>> someone left their tags behind. >> a couple tags inside of there, yeah. >> i just want to be clear, that graffiti is not 1938 graffiti? >> no, that's not 1938. >> i didn't want people to think you were pulling okey doke on me. we haven't used this since three weeks ago. macron, the man that defied the odds to win the french presidency is about to be sworn in to office. we'll have live coverage from paris. >> also north korea in the news testing another ballistic missile. we have reaction from the korean peninsula and why russia says it is also concerned. >> and the global cyber hack that locked up tens of thousands of computers stopped spreading but that might only be temporary. a live report on that ahead. >> it's 4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell live in atlanta. >> and i'm live for you here in london where it's just 9:00 this

sunday morning. thanks for joining us. this is cnn newsroom. a warm welcome. a political transition is underway this hour in france. these are live pictures. dignitaries have gathered there in the french capitol for the inauguration of macron. he is set to arrive shortly at his new home where he will then take over from the current french president hollande. melissa is in the french capitol and joins us with the latest. we can expect all the pomp and ceremony that you might expect from the french when it comes to these inauguration events. talk us through the protocol. what can we expect? >> there's a great deal of protocol on these occasions. it's a hand over of a lot of power from one man to another and every time these things are

very carefully calibrated who has been invited today. how he will make his way up the red carpet. how he will enter and be received by hollande all of these things are perfectly calibrated, timed, organized, orchestrated. what is different is the leap until int the unknown france will be taking with him. this is a man that has defied the odds. put aside the mainstream political parties and shaken up frances political system and now needs to get members of parliaments in june's legislative elections. needs to appoint 15 ministers by wednesday from either the mainstream right or mainstream left but all of this is a complete mystery. you're seeing him arrive. he has just pulled up outside the palace there and he will be

seen out of the car and make his way up the carpet toward hollande waiting for him attend of the red carpet. once he has made his way inside they'll go into a private room where state secrets will be handed from the outgoing president to the incoming president along with things like the nuclear codes. the reason this is such an unusual image that you're seeing today is the man that was so spectacularly seen to triumph in the presidential election, the second round of voting last week was really a man that used to be economy minister. he served for two years before standing aside and launching his own political movement. he was seen as betraying hollande. this is one man that betrayed another now making his way up

the carpet to take over the presidency from him. these are extraordinary images but this time all the more important with the fate of france hanging in the balance. since macron vowed to shake things up. not only to reform france but profoundly to change the way that it is governed. >> extraordinary pictures. all the ceremony from outside the palace. we have seen the president elect being greeted by the current president and entering into the palace behind. you talked about his rise to asend to the presidency. he has to hit the ground running though doesn't he? up until now he hasn't even had a party and he has legislative elections taking place next month. >> you're absolutely right. he will have no time. alabama the more so because the expectations of the french people are so great. there's been a huge frustration in france for many years. not only the five years that hollande spent there and he

leaves today as the most unpopular president since the start of the fifth republic in 1958 but also where he was seen to have failed to reform the way that france needed to reform. there's been a sense that france has been stuck with flagging economy and political system dominated that have simply not done the business. that's what he won on. a pledge to change all of that. to change the faces of those ghoovrn france and change the way that france is governed in order that it can finally be reformed. he has huge expectations on his shoulder and he's going to have to hit the ground running and with ministers that he's going to have to choose very carefully either to keep the political parties happy or to stick to his pledge of renewing the faces that are in power and choosing people from civil society. >> expecting perhaps that he will name his prime minister as early as tomorrow. as you say getting down to the job very, very quickly indeed.

melissa bell is live for us in paris as we stay with the inauguration pictures. this is our main story today and we will, of course as soon as we see the president election and the former president, as soon as we see them again emerging from their talks then we will come back to this story. for now, thank you. >> now to north korea. that current launching another ballistic missile. this time it flew about 700 kilometers or 400 miles. the missile landed in the sea of japan also known as the east sea. the u.s. said it did not threaten the continental united states and it doesn't appear to be an intercontinental ballistic missile. this is the first launch since a new south korean president was sworn in just a few days ago. we have full coverage on this. starting with alexander field. it happened at a time of transition in that nation with a

