hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. france prepares for a second round of parliamentary elections, with national rally leading. president macron is urging unity to prevent a far—right victory. hundreds of thousands of young people are eligible to vote in the uk election for the first time this year. but only around half of all 18—24—year—olds voted in the last election in 2019 — so how engaged will they be this time round? bbc news has teamed up with radio 1's newsbeat who are doing a "race across the uk" — stopping at locations, known as checkpoints, some picked by listeners. jordan kenny reports from one of those checkpoints in newcastle. there are around five million 18—24—year—olds in the uk,

but when it comes to voting, politicians have struggled to get them out. i'm not personally planning to vote. i don't know enough about it. and ijust think, from what i've heard, they're all as bad as each other. i don't even know how to vote. younger people don't really vote as much as i'd say older people do now, so i think there is a lot of confusion on what people are actually voting for, as well. i don't feel like i'm informed enough to take a vote, - so i don't want to, like, - change the future of the country when i'm not really informed on it, so i don't think i'm _ going to vote this year. unless you vote, you can't really have an opinion. like, you have got the ability to change the world, change the country we live in. at the last general election in 2019, barely half of those aged 18—24 turned out to vote. on the other end of the spectrum, 80% of over 75s did. i'm not trying to be horrible, but we are going to be living longer than the people who are more interested in it now. so, therefore, who's it going to have a longer term effect on?

this campaign has seen parties use new methods to try to reach young people. a big one of those is tiktok, which wasn't really around at the last general election in 2019. hi, tiktok, sorry to be breaking into your usual politics—free feed. although all of the parties are on tiktok, labour are the best performing one when it comes to likes, with over 5.5 million. in second place, it's reform. # guess who's back. # back again #. memes, yeah. honestly, like, i think it's funny, but i don't think anyone is going to vote for a party based off, like, memes. i think they are trying to cater to the people, like, the younger generation, but it's not really working. it's not like i'm just i going to support, like, labour because they make videos about tories, saying _ how bad they are. it's like, i want to know what you're actually- going to do for the country. many have told us today they don't think parties are doing enough to reach young people. but will their efforts make any difference at the polls? we'll soon find out. jordan kenny, bbc news, newcastle.

getting older and older, higher and higher. and that's extremely depressing for young people when they leave university and go into they leave university and go into the workplace, and then they're spending half their pay packets, sometimes more on rent and what is often quite poor quality accommodation, flat shared with other people. they must feel like there's a sense of hopelessness, what prospects do they really have chris back in the tories in particular haven't spoken to that — but i'm not sure labour have done much better, they've talked quite a good talk on housing policy but will they really deliver on their promise? i think there's a million new homes in the next five years? i'm not sure. new homes in the next five years? i'm not sure-— i'm not sure. thank you both very much for that, _ i'm not sure. thank you both very much for that, back _ i'm not sure. thank you both very much for that, back with - i'm not sure. thank you both very much for that, back with you - i'm not sure. thank you both very much for that, back with you in i i'm not sure. thank you both very much for that, back with you in a | much for that, back with you in a moment. president macron is joining together with political opponents of france's hard—right to try to block them from securing a parliamentary majority in elections next weekend. the national rally came top

in the first round yesterday — in an unprecedented victory. now, more than 150 candidates — who came in third place from either the left or centre — have agreed to step aside, which means a single opponent will face the hard right party next sunday. our paris correspondent andrew harding reports. paris, the day after, and for many here, a profound sense of shock. "it is like having a hangover," says sandrine, a legal assistant, of yesterday's election results. "people are fed up with politics," says carolyn, "so they are turning to the extremes. it is like the plague". "when the far—right comes to power, it holds on to power," warns veronique. they're all talking about this woman, marine le pen, whose party — the national rally — took the lead in sunday's vote. if the surname is familiar

