 Hello, I'm Gavinda Gill with the BBC News. There's been a high turnout on the first round of the snap parliamentary elections in France. By midday, it was 26%, the highest in more than 40 years. The far-right National Rally is expected to win the biggest share. A left-wing alliance, the New Popular Front and the Together Centrist Alliance, led by President Macron's party, are likely to be the closest challengers. Hugh Schofield is in Paris.
