i know there are a few ambassadors in the room, so i say excellencies, madames, monsieurs,ing it is my great, great privilege, immense privilege to introduce to you tonight secretary of state hillary rodham clinton. madame, i have long been an admirer of yours from afar, but now we both live and work in the same town washington, d.c., and we both have the same goal, trying to make this world a bit of a better place. and we travel the same journey, but although we've been traveling the same journey, we are a little bit alike. we both are lawyers. we both served our respective government. we both have deep ties to chicago. which might explain our very, very soft and gentle personalities. of course, she was a first lady. i told my husband to get into politics real quick. but what ever happened, i always found secretary clinton, hillary, always a little bit ahead of me, a few steps. i'll give you a couple of examples. we were both young, political animals in 1973/74. le i was interning for bill cohen and spending most of my time dealing with his post, helps mail from french-speaking consti

i said, monsieurs, i'm not sure about this. well, i have the occupancy report, and it says -- autopsy report, and it says they found the body under a walnut tree. and they said, yes, this was a walnut tree, it was cut down in 1938. you're standing on top of it. so that was good. [laughter] this terms of the things that really struck me like holly and like deb, the thing that really struck me is how modern all of this was. the techniques they used or still use today, the scrupulous nature which he and his colleagues cordoned off a crime scene, did careful autopsies, took organs back to the laboratory and tested them scientifically was quite amaze, and the whole quest to understand the criminal mind. when i brought some of their findings to a neurologist at beth israel hospital in boston on the faculty of harvard and said what do you think of these findings, he said these guys were brilliant. they didn't have our technology, but they were every bit as smart as we were. so that was revealing. >> i love the idea of separating momen

it wasn't about them as monsieur said everybody needs freedom it's a good idea of what in the opposite of the office but really i'm just barely well it is. absolutely wrong if you contrast your freedom with richard well of course the guardian for its. little worse than has the right to you which is a capacity to do whatever he wants within the pale of the law respect people around you know it there is a very good seal and i would like to see what would it cause a present to you of the future. or the second by he is the structures you cost he said you should love freedom by the other more freedom and order are the same thing or culls serious perfectly obvious. poverty we usually take people on the green as he will lead them and it will certainly read today are very light on which the people who supply are to wealth and the curse well that you brings us more freedom yes the saying you offer us an opportunity to choose and where it's a live view on a good lead in healthy life help others see us explain to people here it's fire justice because they want to preserve their freedom they don't

monsieur has simply redirected his campaign. >> translator: it is the law, and it's true, and it's curiousin candidates disappear so because we have to access to exhibition, it's necessary we go and knock on all the doors. >> i think the first time that a political party has seen such a massive campaign. >> reporter: what kind of reaction are you getting from people? >> very good reaction. actually, interestingly, when we started pushing for this idea people were saying, well, it's in the u.s. if you go and knock on people's door, it's going to be intrucive, but it's actually wrong. people are super welcoming. >> reporter: in france it's called door to door, and, no, not everyone opens up. >> no. >> reporter: but the socialists have a volunteer army of 150,000. people like jan and klaus here, and they are clamming that they will have reached 5 million voters. >> it's to show that we're them so that if another team comes, they know we're there, and they go to the next one. >> and what are you waiting for now? >> somebody to come out. somebody to come in. >> reporter: after an hour and a hal

first of all, phillip, i want to personally thank you for staying up to help us understand monsieur hollandeappreciate your participation and i want to ask you right at the top, do you want to go to a 75% marginal tax rate? is that what's going to happen if your man wins? >> that was not truly my own advice. it's a 75% marginal tax rate for incomes above 1 million euros per year. it's not an average tax rate, it's a marginal tax rate for the very upper incomes that concerns 5,000, you know, individuals in france. i was not personally so much in favor of this, with it might even be temporary. so i think that was a kind of way to show, you know, i am on the left. it was important for hollande to gather voters from the left in the first round. and i think this measure was just a way to say, look, i am, i represent the left. >> that's an interesting point. let me ask you, philippe, following on that. okay, so he needed to attract left socialist support in the first round. there's a lot of fears that a president hollande will break up the eu, with german, france fiscal pact. what can you tell us

this is marie la pen with her father, monsieur la pen who is in many people's view a racist.mments about the holocaust but his daughter holds 17.9% of the vote on sunday, an absolute shocker in european politics. now sarkozy has to go forward to try to mop up some of those votes because she is now excluded from the race on round two and therefore he's talking about beefing up immigration. the right is in full prevalence in european politics at the moment the fallout in terms of austerity and voting for europe could be huge. >> that's amazing that we're discussing the degree to which sarkozy tax right or left in the middle of this election. >> the important point is that the middle ground, you're increasingly seeing a dispassion of voters because they're so upset with what's happening. on the one hand it goes to the socialist francois hollande who has no record of being government. 17%, 18% to the outright racist. that's where we are in france at the moment. >> simon hobbs who is also doing power lunch today. get to work. let's get to our capital markets editor gary kaminsky u
