but which of them will be voted by the supporters of jean luc melenchon is a big question now, according to polls among the main rivals, a minimum margin of 51% versus 49, or he promises to put the country in order macron in 5 years, says oh the only good of the country, but tonight the citizens of the fifth republic in some major cities smashed and burned everything to come across such a hand. here is the unity ivan the good is following the development of events. kia, we didn’t want this, but now we have to choose the lesser of two evils. both options are equally terrible, each in its own way, the choice must be made, and it depends on your conscience that the veteran of french politics, jean-luc melenchon, who came third, will call not to give a single vote. marine le pen was expected by many paid attention to something else with the melancholy of his speech, he never mentioned the macron. the crowd is chanting not macrons, it's ridiculous in the cities, hell, or this night, dissatisfied with the results of the first round of elections, they built barricades and smashed shop windows,

jean-luc melenchon did not officially endorse macron.n to get elected, she we need to grab some of his voters and get more of the far right pundit who made her seem more normal in this election and she would also need the centerleft voters to stay home for this runoff. tom: this is really important, it is about turnout, right? caroline: it is about turnout, and in fact the turnout, tom, last night was not as high as in 2002. remember when marine le pen's father unexpectedly made it to the runoff, the turnout was not as bad as 2002, but still it was lower then the last time -- than the last time around. this will not help the incumbent, emmanuel macron. tom: caroline connan , thank you so much. i look at this as the witness. with a week yen, but look at the euro with a stronger micron -- macron move. lisa: this is the sense of relief because it was also the margin was wider, macron winning by a beer margin that people expected. it is an outlier chance. those people think there is not really a chance that marine le pen will be victorious,

last night, the far left candidate, jean—luc melenchon, who really defied expectations and did a lotand actually now he is the one who could potentially become king maker. last night he urged his supporters, mostly young people between the age of 18 and 2a, not to give their support to marine le pen. he did not go as far as to say that they should vote for emmanuel macron and if he does not do that, the risk for many here is that they will end up with a candidate at the other end of the extreme on the far right, as opposed to the one they wanted on the left, who they believe was the only person talking about the concerns, the things that matter to young people here like the climate crisis and inequalities. that is where both of these candidates really have to go if they want to pick up these votes. a chief economist at the economist told us what to expect next. marine le pen has — told us what to expect next. marine le pen has focused _ told us what to expect next. marine le pen has focused on _ told us what to expect next. marine le pen has focused on the - told us what to expect ne

and if we add up the votes cast for marine le pene, jean luc melenchon and rick zimur, and these are e -out-of-system let's say protest e votes, we get a figure of 52.17%. 52, that is, more than half of the protest vote. comment i agree with you, especially if you even listen to french political scientists. they say that french democracy is in crisis, that there is a large number, so to speak about the senteists, who did not come, this is not a record of 25%, which means that in the first round of people did not come to the polling station in 2002, 28%, but nevertheless less than a quarter of the electorate. i mean, these are the people who, uh, think they're useless to us. we have already gone more than once to these elections , nothing changes the amount and, therefore, as a further fragmented society. here. one french the sologist has described this society very well in speaking of the french archipelago. that is, these are various social faults - these are faults, which means in terms of the standard of living. this is the rift and the territorial outback. e cities are social fau

they will take place in june, preparations for them have already begun and jean-luc mélenchon suggestedthat all voters go to the very so-called third round to vote for him so that he becomes prime minister. well , it's up to the french anyway. in any case, the political palette of france has already changed, most likely, none of the candidates in the parliamentary elections will have a majority, but which of them will the french choose next. and most importantly, how will the economic situation in the country develop after macron will remain for another 5 years, but we will monitor. thank you nastya our european correspondent anastasia popova was in direct contact with us from france. and in conclusion, again to the events in the donbass, the reports of our military correspondents mikhail fedotov and sergey zenin. the commander of the alligator is preparing for a raid in the vicinity of raisins during the past, the pilot, paired with another ka-52, noticed a tank column of the ukrainian military , worked out, in the colony, a tank company. on the march , they worked out a pig helicopter

