french president emanuel macron and his wifejust french president emanuel macron and his wife just leavingtheir home in the north of france. we saw earlier marine le pen casting her vote, and they are the two challengers on whom all the focus is now, because there are 12 candidates in all in this first round of the voting, but both of them out in front, and with a very small margin apparently between them, according to the polling. so them, according to the polling. so the next round, in two weeks' time, will to be between the top two candidates. and it is anticipated that they are currently out in front as france goes to the polls. and of course, french president emanuel macron has been focusing on the situation in ukraine and commentators are saying that his focus away from domestic events has enabled marine le pen to cement her support by focusing very much on the cost of living crisis, which is affecting france in the same way as it's affecting many countries currently, with cost of basics having increased dramatically, not just because of pressure on oil and gas prices with the war in

vladimir putin congratulated emanuel macron. he may have wanted marine le pen to win but he congratulated macron. i sincerely wish you success in your state activities as well as good health and well-being. >>> president macron has tried very hard to use his personal diplomacy to end this war, calling macron -- calling putin a lot of times in the beginning. that didn't go great. >> no, because i think that putin has already decided to go to war unfortunately. in the past he had some success with him. for instance, when he met him in 2019, and then the result was a normal diplomat meeting on minsk, and it was very encouraging at that time. but after that there was the covid and then putin was very isolated and i think it was too late. when emanuel macron went to see him, i think he already decided to go to war. >> so given that fact, given what we're seeing and given the fact this war isn't turning out as putin expected, nobody expected, not even ukraine's allies expected it to be brave and courageous and all of that. what happens

emanuel macron trying to change that debate by saying this is a referendum on the european union. right? they are linked- — european union. is he right? they are linked. if— european union. is he right? they are linked. if you _ european union. is he right? they are linked. if you ask— european union. is he right? tie are linked. if you ask marine le european union. is he right? tie1 are linked. if you ask marine le pen or emmanuel macron they will say, we don't want france to leave the eu but emmanuel macron will save more europe is the solution, and marine le pen will say less is the solution. inaudible voters who vote either way will feel that they are past the solution or not. so, both candidates have cast their votes. 0ur correspondent anna holligan is in the northern town of henin—beaumont — marine le pen's home territory: well, it's a lazy sunday afternoon here. this is actually one of the busiest places. but many people are hoping for a momentous evening as the results come in. and many people are optimistic that she could actually do it, marine le pen, even though the odd

second round is more a defeat for marine defendant a victory for marine defendant a victory for emanuel macronly the majority of people voted for emmanuel macron because they wanted to get rid of marine le pen comment not because they necessarily agreed with emmanuel macron. that said, i think the narrative of emanuel macron being his widely unpopular president is a little bit overstated when you look at the numbers that he did any first round. he did better in the first round this time around than he did in 2017. so yes, he has angered many people, but you have also quite a few people in france, a big chunk of the population, that actually agrees and still agrees and maybe agrees more with the president this time around than they did five years ago, and add to that, of course, this republican front, as it is known in france, which is barring the far right from reaching the highest levels of power by any means necessary, evenif power by any means necessary, even if it means voting for somebody you dislike. what else has this election _ somebody you dislike. what else has this election showed -

emanuel macron has been ahead in the polls and most people given those polls are expecting him to win that 49% of people who voted in the first round of the elections two weeks ago did not vote for either emanuel macron or marine le pen. what are those people going to do? the traditional parties of the left and right, the socialists and the republicans, they were frankly crushed in the first round of the election. there are performance was abysmal, and the runner—up was the far left candidate, jean—luc melenchon, who got a 7.7 million votes. his votes were only a little behind met in the pen�*s and water are his voters going to do? when he had been assessed, a lot of his supporters come up saying choosing between macron and in the pen is like choosing between the cholera and the plague. just think about it, this is a real dilemma for people. will they throw their support behind one or other of the candidates, stay at home, or go to the polling booth and register a blank vote? that is essentially a protest vote. voting takes place on sunday in france. and we will have a special program

we heard from french president emanuel macron saying he wants to see a total block on all oil and coal exports to european union countries this week. we heard from the european council saying they want to see the sanctions strengthened this week, too. so we will see further action on that front over the coming days. but the other message that we've been hearing from european leaders, from nato allies is they want to see an investigation into these allegations of war crimes. now, president zelenskyy has called on the international criminal court to carry out an investigation. we've heard from german chancellor olaf scholes and other european leaders they will be able to facilitate in carrying out the investigation. they want to see independent investigators into the into ukraine to take a look at the evidence and the continued message we've heard from zelenskyy is that russia is carrying out war crimes in ukraine, and he had said this amounts to genocide against the ukrainians. >> the important thing is to get those investigators in, not just journalists, but investigators who gather le

emanuel macron beat out marjorie le pen on sunday. between the ages of 35 to 59. it's left the west nursing a political hangover and wondering what comes next. joining me from paris is keir simmons. keir, looking ahead toward the parliamentary elections in france. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. you know, katy, it's really a split screen here in france. there is the global picture and the clear success for president macron and then the questions, just to talk about the global picture and the success, there will be western leaders breathing a sigh of relief today because of course macron's opponent, marie le pen was someone who was a fan of president putin, not someone who likes nato or the european union. so that will have really shaken europe if she had been elected. she wanted elected. in fact, president macron won by 16%, so pretty impressive. but you're right, the big question here now is about those parliamentary elections. there isn't a lame duck president here in france. there's no such thing. in a way, it's a good way to unde
