aspiring story about survival, homa to get the jealous i was the only one. what lies luke music in nazi germany, watch now on youtube. b. w documentary. ah, ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. finland goes to the poles to select a new parliament, popular prime minister, santa marinez, seeking a 2nd term in office. she's facing a strong challenge from the far right, but she tell supporters, i'm in to win. it also coming up storms tear through several us dates,

leaving at least 26 people are dead, arkansas declares an emergency and called them the national guard after multiple tornadoes strikes, leave a trail of devastation. ah, monica jones, good to have you with us. we start in finland, swear parliamentary elections are underway. polls are predicting a close race between the 3 main parties. ballas from early voters are already being countered with a record 40 percent of voters choosing to cast their vote in advance. social democrat, prime minister, santa marina's hoping to secure a 2nd term in office that she's facing a strong challenge from far ride leader enrica porter. and we asked dw brussels correspondent, terry schultz. how the election was going. we expect turn out to be very high monica in part because in early voting and absentee voting,

40 percent of fins already cast their ballots so it's clear that interest is very high with a race. this close, as i mentioned there in the report, the 3 leading parties are within the margin of error, even in, in the pre both polling. they were as little as one percentage point between the 1st place and the 3rd place party, which is at this point, a prime minister son in lawrence. so interest is very high and i would expect a high turn out even in person voting today. right. so a very tight race above the nationalist fins party has gained attraction in the previous years. why are they so popular? certainly in the last election as well. they were very popular and you know, for the other parties were a risk to take the top spot. and you never know with parties like this, whether it's a protest vote against the other mainstream, traditional parties, or whether people actually support some of the tenants in the, in the fins party program. which at this point is focusing on anti immigration. but

they also say they would like to pull finland out of the european union. that is not a very popular opinion in finland. so as i say, it's not clear what, how much they support the fins and how much people just want to vote against the conservative coalition party and against on m r s t p. so you just mentioned something very interesting, of course that one of the parties is interested in pulling finland out of the you, however, popular unpopular that is, what could this election outcome then mean for the you i think they result for the european union is unlikely to be very dramatic, even if the fins party comes in 1st. what might have more in it of an impact is how long it takes finland to form a government. because son amarion says social democrats say they refused to go into a coalition with the fins that their coalition party says it would join up. but to others of the current government coalition, the greens in the left say that they also will not join

a party with the fins to eye surgery jointed government coalition with the fins. so that could be very, very messy. and so in addition to finding out what the vote counts are what the parliamentary seats are, when results come in later today, people are going to be talking about how on earth do we form another government? it's going to be tough, whoever's going to be in charge. well, luckily you keep an eye on it for us still be usa. terry shows they're reporting from brussels. thank you so much. terry. russia has taken over the rotating presidency of the united nations security council, sparking a furious reaction in ukraine in his daily address, ukraine's president of law to mister lensky, deemed it absurd article, the council, a bankrupt institution. he says it ought to be reformed. so as not to allow a terrorist state to disrupt peace, to landscape, also called for russia to be held accountable for its actions in ukraine. meanwhile, on the front line,

leaving bubble in their wake. this is the moment that the deadly storm approached the city of little rock in arkansas and this driver managed to capture the terrifying moment when the tornado hit ground. by the government has promised assistance to the areas affected as rescue efforts continue measuring the full extent of the damage could take month . paris is one of the most densely populated cities in europe. in recent years, the administration has opened new bike lane, san reduced parking spots to dick on chest. the city part of its green mobility drive are also some $15000.00 shared electric scooters,

but their days could be numbered. a referendum is being held to decide whether those scooters should be banned. our paras correspondence on your pharmaca has more downtown paris free floating rental electric scooters, or 20 minutes, as they called in french or all the reach. leona works in real estate agency and has been using them for 3 years. hang off on the handle. i work in central paris and the quickest way to get there right now is on an electric scooter. it takes about 10 minutes from my place to work. if i took a car, i think it would take 45 minutes other spot, but the scooters are hugely controversial. could exceed the biggest problem safety accidents involving east winters on the rice law steel. the city recorded 408. 0, he's a bell on bubble, is

a pianist at the paris opera. she was hit by an escort and park in 2019 breaking her wrist into place, which she was forced to stop playing for a year for provence is 4 years after accident. little has changed. she shall dinged, kilobit and so on. so it's a question of educating people who use these things, janelle, initially, but there's never any police presence on the street will do that. i partly seen people getting fined for traffic violations. i think e scooter writers don't see us pedestrians. it's like we're shadows. they have to go through any cause i said as fast as possible, repeated with him. it's a new shed, my mini on the speech or fishes. musically. i ride a bike and every day it's just horrible with the electric scooters, a comp on by they, they don't understand the traffic rules don't. it's healthy as a supply. i'm a taxi driver at times. there are 2 or 3 people on an electric scooter fooling

around. it's dangerous for them as well. electric scooters of toys, not a mode of transportation. why the husband, the public backlash has prompted paris to set up a referendum residence being asked a simple question, are the in favor rent an electric scooters on the streets or not to a different company? the stakes are high for shed o school to companies. parents is an important market. nicholas gauze says banning rental feats would be a blow to the cities and by michel credentialer was the 1st consequence. if there is an o, is that we're going to substract a per transfer mean of transport for $400000.00 people. it's always going to be replaced by only 2 things, more saturation, public transport. and if you go barby transport, you were seen saturated and more individual vehicle. and so indeed, i'm concerned in a one year before you lympics that is a sunday about signal established does, did audit 120 e scooters uses,

a nightmare star for the swiss, and worse was on its way. a simple corner saw dorman suffer their next set back when metal denise had out was turned home by thomas mueller and 5 minutes after that mula made it 3 when a luckless kobus buildable at his feet off the diving to stop. leroy sammy's long range effort. 23 minutes into his career as by a coach, thomas, to who could hardly believe his luck, while dalton's dreadful 1st half had their seasons work in jeopardy. the 2nd 45 brought yet more dose, starting with a full for the host, courtesy of kings. we c'mon then following this foul on g. bellingham in the by and bought and re shan fly, it hung a spot take to make it for one. but it was a goal more of consolation than of consequence. much like dorman, 2nd schooled by tanya marlyn in the 19th minute. the damage of course,
