Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker.

:00:22.:00:24.

Now, tonight's guests have something in common.

:00:25.:00:26.

It's Europe's big test. edition of One Hundred Days.

:00:27.:00:35.

France prepares to go to the polls in the first

:00:36.:00:37.

Yes good evening from Paris, according to the polls one in four

:00:38.:00:41.

France prepares to go to the polls in the first

:00:42.:00:45.

Yes good evening from Paris, according to the polls one in four

:00:46.:00:49.

French voters still undecided with three days to go.

:00:50.:00:51.

Those polls couldn't be tighter ahead of Sunday's vote,

:00:52.:00:53.

tonight all 11 Presidential candidates will be making

:00:54.:00:55.

In just over half an hour, they will be taking to the stage

:00:56.:00:59.

for the last televised forum before the voters decide on Sunday.

:01:00.:01:02.

Course France isn't the only country with election fever, in the UK

:01:03.:01:05.

the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has laid out his case ahead of

:01:06.:01:08.

it is the establishment of verses of the people. It is our historic duty

:01:09.:01:12.

to make sure the people prevail. Also, Fox News parts ways

:01:13.:01:13.

with Bill O'Reilly after allegations Was the split because

:01:14.:01:15.

of money or morals? Rupert Murdoch wants

:01:16.:01:18.

to expand his media empire and the O'Reilly scandal risked

:01:19.:01:20.

getting in the way. And there are few things as iconic

:01:21.:01:22.

in America as a Harley Davidson. It turns out the famous Wisconsin

:01:23.:01:26.

bike can teach us a lot Hello and welcome to One Hundred

:01:27.:01:28.

Days, I'm Katty Kay in Washington, US politics has dominated

:01:29.:01:41.

headlines since we began the era of Donald Trump,

:01:42.:01:44.

but now there's another election This weekend is the first

:01:45.:01:47.

round of the French election and the latest polls suggest it's

:01:48.:01:52.

a tight race. In the next hour, French television

:01:53.:01:55.

will start grilling the candidates, there are 11 of them in total,

:01:56.:01:57.

but there are five in particular Each contender will get just fifteen

:01:58.:02:00.

minutes to convince French voters they should be in the second

:02:01.:02:08.

round run off. A quarter of those who plan

:02:09.:02:10.

to vote say they may still change their minds

:02:11.:02:16.

on who they will plump The big question of course

:02:17.:02:19.

is whether the populist trend we have seen in Britain

:02:20.:02:28.

and in the United States The histories of France and America

:02:29.:02:45.

have often followed a similar path. The American Revolution that ended

:02:46.:02:50.

in 1783 was quickly followed by the French Revolution of 1789. The

:02:51.:02:54.

question is whether history is about to repeat itself this coming

:02:55.:03:01.

fortnight. There are obvious similarities between Donald Trump

:03:02.:03:06.

and Marine Le Pen. Nationalism, populism, protectionism, support for

:03:07.:03:09.

Brexit and hatred of the mainstream media. Both are cast by the people

:03:10.:03:14.

as revolutionaries in the battle against the establishment. There are

:03:15.:03:23.

many things besides Marine Le Pen that we regard as could essentially

:03:24.:03:27.

French. The food, the fine wines, the smell of burnt rubber in the

:03:28.:03:32.

Paris Metro. Equally distinctive is the French style of thinking. The

:03:33.:03:39.

programme of Mr Melenchon goes a long way to changing capitalism. I

:03:40.:03:45.

am for Macron. I wouldn't vote for Marine Le Pen. France has become

:03:46.:03:51.

increasingly inward looking. Far from the high-fashion critiques of

:03:52.:03:55.

the left bank, there is no chronic unemployment. It is worst in the

:03:56.:03:59.

city suburbs amongst the young and ethnic minorities. There is slow

:04:00.:04:03.

growth and there is death. Amidst the doubt, the feeling that French

:04:04.:04:08.

culture is itself in crisis. Since Charles de Gaulle founded the fifth

:04:09.:04:12.

Republic in 1958, the French political system has been dominated

:04:13.:04:16.

by the two party system. Now the Socialists and the Republicans.

:04:17.:04:21.

Three of the four main candidates, Le Pen, Melenchon and Macron are

:04:22.:04:25.

considered outsiders and it is quite possible that this second run will

:04:26.:04:29.

pit the fight back against the far left. Imagine the consequences of

:04:30.:04:33.

that not only for France, but for Europe. Traditionally, the French

:04:34.:04:39.

use the first round of the presidential election to vote for

:04:40.:04:42.

the politician they want. The second round to vote for the politician

:04:43.:04:49.

they fear. The odds are still stacked against Marine the end, but

:04:50.:04:52.

to predict the outcome this weekend would be foolhardy in the extreme,

:04:53.:04:56.

given how wrong we all work over Brexit and Trump.

