mr. hollande. i think yesterday, votes in favor of mr. macron to the continue.that to i am the candidate of the people and france as you know it, as you love it, it's culture, its unity. of thehe candidate nation that protects our jobs, the security of our citizens, our borders, protects us against unfair competition and the rise of islamic fundamentalism. of course, the french people have been able to see the real macron in this second round. the benevolence has been replaced by a spike in the market. the strategy has been taken over by the socialist party, and the ise smile -- the wry smile grin.replaced by a we've seen the choices you have made in the second round, choices that are cynical. the use of campaign arguments that are shameful and that revealed perhaps the coldness of the business banker bet you never stopped being. i think this period an actual act of clarification was profoundly useful to the french people to decide. >> mr. macron, would you now like to make your statement? >> you have shown you are not the candidate of th

mr. hollande to be a liberal is a bad thing it's something you have to avoid.cron coming from the left and saying liberalism is great. globalis globalization is great. he dares to say that. he dares to express this probably will be the main part of his novelty. >> charlie: what role will his wife play? >> it will be interesting. she's 25 years older. she's 64 and he's 39. we don't know how the wife doesn't have it same role as the first lady here. that was the idea and macron talked about that having status for the first lady. we see what she does but she's very important for him. they've been together forever. he has in effect grandchildren and he's 39 years old but her grandchildren are his grandchildren. she's been a big part in his career. she's there but doesn't have any public role so far so we see if she takes one. we're not so sure. the way in politics is not the same in france as here. >> charlie: he was be an investment banker. a minister of finance but a centrist >> french people in new york, albeit, they're entrepreneurs, they live in new york but t

mr. hollande failed to do that in the last five years.ing into power, 39, when lorenzi became the tellian prime minister, he failed on that. so it's a test for mr. macron. >> corporate news. comcast and charter are gearing up to announce a major partnership. landon dowdy has details. >> a source telling cnbc that comdaft and charter plans to announce a wireless partnership as soon as today. the partnership is aimed at cutting the costs, as well as speeding up into the wireless market. as part of the agreement, neither company will make any deals in the wireless without the consent. the two could make a play for a wireless carrier company. cable companies have been looking for wireless to retaining customers as well as make their bundles more attractive to new customers. take a look at shares. comcast and charter are unchanged. bark to you. >> all right. we'll await official word of that. >>> warren buffett spend the weekend with about 40,000 ever his shareholders at the annual berkshire hathaway meeting. criticizing wells fargo from faili

hollande and the incoming president emmanuel macron. and we will would just hearing their the formal handover of power, which includes mr macron being givendes there. we were seeing francois hollande, who, in some ways has been seen by many political commentators in france as a political failure, seen by many political commentators in france as a politicalfailure, he did not run in this election but macron was his economy minister between the years 201a and 2016, in some ways mr hull's protege and now francois hollande is handing power literally inside the elysee palace. —— mr hollande's protege. as the band and the music begins. and our correspondent hugh schofield joins us from paris. it really is an extraordinary political moment, this, isn't it, for france? this young man, he was not emerged from nowhere, he had been economy minister, setting up his own party only a year ago and 110w his own party only a year ago and now president. yes, and what it makes me reflect on how brilliantly the french education system can be when it sort of six to pick out brilliant individuals and promote them through the ranks because he is, ina them throu

mr holland had plucked mr mata from obscurity to bring him into his government and make him becomingevery time ahead of the election, james reynolds has the today's events. emmanuel macron, the election winner, now prepares to lead his country. this morning in paris, he joined the outgoing president francois hollande at the ceremony to mark ve day. the horror of the second world war convinced old enemies france and germany to form an alliance which then became the basis of the european union. it is a struggling project which the new president promises to revive. emmanuel macron now inherits one of the most powerful positions in europe and all of the symbolism that goes with it. he becomes the youngest french leader since napoleon, his own battles are remembered here. the crowd knows the new leader will face problems of his own. french people hope he will change a lot of things, it might be tough for him but we hope that. translation: it's not going to be easy but i hope he will do some good work. above all, i hope he won't forget the little people. are not sure he's very coherent wit

mr. holland at the end-- ( laughter ) ( applause ). >> it's the end, and i've done it all.ber that time you played the theme from 'rocki' for ud i, "i don't remember anything." it's really shocking and quite upsetting. you look younger. >> you're still beautiful. >> so beautiful! >> so beautiful. >> thank you? >> you glow. >> i sleep in formaldehyde, which is-- >> we live in l.a., so there's a whole thing that goes on there, right? >> are we talking...

mr. hollande who is behind it alln the most obvious way. >> let's get out to claire fournier who has been watching the debate on french television. i'm looking this morning and it says 63% of viewers in a snap poll found that macron was more convincing. what's the verdict from where you are? >> well, yes, you're right. the feeling this morning here is that he appeared more presidential and he stayed remarkably calm considering all the attacks that she launched at him. she called him a puppet of finance, of globalization. she said he was supported by a radical islamist. there was a lot of work, i can tell you, for fact checkers on social media. and emanuel macron replied to her saying she was a liar and using alternate facts, just like donald trump. but the feeling is, yes, she was pretty aggressive. and that he managed to remain calm. it was an out of the ordinary debate. it was the first time that the two were confronted eye to eye. they have never debated just the two of them before. it was also the first time that a far-right candidate was making it to a debate between the two rounds.

