 Hello and welcome. I'm Kate Laycock in Germany. On today's programme, a tale of two elections. There's France. Well, you know, I think in simple terms, it's the future of France that is at stake. Not to sound too dramatic, but it's very much about how people want France to be governed. And there's the UK. If you want a growing economy, you have to vote for it. If you want more police on our streets, more teachers in our schools, you have to vote for it.
