:02:06. > :02:09.victory over Marine Le Pen in yesterday's election,
:02:10. > :02:12.and he's already started work on forming his government,

:03:36. > :03:42.outgoing head of state, Francois Hollande. France's soon to be

:03:48. > :03:51.Rehearsing for his new role, as he prepared for his first public
:03:52. > :03:58.appearance. But by the time he took to the stage Emmanuel Macron had a
:03:59. > :04:05.confident, for many controversial, message, and to the tune of the EU
:04:06. > :04:15.anthem, he said Europe was the future of the new dynamic France.
:04:16. > :04:22.Leading Europhiles are delighted. If in understated tones.
:04:23. > :04:28.TRANSLATION: Emmanuel Macron carries the hopes of millions in France and
:04:29. > :04:34.across Europe. He led a courageous, pro-European campaign, and stands
:04:35. > :04:39.for openness in the world. Emmanuel Macron has raised high expectations,
:04:40. > :04:44.promising many things to many people, to dramatically reform
:04:45. > :04:49.France, caring for the fragile while boosting business, and to be very
:04:50. > :04:53.tough on Brexit, but he doesn't have his own government or MPs in
:04:54. > :04:59.Parliament, so is he flexing muscles he doesn't yet have? France's
:05:00. > :05:09.President-Elect has made Brexit threats aplenty. Damp and desperate
:05:10. > :05:13.in Calais today. After Brexit, Mr Macron has vowed to tear up an
:05:14. > :05:18.agreement where France prevents thousands of migrants making their
:05:19. > :05:21.way to Dover each year. And he's talked of luring banks and
:05:22. > :05:28.businesses from the City of London this side of the channel. At a
:05:29. > :05:32.campaign event in London today, the Prime Minister said Mr Macron's
:05:33. > :05:38.Brexit ambitions must be matched. He was elected with a strong mandate,
:05:39. > :05:44.which gives him a strong position in the negotiations. In the UK, we need
:05:45. > :05:53.to ensure we have an equally strong mandate, and an equally strong
:05:54. > :05:57.negotiating position. But domestic discontent, not Brexit, will be Mr
:05:58. > :06:05.Macron's main focus. This was a trade union demonstration earlier
:06:06. > :06:10.today. Macron was foisted on us by banks, lobbies and the EU elite, she
:06:11. > :06:15.says. He doesn't represent much of France. As a centrist politician,
:06:16. > :06:20.Emmanuel Macron faces opposition left and right. Only weeks away from
:06:21. > :06:25.a crucial parliamentary election. Despite all the lively
:06:26. > :06:27.celebrations we saw last night, when Emmanuel Macron
:06:28. > :06:29.greeted his supporters after the result was declared,
:06:30. > :06:32.and despite his very decisive margin of victory, there are revealing
:06:33. > :06:35.trends among those who voted for him in yesterday's run-off
:06:36. > :06:37.against Marine Le Pen. There is in some quarters a real
:06:38. > :06:40.sense of voting against Le Pen rather than for Macron,
:06:41. > :06:42.so to find out more, earlier today I went to one
:06:43. > :06:45.of the Parisian suburbs to meet some parents at a junior
:06:46. > :06:51.football tournament in the city. It's the annual Bank Holiday
:06:52. > :06:53.football tournament in this eastern suburb of Paris,
:06:54. > :06:56.a typically diverse community on the outskirts of the capital,
:06:57. > :07:00.and where the reaction on the terraces to yesterday's
:07:01. > :07:03.election seems to be more I'm sure that lots of people vote
:07:04. > :07:11.for him yesterday, but it's almost against Marine Le Pen,
:07:12. > :07:16.and he's young, and he doesn't have any past...
:07:17. > :07:20.Experience? Experience, so it might
:07:21. > :07:22.be difficult for him. It is a complex picture, even
:07:23. > :07:29.in a mixed community like this one. One of the coaches -
:07:30. > :07:32.who left his ballot paper blank, by the way -
:07:33. > :07:34.told me that the issue of immigration and social
:07:35. > :07:37.integration raised by Le Pen had TRANSLATION: It is a big problem,
:07:38. > :07:44.even for established Foreigners coming to France these
:07:45. > :07:51.days just aren't able to integrate. That doesn't mean all
:07:52. > :07:59.of them are racist. And it is abundantly clear
:08:00. > :08:02.that it was fear of a Le Pen presidency more than anything else
:08:03. > :08:05.that drove many people to vote TRANSLATION: I'm very
:08:06. > :08:12.happy it wasn't Le Pen, As most people will tell you,
:08:13. > :08:17.this election was about voting There had been talk
:08:18. > :08:25.on the left of sitting it out, of refusing to take part,
:08:26. > :08:27.and while some certainly did, it didn't change
:08:28. > :08:32.the dynamics of the 2017 race. I have some friends from the left,
:08:33. > :08:35.from the right, and everybody The first time that,
:08:36. > :08:44.when I have lunch with people, everybody agree to vote
:08:45. > :08:48.for that man. And in this Parisian
:08:49. > :08:50.suburb, another element If Macron gets it wrong, Le Pen
:08:51. > :08:57.will be back in five years' time, probably with
:08:58. > :09:04.a very different result. Our Paris correspondent,
:09:05. > :09:16.Lucy Williamson, is with me. Can we talk about the challenges
:09:17. > :09:20.ahead for Mr Macron? He's in an unusual position, because he will
:09:21. > :09:26.have to create a government pretty much from scratch. His on Marsh
:09:27. > :09:30.movement is a year old, and he doesn't have much experience. So he
:09:31. > :09:34.will have to create a fairly complex government, with a mix of right and
:09:35. > :09:42.left, and who we will need a Prime Minister who can hold that together.
:09:43. > :09:46.He has someone in mind, but he is going to have to do well in next
:09:47. > :09:51.month's elections. En marche is to knew at the moment, that they are
:09:52. > :09:59.fielding candidates to try to get a strong coalition, is not a majority.
:10:00. > :10:04.Thank you. And underlining the challenges ahead, just six days to
:10:05. > :10:08.go before Mr Macron is installed officially at the Elysee Palace as
:10:09. > :10:15.president. That's all from us. In the meantime, back to George.

