:00:07. > :00:08.Today at 6.00 - the transition of power is underway.

:00:09. > :00:10.France's new president will be formally installed

:00:11. > :00:16.Side by side today, the President-Elect and the outgoing

:00:17. > :00:20.head of state, at a formal ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe

:00:21. > :00:28.to commemorate the end of the Second World War in Europe.

:00:29. > :00:31.As France enjoys a bank holiday, we talk to parents in a Parisian

:00:32. > :00:37.suburb about their thoughts on a Macron presidency.

:00:38. > :00:40.It will be hard for him, because I'm sure lots of people

:00:41. > :00:42.vote for him yesterday, but it's almost

:00:43. > :00:52.The Conservatives say they will stick to their immigration target.

:00:53. > :00:56.Theresa May wants it down to the tens of thousands a year -

:00:57. > :01:02.A new surge in the number of migrants crossing

:01:03. > :01:04.the Mediterranean - more than 7,000 rescued

:01:05. > :01:17.One of the women I see has got a little child with her.

:01:18. > :01:21.Summer isn't here yet, and some rivers are already running dry -

:01:22. > :01:26.fears that we could be heading into a drought.

:01:27. > :01:29.And coming up in the sport on BBC News, can Chelsea relegate

:01:30. > :01:33.Middlesbrough and be just one more win away from the Premier League

:01:34. > :01:35.title with a victory in their meeting tonight

:01:36. > :02:03.Good evening from Paris, where the President-Elect,

:02:04. > :02:05.Emmanuel Macron, has been celebrating his decisive

: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,

:02:13. > :02:15.ahead of his formal inauguration on Sunday.

:02:16. > :02:17.He's already been congratulated by many world leaders, including

:02:18. > :02:21.the British Prime Minister, Theresa May.

:02:22. > :02:25.Mr Macron won with 66.1% of the vote, with Marine Le Pen

:02:26. > :02:34.The turnout was 74%, the lowest in nearly

:02:35. > :02:40.50 years, and around 11.5 million people abstained.

:02:41. > :02:47.Earlier today, Mr Macron and President Hollande appeared side

:02:48. > :02:49.by side at a ceremony here at the Arc de Triomphe,

:02:50. > :02:52.to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe.

:02:53. > :02:55.After a bitter and divisive campaign, Mr Macron has promised

:02:56. > :02:59.to fight the "forces of division that undermine France".

:03:00. > :03:12.Our Europe editor, Katya Adler, reports on the day's events.

:03:13. > :03:24.It's been a day of reflection in France. Paying tribute to World War

:03:25. > :03:32.II fallen. Taking stock of fresh challenges ahead. France's brand-new

:03:33. > :03:35.President-Elect here at VE Day commemorations, taking his cue from

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

:03:43. > :03:47.youngest ever president looked a little unsure last night as well.

: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.

:10:16. > :10:17.Police in Liverpool say a two-year-old girl who was attacked

:10:18. > :10:21.by dogs has had surgery for "extensive injuries

:10:22. > :10:27.The little girl was at her aunt's house when the dogs got

:10:28. > :10:30.Officers have arrested a man and seized 11 dogs

:10:31. > :10:32.from a nearby house - as our correspondent

:10:33. > :10:35.The two-year-old girl was playing with other children in the garden

:10:36. > :10:38.of a relative's home when she was attacked

:10:39. > :10:41.She was taken by air ambulance to Liverpool's Alder Hey Hospital

:10:42. > :10:44.after suffering injuries to her head and body during the

:10:45. > :10:47.The little girl's aunt, who was looking after the children

:10:48. > :10:49.for the afternoon, fought off the attack and ran to

:10:50. > :10:55.Neighbours describe hearing a scream, "The dog's got the baby".

:10:56. > :10:58.Merseyside Police believe the dogs managed to get into the garden

:10:59. > :11:04.A man who is 35 was arrested on suspicion of having dogs

:11:05. > :11:13.There were five adults and six puppies in the address next door.

:11:14. > :11:16.We don't know exactly where they were but we know

:11:17. > :11:19.they were either in the house or in the garden of a property

:11:20. > :11:21.nearby to the one where the child was attacked.

:11:22. > :11:24.The girl is said to be serious but stable in hospital, but not

:11:25. > :11:38.Now, in a move to tackle childhood obesity, Labour says it will bring

:11:39. > :11:41.in a total ban on TV adverts for junk food before

:11:42. > :11:44.The current rules, which the Conservatives argue

:11:45. > :11:46.are the strictest in the world, prevent adverts for products high

:11:47. > :11:50.in fat, salt or sugar from being run around children's TV programmes.

:11:51. > :12:00.Labour's John Ashworth was back at school today,

:12:01. > :12:02.learning with pupils how to prepare healthy food.

:12:03. > :12:05.If the party's elected, he says there will be a new strategy

:12:06. > :12:09.aimed at halving childhood obesity in ten years.

:12:10. > :12:12.We want to have the healthiest children in the world.

: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.

