the who remember bronco bob, french president, emmanuel mccoy and as far right challenger marine, the pen have made their final push for votes before sundays. presidential run off whole show the race is much tighter than 5 years ago when french voters faced the same choice. but michael is expected to when many people say they're undecided or ambivalent. his campaign slogan is all of us, but it's not entirely clear how much of friends will be with him. i knew him a call at the ballot box on sunday. both the far right opposition candidates marrying le pen, and the incumbent president has been making a final push for votes. almost hopefully we won't unite the country only promising and reaping and financing nothing. well. we won't win any badges on misunderstandings unless it is also the latest polls show that my call seems to have extended his lead. but le pen is not giving up with we miss a whistle does. yeah, that's not the polls that make an election. you know, we often say the polls make the campaign a don't make the election. so i keep that moto, the reason both are vying for votes

you people say a blog, emmanuel mccoy is the man who's bringing in foreigners, he's the man who is abandoning sovereignty of frogs to europe. all sorts of things . and only other side. you got essentially the great line of, you know, let's find, let's have a new, a formal quote for she isn't which was a great movement. again, fascism in the 1900 pounds. and it's not going to be a very grown up campaign. and well, the end of end shrewd that is, that she's always brings back of the situation with the hardships that people are experienced. and especially now that inflation is giving up my whole now suffers from something from last time. last time he was new, and many people voted for him because he was a new guy. he was younger, he annoyed all the others and therefore he was a safe populous vote. you to somebody who still had the competencies within the french tech, new structure, and somebody who are annoyed, the other candidates encumbrance rested, left and right. this time he's been in power for 5 years. in his big rally, athletic falls, west paris. he talked about a care homes, personal talk

mccoy is up against fall right candidate behind the pen in the televised contest, just as they were in a previous election in 2017 o. suggested to be a tight race i've encountered expect to be watched by millions of voters. natasha butler joins us now from paris that natasha. what's been happening so far? the debate while the 2 presidential candidates, the incumbent center to mighty macro and the far right candidate, marine the pet and have been locked in this debate now for more than 2 hours. they've talked about a number of issues. they've talked by the european union about various international affairs climate change, domestic issues, particular of course, things like the cost of living and the economy. and it has been very 10 times. you can see that these are 2 candidates really do not like each others who have very opposing views of things like your opinion, mycroft, very pro, you the pen, very anti you. things got off. the pretty tend to start very much at the beginning of the day debate when emanuel michael grilled marine the pen over her links to the kremlin, bringing the pe

she was, she had trained, she had a rehearse, sir, but emmanuel mccoy's a is a good expert on those issues. he, he knows every, every single issue by heart and, and she was struggling at to be at his level. and i think she still hasn't reached the level where a majority of the people would trust her, even though she softened her image very much over the last few years. i mean, they didn't change her agenda, which as you say, was a very far right anti immigration, banning the veil for muslim women in public, those sorts of things. but she did very much try to soften her image, tried to change, to appeal, to more people in france. and she, she had that advantage during the 1st rom is that there was a, a candidate that was even more extreme than her example. and he took all the, the lights afore the extreme ideas, particularly on immigration, on the slam, on the, on those issues. and, and suddenly after the 2nd rounds, she was on the 1st row and she couldn't manage to keep that soft image that she had built over the years. and suddenly, the most controversial issues, whether it's a veil for w

well, certainly amendment. emmanuel mccoy is, is a pro european and marine the pen is not. and as we've been hearing from, from max and, and our other team coverage tonight, the european union had a lot to worry about with the le pen victory. even though she said she would not be taking the country out of the block. she certainly wanted to change it from the inside and end to destabilize it. so certainly a mcluhan being such a pro european and, and openly wanting to continue franco, german leadership inside the european union is a very, very good, very good result for europe tonight. and as we now look to see a continuation of franco german relations in europe, some there are some key issues that are facing france right now. internationally. let's bring our audience up to speed on what they are. terry, that was the you just to remind us and what those key issues all when it comes to things like the war in ukraine. i'm sorry, i'm losing i'm, i'm having a bit of a studio difficulty right now. could you repeat the question, please? i was just asking, now that we see a continua

french know to be this is a former french colony. president, minot mccoy 2017. had promised to release secret documents linked to the killing of son cur. up only a fraction of those documents who were made public. so the circumstances of his death, the involvement of friends, perhaps also, i recall sir togo well the circumstance that sensitive is that is still shrouded with some element of mystery. and that has only served to make him even more of a hero. remember sunk her up was a young soldier that promised a vast amount of change in society and the way that many people are burkina faso young berg. and so we're being led. so he promised a change from the past a break away from france, a former colonial power, but also from international organization. saying that he would bring in self sufficiency it in a famous crow sammy. he said, we must choose for champagne for a few or so safe drinking water for all. and that's why so many people are happy with this trial. and this sentencing sammy of south africa hawk from dot com. protests are being held in sedans, capsu

however, millions of those has stayed away or spoilt that balance. emmanuel nicole victory and sundays vote was a big personal achievement. he's the 1st incumbent to be reelected in 20 years. yet as paris woke up to 5 more years of mccoy presidency on monday, the focus at the new stuns was very much on the challenge. he now faces to united nation, at odds with itself many voted from a kron solely to keep the far right mind. le pen out. and then now expect the president to make significant changes to how he governs nica, what is the started something new? he's not going to do another 5 years at the same mandate. that's clear, we won't let him do it. if he does, i think people here ready to take to the streets if that isn't the right kind of government debug monument. good. so collect record a lot from old old hello la pen fared much better than in 2017 there. amend. a big gap between her and micron, a source of disappointment to her supporters. through this, i'm really surprised by that doesn't. i'm disappointed because i think she's the person who could embody a certain french revival
