emmanuel macron's polish and has lost its majority in the assembly. it's the first time that has happened to a presidents party in 20 years. the biggest winners were the far right and far left. less than half of eligible voters cast a ballot in the second round on sunday. the national assembly speaker lost his seat, along with the ministers for health and environment. where did these seats go? the national simile chamber has 577 members. emmanuel macron needed 289 seats to keep the majority, and although the ensemble coalition remains the biggest party, it secured only 245 seats. a left-wing alliance, the new ecological and social union, it is said to be the main opposition group with 131 seats, and the biggest surprise, the far right leader marine le pen's party scored 89 seats, up from just 85 years ago. -- from just eight five years ago. the remaining 51 seats are held by other parties. the leaders of the far left and far right say they are determined to complicate emmanuel macron's legislative agenda. >> it is an unexpected situation, absolutely u

emmanuel macron has a few issues. he has lost control of the national assembly after the far left and far right made a strong showing in sunday's vote. for the impact we go to carolyn to non-standing outside the french national assembly in paris. what does this do to emmanuel macron's agenda for his second term? carolyn: there was a lot of thunder and rain in paris last night and clearly it is a major blow for emmanuel macron because he will be struck between a strong far left who got 131 seats in the runoff and the far right of marine le pen who surprised everyone last night with nearly 90 seats. a historical record. in 1986, which was their last record, they only had 35 mps to the national assembly. historically this system has been designed in 1958 by charles de gaulle with the fifth republic in order to prevent instability in french parliament and 20 years ago the seven-year mandate turned into a five-year mandate with the president elected, and two months later, just after the parliament elections to make sure th

in some way, emmanuel macron will have to find alliances. it could be the center right the small group of mps could be crucial for emmanuel macron. everything is on the table we will discuss if this is a win for emmanuel macron. we caught up with the new parliament and all this debate is good news for democracy or whether it is instability. >> it will be interesting to see as you clearly put it. either more debate or consensus or building on the other and ability to make the parliament work and convince people we are working for them as opposed to working for us if that works, we will bring people back to the voting booths if it is just about emmanuel macron on tv and block the parliament, then we won't go very far i also think that to have four elections in a row, french people voted twice for the president and twice for the parliament in the course of eight weeks away too many. we have to think how to reorganize the process in france and the institutions that requires outside assistance i hope we can get that it will be hard with some of t

it is bad news for emmanuel macron. it is bad news for emmanuel macron. it looks unequivocal that he has lost his majority, his absolute majority in parliament. the figures are coming in and they arejust projections, dvd. different tv companies are giving slightly different pictures. farfrom being the last word on this but it does look as if emmanuel macron's party will be getting around about 230 seats in parliament maybe as as much as one —— 260 but whatever, it is far shorter than the 289 he needs for the majority by himself in parliament. so this is a big blow for macron, he cannot rely on getting his own reforms through parliament without help from somebody else. you will that be? the second party in this parliament will be the far left coalition run by jean—luc melenchon which looks like it will get between 150 and 190 seats. the big surprise of the evening is a very strong showing for the front national, the far right who were expecting to get 30 or 40 seats, they look like they will get 90 seats and then the moderate conservative opposition

macron, the fight is among the pro— emmanuel macron and against anti— emmanuel macron, so we have two wait and see in the next few days what the outcome will be. alexander, why would voters back a centrist over the far right and left in the general election yet reject his policies now? i think they did that because they didn't want marine le pen to be president, they didn't want a far right president at the palace. and they rejected these policies during parliamentary elections, so they said, yes, to him on 24th of april, no during the parliamentary elections, it's difficult political landscape we are seeing in france. we have never had that before, usually there is a french president from a different party and a french prime ministerfrom a different party, i don't think we will see that, i don't think e—mail macron will choose melenchon. perhaps he will keep his prime minister, we don't know, the weak point with the prime minister is that she didn't have parliamentary rule before, it's the first time she has been elected as an mp, so perhaps that is her weakness, we have to wait an

definitely emmanuel macron, it's - the world stage? definitely emmanuel macron, it's a i the world stage? definitely - emmanuel macron, it's a setback for him. if he is able to forge a centre—right coalition, the new government could be more conservative, and it could do some reforms, there is a question about whether politicians can really agree, especially on the melenchon side were fearing to be cannibalised by the emmanuel macron party. we still don't know if melenchon can get the upper hand france can reform itself, if not unless there is some major change in the parliament, which without the republicans is unlikely we will have a country that is not going to be able to progress, for the next couple of years. thank you very much for your thoughts and your analysis. strike action across belgium today is set to bring the country to a standstill as people take to the streets in protest at the rising cost of living. several national public sector unions have called for the general strike as higher energy and food prices continue to

it is anticipated that potentially emmanuel macron may lose control of the assembly, there is a left—wing alliance led by jean—luc mel on show came third in the elections and that alliance is taking a lot of the votes and it is anticipated that eventually emmanuel macron may lose control of the assembly which would have implications for how he gets his policies through. that is him voting. our paris correspondent hugh schofield told me more about the battle facing macron�*s party. the big challenge, the surprising challenge, not from the far right, this time, which he faced in the presidential election, but from the left, this coalition which has been created by the force of will of one man, that isjean luc melenchon, the man who came third in the presidential election, a character from the far left of french politics, but by dint of personality and technical genius, if you like, has got all the left or most of it into his cabinet and persuaded the very demoralised socialists and communists and greens to fly under his banner, basically, and together, as a group, they stand to do extre
