Emmanuel Macron is firing up his campaign for re-election, directly taking on far-right rival Marine Le Pen in France's presidential run-off.
He made his first trip to a Le Pen stronghold at Denain, one of France's poorest towns in the industrial north.
President Macron won the first round of the election, but opinion polls suggest the second round will be a close race on 24 April. "Make no mistake: nothing is decided," he told supporters after the vote.

What he did was he made his first trip to a Le Pen stronghold at Denain, one of France's poorest towns in the industrial north.
