in the uk and around the world. polls have now closed in mexico, in the biggest and deadliest election in the country's history. more than 21,000 seats are being contested for mayors, state legislators and the entire lower house of congress — where the morena party of president andres manuel lopez 0brador is hoping to retain its two—thirds majority. but the vote has been marred by some of the worst violence in mexico's history. 89 assassinations of politicians recorded from september to the end of may — 35 of them were due to be standing in this vote. the poll is also expected to be heavily influenced by the impact of the covid pandemic. it's claimed 230,000 lives in mexico, the fourth highest death toll in the world. away from local politics — the vote is all about this man — president lopez 0brador —

here casting his ballot. he is half way through his six year term — and it remains to be seen whether voters bolster his leadership or punish him at the polls. 0ur correspondent will grant joins me now from mexico city. any indication on that last point? any signs coming out? well, it is that point on election night, isn't it, david, where polls start closing and both sides started to claim they have one. they do think we are hearing from the president's side that they have taken six states and 1a bar here in mexico city. then again the opposition alliance claim they have five states to, and i think we to take all of this

with a very large pinch of salt. it is too early to say with any degree of assuredness what has happened. let's bear in mind there are still polls open, its closing, gradually, obviously with the time difference across the country, there are still people casting their ballots. nevertheless, i think it has been one of those elections that has broadly gone off peacefully despite all of the violence you mentioned at the violence you mentioned at the start there. and certainly voters eyes spoke to had one polling stations said they were largely motivated by the issue of the government's handling of the coronavirus pandemic. translation: | think - the government's handling of the economy during the pandemic has been terrible. i'm a business owner, and i received no financial help for either me or my employees. thankfully we were able to get through it. but there was no tax break or social security benefit either. we still had to pay the full social security contributions for our employees. translation: there are many people - who live hand—to—mouth in mexico _ you're not thinking about what's- going to happen in a year or in three months' timel

because you need to eatl today and pay rent today. in my opinion, it's not ethical for the government to use i the power they have to manipulate - the population this way. but as much as they try to hide it, - it's evident they haven't - handled the pandemic well. i don't think too many people could disagree with that thought, when you look at the figures, they are not very encouraging. isuppose figures, they are not very encouraging. i suppose part of the point about these mid—terms is that the president can approach them knowing he is, frankly, in an extremely strong position, which may be a little bit undiluted.— bit undiluted. yes, think the thin to bit undiluted. yes, think the thing to watch _ bit undiluted. yes, think the thing to watch out _ bit undiluted. yes, think the thing to watch out for- bit undiluted. yes, think the thing to watch out for as - bit undiluted. yes, think the i thing to watch out for as these election results come in is will he obtain or retain the two—thirds majority had —— he has in the congress. it will then be the question as to whether he will be able to pass the rest of his legislative agenda of what —— in what remains in his 60th term. the opposition are already been into claim that he won't, but

his party is saying they will. we will keep eyes on that. the thing you are absolutely right, his position is assured, he is not in any way being voted upon, although he is, of course, this sort of ghost at the feast of any ballot at the moment. think what is important is he has pushed through certain changes in this country, penchant for people who didn't previously have them, grant universities didn't, and there are those who believe he actually managed the coronavirus pandemic well, in the sense he kept the economy going. so that core support may well turn out key for him. we will keep _ well turn out key for him. we will keep close _ well turn out key for him. we will keep close tabs for now. thank you very much indeed. will grant in mexico city. germany's governing christian democrats have scored a convincing victory in a key state election — the last before national polls in september. partial results put them on 37% in saxony—anhalt — up by more than six points from five years ago. the anti—immigrant afd party, which had been expecting big gains, is trailing at less than 21%. the result is a big boost

to tie with margaret court? i think that is a point where it is very tough for her to get that on clay, that is where things came least easy and as she is reaching 309i think it is going to be absolutely the steepest uphill climb for her. the points are longer, the power doesn't penetrate the court quite as much and she will have the hardest time winning here of anywhere. it was a draw that opened up her a bit but it was all was going to be the toughest challenge. the stamina question is a very good one for serena, isn't it? it does seem as if tournaments are almost a match too long. she has made _ almost a match too long. she has made a — almost a match too long. she has made a bunch _ almost a match too long. she has made a bunch of - almost a match too long. sie: has made a bunch of vinyl almost a match too long. s“ie: has made a bunch of vinyl that has made a bunch of vinyl that has been able to cross the finish line, you are right, it has been one match too far for her but she will occur on is a lot more at wimbledon coming up next month. she has done very well there, herweapon next month. she has done very well there, her weapon is going to be a lot more effective there, so she is not out of hope but paris is perhaps a bridge too far. i hope but paris is perhaps a bridge too far.— hope but paris is perhaps a bridge too far. i think roger federer always _ bridge too far. i think roger federer always knew - bridge too far. i think roger federer always knew paris | bridge too far. i think roger - federer always knew paris would be a bridge too far. he always

was named best actor. do you have any worries it's going to be the biggest thing you ever do? totally. that's, like, an intrusive thought. give up now, quit while you're ahead! and the most complained—about tv programme of 2020 is now a bafta—winning show. diversity�*s black lives matter dance routine on britain's got talent lead to more than 25,000 ofcom complaints. it won the audience vote for the tv moment of the year. i have to say thank you to the people that did put all of that abuse out there online because you showed the truth. you showed exactly why this performance and this moment was necessary. these baftas were held in a covid—compliant tv studio, with nominees in performance categories allowed to attend if they wore a mask. others had to watch remotely, so when long lost family won in the feature category, nicky campbell and davina mccall were seen celebrating on a sofa. casualty. and when casualty was named

i'm @bbcdavideades. you are up—to—date, thanks for watching bbc news. hello there. last week was the first week ofjune but it was also half term and the weather could not have been better. we quite literally had sunshine topping and tailing the country as you can see by this weather watch picture sent in. all the way down to cornwall, not a cloud in the sky, light winds, lots of sunshine. the warmth peaked on wednesday and in fact it was the warmest day of the year so far across scotland, northern island, wales and also into england. our week ahead will be a little bit more mixed, unfortunately. particularly into the far north and west as we see weather fronts toppling in across an area of high pressure that's going to bring some clout in increasing strengthening wind at well at the time but this further south in the east will keep warmer, dryer

and sunny weather. so let's take a look and a little more detail. monday morning it starts off a little on the cloudy side with some mist and fog shroding the coast. that will thin and break, will cease sunshine develop into the afternoon we could have a few sharp showers and particularly to the east of the penines, some heavy and thundery. temperature is widely high teens, low 20s just that little bit cooler into the far north and east. as we move into tuesday high—pressure clings on across england and wales, across the top of that high we start to see a weather front pushing in. the winds will start to increase, will have a little bit of showery rain in northern ireland in the western fringes of northern ireland. and generally a little more cloud into scotland.

sheltered area should keep some sun and the highs of 20 degrees but we could see 22 celsius, 72 fahrenheit across the south east england. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday more of the same, really if anything the isobars squeeze together and the winds are set to increase. some of the rain could be heavy along west facing slopes and there will be more cloud generally pushing across northern england, wales and down into the southwest. the best of the sunshine on wednesday into the southeast. because the wind direction is coming from south—westerly it's going to be quite a humid feel to the day. temperatures widely into the low to mid 20s to the south, a little bit cooler further north. thursday into friday looks likely to see a good deal of dry weather. but again always the warmest of the weather down to the south. that's it, take care.
