On the eve of election day in France, hackers release a trove | :00:00. | :00:15. | |
of documents targeting Emmanuel Macron's team. | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
New protests in Venezuela as US officials meet with the Leader | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
So near and yet so far - Kenya's Kipchoge runs the fastest | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
marathon in history, but WON'T get into the record books. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
And - it's something the fashion world has been criticised | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
for time and time again - thin models. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Hello and welcome to World News Today. | :00:42. | :00:58. | |
With less than 12 hours to go before voting starts, | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
France's Election Authority - has warned the media | :01:05. | :01:07. | |
against spreading information hacked from the campaign of the centrist | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
Aides to Mr Macron say the hacking attack was intended | :01:10. | :01:17. | |
James Reynolds has sent this report. | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
Emmanuel Macron arrived last night for his final interview, | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
assuming that his campaign was basically done. | :01:27. | :01:33. | |
But whilst he was speaking, documents stolen from his team were | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
Coming in the last hour, his team said this | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
intervention is an attempt to destabilise democracy, as happened | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
In the past, Emmanuel Macron said that | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Russian-backed hackers were out to get him. | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
One cyber expert said this hack looks different. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
It is very low-level, compared with what they | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
That was a highly creative and high-end information war | :02:08. | :02:15. | |
What we are witnessing now is very low-end, very amateurish. | :02:16. | :02:24. | |
But many French people braving the Saturday drizzle do not know | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
On this, the day before the vote, the French media is | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
banned from doing any in-depth political reporting. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
It shows Emanuel Macron has capable enemies. | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
It may not change the course of this election. | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
Many French people have already decided which way they will vote. | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
And some have already cast their ballots. | :02:52. | :02:53. | |
These French citizens in Canada have made an early start. | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
47 million voters here in France will soon follow. | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
So how is that data leak affecting the mood in France? | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Our correspondent Karin Gianone is in Paris. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Already this election had been an extraordinary one. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Who in France would have imagined that on the eve of the second | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
round of its presidential election we could have ended up | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
with these two candidates, the far right Marine Le Pen, | :03:23. | :03:25. | |
and Emmanuel Macron, the centrist candidate, | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
who only set up his campaign in the last few months? | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
But in the very last hours, at this latest twist came. This massive dump | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
of date her. I have been talking | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
about this with my guest, Tristan Mendes France, | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
an expert in social media at As far as we know, there was a leak | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
on a forum last night at 8:30pm, and those documents became viral | :03:51. | :04:01. | |
half an hour later on social media. Today there is a hashtag | :04:02. | :04:10. | |
called #Macronleaks, As for the timing, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
it is rather strange. It came hours before | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
all the restrictions about what you can say | :04:20. | :04:22. | |
about the election came into force. It means that neither candidate can | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
comment on the content of this. Nobody understands why, | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
just two days before the presidential election, | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
it has come out. There is supposedly | :04:34. | :04:36. | |
a huge amount of data. It cannot be processed in 48 hours, | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
so it's impossible for anybody to estimate the damage that | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
could come out of it. I don't think it will impact | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
tomorrow's election, but it might impact later, | :04:50. | :04:57. | |
specifically in a month, for the election of the members of | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
Parliament. So perhaps it's too late | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
to do anything tangible for the presidential election | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
tomorrow, but in six weeks' time, we have this key vote that | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
Emmanuel Macron is counting You think that could | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
make a difference? There could be one month | :05:12. | :05:23. | |
of smear campaign, extracted from the information in those | :05:24. | :05:25. | |
documents that have linked, and that could be problematic | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
for Macron if he becomes elected. If he doesn't get a majority, | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
how will he implement his policy? In terms of the origin of this | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
attack, there have been allegations against Kremlin-backed agents | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
previously targeting Everybody is looking | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
towards the Kremlin, Nobody will ever have | :05:44. | :05:55. | |
absolute proof, only hints. The French Electoral Commission has | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
come out very strongly, telling the media and people | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
using social media that they mustn't It's a question of legality, | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
