the, the lie from berlin, this is dw new special coverage. the european union, the legs, a new parliament, games for the right. and last is for the greens with results coming in. the conservative a p. p alliance is said to remain the biggest group in parliament. its leader, european commission, president. ursula, for the lion is on course for another term. and the 1st and follow out from this election, french president emanuel mack calling dissolves the national assembly and calls snap elections after marine la pens. far right. national rally scored a resounding victory today. and here in germany at the far right, a f d party climbing to 2nd place with the conservatives winning the largest share of

the vote. germany transfer off shelves is social democrats, heading for their worst ever result. the . i'm for a golf, it's good to have you with this. this is dw news, a special coverage of the european election. it is 11 p. m here in berlin, all pulling places across the european union are now closed. and the european parliament, it looks set for a shift to the right that said, the center right to europe and people's party. the looks for is to remain the biggest party in the assembly of that's the party of ursula fund, a lie and he is, he rides here. she is president of the european commission. if projections hold, she will likely serve a 2nd term as commission president. she says the p,

p will build a bastion against extremes on the left and the right part of the strong showing was enough defend off a challenge by 4 white groups which are expected to gain seats in the european either say power over the last 5 years. and this is and with those results come again, we are getting now a clear idea about the future make up of the european parliament. let's take a look at the numbers. this is what the chamber has looked like for the past 5 years. you can see the p was and remains the biggest block. that's the group that includes right of center parties, such as germany's christian democrats and spain's people's party. and they remain the biggest group in the project, the new parliament with an unchanged number of seats. but we can see the biggest swings are on opposite ends of the spectrum with voters turning their backs on europe's green party. you see right there and a swing towards the id group. those are the far right and populous parties. they do

not, however, include germany's a f d that party was expelled from the group earlier this year. alright, let's get the european perspective from everything that has happened. the day i'm joined by our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena in brussels. alexandra, wow. what the me, it has been the, the far right has clearly seen a big search in these selections. what else do we know this evening? well, when she writes that the european parliament swings to the riots with center, right. but also the far right parties said to take the largest number of seats in this parliament. and a clear winner of this the night is as, as it seems to centre right to europe and people's party. they will remain the largest group in the parliament. and we already heard from there,

the candidate was of the funded lie and address to our supporters, thanking them and declaring victory for her group. and now she has the best chances to be again, the next president of the european commission. she needs the approval of the 27 hats of state and government in 27 members dates then she needs the approval of the european parliament and apparently, despite what she said on the contain trail that sheets woods imagine working together with some soft right groups. now she's saying, as you mentioned, that her party will build a question against extreme forces on the left and on the right. and that's means that she's hoping for the support of the show social democrats in the european parliament and deliberate. all of them are and colleagues on the job but to work together because they described themselves as the to all europe and forces in the

european parliament. alexandra look into your crystal ball. how do you see this new composition forming into european parliaments? how do you see that impacting and influencing european policies for the next 5 years? well, i would assume that so that probably europe and forces it will become more difficult to work together and to a, to implement the pro european agend with rod to cold parties and the far right i'm having so many seats in the european problem ends and it will be the key question here, whether the far right will kind of unites and, and votes together on important issue then something that was always very difficult for them and whether they will be in it, in a, able to prevent some he european initiative from happening

initiatives that they don't like, like, you know, the advancing that we deal for other legislations on topic such as migration on defense spending, proposals, bureau chief, alexander phenomena with the latest tonight's working is through the numbers and the consequences of the election. alexander, thank you. any time speaking of consequences, french president emanuel, my crown has called snap elections after suffering a resounding defeat in the european pulse mac wrong said the results of the european parliamentary vote for his government were grim and could not be ignored. escalation came in 2nd. well, behind marine le pens far white national rally, which is on course for nearly a 3rd of the macro and says he did not take the decision

to call elections lightly. so this is your, this is a serious and way to decision. but above all, it isn't active trust trusting you, mission, idea, competitor, you that step in the ability of the french people to make the adjustments choice for themselves and for future generations to our correspondence on you found a car in paris, it says mac crones announcement of snap problem injury elections. she says it comes as a big surprise. absolutely, i mean this is a political bomb. shannon that has landed, you know, in the ultimate, of this kind of a very chaotic of the argument action. now press them across courses reacting there to projected results in front showing that the far right now should not be made. the pin one, the selection hands down scolding rick was 31 percent of the vote. that's more than double a. that's then lots of my phone's centrist when is almost 40,

