welcome back to france talk on purely about remind you we're talking about energy for the future. you. but before let's see what russians think about this issue since the industrial revolution two hundred years ago mankind has been depended on fossil fuel and with the current rate of fossil fuel usage many fear this form of energy will soon be exhausted when this happens humanity will be poor to develop alternative energy sources according to the recently about us and a poll forty three percent of russians see atomic energy as a replacement of oil and gas sixty percent think the future is water resources and then other eight percent believe it is coal that will replace the exhausted oil and gas today many companies in the energy industry are inventing new technologies in order to cope with the changing energy order. ok i'd like to go to dan here dan we fall into the break room i was talking about the great virtues of nuclear power and comparison to other energy resources and you want to jump in so here's your chance go ahead. well sure his arguments are really highly misleading to

and the resources are limited now if you look at the example of france we have a country here that does eighty percent of its electricity with clean nuclear energy and it's perfectly safe so we have a solution for the world after all today we're absolutely addicted on oil this is not reasonable we need to find another solution as an environmentalist of course i am very much in favor of energy conservation and renewables but when you look at the figures it just doesn't match the numbers it's not a solution that's up to fit the need and we should be very careful that we are running into a major energy crisis nothing is even started yet compared to what we will be seeing and we were very lucky today to enjoy warm homes plenty for food and easy transportation this has not always been the case and will certainly not always remain the case and it will come in a few years from now so today we are in the era of oil and we need to move to the era of nuclear energy because if we don't that ice will go off ok minor if i know you will how do you feel about that i mean would that be part of your por

nuclear power and france did and then it's a hugely different rate you know kristie rates are about the twice as much in italy as they are in france today not to speak about the carbon footprint so nuclear energy is an environmental solution it's not just a dream renewables are small things to have a nuclear may have something. all right all right i want it myron go you go ahead and you're listening to this argument go ahead well. yes i think it's very interesting that dan thinks it's a very powerful argument against nuclear that it's heavily subsidized by government that is by taxpayers but he doesn't think it's a good argument against wind power solar power and other kinds of renewables like ethanol all of these perhaps everything i was just recognized and many of them are now mandated. ok again when the reality is that nuclear the reality is that nuclear has received the lion's share of government subsidies for over fifty years and it's still not competitive where as solar and wind are just recently emerging as full scale industries in the cost are declining rapidly i also want t

he was in france when... when paris fell he went to lyon and at the end of 1940 he lost his job and went back to algeria yah where he was unwell but then thels he continued to write and it was from algeria that he sent the most famous book of that period "the stranger" which he sent first to a friend of his in lyon and then malveaux managed to get it to paris and it was published in paris when he was still in algeria. he came to franz because his health was very bad and was in the mountains after a while. he only moved to paris at the end of 194. so his period of resistance, shall we say, active resistance was only six or seven or eight months long. now, again, the contradictions. camu had a good war. he was the editor of one of the great resistance newspapers at the end of the occupation but he also published books that were approved by the germans. so where do we draw the line? >> rose: so in the end where do you draw the line? what conclusions do you reach? >> i think the end of the book, the conclusion i

on the other hand the european union and france could play a positive role france can't get directly involved in tunisia price nicely because of its its imperial past its colonial past that but france can work with other europeans through european institutions to try to bring some stability. democratic transition in tunisia so it's more likely in a positive sense we're going to see the european union and its institutions try to shore up. with the tunisians are calling their democratic jasmine revolution that's probably that's more likely in the near term to be the relationship between europe and that would likely be more likely to be a positive one for the moment precisely because europe doesn't want to see a fall apart. and boatloads of desperate people across the mediterranean who or striving to. achieve it there as their final destination france well from paris we appreciate your comments your insight into this dr steven ek of each associate professor of political science and history and i thank you from the american university in paris your work. it's been a long time coming but

one was the bank of france, and the other was galley mar. and galley mar was immediately closed down, and they were told that if they fired all the jews who were there -- of whom there were very few, my father included -- they could reopen. and, of course, had to happened over control of the editorial output to a fascist author who was newly hired and be stayed there for some years until he committed suicide before the end of the war. no matter who your sponsors are. [laughter] >> even the nazis. well, you know, it's interesting when you look at it how incredibly careful they were in how they planned everything. they knew france in the '30s was absolutely filled with anti-semites and right-wingers and people who were fascists themselves. so they had a read-made role deck of people to put in charge of the movies and the press and so on. and they did. they put them all in immediately, and in many cases the collaborationists, more than the collaborationists, the fascist felt the travelers were even worse than the nazi occupiers were. i just fin

france alone accounts for 10% of german exports.er a drop due to the recession in 2009, products made in germany are again in demand. there are several reasons for this relatively moderate growth and wages have kept german prices competitive. that effect is compounded by a relatively weak year, which makes german products cheaper to buy. at least outside the eurozone. 20 years ago, german exports were worth less than 400 billion euros per year. the record year so far west 2008, with exports worth just under $1 trillion in euros. then came the global economic crisis. still, analysts expect exports in this year to exceed the one trillion mark for the first time. the order burt -- the order books are full and companies are hiring new workers again. not all sectors are benefiting equally from the robust export demand. the most important export products from the german point of view or cars and automotive parts, minutes -- machinery in a crummy, chemical produs, and electronics. the boom could be jeopardized, however, if the euro increas
