Why France will remain divided whoever wins Sunday's crucial second round vote

France will choose its next president on Sunday and the choice for voters is simple: re-elect the incumbent centrist Emmanuel Macron or opt for his longstanding rival on the far right Marine Le Pen.

Some 15.6 million French voters tuned in to watch Wednesday night's almost-three hour clash to see if either candidate could land any knockout blows on their opponent just days before the crucial vote.

We speak to John Lichfield to get his take on the clash, whether there was a clear winner and loser and if the live tête-a-tête will have any impact on Sunday's voting.

Along with The Local France's editor Emma Pearson we'll also be looking ahead to Sunday and beyond to look at what will happen next depending on who wins.

With John and Emma we'll also look at why France feels more divided than ever.
