going up the price of fuel the price to suit the cost of living, of course, is a big, a big issue. a few years ago, the yellow vest protests i care in france. it is still a big issue today because so many people cross routes, say they are struggling financially. that, of course, is also an issue that is linked to the war in ukraine that has put more pressure on the cost of living, the worn ukraine. another issue and concern that has been in photos minds the days they go to the ballot box. they are seeing a crisis in europe. they are seeing what is happening and it is, of course, a great worry or for many, but voters have also been looking at issues like immigration, the cove, it pandemic, security health, of course, after the cove it pandemic, some people saying hospitals need more funding. they're also looking education, so many things on people's minds are in this election. but what i have to say is we have some very high rates of abstention. one, the in full people decided that simply not to vote. and i'm just going to take a quick look to see if we are getting a some of those 1st estimated

a results. it looks as if maybe they have come in, let me take a look. we have. so 1st estimations i have a manual macro or the center is present is looking for 2nd term on 28 point one percent. marine the pen 23.3 percent. so those are the 1st results that i have here. i want to bring in then for some reaction to that really appear husky. who's joining me here, veteran analyst and political observer. here in france, pierre 28 point one percent for a manual micro, the incumbent and m marine the pen. the lead of the far right 23.3 percent. your 1st thoughts? well it's still a tough race for the 2nd round. emmanuel, my cause managed to keep a big heads offer money lubin and it's it's quite a good performance for him. remember, he had only 24 percent in the 1st round that 2017 and after 5 years in power,

it manages to increase the share. so that's not too bad. but still in the end, the figures make very look in the threats for the 2nd row. but my cost definitely has managed to keep despite the complicated campaign, he hasn't campaign much. that has been one of the criticism of his own friends actually, that he was very absent partly because of ukraine and he started in the res, very, very late. well, these i estimated results so they may fluctuate during the evening, but coming back to my new microwave, you said a free light campaign. he held his 1st rally just a week ago. he's very much gambled on his stature on the war. and you create really pen, she really deflected the spotlight from our immigration image and she bought folks and very much on the cost of living. yes that's, that's been really the key of her campaign. she had

a challenger on the far right exam, who, who really campaigned on immigration and a very hateful campaign to be honest, that was very intact. now using a lot of people and he managed to get the most radical vision from the far right. and in a way it has to have a softer image and she focused on the cost of living, which is far higher on people's mind, then immigration, or, or islam. and that has really benefited in the end, challenger is, is far behind her. so she is really manage to build the stages off the right wing opponent of venue. and my call a radical right, but still not as radical as an example. managed to show what you did mention, maureen, and when you might say, well, the number 3 in this race according to the,

its results so far solid now saw the leader of the far left. he really has had a surge in recent days, hasn't been appalled, somewhat unexpected. yes, he made an incredible, a surge in the last week. you're almost 5 points, which is a, it is really a quite a performance he, he campaign on the idea that he could bit my lip and, and be the 2nd man on the 2nd rather, not her. and i think that as galvanized many voters for oh, had maybe chosen other candidates on the left or the a green party for example. and who in the end decided to work on the law shall to give the left a chance. the left is really the, the big absent of this campaign at the social is party candidate. i mean it's incredible. busy when you think that the socialist party had every single power until the 2017 and to day and you, they'll go the, the social is candidate is probably going to do 2 or 3 percent maximum or so that's a really a historical disaster. and you mentioned the socialist party,

oftentimes speaking to a woman who is voting at the polling station this morning. he said, there is, she said, you know, before 2017, it was so much easier because we had to main political parties. we have the socialists on the left, we had the conservatives on the right. it was much easier to choose. now we have 12 presidential presidential candidates and his so it's so much harder. those 2 main political parties, they really have just disappeared. i'm the idea dead. and it's a historical event. you know, these 2 parties have dominated french politics for the past 4 decades and emanuel michael arrived in 2017 and he said, i'm not right. i'm not left. and, and he's managed to kill them. they were hoping for a come back and, and, and benefit from. it may be some disappointments with the emmanuel michael. and in the end, they are totally overshadowed by other candidates, other parties. and not so much parties, but movements rather than parties and,

