hello and welcome. president macron of france has suffered a major political setback after his party failed to win a majority in the country's parliamentary elections. projections show that his ensemble coalition is set to win around 216 seats, well short of the 289 needed to control the national assembly. our paris correspondent lucy williamson has more. emmanuel macron�*s presidency just got tougher. early projections suggest his centrist coalition has lost a third of its seats tonight. it's now more than 50 seats short of majority. just look at the mood. translation: the situation is unprecedented. _ the national assembly has never seen a configuration of this type in the fifth republic.

this situation constitutes a risk for our country, considering the challenges we have to face. this is president macron�*s main opposition, a new alliance of green and left—wing parties dominated by far—left mps. tonight, celebrating their new status as the first opposition party of france. translation: it's the total. defeat of the president's party and there is no majority. we have achieved the political objective we gave ourselves to bring down the man who, with such arrogance, twisted the arm of the whole country to get elected. but this was the big surprise of the night. marine le pen's far—right national rally party jumped from a handful of seats to almost 90. plenty of opposition to the president from all sides. translation: we are going to continue to bring french l people together as part of a great popular movement

unifying all patriots from the right and the left. the parliamentary opposition to mr macron�*s centrist coalition is now much stronger than before, but it's also more fractured, with one bloc led byjean—luc melenchon on the far—left of the chamber and another by marine le pen on the far—right. french politics is realigning around these three political groups. some voters say it's no bad thing if president macron is forced to negotiate with his opponents. others believe denying the government a majority only leads to stagnation. president macron is facing a new era of political opposition that some see as good for democracy and others as bad for france. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. we can now speak to freelance correspondent alexander seale who specialises in french

and european politics. how unusual is this state of affairs for france? it is really unusual because we have never seen a french parliaments like this before, it is really fractured. the next five years could be complete chaos and disorder. emmanuel macron by the fifth of july that is when the french prime minister that are still in place, is going to make a big speech in parliament, outlining her programme. and so, emmanuel morin akron has untilfivejuly two so, emmanuel morin akron has until five july two coalition with the conservatives, and he and most members of the conservative party want to have a coalition with emmanuel macron, the fight is among the

pro— emmanuel macron and against anti— emmanuel macron, so we have two wait and see in the next few days what the outcome will be. alexander, why would voters back a centrist over the far right and left in the general election yet reject his policies now? i think they did that because they didn't want marine le pen to be president, they didn't want a far right president at the palace. and they rejected these policies during parliamentary elections, so they said, yes, to him on 24th of april, no during the parliamentary elections, it's difficult political landscape we are seeing in france. we have never had that before,

usually there is a french president from a different party and a french prime ministerfrom a different party, i don't think we will see that, i don't think e—mail macron will choose melenchon. perhaps he will keep his prime minister, we don't know, the weak point with the prime minister is that she didn't have parliamentary rule before, it's the first time she has been elected as an mp, so perhaps that is her weakness, we have to wait and see maybe emmanuel macron wants to have a prime minister that's the main thing we will have to wait and see. how amenable has president macron been in the past to compromise and collaboration? as you know he has never been an mp before, the interesting thing is he named his health minister, his former health

minister, his former health minister, with the minister of relations in the parliament, and the president, so he says he wants to change parliament in change democracy so we will have to wait and see what happened what he will do, but, basically emmanuel macron wants to change this in parliament, change things in democracy but voters didn't want that last night, they voted to change things in politics, they voted for extremists, and right now in france we are seeing the extremes are gaining votes, and the left—wing party the conservatives are not gaining votes at all, and so, the next presidential elections, 2027 if the socialists and the right wing party want to gain votes,

they have two really gained ground from the extremists. thank you very much for your time today. the former colombian rebel, gustavo petro, has promised to deliver real change for his country after being elected as the country's first left—wing president. mr petro won 55.5% of the vote compared to the 47% won by his right—wing, populist opponent, rodolfo hernandez. mr petro said his victory marked the beginning of a new phase in colombia's history. with more, here's the bbc�*s south america correspondent katy watson in the capital bogota. the atmosphere here in gustavo petro's h0 is electric. people here almost didn't believe it. it was a nail biter until the very end. this is a historic vote in so many ways — that's often used as a real cliche but it's really true — he is the first leftist president that colombia has ever had.

and francia marquez will be the first black vice president colombia has ever had, and it's testament to the changes colombians wanted. rodolfo hernandez, his rival, the colombian trump, as he was known, has conceded defeat. but gustavo petro will have a job on his hands to try to win over conservative elites that have, for so long, run this country. what this vote shows is the ability for a country like colombia, that has suffered decades of civil conflict, that colombia can actually turn the page on its past and vote for a new future. wildfires have continued to break out in northern spain following the heatwave coursing through the country. the most serious one, in the sierra de la culebra mountain range in the northwest, has destroyed more than 20,000 hectares of woodland. the bbc�*s azadeh moshiri

identified and seamlessly executed, and we expect that that will be done within the next year. earlier this year, the duke and duchess of cambridge were injamaica as part of their caribbean tour. but it was overshadowed by protests, and this picture, an unintended reminder of britain's colonial past, becoming one of the defining images of their visit. but the future of jamaica will be decided by its people. if we become a republic, we will still be member of the commonwealth. still with the british but not ruled. but the future of jamaica will be decided by its people. i think we separate. there is a high level of respect of the sovereign lady, the queen, but we have a very painful past with colonialism and the slave trade.

it is the jamaican people who will have the final say. a referendum will need to be held. if we become a republic, we will still be member of the commonwealth. still with the british but not ruled. we don't want the queen any more. she hasn't done anything for us. locked us up, enslaved us and abandoned us, that's what the queen did forjamaica. there is no doubt that ifjamaica did end up breaking away from the british monarchy, it would be a symbolic move. but questions over stability and surviving completely alone are still fiercely debated here. adina campbell, bbc news, kingston, jamaica. borisjohnson has written in today's telegraph newspaper insisting commonwealth countries will reap financial rewards if they stay in the

of scotland and northern england as well. it might be relatively fresh air that we have at the moment however, in the week ahead we are going to draw in north—westerly winds, actually milder winds dragging in there that's originated from north america and that milder air will be pushing in behind this warm front, that will be a feature of the weather over the next few days. for monday morning we have got a fresh start to the day but for most, clear, blue sunny skies and there won't be much cloud even into the afternoon. the humidity level�*s low, it will feel warm in the sunshine but there will be some thicker cloud working into north—west scotland thanks to that warm front and that's going to be bringing some low cloud, a bit of mist and fog around coasts and hills and patches of drizzle. 1a degrees for stornoway but for most, temperatures into the low 20s. it's going to feel warm in that sunshine. that more humid air will make inroads on tuesday in across scotland and northern ireland, that is why it is turning cloudier here and the cloud thick enough for an occasional spot of light rain or drizzle particularly in the morning, again, there could be a few mist and fog patches. further south across england and wales, another fine and sunny day but we are starting to see those temperatures rise higher, 25 celsius in the best of the sunshine across

parts of the midlands. wednesday should be some brighter weather i think moving into parts of scotland and northern ireland at times, still hanging on to a fair bit of sunshine across england and wales but with that more humid airarriving, temperatures can rise faster and further so wednesday we are looking at highs up to 28 celsius. the north and west where it does stay a bit cloudier, temperatures more generally into the high teens. we could start to see some showers threatening the southeast on thursday, otherwise more hot and sunny we could start to see some showers threatening the southeast on thursday, otherwise more hot and sunny weather locally across parts of england and wales, still 19 or 20 for places in scotland and northern ireland but we might see rain in the west by friday.
