i say a lot of bad things about germany and germany and about france in france nobody minds. well why not. nobody minds if i said because i'm the way i am which means i can get away with saying and doing anything i'm an absolute advocate of understanding and reconciliation so what i say can only be right that's not actually the truth but i let people believe it. what is it that made it possible for the germans and the french to get along and talk to one another today as if these wars had never happened. is that how it is. i wouldn't say that's the case. they know full well that these wars happened and still that's how i describe it everything has been done to ensure the wars are not forgotten that nothing is forgotten. that hitler the concentration camps are not forgotten none of that should have struct genuine human communication between the germans and the french. not with everybody of course there is still a generation today who cannot accept the phrase the germans that still exists. but on the whole the second and third generation are now france friendly and germany frien

on the fact that france was difficult to reform. it was an open forum he was talking to the french community abroad and to the danish community who was there and present with the danish. queen and the danish prime minister and it was a light hearted comment which was not insulting in the least not as if it had been said by anyone it was taken out of context and distorted is that light didn't matter is that that is that very important what's important is that we transform a country what's important is that we achieve what we were elected to do and we have three hundred millimeter you know which. of the press through. on the flimsy excuse that he could find somewhere more comfortable with them and then we have in july comment we have a press that no longer seeks the truth. no longer. having to use a straight out of the drop of having kicked out the media of the press room is ludicrous the media was in a room in the main main palace of the user who is a small over undersized palace for the presidency and they've been moved literally tw

france is on rivaled when it comes to developing young players and maybe we could see p.s.g. get for us at a top club football with a national team already there in the international game but hold on let's be honest here not everything is rosy in french football p.s.g. suddenly becoming successful just because they become billionaires placing isn't some fairy tale and it isn't necessarily good family. more than five hundred million euros the second reject in france and snow two hundred eighty five thousand seems complete when their budget is so much bigger than all of that rivals well for the most part they can and the results of that sadly obvious it makes the choice all right pretty one sided mostly. and although there's always hope that it seems we'll have a miracle season like monaco a couple of years back you can't expect that to happen very often it's a little bit like now in germany you might just buy. them you have gotten one and the same thing in france for us but it's not our money they are untouchable and then you have your own must say. but i think so long the qat

in france. >> reporter: and in other countries around europe and to that end as well as the other world leaders here, the french have put on an additional 10,000 or they were going to have 10,000 police officers on duty. i can tell you from several hours ago there have been barricades along the side of the road itself. police every 20 or 30 meters. it was difficult to be allowed to walk across the road hours before the convoy. the police have a physical barricade security, police officers on duty right on the route that president trump and other leaders have driven up and right at the place where this protester managed to gets through that police barricade. but there has been additional, we witnessed it and experienced it ourselves this morning, additional security before you arrived? for people to get close to the barrier and close to the road that president trump was driving on, it was necessary to have your clothing checked, baggage checked, all of these sorts of things. there are several lay

seems have been the sense in france that this was really just a british problem and france could get perhaps some profit out of it but that's changing now isn't it. it's not just a question of wanting britain to suffer or the macro. suggested that he thought they should suffer didn't know he said i mean and that's it shows us one thing it's not easy to access exit the european union not without cost not without consequences is that force well he wanted the suggestion is that you want to know to pay back a gesture that the suggestion the matter of fact meeting the e.u. is a complicated process i don't think that anybody on either side of the channel would deny that would you do you know do you know anybody who would actually say that the the process of leaving the e.u. is an easy one. well people in this country in britain certainly said it was an easy one but they've been proved wrong do you believe in a last minute deal the two sides taking it right down to the wire just to show that they've extracted all the concessions i'd like i just like to make a point there is no one including

