holding snap elections in the french parliament, while these gamble appears to be failing the far right, national riley took the 1st place in sun the on sunday of classing the president's centrist, the lines, which came in a poor 3rd. so now the question is will next sunday, 2nd from vote, produce francis 1st ever fall arrive government since world war 2? i'm feel gale and this is the day the, the french people haven't gotten delivered with sounding verdict and confirmed that clear design such change in order to carry out the reforms that the country needs. we need an absolute majority for the country has to decide is it going to become more divided or is it going to pull together and be one people that

is going to work for the common good notes a singles i must go to the national body and circumstances like these thoughts cannot afford to hesitate. that's all also on the account of us, presidents commit crimes with impunity while the supreme court same says yes, but only for official acts as good news for donald trump. i'm for others as a travesty of justice. the idea that the american people will go to the polls, not knowing for sure, not knowing the details and not knowing for sure was donald trump and then ser extra fee of taking the scales of justice and gone like this towards donald trump. welcome to the day friends and your upcoming terms with a possibility of the fall, not gaining power. and one of the e used coal members, the reading depends national riley party has taken the laundry share of the votes

on the weekends. first, find a voting in parliamentary elections with 33 percent in the 1st round. i in the 1st round. now president macro centrist said here in gather they traveled inside with just 20 percent. and they came behind the left during the lines that pull 28 percent of the vote. presidents quoting on votes is to prevent the far right from winning a governing majority. in net sundays, decisive decisive, a final rock crossing between the 1st strong defaulting for the fall. right? national, really bulky, a victory that has brought a nationalist, utah skeptic, and the immigrant politics fairly close to baldwin for the 1st time as well. i think it's the people's revenge on the leaks with light to the french people for over faulty ideas. and i hope that we're reading the pain together with john and bob tyler, with linked friends up to the french values can finally return. and we can continue to hope for a better future. 00 i had to is in my eyes because i've been hoping for this for

years. i'm hoping now we'll get the country back on its feet. you've got to do something before it says it shows up to you by the national jeremy explaining its hopes on another spectacular victory in front of the strong off. so that's all one moment to do, my admission is to win an absolute majority on sunday. i call on the french people to remain mobilized of costs. i intend to form a government of national unit tell you on the basis of this, of absolute majority will be easiest for you to start. that you also said that excel thompson's of people in from tech protest picked about these when it's a stream dispute have long been considered the, the election to so it's his lift. many people she can and the results came in. that was completely shocked. it's totally overwhelming. to think that a party that preaches hatred for security, so many votes and events. the results, i don't need to set back for president emmanuel in macro on centers through dentist

and spotty. the president headquarters snap election, hoping that the far right speak, treat, and re some sort of being far limit elections would not be repeated. the 1st strong has been a big win for the national valley, which is how big we the only become clear after this taking drone devoting. well on this from coal spangler, he's a freelance journalist whose latest book is called paris is not dead surviving hyper gentrification in the city of light. you joins us from my sight. welcome to dw sunday's votes. a positive endorsement of marine depends natural riley, or just to the junction a protest rose against the president's as well. thanks for having me. i think at this point it's quite clear that we've kind of surpassed the era of, of protests, of those. um, you know, the national riley has a very large base and that base mobilized in the vote on sunday,

only to look at that participation figures. i think there's this kind of sense, especially on the last that hired turn out. we would only benefit the less that the far right does not do well in higher turn on elections. but actually what we saw on sundays that you had the highest through now since 1997 in the context of declining turn out to people. what i'm voted and the voted for the far right before it has a bass that's growing. and the vote so no, i think for, at this point really beyond a protest though, we're talking about a share of the electorate is quite large. that shares coming to us about the economy and, and perhaps perhaps most importantly, shares coming to use about immigration in french identity. that's really the kind of cement that brings together this, this diverse colors. and. and so what we have is something like a 2 sides of a vote. so is that a voting for a far less and far? right? so the extremes of got to be on both sides of god. but the majority of what's of horse trading is likely to be going on ahead of sunday. second votes as my chrome

