<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has suffered an important defeat in his bid to hang on as premier by failing to form a new government, but his opponent faced similar difficulties on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Ex-military chief Benny Gantz is now expected to be given the chance to try to negotiate a coalition by President Reuven Rivlin, but a deadlock following September 17 polls remains and yet another election cannot be ruled out.</p>

<p>It would be the third election within a year after Netanyahu also failed to form a coalition after April polls.</p>

<p>Netanyahu's decision to inform Rivlin on Monday night that he has been unable to form a government by no means signalled the end of his tenure as Israel's longest-serving prime minister.</p>

<p>He remains premier as long as no new government is formed, and a number of scenarios exist that could see him retain his post even as he faces the possibility of corruption charges in the weeks ahead.</p>

<p>One of the few things clear in Israel's post-electoral morass was that Netanyahu, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Monday, was not giving up.</p>

<p>But his announcement was a landmark moment in Israeli politics since Netanyahu has been given the president's mandate to form a government after every election since 2009.</p>

<p>When announcing his decision with a social media video, Netanyahu sought to blame Gantz since the ex-military chief has refused to negotiate on the premier's preferred terms.</p>

<p>One of Netanyahu's closest allies, Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, argued Tuesday that the prime minister had been "obstructed" in negotiations.</p>

<p>"Disagreements don't prevent negotiations," he told Israel's army radio.</p>

<p>"To the contrary, one comes to negotiations when one begins with disagreements. Therefore, if Benny Gantz offers Netanyahu to sit down with him one-on-one, I'm confident that Netanyahu will sit with him."</p>

<p>Israeli public television reporters caught up with Gantz outside his home after a workout on Tuesday morning.</p>

<p>"We're always optimistic, it's a way of life," he said from behind the wheel of his car, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt.</p>

<p>A senior member of his centrist Blue and White alliance was strongly critical of Netanyahu.</p>

<p>"What has Bibi done with the mandate to build a government? Four weeks of nothing," Ofer Shelah said on Twitter, using Netanyahu's nickname.</p>

<p>"He passed the time in order to continue as prime minister for a little while longer ... Bibi wants elections. That is obvious."</p>

<p>Rivlin said Monday night he intends to ask Gantz to try to form a government, but he can take up to three days to hear out the parties elected to parliament before officially tasking him with doing so.</p>

<p>The Blue and White leader had no political experience before he mounted his challenge to the prime minister he once worked with as military chief of staff but has now found himself at the doorstep of power.</p>

<p>Whether he can enter the office Netanyahu has held for a total of more than 13 years however is a challenge that could bedevil even the most skilled politicians.</p>

<p>The deadlock following September 17 polls will likely require major concessions or a decision by members of Netanyahu's right-wing Likud to abandon him, and both of those options appear a long way off for now.</p>

<p>Both Likud and Blue and White say they want a unity government, but they are divided on how.</p>

<p>Likud has been seeking to negotiate based on a compromise set out by Rivlin that takes into account the possibility the premier will be indicted for corruption in the upcoming weeks.</p>

<p>It could see him remain prime minister for now, but step aside at some point later as he combats the charges.</p>

<p>Gantz would take over as acting premier under such a scenario.</p>

<p>Blue and White say Gantz should be prime minister first under any rotation arrangement since his party won the most seats, finishing with 33 compared to Likud's 32.</p>

<p>Gantz also says Blue and White cannot serve in a government with a prime minister facing serious indictment.</p>

<p>Netanyahu has added a further complication to the coalition talks.</p>

<p>He has pledged not to abandon the smaller right-wing and religious parties that support him in parliament, saying he represents the entire bloc in coalition negotiations.</p>

<p>That condition is also unacceptable to Gantz, who says it would mean Blue and White joining a Netanyahu government as a junior member.</p>

Netanyahu suffers defeat in failing to form Israeli government

<p>Reckitt Benckiser's new chief executive promised on Tuesday to step up spending on its brands and improve performance after the British household goods maker cut its full-year sales forecast for a second time.</p>

<p>Shares of the Durex condom and Lysol disinfectant maker fell as much as 5.5 per cent to £55.10, the lowest since May last year.</p>

<p>"We are not pleased with where we are and we must consistently deliver," Laxman Narasimhan, who took over from long-time CEO Rakesh Kapoor in September, said on his first call with the investment community.</p>

<p>He said his top priorities were to improve operational performance and build a resilient business model after a series of one-off setbacks kept a lid on growth in recent years.</p>

<p>Narasimhan particularly lamented the performance of the firm's Health business, its largest, where a failed product launch, the nearly $17 billion acquisition of Mead Johnson, and a temporary baby milk factory shut down in the Netherlands, have all caused significant disruption, some lasting to this day.</p>

<p>To fix these issues, he promised to invest more in Reckitt's brands, hire more talent and improve relationships with retailers, distributors and trade partners to head off problems such as inventory destocking, which hit third-quarter results.</p>

<p>Narasimhan said the company would pause any activities that might take attention away from improving operational performance, but added its ongoing RB 2.0 plan, which seeks to split the group into two business units, would not be affected.</p>

