still for what could be round 2 of the massive cyberattack that hit over the weekend. also coming up for you this hour, china calls it the project of the century. the ambitious one belt, one road scheme should boost global trade, cooperation and chinese influence but not without risk. we'll find out more in business. and paris on a offensive to host the olympics. more on the complete evaluating the city and the biggest competitor los angeles on the way. first our top story live from paris. >> we'll start here in paris where france's new president, emanuel macron is set to name his new prime minister. it is a crucial choice for macron who ran as an independent is keen to join a very political left and right. he has to build his cabinet of key ministers ahead of the parliamentary elections next month. france 24's french parliament editor is on the set to talk more about this. mark, it's really a crucial choice for emanuel macron. mark: it's an unusual situation, whereby you have a president who only launched a political movement a year ago and just transformed into a litical party and upcoming parliamentary collections. he has to a point a prime minister to conduct his government, so the prime minister is going to be appointed today any time. the government will follow probably tomorrow but then he has to go to war, if you will, to win the parliamentary elections. if he doesn't get a majority, which is quite possible, given the fact he doesn't have an established party apparatus behind him, he could find himself in the position to appoint a prime minister from an opposing party in a month's time. the choice of the prime minister today is even more crucial than usual. because he has really to send out a strong message, also for those upcoming parliamentary elections. not only to confirm he was president and he can choose whoever he wants. this choice is a strategic one. he has to figure out that that person will help him win the majority in the parliamentary election. if that's not the case, that person will probably have to ave and he'll have to live with the prime minister on an opposing party and this can be tricky. >> we can't combds how important it is to get the majority and push through the economic reforms among others he's proposed. he's been trying to get some people from the right and some from the left, the socialists, to line up behind him to run for his party republic on the move. but some republican potential candidates have said they would only join if there was a guarantee of a prime minister from the right. wouldn't mack ron -- wouldn't macron bend to that pressure? mark: that seems to be what he has in mind not for ideological reasons but political reasons. the party of the outgoing president francois hollandee was wiped out and gardner, a little over 6% which is really a major, major defeat. and so their hopes are not very high for the forthcoming parliamentary elections. he doesn't really need to give them something such as the prime ministership. whereas the opposition conservatives were the favorites to win that election. heir candidate fran it was hollande ran strong until it was torpedoed that he gave fake jobs to his wife and children. nevertheless he garnered some 20%. they would seem to have a strong position in the fourth coming parliament, so it would be smart politics if macron were to choose someone from that party as a way to weaken the party to say ok, i'm appointing a prime minister from that party and we assume some ministers from that party and now they're saying they would be the number one opposition to macron would have a harder time because some of the members would be flocking to the government. so the assumption is that some of the future m.p.'s would also follow suit and they would not vote against macron but for macron and a prime minister from their own party because they would carry out some of the reforms they've been advocating. so that's the plan. that's why a name is being bandied around for the past few days and especially for the past few hours. another well known person, philippe who is the mayor in western france and also known as a close ally of the former prime minister from the conservative party who was the favorite to win the primary within that party but who lost but it seems now there might be a de facto line between him or at least his lieutenants and emanuel macron and we'll have to wait for the verdict in a couple hours or minutes even. >> thanks for that, french politics editor. we'll go live now to the prime minister's residence and office s here where chris mohr is standing by. we've been waiting for this announcement for hours now since this morning. do you know anything more on your end? chris: not much more, and now apart from an ever mounting crowd of journalists and ever increasing speculation to the urgency of who the p.m. might eventually be and something macron was tight-lipped on during his campaign and marine le pen forced his hand on it and he kept his name under wraps saying it would be revealed later and a number of people he said potentially had in mind. you heard about edouard philippe whose name was mentioned a lot this morning by the french media and another couple names with speculation, gouda who is an m.p. from the centrist movement and morisse who is in the main center right party in france. emanuel macron saying in his campaign he would prefer to install a woman here if to the all possible. local media was announcing the fact that macron would make his decision this morning and obviously has not been the case. he may have to get his skates on, however, to do it today because he's set to take off for the visit to berlin later. >> tell us about that and what's happening for emanuel macron later today and the first order of business for this prime minister once he or she is named. chris: first order of business for the prime minister will be putting together an administration convention that says he or she has 48 hours to do so and emanuel macron makes it clear he wants a new kind of government, a more streamlined kind of government here, talking about a 15 or so ministers on his cabinet as you've been hearing from mark perlman, speculation to the makeup of that cabinet. whether or not emanuel macron looks to bridge across the central left or right invested here for decades and obviously his choice as prime minister will be a very symbolic part of that should he do so. and if he does by selecting a center prime minister would be the first under the fifth republic. >> france 24's chris mohr reporting from the prime minister's office. so as we were saying earlier, emanuel macron will take his first foreign trip today as president and headed to berlin to sit down with the german chancellor angela merkel. merkel said improving the european union will feature high on the agenda as martin pollard explains. martin: in germany wmacron's election victory has been welcomed but