:01:11. > :01:13.Labour's debility on defence as they say Jeremy Corbyn ruled out ever

:01:20. > :01:22.to a government which And The Metro carry the story
:01:23. > :01:26.of a Navy veteran, who was hit and killed by burglars
:01:27. > :01:37.driving his car. Let's begin. If you heard a rustling
:01:38. > :01:42.of papers, it is because Peter dashed in with a copy of the

:02:15. > :02:15.on the front pages. Defeat to the on the front pages. Defeat to the
:02:16. > :02:26.established parties as Macron and Marine Le Pen
:02:27. > :02:34.extraordinary. Two radically different visions of France and the
:02:35. > :02:39.future France. You could have thought Macron was a socialist but
:02:40. > :02:46.he has made a big point saying he is not from the left or the right, he
:02:47. > :02:52.is a centrist. This is a political earthquake which we have witnessed
:02:53. > :02:59.tonight. He has never held elected office. It is extraordinary. Since
:03:00. > :03:05.we have a centrist, who, it is not a party he has foundered, it is a
:03:06. > :03:10.movement, En Marche, barely a year ago. Marine Le Pen, like a father,
:03:11. > :03:16.has made it through to the second round, as predicted by many polls.
:03:17. > :03:21.It is done. This is a huge achievement for her as well.
:03:22. > :03:31.Radically different visions for France. Mr Macron very pro-EU with
:03:32. > :03:34.open markets and Marine Le Pen wants immediate ceasing of immigration and
:03:35. > :03:42.has a very different vision for France and we will have to see the
:03:43. > :03:51.debate. There be a face-off on French television and it will be
:03:52. > :03:55.fierce. Another photograph of Marine Le Pen accepting a vote came. It
:03:56. > :03:59.will be interesting to see either of them tried to put an Administration
:04:00. > :04:05.together, given they do not have form in office. Of course, Macron
:04:06. > :04:11.does have the support of the more established parties. Marine Le Pen
:04:12. > :04:15.might sound like he is after a revolution with something new and
:04:16. > :04:22.something fresh but look who is behind him. We have Francois Fillon
:04:23. > :04:26.who has been beaten. At some point he was the prime contender. We have
:04:27. > :04:34.had him come third and immediately get behind Macron. What is
:04:35. > :04:41.interesting is they have done it that quickly. The Socialist
:04:42. > :04:46.candidate, the official Socialist candidate who has done so badly,
:04:47. > :04:52.which is a real knock-down for the Socialist party. I should also
:04:53. > :04:55.stress, and this is not appreciated perhaps in the United Kingdom
:04:56. > :05:02.enough. 39 years old, unelected office. You are really, possibly,
:05:03. > :05:07.probably going to be the next president. 20 years younger, apart
:05:08. > :05:22.from Marine Le Pen. This is extraordinary that he is pulling
:05:23. > :05:26.this off so far. When he says, this is a very grave moment in the
:05:27. > :05:32.history of France, a historic moment. He is really needing to show
:05:33. > :05:38.that he has that gravitas, that he has what it takes, he has the
:05:39. > :05:42.solution is full that he has a lot of people to convince. One
:05:43. > :05:46.accusation as he tends to say one thing when speaking to one person
:05:47. > :05:52.and then he says another thing. That is what Marine Le Pen will be
:05:53. > :06:00.attacking. Tonight, Le Front National is livid whether it is
:06:01. > :06:04.Francois Fillon, the centre-right candidates saying he would vote
:06:05. > :06:10.Macron and he is asking people to vote against Marine Le Pen. The euro
:06:11. > :06:15.has gained a bit in value. There was concern about the integrity of the
:06:16. > :06:20.European Union if it were to be Marine Le Pen who wins. Of course
:06:21. > :06:31.also she is completely Eurosceptic. The idea that there could be a
:06:32. > :06:35.breaking up of the year union. Eurosceptic against Europhile
:06:36. > :06:40.railing. A crucial election for France. It is not over. There is a
:06:41. > :06:46.second round on the 7th of May. It would seem to be at is all there for
:06:47. > :06:52.Mr Macron. There are two weeks to go. Let's see what happens. Be you
:06:53. > :06:56.tonight is relieved. The unit is looking at France. If there were to
:06:57. > :07:05.be a win for Marine Le Pen this would have huge imprecations for the
:07:06. > :07:09.United Kingdom and for Brexit. She has said she would put it to the
:07:10. > :07:14.people and, in the end, it would be the French people who would decide
:07:15. > :07:20.that. Sighs of relief and a huge tension around France. There are
:07:21. > :07:30.some clashes with people not happy about the results. They have
:07:31. > :07:37.radically opposing views. Not to downplay the 19.5, 20% and the 19.5
:07:38. > :07:44.that Jean-Luc Melenchon on the far left got. That is a very divided
:07:45. > :07:50.France. How that is healed we will see. Let us look at the Daily
:07:51. > :07:55.Telegraph for a British story. We cannot offer such lovely language
:07:56. > :08:00.but Labour's nuclear implosion. Labour's debility on defence in
:08:01. > :08:06.tatters as the Daily Telegraph. I do not think the Daily Telegraph would
:08:07. > :08:11.ever have thought that Jeremy Corbyn had much credibility on defence.
