is the colonial story of france , that is, france.ry that actually took its colonization out of there was algeria, which , unlike other parts of africa that were under french colonization, algeria was actually considered as french soil due to its strategic advantage. because now natural resources and all the benefits it had for the french of this country are very difficult for france to actually fight. it was very severe and overwhelming that it challenged even the fourth republic of france and caused the fifth republic of france to actually leave there. well , we have already seen that he actually said something in october 2001 . in 2001, we had the first friendly football match between france and algeria , that was when a lot more algerians came to this restaurant, and what happened was that the french national anthem was played. the french are even that zinedine sidan, who was of algerian origin, because he had played in the french uniform , was actually booed by the algerians of origin, and even the match was left unfinished. they

well, france is one.it has one of the most violent police almost in europe, now this situation has been created. this way for france it makes it heavier for the presence of tourists and for the teams. now he may have to take more police measures to prevent the protesters from taking to the streets and this new front of the people who won the majority are also supporters of the formation of an independent palestinian state. since the beginning of the gaza war, france has been a supporter of palestine and has repeatedly declared its support. now, immediately after the victory, they announced that in the next two weeks , they will definitely take the creation of the palestinian state to the parliament and approve it. thank you very much, ms. asanaz. sed and sima news agency reporter who is a guest the world program was today, but there was a report in this regard about support for palestine, which now, as a result of the elections in england and france , has caused people at work to say that they support the

this coverage is courtesy of international news network france 24. >> welcome back to this france 24 election special. we'll head straight to the results, and thiaminases that france has -- and that means that france has come together to produce a shocripping up the political strip, the coalition on the new left, a popular front has defied all expectation. they won the most parliamentary seats. you can see there, with that chart, they've stopped short of a majority, however, the surprise result putting emmanuel macron second, and the far right, who are projected to finish with the most seats after the first round, only look set now to >> the popular front has wonhe most seats. they've stopped short of a majority. macron's centrist alliance in second. nick brings us the full recap of the day. >> the tv countdown for the second-round runoff exitoll projections on the french evening news. and a surprise. in the snap election, the alliance of the far-right national rally, which won the first round of the vote, was not first thisime, but third. the calls from other parties for people to v

in other words, france doesn't have enough money. so there are going to be arguments between not only the left and the other parties in the national assembly, but also between the parties within the left itself over what program they can agree on and what they're going to work together to try to apply. so this is just the start of what is going to be a very long uphill struggle for everybody to try to find some kind of working agreement. >> and one of the biggest hits is the democratic future, implementation thereof of the republic, while the national rally, they did end up getting the best results since the turn of the century. in fact, since the second world war, that still left them in the third place, which was not expected after the first round. katherine norris trent was following all the reaction from the rally and headquarters, or at least the event in paris, here's what she sent and what she saw. >> there was bitter disappointment here at the national rally election night. they hoped it would be a party, but in the end, ther

it's not political, but actually france is one of france, that is, france was the last country that actually took its colonization out of algeria, unlike other parts of africa that were under french control, because in reality, algeria strategically, it was actually considered as the soil of france, well, this is actually because of the natural resources and all the interests that the french had in this country, it is very difficult for france, in fact, the war is very intense and the endurance of the forces that even challenged the fourth republic of france it dragged on and caused the fifth republic of france to actually leave there. well, we have already seen that something actually happened in 2001. in october 2001, we had the first friendly football match between france and algeria. that time was when 3 years after the world community and well, zidane, who was a horse, had shone for the french national team and the french would love to use this situation and destroy those memories of colonialism, but in fact, the match turned into a more challenging match. the relations between france a

but so far france has managed to hold germany. of french society, following the new monarch, supports the ideas of revenge. the french still remember how russian hussars marched in paris, in st. petersburg , doubts about the legitimacy of the new ruler of france, who ostentatiously took the name napoleon ii, thereby declaring that he was bonaparte’s successor, began to be heard more and more loudly , the trigger to begin with. the french squadron approaches the dardanelles, on october 4 the turkish government declares war on russia. britain now has one main task - to arm the turkish army as much as possible. the french squadron blocks the russian fleet in sevastopol. at the same time, the second large joint anglo-french squadron - 52 the battleship moved to ranstatt, the third squadron with landing troops moved to arkhangelsk, the fourth - to petropavlovsk-kamchatsky. the turkish-russian war is turning into an anglo-russian and at the same time a french-russian war, almost into a world war. the courage of the attack of the anglo-f

