Why are two old, unpopular men the main candidates for the world’s most demanding job? It’s the question John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, gets asked the most. And the answer lies in the peculiar politics of the baby boomers. The generation born in the 1940s grew up in a land of endless growth and possibility, ruled by a confident, moderate elite. But just as they were embarking on adult life, all that started to come apart. The economy faltered, and the post-war consensus came under pressure from two sides: from the radical right, who hated government moves on civil rights – and from the ‘New Left’, as boomers rebelled against their parents' generation and its war in Vietnam.

Check this out! Turkish 773 Missed Approach due to aircraft on the runway. Nothing out of the ordinary, but check-out as the pilot levels-out 😱 I mean, the pax would’ve felt weightlessness for a second as the nose dipped, and then the left-turn is also kinda aggressive? The Pilots would’ve already been through the Missed Approach procedures in terms of climb altitude and heading/nav Fix, but this all seemed a little aggressive, certainly more so than ones we’ve witnessed before.

Voters have gone to the polls for the second time in France in crucial parliamentary run-off elections that threaten political deadlock. While Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party is expected to win most votes, it faces falling short of a majority. This raises the prospect of a hung parliament, denting the authority of President Emmanuel Macron. Sky's Yalda Hakim will be live in Paris from 7pm for all the reaction and analysis as the polls close.

Watch live as voting takes place across France on Sunday 7 July, in a parliamentary run-off election that will reconfigure the political landscape, with opinion polls forecasting the far-right National Rally (RN) will win the most votes but likely fall short of a majority. Such an outcome could plunge the country into a chaotic hung parliament weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, severely denting the authority of president Emmanuel Macron. Equally, if the nationalist, eurosceptic RN did win a majority, the pro-business, Europhile president could find himself forced into a difficult "cohabitation". Marine Le Pen's RN scored historic gains to win last Sunday's first-round vote, raising the spectre of France's first far-right government since World War Two. But after centrist and leftist parties joined forces over the past week in a bid to forge an anti-RN barricade, Ms Le Pen's hopes of the RN winning an absolute majority in the 577-seat National Assembly have diminished. Polls suggest the RN will become the dominant legislative force, but fail to reach the 289-seat majority that Ms Le Pen and her 28-year-old protege Jordan Bardella believe would allow them to claim the prime minister's job and drag France sharply rightward.
