the the, this is terry large and coming to live from berlin. political maneuvering aiming to prevent the far right from taking power in france. french presidents metal on the coolness, hoping the withdrawal of more than $200.00 candidates from parliamentary run off elections will blow up the impact searching for right national riley, also coming up hurricane barrel rips through the southeastern caribbean, bringing life threatening winds and storm surges. officials report extensive damage on several pilots and at least 6 them the

is this the the news welcome to the program. more than $200.00 centrist and left waiting candidates pulled out of print is parliamentary run off election. the tactic is aimed at giving boaters just 2 choices in their contest. french president, the amount of one that called hopes to pull out from sundays contests will block the far right from winning power. is centrists came 3rd in the 1st round of balloting, behind a coalition of left wing parties and the far right national broadway. only so many 3rd place candidates in france have pulled out in order to strengthen the prospects of the 2nd place. candidates beating the far right. but is a strategy likely to work a cold stangler, a freelance journalist based in more se as well, it certainly makes the chances of an absolute majority for the national riley. i'm much less likely that there's really no doubt about that. the magic number is

$289.00 because of all these withdrawals, it's more likely they won't hit that number, but they could also potentially come close to an absolute majority. what would happen then? so i think, you know, makes it less likely, but nothing is, you know, nothing is for certain. well i have to see what happens on sunday their, their basis very mobilize also. how common is it for parties and friends from across the political spectrum to team up like this? well, we have a tradition of a parties creating life is all the time on the municipal level, even on the legislative level, on the national legislative level and national certainly you look at the the ghost feel. you have a plural left for 1997 to 2002 left when the lines um, even on the right uh, nicholas are close. these majority also was made up of the lines. maximum of majority is actually an alliance and multiple parties. and you also have distribution of candidates withdrawing from the 2nd round of races in parliamentary races in order to boost the chances of another candidate. none of that is really

knew of what is new is we haven't seen these, this type of withdrawals happening on this kind of scale. i mean it's because the r m has never had a chance of winning a majority like like it does right now. so again, the interest really just, we haven't seen on this scale, that's what's new, and that's what we're seeing today. no more say the city where you live, coal is famous for its large immigrants, communities where people, they're saying about next sundays run all. it really depends on where you are in the city. so i, i live in central america and when you walk around here you see all kinds of n t, r n graffiti. you see posters that are current encouraging people to vote for the last against the r n. if you go to the northern parts of the city that are more impoverished, you also have a lot of support for the less. but you know, martha is a city where you also have a lot of support for the are and it's not just kind of a big, happy melting pot. and you have people that live in the walter neighborhoods that

go that are getting more for the r n based on kind of conservative values. i mean, you had to kind of backlash to, to the, to the question of crime and insecurity. a lot of those people are also voting for the r n. so it's actually quite quite more of a mix and you might think cool, thanks very much for that. that was freelance journalist, coal stangler in more say thank you. the to britain and campaigners are raising the alarm on behalf of the nearly 1000000 children who live in poverty in the u. k. rising inflation has driven a growing number of families through the brink in the last couple of years. and now with national elections on the horizon, the next government is being urge to make the cost of living crisis, the number one priority. behind the london glittering facade, there is a lot of hidden hardship, pool and rich lives side by side. greenwich is located in south london, and as one of the poor is communities in england, many a fee of that,

the surroundings, the entire country are in this state of crisis. i'm a single mom and i work 2 jobs. and i'm just trying to pay nursery fees as well as school fees and then keep them private ran like everything is so expensive, staple. i worry them the counting the pennies on the it's very hard so everyone know people to spend so much time in asset trying to pay rent and things to live. they actually can quite often lose sights of their, their real goals and what they really want to be doing charities of wanting. the prices for food, energy and drug have increased dramatically what income is, has not. but it's not just those on the bread line that are feeding the pinch with inflation just coming down from a 41 year high. britain's cost of living crisis is also hitting the middle clauses . many people are now dependent on food,

but families with children. how often especially vulnerable we seen a really c buys in the number of people being forced to turn to see things just to survive. so over the last 5 years, the number of emergency food policies we've provided has nearly doubled last year. it was a reco 3100000 emergency food parcels. so that's an increase of the worrying runs in the number of people who just haven't gotten enough money to afford the essentials. poverty can affect everyone. that's what val mckee wants to draw attention to. also, husband died. the freelance management consultant lost her apartment and became dependent on food. thanks. so much in the middle cost is hidden and that will be an awful lot of people struggling today. so who like myself going to ask for help? it's just almost like the worst possible thing that you do. it's about was it just

