Opinion polls suggest far-right National Rally party could win July's election.

Hundreds of thousands have marched in Paris and cities across France to protest against the far-right National Rally party ahead of July's elections. Opinion polls have projected the National Rally party could win.

Also today: We hear from Ukraine's Minister of Strategic Industries about his hopes for the Swiss peace summit for Ukraine, and Albania has scored a record-breaking goal at the Euro 2024 football tournament.
