franc it means france will cease to co-manage the west african currency the bank of france will no longer hold hough of the currency reserves and a replacement currency the eco will be introduced while keeping its exchange rate fixed to the euro fronts negotiated with its former colonies for 3 years for reaching a deal last year one of the problems with the c.f.a. was that it has long been seen as a sign of french interference in its former african colonies well after they became independent the currency is used by ben in. faso guinea bissau ivory coast mali senegal and togo all of those except guinea-bissau former french colonies 7 other members of ico wants the economic community of west african states have their own currencies but there is a push for them to adopt the new eco is well under the new deal france will sever institutional ties with the west african state central bank and its monetary union instead it will play a backup role by guaranteeing to provide the central bank with euros if it faces a currency crunch. so let's introduce you then to today's panel starting in a budget

but you're also watching as france reopens businesses, shops — you can even get a haircut in france todayo in paris is crowded again. are you entirely happy that france has got the balance right between normalisation, reopening the economy, and maintaining the strictest of discipline in the fight against the virus? that is a balance which is obviously very difficult to find. but we are trying to find this right balance between the protection of the population and the necessity to go back to work. because there is a necessity to go back to work if we want to avoid an economic collapse. so our first reaction was a very strong support to the french economy with partial unemployment scheme, for instance, with loans to the private companies, with temporary cash flow needs that have been provided by the state. then we are entering a second phase which sees support to some specific economic sectors — tourism, the automotive industry, and the aeronautic industry. and before the ist ofjuly, we will have decided three sets of plans to support those economic sectors. and then will come the time of h

francs and so there's a sense in which france's role in the c.f.a. francs zone was becoming an embarrassment to france and this is a this is a way of. while making some relatively technical changes. maintaining as much as possible all of. the current system and remember that the new. currency rebranded the echo the old currency rather the c.f.a. frankly rebranded the ecker will still be tight the euro is a fixed rate of exchange and guaranteed by the bank of fronts right then so then this will aid me and i'll start maybe with kant on this one to 2 what's going to change we have to look at this and hope that in 2020 after 75 years there will be a positive change and that west african states will have more control and a say over their money and what gets where it gets invested do you think that is actually going to happen can radically thing is what rebranded because there is. complete control now of the wanted for policy why do you want countries that difference between countries is much more costly is more cosmetic down there now the 2nd one is that

france and germany are not close towards the outside. but sometimes we need to be less naive and accompany our strategic sectors closer we need to share a common strategy for industrial autonomy. that is what we are going to do and that's what we're going to strengthen. and now we are ready to reply to all questions. for you. and you've been watching a joint press conference virtual press conference as it were between the french and german leaders chancellor angela merkel and among well my call of france they're talking about their new joint proposal for a 500000000000 euro recovery fund coming from france and germany to help europe's most hard hit regions in the pandemic our political correspondent thomas sparrow is following this for us what have we don't. this was certainly an ambitious proposal by both germany and france i think an important element in the press conference that we've just listened to was i'm going to call at the beginning of his statement stressing that this is above all a signal that france and germany ascending to

well thumbed on contact today we discussed the lessons of the may 1968 uprising in france with author mitch abbott on what happens in in may is. as as a mass cultural as a class of it and its results are ambiguous but its results for the for the individual enormous and there was a great and really funny example in the book when i asked everybody like how did it change your life and so people talked about how you know i discovered my voice you know the 1st time i spoke it changed my entire you be there was one woman who i interviewed and i said like how do you change your life and she didn't even have to think about it she said you know. it was thanks to me that if it was subpoenaed in group 6 i never would have done it without everybody. but. so as it as it is that event that would free individuals it was an absolutely essential and successful living and if that was what it ever set out to do in whatever way you moved without planning it was a huge success but what doesn't kill capital makes it stronger. and i think maybe 68 is a perfect example of that. in may 968 france erupted in a

in may 968 france erupted in a nationwide revolt the revolt was triggered as many revolts and revolutions are by the seemingly trivial dorm visitation rights at the university of known terror students at the university occupied buildings university was shut down when students at the sorbonne protested in support violent clashes broke out with police the revolt exploded and saw every factory in france with 10000000 workers go out on wildcat strikes schools were shut down barricades were erected blocking city streets police were attacked with bricks stones and molotov cocktails and yet this nationwide revolt failed unable to finally radicalize workers are offer a governing alternative to the authoritarianism of french president charles de gaulle the uprising open space culturally for new forms of self-expression and space for the oppressed including women and gays it provided some benefits for workers raising wages and improving working condition. yes but because it never seriously threatened or altered the capitalist structures of power it collapsed under its own weight the question of how

they attack france in 1940. and the loss of france is a complete shock to the united states. begins to bring the united states out of its complacency. not out of its isolationism. congress and the american people wanted absolutely nothing to do with the war in europe. but congress understands that they got to begin preparing for war. and so the louisiana maneuvers held in 1940 and 1941 were designed to see how well the army performed. and the answer was not well. the exercises had revealed a number of equipment problems such as iron pipes being labeled cannons. and trucks being labeled tanks. and single seat biplanes being labeled bombers. and that sort of thing. the army was not only understaffed -- there were about 200,000 soldiers total in the army at this point -- we also had a number of equipment problems, as you can see. marshall determined it's time to start building up the army. in october of 1940 after this first series of exercises, marshall and the president go to congress, and enact the selective service act, bringing 900,000 draftees into the army and also activa
