Israeli exit polls suggest Gadi Eisenkot's bloc has won the largest number of seats in the general election but has fallen short of a majority. Eisenkot leads the newly formed Yashar party and is the main figure in the "change bloc", a group of opposition parties with the shared goal of ousting Benjamin Netanyahu. We hear from one of the party's candidates. Also on the programme: the United States says it has issued visas for Flavio Bolsonaro, who on Sunday lost Brazil's presidential election, and his family. Bolsonaro is reported to have fled his home country after being order to surrender his passport by Brazil's Supreme Court amid allegations of money laundering.