new president in office. this is a person that favored more engagement with north korea now faced with this. >> certainly significant timing here, george. look, officials from all countries involved are still closely analyzing the trajectory of this missile trying towns what it's capability may have been. we know it landed in the waters off the coast of the peninsula but close tore russia than japan which has not been the pattern of some of the more recent missile launches but this is certainly the kind of security situation he's having to weigh in on and weigh in on quickly. he likely anticipated he would need to. this is at least the 10th ballistic missile launch north korea conducted just since the start of the year and it comes a few days into his tenure in that office. he was the democratic party candidate that campaigned on a platform of greater engagement with north korea in order to achieve the goal of they

nuclearization on the peninsula. he met with the national security council. that's routine. he has strongly of course condemned the launch as is the practice of officials in his position here in south korea and he has gone on to say the south needs to show the north that talks can only be achieved if north korea creates the right kind of conditions for that to happen. that's frankly quite similar to what a high level north korean diplomat said yesterday. that north korea could be willing to have some kind of talk ifs the conditions are right and that's also similar to what we heard from washington recently where they held the door open for the possibility of talks with north korea if certain steps could be met to show that north korea would be serious about denuclearization. in the wake of the latest launch you have officials in washington now again calling on all countries to strictly enforce sanctions against north korea. when they make that call they're looking at china.

china is key to president trump's strategy of isolating north korea in order to force cooperation. china is of course the largest trade partner with north korea. and it also comes at a time when xi is hosting a trade summit in beijing being attended by world leaders including the russian president vladimir putin. officials in china condemned the latest launch but they're calling for restraint from all parties. >> that's the reaction there. thank you so much. setting us up for matthew, bringing him in live now in moscow. you heard her pointing out the fact that the russian president is in china for this major gathering of leaders, trade and infrastructure initiative by china. if we could pull up the map to give our viewers a sense of where this fell, this is near russian soil. so matthew, what are you hear something what reaction are you

hearing from the kremlin? >> well, some reaction. it's a little difficult because vladimir putin is in beijing as we just heard. but his spokesman issued a statement saying the russian president is concerned about the recent missile launch and that's something they have been speaking with the chinese leadership about. there's also been a statement which has been carried by the russian state news agency from the head of the defense committee of the upper house of the russian parliament and he said that the air defense systems in the far eastern region of the russian federation which is near where this missile landed in the sea of japan. a distance off the russian coast. those air defenses have been placed on high alert. not because they feel there is any kind of intentional threat from north korea. remember that russia and north korea have a relatively strong political relationship. they're kind of friends. so the russians say that they

understand that russia is not the target of these missiles but they have the security of their citizens to think of and they put their antimissile defenses on high alert in that eastern part of russia as well. so yeah, there has been a significant reaction at this point from the russians. they have expressed in the past that they're concerned about north korea's development of long range missiles and nuclear capabilities and expressed that concern again. >> you mentioned that the two are friends. what is the sway that russia has over north korea? do they have any leverage here when it comes to missile launches like this? >> well, i don't want to exaggerate the extent to which they're friends or the extent to which they have influence over north korea. but there have been visits by the leaders of both countries in the past. state visits to each other which is rare from a north korean

point of view of course and there's a certain amount of economic that's been going through these. 50,000 permits for north korean workers to work inside russia. they often work on logging camps and construction sites and return to the north korean government and in the past the soviet union was the main backer of north korea before it's collapse in the early 1990s at which point china took over the leading role. there is a historical connection between the two countries and of course russia has a strong interest in plague an important role in resolving this diplomatic dispute because it puts vladimir putin at the center of international diplomacy once again and he absolutely relishes that. >> matthew chance live for us in moscow. thank you for the report. we'll stay in touch with you as well. >> we turn to iran now and officials there say isis now controls 10% of the city of mosul after months of fighting

there but the most difficult part of the battle still lies ahead. more from inside mosul. we need to warn you the images in his report maybe disturbing to some of our viewers but we feel it's important to show you the realities on the ground. >> reporter: from a roof top a shoulder fires toward isis positions. the struggle to liberate the city from isis is now well into it's 7th grueling month of street by street house by house fighting. the end is near but not near enough. iraqi shoulders drape two dead isis fighters over the hood of their humves like hunting trophies taking selfies to mark the occasion. this is what has become of them. the one they sworn was here to stay and destined to expand.