mr. hollande had not succeeded at all. guy: let us talk about president draghi. he's going to be looking at this and thinking a big kick in the box, your back on the front foot first -- europe back on the front foot first. are there winners in this process or losers in this process? laurent: that is a very good question. i would say, at first, i do nothing mr. draghi will buy oat's because the risk premium is going to diminish. asian investors are certainly going to buy back oat's, so there will be some inflows going back again toward oat's, and no need from the ecb to support what we have seen recently. but getting out of the qe means getting out of the bunds and oat's purity you are right. there might be some pressure -- oat's. you are right. there might be some pressure. so it meant that it depends on the capacity of mr. macron to have a growth over the potential in the coming years, and the fact that rates globally are not picking up your but then, -- are picking up. but then, i do not think mr. draghi is in our rush. don't forget, there will be the italian e

mr. hollande who is in the driver's seat. mr. macron said yesterday, vote in favor for mr. macron, with a sense of pride in what we've accomplished and the desire of that to continue. so i'm the candidate of the people. i'm the candidate of france as we love it, its culture, its civilization, its unity. i am of the candidate of the nation that protects our jobs, that protects the security of our fellow citizens, our borders, against the rise of islamic fundamentalism. of course the french people have been able to see the real macron, the benevolence has been replaced by spite. the marketing strategy has been taken over by the socialist party. and the smile is being replaced by a grin after the rallies and the rounding of elites. mr. macron has dropped the mask. i think it's useful, we've seen the choices you've made, second round choices that are cynical choices. the use of campaign arguments that are shameful, and that reveal perhaps the coldness of the business banker that you've never stopped being, perhaps. so i think that this period in actual fact, the clarification w

formalities today begin with the official handover from holland. mr used to work here as an economic adviser. after that he will follow up with a procession up the champs—elysses hoping that the weather will be more suspicious. 0nce hoping that the weather will be more suspicious. once the ceremonies are ever, president macron is not the kind of leader who is going to sit on his hands. he has already said he does not expect a honeymoon period and he knows that many of his ideas for change will be hotly contested. for seasoned observers of french politics, the new president is a novelist with all of the advantages and disadvantages that can bring. he wa nts to and disadvantages that can bring. he wants to change the system, can he do it? we have no idea. will the system we can change it? obviously there will be a lot of resistance. there is already. the fact he has so much support from the establishment. basically it is a leap in the dark. today he takes over from the man he used to serve. it is an iron if that is not lost on his opponent on the left a

hugh schofield was discussing whether because, of course, he has been francois hollande's protege and many of his critics, mrust part of the old hollande regime who is going to continue the same policies. 50, who is going to continue the same policies. so, he's goforth, paris correspondent, just talk is what really happens now. how does this inauguration actually take place?m these sort of constitutional ceremonial, there is no actual, i do not think, moment of handing on of power. there is no anointing of the king like there would be in the cathedral in the old days, the moment of the anointing he becomes king. ithink moment of the anointing he becomes king. i think it isjust happening now as we speak. at some point in this hour, the hour that has been on the hour that has yet to come, he becomes president. you could see it as the moment when francois hollande tries away all the moment when the president of the cost youtube council reads out the results of the elections which he is going to do now. maybe that is the moment when it is recorded publicly that he was elected and is now president. it is not know

mr. hollande who should feel isolated. >> that's the divide that you have, you have this globalist worldho believe this interconnected community in the europe and the u.s. and these individual isolationists who want to band together in a team. do you sense that france is leaning in one way or the other? >> well, france seems to be leaning against that. on the one hand what's very disturbing about this campaign, even if macron wins by quite a lot, is how much better marine le pen and the national front will do in this election than that far right party with real roots in neofacism, they'll do better than they ever have before. but i think it's striking also that le pen has talked a lot less about trump as time has gone on, and there does seem to be a backlash against the tru trumpian backlash. you saw it in austria, you saw it in the netherlands and if the polls are right, you're going to see it again tonight. i think macron did something important, he didn't back away from his positions, he aggressively defended them. the challenge for him if he wins is there's a drama between a part of

mr. hollande made with that company. >> i'm going to fight for reinvestment, so that you have -- >> you are not really credible on this, mr. meg ryan -- mr. macron --do you realize that? >> we must push forward. >> i have had a number of victories and a number of failures. >> victories and to protect jobs or victories to protect companies that are buying each other's out -- each other out? >> we have saved lots of companies. advantagenever taken of the distress of the workers. hide in a went to room with trade union representatives. i go see the worker. workers. if you please -- >> that is the big difference between us. we cannot hear ourselves think anymore. opportunities to come back to issues that the french people are concerned about. many french people are resting their frustration with the current tax system. what is you are opinion? savings to cutke taxes made by households and companies. savings, wemake any cannot promise tax cuts. today has a deficit which is not a good thing for us. euros to make 70 billion of savings in order to cut charges paid by companies. reduce the charges m
