hello, welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. in paris. where a high profile victory here in france has been welcomed by american and european allies amid russia's war in ukraine. macron pulls off a dramatic reelection. and the u.s. secretary of state and defense complete a visit to president zelenskyy in kyiv. now, despite macron's deiscisiv
10:01 pm
win. strongsest showing from far right le pen and acknowledging his second term cannot just be a repetition of his first. macron is the first french president in 20 years to win reelection and admits many people didn't vote for him. but rather against his opponent. he promises to address the country's economic issues and also the anger and disagreements the drove voters to the far right. mr. macron ended up with 59% of the vote. compared to le pen 41%. and although that may seem like a wide margin, which it is, it's the closest a far right candidate has ever come to winning the french presidency. and as his victor rally, he appealed for unity and voiwed t try to heal the nation. >> we have so much to do. and the war in ukraine is a reminder we are going through tragic times when france must
10:02 pm
speak out, show the clarity of choices and build and strengthen all areas and we will do so. we will also need my friends to be kind and respectful. our country is full of so many doubts. so many divisions. so we will need to be strong. but no one will be left behind. >> now, le pen admitted that macron won. there was no generous or gracious concession speech. but indeed she said that she would continue to fight and do everything she can to portray sunday's vote as a victory for her party. >> some protesters and angry about the results turned out in paris and. shooting fire woks at police who responded with tear gas. le pen had tried to rally her supporters to deliver the far right victory. in the parliamentary election. which come up in june. and she is vowing to fight on.
10:03 pm
>> the five years which are beginning this evening will do nothing to dispel the contempt he is held in. i will pursue my commitment to france and the french with the determination and the will that you know that i have. >> now, more on the election in a moment. but as we said, our other top story is the visit of the u.s. secretary of state and defense secretary lloyd austin to kyiv yesterday. they met with president zelenskyy and they are the highest level u.s. officials to visit ukraine since the russian invasion began. and for more on that, let's bring in lisa in lviv now. >> good morning to you. that's right. it's probably the worst kept secret that visit from u.s. secretary state and u.s. defense secretary. given the fact the president
10:04 pm
zelenskyy announced that visit on address press conference on saturday. we have heard from the u.s. looking at some of the images there coming in. and the u.s. confirmed they have met and they met for roughly 90 minutes or so. met president zelenskyy as well as the defense minister of ukraine. interior minister and the foreign minister. and 90 minute meeting and let me talk you through what came of the meeting. in term of deliverables. u.s. diplomat will start returning to ukraine this week. making day trips in and out of ukraine to the city where i am in lviv. this obviously follows other countries -- embassies that have been opened here in the past few weeks or so. we have also heard from president biden intends to
10:05 pm
nominate ambassador to ukraine. the current ambassador so slovakia. they have been without on ambassador since 2019. important move indeed. on the military front given president zelenskyy said in the press conference i hope my visitors don't come empty handed. that was the quote. this is what we know, president biden intends to provide $730 million in additional foreign mill stair financing. that is not just for ukraine that's for ukraine and 15 other ally partners. other nations in europe and ball kins. about $322 million will go directly to ukraine. that's to help ukraine kind of shift a ma mover and transition from its old soviet era weapons to advance weapons in line with
10:06 pm
nato. important details coming in from that meeting. we also heard from the defense secretary lloyd austin who said some of the promised in the $800 until package from the u.s. to ukraine just last week, they started o arrive. and of course this is effective at this stage of the offensive. because terrain in donbas is different. and need longer range weapons. still the meeting is the highest meeting by u.s. officials, highest visit in ukraine since the day the war the began. 60 or so days ago. and it's the testament and being hailed as a testament of u.s. support and commitment to ukraine. but they have faced questions. administration officials tell us they have faced questions to why president biden has yet --
10:07 pm
>> thank you. of course everybody knows and already had to put out a statement when the u.s. president travels it's a completely different picture of security and preparation. than even from any other leader. so i guess that's the answer about that. those weapons will be welcome of course. the new heavy weapons that ukrainians do need for the new phase of the war. we'll be back with you for more later. let us continue with our election coverage. despite the high stakes here and with the response to the war in ukraine, many french voters did actually choose to stay at home. the abstention rate was high. the interyear ministry says the rate for the run off was 28%. which is the highest percentage of non-participation in a french presidential run off since 2002. congratulations on macrons victory rolled in from around
10:08 pm
the world. european and nato allies breathing an audible sigh of relief. writing on twitter in this world we need a solid europe and a france totally committed to a more sovereign and more strategic european union. the german chancellor tweeted that french voters had quote sent a strong commitment to europe and happy to continue good cooperation. sholz and macron spoke by phone on sunday. the u.s. president called france america's oldest ally. and key partner on twitter on sunday. he said he looks forward to working together to support ukraine. to defend democracy and to counter climate change. joining me now with much more on this is roger cohen. the "new york times" paris bureau chief. correspondent here and also of course covering the upheaval in
