| 0:00.0 | This is CBS. I on the World. I'm John Batchel. To the south of France, Simon Constable, |
| 0:09.9 | writing for the Wall Street Journal in Ossetani, France. A quiz, an alternative energy quiz, |
| 0:18.2 | but first we check on the weather of paradise. Simon here in |
| 0:22.0 | Southern New England, it's bright, it's sunny, it's chilly. How is it with you? Good day to you. |
| 0:28.1 | Good day to you, John. Likewise, it is bright, it is sunny and chilly. So the high today, 61 Fahrenheit below was 40. It certainly felt really crispy when I went |
