ah, ah french president, ammonia my call tell support is nothing is decided ahead of the 2nd round at elections shut down with populace randall marine la pen. ah, i money inside this is out there. a lie from dough will. so coming up, iran called support is demand, he be reinstated. as pox dawns, parliament can pass to elect a replacement prime minister ukraine's president wounds of what could be the most crucial weak. yet for his forces battling a renewed russian offensive in the east and oh, able inside going and seen yelling,

and chanting at the officials who? enforcing a strict coven, 19 oak down. ah, french president, emanuel mackerel says the next 2 weeks will be decisive for his country as he pass for a run off against fall. rhein, challenger marine le pen is a repeat of b 2017 election. which macro one easily pulling suggest a much tie to rice this time. and a smith reports from pass. emanuel micron only did warm campaign rally, but the man who bronze himself a centrist did enough to have a chance of being the 1st incumbent french president in 20 years to win a 2nd term. again though, you'll have to beat the fall right through. typically, a you, sir, so tony, the alleged assumed to our fellow citizens that abstained or voted for the extreme

of either because they are angry against inequalities or to the ecological chaos or insecurity colors or the difficulty of living in dignity. even working hard. i will convince you in the days to kind do his opponent in the 2nd round of voting will again be maureen le pen leader of the national riley. it's manifesto includes a promise to make it illegal for muslim women to wear had scarves in public places . they were covered the pony 1st. your, 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 if he can. le pen might pick up votes from supporters of air exam or another extreme right candidates, the former tv pond. it has asked his supporters to packer in the 2nd round. the far less john luke melon shown, 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 the am. hidalgo had been all but wiped out their share of the vote. barely registered the beneficiary of those former conservative and socialist votes seems again to be micron. we ought to be asked. ringback refrigerators to support the, to the as her own european friends. for the next turn of the election in 2 weeks. i shall, i believe we have a good record and we have a white cap plan with the vision to the future for the young, our country and for the workers often 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. and a smith has now lie for us and power has been an icon one, a convincing 1st round victory. but opinion pulse as you were outlining suggest to

run off could be much closer. what can we expect in the next few days? i think we can expect much more intensive campaigning from emanuel macaroni. i only had one raleigh a few days before voting on sunday. now for the next couple of weeks, he's going to be criss crossing the country, visiting cities and towns all over france. he's heading to the north of the country today. marine la pan, we can expect something very similar from her. she was already campaigning intensely intensely. she says that he's going to be her last election campaign. we can expect her and her party to really push it. and all these papers this morning in paris are ready for it. lay the whole, the jewel, a similar theme, macro pan, new vote. new go do else as a figaro. now it's time to be really sketch as the left leaning figaro, other newspapers with similar sorts of headlines. i think what we saw on sunday is

that we know there are a lot of undecided voters in the run up to the election. and on the day of voting, they went 3 ways either for micron or for the fall, right. or for the far left macro and picked up slightly more votes than he did in 2017 because he draw support from the center left from the center, right. but what that means is leaves support for the extremes on the margins as well. the fall, right, got 33 percent of the vote combined with the other candidates standing for presidency on the far left got about 50 percent men on sean and 2 trotskyites. so the support growing for those 2 extremes as well. what micro wants to do in the next couple of weeks is harness more of those supporters to make sure that the far right on the marina pan does not get the presidential office. thank you for that. bernard smith, 1st live in paris,

focused on now where parliament is meeting in the coming hours to choose the new prime minister, who will replace him. ron khan, who was ousted over the weekend. the secure, he's high off the 10s of thousands of people across the country on said cohen's schools of protest against his removal from office scientist supported posing will he call us back regime change? this is the 1st time in packet stones. people are worried up to the sting of the government. people are concerned about why their leader has been stated, why he has been pushed behind. the last decision will be of the people in a democratic system. the final voice will be the voice of the people and the voice of the people in iran con. let's get a reminder of how we reach this point. the original no confidence motion against then prime minister, wrong con, was brought to parliament by the opposition back on march 28th week later.

