France votes in high stakes election

People are voting in France in the first round of snap parliamentary elections. The far-right National Rally is widely expected to win the biggest share, with a left- wing alliance, the New Popular Front and the 'Together' centrist alliance led by President Macron's party likely to be its closest challengers. Most seats are unlikely to be determined till the second round in a week's time, with multiple candidates likely to progress in many constituencies.

Also, Kenya has seen riots this week. We hear why young people are out in the streets.
