French Presidential Debate

Tonight--Wednesday May 2, at 9 pm (Paris time), all eyes and ears in France will be focused on the Sarko-Sego debate, broadcast live on TF1 and France 2, plus several radio stations. Moderators are the popular Patrick Poivre d'Arvor and Arlette Chabot.

Good news for anglophones: according to Le Nouvel Observateur, France 24 www.france24.fr will have a live broadcast with simultaneous interpretation in English and Arabic. For those who have cable, a boon.

If anyone knows how to get it on the web, let me know.

pvf, surely something like that would be televised on French TV .

I know nothing about french politics and the amount of news we get in Australia about France equates to zero.

It's been in the international press-- and the so-called riots following the elections are a few protests, some car burnings mostly inflamed by the press...

The press is pretty much censored in Australia. They only tell us what they want us to hear and never resist the opportunity to tell us all the bad news and never tell us the good news.
When the elections were going on in France we got almost no news about it, but when there were 'small' riots we were informed immediately.
