more of the seats. the most headline—grabbing outcome appears to have been in france, where the far—right national rally party has taken more than 31% of the vote. that's more than double the coalition which supports president macron. he has responded by calling an entirely unexpected snap election. translation: the rise - of nationalists and demagogues is a dangerfor our nation, but also for europe. i say this even though we have just celebrated with the whole world of the normandy landing, and in a few weeks we welcome the world for the olympic and paralympic games. yes, the far right is both the result of the impoverishment of the french and the downgrading of our country. so at the end of this day, i cannot act as if nothing had happened. added to this situation is a fever which has gripped parliamentary and public debate in our country in recent years, a disorder which i know worries you, sometimes shocks you, and to which i do not intend to give in. however, today the challenges that present themselves to us, whether external dangers, climate change and the consequences, or threats to our own cohesion, it requires clarity in our debates. ambition for the country and respect for every french person. this is why, after having carried out the consultations provided for in article 12 of our constitution, i decided to put back in your hands the choice of our parliamentary future by the vote. in a few moments, i will sign the decree convening the legislative elections which will be held onjune 30th for the first round and july 7th for the second round. for the french far right, the result is one to celebrate. here's marine le pen. translation: the french have spoken and this - historic election shows that when the people vote, the people win. by giving more than 32% to the national rally, the french have just given us their highest score, all parties combined, in a0 years. it's a real emotion to see this beautiful popular force rising up throughout the country. the big question now — where does this leave the european parliament? here's the president of the european comission, ursula von der leyen, who has promised to build a "bastion against extremes" in the eu's assembly. no majority can be formed without epp, formed without epp, and together, and that is important. together with others, we will build a bastion bastion against the extremes from the left and the right. we will stop them. this is for sure. my colleague christian fraser has been in brussels, watching the results and exit polls unfold throughout the evening. the polls are closed and the finance rejection would be worked out within the 27 countries on stage. behind me, the european parliamentary president, who is about to give us the latest projections. we already know from the exit polls in these 27 countries that there has been a definitive shift to the right. in austria, the freedom party, top of the pile. geert wilders in the netherlands taking seven seats. marine le pen, a record 32% in france. the afd in germany coming second. that is one story tonight, but already this election has provided us with extraordinary news in france, where emmanuel macron, who sank to i6% of the vote, calling a snap election in the last week ofjune and the first week ofjuly. it is an enormous gamble on the back of a pretty humiliating defeat tonight in the european parliamentary elections. you can see behind me, we are about to get the latest projection, and here it is. you can see the epp, the biggest in the european parliament, is up from 176 seats to 189. big losers on the the greens, 72 all the way down to 52. on the right—hand side that chart, the european conservatives and reformists, up conservatives and reformists, up from 69, and identity and democracy, up from 49 to 58. those are the two groupings that include the populists and the hard right. there seems to be some confusion from the figures they have put up, and she did say they would continue to check the results and they will be refined through the evening, because the main polls in italy have closed just a short time ago. with 76 seats in the parliament, that will very much affect the projections they are putting out. what does this all mean at the end of the day? the big story, i suppose, the end of the day? the big story, isuppose, aside the end of the day? the big story, i suppose, aside from those rather dramatic headlines about the hard right, is that the centre and the centre—right have largely held. they will control the majority of the seats. on the right, there tend to be some disparate groupings, they don't see eye—to—eye on issues like ukraine, for instance, giorgia meloni very much in favour of sending arms to ukraine, whereas marine le pen has been much softer on russia. it may be issue by issue where the groups on the right to try to work together, but certainly it is the centre at the centre—right which will control the agenda. the question is how much will they need those parties to get some of the things through over the next five years? things like green policy, transition policy, migration and borders, the european budget still to be decided. billions of euros being put into the industrial defence strategy in europe as well. those are all big questions. of course integration and enlargement, always a thorny issue in brussels. so the impact of the shift to the right still to be worked out, i would think, in the coming