jean-luc melenchon is the most popular candidate here, and his voters don't want a man from big financeither. reporter: laurence david-moalic dismisses such arguments as pure propaganda. she will be running for office herself as an "en marche" candidate in the parliamentary elections in june. ms. david-moalic: i want to keep on working for macron's movement, because his policies make sense, they are pragmatic and coherent. but we have a mountain to climb, and perhaps you need a touch of madness to make it. reporter: she sees france at a crossroads, and her priority is for the country to stay on its cosmopolitan and pro-eu course. elizabeth: fatima is one of many mothers who have lost their sons in the conflict in ukraine. three years ago, her teenage son vadim was killed in one of the deadliest episodes, when dozens of people died in rioting and a fire in the ukrainian port city of odessa. it was the result of violent clashes between pro-russian activists and ukrainian nationalists. fatima knows that nothing can bring her son back, but not knowing what exactly happened makes her loss ev

re round forjean—luc melenchon, they were populist as well.die die with many policies that emmanuel macron has been speaking about. if he wants to get policies through, he needs a majority in parliament. at the moment, he only had a movement, it is an idea. when they go to the elections injune, he has two hope he can get over 200 deputies in the national assembly. if he can't, he has to have a coalition of the willing, bringing politicians from right and left. as you mentioned it, let's bring up the latest poll on the parliamentary elections. temp christian, it might be a good time for you to give us a lesson in how the french system of government works, how much power does the president have? how much power does parliament have? power is split between the two. a bit like the american system, you can have a majority of 299, a simple majority out of 577 deputies. it is a two round election, much like the presidential election in june. it round election, much like the presidential election injune. it is spread over a week, but the thing is, it i

he said that she isa jean—luc melenchon. supporters will come to her, sceptical about globalisation and the eu, or at worst that they will stay at home. at the same time, she has also tried to appeal to supporters of the right—wing, as the candidate fillon who was knocked out in the first round. she faces a difficult task in time to motivate people from all areas of french politics. i asked her about this on saturday at a news, but as you said she would appeal to the supporters of fillon and jean—luc melenchon. i think it what's worried emmanuel macron supporters. they worried that people will like her or stay at home. it may be narrower than the poll suggests. they have both been talking about the future of the eu and raising the prospect of france potentially exiting the eu. what is the view of each of them on that? marine le pen has campaigned for yea rs marine le pen has campaigned for years as marine le pen has campaigned for yea rs as a marine le pen has campaigned for years as a prominent anti—eu figure, suggesting th

indeed reflected the divisions accurately within france, there's no reason to presume that jean—luc melenchon'se want to do well or force were ffion's people, or indeed the front national. so he may end up the parliament that is quite difficult deal with. that's it the papers of the moment, i'll be back with tim and benedicte at 11:30pm for another look at the front pages. coming up next, meet author. the thriller writer david baldacci has enjoyed the kind of success most authors can only dream about. his first book, absolute power, became a bestseller and it was turned into a film, starring and directed by clint eastwood. david baldacci has gone on to write 30 novels, which have sold more than 100 million copies around the world. his latest is called the fix and it's his third book about the detective amos decker, who witnesses a seemingly senseless and random murder outside the headquarters of the fbi, in washington, dc. david baldacci, i'd like to start, if i may, by rewinding the clock back to your childhood, when your mother gave you a notebook in which to write stories. had you always wan

the same could be true ofjean—luc melenchon, maybe this is the high point for him?n votes, but what happens to the movement over the next five yea rs ? the movement over the next five years? there is a big difference also with marine le pen. we will enter the national assembly for the first time in reality, so we will be for the first time, in a position to d raft new laws for the first time, in a position to draft new laws and so on. of course, jean—luc melenchon is not an eternal man, his time will come, but we have the new generation ready as you might have seen in the figures. we are the third political party in terms of use and support. the new generation is there and the future stands with us. it is a factual stance. and what he was saying, for the front nationale, it is in their dna to be fascist. you have someone like the general secretary who said the gas chamber was like some kind of detail in history, not really sure it existed or something like that. it is proof that behind there, it exists. now all the eternal divisions that marine le pen was able to fe

found a majority were anti-establishment, supporting either le pen or the left-wing populist, jean-luc melenchon. centrist emmanuel macron, le pen's opponent in the runoff, was third choice despite being the only candidate under 40. but not long ago, le pen was considered so controversial, few would admit to supporting her. >> why when you are french, why when you are 20, you want to go to the front national? why? >> reporter: journalist charlotte rotman spent 18 months traveling the country and getting to know young le pen activists for her book "20 years old and at the front." >> she knows how to welcome them, the young people. also, when you are 20 and when somebody trusts you, i don't know in the united states, but in france, it's very rare. and when the front national says, "okay, you are 22, but you are going to be the head of this list for this next election," they feel really like... >> reporter: like they are appreciated. >> yes. really. >> reporter: in fact, the party has asked bouquin, who is just 24, to run for a paris seat in parliament next month. >> ( translated ): i was given new

