and doesn't want not an ideologue and doesn't want any political party, even he served in francois larne's government, he was not a member of the socialist party. he turned this advantage into a formidable assets to challenge the traditional left and right wing at the terry system systems that have dominated french politics of decades. thank you very much. now, we believe that emmanuel macron i am being told, is about to exit the elysee palace, as he walks with his wife, brigitte. so many greetings and m essa 9 es brigitte. so many greetings and m essa g es of brigitte. so many greetings and messages of congratulations, francois hollande, the outgoing president, apparently said, by way ofa president, apparently said, by way of a good buy "bon courage!" as he left the lazy palace for the last as president. —— as he left the ely is

a palace. —— elysee palace. after the inauguration, emmanuel macron briefly kissed her hand. after that inauguration we have a 21 gun salute ringing out from the military hospital on the other side of the river seine. then the new president will be driven to the arc de triomphe where he will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. emmanuel macron, in his speech, at the inauguration said that everyone was wondering whether france would look back in this presidential election, all look to the future. he said that france had chosen the future and not the past. and that the world, and europe, now

more than ever needs a strong france thatis more than ever needs a strong france that is sure of its own destiny. and if france but he said no —— knows how to invent the future. he spoke of the achievements of the previous presidents of the fifth republic. charles de gaulle, francois hollande... he charles de gaulle, francois hollande. .. he knows charles de gaulle, francois hollande... he knows the challenges that he now faces because he wants to modernise france, as he said, for decades now, france has doubted itself. he said hisjob decades now, france has doubted itself. he said his job was to give the french people confidence in themselves. he said the power of france is not declining. we are on the edge of a great renaissance, he said. a lot of fine words, of course. as you tend to get at inauguration speeches but there is a lot of hard work to do and he knows

starting off with the national assembly parliamentary elections, he needs to get a majority there. to help him effectively rule france. a tall order with his new movement, en marche, he only created a year or so ago, scrambling to get candidates for the national assembly elections. that is one of his jobs, he needs to form a government. we are hearing that he will appoint a prime minister probably tomorrow, and a new government on tuesday. he is off to see chancellor tee of germany shortly as well, because he is, as we have been hearing, a very committed pro—european, who not only wa nts to committed pro—european, who not only wants to make france stronger, but very much wants to make europe stronger as well. there is huge

security, as you would expect, surrounding this event. some 1500 police officers, we are hearing, have been deployed around the elysee palace. let's go back over to our french journalist who has been analysing what all of this means... a wonderful spectacle here at the elysee palace, will the new president be comfortable in his surroundings? he said that he wants to live in the elysee palace. that is quite unusual. historically, the president of the republic and before, they haven't really been at ease in this old palace. i think it was first used by napoleon iii and then the president of the republic, many of them did not like them, at the start of the 19th century there was not a kitchen for the president, they had to take a meal from

outside. the president of the fifth republic, most of them kept their private apartment in paris, and tried to basically make the elysee palace their offices, it's not easy most of the time. they had to live with it at the elysee palace most of the time. francois hollande, you will remember, said "i will be a normal president, normal people do not live in a palace". that is quite true, but when he basically separated from his partner, she kept the apartment so he had to live in the apartment so he had to live in the palace. now, emmanuel macron has already said that he intends to live in the elysee palace. although he's gotan in the elysee palace. although he's got an apartment in paris, he also has a nice fellow elsewhere. we will see if he goes there at the weekend 01’ see if he goes there at the weekend or not. —— a nice villa. emmanuel

macron will have to do some restorations and restoring of the palace, redecoration is, there are a lot of rooms and corridors, it is not very practical or up—to—date. although it is very grandiose and beautiful, and it is a palace, for a president, it is a bit of a paradox. it isn't very cosy, not as cosy as it looks. we will see how brigitte macron settles, the wife of the president is important as to how they live in the palace. jacques chirac‘s wife loved the elysee palace. it was not a popular opinion but she loved it. the couple are seen but she loved it. the couple are seen as but she loved it. the couple are seen as the ones who were most at ease at living at the elysee palace. if brigitte macron makes the elysee palace her home, that is where

emmanuel macron is going to be! we know that she is very influential on him. if she decides that is her home, that is where they will be. it is funny, we saw francois hollande give a talk to people of the elysee palace. there were some pictures, and there was a little salon. when a president of another republic in 1985 came forward, he was apparently having a dalliance with his mistress. he died half naked in the elysee palace. it is a palace for the history and stories. —— full of history and stories. the president is keen on french history and he may find something a bit of interest in this historically charged palace. not a bad place to live! not at all!

