We start with some breaking news the campaign of the french president ialfrontrunner, Emmanuel Macron, says it has been the victim of a massive Hacking Attack ahead of sundays poll. It says hundreds of internal documents were released shortly before official campaigning ended on friday night. Aides to mr macron say authentic documents, which had been stolen, were mixed up with fake ones to sow doubt and misinformation. Mr macrons en marche party said the documents showed the normal functioning of a president ial election campaign, but added that the authors of the leak clearly wanted to undermine it in the final hours. We will bring you more on this story as details come through. The fate of Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen is now in the hands of the voters. With analysis of what we can expect at the polls, our correspondent is in paris. If you speak to people on the left, particularly in the hard left as well, a lot of people dont really see anything to vote for in this election, and a lot of people say they will go into the Voting Booths and vote wrong, vote for no one. There are i think a few people in france now who think that they will vote for Emmanuel Macron on the evidence of what they saw on wednesday night. It was a pretty brutal television debate, as you know, but Marine Le Pen didnt put forward much of an economic platform. And i think that in shape peoples thoughts about which of the two candidates they are going to choose. But really, when you look at it, it is not much, is it, for the french voters to choose from if they arejust considering french voters to choose from if they are just considering Emmanuel Macron as the not Marine Le Pen candidate. I think she has done probably what the Uk Independence Party did in the uk, in that she has set the debate about europe is much as she possibly can, and certainly she pulled the right wing, the republican party, towards her. So fillons debate was very much him standing on her turf when it comes to borders, immigration and the battle against terrorism and on some of those issues, of course, Emmanuel Macron issues, of course, Emmanuel Macron is pretty weak. And when you look at the first round vote, you know, for all the celebration there was in brussels that Emmanuel Macron had got through to the second round, nearly 50 of french voters went for a Euro Eurosceptic candidate. So there is not much to celebrate when they really study the figures. Britains governing Conservative Party has made dramatic gains in local elections, a month before a general election takes place. As well as winning hundreds of council seats, their candidates were elected as mayors in the north east and the midlands, traditional strongholds of the opposition labour party. Brexit and the unpopularity of the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, appear to be the main reasons for their success. The conservatives picked up more than 500 extra seats across the country. They gained many from the left of Centre Labour party, which lost more than 300. The Scottish National party, which is currently in government in scotland, also lost seats to the conservatives, as did the pro european Liberal Democrats. It was the Uk Independence Party, which campaigned for the country to leave the european union, that fared the worst, losing almost all of its councillors in seats it contested. Reacting to her partys huge gains, the Conservative Party leader and british Prime Minister stressed her need for a big mandate ahead of the brexit negotiations. The reality is that today, despite the evident will of the british people, we have bureaucrats in europe who are questioning our resolve to get the right deal. And the reality is that only a general election vote for the conservatives on 3a days time will strengthen my hand to get the best deal for britain from brexit. Labour took heart from some successes, but overall suffered terrible losses. This was labour leader Jeremy Corbyns assessment of his partys performance. We came within 4000 votes of weaving the Western Areas which everyone said was impossible. We have had very disappointing boats in other parts of the country. Yes, we have to go out there in the next four weeks and get a message out, of the kind of country we could be, where pensioners are not frightened about what has happened to their pension. Where people dont work on zero hours contract. Where people do get a decent living wage. Those are the kind of proposals that labour will be putting forward. I asked our correspondent in westminster, tom symonds, whether the conservatives would see these results as a good omen for next months general election. Im sure privately they do, because it is perceived electoral wisdom in the uk that parties who are in government dont generally win the elections that come between the general elections. Usually the by elections and the. When mps resign or have to be replaced for some reason, and the local elections, which often come between those general elections. They generally do badly because there is usually something of a protest vote against the government in power. Not this time. The conservatives have won seats in very unusual territories for them, and labour has done pretty badly. So i think what the conservatives will be saying in private is different to what they are saying in public. What they are saying in public is we cannot be complacent, we cannot perhaps give the message that we are going to win onjune the message that we are going to win on june the eighth, the message that we