1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Let's go to Britain and Devin Groves. Whether'skevin morning to

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: you morning, Mike. Looks like a very good turnout in France.

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: Yes, very high town out in France, but not good

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: news for Emmanuel Macron if those poles are to be

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: believed so in some rural parts of the country, those

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 2: poles have closed. Larger cities. The poles will closed in

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 2: thirteen minutes time. Then we will get the exit polls

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: coming through. But as things stand, it appears to be

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: a large swing to the far right National Rally away

10
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: from President Emmanuel Macron's party. Indeed, it could be that

11
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: his Ensemble Alliance is languishing and the polls could come third.

12
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: It is being rumored behind the r INN or the

13
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: National Rally Party and the left wing coalition, the New

14
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: Popular Front. You'll remember Emmanuel Macron called this almost in

15
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: a fit of peak after doing badly in the European elections. Well,

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: he might just be regretting it. What happens if he

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: does badly well, he said he won't resign as president.

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: He can remain as president. But the problem is that

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: the president will be in one party and his Prime

20
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: minister will be in another. Along with the foreign and

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: defense policy which will go to you know, it just

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 2: is a mess, Mike. He's not going to be able

23
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: to achieve very much. And all this very worrying for

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: the European Union because of course it's normally powered by

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: France and Germany. Germany well, not many people impressed by

26
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 2: the German Chancellor l Schutz. And if Macron one of

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: the biggest Europhiles there's beens the most passionate one for decades.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: If he loses his clout, then EEU will be looking

29
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 2: to his laurels.

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: And we'll be talking to stun next week. Back to

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: round two on Sunday. Of course, meantime you've got the

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: vote coming Thursday. What do we know with the Poles.

33
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: Poles still suggesting a big labor party wins. So the

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 2: Party of Opposition looking like it's going to and not

35
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: just claw back that big deficit that it has been

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: fighting over this last parliament, but also have a good

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: majority of its own. That's if the polls are to

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: be believed. Today the Prime Minister has been saying that

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: he believes the country's in a better place now than

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 2: when his party took power and twenty ten He's also

41
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: effectively been pushing this idea that if Labor gets a

42
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 2: super majority, he believes that'll be very bad for the country. Meanwhile,

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: Labor has had to be explaining itself. It's presidence party

44
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: leader has been saying that it wants a new trade

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: agreement with the European Union, but as the Prime Minister

46
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: points out, the EU will want something back. Will that

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: mean giving free movement of people back? Will not? According

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: to Labor today come out very strongly saying that's not

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: the case either way. It's not looking very good for

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: the Prime Minister and his party. We go to the

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: polls here on Thursday.

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,920
