4:12 pm
a fresh off to the 1st round of the election. he came 1st in the 1st round of this presidential election. he is leading, but he knows that this campaign is far from over. he knows is going to be a very tight race with his main rival. marine the pen, the far right party leader. he's come here to deny it is one of frances poorest towns. there is very high unemployment. there was once thriving industry in cold and steel bought no more. people here very. i have very little optimism for the future. he's been doing a bit of a walk about meeting people, talking to them about some of their concerns that they've been talking about, retirement about that about the problems they have with jobs, with how they're struggling financially. he's been listening very attentively. we've been speaking also to some of the crowd to come out to see him. they say they are curious, but many of them feel that they are not necessarily going to be convinced by him. he has gone to reputation as the president. sometimes nick,
4:13 pm
the priest nicknamed the president of the rich, they feel that he only cares about the wealthy. they're not necessarily convinced that he cares about them. he says that he does and did, he wants to prove to people that the next 5 years he will be looking after many of the issues that are so close to their heart, including things like of course, the cost of living. marina pain also faces a bit of a challenge in that 2nd round. what she been up suits day or marina le pen the far i party became 2nd in that 1st round of the election wasn't actually supposed to be out and about campaigning to day. but no doubt, she has seen the images that are on television screens. erin frauds of emmanuel macro meeting and greeting of voters. and so i hello campaign team said that she will now be traveling to the east of france to meet a farm there, to talk about some of the problems facing a farmers in the agricultural industry. meeting people, no doubt in local towns and villages. it's something that marine the pen does very
4:14 pm
well. she ran a very, a tight election campaign, very much focused on the cost of living this key issue in this french election. it was something that really allowed her to deflect the spotlight from an anti immigration. anti is law message that is put off so many voters in the past. that's not to say that score that so very much part of her agenda, but she's trying to win over voters by focusing on the cost of living that both michael and the pen. what they are trying to do is now try and see if they can convince some of the voters who abstained in the 1st round one and for a lot of them. and also try and convince some of the left wing voters who voted for the far left candidates. you came for 3rd and the race that did they hope to try to win them over and take some votes for them because they're going to need all the votes. they can get if one of the mr. when in the 2nd round or i thanks so much. and tasha bosler now here's what some paris vs have been saying the morning after the election. do you want to die as 2 days models?
4:15 pm
you think you may, you may call it was a relief for me to see that a manual monochrome was making it to the 2nd round because he's the only candidate who's able to do something in our country. and i was extremely concerned by the rise of the far right and far left. so 5 more years of micron. yes. be that extend the wire to a signal the far right in the 2nd round is never good news. and we must always keep in mind that we have to fight it. never let go. at the far, i will not give us our purchasing power back the far right is not the one that will help us all live together. the far right is not the one that will bring the french people together. it is a love that we must absolutely fight. according dorsey basil at da da zimmer, my feeling is that the 1st round is over. we waiting impatiently for the 2nd one. and i hope that the campaign between the 2 rounds will be a bit more constructive and intelligent than the one before. there was no campaign during this 1st round, because of the pandemic and the war in ukraine. there was no constructive debate on anything whatsoever. julia baycove out. org and still had on this out. it's the
4:16 pm
kremlin pushes ahead with its military offensive in ukraine. the world bank says the economic consequences for russia could be devastated. and in sport, the top 2 teams in the english premier league produce again to remember, fall off will be here with the goals from that encounter. now, russia's foreign minister. so gay lab rob has criticized the use foreign policy chief for accusing moscow of intensifying attacks in the eastern new crane goes to jabari, joins us live from moscow. so what did he have to say? well, this was a interview that the russian foreign minister gave to a state tv here in moscow. and he said that the comments that had been made by joseph or else significantly is significantly changed the rules of the game. he
4:17 pm