are going to win onjune the eighth, it was then our supporters may not come out and vote for us, and it might be a closer thing than it looks like it will be at the moment. And what has been the reaction from other parties, as well, besides the main parties . Well, i think it was very interesting in scotland. In scotland, traditionally, or in recent yea rs, scotland, traditionally, or in recent years, the Scottish Nationalists have ruled the roost, followed by labour. And in the city of glasgow, in scotland, that has a lwa ys of glasgow, in scotland, that has always been a labour stronghold, for 40 yea rs, always been a labour stronghold, for 40 years, and labour lost control of that council. So much so that the conservatives even won seven seats on the council. And if you look at the figures for scotland, the conservatives are now the second placed party, based on the results today. There will be other councils as well, but on these results they are the second party. And that is quite a change. Now, that is something that the Scottish Nationalists will take heart from. But they did overall lose seven seats so Nicola Sturgeon had a mixed message today, but she still was convinced that this was a good result from the Scottish Nationalists. The snp vote has held up, the seeds have held up, and of course we will be the Largest Party in more councils, perhaps the majority of councils, although that is not clear yet. So there is no way that anybody can spin this result is anything other than a clear and very emphatic win for the snp. And it puts us in Pole Position to protect local services the length and breadth of the country, and of course gives us breadth of the country, and of course gives us a breadth of the country, and of course gives us a great springboard for the general election. Course gives us a great springboard for the general Electionlj Course gives us a great springboard for the general election. I dont think the Liberal Democrats, the centre party in british politics, could say the same thing about this being a clear good day for them. It wasnt. They lost seats. They didnt do as well as they had hoped in the south west, partly because in the south west, partly because in the south west has been quite a big vote for brexit, and the Liberal Democrats is an anti brexit party. They would certainly like to have done better there. But this is what tim farron, their leader is saying. Increasing their vote share by 7 , out increasing their vote share by 7 , our best vote share in any election nationally for seven years, double the increase tories have experienced in terms of vote share around the country, with the labour party utterly imploding and devastated like no other Opposition Party in re ce nt like no other Opposition Party in recent memory. There is another lesson to learn from last night. And thatis lesson to learn from last night. And that is apart from the Liberal Democrats success around the country, we still see it and headed for a conservative landslide. He is very clearly accepting that. Now, perhaps the most dramatic story of the day was ukip, the Uk Independence Party, which has supported and pushed for brexit for the years in which it has been in existence. In fact, the years in which it has been in existence. Infact, brexit the years in which it has been in existence. In fact, brexit really was its existence. It has been totally trounced in todays elections. It fought i44 totally trounced in todays elections. It fought 144 seats and lost all of them except for one, which is a very bad result indeed. And most are saying that the reason for that is that its voters, who supported the ukip party because they wanted to see brexit now have placed in the hands of the Conservative Party the job of delivering brexit, and as one voter put it today, they are no longer the guard dogs of brexit. So a very bad day for ukip. People are talking about whether it can survive this. It does have about 200 or 300 seats in other councils that were not up for election today, but a bad day. Having said that, nigel farage, the former leader of ukip, is still saying that there is hope. There are still several weeks ago, and a lot can change. Yes, it is very difficult for ukip. We are a victim of own success at this moment in time. But who is to say where british politics is going to be and where brexit is going to be in two years time. And that is nigel farage they are. Tom, it is just over a month until the general election. Can labour turn this around . Do election. Can labour turn this around 7 do they election. Can labour turn this around . Do they believe they can . Well, they have described their challenge this evening in a statement from jeremy corbyn, the leader, as of historic scale. So i think they are clearly publicly accepting the difficulty what they face. He has some way behind in the polls as leader, labour is somewhere behind in the polls as a party. 0ne thing they might want to, and they are starting to talk about more publicly, is the need to get their young voters out. Since he took over the party there has been a huge increase in the membership of the party, the direct membership. And a lot of those people are young voters who are energised by what he offers to them, more left wing, more radical approach to british politics than perhaps the years of tony blair, who was a Centre Party Leader of the labour party. Now, if corbyn can get those voters out, get them to vote, he might stand some chance of narrowing this lead that the conservatives have. But it is quite a lead.