so it's really big. even the 2nd place is about 15 percent. so this is really a crushing defeat for my cost, spotty. but it's really not exactly a surprise because it did kind of reflects what the opinion phones he would have been saying for weeks of now, as you said, my calling me to sort of dress a to, to announce that he was dissolving the parliament. i assume you spoke of the rise of the far right. i think you skepticism. he said that the outcome of the election is not a good result. the parties are defending the order and the decision to dissolve the national assembly and has already met with somebody action here, a fridge. we do have been showing some footage of his support of an absolute shock and disbelief when he made this announcement. and on the country we've seen supporters of money into pain celebrating the scalding for distribution. you know, academic told me to be way more independent, living dependence of dressing tonight in paris. and what is this all mean for marine la pens for our white national rally party as sonya and i ask,

could we be talking in, in july, could we be talking about a possible madam president le pen, what i take from the pin. um, this is obviously a huge, huge victory. um she is somebody who has managed re brand herself, essentially as a mainstream finger. she has managed to win down detoxify if you liked the motor that it couldn't aspects the football team. the kind of racism in the anti semitism football team was known for 4 months. you know, the fall right naturally riley has been moved by the need kind of the job done. but the night he's a 28 year old, a children popular french politician. he's the city of kind of increase on the far right. and for months they got him, dominated the opinion, polls the hammer, the way of domestic issues like crime and immigration. they've done this multiple a, something of really for random on president mcfall, who dramatic who remains which the unpopular here. and i think this victory full of

been does certainly has implications the funds because this was widely seen as you know about all mental the mashed and move ahead of the presidential elections in 2027 waiting, waiting. the pin is running for the presidency. it would be helpful to be football work. and hope of course, is that the strong showing we both total chances and 100 emissions due to finally get to the music. and so i'm just gonna ask you about the timing of all of this because this is, this seems like a lot of political uncertainty and it's coming right before paris is about to host the olympics. a willful weeks. we've heard a job done, but the, the, the, the lead candidates of the far right. national ready saying that you know what he would call for the dissolution of the parliament if macro and suffered a crushing defeat. but nobody really expected to do this and, and he's also not constitutionally likes to do this. so in that sense, it has come as a, as a, as

a big surprise to people. i think the fundamental problem here is that my goal is to decide to go to the minority government and he images everywhere. we can now. okay, a correspondence. so when you found the call with the latest repairs tonight, sonya thank you. you corresponded jack parrot. he is in warsaw at the headquarters of the right wing law and justice party. i asked him to tell us more about the exit polls in poland as well. it looks like it's a good successful the prime minister don't know. talking to tusk and his civic coalition platform, he has basically came the victory and said that they have shown that they are the lights of hope in your if it looks like they'll get 21 of the 53 seats for opponent . i'm here at the law and justice policy. they appear according to the projections to have taken 19 of those 53 years left. his innkeepers, the president of the party came on stage just behind me. i think you can see the former prime minister that montage more of yet ski. he's to look into the precipice

. kazinsky came out and he said, listen, these are important elections for us. we can learn from this. they want to remind to come pain to take over the national government government, a governance of this country, which they lost. they don't tell you that 2023 last year. so tusk is claiming victory through adjust. this policy is still that was broadly predicted to be about and that can neg, tuscan, the types of tests part to hit a piece with just adds that. i'm proposing tonight. that would be a strong showing of him. he'll say that that also shows or for a t for his government here, dw is jack barrick with the latest from more sol, poland tonight. jack, thank you. here in germany, the far right alternative for germany is on course to become the 2nd biggest force in this country from a transfer all of shelters. as p d, the social democrats heading for their worst ever national election results. the

greens also solved very nearly have well, the conservatives retain the biggest share of the book. germany's a f. d celebrates through showing in european parliament elections. the far right party is projected to take 2nd place ahead of the governing coalition. the de campaigned on an e skeptic anti immigration platform despite a series of scandals in the run up to the ballot. support for the party is up from the last elections. we had a from the start to the election campaign and then really caught up in the final spurt after all the prophecies of do after the beverage of the last few weeks. we're the 2nd strongest force and i'm telling you the only way is off tonight.

