Belgian Prime Minister Resigns After Far-RIght Victory in EU Elections
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Belgium's prime minister has formally resigned following a surge of
support for far-right candidates on Sunday, when Belgian voters cast
ballots in general, regional and European elections. The right-wing
anti-immigrant New Flemish Alliance will lead negotiations to form a
coalition government. This came as part of a wave of gains by
Eurosceptic and far-right parties in EU elections over the weekend.
We'll have more on those elections and the rise of the far right in
France after headlines.
