The two contenders for the French presidency are going head-to-head in | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
a live televised debate. 20 million viewers are expected | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
to tune in as centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron and his far-right | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
rival Marine Le Pen try to convince undecided voters why they should be | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
the next French President. As the UK gears up for its own | :00:27. | :00:37. | |
election, the gloves are off over Brexit talks. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Threats against Britain have been issued by European | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
All of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
the result of the general election that will take place on June eight. | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
the Palestinian President to the White House and says | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
he serious about peace in the Middle East. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
We want to create peace between Israel and the Palestinians. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
We'll be working so hard to get it done. | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
And if you want to get in touch with us - | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
Let's return to our top story - French presidential candidates | :01:09. | :01:32. | |
Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron have just begun a live televised | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
debate ahead of Sunday's second round and final round of voting | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
TRANSLATION: The French believed you were something new. When, in fact, | :01:39. | :01:59. | |
the candidate who has been chosen by the Socialist party, and Francois | :02:00. | :02:08. | |
Hollande. There are 30 seconds between the two of you. We will talk | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
about Europe and what happens at the international level. It deserves | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
that we should talk seriously about that situation. Perhaps we should | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
separate you both. Europe, two radically different views on it. | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
Give us your definition of Europe tomorrow. | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
STUDIO: You are watching a little bit of that debate. | :02:38. | :02:38. | |
I'm joined by Agnes Poirier - journalist and broadcaster. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
She is tied jesting and dissecting everything that is happening firm | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
nearly two and a half hours of that debate. What has struck you in the | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
past few minutes? It is a heated debate. They talk over each other. | :02:54. | :03:03. | |
They really do. Yes, a lot. At the beginning of the debate she was not | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
in her best form. The economy isn't her topic now. It went to social | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
affairs, to retirement age, to terrorism, to security, and this is | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
her favourite topic. She is good on those questions. Emmanuel Macron was | :03:21. | :03:29. | |
on the defensive, so she gained traction. Now as we speak they are | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
talking about Europe. I'm looking forward to that... That is where the | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
stark difference is between those candidates. It is everything that | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
opposes them, really. Especially with Brexit. It will be watched | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
closely. He is for an open Europe, opened in France, and she is for | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
exiting it. Not only the European currency, but in time the European | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
Union. We will see what they have to say on the subject. They still have | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
an hour to go. What do you think people are looking for? With both | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
met people who are undecided and thinking about casting a white | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
ballot, which means they find both of them disagreeable and they cannot | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
vote for either, what do you think? -- we have both met people who are | :04:24. | :04:24. | |
undecided. It has happened in the past. You can | :04:25. | :04:40. | |
be on the right wing and still be generous. It is part of the National | :04:41. | :04:50. | |
Theatre. It is a pantomime. But sometimes important things are being | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
said. Sometimes it is convincing the undecided. That is the key of the | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
debate. They've almost got another hour. Thank you for watching for us. | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
That is our top story, the French election, and that voting taking | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
place on Sunday. Let's move to this man who won his election. | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
Donald Trump has met with the President of | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas. | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Here are some of the pictures we've had into the building. | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Donald Trump has expressed pro-Israel views | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
throughout his Presidency - but also claimed that he is | :05:25. | :05:26. | |
the man that can bring peace to the middle east. | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
We can listen to Donald Trump first. We want to create peace between | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
Israel and the Palestinians. We will get it done. We will be working so | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
hard to get it done. It's been a hard time. We will be working | :05:51. | :05:57. | |
diligently and I think we have a good chance, and I think you feel | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
the same way. We can bring in our correspondent from Washington. It | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
seems convivial, friendly, but was there any real concrete changes of | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
policy coming from the White House today? There wasn't really a policy | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
announcement. It was more like an announcement of intent. You heard | :06:19. | :06:20. | |
Donald Trump talking about the US and commitment to try to get a peace | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
deal between Israelis and Palestinians. He said he would | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
