Macron - after victory tough task ahead

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

We hear from a Marine Le Pen stronghold, from a French footballing legend who's campaigned against her and we ask the former head of the World Trade Organisation whether Macron can sell his vision of a globalised France to a sceptical public. Also in the programme a dilemma for the Labour MP for Barrow-in-Furness - to be honest about his party's chances of victory or to be loyal. And with Marine Le Pen's defeat - have Europe's populist insurrections come to a juddering halt? (Photo: Macron and Hollande at the VE commemorations in Paris Credit: Getty Images).
