:00:22. > :00:26.urged his supporters to choose hope over despair and resist
:00:27. > :00:42.the question being posed is that of the future of France, and Europe.
:00:43. > :00:45.At her own event, Marine Le Pen launched a stinging attack
:00:46. > :00:53.Emmanuel Macron is just Francois he is the "candidate of continuity".

:01:16. > :01:19.out what else is missing Is Hamas attempting
:01:20. > :01:22.to soften its image? We'll look at a new policy
:01:23. > :01:24.document released by the Palestinian militant group -
:01:25. > :01:26.the first since its And don't forget you can
:01:27. > :01:29.get in touch about any of the stories we're covering
:01:30. > :01:44.using the #BBCOS hashtag. It's the final week of campaigning
:01:45. > :01:50.in the French presidential election. Both Emmanuel Macron
:01:51. > :01:52.and Marine Le Pen have been holding rallies -
:01:53. > :01:54.attacking one another. Mr Macron told his supporters
:01:55. > :01:56.to reject the far-right policies of his rival -
:01:57. > :01:59.while Ms Le Pen linked Mr Macron to the outgoing administration
:02:00. > :02:01.and said they'd cost jobs All this to a backdrop
:02:02. > :02:08.of May Day protests. Masked demonstrators threw petrol
:02:09. > :02:13.bombs and other objects at officers, The parade was organised by trades
:02:14. > :02:36.unions and anti-racist campaigners. Francois Fillon of divisions now.
:02:37. > :02:42.Honoured day like today you see the divisions based on the different
:02:43. > :02:48.protest. I was at her John Marine Le Pen rally this morning. There were
:02:49. > :02:53.people there signing up to his particular view of France and those
:02:54. > :02:58.here have a very different view, they were all have to pick a side at
:02:59. > :03:02.the elections on Sunday. The danger for Emmanuel Macron is he doesn't
:03:03. > :03:07.necessarily get all of the people who marched here. Everyone here is
:03:08. > :03:09.against Marine Le Pen but that the does not mean they are in favour of
:03:10. > :03:12.Emmanuel Macron. I asked our correspondent
:03:13. > :03:23.Hugh Schofield how serious They were, in the scheme of things,
:03:24. > :03:30.not that bad. You get used to this confrontation at the end of rallies
:03:31. > :03:33.here. Anarchist types on the fringes engaging in stonethrowing and tear
:03:34. > :03:39.gas is classic and will be forgotten very weakly. What are we seeing the
:03:40. > :03:44.two candidates doing in terms of scooping up the votes of all people
:03:45. > :03:53.who didn't vote for them the first time around? Bring a pen's tactic is
:03:54. > :03:57.interesting. She is trying to portray Emmanuelle Macron as a
:03:58. > :04:00.creature of finance, she is really demonising him, demonising him in
:04:01. > :04:08.the eyes of left voters. She wants to make sure that people who voted
:04:09. > :04:13.left in the first round, those who voted for someone else, that they
:04:14. > :04:18.see Emmanuel Macron as a danger. She knows their first instinct will be
:04:19. > :04:23.to form a right against her, the far right, and vote from Emmanuel Macron
:04:24. > :04:27.but she was to spell out to them that they shouldn't do that because
:04:28. > :04:34.Emmanuel Macron is that evil thing over international link
:04:35. > :04:40.globalisation. She is saying Macron is as dangerous and reprehensible as
:04:41. > :04:46.you might think that I am, hoping that these voters will either vote
:04:47. > :04:50.for her or either abstain. If abstention is high and left wing
:04:51. > :04:57.voters stay away, that is good news for Marine Le Pen. And Macron? He
:04:58. > :05:01.was criticised last week for not getting out quick enough that the
:05:02. > :05:09.starting blocks and criticised again for having a values led campaign
:05:10. > :05:12.where he talked purely as if what mattered most was the Second World
:05:13. > :05:17.War and memories of the Holocaust, very important things, it talking
:05:18. > :05:23.about massacre, but hardly relevant to today. His intention was to
:05:24. > :05:31.remind everyone of Marine Le Pen's past. I think people feel, enough of
:05:32. > :05:35.that, what is in your programme? Today, he was more hard-hitting and
:05:36. > :05:38.talked about how Marine Le Pen's programme would be dangerous for
:05:39. > :05:46.France and that is what people will expect from him this week, more
:05:47. > :05:50.debate on what he proposes, on what she proposes and why his is better
:05:51. > :05:55.than hers. How are the polls looking, with six days to go? Fairly
:05:56. > :05:59.steady. They were creeping up for Marine Le Pen which suggests her
:06:00. > :06:04.campaign last week, which is so much more vital and energetic than
:06:05. > :06:14.Emmanuel Macron's was but it hasn't been that much. 60, 40. That kind of
:06:15. > :06:21.ratio. He is clearly the favourite with six days to go. More on the
:06:22. > :06:24.French elections later in the programme.