pursue that. He said he was confident he could achieve it. But | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
he didn't say how he was going to do that. He didn't give a starting | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
point, a goal, or what an outcome would look like. He said he would | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
facilitate, arbitrate, Mediate, but he didn't say for example he would | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
be pursuing a two state solution, which is what the goal of US policy | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
has been previously under previous administrations. Mahmoud Abbas did | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
bring it up, he said that would be a way of getting an agreement with | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
East Jerusalem as its capital. We East Jerusalem as its capital. We | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
don't know what Trump has in mind. He says he wants whatever the two | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
sides want. Incredibly complex and difficult resolution to come to. But | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Mahmoud Abbas isn't popular at home as a leader even if he were to make | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
some progress. He is unpopular in the West Bank. Palestinians believe | :07:21. | :07:28. | |
his government is corrupt. Senior strategists haven't achieved peace. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
They believe he should hold elections because he has been in | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
power for 12 years. He's struggling there. He is also being challenged | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
by another popular Palestinian leader, who is leading a hunger | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
strike at the moment. That is something Mahmoud Abbas has to face, | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
as well. And he's in a power struggle with Hamas. He is funding | :07:49. | :07:57. | |
the electricity in Gaza and other things. That is increased tensions. | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
And it highlights that the Palestinians are split when it comes | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
to governments. He'd struggle in terms of his legitimacy, but I think | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
that's one reason why this visit of the White House was important for | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
him to have Mr Trump endorse him as the Palestinian leader who wants to | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
work with. And Mr Trump said he supported him. And that a special | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
partnership was necessary to achieved peace. Thank you very much. | :08:27. | :08:30. | |
This is Ghanaian footballer Sulley Muntari. | :08:31. | :08:32. | |
He's just been banned for one match - his wrongdoing? | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
Protesting against racial abuse he received during | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Tulsen Tollett joins me from the BBC Sport Centre. | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
Give us a little more of the context. During the game, Pescara | :08:49. | :09:07. | |
lost the match. During the match Ding was given racial abuse. He went | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
to challenge it after the match. -- during the match Sulley Muntari | :09:11. | :09:30. | |
was given racial abuse. He went to challenge the fans afterwards. | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
Sometimes normality and sport doesn't go hand-in-hand. The Italian | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
authorities have said only ten people were racially abusing Sulley | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
Muntari and that is why they cannot take action. I don't know weather | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
that makes a difference. If ten people in the street were doing | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
that, what would happen? Those are the kinds of questions which will be | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
asked. And some are asking others to boycott this weekend, is that right? | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
Any self-respecting backplane and any player should boycott matches | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
this weekend, according to the leader of the Kick It Out campaign. | :10:13. | :10:22. | |
Really interesting. Thank you. I want to turn to these women now... | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
All this week the BBC is profiling all the nominees for BBC | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
Today we take a closer look at Swedish goal | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
My name is Hedvig Lindahl. I would like you to vote for me for the | :10:31. | :10:52. | |
women's Footballer of the Year if you think I'm worth it. I was four | :10:53. | :10:58. | |
when I joined in for my first proper training session. | :10:59. | :12:35. | |
Stay with us. Still to come: The German defence minister is in hot | :12:36. | :12:45. | |
water after criticising the leadership of the leader of the | :12:46. | :12:45. | |
army. Whilst the Brexit debate | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
continues Labour has The party has pledged to halt | :12:57. | :12:57. | |
closures of hospital services. Protests against NHS | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
closures are nothing new, but in some communities | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
like Huddersfield, concerns This protest last autumn | :13:07. | :13:07. | |
was in reaction to plans to remove Campaigners say people will suffer | :13:08. | :13:20. | |
because of longer journey times. Patients are going to be dispersed | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
all around the north of the country. Those will involve longer trips | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
and the longer the trip, the more danger there | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
is in the situation. Labour's John Ashworth, | :13:30. | :13:38. | |
at a meeting of activists from Huddersfield and around | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
Yorkshire, said he wanted to halt closures, specifically by stalling | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
NHS reform plans in England. We're saying, let's | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
have a moratorium on them and let's step back | :13:46. | :13:47. | |
and have a full review of them. When we review them, | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
let's involve clinicians, but let's So far, they have been cut | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
out of the decisions, The NHS reform documents are known | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
as sustainability and transformation plans and have been published in 44 | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
areas across England. Some involve hospital bed cuts | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