parliament's deputy speaker, who is an ally of colon blocked the motion, claiming it was influenced by for a nice and the president on iran columns. recommendation dissolve the assembly, setting the stage for elections. but last thursday pockets dawns highest court rule that the disillusion was unconstitutional. and calm, then last and no confidence votes on saturday. some a been debate is live for us in islamabad. talk us through what happens today with some well, in the next few hours, pakistan is all set to elect. it's 23rd prime minister after eminent hon was voted out. the 1st prime minister to have been voted out of the assembly are all either on the national assembly where 2 candidates are, are going to buy for this top job. a former foreign minister sharman with gracie from mann cons party. and chubb, i sharif a candidate of the joint opposition who is most likely to win the votes because

they had the numbers to oust imran con and to discuss that we discussed this. we have with us or the former governor austin province. mr. mohammed's barrow mer, thank you very much for being with us. enron han was able to bring out thousands of people across pakistan. it's a narrative that an alignment of corrupt politicians, the judiciary, the military is all out to get him. and he's going to come back to power. how do you come to that? i think this, the most important point is licked or missing in this link. there's no one else has sponsored for the downfall of him. brown can put him round on himself. you've brought it on himself. i mean, no. you know, if he heard went up or of stronger cabinet, which was her, which included competent people are responsible to deliver on the economic for. and that's the keyed most important objective. and he totally missed that. and this, in spite of the fact that he was the 1st prime minister, who got the kind of support from all stakeholders,

including the military and unprecedented support of the judiciary, the media. he was the darling of the media when he came in part. so all the major stakeholders were all behind him and everyone also felt and to her as to some sense that i think her give up sibling leadership the opportunity or to performed rather than being disturbed unnecessarily. and he got that support and he failed miserably . so he brought it on himself. now how confident are you? the troubleshooting is going to win the vote. he also has been allegations of corruption, money laundering against him. so what does that say about it that he's he, the best candidate out of all the opposition leaders can might, by far the best candidate i am in 1st job. he has sir, the kind of experience the inside, the political, a wisdom. he has performed a, at a very big stage as the chief minister of the largest province of bucklin for tangle, 10 long years. and no one including girls are the operator and sim ron cons. party

supporters would doubt his ability to deliver and he has done it so we have done it at the federal level. we have done it at the the punjab government level. his team obviously been include many of the style roots were part of the deem in 2013 to 2018. they have the experience, the quality and everything. so i think he is, sir, by far the best candidate by far the, the point about herb his, the allegations, obviously that's her point that the government's job is to focus sir on it's primed responsibility of governance, economic delivery, foreign policy and others. as well as accountability is concerned, whichever authority wants to conduct any bird legitimate investigation. i mean, it should, i should leave has been going to lead for the last for the a very quickly. now back sun is in a precarious situation when it comes to economy. when it comes to the status of political disarray at 30 seconds, what are you going to do and how can you take my son out of it? i'm in the good news is,

1st of the creating confidence among the investors and the potential investors and the admin stakeholders already this morning. the stock is up $1440.00 points which is unprecedented. the dollar has come down since that decision of and last thursday, or the supreme court from $192.00 or on $192.00. that's the kind of confidence that be a melanie always grades whenever it comes in part. so that is the starting point. then obviously, as you take the key economic decisions on how to go about and be over very good plan that the team as prepared. so awfully mrs ware. thank you very much for being with us, sir. that's the former governor of sins province. sir mohammed zubair speaking to us, sir, he's about to go into the parliament as voting is all set to begin it. the focus now seems to be from the positions to go to words delivery and move away from the politics of allegations which the acute him run. honda, orchestrating in the last 3 and a half years, it's going to be an interesting day to watts. thank you for that or some,

a binge of aide. that person islamabad. a palestinian teenagers shot during israeli raids on sunday has died from his injuries. soldiers have been carrying out raids in the occupied westbank town of janine where a refugee camp is located and been looking for relatives of a palestinian man who shot and killed 3 israelis in television on thursday. at least for palestinians have now died in the israeli operations that have followed leading to protests. john holman, is in the occupied east jerusalem. he has mon, what's happening in jeanine. there's been 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 at went to central television and shot various people killing 3 of them. now, after that is really security forces have asked his father the father of that gun

