france is starving. the allies recruiting french teenagers and old farmers to fight for the resistance could actually feed them. they are getting food dropped from the sky, and so this became -- they needed a lot of female traits to do this job. i don't know that they were better, but they were sort of more naturally equipped, and they taught the allies that in fact this was a very important part of the job that was being invented on the ground. this was the first time this kind of warfare had ever been tried. there were no plans. they discovered that was a really important job for a spy and women were really good at it. other questions. yes? >> how did you come across this story in the first place? >> okay, i'm a reporter, and i had been doing a lot of freelance work, and i knew i wanted a book. i knew i wanted to sink my teeth into a long project. i'd been doing a lot of the sprint, where you hit send and something ends in the paper the next day. and i wanted the marathon again. this was in 2015. i kne

most of france was starving by the end of the war. one french writer said the sound of france was the sound of a growling stomach. and again this is because the germans took most of the produce and most of the wine. there were always things that were buried in order to save them for the liberation, the much beloved bottle of wine. one young man when he met an african-american g.i. brought him up back and dug out his jazz records in order to show him how much he loved american music. it was a great period of great deprivation and continued for another year. the winter of 44 4445 was still quite hard because by then france was largely destroyed. there were towns which the french called martyred. these towns were 80% destroyed. so life is very hard during the war for the french. most people think the french were collaborators, that they lived off of the fat of the land. if you lived in the city it was harder than when you lived in the country because you couldn't grow your own food but the war was hard on the french and humiliating to be

and bombardment, bombing of various parts of france, took place all over france because if the auria for americans bombed just normandy, that would give germans the belief that the invasion was going to come there. in fact, the french expected it to come farther east than it did. so they had an idea of where it was going to be, but they actually didn't expect it to be in normandy. >> mary louise roberts is our guest. she's history professor at the university of wisconsin at madison. author of the book "d-day through french eyes." that's our focus for the last part of our program this morning is the experience of french norman citizens and the initial invasion of d-day. 202-748-4,000 if you're living in eastern and central final zones that's the line to use. 202-7 202-7 202-748-4001 for mountain pacific. those with french ancestry, french americans, 202-748-8002. particular interested if you have stories of ancestors who lived in normandy or france at the time of the invasion. just reminders of the time line, june 6th, 1944. but the original invasion was postponed the day before. 75 d

france -- brian: france's main association are meeting this afternoon just outside of paris. the gathering is getting a new name, the meaning of french entrepreneurs. is therefore the event of joins us live now. the french business climate looks to be in pretty good shape , but there are plenty of warning signs flashing on the international scene. how worried are france's business leaders about the global economy? stephen: it is a pretty positive environment for businesses in france at the moment. we know that employment is falling. job sector was relatively strong. there is pretty good data out of businesses and consumers in france. that is a short-term view and there are fears that bigger international issues like the trade dispute between the u.s. and china, the signals on the market of a potential looming recession, may also affect businesses here in france. while it is a positive start and we are hearing from entrepreurs that they are feeling good about the years to come, one i was speaking to earlier said that french entrepreneurs were used to having difficulties thrown

the position of france. i would like to remind you of on the i.m.f. treaty as i said earlier like to reiterate it once again here in france. we will take up a commitment you know actual commitment. if the u.s. does go ahead it. does go ahead with these plans then we will deploy them to. unless the us deploys them these missiles in a particular region we will not deploy our missiles there too so far we have not heard any response to it it seems that we are being ignored but i think the europeans are interested in having this dialogue in having that response from the us. would also discuss regional conflicts.

france twenty four here brian with this. there's hope for those wanting at the taunts between the us and iran. donald trump who withdrew the united states from the iran nuclear deal last year has been reticent about thehe idea of entering into dialogugue with sharon. but off the surprise meeting between emmanuel mackerel on the iranian foreign minister of the g. seven summits h his tone has changed. and i. spoke to president mcgraw yesterday and. i do everything he was doing. and i approve whatever he was doing and i thought it was fine and- i think it's too soon to me i didn't want to me. i said i don't want to be. yeah but it's trueue give me time to meet with iran and is going to be a great thing for around them a great potential. u. s. president insisted he wasn't surprised or angered by the meeting and said he was united with the other g. seven leaders in wanting a wrong without nuclear weapons. to ron meanwhile hinted that it was willing to calm tensions rag adam and bid on them. if i knew that i was going to have a me

