Let's start this by talking about the far right match that we saw in France last Saturday.

I understand that it's not exactly unusual for there to be a far-right march in France,

no offense, but this one was particularly interesting, I think, with the timing of things,

with the situation with Le Pen, the situation with a lot more radical and increasingly more

violent far-right groups. This one had a particular kind of sting to it, or at least from

where I'm standing. Tell us about that march. What was it, what was it for and what did it kind of

reveal about the far-right in France right now? So, first of all, there's nothing really new about

that, that march per se, because it's actually a march that has been organized

in its links to an event that occurred in 1994 and basically in 1994 so 50 years after the

Allied landings in Normandy for the during Second World War a bunch of far-right groups

wanted to organize a protest to protest against the

commemorations of the Allied landings that were about to occur.

And the protest was banned.

It was in Paris.

The protest was banned.

A policeman showed up at Place d'Enferroche-Ros, where it was supposed to happen.

A bunch of far-right activists got arrested.
