How this is BBC World News today, this is Ben Bland. Projections in | :00:10. | :00:21. | |
the French election so President Macron has Marco Gottardi is an | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
course for a majority. From an attack on a resort in Mali, hostages | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
are afraid. Forest fires kill at least 60 people in Portugal. Also, | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
Pakistan thrashed India in one of the biggest sporting classes of the | :00:44. | :00:44. | |
year. Hello, and welcome to BBC World News | :00:45. | :01:01. | |
today. Projections in France indicate that President Emmanuelle | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
Macron's new party has won a majority of the seats in parliament. | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
Lab Republic on Marsh -- on Marsh will be the biggest party in the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
National Assembly. After a second and final round of parliamentary | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
elections. Interestingly, more than half of the party's and that it's | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
have never been elected before. We cross now, live, to our | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
correspondent in Paris. So, Hugh, just how big an achievement is this | :01:34. | :01:41. | |
for Emmanuel Macron's party. Well, if you look at the big picture you | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
can only say that it's an extraordinary achievement. We have | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
said it so often now, and we've said it ever since he began this run | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
victories, that it doesn't feel quite so amazing. | :01:55. | :02:18. | |
So there's no question it is the most money men to live achievements | :02:19. | :02:26. | |
and one that gives us both to wonder how it is possible to do this. | :02:27. | :02:34. | |
Macron has pulled a blinder. He spotted what could be done and | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
needed it. The projections suggest that the majority they are going to | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
win in the assembly is not as big as some had predicted. There are also | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
some other interesting elements, with Marine Le Pen looking like she | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
has got a seat. Well, your first point is well made. There were signs | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
of it could've been a pulverising majority with Macron winning up to | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
up to 470 seat of a 577 seat assembly. It's not get to be that | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
much, there's still no question that he's got a majority by a long way, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
but it's not that absolutely massive crossing into the ground of the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
opposition which some feared. That is good news for Macron, of course. | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
Too big a victory can spell problems down the road when the opposition | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
starts getting its opposition together again. When they can speak | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
in parliament, it starts filling out onto the street. Some opposition, | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
especially from the right, means that he can say that the Democratic | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
system is being observed and so on. Yes, we do have Marine Le Pen | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
getting a seat for the first time, she has been a European MP before, | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
but that means are both well-known voice will be heard in the National | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
Assembly with half a dozen other National Front MPs. We also have the | :03:54. | :04:01. | |
firebrand of the fire left, a strongly watched seat down in | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Marseille, studies of the two leaders if you like. Anyway the | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
populist left and the populist right will be represented in parliament | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
and again that is probably a good thing in the sense that these forces | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
which represent would have spilled out | :04:18. | :04:26. | |
with great mass protests in the last year or so will now be channelled | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
democratically. One of Macron 's ideas is to produce an element of | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
proportional representation in the coming elections. That means at the | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
far right may get more of a representation in parliament, but | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
there is a feeling that they represent a force that has been | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
excluded from the assembly until now. OK, Hugh, thank you Ray much of | :04:46. | :04:55. | |
that. According to Ipsos, President Macron's they have won at least at | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
least 355 of the 577 seat in the National Assembly for stop gives | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
them the assembly of first terms of driving | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
through The party's nearest rival, | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
And Marine le Pen's far-right National Front | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
its been reported that two people have | :05:19. | :05:27. | |
It's being reported that two people have been killed after militants | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
attacked a tourist camp close Bamako, the capital of Mali. | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
People living nearby said they heard shots fire and saw smoke rising. | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
Malian soldiers, as well as French troops, managed to free | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
One of the people killed is thought to be French. | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
Let's speak to our correspondent Thomas Fessy who is in Dakar | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
what's the latest you can tell us about this? The details are very | :05:50. | :06:01. | |
unclear about what's happening, but the resort is popular with foreign | :06:02. | :06:10. | |
tourists and wealthy Malians hit with swimming pools and cocktail | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
bars and communing activities. Children playing around at the | :06:16. | :06:18. | |
weekend. You can imagine that there was a little bit of a crowd there | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
when gunmen stormed the place in the late afternoon. We don't know how | :06:24. | :06:26. | |
any of them there were. It's not exactly clear whether there was a | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
hostage situation or not. Security forces are still deployed there and | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
we are told that special forces of the Malian troops are there as well | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
as UN peacekeepers and French soldiers on the ground. So, it's an | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
operation that is underway and of course Bamako is no stranger to that | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
kind of attack. It obviously echoes what happened nearly two years ago | :06:57. | :07:05. | |
now at the reticent blue hotel -- Rattus in blue hotel were 20 people | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
were killed. What is the situation, because as you suggest, this has | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
happened before and they are fighting this insurgency. Is there | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
