:00:10. > :00:21.How this is BBC World News today, this is Ben Bland. Projections in
:00:22. > :00:26.the French election so President Macron has Marco Gottardi is an
:00:27. > :00:35.course for a majority. From an attack on a resort in Mali, hostages
:00:36. > :00:43.are afraid. Forest fires kill at least 60 people in Portugal. Also,
:00:44. > :00:44.Pakistan thrashed India in one of the biggest sporting classes of the
:00:45. > :01:01.year. Hello, and welcome to BBC World News
:01:02. > :01:04.today. Projections in France indicate that President Emmanuelle
:01:05. > :01:12.Macron's new party has won a majority of the seats in parliament.
:01:13. > :01:16.Lab Republic on Marsh -- on Marsh will be the biggest party in the
:01:17. > :01:19.National Assembly. After a second and final round of parliamentary
:01:20. > :01:27.elections. Interestingly, more than half of the party's and that it's
:01:28. > :01:33.have never been elected before. We cross now, live, to our
:01:34. > :01:41.correspondent in Paris. So, Hugh, just how big an achievement is this
:01:42. > :01:45.for Emmanuel Macron's party. Well, if you look at the big picture you
:01:46. > :01:48.can only say that it's an extraordinary achievement. We have
:01:49. > :01:54.said it so often now, and we've said it ever since he began this run
:01:55. > :02:18.victories, that it doesn't feel quite so amazing.
:02:19. > :02:26.So there's no question it is the most money men to live achievements
:02:27. > :02:34.and one that gives us both to wonder how it is possible to do this.
:02:35. > :02:40.Macron has pulled a blinder. He spotted what could be done and
:02:41. > :02:43.needed it. The projections suggest that the majority they are going to
:02:44. > :02:47.win in the assembly is not as big as some had predicted. There are also
:02:48. > :02:52.some other interesting elements, with Marine Le Pen looking like she
:02:53. > :03:00.has got a seat. Well, your first point is well made. There were signs
:03:01. > :03:06.of it could've been a pulverising majority with Macron winning up to
:03:07. > :03:09.up to 470 seat of a 577 seat assembly. It's not get to be that
:03:10. > :03:14.much, there's still no question that he's got a majority by a long way,
:03:15. > :03:17.but it's not that absolutely massive crossing into the ground of the
:03:18. > :03:22.opposition which some feared. That is good news for Macron, of course.
:03:23. > :03:25.Too big a victory can spell problems down the road when the opposition
:03:26. > :03:30.starts getting its opposition together again. When they can speak
:03:31. > :03:36.in parliament, it starts filling out onto the street. Some opposition,
:03:37. > :03:41.especially from the right, means that he can say that the Democratic
:03:42. > :03:45.system is being observed and so on. Yes, we do have Marine Le Pen
:03:46. > :03:49.getting a seat for the first time, she has been a European MP before,
:03:50. > :03:53.but that means are both well-known voice will be heard in the National
:03:54. > :04:01.Assembly with half a dozen other National Front MPs. We also have the
:04:02. > :04:04.firebrand of the fire left, a strongly watched seat down in
:04:05. > :04:13.Marseille, studies of the two leaders if you like. Anyway the
:04:14. > :04:16.populist left and the populist right will be represented in parliament
:04:17. > :04:17.and again that is probably a good thing in the sense that these forces
:04:18. > :04:26.which represent would have spilled out
:04:27. > :04:29.with great mass protests in the last year or so will now be channelled
:04:30. > :04:35.democratically. One of Macron 's ideas is to produce an element of
:04:36. > :04:40.proportional representation in the coming elections. That means at the
:04:41. > :04:43.far right may get more of a representation in parliament, but
:04:44. > :04:45.there is a feeling that they represent a force that has been
:04:46. > :04:55.excluded from the assembly until now. OK, Hugh, thank you Ray much of
:04:56. > :05:01.that. According to Ipsos, President Macron's they have won at least at
:05:02. > :05:03.least 355 of the 577 seat in the National Assembly for stop gives
:05:04. > :05:06.them the assembly of first terms of driving
:05:07. > :05:13.through The party's nearest rival,
:05:14. > :05:18.And Marine le Pen's far-right National Front
:05:19. > :05:27.its been reported that two people have
:05:28. > :05:31.It's being reported that two people have been killed after militants
:05:32. > :05:34.attacked a tourist camp close Bamako, the capital of Mali.
