France's far-right National Rally (RN) look to have failed in their bid to win their first ever region.
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur was a target for Marine Le Pen's party.
But exit polls suggest their hotly-tipped candidate, Thierry Mariani, took only 43% of the vote and lost to the centre-right Republicans.
The election - which saw a potentially record low turnout of less than 30% - also brought disappointment for President Emmanuel Macron.
His centrist party, La République En Marche (LREM), also failed to win control of any region. It also performed badly in the first round, which was held last week.
It was the first time President Macron's party has taken part in regional elections, as it did not exist the last time they were held in 2015.
Other early results from the second round suggest wins for traditional centre-right parties, and for the left.
The Hauts-de-France region around Calais in the north had also been earmarked as a potential gain for Ms Le Pen's RN, but was won by conservative Xavier Bertrand.
"The far-right has been stopped in its tracks and we have pushed it back sharply," he told his supporters after the polls closed.
But Ms Le Pen accused her rivals of forming "unnatural alliances" to block her and her party from power.
"[They] did all they could to keep us out and prevent us from showing the French our capacity to lead a regional administration," she told supporters.
A big disappointment for Le Pen
President Macron's party was already sidelined in these elections after its poor showing in the first round.
Marine Le Pen's also scored badly last Sunday, but she at least had hopes of picking up one region - which would have been a first and a boost for her presidential bid.
It didn't happen - once again her voters stayed away from the polls - and overall these elections have been a big disappointment for the hard right.
The winners are the mainstream right whose candidates held on easily to the regions they already controlled. One of them the former minister Xavier Bertrand, whose fief is the northern Hauts-de-France region, is now openly a candidate for the presidency next year.
The number of people who have died in the collapse of a high-rise apartment building in Miami has risen to nine, officials say.
Speaking at a press conference, Miami-Dade's county mayor Daniella Levine Cava said that eight bodies had been recovered from the rubble since Thursday's disaster and another victim had died in hospital.
Four of the victims have been identified: Stacie Fang, 54, Antonio Lozano, 83, Gladys Lozano, 79, and Manuel LaFont, 54.

The number of dead is expected to rise, with more than 150 people still missing.
Experts from Israel and Mexico have joined the search and rescue effort, aided by search dogs, sonar, drones and infrared scanning.
There is still hope that some people have been able to survive in air pockets formed in the debris.
On Saturday, Ms Cava had said the efforts were being hampered by a fire in the wreckage, but she said on Sunday that the blaze had been dealt with.

Asked by Sky's Martha Kelner when the search and rescue operation would become a "search and recovery operation", fire chief Alan Cominsky said crews would keep looking for survivors for "as long as we can".
"The biggest thing now is hope," he said.
"That's what's driving us. It's an extremely difficult situation."

The report said that the 12-storey apartment block would need $9.1m (£6.5m) in repairs to fix defects that included major structural damage beneath the pool deck and "concrete deterioration" in the underground carpark.
Donna DiMaggio Berger, a lawyer who works with the residents' association, said the board had taken out a $12m (£8.6m) line of credit to pay for the repairs and asked owners to pay $80,000 (£57,000) each.
Roof repairs had started and the board had been gathering bids for the concrete work, but the pandemic had slowed the project, she added.

It was not clear if the damage described in the report was connected to the collapse, but Gregg Schlesinger, a lawyer and former general contractor who specialises in construction-failure cases, appeared convinced.
He said investigations and the inevitable lawsuits would eventually reveal the full story, but he added: "We do know one thing: there was a structural failure.
"We know another thing: The structural failure should not have occurred."
The two blocks built just one year apart, with the same design and same builders, yet residents of the north tower have been told that evacuation is not necessary.
Donald Trump reprised baseless election fraud claims and hinted at a run for office in 2024 in his first campaign-style rally since leaving the White House.
The former president's event at Ohio's Lorain County Fairgrounds on Saturday night was held to support Max Miller, a former White House aide who is challenging Republican representative Anthony Gonzalez for his congressional seat.
Mr Gonzalez was one of 10 Republicans in the House of Representatives who voted to impeach Mr Trump for his role in inciting the deadly 6 January riot at the Capitol building.
In his remarks on Saturday, Mr Trump revisited false claims from his fruitless challenges of President Joe Biden's election victory.
He said of election night: "On the evening of 3 November the election was over and then all of a sudden things started closing down all over.

"We took a massive victory, they did, into something that should never be allowed."
The former president was in fact describing a legitimate vote counting process that saw Mr Biden take the lead as the night wore on.