the hard life, jean—luc melenchon, the official candidate for the socialist was another, the social democratel macron who woi'i social democrat, emmanuel macron who won the race in the end. we are just waiting. as many of the people in the elysee palace are for former, waiting. as many of the people in the elysee palace are forformer, or the elysee palace are forformer, or the outgoing president francois hollande to emerge. from that meeting with emmanuel macron, the incoming president, the handover of power, the conversation between the two men. they know each other so well. handing over the nuclear codes as well. this very private meeting is critical. it is absolutely crucial to this whole process, isn't it? absolutely. it is the effective handover of power that is happening at the moment. in a short period of time, we will see president hollande out of the elysee palace, honoured by the republican guard salute, of course he will be welcomed at any time by the macrons in the elysee palace as well and will follow the actual inauguration ceremony which is very solemn and will happen in the b

were widespread over the voters coming from the conservative right and also the voters forjean—luc melenchonpen but maybe it is not totally clear, but maybe it is not totally clear, but maybe it will give a candidates an advantage, one of the other. will those abstentions cause the macron tea m those abstentions cause the macron team a lot of concern or will they have already factored it in?” team a lot of concern or will they have already factored it in? i think it was expected, so i think once again we will see, but of course during this campaign between the two rounds, what was really hard, really tough, and it was clear that many people were not deciding to go and to choose between the two candidates, which is once again unusual because when you see, for example in 2000 two, john marine le pen at the second round, the turnout was eight points higher at the second round. this is a little different. i mentioned a televised debate already. it was such an angry affair in many ways. you had two very distinct and radically different visions of what france can be in the future. what is your res

the people that voted forjean—luc melenchon think there's lead when voting for a man who used to be apport. we were just seeing pictures of emmanuel macron, going to be paying tribute today to a moroccan father of two who drowned after being pushed into the river seine in paris by right wing skinheads on the 1st of may 1995, on the sidelines of a front national demonstration. he's talking to the media. why is that particularly significant, james? i think it is significant, james? i think it is significant for him and those who support him because it shows from his point of view and their point of view the clear difference between him asa view the clear difference between him as a candidate and the front national as a party, as a movement. a manual mac run has said marine le pen inherits her views from the man who is about to speak here, jean—marie le pen, who spoke in the past dismissing the holocaust and so on. emmanuel macron feels there is a very clear dividing line between him and the front national, led by marine le pen. he wants to make sure french people understand that. thank

two rounds of primary for both the social iist jean-luc melenchon. and then we're having the parliamentary election, so, we are having a new battle. yesterday, as we said, we have have strong images, a battle of communication which has been won by eman u wmanuel macron yester. he tried to reinvent a specific manner of doing politics. we all say doing politics in a different manner is something good, but this time, he managed to do it. and this is what we didn't manage do do as republicans. >> you talk about the ideas, but some of the ideas are the same. you talk about the right policy from the republican side. there is similarity on it, the cut in corporation tax. also reduction in terms of the public sector, not as much as he was talking about, i think he was talking about 100,000 jobs out of public service to 120 to macron. there will be support for some of the macron campaign pledges from republicans, as you see it? >> well, you know, we are part of the history. my political party comes from religion. and there is a tradition. and we will fight fo

backers are far right candidate marine le pen and those who supported the far left candidate jean-luc melenchonhe understands their anger. 20ls indicate macron has a digit -- 20 point lead over marine le pen. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. i am emma chandra. vonnie: thank you. we want to take you back to the milken institute global conference. erik schatzker is there, and he is joined by hedge fund industry by acider -- he is joined hedge fund industry in the -- insider. erik: that would be not other than josh friedman from the canyon partners. you are a credit guy. credit markets are running pretty hot now. how comfortable are you putting money to work? josh: we have been avoiding things that look like the high yields index or things that are in the high yields index for a long time. probably too long of a time, but we have been. i think we are at the end of a cycle where rates have gone down and down, and there is an increasingly desperate desire for yields. something on the order of $10 trillion of zero yields, negat

this is aulnay—sous—bois, where the left—wing populist jean—luc melenchon has a high level of supportthe division france faces. translation: we don't share the same views of macron. it will be very tough for the poorest people. there will be new decrees in the summer that will hurt them. translation: but he's aware of new technology, of the changes in the way we communicate. he knows about young people, social networks and what all that can bring to the workplace. i think his problems will start very soon. i know people who voted for melenchon who will be out on the streets. gilbert is a local taxi driver. he voted front national, mainly because they're tough on crime and drugs, but also on economic grounds. do you think macron can deliver change? no, he can't do anything. to change the situation, he needs 20 or 30 years. 20 or 30 years? 20 or 30 years. today, macron met francois hollande at ve day commemorations. hollande was one who tried to change the country, but stalled in the face of the famous french resistance. will the same happen now? the guy is so determined, and our instit

