hollande's government.e end of the day, he could rejig his cabinet and bring in a new prime minister, but is that rearranging the debt chairs on the underperforming economy? >> indeed. hollande will probably reshuffle the government. that would be the political response to the large defeat to the socialist party over the weekend. nobody was really expecting the socialist party to win the local elections, but this is a much wider than expected defeat for the political party of hollande. we are expecting an announcement later today at this stage to see if hollande will speak on television. the current interior minister is likely to become the next prime minister has arrived at the palace at 10:00 this morning and is due to have lunch with the current prime minister, which seems to be an indication of what's coming next for the french government. we're going to discuss the implications of the likely government reshuffle with the head of the economy research management. thank you for being with us. >> thank you

firsty were the nationwide voter test for vote -- francois hollande. the results have been disappointing for the president's socialist party, prompting his prime minister to acknowledge voters have voiced concerns over france's finances by switching camps or not voting at all. >> the first round of the local elections took lace in a difficult economic and social context for the french people. periodis going through a of necessary but demanding reforms. some voters express their worries and doubts at the ballot box or by abstaining altogether. >> hollande has recently introduced controversial labor market reforms in a bid to revive france's struggling economy. but unemployment still stands at 10%, and polls show he is the most unpopular president since the 1950's. vote have seen a protest that plays against the left and in favor of the right. we have also seen a vote that is a split in france between working-class voters and the elite. so it was like having to elections in one. >> for years and the last local elections six years ago, the runoff vote on

our main headline is of course the announcement by francois hollande of a reshuffle after the disastrous showing in local elections for the socialist party. speaking for the nation an hour ago, francois hollande, concerned that france's interior minister was to become its new prime minister, manuel valls, who is the most popular of france toss ministers, is to lead a new -- france's ministers, is to lead a new, tighter government. francois hollande said he heard what the french electorate had to say. >> the primary injustice is unemployment. this is why i've proposed a pact of responsibility which is ready to go. this means less to pay for businesses, especially those on low incomes. and on the other side, more investment and more hiring. and finally, an increase in purchasing power, with a decrease in taxes for french people starting in 2017, and a rapid decrease in contributions paid by employees. >> francois hollande making that announcement earlier. very much focused on the economy. still trying to balance out the message for those who voted for the right and the left. the results we

francois hollande may decide to sacrifice them. who replaces him. a huge number of candidates out there don't come with their own set of handicaps. areregory viscusi, bloomberg reporter on the scene. joins us nowote with details from these talks. >> the main take away from these talks, the main conclusion, is that the two sides agreed to talk. the second would be an observation for me. you have two cold war powers discussing a third country, in this case ukraine. it seems an awful lot like the old days. what do they want? this meeting happened that the initiative of the russians. it was president putin you call president obama he was in saudi arabia. the russians want three things. one, they want to see the russian language on equal footing as a state language in ukraine, along with ukrainian. they want to see devolution. thee, they want to see ukraine will never be part of nato. the u.s. wants pullback of russian troops from the ukrainian border. there are about 40,000 according to u.s. estimate. they are potentially ready to move in. secondly, the

francis hollande is doing badly in opinion polls. while the country is lagging behind competitors when it comes to business with china. perhaps it's no surprise they are pulling out all the stops for president xu. behind the french hospitality lies hope for chinese investment and exports to the world's largest economy. >> south korea says it will repatriate the remains of more than 400 chinese soldiers killed in the korean wore. the president says it's a symbolic gesture of the friendship between china and south korea. >> nepal is free of polio. there's no new cases of the infection for three years. we have this report on the immunization campaign giving the nepalese support for communication. >> this girl contract polio at the age of five. she only remembers the high fever. when her parents arrived the doctor when she'll get better she remembers him saying "it will take her years to move again, if at all." when my forehand went to school and i could not, i felt bad. >> she insisted on completing high school. she worked as a primary

the news and bad news for francois hollande.hief european economist on barclays joins us from paris. how big of a surprise was the french number this morning and is it relevant thinking about pointing toward an economic turnaround in france? >> good morning. i think actually we have been waiting for this rebound for a while. we don't really understand what has been happening with pmi numbers. you look at pmi numbers in france since last summer, they pointed toward recession again where as the economy was holding up pretty well. i think there has been a diversion between really --nomic data and the way filling the atmosphere in france. the economicebound activity. just a confirmation that economic activity has been holding up quite well. and that france is still growing despite the week pmi we have seen the past couple of months. should we read into the pmi figures? are you a believer this indicates a trend we have seen the last couple of weeks? i had someone from deutsche bank early on saying you should almost ignore the pmi fig

has promised today. >> also does a change in cabinet also mean a change in policy for hollande? >> well, not really, from what he says, he says he understood the anger, the dissatisfaction, the distress of the voters. and he wants to go on with his reforms. but having social policy hand in hand with his economic reforms. he has insisted as he has done in the last two years in the necessity to reform the french economy. in fact besides this speech there's not really anything new except that he is trying to show a new determination. >> patrick we know that hollande and his socialists have lost out strongly to the ump. the ump must decide who it wants as its presidential candidate and could that mean the return of the former president sarkozy? >> sarkozy has been painted by a lot of affairs and frankly speaking the situation within the ump even if they had won the haas election is not much better than the socialist party. there is fighting for the leadership, there is dissatisfaction among the party ranks and the ump doesn't have a leader, doesn't have a policy. so we will see infi

van gogh grew up in the country in holland. he was a stranger in the unfamiliar landscape of the south of france, and this was another country. like many northern europeans, he imagined the mediterranean to be exotic, and that's what he made it. he painted its people and their agriculture in landscapes drawn not only from what he saw around him but from japanese prints and etchings by rembrandt. here, he said, he was seeking his japan. in other words, a world of the imagination. and here he found it. in his collection of japanese prints, van gogh saw a beautiful, sun-filled, harmonious world which he imposed on the landscapes of provence. the prints themselves gave him confidence to use color more brilliantly and in a more arbitrary way. yet unlike gauguin and bernard, he never really understood the implications of the prints in terms of surface and flatness. his surfaces are thick encrustations of paint, but they always refer, often vividly, to the quality and texture, shape and perspective, of what he painted. he painted hims
