10:01 pm
to have taken the most votes in the french parliamentary election. but leaders of the left and centre have called for france to unite against marine le pen in the second round next sunday. in the last hour, the french president gabriel attal has called on voters to not give a single vote to the national rally. translation: night is not a night like any other, you know me, i am night is not a night like any other, you know me, iam not night is not a night like any other, you know me, i am not about to beat about the bush. the lesson tonight is the far right is on the doorstep of power. never before in our democracy has the national assembly risked being dominated by the extreme right as is tonight. our objective is clear, to prevent the national rally from having an absolute majority in the second round, from dominating the national assembly, and therefore governing the country. i say this with force, ideal to —— i appeal to everyone of
10:02 pm
our vultures. ideal to —— i appeal to everyone of ourvultures. not ideal to —— i appeal to everyone of our vultures. not a single vote must go to the national rally. we deserve no hesitation, if you want to live up no hesitation, if you want to live up to france's destiny and our moral duty to prevent the worst from happening. our southern europe correspondent mark lowen is in paris with the latest. the way the electoral system works is if no candidate gets above 50% in the first round today it goes to a second round run—off, so there is now going to be a tense horse tracing between who came second and third, the left and president macron�*s centrist coalition as to whether any of them dropped out and rally behind the candidate who could stop the far right in next sunday's second—round elections. gabriel attal saying we must stop the national rally from an absolute majority. that is 289 seats in france's 500 and square track seat assembly. it is a moral duty to stop
10:03 pm
the worst from happening, this would harm our country and we must stop candidates who do not defend france's moral values. that shows you the dabs of turmoil france is in after emanuel macron took that gamble, a gruesome calculation —— a gross miscalculation possibly. the far right have one in this first round and come out on top with the leftist coalition behind and president macron�*s centrist coalition trailing in third place. many of these races go to a second round. let's unpick the soul. first of all, jubilation in the far right national rally. marine le pen, the de facto of that party, will be running for the presidential election in 2027, she spoke to her crowd of supporters as the exit polls came through. translation:-

10:05 pm
have been or should have been. president macron has made a statement, he has not spoken yet publicly but made a statement. he said... that is a call from president macron for a united front to stop the national rally. we will have to see whether people heed that warning. he won't france could go into civil war if they voted for the far right or left wing in this election. that warning was not heeded by voters today. let's unpick this with our guests who join us my on bbc news. today. let's unpick this with our guests whojoin us my on bbc news. a journalist specialising on world affairs and a political analyst and journalist. thank you for being with

10:07 pm
wondering who is actually now in charge of this government and how many allies emmanuel macron has. fix, many allies emmanuel macron has. a big question for france's allies, for europe and the global order. where does this leave france on the world stage? it is where does this leave france on the world stage?— world stage? it is a difficult situation — world stage? it is a difficult situation for _ world stage? it is a difficult situation for our _ world stage? it is a difficult situation for our partners i world stage? it is a difficult l situation for our partners who world stage? it is a difficult - situation for our partners who have not been _ situation for our partners who have not been able to react right now, but it _ not been able to react right now, but it is— not been able to react right now, but it is good to remind our reviewers— but it is good to remind our reviewers it is an unprecedented unseen — reviewers it is an unprecedented unseen high score for the far right that leaves— unseen high score for the far right that leaves us close to countries like hungary. we can see the green vote was_ like hungary. we can see the green vote was very low in the european election. — vote was very low in the european election. so— vote was very low in the european election, so all the questions around — election, so all the questions around climate change will not be solved _ around climate change will not be solved by— around climate change will not be solved by the government led by the far right _ solved by the government led by the far right it— solved by the government led by the far right. it is very difficult to predict — far right. it is very difficult to predict that it will coalition can be formed at the last week because we have _ be formed at the last week because we have parties that are extremely divided _ we have parties that are extremely divided within their roots and a different— divided within their roots and a different programme. let�*s divided within their roots and a different programme. let's talk about the global _ different programme. let's talk about the global order. - different programme. let's talk about the global order. ukrainej
10:08 pm
about the global order. ukraine depends on support from the west, the national rally, the far right now supports ukraine but this is a party that accepted a big loan from a russian bank. marine le pen was in moscow to get put in place at plessey before the 2017 election. if they get into power, what could that mean for the conflict? it is they get into power, what could that mean for the conflict?— mean for the conflict? it is a scary move for our— mean for the conflict? it is a scary move for our partners. _ mean for the conflict? it is a scary - move for our partners. rassemblement national has strong links with russia. jordan bardella could become prime minister and has insisted he will not change france's direction in terms of solidarity with ukraine, but in terms of monetary fund and decisions, that could come very quickly and have no more support for ukraine. actually, there was a decision made to send millions to the ukrainian army that has not been voted in parliament which is now hanging. voted in parliament which is now hanrain. ., , ., , , ., hanging. calls from the president to rall the hanging. calls from the president to rally the troops _ hanging. calls from the president to rally the troops to _ hanging. calls from the president to rally the troops to block _ hanging. calls from the president to rally the troops to block the - rally the troops to block the national rally, but we are talking

