addressing their images of the people voting at in paris, pulse and being open for a little bit over an hour in uh, in metropolitan friends there. um. and we will be bringing you all the latest from those elections throughout the day here on dw, let's go to paris and our dw sonya fall in the car is standing by for sonya. great to have you on the show. now you've been following the campaign closely. waterbean, the big issues, the french voters have been focused on what this feels like a very big moment infringe politics with the far right, closer to bellwood than it has ever been in modern times. and this is all that people sure i've been talking about. i was filming in the streets of virus this week, and people there mainly spoke about a sense of anxiety about the far right coming to follow what that could mean for

integration. what that could mean for bronzes, kind of open welcoming culture. but of course, it's a very different picture away from the big cities. i was also filming recently and go to the front, where there is a lot of support for that actually writing and provincial tones. and then, you know, people are kind of dissolution with other parties, the struggling with an illusion of public services. some for you, the neighborhood, something i would, you know, over on by immigrants like crime and there, right. i found a sense of hope about the far right, you know, actually coming to follow us. so i think we think about divided country today going to the potency. sonya president, my call took a that's a big gamble, calling this snap and action just a few weeks ago, of course, couldn't backfire on a with the suddenly a chance. i mean, the national riley is leading in all the opinion. polls that are samples that even suggest it could get an outright majority. but of course, the opinion polls don't tell the whole picture when it comes to this eviction. and

that is because most of the seats in the parliament will be the. so we'd be really decided in the 2nd frontal thoughts on july 7th. and at that time, you know, looters could switch loyalties. we could see new tactical agreements between parties to withdrawal of improving the funds since the other contend of this is a strategy that has been used in the boston products to block far right candidates higher than you for to, to, to an output also impact the vote so it's very difficult to see what the final results really could be. um, you know, but of course it is a huge amount of stake here with the selection for funds. the selection means electing a new government. new payment is stuck with, you know, kind of shape forming a domestic policy going forward. and of course, you know, whether my goal is gamble could backfire. that is certainly a question. i mean, if the mastery really does get an absolute majority in parliament, it would be the 1st time since world war 2, the fonts would have a fall, right, government. and that would really take the country into uncharted territory. will tell us how much of a change could we see in france if the far i do manage to win?

within recent days, the fall right measured riley has been sending off a series of active accusations involving it's spotty members, as well as supporters. the that has generated a lot of debate in funds. there was also going to be the books about some of the small contribution proposals, links to immigration, the party president joe done by the law has said he wants to limited migration will, to legal and illegal. he wants to strip national g rights of children born and raised in front by following patterns. this would be a departure from essential resort policy in front. he's also filled to the proposal of borrowing. do you will actual holding it will sensitive strategic speed jobs that would be with the prevent citizens that to spock? a lot of criticism here with, you know, some critics saying that would amount to filtering the range into different categories. so there are a lot of concern the field i think about hall fonts could change if the far right came to buy what rights groups have been seeing that many of the proposals i'd really discriminate 3 and an anti constitution tank. sonya for that updates. and so

he will be keeping us up to date general the latest in france as friendship voters go to the polls. sonya found the car in power. sports sports though and tournament whole tournament toasts. germany are through to the quarter finals of the european football championship that after a to know when over denmark, it's been years since jeremy last made it this far in a major tournament. funds are starting to dream of winning the title, i suppose is filled band zones. for the highly anticipated match, germany got off to a strong stats, but there early means him took a hit. when to ring to rain, sand, and lightning rocks, the stadium. 3 free pause play and seen the teams off in the 35th minutes. but 25 minutes of while with the sales to them since there is

a danish goal appeared to give them the lead. when play reviewed, the goal was rolled out of side and the game remained new just minutes later jim and he's kind of it screwed. a penalty putting the mouse in front theme, jamal, and we'll see ya, la, made it to new c municipal forces into wrench like the 1st time after 10 years the german soccer team is good again. so yeah, it's a great day. was very nice, very nice, very good. my. my heart was like bad. my memo was really send the looking to the future. i think we were when maybe i'm biased. i don't know, but i also got some old play of like pro, so you've got some young players like yourself. i'm good enough. think that just

connect them to generations as well. so i think it's pretty good. i think it's one of the best teams in the last. since then to work up there. germany will be hosting the clear skies and say here to the next round. mixed match will be against either spain or georgia. or for more on this, the to the sports correspond the daniel barcelona is joining me here in the studio . daniel, it was great to see if you were actually working partner in that report. their way to our colleague need to you were speaking to the fund. we're done with the find zone here in berlin last night. talk to us a little bit about the atmosphere there. well, i was in front of the german parliament and the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic . i mean, it has been throughout this tournament, but as it keeps going forward and germany keeps saying better and better, you can really feel the momentum starting to build yesterday. there was a little bit of nerves before the match. i'm not gonna lie, but there was a lot of x, excitement, anticipation, and when germany squared those goals,

