the country's president, emmanuel macron, called a snap parliamentary vote sunday night after his centrist alliance was trounced by the far—right in european parliament elections. ina in a speech after exit polls are released, he said he could not ignore the results and the dissolving parliament is an act of trust in the french people. translation: the rise - of nationalists and demagogues is a danger for our nation but also for europe, for france's position in europe and in the world. and i say this even though we have just celebrated with the whole world the normandy landing, and as in a few weeks we will welcome the world for the olympic and paralympic games. yes, the far—right is both the result of the impoverishment of the french and the downgrading of our country, so at the end of this day, i cannot act as if nothing had

happened. the far national party was the winner of the election is predicted to win about 30% of the vote, and historic high. he called for elections after the victory became clear, arguing the legitimacy needs to be put to the test. the leader in the national assembly welcomed emmanuel macron at�*s decision to call a snap vote. trees legally these lectures confirm our movement is the major force confirm our movement is the majorforce for change in major force for change in france majorforce for change in france and we are ready to exercise power over the french people tracing their trust in us that his vision elections. we are ready to turn the country around, ready to defend the interest of the french, ready to put an end to mass immigration and ready to make the purchasing power of the french a priority. we are ready to southerly industrialisation of the country, in short, ready to turn the country around, ready to revive france. the

overall winner _ ready to revive france. the overall winner of _ ready to revive france. the overall winner of the - ready to revive france. the overall winner of the elections was the president of the european commission. and her people's party grouping. they picked up a dozen seats taking them once again the largest group and this is her celebrating their win with supporters in brussels but at a press conference in the evening she acknowledged the success of the populist party. the extremes _ the populist party. the extremes on _ the populist party. the extremes on the - the populist party. the extremes on the left . the populist party. the l extremes on the left and the populist party. tie: extremes on the left and the right have gained support, and this is why the results comes with great responsibility for the parties in the centre. i have been working hard to build a broad and effective majority of pro— european forces. my aim is to continue on this path with those who are pro— european, pre— ukraine, pro— rule of law. as of tomorrow, this works out again. the

results and _ this works out again. the results and ups _ this works out again. the results and ups and - this works out again. the results and ups and downs for every political block with results vary widely, country to country, despite wins in germany and france, results through the far—right only picked up an additional three seats in the european parliament. the greens had a bad night, using 19 says, i spoke to a collie earlier by what this could mean. good to have you with us this evening. from the results we see at the moment, we see that right swing. what stands out for you from tonight so far? the x-rays here brussels _ from tonight so far? the x-rays here brussels will— from tonight so far? the x-rays here brussels will tell - from tonight so far? the x-rays here brussels will tell you - from tonight so far? the x-rays here brussels will tell you the l here brussels will tell you the centre and a centre—right has held, but there is definitely a determined definitive shift to the right. the freedom party, the right. the freedom party, the hard right, is on top in austria, in the netherlands they have picked up seven seats, marine le pen transiting emmanuel macron in france, the md emmanuel macron in france, the afd in germany finishing second

and in italy they are on the hard right. top of the pile as well. of huge concern to the commission but no question what the big story is here tonight, faced with that election results in a france, emmanuel macron has denied is called a snap election, dissolving parliament, it will go to the polls the last week injune anniversary canjuly and that is an enormous gamble. the national rally party finishing with 32% of the vote in france, over twice the size of the renaissance party vote. here is hoping he can turn it around in the next few weeks for the french voters on the spot. it is a real risk given what has unfolded tonight in france. b, unfolded tonight in france. a gamble there. emmanuel macron calling it an act of trust and, of course, we will have to see what comes to pass there. from

people you have spoken to there, are they getting an understanding over why some people, apparently voted the way they did, the issue that clearly they are concerned about? ., ., ., ., . about? for our world audience, ou about? for our world audience, you need _ about? for our world audience, you need to _ about? for our world audience, you need to understand - about? for our world audience, you need to understand for- about? for our world audience, i you need to understand for many people across europe, a big electorate, around 370 million which was the american electorate which is around 244 million in america, brussels feels a long way away. it is a domestic politics, their everyday lives that matter to them but there are some issues which cross waters which people will have voted on here, particularly migration and borders and there is a green lash under way here in europe,. i have spoken to the european parliamentary president who said perhaps there was an invisible line we crossed and maybe we wish to hard on the transition and maybe we do not

