and so outside her campaign ho, ms le pen was on the defensive.ich he considers deeply unfair. he's going to sue over the claims. i've appointed one of the vice presidents of the national front, in this case steve briois, to be the interim president. this is an unwelcome episode. later, on french television, ms le pen emphasised her hard work to purge the party of the anti—semitism that was its trademark under herfather. and her rival, centrist emmanuel macron, visited the site of a nazi massacre on friday. france's wartime past, it seems, is taking centre stage in the race for the presidency. translation: i want, in the context of this campaign, at an important time before the second round, to come here and pay respect to these victims, to theirfamilies, and to an important and sombre page in our history. french voters face a stark choice between a resurgent far—right and a pro—eu former banker, whose political movement is barely a year old. meanwhile, the far—left‘s jean—luc melenchon declined to back either candidate, dismissing it as a contest

ms le pen wants the ‘automatic‘ expulsion of illegal immigrants.ist mosques and housing priority to be given to french nationals. polls predict that the pro—business and pro—eu candidate, emmanuel macron will win the run—off in two weeks. to talk more about this i'm joined by edouard lecerf from ka ntar public. what would marine le pen had to do? she is a rank outsider here. what will she have to do to win? she has to make emmanuel macron more repulsive than he is and she have to become more attractive than she is. when i say attractive, i mean from a political point of view. right now in france there are still a majority of people thinking that the national front is a threat to democracy and that the national front is not ready to be in command and probably emmanuel macron, the opposite, is someone emmanuel macron, the opposite, is someone who is less repulsive. so she has in a way to convince people that they should make a choice that would be between her and him based on that divide. the reason i asked the question that way round, what does she

le pen in run—off". we have been hearing that from one pollster. with an image of the smiling independent candidate, the paper says the only thing that mr macron and msd finally the london business paper, city am. it reports that the euro jumped on sunday after emmanuel macron emerged as the likely leader in the race to become france's next president. at one point, the eurozone's single currency was up nearly 2%, and that's the highest in five months. joining me to discuss today's papers, french journalist agnes poirier. just on that note of the currency surging at the relief of this result, what was the worst case scenario that markets had imagined? i think we were all waiting for the possibility ofjean—luc melenchon versus marine le pen. because their programmes were quite similar. very populistic. so massive public spending, that sort of thing. except the hard left candidate wanted to open borders, and marine le pen wa nted open borders, and marine le pen wanted to close them. but in the economic programme, they were incredibly close. and where there we re incredibly close. and where there were those jazzers, that had affected the market. the righ

ms le pen's anti—globalisation message is going down pretty well in the town. ible for marine le pen, by turning up at factories like this, saying she is the candidate of the factory worker, not the corporation, to try to eat into macron's support? she has nothing to lose. what we have seen since sunday evening and macron arriving, 32 points ahead of marine le pen, he finds it difficult to think he is not already president, and that is quite dangerous. he should work. he went to celebrate his victory on the first round at a paris brasserie with his supporters and people didn't like it so much. jacques chirac went through to the second round and he didn't rejoice, and the element of gravity as is probably still something that the macron team is not grasping. francois hollande, the current president, today reminded macron that it president, today reminded macron thatitis president, today reminded macron that it is not a done deal, that he should keep working. it is really interesting because we were talking about hillary clinton last week and this new book called

in order to quieten marine le pen, layla and others like her will make a simple choice. vote for her opponent, emmanuel macron. mspaign to the paris suburbs where he told his supporters that he aimed to heal the divide in france. translation: france is not the narrow face of hatred that marine le pen presents. i will not let her he the face of france. i will not let her trivialise the national front party, a racist party. she puts at the helm of the party someone who expressed extraordinarily grave opinions. she herself expresses extremely grave opinions. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. facebook says it's stepping up its security to counter efforts by governments and other groups that use the social media network to spread disinformation and manipulate public opinion. during the us presidential election campaign it said fake facebook accounts had been used to spread false news and hacked information for political ends. human rights officials in the philippines have discovered a secret lock—up cell in a police station in the capital, manila. it was hidden behind a bookshelf — 11 peo

leader marine le pen has been attacked from all sides over europe as the eleven presidential candidates went head to head in the second live tv debate. the centrist candidate emmanuel macron said msc warfare". but she was also accused from the right of not being tough enough on france's membership of the eu. our paris correspondent hugh schofield watched the debate and he told me more. we had the five front runners, that is emmanuel macron, francois fillon, marine le pen, of course, and then the two left—wingers, benoit hamon and jean—luc melenchon, who were in the first debate. but then we have the six others, who were in the first debate, but who are frankly fringe candidates who have no chance at all. two trotskyites, a sort of neo—gaullist, and a super—gaullist, who is even more gaullist than he is. a rural affairs candidate, and then a completely fringe candidate to back things like colonising mars and is sort of fiercely against international finance. so none of these candidates has any real chance, but such are the rules of the game, they have to be given their moment to speak. so this time was strictly divided between them, and that did, kind of, kill a of momentum. it me