10:09 pm
europe really since the war. can we take that aspect of macron's win first. the international aspect. what would it have meant had le pen won? >> i think at this moment with the war in europe, to have a french president like le pen who is antinato, antieu. who would have provided a breech for vladimir putin to work with and create trouble in europe. she's a long time friend, sympathizer with vladimir putin. visited the kremlin in 2017. during the last campaign. and has been persistently pro-russian and talked always of washington and moscow. >> of course everybody does know also that she's taken loans and macron did bring that up in the debate. and considered to have landed a blow when he said when you look
10:10 pm
at putin and you're talking to your banker. >> right. he said russia is your banker. because of the loan she took out in 2014. and never actually paid back in full to date. she says she was free anyway and independent. and the she owed russian money made no difference. a lot of people are not convinced by that. >> the president of the united states is obviously congratulated macron. he's a well known quantity. he supports obviously democracy. and i say that because biden did refer to that. something to the effect i'm glad my ally won to continue the fight for democracy. against the autocracy we see rising. >> yeah. he's remarkable politician. he's essentially e leliminated
10:11 pm
parties. they have differences over the submarine in september. biden feels comfortable working with him on big issues and again with the war in europe it was absolutely critical that france major power in europe not tilt over in to extreme right wing authoritarianism. >> a little bit like the ill liberal democracy onts eastern flank. >> in hungary and other places and of course joe biden made a central plank of his presidency. the defense of democracy against those kinds of tendencies. that's the essential thing for the biden administration. >> let's talk about inside. why -- we have to acknowledge and certainly the president is acknowledging that there was a lower turn out than ever. that is the closest a far right candidate has ever come to the presidency. despite a comfortable spread between the votes. but it is the closest and there are a lot of angry people and we have this map. i don't know whether anybody can actually see it and take notice of this. i'm showing to roger.
10:12 pm
all these dark bits especially in the northern france are where she did incredibly well. so what does that say now for the future? for macron's project as a second term president. >> it was a remarkable speech from macron. he was victorious but he was very sober. a very different macron from the young man who burst on the scene age 39 to become president five years ago. he recognized that there's a lot of anger in the country. and he recognizes that he's appeared aloof and arrogant at times and didn't pay enough attention to those many people struggling to get to the end of the month with rising prices. he presented himself this time around as a healer. somebody who should be sober at a moment when there's war in europe. and the tone was very different. we'll see what happens going forward. there are huge problems in this country with a division you see in the united states.
10:13 pm
that you see in other western democracies. between the elites who are in the big cities and connected and who are doing quite well from this modern economy. and areas of the country that are feel cut off. feel forgotten. feel angry. feel uncertain about their futures. and inclined towards these right wing movements. >> so she is not indicated at all she's lost three times now in her attempts to be president. she hasn't indicated she would step down. the opposite. she's going to come back punching harder and rally a right wing victory for the parliamentary elections in june which will be critical to how he can govern. do you think she has chance of that? >> i think after a third failed attempt it might be time for le pen to reconsider things. it was a very determined feisty speech last night. no, i don't think that the national rally formally the national front can get anything
10:14 pm
even close to a majority in the parliament. it can get more seats than it has now. it's unlikely to be a national assembly that is as dominated by macron's party as now. it will be more difficult for him to govern. it's going to be more difficult because tlgs there's a lot of anger and the people who dislike him tend to dislike him very vehemently. so he's got a lot of difficult obstacles to over come. never theless it was an extraordinary victory. no french pet has been reelected since 2002. the french generally don't like their presidents. in the end although it seems the margin might be four or five points or even a surprise. that it was 17 points. >> we have to acknowledge that. the center left newspaper said he owes his success to the group
10:15 pm
of french people who did a huge leap of faith for democracy and for france and who mobilized to counter the extreme right. so that is something pretty important. >> macron said an extraordinary thing. he said i know a lot of poem who voted for me don't like my ideas. don't share my ideas. they voted for me only out of the patriotism to save the republic from tilting to the far right. we know the history 1940 to 1944. with an extreme right. antisemitic government. france has the specter is doesn't want to go back to. >> extraordinary victory for those reasons. thank you so much. for weeks ukraine of course has been front and center for european leaders like mock ron. and ukraine president said dpl dplags congratulations as well for the reelection victory.
