so most people probably lying in and they will be waking up to this new political reality that neem are sporns of the bring you multiple angles here, the european angle, the french angle. they separate tded his decisive victory, we look forward to it. >> there was a lot of excitement outside on sunday night where supporters waited to hear the victory speech. he talked about healing the country's division and his unlikely kind to be the next went to wrote up against. >> what we have done for months and months now, has no pre. >> you have to make him. everybody it was possible.

but they didn't know france. and the rivalry, le pen, congratulated him after the vote. she called why did he record performance in the election, never been group. >> we have to renew our forces at this historic event. we embark on new face for our party, which the feint -- for the country takes it back to it feet again. >> quick look at the final numbers. the prom is 66% of the vote, a lopsided victory four in that room. let's bring in saw net na bell she went to the campaign as well as his supporters. i want to tap into one of the privileges that we have as journalist that we get to meet these people who make the news. you have met him, you have

spoken to him. you got to ask. you you got to ask the questions that you wanted. what do you make of the man who is about to be the next president. >> he's something of an s intellectu intellectual. >> not just in the last few months, been speaking to bass classrooms who said they weren't going into politics this, of course, his body would seek to become president. we have believed he would be a writer. i think she found himself the far right candidate and last couple of weeks who had this this ability to speak with good parent and short had this center if we impressed. because he didn't have the

capacity. first of all, he tends to speak not so much, because he had the heart of the position to defend. the proeuropean and the platform, which is simply not the days of many countries. it's hard for me to say. it made it successful for your not to score that 66%. >> melissa bell reporting live from paris. thank you very much, melissa. >> that would have been figure reacting to the victory around the world. let's start with u.s. president donald trump. >> he has spoke, in a tweet, he prayed, congratulations on the big win today as the next president of friends. i look forward to working with him. mr. trump's rival and election hillary clinton, thank you. >> victory for my friends around around the world. defeat to those interfering with

democracy. as theresa may she also congratulated him home and tchl two spoke like photos, topics like nato and kpef were discussed. i'm joined by ryan haste, he's currently in brussels. ryan, thank you for coming on the show. first question, there was a lot of head ringing across europe, really, because of the idea that le pen had come into power, it could be the beginning of the end of it eu. it's a political project. that did not come to pass. i think that it's a reaction. we saw -- people that had that experience. that was what it came down to. if he won. it was going to be hard to hold the eu together in any shape that we recognized and, of course, knows -- everyone who

considered themselves part of the political center want to be on the coat tails. then there's the genuine political sense that there's new hope and revig ration, so everybody was reaching for words like reinvig ration, moving forward together. and emanuel macron he's got his victory now and zero seats in the parliament as you were saying a few minutes ago. it's the easy part that's done. he's got a lot of work to do. . >> is it going to be business as usual. >> it opens up, what he's done is teach them that you can embrace the eu and it's not the death. i think that the media sometimes and i know that my friends and my colleagues in brussels can be as guilty as well. and one of those narratives in

recent month. the populace have the momentum. eu will win on the back court. there's a sense of how the eu can be discussed and how you can talk about your ability to relate upwards as with aez downwards in politics. it doesn't mean everyone is going to take the same queue. theresa may want to lose us out. she was going to face di plot -- right now she's dealing with the french they said they would be the toughest negotiator for brex it. it's gong to be a bit more difficult for her but now others have a few opportunity to stay with her. >> the victory of a progressive senate candidate, do you think that makes victory of census more likely.

>> it makes it more possible. he has two proeu candidates it's clear that one of those -- regardless of what happened in france last night. you can imagine now, for example, she dount have to be constrained by the domestic political point. he and macron have that sense about calling the eu and maybe rewriting its constitution and leaving some of that on the government. held at that for operating a victory. i think there are opportunities now. but nothing is set in stone. people like le pen can go out. he's going to have to finish up his work at home and turn to brussels and try build new movement that says the eu doesn't have to operate in that

all too many system. >> all right. reporting from brussels, thank you very much. you think european now i want to bring you up to speed in france because as soon as we send out results of the presidential election, people start thinking about what's going to happen next month, they're falling into the third round about the presidential election, that's the parliamentary election. we'll talk about that politico reporter karen france, every political party here in france is essentially having to reinvent this. >> absolutely. i think that the biggest questions are for the national front party, which fought really hard at this election and came up short, despite having people -- having favorable conditions, they're going through a lot of soul searching starting today, they'll have to reconfigure quite extensively if they want a chance in these elections, they've given a few hints already about what they