and so we don't know where it's going to take place. but these 2 parties are moribund. so the, there will be, are the spoils of these 2 parties because they still have a mayor's, they have presidents of regions. they are still strong locally, but nationally, they are dead or kaski. thank you very much indeed for your analysis. it is obviously going to be a very interesting 2 weeks ahead. as we see, the 2 front runners go through to a 2nd round on april the 24th. but as i said, these are estimated results may fluctuate during the evening by team around at us about la there. thank you for that. so just to recap the results we've got in 28 point one percent for emanuel micron. 23.3 percent for marine la panda speak to bernard smith, who joins us from the manual cons headquarters once the feeling like they're with well,

i can tell you as soon as the resilience came out to the talk with our normal from the crowd, it was, you know, in the weeks running up to this presidential election, there has been, speculation has been polling my suggestion, it was going to be a very, very tight race. so there was almost a sense of. busy relief with the cheers that went up there. that micron doug has increased a share of the vote on 2017. yes. the pan also won a couple of extra percentage points. were macro new only did one official major campaign rally and not of itself didn't go down particularly well. he's managed to come out ahead. so here, all his supporters are waiting for the president that really say pilots. we understand that the moment on the suggestion he might be here in an hour or so to speak to the crowd said, of course, it goes on to a 2nd round to say repeat of 2017 with marie le, pam, and emanuel micron. a televised debates last time round. that was

a catastrophe for marine a pan. this time around. she's more polished, she says she's more prepared to still has an enormous task ahead of her. if she's to persuade those who voted for other candidates in this election to back her open the prom, it given that he has increased it share of the vote on a lower turner. bernard, as you say, that there was only one campaign event for emanuel mark on his whole attitude has been described as quite muted towards these elections. so what was he campaigning on? what was his platform? why did people do you think go to vote for him? ah, well i think 1st of all, he obviously he's the president and has created this very presidential approach to this campaign. he's sort of stayed above its marine, the pan by contrast to has been out campaign in the country really since she lost

last time around 5 years ago. but in the 5 weeks when i go to today, we're is macro by contrast to pause the ukraine. does not take up a lot of his time. he's been the only european leader really heavily engaged without much success and reset the talking with so bad has taken up a lot of his time. and he, he has a sort of a found the polls chrome and his approach to the brain was seeing the 6th. busy time leader box in the room up to the electron that some about went away and his share predicted share of the vote in the polls went down again. but it seems that given, given the lack of popularity and we are the candidates on this election, you see the catastrophic results of the socialist than micron. looks like has been a bit different from that. remember he, during this campaign he was in a, a socialist government before he laws to republic

a presidential help. okay. so it seems that he's, he's taken votes for from, from there. hope a not, i guess in the next couple weeks to galvanize up to build on that and go for the 2nd term only the french president to be when he's got into the time we will have achieved that. i mean 20 is an incumbent president has gone on to witness that there's been a lot of talk about the cost of living and france. that being a big issue for those is how did a manual con approach that oh, that was where his, his opponents really came into the road, if you like. because the play at the cost of living crisis was the main concern of french voters and manual micron was accused of not really addressing that had all the marine lapel was offering to cut the ac, for example on energy from 20 to 5 percent. but france has out of the plan

demik entered her quite a powerful economic recovery on employment is down. and it seems that people have noticed those things. so wow, that has been a lot of frustration, not just in france, but in europe, the over the rocketing cost of living in france. it has been, i guess, cushion somewhat by this, a lower unemployment rate. a lot of money that the government has invested in economic recovery. try and bring proctor helped motor france out of the swamp, caused by the pun, debit or macro. we're hoping to use those arguments when he goes, campaign mode for the next 2 weeks. but he tries, he takes on marina pan again for the 2nd time about to head in the presidential election. bernard smith fair manual icons

h q. thank you. let's go back to natasha butler, who's in paris for some more analysis of these early results. natasha. yes sir. there is a estimated results 28 point one for emmanuel macro, who's looking for a 2nd term is the present 23.3 for the far right leader marine the pen. well joining me now is john camden. he is an expert on the far right here in front. thank you very much indeed for joining us. jive marine the pen? 23.3 percent. um has she done well, can she win that now? she has an well i was i she can when ah, i very much dog because i suddenly deciding to later on, most of the candidates, well her arc, sierra from logos to a stoplight pan. ah, my, our v a v one will asked your erie, say you have to go in vote on the 2nd wrong against

