welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. the headlines. marine le pen�*s hard—right national rally party is projected to have won the most votes in the first round of the parliamentary election in france. a harry kane header in extra time gives england victory over slovakia at euro 202a. police on the spanish island of tenerife say their investigation into the disappearance of the british teenager, jay slater, will continue, despite their decision to call off the search. and as r&b singer sza closes the glastonbury festival — we'll bring you a special report on this year's women headliners.

it's seven in the morning in singapore, and one in the morning in paris, where exit polls from the first round of france's parliamentary elections, suggest the far right have made historic gains. turnout was the highest, for forty years. marine le pen�*s hard right national rally party came top, with more than a third of the vote, followed by a surge in support for the left wing coalition, with around 28% of the vote. president macron�*s gamble to hold the snap election, saw his centre right alliance of parties relegated to third place. a final result won't be known for another week, with a second round of voting for the national assembly's 577 seats, next sunday. andrew harding, has the latest from paris. a kiss for marine le pen this morning. a politician once considered too extreme for most

french voters, today her national rally is on a roll. and with le pen, her 28—year—old protege jordan bardella, who's hoping to be france's next prime minister. results show their party, on the left, has won over a third of all votes cast — a stunning result foran anti—immigrant, euroskeptic populist platform. a political earthquake in the making, perhaps. this evening, le pen told the country it had no reason to fear a government led by the national rally. but this fight is not over yet. president emmanuel macron took a huge gamble by calling the election. "smile," says the child, and he does. the french president is now hoping a broad alliance of the centre and left can keep the national rally out of power in a second round of voting.

but there's no guarantee that will work. in paris today, preparations for the upcoming olympic games. but france's political polarisation is causing alarm. i think it's concerning that we have people in our country who vote at extremes. it used to be more a small part of the population, but we can see today that it's kind of a lot of the population who votes either far right or either far left. left—wing protesters gathering tonight in central paris, some calling the hard right fascists. there is anxiety here and a huge amount at stake for france and indeed for all of europe. andrew harding, bbc news, paris. my colleague mark lowen spent the weekend in paris — following developments — and he sent us this update. so it has happened. france's national rally, the far right winning the first round of this parliamentary election.

all the opinion polls before the vote had suggested this was going to happen, and indeed it has taken place. now there will be horse trading between the opposing opposition candidates as to who drops out and whether they can rally behind a united candidate to try to stop the far right in next sunday's second round election from getting an absolute majority. but the centre, the left, they are disunited. there is a lot of bad blood between them. can they rally behind a united front? this is the far right national rally party. a party that is hard line on immigration, for example, wants to stop the automatic right of foreigners born here in france to get french nationality. they want to give priority to french people over immigrants in terms of social welfare spending. so there is going to be a huge push from the opposition to try to block the far right from getting that absolute majority, potentially forcing france into a hung parliament and potentially paralysis as well. remember, president macron came to power here pledging to revive the political centre to bridge right and left.

what he's actually done and what has happened under his watch, is to polarise and push people into the extremes of right and left. there will be a lot of people tonight who will be furious at president macron for a gamble that has misfired, a trap that perhaps has ensnared himself, and indeed france as well, will have huge implications, potentially for this country and for the european union as a whole. and could, if this were to be replicated on sunday, lead to this country having its first far—right government since the second world war. with just days to go before the uk election, rishi sunak has been defending the conservatives record in government. he told the bbc that the uk is a better place to live in now, than it was when the tories took office in 2010. he's also once again accused labour of planning to put up taxes, but they say their plans are fully costed. here's leila nathoo. the two candidates to be the next prime minister, seeing perhaps their own fortunes

in england's performance. for keir starmer, the result was never in doubt. "it's not over until it's over, "says rishi sunak. no, no, no. i've got to pay for this. only a few more days of encounters like this — rishi sunak visiting a bakery in north london this afternoon. have you had a nice weekend? thank you. with the election now around the corner today, he maintained he would still be prime minister on friday and defended his party's record when challenged over whether the country was better now than when the conservatives took charge. we had a once in a century pandemic, followed by a war in ukraine that drove up everyone�*s bills. and, of course, that's been difficult for everybody. but we've also made progress in tackling those things — inflation back to normal, the economy growing again, wages rising, energy bills set to fall again just next week. and now we're able to start cutting people's taxes to give them financial security. labour took a break from big campaign events today, but are mindful of the fact they need their huge lead in the polls to actually

translate into votes. i'm proud of the campaign that we've run. i think we've put forward real and meaningful change and done it with an eye on responsibility because of the legacy that we're going to get after 14 years of the tories. but change will only come if people vote for it on thursday. winning back seats in scotland is one of labour's tasks next week. the snp accused both main parties of not being honest with voters about what lies ahead. there is that conspiracy of silence. there's £18 billion worth of public sector cuts, which are agreed by both the labour party and the conservative party. that's a choice that they are making at this election. we, of course, oppose that. we believe that there should be investment in our public services, investment in our nhs, and we need to get away from this race to the bottom on austerity that exists in westminster. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, is ending his campaign as it began with stunts that make a splash, so he gets the chance to talk about what his party's mps would argue for