to france. france. macron, chinant was not on the official agenda, but it was certainly a big part of discussions here at the g7. the tradencerned that war that exists now between the united states and china could harm the global economy? if you are, did you talk to president trump about that? are you also concerned that if china's current trade practices go unchecked, that a decade from now, we could be in a very terrible situation? on this subject, we obviously had lengthy discussions. during the session on the world economy yesterday morning, on both subjects. the discussion is underway between china and united states of america, obviously, as we clearly see, creates uncertainty which disturbs markets and investors, and during the negotiations were, will create tensions. we saw this on different stock markets with which we are familiar. now the question is to know what the result of these discussions will be. it was why we considered so important an agreement be found between the two greatest economi

but how does france monitor the use of arms that it sells. like you. with the french government fail to respond to repeated questions on the matter. its sole official response to the issue of arms exports. i report to parliament issued every year. since you left do you visit down south to see that. seal so you get to the we can't tickle me down with the stuff with the stuff he was going to say but that would be a catalyst to nearly triple i suppose a point i made. because i don't necessarily journal the issue i went on i did offer muscle but she recovered but i pulled i just shot this ocean polluted us i want you to call the south koreans and all of us but who want us for that is what we said yeah sure but the city is it will point to it we're safe and a company. that will question you asked me whatever you know the longest walk. every other year french arms manufacturers gather outside paris in veal ponds to show off their newest and best armaments. along with us u.k. and german manufacturers they supply the saudi arabia led coalition in yemen with th

what could france achieve from behavior like this now in the importance of france russia. from the story clearly has been one of the key partners in europe and around the world. who we are. were the allies in the war against germany in world war 2 and next year the french president will come to the celebrations. i would like to thank him for accepting the invitation but our relationship with france says far deeper roots france is also a permanent member of this human security council has a nuclear arsenal and. does play a very important role in international affairs. and the relationship between russia and the you to a large extent depend on that we know what is the decision making process there parts france to support and many issues. particularly on the return of russia to the council of europe has played a role and a major role perhaps even a critical role in that. so i don't think we need any additional evidence that we value our competition with france and again talk about the economy $500.00 companies from france operates in russia i like to assure you that their pre

a world war ii unit that fought in italy, southern france. it is a largely overshadowed unit of a war because it was smaller, about 2500 men throughout the war. it was comprised of three smaller units. the 596 airborne engineer company. 460th air battalion. those three units together made that regimental combat team, which the entire campaign was attaching larger divisions where they were needed throughout the war. we are representing them during their maritime alps campaign in the south of france near the italian border. they were test with protecting the right flank of the main advance of the rome river valley. that came from the operation dragoon campaign in august 1944. the second invasion of france, overshadowed by operation overlord, the normandy operation. both operations were designed to take place simultaneously. they were codenamed hammer and the anvil. fortunately, due to lack of landing craft and aircraft, higher command was unable to have both operations at the same time. normandy would be the more important operation as we know

to france, yes. >> thank you. china was not on the official agenda but it was certainly a big part of the discussions here at the g7. are you concerned that the trade war that exists now between the united states and china could harm the global economy? if you are, did you talk to president trump about that? and are you also concerned about if china's current trade practices go unchecked, in a decade from now, we could be in a terrible situation? pres. macron: [speaking french] translator: we obviously had lengthy discussions. during the session, the world economy yesterday morning. on both subjects. the discussions underway between china and the united states of america, obviously as we clearly see, creates uncertainty, which disturbed markets and investors. negotiations, it will create tensions, which is the case of any discussion. we saw this on different stock markets with which you are familiar. now the question is to know what the results of these discussions will be, and that's why we considered it was so i

and france. macron was coming out at the g7 talking a lot about wanting international rules around this as well and that he would really like some international clarity on this. any idea what that would look like? laura: basically what they are doing -- most countries in the world are looking at this and basically they are getting altogether and saying at what point can which country tax which profits? when you have companies operating across borders and particularly in the digital economy that this profit was earned to this country. users across the country, across the world were using these platforms and products. they are hoping to come to that agreement by the end of next year. that should create some clarity. really, it is now down to are companies going to be happy with this? are they going to feel like they got a good deal? taylor: perhaps some much-needed good news for the big companies that have been otherwise beaten down in recent months. that was laura davison. still ahead, lyft has re