that's because her father, jean—marie le pen, was a notorious far—right politician, a racist and anti—semite. but his daughter has softened the national rally�*s image and platform and, last night, won big across the nation. her party's populist, anti—immigrant, eurosceptic message, and its 28—year—old candidate for the prime minister's job, finding broad appeal. formerly, it was more people that were workers in complicated economical situations. now, you have also white—collars voting for national rally, you have women voting for national rally, you have young people. meanwhile, france's president is in trouble. no wonder it looked like emmanuel macron was trying to hide yesterday. his election gamble has backfired. his centrist party on track to lose heavily. so, what of plans to block the far—right

from sweeping to victory? this afternoon, different parties began arriving at parliament, aiming to forge a united front against the national rally. but the divisions are all too evident. the leader of the green party here, brought to tears of frustration during this debate. france is still digesting the shock of yesterday's election result. love it or loathe it, the national rally is now at the heart of france's political mainstream. more than that, it is the most powerful party across the country. but can it translate that into enough seats in parliament to win outright? if it can, france will be changed utterly. andrew harding, bbc news, paris. let's bring our panel back in. the stakes are pretty high, whatever

your persuasion there. jack, let's start with you, what do you make of the elections in france? this start with you, what do you make of the elections in france?— the elections in france? as annabel was sa in: the elections in france? as annabel was saying earlier _ the elections in france? as annabel was saying earlier that _ the elections in france? as annabel was saying earlier that the - the elections in france? as annabel was saying earlier that the mistake | was saying earlier that the mistake that rishi _ was saying earlier that the mistake that rishi sunak made in bringing his election forward a few months pales— his election forward a few months pales in_ his election forward a few months pales in comparison to the absolute howter _ pales in comparison to the absolute howler emmanuel macron clearly dropped — howler emmanuel macron clearly dropped in the wake of those european electionsjust dropped in the wake of those european elections just a few weeks a-o, european elections just a few weeks ago, calling the snap election. he didn't— ago, calling the snap election. he didn't have — ago, calling the snap election. he didn't have to do it, none of his close _ didn't have to do it, none of his close aides— didn't have to do it, none of his close aides or colleagues wanted him to do it. _ close aides or colleagues wanted him to do it. his— close aides or colleagues wanted him to do it, his party was aghast when he did _ to do it, his party was aghast when he did do— to do it, his party was aghast when he did do it — to do it, his party was aghast when he did do it because everyone could see what— he did do it because everyone could see what would happen, because everyone — see what would happen, because everyone could see how popular the far right _ everyone could see how popular the far right now are in the polls. so to go— far right now are in the polls. so to go to — far right now are in the polls. so to go to the _ far right now are in the polls. so to go to the polls early in that situation, ratherthan to go to the polls early in that situation, rather than try and turn around _ situation, rather than try and turn around would only ever end up with one outcome — and here we are, and macron— one outcome — and here we are, and macron looks — one outcome — and here we are, and macron looks a broken figure on the frehch_ macron looks a broken figure on the french political stage now, and it looks— french political stage now, and it looks down to whether he can swallow his pride _ looks down to whether he can swallow his pride and convince many of its candidates — his pride and convince many of its candidates to stand aside in some sort of— candidates to stand aside in some sort of united front against the far i’ilht sort of united front against the far right and — sort of united front against the far right and let people vote for left—wing candidates he doesn't like

and those political leaders who are ideologically aligned with him and agree with his specific brand of politics. and i suspect that it might actually be the latter. in terms of macron, which ever way it goes this weekend, he will be a lame duck president, and he will find it very difficult to keep everything together over the next few years until the next presidential election — that's if he is indeed able to manoeuvre and horse trade to keep marine le pen's party at bay. in a majority of the 300 constituencies where there hasn't been an outright winner, macron's candidate came last. so if they're going to withdraw, then why would he decide they all withdraw before? jack talked about him needing to swallow his pride and set task to persuading the others to come round — but the