the biggest winters looks that to be the center, right? christian democrats currently in germany's opposition, the cd use that voters have sent the chancellor. a clear message. you said keep this. most of this result must really give the federal government imposed for sold . it must now correct its policy for the political change is needed in germany. and i call on the federal chancellor, the social democrats, the greens and the ftp. things cannot continue as they have been in the past 2 and a half years. the biggest losers of the night, germany's ruling social democrats, the chancellors party, are facing their worst result in decades. but they're not giving up the size. this is an old clock. so i lived imitates admission for all democrats of images. and especially if you know the history of social democracy and then you know that for all of us and for us at the top of the s p d. such a frustrating result is not

a reason to bury our heads in the sand, but to say now more than ever and as i can yet as to waste few in the green who are in a 3 way coalition with b s p. d are also facing a major drop in support. the stage has now been set for t regional elections in several german states. where the far right is also expected to make gains. our chief political correspondent, nina house. she has spent the evening at green party headquarters here in berlin, and she told me more about the parties losses. this is, of course, a huge blow for the greens who are of close parts of the ruling coalition in berlin . together with the social democrats and the liberal f t p party, the greens had been aware that they would probably suff alexys, but this is a tremendous below you have to say. and many people here on the stage also said the

policy leader said they said that they cannot be happy with this result whatsoever . but that they are ready to get into a coalition and debate on the european level with the conservatives, for example. so they said, what's important now is that the democratic party sticks together. they said that they are ready to take over responsibility if the conservatives want to engage in discussions with them. but there are, of course, are lots of factors that have contributed to this really poor results. so the greens in germany, i would make out $31.00. it is the discontent with all of sorts. it's government overall. any one in full gem and say that they are happy with how the governing coalition is doing that job invalid. and then the 2nd point is of course the climate change has somewhat taken aback seats now with voters for 5 years ago when the last year repeating elections took place, climate change and the ways to fight it was definitely topic number one for voters

that is considered the greens core competency this year around is the 1st european election since russ has full scale invasion need to ukraine. so of course a piece on securing piece peaches highly on the agenda. then the 2nd topic, social security side migration, and the 4th is ways to fight climate change. but the fed factor is also important. i think that the young voters, especially seem to have 10 that box on the brain. yeah, it means you know, i mean i'm trying to understand what we have seen happen in the spring to 5 years. the greens have gone from being a front runner in politics to what appears to night to be a party of political kryptonite. how did this happen? of the degrees, all facing a dilemma. so the people who want more climate protection, who want more messages since they entered and the government in berlin,

they've had to make a lot of compromises. so the people who are idealists, if you will, who want more climate adaptation measures to be implemented on the national level in germany, they feel disappointed. but at the same time those who are per matic say that the greens, out and doing too much that the, the, the dictating to many policies here in berlin, that is one fact. so then the 2nd day is of course, the rise of social media. so this is something why we know that a platforms like tech talk, i strongly successful with young voters when it comes to the content of the a if the so that is a strategy that the far right parties, but also the conservative i've taken very seriously and the more send to write on sent a less parties are lagging behind in terms of social content that, that trying to get to the young versus the greens are in a governing coalition. with the social democrats and the free democrats,

the social democrats, of course, the party of the chance are a lot sholtes. when you look at the performance of the greens, it tonight considering that there are regional elections here in germany later this year, there's a national election in germany next year. what impact can you foresee? can you predict this having on the national political standing of the parties that are now in government? if you look at the results from eastern germany in particular to night, it is a terrifying results for the greens. you have to say you cannot. and to do an understatement when it comes to this topic and isa gemini, the greenstone feature, a tool anymore, we see the a, if the in facts, the new for example, at 43 percent. so that is close to the majority to an absolute majority. the green's on the evening featuring on uh the projected results pictures. so that is something where it will be very, very interesting to see just how the greens will try to convince that coalition

partners in berlin at the national level, to really get the act together that they don't lose massively. and those very important regional elections later this year, their role taking place in the east of the country. why we all seeing a search in support for the conservatives, but especially for the far right. and then they have only one in the hop is to convince voters to go to the polls. so them, when it comes to the federal elections, which are taking place, an awesome 2025. yeah, you're gonna have is a long time in politics. but the numbers tonight, they're going to have a long way to go with. they want to go up there to assure you know, honda ad green party headquarters in berlin need a thank you. well, our political correspondent, matthew moore. he was at the party headquarters for germany's alternative fort germany party. he sent us this up to it was a successful night for the fall right in germany here at the alternative,

