the far right leader for the front national got ever so close to making it all the way to the elysee palace. she made to it the runoff, after all, which is a lot better than any far right leader has ever demonstrate france and a lot better than her predecessor, her father, did, for the same party. what emmanuel macron managed to do was stop what was perceived as a potential wave of populism and nationalism in europe, and of course here in the united states as well. emmanuel macron beat a populist candidate very much like donald trump here in the united states. he beat a nationalist candidate also like donald trump here in the united states. also this was a victory for someone who was pro european union against the european bloc following apart. marine le pen was very much for the end of the european union. you have heard that from donald trump also in the past. he has said in the past that he was for more brexits to come in the european union. one possibility was a frexit. yes, this is the word used for the potential departure of france from the european union. because of emmanuel macron's

the ceremony taking place at the elysees palace in paris. the former investment banker is succeeding francois holland. macron won the resounding victory over marine le pen a week ago. >>> pope francis flying back to rome. from a one-day trip to portugal. he talked about his upcoming meeting with president trump. the pope said he doesn't want to quote prejudge the president before meeting him. pope francis adding he intends to speak his mind and hopes president trump will do the same. trump is scheduled to meet the pope may 24th when he visits the vatican. >>> in new york, police were called on to a jetblue flight at jfk airport because of an argument between passengers and crew members over a birthday cake. a new jersey family on the way to las vegas said they were ordered off the flight after a flight attendant asked them to move a cake that they brought on board. the family saying they complied. jetblue says they did not, they became agitated, cursed and yelled at the crew. the family was removed. i'm sure that's the end of that story. >>>

let's find out what the mood is there this morning, let's cross to karin giaonnone who's at the elysee palaceget to the palace. the street is in lockdown. all we can see here, really, a police and the worldmedia. journalists are here from all over the world, as you can imagine. it will be a couple of hours until emmanuel macron arrives stop people going that the police —— the palace. he will be handed france's nuclear codes. there will be a grand ceremony in the ballroom of debt palace and after that, he will emerge as france's next president. —— the palace. this talk about this some more with a french commentator and journalist. as it's sunk in for the french that they have 39—year—old, the youngest president ever? think a lot of people have been out and about celebrating. since then, they are also aware that the president has an immense task ahead in effectively getting into the nitty—gritty. he is aware of it himself, in a sense. it's usually the first to support task is to win an election and then governance follows but in his case, he won in the most convincing circumstances possible and

: what's going to happen now is that within a week, the current president will move out of the elysee palace and emmanuel macron will move in. we're looking at a two-phase election in the middle of june, and he will be trying to organize his movement into a party that can gain at least a substantial presence in that assembly, if not indeed a majority. he's also going to be trying to draw on both the traditional centrist conservatives and the traditional centrist part of the socialist party. already the current defense of the social government is clearly macron on his side and we'll see people drawn to him. he'll try to form a government after legislative elections that can last through some pretty considerable reforms that he has in mind. certainly nothing marie le pen had in mind, withdrawing from europe, withdrawing from the euro and increasing nato, but something more like the traditional conservatives have thought would work. he'll be working with the european union. i think marie le pen will have a much more difficult time organizing a brexit deal because they will hold together where t

his ratings were terrible and so some work in a room in the elysee palace they cooked up a plan theyome to power and assure a continuity for the socialist party. you know, of course, if you are not a supporter -- if course, if you are not a supporter —— if you are a supporter of emmanuel macron, he says everything he did was his own personal choice, his conscience prevailed and this is what he did but there is no question they were very close. just reading they were very close. just reading the other day than francois hollande was inaugurated exactly 5 years ago 1 was inaugurated exactly 5 years ago !of was inaugurated exactly 5 years ago ! of the !st things he did was fly to germany to see angela merkel who was in the plane with him on that trip? emmanuel macron. they had been together very close for the past 5 years. not to say that emmanuel macron doesn't criticise a lot of what francois hollande did and i think emmanuel macron genuinely felt constrict dead and his liberal pro—business tendencies were constrained and kept down and thwarted by francois hollande. but, i think macron

this is a nice boon for macron as he starts his tenure at the elysees palace.pport for our marsh -- en marche! the data is getting better. you know what, i do not know what it is about my chat. there you go. day, something rude will come up on that, not that i say anything rude. rude to me. volatility. i do not think it has been unleashed. i think if you look at it from the context over a period time, you are seeing the momentum diverge sharply versus where we spxwith the chicago board volatility. is versus global policy uncertainty. that is what is really hitting the markets, so that is one prism to look at it through. the shanghai composite has closed, down .4% in shanghai. the mood in the markets i think is one of settling and. they have this new appointment in terms of somebody to oversee mr. mueller and the investigation into the russian issue. that is for the moment. republicans and democrats -- the republicans are not running away from trump gesture. i am, however, running away to digital radio. i am with carolyn hector. fullwith guy johnson for global t

dash to the elysee palace. speaking mr macron is on his way to the louvre. laurent, you must be disappointed. what does it mean for your movement now, will you stay aligned to the front national or will you break away again? list tomorrow i am very sad because paradoxically, even if he is not the most unpopular president, francois hollande has been re—elected tonight. through his lookalike, emmanuel macron. that's why our patriotic movement, debout la france, will go on. we will be a true opposition instead of the republicans, because the republicans asked french citizens to act emmanuel macron. they are a fake opposition. we will be the true patriotic opposition to mr macron. we'll talk about that more in a second. jacques, your reaction to the election? it is a huge victory, there's no doubt of it. i think it's even too big a victory because things are not going to start now, things are not going to start now, things would be very, very difficult. i just heard things would be very, very difficult. ijust heard