if more of them are returned to parliament. that would be a fair deal on the nhs and care, it would be a fair deal on cost of living, it'll be a fair deal on the environment and many other issues. so that manifesto, if people vote liberal democrat, would be our marching orders to deal with any government and any bill and any policy that comes forward. at a reform uk rally in birmingham, its leader, nigel farage, batted away concerns about what he described as a few bad apples in and around his party. he thinks the election result is already decided, and insists reform will have a role to play. for democracy to function, there has to be a concerted voice of opposition, challenge. the conservatives can't do that because they'll be in opposition, but not the opposition, because they're so divided. so... but also the point about reform uk is it's notjust about a voice in parliament, it's a voice in the country. the time for party pitches nearly over as the moment to decide approaches. leila nathoo, bbc news. and for more on the reform uk

candidate liam booth—isherwood switching support to the conservatives here's our political correspondent, susan hulme. yes. he came out very unusually and said that he was no longer supporting reform uk, the party that he's meant to be on the ballot paper for, and instead he's switching his support to the ruling conservative party. now, he said he was doing this because he was unhappy about racism and sexism in the party. now the leader of reform uk, nigel farage, has said that there were only a few bad apples in the party and that they're gone. however, liam booth isherwood, the candidate, has said that he doesn't believe that the leadership has dealt with this sufficiently firmly. he hasn't fundamentally addressed the problems and therefore he's backing the conservative in his constituency. now, reform uk's chairman richard tice has responded to say that actually

he believes that the conservatives are giving inducements to candidates to stand down or to bad mouth the party. and he believes that it's a stitch up. he says that there are dark forces at play. we don't know the right and wrong of that, but that is the riposte from reform uk. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. the united nations has started direct talks with the taliban on the future of afghanistan. the islamists are taking part for the first time since seizing power — but they are refusing to talk with afghan women whom they have excluded from most public life. south africa's president, cyril ramaphosa, has been announcing details of his new coalition government, to include representatives from outside the african national congress for the first time since the end of apartheid. the announcement was delayed, amid continued wrangling with the second biggest party, the democratic alliance. one of the senior democrats

seen as a replacement forjoe biden after his poor performance in thursday night's television debate has ruled himself out as a candidate. senator raphael warnock dismissed the concerns about mr biden. let's turn now to the euros — and how england took their fans on emotional rollercoaster — before beating slovakia. this goal midway through the first half by ivan schranz gave gave the slovaks the lead. and despite hitting the post, and creating several other good chances, it wasn't until the fifth minute of injury time at the end of the match thatjude bellingham equalised, with an overhead kick. that meant extra time — and it took england just one minute to take the lead — with this header by harry kane. they held on to see out the two—one victory — meaning they will face switzerland for a place in the semi—final next saturday. our reporter, joe 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 started 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 take away from the fact that the start of this was pretty diabolical from england's perspective. and it was i'm not saying 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 went in 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 on from our colleagues at itv and lee dixon there was saying that they 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. and at the end, when the full time whistle went and england were two one victors, harry kane having scored the second one from a knockdown from ivan toney, it felt like england had won the euros in here. there were cries of heyjude. there was three lines being sung. there was sweet caroline. all the anthems could think of. 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 a kind of an emotional roller coaster to get there. 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 goalfrom 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. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

the bbc has seen and heard evidence that israeli troops in the occupied 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 correspondnt 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 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 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 un says conditions for palestinians in the northern gaza strip are �*unbearable' following a flare—up in fighting in the eastern shujaiya neighbourhood. the israeli military has been fighting hamas for three days with warplanes, tanks and drones. residents speak of bodies on the streets and more buildings demolished. the new offensive near gaza city comes several months after israel said it had dismantled hamas operatives in the north of the beseiged territory. tens of thousands of residents have been forced to flee. gaza's health ministry says more than 37,760 people have been killed in gaza since the conflict began in october. police on the spanish island of tenerife say their investigation into the disappearance of the british teenager,

jay slater, will continue, despite their decision to call off the search. the 19—year—old from lancashire, disappeared nearly two weeks ago, after phoning a friend to say he was "lost" in the mountains, in the north of the island. guy hedgecoe has the very latest. this is north—western tenerife. the mountainous terrain is full of cliffs, ravines, steep drops and thick vegetation. jay slater came here after a night out at a music festival. the 19—year—old apprentice bricklayer called a friend to say his phone battery was running low and that he had no water. then he vanished. since the teenager went missing, local police have deployed drones, helicopters and sniffer dogs. on saturday, the search was ramped up with some local volunteersjoining in. this is the area where jay slater was last sighted, specifically walking along this road here. and the local police have scoured these hillsides for the last two weeks searching for the 19—year—old, but they've not found any trace of him, and the police have now

said that they have halted that search. police said that although the search operation is finished, the case remains open. mr slater�*s parents have been in tenerife helping with the search. a friend of the family said they intend to stay on the island and keep looking for him. they also hope to speak to the authorities to learn more about the investigation. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, tenerife. in the uk, fro now, some xl bully dogs must be neutered by law. it applies to all animals that were at least a year old on january 31st, with later dates for younger ones. the deadline comes after police shot and killed an xl bully which attacked a woman in greater manchester. a warning this report may be upsetting for some viewers, from the start. davina ramos has the latest.

