9:02 pm
governing body, restricting transgender athletes from participating in elite women's competitions. all the details later, this news our ah welcome to the program. it's 18 g m t, and polls have just closed in the 2nd round of parliamentary elections in france. the 1st round showed president emanuel microns centrist coalition, just ahead in a tight race with the newly formed left wing alliance, led by john look. mellon schon for more on this story. let's bring in natasha butler, who's live for us in paris. natasha had you received those projected results? it's all we're here to police station and she could probably see people behind me. they've just come here cuz they're actually counting ballads, but it does seem as if we do have some 1st our projected results for you. and it
9:03 pm
seems as if the president emmanuel mcgraw's centrist alliance, has won the most seats in the parliament, but has failed to secure a majority. that, of course, would be very disappointing to the president and his party. and it looks as if the new left on the lines of the far left leader. oh surely. banashali that includes socialist greens and communists has come in 2nd place if you like. are winning the 2nd most seats are in parliament, but these are projected results. they are estimates, as i say, i'd like to bring in now appear husky, a veteran political observe and commentator to talk through some of these results. as i said here they are just coming in. we don't have exact figures. what we do know though, is that president mike ross, interest delights, looks as if they've won most seeds, but they have failed to secure a majority. it's a huge setback for emmanuel by calling because he was hoping that having won the presidential election only 2 months ago, he would have almost automatically
9:04 pm
a majority in the new assembly. and there was this alliance from the different left wing parties and the grins that created a momentum and, and changed the, the game, the political game are leading to this election a several top ministers in mr. michael, sir. a government appear to have lost their seats, and the rule here is that if you lose your seat, you're out of the government. so that could of lot of record repercussions. and the most important thing is that mr. michael will needs to have the support of other parties to be able to have a budget to have his own loza voted, and the only part is, seems to be able to count on is the traditional ride, the republicans who failed misery in the presidential election. but have done fairly well enough, at least to heather, a group of several dozen m p 's will be crucial or 2 for mr. michael,
9:05 pm
but obviously there will be asking for a heavy price or for the support. so what we're looking at is, is effectively macro will have to his party will have to create a line, says, as you say, with the conservatives of the traditional right in order to try and govern smoothly and, and if he doesn't, what might we be facing over the next 5 years, well we 1st, we're going to have instability and the, and the fragile or political situation. because the contrary to germany and then germany, we have 3 parties in government and alliance of 3 parties. this is part of the political culture in germany. here we are used to a more stable majority based government and, and so we are in unknown territory for mr. mccall. what we can look at is, 1st of all, are heavily negotiated, pass for her ruling this country. and secondly, probably anticipated elections or in one or 2 years if, if it's,
9:06 pm
if you fails to have a stable majority to support him. so that is for mr. michael, that's the opposite of what he was hoping for to have a mandate for 5 years, a strong majority and be in a way, are allowed to govern the way he wants. oh, what about this new left doing alliance? it was created just after the presidential election by charlotte guanasha. the far left leader came 3rd effectively in the present selection. that really seems to capture some photos imagination. yes, he has created this sir. idea that the left is back, which it has disappeared from the french political spectrum for a long time now and met and military has managed to resist take this are, these are particularly with the younger people who and fortunately for haven't voted or haven't turned out. so much in the, in the polls. but we sha'n't underestimate the results of the far right. nothing lupins party or a sample of our national has done pretty well to. so we're going to have an,
9:07 pm
a parliament in which the governing party doesn't have an absolute majority. and we will have 2 very strong opposition groups one on the left and one on the far right . so it's going to be too many people are, are i've been waiting for this moment because parliamentary life was absent from recent years in france because the, my emmanuel michael, had a huge majority in the previous assembly. you had no problem finding your majority to, to have his bills accepted. so he's going to have to go back and discuss politics, which he was not so used to in the past few years. and indeed, we've been speaking to a few people, of course, across a placeholder spectrum this week, and one a left wing. and a candidate actually said to me that they were hoping that this is the return of political debates in france. as you say, something that has been missing. what about the concern? so the electorate, people worried about
9:08 pm
a range of issues. what do you think people really concerned by when they to go to the next day. but a lot of things to deal with the impact of the ukraine war, which is spending power inflation, the prices are going up. and that's really what has been affecting most people in the past few weeks. and therefore, mr. middle shows a program and discourse about the fighting social inequalities by decreasing the lower salaries by taxing the rich have a stroke record, obviously, or with part of the electorate. because that's, that's the mood not only in frost, but all over europe, and maybe all over the world at the moment. and just fine in terms of turn out, we see low for to turn out in this round in the last rabbits, the trend we've seen in recent years. what is bearing on people just i'm interested in politics and fonts. i think people are disillusioned with the political game or they go to vote for the president because they think it's the president who runs
9:09 pm
