National Rally party wins first round of French elections

The far-right anti-immigration National Rally appears to have won the first round of Frances's general election. With an estimated 33% of the vote, the National Rally is on course to be the largest party in parliament. The historic result would mark a massive shift in French politics. The election will now go to a second round next Sunday, where the left wing block and President Macron's centrist party will urge their supporters to unite to prevent a National Rally victory.

And finally a new government is announced in South Africa.