new popular front that came second is a motley crew of socialists and greens and communists, and the hard left led byjean—luc melenchon, and his party has previously been denounced by the president as anti—democratic, anti—parliamentarian, anti—nuclear power and a pro—russian party. so he really will need to deploy some very impressive persuasive skills if he is to see out this weekend. sunday votin: , is to see out this weekend. sunday voting. we'll _ is to see out this weekend. sunday voting, we'll have _ is to see out this weekend. sunday voting, we'll have coverage - is to see out this weekend. sunday voting, we'll have coverage of - is to see out this weekend. sunday voting, we'll have coverage of that| voting, we'll have coverage of that year. thank you both very much for that. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

he's the man who saved the game for england at the euros last night with a last—gasp goal — but now, jude bellingham is being investigated for a gesture he made after his very late equaliser against slovakia. uefa says it's looking into a "potential violation" of the basic rules of conduct.

responding to the incident on social media, jude bellingham says it was an inside joke with some friends at the game. let's bring in the panel. jack, he was hero and i think in many england fans minds, still a hero, but this is an unexpected development. it will certainly take more than this to wipe _ will certainly take more than this to wipe his — will certainly take more than this to wipe his hero status off, i think. — to wipe his hero status off, i think, from what he did last night, and the _ think, from what he did last night, and the last minute of the day, literally— and the last minute of the day, literally saved england's bacon. but it wasn't_ literally saved england's bacon. but it wasn't very tasteful, is not the way to— it wasn't very tasteful, is not the way to react when you've scored what could _ way to react when you've scored what could be _ way to react when you've scored what could be the — way to react when you've scored what could be the biggest goal of your life so— could be the biggest goal of your life so far — could be the biggest goal of your life so far. but i guess sometimes in the _ life so far. but i guess sometimes in the moment, people do weird things — in the moment, people do weird things. who can say who would keep their calm _ things. who can say who would keep their calm and act decently? i've never— their calm and act decently? i've never been — their calm and act decently? i've never been in that position myself so i never been in that position myself so i don't — never been in that position myself so i don't want to get too pious about— so i don't want to get too pious about it. — so i don't want to get too pious about it, but if you don't watch the

but nothing is ever certain. but switzerland is next and we haven't lost to them since 1981, we played 13 matches since withjude bellingham on the pitch, so surely we can succeed. irate bellingham on the pitch, so surely we can succeed.— bellingham on the pitch, so surely we can succeed. we shall see, thank ou both we can succeed. we shall see, thank you both very — we can succeed. we shall see, thank you both very much _ we can succeed. we shall see, thank you both very much for— we can succeed. we shall see, thank you both very much for that. - now it's time for the panel. this is the part of the show where the panelists get to talk about whatever they want to talk about within reason. this whatever they want to talk about within reason.— within reason. this is sir mark jones, within reason. this is sir mark jones. the _ within reason. this is sir mark jones, the former _ within reason. this is sir mark jones, the former british - within reason. this is sir mark - jones, the former british museum jones, the former british museum boss who has suggested that such is the sorry state of some of our buildings that overseas visitors should potentially pay £20 as an entrance fee in order to contribute to the upkeep which is currently funded mostly through private philanthropy. and i think it's a really interesting one because it divides opinion — of course you have the logistical challenges of how you would make overseas visitors pay, we

don't have id cards here in the uk, so how could british citizens prove they are entitled to free admission? but we do pay typically to visit museums and galleries in historic sites when we travel overseas, and we also through our taxes pay to the tune of eight and a half billion pounds each year —— eight 5p. and often when british citizens go to museums currently, they will see special exhibitions because they've probably visited the gallery in the museum previously. so it does feel that we are often paying 2—3 times for something visitors might be getting forfree, and perhaps for something visitors might be getting for free, and perhaps that's something that ought to be addressed. but it's quite a controversial topic and people tend to have strong opinions about it. in a word, would you be in favour or not, if you reckon, if you are pushed? i not, if you reckon, if you are pushed?— not, if you reckon, if you are pushed? not, if you reckon, if you are ushed? ~ ., , ., ., pushed? i think i would be in favour of it, es, pushed? i think i would be in favour of it. yes. but _ pushed? i think i would be in favour of it, yes, but i wonder— pushed? i think i would be in favour of it, yes, but i wonder whether - of it, yes, but i wonder whether it would be so difficult to implement