to you sort of emotionally and psychologically. um, because it's very scary. it's a very scary and shameful place to be. many years feel abandoned by politicians. things like leaving a decent. well they don't see what's going on on denise, they hear it. i don't see it. they hear it, but then no, no quotes like, i think they get their luncheon in the house of uh, of uh, pallets of voice moves to. i think they have plenty of expenses that they can say. i don't think we advocate the people in greenwich few left alone with that every day problems. hardly anyone here seems to have any hope that the upcoming election would change anything and dw as big and most who filed that report joins us now from london. big your report focused on poverty in the u. k. is, is the decisive issue in this week's election. that surprisingly is

actually not terry. so the conservatives are promising that they will comp, texas the not promising to put more money into social well. so even the opposite, they want to that they want to cost it more. they want to encourage more people. others, critics might say full is more people to get into work. and the labor party also emphasizing that, they want to grow the economy. the capacities are acknowledging that there is a cost of living crisis, but the emphasis is not on helping poor people. it's more to get the alien purchase economy back on track. now labor is expected to win this election by a landslide, is that because labor have more convincing policies and candidates, or our voters just fed up with a conservative versus a definitely dissatisfied with british politicians? i mean, when i spoken to people on the street and i tried to engage them and political

conversations about leaders, a lot of them said they are just as bad as each other. so there is a, an old time high l. so what the polls are showing of, of dissatisfaction with british politicians. now the conservative party have been in power for 14 years. so experts say they look at the elections. i say that's really quite often unnatural. and it's a long time, a long stretch to be in power. so there is a natural end to it. however, the conservatives have also created some crises of their own making boast, johnson was conceived as a very and that's not very competent. prime minister, you, we have this trust, conservative prime minister for very short time because she crest versus she calling to me. so. so these are whole made crises on top of that. of course we've had, the ukraine was that drove up inflation. we've had cove it to so a lot of factors are coming together. what was i just saying?

this really has to stop and we need something else. not because they particularly love kids delma in the labor party, but because they really want something different. it's highly likely that the labor party is leader coast time or will be the next prime minister. what could you tell us about him there? and again, when i try to engage people on the streets and awesome, how would you characterize and it was not very easy to get something out of them. boring is, is one way that people do say about kids dogma. but also on the more positive side, he has the reputation of being somebody who is competent. he was doing turning to his biography, he was telling me he was born in the working clause family. and his dad was a to make a that's something that he very often actually also emphasize is because it's a contrast to receive student who's one of the wealthiest men in the country. he

studied low and then rose for the rings and headed the british crown prosecution service and was knighted by then prince charles. so he's had a career before he started politics, and his reputation is as being somebody who's moved managerial. he's not somebody who comes up with great visions, his biographer says that he will go about running the country, like in boy a sort of diligently, slowly building blocks motor a phones but not the ground visions there gets thank you so much. good to see was our correspondent, biggest, most inland. let's catch up on a few other stories making headlines today. south korea has resumed artillery drills near the border with north korea for the 1st time in 6 years. the exercises took place 5 kilometers from the demilitarized south korea had altered front line

military tensions in a 2018 pact with the north to russian warships of docked in venezuela for a stop over meant to highlight the close ties between the nations. bosco is a key ally of that as well as left just residing. the russian naval vessels also took part in extra sizes in the atlantic ocean and stopped over in communist cuba. hurricane barrel is heading toward jamaica and mexico, after battering the se, caribbean some islands have reported massive damage with at least 6 deaths. on monday barrow became the earliest storm to develop into a category 5 hurricane, but it's now been downgraded to a category for storm. it's expected to bring life threatening winds and storm searches to jamaica bringing the boats in from this show jamaican fishermen trying to say what they can as harken barrow turned towards the island on the dead. yeah,

it seems. i would like to know that most people learn the rules the local government is using the last few hours before impact to make sure the suit is stonewall to trade in their system. already and technicians doing what they can just help crucial telecommunication lines from being caught. this is your last few hours to complete those preparations. follow any guidance there were evacuating orders have been given by local officials. i spared heavy rainfall, especially in mountainous areas, in rainfall flooding as a potential to kill large numbers of people across the caribbean, especially in those mountainous areas. so we're getting multiple life threatening hazards, especially in jamaica. and it's not just people in jamaica preparing to face barrels disastrous force. locals of mexico have also been talking up on goods and using plywood to secure their homes and businesses. but it's hard to tell if

those efforts will make much of a difference as of to bytes or in the south. east caribbean burial has proven time. and again, that bill spend nothing and it's both. it's here in germany. turkish football fans have been celebrating their team making it into the euro 2024 quarter finals with the wind over austria. thousands of fans took to the streets in the capital here, berlin to celebrate their teams when blocking off large parts of the inner city. turkey book their spot in the last 8 by beating austria, 2 goals to one in a game that went down to the wire. they'll now meet the other ones in berlin on saturday. the you are watching dw news from berlin,