you especially follow the news of france and the developments in france. incident happened and mr. shahsawar hosseini also said that there is probably a challenge for the current french government, for the government of mr. emmanuel macron , where exactly do you think this challenge will arise for the french government? hello , i would like to ask you to see macron by dissolving balman actually gambled and... now he has lost the relative majority he had in the parliament. in fact, now the radical leftists do not have the majority, but they have the most seats, and they do this for approval. macron's future plans make it difficult. in the same way that we go , if we have a historical perspective, france is not very coalition-oriented, the government is not very negotiation-oriented, its factions that want to negotiate and form a coalition, for example, germany is not like that now. they have a coalition called a coalition, for example, the green light, where 3 parties and 3 factions came together to form a coalition and they are working. they are doing this

france understands these issues, right? so. mr. andriy, are you with us? we are right here. everything is fine. mr. andriy, good evening to you. well, unfortunately, it is not good in ukraine, but as it is. well, let's start, for sure from the results, how revolutionary, resonant, i don't know, expected or unexpected, they, in particular, became for you as well. can you say a lot? emmanuel macron's hodvka still succeeded and marine le pen is actually losing this battle. well, look, i can comment on it, in general , it's a lot. it is possible to comment on such kind words spoken by the prime minister in poland that there is disappointment in moscow, enthusiasm in paris, relief in kyiv, because really after these elections and after this very clever combination made by macron in order to knock down the popularity of the right in france at the very height, they really had a very good environment. even in order to grow, because a survey that was conducted not immediately after the european, well , elections to the european parliament, will testify that 60-8% of french people do

, that is , unconquered france, francine sumiz, led by jean-luc melenjon, who is such an odious leaderhe was very active in supporting his... at the time, well, let's say contacts with before, before, before the full-scale incursion of russian troops into ukraine, with russian troops, on the other hand, with the communist party of russia, with other structures there that were close to him, in his entourage, there are enough people with russian, well with dual citizenship, for example, let's say in russian and french, but that is not important, what is important is that already during the election campaign for the european parliament, he clearly emphasized that, as in the case when his party is in power, whether here or in the european parliament, the attitude to ukraine should be the same from france as to palestine, and to so to russia as to israel, which, according to mélenchon, is the same usurper of territory that russia is in relation to ukraine, so this is the position, well it is clear that it is unacceptable for ukraine, because how he spoke against supporting ukraine, for stop

it could be seismic for france and for france's - quite seismic. france and for france's position on the european stage because of course remember the national rally if it got an absolute majority has been quite pro—russia in the past, marine le pen was in moscow to get president putin's blessing before a presidential run in 2017. her party got a loan from a russian bank. since the invasion by russia and ukraine the party has shifted more towards supporting ukraine but she is still against sending long—range missiles to ukraine, against sending any french troops on the ground, so there is one example of how this election will have ramifications far beyond france's borders. the question today is really whether the far right can be blocked from getting an absolute majority. they would need 289 seats out of 577 to get the absolute majority. what the opposition has done since the first round a week ago is to drop out in several constituencies, almost 200 around the country, where one opposition candidate has dropped out to try to get the opposition to

in france, we don't normally do that.t the end of the day, i'm sure we won't have so many far-left members of the government. i don't think they will be part of the government because they will never agree on the economic merger. most of the companies would go bankruptcy. i think there will be a grand coalition as we see in germany, for instance. >> what is the outlook for the fiscal position? regardless of the next prime minister or regardless of the government, as you suggested, we have a budget deficit of 5% this year. when you think about what's ahead for 2025, are we likely to see pressure on the euro as result of perhaps not bringing down their deficits? >> it could be tough. we could see the pressure. france is one of the key economies in the eurozone. as a matter of fact, i expect for next year, we need to cut spending and increase taxation by 20 billion which is huge. 20 billion is huge if you want to cut defenseicit. clearly, it is a negative path for the euro. i don't think the euro will move. it will remain we

