so mr macron has a lot to do.ays he's not from the left of right and he has the small matter of parliamentary elections in june and the small matter of parliamentary elections injune and he needs to rally support behind him if he is to push through any or all of the reforms that he wants to do and unite france. there is no point in trying to compete on the french pronunciation front with this woman, tim! alaves i will speak in pidgin english! so you have this man who has won by 65% to 35%. yet he positioned himself as not being of the establishment. for a lot of people, of course he is. this is one ina long people, of course he is. this is one in a long line of remarkable elections that have changed politics across the world. brexit, trump and i'iow across the world. brexit, trump and now macron. the old parties seem to be unable to come up with solutions to france's myriad problems, a socialist was brought down by a corruption scandal, a communist did well in the first round and it came down to two people from ou

mr. macron: it will not be easy every day, i know this.he task will be hard and i will be telling you every single time the truth. but your energy, your boldness again will carry me forward. i will protect you. i will protect you from all kinds of threats. for you, i will fight lies, immobility, inefficiency, in order to improve everyone's life. i will respect every man, every woman in what they believe and what they defend. i will bring together and reconcile, because what i want is the unity of our country, the unity of our people. and in the end, my friends, i will be serving you. i will serve you with humility, with strength. i will serve you in the name of our motto -- liberty, equality, fraternity. i will serve you, remaining faithful to that awareness you have given me. i will serve you as love. -- with love. long live of the republic. long live france. >> we have just been listening to emmanuel macron, france's president-elect, giving a jubilant victory speech in front of the pyramid at the louvre, a historic site chosen for this h

mr. macron. with a sense of pride of what we've accomplished to continue. so i'm the candidate of the people. i'm the candidate of france as we love it. its culture, civilization, its unity. i'm the candidate of the nation that protects our jobs, the security of our fellow citizens, our borders, protect us against unfair international competition and the rise of islamic fundamentalism and of course the french people have been able to say the real macron in this second round. the benevolence has been replaced by spite. the marketing strategy's beenen over by the socialist party. and the rice mile has been replaced by grin after the rallies and the rounding of elites. mr. macron has dropped the mask. we've seen the choices that you've made in the second round, choices that there cynical choices. the use of campaign arguments that there shameful and that reveal perhaps the coldness of the business banker that you've never stopped being perhaps. so i think this actual period of clarification was prof

watching what mr macron does will also be many in the uk. macron mean for brexit negotiations? france is one of the pivotal players in the european union and mr macron will play a key role in upcoming brexit talks. this morning president—elect macron‘s chief economic adviser told the bbc that mr macron would be a hard negotiator — but he wouldn't want to punish britain for its decision to leave the eu. chris morris looks at what kind of negotiating position the new french president is likely to take. so the first thing you need to know about emmanuel macron is that he is a passionate pro—european. he campaigned on an overtly pro—eu platform. is that likely to make him a tough nut to crack when it comes to brexit negotiations? well, yes. but france was always likely to play that role. if you look at some of the things he said on brexit during the campaign, though, the language is pretty striking. in one interview he called brexit a crime and said, "what's going to happen is not taking back control, its servitude." let's have a listen to the m

mr. macron you want to reform labor laws. mr. macron, a few minutes for you. >> the problem with france for 30 years has been the unemployment rate. we have had mass unemployment. we are the only country who hasn't succeeded in putting an end to this high unemployment rate. young youth unemployment is very high. we must give to the small and medium enterprises the possibility of creating more jobs. i want to simplify this. simpleplicity to create the rights to making mistakes. this is a reform i will introduce this summer. when the government administration controls, it must not sanction. it must support and explain they are the main victims of complexity and i want to get rid of self-employed and independent workers the certain contributions. i want the labor law not to be the same determined by a law which is too ridged. i want a labor law that can revert to agreements at the corporate level or at branch level. a company that can negotiate a majority agreements with the representatives of the employees to reorganize will be in a

mr. macron, your turn to speak. you're not questioning that 35-hour work week. >> with extraordinary as you are not answering the question but always talking about the past. i'm listening to you. you talked about everything and about nothing. answered that. i'm answering the question, which is -- and a want to know, what are small and medium enterprises asking for? they want more visibility. whatever their size -- i'm not only talking about large groups. large groups have managed competitiveness really well. the medium size very small to very large businesses -- they want more adaptation to economic reality. the business in the construction sector, which has two employees, does not have the same experience as a digital start up or an automotive company which has 500 employees, so we must give them the possibility of negotiating a majority agreement at corporate level. yards save jobs by negotiating an agreement -- >> [inaudible] italians. >> i did not sell the shipbuilding yard. they almost disappeared two years ago

