French election: Le Pen and Macron clash over headscarves
Marine Le Pen and Emmanuel Macron have come to blows over the far-right leader's policy to ban the wearing of the headscarf in public.
The election rivals went head to head in a TV debate, four days before France votes on its next president.
Le Pen argued women had to be liberated while centrist Macron said it would lead to "civil war".
