to the far right. so it was that he announced snap problem entry elections in his own country. now if macro and wanted voters to deliver a clear statement against the far right. well, he definitely got a statement. maureen, depends far, right. national rally was kept out of power a leftist alliance, apparently has been ushered into power tonight. confusion instead of clarity who really won the french election. i broke off in berlin. this is the day, the only the lessons of the votes are clear. the defeats of the presidents of the republic and these coalition is clearly confirmed. but a few minutes i think i'll go in once again my call chose to throw friends into the arms of the far left. france is better than an alternative between neo liberalism and fascism to golf, illinois and who's the big loser and who's the big winner?

the big loser is and my new and my call also coming up with the people who say their city is changing beyond recognition protesters in barcelona. take aim at those behind the transformation, the taurus by the categories. most the i'm here to try and stop tourism from destroying people's lives. i've been to the people in these neighborhoods have to leave because the prices where everything have risen so much jude, a tourism, which you one and 3 small and you all were viewers watching on cbs in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with a french president who wanted clarity, but instead got confusion. emanuel macro on today refused to accept the resignation of his prime minister gabriella tall. the prime minister offered to quit after the surprise victory of

a hastily assembled leftist alliance in parliamentary elections. president micron asked prime minister a tall to remain in the post at least temporarily. a tall said yes. the left is new popular front, one, a $182.00 seats and succeeded. and it's goal of preventing the far right national rally from gaining power. the national rally was in fact force into 3rd place with only a $143.00 seats despite expectations that it would repeat its 1st round when president emanuel mack, cronsa centrist together coalition. it came in 2nd with a 168 seats. big numbers there, but no group gained an absolute majority. no political party has an automatic claim to lead a new parliament for france. this could be the politics of paralysis celebrations in paris. as the far right is defeated at the pools by the left wing phone,

pop you there. the new popular front the make shift coalition of left wing parties came in 1st place and the surprise for posters and a relief for their candidates. not to get our people have clearly ruled out the worst case scenario since wow this evening. so the national riley is far from having the absolute majority that commentators were predicting a week ago. quite the contrary man did this, he did had been a month of suspense. for france, after centrist president emanuel mack hall called snap elections in a bid to catch a rising far right off guard and challenged them at the ballot box. the 1st round of votes did put money in the pens, anti immigration national rally party on track to win with some surveys predicting and outright majority. but after the centrist block collaborated with the left

block, pull their support, they managed to pull off a shocked the feet of the far right. some national rally, supporters watching the results couldn't believe their eyes. or i thought we were going to have at least $250.00 impedes. so i'm disappointed the big small. it's true that the micron block and the popular front joint forces to block the national rally. so yes, a lot of people voted for a barricade. the french were like beaver's blocking the national rally, and it's a shame because they didn't vote for ideas. they voted against ideas. these are what they visited. the jury is still out on whether mack home got what he wanted from his big gamble. block came in 2nd place in the center as prime minister, gabrielle atalla, with whom mac hall had governed side by side announced his resignation sunday night . but when he went to mac, calling to make good on his promise, the president told him to stay on temporarily as prime minister for the sake of

stability. it's the 1st salvo and what promises to be a heated debate over who's in charge of the left is the biggest for us and the divided parliament. the choice of prime minister is ultimately and by calls hands. while i 1st guess tonight is cecille we. she is a professor, a french with a focus on french politics at stanford university today, and she joins us from the great french city of paris. it's good to have you on the program, my the we, we know that president macro and he roll the dice by calling this snap election. it was a gamble. was it a gamble that he lost or desperately g as lost? so last year's majority is now 2nd, the probably meant b of loss more than a $120.00 c, as now is accredited without power. the french prosecution gives executive power to the prime minister. uh,

that is supposed to be from the majority program. and so now we're going to have a system where the president from one blog and possibly a prime minister in common, that was a very different kind of policy. so he has lost the ability to do what he wanted to do to apply his agenda and to lead for the next few years. so what do we know did about the left wing alliance, the national or the new popular fraud, which came in 1st. how, how will it, or how would it govern if it manages to actually put a prime minister in place as well? it's going to be difficult. you know, now we have 3 blocks which approximately have the same number of seats in poly minutes are no clear majority. and with this, the inability possibly to pass laws at legislation. however, the new popular union has said, what they are going to do is go measure by measure and try to negotiate collisions

on specific clothes. the points, for instance, clean energy or free school supplies for children to just made it to that were mentioned yesterday. so it's going to be difficult to have a clear agenda that will accomplish everything that they are hoping to be able to pass legislation is 1st smaller i is. the new popular front includes our viewers may not know this, but it includes the communist party of france, their communist party, which wants. and i'm quoting here, to overcome capitalism. so when you read that, when you hear that you have to wonder, has france just rejected one group of radicals to only open the door to another group of radicals? not really. the french communist party is no longer, you know, wanting to overcome capitalism. it was a walter stage with the state intervention and more social equality among citizens

