hasn't donone that well that we have to see exactlyly h how this containment is going to be enforced were expecting the french interior minister to speak very shortly so. we'll place punitive may actually be safe. a new cost that. if you do all cool you know for example. i'm going to the po but it meeting your friends in the street actually talks- close now anyway so t that doesn't r really applyly at that time you know it meeting people socially in some. way you're going to be fine- we don't know exactly what the detail of that is but i think we'll get details on that. from from the interior minister shortly- so in terms of. what kind of movements alright i mean we've seen once. the n. these images of people storming montparnasse station for example this evening to get away. get to the- homes and so forth will people is prevented from doing that

but clearly. it's come. in instructions if that's if that continue in a room. with what held serve. to fuel the task. it was personal the game the window down to get back to where they want to be which meant that the will. and papa place and carrying the to others. of the- in fact these this that's still a bit of ambiguity there as far as i'm concerned on it but concretely let's focus on just point by point then- so. he said. residents say moving would be restricted from mid day tomorrow for fifteen days. only necessary travel that means going to the shops going for medical treatment. and going to work if teleworking is not possible in other words if- for example i suppose in. the news business teleworking is going to be pretty difficult so again we're expecting more details from the interior minister will

that be special certificates needed special this dispensation from employers to say. yes this person can move around freely beyond go into the stops. yeah. said they'd be seeking out some financial relief measures as well saying that the state will guarantee tax and bank clone suspensions also saying that announcing help for health workers say if they need to move around by taxi because of someme emergency situation- that taxes will be paid for by the french state. equally hotel bills a for example health workers have to be moved to another city and they have to stay in a hotel and we don't have to pay for that hotel but the army is going to pull as well and it's not a coincidence the mccall. kept using the word white mentioned these four times he's we are war against invisible enemy and i will be requisitioning the army- sort

of again. read the burden that because of course there are these sent like in the east around strasbourg which have very heavily hey and where the strain on public services is very great. i'm already so those with the some of the things he mentioned he mentions a couple of european wide measures as well such as the- ban effectively- own entrance into the sanctions and so. if you're trying to get into those. twenty two member states zone will have. free travel is possible you might be able to get into that side of this unique new national response yes and of course entry into france is also restricted for people from from. outside french national cannot come back if they were to go back home now we can bring a blue click. at sea on here in good evening thank you very much for joining us here on our funds twtwenty four since last thursdy we have seen the french government changed tack. by that date in response to the

frfrench creek n not r respecti. protection measures goo to thee parkingg parry's hiding many social contrtraction so. acaccording to x. it clearly to the fray that this. is x. dramatic that's w we need to tae it seriously five please two or three weeks. two or three weeks but you know he he did say he did say confinement for the next two weeks b but that two weeks seems to be fluid given how. t things arare going in it. yes if they're not goingng did not pronounce. the world containment but basically speaking what he announced on the saving is exactctly the equivalent. of the containment may be- the ended t the equipmet until full of t the situation in italaly we don't k know howow mh he's going to. he's going to be it's goioing to be at least but next two to two o weeks. but you know it seemed it is exactly like the same for. any othther countrieie we don't know exactly

when to knock back he's going to finish. that night there is clearly a donon't brunono one on you about the economic consequences to this now kelly emmanuel michael says now is not the time to sit and counter pennies b but- that's clearly a factor the government has to think about surely yeah. it's it you know that todayy economic situation of frost was improvingg over the last twelve eighteen m months h he's was clearly improving. on the from twelve climent french competitiveness and of course one of the main objective of having in my call is not to lose all of that. so a menu and michael as inotes these *--*- set off a social and she's's go. measures trying to. different compmpaniesnd the french bubusiness. but we don't know exactly you know that today. seeing golfers shohops willl ask of restataurant is all of y youe

management increased hot. hello and welcome to a new edition of france and focus on nadia shelby and this would you join us in a co working space just outside paris as we examine. the french workplace. well here it's all about balancing professional performance and personal well being. the average french office isn't a happy placece. in twenty sixteen some ten thousand cases of psychiatric breakdodown were recognized as professional elements. that's fifty times more than just four years earlier and at a cost o of two hundred seventy million euros the national health service. in response the number of frfrench hospitals now specialize in treating these modern disorders take a look. to him what his mental for every month every week we would go over the sales figures strictly always being us get more more more. i've never been able to say no and little by little i exhausted myself teach mystery position. because as a sales r rep code