but it's pointless today. The environment online | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
has no frontier. Even French-speaking media | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
in Belgium are able to speak about this horrible story, | :06:24. | :06:25. | |
so I understand the French position, That was Tristan Mendes France, | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
from the Sorbonne's School That was Tristan Mendes France, from | :06:31. | :06:46. | |
the Sorbonne's School of Journalism. Just to remind you, as we go | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
into Sunday's final vote, An IPSOS poll published | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
in Le Monde newspaper puts Emmanuel Macron, | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
the centrist, on 63%. He is the clear favourite in this | :06:57. | :06:57. | |
presidential election. We will be bringing you special | :06:58. | :07:09. | |
coverage on the BBC of the results as they come out late on Sunday. We | :07:10. | :07:14. | |

Fraser from 7:30pm GMT. Thousands of women have led | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
a march in Venezuela's capital of Caracas in | :07:21. | :07:22. | |
the latest anti-government At least 36 people have been killed | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
and hundreds injured It comes as Donald Trump's national | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
security adviser met with Venezuela's Leader | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
of the Opposition on how to bring The daily wave of protests against | :07:32. | :07:50. | |
the government of Nicolas Maduro continues across Venezuela. In the | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
capital Caracas thousands of women marched on the Defence Ministry, | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
dressed symbolically in white, urging the government to end what | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
they said was the brutal oppression of its opponents and free hundreds | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
of political prisoners. Some of these protesters have husbands and | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
family members in jail, they say in prison for opposing a corrupt | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
regime. But the government and the Armed forces, which remain loyal so | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
far, are not backing off. More than 30 people have been killed in a | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
month of demonstrations. President Maduro has vowed to ride out the | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
storm, accusing Venezuelan's enemies abroad and what he says our business | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
elites at home, waging a campaign of destabilisation. But what should be | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Latin America's wealthiest and most stable nation is punch-drunk from | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
years of instability. Many young people say they have no future here. | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
I knew him for nine years, says this girl who has just buried her friend | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
and fellow youth orchestra member. It hurts me so much to see him taken | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
in the bloom of his life, just 18 years old. Venezuelan has the | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
world's second largest oil reserves, yet in cities across the country, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
people are so poor and hungry, they are looting shops for food, even | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
when there is nothing there for sale. With an inflation rate of | :09:22. | :09:35. | |
900%, Venezuelans are used to queueing for basic goods at | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
subsidised government markets. But food and medicine is scarce. Hugo | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
Chavez's socialist revolution failing the very people who | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
supported it. Thousands remain loyal, and chav is's success in | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
Nicolas Maduro has rejected calls for the release of political | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
prisoners. After a week of increasingly violent protests, | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
opposition leaders met senior members of the Trump administration, | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
Washington accusing Mr Maduro of disregarding the rights of his own | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
people. Let's take a look at some of | :10:05. | :10:06. | |
the other stories making the news... The former head of the Palestinian | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Ismail Haniyeh, | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
has been elected as He succeeds Khaled Meshaal, | :10:13. | :10:14. | |

nothing for granted ahead The Leader of the Opposition Labour | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
party, Jeremy Corbyn, has admitted Tens of thousands of Polish | :10:41. | :10:54. | |
opposition supporters have taken taking part what they called | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
a Freedom March through Warsaw, to protest against what they see | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
as curbs on democracy imposed The opposition has accused | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
the governing party of trying to stack the constitutional tribunal | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
with sympathetic judges and of manipulating radio | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
and television coverage. Pupils from two girls' schools | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
in the Indian capital, Delhi, have been taken to hospital | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
for treatment after a chemical The substance, which is thought | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
to have been used in pesticides, caused eye and throat irritations - | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
as well as breathing difficulties. Police say they'll be | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
taking legal action Our South Asia regional | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
editor, Charles Haviland Details emerged rather slowly | :11:29. | :11:42. | |
throughout Saturday. First we had reports of a few dozen schoolgirls | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
being admitted to hospital for treatment, but later in the day, the | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
official Indian news agency said more than 300 had been admitted, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
from two schools, and several teachers needing treatment. The | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
symptoms were problems with their eyes, throats, and breathing | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
