turn their backs on democracy. and what does this mean for the upcoming next? the enemy within the july 12 on dw or 4 weeks ago, a french president's back crone looked at the results of the european parliament election. any saul to things his parties on the dismal performance juxtaposed against the strong numbers of the 4 rights it was that he announced snap for elementary elections in his own country. now if macro and wanted to voters to deliver a clear statement against the far right. well, he definitely got a statement, maureen la pins far right, and national rally was kept out a power a leftist alliance. apparently has been ushered into power tonight. confusion instead of clarity who really won the french election on board, golf and berlin. this is the day, the

only, the lessons of the votes are clear. the defeats of the presidents of the republic and these coalition is clearly confirmed. but a few minutes. once again, my called chose to throw friends into the arms of the far left. france is better than an alternative between neo liberalism and fashion. golf, illinois can, who's the big loser and who's the big winner? the big loser is and my new and my call also coming up to the people who say their city is changing beyond recognition protesters in barcelona. take aim at those behind the transformation, the tours by the data categories. most the i'm here to try and stop tourism from destroying people's lives into this because the people in these neighborhoods have

to leave because the prices for everything have risen so much jude to tourism one and 3 small intel reviewers watching on cbs in the united states and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin the day with a french president who wanted clarity, but instead got confusion. emmanuel macro on today refused to accept the resignation of his prime minister gabriella tall. the prime minister offered to quit after the surprise victory of a hastily assembled leftist alliance in parliamentary elections. president mackerel and asked prime minister, a tall to remain in the post at least temporarily. a tall said yes, the left is new popular front, one a 182 seats and succeeded in its goal of preventing the far right national rally from gaining power. the national rally was in fact force into 3rd place with only a $143.00 seats despite expectations that it would repeat its 1st round. when

president emmanuel microns centrist together coalition, it came in 2nd with a $168.00 seats. big numbers there, but no group gained an absolute majority. no political party has an automatic claim to lead a new parliament for france. this could be the politics of paralysis of celebrations in paris. as the far right is defeated at the pools by the left wing phone, pop you there. the new popular front the makeshift coalition of left wing parties came in 1st place in the surprise for posters and a relief for their candidates. not too good. are people have clearly ruled out the worst case scenario since wow this evening. so the national riley is far from having the absolute majority of the commentators were predicting a week ago. quite the contrary to man

who did see that had been a month of suspense for france. after centrist president emanuel mack hall called snap elections in a bid to catch a rising far right off guard and challenged them at the ballot box. the 1st round of votes did put me in the pens, anti immigration national rally party on track to win with some surveys predicting and outright majority. but after the centrist block collaborated with the left block, pull their support, they managed to pull off a shock, the feet of the far right. some national rally, supporters watching the results couldn't believe their eyes. quote, i thought we were going to have at least $250.00 impedes. so i'm disappointed the big small. it's true that the crowd locked in the popular front joint forces to block the national rally. so yes, a lot of people voted for a barricade. the french were like beavers blocking the national rally, and it's

a shame because they didn't vote for ideas. they voted against ideas. these are what they visited. the jury is still out on whether or not cold got what he wanted from his big gamble block came in 2nd place. and the centrist prime minister, gabrielle atalla, with whom i call, had governed side by side, announced his resignation sunday night. but when he went to mac, calling to make good on his promise, president told him to stay on temporarily as prime minister for the sake of stability. it's the 1st salvo and what promises to be a heated debate over who's in charge of the left is the biggest for us and the divided parliament. the choice of prime minister is ultimately and michael is hands on. why 1st guess tonight is cecille we? she is a professor, a french with a focus on french politics at stanford university today, and she joins us from the great french city of paris. it's good to have you on the

program, my the we, we know the president macro and he roll the dice by calling this snap election. it was a gamble. was it a gamble that he lost as desperately g as lost? so last year's majority is now 2nd, the probably meant be of loss more than a $120.00 sees as now is accredited without power. the french prosecution gives executive power to the prime minister. uh, that is supposed to be from the majority program. and so now we're going to have a system where the president from one blog and possibly a prime minister in government with a very different kind of policy. so he has lost the ability to do what he wanted to do to apply his agenda and to lead for the next few years. so what do we know did about the left wing alliance, the national or the new popular fraud, which came in 1st. how, how will it,

or how would it govern if it manages to actually put a prime minister in place? it was going to be difficult. you know, now we have 3 blogs which approximately have the same number of c, e, poly minutes are no clear majority and with this, the inability possibly to pass laws and legislation. however, the new popular union has said, what they are going to do is go measure by measure and try to negotiate coalitions on specific policy points. for instance, clean energy or free school supplies for children to just made it to that were mentioned yesterday. so it's going to be difficult to have a clear agenda that will accomplish everything that they are hoping to be able to pass legislation for smaller i is. the new popular front includes our viewers may not know this, but it includes the communist party of france,