centrist on the left is the lines that came 2nd. does i call on votes? has to stop the fall, right? it's yeah, i think i think it's important to do this as draft that there is no, there are no differences between, between for reproduced or map extreme is, but between the far right and then and then the left block. but, but certainly right now we've, we've entered a phase where, you know, very quickly after those results started to come in on sunday nights. we saw essentially left wing parties. so this broad coalition called a new popular front, which is a nod to the uh, 1936 popular friends that help prevent the far right from from winning power and france. we saw very quickly all the parties in his coalition call for i'm withdrawing from racism which they're kind of interested in. 3rd and in which the national riley candidate finished in 1st. so effectively giving support to the my

chromos candidates in the 2nd round against the far right and again that 2nd round is taking place next sunday. so this is kind of this idea of the republican front that many people thought was that this idea of voters joining together just to stop the far from winning. and then we've also seen, to some extent, my cronus candidates, also withdrawing from these these races in which they're qualified in 3rd position . so that's the kind of horse trading that we're seeing going on if you have candidates really from both can stepping aside in the hopes that the candidate, the best position to, to defeat the far right is able to do so. and that's what is the best chance that the left and then the mark bonus habit. their goal is to prevent fire from getting an absolute majority to get their 577 seats. all the power needs to do is get $289.00 and they have an absolute majority at that point. okay, so painters, a picture then of this previous, the unthinkable situation in which the national riley wins an absolute majority

next week. what's likely to change in friends? what would we notice from outside and box from inside or yeah, i mean, i think it's important to stress, again, this is, you know, it's, it's, it's far from decided we have all the election coming up on sunday. but if you look at the r as program, you can on the questions, they're somewhat unclear. first, they want him to repeal my problem retirement or form. now there maybe take me a 2nd look at it. the most clearly ours when it comes to the questions of immigration. so give you a few examples. one, they want to repeal frances longstanding tradition of birds, right? citizenship. this idea that if you're born on french soil, even if your parents are foreigners, are both for and you can eventually obtain french nationalities, the national riley wants to repeal this tradition, which in some way it goes all way back to the 16th century with some exceptions. not even the vc regime in world war 2 did that, the repealing this tradition of birds, right? citizenship ramping up deportation to the undocumented immigrants. that's also in

the, in their program. and finally, it's created quite, quite a lot of controversy here in france and opposition, frankly, there, vowing to limit certain jobs in france, public service jobs to non dual citizen. so if you're doing citizen in france, you wouldn't be able to have certain jobs. and again, this is a radical break with what we call the republican tradition in france. so on the integration and questions and national national questions is really quite clear what they want to do. okay, so given that the, the, the national rabbit is such an anti immigrant policy, and so many people are all voting for them on the shame literally bought. is it about migration at the moment in front of us that makes this potty seems so attractive? it's well, you know, this is the question that's been part of the public debate in france for,

for decades now. you know, really started wrapping up in the 19 seventy's when the economy started to sold out with each number crisis. so it's been kind of that the public guys, immigration is slightly increased since then, but the numbers are not the deeper into concepts, not all of these enormous waves that you hear the are in talking about. um, you know, a part of it is i think the ongoing economic issues that they can sort of, you know, according to a lot of social sciences kind of activate that and sort of the sort of the new phobic uh, anti immigrant sense. and that i think that's part of it. um, i think another factor you have to look at really what's changed in the last few years in france. and it can be a little bit kind of navel gazing and talked about the media. but it's very important. you have an increasingly aggressive conservative media infrastructure that is, that is growing in france led by a 1000000000 or got somebody to and you and you had really shifted if it had a media discourse and the conversation and also my girls party as, as,

follow suit as well, so in addition to the media that my kronos government is trying to kind of pick and choose certain topics, immigration, security, and in particular, emigration to sort of show that they to are serious about about this question. so we had a, a quite a controversial integration law passed by my quotes that didn't actually get a boost in my calling to follow up with them. on the contrary, it actually showed the french public at 12, a national riley, this sort of winning the battle here. of ideas, and i think all of that is played into their favor control. thank you so much for welcome to so that call spangler freelance journalist and also thank this is happening the can donald trump be prosecuted for his actions while and the wife has according to the us supreme court. it depends, just as is today rule, the former presidents are entitled to immunity for what they called official act, but not for other official acts. so what is always a batch?