a japanese headquarters. the celebrated us, the results came and whose results, which proved them looking like 5 percent better off than the way in 2019. and it comes the middle of the scandals around the top candidates for the european elections comes on. that's gotten to the right mot planned for most people, taishan of jem and citizens that were an understanding of this year. i really took a den to that pulling by the state to night. these results vindicate their messages to voters, the voters of stuck with them in the roots of chosen to across next to their name. because the fed up with the coalition government breland fundamentally tonight they see these results. we'll give them some, some of the big gust of wind and their sales as they look ahead to critical elections in this eastern states of g. i'm the lead to this. yeah, i'm more importantly national elections next year. that was matthew mor reporting from right here in berlin. let's take a closer look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. india is prime, minister, and arrange for moody has been sworn in for an historical 3rd term at a ceremony. in delhi, for the 1st time,

he'll have to rely on coalition partners to govern his hindu nationalist. b. j. p. parties failed to secure and outweigh majority, at least 9 people were killed after suspected militants fired at a bus in indian control. cashier's, y'all, new providence. the bus carrying pilgrims to a hindu temple tumbled into a ravine. no one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack which left at least $33.00 others injured. former defense minister, many guns has resigned from israel's war cabinet. guns had previously given prime minister benjamin netanyahu in ultimatum to approve a plan for gaza once the war is over. he never got their plan guns calling his departure, an agonizing decision. sorry. unfortunately, next in yahoo is preventing us from progressing to the real victory,

which is the justification for the painful and ongoing cost. that's why we are leaving the war time copying it today. we live with a heavy hot, but with a whole hot. we present ourselves today to the bottle for the fates of the state of israel, for generations to come to the door, cut the correspondents on new agreement in jerusalem. she has more now about the resignation. i mean, as you said, it was somehow expected. she gave this altima item uh like about 3 weeks ago when he said certain conditions need to be met by prime minister benjamin netanyahu for him to stay in this emergency government's albany guns as the leader of disinterest punching national unity hit entity. this emergency government as part of the smaller vote having that together with his colleague a number 2 in the list of the item. quite old, both of them. in a former idea of official spending, guns was a form of defense minister and they made, you know, these important decisions for the past 8 months. but he said he wanted to see,

you know, a credit of a time to get the hostages back from garza. he wanted to see up of credible times. he said, for a golf for the day off the that doesn't come forward from that time. yeah. until now, and also he wants to see one of the 6 conditions. he put that the residence in the north of israel that have been displaced of to of tober. uh seven's, uh because of the cross 5 between husband law and is well in the north that they get a certain date until when the could be uh, coming back home. but nothing y'all has not responded to that and a de administer of any guns to set tonight. you know, they shouldn't be is ready, deserves more than empty promises. and they should be a coal for a new elections and for unity government. so what does this mean moving forward for benjamin engine? yahoos, government now or well,

this move doesn't really talk to his government. then you may not to know has really a solid government still in the connected. he has 64 seats. so this for in the short term at least, won't change anything, thought it might, you know, in the longer mid term, longer term. it will isolate and even a bit of, for the international and the but also domestically, if any guns was always seen from the international community as a part then also as a counterweight to the extremist in a been, you mean to, to know who's government like the far right, and ministers, but also other members of his li, could party in this government and domestically, you know, it could and that is still to see also give those onto government protest this now pushed because no, the only sense was voice in this government is leaving and that could also, of course, a change, a bit of the situation here. but again, we have to wait and see how this uh, with

a albany gotten some sophie student. he did very well in the polls. recently went down a bit. but his national unity party was always no stronger than benjamin netanyahu was the could party. so of course a going for elections is also something that he would be buying is, but at the moment it just clearly says, this country needs a different path forward to w, corresponded on your credit with the latest from jerusalem to night, many guns resigning from the government, it is real, tanya. thank. are you watching these up? the news is reminder of our top story, the center of europe and people's party led by european commission president are slipping. the lion like said the remains the biggest group in parliament here in germany. the far away a of the party has moved up into 2nd place behind the conservatives. while chances are all of shelter, social democrats suffered what could be their worst result ever. and in france, marine lands far away. national rally has won nearly

a 3rd of the votes president emanuel may call and has called snap elections as a result. it seems dw news for all of us here in berlin. thanks for your company. the