said that it appears the you foreign policy. she was either a confused when he made the comments or miss spoke a as a result of his visit to ukraine on friday. as joseph or else said that the outcome of this war will be decided on the battlefield. that is something that the russians have really reacted to as saying that it's not his place to say how this a war will end. and that's really the european union is not a military organization. and at the financial aid that they've been providing to ukraine, really illustrates how, as the united states and muster empowers, have managed to influence at the key of governments. and this is just yet another example of that the of russian foreign minister survey lover of saying that his comments are unacceptable and really misguided. and he said that the russian
4:18 pm
foreign ministry will react further in the coming days when they've examined all the documents that are going to be coming out of the various meetings that have been going on in europe as a result of that visit to, to key f a, the russian foreign minister also said that the events that are ongoing in ukraine, a russia so called miss special military operation, is something that the russians have had to do in terms of preserving girls their own security and self interest. and at the interference from western countries in the form of providing military assistance as well as financial aid to the ukrainians is not something the russians can except when the russian president was said to me, the austrian chancellor, today what happened with that? well, according to the kremlin, that meeting has started already and to as the austrian chancellor colony hummer
4:19 pm
has been a meeting with the russian president vladimir putin, in the hopes of trying to get some kind of a cease fire agreement in place and to establish humanitarian corridors. that was the aim of his visit at which was at his request at the austrian chancellor was in care of on saturday. and he travelled to moscow on sunday. and according to the kremlin, has requested this meeting to be held to one on one without any press prior or post . the meeting with latimer put in and the wish to keep the dialogue and discussions private between the 2 men and the kremlin said that the russian president accepted their request. and one of the things they will certainly be talking about is this idea of a neutral military. that is something the austrians said that they have in terms of their own military is neutral. and it's something the russians have said they're interested in, in terms of what a future agreement with ukraine would look like. they would want the ukrainian
4:20 pm
military to be neutral, meaning that they don't have any foreign forces or bases present on ukrainian soil . and so they've already in the past, a cited austria as a possible, an example, and a framework to go from. certainly that will be part of the conversation, but the main issue will be trying to establish some kind of a cease fire and those humanitarian corridors. oh, as those jabari from moscow, the cranes, frozen volumes lensky says this way could be one of the most crucial. yes. has russia refocuses? it's offensive in the east. but he's telling south korea's parliament, those forces are ready. he believes russian soldiers all deeply demoralized at douglas. he lives either more than 3000 rockets, have been fired by russia on ukrainian cities. but the worst thing is how russia's using people to wage this war. the people of the russian federation have to live in
4:21 pm
abject poverty. they can't afford the basics of decent food and education. they've no guarantee of human rights throughout the whole life. the only chance of improvement could happen by chance alone. but coming into the war, 10000 russian troops were shocked by the normality of ukrainian life by ukrainian cities where the peaceful population lived. there were shocked we had decent food. a huge number of the russian occupies, had never seen this in their own life. european union, foreign merced as a meeting in luxembourg to discuss the effectiveness of the ears response to russia's invasion. more sanctions are on the table. we're going to discuss how we can support venue people and also how we can support the dimension of the real goal for just been meeting with general persecutor. mr. ken, we'll provide as much as we can through our mission to, to push
4:22 pm
a pewters balls. plenty of computer and the agency now as existing sanctions bite standard and poors has downgrade the rushes foreign currency payments rating to selective default. that's after moscow paid a dollar denominated debt in roubles. the world bank predicts that russia's gross domestic product, or g d, p will shrink by 11 percent this year. that pales in comparison to the estimated contraction in ukraine is expected to lose about half of its economic output. or for me on this, we're joined now by garris leather. he's a senior economist with capital economics in london. good. have you with us that stopped 1st with russia. explain to our view is what is a selective default? yes. so russia is offered to repay it. so, but it's only said that it will do that and rubles rather than dollars. so it's not
4:23 pm
