we're live in paris, where the polling stations will close within the next of hour, as the people of france choose their new president after a bitterly fought contest. a short while ago the far—right candidate marine le pen left her paris headquarters, a victory for her would mark a dramatic new direction for france. earlier emmanuel macron voted in his home town of le touquet, winning the election would be the pro—eu candidate's first experience of elected office. tens of millions of voters have been visiting the polling stations, but the latest official figures show that turnout is down, on the previous contest five years ago. we'll bring you all the developments live in a special programme starting at 6:30pm here on bbc news. i'm shaun ley with the other stories this afternoon: an election pledge from labour , if it wins onjune the 8th it won't raise income tax for anyone earning less than £80,000 a year. the conservatives focus on mental health — and is the lows earning less than an thousand pounds a year. no hikes in vat and no rises in national insurance either. the c

[ cheers ] >>> all right, that was the scene in paris not long ago with the win of emanuel macron. hello, everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield. thanks so much for being with me. >>> french voters giving a stinging defeat to far right presidential candidate marine le pen. centrist candidate emanuel macron defeating le pen to become the country's next president. here in the u.s. president trump tweeting out just a short time ago, congratulations to emanuel macron on his big win today as the next president of france. i look very much forward to working with him. we've got full coverage for you. cnn chief international correspondent christiane amanpour is at the mckron rally there in paris, which is like a big old party scene with the deejay and live bands and everything. christiane, this vote seems to be breaking down to roughly 62% to 38% in favor of macron. there is a run-away victory. how symbolic is this outcome to the sentiment of the french? >> well, look. this is a major big deal. this election is not just one of the most important, if not the most important since 1958 when the s

got full coverage. kris tan amampour is there. let me begin with you there. in paris. this vote seems to be breaking down to about 60% to 40 pf% in favor of macron. that is considered a pretty big win, isn't it? >> it is. 60 sla 60/40 is kind whof what they predicted. it's still incredibly significant because what it is is not just 60/40 win which by any stretch of the imagination in the rest of the world would be huge, but it is a win for one completely opposed political vision of the world over another. and that is macron, the centrist, the tolerant, the outward looking, the pro-european, pro-engagement with the rest of the world versus the far right national front marine la pen who is inward looking, who wanted to suspend all immigration, wanted to pull out of the eu, nato and all those things and really campaigned on fear and loathing. that's why this is so big. up until now the french have always banded together to make sure the national front gets nowhere near the highest political office. this time it was a little touch and go. you didn't see the same number of people coming in

there has been a lot of discussion around this town about the administration's position on the paris agreement. the president is still determining how he wants to proceed there, but i do think that it is noteworthy, very noteworthy that the fairbanks declaration that was signed by secretary of state tillerson speaks directly to climate change in the arctic. it specifically notes the entry into the paris agreement. but looking specifically to the language relating to climate change, it states, and i will quote here, that the arctic is warming at more than twice the rate of the global average. note with concern that the pace and scale of continuing arctic warming will depend on future emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants, reiterate the importance of global action to reduce both greenhouse gases and short-lived climate pollutants to mitigate climate change, and then calling for the arctic to undertake additional analysis. and so i think that is significant. i think that that is -- that is an important recognition. and while this administration has not yet det

now say the president plans to walk away from the paris a and the nations that signed on. i will be announcing my decision on the paris accord on the next few days. make america great again. pulling out of the paris agreement would mean the campaign promise fulfilled and it would mark a major break from most of the world when it comes to dealing with climate change and another major break from the obama administration. where do things stand right now? cnn's joe johns is at the white house following all of this. joe, what are you hearing right now? >> this has been a very hard fought decision here at the white house, kay, and there have been people all over the place on this issue and we picked up information just this last weekend that the president apparently had made. this decision wasn't confirmed through sources in a reportable fashion until today and we also have to caution that according to sources the president could change his mind and he's been known to do that even after issues get floated in public sometimes by his communication and there's that caveat. the way it breaks

wants to dump out of this paris climate deal. what you got? >> we have been working our sources throughout the morning and according to two administration officials, the president is leaning towards pulling out of the paris climate agreement. look, this is not a big surprise. this is something that he campaigned on, but then another source who is familiar with the thinking inside the white house says the fact that this was effectively leaked out, as a final decision, is part of the frustration here behind the scenes at the white house. that the president hasn't, in fact, made that decision. that the comp's team doesn't have a messaging strategy and they're getting ahead of the president effectively. so, what does this all mean more broadly, hallie? we were at the g-7 summit and six of the seven leaders there committed to the paris agreement and, of course, president trump was the one hold out. highly controversial here back at home. we know that the president was sent a letter by more than 20 senators, republican senators saying that they, in fact, want him to pull out. but demo

not to pull the united states out of the paris climate accord of 2015. but the president tweeted earlier this morning after seeing some of the news reports, quote, i will be announcing my decision on the paris accord over the next few days. make america great again. democrats on capitol hill didn't take too long before they expressed much in the same way the vietnamese in front of the white house, their displeasure with the president's plans to pull out of the climate accord tweeting this is chuck shumer, we must do all we can to protect our planet as well as our economic security withdrawing from paris agreement would put this in jeopardy. the president's spent a lot of time with european leaders and with the prime minister of japan last week at the g-7 conference and the nato conference. he listened to them. his chief economic adviser gary cohn saying while the president's thinking on this has evolved however the president's main concern is with the u.s. economy, manufacturing and job creation and he thinks it would leave the united states to fall behind countries like china an

hopeful, i think we also have to recognize that to waste.t time host: talk about action. explain the paris agreement. paris agreement is the international climate agreement that the united states countriesds of other reached in paris. it's basically a culmination of 20-plus year process where countries actually made commitments to start reducing emissions from climate change. host: what did the united states to?e guest: to basically 17% reductions. pretty modest agreement, actually, that's well than what was our fair share in terms of historic start.ibility but a host: and where is the trump administration right now as you understand it on the paris climate agreement? caller: one of the things we're reading is that the trump administration is having internal discussions about the paris pull out of agreement altogether or whether to just basically undermine the agreement from within by stand ing in but weakening the u.s. targets and basically saying we're not going to do anything, even the small bit that we committed to already. really trying to figure out how to undermine this agreement. i

limits on existing coal-fired powerplants. the president is disparaging the paris climate agreement, but seven out of ten registered voters say the u.s. should stay in. republicans favor staying in the paris agreement by two to one. this chart shows that support for research into renewables is strong across the country, even in coal country. 79% in kentucky, 81% in west virginia, and 82% in wyoming. same in the oil patch. 79% of texans support research into renewables. despite this overwhelming public support, even in the reddest and most fossil fuel states, president trump is proposing massive cuts to this research. clearly tone deaf. it's the same free missions limit on coal plants. in all 50 states, in all 435 red, blue, and purple congressional districts, there is majority support for emissions limits. every single congressional district in the country has majority support for emissions limits. and then, of course, in some it goes up into huge numbers like over 75% here in vermont. but the baseline is that every single congressional district, a majority, want emission limits. bu