some are afraid of his ideas for the euro zone. the weekly front page on saturday wrote, emanuel macron, a dear friend, dear as in expensive. then it has he plans to save europe but it's germany who will pay. macron's proposals for the euro zone includes creation of its own special budget, its own parliament and finance minister. conservatives in germany fear bulky stimulus packages or reducing austerity measures on certain member countries. angela merkel said on the specifics of his plans for the euro zone, she would have to hear macron out before offering her view. on the wider issue of moving for closer cooperation to the e.u., they're more likely to agree. the new french president emphasized his passion for the block success during his inauguration speech on sunday. >> we'll need a europe more efficient and democratic and more political because it's the instrument of our power and sovereign city. -- sovereignty. i'll work on that. martin: macron appointed a member from germany as his chief advisor and shows it's his intention to work with merkel and berlin if his time in office. >> now to the ivory coast where a mutiny of soldiers demanding bonus pay is underway. heavy gunfire broke out in bouika this morning as they tried to get things under control. we started morning today in abidjan as gunfire is happening and the country is on edge because the two main cities are under the fire from the mutiny and yesterday the government sent a convoy to bouake to the second city to try to make moutineers stand down. the tension is high, flexing their muscles and the government said they're not in the mood to negotiate much and these soldiers will be severely disciplined. >> shawn, give us some context here, has this pay dispute been going on for some time, how did it get to this? >> it started in january with something quite similar to what we've seen the last few days. this all stems from soldiers, many of them ex-rebels who helped bring the current president to power and say they're not getting the money owed for that service and other services provided to the government and this is also a replay of sorts of the mutiny that was similar two years ago. so it's a systemic problem in the armed forces here that doesn't appear to be going away any time soon. abidjan you from reporting on the ivory coast. as the world got back to work monday, many were and are bracing for what could be round 2 of the massive cyberattack. the hit over the weekend. hundreds of thousands of computers in 150 countries were locked up by ransomware mostly spread by email. cybersecurity experts scrambled to catch the culprits with microsoft pinning the blame on the u.s. government itself. martin pollard explains. martin: the danger is not over because the ransomware that struck friday is still out there and spreads quickly and now millions across the world are headed back to the office. that's the message from the cybersecurity experts and the head of the european police network. >> we're in the face of an escalating threat. if the numbers are going up, i'm worried how the numbers will continue to grow when people go to work on turn on the machines monday morning. >> users worldwide found their systems crashing and then been asked for a $300 to $600 ransom. australia says three of its businesses have been targeted. south korea has reported nine cases and in china, the energy giant petro china and government agencies have joined schools and colleges hit over the weekend. microsoft has blamed the attack on the u.s. government. it said u.s. security agencies stockpiled harmful software code and sought to exploit it. once tollen, this was then used by hackers to launch these attacks. this is an emerging pattern in 2017, said microsoft director brad smith in a blog post. we've seen vulnerability stored by the c.i.a. show up on wikileaks and now this vulnerable stolen from the n.s.a. has affected customers around the world. microsoft said users should if they haven't already, install a security update released in march. many feared different, more harmful versions of this malware are likely to follow. >> let's come back here now to paris and the french capital is hosting the evaluation commission for the international olympic committee. paris is on the charm offensive to make sure the 2024 games are held here and not in the biggest rival for the olympics, los angeles. that three-day visit got off to a good start with the evaluation chairman giving high praise already for paris' bid for the 2024 games. france 24's sports editor told us more. >> we're here at probably one of the most famous of the paris 2024 venues, a stadium that was inaugurated just ahead of the football world cup back in 19 98. this stadium should be hosting the opening and closing ceremonies of the olympics as well as all of the athletic events and to present this stadium to the i.o.c. members of the paris 2024 organizers called on some of france's biggest sporting stars. there was the football world champion who won here at the stadium in 1998. there also are athletics champions and also the swimming olympic champion who is here to present the project for the swimming arena. the swimming arena that will be built right near this stadium, one of the few venues that will be built from scratch and which is bound to stay after the olympics to help the local community here in northern paris. a local community where one in two children still does not know how to swim. >> france 24 sports editor. let's look at today's top stories, emanuel macron set to name his new prime minister and that announcement due to come out today on the president's first full day on the job. heavy gunfire breaks out in the two biggest cities in ivory coast. the army is trying to put down a mutiny of angry soldiers demanding bonus pay. and as the world gets back to work this monday, many are bracing for what could be round 2 of the massive cyberattack that hit over the weekend. >> it's time now for our business upwith will hillenbrand. we'll start in china which pledged more than $100 billion to finance international projects. >> this is the belton road strategy. and china says it's a win-win. the plan has been around since 2013 but china's president unveiled the latest details in a forum over the weekend, building key infrastructure that would connect asia, europe, the middle east and africa. the international monetary fund says a pledge could boost trade and financial cooperation but may also boost china's influence. while there were delegates from more than 100 countries, including 28 heads of state and noticeably absent were japan and india. shirley has more. ♪ shirley: this is the official video promoting china's nvestment plan of the century. the idea, boosting investment in 65 countries. development projects across the middle east, africa and asia, will eventually bring solutions to end famine and war. the initiative will connect china to these