Say it again, five times faster. Anchor lets bring in our washington correspondent. What details did trump give about this intended rollout . Reporter the first is that it is going to happen much sooner than expected. He said within weeks, we would be getting a vaccine that would be rolling out first responders, elderly people, and those merck most at risk. Then it would be widely available by april of 2021. This is all what operation warp speed had done. And the job they did to really contract and shrink the time needed to get that vaccine and produce it and distribute it was all thanks to his administration. He insisted that this vaccine deal would be free of charge. It would be a very big deal, of course. It is not clear whether that free of charge is specific to the first round, the vaccine available for the frontline workers and the elderly. It might be free of charge for those people but not necessarily for the general public or all the u. S. Population. That remains to be determined. But really, his focus was to show that this vaccine was coming soon and that it was thanks to the work his administration had done.

At one moment he almost didnt recognize the next administration. He was talking about the fact that his administration would not be going into a lockdown because that vaccine was arriving. He insisted on that and then started a sentence that seems to be going to we will not going to a lockdown, may be the next and then he caught himself and said, we will see what happens next. Whatever administration comes next. It seems his bravado he is putting up on twitter saying that he had these elections stolen and that he would win in the end when all the lawsuits returned and the recounts happened, it looks like he was about to acknowledge a new administration and then caught himself at the last second. It is the closest weve gotten to president donald trump. Anchor thank you so much for that wrap up. Mike pompeo is on his way to paris. The first stop on a trip for allies.

We are 44 meters up in the air, standing on a monument to french resistance. Its is the cross at lorraine. We are here and celebrating with most famous resistance leader who died 50 years ago. He spent much of his life here in the village. He and his wife also raised their children here. A 30yearold captain in 1920, the same year he met a certain woman when she was 20 years old. When she went home, she said it is him or no one. She was a very determined young woman. The couple married in 1921 and soon became the happy parents. In 1928, troubled the column waters. She shared a special bond with her father. He was always singing songs to her. He was very worried if she ever fell over. And carried off by a severe bout of pneumonia. They were devastated. He looked to his wife. He said now, she is just like the others. A source of warmth and affection. Their mutual love remains a fond memory today. There was an enormous amnt of respect. They can sense all that. My grandfather had an enormous amount of respect for his wife. Is couple left their mark on the history of france. This place was known in 1934 and became his much loved home. What does it tell us about him . He love the calm and tranquility of the surroundings. Charles had simple tastes. Far from a chateau. It is a very simple house. It really suited them both very well. We are in the study. Tell us what happened in this room. Here, the general wrote all of his memoirs. As well as some of his speeches. There are lots of interesting things in this room. You might note there is no telephone. He hated the telephone. He did not want to keep being interrupted all the time so it was hidden away in a cupboard under the stairs so the general could properly concentrate. He also had to measure furniture. If you look carefully, the desk and chair are higher than normal. Artisans from paris capital of this furniture specifically for him and gave it after the war in 1947. We have the most magnificent gardens. Did he used to walk a lot in these gardens . Yes. The general loved walking in the park. And he invited all of the visitors to do the same. Visitors like german chancellor who took a walk around the grounds. He spent more times inside. This is the library. He was a prolific reader, so i imagine he spent a lot of time in here.

He became very sick and died soon after at this very table when he was about to turn 80 years old area years old. And i heard he told his wife to burn some of his personal effects. Is that true . Yes, it is rather remarkable. We suspect charles had decided beforehand to burn and destroy everything personal to the two of them. The night of his funeral, his wife took their bed and even the tableware, everything personal to them, and burned it in front of the house. The neighbors saw a huge fire go up and had no idea what was going on. She preserved her husbands privacy and protected him right until the end. Thank you very much for taking the time to show us around this house today. [speaking foreign language] Charles De Gaulle was a towering figure. He also had a towering personality. He could be charismatic, arrogant, and difficult. In this report, we will look at how his persona influenced his professional life. Everyone that works with him has extraordinary memories of him. He was profoundly courteous and extremely respectful of those working for him. He could be cutting, but he was never disrespectful. Ministers, assistants, political opponents. Hundreds came into the orbit of Charles De Gaulle. In june of 1940, the germans had taken paris. He was in london making an appeal for french resistance. His secretary at the time trscribed the speech which was broadcast to france by t bbc. He was like a rock in a storm. He had aniform with smart treasures and was trousers and extreme the calm. Was able to keep his calm. They were tasked with everyday jobs like passing on messages. He would yell at assistance and other staff to press on in a different form. Sometimes, it was very harsh. Her rude, even. He often used the word more on moromoron. He was exacting on himself and others. He was a huge headache for diplomats and political opponents who accused him of being far too stubborn. Even his ally Winston Churchill complained of his and susser insufferable rudeness in private telegrams. The british viewed him in a very negative light. They expected more gratitude from him. Perhaps in the end, not fawning over the british was part of his success. The calls between churchill and de gaulle became water under the bridge and were replaced with mutual respect. In line with his wishes, de gaulle was buried here alongside his wife and his daughter. Half a century after his death, it is clear that he still wields enormous influence in france. He is not a figure without criticism, but for many people, he remains an icon of the modern french state. We will leave it here for this episode. Thank you for watching and we will see you the same time that week. 11 13 20 11 13 20 [captioning made possible by democracy now ] amy from new york, this is democracy now mr.
