a political shock. the nobody had been expecting the french president, addressing the nation announcing us about parliamentary election. you'll have somebody more less than that. i have lots of political gambling that came off the exit. polls had revealed his pockets, he was on calls for hammering at the hands of the far right national rally because you don't see it. so this is you. this is a serious and a way to decision. but above all, it isn't active trust trusting you, michelle. my data competitor, you, that's up in the ability of the french people to make the justice choice for themselves and for future generations. and the sas announcement follows an election challenge from this man showdown bond to the president of the national valley policy to describe macro. and as it weakens precedence, as he called for him to take the country to the poles in front of jupiter, imparts a simpleton. p in poverty lead the movie,

la pen had been benting on growing public frustration with the french president and his policies to deliver a result to the fall of books and then now focused on securing the even big victory . do some good. we are ready to exercise paula, if the french draws to talk to you in this future legislative selection. so we are ready to rebuild the country, ready to put an end, to must immigration, ready to make the purchase impossible, the friendship priority. read it to begin the conference rate industrialization. hey, i'm just curious as to underpaid. and the bottom line. so what comes next? stone read the being drawing these on the far right protestors in paris is plus to the republic. giving the 1st indication of the fight to heads a fight that the french president has cast as a struggle to the soul of the country and

dw correspondence. sonya public joins us now from paris. sonya tell us how people in france. so reacting to more columns, decision to call a snap parliamentary election. when terry fonts still really are from that political conduct lab a some people killed according to get an absolutely size make announcements by pressing micro to call snacks and they just need the connections. often his body supp owed to relating to see the hands of the far right measured riley, in your opinion, actions yesterday. and of course, this is absolutely been dominating the headlines here in fonts to be one fraction use tape, of course, from across the decision leap into the unknown. another conflicts and extreme gamble. and the studying announcements has one ready, you know, kind of kick started the political campaign for these parliamentary elections, which is scheduled on june 30th and july, 7th. the far right. national riley has already announced 20 total drilled on board,

but they know we'd be, it's contained for appointment to start monday. those of course was the lead candidates for the mastery riley in these european elections. he is a huge leap up and other he's the, he's a protege of somebody in the pin. he's seen here as the, you know, slicks, a new face of the fall of age 5. right. and he is especially popular with, with young voters. he has a huge one. are we going to take talk over median up on was there and he's really seem is kind of media savvy and dynamic, but many people here. is there any sense? sonya that many of them a call on had been planning this moved to call snap elections given that the far right was expected to do so well or do at least very well in the selection or what do you think we can zoom the preston? ma crowell had seen this coming, but he probably had planned as responds in above. and that's just because the election results gets to be almost completely replicated. the opinion forms that

we've been seeing him from for many weeks now. so i think we can kind of assume that you probably have time to consider it as options. but i think the fundamental problem here, of course, is that my call, who is, you know, maybe 2 years into the 2nd tell him is president, is really have strong in the bridge parliament on the national assembly. he has no majority david. so getting any bill to has been a real struggle with his minority government has to be already can be used a constitutional provision to force they just nation through without a vote. they did that with raising the retirement age, not still from 60 to 64, and that was accidentally pro prompted homes with anger in france. it was led to accusations that he's been, you know, bypassing poly mentioned, googling an on democratic memo. so i think yes, these announcements was kind of because we're seeing the situation is really untenable. i need more clarity of and is addressed yesterday. he said he couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. he said he had heard the message of the french

and the concerns. a lot of people are wondering what sort of strategy is behind a manual. the cause move here. is he hoping that the central, right, the central aft will now maybe start working together to avoid having a prime minister from the far right national assembly as well. this announcement has, i have to say already spock the scramble among political parties and problems this morning to figure out ways to, to keep the fall right from, you know, increase the shadow seats in bottom. and we heard from the french foreign minister, step on stage was meeting this morning. he is a member of my cause central standards on spotty. and he said he would be happy to work with any candidates, you know, willing to, to work together to defeat the fraud. right. we put that from the list as well. that stalk of building a so called popular front to keep out the far right. but it's widely economics, and there are huge disagreements and, and division parties. a french walters, a bully,

