but intense election campaign would be enough. it was his comfortable margin of victory over marine le pen gives him a 2nd term of the lease a palace. only 2 presidents before him have managed that. in his victory speech, makram promised that his next 5 year term would be different, said there are new retina. so up this new era will not be a continuity of the 5 previous years. but the collected invention of a revised method for 5 better years. ra country, and are you faced supporters? this is a when that endorse is what they believe is their country's role at the heart of the european union in what you sent them. i am very happy up to the laugh minutes i thought i would have fainted. you never know in life anything can happen. rosita was ready because up to day extensions were significant that emanuel macaroni did a good job in the 1st years of his mandate. and he deserves to lead france again. marine le pen gave the far right the highest share of the vote in a french election. but her part to the presidency was blocked again by

a republican front. in other words, many voters who supported other candidates in the 1st round voted this time to keep le pen out that martini. but that is we, the game is not over since in 3 weeks time we will have the legislative elections. ah, that is, we know, are a distortion of the political trend and create a risk of a manual macro. concentrating all executive and legislative powers. john lew maelin, sean, the far left presidential candidate took just one percent less of the vote than la penn. in the 1st round, he wants his party, france on bowed to win enough support in the legislative elections. the macro is forced to appoint him prime minister. the attitude to all of you, i say, do not resign yourself. on the contrary, go candidly and completely into the action democracy could once again give us the means to change direction. the warren ukraine and the rising cost of living were

maximum prison terms. and she has been found guilty in those cases ranging from possessing on license walkie talkies to breaching corona virus. ruth, and rather sadly, she was sentenced to prison in those cases. for many people watching this case are expecting a guilty verdict as well. now in this particular case, she is accused of having received bribes from a former yang, gone chief minister. his name is pure, maintain, and he was considered a process of suji considered by some to be a possible successor. now, a few months, while a few weeks after the crew of it, he appeared in a video broadcast on military run tv, saying that he had given gold and us dollars to on time to g as bribes. and in october last year he testified in court. now of the time where did the video appeared, many people had denounced it as fake, but then he appeared in court in october. and so he seen as a key witness in this case. and many people are expecting on fancy g to be found

revisionist aims like russia invasion of ukraine, like china, long standing goal to take taiwan if necessary, by military. ready force, i think some of the spending by the united states and its allies is more to defend the international status quo. they're happy with the way the world with the world it is, and they want to defend it. and so in washington right now, really the debate is that washington isn't spending. and if we're entering this new era where we need to engage in essentially to cold horse with both russia and china, we're not spending and we're spending about 3 percent on the cold war. they spend on average of its g p on defense. and so i think you likely will see it in even more significant increase in us ending in the coming years. israeli army says it's attacking targets in lebanon after a rocket with 5 into israel late sunday night. they say the project are landed in