10:16 pm
now, volodymyr zelenskyy tweeted that he appreciated french support for his country. adding that he spoke convinced we are moving forward together. towards new common victories. much more on france later in the show. but coming up next, issa will talk to the head of doctors without borders. about what they're seeing on the front line in ukraine. and the desperate need to get civilians out.
10:19 pm

10:20 pm
coming to you live from lviv, ukraine. we are following breaking news for you this hour. u.s. secretary of state and defense secretary met with ukrainian president zelenskyy on sunday. the highest level u.s. officials to visit ukraine since the russian invasion began since 60 days or so ago. they also met with ukraine foreign, defense and interior ministers for roughly 90 minutes. we'll have much more at the top of the hour. in the meantime, we are also monitoring breaking news out of russia. state media reports a fire has broken out at an oil depot in
10:21 pm
the region. which shares a border with ukraine. it's not clear at this stage what caused the fire. meanwhile, russia is pressing on with its war on ukraine further into a new phase. the ukrainian military warning that russian forces may try to launch a new offensive from the region in the coming days. military official says russian troops are forming an offensive strike formation in the region as moscow refocuses efforts to try and take eastern as well as southern ukraine. despite it being no humanitarian corridors were open on sunday. according to officials, russia wouldn't guarantee a cease fire. the deputy prime minister says she hopes the un can broker a humanitarian evacuation. when the secretary general visits moscow this week. so far, more than 5.1 million people have fled the fighting in
10:22 pm
ukraine to other countries. more than 7.7 million ukrainians are internally displaced. just a staggering number. director general of here and joining me now live. thanks for taking the time to speak to us. let's start where you are. give us a sense of what you have been seeing on the ground. >> here things are quite calm. our teams are on the front lines to the east. we are seeing increase in trama cases. and working to increase an ambulance service there to be able to bring trama cases back from front loin hospitals. to areas more secure. from the south we are continuing to receive displaced people in cities. where our teams are working in those shelters, bringing mental health support. ukrainians are doing a good job between volunteer ands local
10:23 pm
medics. we're bringing the extra things that are falling through the gaps and we know many of the people have lived through weeks and weeks of intense shelling. there's stories of heartbreak and loss in almost every family that makes it. so the mental scars of war are just as important as the physical ones. >> absolutely. it's not like we have pointed out just before we came to you, it's not just those who have left. but the displaced. 7.7 million. in the last few minutes or so, the top of the hour, we heard reports i reported on the fact that u.s. defense official and the highest defense diplomat from the u.s. provided more support pledging more support military aid. but medical aid to ukraine. what kind of supplies would you want to see in that package from an aid standpoint? >> i wouldn't be able to comment on what's in the u.s. package.
10:24 pm
i know the types of humanitarian and medical assistance we're providing. on the front line of course it's trama kits and medical and surgical apparatus. we're very concerned with the elderly and vulnerable populations left behind in many of the towns. people that are on poor diets and living under shelling and in these under ground basements. they're existing conditions like diabetes and difficult to find medicine. hyper tension due to the war and diet. we're seeing a lot of diseases and it's very important that we bring medicine for every day occurrences. in the front line areas the pharmacies are closed. and the healthcare system that was in place is really very ten use. it's important that we administer to the population and all the types of needs they have. not only the war related trama. >> actually on that point, we
10:25 pm
have seen from our teams in the ground that the large majority of those staying behind in some of the towns are the elderly. has you been able to get supplies to those the most in the front lines, those who decided they can't leave or won't leave. give us a sense of what you are hearing. your team on the ground. >> in many cases we're able to get supplies sometimes directly. sometimes through volunteer net works. we also see the displaced that are a i rarriving here. many shelters opened up and bedridden elderly patients looking for things like adult diapers. and so it's very difficult to get to everywhere and everyone. and there are many gaps in places where healthcare is in extremely short supply. there are areas also where our teams have been visiting from other areas which are urnds such intense shelling. that it's not possible for us to
10:26 pm
go. we have to ensure that our teams are safe as well. and so there are gaps and areas where the needs are not being met and we certainly would hope to be able to access all of those areas. it's very important all parties to the conflict spare civilians and medical infrastructure. we see some times in the conflict that's not always the case. >> what you have just really highlighted there is the need, the desperate need for humanitarian corridors. so people can make their way to safety. steven, thank you very much for speaking to us and for the incredible work on the ground. i'll be back at the top of the hour with more from ukraine. coming up, live for you from paris the campaign of course in france is over. the votes have been counted. so what's next for le pen and her far right party? we'll bring you that story just ahead. you are watching cnn.

