from within the ranks. now he is going to have to face him. ,t is likely this new party popular mandate, might take on a unitye from the popular and might have to take a mandate from the president to try to form a coalition government. not really what alex tsipras had in mind when he called -- resigned for elections. anchor: thank you for that, reporting from the greek capital. besides an economic crisis, greece faces a migrant crisis. a record number are writing on the shores everyday. it has prompted macedonia to declare a state of emergency. the clashes friday. police had a standoff with about 3000 trying to cross into the country. the border has become a funneling point for thousands

trying to find a better life in europe. 3000-strong crowd made several attempts to charge the macedonian police at the border who used stun grenades and teargas to push them back. at least eight people were injured in the panic. some showed their wounds. these people are trying to cross to macedonia from greece, which has seen an unprecedented wave of migrants this year. u.n. figures show more than 50,000 arrived in greece last month alone, more than the whole of 2014. the majority have been fleeing war and the conflict in syria and afghanistan. we don't have a problem with crossings for syrians. today, that is what happens.

we don't prepare for this. more than 3000 or 4000 are coming. what can macedonia do? they know we are the only crossing. the border between greece and macedonia has until now been porous. the vast majority of migrants want to have two more prosperous northern european countries. for sidonia says the police and army will be called in -- macedonia says the police and army will be called in to stop the massive influx from greece. anchor: jean-marie le pen has gotten the boot from the party. they have decided to criminally banish the 87-year-old. his daughter and party president has been trying to distance the party from its openly racist and anti-semitic image. he is not going quietly. >> expelled from the party he

built from the ground. he no longer has a place in the national front. for months, his daughter and current party leader has been striking a delicate balance between showing loyalty to her father while distancing herself from his extreme views. but this spring, he repeated his opinion that nazi gas chambers were a " detail" of history. >> we see this as a media strategy. the doctrine of the national front has not changed drastically except for anti-semitism which is frowned upon within the national front now. >> the party is gaining more mainstream support, positioning itself as an anti-immigrant force offering protectionist economic policies. alls show marine le pen growing favorite for the elections -- presidential elections. but he has remained a thorn in her side. she suspended her father in

april. a month later, he took to the stage and invited at the party's may day rally. after thursday's decision, she told french media -- he told french media he felt trapped, the victim of an ambush. he says he will fight the decision in court. anchor: for more on this story, we can speak with the professor of french politics and head of french studies of athens university. thank you for taking the time to speak with us. this is mean the end of jean-marie le pen in the national front? >> family feuds, like civil wars, can be the most bloody. this shows no signs of hostilities coming to an end. it is unclear at this moment whether the sanctions brought against le pe yesterday will even standn. he has every intention of appealing. we need to remember he has appealed three times already

with the new look of marie le pen. in terms of popular support, it does not seem to have had much effect at all. we will tell in december when the elections come along. at the moment, people seem less concerned by this than the media and political class. anchor: you mentioned the new look of the national front by the current leader and daughter, marine le pen. have the changes been cosmetic or have we seen fundamental changes? , ther close watchers changes have been more of her style -- more about style than substance. the policies remained largely what they were under jean-marie le pen, anti-islamic, anti--e.u. there have been changes in a number of areas, but the language and frame of reference

have changed, but not really the core ideas and values. the main difference is not a disagreement over what it believes in. it is a disagreement of what it should be for. is it for protest and anti-system opposition? that is jean-marie le pen's position. is it prepared to make compromises required for power? that is marine le pen's position. anchor: thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. we are going to cost to bangkok. a ceremony has been helping to be of the victims of this monday's bomb attack. birds were released as people took part in the gathering as they remembered the 20 who died in the blast in thailand's worst ever attack. authorities have tripled the reward to $85,000 for information leading to the arrest of the main suspect. the capital is in

intelligence services having no clue or idea about its being planned or who could be behind it. people, especially the victims and families, starting to get concerned they may not find a person responsible. today, the military government went on television and said they would think about pressing charges against people that spread what they said were false information or confusing information on social media. in many senses, that confusing information -- similarly confusing information is coming from the authorities. no resolution on why this terrible tragedy took place earlier this week in bangkok. anchor: that was ishmael wolf reporting from the thai capital. mercury is on the rise. the first seven months of the year were the hottest ever recorded. the month of july will talk them all -- top them all. italy,ed fountains in

these are less -- this one is less supportive talking about how they bring are held hostage by the election. campbell is a word you will find in a lot of articles -- gamble is a word you will find a lot of articles. this is the english language version. they are talking about a gamble for stability. the paper is not very optimistic and accuse tsipras of seeking elections as a way out essentially. he wants to avoid having to take responsibility, and that is why he is holding elections. it is a tactical move, according to the paper. but the problem, according to the paper, is he is not sincere. can you remember the referendum he held only to ignore. do lessr says we will chances are high will find ourselves in the same economic and political deadlock we are in today. anchor: we have a focus on the marie -- the penn family circus

and chain. that is her father, who represents the old party. this says she has managed to kill her father symbolically. this will be good for the party's image and make it a viable option for many voters. anchor: all of a sudden, the saga is over? >> it says don't write jean-marie le pen off yet. he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. he might be 87. he is tough as nails. you might have lost this battle. some are predicting he will wage total war on his daughter. essentially, he is threatening to set up a new party that could draw voters away from the national front. he is going to crash the national front's annual summer conference that will be held in september. he will probably still be a ball and chain for some time to come. anchor: in france, we have a promise from the french president over taxes. >> this week, he promised to lower taxes in 2016 if and only if there is growth in france.

you can see a lot of papers skeptical this is going to happen. this is "the huffington post." it says he will lower taxes as soon as we start going uphill. you can see the car going off the cliff. anchor: he has got a lot of criticism. >> this is one of the papers that says he does not have that great of a track record when it comes to holding promises -- keeping got him his promises. you can see this on the front page. his promises and his track record. they point out one promise in particular he did not keep. that was too inverse the curve of the unemployment rate in france. they say they are still waiting for that to happen. they say don't be fooled, this is all about politics and the 2017 presidential election. this is him campaigning, essentially. anchor: we will end in the united states with a presidential hopeful of sorts. ,> this is a surprising, new independent candidate for the 2016 presidential election.
