which has increased a share of votes, is to turn to the right, the republicans, the party of nicholas sarkozy. the party could coalesce alongside macron's on a number of issues. however, it is a position party. in fact, the stakes are very high. you'll have to compromise, but also to give to make some concessions with the right. it remains to be seen whether the right will want to be part of a coalition, even if it is not a formal one. republicans will think about what comes next. in five years time, macron will have to retire as president, so of course this party will think twice whether to commit itself to a party and president which are increasingly unpopular. adrian: what concessions will emmanuel macron have to make to ensure the support of the republicans in the assembly, and will that mean that his government has to shift to the right? guest: i think the last point of your question, that has not proved a problem for them and crowed. -- four emmanuel macron. the main compromise he can make is appointing potentially a new prime minister who has enough credibility with the conservative ri

francophone — he is ithe opposite of a stuffy frenchl politician like emmanuel macron or hollande or sarkozy. so they like that. on the other hand, - they perceive him as a lout because of brexit. he is provoking a terrible - crisis with the european union coming by revoking de facto . the northern ireland protocol. yeha, that legislation apparrently will be published on monday — we will find out what is in it. and he is accountable for the worst crisis . in bilateral relationships i between france and the uk since charles de gaulle refused the brits in- the european community. so, it is divided. but more and more people i are telling me, when they ask me about boris, they tell me, "he is dead, isn't he? - "he cannot survive | being a serial liar." because, of course, in french politics, one never lies! - laughter. adam, there is a line, isn't there, precisely because this rebellion was so broad, that it lacked the depth and the focus? and in a sense, the rebels have now played their hand. any other mp who might oppose him may go, "actually, what is the point of declaring it? "i'll simply

seek out allies, and maybe he will be able to come to an arrangement with the conservatives, the old sarkozy, chirac party, but they are on 60, 70, they are a much diminished force as well, so even in the best scenario, he is going to have to haggle and horse trade with these people in the opposition on the centre—right, and in the worst scenario, it is still possible that he won't be able to reach a majority with them. it is a big day for the left, far left, this new coalition, and it is a big day for the far right as well. the oppositions are coming back with a vengeance on him from the two ends of the spectrum. jean—luc melenchon told his supporters every positivity is in their hands, what does he mean? he is their hands, what does he mean? he: is talking up their hands, what does he mean? he is talking up his performance. it remains to be seen the count that they get, it could go up to 180, at this stage it is very unclear. lots of the ties were very close. what he has been saying from the start is that he should be appointed prime minister, that is not going to happen, he hasn't bec

i think, i don't remember i think we entertained sarkozy there, and putin. i'll never forget, my dad said to putin, do you want to go on a boat ride? [laughter] he had this boat with three 300 horsepower engines. [laughter] and putin -- he's kind of a macho guy at this point -- he said, yeah, i'd like to go -- that this in russian, of course. but he had this interpreter who was kind of a strange little guy who was nervous. and dad gets out in the ocean and opens that thing up and putin of course was just in heaven and the interpreter thought he was going to die. so walker's point was an important point of getting out of the bubble but not nearly as important as crawford and camp david. crawford is a place laura and i love. it's a place that we went to in august, which made it kind of uncomfortable for -- [laughter] -- a lot of people on our staff from the east coast. i loved it. i mean, i would get outside and usually before we owned a bulldozer, would chop down cedar. it was like, unbelievably therapeutic. i would ride bikes but mainly i rested. now here's

of call is going to be the rump that is left of the old conservatives who are still there, nicolas sarkozy. if he can build some sort of arrangement with them then he has a chance of getting some changes through parliament but the republicans to do him any favours and even if he does find an arrangement with them it means it becomes to facto a right—wing party because it means working with the right and he doesn't want that because it's not what he designed himself to be. so it's a very difficult time for him. it’s himself to be. so it's a very difficult time for him. it's very confusing _ difficult time for him. it's very confusing to — difficult time for him. it's very confusing to outsiders - difficult time for him. it's very | confusing to outsiders because difficult time for him. it's very - confusing to outsiders because we've got macron getting elected to the presidency and then the voters give him a slap in the face by not giving him a slap in the face by not giving him a slap in the face by not giving him a majority in the parliament. how do we explain that? you him a majori
