people in france have to have a cove, it's hell pause if they want to catch a train, go to the movies or even be in a restaurant like this. it is a q r code that most people have on their telephone, but effectively shows whether you've been fully vaccinated or have a recent negative test. or the government wants to change the rules of it. only people who are vaccinated will be able to access the path, which means people and vaccinated will no longer be able to do things like this. to measure his infuriated people who are against the coven vaccine, on saturday, thousands protested in paris against the pass and against the french president who recently made controversial comments about on vaccinated people, fell at bunker and it is an attack on our freedom. i am not vaccinated, emma prone does not respect the constitution. he has insulted me as a citizen. this opposition and peace as the pastor is an erosion of rights and the approach which even is all those who had be put to get vaccinated. you have to respect janice, we have a i have a clinician rate, nearly 90 percent. but we need to

france? >> some of it is very broad, jewish new yorker, we had to find ways to bring it to a french audience. either to switch the groups and talking about things that we do not have an equivalent to hear. >> you got to discuss that with mel brooks? >> i was lucky enough to have him on the phone. i was pretty stressed about that because i was sure he could be pretty intimidating. in the end, he was relieved to hear that i spoke english. once that was done, we started to talk about his work. he understood i really did want to prepare him and do it -- set the scene in the same period. really loved his original show and we understood all of this. i want to do it with an ensemble cast. that is not the broadway way of doing things. once he got the idea, i think it would be better for a french audience and he said you know your audience. cut will you want to cut. i had the approval of the big chief. >> much of the competent comes from a source which is not funny, out of hitler's and the second worl

that's really been devastating for france. i. this is in the fighting mode when the government actually concerned about a new cultural totalitarianism that's been creeping in from the endless fear may specifically from the u. s. now, in a little, under 12 months criticism over that us inspired activism of a race and gender called woke ism has been growing. the idea that the u. s. wants to lecture france has provoked bafflement. on that said michel boost on the contrary to the united states, we accept much more grouping by ethnicity, by culture, by religion, and precisely where there is a kind of idea of universality was reported world us, it was the golden age. so we're not going to criticize the americans for that. when we see slavery, they abolished it in the united states and 1865 with lincoln, and we in france, in 1848. that's even 17 years before. but we're not going to say we did it before the wage of you, so i really don't see how the americans can see something like that. because if you look at all of the history of our c

but the move has caused something of an uproar in france. some fear and erosion of french values, others, the demise of quality. the debate has even made its way into the french presidential campaign. let me get that out. laughs altima a locker to plead left out in $0.30 for a big flour is $0.10. so prices are being destroyed, savage of cane destruction venue. the bagget price war has certainly stood emotions, but there is also the question of taste. every year in france, the prize is awarded for the best bagget in paris. the jury is made up of top bakers. but also members of the public because nearly every one in france has an opinion about what makes a good bye get. so let's see if people can pick a 30 cent by get from a traditional one. she says ha, ha ha, yes, it's mozilla. yes, the boys get is a tradition. you know, when you go abroad you can try hard to find a french bag out, but it doesn't exist same time. so we get off of what's going on. good cookie, it has to be all crusty and very fluffy inside. the supermarket is called the bagge

i think that france was always open to all of the cultures. things are considered to be so dire that the country's education minister has been put in charge of an anti woke, think tank to coordinate the action. president marconas also made his views clear about it, raising history to appease these woke activists law public. the republic will not erase any trace or any name from its history. you will not take down any statue for people here in paris council culture is becoming all too much from 7 am in constant because i find that in queens back in equality is in fact it separates people when there was no separation before. and it's the opposite of fact. so both we should rather have subjects of agreement rather than a discord. we already sufficiently in a troubled world. i the union of pointing the finger too much can reinforce nationalism and withdrawal into oneself. and that is not good bye. wow, i'm 75 years old and i have never seen the country in such a state. we already muzzled with our masks. we can no longer express ourselves properly

so given in france, and we can give it up like that. it chokes me. i've been working for 40 years to have been contributing for 40 years. imagine if i were not vaccinated. i still want to be treated like everyone else. that's the hippocratic oath. treat everyone who has on well, he's kind of right. the vaccine is free. you don't pay, so it's normal to get vaccinated. it's for you and for others. and in addition, you take the place of someone else in intensive care. while looking after coven patients who end up in intensive care costs around 3000 years, a day in france at the moment with stays on a board average urging a week, maybe the 10 days me, while a controversial new vaccine pass is coming to force in the country, meaning that everyone over 16 years old will have to be job to be able to get into access to different public places like restaurants in to city transport, to get a better understanding of the issues involved. we spoke so charlotte, professor, dr. rubber good sher along with communicable diseases expert, dr. barrett punk hannah, we ju

of course, the very end which was identified 1st in france back in november. what do you just briefly make of the frequency with which we're seeing the emergence of new variance? is this now just the new normal we need to get used to? i think it, it really shows that we are looking out for them. and i think that is basically good news in the area and then turns out to be a problem as we call them, as, as they just in the line. and previously did, we're usually too late to prevent it's free and we've seen that with delta. we are now seeing it with recon despite the. ready mutations, you know, it had already spoke to many other countries and if it is able to spread fast and furiously as on record, it will have escaped already. but at least the note and we have some type of it on swimming. we have been watching in south africa, a number of, of weird viruses over over time. and we're watching them very closely to see whether they displayed any of these characteristics. and fortunately, you know that they happen. so i would receive judgement as to how much of a pro

now another feature, last year was culture was in france. this centered on while some leading politicians among them president micron called woke movements imported to the country from the united states. john and agenda called woke ism has been growing. the idea that the u. s. wants to lecture france has provoked bafflement on ac said look, abuse in the country to the united states. we accept much more group in by ethnicity, by culture, by religion, and precisely where there is a kind of idea of universality was reported worthy. so it was the golden age, so we're not going to criticize the americans for that. when we see slavery, they abolished in the united states in 18. 65 with lincoln, and william france in 18. 48. that's even 17 years before. but we're not going to say we did it before, have to go away. so i really don't see how the americans can see something like that. because if you look at all of the history of our country or the culture of our country, all the countries that we have like martinique in guadalupe who's in all of the i