Trump administration officials and top officials in Republican-led states affirmed the validity of the election outcome.
In another echo of the past, the crowd chanted "Lock her up" at the mention of Hillary Clinton, the Democrat he defeated in the presidential race in 2016.
Traffic was backed up from the fairgrounds into town, where pro-Trump signs dotted residents' lawns.
Vendors sold "Trump 2024" flags and other merchandise on street corners as supporters arrived.
The rally, held five months after Mr Trump left office, marks the beginning of a new, more public phase of his post-presidency.
After spending much of his time behind closed doors building a political operation and fuming about the last election, Mr Trump is planning a flurry of public appearances in the coming weeks.
He will hold another rally in Florida over 4 July weekend, unattached to a midterm candidate, and will travel to the southern border in the coming week to protest Mr Biden's immigration policies.
The rally also came as Trump faces immediate legal jeopardy.
Manhattan prosecutors informed his company on Thursday that it could soon face criminal charges stemming from a wide-ranging investigation into the former president's business dealings.
Image:The former president still has many loyal followers
The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that charges could be filed against the Trump Organization within days.
Mr Trump has denounced the investigations as nothing more than a "witch hunt" aimed at damaging him politically.
Although Mr Trump remains a deeply polarizing figure, he is extremely popular with the Republican base, and candidates have flocked to his homes in Florida and New Jersey seeking his endorsement.
Mr Trump has said he is committed to helping Republicans regain control of Congress in next year's midterm elections.
But his efforts to support - and recruit - candidates to challenge incumbent Republicans who have crossed him put him at odds with other Republican leaders who have been trying to unify the party after a brutal year in which they lost control of the White House and failed to gain control of either chamber of Congress.
So far, nine of the 10 House Republicans who voted for Mr Trump's impeachment have drawn primary challengers. And Mr Trump has offered to support anyone who steps forward to challenge the remaining candidate, Rep. John Katko of New York, syracuse.com reported.
Mr Trump boasted Friday morning as he called into the conservative Newsmax channel and explained his endorsement rationale: "We're giving tremendous endorsements.
"Fake Republicans, anybody that voted for the impeachment doesn't get it.
"But there weren't too many of them. And I think most of them are being, if not all, are being primaried right now, so that's good. I'll be helping their opponent."
Mr Gonzalez, a former college and professional football player, has stood by his impeachment vote in the face of fierce criticism from his party's conservative wing, including his censure by the Ohio Republican Party.
Mr Trump also tease the possibility he will mount a comeback run for the White House in 2024.
Aides say Mr Trump, who was banned from Twitter and Facebook in January, will make a decision after the midterms at the end of next year.
Macron: Regional results in France ‘bruising’ says expert
And the 43-year-old has been warned he can no longer rely on France’s electoral system to prevent the election of a right-wing candidate such as National Rally’s Marine Le Pen next year. Meanwhile former EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier is likely to be hampered by his lack of charisma, Dr Joseph Downing said.

The LSE Fellow in Nationalism at the LSE's European Institute was speaking at a time when Mr Macron is hampered by poor approval ratings, with polls suggesting he faces being beaten by Mrs Le Pen in the first round of voting next year.
Ms Le Pen’s party suffered a setback in regional elections, picking up 18 percent of the vote nationwide - nine points down on last year.
However, Mr Macron’s party did even worse, winning just ten percent of the vote.

And with Politico’s Poll of Polls, which includes surveys up to and including June 21, showing Mrs Le Pen, on 27 percent, narrowly leading Mr Macron, on 25 percent, in terms of first round preferences, Dr Downing said concern was mounting, especially given turnout slumped to 33 percent.
He told Express.co.uk: “He is worried for two reasons.
“Locals will be seen as somewhat of a litmus test on his very unpopular presidency.

“Very low turn out is a bad sign as it shows not only his, and his “movements” inability to inspire voters, but can also empower more radical political fringes who are more likely to vote.”
In accordance with France’s two-stage Presidential election, multiple candidates face off in a first round before the top two move on to a second a fortnight later.
In 2017, Mr Macron took 24 percent of the vote in the first round, with Mrs Le Pen winning just over 21 percent to finish second.

In the second, he won comfortably, taking 66 percent of the vote - almost double that of his opponent.
Conventional wisdom has it the system effectively prevents extreme candidates such as Ms Le Pen from prevailing.
However, Dr Downing said Mr Macron could no longer take victory for granted.

