Vincent Bollore’s Canal+ decision to stop working with about 600 film professionals follows a petition tied to his divisive role in France. France’s national health agency warns that nearly half the population exceeds recommended cadmium exposure, citing contamination in breakfast cereals and baguettes, and points to government plans to regulate certain fertilisers. Hundreds of Britons have been denied entry into France as the EU Entry/Exit System tightens border controls for visitors. Renovating property in France can lead to unpleasant surprises, with advice offered from Brittany on avoiding problems. The episode also covers French words that do not translate neatly into English, including meanings and origins of expressions.
"French right-wing billionaire Vincent Bollore, owner of Canal+, said he would no longer work with around 600 actors, directors, and technicians who had signed a petition against him. We discuss the reasons for the petition - but also why Bollore is such a divisive figure in France and whether the petitioners are right to be concerned."
"France's national health agency has warned that nearly half the population exceeds the recommended exposure to the heavy metal cadmium, with breakfast cereals and baguettes contaminated. We look at where it comes from and what measures the government plans to take to regulate certain fertilisers."
"Next, we look at why hundreds of Britons have been denied entry into France in recent months, and how the EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) is tightening border controls for visitors."
"Buying and renovating property in France is a dream for many, but renovations do not always go to plan. Joining us from Brittany, our guest Rosie Ellis - from the podcast French Reno Diaries Uncensored - shares her advice on how to avoid unpleasant surprises. Finally, we wrap up this week's episode with certain French words that are simply untranslatable in English."