regions and europe by land and sea. >> the greatest demand is for energy and transportation. we can build roads in the countryside, intercity roads and expressways, railways for trains and high speed trains. there also can be ports and airports. >> china, an international financial institutions like the i.m.f. say that launching these projects will help the countries involved. but for china, one of the main reasons behind the plan is the need to deal with its industrial overcapacity, given inside own company's work and use the steel and coal it massively produced to fuel the economy. many of the projects will use that raw material. to pay for them, china, its banks and credit funds will lend money to the countries involved. while the i.m.f. said this can potentially boost global growth, critics say there are risks. china has developed its own economy through massive building and debt and when it exports its model, other weaker economies may not be able to cope with that strain, especially if some of the projects do not generate the expected revenues and if lenders don't manage the risks properly. china's own debt burden also could increase. >> will, talk us through the markets today. will: we're seeing cyberand oil stocks rally. markets on wall street are mixed at the moment. the ftse is up and the frankfurt dax is down. that's the markets just before midday. let's look at the day's other top news. airasia will set up a new budget airline in china through a joint venture agreement with everbright group and the country is set to overtake the u.s. next year. air passengers within china reached 487 million and asian shares represented 2%. uber's biggest rival in the u.s., lyft is making a push to self-driving vehicles. they're joining forces with googles unit. many firms in the sector are hoping such technology can work with their journey booking systems and is set to escalate a rivalry between waymo and uber who is on a court battle for self-driving technology. >> we'll puckle up for the story where drone technology could lead to flying cars? >> japan's group has been funding to dofrle the so-called sky drive car which uses joint technology and has three wheels and four votors and now has a major, major sponsor and that's toyota who announced it's giving 40 million yen, over 320,000 euros and sky drive is the world's smallest car at 1.2 meters at a projected top speed of 100 kilometers per hour and flies 10 meters above the ground and still in the early stages but i don't want to test it. >> i don't want to get in that thing, not yet at least. we'll see what the future will bring. that's a lot at business news. now time for the press review. let's start with friday's cyberattack that threatens to continue still today. >> that's right. that cyberattack has caused at least 200,000 victims -- affected at least 200,000 victims across 150 countries and the guardian reports there are fears the virus or the after shocks will be felt today, this monday, because many employees heading back to work are in asia and of course the virus hit after asian workers had packed up for the day on friday and people are waiting to see what kind of an effect it will have in particular in the region of asia. microsoft's president brad smith has likened the massive attack to the u.s. military having some of its tomahawk missiles stolen so you really get an idea of the size of it. and the n.h.s. and the guardian served as a warning that, quote, nothing and nowhere is really secure. the paper says that the attack is part of a growing pattern of international lawlessness and what's emerged is a kind of futile system where we're all at the mercy of microsoft, google and other great baronnies which own our virtual lives and to give you an illustrated view of that, let's look at the cartoon from "china daily" which sums it up quite nicely. you have a tiny clown of a virus that's literally threatening to bring the world to its knees and put us at the mercy of those anonymous hackers. >> "the new york times" meanwhile is looking at how to catch these virtual criminals and it's not that easy. >> it's not easy because we're not talking about from additional bank robbers who wear a masks or those that demand ransom but cybervirtual criminals here. what's interesting is "the new york times" says investigators are using traditional measures like securing the crime seen and collecting forensic evidence getting clues but with a spin and requires a international level cooperation and ultimately their success is tied to figuring out the smallest digital detail like a coding style or coding language or even the slightest mistake those hackers may have left in their trails. other papers particularly in france are talking about the new french president macron and his election sunday. >> let's look at the front pages. we're seeing a lot of play on macron's the play on movement. the paper says on the front page the serious work begins today. the right leaning paper in france says they hope macron will succeed in bringing prosperity into france and politico said it was a sunny and modest inauguration noting the transition of power was a clear signal from francois hollandee a that macron is a political heir and will lessen hollande leaving office without contesting a second term and being the most unpopular president on terms. >> develte admire him. >> there are no words to describe his ascension to power and note even the weather seemed to smile down on him yesterday and noting other details like the choice of vehicle or the first lady's ress that were all chosen with symbolism, chose to send a message and the paper hailed the importance macron is giving to the german relationship. he's meeting with angela merkel in berlin and notably lies in the appointment of a french ambassador to berlin as macron's diplomatic advisor. >> let's go to india where the horrific rape and murder of a young woman once again put in the spotlight of women's rights in yained. >> let me quote the words of the mother, she says, i would ask everyone not to give birth to daughters to avoid this day i'm seeing. these are the harrowing words of the mother of a 20-year-old indian woman gang raped and murdered in really, really horrific manner i'm not going to detail, of course. but it was allegedly perpetuated by her jilted lover after she reportedly refused his marriage proposals, this all took place in the state of the capital delhi. the girl's mother is demanding the death penalty for those responsible but it comes days after the man involved in a 2012 bus rape were sentenced to death and it's actually a state minister for women for dedicated special separate tribunals to be created for a, quote, speedy prosecution of cases involving sexual assault against women. >> to wrap it up, something completely different, a bit of good news for a young formula one fan in spain. tell us about that. >> 6-year-old french boy who incident