here mr macron appeared standing side—by—side with the outgoing president. ary moment, the outgoing president francois hollande, the man who hand—picked emmanuel macron as a young man, brought him into his party, supplanted by mr macron now, gave him a pat on the back. james reynolds reports on all of the day'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's a struggling project which the new president promises to revive. emmanuel macron now inherits one of the most powerful positions europe and all of the symbolism that goes with it. he becomes the youngest french leader since napoleon whose own battles are remembered here. the crowd knows that the new leader will face problems of his own. french people hope that he will change a lot of things, maybe it will be tough for hi

after all, mr macron took 66% of the vote.eople voted for him, but 11 million people voted for the far right candidate, marine le pen. when you drill into the figures you discover there were also 16 million other registered voters that either abstained or went to the polling stations and left a blank or spoilt vote. when you do the sums he actually took just over 43% of 48 million registered voters. so, if he doesn't succeed, improve the french economy, kept unemployment down, is the window still open that a third of french voters voted for marine le pen, is the windowsill ( other nationalist populist to make the running and succeed where marine le pen field? yes, absolutely. don't forget jean—luc melenchon, who did well in the first round boat. nearly 50% of the first 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 th

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 wa

they have mr macron ahead.in this round with the 4.8 her father got back in 2002, it does show how the party is performing over the long—term? the party is performing over the long-term? that is their point. they area long-term? that is their point. they are a movement which measures their progress in decades, not single elections. they got up to 18% in 2002, now they are up to the mid—30s. it is not as much as they would have wanted this time around, but they would say look at the long—term trajectory. look at how they are increasing their vote. they would also be pleased by the amount of legitimacy they have had. for yea rs of legitimacy they have had. for years theirs was a fringe movement. a lot of parts of france boycotted them, ignored them. with nearly 35% of the vote now they will say they can no longer be ignored. the question is whether marine le pen can turn to her own supporters and say we are one stop away from winning the next election. it is ha rd winning the next election. it is hard that someon

mr. macron is about to take?o you as a business lobby organization, as french business, nature of these people are included? otherwise the result in 2022 could be different. pierre: the major problem we have to solve is make sure there's no discrepancy between paris on one side and the territories, the regions am aware there's no jobs, no hope things like that. the reforms will have to take that into account. i know he knows. that means we have to put industry, manufacturing power, entrepreneur, in all regions of france. this is one most important thing that is linked to competitiveness. guy: can this happen fast enough? destruction.ive economies can't stand still. the problem is that with the political timeline and the business and economic timeline may be a little different, that creative destruction needs to ensure that those people get back into employment, the people that have been left behind are no longer left behind. five years is not very long. pierre: we have to start. i think macron can push this renew

at night mr macron defeated opponent marine le pen danced away her defeat. ow the main opposition force in france, she will prepare for the next election in five years' time. emmanuel macron will know that he has little time to waste. he's promised to set the direction of both his country and the wider european union. he takes office on sunday. emmanuel macron has built an extraordinarily successful political movement in a very short time but what about the challenges ahead? with me now is my. dark, paris correspondent for the financial times. what for you does mr macron have to focus on now? that minute 3-1 have to focus on now? that minute 3—1 last night, all the people started talking about the legislative elections next month. he needs to win a majority in order to push through his agenda otherwise he may have to cohabit with another party and risks been pulled into a mire of deals and shenanigans even before he has started. you say he needs to win a majority, he has precisely zero mps in parliament. this extraordinary. can he do that in the space of a fe

do we know what mr macron feels about the sanctions?hat a tough stand is required against russia for its involvement in ukraine and syria full dog what the russian president will try to do is suggest that the world political scene is changing. —— syria. . lets be more pragmatic and accept that russia is a global player and it has its terms of engagement. he is going to be in france, the reason he is there because of an exhibition to do with peter the great. a lot of symbolism. can you explain what that is? peter the great was the one who brought european modernisation to russia, the glory to russia. it was about engagement and opening up to the west and europe. the russian leader also hopes his legacy will be one of bringing that glory, to be one of bringing that glory, to be one of bringing that glory, to be one of the chosen global powers in the world and expanding russia's borders by annex in crimea... with peter the great and mr macron... we must leave it there. thank you so much. we are now entering the third day of disruption, eve

mr macron has pulled off his mask. are shameful and reveal a cold mind ofthe banker you have always been. and we'll hear from the legendary us conservative shockjock glenn beck. why does he now regret laying the ground for donald trump's presidency?