sticking. the terms of his contract, by default, is probably important to note here that the russian does have the funds if it wants to, to, to repay it's getting full, given the billions of dollars in energy export revenues this getting each month. but he would rather keep that present domestic economy and slicing war. so it's, it's, it's in the effects he's choosing to before, rather than being for money. so does that at all make a difference in terms of its standing. i know it's already been downgraded by standard and poors, but the fact that everyone knows it has the money that make a difference. yeah, well, i think it's largely symbolic at this stage. that brushes be for people who have a huge impact on global markets. given the western banks have been the leveraging from russia since by the invasion of crime in 2014. and from this perspective, as well as the fiscal position is still quite strong. so it's not desperate to,
4:24 pm
to borrow money from international market. so anything i think the launch, the symbolic can become patient's for the club that should be, should be questionable. so it won't impact russia is ability then to raise death in the future. maybe in the future britain, which is where we're looking at it and what's going to the war and stuff like that . it did happen in russia, official records have be talking about not releasing any more government bonds. can the country flourish without that? and when she's pretty much given all the sanctions that been introduced in western countries, this is heading towards basically being like north korea. but with nuclear weapons, it's heading towards in a very isolated state. i think that's the best the future of russia. but even once the war is over, i think western companies, governments can be very slow to relapse sanctions on it, so i don't think it's going to make much difference. ready. let's talk
4:25 pm
a little bit about the ukranian economy. now. the outlaw outlook for the ukranian economy. not good either. is it can that be? can the west help the ukraine to overcome the loss of such a massive chunk of its economic output? yeah, we're certainly in the needs and the countries was, and this message you put, you know, by every measure expect the economy to contract largely in the $0.50 or so for that being forecasted by the world bank seem similar to what you've seen in other countries for example, most recently in syria during the civil war there, i think there's an awful lot that the west can do. once the war comes to an end, it can maybe and free smoke. them rushes for an action towards rebuilding their i'm hopefully some of the refugees that, that the country could reach phone in time and also possible membership the european union as well, which with them which you know, hopefully was this was for over and happy that will happen quite soon the,

lots and lots of trees, willis, the live ammunition that has been fired by the israeli forces. we believe in clashes that take place between the palestinians and the israeli forces. alright, and why a lot of the focus need that has been on jeanine troubles in brewing elsewhere in the occupied west bank. tell us about that. so these really media has been likening gall calling g mean a circle of fire that needs to be put out before it in circles, or it spreads out to other places in the occupied the west bank. and we've been seeing an increase in violence in different cities. 3 palestinians were killed yesterday and 3 different incidents at on the west bank one in hebron, and 2 near bethlehem and palestinians with tell you that even though there is an increase in violence, the israeli occupation is on full swing already. it's been here for decades. we've
4:42 pm
been seeing it manifest itself more illegal is really settlements almost nightly rates. but one point to mention, i've been noticing a lot of frustration and disappointment among palestinians, lately, after the russia ukraine war because they say that they've seen a different part of sympathy. they've seen lots of countries in the world that are showing sympathy for fighting the occupation. we're using arms what they didn't enjoy that. so they were telling me that there is a lot of people sympathizing with ukraine and what's going on there. but we don't see the theme, sympathy extended to us. so there is a lot of frustration when it comes to that. and people want the world to know that they're still living under an israeli military occupation. that is making their lives more difficult and more miserable. and they say that they want an end to this occupation and want to live in a free state of their own. all right,

thanks so much nita abraham, gambia and president adam barrows party is broken. the opposition parties majority in parliament as national people policy. 119 of the 53 parliamentary seats up for grabs in legislative elections. the when takes away the majority held by the opposition united democratic party. however barrows party felt shorts of winning a majority to govern alone. and execute only about assists of eligible sizes, have taken part in a referendum to decide whether the president should step down and arrest by new i lopez all. but i thought went ahead with it even though his position did not appear to be at risk. those who did vote overwhelmingly supported him on the other apollo revolts from mexico city. oh, yes. mexican citizens took to the poles on sunday for a 1st ever national referendum to decide the political fate of president and this
4:44 pm
