expected to sign immigration bill into law the bill proposes doubling the amount of time. awaiting deportation can be detained. another controversial point the fact that children can continue -- critics say they go too far curbing migrants rights. the proposals put forward by emmanuel macron's government have exposed deep divisions within the ruling party. please --day 11 and 11 mps abstained from voting after the bill have been presented to parliament for a second reading. one of the party mps even voted against it. a move that could have seen her booted out of the party.

have a longer time to appeal from one months to 15 days. this has not been put in the law. there are some satisfying measures. residence permit from some categories of beneficiaries of international protection will be extended. generally the law is quite unbalanced. there are some really controversial measures like the doubling of the time for detention which is really unnecessary because statistics show that most people return within a couple of days. claire: this is a detention of adults and children as well. >> there was a real opportunity to ban the detention of children. children are still locked up in france every year. measures alternative

there nothing that shows that the measures being approved will have that impact. claire: do you think a european response is lacking? >> daraa two issues. issues that are specifically french like the lack of the arrivalaces and of people on our shores. we have to highlight that they have sharply reduced. this is not a migration crisis anymore. it's really a political crisis. thated european rule so procedures are harmonized between countries and at the moment there's a real deadlock. every country is just aspect withoute thinking on the global level. without european solutions we have a solution for national issues. people don't just come to one country. they come to the european union. we need a european solution.

claire: what are the european partners going to make of this law? >> and will not have an impact on european rules because it it matches with the european legislative framework. it will have an impact on people's daily lives and the work of our social workers and it doesn't at all address what everybody's talking about like the mediterranean things on paper have that have an impact e ground. claire: thank you for your time and analysis. zimbabwe's electoral commission says the ruling zanu-pf party has won a majority of seats in parliament. it got 110 of 153 seats announced so far. won 41.sition alliance on monday there was also a presidential election. the first since robert mugabe
