France election 2017: gauging the mood of voters

In exactly one month from now, voters in France will have elected a new President and, perhaps for the first time, a head of state representing none of the main parties who have held power for decades. The first round takes place on 23rd April. There are three main candidates, but a run-off is expected on 7th May as none of the contenders are likely to secure an outright majority. Meanwhile, Newsday's Julian Keane went to the north-eastern town of Strasbourg to look ahead to the presidential election.
