7 Hamas attacks - has been shaped by the issues of democracy and security. We speak to our correspondents in Israel. The sixth release of a series of fantasy books called ACOTAR - an acronym for 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' - hit the bookshelves globally overnight. We speak to fans who managed to get one of the first copies. With a week to go until the US midterm elections, we speak to American voters across the political spectrum to hear how the economy is affecting them. And we are joined by our global affairs reporters to discuss the cyclone approaching India today as well as the fall out from the election result in Brazil.
