goods between the u. in canada it provides protections for region specific goods like french rock for cheese it also allows european and canadian companieies to compete for government contracts in both regions. opponents including farmers and environmentalists say cedar comes with unacceptable ecological and health risks. to the compliments this trade deal will have unprecededented and dangerous consequences for the planet for our agricultural model and for our public servrvices. theyey worry it c could allow imports of meat fromm animals raised on hormones and animal bone meal that are banned in europe and that it could boost imports of oil from canadian tar sands some off the world's mostt environmenentally damaging. opponents also alarmed by an arbitration system that could allow multinational companies to effectively sue governments over policies that damage the commercial interests more than seventy unions and environmental groups have signed a letter asking french deputies to reject the deal but given the large legislative majority of

of today's dollars back then the united states decided to spend that kind of money. but it wasas in a very s speciat of circumstances back in the day duduring a meeting neil armstrog explained what he thought had happened at the time. it gerry griffin remember this you know he didn't have much to say but when he spoke you better listen. in a gallup or blackboard. any drew [inaudible] some curves. they were out of phase she they were home like this any label. one was threat. one was leadership bold leadership because resources and public support. and he saidd what happened in te sixties. is that for the first time in many mayors ex set. for two all of those came. together and lined up. in the same t time we have t the threat we hadad a balancedd budt by the way in in the sixtieses - we had trouble leadership sidee

to take this step in order to public support. terry said this is for your support had it not been apollo. it would have been something else today donald trump w wantso bring back all the hype a and exexcitement of space expxploran to do so he's asksked nasa t tod a woman and a man back to the moon. by twenty twenty fouour problems to do so he needs to find thirty billion dollars so now. it's up to him his team and nasa to c convince congress that it s a worthwhile. that's all for this edition but don't go away more news and information coming up next right here on france. twenty four the friends almost never work and there's that thirty five hour week all that the cation time and of coursese thosee major lunchreaks with wine that is of course the stereotype jeannie but working

life in france and more in the club i certainly is the source of a a lot. of wild rumors abroad you might be surprised to learn thahat tht french w workers are a among sof the most productive in the world so thehen why does the myth of e lacy french emploloyees still persist join us for this month french connection. plus where we explore what it's really like to work in france. what are the reason why french people have the reputation of being on vacation all the time is because they kind of are compared to other countriries ad there is d definitelyy a fascination wiwith france's generous? them record. many of the seven q qstions. that w will give us the d detais will in franance employees get a minimum of thirty days off a year thirty eight days off and that's a lot more than o other .

u. c countries were byby law thy haveve to provide. twenty days d that's a lot more than the united states in fact the u. s. is the only industrialized nation where by law employers don't h have to o give paid hols to their employees and what's funny is here in france some foreigners say that. they almost have too much time off they don't know what to do with all the schools we pay you but trust me you do get used to it as for french people they have their ancestors to thank for the very generous system. paid vacation days lee cordy be you were voted into law in june nineteen thirty six by a coalition of left wing parties called lifted with you thehere. at the time employees were granted two weeks off. it w was a victory for the workg class cultural revolution and marked the beginning of mass tourism. two weeks turned into three in the nineteen fifties and four in the sixties and ultimately five in the nineteen eighties. but a lot of people get a lot more than thirty days all depending on the job they do. july and august are months reserved for long vacations and friends and their two schools of

thought here. those who leave in july leisure. and thosese who believe in augut that was him. these rival groups cross paths once a year and a chaotic traffic dance club. just think what the during the summer parts of france virtually shut down people joke that august is the best time to visit paris because all the parisians are out of town. on top of the collision. frenchch workers can count on eleven public holidays paid time off to something french people are attached to o many see it aa hard earned right they deserve. and when they're not on vacation frenench people have the reputation off working just thirty five hours a week but is that really the case well the short answer is not really at least not everyone - -- there aa some people who work thirty five hours a week but they tend to be in public employment were paid by the hour -- but the truth of the matter is a lot of people work a lot more than thirty five hoururs a week for instance independent business owners they're not eveven concecerned y the law. and asas for francis twenty five

mimillion employees they to tend to work more than thirty five hours a week in fact on aveverae they work about thirty nine hours a week so more than t thiy five but definitely less than countries like. the united states and the uk but still thirty five hours a week is the legal limit here in franance and anyone who works or that limit is entitled to overtime pay o or more time off that's right in this has a name and f francis called a and or td hindu because you. don't get caught by well it's kind of like an exextra vacation dadays now a d defders o of the thirty five hour working weeeek say it'seally important because i igives people a work life balance bututhey're a alsoa lot of critics particularly on the right. to say that thee thirtyty five are working week s the root cause of all the frfrance's e economic woes but y of ourur viewers might be surprised to learn that fewer working hoursrs doesn't necessarily mean less productivity. i'm here at let that mental

switch is a co working space in the fifth in the smallll of pars and i'm m joined by moscow juilt international businessmen at threree nationalities you. i spent half your life a working in france half your life workin- in north america working for companies such as apple bose technicolor h. p. kodak a letter is thahat you have insider knowledge of what it's like to work here in france what it's like to work. abroad what do you u think the biggesest differenceses or in wk culture first of all both countries have pros and cons of their work environments the biggest differences. i'd say around the relationship between employees andnd the the poththole t the bosss i think -- there's a big big difference there the relationship to work like balance -- and they'rere a moment of to give french an edge there that maybe figured out the the cocourt dates -- and i think the the general approach to succesess and money from people abroad s say that frerench works are lazy or work verse because perhaps they p put in fewer hous