He explained: “To me the problem with that explanation is voter fatigue.
“How many times can you mobilise a population around the emergency “threat” rhetoric, especially in the face of the COVID and vaccination fiasco?
“In short we are not in the context in which that hypothesis was formed - who would have thought Trump could win?”
With respect to Mr Barnier, who is widely believed to be considering throwing his hat in the ring, Dr Downing said: “Barnier is interesting.
Xavier Bertrand is also a candidate (Image: GETTY)
“He is more prominent in British politics due to Brexit and is little known, and little respected, in the French context.
“He is a bureaucrat and has the charisma of a bureaucrat - a breath of fresh air in the face of Macron’s veneer of arrogance and Le Pen’s thinly cloaked xenophobia? Or just boring? I think the latter.”
The first round of voting in the 2022 French Presidential election will take place on April 10, with the second round scheduled for April 24.
Apart from Mr Macron and Mrs Le Pen, other confirmed candidates include Xavier Bertrand and Jean-Luc Melenchon.
Donald Trump has held his first campaign-style rally since leaving the White House, repeating his election grievances and baseless claims of fraud as he urged his supporters to help Republicans win back majorities in the United States Congress.
Saturday’s rally in Ohio – a state the former president carried in the 2020 election – marks a return to the kind of freewheeling mass gatherings that have been critical to retaining the support of his base.
It was held to support Max Miller, a former White House aide who is challenging Republican Representative Anthony Gonzalez for his congressional seat. Gonzalez was one of 10 Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the January 6 attack on the US Capitol in the wake of his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump has pledged to back those who challenge the 10 legislators in the upcoming Republican primaries.
The Democratic Party’s razor-thin majorities in both chambers of Congress will be on the line in the 2022 mid-term elections and history favours Republicans’ chances of gaining seats in those contests.
“We will take back the House, we will take back the Senate, and we will take back America, and we will do it soon,” Trump told thousands of cheering supporters at Ohio’s Lorain County Fairgrounds.

The former president has offered to support anyone who steps forward to challenge the remaining candidate, Representative John Katko of New York, according to the website syracuse.com.
Trump has also endorsed a challenger to Senator Lisa Murkowski, the only one of the seven Senate Republicans who voted to convict him in his January impeachment trial who is up for re-election in 2022.
‘Scam of the century’
The Ohio event in Wellington, about 40 miles (64km) southwest of Cleveland, was the first of three public appearances, followed by a trip to the US-Mexico border on June 30 and a rally in Sarasota, Florida, on July 3.
While Trump praised Miller as an “incredible patriot” and a “great guy” who “loves the people of Ohio,” he spent much of his 90-minute address fixating on the 2020 election, which he insists he won, even though top state and local election officials, his own attorney general and numerous judges, including some he appointed, have said there is no evidence of the mass voter fraud he alleges took place.
“This was the scam of the century and this was the crime of the century,” Trump said. “The 2020 presidential election was rigged. We won that election in a landslide.”
The crowd chanted “Trump won” and “four more years! four more years!”. But the former president made no clear mention of his political future.
He did, however, tease the crowd at one point by alluding to the possibility of another stab at the White House.
“We may have to win it a third time. It is possible,” he said.

