in a visit earlier this year, the candidate macron shocked many in france when he said france's more than a century of colonial rule was "a crime against humanity." time for our business update with brian quinn. you are going to start in ireland, where time is running out to figure out a solution for the border with northern ireland once the u.k. leaves europe. brian: we're just about a week away from a summit between the u.k. anti-e.u. that will decide whether brexit talks can move on to crucial negotiations over a trade relationship. the issue of a border between the republic of ireland, a member of the e.u., and northern ireland, a part of the u.k., is proving enormously difficult. neither side wants a hard border between them, but neither can afford to have the border that an open frontier on the island would require. this is causing irish businesses concern. they are facing an uncertain future as the u.k. government is trying and so far failing to #a deal about what to do with the irish order when it leaves the e.u. this chocolate manufacturer sends 80% of its exports to the u.k

france, this u to bean space. 89% of african-americans who went over to france did so as laborers, when you got to france, whether you're an american or other allied forces, what you saw in these cities were all black people manning them. a tiny tiny town on the western coast there's a huge depot. and they become these con tested terrains. these are not soft pawed men, and they're not just african-americans in the united states. 50% of longshoreman were jamaican. in the case of miami, they control the union and they're bohemian they're working those docks. these posters -- these images are in stark contrast to those targeted at african-americans. children in particular are prideful soldiers. this poster produced in 1918 but note here that the african-american 108diers are keeping the germans at bay and killing them in the dead center near the flag. and nobody's wearing overalls or lifting a crate. this disjunction is very complicated and the press, the black press certainly addresses it. when these african-americans arrive in france, what do they encounter? a continent that has spent a

genie: the front pages in france are still focused on one man. the country's biggest star died yesterday, johnny hallyday. >> all of the major national papers and local papers have dedicated several tens of pages to this man. he passed away at the age of 74 yesterday. this is in reference to a radio show that made him incredibly popular with fans in the early stages of his career. the paper hails his style of rock which symbolize all and it's contrary. he was rebellious and reactionary. he was a big drinker, seducer, husband, loving father. from 20like this page minutes. they have chosen an old photo of johnny for its cover. here he is dancing and singing in a paris concert in 1962. he is engraved in rock history. you found a piece from the washington post about the slow death of the power suit. >> traditionally the suit did represent power, seriousness, maturity, professionalism. it was a rite of passage. deal. a big it turns out we are in the throes of its final dying day. a death that started with casual friday and then the power suit managed

fight this war or rather not really a war says macron but a military operation still round two for france in libya. today were intervening in libya we are intervening in order to enable the libyan people to choose their own destiny it must not be deprived of its rights by violence and terror the fact that slavery is so rampant in libya is because the country's army and political order were obliterated under nato bombardment six years ago since then libya has been stuck in a brutal and bloody political transition as president macro calls it or absolute chaos and anarchy as anyone out call it as long as it is a failed state the problem will come back as a failed state because the regime of cut off the top was not a mass regime nobody says that was destroyed by the french and british together in two thousand and eleven. so here's a look then at how modern slavery is spread around the world at the moment africa has actually come out worst with seven point six people per thousand just below them we have asia and the pacific and then in third place is europe and central asia interesting enough

they would sign up and go fight in the trenches in france. do you have any particular observations of how they reacted to their service versus the americans? prof. faulkner: one in five american soldiers is a first-generation immigrant. it is a large population. the army is relatively progressive in their treatment. they have special manuals that are printed, they put them in special classes to teach them english, basic rudiments. at the same time there is a fear, especially with new immigrants, that there is social radicalism could the military intelligence branch is always watching these guys. what i have found with the immigrant soldiers, they are getting fast-track. there are ceremonies in some of the large camps where 1500 guys become citizens in an afternoon. those guys that are becoming citizens seem to subscribe to some of that same american exceptionalism as the natives. this is something that needs a lot more work. there is a project for you. me inwill you please join thanking dr. faulkner?