isis ran dozens of workshops in residential areas to manufacture these and other weapons. it's a complete factory making antitank and antipersonnel rockets this officer tells me. only 10% of mosul remains under isis control but taking the last 10% won't be easy. where the black smoke is rising is the 17th of july neighborhood. it's that neighborhood that isis entered first in june of 2014. they renamed the neighborhood to commemorate the early conquest of the islamic empire. commanders hearsay the battat b will be the hardest one. he has been speaking by phone with residents inside the neighborhood. tragic is how he describes their

plight. they have no food. no water. no medical care. they're just waiting for our forces to free them. some could wait no longer. risking death to escape. we left early this morning after taking cover for days in the bathroom. our men folk told us go, go. we said we can't because of the shelg but then we put our faith in god and we left. hiding with his family under a stairwell waiting for iraqi forces to move in. now he is leading them from one abandoned isis house to another. i gathered information for the past three years, he says. i watched them. i wrote down their names and kept an eye on what they are doing and now i'm sharing everything with the officers. senior commanders inspecting weapons seized from isis are confident victory will be achieve bfrd td before the end .

god willing says iraqi chief of staff, we will triumph before ramadan and declare the liberation of mosul and it's people from the filthy scum of isis. those filthy scum as he calls them, haven't given up yet however as this incoming sniper round inches from our camera shows. >> well he joins me now from northern iraq. the final push for mosul. perhaps the bloodiest part of the battle still to come. not just for the iraqi forces but civilians trapped there still. >> that's right, hannah. well we understand this morning iraqi forces including the counter terrorism service, the federal police and the 9th armored division of the iraqi army have entered four neighborhoods in western mosul including the 17th of july neighborhood we featured in this package so they do definitely

appear to be pushing ahead and perhaps they may indeed have this operation over by the beginning of ramadan which roughly coincides with the 27th of may but of course the real concern is its believed there are hundreds of thousands, perhaps as many as 400,000 civilians still inside. one officer told us they are eating grass, some of the people. they're so short of food. basic municipal services no longer exist in the isis controlled part of mosul. there is no electricity. there is no running water. there's nothing in the way of medical services so their situation is extremely dire and this is one of the principle concerns of humanitarian organizations that have scrambled to deal with a number of people that fled the city. when this operation began in the middle of february to liberate western mosul they expected

perhaps as many as 250,000 residents of the western part of the city fleeing. at this point the number is more than 425,000. and it's growing every day. the number of those that fled the city. >> a dire situation indeed. we appreciate your very brave reporting on the situation in mosul. thank you very much. now do stay with us here on cnn newsroom. after the break, president trump says the search for a new fbi director smoo director is moving quickly. he could make a final decision within days. >> and the fbi firing was on the president's mind when he addressed graduating students this weekend. what's he advising those students to do? that's next. he carpool? try zyrtec® it's starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®.

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.

the search is on for a new fbi chief to replace james comey that was fired last week by president donald trump. the replacement could be any of these 8 candidates all interviewed on saturday. more interviews are possible today. mr. trump speaking to reporters

on board air force one said the vetting process is going quickly. >> the process is going to go quickly because almost all of them are very well-known and, you know, they have been vetted over their lifetime essentially but very well-known, highly respected, really talented people and that's what we want for the fbi. so i'll see you over at the school. have a good time. >> but again the president fired the person that was overseeing the investigation into possible russian ties into the trump campaign and possibly into the trump administration. so to talk more about this bringing in now scott lucas professor of international politics in birmingham england. always a pleasure to have you with us. the search is on for a replacement of james comey. let's take a look at the possible replacement. so tar a list of 8 that we have and there could be more on the way. you see here, andrew mccabe is along the list. he is the acting director at

this point but of that list, scott, and i know that you're well versed in the people there. what do you think about the people that the president is looking into. >> it's a wide sweep of candidates. 8 interviewed on saturday. more to come including acting director mccabe and each offer different possibilities and different questions. mccabe as acting director is there and qualified and up to speed on the inquiries but that might disqualify him from the start for the job especially because he challenged trump by saying no mr. comey did retain the fbi's confidence or the confidence of the agents. if you take john cornan the problem here is he is so vocal a defender of trump that any perspective appointment raises questions as to whether the trump administration strieing to

shutdown the fbi investigation. there's a couple of judges that have solid records. michael garcia, henry hudson, a couple of former bush administration officials. francis townsend that headed up security. a focouple of former fbi agents. but the candidate to watch out for is mike rogers. republican that's head of the house intelligence committee and former fbi agent and on saturday was endorsed by the fbi agents association that represents many within the bureau so rogers i think if he passes the political test that he's not coming in simply to shutdown the trump-russia inquirely may be able to appeal across both aisle of the senate. >> the former director was ramping up the russia investigation per reporting when he was terminated by the president which was well within

