Updates on the french president ial elections with the first vote just two months away. Lots has been going on today. We can show you some of the pictures. Here you can see the far right candidate Marine Le Pen, she has been talking about Foreign Policy. The centralist, emmanuel macron, has picked up the support of france while francois bayroux. The police have been Firing Tear Gas at students who have been protesting against a member of the police force who raped a student. There have been suggestions that Marine Le Pen will come top of the first round. I asked James Reynolds for more about Marine Le Pens she has been talking about Foreign Policy. We know a lot of her positions. She would like an alliance with russias president. She wants france to leave nato. She wa nts to she wants france to leave nato. She wants to hold a Reference Mick a referendum about frances membership of the eu. And she also wants to talk about deporting criminals. We know a lot of her positions. Shes faced problems recently in her campaign. The Anti Corruption police have placed under formal investigation one of her senior aides. Investigating whether ron not that aid did a job whether or not that aid did a job whether or not that aide did a job for Marine Le Pen. The Anti Corruption police are looking at the inner circle which may provide a lot of attention in the coming weeks. That is the far right candidate. If we look at emmanuel macron, who is more centrist, what is going on with him and his prospects . Hes a centrist, running as a centrist and outsider. In the last 2a hours hes picked up the endorsement of a man who knows exactly what that is like. Francois bayroux ran as an outsider and centrist in the last three president ial elections. Didnt win any of them, but picked up significant small portions of the vote. He has decided to endorse emmanuel macron. That is important in the short run because it adds some weight and substance to his campaign. He says he has a french political heavyweight with him, he can flush out some of his positions. Emmanuel macrons immediate aim is to get through to the run off in may. He and the other mainstream candidates are betting on this, if one of them can get through then all of the other parties will support that person against Marine Le Pen. That is what has happened in the past in france. But, of course, the past in france. But, of course, the past may not be prelude to the future. Why has there been so much anger visible on the streets of paris where you are today . These high school students, several hundreds of them, blocked the streets. They were campaigning in solidarity with a 22 year old man who was the subject of a brutal attack by a police officer. Tear gas was used. This demonstration illustrates a lot of the underlying bad relations between sectors of the young population, including students, and the french state represented by the police. Lets ta ke represented by the police. Lets take you out to the french countryside for a different perspective. Lucy williamson has been talking to voters in burgundy. The rural idyll is Frances National brand. Governments might change but the countryside, as the story goes, doesnt. And at election time every politician wants to be the, s friend. This small town sit in the corner of burgundy will stop with its grand heritage of food and wine. This small town sits in the corner of burgundy with its grand heritage of food and wine. Since 2010 the far right Front National has doubled its share of the vote, both here and the surrounding almost 30 . Both here and the surrounding almost 30 . Front national. The maher puts it down to the lack of support to the rural economy, which he says is creating a two tear france with jobs and people moving to the cities. Mayor. Translation there is a great feeling of disappointment. People feeling of disappointment. People feel abandoned. Weve seen one government after another and none of them have reversed this trend. People dont believe they have a future in the countryside. This has an impact on the their vote because they are fed up and say they do not believe in the traditional parties. Philippe has been a dairy farmer here for 25 years and his parents before him. But with growing competition over milk prices he has been running at a loss for years, and he says some here are quietly turning to the fn government a nswe is. Translation if the ritz one idea that spark interest, it is the idea of turning inwards, closing the borders, protectionism, limiting the movement of people. You do not see very many fn voters. Rural votes are a key Battle Ground in the selection, especially in right wing areas like this. A crisis in french farming dwindling Public Services and, now, a financial scandal in the centre right Republicans Party is pushing some voters to the fn. Thats true even if you travel west from burgundy to some of frances left wing areas. Francois hollande was once mayor here. They are so attached to the Centralist Leader they wanted him to run again. Even so, the fn they wanted him to run again. Even so, the fm 27 of the boats in the last Regional Election and it is not difficult to find people who understand why. Translation it would be good thing to talk about immigration. Votes. We ta ke to talk about immigration. Votes. We take care of immigrants who have just arrived here better than our own citizens. There is good and bad things with Marine Le Pen. With her we rediscover a france worthy of its name. But Marine Le Pen scares people a little. Lets see. These days old french traditions do not stay in the villages, accordion is made here and find their way to china. Globalisation is now the great Dividing Line in french politics. It is seen as stealing or delivering frances future. Translation we sell to china, even though our accordions are taxed at 35 because they want to protect their market. I say yes to globalisation because we had to compensate for shrinking sales in france. And the fall in buying power and confidence here. Farmers here say politicians like their countryside traditional but want the benefits of globalisation, too. Marine le pens chance of victory is still slim but to some her message is alluring, that europe is the problem, and frances model does not need to change. France is not the only european Country Holding elections this year. In september germany goes to the polls. And this man, Martin Schulz, former president of the eu parliament, has emerged as a real challenger to Angela Merkel. Look at this tweet from Foreign Policy calling him the folksy martin schultz. Schulz. We have been finding out more about him. Carnival season in an election year. Time, perhaps, for something com pletely time, perhaps, for something completely different. There is a new print in town and he mightjust take Angela Merkels crown. Translation i think he is good for his party. He is close to the people. I actually like him. His party. He is close to the people. Iactually like him. But his party. He is close to the people. I actually like him. But he still needs to prove he can lead to germany the way angela has. And there will be the better chance. She has more experience. I would be happy if Martin Schulz went into coalition with her, they could bring europe forward together. Critics say Martin Schulz is more brussels than berlin, but questions over his eu expenses and conduct dont seem to have damaged his shot at germanys topjob. In his hometown he is known asa topjob. In his hometown he is known as a man of the people. He left School Without qualifications, had a Football Career Cut short by injury, and beat Alcohol Addiction to become the local mayor. Translation as a Football Player he was not the best technician, but he had lots of characteristics which make a good politician. He was a tea m make a good politician. He was a team player. His willpower drove us to success, even against superior teams. Germany, say some, is tiring of Angela Merkel. Her new rival has yet to unveil his manifesto but he has already promised generous and controversial welfare reforms. Translation martin schultz, the political competition has returned. Schulz. We have missed that. He is driving a process that will help make the party s more distinct. Germanys political story is changing. A Ruling Coalition of left wing parties no longer out of the question. Parties. Schulzs polls suggest he is the most popular chancellor. Im surprised it is still going on, this impact he has, but i still think it is a long time until big elections in september. I think it will be hard for the Social Democrats to keep that running. Month ago you could predict, with some certainty, that Angela Merkel would win the september election, albeit having ta ken would win the september election, albeit having taken a hammering from the right wing a ft. Now, almost overnight, she faces significant opposition for the first time in yea rs opposition for the first time in years from a different political direction. Right wing afd. Germany, like much of europe, was edging towards the political right, 110w edging towards the political right, now it is just as likely to turn, instead, to the left. And after a year of Global Political surprise there is a sense here that anything could happen. Stay with us on outside source. We will bring you much more on the Breaking News of the hour that le i ceste rs Breaking News of the hour that leicesters manager, claudio ranieri, has been sacked.