and service reductions, with funds reinvested | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
in community care. The Southwest London plan involves | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
the possible reduction of five Local campaigners say this one, | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
St Helier, faces closure. But the plan's authors say that | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
resources will be shifted into local area teams involving GPs, | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
social care staff and nurses, providing care closer | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
to people's homes. For the Conservatives, | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
Jeremy Hunt said in a written statement that Labour's | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
plan was nonsensical as the party He said they were supported by top | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
doctors and nurses in the NHS The Liberal Democrats said | :14:31. | :14:40. | |
the real issue was lack If there is not enough | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
money in the system, however you rejig those services, | :14:44. | :14:58. | |
you're never going to be able to provide the quality | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
of care that is needed. That's why as a party, | :15:02. | :15:03. | |
the Liberal Democrats are calling for significant investment to be | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
made in the NHS. NHS leaders say in response | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
to rising patient demand and stretched resources, | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
the plans are all about treating Whoever is in government can expect | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
more intense political This is Outside Source live | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
from the BBC newsroom. The two contenders for the French | :15:16. | :15:35. | |
presidency are going head-to-head in a live televised debate ahad | :15:36. | :15:38. | |
of Sunday's final round of voting. German Defence Minister Ursula von | :15:39. | :15:50. | |
der Leyen has provoked an angry response from politicians | :15:51. | :15:52. | |
and military figures after she criticised | :15:53. | :15:54. | |
the leadership in the army. She was speaking after a lieutenant | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
was arrested on suspicion Allegations are that the soldier | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
used a fake identity to register as a Syrian refugee in preparation | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
for an attack under disguise. Von der Leyen said his superior | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
officers had looked the other way and that the army had | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
an "attitude problem," "a misunderstood esprit de corps," | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
and "apparently weak leadership We can hear more from the BBC's | :16:11. | :16:31. | |
Jenny hill. Germany has been transfixed by this rather strange | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
tale concerning a soldier who the authorities are naming only as | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
Franco A. He is a soldier in the German army. He is also alleged to | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
have posed for almost two years as a Syrian refugee at the same time as | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
trying to put together, it is alleged, a right-wing extremist | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
terror attack. That never came to fruition. The police managed to | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
intervene before that. It has caused real scandal because it has | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
transpired that he was part of the German Army and they were reportedly | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
warned about his right-wing extremist tendencies some time ago. | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
They did nothing about it, apparently. Investigators are now | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
looking at the possibility that he may have been part of a right-wing | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
extremist cell, containing at least two other soldiers. That | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
investigation is ongoing. At the same time there are political | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
ramifications, too. The German defence minister is now under | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
pressure after she criticised the German army for its handling of the | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
case and in particular single out its leadership. That has upset the | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
military top brass. -- in particular is singled out its leadership, which | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
has upset the military top brass. She had to cancel a meeting in the | :17:50. | :17:56. | |
US with her American counterpart. Instead she flew to the barracks in | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
France where the soldier had previously been stationed to try and | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
sort out all of this. I suspect she wants to do something about the | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
investigation. It's not for the first time we are seeing headlines | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
about her under pressure. She has inherited, as defence minister, a | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
military which is generally considered to be, in terms of | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
personnel and equipment, pretty much below par. She is often the subject | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
of attacks from the military. But perhaps there has never been a row | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
as bitter as this one. Nevertheless, she appears to have the full support | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
of Angela Merkel whose spokesman today said she stood fully behind | :18:36. | :18:40. | |
Ursula. Thank you. The world's killer whales | :18:41. | :18:41. | |
are in trouble, especially around Scientists have found that | :18:42. | :18:43. | |
one of the UK's last resident killer whales - | :18:44. | :18:46. | |
who was found dead on the shores of Scotland last year - | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
had record amounts of a banned toxic Scientists say the levels | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
of the man-made chemicals known as PCBs were among | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
the highest ever recorded. Our science correspondent | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
Rebecca Morelle has more. They are the UK's | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
last killer whales. Found off the west coast | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
