Far-right parties have rattled traditional powers in the European Union following recent parliamentary elections.
French President Emmanuel Macron has called a snap election after exit polls put Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party well ahead of pro-European centrists.
Meanwhile, the far-right Alternative for Germany party is in second place in their vote, ahead of centre-left Social Democrats - with the Conservatives in the lead by a distance.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey says increased concerns about immigration have helped these parties get ahead.

The airline will look to resume flights at the end of September.
The decision comes amid ongoing uncertainty in the island nation following political unrest.
House of Travel chief operating officer Brent Thomas says it isn't a major destination for New Zealanders.
"Having said that, there'll be a few hundred people who are interrupted - they were expecting to have a holiday in the sun through our winter, but will no longer be able to make it."

A debate about the unwritten rules of café etiquette has surfaced after an incident in Napier.
Reporter Mark Story was asked to leave Napier café Smiths, after being told he hadn't spent enough to stay longer than an hour.
Kiwi restaurateur Martin Bosley says different establishments are likely to have different house rules.
"I think it's common sense... if the place is empty, if there's no one around, you're not casing any problems, it'd be absolutely fine. Cafés want people in them."

A new report into witness reliability in Scott Watson's second attempt before the Court of Appeal has been challenged by the Crown.
Watson was found guilty of murdering friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in 1999.
The pair were last seen getting off a water taxi onto a yacht in the Marlborough Sounds on New Year's Eve.
Open Justice reporter Catherine Hutton says the report presented as evidence by the defence today argues many witness accounts were unreliable in his trial.
Meanwhile the Crown responded, saying there were many holes in the contents of the report.

I'm starting to get a little bit nervous about whether we are ever going to be able to attract overseas investors back into our oil and gas industry.
I mean, you think about it - the world has known since October last year that we were back open for business, because that’s when the coalition Government won the election.From there, it was clear that all three parties wanted to reverse the oil and gas ban. Since October, the world knew things were going to change in New Zealand.
But from what I can tell, no one is interested in coming here to do the work. And frankly, if no one has registered an interest in 9 months, I think we might need to start getting realistic about this.
It's probably over, the ship has sailed.You can sort of tell by the language that Shane Jones is using that he might know this too - he's talking about trying to make it more appealing for investors to come back by giving them really long-term contracts.
It's almost desperate stuff, and I suspect it's because he can see no one’s nibbling after nine months.
And why would they?
Labour has already raised the prospect that they are open to nixing projects again once they get back in. Investors around the world will see that - and who wants to put billions of dollars of investment in to have Labour come and ban your business again?So what this means is that, short of a miracle and some overseas investor taking a punt on us, we are probably gonna have make do with what we’ve got. And that’s not a good prospect.
Our gas is running out faster than we thought it would, we’re facing lights out this winter because of a gas shortage. We have been warned about this.
It seems to me - and I'm sorry to say this - that Huntly is going to be a very busy girl burning that coal for a long time.LISTEN ABOVE

The Government has claimed oil and gas exploration is necessary to address energy security issues - but it's unlikely to attract overseas investors.
Resources Minister Shane Jones yesterday confirmed the ban on petroleum exploration beyond onshore Taranaki will be reversed in the coming months.
Energy Resources Aotearoa Chief Executive John Carnegie says bringing in overseas investment is going to be a 'long-term effort'.
"We've only seen details in the press release, so we have to be slightly more patient to see what comes through in the legislation."

Grey said “We are expecting this result to come in favour of potentially far-right partes – in France Belgium and Italy.”

Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won 240 seats in the 543-member lower house of parliament – not enough to form a government.
National Democratic Alliance (NDA) partners won a further 53 seats to drag the coalition over the line.
Modi has kept a dominant presence in Indian politics for the past decade - with outright majorities in previous elections.
Asia Business Correspondent Peter Lewis told Heather du Plessis-Allan “This is not a bad thing at all – despite the panic we saw in the Indian financial markets.”
Lewis said “The government we’re getting now, is not going to look that much different from what we saw before the election.”