islamic jihad 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 rate 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 lot scale right on jeanine refugee camp. could just open pandora's box here, coming up in the knees ahead. ukrainian volunteers cleanup after the russian traits . but it's a task that comes with its own dangerous opponents. the keys, mexico's president of using a referendum to father his own political ambitions. ah,

further eastwards. icloud and rain comes down across the black sea sleep. so there still across a turkish mounties, but bright disguise do come back in behind. notice for spain and portugal, tiny decidedly unsettle for the middle part of the week. that wet weather will gradually make his way into the north west of africa. but for much of north africa, fine and dry sums it up over the next few days. for west africa. cloud and rain becoming more prevalent. ah. it's the largest war in europe since world war 2. this president put in reclaiming what belong to russia? was natal coming to growth and what does the end game look like? an in depth look at the war in ukraine, hooton's, blonde, or the west neglect with ukraine. the c to rule

on it just either lou. ah, welcome back. you're watching out 0 mind if our top story is the south. french president, ammonia mackerel says next 2 weeks will be decisive for his country as he prepares for run off against the far right challenge of marine the pen. most opinion polls suggests he will win with a very tight budget. thousands of support is a pop songs, former prime minister miran cohen have been protesting against his removal from office automated meeting in the coming hours to choose his replacement. a palestinian teenagers shot during is ready rates in janine and the occupied

westbank has died from his injuries. israeli troops were looking for relatives of a palestinian man who shouted, kill 3 israelis in televi on the 1st day to ukraine. now whose president has warned again about russia's refocused offensive in the east. laudermill zalinski says this week could be one of the most crucial yet since the war began. but he added the his troops already or is got married. the russian troops were moved to even larger operations in the east of our state. they can use even more missiles against us, even more aerial bombs. but we're preparing for all their actions will respond. will be even more active in defending ukraine with weapons as gazer emron khan, who joins us live from the cap, tow cave emron, bring us up to date with a situation on the ground. there's been more shelling overnight,

dozen and east of the country. that's absolutely right. president, lot of his lens, his words, i've got a lot of people concerned here in that ukraine. they all wondering whether they renewed offensive by the russians and they've been threatening this since they withdrew from areas around keith and jonah eve on the 31st of march. they always said that that was going to be a re focus on the east and on the dumbass region. in particular, the towns of mario full and a car to keep. now we are hearing that that has been renewed shilling in those areas, plus towns on the outskirts of that area. also we are hearing our but we can't confirm this, that has been some a ship movement on the coast of a desa. if this is the new, renewed offensive light blood m as lens, he is suggesting that that is going to be of consent is coming fast sooner. perhaps a, than a lot of military analysts was suggesting people was that people were suggesting that actually the russians needed a little bit more time to regroup,

to resupply and to re strategize what they were going to do. but the russians have, i been absolutely clear. they left keith alone, they said because that the decision makers were hair and they wanted to keep the negotiations open. but they were gonna re focus on the isa, perhaps thus happening. but like i say those areas that the russians have actually left, they left around march 30th, march. 31st. life is slowly coming back to those areas. not reach, not reconstruction by any stretch of the imagination. that is still a very long way off. but now what we're seeing, not just in the town i visited mockery, which we'll see in just a moment. but across those empty areas in ukraine that will formerly occupy borrow since hoses volunteers are actually going in to help the civil administration to clean up those areas. out, let's take a closer look. just 10 days ago, the ukranian army in russian forces will pitch battles in the streets of mackarath

. now, an army of volunteers is fighting a different one to clean up the streets, their weapons, all fashion rooms and physical strength. these people are members of a bodybuilding club and keep them come to help alongside their friends. they sweep into the soup market every time we are trying to clean up the mess that the russians left behind. we are trying to bring normality to our country green. but it's dangerous work. minds and booby traps are everywhere. they work with the military to stay as safe as they can. we are asking for the military guys and promotional, what is i found due to bombs. but it was florida on the garden. elizabeth, good because i mean 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.
