powering possibilities. called 1800 355899 decision de that us supreme court boys to rule two criminal liability plus soothing the nerves. >> democratic elected official out in force today, firming up their support for the president and insisting biden should stay in the race and breaking news, hurricane beryl now and extremely dangerous category four storm. the latest on the track and how it's already breaking records skis, cnn, breaking news hello, everyone. >> and thank you so much for joining me this sunday on fredricka whitfield. we've also got breaking news from france, where moments ago, polls closed in, the, first round of historic parliamentary elections, the u.s. is watching closely as one of its closest allies in europe could see a dramatic shift to the far right president emmanuel macron, shocking everyone when he threw the country into a snap election, just weeks before paris is set to host the world for the summer olympic games. macron is gambling that a surprise vote will hold off a growing challenge from right-wing nationalist parties after they handed him a humiliating defeat in recent european elections cnn's max foster is live at the headquarters of the far-right national rally party and jim biderman is beside the headquarters of president macron's renaissance party. so jim, let me go to you first french election officials say they're seeing the highest voter turnout in recent memory. so what's the readout? >> well, in fact the fred is, it is exceptional election in every single way you can think of the root, the turnout was high the amount of time that kennedy it's had to campaign was very shorted deed, the way president macron exploded the traditional parties here and in fact, what's been happening i'm putting here is exceptional as well. the results, just to get back to the results for that we know for the breaking news is that the national rally party came in with about 34.5% of the vote. they are, i could get up to 280 seats in the national assembly. the part of the parliament here that's not quite enough to be a majority. they in fact had started off coming in with a lot less than that about half of that they've doubled the vote total, at least the number of seats that they have in the parliament. but the exceptional thing here is that we thought and we were told that this is going to be where the prime minister there was going to come out and speak. but just 15 minutes ago, we were told no. in fact, he's not going to speak here. he's going to be moving over to the other side of the river, to his offices on rue mountain, you anyway, it's been a very exceptional election and exceptional measures and we'll see what happens next. now because in fact, what's going to happen between now and the next round is a question of horse trading that's going to go on between the various candidates that had been elected or even some, some of the districts. there'll be three candidates that will be crossed the finish line and those three candidates can start bargaining among themselves to see one wants to step up. for the others. so you come down with two candidates at next week's election. >> and so jim, is it considered a real defeat or loss from macron because you just mentioned the national party while they picked up seats are not likely to get the majority. so what does this mean for macron? >> i'll in fact it looks like it's gonna be another hung parliament which is to say macron is not going to be able to govern very easily for the next to last three years of his presidency he called a special election hoping in fact that by throwing the cards up in the air, that maybe he would get some kind of a working relationship now with the number of seats as they've come down by the projections that we have right now, it does not look like it's going to be his favorite. looks like it's going to be a hung parliament. it's going to be what the french call colab attacks young, which is to say governing with both sides of the political spectrum and very awkward situation usually leads to grid block wouldn't we've seen that before once or twice in french history breath alright, jim vitamin. >> thank you so much. are max foster? you're at the national rally party headquarters, so what's the mood there? how were they decipher this? >> so this is the headquarters marine le pen, who's obviously the doyenne of the party, and that group is in a different part, france and we're hearing saskia producers telling us that actually there's a huge amount of celebration going on there right now. kohn really underestimate what's happened here. fredricka emmanuel macron, the centrist, has seen his vote potentially collapse. you've seen the left hold firm, and you've seen a surge not just in the right butt in the far right and you could have a situation where france, a key us ally a key ally to most western nations, had ending up with a 28-year-old far far-right prime minister it's a situation where the prime minister would have a huge amount of domestic control and there's this split as jim was describing, between what the presidency will run, the foreign policy. a lot of defense, and actually what's gonna be run by the prime minister who forms the government? so this is an extraordinary moment when you talk about a hung parliament, you're talking about paralysis in the french system. one of the major economies in the world, a paralyzed parliament with three