◇TRANSCRIPT


Hello, I'm Tom Donkin with BBC News, these are the latest headlines.
France has chosen the two candidates who will go through to the final round of the presidential election in two weeks' time, that the 39-year-old centrist Emmanuel Macron and the nationalist right wing up Marine Le Pen. It's being seen as a rejection of the traditional parties.
Mr. Macron said his job would be to become president for the whole country. He called for everyone to rally against the Nationalists. Miss Le Pen said it was time to liberate the French people.
The losing center-right and Socialist Left candidates said they were switching their allegiance to Mr. Macron.
