the, the, this is dw news line from berlin, french prime minister, gabriella tyler boats in a parliamentary election that his centrists are expected to lose to marine le pens for right national rally. but can they win a majority or will there be a post election power struggle? also coming up, it was orange. you for you up in berlin as the nettle into knocked turkey out of the european championship quarter finals, leaving germany sizable turkish diaspora, downcast. the

and a warm welcome to you, our viewers around the world. i'm michael france is voting in the 2nd and final round of snap problem entry elections. voters are casting ballots that could produce the country's 1st far right government. since world war 2 were reading the pens, anti immigration, national rally, sans 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 france got here and what's at stake for the nation and the rest of the world. today's votes started with a crushing defeat for president emmanuel 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 pole. 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 party. on 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. 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 big economy within, within the european union. and this is one of the world's biggest ministry powers.

it's gotten involved in ukraine. it's a both in africa. it's, uh, 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 collision 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 radically dissolved parliament and call new elections again. earlier i spoke to dw correspondence, showing you a found the car in paris. i asked her about the likelihood of the national rally winning an absolute majority as well. this is an absolute pivot to day or 14 today and friends with the far right and i should ready, really and, and, and for this the president position of strength going into the 2nd and final round

all 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 kind of withdrawal candidates from 3. we'd run off and uniting behind the remaining contains so that has the best chance to block to defeat the, the product, commercial candidates, and the seems to be paying off so far. the opinion polls show that the natural gravity may get just above 200 seats involvements. that's the wind short of the $289.00 seats required for an absolute majority. but that's still a lot of unknowns to be one big concern is that not only from across central 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 far right in terms of extremes, 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 he, the school, what means 3 bodies to block the far right. really whole,

that noises. i'm multiple candidates what really far move from their initial choice in the 1st one. 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 discomforting. has been you know, really kind of shorted 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 varying backgrounds. the french media have been reporting about a spike in heat speech and races 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 report to be hired. and the print is from the ivory coast that break or even started with the waste of slogans and set on fire. i makes lots of really expressed concerns that a soldier, you know,

support for the fall right now seems to be making some people comfortable with using races and vito voltag language openly in public life. we've also seen a few candidates of the far right, and i shall gladly being engulfed and can prophesy, some of them boasting hate vestiges, resa 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 vote, the county here has already been tied to the olympics. it's been beefed 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 dw sonya central car there in paris. now some of the other stories making news around the world. at least 16 people have been killed in and is really airstrikes on a un school in god. so according to the home us run health ministry, the school in on this, iraq was reportedly sheltering displays, palestinians. these really military says it's aircraft, quote, struck several terrorist operating instructors located in the area of an rose l.

mars football now and england have beaten switzerland in the 1st of 2 quarter finals at the european championship. the match proved to be another nail biter ending one all in regular time with no goals in the extra time the match went down to a penalty shoot out. trent alexander arnold converted the final spot, kicked to wind to shoot out for england. 5 to 3. and in the 2nd matter of the evening, the netherlands beat turkey to advance to the semi finals. the turkish team took the lead early on in the 1st half and fiercely defended it into the 2nd. but in the 76 minute, the ducks turn the game around, scoring wants to draw even then again, 5 minutes later, with an own goal by a turkish player. the final score to one, to let's bring in danielle barcelona, some d, w. sports done your you were at the olympics,

you had them in berlin that last night for the netherlands. tricky match. i imagined it was electric. yeah, it was absolutely thunderous. it was passed. oh, there's thousands of people there, the stadium holes over 70000 people. and it was totally full. now, the majority of those fans or turkish fans actually because we talked to it before this tournament is almost like a home tournament for turkey. and there's a large turkish population in germany, especially in berlin. and they bring some of the most fantastic atmospheres leading up to games. now also the novel is one of the fan groups that bring a lot of, you know, the orange fans going lasting going, right. we saw everything last night now leading up so much there's a little bit more tension and there's a lot more police presence that i've seen at other matches, especially because there's a lot of political tensions going on. off the pitch air. the gun was in attendance, so they were tardies police. that's police and german police, but to be honest, the atmosphere was pretty peaceful, and the fans were just wanting to have

a lot of fun and celebrate football. me. in the 1st semi final, spain will take on france. what can we expect there? well, spain so far is the only thing. that's one, all of their games in the tournament and they've been in terms of performance and consistency. the most impressive side, i think they've oh good. yeah, definitely. so they're very good. obviously we know at possession they can possess the ball, but what the font that has added to his team. i think we talked to us before as well. is that he added verticality and directness, they can get the wall fast out wide to their plays like nika, williams. you know, mean, lemme like, these players can hurt you one be want to now they possess with the intent to score goals and that makes them very dangerous. that being said, they're coming up against friends who although have been criticized for being lack luster. have so much quality in their side. now the quite can is, can they start to click at the right moment because against, when it's going to be the hardest test they've had?

do they have the players, can they get the results? yes, i mean, they need to be a little bit better in their attack. you know, they haven't even score and a goal from open play in the tournament to own goals and one penalty shot. so hopefully for us can start to click and we see a very good game. and of course it's the brits and the dodge in the 2nd bedroom. so it's, i mean, in glenn is another one of those sizes that we talked about. you know, a lot of quality favorites come in to the tournament, but questions about whether your associate can really get the most out of his players. they play a little bit pragmatically, now we can say whatever we want. but under southgate and for tournaments they've gotten to the semi finals 3 times. so the results speak for themselves and they have those layers like a june bellingham for capable of coming in and really changing the game in an instant, even if they're playing. maybe not so well. now the netherlands, it's kind of an outside or they've always had good squads, but they've kind of under achieved. and this, this time they have

a very solid team. and what's happened is they've grown into the turn of it. so now they're really starting to click at the right time. we saw them yesterday, you know, fight from behind to get a wind in a very difficult stadium where their, their friends were definitely not the majority. so they've shown that have the character to overcome the difficulties, and they have the talent both in attack and in defense to potentially have an upset . so listen, i lost my bragging rights into the very beginning. i was predicting a germany france final. that clearly is not going to happen, so i'm going to put you on the spot. okay. when the absolute last whistle sounds, who walks away a winner? i think spring just because they play the best football. they have a balance side and they have experience. but that mix of use players who can come in and change a game because they still have that excitement as i think in this one span. but honestly, i wouldn't be surprised in good scripts through you're not saying spain because your last name is barcelona by any chance?

no, i use a daniel, barcelona, dw sports many, many thanks. as always a ready, steady slow. those are the words that kicked off the world, the hill, racing championships, and norfolk england. this weekend organizer said conditions were perfect, just a little bit, damp, and not too warm. after weeks of training and preparation, the racers and their coaches were ready to compete. the winning trainer receives an engraved, puter tanker and the price for the victorious snail, a very juicy arrangement of romaine lettuce. this year is where the winner was a snail called jeff. there's jeff of whole general manager will ended on that image, but stay with us. our show reporter is up and that's looking at the challenges facing the queer community in turkey. don't forget there's always more new use in
