French presidential elections: First round

We hear reaction to projections from the first round of the presidential election in France. Based on a sample of ballots the projections suggest President Emmanuel Macron will face the far-right leader Marine Le Pen in a run-off in two weeks time.

Also, Imran Khan is ousted as Pakistan’s Prime Minister after a vote of no confidence, hours after his party tried to delay it. And we go to Mexico where the public has the opportunity to remove a sitting president today, in a recall referendum on Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
