Exit polls in France suggest that President Francois Hollande's Socialist Party is heading for a majority in Parliament with its Green Party allies. There'll be a decisive second round of voting next week. From Paris, Christian Fraser.

选举后民调显示，总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德的社会党同绿党同盟在议会中占了多数席位，下周将举行决定性的第二轮投票。克里斯蒂安·弗雷泽在巴黎报道。

Another good night for the Socialists in France with the new President Francois Hollande consolidating his grip on power. The final parliamentary balance is still hard to predict accurately, but with the support of the Greens and perhaps also the backing of the hard left lines, Mr Hollande will have a working majority. The vote means the Socialists will control the lower house for the first time in ten years that the low turnout perhaps denied the new president a bigger triumph.

新总统弗朗索瓦·奥朗德巩固了对权力的控制，这对法国的社会党来说又是个不错的晚上。议会最终的力量平衡仍很难预测准确，但有了绿党以及或许强硬左派的支持，奥朗德将获得足够多的支持。选举表明，社会党将十年内首次控制下议院，但低投票率确使新总统无法取得更大胜利。

Police in Chile have used teargas and water cannon to try to break up a protest against the screening of a documentary that praises the former military government of General Augusto Pinochet. Reports in the Chilean media say many of the anti-Pinochet demonstrators were arrested. Gideon Long is Santiago.
