Its the first time in six decades that neither of frances main left wing or right wing parties has had a candidate in the run off to replace Francois Hollande as french leader. Our europe correspondent, James Reynolds has more. Emmanuel macron is frances newcomer, and now the winner of this elections first round. He is an insider whos run as an outsider. The 39 year old is a pro eu, pro business centrist. He resigned as a minister in order to form his own Political Movement. And his gamble has paid off. Translation i hope that in a fortnight, i will become your president. Cheering. His supporters believe that the rest of the country will now rally around him. This is Emmanuel Macrons first election. The french people still hardly know him. He is now the favourite to become this countrys next president. Marine le pen, the Front National leader, will fight Emmanuel Macron in the final round. She won more votes than the party has ever won before. It matches her father jean maries achievement 15 years ago in reaching a president ial run off.

These two finalists are Offering Com Pletely these two finalists are offering completely opposite visions of france in the future . They are indeed. And what is interesting in all of this is how the old left right divide in french politics has completely been swept aside by this vote. It is a process which is arguably happening in other countries as well, but here it is very stark. The old parties, the republicans on the right and the socialists who have dominated politics for 60 years have been com pletely politics for 60 years have been completely clipped by this new divide which, as you say, is between the global and the national. Marine le pen is clearly articulating the view of the victims or those who have not benefited from globalisation, The Old White working class, who want more protection and a return to National Borders and are very much opposed to the globalised europe which has become the norm. And then Emmanuel Macron, who alone of all the candidates yesterday has taken up the cudgels for europe in saying yes, it needs to be changed and reformed, but lets not throw out the baby with the bath water. Lets keep something that is precious to us and will be necessary for future prosperity. Precious to us and will be necessary forfuture prosperity. So we precious to us and will be necessary for future prosperity. So we do have a very divided country. Although Emmanuel Macron has emerged as the surprise winner yesterday and must be regarded as the favourite, if he does become president , he will have to rule a country in which this Dividing Line between haves and have nots, or beneficiaries and sufferers from the system, will be very stark indeed.

Suejenkins says shes basically given up her life to care for her mother patricia, who is 88 and needs round the clock care. She has dementia, is doubly incontinent and uses a wheelchair. 0ur Reporterjames Longman has been to meet her. Its ok. Its all right. Ill stop now. I said stop. Whats it like to spend your life looking after someone else . To sometimes not sleep, not eat, not really have much of a life at all . I have given up my life. Give up those things. Youll give up anything. We spent 2a hours with 88 year old Patricia Jenkins and her daughter sue who is her full time carer. She had funding to keep her mum at home stopped twice by the authorities, but she is battling on. Its 8am and sue is getting patricia ready for the day. Patricia suffers from alzheimers and is also disabled. She is doubly incontinent and wheelchair bound. She requires around the clock care. Whilst sue does have carers to assist her at different times, her life is wholly dedicated to looking after her mother. Well get mummy changed. Sue. She has a lot of challenging behaviour, screaming, hitting out. Does she do that a lot . Yes, she does. That cant be helped. Thats part of that illness and it strips the person of the personality that they really are. Ive lost my friend. My best friend. What is it like for you, for your mum to hit you, while youre trying to care for her . The stress on you must be pretty intense. Yes, its heartbreaking and it can make you feel useless. As she is saying that you are and it can make you quantity as she is saying that you are and it can make you want to run for the hills and just run into the night and there have been many occasions where ijust wanted to run off thinking i was a useless carer. Patricia cant spend more than a couple of hours away from her daughter before she becomes too distressed. People watching Mightjust Sort of think, youve given up your life. Is that fair . I have given up my life, yes. I used to sail a lot. I used to do so many things. Very outward going person, but i take care of my mother and thats it. Is that her screaming . Yes. Do you want to go . Yes, is that 0k . Sorry. Ifeel like im constantly dropping you. Even speaking to us was difficult. Ok. All right mummy. Do you want to come in . It has been like this for two years. You do want to come in . Sue has one or two carers at various times in the week, although theyre not full time. But even so, her mother constantly calls for her. What do you want to do . See you in a moment, 0k . All right. Bye. Its clear that sue is finding the going tough. Its horrible to see her so distressed like that. She doesnt want to come back in half the time. Youve got a carer here, but it is up and down, up and down, isnt it . Yes. People watching this might sort of say is it not time for her to go into a home . Never. And the government want to encourage people to stay in their own homes and nurse people in their own homes and say there is support out there for carers that there is, but there isnt. Its the most isolating situation anyone could find themselves in. And your mother i suppose is the one person you should be able to talk to about that . Yes, and i cant anymore. Ive lost my best friend. Shes there. Somewhere inside, but you know, the person i dearly love and dearly want to talk to about so many things has left me already and the thought of losing her fills me with complete dread because my life is very much her. Sue. Do you want to go . She is shouting for you again. Its ok. Sue. Sweetheart, can you just give us a little bit of quiet for a minute . I need changed. All right, well get you changedment all right. Ok. All right. I promise. Its 2. 20am. Its time for bed. We gave sue a camera to show us what its like overnight. She has been highly agitated all evening and to the point where we had to go for a walk around midnight. The nights are when things can get really bad. Patricia will ask to go for walks. Her skin needs to be prepared for the cold
