a very difficult time politically being had by emmanuel macron, who is weakened. a moment of great uncertainty, the fall of michel barnier�*s government on wednesday. a replacement has yet to be named. five years after the devastating fire, notre dame will officially reopen tonight ready for mass to be held tomorrow. here we see an embrace from the president of france with the president—elect of the united states. emmanuel macron had planned to make the cathedral�*s reopening and optimistic climax to the year, also marked by the paris 0lympics. also marked by the paris olympics. this is the moment we waited for, the photograph opportunity with the president and president—elect. walking up the steps into the palace. yes. the steps into the palace. yes, these optics — the steps into the palace. yes, these optics are _ the steps into the palace. yes, these optics are always - these optics are always important. did you these optics are al

we just saw moments ago the french president, emmanuel macron, standing outside waiting for mr. to arrive. macron invited trump to the reopening ceremony of notre dame cathedral and now there is much fanfare around his arrival. as you can see president-elect trump shaking macron's hand there. let's listen in beaucoup j'arrive and there it was. >> the handshake between president-elect trump and the president. president emmanuel macron there an informal, very tight grip, which they have shared before, which we have covered when they have met the president of france. president macron has been critical of president elect trump during the biden administration. but he is, if not a 180, making a significant adjustment now that trump will be returning to power with this invitation. with the first call after the election congratulating donald trump on the win. of course, they'll go in and we will see them again at the beginning of their conversation. let's go to cnn reporter alayna treene, who is, of course, watching everything that's happening. and the expectation of what happens now. i

french president emmanuel macron invited party leaders to engage in cross—party talks, as he attemptse last week, which toppled his michel barnier—led government. party leaders will meet at macron s elysee palace office this afternoon. macron s office said that only those who had shown they placed themselves in a framework of compromise had been called upon for tuesday stalks, appearing to exclude the far—right national rally and hard—left france unbowed. with me is our news reporter pierre—antoine denis. so he is effectively missing out to really significant groupings here.- groupings here. yes, absolutely. _ groupings here. yes, absolutely. the - groupings here. yes, absolutely. the idea | groupings here. yes, - absolutely. the idea that he is still convinced that he can find some sort of republican blog within this very fragmented parliament. you have three groups here that are with equal seats but he still feels he can find a republican block mainly by trying to dislocate the left side of this assembly, and trying to appeal to socialists. what we are mainly seeing is emmanuel macr

i mean, when they last met, emmanuel macron was a rock star and now his government could be crumblingcron is certainly in search of-- he's trying to find a prime minister that can, you know, be acceptable to both the left and the right there. he has trouble. there's questions of whether or not his government is going to entirely collapse. in the meantime, donald trump has succeeded remake ing the republican party in his own image, and attracting new voters not typically among the g.o.p. ilk. and that's to watch as the meeting take place. neil: thanks, phil. and fox's coverage of what's going on in paris right now. you know i can't believe you lost another kevin. it's a holiday tradition! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours. lowe's knows the perfect gifts don't have to stretch your budget. that's why we offer a free select tool when you buy select tools and batteries from our top brands. so, perfecting the holidays... oh, you're good. is easier than ever. lowe's knows how to help you holiday. total beets, america's best sell

emmanuel macron does not have a good name yet. tom: so waiting if he can lend on someone that will appease all sides of this political debate. thank you very much with that exclusive conversation with the powerbroker in paris right now. breaking lines right now, and we move to the politics of asia and the uncertainty there focused on south korea. some lines crossing in terms of what we have been giving as we look at moves to impeach the president on the back of the imposition of martial law. remarkable events earlier. this week we are seeing live pictures right now in seoul, the south korean capital. yoon is in focus, the national assembly speaker will be given an address at 3:20 p.m. according to reports it up south korea. a opposition lawmakers will be blocking and are blocking the president from entering the national assembly. that appears to be lawmakers blocking the entrance. we continue to monitor events as it seems moves are underway given that the leader of the political party has no said he is willing to move ahead with i

emmanuel macron is looking for a prime minister.he french president needs a premier to pass the budget through a divided parliament. >> i'm saying there will come a time that the pressure will get more intense but he will have last word. tom: let's get more firm -- from kriti gupter. what is next? where does he go? kriti: i've never learned war that i have in the last 24 hours. there is a way out and as you heard they are not calling for the resolution but the left is. the gods pressure to find a caretaker to hold on. it was a playbook he used before to hold until he figures out his next step. whoever the prime minister may be it is likely that government will use a special law and the first couple of months you could see more austerity given constraints called months after the budget including defense and taxes, affecting fresh citizens. tom: there is sutton lee and irony, more austerity year. who is on the list? kriti: france has a tradition of bringing back figures from the path to retake the role, bernard is a key name, that nam

for emmanuel macron to find a prime — sure. for emmanuel macron to find a prime minister _ sure. prime minister and probably means that we will need to wait a bit more and of course any new prime minister will be... there will be a threat that there is again a no confidence vote.— confidence vote. sorry to interrunt _ confidence vote. sorry to interrupt you _ confidence vote. sorry to interrupt you but - confidence vote. sorry to interrupt you but we've l confidence vote. sorry to l interrupt you but we've got confidence vote. sorry to - interrupt you but we've got to leave it there. thank you so much for your time. from paris to frankfurt, where all eyes will be on the european central bank. the ecb has a lot to consider. inflation has crept up a bit in the eurozone, but the two biggest economies in the bloc are both grappling with political instability and tough economic challenges. add to that the impact the trump presidency will have when he takes office in the new year. interest rates are expected to be cut today again today by the ecb but what guidance will president christ

