00:00Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz is heckled by pro-Palestinian protestors at the final

00:06SPD rally ahead of the European elections.

00:10Tens of thousands of people took part in the Tiza Party's campaign rally in Budapest.

00:25Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz has been heckled by pro-Palestinian protestors at the

00:29final Social Democrats rally ahead of the European elections.

00:34Protestors are angry about Germany's support for Israel in its military campaign against

00:39Hamas in Gaza and booed the Chancellor for most of his speech.

00:43Scholz acknowledged the protestors saying they belong to a democracy that allows free

00:48speech but added that the Hamas attack on Israel last October was inhumane.

00:53Scholz also said freedom of speech must be protected at all costs and condemned violence

00:58against politicians.

01:00Germany's Federal Criminal Police say there have been 22 assaults on politicians so far

01:06this year compared to 27 incidents in all of 2023.

01:11Scholz also promised that he would not allow the Russian invasion of Ukraine and NATO's

01:15involvement to escalate saying a vote for the SPD was a vote for peace.

01:23Tens of thousands of people took part in the Tiza Party's campaign rally in Budapest.

01:28The party's Vice President Péter Magyar said that their aim was to change the government

01:34and put Hungary back on the European path as well as to create a more just system of

01:39government based on the rule of law.

01:42He entered public life and politics in February after the presidential pardon scandal.

02:12The rise of the far right and the radicalization of much of politics across Europe have turned

02:40this EU election into the most controversial in its history.

02:44In the last election in 2019 only 50.7% of voters turned out.

02:50So what might happen this time?

03:08According to the Euronews poll centre, young voters could in fact raise the turnout in

03:12France and Germany.

03:14The poll suggests the young voters of the two big shots of the EU are being tempted

03:18by the far right.

03:20Meanwhile in Slovakia, in 2019 the country recorded the lowest electoral turnout in all

03:25of the EU with only 22.7% bothering to vote.

03:31But this time after the failed attempt to assassinate the anti-EU Prime Minister Robert

03:37the country, the figure is expected to rise much higher.

03:44The body of the missing British TV presenter Michael Moseley has been found near to a beach

03:49on the island of Simi.

03:51A Greek TV crew spotted a body on Sunday morning a few metres from the beach of Argyem Arena

03:57on a rocky hillside as they were filming from a boat.

04:02The mayor of the island, Lefteris Papakalodoukas, then confirmed the body was Moseley's.

04:07A major search and rescue operation had been launched for Moseley, who was a 67-year-old

04:12former doctor.

04:20Preparations are underway at the hotel in Switzerland that will host a two-day international

04:25summit to discuss ways to achieve peace in Ukraine.

04:29The Burgenstock Hotel above Lake Lucerne has previously hosted peace talks on Sudan

04:34and Cyprus.

04:36Representatives from more than 100 countries and international organisations will attend.

04:43But last week Ukraine's president accused China and Russia of undermining the event

04:47by discouraging countries from taking part.
