after marine le pen�*s far—right national rally party triumphed in the first round of snap parliamentary elections. president macron has called for centre and left wing parties to unite ahead of the next round of voting, which will determine who controls the country's national assembly. according to the interior ministry, national rally and its allies gained 33% of the popular vote. the leftwing new popular front came second with 28%. president emmanuel macron�*s centrist alliance reached 20%. with this report, here's our paris correspondent andrew harding. cheering. a dramatic win yesterday for france's national rally. the party was, for years, considered too extreme for most french voters, with its anti—immigration, eurosceptic platform and its links to the kremlin. but, last night, the rn, as it's known here, secured more than a third of all votes. the party's leader is marine le pen, who has her eye on winning the french presidency next. she told the country it had nothing to fear from a right—wing, rn—led government. but there is a second round of voting here next weekend and things could still change. after yesterday's vote, president emmanuel macron called for centrist and left—wing parties to form a united front to keep the rn out of power. will it work? it's going to be a struggle. and all this in the middle of paris's preparations for the olympic games later this month. many french are worried about their country's deep political polarisation. the road ahead will become clearer in a week's time, when a second round of voting will determine france's future. that could be months of political deadlock. it could be a seismic political shift to the hard right, with huge implications for the country and the continent. andrew harding, bbc news, paris. my colleague, mark lowen, has been following developments from paris and sent this update. and so it has happened. france's national rally, the far right, winning the first round of this parliamentary election. all the opinion polls before the vote had suggested this was going to happen, and indeed it has taken place. now there will be horse trading between the opposition candidates as to who drops out and whether they can rally behind a united candidate to try to stop the far right in next sunday's second—round election from getting an absolute majority. but the centre, the left, they are disunited. there is a lot of bad blood between them. can they rally behind a united front? this is the far right national rally party. a party that is hard line on immigration, for example, wants to stop the automatic right of foreigners born here in france to get french nationality. they want to give priority to french people over immigrants in terms of social welfare spending. so there is going to be a huge push from the opposition to try to block the far right from getting that absolute majority, potentially forcing france into a hung parliament and potentially paralysis as well. remember, president macron came to power here pledging to revive the political centre, to bridge right and left. what he's actually done and what has happened under his watch, is to polarise and push people into the extremes of right and left. there will be a lot of people tonight who will be furious at president macron for a gamble that has misfired, a trap that perhaps has ensnared himself, and indeed france as well, will have huge implications, potentially, for this country and for the european union as a whole. and could, if this were to be replicated on sunday, lead to this country having its first far—right government since the second world war. mark lowen. more on the french elections on the website. england are through to the quarterfinals of the euros after a dramatic last gasp goal saved gareth southgate�*s team from a humiliating defeat by slovakia. jude bellingham's stunning overhead kick took the match into extra time — leaving captain harry keane to score the eventual winner. here's our sports editor, dan roan. when the ball hit his foot, i got down on both my knees. i nearly cried. commentator: helped on. and it's in! jude bellingham! unbelievable. deflected back in for kane! it's all about a goal. if you attack, you win games. attack, attack, attack. now hear the lions roar! this — how much it meant to the fans after england kept their euros alive in the most dramatic fashion. but amid the celebrations, there was also plenty of cause for concern. what a chance this is. earlier, underdogs slovakia had taken a deserved lead. england's so—called superstars producing their latest lacklustre display in an unconvincing campaign. manager gareth southgate's 99th game in charge turning into a nightmare. but with just seconds of added time left and as all hope seemed lost, england were saved by a moment of brilliance. and it's in! jude bellingham! and, remarkably, less than a minute into extra time, sub ivan toney found kane for the winner. now hear the lions roar. with the match turned on its head, a stunned slovakia had nothing left. england through with a performance that lacked so much, but delivered the thrilling finale that saved them. i mean, i'm just so proud of the spirit that the players have shown. um, everybody that we put into the game played a part and helped us to get over the line, helped us to change the game right at the end. and without that, you've no chance of succeeding at anything. i can't even describe that feeling. representing england. european championships, round of 16, 95 minutes, you look up at the clock and think could be going home here. but there's players saying to each other one minute to go, we still believe, we're still going to get one more chance. and there's that inner fight and spirit in us. so what did the fans here make of england's last—gasp comeback? awful performance. lucky to get the win, honestly, let's be realistic. second half we turned up. and jude bellingham, last kick of the game — unbelievable. commentator: they are on their way. but as the chant goes, how they got there, i don't know. having come so close to what would have been seen as an unthinkable defeat, england will know they have to improve if they're to overcome switzerland in the quarterfinal on saturday. but they'll also hope the togetherness and spirit they displayed in one of their most dramatic ever comebacks can be capitalised on. dan roan, bbc news, gelsenkirchen. let's speak to our correspondent john watson, who's in essen for us this morning. absolutely incredible match, wasn't it, so stressful in the last 20 or so minutes?