i think we are going to hear the band strike up. peter full scenes inside of the elysee palace there. —— beautiful scenes. wonderful splendour, and a great deal of pomp and ceremony for this inauguration which is nearly complete. the election results were read out a few minutes ago by laurent fabius, that was the moment, as he is chairman of the constitutional council, and a former prime minister. when he read out the results of the election where emmanuel macron beat the far right leader marine le pen, that was the moment emmanuel macron assumed presidency at the age of 39. a few minutes earlier he had a meeting with the outgoing president francois hollande, and there he is. the new french president. he has been given

the nuclear codes, we are told. he is now the french president, walking out of the elysee palace, taking salutes and walking along the red carpet. band plays band plays band plays french national anthem

band plays french national anthem studio: so, the new president of france... reviewing the troops outside of the elysee palace in the sunshine now. earlier it was raining. it was a rather miserable day. while that inauguration ceremony has been taking place

inside of the elysee, the sun is out and the sky is blue. perhaps symbolic of the new presidency, who knows? the guns have now been fired outside with the eiffel tower in the background. really, it is an extraordinary political story, the former investment banker and a former investment banker and a former minister in francois hollande's government who some say isa hollande's government who some say is a protege of francois hollande, has really had a remarkable rise to power. defeating marine le pen in the election, 65% and 20 million votes. a decisive and overwhelming

victory which, he said, was france looking to the future and not the past. no doubt that there are huge challenges that he now faces. speaks french. speaks french. so, in the background you can hear guns being fired, a 21 gun salute ringing out. and then after this, the new president will be driven to the new president will be driven to the arc de triomphe, where he will lay a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier. a lot of

challenges, as i was saying, some daunting. high unemployment. terrorism, of course, which has scarred france terrorism, of course, which has scarred france over terrorism, of course, which has scarred france over the last couple of years. and caused such a loss of life. and, not least, trying to unite a country that the election showed is deeply divided. and trying to win over, i suppose, all of those who did not vote for him, who voted for marine le pen or abstained, trying to get them behind him as pa rt trying to get them behind him as part of his drive, what he called the renaissance of france. that is what he wants to do, to modernise france. to give it back confidence, he said. but he has stepped back into the elysee palace now. with his wife, brigitte. it is a momentous day for france. a day of huge

symbolism. the kind of ceremony that they love in france, as much as we do here in britain. because of course he is head of state of the fifth republic. as well as the nation's political leader. emmanuel macron becomes france's youngest post—war leader, and the first to be born after 1958, when president charles de gaulle put in place the fifth republic. 0ur correspondent karin giannone is in paris... not farfrom the not far from the leaves a palace, where this spectacle is unfolding? —— elysee palace. where this spectacle is unfolding? -- elysee palace. we can hear a 21 gun salute rumbling, shaking the

buildings here by the elysee palace. lam buildings here by the elysee palace. i am pleased to say that we are joined by the telegraph economist and elizabeth muto, you were here as and elizabeth muto, you were here as a junior reporter covering the inauguration in 1981? yes, i followed that campaign, almost my firstjob. an extraordinary followed that campaign, almost my first job. an extraordinary scene as he brought in historic figures, the photographer who took the pictures, and all sorts of people who had never seen a and all sorts of people who had never seen a left—wing government for 23 years. it was impressive and very moving. he took it in his stride. looking at the pictures, does anything change about the ceremony itself? the route to this presidency has been so unconventional and yet we have the full patriotically but of france right there? first of all, it

doesn't change. the media invite more people at the inauguration for the elysee palace there run does now he has 400 people, that is very few. but apart from that, because he is young, he is conscious of the fact he has this celebrity. at the louvre, he crossed on the night of his victory, all alone wearing an old—fashioned three quarters coat. he was copying the very staged way of the inauguration of the previous president. i am very young but i can do this. i understand how solemn the occasion is, and it was a rebuke to francois hollande, who never felt that there was a need for pomp and anything like it. he's the first president to be born since the beginning of the fifth republic?

