What next for Europe?

BBC World Service - Newsday, What next for Europe?

In the European parliamentary elections, the previously dominant centre-left and centre-right blocs have lost ground to smaller parties.  Some far-right groups and the Greens have made gains.  Voter turnout was the highest in twenty-five years.

In Britain, the outcome of the EU election was polarised between strong supporters and opponents of the country's planned exit from the European Union. The Brexit Party, led by Nigel Farage, was the biggest single party with more than thirty per cent of the vote, but pro-Europe parties gained a similar percentage between them.

Rwanda has denied allegations that its soldiers entered Ugandan territory on Friday night and killed two people. Tensions have grown between the neighbours leading to Rwanda restricting movements on the border between the two countries.