:04:57.:05:00.

With me now is Pierre Lellouche, former Europe Minister for France

:05:01.:05:02.

and member of parliament for The Republican Party.

:05:03.:05:07.

You have just come from a rally. You wrote the terror legislation here in

:05:08.:05:15.

France, which we will talk about in a second. A lot of people will be

:05:16.:05:18.

confused in the United States in Britain, how is Francois Fillon held

:05:19.:05:25.

on question facing the weight of allegations that he did and to be

:05:26.:05:28.

within a couple of points at the top of the polls, it probably couldn't

:05:29.:05:31.

happen in any other country, could it? Probably not. He has shown

:05:32.:05:38.

extraordinary resilience and, at the same time, the schedule of the legal

:05:39.:05:45.

procedure was such that it made it just impossible for the right to

:05:46.:05:52.

have another candidate in effect. So, you still have the campaign from

:05:53.:05:55.

half of the French people. That is one of the explanation will stop had

:05:56.:06:01.

this happened much earlier, it would probably be different. We were

:06:02.:06:09.

caught in a binder here. There was no way to have another candidate at

:06:10.:06:19.

that point. The right-wing voters do want to change the system in France.

:06:20.:06:25.

We have just had five years of Francois Hollande with a disastrous

:06:26.:06:29.

impact on the economy and on unemployment. We have 1.2 million

:06:30.:06:34.

more unemployment at the end of this five years and an enormous amount of

:06:35.:06:38.

deficit and new taxes. A lot of people here want a change. All the

:06:39.:06:43.

candidates simply agreed that the system is broken. What happens if,

:06:44.:06:51.

come Sunday evening, we are talking about a second round with Marine Le

:06:52.:06:56.

Pen and Jean-Luc Melenchon of the hard left? What happens to France

:06:57.:07:01.

then? Probably some kind of a revolution. We love revolution. The

:07:02.:07:09.

country would be split into. Nobody even knows what would happen then.

:07:10.:07:17.

In this particular case, a number of things will happen. One is Europe is

:07:18.:07:21.

dead. Second, interest rates will shoot up, making it tragic for the

:07:22.:07:29.

French debt. We have a debt now of 100% of GDP and most of that debt is

:07:30.:07:33.

owned by foreigners. That means if the interest rates go up, we will

:07:34.:07:38.

have a huge problem. Just to pay salaries. The crisis would be

:07:39.:07:44.

immediate and the other half of the country will disagree, so if that

:07:45.:07:50.

happened, we would enter a period of incredible instability. That is why

:07:51.:07:58.

I believe that at the last moment, reasonable probably prevail. The

:07:59.:08:03.

open they will say this is the man with experience, he can lead France.

:08:04.:08:08.

One thing is sure, after Brexit and after Trump, the fact that two of

:08:09.:08:15.

the key candidates are outside the system and want to go out of Europe

:08:16.:08:21.

is already some kind of a victory for Brexit and Trump is, because if

:08:22.:08:27.

the ad of Le Pen and Melenchon, it is nearly half of the vote. It is 23

:08:28.:08:36.

plus 19 or something like that. It is about 40%, 42%. Leaving Fillon

:08:37.:08:42.

and Macron, who are pro-European ad about this level. It is a referendum

:08:43.:08:49.

fought against Europe way. If if, by any chance we are in a situation

:08:50.:08:52.

where the two extremists, right and left extremists are defined the

:08:53.:08:57.

contenders, it would be a massive crisis for Europe and, probably, a

:08:58.:09:07.

moment of historical instability in the country. We are out of time. One

:09:08.:09:16.

last thing, it is not the most probable option. I do not think it

:09:17.:09:20.

is the most probable option. Even though the collection is unreadable

:09:21.:09:24.

at the moment. If you speak to any poster, they do not know. Thank you

:09:25.:09:33.

for coming. All of these candidates are campaigning. Each has come from

:09:34.:09:37.

a rally, they are going to rallies. Marine Le Pen was in Marseille.

:09:38.:09:43.

Let's hear what she had to say. We have to protect the unity of our

:09:44.:09:48.

people. We have to protect them, how to do that if we are in permanent

:09:49.:09:52.

posterity? I want to protect the people I am part of, the people who

:09:53.:09:56.

have seen he go and seen my children grow and he will seek my children.

:09:57.:10:06.

Children grow. We just heard the view from the centre-right. Let's

:10:07.:10:08.

get the view from the socialist camp.

:10:09.:10:09.

With me is the Socialist politician Helene Conway-Mouret,

:10:10.:10:11.

You were at the Senator for the expatriates abroad. I still am.

:10:12.:10:26.

