tonight to explain why MPs were not told a Trident missile test went

wrong last summer. It happened just weeks before

a crucial Commons vote on the future of Britain's nuclear deterrent,

when Theresa May urged Parliament to back renewal

of the weapons system. Today, she repeatedly declined to

say whether she knew of the malfunction, when an unarmed missile

failed to reach its target. Our Defence Correspondent

Jonathan Beale reports. This is what the launch

of a Trident missile looks like. Last June the Royal Navy carried out

Editor John Pienaar How damaging is all this for the

Prime Minister? Well, you only had to watch that interview, Clive, to

see this is a difficult story, and an uncomfortable time with potential

for political embarrassment. The betting is the Defence Secretary,

Sir Michael Fallon, could well be asked to make a statement to the

House of Commons tomorrow, on all of this and he could argue this was a

routine test, that there's no realistic chance of a nuclear

accidental strike on Moscow, let alone Florida. Experts would say a

stray missile would be aborted long before it land on Disneyland. It's

putting me ahead of the other candidate you are sending a message

of hope and renewal. You want to write a new page for the left and

for France. Today's result is the verdict of a party divided, and also

disillusioned. Turnout was much cloeer than in the socialist primary

five years ago. A sign that few here believe they are choosing the next

president. There is going to be very little chance for the left wing

because I think the people are so disappointed in Francois Hollande's

presidency. But there is still hope. Even if we don't win in the next

election, it'll set the mood for what is going to happen and what

type of a position we can do. When it comes to finding a left-wing

candidate for the presidency, the Socialist Party race is only part of

the story. After five years of President Hollande's unpopular

government, interest in this primary is low and two of the most popular

left-wing politicians aren't even left-wing politicians aren't even

taking part. Emmanuel Macrn left the Government

last year and is drawing business crowds to his own independent

president campaign. And the leader of the France's far

left party is also running on his own ticket. Whoever wins the

socialist nomination next Sunday will leave left-wing voters with a

choice - split their votes among three different parties, or unite

behind one of the candidates on offer.

They might be celebrating now, but to stand any chance of keeping the

far right Front Nationale from power, the socialist candidate may

have to choose who they want to help, their opponents on the right,

or their rivals on the left. Now, to a film that