their communist party, which wants. and i'm quoting here, to overcome capitalism. so when you read that, when you hear that you have to wonder, has france just rejected one group of radicals to only open the door to another group of radicals or not really, the french communist party is no longer, you know, wanting to overcome capitalism. it was, it worked her state with the state intervention and more social equality among citizens. and it's been a long time to become is freddy, is not the leading force on the left in france and they have, they are now actually much more center then they used to be just 20 years ago. so they, they are on the screen, corrosion and they have some pretty significant measures their agenda, including to raise the minimum wage to of 1600 years for instance, and to tackle environmental issues. but it's not the same nature of

the vitality of the far right. which wanted to retreat from the european court of human rights to rewrite the press constitution and to create a sub group of 2nd to your citizens who would not have access to the same jobs. but it's very different in nature for the kind of run a gallery. but professor you whitney, what had the agree with me that the the communists or the these these left as they would not have received this type of voters support. had the voters not been in their intent on blocking the far right? absolutely. that's actually one of the trickiest point is that no one wants yesterday except maybe democracy because the term that was, you know, tremendous. so lots of voters went to the origin. that's a good sign for acting, a vibrant, i'm a democracy,

but there's no clear agenda that people really valued around. they voted against most of the time. so there's no clear line of way of fresh motors, one things to go from now on. if we look at the number of votes that each party, each group receive just an absolute numbers here it was the far right national rally, the party that received the most votes in this election. so we can say moving forward, morrila pens, party is actually the largest political party in france right now. and yet they did not win this election. is this going to feed into a narrative, a victim hood? will the national rally? will they be able to garner even more support by claiming that thanks to the tactics we saw in this round devoting our victory was stolen? are there, there is a this narrative going around a ray of a still in the election? not to the degree that preston,

the trunk supporters did it and acted upon into in 2020. however, there is this feeling of disconnect between the 1st round of the election where the national valley king 1st with a very high number, 34 percent of the both. it's multi parties in system where it's really hard to get that height number. and now we are going through quickly however, we should recognize that the king from 89 congress, people 260 a thing today. yeah, it's a, the huge number. it's never been that strong. so mean, do you, do, you know, it's a, everything can do lots of different angles from positive or negative perspective. big grades in the way, they've never had that many congress representatives and congress professor cecile, i believe, from the stanford university. joining us tonight from paris, we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. thank you.

people in ukraine are coming to terms with the horrors of rushes. largest air strike in one small scale fired dozens of missiles and multiple cities across the country, killing more than 30 people. ukraine's military says that it's air defense has managed to shoot down most of the missiles, but not all of them bringing tragic consequences for the children of key. a lot you're seeing is a russian me. so the explosion came from ukraine's largest children's hospital and faces the aftermath doctors, nurses, volunteers, and emergency services searched for victims, a terrifying ordeal for survivors. the white

children. for some reason we always thought that of my deed was protected. we were simply a 100 percent. sure that they would not hit here under turn died? well, it turned out the way it turned act tough for the north and we managed to get most patients act to safety. except for those who were most ill, we stayed with them during the strikes and for the aftermath of the patients were forced to evacuate the hospital after at last water, oxygen and electricity keeps. mayer said the sold was one of the worst since russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine over 2 years ago. genocide of population, the brain is right now the whole world see how russian visuals and give me guys, the drums cubes, ukrainian citizens, presidents, a lot of mirrors, the landscape said to more than 40 minutes. so i was targeted 5 ukrainian cities,

the by raj, struck apartment buildings and public infrastructure. ukraine says it's intercepted, 30 minutes of russia has been night targeting the hospital saying it was hated by fragments of ukrainian air defense me saw speaking in poland, where he was signing a security deal savanski dismissed at moscow. denial. oh is, is that a see? it should take you. so you're already seeing reports that ukrainian air def answers to blame green skippable on the i'm not there calculated strike you have done, but i'm grateful to all the ukrainians. kind of look ahead, started posting videos where you can see on specifically not a part of bass or that miss out her. i can't put a direct to me. so striking the injured and killed many people in ukraine today. we've done not the day of a greenish award. this is the landscape also viable retaliation. the un security

cancer site it will meet to discuss the attacks. the roles are likely to feature highly on the agenda at a nato summit in washington on tuesday. the ukrainian president is expected to attend and to make another plea for more support the water pistols were fully loaded and at the ready in barcelona over the weekend as restoration at over torres and boiled over holiday makers were forced to take shelter inside to avoid being so thousands of demonstrators marched in protests at the sheer number of tours coming to visit. barcelona explains most visited city, some 12000000 people come every year. the protesters say that has led to a lack of housing and soaring rent prices for residents. maybe try to come through