might have done wrong and what they might change in order to have a wider appeal and one of the big questions for them is do they continue to be so europe row skeptic. do they continue to propose withdraw from the european union. one of the most unpopular proposals today we've got senior nationals saying it's time to re-evaluate these things. >> the far right populace are thinking how do we reinvite ourselves and how do we redefine our political offer. >> absolutely. i think that's the diagnosis that cannot be avoided today and over the next few weeks. we've seen marine le pen saying the party need to go profound transformation. some may say it will change its name to get rid of some of the stigma and propose wider conservative plan now. and there's also going to be personnel questions, who is

responsible to me. who was responsible for the europe position and who is responsible for marine le pen's debate performance, those are questions they'll do deal with today. >> i will think tougher questions for the president elect. >> he launched a movement a year ago and yet to prove that that movement could become a political party. >> absolutely. i mean, he did prove to one extent, but that move -- >> absolutely, this is a massive challenge. there's a great deal of hope built into the victory, that he can actually reform. he can do what he was unable to do which is stimulate this economy back into job creation and back into growth. in order to do that, he's going to need all the political le vers, that means a majority of parliament. we have polls today that said would place first, but he would be short of an absolute

majority. in the print system you want full control over parliament and this means that he was going to have to deal with other parties, most likely the conservatives, in order to get his agenda through. that's -- if you don't have full control, then you need some kind of coalition. you need to reach out. >> absolutely. it can be just a few seats, a few supporters on the other side or it can be one of the opposition parties can win such a big number of seats in the election that has to nominate a prime minister from that party and then you'll have to give in to their agenda. that's what we'll see just now. he's carrying his cards very carefully. he's waiting to see a week how things shake out and see where the political momentum lies and then he's going to tell us his plan for the parliamentary lessons. >> politico reporter here, thank you so much for joining us here on this show. rosemary said key, you can have

here in france a political that's from one political party and can end up with a prime minister from another. and it is dreaded by all because it usually a recipe for no change happening over a long period of time. >> the country is divided enough, it doesn't need any more problems, we'll come back to you in just a moment, many thanks. >> and coming up after weeks of threats, north korea says it has detained another u.s. citizen, what is accused of, that's still to come. plus after three years in captivity, dozens of girls are returning home, a live report from nigeria coming up in just a moment. sometimes you just know when you hit a home run.

that's how i feel about blue-emu pain relief spray. odorless and fast-acting. it soothes all my muscle aches and pains. and it's convenient for those hard to reach places. and if you're like me, you'll love blue-emu super strength cream. it's made with real emu oil, it's non greasy, it's a deep penetrating formula that works itself down into your joints. take it from me. it works fast and you won't stink. blue-emu, it works for me it'll work for you.

election although it is playing much harder and south korean it is an issue that is constant -- it's the economy job creation well fed, of course, corruption, considering this election has been called because of a massive corruption scandal. but at this point, there is one very clear frontrunner. >> pure excitement at seeing the presidential frontrunner. he has dedicated supporters old and young and he's enjoying a significant lead in the poll.

>> his policy on north korea, though, has been to sp split. he supporters dialogue, even organizing the last summit in 2007. a group deflected last week claimed 3,000 of them would leave south korean and seek asylum elsewhere. they traditionally vote conservative to hard line approach to the regime, they fled. but also some effect to support for moon. the feeling here is that he's the only one who can prevent a future war on the peninsula. parents, brothers and sisters, the second we carry a rifle to defeint, we'll be pointing a gun towards them. moon declined repeated request for television interview, but tried to find criticism he's too

soft on north korea. >> translator: i will not tolerate any military cooperation through solid lines with the u.s. i will stop the war from happening. moon lost in the last race to former president park. he has been impeached and imprisoned for extortion and bribery. she denies all charges against her. she's for being the opposite of her in policy and personality. >> she stood very clearly against them, so one big reason for his support is that he's not her. >> former businessman with negotiations with pyonyang. even acknowledging he went to the same business school.

the conservative candidate suffered a political body blow from impeachment. 13 candidates in all buying for the top job. the results expected over night tuesday. >> so unless the polls have been horribly wrong and that's helped elsewhere in the world. it does look like to be the next leader to try and deal with the north korean issue. >> keeping an eye on a number of developments there joining us from seoul. in south korea it's just after 3:20 in the afternoon. nigeria is welcoming dozens -- after being released through a negotiating exchange with the terrorist group. they've believed to be among the 276 girls kidnapped back in