:06:28. > :06:30.Navy vessel as it sails through Japanese waters.
:06:31. > :06:32.The deployment of the helicopter carrier Izumo is the first such
:06:33. > :06:35.operation for Japan since it passed laws two years ago expanding
:06:36. > :06:39.It's seen as a decisive shift away from decades of pacifism.
:06:40. > :06:42.From Tokyo, Rupert Wingfield Hayes reports.
:06:43. > :06:44.The Izumo is the pride of the Japanese navy.
:06:45. > :06:48.The biggest warship the country has built since World War II.
:06:49. > :06:51.Today's departure is hugely symbolic.
:06:52. > :06:54.The Izumo will escort and protect this US Navy supply ship
:06:55. > :07:00.and will respond with force if it comes under attack.
:07:01. > :07:06.For Japan's military this is another big step away from pacifism.
:07:07. > :07:09.Just across the Sea of Japan satellite photos show North Korea
:07:10. > :07:13.is preparing for another underground nuclear test.
:07:14. > :07:17.Speaking on Sunday, US President Donald Trump again warned
:07:18. > :07:21.I would not be happy if he does a nuclear test,
:07:22. > :07:27.And I can tell you also, I don't believe that the president of China,
:07:28. > :07:33.who is a very respected man, will be happy.
:07:34. > :07:36.If Pyongyang is worried, it is not showing it.
:07:37. > :07:39.Today it vowed to go ahead with the nuclear test at any time
:07:40. > :07:44.This all comes two days after North Korea test fired another
:07:45. > :07:48.of its growing family of ballistic missiles.
:07:49. > :07:53.Meanwhile the USS Carl Vinson carrier battle group has finally
:07:54. > :07:55.arrived in waters off the Korean peninsula.
:07:56. > :07:59.The huge ship and its escorts are a very potent symbol
:08:00. > :08:09.President Trump is not giving many clues.
:08:10. > :08:11.I just don't want people to know what my thinking is.
:08:12. > :08:15.So eventually he will have a better delivery system and if that happens,
:08:16. > :08:22.For the first time the US president acknowledged the terrible
:08:23. > :08:24.consequences that could result from a military strike
:08:25. > :08:31.Massive warfare with potentially millions of people being killed.
:08:32. > :08:38.Tensions are now higher than at any time since North Korea's young
:08:39. > :08:42.dictator Kim Jong Un came to power in 2011.
:08:43. > :08:46.Despite the heated rhetoric, neither side wants a conflict.
:08:47. > :09:01.But when tensions are high so are the dangers of miscalculation.
:09:02. > :09:03.The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas has dropped its long-standing call
:09:04. > :09:05.for Israel's destruction as well as its association
:09:06. > :09:07.with the Muslim Brotherhood in a new policy document.
:09:08. > :09:09.The move appears aimed at improving relations
:09:10. > :09:13.To get a sense of how this has been viewed,
:09:14. > :09:18.I spoke with Rasha Qandeel from BBC Arabic.
