'The far right... haven鈥檛 changed'

France votes in the first of two rounds of snap parliamentary elections. The far right, anti-immigration party National Rally hopes to assume power for the first time. The elections come after French President Emmanuel Macron called for the vote triggered by a crushing defeat to Marine Le Pen's National Rally party at the European Parliament elections only three weeks ago.