:08:12. > :08:16.Jeremy Corbyn went on the Andrew Marr show this morning and he ruled
:08:17. > :08:23.out ever using Britain's nuclear deterrent. He also refused to back a
:08:24. > :08:29.strike to kill the leader of IS. Hours later, the Labour Party has to
:08:30. > :08:34.have clarification saying, of course, that they do support Trident
:08:35. > :08:38.as the nuclear deterrent. I was thinking back to Labour leaders who
:08:39. > :08:45.have said this in the past. It is not without precedent. I think, if I
:08:46. > :08:48.remember correctly, Denis Healey, the Labour leader who never was, I
:08:49. > :08:54.think he also said he would never have hit the button and sent nukes
:08:55. > :09:00.back in return. It is not completely... We all knew that
:09:01. > :09:05.Jeremy Corbyn thought this. It makes it difficult him same. A number of
:09:06. > :09:10.former military figures having their say and saying he cannot be trusted
:09:11. > :09:15.with the security of the nation. What a Prime Minister does, as
:09:16. > :09:21.Andrew was pointing out, you get locked away and you write letters.
:09:22. > :09:27.In those moments, it will be a very short letter and it will be very
:09:28. > :09:32.clear what your instruction to your military commanders are. Of course,
:09:33. > :09:36.I think some concern because, if you want to be the Prime Minister of
:09:37. > :09:41.this country, you must be very clear in your thinking, clear in the way
:09:42. > :09:46.you express what you think, and certainly, in a short letter like
:09:47. > :09:50.that, it is crystal clear so there is no hesitation as to what those
:09:51. > :09:55.instructions are. Let's have a look at the eye. Here is a man we all
:09:56. > :10:02.know well. Forget party allegiances, former Labour leader says to put
:10:03. > :10:11.aside loyalties and vote for anybody who is anti-Brexit all want a softer
:10:12. > :10:17.Brexit. Then suggesting he is tempted for a political comeback. He
:10:18. > :10:22.did not quite say that. He might look at France and think a centrist
:10:23. > :10:25.leader is doing terribly well. The comparison some people in British
:10:26. > :10:30.politics have made is that Macron feels a little bit like Tony Blair
:10:31. > :10:34.in certain ways. Probably a lot of people think in the last thing we
:10:35. > :10:40.need now is Tony Blair. There will also be people thinking, actually,
:10:41. > :10:47.elections, three general elections, elections, three general elections,
:10:48. > :10:54.for Labour. How keen Jeremy Corbyn would be on that, you wonder. It is
:10:55. > :11:02.one thing to think you might want to go back. As you say, where and doing
:11:03. > :11:11.what? When? And how soon. Very quick look at the Daily Express. Fresh
:11:12. > :11:23.calls for funding for authority that pays terrorists. This plays very
:11:24. > :11:29.much to those who want to reduce the amount that is given to foreign aid.
:11:30. > :11:35.Theresa May immediately, very early on, came out and said she would
:11:36. > :11:39.support the .7% target of GDP that would go towards aid. Many people
:11:40. > :11:45.thought she would go back from that. It was very much David Cameron,
:11:46. > :11:51.fresh face of the Tory Party together with the green stuff that
:11:52. > :11:56.got dropped. What our aid money is going to is much more about building
:11:57. > :12:00.future markets for us. Before it was not so much about that. She has
:12:01. > :12:05.committed very on to keeping it full studies is incredibly popular with
:12:06. > :12:09.readers of the Daily Express. This is about a mentally ill Arab, says
:12:10. > :12:14.the Daily Express who killed a British student and is in line to
:12:15. > :12:18.receive a salary from the Palestine authority which receives ?25 million
:12:19. > :12:22.a year from Britain. A lot of talk about foreign aid quite rightly is
:12:23. > :12:28.about soft power and particular leak in relation to Brexit. The huge
:12:29. > :12:34.necessity apart from the humanitarian aspect of it. With good
:12:35. > :12:39.governance and checks and balances. That is why it is so important, to
:12:40. > :12:43.convince people and taxpayers that there are those checks and balances
:12:44. > :12:47.and that government is really carefully monitored. That's good
:12:48. > :12:54.back to the Daily Telegraph. 40,000 people ran the London Marathon
:12:55. > :12:59.today. Nobody around this desk did. Bryony Gordon, the economist for the
:13:00. > :13:07.Daily Telegraph, she is featured hugging her little girl at the
:13:08. > :13:11.finish line. What a feeling he must have! In particular, mental health
:13:12. > :13:17.charities have really benefited this time because of the support by the
:13:18. > :13:22.Royal family. The Royals have come out to tackle an issue which should
:13:23. > :13:27.not be back has been controversial. It is really lovely to see this
:13:28. > :13:33.picture. That has been her work and it is fantastic. A lot of money from
:13:34. > :13:37.the marathon is going towards mental health charities. That is a real
:13:38. > :13:41.achievement. She will be writing about her experience in the paper.
:13:42. > :13:49.How she got the strength to even type I do not know. Do you fancy it?
:13:50. > :13:59.When I was in New York, I used to go and see them. It was astonishing. I
:14:00. > :14:03.love that feeling when you run. I have great admiration for people who
:14:04. > :14:11.do that. I cannot see myself doing it. I think it is an incredible
:14:12. > :14:22.accomplishment. What I also admire hugely is people who wear these
:14:23. > :14:24.costumes. I have done it. The rhinos are the fittest people because they
:14:25. > :14:31.are carrying around this enormously heavy thing. There is a bit when you
:14:32. > :14:37.go in a tunnel and he had to call on his knees. I think he was faster
:14:38. > :14:41.than me. There are amazing people. You are quite right. It is
:14:42. > :14:48.extraordinary. They make so much money for charity. The other thing
:14:49. > :14:54.doing it which she realise, the crowd gets you round. The crowd is
:14:55. > :14:58.the most amazing thing. These unbelievably generous people come
:14:59. > :15:06.out and give you Arab oh as he go around. Other suites are available.
:15:07. > :15:09.They give you sugar. Well done to you. There was me saying nobody
:15:10. > :15:13.around the table has done it this year. We will be back at half past
:15:14. > :15:17.11.
