 Hello, I'm Chris Barrow with the BBC News. The first round of France's parliamentary elections is taking place today, with the far-right National Rally expected to come in first place and a left-wing alliance, New Popular Front, also predicted to do well. President Emmanuel Macron, who heads the centrist Renaissance Party, called the snap vote after the populist anti-immigration National Rally triumphed in European elections earlier this month. Our reporter Chris Bachman is in the south-western city of Toulouse.
