Show Notes

Emmanuel Macron is the first French president in two decades to win re-election, comfortably beating his hard right challenger Marine Le Pen in the second round this weekend. Despite Macron's victory, Le Pen -- who has ties to, and sympathies with -- Vladimir Putin -- herself declared a great victory last night. For more on this, Christiane speaks in Paris with Laurence Haïm, a French journalist who served as Macron’s spokesperson during his presidential campaign in 2017. Also weighing is Philippe Etienne, the French Ambassador to the United States. 

Also on today's show: Alina Beskrovna, a Ukrainian who fled Mariupol and is now safe in Copenhagen; and journalist Ronan Farrow.