Prosecutors in Manhattan informed his company on Thursday that it could soon face criminal charges stemming from a wide-ranging investigation into the former president’s business dealings. The New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that charges could be filed against the Trump Organization within days.
Trump has denounced the investigations as nothing more than a “witch hunt” aimed at damaging him politically.
Immigration
The former president also used the Ohio rally to lambast Biden, calling him a “catastrophe” and focusing on the rising number of immigrants crossing over the US southern border – an issue Republicans have zeroed in on to rally their voters.
“You have millions of people coming into our country. We have no idea who they are. Joe Biden is doing the exact opposite as we did,” Trump said.
“Joe Biden is destroying our nation before our very eyes,” he added.
Trump’s rallies have been instrumental to his politics since he launched his 2016 campaign and his supporters in Ohio said they hoped he would use such events to help unify the party behind like-minded candidates for Congress.
“Continuing these rallies is extremely important,” said Jessica Dicken, a 30-year-old stay-at-home mother from southeast Ohio, adding Trump could be “a voice for the more conservative movement here in Ohio and across the nation”.
Chris Laskowski, 55, who lives in Medina, Ohio, said she missed Trump.
“I think they robbed him of the election and he’s still our president.”
Trump’s repeated false claims of election fraud have taken hold of the Republican Party, with 53 percent of Republican voters saying they believe Trump won the 2020 election, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll. They blamed his loss on illegal voting, the poll found.
Republican strategist Matt Dole said both Trump and those vying to stay close to him benefitted from the public bonhomie on display at the Ohio event. Some of the candidates now seeking his endorsement have made disparaging comments about Trump in the past.
“These are marriages of convenience,” said Dole, who is based in Ohio. “Donald Trump is using these opportunities to keep his name out there, to keep the base motivated.”
Viktor Orban left a bruising EU summit at 2am on Friday with a lecture on the meaning of Christianity from fellow European leaders ringing in his ears.
The self-proclaimed standard bearer of “illiberal democracy” and traditional Christian values in Europe endured two hours of being upbraided over his government’s bill to ban content depicting or promoting LGBTI+ people in schools and the media.
“If you truly believe in God, you have to be tolerant”, Latvia’s Krisjanis Karins told the Hungarian leader, according to diplomats familiar with the discussion. Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and Italy’s prime minister Mario Draghi also slammed Orban’s legislation as a violation of Christian ethics, officials said.
Diplomats described how EU leaders tore into Hungary’s premier with a vehemence rarely seen in European Council meetings, where presidents and prime ministers usually eschew personalising their disputes.
Dutch prime minister Mark Rutte, who led the charge, even asked Orban to consider triggering the Article 50 exit process to leave the bloc if he was unwilling to repeal the legislation.
It was as if pent-up anger over Orban’s flouting of the rule of law, media freedom and minority rights had exploded after years in which he had escaped censure thanks to support from the centre-right European People’s party and its leading light, Germany’s Angela Merkel. But that support has now evaporated, and Merkel lined up with the other critics.
“This could really be a turning point,” said Klara Dobrev, a Hungarian opposition member of the European parliament, adding that Budapest and Brussels were now locked into confrontation.
The backlash over the paedophilia bill, which several EU leaders said equated being gay with sexual offences against children, appeared to wrongfoot Orban, who has spent years picking fights with Brussels. At the end of the discussion, he complained of being “attacked” from all sides and asked his fellow leaders to consider how they would feel.
Personal attachment to gay rights may explain some EU leaders’ reactions. Luxembourg’s Xavier Bettel gave a moving account of his struggles to be accepted as gay that “bought many to tears”, Rutte told the Financial Times. Sanna Marin, Finland’s prime minister, the daughter of a gay couple, called the debate “painful”.
“This was personal”, said one diplomat.
French president Emmanuel Macron said the controversy posed an “existential question for Europeans” that went beyond the conduct of Orban or his allies in Poland and Slovenia, the only countries to rally to his defence.
“Today we have democratically elected leaders supported by their people who are in the process of taking decisions that contravene the fundamental values of Europe,” Macron said. “It is no small issue”.
Peter Kreko, director of the Political Capital Institute, a research outfit in Budapest, said Orban had wanted to cause a row with Brussels to distract attention from an unpopular plan to build a campus for China’s Fudan University in Budapest.
Orban also wanted to divide the opposition parties which have vowed to present a united front against the premier’s Fidesz party in parliamentary elections next year, Kreko said. Jobbik, a far right party aligned with the opposition, backed the homosexuality amendments.
The Hungarian leader has in recent weeks sharpened his anti-Brussels rhetoric, notably with a speech last weekend when he called for the abolition of a directly elected European parliament and warned that the EU was turning into the Soviet “empire”. Orban’s opponents say he is putting Hungary’s EU membership at risk.
Agoston Mroz, the chief executive of Nezopont, a research institute close to Fidesz, said claims Orban wants to pull Hungary out of the EU were rubbish.
“It is about the kind of membership and his vision of a union of nation states,” he said, pointing out that Orban wanted to create a new political family for nationalist parties after Fidesz was pushed out of the EPP earlier this year.
“He needs to create a new platform and to polarise,” Mroz said.
Meanwhile, Brussels looks set to take legal action. Didier Reynders, EU justice commissioner, said the Hungarian law was “a clear violation” of fundamental values, but Brussels needed to show there was breach of a specific EU laws, such as audiovisual or ecommerce legislation.
“This is less evident when you see the situation,” Reynders said.
The Hungarian government says the law is not discriminatory because it also bans material aimed at children that promotes sexuality in general. The legal battle could be protracted and simply add to the list of other cases the EU is pursuing on other Hungarian breaches relating to academic freedom, NGOs and immigration.
At the same time, Orban’s opponents hope the EU’s financial leverage could bring him into line. The commission is due next week to sign off on Hungary’s plans to spend €7bn of EU recovery fund money. MEPs from the centrist Renew Europe group have demanded it withhold approval due to the paedophilia law.
Brussels is unlikely to acquiesce but it can suspend disbursements if economic reform commitments are not met by Hungary. The commission also has new powers under the so-called rule of law conditionality mechanism allowing it to suspend funds if it feels the rule of law in Hungary is under threat.
“The real fight will be if we can leverage the process to put pressure on him”, said one diplomat.
Dobrev, the Hungarian MEP, said it was inevitable these safeguards would be deployed against Orban’s government, raising the stakes in the confrontation. “Next year, his campaign slogan will be ‘Orban or Europe for Hungary?’” Dobrev said. “What else can he do?”
Another body has been found by search and rescue teams in the rubble of a collapsed 12-storey tower block near Miami on Saturday, raising the death toll to five as they raced against time to recover any survivors while fighting back fire and smoke deep inside the concrete and metal remains.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced the new toll at an evening media briefing, saying the discovery of the body dropped the number of unaccounted for down to 156.
She said crews struggling throughout the day in the debris also found other unspecified human remains.
The Miami-Dade Police Department said four of the five deceased had been identified, along with the apartments where they were at the moment of the collapse. One was the mother of a boy who was rescued the night the building toppled, another couple in their late 70s and early 80s and a 54-year-old man.