don't forget jean—luc melenchon, who did well in the first round boat.st round boat. nearly 50% of the french people voted for a eurosceptic candidates. yes, absolutely, if he doesn't do the business over the next five years people will look at those figures and say he didn't really have the mandate and there is a risk that one of those two leaders will come back and may well hunt mr macron. the reaction here in america this has been bubbling from with joy from democrats. i keep reminding people here that she did get one third of the boat, marine le pen. —— vote. —— vote. so who is the man who will become the next president of france? at 39 years of age, he has limited political experience. he spentjust two years as the economy minister in the socialist government of francois hollande. his performances in the tv debates were polished, on the campaign trail he appeared confident and in charge of his brief, but what about the man behind the politician? tonight, the french voters will see a side to emmanuel macron they have never seen before. the french net

the first one to break the rule was jean-luc melenchon, leader of the far left who did not endorse emanuel macron. you can see the same thing also with the trade unions which marched yesterday. the third trade union in france, and first among the public offices in france, and we have the marjorie with us this morning. the unions did not march altogether like they did in 2002 yesterday. has the context changed. >> good morning. the context has changed, of course, since 2002. i would like to recall that in 2002 all the unions did not march altogether. may 1 st they're used to marching, so we are deeply attached to our independence. and as usual, we don't call for anything in -- we don't give any voting recommendation. >> but the unions in france represent 11% of workers and employees. don't you have a responsibility to avoid among everything abstention, which is probably going to be very high in the second round? >> we think that we -- we are -- sorry. we don't -- at first of the year, what we think is that we are here to defend the workers particular rights. we are not here to defend the ri

restaurant worker joanna thurloy voted for left winger jean luc melenchon in the first round and nowes a major dilemma. >> ( translated ): i don't feel understood by either side. because with emmanuel macron, it's all about capitalism, and speculation. and marine le pen, it's her family history of being on the extreme right. we've already been through this. >> reporter: there's an undertone of defiance and maybe even desperation amongst the front supporters as they chant "we will win." in order for le pen to enter the presidential palace, there will have to be a political surprise of brexit or donald trump proportions. and that's the mantra to which parliamentary candidate julien odoul is clinging. >> ( translated ): because she's the only one who speaks to the french, the only one who speaks to the forgotten ones, all those french who've been abandoned for decades. >> reporter: france's national anthem, written in the 18th century is all about conflict if marine le pen upsets the odds and wins on sunday, france and the european union will face a major upheaval. but the pollsters bel

that the largest group, some 30% of the people who identify themselves as muslim voted for jean-luc melenchonandidate. we don't know what the exact breakdown is now. but it's a good guess that virtually all the people of muslim backgrounds in the second round voted for emmanuel macron. so the question is can he deliver for them? it's not a question of let's saying let's not be afraid of immigrants or the people those background, but can we get them out of the housing projects on the far outskirts of the cities of france, can we give them a future? matt's right. yeah, the unemployment rate is at 25%, but among those young people, the unemployment rate is 40%. they have to be brought in to the system. whether macron can do it, i don't know. but it was clear that le pen was going to try to exclude them completely. >> yeah. those areas that are not too far necessarily, 30 to 40 minutes from where you're standing there like during the bataclan catastrophe, the places which were called, right, defined as no go zones and how will they get help under this new presidency. this is also the hour here at

does feel a better place five years from there is no reason to think that marine le pen and jean—luc melenchonning in europe and france is a decline in relationship with the rest of the world, a sense of no longer being the top dogs at the top table, that is something which will have to get used to. it will be a long process of adjustment of other parts of the world like china and india become more important and richer. it may be a psychological adjustment of the country has to go to. which will take a long period of time, and it may be in five years' time, and it may be in five years' time the country still feels very badly off and unhappy and miserable and nostalgic, in which case the solutions offered by the protectionist, the nationalists, or on the left the people who want to com pletely on the left the people who want to completely overhaul the capitalist system, those messages may still have great appeal. they are owed an enormous result ability under shoulders of emmanuel macron to give signals over the next five years. no one expects things to sell around completely, but at least the

better.much but then melenchon gave no advice to his supporters were to choose. they said weiss and jean-lucnything saying emmanuel macron? to support the gave these very obscureve these very voting it by saying i would never vote for marine le pen, but he would not say he would vote for emmanuel macron, and a lot of people thought he might vote blank or put away piece of paper in the ballot box. this might lead to more higher abstention rate. most of the people who voted for melenchon on the left are not willing to vote for macron, and even if you are willing to vote for marine le pen. if you will, but i think the a few will meditate muscle sailor in the voting booth. >> he very vocally said you have to vote against the national front. >> that is one of the surprising things. right up until recently, a year ago, he was making his fight against marine le pen and the national front. that's what people thought it was extraordinary after the end of the first round he is not say vote for emmanuel macron to defeat marine le pen. it's the only way we can be sure she will not get through. maybe he
