the and david levitz welcome to the program, french prime minister gabrielle. that child has announced he plans to resign. that's as president emmanuel and my call centrist together coalition look set for 2nd place in parliamentary elections. projections show the 4 week old new popular front, the left wing of alliance, unexpectedly coming out on top. nothing depends far right. national rally party is projected to come in 3rd place. the supporters of the french left celebrated in paris. no group looks likely to emerge with an absolute majority in parliament. or let's look at the seat distribution now according to projections from broadcast or t f one. the left wing alliance, the pot,

the new popular front in red could get as many as a 198 seats. and yellow president my calls together coalition could take up to a $169.00 seats. nothing depends national rally and light blue is on course to get as many as a 143 seats, far short of a majority, and the center, right, republicans and dark blue are estimated to take up to 63 seats. other parties could get 15 seats. that's a vi projected distribution in the french and national assembly. and what will be a hung parliament and far left leaders already made on shore, urged president my clients to invite his leftist new popular front coalition to form a government given projections. but put it in the lead men also sides whose coalition managed to give voice to the majority of the electorate. now the will of the people must be strictly respected. they know no trick.

arrangements or other combinations would be acceptable. no, sylvia. dex, it's tablet on these different election has given us a clear less than those up and to not do so. the defeats of the presidents of the republic. what is your hunch is coalition is clear. for me, the president must admit his defeat without limit the med instead, i believe so don't they do not go to the group. the prime minister must leave to know what we need to do. i saw not a while short time later, prime minister gabriella told us that he will offer his resignation on monday as well. to night, the political party i've represented during this campaign. he has 3 times more in peace than what predicted man last week and just postpone judgmental. so we do not have a majority to that in order to alma, our republican values,

want me tomorrow morning. i will submit my resignation to the president of the republic of each. tonight's projected results me in france. i was looking at a hung parliament. i asked our correspondent in paris. we saw the we, how difficult the task will be of forming a new government to i think it will be incredibly difficult. fonts has not really known, doesn't have any, a huge experience of forming correlations on like a neighboring countries such as a germany and in the cost, you know, you had a few occasions where there was a so called cooperate to show, which means basically the prime minister and the president, i'm not from the same political come that didn't go down that while actually didn't block off that well. now to night though, lots of positions will be thinking about who might be the next prime minister. we just thought that prime minister going to that time is going to submit his

resignation a tomorrow. now he should stay in place as a cash hiker or you know, catch a to prime minister, move his car, take a government, and until a new government will be formed. and there is going to be lots of taking and praying about who will be the new prime minister. we thought that the left wing, the lines, the new republic in front of a new, a popular front will come together tomorrow they sit around a table and think about who could they, you know, put forward as a name for present in my call to name as a new 5 minutes that we were so i may be watching that situation. now, at least when president my client called the snap elections, it was a huge gamble for him. and for france, how's that gamble paid off? well i think when he called these elections, he's thoughts so i mean that this was a genius idea and would take everybody by surprise. everybody was surprised. but i

think many very few people like she thought that this was a good idea and turns out that he actually lost seats in parliament. the damage is limited tonight and yet he now would have to have it to face even more difficult situation impala and he always, we speculated will speculating that he would enlarge his, you know, the number, cc yusef, 250. now this a number is going to go down at, but no other com will have an absolute majority of 2 and a may to 9. so it's likely to be a hung parliament you have to wiggle through. he said that he would not set down before the next presidential election, which is going to be in 2027. but inside of me, certainly not be easy for me to to double your correspondent lease salary for us in paris. thank you. residents along the texas coast are boarding up their homes and businesses in preparation for the arrival of storm barrow, which is due to make land fall south of houston. and the coming hours media are

ologist warren. the burial could grow into a category to hurricane, as it sweeps up from mexico, texas authorities are advising people to evacuate from certain areas. barrow claims, at least 11 lives, and left a trail of devastation when it rips through the caribbean and mexico last week. on matthew, pushy as a media or ologist and journalist who joins me now from mattel gord, ebay and texas right. where the storm is expected, the hits, matthew, we can see some big clouds behind you. how our people they're preparing. it's. yeah, most definitely gotta say you're right now, you know, it's funny. it was raining a little while ago now. it's not so bad outside we're kind of in between these range laws that are pivoting in right now. and we're actually very lucky at this hour barrows kind of lose ragged, disorganized part of the reason for that. it's a wind system. i want you to think of an ice skater spinning if an ice skater wants

has been faster, they have to pull in their arms and decrease their radius. and that just hasn't happened yet, so it's still a higher end. tropical storm, with winds around a 100 kilometers per hour, but we do think it could come ashore as at least a hurricane. it may be a higher end category one hurricane. thus far we've seen people sort of run from the water high from the wind. they've moved inland a little bit if they're at risk of storm surge flooding. i've seen windows boarded up, but realistically this is not a high end impact storm for texas, for those of the media co sign. yes, but texas has been through worse and they likely will be again at some point now aside from the damage barrow might continue to do and we really do hope that it won't be too much there. there is a lot of concerned about the timing of this storm. so early in the year. tell us about that. yeah, the season meeting is already also kind of a gang busters start. hey, barely came to 1st ever category find to forms the early in the season and the strongest dorm on record in the atlantic during the month of july. it's more over