he's a close confidant to emmanuel macron.eresting because he's managed to tow the middle ground. he's not disliked. i use the double negative intentionally. he's able to work across the aisle. i'm not going to say everyone loves him. people don't immediately come out the gate being ready to vote no-confidence in him again. kailey: i don't want to draw parallels that should not exist or simplified to suggest all democracies are similar but we went through something in the u.s. one year ago where a speaker of the house was ousted, mike johnson basically, no one seemed to have a problem with even if no one liked him. despite attempts to oust him, there wasn't the appetite to do it again. i wonder no matter who this next prime minister is, now we know, if there is going to be appetite for another no-confidence vote when the situation financially for france could become dire quickly? kathryn: interesting you mentioned that. bayrou is a political animal who saw this scenario coming. in an august 18 editorial, he said he thought the

the 13th century gothic cathedral, emmanuel macron vowed notre dame, our lady, would be repaired and reopened in five years. the work began. 2000 statues restored, 2500 oak trees to rebuild the new blue roof, religious relics and will now have a face of honor and presentation. a couple of hours before the ceremony began, trump and emmanuel macron met at the presidential palace. it is trump's first appearance since winning the election on november 5th and emmanuel macron, one of the world leaders who was in office during trump's first term that ended in 2020 talking about the past and the future. >> it is wonderful for french people to welcome you. an honor to be here. >> we had a good time together and a lot of success working together. >> reporter: the restoration calls 65 million coming from us donors. tomorrow the first mass at notre dame will be celebrated, a resurrection of the church and catholicism in paris and in france, the western world. arthel: will you go to the mass? >> reporter: i will if i can get up. it is a little late right now. arthel: okay, great job. >> reporter:

emmanuel macron targeted the last 24 hours saying these people could vote with their conscience. could potentially make or break this vote and that is where the speculation lies that if you see enough socialists in parliament abstain from the vote, there is a slim but not impossible to is that michel barnier could make it out of this vote with his job intact. tom: that would be quite the out come. slim but not impossible as you say. talk about the debt challenges of france and whether this is a broader challenge in terms of the prospects, the risks of a broader european debt crisis? >> the comparisons have been made of this idea of french debt , the yield premium now surpassing that relative to german debt of greece, of spain and that brings back memories from 2011. although the challenges are similar, a story of deficit, unsustainable growth and spending, systemic risk is not quite the same. that is perhaps where markets have gone too far, that is what the critics would argue around the comparisons

so emmanuel macron has very little authority in all of this.is position remains but he can't really affect how this plays out over the next few days. after that he can, but we will come to that in a second. >> i think that does it for us in terms of setting up the scene here. appreciate you staying for us. for more on what the latest developments could mean for markets, for investors, i want to bring in andrew cunningham. andrew comes to us from london. andrew, all of this is quibbling or arguing over the french budget. at the end of the day, will france be able to reduce its budget deficit or are the far-right and the far left teaming up to squeeze michel barnier and his leadership to the point where we are just going to have a standstill and a government shutdown? >> i think as your colleague explained very well, this looks like there's going to be a new election, but it won't happen until the middle of next year. in the meantime assuming the government is voted out, there might be some sort of technical government in place which emmanuel mac

all of the business leaders met with emmanuel macron. happy talk. macron under pressure, it does not want to step down and -- if you will have them doing absently nothing at a time when the trajectory for germany is unclear, they are going up against serious changes. look at what is happening in united states of america. we have had a red wave, the majorities are small but they have majority where they need one. we have heard from the incoming treasury secretary talking about a global realignment. do you think europe is in a position to manage a global realignment when the core of europe, france and germany, is absolutely directionless? what we heard from pamela gordon and simon french, what is the power of growth front the european economy? the ecb -- basically turned around recently and said if we cut interest rates now for something that is a structural problem it could be a waste of ammunition for when we need it. what does that tell you about what the ecb thinks is behind the downturn in economic growth? tobin: and how much are they at -- lisa:

what do you think we will see emmanuel macron do next?g michel barnier into weeks, he cannot wait another two months and there are three reasons why he needs to act the first is that he has a visit to france later this week by donald trump for the reopening of notre dame. this is a lovely opportunity to put france back on the international stage and show it in its best light and he does not want that to get screwed up. he also needs to protect his own position the longer this crisis drags on, the more vulnerable he becomes and he'll want to try to get a new government in place quickly and france has no budget and the current budget expires at the end of this month. thousands of protesters have marched on the south korean parliament in seoul, demanding the resignation of the country's president. opposition politicians have formally introduced a motion to impeach yoon suk yeol for his bungled attempt to impose martial law. it's unclear if it will pass as the ruling party say they won't support it — but the country's largest trade union has

emmanuel macron five years ago said we are going to reopen this building.will make sure this is done quickly. there were some who said he could not move that quickly. here we see he was able to make good on that. it is also a reminder that president-elect trump is in some ways having his own reopening because as this building is being reopened, of course we are now seeing him step out on the stage and remind people that a second trump administration is going to be talking to a bunch of world leaders. i want to now play some sound of what president-elect trump and emmanuel macron said when they met earlier today. >> we had a great relationship as everyone knows. we accomplished a lot together and the people of france are spectacular. it is an honor to be here. we had good time together and we had a lot of success, really great success working together on defense and offense too. and it srnl seems like the world is going a little crazy right now. and we will be talking about that. >> so now let's bring in vaughn hillyard who is in paris, france for a tough as
