France which is Europe's second largest economy - woke up to an unexpected result in the second round of its general election.

It had been the largest party after first-round voting - but today, the left-wing coalition, the New Popular Front, has most seats, while President Macron’s centre alliance came second. Sam Fenwick gets reaction from businesses and economists about what the result of a hung parliament in France could mean. So, from one election without a clear winner to another with a very clear outcome; UK Labours new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, outlines her plans for delivering economic growth. And Boeing has agreed to plead guilty to a criminal fraud conspiracy charge stemming from two crashes of 737 Max jetliners that killed three hundred and 46 people. As part of the plea deal, Boeing will pay a criminal fine of nearly $250 million.