a to z, a furnace south category for on record to be lansing. and it intensified faster from a truck depression to a category for a storm faster than any other store and before the month of september. so really it is a storm of historical significance. part of the reason it's very warm water temperatures, in addition to the warm water temperatures, we're supercharged the storms. we also have a media pattern ongoing across the atlantic, which means more rise in air which can form stores more easily and weaker upper level wins, which means it's easier for a storm to get going. so i think this is just the start of a very busy season and come september or october. i think we'll see many more storms. and perhaps some major hurricanes making windfall is now massive right now . barrels classified as a tropical storm there. so i'm concerned that it could become a hurricane again. what's going to determine whether it stays a tropical storm or gets back up to hurricane strength? yeah, one thing we've been continuing with from a storm standpoint is dry air wrapping in on the back side. that's been working

through a road, a southern side of a circulation, which is part of the reason why barrow is kind of disorganized right now. and that's a good thing for texas. we want this dry air to win out and sort of infiltrate the storm. i do think however, in the next 12 hours before it makes landfall, it will encounter very warm water temperatures on the order of 31 or 32 degrees celsius and relax upper level wins. and that could ruin environment for quick strengthening at the last minute. if barrel can consolidate in the inner core, so it's really a game of wait and see, the environment does favor strengthening. but at the same time, barrels kind of not organized right now, so it can tighten up a little bit. it will intensify if it can't. then it won't, regardless, i'd say plan for a high end category one, maybe category 2, hurricane my guess it'll come through with winds around. it's a 11225 kilometers per hour in that for matthew to purchase. the thank you for your report and please stay safe. thank you. you

as president joe biden appeared at a campaign that event in pennsylvania, that's an ongoing discussion about his capability is to run for a 2nd term. pennsylvania is one of the key swing states that will decide who wins the oval office come november. may bring delaware, however, is a solidly democratic state where joe biden was a senator for more than 3 decades to double use. janelle do milan, went to delaware to gauge support for the president. it's not the seat of power, but this is where the most powerful person in the country calls hope. the signs are hard to miss for arriving trained travelers a railway station named after him for motorists, or rest all around his neighborhood. president joe biden may even notice a support of neighbor not far away. there's also one place he often ends up. the avalanche has been serving joe biden at the charcoal pet for some 30 years. he's been coming for a lot longer than that since it opened in 1956. sometimes with family,

sometimes with colleagues. do you mind coming here all his life? what does the order she's they face, fries, ice cream. uh, that's pretty much what he wants to time. despite his famous patron avila says he prefers to keep his views mostly neutral, and let the personal take precedence over the political. are you going to vote for him? this is here that questions that are on when the answer those questions as because the honor of this restaurant we, you know, when we asked to get involved with ending on us, stop before becoming vice president. and then eventually, president arden represented delaware and the us senate for 36 years. the state is also hosting the burden harris campaign headquarters for 2024. a move representing the link between his long career path. but his goal of a continued presidential future. but especially the last weeks of a campaign in crisis mode may have put that goal further out of reach. so biden's,

home, state of delaware affairs, the hallmarks of his personal and political history. but even here, let me see, and on certain way forward for the states most found on citizens. this reliably blue state is unlikely to turn red delaware for the democrat in the last 8 election . but the nation wide discussion over is age and his ability to run for president and govern if we elected have not been lost on people here. i saw a few times that he's been falling asleep and stuff like that. and like building off and doing, i guess, to borrow a lot of we were saying here's dementia or something for like you too old to be to present. he can't even speak. i don't know is just as certain stuff, certain parameters. i feel like not even parameters, just check points that should allow someone to be in a position to run a country to can do it right now. or they say ages nothing but a number. but also it also depends on your health. on the health aspect is not

really much to do with, you know, how old he is, but just uh, maybe if he has the health issues, you know, a lot of people talk about that. i see him talking about, you know, calling him sleepy. joe, you're never too old to do anything wrong, or do you feel alive and kicking? good. that last message is one that the president himself has been trying to hammer home with the residents of the state where it all started for biden. we'll be looking just as closely as to where and when it may, all that as well. the rest of the country a and a reminder of the top story we're following for you early projections show the new popular front left wing alliance, unexpectedly coming out on top and frances parliamentary elections, the centrist alliance of president emanuel, and my call is in 2nd place ahead of my name depends far right. national rally and french prime minister gabrielle outside says he plans to offer his resignation . on monday, after leading the centrist alliance, 2 a 2nd place finish. but he added that he will carry out his functions as long as

required. that you're up to date. i'm david levitz from me and the whole team here in berlin. thanks for watching. you can find more news at the not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the look at the current use events analyzed by experts and chris. the cool thing is this is video weekdays, on dw, january 2021. the attack on the united states capital thousands of people took pods and among them.