a bed is be far left. candidate joe knew camino shown if he does not. those voters to go and vote against their bands, ends as a possibility that she might witness hegan la shawna. marshall is done a lot better in this, or we're talking about. he's on estimated results about 20 percent. so as you say, whoever he directs is supporters to go vote for. well, that will certainly bolster them a very much indeed. it's also talk so about the on the far right candidate in this race, air exam or former television pundits and journalist to nazi appeared, seemingly from nowhere for many of us was and certainly a huge did a bone cleanser setting for a haze. a mo will say that would be on the 2nd wrong. about 7.2 percent. when you start from out from scratch and yoga on shore party, on the in november 2021. ah, it is as pretty good. and by the way, you have to, if you want to have a picture of the french are far like you left to add was

a vote for the ban and vote for as a move and hands as the both 30 percent. so that sounds pretty about you about via french for like was a european. so we could potentially see zoom or voters deciding to vote marine the pen in the 2nd round. my estimate his at a roughly 80 percent of the as the most voters will go to la pan. i and vios are suddenly were say home are what we have to see is whether in a future, zach and be some kind are free conciliation between v i v 2 candidates because her right know her, they are 2 parties, was a merge high very much, not and then we at least 80 relations in june. ah, we have to seal and you see they get about over the last 5 years. because what we have seen in france is a real shift to the right. and to the far right in the narrative of not just these far right parties, of course,

the narrative is some of the mainstream candidates. we saw, for example, the conservative candidate valley packers, talking about building walls in europe. as not far right. narrative really become the mainstream in france. no, i do nothing. so what, what's really interesting and worrying his is just hitting the software democratically after he's, i would, i mean very, very much and well, and the mainstream conservative, right? as a, as a slowest since 1958. it's 70 does matter about ve come 7040 strategy as a try to take the ideas from the move. and the last i've been saying for more than 25 years, know that we need a mainstream conservative party, ah, which does not borrow from the extreme right. is a do so as from 8 have been years to say, i mean the voters go to the original one and now today due to the direct well, we've been talking about this evening, one of the, one of the issues,

one of the things that we've been seeing in the selections we did in 2017, as you say, the mainstream, conservative party, nowhere to be seen. neither is the mainstream a left wing party. do you think that those parties will ever come back? or do you think that says, you know, back in 1965 via fashion. his party under another name was at 5 percent. so us a were to lot on i'd use on ideology, try to build a correlation. i had to come and program by 1978 and won a night in 81. so it will be a very long way. but i think that really, we need such a body. i mean, in germany, for example, the soft democrats off strong and may gantries in europe. they are strong even if they are not in bower. so we have to take the same way and rebill to social democratic laughs and the same could be said about v v. conservative party as well . why? joy can we? thank you very much indeed for some of your analysis and expertise. and as i have

been saying this evening, these are just estimated results. they may change as the evening goes on. and also we'll be, look, seeing in the next 2 weeks will be hearing a lot about the fact that a quarter of eligible voters did, did, decided not to go out and vote, will they change their mind in the 2nd round, we'll have to say in 2 weeks back to an at algebra there and paris. thank you for that splendid, more head on the news off, including surging tensions between israelis and palestinians after more violence in the occupied westbank with in sport. another arm pyre is on the receiving end of a verbal volley from this tennis player. ah, pakistan's aston, prime minister, has called supporters to rally nationwide. 7 after he lost no confidence vote at

ah ah. watching all jazz out her mind to all of our top stories this ela, early estimated results and balances. presidential election suggests incumbent to manual calm and formright candidates. marina pan headed for ronald voting. sal posed with con, leading with a projected 28 point, one percent of both the pin on around 23.3 percent. let's get more now on the elections in france. and bring in all those senior political analyst model on the shara moran. just start with your take on, on what these early estimated results tell us for a certain needs been expected. there's no shock there as there was back in 2017 when both micro on look in warren, the holes the last few months have been basically protecting this result. but was