10:30 pm
that's a savings of over $500 a year. switch today. welcome back to our viewers all around the world and united states. i'm live in paris. the french president macron celebrating a comfortable reelection victory. sec securing 59% of the vote. the first french president in 20 years to win reelection. his victory has supporters of a strong united europe breathing a sigh of relief.
10:31 pm
now he must govern with the knowledge that 41% of french voters supported his far right opponent. le pen. both candidates touched on that reality in remarks on sunday. after the vote. >> i know that for a number of my compatriots who chose the far right today, the anger and the discord which brought them to vote for her project also merits a response. it will also be my responsibility and responsibility of those who surround me. >> this result constitutes for our french leaders as well as for european leaders the sign of a great defiance from the french people towards them. which they can't ignore. and that of a widely shared aspiration for a big change. the french have shown tonight their wish for a counter power that is strong against that of macron.
10:32 pm
>> so joining me now here in paris, cnn european affairs kmem ta tor. teacher of european affairs at ucla. welcome. so the two comments that we just played probably lay the table for the future. macron acknowledging that yes, a lot of people essentially held their nose to vote for him. and she not really conceding and saying actually a large group of french voters have shown their disaffection with europe and european project. that was part of what she said last night. >> she's defending the third loss and for the french voters it's the third time in the last five elections that a le pen family member has been on the ticket and they have been asked essentially to vote against her. rather than for something. i think that as with the 2017 election the second round debate
10:33 pm
revealed her credentials and drove macron's message home. this time around it was the conflict in ukraine. and yet again her foreign policy connections and fact is she's on the wrong side of history. to be nato phobic. at this moment in european history, it was simply disqualifying and helped macron. >> not only that, somewhat antiu.s. as well. she doesn't like what putin calls the polar u.s. led world. president biden delivered a full throated endorsement and congratulations to macron. because for biden as well as the leaders ship of the war in ukraine against the russian invasion, it's his democracy project. here, would you say democracy kind of dodged a bullet last night? >> it did. you see the fact that in a m normal election, back 50 years to be win by 15 points would be
10:34 pm
a landslide. 2002, 17, 22. you have the land slip victories. there's a rejection of that. at this moment in european history, where you see countries struggling alone for democratic rights and principles and biden this is crucial. the nato alliance, the european union is far right. the brexit debate or trump debate. has been a distraction. to get away with this at this particular moment was there and he was saved by foreign policy once again. >> let me drill down on what you said, i think it's interesting that as you say, generally the elections are fought with much slimmer margins. this like the other national front candidates was a landslide. and yet, i have never heard people who support democracy more worried this time. they thought she could squeak through. >> the two things about le pen and the pfar right.
10:35 pm
they run on the downward pressure on voting. on getting people upset and angry and they play on emotions around the three eyes. the immigration, identity and islam. islam is racialized for her. that's how far she takes it. he has this idea going back to colonial era that france yused o be great and it's eroded. what was so incredible was in the first round, overwhelmingly in the over seas territories, they voted for and yesterday they voted for her. that's not because they like the three eyes. it's because it's a vote to punish macron and the vote for those who feel under represented by mainstream politics, in other words macron the yellow jackets and the covid debacle. revealed the sort of the the ways in which the whole section of society, healthcare workers
10:36 pm
and essential workers were ignored by him. that is the up road struggle to deal with the emotional aspect of the le pen agenda. >> i want to push back a little bit. in his campaign and supporters they pointed to his very proficient handling of covid. as one of the big pluses in his column. remember, france was one of the most vaccine skeptic countries in the whole region. and his gamble on insisting that people get vaccinated or face punitive measures, barring them from access to things. bars and clubs. social events. that led to a 78% vaccination rate here higher than germany. higher than the u.s. and actually, his unemployment rate is much lower than historically and supporters point to economic indicators and social reforms that were very brave. he took gambles and played out. and yet -- >> it's ironic.
10:37 pm
a lot of opposition they saw or see in him this candidate, neither left nor right and the joke is if you are not left or right. you're right. the authoritarian aspect and the law and order aspect and rules and regulations. people were upset about. you have an electorate that is off compass. mainstream political parties disappeared. a proliferation of smaller parties in a winner take all system. and the big story of the election is really the failure of opposition parties to be able to create the kind of coalitions that could have driven them into the second round. which is a real distinction from the german system which relies on coalition building. ironically the french system moved in that direction and macron starting today needs to find a way to build coalitions or the legislatives are going to make it impossible to run that branch of government. >> that's really interesting. the famous newspaper slightly center left, very long standing.
