the, the, this is deed of the news live from the land snap election in france back and dramatically changed its trajectory. the votes, easy amount of microns centrist phase, a major challenge from the far right. national riley that i'm are in the pen, which could when the majority of the national assembly for the 1st time, also coming up. the home, fans ecstatic as gemini, advanced, and the european championships. sony beats denmark in a dramatic game interrupted by turning rain and lightning will have a match rippled the

. i'm told me a lot about welcome to the program, photos and friends that going to the polls to choose a new polymer and for the european union, 2nd largest economy. the snap election was called by president amount of mcroy after his parties poor showing and recent european elections. the stakes are high for a centrist, the lines, a sample show the far right and national riley party could win an absolute majority . the cheese, the face of the french far right. and the pin, the one who's made the modern national riley party. what it is. but this is their party's top candidates 28 year old. drill down by the who could become francis 1st far. right? prime minister, in modern times, a national riley has surged in the polls on an anti immigration platform, but also promises to cut taxes and repeal president my calls controversial pendulum reforms was fine for you guys. so school day or getting poor. and they're looking

for stronger purchasing power. well, a better quality of life. pretty good. so if the national raleigh promise has done these things and then why not? this little name was, i'm see, i'm a bit scared of this national dream. the room on the assume that the lawyers will, they have good ideas, but i'm really scared mostly because i think i get quite resourced. and that's something i don't tolerate in was us and tweak fusions to pop up to other blogs are vying for power. one of them is the centrist alliance spearheaded by president my call. his supporters hope is gamble on an early election, pays off apple store. it's important to try to get back to some kind of variety, to at least what they can see their normal, the. so maybe not everybody does and to try to blog extremism like kidney. nowadays, we need to know we're at war. we would like to escape all of these every established order and have a cut in our situation. and the 3rd choice is the new popular front coalition

that includes far left candidates seizing on mac calls on popularity. the campaign was a short one that call and called the snap elections. and a surprise announcement just 3 weeks ago after the far right make gains in european elections. several polls have shown that the national riley has only continued its rise since then. a victory for them could lead to a centrist president, my call sharing power with a far right. prime minister, france is in suspense, and relief is still a ways off. the winners and losers will only be decided after a 2nd round of voting on july 7th. so is the selection playing out differently in french cities as opposed to rural areas? here's our powers correspondence. when they have found a car with frankly, the number one issue here is really whether the, the far right national riley, which was spend to use and the money enough and click the shed. it's extreme, this image, whether that party will inform the next government in fonts. that is the biggest

concern. here i've been speaking to both of here at the supporting station in central virus. and people have with the expressed a real sense of anxiety about the far right, you know, potentially taking over and what that could mean for, you know, the open. when can be cultural of pirates, but of course it's a very different picture away from the big cities. i was recently reporting a default right in hold of funds. and this is where it's coming from. the child support, right. does a lot of support there? people kind of dissolution with other parties, the struggling with winning public services. some of them complain about being overdrawn by immigrants and crime and they have, you know, you'll find great hope among people of the far right does get a shot. a couple of inc products and what do we know about the votes that turn out officials that goes in front. now show that at noon there was a to a note of 25.9 percent and that was a jump of 7 points from the last funded entry elections in 2022. that was,

that was quite big on the french media or seeing it is really the highest stone on the, for the, for, for the 1st round in legislative elections in 4 decades. so that just gives you a sense, i think, of just how crucial and high stakes these elections all with the pod right? you to, if we do have the gates of power here. me crucial high stakes, but a major gamble by present micron calling this snap election. could it back fire on him? or was the national gravity is really leading in all the opinion for some of the poles also giving them an outright majority. but i think we have to be careful the opinion polls don't really tell the whole story. and this is because we have to remember that most of the seats in the fridge fundament, we'd be decided not to run off more. on july 27th, we might see a rece there between 2 or 3 or even full content those. and they, you could see both those, you know, switching loyalties. the, with the tactical agreements between parties are going to withdrawal to improve the

tons of within the content of this was the strategy that has been used in the past in fonts to keep out for right candidates a higher than usually walter to not could also impact what so it's really very hard to see what the final result of this vote will be, but it's definitely a very high 6 election posted in micros gamble code to back file. if the measured body did gain an absolute majority, it would be the 1st time in fond since world war 2, that we would have a fluoride government in power. and that would be really taking funds into uncharted territory of correspondence. and if all the car and paris now let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. and gary and prime minister victor open has announced an alliance of populist european parties. the so called patriots for europe aim to form a new far right group into europe. and parliament could potentially also include germany's f d, along with organs on gary and civic alliance party. austria's freedom party and the check i know group have also signed the charter was sedans,

rapids simple forces say they've taken the key, the southeastern city of single witnesses, a thousands of flat, of the paramilitaries, who battles saddam's, regular army for more than a year was killed. tens of thousands and displaced millions, one of the wells west, $22.00 in the pricing. so when a more retain he is president mohammed old goes wanting looks at the remaining office professional results in the west african nations presidential election. show him holding a study lead with about half of the balance counted, he had just under 55 percent. that's more than twice the number of votes from his main rival. and the 7 people have been killed and dozens injured after a russian missile attack on civilian targets and ukraine, central's upper region re region 3. children are among the data according to the officials and the city of the ganske, creating the authorities say they're investigating the attack as

