Leaders macron and the of guinea and ivory coast by his side. The campaign involved british and u. S. Troops. I spoke to andrew smith. A significant operation. It involves landings over two days. We saw the landing of a huge reconstituted french army of liberation. Talking aboutn this was an army which was composed of soldiers from frances african colonies. Andlso involved british french troops. A lot of s support from the freh resistance. We have seen Emmanuel Macron in france. In march, he was commemorating who had a key role in supporting the landings of dragoon. It is hugely significant and came later than normally. It allowed them to open another the advance and from normandy, allow them to liberate the south and it meant they could support the resistance i in hunting the germans out of france and ending the occupation. This came later than normandy. Was that the plan from the beginning . No, it was not. It was originally operation annville. It was operation anvil. It was controversial. There was a potential to make work to operations of that scale. It wasas delayed. It was controversial. This was about joining with coming through italy, supporting the larger element of liberation.

They are rebuilding the reconstruction of the landmark. I spspoke to the archbishop of paris. This is what he told me. Diagnostic isough completed, we will know what to do. It is not reasonable to talk about cost or a timeline today. Once everything is done and we decide which we need to keep and which we need to change, we will know how much time it will take and how much it will cost. What has been estimated so far is reasonable to experts. That was the archbishop of paris. That is all we have time for. Thank you for watching. Stay tuned to france 24.

The trauma turned him against people. Since then, price has stood still. He is 32, but his room looks like it belongs to a teenageger. He struggles to express himself, as if he is trying to find a sense of direction. As if i forget everything. Nothing is clearcut. My body feels heavy. I am afraid of the world.

With no one to look out for them, they fade from view, ignonored by the rest of societ. If these people had more contact with their neighbors, we could avoid these sololitary deaths.