:05:35. > :05:37.People living nearby said they heard shots fire and saw smoke rising.
:05:38. > :05:40.Malian soldiers, as well as French troops, managed to free
:05:41. > :05:46.One of the people killed is thought to be French.
:05:47. > :05:49.Let's speak to our correspondent Thomas Fessy who is in Dakar
:05:50. > :06:01.what's the latest you can tell us about this? The details are very
:06:02. > :06:10.unclear about what's happening, but the resort is popular with foreign
:06:11. > :06:15.tourists and wealthy Malians hit with swimming pools and cocktail
:06:16. > :06:18.bars and communing activities. Children playing around at the
:06:19. > :06:23.weekend. You can imagine that there was a little bit of a crowd there
:06:24. > :06:26.when gunmen stormed the place in the late afternoon. We don't know how
:06:27. > :06:35.any of them there were. It's not exactly clear whether there was a
:06:36. > :06:40.hostage situation or not. Security forces are still deployed there and
:06:41. > :06:46.we are told that special forces of the Malian troops are there as well
:06:47. > :06:52.as UN peacekeepers and French soldiers on the ground. So, it's an
:06:53. > :06:56.operation that is underway and of course Bamako is no stranger to that
:06:57. > :07:05.kind of attack. It obviously echoes what happened nearly two years ago
:07:06. > :07:11.now at the reticent blue hotel -- Rattus in blue hotel were 20 people
:07:12. > :07:14.were killed. What is the situation, because as you suggest, this has
:07:15. > :07:18.happened before and they are fighting this insurgency. Is there
:07:19. > :07:25.any sense that they are making any progress? Well, you have a variety
:07:26. > :07:32.of different armed groups that are still operating in the north of the
:07:33. > :07:37.country, but also in the centre of the country. As a matter of fact,
:07:38. > :07:43.soon after the French liberated quote unquote the North from Islamic
:07:44. > :07:51.militants, the situation actually deteriorated quite rapidly and we
:07:52. > :07:54.see regular attacks on UN peacekeepers in the north and on
:07:55. > :07:59.Malian soldiers grow on the French who are stationed in the country, so
:08:00. > :08:05.this is a country that is still battling with that insurgency and is
:08:06. > :08:12.still under a state of emergency and it is clear that those kind of
:08:13. > :08:16.attacks were going to happen again. It was just a matter of time thank
:08:17. > :08:23.you very much Thomas. Hundreds of firefighters are trying
:08:24. > :08:26.to control a large forest fire in central Portugal which has killed
:08:27. > :08:28.more than sixty people. Many died in their cars
:08:29. > :08:30.while trying to escape from the district of Pedrogao Grande
:08:31. > :08:32.where's dense forest. Portugal's Prime Minister has
:08:33. > :08:44.declared three days of mourning. A desperate sometimes hopeless
:08:45. > :08:49.battle against nature. Searing heat, strong winds and low humidity, the
:08:50. > :08:54.worst possible conditions. Large areas of central Portugal now
:08:55. > :08:59.ablaze. This mountainous area is no stranger to forest fires, but these
:09:00. > :09:02.are some of the deadliest ever. The speed and ferocity of the flames
:09:03. > :09:13.catching people in their cars and homes. A woman screams for her house
:09:14. > :09:16.as the fire rages on several fronts entire villages have been evacuated.
:09:17. > :09:22.Officials are still much what remains. We were inside the house,
:09:23. > :09:26.the fire was all around us. The firefighters gain to get us out,
:09:27. > :09:32.because we can hardly breathe. As to whether the house burned, it must
:09:33. > :09:36.fire on the right-hand side of the fire on the right-hand side of the

:09:57. > :09:59.into the fire. Have at at times it's been chaotic, hundreds of

:10:03. > :10:07.been left to themselves while their homes burned. Thick low-lying clouds
