:00:00. > :00:07.Here is my commode with some thoughts about the latest films in
:00:08. > :00:24.the Film Review. -- Mark Kermode. Hello and welcome to a look at what
:00:25. > :00:26.the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
:00:27. > :00:29.With me are Tim Stanley, Columnist at The Daily Telegraph
:00:30. > :00:31.and Benedicte Paviot, UK Correspondent at the French
:00:32. > :00:39.Welcome to you both. Tomorrow's front pages, then:
:00:40. > :00:41.The Financial Times headlines Emmanuel Macron's victory
:00:42. > :00:43.in the French Presidential election saying his win
:00:44. > :00:50.calling him 'le Big Mac' after he took over 65% of the vote
:00:51. > :00:53.The Guardian says Mr Macron now has to reunite
:00:54. > :00:56.a divided France after the far right Le Pen received more
:00:57. > :01:00.The Times writes Macron received a landslide victory
:01:01. > :01:02.as France elects it's youngest leader since Napoleon.
:01:03. > :01:04.But The Telegraph warns the Europhile's election
:01:05. > :01:06.could have an affect on Brexit negotiations
:01:07. > :01:10.And the Daily Mail leads with an exclusive in which it
:01:11. > :01:13.says loyalty with an insurer can cost families an extra
:01:14. > :01:30.So it is mostly going to be about Emmanuel Macron, but we will be
:01:31. > :01:36.hearing from Tim and what has been written about John McDonnell, just
:01:37. > :01:46.to be evenhanded. That's start with Emmanuel Macron's victory. He said
:01:47. > :01:50.that he will be stepping down as leader of his party in order to
:01:51. > :01:54.focus on the new job of president. I'm getting into the air drains as
:01:55. > :02:06.it. I'm sensitive about young people doing so much, so young. He is only
:02:07. > :02:10.39! I am 35. I might some day want to be, so I see as competition. His
:02:11. > :02:14.party has only been around for a year. It is really only a movement.
:02:15. > :02:18.It does not have a single seat in Parliament. And yet in this extra
:02:19. > :02:25.ordinary revolution in French politics, seeing off the Gaullists
:02:26. > :02:28.and the Socialists, he went up against Marine Le Pen and took 65%
:02:29. > :02:36.of the vote. It is extraordinary. But the vote was held under unusual
:02:37. > :02:39.circumstances, with the establishment coming around to
:02:40. > :02:44.support him against the National Front. On this basis, does this mean
:02:45. > :02:49.that he really is a vote for change? Or is he simply a reaction by the
:02:50. > :02:57.establishment against the Nationalists. That is the big test.
:02:58. > :03:01.Can he be more than simply be Le Pen candidate? Can he pushed through
:03:02. > :03:07.with his agenda and the more than a protest vote. It is not just a
:03:08. > :03:11.protest against the protest vote or he would not have beaten the
:03:12. > :03:14.candidates in the first one. What is significant and is not being
:03:15. > :03:26.mentioned in these excellent articles I'm seeing, no, let me make
:03:27. > :03:33.a serious point, and that is that France has tried and failed to have
:03:34. > :03:38.primary is that select candidates that when a presidential election.
:03:39. > :03:44.It is an American tradition, fine, but I think it has shown that it has
:03:45. > :04:05.not worked very significantly in France, and that is the fact that
:04:06. > :04:11.firstly Le -- right has chosen him over Alain Juppe. It was first
:04:12. > :04:16.thought that Alain Juppe's politics would appeal to a wider range, not
:04:17. > :04:23.just on the right, but also on the left. No, it was Francois Fillon who
:04:24. > :04:29.was chosen. Then the Socialists chose somebody who was very much on
:04:30. > :04:34.the very left of the left. And this man, a manual micron, who was in the
:04:35. > :04:41.Socialist government, who was finance minister for two years, and
:04:42. > :04:44.was financial adviser for President Hollande, he has won the election
:04:45. > :04:50.fair and square. Not just because he is offering something different. Not
:04:51. > :04:58.because he is a protest vote to Le Pen, but because the centre ground
:04:59. > :05:03.was freed by the beleaguered Francois Fillon, with allegations of
:05:04. > :05:07.misuse of funds, allegedly, for employing member of his family...
:05:08. > :05:11.That left the centre opened for this man to say it is not about left or
:05:12. > :05:13.right but about solutions for the country.
:05:14. > :05:29.We do have to show the papers are sometime. Let's just go to the
:05:30. > :05:35.Times. It is a fascinating analysis. The evocation of the Republicans
:05:36. > :05:41.choosing Donald Trump is that they are talking to extremes. Only
:05:42. > :05:44.Clinton was not, because they chose her over Bernie Sanders. This
:05:45. > :05:48.suggests this system is not not working, but that voters are
:05:49. > :06:00.responding to stresses that are real. They are reacting to left
:06:01. > :06:06.austerity, or the right, with immigration. You have the resurgent
:06:07. > :06:11.hard left. You had a Catholic right in Francois Fillon. They went with
:06:12. > :06:17.this chap. But don't forget that he needed about 24% in the first round.
:06:18. > :06:24.I was at about to forget it. But to imply that he won the first round...
:06:25. > :06:31.He did, but by default, because all the other options divide up the
:06:32. > :06:41.vote. He won a plurality, but a low variety. Cloud over Brexit. Our
:06:42. > :06:52.Prime Minister has been on the phone to Emmanuel Macron to congratulate
:06:53. > :06:57.him. The statement says that the leaders discussed Brexit and that
:06:58. > :07:08.the Prime Minister emphasised that Britain wants a secure relationship
:07:09. > :07:12.with the EU after we leave. They have met in Downing Street because
:07:13. > :07:20.Theresa May actually invited him to come and meet her in Downing Street.
