Last day of campaigning before French election run-off
Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service
It's the last day of campaigning before the second-round run-off in the French presidential election between the incumbent centrist Emmanuel Macron and his hard-right challenger Marine Le Pen. We'll hear from Newshour's James Coomarasamy in Dijon in the east of France about how voters across the political spectrum are united around cost-of-living concerns and how this could affect the vote. Also in the programme: a Russian general says the aim of the offensive is to take control of the whole of southern and eastern Ukraine; how the war is pushing up food prices around the world and what that means for already impoverished South Sudan; and after a three-year upgrade, the world's largest particle accelerator resumes work.
