a 2nd term. again though, you'll have to beat the far right at noon. okay, but thank you so. so tony, the ellipse, don't you to our fellow citizens lit, abstained or voted for the extreme. don't either because they are angry against inequalities or to the ecological chaos zone, or insecurity, or the difficulty of living in a dignity. even working hearted. idle convinced you in 2 days to come. his opponent and the 2nd round of voting will again be marine le pen leader of the national rally. its manifesto includes a promise to make it illegal for muslim women to wear had scarves in public places, were converts. they put your vote depends all over the french territory on the legitimate preponderance of the french culture and language, the customs of our regions, and the french way of life on republican laws and values. he did not know him, he can le pen might pick up votes from supporters of air exam or another extreme right candidates, the former t v pundit. as asked his supporters to backer. in the 2nd round,

the far less john lute melanie sean had hoped that this time he might make it to the run off. but again, he didn't quite get enough votes. francis traditional right and left wing parties continue to hemorrhage, support. the conservative, the republicans party and the valerie pay, chris saw their share of the vote collapsed a single digits. the socialist and an hidalgo had been all but wiped out their share of the vote, barely registered the, the beneficiary of those former conservative and socialists votes seems again to be micron. we ought to be asked the french brutus to support or to the answer all your friends friends for the next turn of the election in 2 weeks repugnant. i believe we have a good record and we have walked out. plan with the vision for the future. for the young, our country and for the workers often be to the left, micron has promised higher pensions and more staff in health care for the right. thousands more police officers and judges. and

a rise in the retirement age from 62 to 65. going into the 2nd round monro, my phone could again benefit from the same republican front that help you easily beat marino pan. back in 2017. that is most of the losing candidates tonight, but urged their supporters not to let in extreme right. it will be difficult. marie le pen to overcome utmost bother bernard smith. al jazeera paris has got to natasha butler live fresh in paris and we've been sang natasha. it does feel like repeats have 2017 with 2 very different candidates. but the choice is clear for french vouchers is marine la pen in for a better chance this time. well, i think we're in the pen, the fall right party leader. certainly think she's in with a good child. she wants to be francis 1st fall right president. that is her goal, that is her aim and she hopes that the voters will put her in the lease

a palace in 2 weeks time. whether or not they will of course, is another matter. indeed, she has had some packing from another far right party candidate, eric moore, who was running in this presidential race, who of course, is trailing far behind. he is often supported to rally around her. however, many other candidates who didn't make it through the 2nd round have called on their supporters to block the far right, the blog. marine the parent. that is something of a tradition here in fraud. so perhaps we'll see many of those supporters either abstaining or voting for him. i know micro that is a real challenge for marine the pen. no doubt though, she will be campaigning very hard. indeed, she ran a tight campaign by all accounts very much focusing on the cost of living that number one issue for so many voters in faults, an issue that really helped deflect the spotlight away from her and the migration anti islam agenda. and my, the really helped all say to why didn't her repeal to attract more photos that will

put off by some of her views and some of her immigration platform. the problem is from or in the pen. one challenge she's really going to have to face is the debate that happens between these 2 routes. a tradition aaron falls between the 2 top candidates, marina penn in 2017. when she went ahead to head with a manual micro performed very poorly. indeed, in that debate, united by her room admission, it was something of a catastrophe. she's had 5 years though to really polish her act, to try and do much better than she did back then. of course, you can imagine she spent a lot of time thinking of her strategy, thinking of what she's going to say in that debate, because that is something that a manual micro is generally a very good. all the facts and figures to hand and performs very well under pressure in those sort of settings. so be interesting to see that debate on april 20th. and then of course, in april 24th, the 2 candidates really had to head in the final round here. thank you very much,

natasha about covering this story from paris. and joining me now is james shields that professor french politics, university of white joins us live by skype. how important is that debate going to be? as natasha was saying, that con is put in a very good performance to last time, obviously. but how, what will she be looking to do in this debate? how be, how she be trying to portray herself? well, she is looking to be convincing. that's the 1st thing i think the parent know will continue to focus on economic and social issues and to prioritize cost of living. because there, she has a distinct advantage. it seems over macro, what she will need to return also to her signature or immigration of security of islam. if she's to attract the vote was a very because moore,

