Bernard Cazeneuve - Minister delegate for European Affairs, France

from The Interview · host BBC World Service

Stephen Sackur speaks to France's Europe minister Bernard Cazeneuve.Is France capable of leading Europe out of its current crisis?(Image: Bernard Cazeneuve, Minister delegate for European Affairs, France.