manuel nope, is overt other. outside this polling station in mexico city, many seemed eager to cast their votes. no less important. i think the most important thing is that this exercise will keep happening in the future independent of this president in the future. this will be an opportunity that citizens didn't have in the past. okay. okay, is i think it's good and positive and makes our society politically active and that's a valuable thing. oh, the referendum on the presidency is a divisive topic in mexico. one that has sparked demonstrations both for and against some critics or calling the referendum unnecessary, given that president lopez over to thought already has a nearly 60 percent approval rating. others have argued the referendum is being manipulated by president lopez, but others party to rally supporters ahead of the next presidential election in 2024 initiative will say so la, greatly in this process, rule set by congress imply. there cannot be a campaign by the president,
4:45 pm
nor can public resources be used for his ramifications. nevertheless, what we have seen are public servants from the present party at every level is basically campaigning for it. some have even argued the vote could open the door to removing term limits in a country where presidents are only allowed to serve a single 6 year mandate outside of the political debate. however, many social scholars have argued the new referendum process is ultimately a good thing for mexican democracy. he is that yielded, as he would have that, but it's, he pursued this and other forms of citizen participation are important and necessary as we confront the crisis of democracies. these mechanisms of direct democracy should serve to empower citizens in the public space. and then the decision making processes. a recent national survey suggest that only as much as 27 percent of eligible voters will participate in the recall referendum for below the 40 percent needed for the results to be binding. president lopez over at all, however,
4:46 pm
has bowed to respect to the outcome of the referendum and resign. if he receives less than 50 percent of votes, regardless of voter turnout. though polls have now closed election. official say it could still take several days for the official count to be announced. manuel did apollo al jazeera mexico city. or our benitez man now is a professor at the national university of mexico. he doesn't believe the referendum served any legitimate purpose. is very strange. this exercise are offered him, credit refrained on because the present don't need it. here he cares a lot of support at 50 cent per cent of the population right now is supporting the president. and many political analysts says that this is a waste of money on the one hand and the supporters of the present if they say that this is and this is necessary to put her ocean as of what for the present to have
4:47 pm
him on one more power to change the constitution, et cetera. and all the analysts are, are worry about what are the real intentions of the present nor the nose because she, the only in real terms this in a referendum. but she organized that and prefer all day the a little early citizens to do that. a murder charges to be dropped against a woman in the u. s. accused of carrying alpha self induced abortion texas. impose some of the u. s. is toughest anti abortion laws. last year, the procedure is banned beyond the 6 weeks of pregnancy, private citizens can sue doctors or anyone who procures an abortion beyond that period. the pregnant women themselves cannot be prosecuted. chris adelson is an assistant professor of government at the american university school of public affairs. he told us the woman in this case should never been charged. i think
4:48 pm
what's more significant than the decision is the fact that this one was arrested that she was held for 2 days. she was only release initially because an organization paid bill for her. there is no law in texas. that actually makes it a crime for women to terminate or pregnancy. the law you mentioned provides for civil penalties. i think they sent a very shilling message to women in texas in another state who may soon be in a similar situation not having access to legal worship. i'm assuming that the united states supreme court will either completely overrule roe v wade, which has already actually been eroded in part of it was already taken when 190200 is called printed versus casey, or that the court will put additional holes in review with it's not clear that will happen, but i think it's a safe bet that will happen if it does happen. i think many americans are not prepared for what that will mean for those of us who grew up united states after review, when i was born in 1971, we heard stories about women before 973 ros decided who would get worse. and so
4:49 pm
come back out of worship from people who are not doctors what and they often got very ill or even died from this. the texas was already made it illegal, not a crime, but illegal for women to get abortions. after about 6 weeks, one of the things i've been wondering about is what are women in texas doing? and we seem to be getting some information. it's not that they're necessarily not getting abortions anymore. they just maybe get abortions that are not safe. and that may be a story that becomes more widespread, united states depending what the supreme court does or coming up in sports. we'll hear from the gulf o produced us, stalling final round of the masters. here is that story with with
