a lensky visits troops on the countries in the country south, rather ukrainian president tours. and nikolai of where soldiers are fighting to prevent a russian advance. and columbia likes a new president in historic vote. the former gorilla and political wild card is now set to run the polarized nation, and he's promised to shake up the country. ah, mary tilton, welcome to the program in france, president manuel my calls alliance is lost. it's absolute majority in parliament to link parliamentary elections. that's according to early estimates. as counting continues across the country, my calls allies will likely emerge as the biggest party in the new national assembly. but with an absolutely jordy of 289 seats,

the french prison is expected to face challenges and pushing his reform agenda. ford is main rivals. a new left wing alliance led by john luc berlin. shawn fell short of 200 seats. according to early estimates, no earlier d w spoke to lisa lewis in paris. she explained with the loss of an absolute majority in the parliament. no means from her call. while i'm on my call, we'll have to change his policies. really, it is quite certain that certain of a sudden reforms that he's planning, such as, for example, pushing up the retirement age from 62 to 6465 would be very difficult to get through parliament. he will have to compose with other forces on the left and on the right. and if he wants to form a stable alliance with other parties in parliament, that could even mean that he will have to, you would have to proceed to a re shuffle of his government, at least

a parcel reshuffle to build another stable group in parliament. what is for sure though, is that the governing road will be rep, very rocky for him on my coin, the coming 5 years. that was deed up as lisa lewis, reporting from paris. russia has said it seized a village near the key eastern city of sierra, the risk and ukraine has conceded to a setback in that area. this comes a day after ukrainian president of a little demo zalinski visited troops on the southern front line where his troops are fighting off attempts by russia to take more territory. you're the cities of nikolai, of an agenda, with little change to frontline positions. they do was to nato's chief warns that the war could go on for years when it's russian cruise missiles like these that are pounding targets and ukraine. moscow claims to be carrying out precision guided attacks on ukrainian military infrastructure and command positions

. but the soaring civilian death toll and seemingly indiscriminate damage to residential homes and cities refutes those claims. on a visit to the southern front, ukraine's president saw the destruction for himself with a lot of houses were destroyed severely. logistics were disrupted, and many social issues have developed. i've instructed that more systematic help we offered to people who have lost families. and everything that has been destroyed will be restored. there are not enough missiles and bushes to weaken our people's will to live with eastern ukraine is also being pummeled by russian artillery. the city of lucy, sions has endured fierce shelling and now soldiers are digging in to defend the city street by street for civilians that survived the shelling. it's high time to leave here, your tillery this cup of clothes, you know, around some people,

understandably get nervous. they're worried about the dried out of here, so it's a constant. it's constantly trying to reassure people that you know, any way we take gum, this can be better than it was i, we're leaving everything behind everything that we've had here for 70 years. and we don't know where we'll go. the son, ukrainian troops in the z shands aren't just on the defensive. they're now firing at russian positions and 70 done yet so tenaciously refusing to give up the fight. earlier we spoke to t w's emmanuel shaws in key of about claims from the russian military that his army is gaining ground, while ukrainian forces are suffering heavy losses. of course, this would be a war off words, and of course the russian side asa ukrainian side would do, would, you know,

emphasized a lot they gains why did on the losses of the russian army have, has done so has made some progress. so my no progress, i would say in areas around 7, o 2, yes, go around the hockey, but so did the ukraine on forces, especially in the south of their country near her, so near as supple reach out. we've seen also reports in russia, media of a major tribe which would have killed a lot of high ranking ukrainian offices. these hasn't been corroborated independently by depressed, by international press or by the ukrainian aside. but of course that there are heavy losses on both sides. both of you are quite inside and the russian side, russia has really a majorly increase. it's offensive, especially in the new house region. some reports, some intelligence report, as se dots, or even russia has a place to all of these reserves, and they're in no hands in order to caleb. this offensive in the coming days

left us presidential candidate, gustavo petro wins columbia's election by a narrow margin. the former gorilla and current senator will be columbia's 1st left, his leader, his edged out his former or his opponent, former mayor and milliner rodolfo are none of us petros, when march a drastic change in presidential politics for a country that has long marginalized. it's left or its perceived association with decades of insurgency. no, earlier i asked d. w. 's johan commuters, how petrol was able to pull off the surprising victory. he had a very successful electric company, very successful communication campaign because actually hip were sent to the himself. asked said renovation as a change as a a break, we continue to by the truth, is that gustavo better has been doing politics in columbia for the last 30 years. he wasn't the congress 1st thing. he was diplomatic. thank you was may your or

bullet that one of the main jobs in politics in columbia? now he's again in congress. now. he becomes a president, but he has very been very successful in presenting himself as a renovation and brought it up on daily hiking was also a formative greed yet. so he was very also successful in re right in his bust. his all plant relo fernandez is a very rich and man, and it was easy before better to, to attack him off being part of their political and economic leads of the country. so how likely is petros election are likely to change columbia's political landscape is a major change leads to remembered that his victory represents the 1st time that left to wink takes power in the country. columbia has been enrolled for debt, gets for mainly to political parties, and this is a major change. he has promises left to wink. palaces saw shelah policies,

and there are lots of expectations on his government that will start on august 7th . the saw in a little bit more than a month, or i sort of gets colby's going through a shift to the left. but at the same time, both candidates ran on platforms rejecting the political establishment. so why are colombian so dissatisfied with their government? because as i said, that colombia was a rule for mainly to political parties for decades and during decades they didn't, they weren't able to tackle the main provenance of the country. columbia went ah, into a civil war for more than 50 years. columbia was have been fighting gases, rossi, you know, i mean the golden age of drug trafficking and via the government. so in this con, to when an able to tackle this problem is security. and just to give you one recent example, last year, amy, the huge crisis provoked by the pandemic. amy the huge economic crisis. the government of now outgoing president, even duke proposed

a tax reform tax reform to increase taxes for the middle class. it provoked the a huge political ah crisis and thousands of people took to the streets to protest on that mom into wasa. turning point for gustavo, better to, to come out as a new, as a, as a possibility. and also rather fernandez us on the sun outside. let's remember that in this presidential race, all political traditions of the political parties were out of the of the race. and that's why because people were dissatisfied with the elite, the political elite of the country date of years. johan ramirez in bogota. and here's a round up of some other stories making a headlines at this hour. hundreds of people have protested in tunisia capital against a referendum, unconstitutional changes cold, but president, ca, you say it critic say zion has been extending his power grab after dissolving parliament march and 2nd, dozens of judges earlier this month. moldova held