0h. they believed was dangerously out of control. we're not showing the moment the animal was killed, but several shots were fired as people watched from their homes. it was just very shocked because, like i say, it was just very excessive running down the street, shooting at a dog. there was about six gunshots, which i think seemed a bit excessive. so obviously take down one dog. and then obviously unfortunately some myself, my neighbours, some of their cars have been damaged in the process as well to try and stop this dog. you don't expect shots to be fired outside your home, but that's exactly what happened here on gladstone road at around 9 pm. armed officers say they tried to secure the animal but were unable to, and instead were left with no choice but to destroy the dog. now, one eyewitness told me that her young daughter has been left traumatised from hearing gunshots. greater manchester police say the woman, who was hurt by the dog, is still receiving

treatment for her injuries. two men have also been arrested for confronting officers. new rules surrounding the ownership of xl bullies came into effect earlier this year. it's now illegal to own one without an exemption certificate, and they must be kept on a lead and muzzled when in public. divina ramos, bbc news. the glastonbury festival ends tonight, with the american r&b star, sza headlining the pyramid stage. shania twain hasjust performed there, in the famed legends slot. katie razzall�*s at glastonbury. let's dance. let's go girls! glastonbury has been getting ready. as shania twain so memorably sings, to have a little fun. i feel like a woman. and the queen of country didn't disappoint at her glastonbury debut.

and there she is, on stage somewhere way across this sea of pink cowboy hats and leopard print outfits. a true legend in the legends slot here at glastonbury. in a year where female voices have sung out across the festival. after dua lipa headlined on friday, other women artists have been wowing the glastonbury faithful, including little simz and paloma faith. when sza takes to this stage later, it will be the first time two female acts have ever headlined here. that comes as a surprise to another of this year's legends. oh come on, not in the 80s. you're kidding me. cyndi lauper says it's part of a wider problem in the music industry. well, they've 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. katie razzall, bbc news, glastonbury. that's all for now — stay with bbc news.

hello. thanks forjoining me. july, statistically is our warmest month of the summer, but thisjuly, at least the beginning, is looking very different. mother nature has decided to put a pause on the summer heat. it's going to be rather on the cool side, even really windy at times in the north of the uk. and of course there is some rain on the way. so let's have a look at the forecast for monday. a couple of weather fronts spreading across the uk and early in the morning we will have had fairly cloudy weather with some rain splashing through out towards the east that morning. sunshine and temperatures of around 13 or 1a celsius. ok, let's get the forecast then. that bright weather will give way to cloudier skies. as that weather front advances eastwards, most of the rain will fall across northern england, parts of scotland too, but out towards the west.

come the afternoon the skies should brighten, so at least some sunny spells on the way and in the south two temperatures, nothing spectacular. 17 in belfast, glasgow and newcastle, the midlands too, maybe nudging up to about 21 in london. so a little below where we normally are on average. wimbledon gets under way on monday. temperatures in london about 21, often cloudy, just about staying dry, and similar weather the following day. now let's have a look at the forecast for tuesday. a weak ridge of high pressure tries to build across the uk, but around it there's a fair amount of cloud. notice where the showers go scotland, northern ireland and the north of england. i think if you're in the south and the south east, the weather on tuesday should be generally dry and the temperatures about the same, even higher than 15 degrees in the lowlands of scotland and just about 20 or so further south. then, on wednesday, a weather front, low pressure again

moving across the uk. you know what that means — cloud and some outbreaks of rain. really quite grey for a time for some of us. the winds not too strong, but certainly a good breeze out there. temperatures may not even make 20 celsius midweek, which is a little unusual at this time of the year. let's have a look at the week at a glance. now, towards the end of the week, it's actually going to turn particularly windy, i think across northern parts of the uk. guess what? even a risk of gale force winds around some scottish coasts. that's it for me. bye— bye.

as global markets wrap up a relatively strong first—half of the year. we take a look at what's to come for the rest of 202a. the boss of us pharma giant eli lilly addresses concerns, as generic weight—loss drugs become more accessible. hello and welcome to business today. i'm steve lai. as we kick off a new month and the official start of the second half of 2024, let's recap some of the key challenges the global economy faced over the past 6 months. in the us, the federal reserve has not provided much clarity on lowering the cost of borrowing, as the economy grapples with a major cost of living crisis. china's growth recovery is also concerning amid a persistent