:12:13. > :12:14.Yes, that is an ambitious target but to be frank,
:12:15. > :12:16.I'm ambitious for the children of this country.

:12:54. > :12:56.The really big problem is what happens beyond the school gate,
:12:57. > :13:01.when children and their parents choose what they eat and drink.
:13:02. > :13:06.Labour thinks one answer is to ban TV advertising like this
:13:07. > :13:09.on all programmes before 9pm for food and drinks which are high
:13:10. > :13:16.Currently, it is barred for children's TV.
:13:17. > :13:20.So how did that go down with parents we talked to today?
:13:21. > :13:23.Well, it's a laudable idea but I can't see it
:13:24. > :13:24.making much difference, to be honest.
:13:25. > :13:27.The stuff is still in the supermarkets and shops.
:13:28. > :13:32.I think the kids are eating too much junk anyway.

:14:15. > :14:17.It's a pledge which has been repeatedly missed,
:14:18. > :14:19.with numbers in the hundreds of thousands instead.
:14:20. > :14:21.Meanwhile, Ukip has said it wants to cut immigration altogether over
:14:22. > :14:24.a five-year period with what it calls a "one in, one out" policy.

:14:51. > :14:57.all this morning, as we move into the next phase of this vitally
:14:58. > :15:00.important general election campaign. But it was Team to Reza who year
:15:01. > :15:04.after year missed their target for net immigration which has been three
:15:05. > :15:08.times higher than the limit of 100,000. What is the point of
:15:09. > :15:12.sticking to an immigration target that many of your colleagues think
:15:13. > :15:15.is unworkable, some people even think it is pointless, and when you
:15:16. > :15:20.were in charge as Home Secretary, the target has been missed for six
:15:21. > :15:24.years. We want to bring net migration down to sustainable
:15:25. > :15:31.levels. We believe that if the tens of thousands and of course, once we
:15:32. > :15:34.leave the European Union, we will have the opportunity to ensure we
:15:35. > :15:39.have control of our borders here in the UK. So the target space but note
:15:40. > :15:43.you did not hear a deadline. Three Cabinet ministers here, why should
:15:44. > :15:48.voters believe the Prime Minister will meet the immigration target
:15:49. > :15:51.when she did not when she was Home Secretary for six years? She's made
:15:52. > :15:54.it very clear that when we leave the European Union, things change.
:15:55. > :15:57.Michael Green she will see the policies bring. But her record as
:15:58. > :16:02.Home Secretary was you missed the target for six years. I think you
:16:03. > :16:05.look at her record as Home Secretary, you will find you
:16:06. > :16:10.achieved great things. It wouldn't be a British campaign without a
:16:11. > :16:14.banana somewhere. Whatever point this voter in Leamington spa was
:16:15. > :16:18.trying to make. Labour does not put a number on its immigration plans
:16:19. > :16:23.but say the target just does not work. Theresa May made that promise
:16:24. > :16:27.in 2010 at the same in 2015 and did not get anywhere near it on any
:16:28. > :16:31.occasion at all. Obviously, our manifesto will set out our policy
:16:32. > :16:36.when it is produced. Ukip has its own new idea for tighter control,
:16:37. > :16:45.one in, one out. Ukip will go into this election with a policy of
:16:46. > :16:55.balanced migration, which means zero net immigration over the next five
:16:56. > :17:00.years. Scotland's First Minister, pulling pints in Perth, wants power
:17:01. > :17:03.over immigration in Edinburgh. Having a Tory target that is not
:17:04. > :17:07.practical, will not be met but is driven by ideology, will harm the
:17:08. > :17:10.economy and it is another reason why it is important that we have MPs in
:17:11. > :17:17.this election standing up for Scotland's interests. I have got my
:17:18. > :17:21.running kit with me. Close by, the Lib Dems were of the votes in Saint
:17:22. > :17:25.Andrews. It was policy during the coalition but they are unimpressed
:17:26. > :17:29.today. Don't set a silly, artificial target that you know you will break
:17:30. > :17:35.just because it will please a couple of newspapers. Yet the target will
:17:36. > :17:38.say, -- stay, easier to hit, in theory after Brexit but no
:17:39. > :17:45.explanation from the Tories so far of what they will do in practice. We
:17:46. > :17:47.are in rather a no man's land, the time before the main political