born over france in nineteen forty. eight and made it very clear that he would sign the capitulation of france i got very place. in nineteen forty so it's a very some border between all of the country. and beat actual spot where this armistice was signed that's a rail car right yeah it's about a car. in there they put in the forest. and then the red car was then moved from here to germany and then it went back up into france afterwards. so it was this group of school you you see all the pictures of this were kind of a one knows that there's a trolley. to the front. bryan match commemorates the one thousand four thousand nine hundred eighteen war far more than germany i think also because. germany. when france was. victorias. so what exactly does this particular site then mean for the french. i mean if you. i guess the. pictures what we have in mind in france is the call for a companion and one of the other pictures of the war is the symmetry of the woman and the you know the field of. because it was the biggest and the

to be said you have a major gap between metropole the big city france and the france the peripheral franceof france of the the outer suburbs of france the countryside and this is a major gap is becoming a struggle a struggle on what is dividing france it's because you have people in your yuppies as you say who live in the big cities vote for michael we don't care about the tax to the cost of the. living including a few and you have these people who are forward very in remote places who have to go to to to find a job who have to go to their job with a car and they have to pay for their to pay for their car there to pay for the fuel they have to pay for the taxes they have to pay in order to get someone to the hospital because you don't have those but always very far away from where they live and that's this kind of france who is resisting and there's a kind of similarity between these kind of issues and what's expresses this this fear is for the whole france i don't i don't think that's paris is a is a real. place to to defend their rights i think it's block the economy if they can block th

then you have gotten one and the same thing in france after all it's not arm of the. untouchable and then you have me on must say. but i think the qataris as in paris will be champions and a lack of competitiveness in the link of course has an effect on fans and friends last season legal for the lowest attendance rate among europe's top five late on average less than twenty three thousand people showed up at french top flight games things don't seem to have improved in the new season many teams are currently averaging attendances of less than twenty thousand. fans on bothering to watch matches live. that's not a good sign french public. say ok probably would be. why do they have to go through to the stadium this points to an underlying issue with french football an issue with the french people themselves france is not a football country if you compare it with germany. we don't have this football culture that might sound ridiculous for a country that has reached three on one to the last six world cup finals but but with us here. where the rest of the country in this se

western france. that was one of the main ports where the american troops will arrive during the entire war. from there, heading inland, where there were a lot of american bases for supplies. they had goods, shells, all the logistics there. it was a very important port. mitchell: did the french provide the port to the americans? was it used by them exclusively for their supplies and their troops? guillaume: i am not sure. but that was the main port where supplies would arrive. here is another boat coming. that is probably june of 1917. mitchell: the first combat contingent was the u.s. 1st division. this might be those troops who arrived in france with lots of fanfare. guillaume: bordeaux now. southwest france. very famous for wine. they are entering the river. you can see how many people are waiting for the american troops. hoping for liberation. bordeaux was not part of the front line. it was 500 miles from the front line. but all of these people are aware of what has been going on for the last thre

nov eleventh is still a national holiday in france after november and. it is also a day of remembrance for the one point five million fallen french soldiers the fact that twenty two years later during the second world war the nazis dictated to france the conditions for a cease fire at the same location is now just a footnote because in one thousand nine hundred sixty three german chancellor conrad adenauer and french president agreed to end the historic rivalry between their countries forever with the ellie's a treaty a treaty of friendship helmut kohl and francois mitterrand renewed the close ties in one nine hundred eighty four at the cemetery in their dong yes it's astonishing . it's really amazing to see what germany and france have accomplished together. these former historical rivals who fiercely fought each other and occupied each other's territory have now become the driving force behind european integration with us the by only that those countries are more closely interwoven in terms of politics economics and civil society than any other two nat

a notice story in this is a very long story between france and germany. with these two horrible wars i mean bringing back mr han and call into this conversation these were post-war leaders they lived through a ball or two and so when when they when they talked about european unity the difference for them was really between peace and war two leaders here today france france as many mccrone and germany's angela merkel do you think that they they view it with the with the same lens. i think of course their view is a different one because they didn't they have no experience with with the war with the second world war and with all the tragedy that took place in europe and all over the world i think for a minute mark or history. is a very important topic we have seen that in the last eighteen months. plays a role in the in the relationship of france for example with his former colonies in africa in order parts of the world and also also in the french german relationship so i think and i think that history and symbols also are very important very important also