:09:19. > :09:25.The first thing in the document is what you said, what seems to be a
:09:26. > :09:31.softer stance on Israel and in between wording, trying to distance
:09:32. > :09:38.Hamas from the Muslim Brotherhood, especially in Egypt, the very first
:09:39. > :09:44.reaction I have just heard on Arabic news was from the spokesperson of
:09:45. > :09:47.the Israeli Prime Minister and he said there is no change whatsoever,
:09:48. > :09:52.everything we have been reading, they don't see, the Israeli
:09:53. > :10:00.officials cannot see, and they still think Hamas is trying to destroy
:10:01. > :10:05.Israel. Has this come as a surprise? That actually has been leaked for a
:10:06. > :10:11.few days now, from Arabic sources of news. It was expected to be sharper
:10:12. > :10:17.than this, more obvious than this. But the wording that came today is
:10:18. > :10:23.actually a bit like the in between, the softer wording of what we were
:10:24. > :10:29.expecting, so it wasn't a surprise in the eyes of many, but it had to
:10:30. > :10:36.be more sharp than this to be actually something of significance
:10:37. > :10:40.to Israel, to Egypt, to the Gulf countries who have classified the
:10:41. > :10:46.Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organisation. It is not really as
:10:47. > :10:53.surprising as we wished for. Why has this come and why now? The timing is
:10:54. > :11:02.important. There is the pressure of the past billion in cash as Doully
:11:03. > :11:07.and -- Palestinian leadership, and this comes hours before the meeting
:11:08. > :11:14.between the Palestinian president and the American president Donald
:11:15. > :11:18.Trump. The other thing is, there is no future for the Muslim
:11:19. > :11:24.Brotherhood, in the eyes of many in the region, and Hamas is under the
:11:25. > :11:28.pressure of its two main big allies, Qatar and Turkey, and this is why
:11:29. > :11:30.the announcement has come out of Qatar to dismiss any speculation of
:11:31. > :11:36.dispute between the Muslim Brotherhood and Qatar or the Muslim
:11:37. > :11:41.Brotherhood and Turkey. So many of the analyst today see that this is a
:11:42. > :11:48.kind of pressure from the allies rather than from the other side.
:11:49. > :11:56.That is the Palestinian side, let's hear how Israel is reacting. It has
:11:57. > :12:03.been fairly muted because this announcement out of dough heart took
:12:04. > :12:07.time when Israel was marking Memorial Day, to remember the fallen
:12:08. > :12:12.soldiers and picked terms of terrorism so of course government
:12:13. > :12:16.leaders are taking part in those events and also taking part for the
:12:17. > :12:20.celebratory holiday which follows which marks Israel's Independence
:12:21. > :12:25.Day. We did have an Israeli official come out and say that Hamas is
:12:26. > :12:31.attempting to fool the world that it won't succeed, he said they'd built
:12:32. > :12:35.terror panels, meaning out of Gaza, and have lost thousands upon
:12:36. > :12:39.thousands of missiles at Israeli civilians, this he says is the real
:12:40. > :12:43.Hamas. Don't think this will change things too much either if you look
:12:44. > :12:48.at the EU or the US which both classify Hamas as being a terrorist
:12:49. > :12:52.organisation because Hamas continues in this new policy document to talk
:12:53. > :12:58.about its commitment to what it calls armed resistance which will
:12:59. > :13:03.mean, we imagine, more attacks on Israel, possible attacks in the
:13:04. > :13:07.future. I think what we really need to look for is any changing
:13:08. > :13:13.relations in the region where Hamas has seen increasingly isolated
:13:14. > :13:18.recently. Of course, the Gaza strip which is run by Hamas does have that
:13:19. > :13:23.border with Egypt, Egypt and several of the Gulf Arab states have
:13:24. > :13:26.recently entered the Muslim Brotherhood to be a terrorist
:13:27. > :13:29.organisation, so it is very interesting indeed, there is not a
:13:30. > :13:33.single mention of the Muslim Brotherhood in this new document,
:13:34. > :13:35.although of course Hamas was a logical offshoot of that big a
:13:36. > :13:43.Islamist organisation. And here in the UK, the organisation
