Following the victory of the far right National Rally in the first round of the legislative elections, French Industry Minister Roland Lescure tells Newshour's Paul Henley that other parties should agree an electoral pact to prevent Marine Le Pen's party from coming to power. France also needs to embrace coalition government and he suggests that the top-down French presidential system - introduced by General Charles de Gaulle - needs to change.