months, as the parties arrange themselves in the various groupings. no question the story tonight, though, the shift to the right, and a very big backward step for the green playback the centrists. narendra modi has been sworn in for a third term as india's prime minster. he will however be leading a coalition for the first time, after his party, the hindu nationalist bjp, fell short of a majority in recent elections. thousands of guests attended the inauguration including the heads of neighbouring countries. as leisure macro i will faithfully and conscientiously discharge my duties —— translation: i discharge my duties -- tuna/mom- discharge my duties -- translation: ., , translation: i will faithfully and conscientiously _ translation: i will faithfully and conscientiously discharge | and conscientiously discharge my duties as prime minister of the union. and i will do right by all manner of people. with the constitution and the law, without fear or favour. affection or ill will. yogita limaye has more from delhi. narendra modi... an oath that narendra modi is more than familiar with. but what follows is uncharted territory. a weakened prime minister, dependent on a coalition for the first time. there are hundreds of pictures of mr modi all over delhi today, and it's something we've gotten used to here in india over these past ten years. his picture's been on welfare schemes, on vaccine certificates, so that doesn't seem to have changed. but what has is that while this is a win, it's a victory that feels like a defeat for brand modi. the aura of invincibility that has come to surround him has been damaged. and clues to why some voters turned away can be found here in the politically crucial state of uttar pradesh. it was considered to be a stronghold of mr modi's bjp, but it delivered the biggest shock. in a predominantly hindu village in muzaffarnagar, we met men who've traditionally supported the bjp. but not this time, says shyam singh, who has four post—graduate sons who are unemployed. translation: since four years, they have been - searching forjobs, but there are no vacancies. the government talks about development, but we can't see it happen on the ground. price rise has gone beyond limits, it's tough to put food on the table. translation: people had blind faith in modi, but now _ they've opened their eyes to the reality around them. a hindu temple opened by the prime minister ahead of the election was expected to galvanize votes like these for the ruling party. translation: temples are a matter of faith, i but to feed ourselves, we need work. just opening temples doesn't help us. in another part of the constituency we met people from india's muslim minority who had found themselves to be the target of an overtly divisive campaign by the bjp. translation: when the results came in, we were happy - because we were worried that if they came to power with full majority, they would make laws that would discriminate against minorities. bell ringing. a leader who's achieved an almost godlike status for his followers has been brought down to earth by the will of india's voters. for mr modi, keeping his allies together will be the test of a new skill. yogita limaye, bbc news, delhi. benny gantz — one of the most senior members of the israeli war cabinet which was set up after the hamas attack last october — has resigned from the government. he had threatened to stand down unless he felt there was a post—war plan for gaza, with a deadline set for saturday. he told reporters that he wasn't satisfied. this is the moment he confirmed his resignation. translation: unfortunately, netanyahu is preventing us i from approaching true victory, which is the justification for the painful, ongoing crisis. and this is why we quit the national unity government today with a heavy heart. yet we feel that it is the right decision. we are now in the midst of a campaign that will impact the fate of israel generations ahead. in order to guarantee true victory, this coming fall, when it will be the one—year anniversary of this disaster, we should go for elections and reach a new government. i call on netanyahu to set a date for elections. mr netanyahu had called on benny gantz to remain in the war cabinet. he posted this message on the social media platform x. our correspondentjon donnison is injerusalem and put the announcement into context. well, i don't think it was a shock because he has been threatening to resign for some time. and he, in fact, was due to give a press conference yesterday and postponed that when we got news of the raid in the centre of gaza taking place. it's not going to bring down the government of benjamin netanyahu, who still maintains his majority in the knesset. but what it does do is i guess it isolates mr netanyahu a little bit at a time when he is calling for unity, and it removes a voice of experience and a more centrist voice from that war cabinet. you have to remember that the coalition cabinet is made up of, really, people with very little experience. that cannot be said of benny gantz, who is a former army chief of staff, a former defence minister, and someone with a long history in the military at a time when israel is now at war. and what it means, i think, is that those further to the right, the likes of itamar ben—gvir, who is from the far right of israeli politics, are going to have more influence. and i'm just seeing that mr ben—gvir has