All the results from the Israeli election.

Israel goes to the polls and Up All Night is there to bring you the results. We're also at the Australian Open as Serena Williams fights to stay in the tournament.

News from home and abroad 

The Israeli people have spoken - but from the exit polls, it seems they're not all happy. Though exit polls suggest a win for Benjamin Netenyahu - he's back in power with a much reduced majority in his governing coalition. We have live reaction to the results from Tel Aviv and across the Atlantic in the US, where Professor Zeev Maoz from the university of California tells Rhod, in theory, someone could now challenge Mr Netenyahu and predicts forming the next coalition won't be a speedy process.

Was she or wasn't she? The rumours have gone viral online that Beyonce's much lauded performance of the Star Spangled Banner at the presidential inauguration was in fact mimed! Entertainment journalist Kelly Carter tells Up All Night she believes the superstar did lip-synch but that it's not the big controversy it's being made out to be, saying it's common practice for singers to use backing tracks when performing on such a massive stage.

It's bye bye Serena. We're live at the Australian Open through the show for that gripping match which saw Sloane Stephens see off the favourite Serena Williams for a place in the semi finals.
