France Elections: Macron and Le Pen Through to Run-Off

The centrist Emmanuel Macron will face far-right leader Marine Le Pen.

The centrist Emmanuel Macron will face far-right leader Marine Le Pen in a run-off for the French presidency on 7 May, multiple projections indicate. The two fought off a strong challenge from centre-right FranΓ§ois Fillon and hard-left Jean-Luc MΓ©lenchon. We hear from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Susannah Streeter in Paris and Joe Miller in Lille. Also in the show, South Korea's Presidential race tightens - what will the candidates mean the country's corporate giants? And US Defence Secretary Matthis is in Djibouti. What's so exciting in the horn of Africa that it requires his personal attention.
