France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen thinks Brexit and Trump are part of new world order

France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen has hailed Donald Trump's US election triumph and Brexit as part of a new world order.

In an contentious interview with the BBC's "Andrew Marr Show," the French National Front leader reiterated her support for Britain leaving the EU. She added that Trump's victory on Tuesday is an "additional stone in the building of a new world destined to replace the old one."

Asked if she felt that Trump's victory increases her own chances in the French election in May next year, Le Pen said: "Yes, I wish that in France also the people upend the table, the table around which the elite are dividing up what should go to the French people."

Her party, she said, offers French voters the choice between a multicultural society "following the model of the English-speaking world, where fundamental Islam is progressing" and "an independent nation, with people able to control their own destiny."