election could come down not to supporters of marine le pen or emmanuel macron, but supporters of jean—luc melenchone years ago, they voted mostly for mr macron in the run—off. this time around, many of them say they are not going to vote at all and of those that are, half say they will vote for marine le pen. i'm not going to go vote. there is no way i can let her win and there is no way i can let him win. and people don't know any more where to go, you know, what to think and who to believe. and if we compare melenchon and le pen's programmes, we can find some similarities, we can find some points that are in le pen's programme and melenchon�*s programme. the hopes and fears of voters may be outgrowing this election. mr macron is still the favourite but before there is any change in government, what has changed in france is the mood. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. jury members have been chosen for the legal battle betweenjohnny depp and actress amber heard. the pirates of the caribbean actor is suing his ex—wife for $50 million, claiming she defamed him in an opinion piece she wrote for the was

you have the centre with emmanuel macron, the far left, with jean—luc melenchon, and the far right withthese are the three powers that you have to reckon with. that means that the old traditional centre—left, socialist, centre—right, the republicans, they have really struggled more this time around. this is a confirmation of how emanuel macron sort of killed those two traditional parties, if you will. the question will be looking at the parliamentary elections and seeing if their failure in the presidential election translates to failure in the parliamentary election, where these traditional long—standing parties have a better base in the rural areas, have a better base across the country. if they manage to do well in the parliamentary elections, that maybe there is hope for them. if they do as badly as they did in the presidential election, then it will be a real big question as to what happens to these parties moving forward. the big auestion parties moving forward. the big question indeed. _ parties moving forward. the big question indeed. thank - parties moving forward. the big ques

quietly, quietly, immediately after the announcement of the results jean-luc mélenchon turned to themonarchists and just a disappointed frenchman, who scored about 20% in the first round. you can defeat mr. macron, and choose another path, i invite you to elect me prime minister. i urge you to build a new, common future for our people. the goal was defined and preparation for the parliamentary elections announced. among the losing candidates, the melanchon has already begun uniting the stan of the left eric zimur. proposing to form a legal coalition , the macron movement becomes a third competitive force of equal strength, the political future of france will finally become clear in less than 2 months in june, when the french will again come to the polls career he won every award an athlete could ever dream of. today , the legendary goalkeeper vladislav tretyak receives congratulations on his anniversary, the best hockey player of the 20th century, a three-time olympic champion and a ten-time world champion , ilya philip met with an outstanding goalkeeper at number 20. the soviets did

in clichy in the first round, this was good territory for the left—wing candidatejean—luc melenchon. candidate jeanenchon. emmanuel macron was candidatejean—luc melenchon. emmanuel macron was caught in the middle. an awful lot of votes to play forfor middle. an awful lot of votes to play for for these candidates. we have been looking at the policies they have put forward to try and win those voters over. the french aren't exactly thrilled with what is on offer this election. the frustration we found at this market in the capital is the same story across the country, just listen to this woman an office worker and patrick, a retired fireman. they will not be voting for anyone. translation: | am notj going to vote for marine because i hate the far right. but macron is not that different. he is president of the rich — arrogant, contemptuous. translation: i do not hate marine, she has got better, she's _ calmer, more mature. her speech is more poised but i do not agree with her on the more sensitive policies. another demonstration this weekend — street protests have been a running theme in macron�*s tim

he cannot put him in that post, it is the french electorate who have to decide, and jean—luc melenchonbut not probable is that he has the majority or that macron, and then becomes prime minister, and then you have a completely... one on the right and the other on the left. it would be for france a very bad time. but the polls show at the moment that macron will have the majority, because generally people vote the same way for the presidency as the parliamentary election, but surprises can happen. indeed, they certainly can. let�*s carry on talking about different elections. because as simon said, next week, there�*re local elections here in the uk. borisjohnson is expected to lose a lot of support. butjust how bad are the results likely to be? and will they be enough to trigger a vote of no confidence by the tories in the prime minister? often in the middle of a national government�*s term, the electorate are keen to give the incumbent government a bloody nose. how likely is that? a couple of issues here, for the one thing is that, you are right, - these are local elections, they are c

