Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron has gone through to the second round of the French election, where he will face far-right leader Marine Le Pen, in two weeks time.

Yigal El Harrar, the head of Emanuel Macron's En Marche's campaign in the UK, told Radio 4's The World at One, that his party was offering something new to the french people that has not been "offered for the last 50 years".

He added "we are a local party, we have local presence... and we put our movement above the traditional classic pictures of the parties right and left "
