concentrated in france. 6096 of... we cannot extremely concentrated in france. 0k. .. 6096 of... we cannot go into the details of the taxation system. but one other example as to why perhaps it is not as smooth as you suggest. president macron has seen his approval ratings plummet by ten points to 5a%, the best declined when compared to predecessors, like francois lond and nicolas sarkozy. —— hollande. francois lond and nicolas sarkozy. -- hollande. i don't want to comment. i am -- hollande. i don't want to comment. iam not -- hollande. i don't want to comment. i am not a political and take. that was just an comment. i am not a political and take. that wasjust an example. but in general, the policy was widely supported. at least for the moment. the people so want to give a chance to be president and the government to be president and the government to make the economic reforms and move ahead. of course, you have to make cuts in expenditure, and it a lwa ys make cuts in expenditure, and it always creates oppo

is he the right president at the right time for france? first, thank you very much for inviting me. i think, yes, absolutely. for the first time for many years, we have a president who was elected with a clear political programme for deep economic reforms, and he has a clear mandate to make difficult reforms in the labour market, and the tax regime, to have something much more business friendly, and this is going to take place quite rapidly. so, i think that comes exactly at the right moment, because we are now in, in europe in general, in the eurozone, leaving completely the negative consequences of the crisis. growth is picking up, and i think it is the appropriate time to raise the growth potential and try to size the benefits of a full recovery. we will talk about the reforms in france presently, butjust underscoring the approach, the intention to make france more competitive, is that so it can compete, for instance, in trying to pick up in picking up some of the business from the city of london, post—brexit. why is paris best placed?

a large one for france.livia: to contextualize the situation, what were the major obstacles in your opinion toward -- that negates progress in terms of employment law? unions.ou've got the they are all eating at the same table and they don't want things to change because they are getting so much money, power, privilege and so many things under the -- unions,g like 20,000 you don't even know what they are doing. it is just something they don't want to change. people, theythese are -- with the money from vocational training. they don't want to change that. people see thee, business community through the eyes of large companies and they feel why do these people need a change when they are 200,000, 300,000 people, they have lawyers. changen't need any because they are destroying more jobs than they are creating. most of our companies are small and medium companies. people don't understand that. there has been this idea in france that you don't perform the labor law. so it is going from one government to the othe

france's ownn ghosts. it's interesting what we're seeing in the wake of the u.s. it says france also has to face up to its own scars regarding its controversial history regarding the slave trade and colonialism. a dark chapter in french history that is still very visible. au can see them talking about street memory, statues come historical plaques, street names across several cities, and especially ports emma are visible reminders of the dark role that france played in the slave trade. this is a photo from bordeaux, a corner where to dubya street intersect. slave trader who made a lot of money, and another was a doctor published racist theories. a lot of people are asking for those name to be changed. >> others say removing those symbols will not actually change anything. >> there's an interesting inicle from a specialist history and the remembrance of slavery in particular. he focuses on the situation and parents where there are -- paris , where there are countless references to colonialism or the slave trade. this is in the second iran arrondisment. stopsare sev

france had 2% at this time. so, the density of the phone network, the clarity of the phone network was very different here. and so they not only had to be able to, you know, use this system well, but they also had to interface with french operators because the united states ultimately, in the course of less than a year, built an entirely new telephone network for france. you know, i mean, the parts that would serve this military purposes, and over to england as well. but until that happened, you had to have what were called, you know, local operators, basically, talking with what were known as toll operators. and i'm sure there are probably some people in this room who actually even maybe have operated this technology. i've given this talk a couple places and people say, i was a telephone operator. so, a trunk line is like me calling you, right? now, a toll call is me calling you, and through you, calling somebody else again. and the toll operators were like the people who managed the hub. now, in france, before

and what france will do.believes that france has a rightful role at the center of the world stage, playing a useful role. having bluster on the world stage. he identified spots in iraq and libya, a signaled out country where chaos rules and that is divided by competing governments. last month, he convened a summit here and he said he started the reconciliation process. he wants to see that continue. he sees that as central to his fight for containing terrorism. migration, it equally a top line. diedimmigrants have crossing. macron doesn't just want to tackle that at the origins by giving more developmentally to africa. he also wants to set up centers on african soil. in countries like chad and eventually libya when it is safer to do so. in order to identify the real refugees, political immigrants whose lives are in danger as opposed to political -- as opposed to economic immigrants. it is an ambitious policy but one that he sees as being possible if he makes the african continent a continent which will be cru

when woodrow wilson went to france, he went to france knowing the people who were coming into office were people that did not support his national programs, people like henry cabot lodge, for example. back in france, the battle is still under way, the battle -- not just the battle for the vote. but one of the things that was so interesting to me about writing this book was to learn about how men supported women, too. this is a story about men and women working together for justice, men and women trying to learn how to actually work together, live alongside each other, have that be something where they could count on each other in the most dire of circumstances to be there, to be forthright, to be honest, to fulfill their duty, and they also learned how to have a good time. so this is a group of our young women sitting at a table. they're celebrating a birthday with a general, a brigadier general, colonels, majors, but on the basis of the camaraderie that comes from people that have risked their lives together in an important cause. once the war was over -- i'm trying to get my little