explain properly to people who had been processing. that is one issue but also a referendum one issue but also a referendum on national governments and you see that in a france and also in germany, the coalition parties in germany fed badly tonight. running in third behind the hard right afd. it is partly a decision on domestic politics but also a feeling within europe that the people in this parliament are not yet understanding the cost—of—living crisis, not doing enough in their minds to turn around the economy posed pandemic and they want more from their parliamentarians and they turned their back in some countries on the mainstream. talking about the feeling there, when it comes to france, for example, a bad night for the party of immanuel mike rann, also when it comes to germany as well. the german chancellor. so often we have

spoken about europe, you look at that nexus of power between at that nexus of power between a france and germany. what does that mean for the balance there in the eu and where the power is held? ., , , ., in the eu and where the power is held? .,, , ., ,., is held? there has been a power shift in europe, _ is held? there has been a power shift in europe, france _ is held? there has been a power shift in europe, france and - shift in europe, france and germany still the engine of europe, the biggest parties in this parliament. people will look towards emmanuel macron and the german chancellor within the european council of leaders but you look to poland and the security brief pushed there, a key figure within the main grouping hearing the european people's people's party, the centre rise. i think there is a broad issue that is affecting these countries, and thatis affecting these countries, and that is they are being pulled to the right by these populist parties, whether that will happen here any is another

question because the centre has held actually on the right they are fairly disparate groupings. taking jordan maloney, the conservatives and reformists, she is pro— ukraine and marine le pen in another group, identity and democracy, she has had a softer approach to russia. they may be able to find some agreement on migration but also many issues these groups have different priorities and so the centre will hope they can pick it that division. they have the numbers from the centre left all the way to the centre—right of the mainstream has held this only there will be more influence on there will be more influence on the writer when it comes to migration, climate, the european budget, which still has to be negotiated here, the question is how much influence the hard right, the populist will have here and that remains to be seen. a key member of israel's war cabinet — which was set up

after the hamas attack last october — resigned from the emergency government on sunday. benny gantz had set a deadline of 8june for israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu to outline the country's long—term strategy in gaza once the war is over. he told reporters that he wasn't satisfied. he is now calling on mr netanyahu to hold elections. this is the moment he confirmed his resignation. translation: unfortunately, netanyahu is preventing us i from approaching true victory, which is the justification for the painful, ongoing crisis. and this is why we quit the national unity government today with a heavy heart. yet we feel that it is the right decision. we are now in the midst of a campaign that will impact the fate of israel generations ahead. in order to guarantee true victory, this coming fall, when it will be the one—year anniversary of this disaster, we should go for elections and reach a new government. i call on netanyahu to set a date for elections. it is important to note that mr gantz was not part

of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's government before the war in gaza. mr gantz had set out 6 strategic goals for israel, including the return of all foreign and israeli hostages still held by hamas in gaza and the return of displaced palestinian civilians to northern gaza byi september. he said he has not been reassured on any of those counts. mr netanyahu appealed to mr gantz to remain in the war cabinet. after mr gantz made his announcement, mr netanyahu posted this message on the social media platform x. 0ur international editor jeremy bowen has been following the developments. this is the quote that in his press conference he was going to settle yesterday but he put it off for 24 hours after the hostage rescue. he said faithful strategic decisions are stark due to hesitation and

procrastination out of political considerations, talking about benjamin netanyahu, by political neta nyahu, by political considerations netanyahu, by political considerations he means the desire to stay in power and perhaps prolong the war when he could be doing a deal. and to avoid the reckoning with the israeli people about the mistakes that led up to the security failures of 7 october was a lot of israelis blame netanyahu for. benny gantz is hoping this move will start the destruction of the netanyahu government and there will be elections in the polls see if there were elections he would become the prime minister. it might backfire because netanyahu is reliant on the votes to keep his coalition are going of ultranationalist far—right elements who won the war to continue into gaza, put settlers into gaza, they will now perhaps have more influence. that was jeremy