well, this year the supreme court was asked to decide whether form of present donald trump was immune from prosecution in connection with his alleged attempts to over to the 2020 election of the timing of this ruling as important as the window for a trial to be getting before the november election is not owing the quotes. 63 ruling reflected the benches, conservative, liberal split and the court's majority opinion. chief justice john roberts rose, the president is not above the law, but congress may not criminalize the president's conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the executive branch under the constitution. chief justice went down to explain that a president inclined to take one course of action based on the public interest may instead of opt for another apprehensive the criminal penalties made before him. upon his departure from office. now it's the job of a lower court to decide whether the form of presidents actions are protected as an

official acts. the case is still not over, but that didn't stop. donald trump from taking to his tooth social platform to celebrate the posting penguin for our constitution in democracy, proud to be an american let's go through the space that need to ask a man who's a lawyer and a former assistant to watergate. special prosecutor, welcome to dw what he said the congress may not be criminalized. the president's conduct, encountering responsibilities of the executive branch, was the chief justice implying that congress have passed laws to criminalize before the president. donald trump. no, not at all. i think what he is saying is that there are certain core functions of the president on the such as are making appointments, pointing judges, etc. on that are the sold for roggette of the present. and those to not be criminal,

watched. now there are others, so frog is usually the president such as a pardon power, which donald trump did using dig criminalize i by using it to obstruct justice in the russian investigation. so there's a lot of problems with this opinion. and the decision that was made by the supreme court today. ok here is because one of the biggest one this is that they the inference from the just this is the opinion that conspiring to overturn the presidential election tom be considered to full within a president's official duties. that can hardly be true. and that's what makes this whole opinion. so bizarre, because this trusted this indictment if you read it from beginning to end, it all has to do with undermining the peaceful transfer of power from president trump to president bites. and there are

a whole series of criminal acts that are alleged in that indictment. so that's the idea that you can parse this out between official acts and private acts that is completely in name. in fact, if you look at the watergate matter refreshment nixon, i'm every thing he did that he would have been invited for if he hadn't been parties were what could be called official x. the fact that he had one of his age called a c i a and instruct him to tell the f b i to drop the investigation into the watergate breaking could be described as an official as much the same way. either justice or the justice is described on donald trump talking to the attorney general. i'm so none of this really makes a lot of sense. other than the fact that they're all trying to just delay this as much as they can. so the donald trump doesn't have to face the music prior to the election. so 2 things in that firstly,

this sounds like you're saying that the highest court in the land is parties on. i'm trying to side with the president and with a former president. and there's goes for, for also from what you're saying is you, one has to work, try and work out how this highest quote of eminent legal minds has come to such an inane decision as you describe it to. yeah, i mean, 1st of all, that's actually true if you take what happened back in 1974 with the supreme court and the issue nixon's tape recordings, again on that particular court. there were a number of justices had been appointed by richard nixon. but they all unanimously decided with one person just with actually one person reducing himself that nixon had to turn over. those takes, are there was nothing purchasing at all about it. this just has a different feel to it. it's had

a different feel to it all along. ever since the overturning of the abortion decision are with the decision on the obstruction count on that day was used to indict a number of the january 6 riders on this really does not make a lot of sense other than to play into donald trump's strategy of delaying this whole matter until after the election. but this i'm sorry to dwell on this, but this is a business a big big, but you're saying to be citing the thoughts. this the pre im calling them out is any fact corrupt? yes, and it's saying that because there's no way back in 1972 and we're investigating richard nixon in the watergate matter that anybody was saying, oh, there's presidential immunity. you have to be careful about what you do. we can't indict them. no one ever thought of that for a 2nd. that was never an issue. it has never been an issue in our entire history.