Hamon has just not cut off the ground in this campaign. He is

:10:27.:10:33.

nowhere. Yes, unfortunately, after the primary which he won outright

:10:34.:10:37.

and had a very good score, he was unable to launch a campaign

:10:38.:10:42.

immediately stop I think it was about a month where he spent time

:10:43.:10:47.

talking to his opponent on the left, Jean-Luc Melenchon, and to the

:10:48.:10:52.

Greens. His idea was to have a big alliance on the left and then go

:10:53.:10:57.

forward, except the wasted time. During that time Melenchon started

:10:58.:11:01.

getting some of the votes and Macron was also campaigning. Hamon is the

:11:02.:11:14.

expression of the time that has been taken off on the left and right.

:11:15.:11:19.

Even the campaign is good, he is asking the right questions and so on

:11:20.:11:22.

and has a good programme, the French are not into the deep debate on

:11:23.:11:26.

programmes, on whatever is being offered. We are talking about

:11:27.:11:32.

candidates, the personalities and so on. It is a funny kind of campaign.

:11:33.:11:38.

You are still with Mr Hamon, but there are a number of your fellow

:11:39.:11:42.

senators and fellow socialist who alerted tiptoeing over to the Macron

:11:43.:11:45.

side, is that where you will be going in the second round? We will

:11:46.:11:50.

have the same. My adversary in politics is the National front. I am

:11:51.:11:57.

against everything they stand for. The economic programme is absolutely

:11:58.:12:02.

ridiculous as detrimental to France. The against Europe. I will fight the

:12:03.:12:14.

extreme right and... Is either wandered off to Mr Macron's side,

:12:15.:12:19.

they just say this is the continuity candidate, this is really the

:12:20.:12:24.

candidate of Mr Fernandes? It is not. Nobody forces me to be part of

:12:25.:12:28.

the party. I will be part of it for as long as I am comfortable. Mr

:12:29.:12:34.

Macron has greeted a new Centre for he has described himself as neither

:12:35.:12:37.

right nor left. He wants to gather people who are on the centre, but

:12:38.:12:43.

the centre is a void. Maybe it has to be defined that way. Maybe it is

:12:44.:12:47.

something for the future. At the moment, it is not a clear ideology

:12:48.:12:54.

with the purpose, if you like, for the type of society that we want to

:12:55.:12:59.

live in and I think Hamon has been defining that. He has been talking

:13:00.:13:04.

about ecology, talking about the place of work within our lives and

:13:05.:13:08.

so on. He has asked the right questions. I am sure Mr Macron has

:13:09.:13:12.

done that. The question you are asking is in the second round, if it

:13:13.:13:17.

is against Marine Le Pen, of course I will vote for Mr Macron because

:13:18.:13:21.

from a social point of view, he is most compatible with me and

:13:22.:13:26.

certainly not Madame Le Pen. Good to get your thoughts. A big day for the

:13:27.:13:31.

expatriates. There are 1 million voters in the UK. They will go to

:13:32.:13:35.

the polls on Sunday and we will be watching what they do very closely.

:13:36.:13:42.

I love the tour of Paris. I am jealous. It looks like a fantastic

:13:43.:13:47.

evening. I can't imagine anyone will watch that long debate. Then you

:13:48.:13:51.

were huge pool of everybody living in Paris, have you found there is

:13:52.:13:55.

much excitement for Emmanuelle Macron. It seems we are living in a

:13:56.:13:59.

time when people want a bit of excitement about the candidate. Are

:14:00.:14:05.

you hearing about Macron? There are two things surprisingly today while

:14:06.:14:08.

I wandered around the left bank am one was that I spoke to be for the

:14:09.:14:13.

full knowledge, the taxi drivers. I have two or three taxis around town

:14:14.:14:17.

and all of them said they cannot believe Macron is so high in the

:14:18.:14:21.

polls. They say he is not really the outside candidate, he is the former

:14:22.:14:26.

economy ministry, he is a Rothschild banker. He is part of the

:14:27.:14:30.

establishment and he is very much Francois Hollande's candidate. The

:14:31.:14:35.

media have jumped on his bandwagon. He is a smart guy, he talks very

:14:36.:14:39.

well and he is up there I in the polls with a good chance to get

:14:40.:14:42.

through. The other thing which surprised me, and maybe that is

:14:43.:14:46.

because those on the left bank, is just how many people are talking

:14:47.:14:50.

about Melenchon and how he can defeat capitalism. It is a strange

:14:51.:14:54.

thing for British people and Americans to listen to, this idea

:14:55.:14:58.

that capitalism is a bad thing. Among many French people, they still

:14:59.:15:02.

think back to the banking crisis and what happened in 2007 and there is a

:15:03.:15:08.

suspicion about finance in this country. He talked to a lot of

:15:09.:15:11.