bowen there. officials from the hamas—run health ministry in gaza say that the israeli raid on a refugee camp on saturday — in which four hostages were rescued — killed 274 palestinians. several hundred palestinians were also wounded in the raid. hamas accused the israelis of carrying out a massacre. that phrase was echoed by the european union's top diplomat, josep borrell, who described the raid as "another massacre of civilians." more footage has emerged of the rescue — israel used helicopters to evacuate the hostages from an area around the nuseirat refugee camp, in central gaza. the head of the hospital where they are being treated said none of them require emergency care or procedures, but that they will need long—term evaluations. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at another story making the headlines. the wife of the bbc presenter michael mosley, whose death was announced on sunday, has described him as "wonderful, funny, kind and brilliant". he went missing after going for a walk on the greek island

of symi on wednesday. joe inwood has more. on a barren hillside, just metres away from the safety of the beach he'd been heading for, the search for michael mosley finally came to an end. it was on that beach, of agia marina, that the body which has now been identified as michael mosley was found. he was found lying just at the right side of that fence you can see over there, so really close to where people would have been relaxing and playing on this popular and busy beach. we spoke to a police source, who said the body of michael mosley had been there for a number of days. it emerged a greek tv crew discovered the body when they were filming, only noticing his body in their shot when they are editing their pictures. michael mosley was 67 years old. you're live with bbc news. thousands of people gathered at the presidential palace in delhi to watch as narendra

modi was sworn in for a third term as india's prime minster. high—profile guests attended the grand ceremony on sunday, including several asian pacific leaders. mr modi is only the second indian prime minister to serve a third straight term. but this time he will have to lead a coalition government after his bjp party fell short of winnng a parliamentary majority in the general election. 0ur south asia correspondent yogita limaye reports from delhi. i, narendra modi... an oath that narendra modi is more than familiar with. but what follows is uncharted territory. a weakened prime minister, dependent on a coalition for the first time. there are hundreds of pictures of mr modi all over delhi today, and it's something we've gotten used to here in india over these past ten years. his picture's been on welfare schemes, on vaccine certificates, so that doesn't seem to have changed. but what has is that while this is a win, it's a victory that feels

like a defeat for brand modi. the aura of invincibility that has come to surround him has been damaged. and clues to why some voters turned away can be found here in the politically crucial state of uttar pradesh. it was considered to be a stronghold of mr modi's bjp, but it delivered the biggest shock. in a predominantly hindu village in muzaffarnagar, we met men who've traditionally supported the bjp. but not this time, says shyam singh, who has four post—graduate sons who are unemployed. translation: since four years, they have been searching - forjobs, but there are no vacancies. the government talks about development, but we can't see it happen on the ground. price rise has gone beyond limits, it's tough to put food on the table. translation: people had blind faith in modi, - but now they've opened their eyes to the reality around them. a hindu temple

opened by the prime minister ahead of the election, was expected to galvanize votes like these for the ruling party. translation: temples are a matter of faith, i but to feed ourselves, we need work. just opening temples doesn't help us. in another part of the constituency we met people from india's muslim minority who had found themselves to be the target of an overtly divisive campaign by the bjp. translation: when the results came in, we were happy - because we were worried that if they came to power with a full majority, they would make laws that would discriminate against minorities. bell ringing. a leader who's achieved an almost godlike status for his followers has been brought down to earth by the will of india's voters. for mr modi, keeping his allies together will be the test of a new skill.

yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi. suspected islamist gunmen have killed at least 38 people in an overnight attack on villages in eastern democratic republic of congo. local officials and a civil society leader blamed the killings in north kivu province on the allied democratic forces, a militia group with ugandan origins and ties to the islamic state. the adf is also acccused of a village attack that killed 13 people on thursday, as well as one on wednesday that killed at least 16. thousands of people are fleeing to the city of beni in the wake of the assaults. congolese government forces assisted by the ugandan army, have battled the adf in north kivu and neighbouring ituri province since 2021. the adf is just one of several militia groups vying for control of eastern dr congo. for more i spoke to kambale musavuli, analyst at the center for research on the congo—kinshasa.