. and it's been a long time to become is freddy, is not the leading force on the left breast. and they have, they are now actually much more center then they used to be just 20 years ago. so they, they are on the screen, corrosion and they have some pretty significant measures their agenda, including to raise the minimum wage to of 1600 years for instance, and to tackle environmental issues. but it's not the same nature of the vitality of the far right. which wanted to retreat from the european court of human rights to rewrite the press constitution and to create a sub group of 2nd to your citizens who would not have access to the same jobs. but it's very different in nature for the kind of run a gallery, the professor you whitney would had the agree with me that the the communists or

the these these left as they would not have received this type of voters support. had the voters not been in their intent on blocking the far right? absolutely. that's actually one of the trickiest point is that no 11 yesterday except maybe democracy because the term that was, you know, tremendous. so lots of voters went to the origin. that's a good sign for it, you know, a vibrant i'm a democracy, but there's no clear agenda that people really valued around. they voted against most of the time. so there's no clear line of we approach voters. one things to go from now on. if we look at the number of votes that each party, each group receive just an absolute numbers here it was the far right national rally, the party that received the most votes in this election. so we can say moving forward . but really depends party is actually the largest political party in france right

now. and yet they did not win this election. is this going to feed into a narrative, a victim hood? will the national rally? will they be able to garner even more support by claiming that thanks to the tactics we saw in this round the voting our victory was stolen? are there, there is a this narrative going around a re. 6 a still in the election, not to the degree that president the trunk supporters did and acted upon into in 2020. however, there is this feeling of disconnect between the 1st round of the election where the national rally came 1st with a very high number, 34 percent of the both it is a multi partisan system where it's really hard to get that height number. and now they are very quickly however, we should recognize that they came from 89 congress before 260,

i think today. yeah, it's a, the huge number. it's never been that strong. so indeed, you know, it's uh, everything can be looked at different angles from a positive or negative perspective. maybe great in the way they've never had that many congress representatives and congress. professor cecile, i believe, from the stanford university. joining us tonight from paris. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you. people in ukraine are coming to terms with the horrors of russia's largest air strike in one small scale fired dozens of missiles and multiple cities across the country, killing more than 30 people. ukraine's military says that it's air defense has managed to shoot down most of the missiles, but not all of them bringing tragic consequences for the children of key.

what you're seeing is a russian miss. so the explosion came from ukraine's largest children's hospital and faces the aftermath. the doctors, nurses, volunteers, and emergency services searched for victims a terrifying ordeal for survivors. the white children for some reason we always thought that of my deed was protected. we were simply a 100 percent sure that they would not hit here under turn. died? well, it turned out the way it turned out. we managed to get most patients act to safety except for those who were most ill. we stayed with them during the strikes and for the aftermath the

patients were forced to evacuate the hospital after at last water, oxygen and electricity keeps. mayer said the sold was one of the worst since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine over 2 years ago. genocide of population, the brain is right now the whole world see how russian visuals and gimme gather, drums, cubes, ukrainian citizens, presidents, a lot of mirrors, the landscape said more than 40 minutes. so i was targeted 5 ukrainian cities, the by raj, struck apartment buildings and public infrastructure. ukraine says it's intercepted, 30 minutes of russia has denied targeting the hospital saying it was hated by fragments of ukrainian air defense me. so speaking in poland, where he was signing a security deal, savanski dismissed at moscow denial. oh is, is that a see it should take you. so you're already seeing reports that ukrainian air

defenses to blame and skippable on the and not they're calculated strike. yeah. but i'm grateful to all the ukrainians have started posting videos where you can see on specifically not a part of this or that may silence or i can put a direct to me. so striking the injured and killed many people in ukraine today. we're not going to day of a greenish avoid this landscape also valued retaliation. the un security council said it will meet to discuss the attacks. they're also likely to feature highly on the agenda at a nato summit in washington on tuesday. the ukrainian president is expected to attend and to make another play for more support the water pistols were fully loaded and at the ready in barcelona over the weekend as

restoration at over torres and boiled over holiday makers were forced to take shelter and inside to avoid being so, thousands of demonstrators marched in protests at the sheer number of torres coming to visit. barcelona explains most visited city, some 12000000 people come every year. the protesters say that has led to a lack of housing and soaring rent prices for residents. maybe the categories most the i'm here to try and stop tourism from destroying people's lives into this because the people in these neighborhoods have to leave. because the prices for everything have risen so much jude to tourism. what you want to do some more we don't see them and see again my personal now the last few years the sleeping has turned completely for storage on what we want you to see the for see the sense i'm

not the and service of stories and think we need sustainable tourism that allows people to live off tourism, but doesn't prevent residential from living then normal life. and for more now i'm joined by comment arcada. and so she's the spokesperson of the barcelona tenants union. she's also in urban and housing research or at la utila institute. it's coming, it's good to have you with this. i understand you were born and raised in barcelona, so you're the right person there to oppose this question to. i mean help us understand what it means to have 12000000 people. torres come to your city every year. how does that affect your life? yeah, so the listing like the change a lot know basically and there's spaces of the city that we no longer have it housing prices have been skyrocket. the they have more than doubled in the past 10