Marine Le Pen voters, a lot of Melenchon footers and they will say

:15:12.:15:14.

we are voting for them because we want to put down capitalism. After

:15:15.:15:21.

Brexit and the trump election here, all bets are off in terms of making

:15:22.:15:25.

predictions. We are living in a very interesting and unpredictable

:15:26.:15:29.

moment. The more from Paris in a moment.

:15:30.:15:30.

In the UK, the opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has

:15:31.:15:33.

made his first major campaign speech today, ahead of June's

:15:34.:15:36.

He says he wants to 'overturn the rigged system' by putting power

:15:37.:15:40.

and wealth back in the hands of 'the people', painting himself

:15:41.:15:42.

We don't accept that the British people just have to take what they

:15:43.:15:57.

are given, but they do not deserve better. In a sense, the

:15:58.:16:00.

establishment and their followers in the media are quite right, I do not

:16:01.:16:06.

play by their rules. And, if delivered -- Labour government is

:16:07.:16:09.

elected, we will not play by their rules either.

:16:10.:16:14.

What really strikes me as interesting about that, I have not

:16:15.:16:19.

been fully chewed into the UK election today, but listening to

:16:20.:16:23.

Jeremy Corbyn, I hear echoes of what I am hearing here in France and I

:16:24.:16:27.

think politicians who are under the cosh and under pressure are starting

:16:28.:16:31.

to steal ideas from the Donald Trump campaign. We heard Jeremy Corbyn

:16:32.:16:35.

talk about the news and how he is against the system and the

:16:36.:16:39.

establishment. Francois Fillon went into Le Monde newspaper and he was

:16:40.:16:45.

due to go with a sit down interview and he walked out of that interview.

:16:46.:16:50.

He said to them as a rock god, he said it is not the media that

:16:51.:16:56.

decides the questions. Imagine that. Potentially the next president of

:16:57.:16:58.

France Secci does not want to live in a country with the press are able

:16:59.:17:02.

to ask whatever questions they want. It is quite extraordinary. The media

:17:03.:17:09.

bashing, the theory of the fake media. Nigel Farage has said he is

:17:10.:17:15.

not going to run. He has decided that your times is not a chance. He

:17:16.:17:20.

has lost seven times, so he has decided he will not run again this

:17:21.:17:21.

time. We broke the news that Bill O'Reilly

:17:22.:17:29.

was being cut loose by 20th Century Fox. His departure marks a blow to

:17:30.:17:34.

the Conservative movement in America. Mr O'Reilly calls the

:17:35.:17:39.

charges against him by at least five women unfounded, but his employers

:17:40.:17:42.

have decided his huge ratings success does not justify the

:17:43.:17:43.

scandal. We have a contest on Bill O'Reilly

:17:44.:17:52.

.com. Guess where Bill O'Reilly is common. Except Bill O'Reilly will

:17:53.:17:58.

not be coming back to Fox News where he was the biggest star for decades.

:17:59.:18:03.

Five women have come forward with claims of sexual harassment and the

:18:04.:18:07.

revelation the settled out of court by Bill O'Reilly, and Fox News ?10

:18:08.:18:08.

million. Earlier this week, one former

:18:09.:18:10.

colleague said the host regularly made passes at her when no one

:18:11.:18:12.

was watching and described When major sponsors started

:18:13.:18:15.

to pull their adverts, his position weakened further,

:18:16.:18:18.

and now the parent company, 21st Century Fox, has

:18:19.:18:20.

confirmed he's been fired. We are so happy he's gone and he's

:18:21.:18:26.

no longer able going to be able to spit all of his vile comments

:18:27.:18:30.

and everything that comes out of his mouth that's disparaging not

:18:31.:18:33.

only to women but specifically to black women and black

:18:34.:18:36.

folks all over the world. Last July, the boss of Fox News,

:18:37.:18:39.

Roger Ailes, resigned over allegations that he had sexually

:18:40.:18:41.

harassed female employees. Now the acting CEO, Rupert Murdoch,

:18:42.:18:43.

has made an attempt to usher in a new era at the channel

:18:44.:18:46.

by issuing an internal memo, also signed by his sons,

:18:47.:18:54.

saying that the staff are committed to fostering a work environment

:18:55.:18:56.

built on trust and respect, and this comes at a delicate time,

:18:57.:19:00.

with 21st Century Fox trying to buy the remaining 61%

:19:01.:19:03.

of Sky TV in the UK. Bill O'Reilly, who found out he'd

:19:04.:19:11.

lost his job on the same day he met the Pope,

:19:12.:19:14.

says that it's tremendously disheartening to leave Fox due

:19:15.:19:16.

to completely unfounded claims, but all across America

:19:17.:19:20.

he is the main talking point on exactly the type of show

:19:21.:19:24.

he used to host. Let's speak now to the media

:19:25.:19:26.

analyst Claire Enders, He has been a very significant

:19:27.:19:55.

revenue spinner for Fox News for a very long time. Responsible by all

:19:56.:20:00.

accounts for up to half $1 billion of advertising every single year. He

:20:01.:20:05.

has been very significant and the major opinion programmes on Fox

:20:06.:20:16.