requested himself that he now should be allowed to join the war cabinet. officials from the hamas—run health ministry in gaza say that the israeli raid on a refugee camp on saturday — which led to the rescue of four hostages — led to the deaths of nearly 300 palestinians. a spokesman for the armed wing of hamas says that three hostages were also killed during the operation. we haven't been able independently to verify that claim. several hundred palestinians were also wounded in the raid. hamas accused the israelis of carrying out a massacre. that phrase was echoed by the european union's top diplomatjosep borrell, who described the deaths as "another massacre of civilians". more footage has emerged of the rescue — israel used helicopters to evacuate the hostages from an area around the nuseirat refugee camp in central gaza. the head of the hospital where they are being treated said none of them require emergency care or large procedures, but that they will need long—term evaluations. being deprived of so many things for so long and living under this unbelievable stress is something that leaves its mark, both on the body and on the soul. this is bbc news. now some other stories making headlines. north korea has threatened to blow up loudspeakers installed by south korea's to broadcast propaganda over the border. it is in response to pyongyang's campaign of balloons carrying rubbish across the border. kim says it considers these broadcasts an act of war. at least nine people are thought to have been killed after a bus carrying hindu pilgrims came under attack in indian administered kashmir. they say it was making its way to a shrine when it came under fire before plunging into a gorge. security forces have been sent to the scene, a rescue operation carries on. india have beaten pakistan by six runs at the men's t20 ricket world cup. india have won seven of their last nine meetings with pakistan in t20 world cups with pakistan in t20 world cups with one no results. it's the main parties are preparing to launch their manifestos this week. the whole country has been longing for and waiting for this election to come. labour's promising to provide 100,000 more childcare places in england. now the big parties know you can't pay for policies from small change, but the labour leader wasn't keen to identify spending cuts or tax rises. instead, he insisted it was all about the economy. all of our plans are fully funded and fully costed and none of them require tax rises over and above the ones that we've already announced. what we do need to do, just to take up the challenge that's being put to us, is we do need to grow the economy. the prime minister's keen to move on from his d—day misstep. today his party wasn't talking about warfare, but welfare. they've been looking for cash for tax cuts and claim they could save £12 billion from the benefits budget by the end of the next parliament. in my area of welfare, we've saved £7.7 billion over measures that we've brought in over this parliament. we cut fraud and error within the welfare system, within benefits by about 10% last year and we can go still further. the lib dems have been banging the drum for investment in the nhs to the tune of billions of pounds. they say they won't raise income tax to pay for this, but other taxes are available. we said we'd increase i the digital services taxes on the social media giants, the likes of amazon - and google as well. so i think unlike the other- parties, we've actually already begun to show very clearly where the money for - our health and care - policies would come from. the snp accuse the main westminster parties of being deliberately in denial about the public finances. it's important at this election that people focus on the conspiracy of silence that is going on between the labour party and the conservative party. the tories have signed up to £18 billion worth of spending cuts, according to the institute for fiscal studies. and labour, according again to the institute of fiscal studies, have not demurred from those figures. the parties�* manifestos will provide a political sense of direction, but they may be less clear aboutjust how rocky a road lies ahead. iain watson, bbc news. the appointment of the ambassador to the united states has been suspended because of white walls. rishi sunak�*s decision to nominate his national security adviser sir tim barrow angered labour which accused the prime minister of trying to rush the appointment through before the election. he was wonderful, funny and kind. the wife of the radio and television presenter michael mosley has confirmed his body has been found after he went missing on a greek island. the 67—year—old was last seen early on wednesday afternoon, on a walk, alone, in a remote mountainous area. joe inwood reports. on a barren hillside, just metres away from the safety of the beach he'd been heading for, the search for michael mosley finally came to an end. it was on that beach, of agia marina, that the body which has now been identified as michael mosley was found. he was found lying just at the right side of that fence you can see over there, so really close to where people would have been relaxing and playing on this popular and busy beach. we spoke to a police source, who said the body of michael mosley had been there for a number of days. it's a tragic end to a story that had begun on wednesday, when michael mosley left