that we would have to start charging everybody. but perhaps we can cut the dcms budget at the same time. 0k, the dcms budget at the same time. ok, jack, what do you want to talk about? i 0k, jack, what do you want to talk about? ., ., ., ~' ., about? i want to talk rather improbably _ about? i want to talk rather improbably about _ about? i want to talk rather improbably about fossilised j about? i want to talk rather - improbably about fossilised grapes. get this, _ improbably about fossilised grapes. get this, in colombia and panama, they've _ get this, in colombia and panama, they've just — get this, in colombia and panama, they've just found some fossilised grapes _ they've just found some fossilised grapes from 60 million years ago — which _ grapes from 60 million years ago — which is _ grapes from 60 million years ago — which is pretty amazing of itself, but it _ which is pretty amazing of itself, but it gets more amazing. because what the _ but it gets more amazing. because what the scientists reckon who have found _ what the scientists reckon who have found these fossilised grapes is they are — found these fossilised grapes is they are found in that part of the world, _ they are found in that part of the world, it — they are found in that part of the world, it appears that this grapevine spread across the world 'ust grapevine spread across the world just after— grapevine spread across the world just after the dinosaurs died out to 60 million — just after the dinosaurs died out to 60 million years ago. bear with me, it's really— 60 million years ago. bear with me, it's really interesting — we know an asteroid _ it's really interesting — we know an asteroid hit— it's really interesting — we know an asteroid hit the earth and killed off the — asteroid hit the earth and killed off the dinosaurs, and in a way we should _ off the dinosaurs, and in a way we should be — off the dinosaurs, and in a way we should be grateful that because it means— should be grateful that because it means there aren't any dinosaurs here _ means there aren't any dinosaurs here to _ means there aren't any dinosaurs here to bother us humans. but it also _ here to bother us humans. but it also now— here to bother us humans. but it also now appears that asteroid allowed — also now appears that asteroid allowed grapevines to spread around the world _ allowed grapevines to spread around the world for the first time. so not only do—

news. hello, from the bbc sport centre, i'm hugh ferris. one of the pre—tournament favourites, france are through to the quarter finals of euro 202a. it took until the 85th minute, and they needed an own goal, but they beat belgium 1—0 in dusseldorf. both sides spurned plenty of chances untilfive minutes from time — substitute randal kolo muani's shot was going wide before the deflection by jan vertonghen, the defender who's one of belgium's so—called golden generation that have fallen short once again, with mancheser city's kevin de bruyne coming closest to scoring for them. while for france, they reach the last eight having not yet got a goalfrom open play. they'll play the winner of this one, but there isn't one slate at the moment, you can see there's only 90

seconds left of injury time with slovenia holding firm throughout against christiano ronaldo in frankfurt this evening. not long to go now, could potentially come up much like england and slovakia, have extra time between slovenia and portugal. we'lljust make sure we don't end up tempting fate by being completely incorrect as slovenia come close. we will attempt to go back to that before the end of our sport programme. uefa have opened an investigation into jude bellingham for a gesture the england player made following his goal in the euro 2024 win over slovakia. the governing body sez it is looking into a "potential violation" regarding "the basic rules of decent conduct" by bellingham, who was seen making a crotch—grabbing gesture towards the slovakian bench after scoring an overhead kick in stoppage time. he says it was an inside joke intended for close friends. seven british players entered the first day of wimbledon, with three emerging with a place in the second round. chief amongst them emma raducanu.

