Any with English? Pretty sure the BBC broadcast the last debate, but it seems we can't even expect that anymore.

Try flicking about some of the random news channels if you have Virgin or Sky. CNN International maybe?

Can someone explain why the debate is just three days before the election?

I suppose so it's fresh in people's minds. I'm pretty sure most European countries have them pretty close to Election Day.

Tradition.


Anyways, just watching Sarko's TV clip, and it's basically a negative spot ! I don't get it. I thought they were banned ? Did Sarko just break the law ? Huh

Nicolas Sarkozy? Breaking the law? Well, i'd never believe that.

After struggling to find a good English stream, I'm hoping my questionable French skills will pull me through.

What are the 2 talking about ?

I can watch them on my TV, but I don't understand anything but a few numbers or something.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/france/9241927/French-presidential-debate-live.html

Hollande's just been attacking Sarko "10 year" as a leading politician, as Home Minister and Finance Minister, tying his time at the Finance ministry to the economic problems and the deficit.

My impressions so far:
Hollande's coming across and sincere and nice, but a victim and Sarko's just looked like a bully for the past 40 minutes.

Sarko: "Since 2009, France hasn't known of a recession."

Ah... um, did he just say that?

Sarkozy sometimes looks like he'd jump over to Hollande to try and strangle him.

Interesting that it was the opposite in 2007, with Segolene looking like she wanted to kill Sarko.

WTF, France 24 stopped showing the debate in the middle to move to an analyst, why would you do that? It's like a sports channel turning off a football match in the middle to talk about what happened so far in the match.

http://www.tv5.org/cms/chaine-francophone/info/France-2012/p-19111-election-presidentielle.htm - It's in French btw

You mean like Bee-roo ?

The correct pronounciation is obviously By-roo, though some in France still call him Beh-roo.

Bee-roo, yeh