problems, from this leakage from a container truck at some kind of | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
storage depot in Tughlakabad in the south of Delhi. It appears these | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
were chemicals imported from China for use in pesticides. Do we know | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
how some of the victims are? The doctors have been saying from the | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
start that they are OK and no one is in danger. What we heard towards the | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
end of Saturday was that people are being discharged and going home to | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
their families. That seems to be the situation. That said, we have had | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
some people saying they are out of danger, and others simply saying | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
they are stable, which sounds less certain. The Indian media have not | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
given a very full account of what has happened, and haven't prioritise | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
the story very much. These sorts of leagues are not actually unusual in | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
India, are they? They do happen from time to time. There was one of three | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
years ago in Chhattisgarh, with a smaller number of people being | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
affected. There is an issue in India with supervision. The police have | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
said that legal action will be taken in this case because Hazard | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
materials were not being stored responsibly. Others are saying that | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
this material should not be close to these schools at all. | :13:28. | :13:29. | |

New protests in Venezuela as US officials meet with the Leader | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
There's been a reduction in fighting in Syria since a Russian-led | :15:08. | :15:25. | |
initiative took effect - to halt the country's six-year war. | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
The Russian defence ministry says it has registered 15 violations | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
Also, Russia and the United States have agreed to resume the operation | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
of a bilateral memorandum to prevent mid-air clashes in | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
Syrian government aircraft in action. There are reports of | :15:38. | :15:56. | |
shelling and gunfire elsewhere in the country, but the violence has | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
eased following the international plan to create for de-escalates a | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
Sion Jones inside Syria. Russian and US staff have... In a phone call, | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
representatives agreed to work on additional measures. Russia says a | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
new initiative to create demilitarised areas in Syria can | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
pave the way towards more substantive negotiations. | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
TRANSLATION: The most important thing is that the implementation of | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
the memorandum can help cease the military action and therefore end | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
the Syrian crisis at a practical level. The initiative is of | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
significant meaning to the political process in Syria. The deal to create | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
de-escalation zones in the major areas of conflict in Syria took | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
effect in midnight on Friday. The initiative was proposed by Russia, | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
President Bashar al-Assad's most powerful ally. It is backed by | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
Turkey and Iran. With the deal coming from two strong back backers | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
of the regime, some say they are not too confident about it. | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
TRANSLATION: The revolution is very damaged. It is strangled, and the | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Syrian people are killed in these so-called de-escalation zones. The | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
regime and the Russians are the only beneficiaries. Failure of peace | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
efforts are familiar story in this conflict that has claimed 300,000 | :17:38. | :17:45. | |
lives since 2012. So how effective the current plan will prove to be is | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
highly uncertain. The Nigerian government says 82 | :17:48. | :17:58. | |
girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in northern Nigeria have been released. | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
The girls were among about 220 students abducted from a secondary | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
school in the north-east of the country in 2014. That story is | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
breaking at the moment, so we will bring you more details when we have | :18:13. | :18:14. | |
them. Now some sport. Here is James. Barcelona and Real Madrid are both | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
still battling it out Barcelona surged three points clear | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
of Real with a thumping 4-1 win Lionel Messi scored twice | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
and there was one each Real though look certain to go | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
back level on points - they're currently winning 4-0 | :18:31. | :18:35. | |
at already relegated Granada. Swansea have moved out of the bottom | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
three in the Premier League after a 1-0 win over Everton | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
at the Liberty stadium Fernando Llorente got the crucial | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
goal in the 29th minute, It was the Spaniard's 13th league | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
goal of the season and it Swansea's win means that Hull drop | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
into the relegation zone - they lost 2-0 at home to already | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
relegated Sunderland. Billy Jones and Jermaine Defoe | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
scored for the Black Cats. It was Marco Silva's first | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
experience of a home defeat in three To lose our focus like we did in the | :19:19. | :19:30. | |
