forswear french we are in our passports also french but second class citizens second rate is do you remember what i said the other day. if we had been telling me sheehan would never have had nuclear tests. well that's what i was called back then. well i think that when we have our independence. the whole truth of the tests and their consequences will come out there are. plenty of people who are taken for ignorant and that has to stop. and we are not ignorant. and today we want the truth and we're going to get it for always maintained that their bombs were clean that they were exploding clean atomic bombs but in two thousand and six they conceded to some follow up throughout french polynesia. do you think i see the camp recording test and the stands are test which were carried out the year i was boring. i know that i've had a problem for two years now. and i wonder if it's connected to the nuclear tests. this is the interest. this shows that one hundred and ninety six radioactive follow it's were detected in french polynesia. but we don't know the dose. and they're not telling us but they kno

french polynesia out all the more. great secret became france's marshall islands for thirty years this earthly paradise should be under nearly two hundred nuclear explosions but more also became ground zero of the anti-nuclear movement. cannot overcome the fact that our country collaborated in the development of the atomic bomb. regenerative goals and the french polynesia response to be part of what france will become comedic that is to say imagine uclear palmer. but to me that is disgusting. and one of them the bomb was imposed on us. don't go fit you not in fact he makes us cutie to yefim we're victims but we also are responsible for what's happening to us and for what might happen if friends were to use its nuclear weapons. and i find that unforgivable and. behind this image of paradise lies the secret that surrounds the testing and rips apart the people of french polynesia here economy is dependent on friends and the subject of nuclear testing remains taboo but this doesn't stop maria. bristow mood right now. that

french, what do they say? they say that in the heart of the crisis in 2009 purchasing power went up. the french don't believe it. i understand that. but if the indices were saying the opposite you would have started your question by saying, statistics show that purchasing power went down. what are you going to do to reverse it? you didn't start like that. you said, there is a problem of trust towards you, so you made a comment first. then you went to the fact, my answer is to start with the facts. and to try to change your comment. but it is what i wanted to tell you. including on civil service. i mean do you have to tell the french that some european countries have decreased public service salaries by 15%? pensions by 15%. we didn't want to do that. some european countries decreased the allocation for handicapped adults. we, increased ours by 25%. in some european countries they decreased by 25%. scholarships and universities. not very far. i'm not, i mean just across the water there, you know, we didn't do t

i mean, yorktown was with actually da french vect -- a french victory. but he held the nation together, the army together, and then he veppedded this -- surrendered this position. he could have been dictator, he could have been king, and he didn't want it. george the iii said if he does that, retires, he'll be the greatest man in the world. so he had this elevated position in their eyes, and he represented everything they wanted a leader to be; virtuous. he very self-consciously worked at that. there's no person in our history who was so self-conscious about being virtuous. disinterested was the term he often used as a synonym for virtue. we don't even use the term in that way anymore. disinterested means uninterested for us, but for them it meant impartial, rising above one's interests. we blurred the two because we can't even believe anybody's truly disinterested. i guess the only disinterested people left in our country -- not judges anymore, because, you know, they run for office on the state level -- but umpires and referees at sporting events, they
