the, the, this is the, the news why from berlin voting begins in france in a runoff election that's expected to put in reading the pins for right party. out on top, a new political landscape could diminish. president emanuel met hans power, also coming up. at least 16 people killed in and is really air strike on a school. in garza, thousands were sheltering in the building that israel claims was housing a most terrorists the and a warm welcome to you, our viewers around the world. i'm michael. ok. france is voting in the 2nd and

final round of snap problem entry elections. you're looking at live pictures as polls have just opened in france, the result could produce the country's 1st far right government. since world war 2 were reading the pens and immigration, national rally stands a chance of winning a majority for the 1st time. but the outcome remains uncertain. the rise of the far right natural rally has been the main talking point in this campaign. let's see how we got here and what's at stake for france and the rest of the world of the today's votes started with a crushing the feed for president emanuel and crawls renaissance party at the hands of the far right and europe and elections. to clarify the political situation, he dissolved parliament and called a snap legislative poll, a gamble that the country was not ready to vote in a far right government. a gamble that seemed increasingly risky after the far right

national rally easily took the lead in the 1st round of voting last sunday. the question now is whether they'll win an outright majority in the run off enough to rule without forming a coalition. that possibility frightens many and inspired more than 200 centrist and left wing candidates to pull out of the 2nd round earlier this week. to avoid splitting the anti national rally vote. the mood in paris has been both anxious and angry. the 16, this is your decision by my call isn't thought through. it's immature, he shot himself and a foot shot and the feet of all the french, just put everyone into this impossible situation and plunged everyone into a deep mess. were all on the same mess on it was, don't, i'm getting. i'm supposed to be now headboard. i think people are just really fed up and deeply frustrated. given that under president mccord's 2 terms, we've seen an explosion of the far right. even though one of the promises of the

president in 20172022 was to set up a barrage against the far right on the call for his nap elections was meant to help the governing centrist against the far right. but had the unintended side effect of revitalizing the french left was form the new coalition, overcoming decades of pickering and disagreements. the left during coalition called the new popular front, pulled behind the national riley in the 1st round, but still well ahead of maxwell's parties. to the far right campaigns largely on an anti immigration platform and on pocket book issues, pledging to lower energy taxes for instance. but if it comes to power, it's historic animosity to the european union. and it's a nato could have major international effects in france for the far right to arrive in power and such a major. this is the 2nd biggest economy within, within the european union. and this is one of the world's biggest ministry powers.

it's getting involved in ukraine. it's a both in africa. um, it's a, it's as country that, that, that really, you know, projects itself will be on this board. no matter what happens macro and will still be president, his term runs until 2027. but in the event of a right wing victory for a hung parliament where no party or coalition gets a majority, his powers will be diminished. and he'll be stuck with a new government for at least a year. the minimum before he can see a radically dissolved parliament and call new elections again. we're drawing now by dw corresponding to sonya federal court in paris. sonya, what's the chatter in political circles? could the national riley with an absolute majority well, this is an absolute, pivotal deal floating today in france with the hot right. and i should ready really and an unpleasant the president position of strength going into the 2nd and final

round or 14. but we have seen and we some days frantic efforts by the left wing a line so new popular front and my call center. so lines to really block the far right to this strategy has been to withdraw candidates from 3. we'd run off and uniting behind the remaining contained door that has the best chance to block out to defeat the, the product, the actual candidates, and the seems to be paying off so far. the opinion polls show that the natural gravity may get just above 200 seats and parliaments. that's the width short of the $289.00 seats required for an absolute majority. but that'll still a lot of unknowns today. one big concern is that not all of our call centers, allies have united behind the strategy to block the far right. we've heard from lawmakers who don't equate to the left with the fault, right? in terms of extremist policies that are concerns that this could prevent some central photos today from bolting for the left and run off against the far right. and so i think a lot today depends on where the voters would keep the school,

but main street bodies to block the far right. really whole that noises and vote what candidates what really far removed from their initial choice in the 1st spot. so here we're hearing the campaigns been marked by threats and even some physical violence. what can you tell us? that's right, i've been discomfort and has been you know, really kind of shocked it. intense and really polarizing, we've heard from interior minister general demo, says 51 candidates or the deputies in part the active as have been physically attacked so far by people of wearing backgrounds. the french media have been reporting about a spike in cape speech and waste of incidence across bronze during this campaign. to give you just a couple of examples that are reports of pamphlets targeting black people that have appeared in mailboxes in a virus. some of recently in the southern city of, of you know, there is a local bakery that ought to be hired an apprentice from the ivory coast that break . we've started with recent slogans and set on fire. i makes lots of really

expressed concerns about the surge of you know, support for the fall right now seems to be making some people comfortable with using races and legal fees for big language openly in public life. we've also seen a few candidates of the far right, and i shall gladly being engulfed and controlled vesee some of them boasting hate vestiges races, speech and social media post. and to add to all of this, the fields of violence tonight, and virus and other cities. regardless of the outcome of the world security here has already been tied to the olympics. it's been based up for the tonight with more than $30000.00 offices on the ground. so the 2nd wonderful thing is certainly taking place in a very charged atmosphere. a piece made a quick reference to this, but explain what happens if neither the national rally nor any other party gets an absolute majority. i was suppose to say that is a likely outcome hung parliament with neither party gets a majority. we could be potentially headed up for great local to still meet in phones, which is the 2nd largest economy in europe. one option where we could see is, uh,

you know, uh, the government tried to set up some kind of a grand clinician, not a government of national unity built that are concerns about, you know, whole thoughts that could happen. and the option for my call could be 2 copies to get the government an open to, to pick up from and of exploits and technocrats much like it's listed in the boss to. but there are concerns about, you know, with the, with the, this would require compromise the goldfish and the concerns about how that government would suffice. i think the immediate concern for funds is to have some kind of government in place during the by the so the mix which take place at the end of the month. our thanks to us on your federal car in paris at least 16 people have been killed in and is really strike on a you when run school in gaza, children or among the dead. the most round health ministry said the attack also injured over 50 people. the strike came as is really protesters ramped up pressure