workrk tenen hour days selling medical equipment for major company for eighteen years. until the newew managagement tem arrived. come down here record like creature called vista m mot senior person in the team i tried to help my junior colleagues and provide maximimum information to develop sales chief. and we all time the figures began to fullll. so i ty to compensate foror that by traveling more and working more. and i ended up cracking she quickly confirm. that if you couould lasast september cld was s signedd off work. since tn he's been going twice a week to the specialized clinic for employment related illnesses. whilstst waiting to get back to work- on the peace doesn't seem possible for him to return to his current employer. is toxic psychological association for him that so he needs to move on. to that nicole has been sisigned offff for two y years.r a period of depression she had to give up her profession. training groups of teachers for

a community charity should be on a monthly shows a ninety these days we'll ask for thingss to be e done need. from you h he to the ball. warner is supposed to come to but it just work like that on monday becauause must when you are with people during neatly into a ball. the company. and so just over a ago the cleaner has received some four hundred and forty three patients. more than half of them are executives all suffering g from the same symptoms. decreaseded only exext nine. we knew it wass reactive depression or posost traumatic neuroses these the conditions which a reactive to a difffficut event or an ongoing dececline in working conditions should continue to consensual diplomatic. often in conflict with their employer f few executives agreed to talk. with management are we expressed ourselves to hammer things out we're almost robots but here we can only go on i. it takes around. two months for patientns

at the clinics to get back on their feet. and we discover an appetite for work. dressing the medical consequences of high pressure work environment a growing number of french companies have started to adjust the management style. less hierarchy tony and flexibility it's a novel approach that slowly gaining traction. nine thirty am that's the time denver bomb has chosen to start his day's work and it's not the only thing he gets the sale yes dr now the seat with the exercise bike is free so i'm going to make the most of its- trouble hit up all. boston developerer it'ss timee r three years a startup which is striving towards near total freedom for its employees. yes on your recoveryy if it abolished rosea you can choose where you work. and when you work for you might be under the

weather all have something else to do. on occasion j.. and you can also choose your salary. as long as your colleaeagues a agrd to it of all fascinate me clinics. i think when i was working it sounds too good to be true compared to the usual rarat race the co founders want to break tradition and chchallenge the way businesses are usually run channel not bad to you via and we don't really have. a hierarchy if that was going south on that bench we needed sitcom that bad we don't have terms you find in typical startups.. like c. e. o. or c. own deficit and i think i think we took on the one that is to tell but we don't give someone relatable which means that all the time. sometimes people without such labelels have great ideas and confesses to kick out of it what did she do in this company to turn form concepts of liberal company where employees have complete freedom

while sharing responsibility. was developed in business school professor. isaac getets. his s book free thank was a seller in from. and just three before the war if you are are able to build a comp was. at chyronhego levels and this still provides. on the freedom of initiative fender andnd respononsibility to your employees. a great good luck but what you see it typically. is that the one you want to the people trust people more was their intelligence and their ability to find solutions. you'll need to control less not more. it's not only young startups that are sparring to be liberateded companies multinationals like michelin the castle and edf the now trying to emulate the idea as well. well for some analysis on these issues i'm joined now by gail said. he specializes in

human centric management and advises companies seeking to change that way. hello hello thank you very much for being with us welcome. h how would you define human centric mananagemet is k kd of susuper simple i mea- human centered management is just about taking care of people and never do to. your team what you put off like your own manager is doing to you so it's really really simple. wedgeses from stand on that front. unfortunately francis probably one of the worst. in the world i'm talking about developed countries where really far far f far compared to germany to u. k. including uk even the us i mean. human centered managagent is really something that is kind of cultural for instance for swedish people which is not the case for france. and is there also a sense that until quite recently the french didn't view management as a separate skill