<p>The new CEO said he would provide a more detailed long-term strategy at the company's annual results in February.</p>

<p><strong>'Sackcloth and&nbsp;ashes'</strong></p>

<p>Reckitt said it now expected like for like sales growth between flat and up 2 per cent this year, down from its previous target of 2-3 per cent. That was the second cut this year from an initial target of 3-4 per cent growth.</p>

<p>Reported sales rose 5.3 per cent in the third quarter to £3.29 billion, missing analysts' forecast of £3.32 billion, according to a company-supplied consensus.</p>

<p>Reckitt blamed a drop in retail orders for flu products such as Mucinex in the United States and a weak demand for its Enfamil baby products in China on the back of intense competition and declining birth rates.</p>

<p>"What has happened this year and it is abundantly clear is we were not close enough to (the thinking) of those retailers to get a good reading of what was going to happen," outgoing finance chief Adrian Hennah told analysts on a call.</p>

<p>Reckitt said on Monday Hennah would be replaced by Ahold-Delhaize executive Jeff Carr.</p>

<p>Overall, Reckitt's like for like sales growth came in at 1.6 per cent in&nbsp;the third quarter, missing analysts' forecast of 3.2 per cent.</p>

<p>The company also said it would now see a modest decline in adjusted operating margins for the year as it reinvests in its brands. The company had earlier expected margins to be around the same level as last year.</p>

<p>"New CEO Laxman Narasimhan's debut commentary reflects a big helping of sackcloth and ashes tempered by a dose of optimism," Jefferies analyst Martin Deboo said.</p>

<p>"The lowered outlook will create some room for maneuver, at inevitable cost to the share price."</p>

<p>Reckitt's shares were down 2.3&nbsp;percent at&nbsp;5,732 pence at 1040 GMT.</p>

New CEO vows improvements as Reckitt cuts sales forecast again

<p>Hong Kong's embattled government announced extra financial support on Tuesday for the Chinese-ruled city battered by <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/tear-gas-and-water-cannon-as-crowds-defy-hong-kong-rally-ban-257060">political unrest</a> and facing its first recession in a decade.</p>

<p>Massive and violent anti-government protests over the past five months have shaken Hong Kong's reputation as an Asian financial centre and damaged its all important tourism and retail sectors, with many businesses forced to close.</p>

<p>Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced relief measures of $255 million&nbsp;to support the city's economy, particularly in its transport, tourism and retail industries.</p>

<p>"Since the economic situation is worsening quite fast, we rolled out this package to target certain sectors which are hard hit," Chan told a news conference.</p>

<p>The move follows a $2.4 billion&nbsp;package in August to support the underprivileged and businesses, and Chan said more assistance would be given if needed. The support measures would ultimately increase the "probability of a fiscal deficit", but the government's finances were strong, he said.</p>

<p>A government colleague said the best medicine for the economy would be fewer, less violent protests.</p>

<p>"If society could come to harmony, with less demonstrations, and perhaps the stoppage of violence, that would help even more than what we can offer," Secretary for Transport and Housing Frank Chan told the news conference.</p>

<p>As yet, there seems no end in sight to the pro-democracy protests, or the violent ways of hardcore activists who have fought with police, throwing petrol bombs and bricks.</p>

<p>After a few weeks of relative calm, a massive march on Sunday by tens of thousands of protesters, ranging from young students to the elderly, descended in chaos with riot police and black-clad protesters staging running clashes into the night.</p>

<p>On Monday night riot police again fired tear gas to disperse smaller <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/hong-kong-unrest-democracy-crowds-defy-police-after-activists-attacked-257019">groups of protesters</a> and were jeered by angry residents who believe police are using excessive force.</p>

<p>The unrest was sparked by concerns Beijing was tightening its grip on Hong Kong and has developed into worst political crisis since Britain handed the city back to China in 1997.</p>

<p>It also poses the biggest popular challenge to China's President Xi Jinping since he came to power. Xi has warned he would crush any attempt to split China.</p>

<p>China has rejected charges it is eroding Hong Kong's freedoms under a "one country, two systems" rule which allows the city 's residents more freedoms than on the mainland.</p>

<p>Beijing says nations, like Britain and the United States, are inciting the unrest.</p>

<p>During the clashes the past few months, police have fired more than 3,000 rounds of tear gas and hundreds of rubber bullets against protesters throwing petrol bombs and bricks. Police said protesters detonated a small home made bomb, but no one was hurt.</p>

<p>Two people have been shot and wounded by police and thousands injured since the protests escalated in June. More than 2,600 people have been arrested, one as young as 12.</p>

<p>The Hong Kong government will have a chance on Wednesday to formally withdraw a<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/extradition-bill-fury-likely-to-fuel-numbers-at-hong-kong-annual-rally-231787"> China extradition bill</a>, one of the protesters five demands, when it receives a second reading in the Legislative Council.</p>

<p>Chief Executive Carrie Lam had reluctantly agreed to pull the bill two-and-a-half months after protests erupted in June, but it has still to be formally withdrawn.</p>