2014. joins us now live with the latest on this. stephanie, bittersweet, so wonderful for the families of these girls, but difficult for the parents who would not able to welcome home their daughters, talk to us about how this release was negotiated and how likely or possible it is that the remaining goals will also be released at some future date. >> yes. rosemary, but there is a fitting of euphora that these 82 girls have been released. it is a day many thought would never come after three years after captivity. we do know that what exchange for the release of these girls and earlier i spoke to one of them and involved in talks in the negotiation talks and he explained these talks would

happen in three phases, we saw the first batch released in october, 21 girls, that was building trust between the surgeons and nooe nigerian government. we understand the talks will continue to free the remaining of the girls. >> how important has the social media been in this long fight to keep this story in the news? >> reporter: absolutely crucial, rosemary, because in the initial day, there was a lot of confusion around the girl. there wasn't much news. this hashtag kick started a worldwide movement. we saw michelle obama holding up the sign and many other local leaders that got involved, simply because this hashtag has

went viral around the world. but, of course, the headlines went ahead, but there was the protest movement here who formed the -- to really -- applied pressure to ensure that the -- that they were never forgotten. so really thanks to him keeping this issue alive for the past few years. >> stephanie, i did want to ask you about the nigerian president who has been ill for some time now. we know he's gone for medical treatment, what do you know about his conditions. >> frankly, rosemary, we don't know very much because his illness, it remains undisclosed. we don't know how serious the nature of the illness is. he did spend two months away in london and came back and two months later he departed last night to seek further medical treatment. there is a sense of frustration

here, though, and people would like to know exactly what's going on with his illness. >> it's totally understanding. joining us there where it's nearly 8:30 in the morning, many thanks to you. his campaign message calls probusiness and now that emanuel has won the french presidency. we'll take a look at what this means for the financial world with also the potential impact with the victory on the european union and can unit france after one of the divisive campaigns in the nation's history, we're back in a moment. finding time to get things done isn't easy.

82 of nigerian schoolgirls met with the president on sunday after being released through a

negotiated exchange with the terrorist group. they believe to be from the group of 276 girls kidnapped from their school back in 2014. more than a hundred girls still are told to be held. back now to the french presidential election and it was a decisive out come to win two remaining -- between two remaining candidates who ran on very different platforms. the winner favors globalization and the european union, the far right le pen campaigned on a promise to halt immigration and to take france out of the european union. and nina jioins us from london with more on the business implications. so nina, what's been the reaction on european markets on macon's big win is this. >> they had about 32 minutes to digest the news. you can see the mark, so some of

them slipped below the line and in fact what we see, down to the tune of a half percent. the reason for this is because remember that this is going to be tuesday's voting process and a lot of the games that we saw when they won the first round of the election have now priced in the fact that he was going to clinch the second round, which is what we saw happen over night. that's probably one of the reasons why the market is taking it from here and saying, well, let's see how things fair in the election as well with a piece of it going to be voted and coupled together to get through these plans that he wants. this brings me to the single currency euro. if we have a look at that, that was a reaction of the -- it was the most pronounced, still it's six-month high and after the exit poll showed that he won. as you can see it's out a little bit.

it's about .2 of 1 percent. it's when it was good for the cohesion of europe. the big question is can you -- the second biggest economy as ambitiously as he wants to. rosemary. >> everyone watching closely to see what happened there. many thanks. >> so how will it recalls victory effect the union. let's go back to michael lake for some answers on that very issue. >> win without a doubt is a huge relief. you'll be getting reaction from brussels in just a second. i like to bring you up to speed on something else that also matters, macron says he understands the anxiety and anger, he reached out to le pen supporters. >> >> translator: and i also

want to say word for those who voted today for le pen. no, don't boo. they expressed -- they expressed today anger, dismay and sometimes convictions. i respect them. but i will do everything during the five years to come to make sure that there is no reason at all to vote for extremes. >> marine le pen conceded the election not long after the polls closed. she said the vote is a mandate for her far right national to become a primary opposition force against the new president. let's talk about the state of the far right. he is a political scientist, arthur of the book, frankly, one of the most knowledgeable experts on this topic here in

france. the far right had exceptionally favorable circumstances going into this election, terrorism, wave of migration coming into the european union, extreme levels of defiance or main stream party, and yet le pen under performed the polls. >> they did not, the first reason -- campaigned did not make any specific proposal. it would show if she were elected, she would barely be the leader. she can be singing as the leader of the political party. she would be effective. and then there was this hopeful television debate between the two where she, in my opinion,

and did it help a lot. many voters who were contemplating voting her the second round, just say, no. she's so terrible. i said, please home with her a moment. >> so the problem to the far right the candidate they feel it, le pen, not a strong candidate. >> the problem is the candidate, this is a very centralized. this is not internal democracy like main stream liver party. now how he's done her is very nice. again, the far right of france, the glass can also be seen as half full. they've been doing better and better with each presidential election since the late '80s except for one election. as i've heard saying some last night, they didn't win this time and they improved and they would

improve again next time and might win in the next election. >> because should receive 11 million. it's almost like in north korea where the extreme right candidate, but with 46%, which is a huge. so if macron does not you can seed in chanting something. because i would regard to the economy. within the first of his cure, i will say he's out to get so bad, two topics might be candidate -- no, you're not my show, a lot. >> exactly. >> any other chance has a chance of winning. >> i will do everything in my power to make sure people no longer have a reason to vote for the extreme races the far right. what can he do. >> he can bring back jobs. he can bring back some pros in