News, in particular his, have been extraordinarily pro-Donald Trump.

:20:17.:20:23.

You could say that Rupert Murdoch graded Fox News in 1986 and that

:20:24.:20:29.

network created President trump. You think there was any morality in the

:20:30.:20:33.

Fox News decision to listen to what was it really all about money? Was

:20:34.:20:36.

it the younger Murdoch saying we do not want a news organisation with

:20:37.:20:41.

this cloud hanging over? I am certain that James Murdoch would

:20:42.:20:45.

have been angry about the accusations of sexual harassment.

:20:46.:20:52.

Last summer when Roger Ailes was on hold, it happened very quickly

:20:53.:20:55.

again. He appointed external counsel within a matter of days and he took

:20:56.:20:59.

action very fast against the founder of the network. As Sir Alex Ferguson

:21:00.:21:05.

once said, no player is bigger than the team and James Murdoch is making

:21:06.:21:09.

absolutely sure that the level of corporate governance standards at

:21:10.:21:14.

21st-century Fox is much higher than it has been and he is particularly

:21:15.:21:19.

vulnerable at this time because, of course, in 2012, of, found he had

:21:20.:21:23.

not behave with the highest standards of corporate governance

:21:24.:21:28.

and he is actually being investigated as we speak by off, and

:21:29.:21:33.

three separate crimes, but one of them is the fit and proper test. It

:21:34.:21:37.

is extraordinary and wooden Phrygians murder to succeed in

:21:38.:21:40.

acquiring Skype because, effectively, it is a second chance

to Donald Trump on day 91 in office that Christine Lagarde says that

strong growth is returning Our economics editor,

:22:09.:22:11.

Kamal Ahmed, has this report. Meet Matt Levatich -

the man who runs, and rides, The all-American company that

exports around the world. If things are going well

:22:21.:22:24.

for businesses like this, then that is a signal

:22:25.:22:28.

that the global economy is set fair. I asked Mr Levatich if the economy

:22:29.:22:31.

is indeed looking up. When people feel more confident,

:22:32.:22:36.

then they're willing to make, if you will, financial risks

:22:37.:22:41.

of investing in something, improving their home,

:22:42.:22:44.

buying a motorcycle. When they feel really uncertain,

:22:45.:22:47.

they pull back and they wait. And so the election and so forth has

helped people feel more optimism. Running more smoothly

at Harley, and for the US. The official IMF forecasts have

:22:59.:23:02.

certainly made for better reading, although they have

been wrong before. And for the head of the world's

leading financial organisation, We are forecasting

:23:14.:23:15.

growth in 2017 at 3.5%. And that's a significant

:23:16.:23:23.

uptake from 2016. But we need to make sure that this

:23:24.:23:30.

momentum is sustained. When you come to a company

:23:31.:23:41.

like Harley-Davidson, you are immediately struck,

:23:42.:23:43.

not just by the size of the factory, Yes, some of that is down

:23:44.:23:46.

to the presidential election. But a lot of it is down to the

:23:47.:23:51.

return of global economic growth. A return so marked, some

:23:52.:23:56.

are arguing, that ten years after the financial crisis,

the global economy has It is not just the makers

:24:41.:24:43.

been getting a lot of attention on social media. This is an official

photograph released by the White House of Donald Trump and some

surrounding former first lady sent former presidents. It is like the

especially when we know what is behind it. She will probably get

:25:31.:25:31.

told off on social media. You're watching One Hundred

:25:32.:25:34.

Days from BBC News. I'm Christian Fraser, live in Paris,

:25:35.:25:40.

where the 11 candidates for the French presidential election

:25:41.:25:42.

will take to the stage in the next few minutes in the final set-piece

:25:43.:25:45.

televised encounter of the campaign. We will hear from the man who said

:25:46.:25:54.

Donald Trump would win and is now predicting Marine Le Pen will win.

:25:55.:26:00.

One protester arrested arrested in Venezuela. We will have that in the

:26:01.:26:02.

programme. Good evening. Beautiful sunshine

:26:03.:26:15.

across north-eastern England today and the north-east of Scotland. The

:26:16.:26:20.

east coast of Scotland had the highest temperature, nearly 19

:26:21.:26:27.

degrees. This was relatively bright here. For the most part it was dry.

