the, the, this is the, the news coming to live from berlin. all right? parties make huge games in european elections. the results triggered of political earthquake and france with president a minimal my call calling risky snap legislative elections. his party was delta, a heavy blow by reading the pens for right national rounding. that's what coming up . despite the fall rights games, the conservative p p. p alliance is set to remain the biggest group in parliament. it's leader european commission to present more slip on the line says for parking, we'll take a stand against 63 missed on the left and the right. the

hello, i'm terry martin. thanks for joining us. we begin in france where president emmanuel nicole has rolled the dice on his political future after being trounced by the far right to the european elections. he's called a snap national poll for later this month, following a major victory in the u boat for marine. the pens, national riley party. it's projected to take over 30 percent of the nationwide ballots. that's more than double that of a crunch. liberal renaissance party. so this was a political shock. the nobody had been expecting. the french president, addressing the nation, announcing us that parliamentary elections will have some of them on us and that i have language and the political gamble that they came off to exit. polls had revealed his pox. he was on calls for hammering at the hands of the far right national rally because he don't see it. so this is you. this is

a serious and way to decision. but above all, it isn't active, trust trusting you, mission, my dear competitor, you that ship in the ability of the french people to make the adjustments choice for themselves and for future generations know us that's announcement follows and election challenge from this man showed dan bonsa, the president of the national rally policy to describe macro and as it weakens presidents, as he calls the him to take the country to the poles in front of people in pos simple to be in part to lead. the movie le pen had been banking on growing public frustration with the french president and his policies to deliver results at the fall of books and then now focused on securing the even big victory on this. um, sir, we are ready to exercise. paula, if the french trusts talk to you in this future legislative selection. so we are

ready to rebuild the country, ready to put an end to must immigration, ready to make the purchase and possible the friendship priority. ready to begin the conference rate industrialization. hey, i'm just curious as to underpaid. and the bottom line. so what comes next? stone read the being drawing these on the far right protesters in paris is plus to the republic, giving the 1st indication of the fight to heads. a fight that the french president has cast as a struggle for the soul of the country. springing mazda of laurie moore, her, she's a fellow in european politics at the london school beacon nomics, and she's an expert on all right. politics in the european union, thanks for being with us. martha. how big of a surprise is amount of wilma con men. and while the cause of decision to call step elections, well, it matters the columns, decision to call several actions is actually quite surprising because for months my

home has been saying that this is not a national election. it will not have national consequences. it has been reading the pen to saying that this should be treated as an election that will have consequences on the government. so it was quite a surprising decision precisely because it went against everything that he had been saying during the campaign. and it also looks like a political gamble of sorts that we're calling to saying he's confident that the french people will make the right choice in the snap poll. but what do you mean by that? and what can we expect to gain from this move? it is quite an interesting question because it seems like he expects that people will see the selection as an election that picks a reasonable center against an extremist fall. right. and that people, when given the choice between the far right and the center, will decide for the center. so this might not actually work in the

way that he thinks he will. and there is a risk that the national riley could end up with a much bigger delegation that what they have right now, and potentially even in the actual government, no matter when or con is not due to leave office until 2027. that would be his last, the 2nd and last term. if maureen, the pens, paul, right, national riley party were when the french parliamentary elections later this month, that might put her in his prime minister. how would that work? it would probably be quite uncomfortable. so this is what the french called cohabitation is not unheard of, but it hasn't happened since 2002 when the length of the parliamentary term and the presidential term for basically made the same until 2002 presidents were in place for 7 years. parliamentary majorities, which was 5 years. so that meant that you could have a president and

a parliament that did not belong to the same political party. this hasn't happened for a while. the good thing for my comb with the casual cavitation is that it does help him to divide the responsibility of power and when things go wrong, he doesn't have to shoulder the whole responsibility for it. of course, it also means that as a president, he has a lot less leeway and lot less control over what the parliament action does that you spend a lot of time looking at for right parties in europe. let's broaden out our perspective here and look at what's happened in all 27 european member states. the far right has surged in support in these european parliamentary elections. what do you make of that? wouldn't necessarily call this a search. it looks a lot more like consolidation, so the far right has been doing better and better in elections, both at the national and at the european level. and so this really is a,

is more of a continuity in terms of what we've seen throughout the last couple of decades. what it does tell us is really that the far right is at this point a fairly natural or normal, at least part of the european political landscape. they are becoming more and more like normal parties and their ideas have become normalized and, and this is also beyond how well they have done. because a large part of the main stream has also started adopting some of their flagship policies. a lot of laura from the london school we cannot make some parents. thank you very much. thank you. well, despite considerable gains for the far right to in the netherlands, austria and germany, this uprising, european people's party, is poised remains the biggest party in the biggest grouping and the european parliament. that's the party of european commission president for us to live on the