not so predictable as just how far would mary lou pen rise in the bowls not only in terms of getting through the 1st round, but how fast she's going neck to neck with that incumbent president mcgrew in the 2nd round. so while she made a couple of extra points now, she certainly destined to make a, perhaps 10 or more points come. the 2nd round, which puts her really close to my home in on an or you could say that the same movement that we've seen in 2017 at france is moving in 3 different ways. at the same time, on the one hand, the company is moving to the right. we see more horse to the right. at the same time, there's a movement from the center to the middle of the center. and that's we see that in the rise of macro and the continued to rise with muslim. and 3rd, we see

a certain movement towards the sides, the margins. and that's why we say we don't show of that as like a left. and we see a similar and lupin and then they go right. both of them rising. so really 3 movements of the same time, which probably is gonna add acquire a. 1 lot of explanation moving forward for this country. ah, you mentioned that on sean, that who of the other candidates got the most 20 percent of the? how much, how it is he now hauled in terms of how he directs his support, his devotion to run off its importance. we already have, by the way, according to the french press, 2 statements by 2 other candidates. we know that because of the republicans of the center, right, wouldn't be supporting macro and we know the same house and then,

oh not your back fine. our one. we haven't met the problems there with the audio the are now back with us. and i'll use that opportunity to, dost my next question? how could have far rightly to shake off fonts is placed in the global world order? if knowing the pan were to become that the president of france, what would that look like? the thing is that. busy she ran almost exclusively on a domestic agenda. she had some links to president putin and she tried to hide that over the last few weeks. there was this forbidden love between the far right candidate and the russian president. so that was certainly sort of, you know, lost in pens, attempt at focusing at the local agenda. now in the past, she did express a lot of the reservation about the european union even threatened the white one point in the past to leave. but your opinion,

but that's more or less in the past. now, she accepts that for us must be part of the opinion. however, she insists on improving frances standards within, within euro. that's not exactly to the liking of many of our counterparts in the continent, but clearly if, if, and that's a very big year for the time being, she wins. and that would be a major earthquake in europe because not only france weighs heavily on the continent, marin, sorry to cut you off again, where we're going to head out from marina pad, who is addressing her support is that it's missing that excess human thing. when you know who's your, the 1000000 as you've given me that trust i'm, is you a big immediately and with humidity you want to say, well, i have hope officer leslie foster to her that i small do hope that for recovery when it do only concern manifest hamilton, you are because it was very clear from this 1st round for do these, you open it up me. this mission i give you your as you said,

to go against division. but justice, you can go up against the divisions of a money on my card. what will that as you see? so shall it around social justice, you bike out of cut down and what we'll do the day now the next you do to support the nation to support the people? i mean, you're michael or yes. your focus you, i was one was your assemblyman and so i'll be fighting again in my doing my cough to cindy my systems here because you so this what i want to have responsible as debate should it wouldn't go to a proposal for the french people. you do not be good bustle. what live on cats? how we were shock? i said, come by. you. is it at hollywood this i'm dash potties i pain. well, i was, i want to be against a de mother hawkins. and believe a room to be for all people who i proceed to did, she did on, on my dish, about 2 souls exclusive without excluding on to leave anyone to be the president of

she went on say that there have been a lot of the discourse of discord, a lot of social and cultural divisions, but that her, she wants to put france back together in 5 years. ah, and she said she calls on all friends people, whether from the left or the rights to join her at this great national meeting to vote for her and that her they will gain victory together. we'll let spring and natasha butler, who you just saw. there are from paris are natasha. so it depend seems very happy with this result. while marine the pen is 3 to the 2nd round, the final runoff which will take place in 2 weeks. i should have to be happy about that. she might hope to be slightly a high rock in the resolved service. she is trailing behind a manual micro on the less you heard from her support there. they certainly think that she can make it through to the presidency. let me bring in now i'm a care,

husky veteran, a commentator observer, a french life and politics. joining me again, we just had there from a marine la pen a. how do you think that she would be feeling about these results tonight? she might be, as you said, slightly disappointed because she's happy obviously she's in the 2nd round, the dame and that was not obvious because she had that challenger from the far right example. so she won that race between the 2 countries. it's and that says at section for her, but she could have hoped to be slightly higher, which would have made her a stronger challenger to him and you in my car because the next 2 weeks are going to be pretty hard for her because the she will have to face a president who is good at debating and there's going to be this g. v debate on april the 20th or the, the 2 of them. millions and millions of people are going to watch it's. it's usually a big moment of the presidential elections and for us. and remember that 5 years

