will you ah, ah, ah ah, this is, do you have the news live from berlin? manuel michael went his 2nd term, s french president, the incumbent comfortably ben's off a strong challenge from his bar. right? opponent marine le pen. but he wins with less support that his 1st time running and u. s. secretary of state and defense arrived from keith for talk to ukrainian president low to mid lensky. head of the visits lensky delivers a defiant orthodox easter message. he tells his people to turn their rage against russia into a force to defeat evil. ah,

i may look rough welcome to the program. amanew macklin has been re elected to a 2nd 5 year term as president of france. a con seized a convincing victory over his far right. opponent, where we le pen in the runoff election. this is the 2nd time my phone has defeated le pen. the 1st was in 2017. but the gap between the 2 candidates this time was narrower than last time, suggesting a more divided electorate a grin not often seen on the french leader sunday's votes. so emin, wilma claw in high spirits after he won 5 more years in office. the 1st french president in 20 years to be re elected. but as he claimed to victory, he acknowledged that many votes hadn't been cast for him, but against his opponent. just so see, i know that many of our compatriots have voted for me to day,

not to support the ideas that i stand for. listen to support to block those of the extreme right. i said that if someone as fighting reaches in ukraine, many are relieved that macross victory won't mean a change. of course, during the campaign, he contrasts at his opponents ties to the kremlin with his own strong support for arming ukrainian forces. that we are going through tragic times here on a kind law. the war in ukraine obliges friends to make its choices clear. so who are the thought this and to build up its strength them in all areas to swap? that is something we will continue to do. but with the domain in order, so polish had predicted a close race, but in the end macro, when a comfortable 58 percent of votes,

his far right opponent marine le pen conceded defeat. but boyd by his strongest ever showing she said she wasn't going anywhere. this evening i will say again, i will never abandon the french people, left the republic long, left france and as her party looked for what crumbs were left far left, demonstrators clashed with police and several cities accusing mycroft being a president for the rich who am unwell macro has pledged to be a president for all french citizens, but it will take more than a smile and a wave to make frances widespread dissatisfaction. go away. w correspondent in paris. lisa lewis says my cons challenge ahead is to unite

a divided france. well, i think the biggest challenge for him will be to be a real centrist president. he has to walk this really fine line between some center, right, some center left policies, what he actually promised 5 years ago. but seemingly, he hadn't really managed to fulfill this promise in his speech. he said, you know, i want a human, an equal a social, a liberal, an ecological. and, you know, france actually for the coming 5 years. and that is really difficult to obtain because he's he has to talk 2 days later on the send to write that have a to for him. but also today's where it is on the center, let that have actually voted from someone holding as sometimes holding knows, actually, but thinking, you know, we have to vote for him to prevent marina, pardon marina penn from coming to power. well my, my call will try to put some left wing measures on the table. is obviously looking a hat to these legislators elections and hoping to be able to win

a majority in parliament as he did last time around 5 years ago when he came to power. really. now, the big question will be in these legislative elections. will he be able to maintain that majority a will there? on the contrary, be a left wing majority. the far left candidate jones banashali came 3rd in route one here in the presidential election has already said that he wanted to become prime minister. say to say by winning a majority in parliament and then influencing at that you know that the, the politics to come over the thought coming 5 years. even if that were not the case. i think in my, my call really has understood that he needs to change that he needs to talk to those that are disappointed. disenchanted with him and who were thinking ahead of the 2nd round of even voting for mood, a pen or simply abstaining because they can't get themselves to agree with my comment to like him, he really needs to turn that around in the coming 5 years or the other risk is

actually that marina pen will rise further and some people here tonight have told me, you know, we really need to do something. we don't want her to win next time around or in 10 years. you are secretary said anthony blank in the defense secretary lloyd austin, have arrived in keith to meet ukrainian president. full of them is the lensky. he's pushing for more weapons to fight the russian offensive in the south and east of his country. the u. s. has started providing some of the heavier equipment he's been asking for an orthodox easter message. lensky told ukrainians to turn their rage against russia into a force to defeat evil. so orthodox easter sunday in queue feast going with president followed him is a lansky recorded an easter message from saint sophia cathedral nash's editor spooning our hearts are full of fierce anger. bolden in our souls are filled with fierce hatred for the invaders and all that they have done and up. don't let rage

destroy us from within the lot and turn it into our accomplishments from the outside, but at the already turn it into a good force where to defeat the forces of evil una dorothy will abbey. but i will be silly. the law on a sunny spring day worshippers attended mass at saint michael's church and cave. some here now see a light at the end of the tunnel. did it have said that it was eve, but of july? it is. i'm worried about my country and my unborn child. now, i'm scared, but i believe we will be victorious. i. our president is protecting us the room, which he does the impossible. and so do the men and women of our armed forces, i believe, and victory was that's why i'm staying in ukraine with my baby is, malcom i am the put him on. boost was either void. so yester service is happening as usual circle, but our country is at war was a war that has brought sorrow to every ukrainian less of the villas. we pray that

the lord gives us strength to handle these challenges with dignity. and that's what we are confident of victory because no korean, so but for now, the situation on the ground remains much the same. a grinding fight for territory in the south and east one. the fear that a missile might come crashing down anywhere in the country. and that the war is far from over. one of putin's justifications for his invasion of ukraine was that nato might expand to include ukraine as a member which would threaten russia on its border. now any membership in the western military alliance is likely a ways off for ukraine, but it could be sooner for other countries close to russia. the war in ukraine is giving finland and sweden, for example, a reason to rethink their longtime neutral status. russia's war on

ukraine has finally made finland, feel it's time to take sides. if there is a new iron curtain coming into the europe, then fins hope to be on the western side of that cut. in the best case scenario, that curtain would be finland's, 1300 kilometer border with russia. worst case scenario, finland, which like ukraine is outside of nato, becomes a kremlin target until the february invasion fins preferred this non aligned status . having built their own powerful military with one of the largest weapons stockpiles in western europe and a high proportion of citizens willing and trained to fight if necessary. we have very tough defense forces here, and we have very big, we're as a reservist organization here, almost line on 100000. but now a decision on whether those assets could become nato's northeastern flank is expected within weeks, widely predicted to be positive after

a spike in public support following moscow's attack. and the finish parliament is debating the question of membership as the government seeks consensus before making its decision worth leverage, the prime minister herself has reversed course from saying in january that alliance membership was not even on the table. i'll process vote will be quite a fast, it will happen in weeks. but the very process of seeking the security guarantees provided by the alliance has its own risks. moscow repeatedly threatens serious political and military consequences should villain proceed on the path towards nato membership. and such retaliation could come while finland waits for the 30 allied governments to accept and ratify its membership. 3 are probably going to be very, very well prepared for different potential hybrid warfare. over talking about the refugee flows over the finish or, or from border, rob cyberattacks, the economic sanctions of the, the a to good for hybrid measures is very wide. unfortunately,

nato secretary general un stilton berg has sought to reassure helsinki. they can easily join this alliance if they decide to apply. i'm certain that will find ways to address the concerns they may have a regarding to period between the a potential application on the final ratification day. mean spin, wind, and sweden as stockholm is also we considering it's historic opposition to joining the alliance. and what it would mean to be the only non nato nordic country if the fins for to head and turning now to some other stories, making news right now to people are dead and one injured after paris elise opened fire and a car that reportedly sped towards them police, the car was driving against traffic. the incident happened just hours after manuel mccomb claimed victory in the french presidential election. officials are