i'm sorry to tell you, ms le pen, but you trot out lies we've heard for a0 years and which we heard inur hours. it seemed that it was marine le pen who was getting the most flak from the others. using the most flak from the others. using the analogy of the boxing max, the frontrunners are so the analogy of the boxing max, the frontrunners are so far ahead of the others, macron and le pen, theyjust need to keep going around the ring. but the others came into the ring like this guy philippe poutou who is a factory worker from the south of france, a militant anti—capitalist. not even in a shirt and tie, he turned up in his pyjamas! the start landing these punches on fillon who threatened to sue him at one stage! when the police come knocking on my door, i have to respond, saying that blue—collar workers had to respond but you lot don't have too will le pen started to weigh in and she suffered at his hands. his surname, poulou, means kiss. we're going from pyjamas to a high fashion. the first lady of the united states is one of the most well—known and recognised women in the world. but wit

two candidates in france's presidential election, emmanuel macron and marine le pen, also attended the event, which comes after msrlier, our paris correspondent high schofield said marine le pen's move was an attempt to distance herself from her party and show she is capable of stepping up to the challenge if she becomes president. 0n the face of it, it is a dramatic move, but it is entirely symbolic and intended to send out a message to voters from other parties, basically. it's not the first time something like this has happened in french elections. and it really doesn't mean that she is somehow not part of the party — far from it. what she's doing is doing what candidates typically do in between the two rounds of an election in france, which is to send out signals to people who don't necessarily vote for the national front or necessarily like them, and say to them, look, i am now moving, transmogrifying from being a party leader to being a national leader. i'm leaving behind the platform which projected me to where i am now, and i am becoming this figure who is capable of representing all of you out there. tha

ms le pen wants the automatic expulsion of illegal immigrants and she's pushing for the closure of extremisth nationals. let's talk to a strategist at the largest european strategist. one of the most extraordinary statistics i have seen today is that marina penn took over 17,000 communes compared took over 17,000 communes compared to just took over 17,000 communes compared tojust 7000 took over 17,000 communes compared to just 7000 emmanuel macron took. it means that the national front is within french society deeply ingrained, it means that emmanuel macron carried big towns, so there isa macron carried big towns, so there is a sharp division between the electoral. you could also remarked that the eastern france went to marine le pen and the west went to emmanuel macron. there is a sharp division. the boundaries are really striking this time, so the other little, middle talents who went for marine le pen, and the big towns when the emmanuel macron. however, we should not underestimate all overlook these figures because you have to take into account the other boats, and jean—luc melenchon did

warm reception to the fact that it will be mr macron who will be chairing the second round with ms le penconclusively that emmanuel macron will win the second round against his opponent marine le pen. that is important for a brussels perspective because in many respects emmanuel macron is promising stability. after the instability around the brexit vote and so on and so forth, brussels are extending a warm welcome to a man who will not spook the markets and so who will not spook the markets and so on, but also has a positive message about europe and european integration. there is a sense that germany has had the upper hand in the relationship. the fundamental pivotal relationship within the european union with the french, is there a sense that because mr macron is very pro—eu, very pro integration, varied pro the idea of the european union, that he could redress that balance little bit? that is a really interesting question. the franco german relationship is what we could call institutionalised and has been since 1962. there are regular meetings and institutions and policies and discussio

ms. le pen wants to leave the european union altogether and have a referendum about it.ou have the italian banking system that is bust. and you have greece, if you take their public and private debt, well over 5$500 billion, and its 302% debt to gdp ratio. you have too much risk in europe, and i want nothing to do with investing there at present. i told a lot of large financial institutions exactly how i feel about this. >> mark, that's counter to what we hear from so many guests who come on the air and say europe is a great place to be. i would say that is kind of where the herd is headed at this point. >> i agree with you, but the herd is always headed off from another direction from where i'm headed. the reason is the technical analysis, fundamental analysis for european stocks looks interesting. but it's the event-driven horizon that is the carey part. i don't want to be in someplace that has a lot of possible the risk. so i'm avoiding that area of the world. >> we've been talking about the ten-year yield this morning. back up at 2.2. 2.2%, but fell below that yester