she will continue to project. i'm sure this so really reassuring message close to the people are close to everyday concerns. and she will seek to contrast that with microns distant aloofness of what you were looking to do in the to wrote it in the space between the 2 rooms. and, and this to be, she'll be looking to ton, the runners into an anti micro referendum. the difference is that the mood is no longer there to be a lightning rod, to deflect attention a we for the war extremist aspects of lupin's program. and to make her seem. ready more moderate by comparison, and she will have to lean more on those radical aspects if she's to address moves. electorate, micro, no doubt, will focus precisely on those extremist aspects. as a way of stressing the dean just for france, you,

on the way to west. if le pen were to be elected. now that's interesting because i suppose mat macklin will try to remind voters about the divisive xenophobic. you're a skeptic. anti immigrant at policies are that we own a marine. the pan has subscribed to for many years. but because of that, will she tried to focus on the, the cost of inc, living in the economy even more. and of course, the criticism there is that there is an in coherence to have policies. how is she gonna have to sort of game plan not to, to counter mack on trying to expose that incoherence. yes, you put your finger on her big problem. she needs to reach both ways. she needs to reach out to that the. ready hardline voters of what she needs to reach across actually to the left, to the socio economically susceptible voters of john middle micro starts

out at the clear favorite yet, but he's an embattled incumbent and look, pen can put pressure on insisting on the dangers of electing. but in the pen will not be enough for michael. you will have to both defend his record over the past 5 years and set a clear vision of where he wishes to take france in the next 5. in the past, when mainstream candidates based a loop and in the presidential run off and that was she, i can 2002 macro and 2017. other components of the electric have gather drone to cause the far right. that would be the case to the same extent. something that did not exist in 2017, but will be a factor now, is the law thing. micron inspires in a large part of the french voting public. so this time there will be an anyone but micro vote just as there will be again for some on anyone, but look,

pen vote. the 2nd round will depend on who is more like what it will also depend on who is this like? thank you so much. i appreciate that professor jane, she'll they're sharing your thoughts on the story with us. thank you. ah, thousands of him on con, supporters of rallied in islam of bodied day off to parliament, removed him as prime minister with a vote of no confidence opposition party secured a 174 votes. in the 342 c, parliament come, all hider has been following the protests and islam apart. the ouster prime minister ron han had made an appeal to a nation to come out and read a cross log on and died. families have turned out, as you can see,

minds and booby traps everywhere. they work with the military to stay as safe as they can. we asking for the military guys and promotional, what is i found the 2 bombs, but it was florida on the garden. elizabeth did become you. the task ahead is daunting. even with volunteers in the civil administration. it'll take years to get this town back to anything resembling what it was. facilities like the local library and community center will be the last to be rebuilt. after all, without homes for people to live in. they can be no community that they was painted on that gauged by the russians. they've taken over this entire area. you can just see over there the empty ammunition cases, they used as defensive positions, but the ukrainians have now been through this area. they've searched house the house, see that yellow dot over there, that yellow dot symbolizes the fact that this house has been cleared of mines. and

any kind of booby traps and the residents that are back here. and what they're doing is they're rebuilding slowly. but surely. soldiers is still clearing houses, where they look in the cellar methodically, making sure there's nothing that might explode. the woman who lives her watches nervously satisfied is clear, the soldier's li run with us. it's this type of operation that will allow those who still have some hope to return this ukrainian tank has become a makeshift memorial to those who died, defending this place. the residence of la flowers, flowers that have wilted and died. but as the long process to clean up begins when they return,

a situation developing around jeanine refugee camp in the occupied west bank. and that immediate situation really began on thursday evening when a gum, and that was from that camp and went to central television and shot various people killing 3 of them. now, after that, israeli security forces have asked his father the father of that gun man at rod, her sim, is the name of the gun man. to turn himself into them. they said they want to question him. now he's refused to do that. he told out his era that he's morning, his son is not going to go with them. and if they want him, they can come and get him. now on sunday evening, at the his family members said that in the last of the calls that he'd receive 2 to ask him to hand himself in israeli security officials said that they would come

