:00:07. > :00:15.Welcome to Outside Source. The next president of France will be the far
:00:16. > :00:20.right Marine Le Pen or centrist Emmanuel Macron. This is what the
:00:21. > :00:23.current president thinks. The far right would be deeply divisive for
:00:24. > :00:28.France. They will endanger our freedoms and the founding principles
:00:29. > :00:31.of our Republic. In the last few hours, Marine Le Pen has announced
:00:32. > :00:36.she is stepping aside as the leader of the National Front to focus on
:00:37. > :00:40.her campaign. We will be live in Paris in a moment to try and work
:00:41. > :00:44.out what is behind that decision. President Trump says he wants the UN
:00:45. > :00:47.to back new sanctions against North Korea. Meanwhile, the North Koreans
:00:48. > :00:52.have warned that the threat of nuclear war is real. Afghanistan's
:00:53. > :00:56.defence chiefs have resigned following the killing of over 100
:00:57. > :01:02.soldiers on Friday. The US Defence Secretary has just arrived in
:01:03. > :01:07.Afghanistan. If the Taliban wish to join the political poseurs and work
:01:08. > :01:10.honestly for a positive future for the Afghan people, they need only to
:01:11. > :01:16.renounce violence and reject terrorism.
:01:17. > :01:17.We will also have details about the significant development in the fight
:01:18. > :01:39.against malaria. Well, when the results came through
:01:40. > :01:41.in the first round of the French presidential election, we knew that
:01:42. > :01:45.we had a result that had overturned French politics. They will be no
:01:46. > :01:50.candidate from the mainstream left candidate from the mainstream left
:01:51. > :01:53.or right parties in the second round of this election, something that has
:01:54. > :02:02.not happened in 60 years. But these too will battle it out because of
:02:03. > :02:07.this result. One of them will be the next president. Behind them is
:02:08. > :02:12.Francois Fillon of the Republicans, the far left Jean-Luc Melenchon,
:02:13. > :02:18.both bowling close to 20%, a long way behind, the Socialists on 6%. If
:02:19. > :02:23.we look at the map of France and the political map, you can see much has
:02:24. > :02:28.changed. This is from the first round of the weekend. The dark area
:02:29. > :02:34.are areas that support Marine Le Pen. The light pink areas support
:02:35. > :02:38.Emmanuel Macron. Not total domination by close to it. Compare
:02:39. > :02:42.that to 2012, when the blue-collar mark the success of Nicolas Sarkozy
:02:43. > :02:46.and the red of Francois Hollande. The socialist candidate. This was
:02:47. > :02:53.the time when the traditional candidates of France still had their
:02:54. > :02:57.way. One of the people responsible for the disruption is Marine Le Pen.
:02:58. > :03:06.In the last few hours, she has made an extraordinary and insolent and
:03:07. > :03:10.says... Let's try and decipher that. Our correspondent is live from
:03:11. > :03:15.Paris. I had to beat this story a few times over and I am still
:03:16. > :03:19.confused by it. -- read the story. Tell us what it means in practical
:03:20. > :03:26.terms and why Marine Le Pen has done it. She said that she wanted to go
:03:27. > :03:31.beyond the considerations of her party, and she is presenting herself
:03:32. > :03:35.as the candidate of the people. It is quite clear that this is an
:03:36. > :03:38.attempt to rally as many voters as she can. This will be our main
:03:39. > :03:42.challenge now in the run-up to the second round vote. And she's going
:03:43. > :03:50.to have to work a lot to convince a lot of people to back our candidacy
:03:51. > :03:56.against Emmanuel Macron. -- her candidacy. Traditionally in France,
:03:57. > :04:00.the mainstream parties and political rivals unite against the Front
:04:01. > :04:04.National. So she knows that that is what she is up against and she wants
:04:05. > :04:10.to go beyond political parties, to reach out to the French voters and
:04:11. > :04:15.say, it is not about whatever political colours you wear, it is
:04:16. > :04:22.about the candidates. That is what your -- she is trying to do. C both
:04:23. > :04:27.of the candidates. Earlier, Emmanuel Macron was campaigning but he also
:04:28. > :04:29.attended the ceremony to mark the anniversary of the Armenian
:04:30. > :04:33.genocide. His party has been warning against complacency and the reason
:04:34. > :04:38.is because he is a long way ahead in the polls. Marine Le Pen was also
:04:39. > :04:43.campaigning. This is what she said earlier.
:04:44. > :04:47.TRANSLATION: Mr Macron is weak on Islamic
:04:48. > :04:50.terrorism because the day after the terror attack, even indicated that
:04:51. > :04:53.he was not going to implement a programme against terrorism