any sense that they are making any progress? Well, you have a variety | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
of different armed groups that are still operating in the north of the | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
country, but also in the centre of the country. As a matter of fact, | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
soon after the French liberated quote unquote the North from Islamic | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
militants, the situation actually deteriorated quite rapidly and we | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
see regular attacks on UN peacekeepers in the north and on | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
Malian soldiers grow on the French who are stationed in the country, so | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
this is a country that is still battling with that insurgency and is | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
still under a state of emergency and it is clear that those kind of | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
attacks were going to happen again. It was just a matter of time thank | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
you very much Thomas. Hundreds of firefighters are trying | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
to control a large forest fire in central Portugal which has killed | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
more than sixty people. Many died in their cars | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
while trying to escape from the district of Pedrogao Grande | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
where's dense forest. Portugal's Prime Minister has | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
declared three days of mourning. A desperate sometimes hopeless | :08:33. | :08:44. | |
battle against nature. Searing heat, strong winds and low humidity, the | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
worst possible conditions. Large areas of central Portugal now | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
ablaze. This mountainous area is no stranger to forest fires, but these | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
are some of the deadliest ever. The speed and ferocity of the flames | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
catching people in their cars and homes. A woman screams for her house | :09:03. | :09:13. | |
as the fire rages on several fronts entire villages have been evacuated. | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
Officials are still much what remains. We were inside the house, | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
the fire was all around us. The firefighters gain to get us out, | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
because we can hardly breathe. As to whether the house burned, it must | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
fire on the right-hand side of the fire on the right-hand side of the | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
car and with in 10-15 seconds at the most, he went that the fire created | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
let across to the other side and within 30 seconds it was to the | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
right left and back of the car. You had no option but to keep driving | :09:47. | :09:56. | |
into the fire. Have at at times it's been chaotic, hundreds of | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
firefighters working since yesterday. Some people say they had | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
been left to themselves while their homes burned. Thick low-lying clouds | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
of smoke are making it hard for a firefighting aircraft to work | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
effectively. France and Spain have sent their brains to drop. -- planes | :10:11. | :10:20. | |
to help. As the death toll mounts, the government has declared three | :10:21. | :10:28. | |
days of moment Luiz mummy. Morning. Bodies of US sailors have been found | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
The bodies of a number of US sailors have been found - | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
after they went missing when their ship collided | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
with another off the coast of Japan on Saturday. | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
The USS Fitzgerald was hit by a Philippine cargo ship. | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
From Tokyo Rupert Wingfield-Hayes reports. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
this is the US Fitzgerald today, safely tied up at a time porting | :10:46. | :10:52. | |
Japan but lying low in the water. The damage to the shipside is | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
obvious to see. What is hidden from view is the damage below the water | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
line. The commander of US forces in Japan today said damage below there | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
was worse. The damage was significant, it is not a small | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
collision. It was right TV pilot's out, there was a big puncher | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
underneath the ball water line. The water rushing into the ship | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
overwhelmed seven sailors, probably as they slept in their bunks. This | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
morning you are staying -- US Navy divers went on the compartment and | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
found their bodies. For some hours after the collision on Friday night | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
it was touch and go, the water rushed in so fast, senior officers | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
admit that the ship was in danger of sinking for a time. The heroic | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
efforts of the ships crew prevented this ship from foundering or even | :11:47. | :11:53. | |
thinking last night. There isn't much sadness here at the loss of | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
life. Most are now focusing on this Philippine cargo ship. The damage to | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
its power tells its own tail. Satellite tracking appears to show | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
the ship made a series of Huw Jones in the busy shipping lanes just | :12:09. | :12:17. | |
south of Tokyo Bay. -- U-turns. The last came just before the collision | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
with USS Fitzgerald. Investigators will want to know why and how to | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
such modern ships fail to see each other on a calm, clear night. | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
Other stories this hour, the Iraqi army says it forces are preparing to | :12:37. | :12:44. | |
enter Moselle in part of a final assault on the city. The UN has | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
warned that the IS fighters may be holding thousands of people as human | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
shields. Officials in Yemen say that an air strike read by Saudi | :12:56. | :13:05. | |
officials. Has killed several Al-Qaeda leaders. Official in | :13:06. | :13:12. | |

Hello, this is BBC World News today. The latest headlines... The polls | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
are closed in the final round of parliamentary elections in France, | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
with projections showing President Macron's party on course to win. An | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
attack on a tourist resort in Mali leaves two people dead. Reuters is | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
reporting that security forces managed to three 332 hostages. Here | :15:13. | :15:24. | |
in the UK, the is bringing in 18 -- 18 to improve the response to the | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
Grenfell Tower tower fire. Residents are complaining they got little or | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