years. and. and in general, you see that a lot of people around this are having jobs, religious reasons, which are extremely big areas. they're the worst paid jobs in the city. so basically like we're losing a sense of what living in the needs because a lot of other getting expense policy and the ones that remain leaving for conditions. do you feel like barcelona is still your city or do you feel like it isn't anymore? no, i good as you believe and be like give you the city and that's exactly why a 1000 people went on to the streets to actually claim that we need a change in the cd. now, i think it's important to understand that all of these products that have been taking place are not again, stories as individuals. but they're,

what they're questioning is whether it is sustainable d based on an economy. that is like a model culturally, solely based on 2 reasons. it has a lot of externalities. and so we think we need to switch to a much more neighbors model that they run away from tourism because it has too many back binding. but let me, let me ask you, um, so it's a, we'll see, and not the cds our we actually want to buy it so that our children can also leaving work alone. but what about, what about your children? the next generation, if you wanted to buy an apartment right now in barcelona, what are the chances of that apartment, that real estate being affordable? yes, phrases are like style rather d m actually at these really publish to research which says that 7 out of 1010, and we'd never even heard of the house. we're

a part of the house. the entry level of the real estate markets are completely impossible when we see you said houses are mainly bought by either very, very high and i'm going to be both like rich people or really investors. okay. so basically what we see, the tourism and real estate are very much connected. they are meeting the city on a horrible. so only thing of the future generation we've seen high rent breakfast, doubling the best thing years. so yeah, we are sending have the wage in, in halloween, i've seen it, and i'm sure a lot of people can, can relate to what you're saying a bit all over the world, especially over tourism. we know what it means for real estate prices. and i know that you want that to change, but you know, the one story that's been getting a lot of attention if you've had people from barcelona using water, pistols,

and shooting at holiday makers, torres in the city to make a point. is that the right way to, to make positive change or? well, i see that these products are really every same, no way that after so many years of people like boiling out on barley at the front the there's people not only going industries in barcelona, but everywhere around the same use. every thing that's because it makes fully additions like not be able to like, look away, but like have to confirm the problem. i think the, the, the brothers have been extremely, be like the school. i don't see like water be so is that i make anyone afraid but i just think it's an interesting question because i think the problem is that all is well understood like it's not like the series of individuals bother us with

. so might, buddy, the question is the, the model of the c, so like tourism is a bad model of the bodies, then for 3 main reasons. not to mention the housing gracie right here, example, it ships to fly away from my stable housing and a branch. there's the market, so prices go up. so one to the job, the tourism free are very that they actually the just read through the like the workers are half of the cities, average weight really, really the worst job. i'm 3rd, we're in atlanta and i go to the emergency and the reason is high and sustainable. ok. i think people are the single, the individual tourist, but on like actually questioning our own government like to be willing to address reason right now, what about your mayor the mirror barcelona he wants or she but i just read the

mirror of barcelona wants to band short term holiday rentals in the city by the year 2028. that means i am assuming like no more air b and b rentals in barcelona for tours. um. will that work? is it enough? is it going to affect change quickly enough? do you thanks as well? yes, that is the electrical meter. the fact that the mayor has already like taken taken steps because basically the way it has been referred to by social movements over the past year. and actually the law that you decided to like implement so it's not even like you don't probably see me, but no, that's not enough. it's a good for that. because 3 of them of like 3 single, boardman. and we're taking thousands of apartments away from, from residents. yeah. but we see over there all these say me,

you're that he's actually and now serious thing apartments use the same one that will make the airport bigger. right? so we can roll in like air like airport. i have more flags coming in because there's just no more room. yeah m and also for example, who is, is not and we have the flu. she the, i really moody and they're floating in the sea. and so we're just leaving that and i think something that the other cities will have is a l b and b is a roller, and very short term rentals are a problem. but we also have a huge problem with steve randalls lawyer. sure. but the living dollar with jeremy be hosting a sort of them experts and specially digital moment. so the people that moving towards the for like 3 or 4 months, they have a much higher per tracing balance to then the population. the housing market

regulation basically allows them to steve, rent control. so as you rented a linux for the moment, they gonna rent it out for a much higher price. is that the ones that we will cover? okay. you're incentivizing we are margaret. yeah, i'm just raising people real. i heard, but i heard that your city, i hope that you can find a solution that will make the economy sustainable for everyone. i mean, i've been to barcelona many times and i think it's one of the best cities in your best cities on the planet. um and yeah, let's hope that a solution can be found to the benefit of everyone. karma, colorado spokesperson, the barcelona attendance union. we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you. good 9. but the day continues online, you'll find this on ex, formerly known as twitter, and on youtube videos, you can follow me of rent dot tv. and remember whatever happens between now and
