:00:07. > :00:08.Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.
:00:09. > :00:13.A new era is beginning in France and the country's president
:00:14. > :00:15.elect Emmanuel Macron has addressed the nation.
:00:16. > :00:22.Vive la republique. Vive la France!
:00:23. > :00:26.I'm Christian Fraser in Paris where the president-elect is getting
:00:27. > :00:32.on with the task of forming a new government.
:00:33. > :00:35.We'll be live in Paris with Christian Fraser.
:00:36. > :00:37.We'll hear from two members of the Obama administration
:00:38. > :00:39.on the alleged ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
:00:40. > :00:46.I had two in-person meetings and one phone call with the
:00:47. > :01:04.And the latest on the release of some of the Chibok girls in Nigeria.
:01:05. > :01:17.This is what we heard today from the President Elect of France.
:01:18. > :01:23.TRANSLATION: I wanted to be in the republican spirit, Marine Le Pen was
:01:24. > :01:29.my adversarial. I know the division of our nation has led to extreme
:01:30. > :01:34.votes, and I respect that. I know the rage, I know the anxiety, the
:01:35. > :01:40.doubt that lots of you also expressed. And it is under my
:01:41. > :01:46.responsibility to hear them and to protect the weak, but weakest, and
:01:47. > :01:51.to organise solidarity better and fight against any form of
:01:52. > :01:56.discrimination and inequality, and making sure in a resolute way that
:01:57. > :01:57.your security will be guaranteed, and I will also guarantee the unity
:01:58. > :02:00.of the nation. Emmanuel Macron's
:02:01. > :02:02.victory was emphatic. There was also cause
:02:03. > :02:13.for concern for him. Around 4 million voters
:02:14. > :02:16.spoilt their ballot papers. Another 12 million
:02:17. > :02:21.didn't vote at all, together that's well
:02:22. > :02:33.over a quarter of registered voters. Christian Fraser has covered the
:02:34. > :02:36.election all the way through. We heard Mr Macron talking about
:02:37. > :02:42.unifying the country, but then all nuclear that did -- all newly
:02:43. > :02:47.elected leaders do that. What will he addressed to get the country
:02:48. > :02:52.further together? You have given a good example of why there is such
:02:53. > :02:55.division in the country. You have got those 16 million voters who
:02:56. > :02:59.didn't cast a ballot or stayed away from polling stations, and you have
:03:00. > :03:04.11 million who voted the Marine Le Pen. You should also factor in of
:03:05. > :03:10.course those who voted in the first round for Jean-Luc Melenchon, they
:03:11. > :03:13.were populist as well. They don't die die with many policies that
:03:14. > :03:19.Emmanuel Macron has been speaking about. If he wants to get policies
:03:20. > :03:23.through, he needs a majority in parliament. At the moment, he only
:03:24. > :03:29.had a movement, it is an idea. When they go to the elections in June, he
:03:30. > :03:33.has two hope he can get over 200 deputies in the National Assembly.
:03:34. > :03:40.If he can't, he has to have a Coalition of the willing, bringing
:03:41. > :03:43.politicians from right and left. As you mentioned it, let's bring up the
:03:44. > :03:54.latest poll on the parliamentary elections. Temp
:03:55. > :04:00.Christian, it might be a good time for you to give us a lesson in how
:04:01. > :04:03.the French system of government works, how much power does the
:04:04. > :04:10.president have? How much power does Parliament have? Power is split
:04:11. > :04:21.between the two. A bit like the American system, you can have a
:04:22. > :04:25.majority of 299, a simple majority out of 577 deputies. It is a two
:04:26. > :04:31.round election, much like the presidential election in June. It is
:04:32. > :04:34.spread over a week, but the thing is, it is much more tactical in the
:04:35. > :04:40.second round. Parties will is that an aside to give another party a
:04:41. > :04:49.clear run. Some won't stand aside. Therefore, you get skewed results.
:04:50. > :04:52.It is not simple. You will get anomalies around the country and it
:04:53. > :04:58.is by no means guaranteed that he will get anywhere near the 289 Mark.
:04:59. > :05:03.You will be joined in a moment, but before we hear from you and your
:05:04. > :05:10.guests, let's remind ourselves of several challenges facing Mr Macron.
:05:11. > :05:11.Bringing together a divided country is one task.
:05:12. > :05:21.France's unemployment currently sits at 10%.
:05:22. > :05:23.Mr Macron has promised to get it below 7%
:05:24. > :05:26.and security remains a hugely pressing issue.
