that is emmanuel macron, francois fillon, marine le pen, of course, and then the two left—wingers, benoitebate. but then we have the six others, who were in the first debate, but who are frankly fringe candidates who have no chance at all. two trotskyites, a sort of neo—gaullist, and a super—gaullist, who is even more gaullist than he is. a rural affairs candidate, and then a completely fringe candidate to back things like colonising mars and is sort of fiercely against international finance. so none of these candidates has any real chance, but such are the rules of the game, they have to be given their moment to speak. so this time was strictly divided between them, and that did, kind of, kill a of momentum. it meant that when ever you got to a point that was interesting, moderators had to stop and say that we had to hearfrom x or y, so they could say their bit as well. to be fair, they did have them bits to say as well, but it did make the debate very bitty, and there were no — there have been no standout moments of huge importance, i think, that will influence the way people decide. an

the new closer joaquin benoit got ryan zimmerman to pop out to end the game.llies win four to two and here's joaquin on how to deal with being the closer. >> well, i believe it's a little bit more tension but for me i treat it the same way as the eighth inning, not trying to do too much, you know, try to minimize the damage. >> for the second time in the last four years, the sixers could have the nba rookie of the year. joel embiid and dario saric are the favorites to take home the award. the sixers waited two years for dario to come over from turkey and he was worth the wait. after the sixers traded ill san ilyasova to the hawks dario averaged 17 points and seven boards in the final 25 games of the season. sixers gm brian colangelo says they want another power forward who can shoot the three. >> we're going to keep looking for shooters and guys that hopefully can do other things, defend, run, you know, stretch the floor, open things up, i think the stretch four position is something, you know, backing up dario or starting in front of the dario, which ever it

i mean, i was, you know, i said a few months ago i think benoit hamon will go with 10% and people were6%. i mean, it'sjust a crushing defeat. the whole french political landscape is being redesigned. this is the ruling party, the party of the current president. how can possibly go so wrong so quickly?“ you look at macron, he is a former socialist, if you look at them —— hamon, he is also a former socialist oi’ hamon, he is also a former socialist or the implosion started a few years back and it is a result and we can say the same of the french right, you know, the french right is in disarray. of course they have a better score, i9%, but fillon i think is going to end the political wild are less —— into the political wilderness and for them it is a question of complete renewal of the political class. and the choice is now that the french has been left with, how different are they the front? well, it started -- it starkly opposed. a young candidate was not very much experience with a party, not even a party, a movement he created 12 months ago. and he's going to face likely to be the nex

their campaign but the centrists, macron, who is ahead in the polls, and the socialist candidate, benoit that the attack shouldn't be a matter of cancelling the rest of the campaign. but remember that a campaign. but remember that a campaign is supposed to finish, to end, on friday midnight, and that there will be no more politics, if you will, in france on tv, on radio, on all the media on saturday before the vote. all right, well, tomas, thank you very much. we've just been hearing about the fact that, yes, this has taken placejust hearing about the fact that, yes, this has taken place just days before that first round of the presidential election that is taking place in paris, and we saw that the — not the debate, not a tv debate, more a tv programme, where the election candidates were taking interviews, they were interrupted, that whole programme was interrupted while more details emerged about what took place on the champs elysee. well, for more details... earlier i spoke to maz redpath who is from london but was close to the place de la concord when events unfolded. ididn't hear i

happened in paris, the socialist candidate says, my thoughts are with the family of the policeman, benoitty forces again targeted. back to christian fraser. some newswires say there have been further gunshots. what more can you tell us? more shots have been fired near the champs—elysees, see news reports, although we have not heard them here. francois hollande has been in the presidential headquarters, wanting to call his senior ministers to talk about what has happened. the french newspaper anne—elisabeth moutet says the attacker stopped near the champs—elysees, got out, shot at the police officers and was shot at the police officers and was shot as he ran away. as james said we still get the sense, watching the helicopter and the activity around the area at the moment that there still is a live police operation under way. i am still is a live police operation underway. iam not still is a live police operation under way. i am not sure that they are certain that there isn't someone else they are looking for. if those reports are true, and do bear in mind that people are prettyjumpy up the

and benoit cut right through it, and a nice easy-looking save for him, and he's a 14-year veteran, and's not scared. >> and the pennsylvania convention center, and the culture showcase paid homage to jackie robinson's legacy. he was an advocate of the civil rights movement. >> tough player. a smart player. and also a player who counselled you, young players, i am sure all young players he counselled with the dodger organization, and young players thlike i camen with he left. >>> day one of the nba playoffs yesterday began with the reigning champs beginning defense of their title, and lebron james tweeted his social media, it's the focus on the task at hand which is winning the first game. and lebron looking to reach the finals for the seventh straight season. lebron does the honors. and then pacers down four. and then final seconds, george trying to get the ball back to hit the game winner but myles takes the jumper. the game 109-108, and they take game one. happy easter, everyone. >>> i am rosemary conners for nbc10 "at issue." join us today when we meet the so-called, last mob standi

the socialist party's candidate did appallingly badly — benoit hamon‘s more pro—eu stance left him trailingon ended up with six per cent. working for his election, was the mp axelle lemaire, she has been minister for the digital economy, and represents the french citizens who live outside the country in britain and northern europe. i asked her what lesson can her party draw from the election. a new generation of politicians. they want to see new faces. it is a no vote in the sense that it is an anti—system vote. and emmanuel macron was smart enough to play that card. the socialist party wasn't good enough to renew itself. i think times have changed and party politics in the way it used to work doesn't work any longer. you will vote for emmanuel macron, obviously. oh, yes. in the second round. many people who really want big change but who don't like marine le pen, where do they go? my feeling is some of them will just abstain. i think it's a source of concern and it shouldn't be underestimated. i'm particularly worried coming from the conservative activists because francois fillon called fo

benoit is making it a priority in the new contract asking bidders to find ways of minimizing workersncerns and that bins should be carried easily and without strain. >> that give us us the ability to audit and hold their feet to the fire. >> reporter: what adjustments can the city make to the contract now to mine mize worker injury for the next year and a half of this contract? >> that's a good question and i actually don't have a good answer to it. we're in a contractual relationship. >> reporter: mark godfrey said he hopes speaking out will prompt the company to take a close are look at safety and training to lighten the load for workers collecting bins in backyards. >> should be one uniform way to do it. and if there's not, eliminate it. bring everything to the curb. >> reporter: the city administrator says that's not likely to happen. but he says in the future residents will be charged per bin which could cut down on the number of toters they have to lift. a recent audit doesn't discuss safety but notices the company's collection methods are consistent with reasonable industry pr

president, francois hollande, who is not standing this time, but the man who is standing for his party, benoitreal sense that the candidates are getting out early to vote, but many people as well because they know that there is so much at stake. >> melissa bell live. while you're speaking there, i want to tell our viewers we're looking at a live image here of emmanuel macron voting. it is 10:34 there in paris. polls have been open for a couple hours. mr. macron is a centrist who no one really took serious at first. he did create his own party, in fact, formed his own party. didn't have the backing of my major political parties. he finds himself now in the running. he backs liberal yet business-friendly measures to boost the economy. you're looking at live images here in paris, where emmanuel macron has just voted there. >> he's in a booth. there he is. he's behind the man in the red jacket, coming out with his wife. >> we have live cameras all over as these candidates cast their votes. >>> all right. we're going to turn back to the earth day celebrations around the world. >> absolutely. protes