tent to be protests and demonstrations. what we are looking at now are the supporters of the grouping of the new popularfront, that grouping together of france's four main left—leaning and green parties that came together to try to block the far—right party, the national rally party, from doing what we believe they have done, if those exit polls to actually show us, are exact, because at the moment the exit polls from this first round of the french parliamentary elections shall be national rally, that far—right party have 34% of the vote, and this alliance of

10:13 pm
in paris. let's turn from the french election to the football tournament the euros 2024. england have come within a minute of being knocked out — but managed to beat slovakia to secure their place in the last eight. they went behind in the first half and needed a goal deep into injury time at the end of the second half, from jude bellingham, to equalise. butjust a couple of minutes into extra time a goalfrom harry kane gave them the lead, which they held, giving them victory in the last 16 tie. 0ur reporterjoe inwood watched the game at a fans zone in brixton, south london — where it was a very tense afternoon for the england fans. i'm just about starting to calm down after what was the most extraordinary 120 minutes of football. now, we shouldn't let what happened in the last, you know, 31 minutes
10:14 pm
take away from the fact that the start of this was pretty diabolical from england's perspective. and i'm not saying it was a game of two halves. i can't do the maths quickly enough, but it was very much a game of two parts, because until that bicycle kick from jude bellingham in what was the 95th minute of football, the mood here was funereal. the fans at pop brixton had been sympathetic to gareth southgate before the match started. they'd been optimistic and as the game wore on and england were really, really poor, i think it is fair to say you heard the commentary from our colleagues at itv and lee dixon there was saying that he couldn't believe that they weren't making changes. he couldn't believe that they weren't doing something. and what happened in the end was essentially a moment of individual magic, ofjust sheer good fortune and sheer class from jude bellingham that put england level with slovakia and through to extra time. and after that, my word. i've very rarely experienced an atmosphere like it at a match like it.
10:15 pm
and at the end, when the full time whistle went and england were 2—1 victors, harry kane having scored the second one from a knockdowned ivan toney, it felt like england had won the euros in here. there were cries of heyjude. there was three lions being sung. there was sweet caroline. all the anthems. it really was remarkable. and i think england are now going through with a feeling of positivity, not because of the quality of the performance, but because of the nature of the victory. and i think that that is going to put them through with a feel good factor, which maybe was lacking after that lacklustre 0—0 draw that we had against slovenia in the final game of the group stage and so, you know, england fans have finished this evening on a high, even if it was kind of an emotional roller coaster to get there. well, that's an understatement isn't it? look, england fans, joe,
10:16 pm
you're so fickle, aren't you? let's face it. because before bellingham equalised, you were questioning gareth southgate's future. where's the love? where's the consistency? i can one up you. i was live on air with our colleagues at sports day with two people calling for gareth southgate to be immediately dismissed. and i probably was not disagreeing with them, possibly in my mind and possibly on air, that this was it. he had humiliated the team and he must go immediately when the goal went in. and after that within minutes, gareth southgate chants are going round. you know, you are correct. england fans have been extraordinarily fickle. but i would say it's possibly another way. it's that england fans have maybe forgiven or overlooked or put up with some very, very poor performances. and there's been a well of support and a fondness
10:17 pm
for gareth southgate in the way that he's managed this team. that means that they were happy to kind of continue supporting and to overlook those very negative performances. and i'll tell you what, tonight very much proves that point. he is brutal, isn't he? but it was a really tense game. one other game at the euros today — and spain beat one of the surprise teams of the tournament so far — overcoming georgia 4—1. georgia took the lead in the first half — with an own goal from robin le normand. but this strike by rodri meant the game was level going into half time. but three goals in the second half — including this strike from nico williams meant spain ran out comfortable winners in the end. their reward is a quarter final against the hosts, germany, next friday. much more on our website on the euros. the bbc has seen and heard evidence that israeli troops in the occupied
10:18 pm
west bank carried injured palestinian men on the bonnet of a military jeep at least three times during an operation injenin earlier this month. it follows a video that emerged last week showing one of the men, mujahid abadi balas, being driven on the front of the car, sparking international concern. the bbc has now spoken to two more people who say the same thing happened to them, as our middle east correspondent lucy williamson reports from jenin. mujahid's encounter with israel's army is written over his body. gunshot wounds to his leg and shoulder, burns and bruises, from where he was forced onto the bonnet of a militaryjeep. "they told me not to hold on", he said. "i was saying my final prayers. i didn't expect to survive." the video of his journey caused international outrage, but mujahid was not the only one. samir, shot in the back during the same military raid, was unable to stand, he told us, but was
10:19 pm
carried to an army vehicle, stripped of his trousers and thrown onto the bonnet. this video appears to show him half naked on the same armyjeep. both men were shot here in the jabriyat area ofjenin, as israeli forces came to arrest a wanted man. the walls still marked by sniper fire. hisham said he too was shot and put on the front of the same jeep in the olive grove below the house. translation: i tried to put my hand on the jeep, i couldn't. _ it was burning hot, but they forced me saying that i should get on it if i didn't want to die. israel's army said mujahid's case violated orders and procedures and would be investigated. it said the new allegations we put to them were under review. all three men were quickly released by the army. jenin has been a target for israeli
10:20 pm
raids since the 7th of october. since then, more than 120 palestinians have been killed there by israeli forces — civilians and fighters. but armed men still patrol the camp and the battle has not subsided. translation: what the israeli army doesn't know is the resistance - is an idea planted in the heart. it will not stop. if one palestinian gets killed, five more will replace him. during an israeli operation this week, bombs buried deep in the roads hit troops as they drove in, killing one soldier and wounding 16 others. this battle began long before the gaza war. but tactics here on both sides are shifting in its wake, and the behaviour of israeli troops is under scrutiny here too. this is different territory to gaza, but it's the same adversaries, the same war.