closed rags to elect the so called a court on sunday tale fire war to keep the frame stripe out the flower the far right of the follow. and the question now is whether, you know, that's is a short political observers. i'm not so sure anymore. and that is because of course, the far right, national riley, which is anti immigration, the nationalist has really kind of re branded itself as a mainstream party, but didn't depend samples to dial in, you know, some of the more likely conflicts of the box, the, some of the races and, and anti semitism it has been associated with in the past. so, so i think it has presented itself with this kind of philosophy lieutenant, to traditional parties. and i think there is no longer a stigma attached to to watching football right in front as we sold in those lectures yesterday. sonya, thank you very much. that was our correspondence. sonya finally come in parent as

well, despite considerable games for the far right in the netherlands, austria and germany, the central right to europe and people's party is poised to remain the biggest party in the european parliament. that's the party of europe in commission. president russell, up on the line, who's seeking the 2nd term on their line and promise the e p. p. would build a best and against extremes. but on the campaign trail, she refused to roll out, cooperating with members of the hard drive like italy's georgia milan got done with others. we will build a best should i go see extremes from the last ad from the right way. well, some boots are still being counted, but we are getting a much clearer idea now of the future make up of the european parliament. let's take a look at the e p. p remains the biggest group as we mentioned in the projected new parliament. the central right block includes parties like germany's christian democrats and

spain's people's party. but the biggest swings or the ends of the political spectrum with voters turning their backs on europe's green parties and looking towards the identity and democracy group. it includes far, right, nationalist and populous parties, many of the euro skeptics, but the right wing group expelled germany's far right. a f d party earlier this year, following the various scandals to well here to help us make sense of this year being parliamentary or election with join. now in the studio by d. w as chief international editor, richard walker. what's your, what are you might take away from this european parliamentary election? oh, well, i think terry and we, we, we've obviously been talking a lot about friends. we saw the shots that with, with a look at the policies. i think the big picture is that you sent you do have games on the far right, but it's not a completely uniform picture. for instance, here in germany that would gains for the f d. the alternative for germany in neighboring poland. uh, the law and justice policy, a made losses and so not

a complete uniform picture. what's on the progressive side of politics? this certainly has been a kind of a shift away from progressive some more towards the center. right. but you do see variation there as well. so you see green parties suffering. most of them. you see social democrats suffering for instance. i think broadly, what you can see in a lot of countries is this, this kind of mid term phenomena like european elections are treated in a country where, um, if it falls in the middle of the time as a national government, then of course it will be it will be treated like a mid term election often is in united states, for example, where the, the governing possible get punished. right. i think that's going back to what you do see though, and i think this is going to be really important going forward. and we've talked about funds quite a bit, it's empower shift happening within the you. we see that manual. and my call is we couldn't coming out of this selection. but he's now called another election which could run the risk of we can to him even further. we see left schultz, we could already eating a we coalition, we can still fund that, not

a single policy in all of sholtes is governing coalition here in germany was as strong as the a f d on the far right. so you have these 2 extremely important vegas in, in europe weekend who is going to get stronger on the other side of the coin. well, georgia, maloney in italy is looking strength and at this point and also in poland. don't know to ask the residents recently as a ride prime minister in poland, twos who's a century center right? well, so looking strongest. so you may have a shifting influence within europe in long and in the coming years away from france and germany and potentially towards countries such as was if the empowerment. what about policy research? i mean, but in, in practical terms, when the other countries are looking to the european union as a blog, can we expect to make policy policy changes to result from this election? do you think, i mean, it's a bit at least to say, because a lot is going to depend on the makeup of the, of the,

the way the pass structures of the european union respond to this result of the selection. who loves the commission for instance. but i think there are 2 areas that are really going to be interesting to, to watch. um, one would be climate action. so that in recent years there's been a lot of effort by the european union really speak level lead to on climate. there's a lot of pushback from that, particularly from the far right. and this is trickling through into sense of right politics as well. so what happens that and also migration you see similar phenomena that these 2 issues, migration and climate change becoming really kind of cultural issues, but also kind of really help us in policy issues too. and of course, they have a major consequences for people around the confidence the european commission will be choosing will in europe, will be choosing as new commissioners, including the present of the european commission. soon. what's left on the line wants another term as presidents, a very powerful post,