the realm of ability of the president of the united states. let's talk about his first commencement address as president. listen to what he had to say at liberty university. we'll talk about it on the other side. >> in my short time in washington i have seen firsthand how the system is broken. a smoul group of failed voices that think they know everything and understand everyone want to tell everybody else how to live and what to do and how to think. but you aren't going to let other people tell you what you believe. especially when you know that you're right. >> all right there scott so you get a little insight here so he's giving advice to people that are graduating. heading into the business world. but at the same time giving some insight into his own presidency.

>> >> whenever trump speaks it's largely about trump. let's be clear. so that clip you just heard which is effectively don't anyone tell you you're not right and then earlier in the speech talking about a small failing group in washington that was trying to tear everything down, you know, trump's idea that on the one hand he is playing the victim that he is under assault from the fake media. he's under assault from political opponents but on the other hand saying i command this large majority of support in the fact that i am right. that i have this self-belief. clearly both can't be true. he can't be victimized by basically all of these powerful forces and at the same time only be face a small group but that's trump. this is a man that will never say he's wrong. never acounts for a mistake.

he's going to continue this type of defiance whether it's over the firing of james comey, whether it's the trump-russia inquiry or any of his economic policy proposals. >> thank you. this is cnn newsroom. still ahead a cyberattack locked down thousands of computers in dozens of countries around the world. we'll tell you how an expert finally stopped it. stay with us. t than your health. so if you're on medicare or will be soon, you may want more than parts a and b here's why. medicare only covers about 80% of your part b medical expenses. the rest is up to you. you might want to consider an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan, insured by unitedhealthcare insurance company. like any medicare supplement insurance plan, these help pick up some of what medicare doesn't pay. and, these plans let you choose any doctor

just gone 9:30 this sunday morning. the headlines for you the inauguration of macron is underway this hour in paris. the french president elect is currently at the palace. you're looking at live pictures of it now. he is inside there meeting with the outgoing president. he say former investment banker and economy minister. he defeated the far right candidate in a run off election held last week. >> the u.s. says a ballistic missile that north korea launched early sunday does not appear to be an intercontinental ballistic missile. it landed in the sea of japan that's also known as the east sea. the senior north korean diplomat says the north is open to dialogue with the u.s., quote, under the right conditions. >> president xi opened a two day summit aimed at expanding trade links between china and europe africa and asia. 29 heads of state and government leaders are at the belt and road

initiative. hopes to build a new so-called silk road of ports, railways and roads to vastly expand trade. >> euro vision crowns it's 2017 winner. portugal won the world's most popular singing contest with a song written by his sister. it's the first win for portugal in the competitions 61 year history. 200 million people around the world watched that event last year. >> millions watched it this year as well. an international cyberatack has been stopped thanks to a security expert here in the u.k. thousands of computers were getting error messages like this one. demanding a ransom to use the system again. they had to call a crisis meeting. several hospitals across the country forcing those hospitals to turn away patients. the british home secretary says this is no small software bug.

>> if you look at who has been impacted by this virus it's a huge variety across different industries and across different international governgovernments. this is a virus that attacked window platforms. the fact is they have fallen victim to this. i don't believe it's to do with their preparedness. there's always more we can all do to make sure that we're secure against viruss but i think that there had already been good preparations in place by the nhs to make sure that they were ready for this sort of attack. >> following this story for us in london and joins me now live from downing street in the heart of westminster. phil, the virus is stopped for now but the threat as we're hearing is far from over. >> potentially. that's right. that's what we're hearing from online security experts that say that further malware attacks could follow reasonably quickly and we're hearing the same warning from the online

administrator responsible for spreading this. this is a 22-year-old. don't know if it's a man or a woman. goes by malware tech online. was studying the malware and noticed it was reporting back frequently to a strange web domain and internet address that was unregistered. this person registered it and took control of it and in doing some triggered some sort of kill switch that stopped it from spreading further. so an accidental hero but this person is also saying it would be relatively simple to rewrite the code and effectively relaunch the malware and that that could happen within the next week or so. >> any idea who might be responsible for this, this global cyberattack? >> no, not specifically. this is something going to be investigated at an international level. almost 100 countries effected. tens and tense of thousands of computers around the world.

