 It's six minutes past five, GMT. Welcome to Weekend from the BBC World Service with me, Julian Morica. In France, the lightning-quick election campaign is over and voting will begin in a parliamentary election where polling is putting Marine Le Pen's national rally in the lead. Today is the first of two rounds of voting. Earlier, I spoke to the BBC's Chris Bachman in Toulouse and asked what led President Emmanuel Macron to call these elections three weeks ago.