the show and has most power in for us, which is true. but certainly we realised that the return of parliamentary life might create a new eulley, a great interest in the political life. but certainly this to turn out is a huge disappointment. so i kaski. thank you very much indeed that analysis as we get those results, as we said, are estimations only projections at this stage. they will continue to trickle in throughout the evening here. but it present micro centrist alliance does not have a majority in the parliament, even though the alliance is the biggest party in inner, in the national assembly. back to you. thank you very much. natasha butler with all those details live for us in paris. from voters in france to voters in columbia, which shad choosing between a left, his former gorilla fighter and a millionaire who calls himself the king of tick tock. it's seen as the most fiercely contested presidential run off in recent membrane. gustavo petro is
9:10 pm
a former mayor of the capital budget and will be the country's 1st left when president, if he wins, he's up against business men. rodolfo hernandez, a political outsider who's been compared to former us president donald trump. he's focused on appealing to voters through their phones, mostly using tick tock for communication alexandro ramp vfc is standing by in the book car among the campaign headquarters of hernandez. but 1st, let's bring into razor boat, who's in the capital buckets at teresa. you'll following the picture camp will we get over the line and become the 1st left us later for columbia. while i'm here at the polling station where people have been coming steadily to cast their vote, there's about 3 hours left until the post close. so we've been talking to lots of people here and everyone is wondering exactly that, whether long is ready to have a left wing precedent. this is the 3rd presidential bid for who thought will pay
9:11 pm
for it, or he was left when gorilla in his you. he had been, become an economy, i season politician, a senate or the euro, or what that he's the man that is promising to carry out profound reform in this country has promising to rethink oil and gas location in columbia. he says that for example, cracking will be banned. he's also asking to rethink and hoping to rethink the so called war on drugs. he's also promised to fight inequality. and when you talk to many of the people that have come here, those who are vote him for him, say that he's the man to carry out those reforms. but then you talk to other people, those who say that they cannot forget who fast that they cannot forget that he was part of a left wing group that he was involved in fighting against the columbian states. others here are terrified that columbia could become the next of venezuela because many people in columbia have seen what has happened in neighboring venezuela with millions of people really being
9:12 pm
a massive economic crisis as they are. so the big question is that people, if he becomes columbia next these precedent, this, he would be, this would be the 1st time the left makes it because those who tried in the past were killed. so the fact that he has made it this far is a historic for this country. there's also some concerns about the possibility of voter irregularity. petro had been very active on social media until now. he's been asking the electoral council that there's been some ballard votes that had been distributed that they were marked in areas where he, the majority of the people vote for him. he has also said that they had not been allowed to revise the software being used to count the boat. so this is a major concern because of something that happened during the legislative elections earlier this year. so that's a concern and africans. so it's mostly because if there is a questioning of this whole process, this could end in political violence, this chris flores, people on to the streets, to pro, to so the government is saying that transparency is guaranteed that there are
9:13 pm
several international observer missions distributed across the country at their witnesses in each one of his tables where i am from both political parties who are watching the whole process. so suddenly we're gonna have to watch out and see what happens. but 3 hours left of this election process. and then the bulletin post, the counting process begins. okay, and that will cause actually when that happens. thank you very much. to raise a bow love for us in budget. so let's head to alexander alexandro ramp yeti. now he's outside a polling station. in book a reminder, alexandra hernandez has had a fascinating campaign strategy. tell us more about that. no doubt. yes. we're here to pulling station and book ira manga home down the road for a man this. and a lot of people here are very excited at the idea that the next president of columbia could be one of their own. he was born and raised here he is
9:14 pm
a former mayor of this, the city, both it early on sunday and like what is campaign is said we were expecting him to come to vote around midday instead, he was there at the start of the day. he avoided the talking to a journalist, which is what he has done throughout much of this campaign that happened mostly on social media. he's the self declared king of tick tock campaign that was pe, the set based essentially on one issue that of corruption. and on more on this, let me bring you in our guest. camila cruz is a professor here in bo. carol monga autonomy university of booker amanda. so, professor help us here understand a little bit why such a disruptive and alternative campaign has been so successful. not only here, but across much of column. well, i think are done this, build a lot of support using the social network to create
9:15 pm
a mass movement of voters, a politician voters that feels that or not. this is an antique group, shown politician and people and people lateesha figure. i think that this is the key factor, but also he has the support of the commerce. i mean, do so chambers, they make a figure to have the support of the private sector. that's definitely a very interesting and, and also important to understand where support comes from. and this has avoided public debates. you. he avoided debating with paypal. he stayed as far as possible. busy from what he consider hard interviews and also is platform has been lacking on details. if you ask, given people here, they'll tell you that they don't care that he has them presented the details of his
9:16 pm
