It’s been a week of political aftershock in France, after the earthquake that was President Macron’s sudden call for snap elections. His gambit, in testing the far right’s EU election triumph and his banking on it being just a sign of voter frustration is an “all the chips” on the table moment and early polls suggest the National Rally are on course for victory. Meanwhile, an 'electionally challenged' G7 gathers in Italy.

Produced by Gavin Lee, Luis Miguel Cabrera, Guillaume Gougeon and Laura Burloux.