it was like a total explosion. or we can see it there. everyone's so excited about this team. people who don't really even follow football. were there people who love football and everyone was altogether and even late into the night after the game was over, fire works on the street, cars everywhere, horns. it was amazing. oh, i know it was, you know, fairly and i was trying to get to bed early, but that wasn't happening. i knew i a germany that they were when their 1st knock out at game since 2017. right. so do you think this team actually has a to go the whole way and remember spanner playing there? well, the fan said that it's a james to ask that question, but it looks like big could have what it takes to go all the way. i mean, on paper they're very solid side, but we know that teams on paper doesn't necessarily translate into tournament like the euro is now. usually not because one has created a side that's very cohesive. all the players have really gotten into the roles. whether that be as a sub or as a starter, but their strength is in their depths. and he has players who have different

characteristics. you know, for example, yesterday we know that germany has struggled against sides to break down sides of sit compact defensively. so you and i was in, looks to his team and he says, okay, what do i need to do? i need to bring in some what? so he takes of it around and he takes me right on it and he brings him in. that shows he trusts his team is full team and they were able to create that width and sign a going at defenders opening the spaces between the danish defenders and ultimately provided them a good result. nickel slots are back also come in, getting and a system was yell a full crew coming into the game against which one scoring a decisive goal. so players on the bench plays on the pitch ready to step up when they're called upon. now they do concede a few too many chances against them. we still need to work on moving forward in the tournament, but they definitely look like they're firing on all cylinders right now. like you say, plenty of great players in the squad. this is a bit of a delicate subject to because of course you are a big at least find their raining, your pin champions. if we were knocked out of the tournament,

can we expect any more surprises? well, i mean, italy went out deservedly. we have to say they've been very lackluster throughout the tournament. unfortunately, the ones that hurts to say that, but it's kind of following the trend. we've also seen tournament favorites, like france and england be also extremely lackluster, really not getting out of their team. what they should be, they'd been able to leave flows at home, these teams and who would start on other teams in this tournament. and that being said, england later on taking on slovakia on paper looks like it would be an easy one. but the way they've been playing in the way this tournaments been going, we know that that's not the case. also, for example, tournament favorites. like george, i mean this might hurt you as well. but you know, 1st time in a tournament, 1st time making it to knock arouse. now spin, obviously clearly the better side. but georgia really have nothing to lose. we also saw that austria talking a group with france and the netherlands looking like a dark horse in this tournament. so i mean for football fan, seeing some upsets would be pretty nice. yeah, we'll see how it goes to the se. and uh, hopefully there's no toner store, matt,

i think the proceedings dw correspondence, daniel barcelona here with me in the studio are all right, switching topics now. and so here in germany there have been at seems of chaos as tens of thousands of people protested the annual conference of the far right alternative for germany or a f d party. some active as tried to stop delegates entering the venue on saturday in the western city of s and 2 police officers were seriously injured well, escorting a politician through the crowd. local authorities had tried but failed. a legal bid to stop the political conference from going ahead. police a several people were arrested tito who spoke to protesters outside the congress as the united against fascism. they chant tens of thousands have gathered an estimate to protest against the far right alternative for germany. but one was india. yeah. why are we here? because we're for human rights for tolerance because the a, f d, as in humane box,

it's been over time here because i can't stand that it's become normal to vote for the f d updates of in the if the presented alternative. but there is no alternative to democracy. it's been nearby this. um, i'm here because i hope you can push back this mounting fascism does not. also, i binder on at night some variable that history seems to be repeating itself on. only a short walk away from the main demonstration, blocked off by the police, a f. the delegates gather for their party congress. the euro skeptic party came 2nd to germany's european parliament elections, but scored less well than expected despite a string of scandals. the if the sees itself as the number one force in eastern germany and is gearing up for regional elections on an anti immigration tickets. i see a paul who is i'm, is a 40. what we need is an immediate turnaround on migration for to can stop. we need an immediate stop to naturalization. so under this hippy legislation,

we need the immediate deportation of 300000 people who are required to leave the country. criminals must leave immediately, but we need robust border controls, sending people back across illegally outside the congress. pensions are running high as the masses raise their voices for democracy and human rights and against prejudice. and hate. i'm fine. just get ready for some very cute images. berlin's who is looking for a name for a baby picnic info that has become an online star. millions of watched this video of the little one taking a bath and many has been asking what the hippo is called. well, you might be able to help because keepers are looking for a short name with a connection to berlin, and you can make your suggestion on this is social media channels. maybe dw use.