:26:28.:26:32.

We had a future was from this cloud which develops and moved southwards

:26:33.:26:35.

through the day. This line of cold across Scotland is developing

:26:36.:26:39.

weather front as well. That would take centre stage in the next 48

:26:40.:26:44.

hours because it is behind that introduce the colder air. Under

:26:45.:26:47.

clearing skies in the south it would be a tad chilly overnight with towns

:26:48.:26:51.

and cities will hold double figures. It will turn misty with four in

:26:52.:26:56.

Southern counties with the extra moisture from the cloud that we saw.

:26:57.:26:59.

Further north, the weather front is with us through the day. Not just

:27:00.:27:02.

rain but potentially deal force winds. That's because the details.

:27:03.:27:07.

It doesn't look particularly pleasant for the morning rush across

:27:08.:27:10.

Scotland. There will be good breaks of cloud sunshine East of the

:27:11.:27:16.

Pennines to start the day, that cloud is heading south. Northern

:27:17.:27:19.

Ireland is cloudy and breezy. Further south we have quite a bit of

cold, mist and fog to get rid of it is a promising day. It should be

gradually try and bright with increasing amounts of sun is that it

:27:28.:27:32.

was on. In that case, for most of us staying dry by the occasional

:27:33.:27:35.

shower, we might see temperatures getting up to 14 or 16 again. That

:27:36.:27:42.

is the likelihood in the south. Were fired 17 or 18 today, it will be

:27:43.:27:45.

significantly colder, even if it brightens up because we have a

:27:46.:27:49.

change in wind direction. That weather front pushes its way south

:27:50.:27:53.

through Friday night and into Saturday. It is picking up the

Saturday morning. We have the north-westerly wind setting in that

some showers. Further south there is more cold again. With sunshine

:28:04.:28:08.

together we will see 14 to 16 Celsius. It is notably called to the

:28:09.:28:13.

north. It is a wicked weather front because the high pressure is close

:28:14.:28:17.

by. The changes subtly across the north-west later on Sunday with

:28:18.:28:21.

windier, wetter weather to enter the begin. For the majority, it looks as

:28:22.:28:26.

if it was the dry, bright and not too bad temperature rise into

:28:27.:28:29.

Sunday, especially with the strength of the sun this time of year.

:28:30.:30:06.

Welcome back to 100 Days, with me Katty Kay in Washington,

:30:07.:30:09.

The scene is set - 11 candidates for the French Presidency get ready

:30:10.:30:18.

to appear on national television to sell their vision

:30:19.:30:20.

And we catch up with Trump voter - college student Tylar Martin.

:30:21.:30:27.

Three months into his presidency, is he living up to her expectations?

:30:28.:30:40.

As we've been discussing throughout the programme -

:30:41.:30:43.

this weekend the voters of France go to the polls in one of the most

:30:44.:30:46.

unpredictable elections the country has seen in decades.

:30:47.:30:49.

After Sunday there will be just two candidates left standing

:30:50.:30:51.

and for more on how things are shaping up we can cross again

:30:52.:30:55.

With me now is Bruno Jeanbart - who runs the polling

:30:56.:31:13.

organisation OpinionWay, and the physicist Serge Galam.

:31:14.:31:25.

You're one of the few people who predicted Trump would win. What is

:31:26.:31:37.

the latest with the polls? We're predicting Macron winning the waist

:31:38.:31:44.

with about 23% Fillon is at 20. The far left leader at it man 19. Only

:31:45.:31:52.

two will qualify. It is not the same for the second run. But for the

:31:53.:31:58.

moment we are expecting who will qualify on Sunday. Amazing that

:31:59.:32:04.

Francois Fillon has hung on so long. The real phenomenon for me of this

:32:05.:32:10.

election is that when you look at Brexit it was older people in

:32:11.:32:13.

Britain who wanted to come out of Europe, here it is younger people

:32:14.:32:17.

who are voting for Marine Le Pen who has the anti-Europe agenda. And

:32:18.:32:21.

older people want to stay in the Eurozone. It is because they are the

:32:22.:32:26.

people who have the most savings in the country and they are worried

:32:27.:32:35.

about that. The young people are protesting by voting for Marine Le

:32:36.:32:41.

Pen. They are not all voting from Marine Le Pen. The students are

:32:42.:32:47.

voting for the left. But we have 25% unemployment for young people. These

:32:48.:32:53.

people are voting for the National front. Taking that into account, if

:32:54.:33:01.

you put Marine Le Pen in the second poke round, all the polls was a she

:33:02.:33:08.

loses. You say she can win. When I use my modelling which allowed me to

:33:09.:33:14.

predict Trump, I also get Marine Le Pen losing. However, what is very

:33:15.:33:19.

new today is the fact that in order to implement what has been chord the

:33:20.:33:28.