the economy. he can bring back just fitting that the french would say, taken seriously. he said parties do not hold everything. what's interesting with macron is not -- it's the fact he's ever been a member of any political party. that's a huge blow to the main stream concerting party end to the main stream. what he can also do is not the only one to decide is whether this country will be free of any current and what kind of -- he would have when confronted with it and jihadist. >> explains to us where the far right stands with the glass half full and half empty depends on

what happens in the upcoming election, thank you very much. many european leaders were crossing their fingers that the far right would not come to power, she was radically antieu and all of this. the eu, i imagine, is going to have a new spring in its step. >> that's right there's a definite sense of relief here in brussels, to be building on a previous elections, the netherlands, as well as austria, which saw far right candidate make gain but not win out right. we're congratulations from eu heads of state as well as the leaders of eu institution, the president of the council tweeting out, "congratulations" to the french people for choosing liberty, equality and fraternity over the tyranny.

we've heard from president of the european commission saying that he's happy with the people of france and have chosen a european future. and emanuel really campaigned on the idea that french people feel profoundly european, the same time he's calling for reform here in the eu. i'm told that we can expect him to try to introduce an ambitious program in that regard. >> thank you very much. let's continue on these european questions, they are so key, not just to france but the entire of the world. he's the head office of european counsel on foreign relations. what do we know exactly about what wants to be done in europe. of course he's campaigned, but, again, we've never seen him involved with foreign affairs or european affairs in any way.

it's all hypothetical. >> foreign affairs is very hypothetical. he is one of the key advisers. and than when he was the economy minister. he was actually quite involved on the economic side of the european discussion and he had a very strong relation and he already, as a minister had a few ideas that he has kept pushing for when he was -- he wants, basically, to bring back french leadership within europe and that would help the german -- >> how would he do that, france has been doing this? >> absolutely, that has been a key most of them wanted to rebalance the relation and most of them saying we will enter into kind of a struggle of power relation and will be stronger because we'll make a coalition with southern europe countries.

although, say you can't go on with authority and you need to change that. well, it's a bit different. he said i reform france first. i do my homework, basically. once -- i'll be credible and i had the authority that my predecessors. and i'll be -- look what's about to fold as uk in terms of pushing -- if you don't want that, you need to make some compromises there. >> address the french economy in order to become credible to the eyes of germany. >> he wants to address because he thinks that's what makes french strong. it's not to the eye of germany, it's to the eye of the general and to the eye of french themselves. he wants to reform france or france to be working, and then naturally comes some kind of traction within europe, especially in the relation with

the germans. he already has, as i said, a working relations from when he was the minister. he's got to make credibility, which, of course -- >> so he's probably going to be sworn in on sunday, just under a week from now. what french presidents usually do on their very first day. >> he's done that already when he was come paining, i suspect he would do that now he's president, go there and try to talk and see what it is they can do. the thing is germany has its own election in september, there's probably a few things that they can do together as european council head of state, but the key thing will be once the germans elections have been settled and you know which is the new chancellor and new coalition, then you try to move f forward and bring the rest of europe with you. >> we'll see how that relationship develops with the

new leadership in france and possibly with germany down the line. thank you very much for joining us. let's take you back to rosemary church. >> there are great job reports. coming up, what might sally yates reveal about the conversations with the russian ambassador. the former top u.s. justice department official is set to testify before congress in the coming hours, details coming up next.

general salary yates is expected to testify on monday. sources tell cnn she's prepared to set the record straight about her role in events that led national security adviser michael flynn to leave his post. at the core of her testimony will be a meeting that she had 18 days before flynn was removed as national security adviser. in that meeting yates is prepared to testify she gave a warning about flynn's contact with russian ambassador. at that point flynn had denied talking to him on u.s. sanctions. it led to publicly defend flynn. after flynn left office, admitted that yates had warned them about the interaction, but they described the interaction as more of a heads up, bringing to their attention that he may not have been honest with the vice president. yates remembers the conversation deferently. and is expected to testify that she expressed serious concerns

and made it clear that flynn should be fired. the former acting attorney general was also forced out of her post by the trump administration after she refused to defend the white house controversial travel ban, her testimony while potentially explosive, because she probably will not be counts of specifics of certain events because of concerns over revealing classified information in an open setting. brian nobles, cnn, washington. >> former u.s. president has received the award. obama was honored for expanding health care to millions of americans and leading the fight against climate change. in his acceptance speech she called on u.s. lawmakers to have the courage to oppose the new health care bill. >> it does require to champion the vulnerable and the sick.