obviously. uh. do you think she has a good chance so after the selection of, of getting a 2nd term? yeah. so it's not looking bad for her at the moment, but there are a couple of hurdles to clear that she needs support with national leaders. she needs a majority in the european parliament. a lot of focus will be about how she goes about getting that majority and, and there was a lot of speculation about this already through the course of the campaign. and it focus on whether she would um, focus her support on the century's parties of husband to write blogs of the liberals of the social democratic kind of groupings, the center left with it. that's the roots of her majority, the roots in federal authority, or whether she opens up a little bit to some on the, to the right. and the, the real focuses on the georgia maloney again who we just mentioned earlier. whether it was a lot on the line is going to be really opening to, to cool pricing with a multi. so that's gonna be something to watch. and the days ahead from the lines

being quite a big us about it, she was ambiguous about it last night so we just don't know the answer to that yet . but i think that on the lines against a judge and maloney is going to be very important figure to watch and the is the right has been strengthened, but still many question marks remain richard walker or chief international have sure, thank you very much. here in germany, the fluoride alternative for germany has swept past all 3 parties in the governing coalition to take 2nd place behind the conservatives. the european election is being seen as a referendum on the national government wide spread. this but the satisfaction with germany's current political leadership has put the christian democrats in poll position, or germany's a sd celebrate seed showing in european parliamentary elections. the found right party is projected to take 2nd place ahead of the governing coalition. the a f d campaign doing an e u skeptic, anti immigration platform, despite

a series of scandals in the run up to the pilot support for the policies up from the last elections. we have 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 win is look sent to be the send to right christian democrats. currently in germany's opposition, the cd you said voters have sent the chancellor clear message. you to say, i keep this. most of this result must really give the federal government imposed for told it must now correct its policy and political changes needed in germany. and i call on the federal transfer, 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 at the night, germany's ruling social democrats, the johnson, this party is facing its west result in decades. but it's not giving up the fight. or does the son of tech so i let him know if it's a mission for all democrats of in months 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 aspirations few. now the greens who are in a 3 way coalition with the s b d, but also facing a major drop in support. the stages now being set for key regional elections later this year in several german states where the far right is also expected to make

gains despite their recent scandals. all right, a f t e emerged as germany, 2nd strong, his party and the selection. here's the w chief, political correspondent, nina has a on why the a thing has been so successful to it is the best result in a nation wide poll, yet as and say as they were founded. so the a, if the have lead to contain focusing on what the vast majority of them and say is a pull performance of the government in balance across the board. only one in full, a $1.00 and $5.00 demons are satisfied with love. so it says government inflation, germany's racks, interest is war and ukraine, migration. all those. what among the top issues for german voters this time around . and you have to say that the a d had the most radically a post standpoint and compact to the government that consists of the social democratic readings and the ftp. so there is an element of protest vote that explains the success. but it does go further than that. it's also true that the

vote is really don't seem to be bothered about the fact that there are right wing extremist among high ranking members of the of the federal court has ruled that you can cool one of the leaders of fascist and the 2 top candidates for the year elections were implicated in all sorts of scandals and in this campaign, riley and the voters, the if the voters were then aust, i'm whether they will but bothered about the fact that the route right. we xtreme is an 82 percent said no. so there are people who choose to vote a steve full, that radical positions to and the divide between east west is extremely striking. and of course the dc thought as taylor and so those important regional elections later this year. the f t also made steep games among young voters in germany. that's the demographic that many parties are trying to reach. what makes the the so appealing for the younger generation or?