:04:54. > :04:58.straightaway. You find someone who presents itself in a presidential
:04:59. > :05:01.election he does not have a programme to protect the French
:05:02. > :05:06.people against the danger of Islamic terrorism. That is a rather worrying
:05:07. > :05:10.sign. Let's bring our correspondent back
:05:11. > :05:13.in. We have an extraordinary situation will the two main
:05:14. > :05:19.candidates, neither of them are really representing a party any
:05:20. > :05:23.more. Exactly. Emmanuel Macron launched his movement just one year
:05:24. > :05:29.ago. He did not have an MP in Parliament. That will be a huge
:05:30. > :05:40.challenge for him, if he is elected president. How can he secure a
:05:41. > :05:43.majority in parliament in the Parliamentary election in June?
:05:44. > :05:49.December Marine Le Pen. Only two MPs in Parliament. For sure, here are
:05:50. > :05:53.two candidates will have to make alliances with mainstream to secure
:05:54. > :06:01.to govern and fast uniforms that to govern and fast uniforms that
:06:02. > :06:04.they are talking about. Now, it is interesting to see that already,
:06:05. > :06:09.Francois Fillon, the candidate of the Republicans who lost in the
:06:10. > :06:13.first round, has said he will vote for Emmanuel Macron against Marine
:06:14. > :06:22.Le Pen. And most mainstream politicians have also charged
:06:23. > :06:26.supporters to do the same. -- urged. Budget year some of the most
:06:27. > :06:30.conservative voices in the Republican side saying, actually, I
:06:31. > :06:33.want to vote against Emmanuel Macron and I will vote for Marine Le Pen.
:06:34. > :06:39.Whether she will be able to gather enough of these voices and
:06:40. > :06:43.momentum... She is in a much stronger position than her father
:06:44. > :06:46.was 15 years ago when he went to the second-round against the
:06:47. > :06:53.Conservative candidate, Jacques Chirac. That is what she will have
:06:54. > :06:56.to work on in the next two weeks. You mentioned the mainstream is
:06:57. > :07:01.getting behind Emmanuel Macron. I guess that is no more evidence of
:07:02. > :07:02.that and the fact that the current French president, Francois Hollande,
:07:03. > :07:21.had this to say earlier. TRANSLATION:
:07:22. > :07:26.The far right would be dangerous for France and they wouldn't danger of
:07:27. > :07:32.principles. This is why that in the face of such danger, there is
:07:33. > :07:36.nothing to be gained by standing by. There is no choice but to take
:07:37. > :07:45.action and there is a clear choice. As for me, I will be voting for
:07:46. > :07:51.Emmanuel Macron. One analyst points out that one key
:07:52. > :08:00.difference between America and France is...
:08:01. > :08:03.If we bring you back in, why is it that Marine Le Pen continues to
:08:04. > :08:10.struggle to get mainstream politicians to support her? That is
:08:11. > :08:17.because of the extreme past of the Front National. The party that her
:08:18. > :08:22.father founded and that horror... A lot of people see as the party of
:08:23. > :08:28.hatred. -- and that a lot of people see. That is what a lot of left-wing
:08:29. > :08:33.people say. The Republicans say that this is a party that could endanger
:08:34. > :08:38.the country and take it out of the eurozone. And this is something that
:08:39. > :08:45.both mainstream parties want to avoid at all costs. Thank you. As
:08:46. > :08:48.was alluded to, there will be a significant amount of relief in
:08:49. > :08:55.Brussels. The nightmare scenario in this first round for the European
:08:56. > :08:57.Union was that Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Melenchon got through to
:08:58. > :09:02.the second round. Both of them are fiercely critical of the year. He is

:09:47. > :09:49.the key election this year for the EU and Europe as a whole. Not just
:09:50. > :09:54.for France. It is enormously significant for France, but in the

:10:33. > :10:39.a country that is a founder member of the European Union and one of the
:10:40. > :10:42.core states. Which part it takes will have dramatically different
:10:43. > :10:46.consequences for Europe. If you have questions on the French

:11:03. > :11:10.100 soldiers at a military base - that's the deadliest attack
:11:11. > :11:16.on Afghan Armed Forces in a decade. And this has raised questions
:11:17. > :11:19.about whether the US is too focused on the Islamic State group,
:11:20. > :11:21.rather than the Taliban. Here's General Mattis
:11:22. > :11:29.speaking earlier. 2017 is going to be another tough

:23:09. > :23:12.there have been a number of great successes in the fight against
:23:13. > :23:16.malaria in recent years. For example, between 2010-2015, deaths