france, europe, ukraine and beyond.mplications making the election all the more important. the far right national rally has been very close to moscow. marine le pen went to moscow in 2014 to get the blessing of vladimir putin. it has now shifted to be more supportive of ukraine since the invasion by russia, but there are real concerns in ukraine are much further beyond over the national implications of the selection. if indeed the far right were to get into power or if there were to be a hung parliament or paralysis. let's get a sense of the view from the other side of the country down of in the south—west in toulouse. that's an area where the left is traditionally done very well. in the first round last sunday, the electoral commission came out on top. joining me now is chris bockman who's in toulouse. is that the scent since the election last night week and their fear of the far right gaining this week, there is going to be a step up to block a far right majority? it depends who you talk to. i can tell you that the fa

france is set towards gridlock. pollsters had seen marine le pen's party rallying. >> the majority has made a different choice for the country. from now on the will of the people must be strictly respected. from now on no subterfuge, arrangement or combination will be acceptable. lessons of the vote are irrefutable. the defeat of the president of the republic and his coalition is clearly confirmed. >> we will be in a position to have an absolute majority may be in a year. france will be totally deadlock with three groups of roughly equal size and the national assembly. so that is the way to go. it is an -- it is unfortunate that we will lose another year but if that is what it takes, that is what it will take. >> tonight the political factions presented in this campaign did not obtain a majority. loyal to the republic and tradition, i will hand the president of the republic my resignation tomorrow morning. tom: ending there with the outgoing prime minister handing in his resignation. we have the details. this is unp

for france, there was one in the stands.r manchester united player paul pogba, who is appealing a four—year ban for a doping offence. he almost saw his french keeper embarrassed. kevin de bruyne�*s free kick saved. sort of. much has been made of kylian mbappe�*s skills, dancing past defenders... that would have been special! perhaps his protective mask had obscured the path to goal. could belgium take advantage of france's recent lack of form? not quite. there was nothing between the two sides until late on. and france lead! and it is a cruel blow for belgium! france finally found the target, albeit via a deflection. they are through to the quarterfinals. but who would meet them? it was always going to be the cristiano ronaldo show in portugal's game against slovenia. the 39—year—old desperate to score, but his free kicks were not getting through, or strikes from open play, or even from a penalty. itjust will not happen! tears as he felt his country's chances slip away. still goalless after extra time, so up stepped ronaldo

france's ungovernable.trends nationwide? it is partly a function of the rise of emmanuel macron in 2017, who came into power by capitalising on the unpopularity at the time of both the centre—left and at the centre ride. the centre—left were exiting five years of government which made them fairly unpopular. the centre—right had enjoyed a major scandal which made them unpopular and so emmanuel macron tried to take on both sides and create a new combined centrist party that brought in all the moderates from all the spectrums. the problem with that, when you have a centre—left and centre—right you always have competition and an alternative, you get sick of what you vote in the other and vice—versa. when one party claims to cover the entire moderate ground, the alternative to that is the extremes and with emmanuel macron in powerfor seven macron in power for seven years, macron in powerfor seven years, a lot of people have grown tired of him and do not know where else to turn and until that problem is resolved,

and now to another european country, to france, where parliamentary elections were held.d maria oleksa, journalist, editor of state television in france will be in touch with us and we will talk about the consequences of these elections, about how the situation is developing. congratulations mr. maria. congratulations. well, so what 's going on now? as in general, emmanuel macron makes do with a parliament in which no one has a majority. happens full chaos. in my opinion, france is entering an era, probably the most unstable politically in the last, well, 10 years to be exact. macron has the feeling that he is a little detached from reality and he could not accept it for a long time. the results of these elections, first of all, he was silent for a long time, relatively long, we learned the results last sunday, the president addressed the french only on wednesday, and he did not do it in a televised address, as usual, he wrote a letter, which was then published in the press, and in to this letter he says that no party has won, that is a fact, but he also alludes to the fa

let's share this problem, because as i understand it, verbally, and this will be hushed up, if franceat’s it, get ready, hurray, in the end nothing, of course, he frightened his nato allies, who wondered in horror what would happen next, when now this is a direct precedent for direct conflict. with the north atlantic alliance, but it didn’t come to that, although on the other hand, it was ruined by french officers, they are returning to france, we shoot them, and quite fruitfully, to be honest, and - in general - the situation has not gone away, but somehow this will be voiced less and less, this the first point, because the french will be present there in ukraine one way or another, and we will, in general, thin them out, we do not delude ourselves with this. the most important point is weapons, supplies, look, france has always been distinguished by very dodgy behavior in the international arms market, now they understand perfectly well what chance they have for earning as much money as possible with the help of their military-industrial complex, the same ammunition, for example, ye