these most the i'm here to try and stop tourism from destroying people's lives into this because the people in these neighborhoods have to leave because the prices for everything have risen, so much jude to tourism. when would you? the reason why we don't see that i'm going see again, my stories persona, the last years the sleeping has turned completely or thoughts on what we want you to see for citizens. i know the and service of stories we need sustainable tourism that allows people to live off tourism, but doesn't prevent residential from living then normal life. and for more now i'm joined by carmen arcada and so she's the spokesperson of the barcelona tenants union. she's also in urban and housing research or at la utila institute. just call me it's good to have you with this. i understand you were born and raised in

barcelona, so you're the right person to, to pose this question to, i mean help us understand what it means to have 12000000 people torres come to your city every year. how does that affect your life? yes. so do i live in like berkeley unit change a lot? know basically, and there's spaces of the city that we no longer have it housing prices have been skyrocket. the they have more than doubled in the past 10 years. and in general, you see that a lot of people around this are having jobs related reason which are extremely big areas. they're the worst paid jobs in the city. so basically like we're losing a sense of what leaving the market on that is because a lot of other getting expense policy and the ones that remain leaving world conditions. do you feel like barcelona is still your city or do you feel like it

isn't anymore? you know, i this as the b and b like give you the cd and that's exactly why a 1000 people went on to the 3 to actually claim that we need a change in the cd. now, i think it's important to understand that all of these causes that have been being played against stories as individuals. but what they're questioning is whether it is sustainable ha, a cd based on an economy that is like a model culturally, solely based on to reason. it has a lot of externalities, as we think we need to switch to a much more favors model that they run away from tourism because too many back by name, but we're well live. let me, let me ask you. um, so it's a, we'll see and not the cities our we actually 12 bytes so that our children can

also live in murphy. lona, what about? what about your children? the next generation, if you wanted to buy an apartment right now in barcelona, what are the chances of that apartment, that real estate being affordable? a yes, phrases are like style rather d m actually at these rather published research, which says that 7 out of $1010.00. and we'd never even heard of the house. we're a part of the house. the level of the real estate markets are completely impossible when we see you said houses are mainly bought by either very, very high, high income people like rich people or really investors. okay. so basically what we do is the real estate are very much connected. they are

making the city on a horrible, so not even the future generation. we've seen high rent brazza's down in the best thing years. so yeah, we're sending have a wage in in housing accident. and i'm sure a lot of people can, can relate to what you're saying. i mean, all over the world, especially over tourism, we know what it means for real estate prices. and i know that you want that to change. but, you know, the one story that's been getting a lot of attention if you've had people from barcelona using water, pistols, and shooting at holiday makers, torres in the city to make a point. is that the right way to, to make positive change as well? i see that these products are really every saying no way that after so many years, people like boiling out and bottling at the front the, there's people not only going the streets in barcelona, but everywhere around the same is the same. that because it makes fully additions

like not be able to like look away, but like have to come from the brother. i think the, the, the brothers have been extremely, be like the school. i don't see like water be so is that i make anyone afraid. but i, the thing is an interesting question because i think the problem is that all is well understood like it's not like the series of individuals bother it, which so might, buddy, the question is the see. so like tourism is a better model of the reason for the 3 main reasons. not to mention the housing gracie right here, example, it shifts to apply a way for like stable housing on a branch, there's the market to present. so i, so one to the job, the tourism 3 are very bad. they actually the w 2 through the like the workers are

half of the cities, average weight really, really the worst job. i'm 3rd, we're in atlanta and the emergency. and the reason is high and sustainable. ok. i think people are the single the individual tourist, but on like actually questioning our own government. like would you be willing to address reason right now? what about your me or the mirror? barcelona he once or she, but i just read the mirror of barcelona wants to band or they're all the same may or that is actually and now serious thing apartments use the same one that made the airport bigger. right? so we can rule in like air like airport, i have more flags coming in because there's just no more room. yeah m and also for example who is is not and we have the flu, she the i really polluting and they're floating in the sea. and so

we should limit that, and i think something that the other cities will have is a l, b and b is a problem and very certain rentals are a problem. but we also have a huge problem with steve. the rentals noise source, but the living dollar return me the whole thing and sort them expert in specially digital moment. so the people that moving towards the for like 3 or 4 months, they have a much higher per crazy 1000. the then the population, the, the housing market regulation basically allows them to steve rent, but so as you rented a linux for the moment, they gonna rent it out for a much higher price is the ones that we will cover. i, you're incentivizing, we are market. yeah. i'm just raising people real. i heard that i heard that your city, i hope that you can find

a solution that will make the economy sustainable for everyone. i mean, i've been to parcel and many times i think it's one of the best cities in your best cities on the planet. um and yeah, let's hope that a solution can be found to the benefit of everyone. karma, colorado spokesperson, the barcelona attendance union. we appreciate your time tonight. thank you. thank you. good 9. but the day continues online, you'll find this on ex, formerly known as twitter, and on youtube videos, you can follow me of rent dot tv. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day. thanks for the company. everyone will see you next time the