set that you need to learn and apply a but insteadad is just a step up the professional ladder a power move. yeah the problem is that. it should become a manager if you you've been working in a company for twenty years and okay as a reward you you will be manager which is kind of stupid or you're the best- salesman so you're going to be- does sell territitory which is nonsense and we don't care about soft skills. meaning being able to listen to people being able just to be calalm and not shell all the timime just ununderstand that you cannot asa manager sent an email during the weekendd or duriring the holidays. so it's reallyy not technical is just taking care of the people so the notion of a superior french work lifife balalance is actually makes you think. yes in france if you leave your work at five pm everybodyy will say hall it taking afternoon you're not working today. so in france we really have some kind of cultural thing making the people think that if you stay late you're good manager or

your good will. so i work work the babalance. between our balance between work and personalized usuallyly good. but when. as we saw. in our report that number leading f for come. are starting to shift to this new workplace model it's not because they're also having to adapt to a new generation of employees. it's worse than that they have to adapt if they want to be able to. hire people because a lot of yoyoung after young generation j just do not. work for that kind of companies. and when you are a big company and you realize that. people having a diplomat from a bususiness school or cocontinue school or whatever just do not want to come to work for them. they just have to adapt so i think there is there some kind of a panic and companies just to change. their mindset to change their way of working to us to say to all these young guys. onn it's kind of click here. thiss new free- work model actually works for

everyone of the older generations benefiting from this. reboot of their work space- they work practices. actually totally depends i saw a company we decided to adopt everything to young people and that's a mistake. it has to be well being at work has to be for young football for everybody so. that's why it's so hard. to implement such. strategy because you don't have to think about everybody and for short- someonene being i don't know fifteen night doesn't nestle. to have makers. are please. where but the don't give have check who's working me how can i you for to make people feel better g going bacak to idea of everyone b being a leader and intro for. does not adds new pressure on him. actuallyly i hatate that toward leaders because i really think that you can. not be a leader of the manager and be super

happy at work and i think ththere's really a pole shift from my generation to the new generation a lot of young people just don't care. being a manager one day it's not the goal they are happy they want us to have f fun in their work they have to you g got a good balancee betweenheir work and their personal life but frankly my generation the target was being a manager one day. which is not the case for the young generation and what would be your your advice your priority for french companies going forward. i really think the best advdvice i could give to ay manager or an employee is being able t to say whatever. manager or your team i think that. freedom of speech is really the key of everything being able to city manager i'm unhappy without. orr matter of being able to say hehey i like that yu know that. coming back to basics really basic just saying hihi. is one of the biggest problem in french companies a lot of people complaining because a manager not saying hi. every morning. so that's

not t that harard to implement that. thank you very much. i thank you for watching so we needing this addition a twenty. five twenty four. so i believe the only way to make sure all information is accurate is to actually go to the source and check it for yourself. and one of the most extreme cases i've had in my career was a fake genocide and ethninic group coud come in contactct with the same power as a spokesperson to tell us that while they were being wiped out by neighboring groups who were. attacking them and that they they needed to come out because it was happening without the world knowing about it so what my colleague we decided together. and it was in africa was very remote place twelve hours by four by four to get that. and then well the people that bothers from accessing the actual fighting place they kept us abouout five kilometers outside. and basically fed us a stream of so called witnesses who were telling us a very g. b. stories. excluding one young

girl i remember who didn't. who look perfectly normal and basically told us our whole family had been wiped out it's very unclear about this stances before she- just which was pleased to be on top of. basically after a week of this. we that no this was not a genesis that in the there was violence. in city we were talking about. but it was all about controlling a migrant routes in the middle of the desert. so the genocide. but we did do one of thehe very first reports. with one of these informal camps in the middle of the desert but in keeping. live at the galalley day at two led.

03/16/20 03/16/20 [captioning made possible by democracy now!] amy: from new york, this is democracy now! >> the first thing we have got to do is to shut this president up right now. he is undermining the doctors and scientists who are trying to help the american people. it is unacceptable for him to be blabbering with unfactual information, which is confusing the general public. >> we have to do testing. we have to get the testing kits up and running. i would take advantage of the