policies, just because they think that no, or at least the only thing that they really care about is getting rid of corrupt politicians. why do you think that is the case? why do colombians don't care in this case to know what the policy is really could be of this candidate is, well, i really believed in columbia. there is no program optic about no, i think that are non this make a, an interesting connection with the actually a political volter. and this is the key. oh, she's sex. no, no bull returners about program. nobody cares about that debate. they really, the voters want figure that support an idea and there's none this. it keeps that idea of antique or is a candidate status put emotion 1st, right? instead of the details of the policy spent when,
9:17 pm
when you had an opportunity to administer, like when he was a mayor here and who had amanda was the actually able to do that to get rid of the corrupt politicians that he says he's so uniquely ready to do, jess, but you have to understand the columbia is as soon to relate to ripple rica simply said to report me on the phone. sions are familiar, are reduce it. and instead of the national fall where residential powers are so issue that they need to a negotiate to build collision and to establish. i never received a relation with congress. no, i think that the experience, you know, local government is not a sufficient or efficient to presidential few. many thanks for being

9:27 pm
april work is in new york voted to form a union for more on this. let's bring in robert scott, who's a senior economist with the economic policy institute. he joins us from rockville in maryland via skype. robert, thanks so much for being on this news. our, this is the food apple store to launch a union drive this year, but it's the 1st to be successful. why do you think that's the case? well, apple has been very aggressive as fighting unionization efforts as having most other companies in the tech industries as well as some of the other companies employed low wage labor. and the reason why are quite simple. busy they want to maintain control of the workforce and minimize the amount of pay going to workers. so what does the fact that the work is now part of a union main for them individually and employees? well, you know, workers nationally or substantially more wages and especially better benefits than
9:28 pm
their non unionized counterparts. but they also follow wages throughout the labor market. over the last 40 years, we've seen a stagnation and wages for all non college work case workers and even new college grad seeing wage designation for the last 2 decades. and yet costs are going up. the cost of colors are going up. so workers are really caught in devise here between their employers and the labor market. robert, do you think that companies more than $270.00 plus dollars across the us will now follow search? i think it's going to be a battle apple. and many of these other high tech companies, the core problem here is that these companies are massive. they dominate labor markets, they're very small in number, both in the cities where they operate, as well as nationwide employ a number of illegal tactics to, to block unionization, such as the employment of non compete agreements and,
9:29 pm
and illegal use of good workers and so on. so it's going to be a very tough battle, but especially among younger workers, unions are very popular over 3 quarters of chamber unions and we see rising unionization of the last year and workers 25 to 34. why? why are we saying that trending in younger workers? workers? i think these workers perceive that unions are great benefits. they're also amongst the most progressive in the country. there are. ready the share of the population and almost carried bernie sanders to the presidential nomination and 2020. so this is a very progressive cohort, and they perceive that unions can help give them the power to compete with their very large monopolized her as we say, i cannot mix monopsony ais,
9:30 pm
employers case where they're only one. or if you employers in an industry product, why is apple declined to comment on the it's what does it say about the company treatment of employees and how it views what's happened? well, this is, as some worker say, labor organizer say this is not a sprite. this is a marathon, apple is in this for the long haul and we can expect them to continue to use very top anti union tactics and certainly not to combat on the, on the victory in this justice. one store have to remember thousands. ready other stores or that could be unionized, you can look for example to, to starbucks. it was 2 stores last year that unionized and. busy busy buffalo, new york, and now workers and more than 70 star stores have filed requests a whole new election. so this could be contagious. well, we really appreciate your insights on this topic. robert scott, a senior economist with the economic policy institute. thank you for your time.

hospital comparable to what we have for older children, adolescents, and young adults. in other words, we think that they'll be about 80 percent effective as about as good as we can get with our current generation or vaccines. there will be, according to our surveys about a quarter of parents who will bring their children in very promptly because they have been waiting for this. and then the vast majority will be a bit more cautious. and we urge them to go to their doctors, their family doctors, their pediatricians ask their questions to the point that they feel comfortable in doing that. and i hope that that happened soon. the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies has reelected francesco rocca as president for another term. a general assemblies under wayne geneva to appoint a new administration representatives for $1000200.00 countries will also decide on

that in, in ukraine, of course is relevant about babies or florida because the job got a framework of dead war, but we can not forget. yeah, i heard a few minutes before you were talking about the menu. i'd appreciate the crisis did need an answer now to island now where the prime minister may hallmark and has warned the u. k. uni lateral changes to a post brick. that agreement would be very serious. the british government says it will introduce a lot of the parts of the northern island protocol. the agreement governs checks on goods being shipped to the region. the european union says that breaks international law and has taken legal action. island says britain needs to negotiate a solution with the you. so let's take a look now at what the northern ireland protocol is and why it's controversial.
