first day of school in france.there is a reformed to lengthen the school week, but not necessarily really to lengthen the school year. we have been talking about it, wondering whether french education is falling behind. the national secretary of the teachers union. the principle of the american section primary school in st. germain, the western suburbs of paris. peter gumbel, author of "france has got talent". and the france correspondent of a swedish daily. the numbers show the french spend more than the european average on education. 6.3% of gdp is the sum. teachers earn 30% last. where is that -- 30% less. where is that money going? >>'s teachers in the school system have a big value in france. clearly. teachers are very badly paid. i cannot really understand why it is like that, but salaries in general. what is interesting, the amount of money many parents spend on the children having a home, -- homework help from other teachers after the school. that is also special for france. all families' lives are concentr

not for france, at any rate. not reacting means allowing bashar al-assad to go on with his atrocities, and it will encourage the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction. it means abandoning syria and the entire region to chaos. france, with its partners, will assume its responsibility. that is its honor and its duty. [applause] >> after that speech, a speaker from the opposition party demanded a longer debate and a vote, saying it was wrong not to have one when there is no u.n. mandate or military action against the syrian regime. >> if there is no u.n. mandate, france's president cannot take such a major decision without the parliament voting. france's president has made for himself and institutional trap that is being made worse by the vote in britain's parliament and the u.s. congress. without european allies, can france seriously throw itself blindly to this kind of intervention? we think not. >> here on set with me is our french politics editor. hello. earlier, when christian jacob was addressin

france has to stand by the words that francois hollande spoke last week, saying france is ready. ready to do what? in other words, to punish those who gassed innocent civilians. what has changed is that he has lost one solid ally, britain, and now he is left in a position because france has said it cannot go it alone. it has to await the outcome of the u.s. lawmakers. in a weird way, hollande is hostage to politics beyond his control and at the same time, sticking to his guns with what he has previously said, that yes, chemical weapons were used by bashar al-assad and it is france's obligation to do something about that to punish the person who perpetrated these acts. it will be interesting, part of the us exercise with the intelligence that we have been waiting on is basically they are trying to make the parliamentarians feel like they really are on board, that they are part of what is a consultative ross s. who knows? in the next 48 hours, things have changed so quickly in this crisis. maybe they will end up voting here in france. but for now, they are just consulting with parl

france will submit a resolution before the u.n. security council. the process will start this very day, the text will be assessed with amendments by our partners and the security council. on a very practical level, france will today propose to the security council members a proposal to put into practice these ideas immediately. what ideas? first of all, to condemn the massacres of the 21st of august committed by syrian regime and secondly to request from this regime that it gives us information on its chemical weapons program and places it under international control. and to place under the organization for prohibiting weapons for emergency measures, to sanction the players of the people responsible for the massacres the 21st of august before the international courts. it is in the light of these events that we will assess the credibility of what was expressed yesterday that syrian people have suffered too much. we will not be -- we want quick results. france wants to act in good faith so that a firm and specific response can be applied to the syrian