— it, so stressful in the last 20 or so minutes? england only had 60 seconds on _ so minutes? england only had 60 seconds on the _ so minutes? england only had 60 seconds on the clock, _ so minutes? england only had 60 seconds on the clock, they - so minutes? england only had 60 seconds on the clock, they hadn't played particularly well. it was the first effort they had on target when jude bellingham scored remarkably, that incredible moment, extraordinary player who produces extraordinary player who produces extraordinary moments, that equalising goal and proceeding harry kane's winner. england can look ahead to the quarterfinal with switzerland on saturday. gareth southgate, the england manager, will know they have to improve. the performance still wasn't quite there last night. undoubtedly, knock football produces memorable moments, extra ordinary moments. england, it is fair to say, produced the most extraordinary moment of them all at this tournament so far. no surprises it wasjude this tournament so far. no surprises it was jude bellingham this tournament so far. no surprises it wasjude bellingham right this tournament so far. no surprises it was jude bellingham right at the heart of it. it was a remarkable goal from a heart of it. it was a remarkable goalfrom a remarkable player. absolutely, thank you very much. john watson who is in essen. i'm afraid the sound quality not as good as the bellingham goal, apologies for that. as the bellingham goal, apologies forthat. let's as the bellingham goal, apologies for that. let's take you quickly to the live page, if you want to read more about what happened in the england match and read about the fans�* phone and that my colleague nikki campbell enjoyed a bit earlier, you can go there. a really good article showing one of the better sports and back pages, the daily express which says saved by the bell, hilarious headline referring tojude bellingham's very, very late goal. there are a few quotes from jude, who gave a post match press conference. he said playing for england should be one of the most proud thinks of a footballer because my career but often it is quite difficult. proud things. there is high, intense pressure, the fans expect a lot from us, regardless of what is happening in recent tournaments. that is the latest from the football. now let's take you to 5live. if they don't win a majority of seats in scotland, if you don't win this election in scotland, does that mean an independence referendum is of the table for the duration of this to parliament and whatjohn swinney comes back to is the scottish parliamentary elections and there is a majority of msps in favour of independence. it will be interesting if you ask about that today, what his response will be but he has certainly been pushed on that issue and that is one of the reasons why the snp are so keen to win this election in scotland and to try and maintain their status as the third biggest party at westminster. studio: bbc news and two havejoined us. john swinney hasjoined us. the first minister, leader of the snp, one of our leader phone—ins. speaking to katie hunter, bbc scotland correspondence laying out the issues. while we wait forjohn swinney, we can get under the bonnet, the tartan bonnet i was wearing just a couple of weeks ago watching our team. what about energy, oil? what about the north—east of scotland? i know kate forbes, the deputy first minister said they are somewhere between the tories and labour on the transition, would that be right?— would that be right?

yeah, that's i right. i mentioned earlier that some of the key battlegrounds between the snp and labour are in the central belt. if you go up to the north—east, it looks very much like a race between the conservatives and the snp. in the north—east of scotland, of course, energy, oil, and gas is a big issue. the conservatives are very much in favour of issuing more new oil and gas licenses. labour are at the opposite end of the spectrum, they have said no, that is not what they want to do. the snp have said that they are somewhere in between. they want to look at this issue on a case—by—case basis. want to look at this issue on a case-by-case basis. interference studio: 0h- _ case-by-case basis. interference studio: 0h- i— case-by-case basis. interference studio: 0h. l have _ case-by-case basis. interference studio: 0h. l have tried _ case-by-case basis. interference studio: 0h. l have tried to - case-by-case basis. interference studio: oh. i have tried to push i studio: oh. i have tried to push john swinney _ studio: oh. i have tried to push john swinney to _ studio: oh. i have tried to push john swinney to get _ studio: oh. i have tried to push john swinney to get clarity. - studio: oh. i have tried to push john swinney to get clarity. canl studio: oh. i have tried to push i john swinney to get clarity. can you hear me?
