France voted in its “most consequential election in recent history.” Centrist Emmanuel Macron won the first round of France’s presidential election with 23.86% of the vote, followed by far-right candidate Marine Le Pen with 21.43%. Both will face off in a runoff election on May 7th. Global markets have responded favorably to the outcome, with France’s CAC 40 rising 4.5% to a nine-year high.
“So, I’ve heard you’ve been breaking some of our rules.” Apple CEO Tim Cook threatened to remove Uber from the App Store in early 2015, amid revelations that the ride-hailing service had violated iOS privacy rules, according to a report from The New York Times. The company denies claims that it tracks users after the app is deleted, but does employ some tracking techniques to prevent fraud — a common industry practice, Uber says.
Now’s your chance to buy Jimmy Choo (the company): Iconic shoe brand Jimmy Choo is looking for bidders as it evaluates strategic options to "maximize value for shareholders.” The company says there haven't yet been any approaches.
American Airlines has so far avoided United-like fallout after a video surfaced of an altercation between a flight attendant and passengers over a stroller.

Friday countdown: Lawmakers have until Friday to strike a spending deal to avoid a government shutdown. The battle will likely hinge on healthcare and funding the border wall. “I think we’re in good shape,” the president told reporters at the end of last week.
This astronaut just made history (again): Peggy Whitson will receive a congratulatory call from the Oval Office today for spending more cumulative time in space than any other US astronaut — 535 days, breaking the 534-day record set by Jeff Williams. (She’ll have a career total of 650 spent in space by the time she returns home in September.) It’s not the first time Whitson’s made history: She was the first woman to command International Space Station (and she's done so twice) and she holds the record for most spacewalks by a female astronaut.