second half, and we conceded two goals and set pieces. That's our | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
problem. It's like you come to the past again. Our team in the past | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
conceded too many goals in set pieces, because they lost focus, and | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
that happened this afternoon. The second goal was offside again, and | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
the referee didn't see. That is football, and now is the moment to | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
rest, to analyse what happened, and prepare for the next. | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
Here are the rest of the day's Premier League scores. | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
Crystal Palace still aren't safe from relegation after being thrashed | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
City move up the third in the race for a Champions League place. | :20:08. | :20:19. | |
Tyson Fury has said he'd easily beat unified heavyweight champion | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
Anthony Joshua should the pair meet in the ring. | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Fury has dealt with depression and lost his boxing | :20:27. | :20:34. | |
licence after beating Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. | :20:35. | :20:36. | |
Fury says he'll be back fighting in July, on the undercard | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
at London's Copper Box Arena, IF his licence is reinstated | :20:40. | :20:41. | |
by the British Boxing Board of Control. | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
He clearly has scant regard for Joshua. | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
I can play with that body-builder like a cat playing with a ball of | :20:49. | :20:58. | |
wool. And if I get hit, I will be highly, highly disappointed. If you | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
can even land a blow on me. Never mind beat me. | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
An attempt to run the first sub-2 hour marathon has failed. | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
There were no spectators, just a small number of journalists, | :21:08. | :21:09. | |
allowed to attend the event on the Monza racetrack in Italy. | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
Only one of the three men taking part, Eliud Kipchoge, | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
the Olympic champion, came close to the two hour | :21:15. | :21:16. | |
mark, crossing the line in two hours 25 seconds. | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
And although it's the fastest marathon in history - | :21:20. | :21:22. | |
it won't be counted as an official record, because of the use | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
The name was to bring about 10 billion people, and knock out the | :21:27. | :21:50. | |
third set. 12 marathons in 12 hours is impossible. So to pass that | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
message is really important to me. That's why I was pushing to prove | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
that there is no human who has limitations. He is averaging 17 | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
seconds that every 100 metres he runs. That is remarkable. That is | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
all the sport for now. A law in France banning the use | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
of extremely thin fashion models Models working there need to provide | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
a doctor's certificate attesting to their overall physical health, | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
with special regard Digitally altered photos will also | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
have to be labelled from October. Earlier I spoke to Debra Bourne | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
from the campaign group "all walks beyond the catwalk", | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
I asked her The important thing is the serious | :22:30. | :22:44. | |
message it sends out to the fashion industry. I don't know how they can | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
keep it. Will they send a police officer to every photographic studio | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
in Paris what is interesting is the doctors note. This would be valid | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
for two years, and as all women know, your weight fluctuates a lot | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
over two years. Yes. There's some real problems here in terms of the | :23:08. | :23:12. | |
actual strategy and day-to-day managing of this law. I don't know. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
I don't know if it exists when French brands shoot outside of | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
London. Many campaigns are shot in New York, the Caribbean, London. But | :23:23. | :23:29. | |
the government has done something that is sending out a very clear | :23:30. | :23:35. | |
message. Paris has a reputation in the industry in terms of casting for | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
putting very skinny models on the catwalk, and that is serious. What | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
is your opinion on the labelling of digitally enhanced photos? I think | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
it's great. I was part of a government round table on body | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
confidence, and this is something we discussed in the UK about bringing | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
this in with a kite marking system. It makes it very clear to the | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
consumer that this is an animation, that photo is that they could think | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
were real have been enhanced and touched up and changed, and people's | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
body shapes have changed. I would like to see a world where that | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
doesn't happen at all, and where our imagery is far more real, but given | :24:20. | :24:31. | |
that we have to change things step-by-step, it is a fantastic move | :24:32. | :24:33. | |
forward. France is blazing a trail here with this policy, but isn't it | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
down to the individual models and a cultural shift within the industry | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
itself? It is, but the model in this picture looks like the most powerful | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
person in this planet, but in truth, these are teenage girls, young, | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
impressionable women, surrounded by people in the studio, trying to | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
adhere to a system they might not agree with, and scared to voice | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
change. So the models really need to be protected here. | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