lucy williamson, bbc news, jenin. the spanish civil guard has called off the search for the missing british teeenagerjay slater. the 19—year—old from lancashire has been missing in tenerife since 17th june, after he told a friend he was lost in the mountains. police carried out a new search on saturday with the help of dozens of emergency workers near the village of masca, in the rural de teno national park. 0ur correspondent guy hedgecoe gave us this update. iam i am actually in masca and right in front of the place where jay slater was last sighted onjune the 17th walking along the road behind me that morning. ever since then, there has been a search organised by the local police which has involved helicopters, drones, personnel on the ground, sniffer dogs and you
10:22 pm
mentioned that search was ramped up yesterday with rescue services and local volunteers. all of those search efforts have so far been in vain, they have not provided any information or any trace of jay slater�*s whereabouts, and the police today said they have called off that search, although the investigation remains open. that is where we are at at the moment, the search by the local authorities has been halted, although the investigation does remain open. the glastonbury festival ends tonight, with the american r&b star, scissa, headlining the pyramid stage. shania twain has just performed there, in the famed legends slot. katie razzall�*s at glastonbury. let's go girls! glastonbury has been getting ready.

10:24 pm
part of a wider problem in the music industry. well, they're always telling us, well, you don't draw. you know, it'sjust like anything else. there's a lot of women in music today. there's a lot of voices. and i think that it's important that you just keep going forward. help me sing. award winning camila cabello is 27 years old, with four albums and all too aware of the sexism in her business. there's definitely times in hindsight where i've been like, oh, ifeel like i maybe have gotten treated differently in the studio, or maybe my voice hasn't been taken as seriously. out of that hardship comes, you know, these incredible artists like sza, like dua lipa. we put on like incredible shows because we work ten times harder. for more than 25 years, shania twain's held the record for the world's best selling album by a female artist, and she's certainly showcased her pulling power today.