at the office but when you look at statisticics are a actually incrededibly. productive in fact some statistics put them on par with the united states where do you think that that reputation comes from a and does it surprise you that french workers are so productive. i think the repuputation c comes from decades of of strikes and the reputation effects and take coming in from the airport again today i heard it on the radioio. and it dominates the news i think that's the reputation france has which somewhat deservrved but it you can't't kd of paint the entire french population working class -- with a broad brush strokes and let's get back to the work life babalance bececause recently --e government -- voted in the thehe right to disconnect the the one at the clinics you do you really thinink there is thahat c cultul difference you think france puts more i importance o on havining. free t time off -- the french i think i've understood that you should takake a significant amot of timime off that states you te a long w weekend off medic a wek off you just don't have an application -- thanksgiving or labor day and you donon't have

time to disconnect mentally and exactly from your phone in your ememail -- what i admire about e frenchch is that when they go on vacation they're gone and they do disconnect and i i think that's something that's very healthy to do? in the past there have been some cases of boss napping w where ememployees actually kidnap ther bosses do you think there's a different relationship to management and hierarchy here in france. what i've observed a as the freh still has maybe this revolutionary spirit the streets ththe class the class? struggle andnd that the bosses e not admired as t they may be inn ununited statetes and bosses are people that are -- firing laying off people making too much money taking advantage of the system and i find that that's unfortunate but in general that is reputation of france has and french peoeople also havave the reputation of having a hard time talking about moneyey or perhahs even being ashamed of making money. do you think that plays s into e work envnvironment absolututelyi think -- you know it's the it's making moneyey is something that celebrated somomething i would y envy but something it emulateses and and motivates people --- in france there's cultural stigma around money and success which is unfortunate -- and people who want to be successful or want to

make money on forty flee france and go to the u. k. occurred silicon valley where there's a lot more freedom -- and a positive connotation of success we're here in a co working space whwhich is quite a modern concet here in france do you think that work culture is changing i think france i is becoming more of a start up nation - -- and that'sa great wonderful thing it allows french -- entrepreneurs to start the companies here and stay in france and create. jobs and wealth here in france as opposed to having to find the venture capital in the mentors - and the a angels in silicon valy or in london so i think that's a very good thing hopefully will be sustained -- a and it's something i think for the younger generations millennial generation they're used to this and i think that's it france ca- keepep them in france it'll be good for the french ececonomy. so it seems like a work culturee is changingg it here in france willll have t tsee what happensn the years to come thank you so much -- mockers who who lay. for being our guest here on french

cooking pots. meals of course our sacred here in france and that includes during working hours recent studies say the french take some of the longest lunch breaks in the world you're absolutely right genie for a majority of frenench peoplee take more than. thirty minutes for their lunch break during the working week in a lot of them takake a l lot moe than thato i it's m more t than otherr countries for instance in the united states of the u. k. where mosteople t take less than a hahalf an houou and because of this. it's kindd of hard t to reach people between twelve thirty and two pm but attitudes havee changed over the years and the real sit down meal witith your colleaeagues.. could be chananging into a sandwich at your desk adam i guess. twenty years ago french people took an average of an hour and a half for the lunch break often with wine could the boozy business lunches that yesterday be on the way out. let's ask some real friends people to find out [inaudible] lucy. do do the media media say that that the box upper corn to me --

wholole -- you know. you know he can handle them only about him as though you're a comedian one or one or none at all and after we have to go bac- i'd work because our bosses -- waiting. for go outside once a week. most of the time. but usually we were we we eat at the more for my boxing consumed beach crosspad mall what a hot at a constant. this can go samoseset manacled. chris signal kill nobody goes on route. one reason i u use mall. as a professional for my man full of maple make goodod on the numbers on to say i'm the dubious give aid of a particle someone p please provide normaly body on food which was told is that almost if you. a quote on the auto on or is it a perfect application *-*- someone twenty call. because it. could you gigive a play button r

the did you see. only because if i guess if it develops a products are not. able to philip was a this is just one of your the telephone service family -- i see.. many of you wanant to know about what it's like to work here in france for example keeper just asked us about the different types of contracts we have here wellll it's a little bit complicated fifty andnd i'll try to keep it as simple as possible but essentially the contract. isis considered the norm here in france thehe something called a. d. i. or cindy. and french a cool car a jury of the seven day and it's quite literally a contract with an indeterminatee ending and this s really considered the holy grail of all contracts that's what everyone's after the second majojor type of conontract is a. d. d.. cocore crowd and your date i men i i d as its n ne i indicates tt for a set amount of time of but of course that brings a lot less

security to ththe employee. finally flow we had a question from paul crosby who wanted to knknow if gogovernment jobs difr signgnificantlyy i in terms of benefits and time offf welll p l francis considerered e eight cil servants paradise and what's certain. is that there are a lot of these so called fiction that a five point five million in fact that is 20% of t the workforcece onen ve workersrs on the governmnment payrololl and they cecertainly o gett a lot o of perks. a friend since they'rere pretty much guaranteed a job for life - they tend t to work fewer hourss they tend to get paid more they alal get to retirere earlier a d get bigger pensions so if you ask french people what they want their children to do when they grow up chances a are some of tm might say. they want him to be a functction f.f. flolo there are soo many or topics we could talk about franance and the workplace unemployment benefits striking but we'll get to all of that in another show in the meantimee please do keepp sending us your questions on facebook or you ca. tweet me a at flew overr we'll leave you with that we'll see you next