The mayor also added that the reason the missing number went down by three was because authorities had identified three bodies. Officials said the remains they find are being sent to the medical examiner, and they are also gathering DNA samples from family members to help identify them.
Throughout the day, she noted, rescue workers continued to go over the massive mountain of debris with rescue dogs and sonar searching for any survivors. “Our top priority continues to be search and rescue and saving any lives that we can”, she said.
Earlier, emergency workers said their efforts to recover any survivors were being hampered as they battled fire and smoke coming from deep inside the concrete and metal pile of rubble.
Rescuers used infrared technology, thousands of gallons of water and foam to battle the "very deep" blaze, the source of which is unclear. Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said rescuers faced “incredible difficulties” because of the flames.
A fire hose blasted one of the lower floors on the north side of the tower as white smoke or steam streamed out, and a bitter, sulfur-like smell hung in the air.
“The stench is very thick,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said.
Rescue and recovery teams from across the country are arriving in Miami to help in the efforts, with each team working in half-hour rotations in grueling conditions.
"It's a lot more devastating in person than it is in pictures," rescue worker Captain Rick Vila said. "If we save one life that makes it all worthwhile," he added.

A 2018 engineering report on the building revealed that the seafront block of flats had “major structural damage” to a concrete structural slab below its pool deck that needed to be extensively repaired.
The report was among a series of documents released by the city of Surfside as rescuers continued to dig on Saturday through the rubble of the building in an effort to find any of the 156 people who remain unaccounted for after its collapse.
While the engineering report from the firm of Morabito Consultants did not warn of imminent danger from the damage, and it is unclear if any of the damage observed was responsible for the collapse, it did note the need for extensive and costly repairs to fix the systemic issues with the building.
It said the waterproofing under the pool deck had failed and had been improperly laid flat instead of sloped, preventing water from draining off.
“The failed waterproofing is causing major structural damage to the concrete structural slab below these areas.
“Failure to replace the waterproofing in the near future will cause the extent of the concrete deterioration to expand exponentially,” the report said.
The firm recommended that the damaged slabs be replaced in what would be a major repair.

The report also uncovered “abundant cracking and spalling” of concrete columns, beams and walls in the parking garage.
It also noted that many of the building’s previous attempts to fix the columns and other damage were marred by poor workmanship and were failing.
Beneath the pool deck “where the slab had been epoxy-injected, new cracks were radiating from the originally repaired cracks”, the report said.
At the site where the building once stood, scores of rescuers used big machines, small buckets, drones, microphones and their own hands to pick through the mountain of debris that had been the 12-storey Champlain Towers South.
On Saturday, a crane could be seen removing pieces of rubble from a more than 30ft pile at the site.

Meanwhile, firefighters were still dealing with smoke that continued smouldering underneath the rubble.
Miami-Dade mayor Daniella Levine Cava told WPLG on Saturday that there was no change in the number of people still unaccounted for.
“We are at status quo,” she said. “I’m hopeful this will be a day that we will have a breakthrough.”
Rachel Spiegel was anxious for any update on her missing mother, 66-year-old Judy Spiegel, who lived on the sixth floor.
“I’m just praying for a miracle,” Ms Spiegel said. “We’re heartbroken that she was even in the building.”
Hopes rested on how quickly crews could complete their grim task in Surfside, just a few miles north of Miami Beach’s South Beach.
“Any time that we hear a sound, we concentrate in that area,” Miami-Dade assistant fire chief Raide Jadallah said.
“It could be just steel twisting, it could be debris raining down, but not specifically sounds of tapping or sounds of a human voice.”
Surfside mayor Charles Burkett said crews were doing everything possible to save as many people as they could.
“We do not have a resource problem, we have a luck problem,” he said.