no help while it happened. Police have issued new photos from inside | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
the tower block showing how badly the fire destroyed the building. | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
There are now questions being posed about materials used for the | :15:43. | :15:43. | |
refurbishment. Friday we pray for those who are | :15:44. | :16:01. | |
suffering loss. The Luther tower, people of all faiths are trying to | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
heal. It continues to be a time of the welding and, of anxiety and | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
anger. Some of the dead and missing are known in this congregation and | :16:15. | :16:16. | |
even in moments of Heaven knows what the nextr few | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
weeks, if that death toll keeps What is going to happen, | :16:19. | :16:28. | |
because I have never seen anger like It is terrible and they are | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
mad about everything. At a nearby mosque, more donations | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
for the bereaved and displaced. The community response | :16:38. | :16:41. | |
remains overwhelming. But five days on, some feel | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
they are still having to do what the authorities | :16:47. | :16:49. | |
should be doing. No one knows that they are | :16:50. | :16:50. | |
here, they are sitting at empty desks, I don't | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
know who is coming down, The local gym is a rescue centre | :16:59. | :17:04. | |
for those who have lost After criticism of the Council, | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
a neighbouring authority I would say, small | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
steps of improvement. have told me there | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
is progress but it 24 hours ago, government said | :17:16. | :17:29. | |
that they would get a grip. There does not feel like there is, | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
they are not here, central For us to feel that | :17:34. | :17:36. | |
there is a grip, the government needs to remember that it | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
is on the side of the people. The extra foot patrols | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
promised by Theresa May are now on the ground, | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
brought in from other parts of London to provide | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
reassurance and information. The leader of Kensington | :17:55. | :17:55. | |
and Chelsea Council says he understands the criticism his | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
authority has faced, he has also Yes, of course, there | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
is more we can always do, and we are attempting to do that | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
but this was an enormous disaster, firefighters, who are searching | :18:09. | :18:11. | |
for the lost, night and day. There is a growing | :18:12. | :18:21. | |
sense here that all the emotion unleashed by the fire | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
must lead to change. Angry, angry about the poor | :18:24. | :18:32. | |
response, but also, the years of neglect | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
from the council and While politicians talk of the legacy | :18:40. | :18:41. | |
and of lessons learned, for some the British finance minister Philip | :18:42. | :19:11. | |
Hammond has said that if Britain leaves EU without a deal it would be | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
a very very bad outcome. Talks begin on Monday and are likely to include | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
issues like the rights of using citizens living in Britain and | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
British citizens living in EU. The British spy minister, Theresa May, | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
has previously said she be willing to walk away -- Prime Minister, | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
Theresa May, has BBC said she would be willing to walk away. It was a | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
pretty reason for the election. Every vote for the Conservatives | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
will make me stronger when negotiate with Presidents chancellors and | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
prime ministers of the European Union. On the campaign trail, | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
repeated promise... Strengthened my hand in those negotiations... On | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
Brexit, those prime ministers red-faced pressure from all sides. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
-- face pressure from all sides. Philip Hammond is a one of those | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
pressing for a moderate reproach. Today he upped the stakes on getting | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
a good deal from the EU. No deal, would be a very very bad outcome for | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Britain. But there is a possibly work outcome and there's a deal that | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
is deliberately structured to punish us, to suck the lifeblood out of our | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
economy. He said that the UK would leave the single project -- market | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
and Customs union but there has to be a transitional arrangements to | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
keep the finances flowing. He even attacked the financial Tory election | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
campaign about the economy -- for not talking enough about the | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
economy. Whatever the reason this is the result. Anger from some, but | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
lacking enough MPs on their own and the Tories have tainted the DUP | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
party of Northern Ireland for support. There it take on Brexit | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
will have to be considered too. Theresa May is facing tough battles | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
here, there are a whole raft of laws associated with Brexit the need to | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
be passed, Parliament has been extended to two years to give them | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
more time but without the views of political opponents, they will need | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
a lot of help. Labour is its political muscle, suggesting that | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
Britain could stay within the print market which allows free trade | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
within the EU. So we could stay inside the customs union. No deal is | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
what happens when we get to the individually using our unable to | :21:54. | :21:55. | |
reach an agreement, you get pushed over the cliff. Extracting the UK | :21:56. | :22:03. | |
from the EU is not going to be easy. There is still no clarity from | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
anyone about what breakfast shed or will look like -- Brexit should or | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
will look like, but there's no question that the Prime Minister is | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
facing a tough night. Time now for the sport... We will start with the | :22:15. | :22:26. | |
Goth, the final round of golf in Wisconsin. Eric Carmen took a | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
1-stroke lead into the last round of 18 holes. Brooks capture has birdied | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
the first two holes and Harman is still at 12 under par after the | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
first. Rickie Fowler, who led after the first round is left with Justin | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
