France24 can be watched at www.channelchooser.com

Just choose "France" in the scroll menu at the top of the screen and then France24 pops up as the number one of all the available French channels.

According to the program schedule Face-Off airs at 12.15 on Wednesdays. I'll be watching. :)

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Re: On France24 tomorrow (none / 0)

Yeah well, jouranlism today is not about delivering facts and clear analysis but about creating conflicts. The entire program was built around that idea.

Still better than nothing, and I got to see Jerome live for the first time. :)

Re: On France24 tomorrow (4.00 / 3)

Good thing that Jerome ended on the note that "storage is full and there will be no shortage" and earlier said that A pipeline is like a marriage with kids which ties producers, consumers and transit countries in a 30-year relation and that "we must live together".

The other guy said something to the effect that Ukraine has only been an independent country for 17 years and that makes it hard to deal with it (WTF is that for an argument???).

Jerome needs to put his hands on the table and stop hunching his shoulders forward :-)

Is that the French show? (none / 0)

The English one was better, I thought. The France24 people have promised to send me the links to replays of the show online.

Re: On France24 tomorrow (none / 0)

Did I hear correctly that Sarkozy is sending a fact-finding mission to Ukraine and Russia to try to see if "a reliable partner" can be found?

Re: On France24 tomorrow (4.00 / 2)

LOL. Sounds like if they were going to send a mission to find out if there is intelligent life on Mars.

Yep, because for intelligent life in the presidential palace, we are still waiting for the evidence...

Assuming she's living there: I understand the Sarkozys live elsewhere in town and Monsieur commutes to the office.