:12:17. > :12:20.Labour wants to spend ?250 million a year more

:12:21. > :12:22.on public health in England, including more nurses

:12:23. > :12:25.in schools and getting every government department to help

:12:26. > :12:30.Last year, 40% of children in England's most deprived areas

:12:31. > :12:32.were overweight or obese, compared to 27% in the

:12:33. > :12:40.But it is worth noting the UK as a whole has some of the lowest

:12:41. > :12:44.rates of tooth decay in 12-year-olds in Europe.

:12:45. > :12:47.Many schools are doing everything they can to promote healthy

:12:48. > :12:49.lifestyles for pupils, whether it is through

:12:50. > :12:53.exercise in the playground or the quality of meals on offer.

: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.

:13:33. > :13:35.If it is not in their heads, they probably won't go looking for

:13:36. > :13:40.But the advertising industry says it would hit TV companies hard.

:13:41. > :13:43.This is about free-to-air TV in most instances.

:13:44. > :13:46.It is about the programmes that we all enjoy and if there's

:13:47. > :13:48.less money around to make those programmes, we are all

:13:49. > :13:52.The Conservatives said the government's childhood obesity

:13:53. > :13:56.plan was one of the most ambitious in the world and the UK already had

:13:57. > :13:59.one of the strictest TV advertising regimes.

:14:00. > :14:02.They said Labour's promises were unfunded.

:14:03. > :14:10.Theresa May has confirmed that the Conservatives will stick

:14:11. > :14:14.to their target of reducing immigration to tens

: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.

:14:25. > :14:33.Here's our political editor, Laura Kuennsberg.

:14:34. > :14:41.They couldn't leap to their feet fast enough. Ministers and wannabe

:14:42. > :14:45.MPs gathered in Harrow in north-west London, exactly the kind of closely

:14:46. > :14:50.fought seat where they believe they have a chance. Great to be with you

: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

:17:48. > :17:49.parties are ready with their final manifestos. It is only then we will

:17:50. > :17:54.see exactly what promises they are willing to make in black and white

:17:55. > :17:57.but it is absolutely clear however unworkable, however discredited,

:17:58. > :18:03.Theresa May is adamant she will stick to her immigration target. But

:18:04. > :18:04.how she plans to get there? We are still in the dark. Laura Kuenssberg,

:18:05. > :18:08.BBC News, Harrow. The transition of power

:18:52. > :18:56.That's according to the Italian coast guard.

:19:07. > :19:11.The BBC's Reeta Chakrabarti has spent the last week on a rescue ship

:19:12. > :19:14.and joins us live from Vibo Valentia in Southern Italy.

:19:15. > :19:29.George, spring is here, the seas are calmer and the migrant boats are

:19:30. > :19:32.coming again and in major numbers. The Easter weekend saw over 8000

:19:33. > :19:38.people make this lethally dangerous crossing and this weekend, similar

:19:39. > :19:45.numbers. This aid ship that I am an brought over 500 people from that

:19:46. > :19:49.rescue zone to this Italian port and a charity Save The Children said was

:19:50. > :19:51.their biggest operation yet. Seven uneventful days at sea

:19:52. > :19:54.with the rescue mission, We have two rowing boats,

:19:55. > :20:00.possibly also one other boat. Team, please prepare

:20:01. > :20:03.on deck for rescue. A scene, said the crew,

:20:04. > :20:07.like never before. First two, then three,

:20:08. > :20:09.then, as we were spotted, more and yet more boatloads

:20:10. > :20:13.of people veering towards us, One woman I have seen has

:20:14. > :20:29.got a child with her. This toddler named Blessing is one

:20:30. > :20:33.of the tiniest travellers. Her mother, Joy, who's Nigerian,

:20:34. > :20:37.said she risked the journey because she could not return

:20:38. > :20:39.to her home country. She'd been working in Libya,

:20:40. > :20:42.where she was repeatedly kidnapped I asked her what she hoped

:20:43. > :21:11.for from the future. Blessing is happily ignorant

:21:12. > :21:13.of her mother's grief and oblivious to the peril

:21:14. > :21:16.that she has just faced. Goodness knows how many people

:21:17. > :21:22.are crammed into that rubber dinghy. The vast majority on board are men

:21:23. > :21:30.of working age from West There are many factors driving them

:21:31. > :21:38.but the turmoil in Libya is key. Last year broke records

:21:39. > :21:42.for the number of migrants making the crossing and this year looks set

:21:43. > :21:46.to top that. Italy has borne the weight

:21:47. > :21:49.of housing and caring for them, but opinion is hardening,

:21:50. > :21:51.with claims that these rescue missions are a taxi service

:23:18. > :23:20.expect to see in summer but in some parts of the UK,

:23:21. > :23:22.rivers are running dry This Met Office map of rainfall

:23:23. > :23:28.in April shows that most of the UK experienced less than half

:24:22. > :24:28.drier because we are actually noticing sheep that actually come

:24:40. > :24:41.of little springs and streams and things like that,

:24:42. > :24:43.which suggests that there isn't as much water up there as what there

:24:44. > :24:48.has been in other times. These pictures were taken around

:24:49. > :24:54.England over the last few days, showing rivers many miles apart

:24:55. > :24:59.in a similar condition. But Yorkshire Water says there

: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

:25:37. > :25:39.change things but it Danny Savage, BBC News,

: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

:27:33. > :27:35.Glasgow, 16 degrees. Friday, weather fronts moving through and potential

: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.