ago, she lost because of that debate. she was, she failed the tests of for, of the debate because emanuel michael knows his files. he knows his figures. he knows his facts and she appeared not to be at that level. so. ready oh, certainly she's has, she's that training she is rehearsed. shes there, tried everything, but it would be a tough mom and for her it will be a tough man for her as you say, but she's had these 5 years to perhaps polish her actor before that debate. at marina penn, though, in terms of her image, he certainly managed to soften it. in the past few years. she's managed to deflect the spotlight from her rural and immigration messages said if she's going to be president, she would have a referendum on immigration there. she would make it illegal for muslims to where head scarves and public places. she still very much that candidate. yet she's managed to persuade many people. she isn't. yes because she had

a. busy exam or to have even more extreme history positions exam or was it in his program. he had a ministry or to send back a 1000000 people. busy to their original countries if there is one. busy or an exam or made her appear softer or even if she hasn't really changed her bottom line she she has. busy focused on the cost of living, which is very smart because that's the number one or concern for, for french sit, since it's at this moment o prices are increasing fuel. and so she has to be careful about her soft point or her weak point, which is her post association with vladimir putin. she in 2017. she went to moscow, she was so put in the criminal, she had the loan from a russian bank. and until the war started in ukraine, she was very supportive publicly of frederick quickly than that. something that

emanuel michael has been very involved in the ukrainian crisis will use against her to show that she's a threat to friend security nor i. kaski. thank you very much. indeed, for that analysis and in the past few, well, in the past hour, actually we've heard from the conservative candidate, valerie peck, chris and the candidate, the green party annie shadow are both calling on their supporters to vote for a manual micro. so an interesting 2 weeks ahead indeed, i mean, john of la shown is this actually speaking. now we'll leave it there. that us about the thank you. well vote is in mexico are deciding whether the president should stay or go in an unprecedented referendum called by the incumbent sounds re manual lopez abra door. he says the recall vote is vital to confirm his democratic mandate . but opponent say the $80000000.00 exercise is a waste of money. the calling for a boycott. 40 percent a vote is must a part for the results we binding. let's go live now to minute apollo,

who is in mexico city for us, manuel. so why did the president call this referendum with kim that question is very much the center of why this topic is become so polarized . here in mexico because on the one hand you have mexican president on this one will open up another saying that this referendum, this recall, vote on his presidency, is vital to validate his presidency. he's essentially selling this, given that it was one of his campaign, promises to make sure that a law was passed to amend the law in mexico to allow this sort of recall vote to happen half way through a president through a president's term president lopez. but others now sick is now 3 years into his 6 year mandate. so people are out casting their votes. it's a very simple question that they are being asked should president lopez over to,

to be allowed to finish his 6 year mandate or not. now, many critics point to the fact that the president has almost a 60 percent approval rating. sort of raising the question, why even hold a referendum at all. some people are arguing that the mechanism itself was designed so that members of a political opposition or the citizen citizen, really of the country, be the ones who activate this mechanism for a recall election. in this case, it's the government of lopez over the what itself that is calling for, for the mechanism to be activated. so what we're hearing from some political observers, many critics who argue that the government is sort of misusing this recall mechanism to skirt campaign laws. so that the president can sort of rally and galvanized his political base ahead of the next presidential elections to be taking place in 2024. there are others as well with argued that this site, this type of recall vote sort of opens the door to reelection in a country that only allows a city all 6 year term for

a president. there's also the question which you already mentioned a to some extent jim, about voter turnout. there's an expectancy that there may only be about 27 percent voter turnout far less than the 40 percent necessary for the vote to for the vote to be legally binding. but regardless of this, the, the president of mexico and that is manuel lopez over there though it has vowed to respect the outcome of a, of the vote. he's vowed to resign if he loses, regardless of how many people actually turn out to vote today or in mexico city. thank you. ukraine's president vladimir lansky says he spoken to the german chancellor about imposing more sanctions on russia on the ground. and ukraine. officials say they have recovered the bodies of 2 people from a grave in the village of was over, which is just outside the capital. key of ukrainian army spokesman says russian field hospitals are running out of medicine and staff and are overwhelmed by
