lions has kept the fall right out. the country faces the hung parliament divided into 3 opposing groups. which could mean years of political deadlock and decoding to frances constitution. you elections cannot be held for a year. earlier i asked our correspondent in paris lisa, the we, how difficult the task will now be of forming a new french government to i think it will be incredibly difficult. fonts has not really known, doesn't have any, a huge experience of forming coalitions, unlike a neighboring countries, such as a germany and in the cost. you know, you had a few occasions where there was a so called core be 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 wall actually didn't block off that well. now to night though,

lots of of positions will be thinking about who might be the next prime minister we just saw at that prime instead of looking at type, is going to submit his resignation a tomorrow. now he should stay in place as a catch how you are, you know, the catch take a 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 the new 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 president 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 call these actions, 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 it even more difficult . situation impala and he always, he speculated, will speculating that you would enlarge his, you know, the number c, c, use of 250. now there's a numbers 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 step 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 w correspond at least salary for us and paris. thank you. as residents along the texas coast,

or boarding up their homes and businesses and preparation for the arrival of storm barrel, which is due to make land falls south of houston in the coming hours maybe urologist worn. but beryl could grow into a category to hurricane as it sweeps up from mexico, texas authorities are advising people to evacuate from certain areas. beryl claimed, at least 11 lives and left a trail of devastation when it rips through the caribbean and mexico last week. matthew could put a as a media or ologist who gave us this update from that a gord of bait and texas were barrels due to make landfall. 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 and maybe 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. that there is a lot of concern about the timing of the storm. so early in the year. tell us about that. yeah, this is him. it is already all kind of a gang busters dark. i barely came to 1st ever category find to form so early in the season in the strongest room on record in the atlantic during the month of july . more over it was the right uh furnace south category for on record to be lansing

and it intensified faster from a drop the person to a category for a storm faster than any other storm before the month of september. so really it is a storm of historical significance. part of the reason is very warm water temperatures. in addition to the warm water temperatures, we're supercharged the storms. we also have a with 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 october. i think we'll see many more storms and perhaps some major hurricanes, making windfall that was made urologist. matthew cut poochie reporting from mat acorta bay in texas. now to some of the other stores making years around the world, protesters have blocked roads across israel to march 9 months since the most terrorist attacks on october 7th demonstrators in tel aviv and jerusalem called for prime minister benjamin netanyahu to resign. they also urged

a cease fire to allow the release of hostages held by him us. rescue workers are rushing to repair and damn breach of china is donald king or lake. let's force thousands of people from their homes. reach comes after torrential rains and the central who non profits chinese state media set it could take days to complete the repair work, as well as i don't know salvatore's authoritarian president. now your book book kelly has threatened businesses with tough consequences of food prices. don't draw a televised speech, but kayla drew a direct comparison with his crack down on street gangs. crime has dropped drastically since the president's mass imprisonment campaign began in 2022, but rights groups say many have been detained. arbitrarily. us president joe biden appeared at a campaign event in pennsylvania. that's an ongoing discussion about his capabilities to run for

a 2nd term. pennsylvania is one of the key swing states that will decide who wins the oval office. this november a bring delaware, however, is a solid lead democratic state where joe biden was a senator for more than 3 decades w's. janelle du du milan, went to delaware to gauge support for the presidents. 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. train travelers a railway station named after him for motorists a rest stop around his neighborhood. president joe biden may even notice a support of neighbor is not far away. there's also one place he often ends up to babble as has been serving joe biden at the charcoal pit 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. you may come here all his life. what does the order and she's they

face rise ice cream. ah, that's pretty my god. what he wants to die despite his famous patron avila says he prefers to keep his use mostly neutral and let the personal take precedence over the political. are you going to vote for him this, this here? that questions that on when the answer those questions as because the honor of this restaurant we, you know, when we asked to get involved with in the, on a step before becoming vice president. and then eventually, president arden represented delaware and the us senate for 36 years. the state is also hosting the biden harris campaign headquarters for 2020, for 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 well known citizens. this reliably, blue state is unlikely to turn red, delaware for the democrats 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 people are we were saying, here's the mentor or something for like you too old to be to present. he can't even speak. i don't know is just a certain stuff. certain parameters, i feel like not even parameters, just check points that should allows someone to be in a position to run a country. he can't do it right now. or they say ages nothing but 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 health issues, you know, lot of people talking about that. i seen him talking about, you know, calling him sleepy. joe,

you're never too old to do anything wrong as you still alive and kicking. good. that last message is one that the president himself has been trying to hammer home . but the residents of the state where it all started for bite, and we'll be looking just as closely as to where and when it may, all that as will the rest of the country ready studies slow. those are the words that kicked off the world snail racing championships. in norfolk england, this weekend organizer said conditions were perfect, just a little bit, damp, and not to warrant. after weeks of training and preparation, the racers and their coaches were ready to compete. a winning trainer receives an engraved, puter tankers, and the price for the victorious snail, a very juicy arrangement of romaine lettuce. this is where the winter was a snail cold. jeff, and there he is. a and a reminder of the top story we're following for you. and alliance of left wing
