Gunman targets police in Champs-Élysées attack

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We have the latest from Paris where a gunman has killed a police officer and injured several others, days before the first round of the French Presidential election. We speak to Senator Joelle Garriaud-Maylam from the party Les Republicains. Also: on day three of the election campaign in the UK we hear from the Election Commission on a record-breaking surge in people registering to vote. And the former Lib Dem Energy Secretary Sir Edward Davey explains why he's angry about the privatisation of the Green Investment Bank.