whenever they operate there, they are creating violence. you can assume for two reasons possibly. the first one is recruitment of civilians in the area to come and destroy or unlisted children into the groups but secondly for the population. we notice the adf attacks are taking place around areas that is rich in oil, particularly the bene area. we see a max exodus of the population in those areas because they know if they stay, after a few days or weeks or a month, they will also be attacked. these are the only two reasons. let's not forget beyond the adf and the militia groups, it shows the inadequacy of this

that a mistake by an air traffic controller led to a near collision between two jets on a foggy runway last year in austin, texas. it is just one of several investigations into close calls on us airport runways. according to the us department of transportation, in 2023 there were 23 incidents where collisions were only narrowly avoided. in the near—miss at austin, a fedex cargo plane was given permission to land as a southwest airlines jet carrying 128 passengers and crew was cleared for take off. investigators say the fedex plane aborted its landing when its first officer spotted the southwest plane on the runway. the fedex aircraft then pulled back into the air, as the southwest jet continued its run for take—off. investigators at the ntsb said inadequate training and a lack of a lack of safety technology were factors in the incident. in may, the us federal aviation administration said they would install the surface detection systems at austin and other airports by the end of 2025.

joining me live is oriana pawlyk, an aviation reporter with politico. always good to have you with us. taking a look at the numbers, we have federal regulators are grappling with this increasing number of close calls on runways across the united states. do we know why that is? {iii united states. do we know why that is? .., , united states. do we know why that is? _, , ., ~ that is? of course it will take some time — that is? of course it will take some time for— that is? of course it will take some time for investigators l that is? of course it will take l some time for investigators to get down to some of these causes but it is neverjust one thing, always a cascading series of elements they had to deal with, as in the austin incident we knew it is an air traffic controller that was not properly trained and it was also foggy that day and we also learned that he was listening for the sound ofjet noise to know whether or not a plane was taking off. last year, as you pointed out, there are 23 incidents and ii of those were

involving at least one passenger airliner. involving at least one passengerairliner. but involving at least one passenger airliner. but is not a great track record and again investigators are boiling down to some of these root causes with the faa looking at one element in the ntsb to try to piece together some of the information that might be missing and to give them more data on what is going on here. the investigations are continuing and in the meantime, we had a safety inspectors taking calls for more technology on the ground to prevent these close calls. how would that work, could have prevented more of these incidents?— prevented more of these incidents? ~ , ., incidents? absolutely, you have heard this _ incidents? absolutely, you have heard this for _ incidents? absolutely, you have heard this for something - incidents? absolutely, you have heard this for something the - heard this for something the ntsb chair said last week that she has been calling for some of these — the organisation has been calling for these technologies where air—traffic controllers can see some of these grant equipment via a video screen right there in the tower instead of listening for jet noise instead. that organisation has called for more of these technologies for

more of these technologies for more than 30 years. only 40 or so airports across the us has some of the most advanced equipment to see some of the ground movement and it is not always exist either in the cockpit over aircraft, even though some newer aircraft are starting to install them, that way you have both elements in the airport and the controllers as well as those new planes getting some of that from the pilots to hear the alarm bells go off when they go the wrong direction in the airport or as they land. direction in the airport or as they tend— direction in the airport or as the land. , , they land. some people might be uuite they land. some people might be quite surprised _ they land. some people might be quite surprised to _ they land. some people might be quite surprised to hear _ they land. some people might be quite surprised to hear that - quite surprised to hear that does not exist more extensively already across the us, and nobody wants to see something trending in the wrong direction. you mentioned some of these incidents, these close calls are also with passenger planes. the question here is how concerned should people be about this?— about this? when it boils down to the root _ about this? when it boils down to the root cause, _ about this? when it boils down to the root cause, everyone . to the root cause, everyone will try to piece together what some of these elements that led

