France: Can a coalition of centre and leftist parties block an all out majority?
Manage episode 426588161 series 1301439
Opponents of the French far-right National Rally party have begun stepping aside in favour of better placed candidates in the hope of limiting its gains in next Sunday's second round of parliamentary elections. In several constituencies just one candidate will face the RN. The party's co-leader, Jordan Bardella, has expressed confidence that it could win an absolute majority.
Also in the programme: We speak to the injured Palestinian man who says Israeli soldiers tied him to an army vehicle, and behind-the-scenes at the late Queen's favourite house as tourists are allowed into Balmoral Castle.