into janine at refugee camp on of raid. if he didn't do that now, why is that important? because jeanine refugee camp has a lot of gun then, and it has a lot of weapons. so this really is a primer for a confrontation and the, the mos in the refugee camp have been a announcing, the people need to be vigilant. right? now the secretary general of is, lamar g had, has been saying, has been putting his fighters on high alert. so this is a very tense situation and both is re lease and palestinians. remember 20 years ago, a raid that lasted for days on jeanine refugee camp that left more than 20 israeli soldiers dead and more than 50 palestinians dead. so the situation is always already really tense here, and there are fears that arrayed

a large scale raid on jeanine refugee camp could just open pandora's box. here now is australia. the prime minister is called for an election on the 21st of may, seeking a 4th time in office. it's got martians coalition trials, the st. left opposition party in the poles after 3 years of disasters. and the pandemic brianca group to reports. ah, the date is set, and a 6 week campaign for australia's federal elections officially begins this fire. this pandemic. there is now war prime minister scott morrison seeking re election. his conservative coalition has held power since 2013. but morrison is the 1st as trillion prime minister to serve a full town in more than a decade. it's a choice between a strong future and an uncertain one. it's a choice between our government, you know, and a liberal position that you don't our government is not perfect. we've

never climb to be, but we are up from his challenger. the said to left, leave a party leader, antony albany. thee, he hath the message of optimism growing up with a single mom. i learned the value of a dollar and steeped heavily. it is working cost roots, more jobs, better health services, and cheaper child care. i will lay with integrity and i will train you with respect . i will restore fight in our political system by any in the waste and rots and establishing a strong national anti corruption commission. ivan easiest campaign will focus on trust in the government, or lack of it. the past 3 years have been dominated by catastrophic bush wires, devastating floods, and some of the world's toughest coven 19 rules. the answer is lives in scott morrison's personal appeal and standing a level of trust in the annual barometer, a pole. oh, who's the countries most and least,

russell politicians last month. so morrison was right on the list. trusted politician in the country and the opposition leader anthony of an easy was right and the 2nd most trusted while morrison would bank on strong economy. the government budget is nearly one trillion dollars in debt. morrison's refusal to commit to facing out fossil fuels has also galvanized queen activists and independent candidates who can hurt as coalition. and then their worsting ties. but china, which the government has been accused to weapon ising. but scott morrison is known for pulling off political successes before despite significant odds. bianca kupta says here, although it is in mexico again to decide whether the president should stay or go unprecedented. raf random called by under his money lopez abra door, says the recall though is vital to confirm his democratic mandate. but opponent say the $18000000.00 exercise is

a waste of money. my arapahoe has been speaking to voters in mexico city. we're outside of a polling center in mexico city, where mexican citizens have been participating in a very special and unprecedented recall referendum on the presidency. we're gonna sort of peer in very quickly into this polling center. people been kind of trickling in and out of throughout the course of the day, the question that mexican citizens are being asked is very simple. it's, it's a binary question, and it's should president lopez over to a lot of mexico be allowed to continue to serve in his 6 year mandate or not. now, mexican president lopez over to, i thought has said that this referendum vote is vital to validate his presidency. he says that it's designed to empower citizens and, and, and, and empower people who are otherwise disenfranchise of the vote in opportunity to sort of hold their presidents accountable. now this has also been one of the most polarizing political topics in recent weeks,

sparking protests for and against many critics saying that the president already has an almost 60 percent approval rating, raising the question why even hold a referendum at all. others saying that this could potentially open the door to end term limits in a country that only allows a single 6 year mandate for a president. now there's also the question of voter turnout. there is an expectation that only as much as 27 percent of eligible voters will be participating in this recall referendum. far less than the 40 percent needed for the results to be binding. nevertheless, president lopez over to the old says that regardless of voter turnout, he will respect the vote and resign if he loses. ah, i made story this our emanuel mat cron a sat for