Republican front, people have to do vote against for the challenger. But

:33:29.:33:33.

this time for many people to vote for the challenger is going to be

:33:34.:33:37.

rather high, if it will be Macron Fillon or Melenchon, we have a

:33:38.:33:46.

substantial section of voters who have an aversion to all of those.

:33:47.:33:50.

There will be a strong dilemma, on the one hand they want to oppose

:33:51.:33:55.

Marine Le Pen on the other, they would have to do to swallow a hugely

:33:56.:34:00.

bitter pearl. The point is, on the day any excuse would be good to stay

:34:01.:34:06.

home and forget to vote. So you are saying her vote is Woakes solid, if

:34:07.:34:11.

she gets hers out, the others have to do, and if everyone abstains she

:34:12.:34:17.

might get in. But people are saying they will vote against her. But will

:34:18.:34:22.

they? This is the question. Using the simply mathematical formula I

:34:23.:34:28.

can calculate the situation I can give you an illustration. In case

:34:29.:34:35.

she has voting intention of 42%, the challenge challenger, 58, normally

:34:36.:34:38.

she would totally lose will stop but with 90% turnout for her and only

:34:39.:34:43.

65% for the challenger, she would win the election with 50.07%. This

:34:44.:34:51.

is just one illustration. It is enough to have a discrepancy of

:34:52.:34:59.

around 20% to compensate six, seven, 8% missing to win the election. Your

:35:00.:35:04.

maths looks really complicated, but I will take your word for it because

:35:05.:35:08.

you got it right last time. Do you think you gets it right? No. The

:35:09.:35:18.

pollsters are really interested... In 2012, they got it pretty much

:35:19.:35:26.

right. She got about 16% and at about 17. It shows you how far she

:35:27.:35:31.

has come now. They did all right last time.

:35:32.:35:36.

In last election here in the United States we heard about secret Trump

:35:37.:35:42.

vote, I'm beginning to wonder if there is a secret Le Pen voter as

:35:43.:35:43.

well. The Venezuelan opposition

:35:44.:35:44.

is promising to keep up pressure on President Maduro by planning

:35:45.:35:46.

more protests today, The demonstrations took

:35:47.:35:48.

a deadly turn on Wednesday when three people were killed,

:35:49.:35:52.

including a teenager. The nationwide protests have been

:35:53.:35:56.

dubbed "the mother of all marches". These pictures came into us

:35:57.:35:59.

from Caracas a short time ago - as you can see there's a big crowd

:36:00.:36:02.

walking through the capital and, You can see police firing tear gas

:36:03.:36:05.

canisters at the protesters. Joining us now to discuss

:36:06.:36:12.

the unrest is Eric Farnsworth, Vice President of the Council

:36:13.:36:15.

of the Americas. What do these protesters think they

:36:16.:36:23.

can achieve in Venezuela? I think that is a good question. What is it

:36:24.:36:27.

they are asking for? They are asking for the Government to simply listen

:36:28.:36:32.

to their demands which is to say loosen up the economy to allow food

:36:33.:36:37.

to be imported once again, to restore the health care system, to

:36:38.:36:43.

restore security on the streets, to change the education system. These

:36:44.:36:45.

are big demands and the reason they are not being listened to in any

:36:46.:36:49.

meaningful way is they are the result of the model that the

:36:50.:36:52.

Government has in place and does not seem to be able to change -- willing

:36:53.:36:57.

to change. The way for red is an electoral process. Yesterday General

:36:58.:37:07.

Motors plant in Venezuelan, an American plant, was basically

:37:08.:37:09.

requisitioned by the Venezuelan Government, a bunch of vehicles were

:37:10.:37:13.

taken in the process. That seems to be what despots do when they are

:37:14.:37:17.

feeling desperate, they turn against foreigners and foreign entities. Are

:37:18.:37:24.

they feeling the pressure? I think he is feeling increased pressure

:37:25.:37:27.

from the international community and his own citizens. This was a

:37:28.:37:33.

one-time thing. This is what people in Venezuela have done for a long

:37:34.:37:36.

time, nationalising foreign companies, domestic companies, a

:37:37.:37:41.

full-scale assault on the private sector. This is a concern in terms

:37:42.:37:46.

of the recovery of the country, if and when there is an opportunity to

:37:47.:37:54.

do that, the energy sector which energy Venezuelan relies on will not

:37:55.:37:57.

be sufficient. You need a vibrant unproductive time private sector

:37:58.:38:00.

which has been strangled by the Government. This is the continuation

:38:01.:38:04.

of clearly an approach they have used for over 17 years and it is

:38:05.:38:09.

very worrisome. I would imagine the sort of things will continue because

:38:10.:38:13.

you are right, the Government is consolidating its power and it is

:38:14.:38:17.

radicalising and it is unclear it where it wants to go from here. We

:38:18.:38:20.

will watch how those demonstrations continue.