mr. macron, or has it already? >> there is quite a remarkable pull that came out, which is 34% of the french only want mr. macron to have a majority. so, yes, i think the support is not huge. nevertheless, we need to see how the negotiations into the general election give up in the coming weeks, and whether he can eventually have a majority. tom: guy, this is what you and i river seine.of the ,his is a really important 30% wanting a majority. guy: he might not have a majority, but a working majority. he might be able to function as a president with a prime minister that can deliver on policy. we have the dead out from the have data out from the bank of france. risingon, yeah, it's not that fast, but it's beginning to track up a little bit, despite what is happening in commodities. this feels like an incredibly benign environment, everything is rolling forward in the way he had hoped it would. how vulnerable are we to upsets here? >> as i said, i think the economy is doing well. we have not had it so good and europe

can we talk about the challenges ahead for mr macron?cause he will have to create a government pretty much from scratch. his on marsh movement is a year old, and he doesn't have much experience. so he will have to create a fairly complex government, with a mix of right and left, and who we will need a prime minister who can hold that together. he has someone in mind, but he is going to have to do well in next month's elections. en marche is to knew at the moment, that they are fielding candidates to try to get a strong coalition, is not a majority. thank you. and underlining the challenges ahead, just six days to go before mr macron is installed officially at the elysee palace as president. that's all from us. in the meantime, back to george. police in liverpool say a two—year—old girl who was attacked by dogs has had surgery for "extensive injuries to her head and body". the little girl was at her aunt's house when the dogs got into the back garden. officers have arrested a man and seized 11 dogs from a nearby house — as our corresponde

mr. macron?or the moment, the relationship between our two countries is excellent for the simple reason is that once more or soldiers are fighting together side by side against international terrorism, in africa or in lebanon against i.s.i.s. when i met mr. mattis he immediately told me the french are our best allies, and i think that is the most important. >> woodruff: finally, mr. ambassador, mr. macron had relatively little during the campaign to say about foreign policy, about his view of the world. what is is known about that? how does he see france's role? >> first, i think that is quite important in our times of universal skepticism, he wants in a sense to move forward into europe integration. so his first visit will be berlin where he will meet chancellor merkel, and i am quite sure they are going to speak about the next steps in our european endeavor. >> woodruff: and a visit to the u.s.? >> actually, he will meet president trump o at the n.a.t.. summit on may 25th in a few weeks because

mr. macron, you have more than two minutes. you each get two minutes without interrupting each other to wrap up. this was randomized. mr. let mrs. le pen, you will start. >> we say no to what you are. your tactic is to dirty the reputation of your adversary and you lie. you have no project for the country. you do not care about the country. your project is to say to the french people that that person is a horrible person. he is dirty. falsification and lying. your project aims at exploiting lying and fear. that is what norse your father for decades and the extreme right and has made you what you are. that is why i do not want that for my country. my country is worth much more than that. the friends i want will not be divided. we must get out of a system that has coproduced. you are the coproduct of the system that you criticized. you are a parasite. you live off of it. the inefficiencies of the policies of the left and right, the ineffectiveness of the policies of the left and right nationalersh is the front. i can see the anger

mep frustrated by previous presidents‘ broken promises to reform, has thrown her support behind mr macronhe gains enough assembly members to get his way, can a president macron deliver and move france forward, when the minister macron he was just months ago could not? sylvie goulard, welcome to hardtalk. joining us from paris today for this interview. it's an important time for your country, one of the most important of recent years. let me begin with the question of a mandate. does macron see his victory, do you believe, as a mandate to change france? yes, of course he does. he created this movement, and took the risk to leave the government because he is absolutely convinced, and so am i, that our country desperately needs reforms, and has also many assets to be in a better situation, to have more prosperity and more influence in europe, in the world. he won 20 million votes in the second round last sunday, but how much of that was actually a positive vote for him and his vision for france? and how much of it was to simply stop marine le pen? well, in any case, we stopped marine le pen,

president trump says that he too looks forward to working with mr macron. adimir putin calls on france's new leader to bridge the divide between moscow and paris. angela merkel says this is a victory for a strong and united europe. translation: immanuel macron carries the hopes of millions of french people and many people in germany and the whole of europe. he ran a courageous pro—european campaign and stands for openness to the world. he stands for openness to the world. he stands firmly behind a social market economy and we know germany and france are bound by fate. in the hours after the polls closed, in between those many telephone calls with world leaders, emmanuel macron celebrated with his supporters. translation: what we have done for so translation: what we have done for so many months, there is no comparison. there is no equivalence to that. everybody was saying to us that it was impossible. but they did not know anything about france!- night, mr macron‘s defeated opponent marine le pen danced away her defeat. she insists she is now the main opposi