:25:00. > :25:02.should not be widespread alarm. I think nationally,
:25:03. > :25:06.it's been very dry. Up in Yorkshire, I think it
:25:07. > :25:09.has been a dry winter, probably the driest in the last six
:25:10. > :25:13.years but we have seen recharge. Sort of, every other month,
:25:14. > :25:15.we have seen some rainfall but in the last six weeks,
:25:16. > :25:18.we have just seen dry. A few dry months does not
:25:19. > :25:21.make a drought, though. It may be bone dry in some
:25:22. > :25:24.of the headwaters of these river catchments but we are a long way
:25:25. > :25:30.from a water crisis. A few miles down the valley,
:25:31. > :25:33.the wharf looks a lot more healthy and reservoir levels
:25:34. > :25:36.are holding up, too. A prolonged dry spell may

:25:59. > :26:02.anyone was complaining in Scotland today that it is dry, absolutely
:26:03. > :26:07.stunning, this is a picture from one of our Weather Watchers from Argyll
:26:08. > :26:11.Bute but look at the contrast. That is not for me, thick cloud and
:26:12. > :26:17.a cold breeze of the North Sea and you can see that distinct difference
:26:18. > :26:21.between the East and the West, which was basking in sunshine across
:26:22. > :26:25.western and northern areas where is eastern areas stayed cool and cloudy
:26:26. > :26:28.and over the next few days, little or no rain so the drive he will
:26:29. > :26:32.continue through most of this week and there is a hint, some rain on
:26:33. > :26:38.the way. Tonight, very little change. Starry skies across many
:26:39. > :26:43.western parts of the UK and thicker cloud across eastern parts. Tomorrow
:26:44. > :26:47.morning, again, starting on a beautiful note so if you live in
:26:48. > :26:50.Glasgow, Belfast, Cardiff, down to Plymouth and the south coast of
:26:51. > :26:54.England, stunning, clear blue skies and nice enough in the afternoon but
:26:55. > :26:59.the Midlands and Eastern counties on the cool and cloudy side, 11 degrees
:27:00. > :27:03.in Norwich and Hull. Tomorrow night into Wednesday, it will be chilly
:27:04. > :27:08.with a grass frost on the way. Wednesday across frost but then
:27:09. > :27:11.really strong sunshine and temperatures shooting back up into
:27:12. > :27:16.the mid-to high teens. Decent day on the way for most of us on Wednesday.
:27:17. > :27:19.Into Thursday, starting to see changes, the atmosphere rearranging
:27:20. > :27:22.itself, shifting a little bit, starting to see cloud streaming in
:27:23. > :27:26.from the south so perhaps thickening cloud and spots of rain in the south
:27:27. > :27:32.but nothing too heavy and still lovely weather across the north of

:27:36. > :27:40.downpours with thunder and lightning and it looks as though the outlook
:27:41. > :27:44.in the next week or so is certainly looking more unsettled so the
:27:45. > :27:48.wellies will be out and the puddles are on the way.