:38:21.:38:21.

At the end of each week we like to check in with voters

:38:22.:38:25.

on how the President is doing. for Donald Trump, to get their view

:38:26.:38:31.

I first met college student Taylar Martin in December of 2015,

:38:32.:38:34.

and this is how she described candidate Trump.

:38:35.:38:39.

Passionate, driven, confident. Motivated. You are studying

:38:40.:38:45.

international business. That is his sweet spot. Is that part of the

:38:46.:38:51.

appeal? He's very successful as a businessman so I'd like to see how

:38:52.:38:53.

as the leader of the United States. So, how is he doing now

:38:54.:38:55.

on day 91 in office? Thank you for coming in. I know you

:38:56.:39:04.

have exams coming up. How is he doing? I'm really pleased overall.

:39:05.:39:11.

As the biggest setback so far has been health care reform. Otherwise I

:39:12.:39:14.

think he is aggressively trying to fulfil campaign processes --

:39:15.:39:21.

promises. One of the things you are interested in is the American

:39:22.:39:26.

economy and how he performs in that. How has he done? So far I think he

:39:27.:39:30.

has really been trying to pass legislation in order to bring jobs

:39:31.:39:35.

back to America. What kind of legislation are you thinking of? The

:39:36.:39:41.

TPP, withdrawing from that. I am glad he did that. And also just

:39:42.:39:48.

recently he reached out to the people in trying to... What you

:39:49.:39:56.

think happened on health care? Why do you think he didn't manage to get

:39:57.:40:02.

health care reform through? He said it was one thing he said he would do

:40:03.:40:06.

during the campaign. I think there is too much division between

:40:07.:40:11.

Republicans and Democrats in Congress. They can't work past it.

:40:12.:40:15.

They aren't able to fully pass something that is beneficial to all.

:40:16.:40:21.

What else do you want him to do in terms of legislation, changing

:40:22.:40:24.

things, to getting Congress to work with him, what you want see happen

:40:25.:40:29.

next? I think the bombings in Syria were a good start. Honestly, because

:40:30.:40:36.

they set the standard that if, because Syria agreed not to use

:40:37.:40:39.

chemical warfare, because if you break these promises there will be

:40:40.:40:43.

repercussions will stop is addressing you say that, because a

:40:44.:40:46.

lot of people who voted for President Trump did so thinking he

:40:47.:40:49.

would not get involved in other conflicts in the Middle East.

:40:50.:40:53.

Doesn't it bother you this is a president who might be more

:40:54.:40:59.

interventionist than he suggested? I think overall he will do what he

:41:00.:41:03.

thinks is right for the US. In setting that standards, the videos

:41:04.:41:08.

were heart breaking so I think it had from his heartstrings. I know

:41:09.:41:13.

you did not want to tell friends of yours that you were voting for Trump

:41:14.:41:17.

during the campaign. Do unique now feel happy to say you voted for him?

:41:18.:41:23.

It is what it is when you go on the BBC. Everyone knows what your

:41:24.:41:27.

opinions are. I think I've lost some friends that way. But it is what I

:41:28.:41:29.

believe. Thank you for coming in. Is interesting is in it that you

:41:30.:41:39.

hear someone like her, who didn't want to tell her friends she was

:41:40.:41:42.

voted the Donald Trump, but is clearly happy with the direction he

:41:43.:41:45.

is taking. Particularly on the economic front. Very interesting.

:41:46.:41:52.

And of course it applies here in France. But we don't know where

:41:53.:41:57.

those shy voters will go. One in four are either undecided or will

:41:58.:42:00.

change their minds once they get into the box, which is why with

:42:01.:42:05.

those 11 candidates on the television tonight they will be

:42:06.:42:08.

hoping to squeeze another few thousand votes out of the system.

:42:09.:42:12.

You lived in Paris and when you live there the National front had a

:42:13.:42:17.

different image. Going back now, do you get the impression the French

:42:18.:42:20.

believe the party has changed under Marine Le Pen? No doubt. I was here

:42:21.:42:32.

in 2012 when she became the leader. Under her father it was very

:42:33.:42:36.

different. Though she has softened the party. The DNA of the party,

:42:37.:42:41.

some say, is very much the same, but she has softened it. That is why you

:42:42.:42:45.

see young people on campus is up and down the country prepared to vote

:42:46.:42:58.

for her. Waddle were surprises me,. -- the French want a different

:42:59.:43:01.

system to the one they have at the moment.