groupings that literally cannot work together so when jen talks about what happens next being vital, you've got a situation where you're gonna go into the next round of elections you've got three major groups and they can have to decide what they're going to do. are they going to allow a split vote again? or is macron got a further support behind the left? so they can take on the right or the left going to throw support behind macron it's an extraordinary situation and a big moment in geopolitics actually max, is there any expectation that we might hear from some leadership representing the national rally party or even lupins. and she, you know, she is the head of that movement well, because she's celebrating and i think she's penciled into a speech and that's i think we'll expect to hear that. then we're going to come here to here from the leader of the party. so we'll see potentially the next prime minister speaking ahead of the actual result. these are just projections across it's just the first round but because the figures are so stark, there's a trend there. and all of the different projections were pretty similar. so it looks pretty strong interest. >> jiang is very fascinating and complex. i, max foster, jim vitamin, thanks to both of you. appreciate i know we'll be getting back to you are there. meantime, let's get more analysis from the perspective of david adelman. he's a cnn opinion columnist. he was also a foreign correspondent for cbs news, where he spent seven years reporting from paris. and he's also the creator of angelman unleashed. all right, and good to see you as always so i mean, wasn't this a gamble for macron in the very beginning to have this snap election. and so now, early an early idea of the consequences was this the payoff that he was looking for was his goal? >> thanks for gregory with you read as usual you know, is it really wasn't game on his part. there's a great commentator who has been a friend of mine actually 450 years now and uml use on bfm television just a little while ago, i was just going to him. he said, he's now at 4-years-old and he said in his political life, going back more than half a century country he has never known a campaign is short and the sharply divided. and it's right when, when wiifm came on the air about two hours ago with the announcement that we know what would happen if they said in two hours, we will know if we will be seeing a france of the left of the right or absolutely angular leveler ungovernable and my fear is that we might be in that position going forward. look 34% for the far-right for marine le pen's party that is not unlike a lot of the numbers that they put out in the first round going back to her father, wife first cupboard back around 1983 when he was just getting that old movement beginning. 34% in the first round. it does not translate to a majority in the second round. far from it. so it'll be very interesting to see how these seats parse out in my circumstance description to color in my in my assemblyman space in paris, woman the second, if never undo smoke in the second, it would 12 candidates on the ballot in the first round, 12 at the most civil b is three probably two in the second round all bets are off and booster france will be like that. so it's really difficult to really call this right now but if it turns out with like it is now, france could very well be ungovernable and mecole head does not have the right to call a election for parliament for one year and the word is that he's already actually out planning for that election year from now. where brands will have a chance to see just how bad things are. >> so we stuck with this for now. so while you're not you and i are talking david marine le pen, who is in northern france, is speaking to an audience. there and of course, we're going to pay them on a terror. what she's saying, and perhaps second, add to the conversation oh, i'm being told that the mood there, there's a huge celebration. people have been erupting in cheers, and you can see some of the, i guess, hands or flags waving right now in the forefront. but when we get some real specificity of other things things that she might be saying. we'll try to convey that as well. so david jim described that we're looking at perhaps potentially at least for the next year, this hung parliament obviously this can't be what macron was looking for. but since this was a gamble for, from the very start i mean, there are certainly a lot of people who are wondering if he was trying to make some other statement here by offering this snap election, what more is being said about out his real motivation here? whether this would somewhere some way down the line helps solidify his leadership. certainly he didn't he wasn't looking for a result that would undermine it. >> right? absolutely. a couple of weeks ago, i wrote on by cnn column them that macron is he's very smart. it's a very wily first any really understand history, especially that history of france. and he could very well have been looking back to the time and when meet your on francois mitterrand, the first socialist present i didn't get modern france when he was elected. he brought four communist into the cabinet. the communists to meet your own was like the national front to macron way for around to the left and really kind of flaky and he brought them into the, into the problem table, complete disaster