of Scotland, today this pod Lulu was found dead on the shores | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
of the inner Hebrides. She'd become caught | :19:08. | :19:21. | |
up in fishing line. Her skeleton is now stored | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
at the National Museum Scotland. Tests showed she was heavily | :19:30. | :19:31. | |
contaminated with man-made The levels that we found in Lulu | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
were 20 times higher than the levels we would expect in citations that | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
weren't suffering That puts her as one of the most | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
contaminated animals on the planet. In killer whales, the chemicals can | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
stop the animals from bearing young. They harm the immune system, | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
and also the brain. For Lulu, one theory is that | :19:48. | :19:49. | |
PCBs may have severely impaired her intelligence, | :19:50. | :19:51. | |
perhaps leading to her deadly Here in the laboratory, the curing | :19:52. | :19:53. | |
effect of heat is shown... PCBs were once man-made | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
wonder chemicals. Used in everything from | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
plastics to electrics. But it was later discovered | :20:00. | :20:01. | |
they were toxic, and from the 1970s a series of bans around the world | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
were put into place. Especially in landfill sites that | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
contain the materials The chemicals are long-lasting, | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
they do not break down easily. And it is estimated that there | :20:14. | :20:24. | |
is still more than a million tonnes of contaminated material in Europe, | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
and this is leaching from the land into the sea, | :20:28. | :20:29. | |
and on into the marine food chain. Some scientists say more needs | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
to be done to clear PCBs But UK officials say | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
levels are declining. PCBs are of global concern, | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
but with so few killer whales left in the UK, | :20:39. | :20:40. | |
it is a problem It is likely the rest of Lulu's pod | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
is also heavily contaminated, Lets return to our top story - | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
French presidential candidates Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
are continuing a live televised debate ahead of Sunday's second | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
round and final round of voting TRANSLATION: We had a European | :20:58. | :21:21. | |
policy which worked. I want a Europe that goes faster, protects the | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
bureaucratic, but we need globalisation. For 25 years you've | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
been promising this social... Marine Le Pen... We've been the victim of | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
massive decentralisation. The collapse of employment. The | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
outsourcing on a massive scale. That is because the forms were not read. | :21:48. | :21:56. | |
The French are in danger... Because of your policy. This is important. | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
Yes, it is. If this government isn't... | :22:04. | :22:04. | |
STUDIO: I'm joined by Agnes Poirier - | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
journalist and broadcaster. They were talking about the EU when | :22:08. | :22:15. | |
we last spoke, they still seem to be talking about it. Yes. A really | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
contentious issue. Especially after Brexit. What's happened in the last | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
few minutes is that Marine Le Pen, being extremely aggressive from the | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
beginning of the debate with Emmanuel Macron, Emmanuel Macron | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
perhaps a bit too sarcastic. But on the EU he really managed to show | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
that she didn't know much about the economy. She said that France would | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
leave the euro currency. But that the central bank would be able to | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
trade in the euro. Then it lasted a long while but it wasn't clear, so | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
she said there would be a referendum in the next few months about exiting | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
the euro currency. But at the same time she would be renegotiating all | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
of the treaties so that France would actually remain in the EU. It is | :23:09. | :23:18. | |
quite vague. And she stumbled a bit and I think she lost some points. Is | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
it possible, you've been watching from the beginning, to see who has | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
the upper hand? I think Emmanuel Macron. She is a lawyer. She can | :23:28. | :23:39. | |
debate extremely well, so this is a surprise. We were expecting her to | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
come out on top. But she has been rehashing the past. Talking about | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
the past rather than explaining her politics, her policies, her | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
manifesto, and not looking forward to when she would become president. | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
Some people have talked about nostalgia. But a galvanising support | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
from some of her supporters, as well. In the last few minutes, lots | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
of people talking about turnout. Emmanuel Macron is ahead in the | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
polls by a good amount, approximately 20, but if the people | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
don't turn out? That is the big unknown. Traditionally the French | :24:14. | :24:21. | |
like voting. We are talking about participation. 80%, 87% in 2012. | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
But, of course, if it is extremely high that might work in her | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
advantage. So far the gap is so big between the two. It might narrow a | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
bit. But for her to wind, you know, we would need a very high extension, | :24:41. | :24:49. | |
perhaps 20% more than usual. -- but for her to win, you know, we would | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
need a very high extension, perhaps 20% more than usual. Thanks very | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
much. Thank you for spending some of your day with us on Outside Source. | :25:00. | :25:03. |
