frances, how can you be so selfish? and she stayed. >> were there any initiatives, progressive initiatives, that fdr pushed back on? or did not fully implement? >> that's a good question. in fact the debate is raging right now in washington as we speak. frances perkins had presented fdr with a list of about ten items that i mentioned at the beginning. i know it is kind of difficult to hear me but she had presented him a list of about ten items. the only one she did not accomplish was national health insurance. in fact, the american medical association told roosevelt and frances perkins that they would kill social security to prevent what they called socialized medicine from taking root in america. what we ended up with was health insurance system that happened and grew accidentally. it was a reaction to the wage and price controls during world war ii. companies were not allowed to raise wages but they really wanted to attract workers. they began to offer health insurance. so we ended up with the health insurance system

in france of the death of george floyd has ignited a heated debate about police brutality in the country the frustration is particularly high among immigrant families i'm all been to and see is hoping that the protests will be a wake up call and that they will lead to lasting change because she has experienced firsthand what it means to have a loved one killed by the police. amol been to see is on her way to a demonstration the french moroccan woman has been fighting against police violence for years ever since her brother a mean guy shot by a policeman. so a mall is happy that finally people in france are protesting against racism in the police force this is the family. and we felt alone confronted with a system that suppresses us and kill zone for those and when they kill over those they also kill poets of us i think you. mean but in truth you grew up as a troubled youth in the suburbs of paris as a teen he was sentenced to 6 months in jail for setting a fire in a school as a young man he was jailed for robbery before violating his parole and going on the lam. 8 years ago i mean was si

once france capitulated, that wiped france off the map for him. france would not reemerge, in his view, until after the war. and then, only we allowed them to emerge, and that was not in de gaulle's plan at all. the war was, for him, a series of slights by roosevelt and by churchill as well because churchill was following in roosevelt's footsteps, even though he felt very strongly about what de gaulle was doing. at the same time, the two of them fought like cats and dogs. some of their fights, people thought they were actually trading blows. they would scream at each other behind closed doors. again, at the same time, charles de gaulle, until the day he died, said if it had not been for winston churchill, "i would not be here, and france would not be here the way it is," always gave credit to winston churchill as the one who basically saved him and saved france. to get to the second part of your question, de gaulle was furious at the way he was treated by both roosevelt and churchill. and that last -- that has colored french-american relations and