line who's seeking the 2nd term on a lion promise. the atp would build a basque and against experience that home campaign trail you refuse to rule out, cooperating with members of the hard drive, like at least georgia long to get done with others. we will build a best, should i guys cx streams from the ad from the right way? well, well some folks are still being counted, but we're getting a clear idea now of the future make up of the european parliament to take a look at that. the a p p remains the biggest group in the projected new parliament. the so right block includes parties like germany's christian democrats in spain's people's party. but the biggest swings are at the end. so the spectrum with voters turning their backs on europe, you on your green parties, and instead looking towards the identity and democracy group, it includes far,

right, nationalist and populace parties. many of them euro skeptics, the right wing group, expelled germany's bar, right? a at the party earlier this year, following various scandals from one of them joined by the w correspondent. lucy had schultz and she's reporting from russell's lucio. it's your pin commission. present worth on the line seems optimistic that you'll be able to serve another term, but could the rise of the far i complicate her business, stay in office. yeah, there is still a long way to go for is it off on the line to really be again elected into the office of commission president. the 1st next step will be that the you heads of states will have to nominate her officially to really become the next you commission president. and then the next step is that she will have to go back to the european parliament and she has to secure a majority of $361.00 votes. and to get this majority, she has been saying yesterday that she reach out in

a pod year thing saying that to the liberals and the social democrats, we have heard that on the campaign train. it did sound as if she might or to reach out to george. i'm a luis criteria, the child yet that we have not heard yesterday. so we have heard a little bit of change of sound fair, but it change of tone and they do have enough loads. these parties that i just mentioned, but she's looking to book with, do have you have roads to secure the majority. if you just count them together, but it is not a very short majority because it's not said that everyone would really vote for her . so she will have to see how she gets these roads and then it might be, but as the effort it might be that she also has to see whether she has to really go to the far right or not. but if she would do this and that became very clear in the competing traits, she might lose the votes of the other parties. so it is a balancing act for her. and she said yesterday from today on the roof stop. so it

is a tough challenge for her to secure the majority again, but the 1st step of the heads of states. so the 2 big centrist groupings in european parliament do have a majority, but given that the composition to parliament has shifted with the extremes, gaining seats. what impact is that likely to have on policy making in process? so the 1st thing to bear in mind is that the far right parties do not have a good king majority. that is the 1st thing to see. and then the 2nd thing, which is another big crest. and also, when it comes to their possible impact and to the influence is whether the far right parties which are right now in 2 groupings in the, in the far right area, you're being conservative from form is and the far right identity and democracy groups, whether they can team up or not experts doubting that this is the case, but this remains to be seen. but this would also have an impact in general. what is

being said here, even though they do not have a blocking majority, that there is a possibility that over all european politics will move further to the right. because the other parties like the center right might take and topics that they are pushing forward like and there again, screen policies. they have a hard migration spence and that they are the more central right parties take this in and that therefore the phone of the european union moves a bit more to the red sea. it shows in, in brussels. thank you very much. now is real and is really minister benny guns announced his resignation from prime minister. benjamin netanyahu was emergency government gun says he was leaving his post with a heavy heart. he also called for elections. guns is a guns, joined us now his government, shortly after the october 7th from us attack and to show unity sconces resignation

had been expected since last month when he gave nothing yahoo an ultimatum to approve a postwar plan for gaza. his departure leaves us and now who more reliance on his bar right outlines the guns called his departure, an agonizing decision. here's more of what he had to say. it's only unfortunately connected. yahoo is preventing us from progressing to the real victory, which is the justification for the painful and ongoing cost. that's why we are leaving the war time copying it today. we live with a heavy heart, but with a whole heart, we present ourselves today to the bottle for the fates of the state of israel, for generations to come to the door code. these are correspond to tony kramer explains why this long awaited announcement has come. now, well, i mean, as you said, it was somehow expected. she gave this ultimatum like about 3 weeks ago when he said certain conditions need to be met by prime minister benyamin to attend you all

for him to stay in this emergency governments, albany guns as the leader of the sentries punch and national unity hit enter. it this emergency government as part of the smaller vote having that together with his colleague number 2 in the list of the item. quite old. both of them, in a former idea of official spending guns was a former defense minister and they made, you know, these important decisions for the past 8 months. but he said he wanted to see, you know, a credit of a time to get the hostages back from garza. he wanted to see up to a credible pounds. he said, for a golf for the day off that doesn't come forward from netanyahu until now. and also he wants to see one of the 6 conditions he puts that the residence in the north of israel, that have been displaced of to of tobar, a 7 because of the cross of 5 between has blah and is well in the north that they

get a certain date until when they could be. so you're watching dw nose from berlin, coming up next shift looks at the future of smart mobility fun. terry martin, thanks for watching the questions. got any issues with a lot say what crazy. the comment about why does that mean because now i'm leave them on the new host of.