the far left candidate, jean—luc melenchon, got nearly 22% of votes.ey commanded close to three quarters of the vote. but when voters return to the polls in two weeks time for the second round they will be faced with the same choice they had in 2017 — emmanuel macron or marine le pen. �*le duel�* the papers called it. though this time the race could be much tighter. this is the latest polling — mr macron leading his challenger by just two points — 51—19. the focus for both will now be on convincing those who voted for other candidates, to pick them on their ballot paper this time around. and it's the far left voters of mr melenchon that could have the biggest sway. he has already been very clear about who he would like them not to vote for. translation: you must not give a single vote to marine le pen. i you must not give a single vote to marine le pen. now, i think you've got the message. every other candidate — except the far right eric zemmour, made similar pleas — but despite the pleas, polls suggest that even supporters of mr melenchon are conside

there are performance was abysmal, and the runner—up was the far left candidate, jean—luc melenchon,nly 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 programme bringing you the result, starting at 17:30 gmt — that's 18:30 bst for viewers in the uk. join us for that, as france decides. it's the middle of the night injapan, where coastguard vessels and patrol aircraft are using searching the waters for 26 passengers and crew of a sightseeing boat that's missing off the northern island of hokkaido. the authorities lost contact with the vessel, the kazu 1, after its crew told the coastguard that it was taking on wate

they voted for jean-luc melenchon for his votes , a struggle unfolded between the rivers, but many of either simply. they will not come to the polling station, or they will vote, uh, by empty ballots, but nevertheless, and after that, a struggle will unfold even because of the parliamentary elections. and there it doesn't matter who wins today, there, most likely, not a single candidate will have a majority. so the political landscape of france anyway. eh, it has already changed and will change. well, who will win today? clear in the evening according to the laws of france you can not publish any exit polls during the day . and? well, nevertheless, but figures will be published, but from the same belgium that is , outside of france, these questions can be published, nevertheless, all this will only appear in the late afternoon, and the final results after the closing of all polling stations. basically. they close at six, but in big cities. uh, the voting has been extended for another hour, so that as many people as possible can come there, so the results are the results. uh, will be c

then this dependence on russia should be gradually reduced, and there are other candidates jean- luc melenchones of the left, took the third position for his such a balanced, sober policy and active opinion, as far as it is concerned. here foreign policy also attracts the french on the one hand, the program is aimed at social topics on social support of citizens on the other hand. he believes that the rejection of the same russian energy resources. on the contrary, he will aggravate the situation of the french themselves, make it more painful for the same economy of france itself, therefore he believes that such measures, but aimed at the destruction of france absolutely. he also scored quite a lot of illogical ones, including through the use of digital technologies, he held 12 rallies a day with the help of a hologram. this attracts young people to his ranks, but nevertheless, according to the polls, he only has third place, who gets. as a result, it will be clear in the second round. tonight, no exit polls until 8:00 p.m. have been published under the laws of france for 20 years now - this i

all this did not convince jean-luc melenchon, who, after the duel, called on everyone to go to the thirdions in june to vote for him. to elect him as prime minister is preparing for the summer vote, and others, who lost in the first round of the party, are already holding working meetings with their headquarters, and rick zimur. france is now, in fact, split into three serious camps, each of which can no longer count on the majority. this means that the political landscape of france is out of depending on the results of the second round. in any case, it will change and there will be many dissatisfied with this alignment, which in the current turbulent situation is fraught with unpredictable consequences for strange anastasia popova am i vernadsky the european bureau of news this evening, the uk announced a new package of sanctions against our country , a ban on supplies. silver forest materials caviar from russia are also significantly increasing duties on diamonds and rubber, but this is not enough for london premier johnson demands from europe declare total war on russian energy resour

here, and this, of course, has affected many, as for other candidates, then in third place is jean- luc melenchont eric comes on his heel in winter - this is another representative of the right flank, which, in fact, moved either closer to the center, and the matrons began to fear this, that such an image of her, but became rather soft compared to the very zimur, which e offers, among other things completely ban migration and take fairly strict measures. and well, lipn uh against the background of him, of course, quite gently no longer refuses to leave the eu and uh, he still suggests concentrating on the life of the french, as for one more candidate, and valery cross, who initially posed a threat, and m- m macron she is a representative of the republicans, then during the election campaign her rating fell sharply and now they say that in fact. it offers all the same measures as the macron, and the macron is very, very disliked growing such hatred. here, protests are expected against him, regardless of what the results of the elections will be. well, the results say that there can be any surprise