and several years later they were gone and communist party of france never again regained any of its four hours after that. i think it's not impossible. let you know by crawling say, let's give the front asieh now the national front. let's give them a chance to run this thing and see how well they've never want anything run anything in their lives. so very well be saying, this is my chance meter on when stole me. i hold my friends close and my enemies closer so possibly philosophy as you're saying, in other words macron letting them show, demonstrate what they can do. >> his thinking as perhaps they might fail hill and then enough said, back to perhaps because you were yeah, it's an interesting psychology and a heck of a gamble. we'll see how it all shapes up against, again that the first round completed, we'll see what happens next. david adelman, always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> likewise, thank you all right. >> we've got other breaking news as well. several us military bases across europe are on heightened alert right now due to a potential terrorist threat. one of those bases is in germany, where the u.s. european command is headquartered. a us official tells cnn they haven't seen this as threat level in at least ten years, joining me right now from the pentagon is cnn correspondent oren liebermann, or and what's the latest? and we're given this breaking news right up against the announcement of these a french parliamentary elections. but there's no indication at these two are, there's a correlation here. so help us understand why by this heightened threatened is happening. >> no, no, i certainly wouldn't connect this announcement or rather this decision here to the french elections. but in a second, we will get to the broader state of security across europe, including in france. according to two us officials, several us military facilities in europe have raised their threat level to what's known as partly fp conor force protection condition charlie, that includes, as you pointed out stuttgart, but it also we have learned includes the army garrison in bavaria, and that is clearly stated on their website according to one of the officials we have spoken with, they have not seen this level of concern or this level of threat in at least a decade now, what does it mean? for army facilities or other military facilities to be at force protection condition, charlie well, according to the u.s. army, i'll quote here, it applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely. that at least what it means to have force per section condition charlie, we will certainly see what more we can learn. we have not gotten an indication that there's a specific threat of a specific attack against one facilities. instead, there is certainly a higher level of concern or threat level across europe and you certainly see that for example, in france, which has set the host the olympics in less than a month from today, and in germany where you see not only the basis here going to charlie, but also the ongoing european championships, four football or soccer so both of these march or so, the concern certainly is there, fredricka. i see. all right. are in labor men will check back with you. thank you so much. all right. back in this country as calls for president biden to step aside and end his reelection campaign. in key allies are voicing their support for the president. hear from them next, plus more breaking news. the first hurricane of the season strengthening to an extremely dangerous category four the crown will pursue that any cost i don't think they would be so e gets done house of the dragon extreme our nurse custom fit full coverage floor liners precisely engineered for a perfect fit, rigid sidewalls ensure are liners won't curl at the edges backed by a lifetime warranty and expert customer service, smart liner hi, i'm greg. i live in bloomington, illinois. i'm not an actor. i'm just a regular person some people say, why should i take privilege and i don't have a problem with my memory memory loss is not something that occurs overnight i started noticing subtle lapses in memory i want people to know that provision has worked for me itself. my memory, it's out my cognitive qualities give it a try. i wanted to help you just like it has helped me prevalent at stores everywhere without a prescription cities industry-leading global payments solutions help their clients move money around the world seamlessly in over 180 countries, and help a partner like the world food programme as they provide more than food to people in need. >> together, city in the world food programme empower families across the globe okay. >> which looks better, this, or this seems clear to me, if you love to save, check out the y's by sales event going on right now in america's best get two pairs of progressives for just 12995, tougher includes a comprehensive eye exam, book, an exam online today, they say seeing is believing but with stearns and foster, that's only part of the story. we handcraft every stearns and foster using the finest materials like indulgent memory foam and ultra conforming and telecoil for a beautiful mattress and indescribable comfort every single night shop now and bring home incredible comfort during our july 4th sale and save $400 on select mattresses, stearns and foster. what comfort should be learn more at stearns and foster.com?
