Israeli election "too close to call"

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Israel's governing Likud party and the opposition Zionist Union are neck-and-neck in Israel's general election, according to exit polls. We hear from Dr. Yonatan Mendel, Researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge, what this will mean for the country's foreign and internal affairs. Days after Cyclone Pam hit the pacific nation of Vanuatu, we assess the economic impact and the UN's Special Envoy for Climate Change tells us the disaster is a sign the world's weather system has changed. PLUS it's technology inspired by the film 'Terminator', but how excited should we be about liquid 3-D printing technology? Michael Molitch-Hou, editor of 3D Printing Industry, assesses this latest development. From Los Angeles, we are joined by Marketplace reporter Noel King and from Singapore, by Simon Littlewood of Asia Now Consulting Group.