yes, iam beginning of the fifth republic? yes, i am counting back, beginning of the fifth republic? yes, iam counting back, he beginning of the fifth republic? yes, i am counting back, he was a young president, born much earlier. he has never known anything else.“ you go through the french press, all of this celebration and solemnity of the moment, the power of the presidency and thoughts have returned immediately. there hasn't been a breath before they are turning to his challenges. no pause on reflection or celebration personally. it is straight into worrying about legislative elections onjune worrying about legislative elections on june the 11th? it is key, can he govern or does he need straight off the bat? we have a prime minister with a political opponent, which would hamstring him every minute. right now, he is... last week,

actually, he has been arguing and negotiating with various parties to bring over from the right and the left more moderates of each party. he has been demanding of them that they should leave the party partisanship, and give back their party cards and become members of one marsh, —— en marche. he has 229 mps, the largest group but not the majority. now, the right can change in the next five weeks, that is counted at 160. we are talking about the republicans. they could have anywhere between 20 and 40. the left would be shattered, because many socialists are within en marche and

the socialist party machine, and if he does not control what is going on with the elections, he cannot rule. and briefly, there is a big military component to this event. it reminds us component to this event. it reminds us that the president is in charge of the army and armed forces. he does not have to bring questions to parliament or congress away the american president does. the french like it that way. the french are aware that you need decisive no and it isa aware that you need decisive no and it is a country that is perfectly accepted by the left and right. and elizabeth, thank you. emmanuel macron after the inspection of the guard, he is going to go through the gardens of the elysee palace and then onto the champs—elysees where he will then go to the arc de triomphe. thank you. the ceremonials

there at the elysee palace. drawing toa there at the elysee palace. drawing to a close. france has a new president, emmanuelle macron inaugurated as the new president of france at the age of 39 —— emmanuel macron. time now for a look at some of the other main news stories of the day. most of the health organisations in england and scotland that were affected by a global cyber attack are back up and running, but some patients face continued disruption with six trusts in england still affected. security experts are warning workers to protect their devices amid warnings of a new wave of ransomware attacks. we have been hearing in the last couple of minutes from europe —— europol who say 150 countries we re —— europol who say 150 countries were affected by that cyber attack with some 200,000 victims, that is

what the head of europol rob wainwright has been saying. 200,000 victims, in at least 150 countries, affected by that cyber attack with ransom ware. the global reach was unprecedented. 200,000 victims in 150 countries. many of those victims will be businesses including large corporations. we are in the face of an escalating threat, say europol. numbers are going up and they are worried numbers will continue to grow when people go back to work tomorrow and turn on their computers. a report on the latest developments from our correspondence, richard galpin. this unprecedented global cyber attack hit the nhs hardest, leading to cancellations and delays at hospitals and gp surgeries across england and scotland. but ministers attending a meeting of the crisis response team cobra yesterday concluded that the situation was back under

control and the nhs was working as normal again, for the most part. and nhs officials insisted that the disruption was not because they were using old microsoft computer operating systems vulnerable to attack. the nhs has some of the most up—to—date technology in the world. if you look back to december 2015, about one in five devices were using xp but now it is less than one in 20. although the worse may be over for now, several hospitals like this one here in york are warning that the disruption will continue beyond the weekend. in the wake of such a virulent cyber attack, security experts are calling on everyone to take simple measures to protect their computers from hackers demanding ransoms to unlock their computer files. the first one is to make sure that your security software patches are up—to—date. the second is to employ proper and good antivirus software

and the third and most important for ra nsomwa re protection is to back—up your data. but britain was just one of over 100 countries hit by the cyber attack. russia was apparently targeted the most while european telecommunications and car companies were also targeted, as were schools and universities in china. richard galpin, bbc news. this morning, the defence secretary michael fallon told andrew marr that the government had identified in its security review that cyber threats were one of the greatest threats to the country. in our security reviewjust over a year and a few months ago, we identified cyber threats as one of the three principal threats and we set aside £1.9 billion to protect us better against cyber and a large chunk of that went to the nhs. but you didn't pay for the upgrade in 2015. hang on, we are spending around £50 million on the nhs cyber systems