after missing last year's championships with injury problems, this time herfirst—round opponent pulled out with illness just before her match. mexico's renata zarazua was the lucky loser to step in, but raducanu won the first set on a tie break. and the second 6—3 to make round two. the stage she reached at her last wimbledon appearance two years ago. it was an incredibly difficult match. i think i've barely, if ever, played a defender who is literally landed the ball on the baseline, or just kept getting the ball back and, yeah, it took a lot of strength to get over the line. so it's amazing. yeah, to play an opponent such as granada who — it's not easy, you're playing on the centre court, so all props to her and thank you to everyone for helping me get through. raducanu is joined in the second round by lily miyazaki — who beat germany's tamara korpatsch in straights to make it past the first round at

wimbledon for the first time and there will be at least three british women in the second round — qualifier sonay kartal coming from a set down to beat 29th seed sorana cirstea and also reach the second round for the first time, with the likes of katie boulter and harriet dart to come tomorrow. it was a different story for the brits in the men's singles — all three falling to opening round defeats closest of them to victory was arthur fery — the 21—year—old led germany's daniel altmaier by two sets to one at one stage, but ultimately succumbed in five sets to the world number 80. defending champion carlos alcaraz won on his return to wimbledon. and it was tougher than the scoreline suggested, particularly in the first two sets of his straight sets victory over mark lajal. but it was an entertaining way to open up the centre court programme for the fortnight, with the spaniard through to round two. andy murray says he'll give himself until the last minute to decide on whether he'll play at wimbledon. murray is due to play

tomas machac tomorrow, and was set to announce tonight whether or not he will take to the court. but after a competitive practice session earlier with fellow britain kyle edmund, murray has delayed his decision until tuesday. -- until —— until the morning. we are now heading to extra time in frankfurt, these the scenes and portugal as slovenia have drawn out a goalless draw. that extra time in a previous night's game, we didn't have a 95th minute goal that took us there. so as you can see, christiano ronaldo getting some pretty serious carfax and as he fired his way into extra time. it'll be interesting to see whether slovenia have not yet made a knockout round before making the championship, with france waiting for the winners after their victory over belgium earlier on today. and that's all the sport for now.

hello there. we've seen a good deal of cloud heading our way today, bringing with it some rain here and there as well. and, really, through the rest of this week, it's very changeable. not particularly what we'd expect at this time of the year — cloud, some rain at times, mainly in the west, a cooler breeze keeping temperatures below average as well. and it's notjust on the cooler side here in the uk. you can see from the temperature anomaly map, we've got the cooler blues across many parts of europe. the hotter weather is more across eastern areas and temperatures may build a bit across iberia. but our weather is going to be coming in from the atlantic, which is why western areas will see most of the rain. we've had this band of cloud here on this weather front. it's been taking some rain eastwards today, mainly affecting the northern half of the uk. that weather front will be weakening overnight tonight, taking some thicker cloud, more across eastern and for a while southern parts of england, with a little rain here and there but not very much. clearer skies will follow towards the north—west, in scotland and northern ireland, and here, we could see temperatures

perhaps in rural areas as low as seven or eight degrees. temperatures will be higher where we've got that cloud across eastern parts of england. in the morning, it could still produce a little light rain or drizzle here and there. elsewhere, there'll be some sunshine for a while, cloud will bubble up. we'll see more showers breaking out across the northern half of the uk, perhaps merging into longer spells of rain in the afternoon in western scotland and later into northern ireland. and that will limit the temperatures here to around about 16 degrees, but could make 20 again across southern england and south wales. and it shouldn't feel too bad here. but we've got more weather systems coming in from the atlantic overnight and into wednesday, stronger winds behind that as well. now, that's going to leave us with quite a messy picture, i think, on wednesday — a lot of cloud, some rain from time to time, nothing particularly heavy or prolonged. and for scotland and northern ireland, it'll be followed by some sunshine and some showers as well. and again, those temperatures reaching 16, 17, possibly 18 degrees. but that's a little below average, certainly for this time of the year. low pressure running to the north

of the uk will bring some stronger winds on thursday. the next system may well bring some rain into england and wales, the southern half of the uk. the position of that rain could change, but essentially, through the week, it's still rather mixed weather. temperatures are disappointing for the time of year. there'll be some sunshine in between the cloud and the rain.