10:38 pm
their headline is -- this is really interesting the way they have done it. essentially they're saying thank you to who? and they're saying thank you to the voters of france who did a huge leap fordemocracy. and to band together in a kind of coalition to prevent the far right taking these elections. so is that coalition de facto exists. whether it's holding its nose or not, does that make macron's job easier or more difficult to build going forward? >> i think building forward is an uphill struggle. the legislature are overwhelmingly the one seat and two rounds. back to 2017, le pen is second. they get eight and 17 seats out of 577.
10:39 pm
even parties like socialists. >> center left and right. >> they have entrenched seats all over the country. it's very difficult for extreme candidates to make it through to the sort of the next round. what's going to be interesting is between now and the legislatives and he needs to pick a prime minister. either keeps the one he has or take one from where? left, right, center. that will send a strong message. he reached out to environmentalists and creating a joe biden czar to deal with environmental issues. that's going to be very important going into this. >> especially young voters who did actually vote. >> legislators are key to him. without that it's five years of a movement that he represents which he'll have to step away from in five years time and hope it doesn't happen to him what happened to the socialists. he has a responsibility to rebuild france and make sure his movement runs again in a political system that is increasingly moving to a three
10:40 pm
division sort of far left, far right and the center and the question is who are the king make rs going to be moving forward? >> that's the inside nitty-gritty on the bigger picture. yes or no, the great democracy project, democracy vs. autocracy. did that get a victory last night? is it stronger -- >> le pen no matter what she disguises herself as. her allies are extreme right. doesn't need that distraction as this moment in history. it's clear that small european countries that are not members of nato and the european union do not fair well. and that's the path forward and hopefully by not having her there that distraction goes away and we can focus on the big picture here. the democratic principles that were defend fd last night. >> let's add the democratic
10:41 pm
principles are defended by the ukrainians not too far from where we are now. in this war of aggression. thank you so much. now, what we come back, in other news, we're going to -- we'll be back with other news.

welcome back. i'm michael holmes in china. mass covid testing starts today in beijing district. potentially affecting more than 3 million people. the announcement came on sunday after a eleven cases were detected within 24 hours. the rush to contain the out break comes with growing fears more stringent measures could be in store as the country doubles down on its zero covid policy. cnn joining me now from china. let's talk about the lock down.
10:45 pm
particularly in shanghai it continues and gets more severe. how are people coping? >> michael, people are still angry, they are desperate. many are still struggling to get access to enough food and medical care. most of shanghai 25 million people have been locked in their homes for weeks and still there's no end in sight. and covid-19 cases in the city still continue to grow. reporting more than 19,000 on sunday. bringing the total to half a million total covid-19 cases. you can see on video the shanghai is even starting to put up steel fences and barricades on public roads and around residential compounds. this is to block people from traveling to other districts and to border off, close off residential areas where positive covid-19 cases have been found. all of that only adding to the out rage in shanghai. but despite that huge frustration, officials are still doubling down on the zero covid-19 policy.
10:46 pm
what does that mean? every single positive case regardless, no exceptions here, has to go to the government quarantine facility. we obtained video of a facility for elderly covid-19 patients and you can see in this video that there are these wooden steel beds and thin sheets as bedding leaving these early patients unattended. patients in shanghai right now is -- patience is running thin. >> there have been out breaks in other parts of the country as well. what's the broader situation look like? >> omicron is not like the other varnt variant ands has led to several out breaks across china. a dozen cities are urnds some sort of lock down. even in the capitol, beijing, which china tried to guard like a fortress. they are dealing with a covid-19 out break that officials have called grim and urgent. more than 60 cases have been reported since friday and
10:47 pm
officials say that out break has likely been circulating for a week. they are mass testing one of the city's largest districts. and some residential areas. the people there have been told they cannot leave their homes. we are seeing beijing residents starting to stockpile food, more crowds at grocery stores. more empty shelves. we have yet to see the kind of panic and chaos that we have seen in shanghai. prior to their lock down. all of this in year three of the pandemic to continue this zero covid policy is loading more to questions that even though china managed to keep the reported death count low, the question is, is the strategy worth the trade off? >> all right. appreciate the reporting there. thanks. all right. let's take a look at some of the other stories around the world. u.s. president biden will visit israel in the coming months according to to the office of the israel prime minister. after the two leaders spoke on