to improve their security. we have encouraged the nhs trusts to reduce their exposure to the weakest system, the windows xp. only 5%, less than 5% of the trusts, actually use that system any more and there is money available to strengthen these systems. but you did not pay for them to strengthen that system at a crucial moment in 2015, did you? that was an old system, we didn't want them to use that. we wanted them to use modern systems that are better protected. we warned them and they were warned again in the spring. they were warned again of the threats. by the government, is that what you are saying? we all had to work at this. the nhs wasn't particularly targeted, the same attacks applied to nissan on friday and in other areas of the economy and indeed around the world. but let me just assure you we are spending money on strengthening the cyber defence of our hospital system. and the latest on the general

election... the conservatives say they'lljoin forces with councils and housing associations to build thousands of new homes for rent — if they win the general election. theresa may says she wants to fix a broken market. it's not clear how much money the tories would invest, and labour have dismissed the announcement as spin. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. it is my great pleasure to hand that over to you. mrs thatcher became famous for selling off council houses. but this conservative prime minister is now pledging to help local authorities build more of them. if re—elected, theresa may would give councils new powers to purchase derelict land and buildings at below market value. housing associations as well as local authorities could then use these to build more homes for rent. some homes would be sold off after ten to 15 years. tenants would have first option to buy and then proceeds used to fund more rented housing. the policy is aimed at voters who might not be traditionally conservative supporters, including some of the million people on housing waiting lists. while the conservatives say thousands of new homes would be

provided, a precise figure is yet to be given and they have not said how much extra funding would be given. labour pledges to build 100,000 homes a year for rent and sale by the end of next parliament. the party says that conservative policy is spin, not substance, as some of the details are yet to be revealed. iain watson, bbc news. labour says it would raise billions of pounds for public services with a new tax on financial transactions — known as a "robin hood" tax. the party said extending the way shares were taxed would bring in up to £26 billion in the next parliament, if they won the general election. the conservatives described labour's plans as a "shambles". speaking on the andrew marr show, the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, said it's right that all transactions including

so called derivatives, are taxed the same. the truth is is that at the moment, we the truth is is that at the moment, we have got a tax which applies when you buy stocks and shares. currently, some people called market—makers, with hedge funds is and so on, if they buy these shares they do not pay the tax. i don't understand why that is, but the other thing is that we also think that we should extend this tax to different types of financial instruments. it is a betting on the stock market and will help to stabilise it. many other countries do it. hillary clinton wanted to do it if she was elected as president, nibley says that she is trying to undermine wall street. the eu is looking at that... it should be done in coordination with other countries to avoid hedge fund managers from moving to paris or dublin, wherever? you want to keep businesses here?|j think you want to keep businesses here?” think the house of lords committee on this was interesting, looking at

any changes of behaviour and they said they did not think it would be as drastic as some of the doomsayers say that it will. it is a question of just tidying this say that it will. it is a question ofjust tidying this tax up. it does not seem to me to be right you can bet on the stock market or bet on the debts of a company and not pay tax, whereas it you want to invest, you have to pay tax. emily thornberry on the andrew marr show this morning. leeds bradford airport has re—opened after police carried out a controlled explosion on a suspicious package. incoming flights were diverted, and departing flights were delayed, while the item was dealt with after eight o'clock last night. police say the incident is not believed to have been malicious or terror—related. portugal has won the eurovision song contest for the first time in the history of the competition. salvador sobral, who is awaiting a heart transplant, lifted the trophy after winning over both the internationaljuries, and the tv viewers. the uk's lucie jones delivered the country's best result in six years, as our correspondent steve rosenberg reports.

he could not believe it. but salvador sobral had just won eurovision. his victory is portugal's first in the contest after 49 attempts. as for the song, amar pelos dois, his sister wrote it and it is very un—eurovision. no gimmicks, no video screens. just a melancholic melody and his charisma and charm. bulgaria came second. portuguese eurovision fans have been waiting for this moment for such a long time. they had grown so used to losing that winning sparked plenty of emotion. amazing. it will be amazing. it is like a dream come true. flying the flag for

the uk was luciejones. a power ballad, never give up on you, placed 15th, our best result for six years. were you aiming for a particular place? no, ijust did not want to come last, so actually i did really well. and, of course, this being eurovision there was weird... there was wonderful... and what on earth was this?! but perhaps it won't be the music we remember. it's the mischief. during the interval act, a man got up on stage and bared his bottom
