this is the "cbs overnight news." hi, everyone. welcome to the "overnight news." i'm demarco morgan. french voters overwhelmingly chose 39-year-old ee manmmanuel macron. it was seen as a test of a global populism. president trump's election in the u.s. president trump congratulated macron on twitter saying he looks forward to working with him. mark phillips is in paris. >> reporter: well, an election that was full of anger and scandal and intrigue has in the end produced the expected result. emmanuel macron, a 39-year-old former investment banker and former cabinet minister who has never won for office before has been elected the next president

of france. he does not come from either of the main traditional parties. they rejected the socialists and the conservative republicans in the first round and they rejected the far right, marine le pen, in today's runoff. the vote was decisive, 65-35. it's unclear how much of the macron vote was for him or just against her. macron called for unity after the vote was announced and promised action on france's problems. the defeated candidate, the well-known marine le pen is a controversial figure from the far right of politics. she's antiimmigration from the national front, a party with a history of racism and anti-semitism. she didn't reach the 40% threshold she wanted but is now talking of rebranding her party and will continue to be a force. there was some last-minute drama in this election. a hack into the macron campaign dumped thousands of documents

onto the internet. the hack didn't seem to have any significant effect on the outcome. it's generally thought the hack was in the interest of the le pen campaign and as in the u.s., there's a suspected russian connection. le pens was the favorite candidate of vladimir putin and seems to have had the tacit support as well of donald trump who predicted that terrorist attacks in france would work in her favor. emmanuell macron has to turn his party. now france's problems, stagnant economy, high unemployment and of course its terrorism are his problems. demarco? >> mark phillips in paris. thanks. meanwhile, voters in south korea choose a new president on tuesday. one of the main issues is how to deal with their nuclear armed neighbors to the north. front-runner wants to improve relations with pyongyang.