here in britain, the key question is how is this able to happen? how is it able to have such a big effect? particularly on the national health system where some 20% of hospitals and health facilities were impacted by the malware. the british government is saying as you heard there from the home secretary that they think they were caught up in this big global event. it wasn't a question of a lack of preparedness but we also know that the security patch for this particular vulnerability within the microsoft platform, that was released back in march so clearly not all within the nhs was up to date and what this means for patience, well, they're the ones that have been inconvenienced by this. the hospitals are getting back to normal now we're told. almost all of them but for patience it's a process of waiting to hear when their appointments and procedures can be rescheduled and it also means there will be a knock on effect so other patients could also be inconvenienced. their actual health care is being interrupted in this way.

now of course it's all particularly sensitive at the moment because we're in the middle of a general election campaign here so the british government is keen to push back and say no this wasn't a failure of our making but from the main operation parties here what we are hearing are questions about how this was able to happen and some of the demanding some sort of formal inquiry as well. >> phil, great to talk to you. thank you. now do stay with us coming up we will be taking you back to paris for plenty more on the presidential inauguration. these are live pictures right now. expecting to see macron and his predecessor emerge from that front porch in the next couple of minutes.

welcome back. we now return live to france. you can see the live images

there. we're waiting at the moment to see the president elect and the soon to be outgoing president hollande to stand there in front of the palace and it is beginning of a long day for them. it's the hand off of power that is a process there in france. melissa, what more can you tell us about where we are right now in this process? really on the brink of a new political era here in france. i don't think it's an exaggeration to put it that way. he has all of this promise and all of these expectations on his shoulders. 66% of the population chose to back this relative political novis. he knows the palace because he worked there as a counselor to hollande before being appointed economy minister but today he returned in triumph walking up that red carpet through the main door to be greeted by the out

going president. the man he was seen to have betrayed a few months ago and announced he would be standing without the backing of the socialist party for the presidency. that political gamble paid off spectacularly last sunday. the two men were inside the palace. for one of those meetings that take place every time there is a transfer of power and it's been this way since the start of the fifth republic in 1958. they meet along in a room and the outgoing president hands to the incoming president state secrets a nuclear codes. you'd love to be a fly on the wall for this particular meeting. so momentous. hollande is about to walk out of that meeting to leave the palace as the most unpopular president since the start of the fifth republican. also a man who is handing over not so much to a political opponent but definitely to a political novist and man that represents neither of the mainstream parties.

hence this very interesting relationship between the man he seemed to have betrayed and the sense that he comes in with this on his shoulders. he's promised to shake up the political land shape by putting in place not so much people that we have come to know as the political elites that dominate france's landscape but political novis. he wants people that have real jobs and not career politicians so a real democratic revolution that we're witnessing here. >> as we await these two men emerging as you were just saying i'm intrigued about the vehicle that will be taking hollande awaichlt it seems very understated car perhaps in line with the way he is going out of

his presidential role with the lowest approval rating in history. >> i think that's right. also with the sense he has been talking about having to face what he has described himself as the emptiness that will follow having been in the palace so there is a sense that it's extremely carefully core graphed. it's full of very carefully thought through protocol and there's also the emotion of this day but really leaving behind the changed plitd cal landscape. his party is in ruins over the course of the last couple of months. so perhaps even greater sadness.

when he emerges he will be seen off by the incoming president and taken to the end of the red carpet and allowed to get into that car in order to lead. macron himself will have a busy day. he will come back into the palace having said good-bye to hollande in order to have the legion of honor bestowed on him and the official results of the election read out and in order to be officially france's new president. >> stand by 10:45 in paris and 4:45 on the east coast of the united states. we're waiting to see the president elect soon to step there in front of the palace with the outgoing president. melissa bell is live following this and this was a political

gamble that paid off but now this is an incoming president that really does he know who his allies are when it comes to trying to get things done because this is a person that represents a rebuke of the formal parties that are there in place in france he's coming in in new territory here. >> that's right. what had been a personal gamble now becomes a national gamble as he. >> it was seen very much as a betrayal but people expected that he wouldn't win. at the time its difficult to republican it now but the republican candidate was very much the favorite to win. of course no one could have

expected that he would be seen off as a result of the judicial troubles that he came to face. no one could imagine that the socialist party would veer so far to the left in it's primary with the choice of the candidate. they have traditionally not managed to make it to a form of power. no that gamble becomes one for the nation since everything hangs now on his ability to appoint 15 minute sters over the next couple of days including crucially a prime minister that can go on to carry out his program of reform for the time being he doesn't have a single one to his name. he wants a majority to be able

to govern and reform france as he promised he will do. >> my colleague along with me in london. history at 10:47 a.m. there. the president elect that will soon be the president of france. stay with us. we'll be right back after the break. try zyrtec® it's starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®. 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.