i repeat, radio liberty's special correspondent in france, thank you for taking the time for us, ande first question, so despite the suspicion, macron, a brilliant politician, are you? appeared, am i wrong, because as much as i heard all june, i heard, he made a mistake, he won't be anything, he loses everything he can lose, the lipenians are coming, it's all scattered, a nightmare, we give up, we have to go to moscow , to bow to the kremlin and so on and so on something like that, and now what, you word, everything is gone, it looks like now, how he likes chess, and, well, now... how exactly two weeks have passed, yes exactly two weeks have passed since the time since the last second tour, and emmanuel macron in the dosaian palace, gabriel tal in matignon, that is, he continues to perform, yes , perform the duties of the prime minister, he is, he is no longer him, but he still performed duties and it is not known how long, that is, until how much how much is needed, and yael brown piv was re-elected as the head of the national assembly from the third round, indeed, they chose for a

france, europe, ukraine and beyond are on edge.d by brian and marie — national rally and macron voters respectively — and they told him more about their decision—making. brian, you voted for the national rally, the far right. explain why. today in france, we have an amazing and beautiful country, but i think one of the main issues we have is safety. i've travelled myself, and this is something shared across the world. we need a little more safety. of course, there are flaws in a lot of the programmes, but what is the point of working and putting your soul into the country, don't see my daughter, working every night to come back and not be safe at the end of the day. my wife looking back, not being safe. then you get to the point we say, ok, i need something. i need my country at least to be safe. it's the main thing. marie, it is the sense of security and law and order that the national rally are promising. do you worry about some of the other promises? i worry about the far—right party, yes. i believe it's a very racist movement,

, it was really close to other colonies of france like you know regional countries." drc and all that that had uh lot of that had links to uh to rwanda, so the concept of frank afric was still active and so it tried to keep uh tied with its former colons and therefore he tried as much as it could to influence political decisions and directions you know uh in those colonies and that was where uh france rwanda came into picture so... was more self-serving uh that it uh was influencing genocide in in rwanda, you hoping that it will be in its own uh favor in his own. own diplomatic interest. for the majority of the early modern period, most christian churches, both catholic and protestant, supported slavery and colonialism in africa. that did not end there. the catholic church was accused of being close to the hutolight government in 1994 when nearly million people were killed in 100 days. however, it was only in 2017 that pope francis, upon meeting the rwanda and president paul kagame, officially asked for. during the 20th anniversary commemorations in april 2014, kagame

in france, bizarre laws have been approved against hijab that are simply. for example, according to a law, hijob wearing mothers who wanted to take part in their children's extra curricular activities like school tours or taking part in meeting. they had to remove their hijab. although france has a longer track record of approving laws against hijab compared to other european countries, by a cursory look at the news from the media, you can trace similar laws and remarks in the entire continent. one of the most outstanding cases was about boris johnson, former british prime minister. johnson is known for his controversial statements. in his speech in 2018, he said women who wear burka look like bank robbers. the abusive words triggered an exponential 375% increase in insults against muslim women in britain. it received mixed reactions and some british mps even offered their apologies to muslim women, but it never managed to take the edge of the growing anti-hijab laws in europe. while the top designing companies are busy showcasing their islamic fashions to

although it is not illegal in france to testify an investigative committee while observing hijab, the law makers stood their ground and left the meeting. in an interview they said that they wanted the president to deal with the case. they wanted emmanuel macron to ban hijab even for those who testify in the parliament. french mp anne christine long reacted to the developments and clearly announced that she believed that hijab is a symbol of male dominance on women. in response, support miriam hashtag has appeared with lot of people highlighting how france is a multicultural country and that wearing a hijab is acceptable form of a tire as it doesn't cover the face, which is of course banned in france. the french lawmakers wanted the president to get involved because macron had an... relenting stance against the muslim women tous attaquer? what we must fight is islamist separatism. it's a conscious, theoretical, socioopolitical project, it's repeatedly at odds with the values of the republic and often leads to the creation of a counter society. macron took office in 2017 and on the very
