Exit polls suggest that Israel’s governing coalition has lost ground in a general election that’d seen an unusually high turnout across the country. The polls indicate return to power for the right-wing alliance led by the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but with a substantially reduced majority. They show an unexpected surge of support for the new centrist party Yesh Atid led by a former television presenter Yair Lapid. Kevin Connolly reports from Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud Party headquarters in Tel Aviv.

As news of the television exit polls flashed on the giant screen at Likud headquarters, partying activists cheered and celebrated it. It was more relief than real jubilation. The polls suggest that the combined list led by Mr. Netanyahu has lost 1/4 of its seats. But that should still leave him in the position to form a coalition. At one point the headquarters was crackling with rumors that he’d done even worse. Parties of left and right both picked up seats. The result of the picture is of a fragmented parliament. The likely outcome, Mr. Netanyahu, a great survivor, has survived again.
當(dāng)利庫(kù)德集團(tuán)總部的巨大屏幕上閃現(xiàn)民意測(cè)驗(yàn)的電視報(bào)道時(shí),黨派活動(dòng)家們歡呼雀躍,為此慶祝。與其說(shuō)是真正的 慶祝,不如說(shuō)是種解脫、放松。測(cè)驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明由內(nèi)塔尼亞胡先生領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的聯(lián)盟在國(guó)會(huì)中已經(jīng)失去1/4的席位。但是,他仍然有能力再成立一個(gè)新聯(lián)盟。在這座總部大 廈里曾經(jīng)謠言四起,說(shuō)他過(guò)去的表現(xiàn)太糟糕了。左右兩黨紛紛獲得了席位。最后的局面就是一個(gè)支離破碎的國(guó)會(huì)。很可能結(jié)局就是,內(nèi)塔尼亞胡先生,一個(gè)偉大的幸 存者,再一次幸存下來(lái)。
The French President Francois Hollande and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel have marked 50 years of friendship between their two countries.

The European Union has allowed 11 of its member states to introduce a new tax designed to discourage financial speculation. It’s expected the tax will be levied on every trade in bonds, shares and other financial products. Supporters think the tax will raise billions of Euros, but critics think trading will simply move elsewhere.

The flood sent tons of mud flowing down rivers forcing the closure of the plants. As a result, some 600,000 families in Santiago, around a third of the city’s population have been left without water. The authorities have been distributing emergency supplies from tankers. People rushed out to buy bottled water and restaurants have been forced to close. Santiago citizens have been told only to use hospitals if they really need to. The problem could hardly have come at a worse time. This is the middle of the Chilean summer when temperatures regularly top 30℃.
