◇TRANSCRIPT

CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Great to have you watching CNN 10 with our season winding down. We'll be producing daily newscast through June 2nd, before we take a break.

First story this Monday, election results from France. The European country went to the polls yesterday and its government confirmed last night that 39-year-old Emmanuel Macron would become the nation's next leader. Early results showed him leading with more than 60 percent of the vote.

He's the youngest person ever elected in France. He was considered a centrist candidate who's socially liberal and he defeated a strongly conservative candidate, 48-year-old Marine Le Pen.

The election was divisive. Neither candidate in yesterday's runoff was from a major party. Analysts say that shows many French felt the traditional parties had left them behind.

One big difference between the candidates was that Macron, who's never held elective office, strongly supported the European Union. Le Pen wanted France to leave it. That's a major issue for many Europeans, following Britain's vote to leave the union last year. France's challenges include slow economic growth, high unemployment, immigration and terrorism. Following his victory, Macron promised to work toward unity in the country.
