BBC World Service - BBC OS, Far-right gains in EU elections

The centre-right alliance forms the biggest bloc but far-right also made gains

The centre-right alliance forms the biggest bloc but far-right also made gains.

The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has said her centre-right alliance will act as a bastion against the extremes within the European parliament after a surge in support for nationalist parties. We hear from voters and speak to our correspondents in Austria, Italy, the Netherlands, France and Germany. 

The authorities in Malawi say an aircraft carrying the country's vice president Saulos Chilima and nine others has gone missing. We get the latest on the story. 

We get an update on the fighting in Sudan. 

After Billie Eilish talked about her experience of “ghosting”, we hear experiences by others around the world.