until now, it was always considered that a president is not above the law. what donald trump has been indicted for our real criminal violations, their alleged an indictment. he's got all the rights and responsibilities of anybody use a criminal defendant. and now all of a sudden the supreme court has come up with this whole crazy new scheme about official acts and not unofficial ex. none of which make a lot of real sense when you really come down to the question of donald trump had to corrupt intent. and the mens rea a to commit the crimes that he's indicted for committee. so now we have this decision precipice. the present would be best, no appealing. that's below now. right? that's correct. and what it means is going back district court. and the district court now is charged with deciding which are official acts and which are not official x. and then i,

that's not the final word because at that point donald trump still has the ability to appeal with, through the circuit court through the supreme court. all of which is going to take even more time, probably up to a year. so there is no way that this case is going to a jury anytime soon as or how does this affects the, the case being full brutes by the special prosecutor, jack smith, as well as effects it is just going to be delayed more. i mean it's very possible the judge struck in the district, court judge will go through reach it. busy and make findings that these were not official blacks. i don't know how you could ever say the trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power from one president to another is an official whack me a president, has no official authority in dealing with the election with dealing with trying to stop the official count in congress that was up to the vice president is purely

a ministerial, i'd sure. certainly putting together false electors. i can't be an efficient act since it's a point. so if i say print world is more like all right, thanks for taking us through that victor documents lawyer and former assistant was a special prosecute. thank you so much. thank you. the now does that figure out why the president has unveiled a coalition cabinet after his african national congress lost its majority for the 1st time in 3 decades. the front of the single realm oppose it was supposed to seek allies after the amc took just 40 percent of the folks in may's collections. agencies biggest problem is not be pro business democratic and lines went by john steve hayes and a d. i had 6 ministers, including agriculture, a major part of south africans economy. and the policy of nelson mandela had to go

from south africa singlehandedly since the end of the parts i flew in 1994. is what some south africans have been saying about the new government overall. i think a diverse group of people, a 1st diverse group of cabinet members, which means for a future hold for you. that means that the more inclusive with the end of using the opinions of society, also diverse group of individuals in terms of age range. so hopefully in the, on your future we'll get to the invasion age group of having the yahoo does yes. to individuals within parliament and really with the confirm but some bullets different people with different philosophies on and cabinet. um, i'm not really confident about it, but did they say the peoplesoft advocate spoken? have spoken. is that what they say they wanted? that's my question. um, i don't the least important sweetie bye to a. what can you do because i just, when i feel like you're spoken,

but with not being less and i wasn't surprised about many of them. i do, you know, there's a few that amuses me, like john student isn't in agriculture and you know, i don't know what he knows about elder culture. apart from that, you buy chickens in supermarkets. let's go on this for my correspondence of privilege, most on a and e and johannesburg. welcome privilege, i particularly like that quote. we heard from the 2nd person, the people of south africa have spoken, but we're not being listened to tell us more about reactions to this coalition deal . mixed feelings coming out of the, the direction to these cabinets. i think most people, uh, uh, uh, taking it is a products of uh, the quantization which is the magic sometimes because it is a products of negotiations many. so that's against fuel that it sees it brought,

it's a cabinet and the water is that it is going to spend more funds. and this is a finances on political administration against the service delivery. so they mixed the feelings when it comes to these cutting it. uh, some people who have thoughts that they're going to see a smaller company that is, has been promised missed by a prison drama post that in the previous i administration. but the president, i'm up with that himself admitted when how us presenting this company that it was not possible because they wanted to a point did the partners in the coalition. and it does seem ironic. but b, i n c, the positive it ended up positive not has to share power with a policy saying is representing south africa's of white minority. the

n c found itself in a compromise. it is an issue of compromising leaning towards the da. one thing that could have happened is that d a by becoming the 2nd highest uh, um, potty in this election. um n c head to lean to as uh, the da because in terms of the negotiations that were offering better conditions than other policies you in see could have gotten easily into equation with the on the corner as easy uh for my um, the president of the present, so my spots and the 5th for my live my spots. they could have gone into a quality soon. but what then happens is that the conditions that the other parties were offering, we're also difficult for the n c to compromise. so d, a could have been the bit of devil to lean towards and other parties. but of course

the send to me is that to, um, that are coming out. do you see the 5th and even the m. k pa to have lost out of the n c. and the issue doubt very strong statements to say that a n c is now going back to the a white minority people that they think that you towards the dismantled during a posit. okay, good, talking to you. perfect. thank you so much for joining us. i think that'll be corresponded. image moved on here, the aims, johannes, back and that is the day more same time tomorrow or on the dw, don't call me back the