after brexit, mr macron has vowed to tear up brexit, mr macron has vowed to tear up an agreement wheref migrants making their way to dover each year. he has talked about tempting banks and businesses from the city of london this side of the channel. but domestic discontent, not press kit, will be his main focus. it is what drew one in three voters to marine le pen, his far right rival —— not brexit. she is popular here in the pool halls of calais where unemployed youngsters while frustrated days away. in struggling towns like this, there is little faith in elite educated metropolitans faith in elite educated metropolita ns emmanuel macron. faith in elite educated metropolitans emmanuel macron. young people vote for marine le pen because they can't find anyjobs. the unemployment rate is sky—high here in calais unfortunately. translation: there are no jobs and too many migrants. he said almost 60% of calais thudded marine le pen and maybe next time the whole country will be ready. —— voted for marine le pen. that evening in paris there were small but demonstrations against emmanuel macro

but the task in front of mr macron is huge.ral is to honour his pledge to transform france. translation: all labour laws will be liberalised, companies will be supported. innovation and creativity will be at the heart of my programme. the french feel left behind by globalisation and will be better protected. to achieve that, mr macron needs a majority in parliament, but his new party has no mps and elections are infour party has no mps and elections are in four weeks' time. emmanuel macron has promised this moment will mark a decisive break from the past for france, a moment of national renewal where all his predecessors have promised reform and failed to deliver. he will need more than useful to optimism and energy to succeed. what mr macron hopes he can make it a force at the heart of the eu, say those who know him. translation: he will relaunch the eu. if the british were still members, they would be part of this, but we will do this without them. it is on the basis that countries who wa nt to is on the basis that countries

mr. macron? >> thank you. i was not expecting anything from this i want to say you are us of nothe real air only a name, a political party, a whole system that has prospered on the anger of the french for so many years. i'm not going to repeat that you claim this heritage because you have been promoting it since you took over the control of this party. the le had for 30 years pens. you will continue as you do today after day. the question our citizens have to answer today is do they want the spirit of defeatism that you promote because you promote the tv doesn't. you explain that globalization is too tough. europe is too tough. so we're going to withdraw. get out of the euro. at the walls up. that is the spirit of defeatism. countries are facing this war. you say, no, we're going to withdraw. withdraw the borders. as if that will solve the problem in the face of defeatism. i am defeating the spirit of french conquest. france has already succeeded because her languages spoken on all of the continents of the wor

" now the question is, "what happens next? " that's what politicians, pundits and all other american has been wondering after the republicans got their health bill past the house of representatives. next, it will come under scrutiny in the senate, and the white house has already said it's expecting challenges. i feel like there will be some changes, that's part of the process, the legislative process, we fully anticipate that to play out but we expect the big piece of this is the fact that 0bamacare is simply unsustainable. democrats know that, republicans know that, the american people know that, we have to have changed, that's what we're going to get and we fully anticipate that to take place. 0ur correspondent laura bicker has been following the story from washington. sarah huckabee sanders is right, changes are part of the legislative process. but i don't think anybody was expecting just so soo

if you think back a couple of weeks to the first round, mr macron was the first choice for less than so he knows he has a lot of work to do. we have been underlining all day why this result is notjust important for france, but the european union. it is facing many challenges, not least the brexit process coming up. to what extent will the government of the uk be wanting to talk to him carefully in the months ahead? they will want to talk to him, he will have a big say because he is a com plete have a big say because he is a complete europhile and wants closer cooperation with the european countries and the eu. he said some tough things about brexit, so it remains to be seen if he follows through on them. he really wants to build up the economy of france in that way. so theresa may will want to talk to him very soon. lucy williams, thank you very much. we'll have more from paris a little later and we'll be looking at the campaign promises made by mr macron and asking what he's likely to prioritise when he takes office in a few weeks' time. but now it's back to mishal in london. in ele

mr. macron's team that russian agents tried repeatedly to hack into their accounts. mr. macron defended the banning of 2 russian media outlets from covering his campaign, describing them as agents of propaganda. this choice of venue and the inauguration of a new exhibition on 300 years of franco-russian ties was meant to highlight the long relationship between the two countries, but more recent events have made this a stiff and awkward meeting, and it showed. lucy williamson, bbc news, versailles. laura: against that backdrop, senator john mccain called vladimir putin the greatest threat to global security. in his words, more so than isis. he is not the only one speaking frankly. german chancellor angela merkel is doubling down on her tough talk about the trump administration. today she said it is right to not gloss over differences with the u.s., after saying earlier that europe can no longer completely rely on its allies. chancellor merkel: we europeans must really take our fate into our own hands. of course in friendship with the united states of america and with great