:05:27. > :05:36.After the Paris attacks, the attack on the magazine, the truck attack in
:05:37. > :05:42.Nice, how the president goes about keeping everyone safe is crucial to
:05:43. > :05:44.the success of his presidency. Christian, let's bring you back in
:05:45. > :05:56.and you can introduce your guest. On security, he is seen as not as
:05:57. > :06:02.strong as Marine Le Pen was. What sort of Gutman does he formed? Let's
:06:03. > :06:09.talk about that with a political scientist here in Paris. He is
:06:10. > :06:15.inaugurated on Sunday, the next day we will get wind of who his next
:06:16. > :06:19.Prime Minister is going to be. When he looks at the assembly, because of
:06:20. > :06:22.what we just talked about, he doesn't have a majority, would it be
:06:23. > :06:26.more sensible to have a Prime Minister from the right? The
:06:27. > :06:30.nomination of the Prime Minister will be a strong symbol to give an
:06:31. > :06:34.idea of the type of Coalition he would like to form in the National
:06:35. > :06:39.Assembly. Probably, it is more likely that he will form a majority
:06:40. > :06:50.with some other MPs from the right to try to maybe nominate an MP from
:06:51. > :06:54.his own movement that came from the Republic, that is the direction he
:06:55. > :07:00.would like to go. No leader from France has risen so quickly and at
:07:01. > :07:03.such a young age, probably since Napoleon, without a political
:07:04. > :07:08.movement or a party, so how does he go about building a Coalition of the
:07:09. > :07:12.willing in the National Assembly? It is in an president it presidential
:07:13. > :07:22.election that might unprecedented. The political situation is
:07:23. > :07:27.fragmented and he hopes to take advantage of that to form a new
:07:28. > :07:31.Coalition, a new political force in the centre of the political
:07:32. > :07:34.landscape, which is new for France. If you are a Republican or
:07:35. > :07:39.socialist, can you join that movement without resigning from your
:07:40. > :07:42.own party? How does it work? On the side of Macron's movement, he is
:07:43. > :07:47.open to getting people from other parties come and run as candidates
:07:48. > :07:51.of his new political movement, but the root of the other party, it
:07:52. > :07:56.seems, people will have to choose, keeping the party or joining
:07:57. > :08:03.Emmanuel Macron. Tell us a little bit about getting a movement like
:08:04. > :08:06.this of the ground in a parliament election, I would guess like most
:08:07. > :08:12.other countries that parties are deeply embedded in towns and
:08:13. > :08:16.villages and it is difficult to get in there and start a party. It is
:08:17. > :08:21.typically more directed from the centre. They have some local
:08:22. > :08:29.candidates that have a strong historical connection, but you cant
:08:30. > :08:32.compete in the election without having a strong connection without
:08:33. > :08:37.being a local politician from there. He hopes to find enough candidates,
:08:38. > :08:43.local candidates of people from various civil societies from his
:08:44. > :08:49.movement who are willing to be candidates. 50% coming from civil
:08:50. > :08:52.society, 50% women as well. That will be a breath of fresh air in
:08:53. > :08:57.Parliament, lots of new faces. Why do you think he stood aside as
:08:58. > :09:03.leader of the movement, and why has he renamed it? It is now La
:09:04. > :09:07.Republique en Marche. It has just been announced. I don't know if it
:09:08. > :09:12.is a new sign to Mark with the change of name the fact that we are
:09:13. > :09:15.in a new period. We have finished the presidential election and we
:09:16. > :09:19.want to give a new stance for his movement for the President, for the
:09:20. > :09:24.legislative election. He hopes to be the pivot at the top? Of course, he
:09:25. > :09:28.still has a leading role in the party, even if he is not formally
:09:29. > :09:33.leading the party, he remains the leader of the movement. The change
:09:34. > :09:38.in the direction of the party doesn't mean all present a change in
:09:39. > :09:43.the political direction. OK, thank you very much indeed for your
:09:44. > :09:47.thoughts. Rather peculiar that he stood down from a movement he
:09:48. > :09:51.launched only a year ago. Sitting as a fulcrum at the top as the
:09:52. > :09:54.president, but in no way can you guarantee that he can control
:09:55. > :10:00.Parliament. The next six weeks are going to be very crucial.
:10:01. > :10:07.He is certainly his own man but it has got him the presidency.
:10:08. > :10:09.Emmanuel Macron has described Brexit as a "crime" that will plunge
:10:10. > :10:15.After a meeting with Theresa May in February he said "Brexit
:10:16. > :10:18.cannot lead to a kind of optimisation of
:10:19. > :10:20.Britain's relationship with the rest of Europe.
