Europe Today: Serbia’s students topple Vučić as Israel braces for crucial election

On today's show:

Bojan Vranic, political science professor at the University of Belgrade, examines the Student List's stunning victory in Serbia's parliamentary election, which saw President Aleksandar Vučić concede defeat. We hear from movement spokesman Radomir Saicic on what the victory means, before discussing with Bojan Vranic whether the movement is ready to govern, who could become Serbia’s next prime minister and what the result means for the country’s EU ambitions and relations with Russia.

Ehud Olmert, former Israeli prime minister, joins us ahead of Israel's election to discuss Benjamin Netanyahu's political future after three years of war. We examine whether Israelis are ready for a change in leadership, the prospects for Netanyahu's opponents and what the election could mean for Palestinians and the future of a two-state solution.

Estelle Nilsson-Julien, Euronews' correspondent in France, reports on another weekend of mass protests that saw more than 1,300 people arrested despite heightened security measures. She also examines Marine Le Pen's presidential campaign launch at the National Rally conference in Orléans and the demonstrations against the far-right party.

Anelise Borges, Euronews' journalist, covers Brazil's presidential election after Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva secured a fourth term, defeating right-wing challenger Flavio Bolsonaro. We look at Lula's narrow victory with just under 52% of the vote and Bolsonaro's refusal to accept the result.