for something that finally relieves your pain,

icyhot lidocaine. desensitizes aggravated nerves with the max strength lidocaine available. icyhot lidocaine. welcome back. we'll take you straight back to france. these are live pictures inside the building. the president elect of france and the current president, soon to be former president, hollande. they have been in that building for more than 40 minutes now or so and melissa bell is standing by as well watching over the whole inauguration proceedings for us from the french capitol. 40 minutes or so. it's slightly longer this meeting between these two. they were friends and foes and have a lot to discuss i guess. not just handing over the keys to the pals will but also crucially the country's nuclear codes. >> that's right, hannah.

these are two men that have a long and complicated history. it's important to remember that macron did serve as the first of all political adviser and then economy minister before announcing he was standing down last august and then confirming his candidate for the race a few months later. that was seen as an act of betrayal for the man who after all had given him the job of economy minister. he explained it was because he had touched the limits of the system with his own finger. that was his expression in august when he announced his resignation that he decided he wanted to launch this most improbable political adventure. one it's important to remember in a no one would imagine would lead him to where he is today and where he is today is in that meeting which has now run for longer than had been expected and longer than had been planned in this choreographed and orchestrated day. they have a lot to discuss. not only the handing over of

state secrets and one would love to be a fly on the wall. but what you have seen is the outgoing president trying to gain some credibility from the man that's come in so spectacularly and so unexpectedly to take his place. being by his side by over the course of the last week or so to tell him he he's trying to show him which road to take. now trying to bask in the glory of the man at a in effect managed to pull off that unexpected successful political gamble. we see the two men emerge from the meeting and no doubt what they have to say will remain a carefully regarded secret. we'll watch hollande head off down the red carpet. accompanied by macron. in 201 he was seen to have committed something by not accompanying him all the way to the red carpet and back into his car. he then apologized and this is

no doubt a mistake that he will be keen to avoid but in a sense his long day begins only then. once he is seen off hollande. it is as i say full of protocol. carefully orchestrated. carefully organized as this political novice becomes the new president of france. >> joining in the conversation looking at the live image there. so many people have come together to see this incoming president soon to take the helm there in france and just to talk about the big picture here melissa because this was an election that the world was watching very closely. macron defeating le pen. he had a very different vision for france to close it's borders and possibly take it out of the eu. macron is now at the helm. looking at this live image we're soon to see him i merge along side the president of france. but the question for you melissa at this hour watching this

process, the world watching it as well, what is it like across france? what is it like for people to see this play out? >> i think there are an awful lot of expectations. hopes are extremely high for what he might achieve given the fact that he has made it this far. given the fact that he has come in with the promise to get rid of the political elites he believed prevented france from reforming and getting it's economy back on track and also taking part of the necessary reforms of the european union. all of france having given him the benefit of the doubt and it's a hard thing for the french to do. many people are extremely attached for the political parties they voted for year in and year out. they have chosen to give him the benefit of the doubt and they are expect to see results quickly. this is the incoming president with the greatest amount of hope and expectation on his shoulder and that's no easy thing to carry. >> melissa bell live in paris. our camera trained there waiting

for the incoming president elect to stand beside the outgoing president soon to happen. you're watching cnn. i'm george howell in atlanta. >> and plenty more from paris after this short break. do stay with us. with type 2 diabetes a lower a1c is a lot about choices. but it can be hard sometimes, 'cause different sides of you struggle with which ones to make. well, what if you kept making good ones? then? you could love your numbers. discover once-daily invokana®, a pill used along with diet and exercise to significantly lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. it's proven to lower a1c better than januvia®. invokana® works around the clock by sending some sugar out of your body through the process of urination. it's not for lowering systolic blood pressure or weight loss, but it may help with both. invokana® may cause dehydration,