the beach where he'd been with his wife, clare, atabout1:30pm. he was then picked up on a camera at a coffee shop here, a second one at a restaurant here, and then finally the one at the marina, before he walked out of the town, heading towards agia marina. but despite an extensive search and rescue operation involving police, fire, helicopters, dogs, even members of the public, in the end he was found by accident. it has emerged a greek television crew were filming with the mayor, and only noticed michael mosley�*s body in their shot when they got back to edit their pictures. translation: when we returned here in symi and the footage - was prepared to send to athens, we spotted the body of a man. we informed the mayor and the authorities were immediately mobilised with the doctors. michael mosley�*s death was confirmed by his wife, clare. she said... michael mosley�*s body was taken to a waiting coastguard boat and then onto roads for a postmortem. his disappearance and death has been felt keenly by the community of this small island, by the many people who appreciated his work, but most of all by the family he leaves behind. joe inwood, bbc news, on the greek island of symi. restoration work has begun in sweden in a well—known shipwreck. it will take four years and cost $90 million. the overhauled galleon was built nearly 400 years ago to expand swedish control over these baltic region, but sank 18 minutes into its maiden voyage. it was raised from the sea bed in 1961 and was found to be almost completely intact. june marks pride month and celebrations have kicked off all around the world. in washington, dc, these were the scenes as thousands celebrated with the lgbtq+ community. the route acknowledges the evolution of lgbtq+ evolution of lg btq+ neighbourhoods evolution of lgbtq+ neighbourhoods in the city. similar scenes were witnessed in europe. thanks for watching. hello there. weather for the week ahead is perhaps not the story you want. no significant summer sunshine or warmth, i'm afraid. in fact, the story in armagh on sunday really sets the scene — just a high of ten degrees. we had cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle with a cool northerly wind as well. now, that rain is sinking its way steadily southwards and it will clear away from eastern england and southeast england during monday morning. behind it, this northerly wind and this cooler air source starts to kick in across the country. so a rash of showers, a cold, brisk wind driving those showers in off exposed coasts and drifting their way steadily south across scotland and northern ireland as we go through the morning. here's our cloud and rain still lingering across east yorkshire, lincolnshire first thing in the morning, some heavier bursts that will ease away. best of any brighter skies, perhaps across southern england down to the southwest. here, showers should be few and further between. but nevertheless, that wind direction still really digging in right across the country. so sunny spells, scattered showers, a brisk northwesterly wind for many, so temperatures just below par really for this time of year, a maximum of 10—15 degrees for most. we might see highs of 17 or 18 if we get some sunshine across south west england and wales. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, the low pressure drifts off to scandinavia, high pressure builds. it should start to kill off some of the showers out to the west. but with those clearing skies, well, those temperatures will be below par through the night as well, low single figures for some, quite a chilly start to our tuesday morning. hopefully some sunshine around on tuesday. there will continue to be some showers, most frequent ones running down through central and eastern scotland and england. further west, some brighter skies and once again, highs of 17 degrees, but for many, just a maximum of 10—15 once again. moving out of tuesday into wednesday, winds will fall lighter still for a time, but there's another low pushing in and that will bring some wetter weather to close out the end of the working week. it will gradually start to change the wind direction. so, after a drier day on wednesday, it will turn that little bit milder, but also wetter as we head into the weekend. india's prime minister begins a third term. we'll look at the challenges he could face when pushing through economic reforms. plus... how the death of an actor in the nigerian film industry, comparable to hollywood, is raising safety concerns. hello and welcome to business today. i'm arunoday mukharji. we will start in india. narendra modi has been been sworn in as india's prime minister for a third consecutive term. however, it marks the first time his bharatiya janata party has needed allies to form a government. so will that impact mr modi's ability to push through economic reforms? priyanka kishore is director and principal economist at research company asia decoded. modi is actually working with an alliance, which has a lot of experience of pushing through successful reforms under the government. and they will draw upon that experience. of course, i think there will be a slowdown in decision—making in certain areas and the big calls that people are expecting, that won't come through. but we will not completely see a stalling. labour reforms i think will be prioritised. we labour reforms i think will be prioritised-— labour reforms i