well, i do believe that there are 2 factors here. one young voters are also unhappy with the government in berlin. they also don't have the loyalty to those established political parties like the parents generation. so they're much more likely to vote radically or smaller parties. and to hear it in germany, the ac has been very active on social media from day one, including on platforms like take talk. and that is something where the old policies are lagging behind and not not trying to catch up. you know, thank you very much. that was their chief, political correspondent, need a harsh sketch up on a few other stories making headlines around the world today. south korea has restarted loud speaker, propaganda broadcasts along its border with the north, its in response to the campaign by appealing yang of sending trash carrying balloons southwards. can your young north korean leader kim jong ones? sister warned the self that south korea was creating a prelude to

a very dangerous situation. authorities in brazil have declared an environmental emergency after raging wildfires. threatened to trigger a drought and profit go wetlands. the pants and all region has been grouped by its worst blazes since 2020 week range of disruptive seasonal flooding, contributing to the fires o g b t q plus demonstrators, and venezuela has stays to protest against the legs discrimination at a caracas mall. this came after a gay couple were originally told by security personnel to start holding hands in public. the protest ended in monitors, couples with police. india is private, a cert, a render moody has been sworn in for 3rd term. a ceremony in delhi. for the 1st time, he'll have to rely on coalition partners to govern. after his in doing this was b. j. p. failed to secure an elf rights, which are styles who is real and minister benny guns says,

announced his resignation from prime minister, bending many minutes. now it was emergency, government guns were, has said that he was leaving his post with a heavy heart, also called for elections. guns joined. nothing you know, whose government shortly after the october, 7th from us attack and show of unity guns. his resignation had been expected since last month when he gave doesn't know who and ultimate them to prove a post more plan for gossip is departure leaves. nothing else you more reliant on this far right. i'm condemned. i need to hold on the guns called his departure, an agonizing decision. there's more of what he had to say. it's only unfortunately connected. 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 cutting it today. we live with a heavy heart. but with

a whole heart, we present ourselves today to the bottle for the fates of the state of israel, for generations to come. the door could be. so what does the resignation of any guns mean for an s and yahoos government? here's the w as rebecca rivers in jerusalem as well. it's unlikely to have any immediate domestic political effect. terry, he's still a bit benjamin that now he's still hold a full st. majority, but it will have more power to the file. right. members of his coalition, particularly, it's my been v, one of the ministers who often been against may this announcement last night and cold for him to be on out into the wall cabinet now remains to be seen whether benjamin netanyahu will allow that to happen. we're hearing room is that he's more likely to dissolve the whole cabinet at this stage. so it's unlikely to have a real domestic pressure. unlike what some people may have been expecting or not. following the story closely is that it would tell the government of pop and that

that he would no longer hold the majority. but that isn't the case. it may well dense for the day and i should say israel's international standing because the bidding guns most interest administer in this arrangement was seen to hold views that were more uh, what the us, what key ally us one more aligned with. and therefore, keeping the as rated government, you know, holding some, some international standing and some negotiating has with us being able to, to talk with these members. now what we're seeing is we'll see a further move to the right. it's not been me, is notoriously pro resettling is riley settlements in gaza. he's absolutely vehemently cold for ne fi that would lead to a permanent into this conflict without a mustang and tiny eliminated. he's pro annexation of, of westbank and he's looking towards living on, i'm beginning a conflict an all out war on that from the so we could well see

a benjamin netanyahu forced to, to listen more to the small rights actions of his government. the us secretary state anthony blinking his travelling to israel today this will be his 8th visit in recent months. the us has been pushing for a cease fire and gaza. what can we expect from lincoln's visit? i think precisely that terry, he's going to be speaking to all parties involved or negotiating sides. and of course, coming to israel to speak with members of these ran the government and also we, he still be speaking to benny guns despite the resignation of yes today. and he'll be speaking to the opposition later on the president if that cuts out. so it definitely top of his agenda, the really, the key issue that he's bringing here is some attempt to try to get this, these peace negotiations. or i should say 5 to you back on the table and towards

a towards, you know, completion towards getting it across the line. we've been hearing from reuters news agency reporting that her mouse has been putting pressure on the us to try to israel to agree to a deal that would lead to a permanent stays fine, indicating that perhaps they would be willing to get on board. but as we've seen with numerous iterations of these a piece agreements or the cx 5 deals, i shouldn't call it a pace agreement. is that, that difference between the 2 sides of what is ro saying that it wants to, it will not agree to anything that leads to opponent sci fi and we've got from us on the other side saying it want to agree to anything that doesn't. rebecca, thank you very much. the w is rebecca rivers there injuries which you are watching dw news. just reminder of our top story this our french president manual that com is called snap legislative election. so after a heavy defeat in european union collections is centrist alliance was crowned supply. marine depends. all right,
