Will be the Biggest Party in the National Assembly. After a second and final round of parliamentary elections. Interestingly, more than half of the partys and that its have never been elected before. We cioss now, have never been elected before. We cross now, live, to our correspondent in paris. 50, hugh, just how big an achievement is this for emmanuel macrons party. Just how big an achievement is this for emmanuel macrons party. Well, if you look at The Big Picture you can only say that its an extraordinary achievement. We have said it so often now, and weve said it ever since he began this run victories, that it doesnt feel quite so amazing. So theres no question it is the most money men to live achievements and one that gives us both to wonder how it is possible to do this. Macron has pulled a blinder. He spotted what could be done and needed it. The projections suggest that the majority they are going to win in the assembly is not as big as some had predicted. There are also some had predicted. There are also some other interesting elements, with Marine Le Pen looking like she has got a seat. Well, your first point is well made. There were signs of it couldve been a pulverising majority with macron winning up to up majority with macron winning up to up to a70 seat of a 577 seat assembly. Its not get to be that much, theres still no question that hes got a majority by a long way, but its not that absolutely massive crossing into the ground of the opposition which some feared. That is good news for macron, of course. Too big a victory can spell problems down the road when the Opposition Sta Rts down the road when the opposition starts getting its opposition together again. When they can speak in parliament, it starts filling out onto the street. Some opposition, especially from the right, means that he can say that the democratic system is being observed and so on. Yes, we do have Marine Le Pen getting a seat for the first time, she has been a european mp before, but that means are both well known voice will be heard in the National Assembly with half a dozen other National Front mps. We also have the firebrand of the fire left, a strongly watched seat down in marseille, studies of the two leaders if you like. Anyway the populist left and the populist right will be represented in parliament and again that is probably a good thing in the sense that these forces which they represent would have spilled out with great mass protests in the last year or 0 with great mass protests in the last year or so will now be channelled democratically. 0ne year or so will now be channelled democratically. One of macron s ideasis democratically. One of macron s ideas is to produce an element of Proportional Representation in the coming elections. That means at the far right may get more of a representation in parliament, but there is a feeling that they represent a force that has been excluded from the assembly until now. 0k, hugh, thank you ray much of that. According to ipsos, president macrons they have won at least at least 355 of the 577 seat in the National Assembly for stop gives them the assembly of first terms of driving through the partys nearest rival, the republican led Centre Right Group get at least 125 of the seats. And Marine Le Pens far right National Front party has eight seats. Its been reported that two people have been killed its being reported that two people have been killed after militants killed after militants attacked a tourist camp close bamako, the capital of mali. People living nearby said they heard shots fire and saw smoke rising. Malian soldiers, as well as french troops, managed to free around 20 hostages. One of the People Killed is thought to be french. Lets speak to our correspondent thomas fessy who is in dakar in neighbouring senegal. Whats the latest you can tell us about this . The details are very unclear about whats happening, but the resort is popular with Foreign Tourists and wealthy malians hit with Swimming Pools and Cocktail Bars and communing activities. Children playing around at the weekend. You can imagine that there was a little bit of a crowd there when gunmen stormed the place in the late afternoon. We dont know how any of them there were. Its not exactly clear whether there was a Hostage Situation or not. Security forces are still deployed there and we are told that Special Forces of the malian troops are there as well as un peacekeepers and french soldiers on the ground. So, its an operation that is underway and of course bamako is no stranger to that kind of attack. It obviously echoes what happened nearly two years ago now at the Reticent Blue Hotel rattus in blue hotel were 20 people we re rattus in blue hotel were 20 people were killed. What is the situation, because as you suggest, this has happened before and they are fighting this insurgency. Is there any sense that they are making any progress . Well, you have a variety of different armed groups that are still operating in the north of the country, but also in the centre of the country. As a matter of fact, soon after the french Liberated Quote Unquote The North from islamic militants, the situation actually deteriorated quite rapidly and we see regular attacks on un peacekeepers in the north and on malian soldiers grow on the french who are stationed in the country, so this is a country that is still battling with that insurgency and is still under a State Of Emergency and it is clear that those kind of attacks were going to happen again. It was just a matter of time thank you very much thomas. Hundreds of firefighters are trying to control a large forest fire in Central Portugal which has killed more than sixty people.

The british finance minister Philip Hammond has said that if britain leaves eu without a deal it would be a very very bad outcome. Talks begin on monday and are likely to include issues like the rights of using citizens living in britain and british citizens living in eu. The british citizens living in eu. The british spy minister, theresa may, has previously said she be willing to walk away Prime Minister, theresa may, has bbc said she would be willing to walk away. It was a pretty reason for the election. Every vote for the conservatives will make me stronger when negotiate with president s chancellors and Prime Ministers of the european union. On the campaign trail, repeated promise. Strengthened my hand in those negotiations. On brexit, those Prime Ministers red faced pressure from all sides. Face pressure from all sides. Philip hammond is a one of those pressing for a moderate reproach. Today he upped the stakes on getting a good dealfrom the eu. No deal, would be a very very bad outcome for britain. But there is a possibly work outcome and theres a deal that is deliberately structured to punish us, to suck the lifeblood out of our economy. He said that the uk would leave the single project market and Customs Union but there has to bea and Customs Union but there has to be a transitional arrangements to keep the finances flowing.

Labour is its political muscle, suggesting that britain could stay within the print market which allows free trade within the eu. So we could stay inside the Customs Union. No deal is what happens when we get to the individually using our unable to reach an agreement, you get pushed over the cliff. Extracting the uk from the eu is not going to be easy. There is still no clarity from anyone about what Breakfast Shed or will look like brexit should or will look like brexit should or will look like brexit should or will look like, but theres no question that the Prime Minister is facing a tough night.

The case will be a bit more refreshing, plenty of dry sunny weather in the story from any. Same in Southern Scotland and Northern Ireland, but our Weather Front will slip south and produce a little more cloud, but at the same time maybe some brighter conditions for the northern and Western Isles in comparison to recent weeks. That pushes out overnight monday into Tuesday Morning so, a subtle change developing on tuesday, the cloud will just arrive a developing on tuesday, The Cloud Willjust arrive a little bit further south and produce slightly fresher air, so made teams into scotla nd fresher air, so made teams into scotland made teams into scotland keeping the humility to the south not really easing up im afraid please.