a new report commissioned by french president emmanuel mccall says that france must return the arctic stole. the author has found that as much as ninety five percent of sub-saharan african art is held outside the continent. in between a country with a renowned art legacy france's move is being hailed as a step toward justice. by returning property is not a matter of victory for someone or failure for others because in the end it's not a battle. he needs these assets to strengthen its national economy to provide employment and also for all the cultural heritage managers and curators in this country. back in paris some resistance french our dealers are skeptical that museums can or even should return the best collections. it's one of these things that looks like morally on its face give it back to who it belongs well what is a belong to and hasn't been in that country for over a hundred years and you know look france built the whole music to respect these objects to preserve them to show them so it's a tricky thing i mean i'm actually kind of in favor of it but i'd like to see how it ge

did once hehings he got to france in -- was he fought a bitter battle with the british in france. who basically wanted american --ops just to be fed into particularly the british, just to be fed into their unit. they did not want an american army in france. wilson got lots of complaints as the war went on, particularly after july, 1918. point, it sort of looks like at some point, the british and french were really more worried that the americans might win the war than they were that they might lose it. i don't think that was conscious, but if you sort of look at how they behaved, that certainly seems to be the case. i think pershing -- the two main ideas that he had, one of them was to make sure that the american troops were not committed or fit into existing units. assemble was to try to a major army with oversized divisions because he knew that there was no real way to replace it. i think there's also politics involved. wilson wanted the united states to help decide. together a team of nations. he didn't trust europeans to let the colonies go, and so he wanted the united states

france where one of the the event in france where one of the key commemorations to mark 100 years since the end of the first world war is about to take place. emmanuel macron and angela merkel have just arrived at the scene where the armistice was signed. the armistice was signed a century ago and today's events are focused on the place where that was made, around 80 miles from paris. we will see them sign a book of remembrance and observe silence for the fallen. let's go live to compiegne. we are here in compiegne 70 kilometres north of paris. it is a quiet moment because emmanuel macron, the french president, has just arrived. he is down a pass to my left, he is talking to them, paying tribute to them and he will bejoined by the paying tribute to them and he will be joined by the german chancellor angela merkel and it will come together up a path flanked by french and german flags to this spot where 100 years ago, germany and the allies sized the armistice that brought an end to the four years of the first world war, a war which kills some 70 million people. there we re kills some 70

troops that went to france by 1918. it took a while to get them there because the army was small before declaring war, turned the tide in the war not so much because of the battles they fought, although those were important, but because the germans realized they could not endure very long as weak as they were against these 2 million and 2american troops million more that could have come thereby 1919. they tried their last offensive and got close to paris, but once those offensives failed, they were pretty much done. so, the fact that the u.s. does join the war does turn the tide of the war against belligerents that were exhausted. there were mutinies going on in france. in germany, the home front was crumbling. the u.s. comes in as a strong new world power, gung ho soldiers, for the most part. that's how the u.s. turned the tide. of course, if the germans had won world war i, we might have had a very different 20th century. steve: we're looking at silent film from the home front. how were americans reacting to this war,

and it's been a year since france lifted a state of emergency imposed after they plan attacks but as your interior minister says everything is fine to believe that everything's ok now. that new france is very much threatened like never before actually we participates in the syrian coalition but we also have a vast operation for establishing security in africa so we have a menace which comes from outside that's one threat and massive number of french citizens are in syria about two thousand with their families they are now in hiding because they know that we are waiting to prosecute them in france with some have been locked away in prison in syria during the military campaign. against isis you know all this but isis is not defeated yet politically or socially it is maybe close to being defeated militarily but they still keep their tools and services they still have followers of these and so we don't know. why their propaganda on the internet do you think that now that i says is almost defeat ate their internet propaganda is still as dangerous as before. yes yes of course because when
