or do you think france fredricka is serious foreign policy. of course france should take a neutral stance and sees this policy of double standards remember the pussy riot case which started massive outrage in the west with western media calling russia a dictatorship similar to any sleep protests were raging in battering a tiny kingdom in the goal. seven protesters were sentenced to life in prison you see a life sentence is different to say the least from a two year sentence for pussy riot and all those bahrainis did was take part in a political protest but nobody in the west spoke of that because the u.s. fifth fleet is based in bahrain that country is protected by nato and this can no longer be tolerated and i believe that france should revert to its traditional policy of restoring justice in international relations this is the role we should play instead of taking sides about. what has the new french president brought to people friends. mr all and got elected on promises he cannot keep it's a simple as that so what is going to happen is what

is the biggest threat for france but ken france actually resolve its economic problems without european union. when you know the e.u. is aggravating our problems and not solving them and first of all every year france pours twenty one billion euro into the e.u. budget and the e.u. gives us from seven to fourteen billion back it means that every year we lose seven billion euro spent on funding you operational work or financial institutions that provide aid for eastern countries secondly if we leave the eurozone we will be able to determine our monetary policy on our own again to set interest and exchange rates none of which we can do now. thirdly people think that the e.u. makes a stronger but in what way. there aren't any examples of joint manufacturing projects that have been successful thanks to the e.u. many people believe that airbus and arianne space launchers were the result of e.u. cooperation but that's completely wrong these projects are international and i support international cooperation there is also a moral aspect to the european integration crisis people understand that t

so where is france going right now. this situation is complicated at the moment and we'll get even more so it's not just in france but all euro zone countries look at what is happening in greece italy spain portugal arland france is somewhat better off than those in the south but the situation here is grave unemployment has surpassed the three million mark and things will continue to worsen why is this happening because our economic policy is bound to create recession cycles the central strategy is to cut government spending apparently in order to balance the budget people often say there is a budget deficit so in order to balance it we just need to cut government spending but it only works if your income comes from salary the state revenue comes from income tax corporate tax the eighty attacks on fuel but these largely depend on the level of economic activity in the country if you cut government spending stop hiring government employees if you lay people off if the government invests less then obviously social care sys

a doctor was charged under france's anti-drugs act. >> as the 1998 tour de france got under way, the lid was blown off systematic doping in the peloton. >> it was pretty clear there was a major problem. the french police are arresting team members or followers with industrial quantities of doping substances and equipment. >> the following year, the tour de france was billed as the tour of renewable. teams were terrified of being raided, but lance armstrong came prepared with a deliveryman in tow called motoman. >> motoman was this gardener/handyman for lance armstrong. the team i was on didn't carry performance enhancing drugs, so to get epo for the tour de france we came up with the plan and the plan had motoman involved where he would follow the race, always stay within probably a half hour drive of our, motorcycle drive, from our hotel. he basically had the container filled with epo and he would basically just wait for a phone call on a secret phone. when he had to do a delivery, he'd do a delivery. >> and armstrong coming up now. can he get off to a great start in the tour de fra

now, frances' mother reminds her to be careful because every time she plays with thelma, frances seems to get the short end of the stick. frances knows her mother's warning, but she goes off to her tea party anyway. frances tells thelma that she is saving up for a tea set, a real china set with pictures on it in blue. thelma says that her tea set is actually better because it has red flowers, and since it's plastic, it won't break easily. but frances is clear. she wants a real one. thelma insists that her plastic tea set is better and asks frances how much money have you saved up? frances tells her $2.17. so thelma goes in for the kill. maybe she'll sell frances her set and, oh, by the way, they don't even make the one that you want anymore. frances is convinced. she goes home. she gets her money. she brings her money back, and thelma sells her the tea set, and then she says no backsies. frances walks home with her dolls and her new plastic tea set. that is in her younger sister flora tells her the tea set is ugly and that the local candy store does, in fact, sell the china tea set tha

so far, only one of frances's reactors is set to be decommissioned.clear energy accounts for 20% of america's electricity production. if there's a future for nuclear power, as a constant carbon-free companion to renewables, it will look more like the french model and there are promising new technologies that might do much better than the french model with regard to safety, cost and waste. but they're still on the drawing board. coming up next, we'll explore what is the biggest energy revolution right now. and it's happening right here at home. we'll be right back. i'm an expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkward conversations than i'm equipped for because i'm raising two girls on my own. i'll worry about the economy more than a few times before they're grown. but it's for them, so i've found a way. who matters most to you says the most about you. massmutual is owned by our policyholders so they matter most to us. massmutual. we'll help you get there. >>> we've traveled the world to see how other countries have focused on wind, solar

that decision was made by the tour de france. one should get the titles. a tour organizer called that era "a time that will be forever tainted." the final decision to take away armstrong's titles came down earlier this morning. cycling's governing body basically agreed with the united states anti-doping agency to take away the titles and ban lance armstrong from the sport for life. >> bans lance armstrong from cycling and uci would strip him of his seven tour de france titles. lance armstrong has no place in cycling. >> of course this follows a report that both sides agree included overwhelming evidence that lance armstrong took part in what's being called "the most sophisticated professionalized and successful doping program" while he rode for the united states postal service team. the report included sworn testimony from 26 people, 11 former usps teammates. you saw the ada said armstrong trafficked in banned substances, pressured teammates to dope, as well, and threatened those who would testify against him or his circle of sup

today france generates 75% of its electricity by splitting apart atoms and it's no coincidence that franceas cheap electricity, and as you will see, the french are apparently so thoughtful they even recycle their nuclear waste. on august 6th, 1945, the world was changed by little boy. that was the code name for the first ever atomic weapon dropped on hiroshima and killing in the end more than 100,000 people. out of this terrible tragedy, an industry strung up, one that has been surrounded in mystery and conflict. >> around nuclear is ideology, i would say even religions, and there is a feeling that there is few people which are dealing with the life of the humanity. >> the head of generation and engineering for electricity de france, the state-owned utility company. thanks to nuclear energy, france makes $3 billioner year as the world's largest net exporter of electricity. >> the only mass way of producing electricity, whatever the season, the time, the hour in the world without producing co2 is nuclear. there is no other way. >> here in a traditional french down on the normandy coast, nuc

france, around 1890, was a very tense society.public planned to make big reforms, but was slow in doing so. so the broad mass of the middle classes were holding change back, and the working classes were feeling restless. lautrec, as an aristocrat, was rather outside this tension, but that gave him the opportunity, the position, to look at what was going on and observe it in his art. (narrator) he painted montmartre's types-- the working class women eager to pose for cash. and he began to frequent and paint its public spaces and entertainments-- including its circuses. a staple of popular entertainment in the 19th century, the circus was much loved by artists including pierre bonnard and lautrec's friend louis anquetin, for its color, movement and excitement. lautrec was intrigued by the clowns-- whose mix of fantasy and menace seemed to reveal a psychological dimension. the 1888 painting at the cirque fernando is a study of the tensions between the ringmaster's coolly arrogant control and the athletic sexuality of the rider. a fig