to them and as soon as they get some of that data to uncover it they will they know how to proceed forward. the faa has talked about exploring more technologies and installing more technologies at airports nationwide but, of course, i would not necessarily happen quickly. what it will take is a vigilance on air traffic control side training and vigilance from the pilots as well. , ., ,., vigilance from the pilots as well. , ., ., well. in terms of some of those safety technologies _ well. in terms of some of those safety technologies being - safety technologies being rolled out, there has been some questions raised about whether thatis questions raised about whether that is happening fast enough. what do you hear?— what do you hear? some of it has to do _ what do you hear? some of it has to do with _ what do you hear? some of it has to do with the _ what do you hear? some of it has to do with the recently i has to do with the recently passed faa bill and it gives airports five years with all that, so i think they will every already airports evocative technologies they will need. evocative technologies they will need-— evocative technologies they will need. �* ., will need. always good to get our will need. always good to get your take- — will need. always good to get your take. thank _ will need. always good to get your take. thank you - will need. always good to get your take. thank you for - will need. always good to get your take. thank you for your| your take. thank you for your reporting. you are watching bbc news. thank you for your

company, more at the top of the hour. you can get the latest on our website. see you soon. hello there. weather for the week ahead is perhaps not the story you want. no significant summer sunshine or warmth, i'm afraid. in fact, the story in armagh on sunday really sets the scene — just a high of ten degrees. we had cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle with a cool northerly wind as well. now, that rain is sinking its way steadily southwards and it will clear away from eastern england and south east england during monday morning. behind it, this northerly wind and this cooler air source starts to kick in across the country. so a rash of showers, a cold, brisk wind driving those showers in off exposed coasts and drifting their way steadily south across scotland and northern ireland as we go through the morning. here's our cloud and rain still lingering across east yorkshire,

lincolnshire first thing in the morning, some heavier bursts that will ease away. best of any brighter skies, perhaps across southern england down to the south—west. here, showers should be few and further between. but nevertheless, that wind direction still really digging in right across the country. so sunny spells, scattered showers, a brisk northwesterly wind for many, so temperatures just below par really for this time of year, a maximum of 10—15 degrees for most. we might see highs of 17 or 18 if we get some sunshine across south west england and wales. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, the low pressure drifts off to scandinavia, high pressure builds. it should start to kill off some of the showers out to the west. but with those clearing skies, well, those temperatures will be below path through the night as well, low single figures for some, quite a chilly start to our tuesday morning. hopefully some sunshine around on tuesday. there will continue to be some

showers, most frequent ones running down through central and eastern scotland and england. further west, some brighter skies and once again, highs of 17 degrees, but for many, just a maximum of 10—15 once again. moving out of tuesday into wednesday, winds will fall lighter still for a time, but there's another low pushing in and that will bring some wetter weather to close out the end of the working week. it will gradually start to change the wind direction. so, after a drier day on wednesday, it will turn that little bit milder, but also wetter as we head into the weekend.

india's prime minister begins a third term. we'll look at the challenges he could face when pushing through economic reforms. plus how the death of an actor in the nigerian film industry comparable to hollywood is raising safety concerns. hello and welcome to business today. i'm arunoday mukharji. narendra modi has been been sworn in as india's prime minister for a third consecutive term. however, it marks the first time his bharatiya janata party has needed allies to form a government. so will that impact

mr modi's ability to push through economic reforms? priyanka kishore, the director and principal economist at research company, asia decoded, gave us her take. modi is actually working with an alliance which has a lot of experience of pushing through reforms in the government. of course, i think that there will be a slowdown in the decision making in certain areas and the big bang reforms that people are expecting that won't come through. but will not completely see a stalling. labour reforms, i think, will be prioritised.— be prioritised. and we can debate the _ be prioritised. and we can debate the outcomes, - be prioritised. and we can debate the outcomes, but be prioritised. and we can - debate the outcomes, but the reality that many people talk about is that in the last ten years, india has been bold economic decisions as well made by the bjp government, and many feel that that has worked, in a way, for international investors. are you likely to see that continue?-

investors. are you likely to see that continue? the decision makin: see that continue? the decision making means _ see that continue? the decision making means that _