:10:21. > :10:28.I am very determined that there will be no undue advantages."
:10:29. > :10:30.How might that translate into practical policy?
:10:31. > :10:32.Andy Silvester is Deputy Director of Policy at
:10:33. > :10:45.He joins us live from Westminster. When I read", do you get worried
:10:46. > :10:48.Reece you expect nothing less from a French candidate during a French
:10:49. > :10:52.general election campaign. It is now a time for cool heads to prevail,
:10:53. > :11:08.there is no question that across Europe, there would have been size
:11:09. > :11:12.of Rob -- sighs of relief. This is a good thing for Brexit. We can get on
:11:13. > :11:16.with negotiations want our own general election is underway.
:11:17. > :11:20.Everything is relative, but if you have the president of France saying
:11:21. > :11:25.make sure there are no undue advantages, it plays into the
:11:26. > :11:27.narrative that the European Union cannot afford for Brexit to look
:11:28. > :11:32.like an attractive option for any other members. That is certainly
:11:33. > :11:35.true. I don't think anyone in Whitehall for the current government
:11:36. > :11:40.or in the parties competing to be the government after 8th of June are
:11:41. > :11:43.expecting any favours from the French presidential palace, or from
:11:44. > :11:47.Emmanuel Macron himself when he gets to Brussels. But a strong Franco
:11:48. > :11:51.German alliance in the middle of the European Union isn't necessarily a
:11:52. > :11:56.bad thing, two countries that trade regularly with the United Kingdom.
:11:57. > :11:59.As we move towards the actual constructive elements of the
:12:00. > :12:04.negotiation, one would expect that tone to change. If it doesn't, you
:12:05. > :12:07.will of course see Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn, or Tim Farron or
:12:08. > :12:12.whoever is in Downing Street matching the rhetoric word for word.
:12:13. > :12:16.We need to get away with that. If we need a good deal, we need to get
:12:17. > :12:20.around the table, rather than fight on front pages. Behind you, I can
:12:21. > :12:24.see skyscrapers of Canary Wharf, will people there be concerned that
:12:25. > :12:29.the new president has made it clear that he sees Brexit as a business
:12:30. > :12:33.opportunity for Paris? At that is certainly the case. The front page
:12:34. > :12:36.of the Evening Standard this evening was very much on that note. We have
:12:37. > :12:41.do think about the City's advantages more generally. A competitive
:12:42. > :12:45.France, a liberal France is not a bad thing for Britain. Competitive
:12:46. > :12:50.and liberal Europe is not a bad thing for Britain. We have huge
:12:51. > :12:52.amount of cross-border trade. If Emmanuel Macron can deliver the
:12:53. > :12:57.liberalisation he would like to come and he's as he would like to after
:12:58. > :13:03.the elections that he still has to get a majority, it will be good for
:13:04. > :13:06.Britain. As I said at the start, nothing has particularly changed as
:13:07. > :13:10.a result of Emmanuel Macron's election, but there are still
:13:11. > :13:21.grounds for optimism. Thank you for your time, Andy. In a few minutes we
:13:22. > :13:25.will go to Abuja, where 82 of the Chibok girls who were released at
:13:26. > :13:28.the weekend have been taken to meet the Nigerian president. But we
:13:29. > :13:35.understand many of them have still not met their closest relatives.
:13:36. > :13:40.And here in the UK a 35-year-old man has been charged in connection
:13:41. > :13:44.with a dog attack on a toddler in Liverpool yesterday.

:18:52. > :18:56.decades, French government, French presidents, have promised their
:18:57. > :18:59.European partners reforms against deficit slippage. We believe we have
:19:00. > :19:05.reached a point where European partners are not interested in
:19:06. > :19:10.hearing such a bargain. So possibly, we have reached a point where France
:19:11. > :19:16.will deliver reforms to stay ahead of the curve in international
:19:17. > :19:21.competition. Where is the fiscal stimulus that is probably needed for

:20:46. > :20:50.Faster approval by the federal drug Association should increase

:21:01. > :21:06.cancer treatments. These are the companies that take most of the risk
:21:07. > :21:11.when getting a drug to market. It is a process that can cost billions of
:21:12. > :21:18.dollars, take 10-15 years, and no guarantee of success. But perhaps
:21:19. > :21:23.surprisingly, R Gen X is an convinced that faster approvals are
:21:24. > :21:28.a good idea. What is important is to develop effective therapies that are
:21:29. > :21:31.also safe, which I didn't believe we should lower the bar. What we have
:21:32. > :21:37.to do is work creatively with our partners in the regulatory industry