<p>An earlier opportunity was lost last Wednesday when heckling pro-democracy lawmakers forced the suspension of the parliament.</p>

<p>If the bill was passed into law, residents could extradited to Communist Party-controlled courts in mainland China, and it was seen as the latest attempt by Beijing to tighten its grip on Hong Kong, which enjoys an independent judiciary.</p>

<p>Even if the government does withdraw it, the move is not expected to end the unrest which has widened into a pro-democracy movement fuelled by grievances such as social inequality and claims of police brutality.</p>

<p>Protesters are now also demanding universal suffrage, an independent inquiry into police actions, an amnesty for those arrested in protests, and an end to labelling protesters as rioters. Rioting carries a maximum 10-year jail term.</p>

<p>Lam has rejected those four demands, steadfastly defending police actions and calling for protesters to stop the violence.</p>

<p>She has further infuriated protesters by invoking a colonial-era emergency law banning face masks at pubic rallies. Protesters and residents have been defying the ban, despite the risk of a maximum one-year jail term.</p>

<p>Kesha, the 'Rainbow'&nbsp;singer released the trailer of her new studio album 'High Road'&nbsp;on Monday. It heralds the coming of her first album since 2017's 'Rainbow'.<br />
<br />
The trailer focuses on the vintage clips of the American landscape and extracts of new songs. In an interview with a magazine, Kesha got candid stating "I've seen the light: life is like driving across the country in a pretty small Astrovan, with your whole family in it, for 90 years," she said.<br />
<br />
"Because I think life is a vacation from where we go when we die". The trailer features clips that hint at upcoming music videos. In one of the scenes, the 'Die Young'&nbsp;star is shown as a brunette attired in a pink silk nightie and is shown dancing through a supermarket aisle of Magic Cereal.<br />
<br />
"While sharing her experiences, the 'Tik Tok'&nbsp;star said "When I made 'Rainbow', I was in a very different headspace," the Grammy-nominated star says".I had to address some very serious things. But now, on my new record, I revisit my roots of pure and utter debaucherous joy. Kesha got her balls back, and they're bigger than ever.<br />
So have a good time while you're on this road trip from hell.<br />

<p>Veteran actor Mahesh Manjrekar's daughter Saiee, who is set to mark her Bollywood debut with 'Dabangg 3', looked innocent&nbsp;in the first look poster shared by Salman Khan on Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Bollywood's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'&nbsp;shared the motion poster on his Instagram page while introducing the new face. In the video, Salman can be seen calling Saiee as his baby Khushi.<br />
<br />
A few moments later, Salman shared another post and captioned, "Hamari pure innocent masoom Khushi". Doing justice with the title given, the newbie Saiee can be seen donning a simple ghagra choli with her hair blown by the wind. She completed her desi look with black bindi and a pair of long earrings.</p>

<p>Post exit poll projections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership is a confident lot as they feel that the party is on its way to retain its governments in both Maharashtra and Haryana.</p>

<p>Speaking to ANI, Haryana in charge and Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar stated that exit polls are somewhat matching BJP`s pre-polls assessment that it will return to power with over two-third majority.</p>

<p>"BJP has been saying that we are contesting elections on the issue of development and performance of our incumbent governments. Maharashtra government performance was excellent and Haryana got a corruption-free and honest government after a long time," Tomar said.</p>

<p>"Haryana residents have forgotten that there is a quality called honesty in the government and BJP had to gain from its honest image. Voters are getting aware and voting for Narendra Modi and for Nation," Tomar added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The results for the Assembly polls will be declared on October 24, while the polling for the two states took place on Monday.</p>

<p>The senior minister also claimed that the BJP did not have a viable competitor in these polls.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"People have voted on issues of policies, performance and principles. They rose above narrow-minded politics of caste and voted for BJP. Opposition was not even a factor," he said.</p>

<p>Pointing towards this lack of concerted opposition efforts in these polls, he said, "On different seats, we faced competition from different parties. On some Jannayak Janata Party gave us competition, whereas on the others INLD and Congress candidates posed a challenge."</p>

<p>The senior leader outrightly rejected claims by former chief minister and Congress leader BS Hooda that the Congress was forming the government with an absolute majority.</p>

<p>"Hooda ji ka jijaji prem poore Haryana ko maloom hai. (Everyone in Haryana knows Hooda`s love for his brother-in-law), " he added.</p>

<p>Talking about position of opposition in the polls, Rattan Lal Kataria, Minister of State for Jal Shakti, who hails from Haryana, said, "If you add zero to the earlier performance of zero, you will get a zero. If you say it a better performance, then so be it. And even Congress will lose seats. I am from Ambala Lok Sabha constituency. My Lok Sabha has seen hattrick. All 9 Assembly seats have come to BJP and I can assure you even this fourth time, we will get all 9 seats."Kataria thinks the many top leaders of Opposition barring one or two had joined BJP ahead of polls.</p>

<p>"We want a strong opposition in democratic setup, but opposition was marred by its internal feud," stated the minister.&nbsp;</p>