a war crime. just bullets, and there's been a big upset at the european football championship as switzerland be defending tompkins. it's an a tool now at the olympic stadium here in the land. when secured the place in the quarter finals, swift vans were overjoyed as the teams for the opener. in the 38 minutes and just dropped off time, they switzerland made it to new tale and spills and hit back to the swiss move on to face the winner of tonight's england versus slovakia much. it was also a less surprising and saturdays other match as host of germany beach denmark to now even so it's been years since germany last made it this find a major tournament. and fans, and now starting to dream big suppose is filled depends on so the highly anticipated match germany going off to a strong stats, but the early my maintenance. okay. when to ring to rain thunder and lightning

rocks the stadium, the re free pause play and seeing 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 the gym and these chi have it scrolled a penalty. putting the mouse in front theme, jamal, and we'll see all it made it to new, seeming new, supposes into wrench like the 1st time after 10 years the german soccer team is good again. so yeah, it's really great. it was very nice, very nice, very good. my. my heart was life and my memo was really sans and looking to the future. i think we were when maybe i'm biased. i don't know,

but i also got some old clear of like pro, so you've got some young players like selling goods enough thing 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 instance of woke up in germany will be, how things look serious guys and say, here to the next round. the mixed match will be against either spain or georgia, but mean a dw correspondent on your boss. and owner who also played professionally across europe. daniel, you followed the action from the funds on in berlin last night. describe the atmosphere? well, i was in the fans on the, with the fans on in front of the german parliament. and it was absolutely packed to capacity. i've been there a few times throughout the tournament, especially when germany's played and each time as they keep winning the momentum keeps building. i mean, you can see from these images, the atmosphere was electric. i mean, there was

a little bit of tension before the match. people were a little bit nervous, you know, knockout stage do or die. and, but i think that just build up the anticipation because when germany squared their goals, it was an explosion. and then even after the match the whole night in berlin, fire words, cars, horse and horns honking. it was unbelievable. is i can only imagine what will happen if they continue to end. yeah, i mean this the 1st time jimmy's done this well since 2017. how just, how good is this team? this site is a very impressive site, i mean, on paper coming in. they had one of the best sides on paper, let's say, but that necessarily doesn't translate into results on the page. now usually a non guzman has built a cohesive side, he's got the players to buy into their roles, whether that be as substitutes or in the starting 11. and now their strength is really in their depths, they have players that have a lot of different characteristics. so take last night, for example, we know that germany has struggled in the past to break down 5 that defend very

well. so now listening looks at his team and he says, what do i need to do? i need to create a little bit of width. so that i can stretch denmark defense, i can pull their players added position. so he starts david around and before i sign a 2 players that have those characteristics, and it shows not only that, you know, these players are ready to stuff up, but it shows that he trusts his full team. and it's important that they have these quality players ready to step up, because yesterday we saw they did generate a lot of chances. also in eco slots are back. who was new in the starting lineup. he gets in the system, was he all out? so in a intimate, it's important that he can rely on his full squad and they're firing on all cylinders. now. they probably can see it a few too many chances and they would like which they'll have to look at moving forward. but this is a very dangerous term inside. and speaking of teams that are good on paper, we saw instantly defending champions knocked out a bit of a shock. but could we see more of that? yeah, it really deservedly went home against a very strong switzerland side. and that's kind of been a trend in this tournament

a little bit. we've seen sides come in as favorites, like france and england, for example, who have been extremely lackluster and lots of criticism. you know, of these 2 teams england taken on. so back you later and on paper that looks like it should be easy, but given the way they've been playing on the way this turn of a has been going, that is not a guaranteed when of course we also have a fairytale, a team in georgia who is taking on spent, it's their 1st tournament, they make it to a knock around for the 1st time. they have nothing to lose. so they will fancy their chance is also an austria side who taught their group with friends and other ones. and it looking like a real dark horse in this tournament. so for the fans, it would be really nice if we saw some upsets and a separate know we saw last night's game of the did you have any game interrupted because of the, the, the rain, the very heavy rain, other concerns that that could be more of that as the, as these um games play out. i mean, it's been a little bit unfortunate throughout this tournament, especially so that we have not such good weather yesterday in the game. that was

was the lightning storm. that's something i haven't seen. i don't think i've ever seen that in football and that the effect is a little bit worse to the players because they had to, you know, warm up start playing, stopped playing for around 30 minutes. leave the pitch combat that it's a lot more difficult for the players there. now that being said, also i've been in fans on a few times where they've been totally full. and then because of the weather, all of a sudden they had to totally shut down the fans on which is unfortunate. but the fans honestly that i talked to yesterday, they said they don't care rein shine, they'll be there. then you know the possibilities of the correspondent. thank you very much. i and finally butlins who is looking for a name for a baby picnic. take me hippo that's become an online star, millions of watch the, a video of this little one taking a bath and many of been asking what the hippos called. well, you might be able to help keepers looking for a short name with a connection to building you can make you have a suggestion on those social media channels.
