Leftist New Popular Front wins largest number of seats

There's new uncertainty for markets, as a newly formed left-wing alliance in France has won one of the country's most hotly contested elections in decades. Last month, French voters signalled their desire for change when they gave the far-right National Rally a resounding victory in EU parliamentary elections. Last week, they did the same in the first round of France's parlaimentary elections. Now, a week on, the New Popular Front has secured the most seats, but not a majority, with Emmanuel Macron's centrist grouping second and National Rally third, but as Joel Flynn reports from Paris, there's still great uncertainty.
