probably what makes the difference is that france will arrive to very late -- france francois arrived really late. fillon, francois appeared as a challenger and he won in the last limit of timing and also because he had a very focused program on right-side people. again, i think the other candidate addressed his message to all french citizens and maybe appealed for men be people a little -- for many people a little bit too close from last time in's right to enough. -- and not right enough. thinkne: you seem to fil will havel a littleon france. he will bei think obliged by the way to have a everybody around him because we need to have only one candidate to represent right side and center here in paris. otherwise, we will have difficulties. again, to win the battle against the extreme right and the left side. so he will now and i am sure work on a new program that will be not far from the one he was elected yesterday but taking into consideration also what the other candidate had in his program into taking into consideration they have a mixed vote program to make the most powerful progr

>> personally i'm not worried about france. i think france has been a sleeping beauty. we've been resilient throughout crisis. we've been trying to protect our safety net. now the problem is, do we want more private led growth? illon wants to make sure that corporate tax goes back to the european union. the idea is to see if we can do some supply-side reforms when we think the man is kicked in. we know demand is fragile because of the very cheap oil prices, because of the very accommodating monetary policy. the question is how are we going to do it? francois fillon those for shock therapy. the question is whether france can absorb the shock therapy. all the waysitions from the unions to the middle class. if you have reforms that are very regressive, i don't think they will be easy to implement. it will be the proof in the pudding. france, i think, needs another set of reform. we've been reforming, maybe slower than other countries, and the question is, will we maintain our deficit below 3%? will we finally unleash private sector growth? we've been targeting innovation t

and what might come up in france. for the national front there's a long way before they can think about winning the elections. it's a vote of people that want to say no, but i don't think that today there is a majority of the french people who are ready for this kind of populous adventure here in france. >> mr. devillepin, this is carolin roth from london. you say le pen won't have major chances of winning this election because of the reasons you outlined. what about nicholas solas sarko people say he is well equipped to tap into peoples anger. do you think he could ride on the back of what happened in the u.s.? >> he could try to capitalize in that direction. but we are talking here about the primaries. he's on the top of the fight with le pen who has a different personality and perspective, but i think people will think about the consequences. it's a little bit -- our situation is a bit like the day after the brexit. so, people now are thinking so what, is there going to be really a big change in the u.s. policy? do

-- either germany or france, excuse me -- trust me. if either germany or france decide to take over the belgian coastline. britain wants belgian neutral is so nobody can use it against them and the reason france moves slowly, one reason, is the british made it clear they are no happier with france controlling the coastline than they are germany. one side is clearly acting in defense and the other side is clearly not. true that pershing wanted to keep troops -- michael: he said he thought it was important to drive home to the germans that they had lost. as good as that argument looks in retrospect, nobody was willing to do it with him, including woodrow wilson. nobody was willing for sound political reasons to take the victory you got and risk throwing it away by putting an army into germany itself. >> one more question. they had the spanish influenza. 1918. could that have been germ warfare from germany? no.ael: we think it probably started in kansas, for riley, kansas, probably. >> how is the rental was hl mencken -- how influential w

how long do you think it will affect france? we have all experienced this strikes and the problems that france has had in the past. they're a very well organized union, labor groups, back and make it difficult for this to happen. how big a mountain does he have to climb? what you must have in mind is that the recent protests happened because francois h ollande was not elected for this. back in 1995, sakshi rock had a different -- jacques chirac try to do very hard reforms. this is different. fillon is already saying what he will do. to vote for him, it means they will agree with this program. it's really different this time, and i also want to say that he already has a huge experience on protests and hard reforms. he already has had millions of people in the street and he managed to do the reforms anyway . i'm thinking about retirement, for instance. he knows how to do that, and he will, because people will vote for him on this platform. matt: alexandra, we hear a lot of talk about where london banks will relocate if the brexit

i am pretty sure that would be in france. right, allison? you can see the french train coming in, and you can see the soldiers lined up with the honor guard. post: how did this whole concept of the unknown soldier come about? goes back to the mechanization of warfare that you see expand during world war i. you get a lot more at identifiable remains. of course, you had a lot in the civil war, but people were struggling with the fact that they could not figure out where many of these were, so they buried an unknown soldier in great britain, westminster abbey, and that in france, it triomphe,the arc de and it was started by representative hamilton fish from new york, who submitted legislation for various unknown soldiers, and i believe they are in france right now, where the unknown soldiers were taken, four different cemeteries. includes san mso iguel. and the psalm? youyockelson: yes, i think are right. i have walked through those streets before, and it is interesting to see how many people turned out, not just the army, as we can see mostly

in france, where people are saying france does not trust politics any longer, a huge turnout for us. the second thing is the big gap between francois fillon and alan juppe. such a big, with gap, more than 15 points, ahead of francois fillon. francois fillon is certainly going to win the primary election. caroline: you have said francois fillon is sarkozy minus the show. why would you say that? francois fillon used to be the prime minister of sarkozy. he has about the same lines on the economy. he wants less tax, less public sector, less state intervention. he is basically the same as sarkozy, but minus what makes the voters dislike sarkozy, which is too much political fallout, too much affairs, and too much provocation. it is the provocation that finally the right wing do not see why to take the risk of sarkozy when you have francois fillon. there used to be another front runner. do you see any chance? bruno: i do not see how we can see a big gap in this week, --en to pay -- and lng pay and juppe seems to be in good position. francois fillon, i cannot speak to what would [indiscernib