:07:21. > :07:24.That was in February. And it will be interesting to see how that
:07:25. > :07:29.relationship develops. And what policies come out of it. There is
:07:30. > :07:33.the small matter of things like, well, Brexit, but also, of course,
:07:34. > :07:38.about immigration and Borders, and for example what will be happening
:07:39. > :07:44.around the Channel Tunnel and so on. But of course, France and Britain
:07:45. > :07:52.co-operate on a variety of things. So there is a connection, even if
:07:53. > :07:58.the relationship is occasionally tested. And it will be tested by
:07:59. > :08:05.Brexit. And let's remember that this May chose not to meet Marine Le Pen
:08:06. > :08:18.will stop even after she was pressed to do so. -- Mrs May. She did not
:08:19. > :08:25.meet marina plan. -- Marine Le Pen. Marine Le Pen defeated, but
:08:26. > :08:29.negotiations to become tougher? This an interesting question. Has
:08:30. > :08:35.populism been stopped. Obviously, lastly we had Brexit, and then
:08:36. > :08:40.trump. Some people say there was a momentum across the world for
:08:41. > :08:44.populism, nationalism, and conservatism. And then go to
:08:45. > :08:52.builders did not do so well. To me, what that tells me is that every
:08:53. > :08:55.election is different. -- Geert Wilders. There are always local
:08:56. > :09:01.factors on the ground and each context is different. Even if some
:09:02. > :09:06.of those people see themselves as having something in common.
:09:07. > :09:11.Obviously, Donald Trump, he was seen as in favour of Marine Le Pen. But
:09:12. > :09:16.the choice is different. Ultimately, Donald Trump was embraced by the
:09:17. > :09:25.Republican Party. Now he is being slowly absorbed by it. By contrast,
:09:26. > :09:30.the Marine Le Pen challenge, the pitch, that was a far right one,
:09:31. > :09:34.which posed a much bigger challenge to European citizen than either
:09:35. > :09:38.Brexit or Donald Trump. Do you think that Donald Trump is good to be a
:09:39. > :09:48.run-of-the-mill republican president? That is what he is being
:09:49. > :09:53.turned into. He has really been sending out missiles in the case of
:09:54. > :10:00.Syria, his foreign policy is fairly said. And what is he focusing on?
:10:01. > :10:09.Obamacare repeal and tax cuts. That is basic Republican stuff. Now he's
:10:10. > :10:13.the White House, he is not a strong right leader. But we have the
:10:14. > :10:26.Parliamentary elections coming up soon. That is right. Well, a French
:10:27. > :10:31.president is the head of policy. Or she, it could have been. We have not
:10:32. > :10:37.had a fever president, yet. And we don't again, tonight. We have a
:10:38. > :10:42.young 39-year-old. -- female president. He has the power to
:10:43. > :10:47.appoint a Prime Minister to dissolve the government and governed by
:10:48. > :10:51.decree. So in case of real emergencies and war. And also to
:10:52. > :11:00.declare war. So he is not at that stage. We are going to see the
:11:01. > :11:08.transfer of power from the outgoing Socialist leader to this address. He
:11:09. > :11:13.will need support. He's getting it from the Socialist. In the large
:11:14. > :11:19.part. Not on the extreme left. We will see what happens there. He has
:11:20. > :11:26.had in this campaign and we need to see continued support from the
:11:27. > :11:31.Republicans. He will not be to introduce the reforms that he says
:11:32. > :11:39.he really wants to introduce. The Telegraph is where we finish. John
:11:40. > :11:47.McDonnell resists attempts to oust him. He is the right-hand man to
:11:48. > :12:01.Jeremy Corbyn. He praised Karl Marx's cellar work. I wrote about
:12:02. > :12:08.this. -- salmon all. -- seminal work. He said he is not the
:12:09. > :12:15.Socialist, but he said that he believed that people could learn a
:12:16. > :12:23.lot from Das Kapital. He said earlier that he was a Marxist. So
:12:24. > :12:27.what changed his mind? They do say that as you get older, you do get
:12:28. > :12:30.more right wing. So maybe has moved back more to the centre-left. I
:12:31. > :12:35.think that is unlikely. He also said in this interview, which I find
:12:36. > :12:39.fascinating, is that he is said that if he is elected, he will be the
:12:40. > :12:48.first Socialist Chancellor in the Labour tradition. He believes that
:12:49. > :12:52.those who came before him were not true socialist, and he will be the
:12:53. > :12:57.real thing. So on the one hand, he says that he is not a Marxist, but
:12:58. > :13:01.advises people to read Das Kapital. So we can recently in so that the
:13:02. > :13:06.answer to the question is that yes, he is a Marxist. Other people in the
:13:07. > :13:14.party are not happy with this. No, indeed. And indeed, your colleagues
:13:15. > :13:21.say that he faces a labour revolt. -- Labour. That is it fought the
:13:22. > :13:27.paper Sanaya. Don't forget all the pages online seven days a week. Go
:13:28. > :13:34.to our website. -- that is all fought the papers, tonight. Or the
:13:35. > :13:39.papers publish shortly after we finish. This programme is also on
:13:40. > :13:45.the eye player. There is the address. You know it better than I
:13:46. > :13:50.do. Do buy a newspaper tomorrow. I don't mind which one. Give us a bit
:13:51. > :13:58.of talk about. -- iPlayer. They give a much for joining us. Coming up
:13:59. > :13:59.next, the Film Review. -- thank you very much.
